Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 736 - 327. Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors
Lin Xuangan's Octo-Arm Daemon martial spirit still hovered behind him, and as he shouted angrily at the Shitian Buddha, his cultivation did not converge in the slightest, which meant that his voice could almost reach tens of thousands of miles away.
Hou Yuxiao had finally felt the strength of a Martial Dao Saint for the first time in his life.
As the fog in the sky suddenly closed in, the air within thousands of miles froze instantly, not a whiff of wind could be heard, and the entire space seemed to have paused.
After three breaths, the clouds in the sky suddenly parted, releasing a layer of dazzling Buddha light which came with waves of Chan music, as if countless monks were chanting next to one's ear, the sound growing louder, denser, and faster...
"Obstinate fool, if you refuse to hand over the Treasure Map, then I shall take it myself!"
The voice of Shitian Buddha still sounded compassionate, but as his words came to an end, the fog violently condensed, followed by a Sky-reaching Buddha Palm, spanning thousands of miles, sweeping through the fog with overwhelming might and slowly extending towards Lin Xuangan.
Slowly, that was just the visual effect to the naked eye.
In fact, it was because the palm was so large that it created the illusion of moving slowly, and moreover, the great force pushing the palm forward nearly split the whole world into two. Hou Yuxiao had witnessed Huangfu Xing's Kara Destroyer Palm years ago, which spanned barely over five hundred miles and at most, split the land within a thousand miles.
At this moment, however, the palm of Shitian Buddha already reached ten thousand miles, parting the realms of tens of thousands of miles, almost reaching the middle of Xuzhou.
Fear involuntarily appeared in Hou Yuxiao's pupils, which included the fear of death, but even more so, a sense of insignificance when facing an irresistible force, at play in his heart.
Could it be that Shitian Buddha intends to kill all three of them?
"Obliterate all directions, Nine Springs Holy Spear!"
Lin Xuangan did not give up resistance; the move he had used against the Fahai World-Honored One earlier was apparently his strongest technique. The eight beams of profound light in the hands of the Octo-Arm Daemon were identical to the previous ones, but sadly, his opponent had changed from Fahai to Shitian Buddha.
"Pitiful tricks, daring to flaunt such before me, hmph!"
Shitian Buddha's contempt was justified, as neither the spear in Lin Xuangan's hand nor the eight beams of profound light from the martial spirit of the daemon behind him could get close before being suppressed by his vast palm.
The two were not on the same level at all; Lin Xuangan's desperate resistance didn't even stir a ripple before he was grasped in the hand of the Shitian Buddha.
The Sky-reaching Buddha Palm firmly trapped Lin Xuangan, ready to crush him at any moment.
This scene weighed heavily on Hou Yuxiao's heart...
Fahai, at the pinnacle of Sub-Saint cultivation in the Martial Path, and also known as the strongest of the World-Honored Ones of the Chan Sect, should be counted among the stronger Sub-Saints in the world, yet he was no match for Lin Xuangan, who should be the very top among the Sub-Saints of Martial Dao.
The very top of Sub-Saints of Martial Dao, facing a Martial Dao Saint, without any power to fight back?
Hou Yuxiao was beginning to understand why there were only ten Holy Lands in the world.
The power with a Martial Dao Saint at its core was entirely different from all other powers.
......
"Lin Xuangan, I'll give you one last chance, hand over the Treasure Map!"
"Alright, I'll give it to you."
Shitian Buddha seemed somewhat taken aback, pausing for more than three breaths without responding to Lin Xuangan, but Lin Xuangan was now looking up, truly holding out a palm-sized, corner-missing golden seal in his hand.
That golden seal, as if possessed by some magic, instantly captivated Hou Yuxiao's gaze the moment it appeared. At the same time, he felt that from Hexi as the center, powerful presences were rapidly approaching from the southeast, northwest, and all other directions.
People were coming.
Something that moved the heart of Shitian Buddha, wouldn't it move other Martial Dao Saints?
People from other Holy Lands were coming!
Hou Yuxiao realized the newcomers were Martial Dao Saints and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Quickly give it to me!"
But Shitian Buddha was different; his expression immediately tensed up as he barked an order, and drawing Lin Xuangan's seal into his hand, the massive Sky-reaching Buddha Palm instantly shrank to the size of an ordinary person's, seizing the seal before swiftly retracting.
What he didn't notice was that the moment the seal reached his hand, a cold smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Lin Xuangan's mouth.
Lin Xuangan's pupils suddenly shrank, and a glint of firelight erupted from the Star Sea Holy Core within the belly of the Octo-Arm Daemon Martial Spirit behind him. A ruthless look flashed in his eyes as he directly pulled out his own Star Sea Holy Core. While the firelight was still present, he flashed over and flung it onto the golden seal he had just released.
Hum...
The moment the golden seal came into contact with the fiery Star Sea Holy Core, it was as if it was ignited, instantly releasing a terrifying surge of energy that shockingly blasted in all directions, then collected the aura from tens of thousands of miles around into itself.
After drawing in the surrounding atmospheric currents, the seal burst forth with blinding light, and the energy fluctuation emanating from within made Hou Yuxiao feel a palpitation that was even more intense than that of Shitian Buddha in mid-air.
What on earth was the Treasure Map?
And what was Lin Xuangan doing?
"Self-immolating the Holy Core, Lin Xuangan, have you lost your mind?"
The voice of Shitian Buddha at this moment had lost its previous composure and instead sounded somewhat frantic. No, the hand that had been gripping the Treasure Map tightly now resembled someone trying to discard a hot potato, desperately trying to shake off the Treasure Map.
He successfully threw away the Treasure Map, but the problem was, the voice of Lin Xuangan, like a Death Sentence coming from the depths of hell, caused Shitian Buddha's mind and spirit to tremble violently.
"You bunch of traitors and rebels, don't you all want the Treasure Map? Today, I will give it to you, and let's see who has the greatest ability!"
Boom......
The light of the Treasure Map reached its peak and then, in an instant, all that remained in the entire world was a layer of white light. The white light swiftly began to corrode space, and even the slightest contact with the ground instantly dissolved it into nothingness, revealing the endless void behind it.
"Lin Xuangan, ah... I will take your life!"
On the ground, Hou Yuxiao's pupils were filled with shock upon hearing the agonized scream of Shitian Buddha. Clutching Zhao Qingxue, he frantically retreated, but no matter how fast he withdrew, he couldn't outrun the spreading speed of the white light. Feeling a scorching pain on his back, he seemed to sense the breath of death, his nerves stretched to the limit.
"Xue'er, this is the last thing your father can do for you!"
Hou Yuxiao felt Zhao Qingxue tremble suddenly in his arms, thinking she was afraid. He tried to suppress his own fear, about to offer words of comfort, but before he could speak, the worn-out voice of Lin Xuangan entered his mind.
"After taking care of such a big trouble for you, don't let me down with my Qingxue in the future!"
What did he mean by taking care of such a big trouble for him?
As Hou Yuxiao was startled, a sudden wave of darkness enveloped him and Zhao Qingxue in his arms. The destructive white light that filled the sky was stopped right outside, passing directly through them and continuing to spread into the distance.
"Ah......"
Shitian Buddha was obviously enduring immense pain, and his wailing no longer carried a trace of his previous compassion, just agony and misery.
The exploded Treasure Map actually possessed such power...
"Nine fragments, what a move by Lin Xuangan, trying to scheme against us with his dying breath!"
Suddenly, a voice came from mid-air.
Hou Yuxiao quickly looked up, his expression turning stern.
Nine mists were slowly floating in the middle of the sky, and within each mist, a golden light was flickering. Even from a distance, Hou Yuxiao could see that these golden lights were the fragments of the just-exploded Treasure Map, for those lights were still releasing deadly white light.
Of course, the white light had become much weaker.
"Shi Tian took one piece and ran away, so let's discuss how we should divide these remaining eight fragments of the Treasure Map among us?"
Did all the Holy Lands in the world want the Treasure Map?
There were still nine great Holy Lands left in the world, and did Lin Xuangan deliberately break the Treasure Map into nine pieces?
With Shi Tian having taken one piece, how would the remaining eight pieces be divided among the nine great Holy Lands?
Was Lin Xuangan, even in his dying moments, playing a game of causing strife among allies?
Hou Yuxiao almost instantly organized his thoughts and realized that the eight groups of mist in mid-air were the lords of the nine great Holy Lands of the world. He immediately reined in his aura, not daring to flee, just holding Zhao Qingxue and standing still, too afraid to make any movement.
