Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 977 - 975: Summiting Spirit Mountain, Sitting on an Equal Footing!

Chapter 977: Chapter 975: Summiting Spirit Mountain, Sitting on an Equal Footing!

Swoosh!

As Xiao Yi moved, the Red Sky Sword fused as one with his form.

The sword became one with the human.

Ripping through the heavens!

In an instant...

He turned into a streak of light, dashing up the stairway to the heavens, heading straight for the end of the stairway. As Xiao Yi sprinted forward, the surrounding God Devouring Ants also swiftly swept in, enveloping his body and morphing into a set of golden armor. The cold gazes of ant after ant on the armor were enough to make one’s scalp go numb.

Even the Buddha Mother felt a headache coming on.

This was a terrifying creature capable of devouring the likes of martial artifacts and Spirit Mountain.

But now was not the time to hesitate.

The dignity of the holy cannot be desecrated!

The Buddha Mother’s eyes burst forth with two glimmers of cold light, each three inches long, but possessing the might to annihilate the world.

Merely her gaze shot out, and the void began to tremble—an attack that even ordinary beings at the Peak of Supreme Realm could not withstand. They could only submit to it, just as when Xiao Yi first met the Buddha Mother’s Dharma Body; a single glance had robbed him of his ability to move.

He could only watch helplessly as Little Lin suffered the torment and destruction at the hands of the Celestial Dragon Supreme.

But now the situation was no longer the same as it had been!

Xiao Yi’s body trembled, streams of light burst forth, and the power of sealing the gods settled the chaotic void once again.

"Sword, come forth!"

With a gesture from Xiao Yi, the silver patterns on the Red Sky Sword came to life, transforming into a silver Phantom Phoenix. The phantom tightly wrapped around the sword, and amidst the resounding buzz of the sword’s hum, it cut through the void, aiming for those two beams of cold light.

Boom boom!

The clash of the sword with the gaze formed a spherical energy orb in mid-air.

Two distinctly different powers battled constantly.

The terrifying commotion caused the vast Spirit Mountain itself to tremble.

Plop—

In a slight sound.

Both energy forces dissipated at the same time.

An evenly matched confrontation?

No!

Within that peaceful void, the two beams of cold light indeed vanished, but the Red Sky Sword merely paused before swiftly surging back for another assault.

The first exchange!

Xiao Yi had the upper hand!

Hiss!

The surrounding onlookers were all agape, feeling that their worldviews were being overturned today.

The utmost holy, the dignified ruler, one of the Twin Saints of Buddhism—the Buddha Mother.

He was supposed to be an invincible being.

Crushing Xiao Yi should have been like crushing an ant.

But today...

His true body descended, yet he fell behind in the first exchange of blows?

"I must be dreaming..."

"Can such a monstrous person really exist in the world? The holy beings are invincible, how, how did he manage that?"

Withering Glory Supreme clasped his hands together, his face filled with excitement: "Worthy of being Xiao Buddha King, worthy of the peerless genius who grasped the Withering Glory Divine Skill in an instant, worthy of the one who could make the Maitreya Supreme’s Buddhist heart collapse and abandon Buddhism after a single debate. Perhaps, he might truly be able to contend with the Buddha Mother..."

To be able to contend with a holy being while only at the realm of Supreme Venerable.

He’s indeed one of the top geniuses in the world.

As for defeating the Buddha Mother?

Withering Glory Supreme didn’t even dare to think about that!

Withering Glory Supreme’s eyes showed tension and worry, his heart uneasy: "But... with his current strength, truly defeating the Buddha Mother is still far off. Xiao Buddha King, you must not be the rash type. You must have made other complete preparations before coming to Spirit Mountain, right?"

He didn’t believe that with Xiao Yi’s strength and talent, he would have recklessly engaged the Buddha Mother in a fight to the death.

Meanwhile.

The Buddha Mother was thoroughly enraged, believing the ant he thought he could easily crush underfoot, had repeatedly embarrassed and made a fool of him, an unforgivable offense.

"An ant is ultimately an ant. Die for this venerable one!"

The Buddha Mother pointed a finger nonchalantly.

Upon that finger, sculpted as if from gold, the intricate lines could be clearly seen where streams of golden light flowed along. Circling round and round, they converged at the fingertip, spiraling out like an arrow released from a bow in the blink of an eye.

So fast that it surpassed lightning.

Swoosh!

The spiral of golden ripples collided fiercely with the Red Sky Sword in the blink of an eye.

However...

The power of this finger was far greater than the gaze from earlier.

Boom!

The silver Phantom Phoenix covering the Red Sky Sword shattered instantly, and the Longsword was sent flying backward, slamming into the ground of Spirit Mountain with a loud crash.

And yet the finger’s light did not falter.

It continued straight towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi remained expressionless, as the buzzing sound echoed through the void, forming a giant hand composed of God Devouring Ants. It suddenly grasped the spiraling finger light. The light continued surging forward, crushing and grinding every single ant into a shower of golden dust that sprinkled down from the sky.

But...

The number of God Devouring Ants was infinite, continually replenishing.

By the time the spiraling finger light was ten meters away from Xiao Yi, it had been completely depleted.

At the cost of tens of millions of God Devouring Ants’ annihilation.

"I’ve said before, ants will be ants. Can the mere light of a firefly even dare to compete with the bright moon?" Buddha Mother looked down from above with a cold gaze, her words filled with pride and disdain, "No matter what these golden ants around you are, they cannot withstand the strength of my single finger!"

"Are you sure?"

Xiao Yi smiled faintly.

"Huh?"

Buddha Mother was startled.

Just as she was about to speak.

Xiao Yi’s arms spread out on both sides of him, and behind him, a colossal golden God Devouring Ant appeared, its six icy eyes like six paths of reincarnation. Lights swirled within those eyes, forming six vortexes, and the whooshing sounds from within those vortexes made one’s scalp tingle.

Endless streams of God Devouring Ants converged into a golden flood.

Swarming out from those six vortexes.

Within the six streams, which looked as though they were forged from gold, each contained tens of millions of ants spurting out such that the number of God Devouring Ants on Spirit Mountain reached a staggering two hundred million.

Two hundred million.

This was the ultimate limit that Xiao Yi could handle at the moment!

Two hundred million God Devouring Ants densely packed together, forming clusters of golden clouds.

Covering the skies above Spirit Mountain.

This scene.

Utterly shocked everyone present.

Even Buddha Mother couldn’t help but twitch her eyelids wildly. Her eyes spat fire, her fists clenched tightly, emitting a series of low roars: "Damn thing, what kind of monsters are these ants? How can Xiao Yi... wait... Is this your Martial Dao Fasxiang?"

Buddha Mother finally saw the clues from the Queen of the God-Eating Ants.

Martial Dao Fasxiang!

This was actually Xiao Yi’s Martial Dao Fasxiang?

For a moment...

Every powerful being present was astounded.

They previously thought the God Devouring Ants were merely bizarre magical creatures raised by Xiao Yi. While wary, they did not take them too seriously. After all, no matter how numerous these creatures were, there was a limit, and crushing ten million with one finger would eventually just mean a few more attempts.

But now...

When they realized the God Devouring Ants were Xiao Yi’s Martial Dao Fasxiang, their expressions changed completely.

Martial Dao Fasxiang.

It meant as long as Xiao Yi was alive, the God Devouring Ants would regenerate infinitely.

Unless they could directly kill Xiao Yi, there was no way to truly exterminate these God Devouring Ants.

Thinking of how a hundred million God Devouring Ants had already chewed the Stairway to Heaven and Spirit Mountain into a honeycomb, with two hundred million ants swarming up, even a being as strong as Buddha Mother couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine...

Countless God Devouring Ants settled behind Xiao Yi, forming a golden throne that closely followed him.

Xiao Yi took one step after another, moving forward.

Each step seemed to tread upon the hearts of all.

Finally...

When Xiao Yi’s last step was taken, he had already appeared at the peak of Spirit Mountain.

The huge throne made of God Devouring Ants firmly caught Xiao Yi.

He sat upright on the throne.

Now Xiao Yi sat on an equal footing with Buddha Mother, and as their four eyes met, Xiao Yi’s lips slightly curled up: "Didn’t you say that my God Devouring Ants couldn’t withstand the strength of your single finger? What do you say now?"
