Chapter 1105: The Buddha’s disciple was killed by someone, something disturbed the ChaNa Ancient Buddha
Three Dao Building experts dressed in black, standing amidst the starry sky, exuded an overwhelming aura that felt like raging waves about to engulf everything, pressing down on the heavens until they seemed on the brink of collapse.
It was a scene that instilled despair in anyone, leaving even the most accomplished beings trembling in fear.
“Who could be so merciless to target the disciple of Buddha like this?”[Ed Note, disciple of Buddha here points to Jin Chan.]
“They’ve sent three accomplished Dao Building experts to confront us. In the current upper realm, who could possess such terrifying capabilities?”
Two surviving cultivators, who had narrowly escaped death, looked upon this scene with expressions filled with dread and hopelessness.
Even if their abbot from Buddha Mountain were to appear at this moment, their chances of survival would be more or less ominous.
The mere presence of the three Dao Building experts sufficed to suppress any cultivator in their vicinity.
“Are you here on behalf of Gu Changge?” Jin Chan forced himself to remain calm and asked in a solemn tone. At this moment, he felt as if his body was about to explode, every inch of his skin on the verge of rupturing and spilling blood. The flame of his soul flickered, dangerously close to extinguishing.
Apart from Gu Changge, he couldn’t fathom who else could deal with him in this manner. However, Jin Chan couldn’t comprehend how Gu Changge had managed to dispatch three Dao Building experts.
Judging by their aura, the three experts before him didn’t resemble the ancestral figures of the Ancient Immortal Gu Family. Instead, they seemed more like the enigmatic Heavenly figure a.s.sociated with the recent turmoil in the Dark Heavenly Court.
Upon hearing this question, the three black-clad Dao Building experts gazed at him with cold indifference, offering no response, as though they were looking at a dead man.
Boom!!
Without any further ado, one of them unleashed a devastating attack, their aura blanketing the heavens. A ma.s.sive hand descended from the sky, akin to a terrifying continent wrapped in chains of Dao rules, annihilating everything in its path.
The profound fluctuations were as if the very heavens and earth were collapsing, plunging the entire world into darkness.
“Jin Chan, you must escape!” At that moment, a resounding voice echoed from the void.
An old monk emanating brilliant golden light materialized, revealing his quasi-emperor cultivation. A thousand-foot Buddha phantom loomed behind him, and his voice resonated like ripples, as if he aimed to shield the guardian of Jin Chan from the impending strike.
Undoubtedly, he was the hidden guardian of Jin Chan, choosing to risk his life and intervene in a desperate attempt to secure a slim chance of their survival.
However, facing a genuine Dao Building expert, the quasi-emperor level of cultivation proved to be inadequate.
In just an instant, he couldn’t withstand that overwhelming aura and spewed out blood. His entire being shattered like porcelain, his body exploded into countless patterns, all dyed red with blood.
“Ants, attempting to save him,” the Dao Building experts who had struck coldly remarked, devoid of any emotion in their gaze.
As his palm descended, it covered the old monk before them. With a splattering sound, the old monk burst into a myriad of blood mist, joining the fate of the previous monks, utterly defenseless.
All Dao rules and Dao orders shattered into ashes as the world collapsed.
Although there was only a single step between quasi-emperors and Dao Building experts, the disparity in cultivation was insurmountable. One was on the ground, the other in the heavens, rendering them incomparable.
“It seems Gu Changge doesn’t hold back when dealing with me, he will suffer retribution sooner or later” Jin Chan spoke through clenched teeth, his usual calm and serenity replaced by a sense of deep bitterness. He firmly believed that all of this was undoubtedly orchestrated by Gu Changge.
Many monks responsible for his protection had met their gruesome end here, their remains obliterated, leaving nothing behind. The three Dao Building experts sealed off all avenues of escape.
This grudge was truly insurmountable!
But he also knew that today, he was likely to meet his end, let alone seek revenge in the future. The foretelling of the Chana Ancient Budha was correct; he indeed faced a great calamity with no hope of survival.
“Is there anything you wish to convey?” The black-clad Dao Building expert asked, “This question is from our master behind us, who wishes to inquire of you.”
“Hehe, well done, Gu Changge,” Jin Chan remarked bitterly, realizing the truth behind everything. Gu Changge’s true ident.i.ty was far more complicated than being a mere heir to a demonic legacy.
“Even the Dark Heaven Court is connected to you.”
“Until you are eliminated, there will be no peace in the upper realm.”
Hearing these words, Jin Chan laughed bitterly. He now understood the true ident.i.ty of Gu Changge, which went beyond being an inheritor of demonic arts.
As he spoke, he clenched the relic he held in his palm, which had been given to him by the Chana Ancient Buddha as a life-saving card, containing an Ancient Buddha’s avatar.
In the moment the relic shattered, towering Buddha images erupted, resonating with vast Buddha chants, sweeping across all directions.
“How dare you be so insolent!”
In the next moment, an awe-inspiring Chana Ancient Buddha appeared at the scene. With long white eyebrows cascading down to his shoulders, he wore a serene and tranquil expression. He held a purple-golden alms bowl, and with a single stern rebuke, he transformed into a terrifying ancient mountain that pressed down upon the three black-clad Dao Building experts.
Witnessing this horrifying scene after, he then suddenly displayed a fierce expression. His initially lean figure rapidly expanded, morphing into a wrathful Buddhist Vajra, aiming to subdue the demon.
Although it wasn’t the true Chana Ancient Buddha in this place, there was a certain connection between his avatar and his noumenon.
“Three Dao Building experts, it seems you do have some strength,” the Chana Ancient Buddha said as he scanned the three black-clad Dao Building experts. His face showed no hint of compa.s.sion as he chose to take action.
As a figure of great importance within Buddha Mountain, his strength was naturally far superior to that of ordinary Dao Building experts. However, at this moment, he was merely an avatar, not his true self. So, he could only do his utmost to guide Jin Chan away from this place.
“Our master foresaw this long ago,” the three black-clad Dao Building experts remained cold and emotionless, as if they had antic.i.p.ated this.
One of them even directly summoned a rusty ancient mirror, its edges stained with colorful bloodstains, surrounded by wisps of black mist. The mirror emitted countless beams of light that scattered into the void, creating a dazzling display, intertwining with cosmic laws like a vast sea.
Gu Changge had long foreseen that the Chana Ancient Buddha would leave Jin Chan a life-saving treasure. That’s why he had granted this forbidden weapon to the three of them.
This ancient mirror was a formidable weapon acquired by Gu Changge during to exterminate the h.e.l.l It was imbued with curses and tainted by the blood of beings, possibly even from genuine immortals.
Buzz!!
The ancient mirror floated in the sky, shrouded in black mist, gradually becoming clear and transparent. Its radiance descended like strands of primordial chaos, crushing the very fabric of the void.
In the next instant, a terrifying battle wave erupted in this place, as if it had turned the heavens and earth upside down. The stars in the surrounding celestial regions trembled and shattered, turning into cosmic dust.
All of this left Jin Chan feeling hopeless. He had hoped that by using the treasure bestowed by the Chana Ancient Buddha, he would have a slim chance of survival. However, since Gu Changge was determined to kill him, he wouldn’t give him any opportunity to escape.
…
Meanwhile, in the distant Divine City, Gu Changge took a sip of wine and engaged in an unexpected conversation with an unusual figure.
The Heavenly Bull Demon King was a towering figure and dressed in ancient human clothing. His vitality was astounding, like a furnace walking the world.[Ed Note, vitality = life life force, Yin and Yang are opposite, vitality is deemed to Yang, so it means hot.]
He had come with many powerful demons and monsters from the Demonic Mountain to pay a visit and was now conversing with Gu Changge in a courtyard.
“This is the message from the Lord of Demonic Mountain, and I am here to deliver her message to Young Master Changge,” the Heavenly Bull Demon King said, bowing respectfully and maintaining a respectful att.i.tude.
As a figure of immense importance on par with Daoist ‘One-Eyed’, the Golden Sun G.o.ddess, and the Chana Ancient Buddha, he didn’t dare to be presumptuous in front of Gu Changge. At this moment, he was keenly aware of his own unease. Cold sweat covered his back, and he only wanted to leave this courtyard as soon as possible.
If it weren’t for Red-Clothed Demoness Chan Hongyi’s personal order to deliver a message to Gu Changge, he would never have willingly chosen to be alone with him. The invisible pressure felt like a hand around his throat, suffocating him.
Facing a supreme figure from a forbidden era, anyone would struggle to remain calm.
“I understand, and thanks for your message, Demon King,” Gu Changge replied, setting down his wine gla.s.s and smiling. Then, he asked with interest, “However, why are you afraid of me?”
The Heavenly Bull Demon King’s face slightly changed, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He was known for his ruthless and unfeeling demeanor in front of others, treating sentient beings as insignificant. He rarely spoke casually. But today, not only did he notice it himself, but many powerful demons and monsters behind him also sensed his unease.
Indeed, he was afraid of Gu Changge.
“Did Chan Hongyi say something to you?” Gu Changge continued, unfazed by the Demon King’s silence. He smiled faintly and then retrieved a prepared invitation from his pocket.
He knew that the Heavenly Bull Demon King’s ancestry had a connection to the forbidden era. However, he didn’t know that the Demon King’s ancestors had once witnessed the true form of the Demon Lord and left behind a painting. [Ed Note, Demon Lord point Gu Changge here in Ancient Immortal Era.]
So, Gu Changge had this suspicion.
“If that’s the case, please deliver this invitation to her,” he continued.
In Gu Changge’s view, this marriage invitation was bound to be sent to the Demon Mountain sooner or later. However, he was somewhat surprised that Chan Hongyi would actively send someone to request it.
From Su Qingge’s words, Gu Changge had learned that Chan Hongyi might make a move on the day of his wedding with Yue Mingkong.
As for how she would choose to act, Gu Changge couldn’t predict at this moment, but he had come up with several strategies.
“Yes, I will certainly not disappoint Young Master Changge’s trust. I will take my leave now,” the Heavenly Bull Demon King replied. After receiving the invitation from Gu Changge, he intended to say goodbye immediately.
He was worried that staying here any longer might lead Gu Changge to discover something. His ancestors were too distant in the past, and some things were hidden away, lost in the river of history, becoming taboos not to be spoken of. Moreover, if Gu Changge where to find out and deduce that he knew his ident.i.ty, what would be the consequences?
However, just as the Heavenly Bull Demon King was about to leave the courtyard.
Boom!!
A terrifying wave suddenly emanated from a Buddhist temple in the western direction. All the cultivators and beings in the Divine City felt this suffocating and dreadful wave, causing their expressions to change drastically.
Gu Changge raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile of antic.i.p.ation on his face. However, the smile quickly vanished.
He looked surprised and said, “This direction seems to be where the people of Buddha Mountain reside temporarily?”
“What’s… happening?”
“Is the Chana AncientBuddha angered because of something?”
The Heavenly Bull Demon King furrowed his brow and directed his gaze towards the direction of the temple. They could see a white-eyebrowed ancient Buddha standing in the void, radiating boundless Buddha light, but with an expression of anger, resembling a wrathful Buddhist Vajra.[Ed Note, Buddhist Vajra is a kind of guardian deity in Buddhist.]
“What could have caused the Chana Ancient Buddha to suddenly become like this?”
“Has something significant occurred?”
Many cultivators quickly realized the situation and hurriedly flew into the sky, heading in that direction. Prominent figures from various sects also appeared, their expressions filled with shock and bewilderment as they rushed over.
“Why would the Chana Ancient Buddha be so furious?”
Daoist ‘One Eye’, Golden Sun G.o.ddess, and other background figures from the Divine City also appeared in the sky, gazing at the Chana AncientBuddha with puzzled expressions.
Their speed was exceptionally fast, and they almost arrived at the temple in an instant, planning to inquire about what had happened.
Gu Changge naturally knew the cause of the Chana Ancient Buddha’s anger. However, at this moment, he was going to join the scene. After all, no one had any evidence to prove that he had acted against Jin Chan.
Seeing Gu Changge heading in that direction, the Heavenly Bull Demon King hesitated for a moment and then followed suit.
“I wonder why the Ancient Buddha is so enraged?” In the residence of Buddha Mountain’s people, many temples were situated. Beams of divine light quickly converged from all over Heavenly Domain in the sky, with prominent figures from different sects arriving. Seeing all this, they couldn’t help but voice their inquiries.
The Chana Ancient Buddha stood in the void, his white brows erect, devoid of the usual compa.s.sion. His eyes were filled with a thick fury, and terrifying scenes appeared, making people tremble with fear. While he was usually compa.s.sionate and serene, when angered, he appeared like a monster ready to vanquish all.
“Jin Chan has been harmed on his way back to Buddha Mountain,” he said in a deep voice, his killing intent surging, his voice sounding as if it came from the depths of the Ninth Underworlds.
Especially when the other party completely destroyed his strand of avatar, no matter how he deduced it, he couldn’t figure out who was responsible. With the Avatar destroyed, he had no knowledge of what had happened on the other side, only sensing that Jin Chan’s life card had been extinguished.
Normally, Buddha Mountain had no enemies. Who would want to harm Jin Chan for no apparent reason? While he had a premonition that Jin Chan would face danger on his way back to Buddha Mountain, he didn’t expect it to be so perilous. Even the protective treasure he had bestowed upon him proved useless.
The rest of the Buddha Mountain’s monks who accompanied Jin Chan also perished together, their bodies and spirits annihilated.
“What? Jin Chan was killed?”
Hearing this, everyone who came over was stunned.
“How is that possible? Who would have such audacity to do this at a time like this? Isn’t this provoking Buddha Mountain?”
Even Daoist ‘One Eye’ and Golden Sun G.o.ddess furrowed their brows.
Jiang Luoshen, Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, Six Crowned King, and others who had come with their elders were almost suspecting they had misheard.
Just a while ago, they had seen Jin Chan in the central hall. But in the blink of an eye, he had suffered a treacherous attack and perished on his way back to Buddha Mountain.
Everything had happened so quickly, as if it were a dream.
“Who would have a grudge against Jin Chan? Who would choose to harm him at this time?”
These doubts arose in everyone’s minds, and almost simultaneously, they thought of a figure that made them shudder involuntarily.
The Chana Ancient Buddha’s face also turned solemn, and in an instant, he thought of a certain individual, gradually suppressing his own murderous intent.
After all, when he was in the central hall, Jin Chan had openly challenged and questioned this individual, sowing the seeds of resentment.
At this moment, not far away, a figure was quickly descending. He wore a black robe, his figure tall and slender, his features handsome and refined, exuding an otherworldly charm.
It was Gu Changge.
“I wonder what has happened to disturb the Chana Ancient Buddha and make him so angry?” He wore an expression as if he were unaware of what had transpired and spoke with a hint of surprise in his voice.
