Chapter 2400 - 2400 Power Under The Bodhi Tree, Source of Buddha, Buddha and Desire Buddha
2400 Power Under The Bodhi Tree, Source of Buddha, Buddha and Desire Buddha
“I gave you people a chance, but you guys wasted it,” Chu Kuangren said.
He locked onto the other three, who were horrified after he killed Master Wood with just one palm strike. They dared not engage him anymore.
They immediately retreated, including Blood Buddhist who was an Ultimate Monarch.
He looked at Chu Kuangren in fear.
“I can’t believe the human race produced such a powerful Monarch while I was locked up. He’s as strong as Buddha Emperor in his prime. Damn it!”
Blood Buddhist and the other two tried to dodge Chu Kuangren’s attacks, but with the Infinity Domain active, they could not escape.
Chu Kuangren was the ruler of the Infinity Domain, and no one could escape him.
“Blood Ocean Nether Art!”
With a raise of his hand, an ocean of blood appeared and flooded the sky and land, blocking Blood Buddhist and the other two’s escape route.
Lady Red and Minotaurus were shocked that Chu Kuangren had used Blood Buddhist’s cultivation technique before them, and so were Blood Buddhist.
“Blood Buddhist, who are you to him?”
“Why could he use your cultivation technique?”
The Blood Ocean Nether Art was Blood Buddhist’s unique cultivation technique.
He was the only one who had mastered it in all of the Infiniverse, so Lady Red and Minotaurus were forced to question him.
“I… I…” Blood Buddhist was at a loss for words.
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Have a taste of your own Blood Ocean Nether Art,” Chu Kuangren said.
He waved his hand, summoning tens of thousands of evil ghouls from the blood ocean to attack the three of them.
The three of them could no longer escape.
The explosive energy from the evil ghouls was as strong as, or even stronger than, Blood Buddhist’s.
Blood Buddhist could not believe it. “What the hell is going on…”
As he tried to fight off the evil ghouls, he realized the form, the mystical energy, and the aura were exactly the same as his own Blood Ocean Nether Art. In fact, it was slightly stronger than his own.
“Ah!”
Lady Red, who was caught by the swarm of evil ghouls, cried in pain as she reached out to the other two for help.
However, the other two were busy staying alive themselves, and no one was there to help her.
At the next moment, she was dragged into the blood ocean and ripped to shreds.
Another one of the Notorious Four had fallen.
“Blood Buddhist, if you don’t think of a way to save us, we will all die here!” Minotaurus bellowed.
He swung the massive strand of skulls around his neck. Each swing released a powerful blood Buddhist Light that crushed the evil ghouls around him, but he could not keep it up forever.
The blood ocean was consuming his energy.
“Damn it!”
Blood Buddhist used the same blood ocean to counter Chu Kuangren’s blood ocean.
As the two same blood oceans clashed, a powerful shockwave erupted.
Back at the peak of Heavenly Buddha Spirit Mountain, a burst of evil qi erupted and formed rings of crimson Buddhist Light that started to ripple around the peak.
“This aura… Could it be…”
Buddha Emperor’s expression shifted.
He immediately flew over to the source to have a look.
At the peak of the Spirit Mountain, the golden tree was corrupted by bloody evil qi, its light slowly faded away, and its leaves fell on the ground.
It was the Holy Bodhi Tree of the Heavenly Buddha Spirit Mountain, the Source of the entire mountain.
The tree, which had lived more than ten eras without withering or losing a piece of leaf, started to wither, and at its roots, a black crack appeared.
A massive amount of evil qi erupted from the crack and gushed into a little monk’s body.
In an instant, the little monk’s aura skyrocketed.
“It’s the Desire Buddha’s energy!”
Buddha Emperor’s expression turned bitter.
He locked onto the little monk and threw a palm strike at him.
“So you’re the one who caused this? Stop it right now!”
However, the little monk simply countered with a palm strike.
“Bang!”
The already injured Buddha Emperor was struck by the blast, and blood gushed from his mouth.
“The Heavenly Buddha Spirit Mountain has subdued this energy for so long. It’s time to release it! Buddha Emperor, you can’t stop me!” the little monk said with an ominous grin.
Then, his look drastically changed into a handsome but wicked form of a demonic Buddha. He had three faces and four arms.
As his demonic Buddhist Light shone, he straightened his body and rose to the sky.
Then, the crimson demonic Buddha energy flooded the Heavenly Buddha Pure Land.
“It’s Papiyas!”
“It’s him? What is going on now?”
Cundi, Receiva, Tathāgata, and other Buddhist cultivators of the Pan Gu Universe were shocked.
They knew Paipyas, but how did he become so powerful?
He had become even more powerful than Buddha Emperor!
“It’s the Desire Buddha’s energy!”
The top brass of the Pure Land were shocked by the sudden commotion at the mountain peak.
The Desire Buddha energy was a top secret within the Heavenly Buddha Pure Land. Only Monarchs knew about it.
“Foolish cultivators of the Pure Land! Let me show you how much of a hypocrite the Buddha you worship is!”
With that, Papiyas raised his hand at the other Buddhist cultivators, showing them different scenes and images.
The scenes showed the early days of the Great Hongmeng Universe.
There was some golden matter floating in the void, and in time, it compressed and materialized into a massive egg. Countless years later, the egg cracked, and a toddler around seven years old emerged.
It was one of the Primal Gods named Buddha!
Buddha grew up and trained himself until he started to get strong, and his name became well known. However, as more and more Primal Gods were born, he realized his powers were not exactly powerful compared to the others.
Even a Great Dao Being named Devil Bone was stronger than him.
He tried many things to improve his powers.
That was when he noticed Devil Bone gathering the evil intents of the universe to strengthen herself. He had the same idea but realized his powers were different from the evil intents.
In the end, he went a different way, or to be exact, the opposite way.
He voided himself of his emotions and evil intents.
With that, he no longer had concerns or emotions, which boosted his strength. He became extremely powerful even among the other Primal Gods.
However, the desires and emotions he got rid of himself were reborn into a new entity.
That new entity was powerful and the embodiment of desire.
He called himself Desire Buddha.
Desire Buddha resented Buddha for abandoning himself, and Buddha also hated Desire Buddha because of pure desire and greed.
Desire and greed would drive people mad and weaken their powers.
Therefore, a long battle started between them.
In the end, the Desire Buddha was destroyed, and a part of his powers were subdued under the Holy Bodhi Tree.
To prevent Desire Buddha from escaping, Buddha chose a group of humans and started to preach, which eventually gave birth to Buddhism.
Then, the first batch of monks founded the Heavenly Buddha Pure Land and guarded the Holy Bodhi Tree.
“So, this is your Buddha! He got rid of his emotions and desires for power and killed the new life that was born from it! He founded the Buddhist world because he wanted to subdue the power that threatened him! How ‘magnanimous’ of him!” Papiyas scoffed.
