Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 964 - 962: The Light of Annihilation [Fourth Update]

Chapter 964: Chapter 962: The Light of Annihilation [Fourth Update]

Boom!

The red longsword cleaved through the golden Buddha light, heavily striking the head of the Lotus Buddha Mother.

Crack!

In the midst of a crisp shattering sound,

A spiderweb-like network of fissures spread across the top of the Lotus Buddha Mother’s head, and then, starting from the forehead, they rapidly expanded, covering almost her entire body in the blink of an eye.

The sword light emanating a crimson sharpness kept grinding down, embedding itself deeply into the head.

Roar!

Roar...

The Lotus Buddha Mother screamed incessantly, her pitiful cries echoed above the nine heavens; so much so that a blood-colored cloud appeared out of nowhere in the firmament. Her body convulsed wildly as she tumbled down from the solemn lotus throne.

Her form rolled down to the foot of Mount Shaoshi.

With both hands tightly clasping her head, she wailed louder than the roars of dragons and tigers.

Within a hundred miles radius,

All creatures trembled, as birds and beasts lay prostrate on the ground, shivering uncontrollably, even the king of the beasts among monsters held their tails between their legs at this moment, not daring to breathe too loud.

The myriad of strong beings within Shaolin were the first to bear the brunt.

Countless monks coughed up fresh blood, collapsing onto the ground with faces as pale as gold paper.

This was a Buddha Mother’s Dharma Body, nearly reaching the Sacred Venerate Realm, shrieking in agony, almost causing floods and changes in the color of the sky and earth. If a true Sacred Venerable were to fall, it would result in a blood rain lasting three days, with heaven and earth mourning together.

The Prajna Supreme’s Primordial Spirit fluctuated, his face filled with terror and astonishment.

Looking at Xiao Yi, who stood with his back to him, there was no trace of resentment in his eyes, only fear and admiration: "At the Supreme Venerate Realm yet able to cleave a Sacred Venerable with a sword? Even though this is merely one of the Buddha Mother’s Dharma Bodies, it is still inconceivable!"

How vast is the gap between the Sacred Venerate Realm and the pinnacle of the Supreme Venerable Realm?

Without facing a Sacred Venerable in person, it’s truly beyond imagination.

A Supreme Venerable merges their Primordial Spirit with the Heavenly Dao and can borrow a portion of the world’s power. The most fundamental difference between the Sacred Venerate Realm and the Zun Realm lies in the fact that the Sacred Venerate Realm commands the power of the world.

To draw an analogy...

If the Heavenly Dao of the Qingtian Realm were a bank, the pinnacle Supreme Venerables would be its top-tier clients, capable of borrowing all the finances within the bank.

But they would have to return it eventually, with limits!

The Sacred Venerables, on the other hand, are like the bank itself, taking as much as they want without the need to repay!

The Lotus Buddha Mother’s essence is actually a Dharma Body condensed by the Buddha Mother using the power of heaven and earth she controls; in other words, it is merely one of the Buddha Mother’s attacks.

Yet this attack exists in the world as a constant presence.

Even so,

For Xiao Yi to severely wound the Lotus Buddha Mother at the ninth tier of the Supreme Venerate Realm is an act worthy of being recorded in the annals of history.

Ever since ancient times,

In the Qingtian Realm, there has never been a case where a Supreme Venerable was able to severely injure a Sacred Venerable’s Dharma Body.

The Veda Supreme watched Xiao Yi intently, his eyes filled with frenzy and relief: "Worthy of being Shakya’s disciple, to possess such strength at such a young age. It seems that we were indeed wrong back then..."

Hearing his words, both Qianye Supreme and Bodhi Supreme beside him fell into a momentary silence.

Once upon a time, there had been a divergence in the transmission of teachings among them and Supreme Shakya.

Eventually, Supreme Shakya was forced out of the Western Province by the four of them.

For a long while,

They had believed without a doubt that their conviction was correct. Now, seeing Xiao Yi, who carried on Supreme Shakya’s legacy, being so powerful and formidable, they started to waver and doubt themselves as well: "If we had chosen to trust Brother Shakya back then, perhaps the Shaolin Temple would have unified the Western Province by now!"

"We have wronged Brother Shakya..."

They were filled with immeasurable regret.

Of course...

If they knew that Xiao Yi’s strength had little to do with Supreme Shakya,

Maybe that would be enough to make them spit blood!

Meanwhile.

The Lianhua Buddha Mother’s screams gradually subsided as she, with great effort, slowly stood up; the Lianhua Buddha Mother was a Dharma Body condensed from the divine power over heaven and earth that the Buddha Mother controlled.

Her body shimmered with golden light, the embodiment of the brightness of the universe itself.

Blinding brilliance emanated from the cracks of her broken Buddha body.

Her eyes no longer held their previous depth and sharpness, only a bloody red hatred and venomous grudge as she gritted her teeth and said: "You dare to destroy my Buddha body, you’ve got some nerve..."

With a flick of his finger, Xiao Yi released the Red Sky Sword with a whoosh from above Lianhua Buddha Mother’s head and it flew back to his side. His gaze fixed upon the Lianhua Buddha Mother, surrounded by light that could not stop shining out: "You are already at the end of your strength, why continue this futile struggle?"

"The end of my strength? Hahaha, you have no idea how strong a Sacred Venerate truly is! Even if I am merely a Dharma Body, I am still a Dharma Body of a Sacred Venerate..."

On the Lianhua Buddha Mother’s face, full of cracks, a light shone so intensely brilliant that it made her visage appear all the more ferocious and terrifying.

"Hm?"

Xiao Yi was taken aback, his face suddenly changed.

A chill accompanied by the breath of death enveloped him, causing his body hair to stand on end as if he was in an ice cellar for a thousand years.

The surrounding void was instantly sealed by countless rays of light.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The Lianhua Buddha Mother’s Buddha body expanded continuously, growing taller and larger, with light spilling from her body’s cracks coalescing into rivers of light, shooting out in all directions.

The rivers of light surrounded the entire Mount Shaoshi, enveloping it within.

All creatures within Mount Shaoshi were trapped in a prison woven from countless rays, unable to escape.

A chilling smile emerged on Lianhua Buddha Mother’s damaged face: "The majesty of a Sacred Venerate cannot be insulted! You lowly ants, all of you shall descend into hell!"

Boom!

The light around Lianhua Buddha Mother surged greatly, causing the light prison pressing down on Mount Shaoshi to begin shrinking violently.

Bang bang bang!

Buildings were ruthlessly flattened.

Rumble rumble!

Strangles appeared on the mountain massif, tightening more and more, causing it to snap tensely, with the sounds of bursting floods echoing above the nine heavens.

The powerhouses of Shaolin Temple were minced by the rays of light.

In the bursting sounds of phut phut phut.

Those bodies were turned into a rain of blood all over the sky.

In an instant, the vast Mount Shaoshi turned into a sea of blood...

The stinging scent of blood followed the cascades fashioned from fresh blood, tumbling down from the peak of Mount Shaoshi, covering the whole mountain. Just in the blink of an eye, over ten million lives perished.

A Sacred Venerate enraged brings heaven and earth asunder, a silence of ten thousand spirits.

For a moment.

The vast Mount Shaoshi was only left with the Shaolin Four Ancestors and Xiao Yi.

The Shaolin Four Ancestors, with eyes about to split open, watched as monks and believers were slain by the rays right in front of them, helpless to do anything. Each with tears of blood in their eyes, they silently howled in grief: "No, no..."

"Stop, stop it please!"

Xiao Yi, with eyes nearly bursting, never imagined the Lianhua Buddha Mother could be so vicious.

In a fury.

She intended to take all souls of Mount Shaoshi with her in death.

"Hehehe, this is the fate of those who oppose me!" The light around Lianhua Buddha Mother had dimmed a bit, but she still barely maintained her shattered body, her face adorned with a sinister smile, "Enjoy the light of world-extermination that I have prepared for you!"

Swish swish swish!

Beams of light flew toward the Shaolin Four Ancestors.

Even numerous blood-stained rays were twining towards Xiao Yi.

This was an attack condensed from the power of heaven and earth.

Even Xiao Yi could only barely break through them, completely unable to unravel the Lianhua Buddha Mother’s offensive. As the blood-stained rays were about to shred them all, at that moment, a ray of golden light burst forth from Xiao Yi’s bosom...
