Chapter 292: Abbot, You Wouldn't Want Your Disciples to Be Without a Master, Would You?

"This scene, every frame is extremely precious!"

Inside the Main Hall of Dajinguang Temple.

Su Ping, who was not afraid of his Divine Soul being polluted by Evil Qi.

Under the somewhat astonished perception of the young Abbot, he released his Divine Sense, staring at the clash between Tian Rulai and the children of the Evil God who had torn through the firmament to arrive.

He even took out an Inheritance Jade Slip to record this great battle as seen through his Divine Sense.

He prepared to project this grand scene to the people of his hometown to broaden their horizons whenever the timing was right.

Hmm... perhaps he could even include professional commentary at that time, letting them recognize these evil existences like Evil Gods and Evil Spirits in advance.

The thousand-meter-tall Faceless Giants appeared slow, but in reality, they moved extremely fast.

Within a few breaths, the Faceless Giants had already reached the outermost wall of Dajinguang Temple.

The highest point of the golden wall barely reached the knees of the Faceless Giants.

With the collision, it collapsed all at once with a crash.

The inscriptions and Talismans on the wall were all reduced to ashes.

Once the wall fell, filthy black mud began to appear and spread on the surfaces of the temples and stone pagodas where the Buddha statues had long been shattered.

A large number of Evil Spirits, which had fallen into a state of rigidity due to the appearance of Tian Rulai, also crawled out of the sludge and followed the Faceless Giants as they charged inside the walls.

The eye between the brows of the head on Tian Rulai's left suddenly moved, and after looking down.

Its three mouths suddenly opened in unison.

A Buddhist sound filled with an aura of peace and tranquility resonated between heaven and earth.

Golden lotuses surged in the sky.

Phantoms of celestial maidens and auspicious beasts appeared beside the huge Tathagata Dharma Image of Tian Rulai.

This scene appeared completely out of place with the Faceless Giants and the army of Evil Spirits below.

However, as the Buddhist sound continued to ferment, gentle Golden Light shone across a radius of a thousand miles.

The walking Faceless Giants began to melt like ice cream under the scorching sun.

And this melting process became faster and faster from the start.

Entering the city from the wall, before they could even walk halfway, they had already melted to their waists and lost their mobility.

They could only look up at the Tathagata Dharma Image of Tian Rulai in the sky, waiting for their whole bodies to turn into rotten mud.

The large Evil Spirits were even worse off.

Some Evil Spirits wanted to retreat, but they were like being stuck in a quagmire, unable to move an inch.

Wanting to take flight was even more of a delusion.

Some Evil Spirits clearly had three or four pairs of wings, but once inside the city, no matter how they flapped, they could not leave the ground by a meter.

As the Buddhist sound appeared, the Golden Light emerged.

For these avian-type Evil Spirits, their wings were the parts that melted into a lump the fastest.

Outside the world, the children of the Evil God also made new moves.

An arm covered in black scales, somewhat resembling a lizard, stretched out from the darkness.

This arm quickly occupied a third of the night sky.

Once it entered the Cultivation World.

Su Ping could feel the Spirit Qi becoming restless.

Thunderous roars even appeared all around.

This was the World Will of the Cultivation World roaring and resisting.

However, where those thunders appeared, they couldn't even get close to this thousand-mile radius battlefield of Dajinguang Temple!

Su Ping also somewhat understood why, when facing such a powerful enemy, Dajinguang Temple would still choose to cooperate with the other party and forge a Golden Body for them, even though they clearly knew Tian Rulai was impersonated by an Evil God.

Without the help of power from outside the world.

These natives of the Small World had no chance of winning against these children of the Evil God!

While sighing with emotion, Su Ping could feel that as he used his Divine Sense to look at that black-armored arm.

A curse from the other party rushed toward him along his Divine Sense.

The intensity of this curse exceeded the Evil Qi techniques Su Ping had encountered before.

Su Ping could feel that several children of the Evil God were exerting force behind this wave of curses.

Clearly, these guys, like him, shared the advantage of having a good memory.

However, Su Ping was not afraid of this.

As the curse arrived, the various Evil-Warding Blessings on his body from the Pot Heaven were activated.

Added to the Fox God Amulets plastered all over his chest and back.

As well as the True Martial Demon-Subduing Power stored in his sea of consciousness from daily worship.

This curse came aggressively, with the momentum of not stopping until it turned Su Ping, this Old Ancestor, into a monster.

As a result, it revealed its true colors immediately after a collision.

It just consumed Su Ping's Evil-Warding halo and then dissipated completely.

Su Ping compared them carefully.

In terms of intensity, these children of the Evil God were naturally stronger.

But in terms of quality... these curses were not as high as the Xuerou Zhi Cheng he encountered when fighting Abyss monsters.

After Su Ping resolved the curse, he continued to stare at the battle situation in the sky.

Boom!

The sharp claws opened by the black-armored arm pierced the shield deployed by the six arms of Tian Rulai.

Where the fingertips struck, blinding Golden Light erupted, as if small Suns were blooming in the sky.

This caused the world, which had been dominated by darkness, to suddenly brighten once more.

Boom!

Another thunderous sound erupted, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to sway.

It was the Evil God's sharp claw from the sky that had successfully breached the shield, the entire claw extending downward to collide with the six arms raised by Tian Rulai.

Then, Su Ping's Divine Sense saw the Tathagata Dharma Image of Tian Rulai, which had been sitting cross-legged, stand up.

Beyond the six arms that had grasped the descending claw.

Behind him, pairs of shimmering arms constructed from Incense Divine Power emerged.

These Divine Power arms, varying in size, were all carved with golden lotus reliefs.

They reminded Su Ping of his own Ten Thousand Arms Divine Ability.

And he recalled that his own Dharma Image ability also contained the term "Great Freedom."

He intuitively realized that his Dharma Image likely had some connection to this Tian Rulai!

Fortunately, after reaching the Golden Core stage, he had already embarked upon a different Great Dao.

With the help of Water Blue Star, he had already modified this Great Freedom Primordial Spirit Dharma Image into a Savior Divine Ability Dharma Image!

So he would not, after cultivating to a certain realm, become a wedding dress for the existence behind this Tian Rulai!

After the thousands of Divine Power arms emerged, Tian Rulai chanted a Fo name.

At the same time, a bell tolled in the Void, resonating with the Fo name.

The Son of the Evil God, who had extended the sharp claw, clearly appeared to stiffen for a moment.

In this instant, the thousands of Divine Power arms transformed into golden afterimages and struck the sharp claw.

Immediately, the scales of the sharp claw flew everywhere, and black blood splattered out.

It poured down like a waterfall torrent.

The Buddha Kingdom on the ground, once touched by this black blood.

Was immediately corroded into large pits.

The Evil Qi, which had originally been suppressed by the Fo sounds and Golden Light, erupted once more as these objects from the Evil God's true body fell.

The injured Evil God claw retracted violently.

And the opponent's angry fluctuations could be felt even by Su Ping in the Main Hall.

Su Ping's Divine Sense swept toward the scales and black blood scattered all around:

"Abbot, if these Evil God Remains are not collected and sealed, there will be a great catastrophe."

"..."

Hearing Su Ping's words, the young Abbot's lips twitched slightly; he closed his eyes and chanted an Amitabha.

Immediately, Su Ping saw the Golden Body of Tian Rulai in the Main Hall flash with spiritual light.

Outside the door, the scales and black blood filled with Evil Qi were immediately sucked over.

Su Ping revealed a smile, and after thanking the Abbot and Tian Rulai.

With a thought, he released the Sun Moon Star Chart and swept it toward the Evil God Remains flying through the air.

He immediately rolled all these Evil God Remains into the array chart.

Then, a mass of Blood Sea wrapped around them.

And it returned into Su Ping's body.

These Evil God Remains were still somewhat restless at first.

Even within the pools of black blood, microscopic versions of the Evil God Avatar were being generated.

Su Ping had long anticipated this, and the next second, Three-Colored Divine Light and various spiritual lights shone upon them.

Under the Three-Colored Divine Light, these Evil God Remains immediately quieted down.

And in the sky.

Tian Rulai, who had stood up and risen into the air, appeared solemn and dignified, his entire body shimmering with Golden Light.

He began to approach the gap in the sky, advancing instead of retreating.

After Tian Rulai approached the gap, he sat cross-legged, and his thousands of arms pressed together in a salute.

Then, Fo sounds emanated from his mouth.

The phantom of the Earthly Buddha Kingdom appeared and happened to plug the gap.

In an instant, golden lotuses bloomed everywhere within a radius of a thousand miles, purifying the surrounding Evil Qi.

Even outside the battlefield, Elders of various sects' Spirit Veins were surprised to discover that the content of Evil Qi in the Spirit Qi was slowly decreasing.

Those who knew the inside story looked toward the direction of the Great Golden Light Temple, all assuming that the other party had succeeded.

Only!

It was also at this moment that the young Abbot opened his eyes and looked at Su Ping.

His eyes carried a trace of imperceptible pain as he gave a bitter smile to Su Ping and said:

"Alliance Leader, you... are you still not leaving?"

"Although Tian Rulai has repelled one offensive from those Evil God true bodies."

"And has begun to use himself as an eye to purify the pollution of this world."

"Only!"

"Only now do we realize how foolish we were before."

"Compared to the pollution this world has received..."

"The Incense Divine Power within Tian Rulai... is not enough, far from enough!"

"At most, it can hold on for another stick of incense... that is the time limit that person can buy for us."

"In the end, this temple's knowledge was shallow, underestimating the abilities of those evil gods from beyond the world."

"To think that relying on such a Golden Body could extend the life of this world by a hundred years... it is simply a delusion!"

Sighing, the young Abbot continued:

"After one stick of incense, Tian Rulai will have exhausted the accumulated Incense Divine Power."

"By then, the breach in this region will still exist; not only will we have failed to purify the Evil Qi, but we will have instead delivered this region to those Heavenly Demons ahead of schedule..."

Hearing this, Su Ping understood.

If Tian Rulai truly could not hold on.

For this line of Small Worlds.

The best method was clearly to actively sever this region of the Great Golden Light Temple.

To prevent the main body of the evil god from following this region to invade other parts of the Cultivation World.

This major move by the Great Golden Light Temple was equivalent to losing both the battle and the bride.

No!

It was impossible for the Great Golden Light Temple not to have foreseen such a possibility.

After all, the other party knew that Tian Rulai was not a legitimate Buddha Venerable.

A flash of inspiration.

Su Ping thought of the people from the Chiyuan Immortal Sect who had yet to appear.

He could not help but transmit his thoughts via Divine Sense.

The young Abbot was slightly startled, then nodded in acknowledgment:

"It is indeed as the Alliance Leader thinks."

"Although my Great Golden Light Temple has lost in this matter."

"We have also provided some help for the plan of the Chiyuan Immortal Sect."

"When Tian Rulai takes away the Supreme Golden Body,"

"He will bestow a decree to be given to the sword-bearer of the Chiyuan Immortal Sect."

"It is just that... the specifics are known only to my master and that Chiyuan Xianren."

"This was also a matter decided a thousand years ago."

"..."

As the young Abbot said this, he seemed to think of his master and could not help but cast his gaze toward the Supreme Golden Body in the Main Hall.

"A secret that even the Abbot does not know?"

"It seems the plan on the side of the Chiyuan Immortal Sect is even more secretive than that of the Great Golden Light Temple."

"But that is correct; if one wants to defeat the strong with the weak, one cannot hope to succeed without being able to catch them off guard."

Saying this.

Su Ping looked at the young Abbot and suddenly said:

"Since this method of the Great Golden Light Temple has already failed,"

"Why does the Abbot not leave?"

"Leave?"

The young Abbot was taken aback, then laughed:

"The Supreme Golden Body is still here, so this monk cannot leave."

"Otherwise, if Tian Rulai has an excuse for breach of contract, this little bit of purification will be gone."

"Once the Supreme Golden Body is gone... this monk will not be able to leave anyway."

Su Ping knew this was because Tian Rulai would run off with the spoils of war, the Supreme Golden Body.

What would follow was the forced descent of the enraged evil god's main body, plus the Cultivation World's severance of this region.

With the abilities of the Abbot before him.

It was indeed impossible to escape.

However, he could not escape, but wasn't there still himself?

After realizing that the evil god's main body was nothing compared to the monsters in the Abyss Challenge.

Su Ping was full of confidence in the Teleportation Talisman produced by the Pot Heaven.

Furthermore, Su Ping had long had the urge to present a grand gift to the children of the evil god using the already purified ley lines.

He was very curious what interesting interactions would occur when they encountered greetings from the Abyss.

It was just a pity that the quality of the ley lines limited the difficulty selection.

As it stood, the highest difficulty for the ley lines in this region was only the Nightmare level, which was above Extreme Difficulty.

At most, it could summon a Sixth Stage Abyss monster, equivalent to the Return to Void Realm.

According to previous analysis, an existence of this realm was not enough to turn the inside of this Mother God upside down.

But this was also fine.

He could still obtain the rewards from the Abyss Challenge.

It was equivalent to obtaining rewards by crossing two major realms ahead of time.

No matter how one calculated it, it was not a loss!

Having figured this out, Su Ping solidified his intention to sit in the Main Hall and not leave.

So much so that the young Abbot, seeing Su Ping still refusing to leave even after the situation had been explained, wanted to speak several times but held back.

Until cracks suddenly appeared on the Tathagata Dharma Image of Tian Rulai in the sky.

The young Abbot's expression changed slightly as he spoke to Su Ping:

"Alliance Leader!"

"The time is almost up; to prevent any mishaps, please leave quickly!"

Su Ping revealed a smile; instead of leaving, he took out a cup of Spirit Tea and gave one to the young Abbot.

The young Abbot was about to urge him again, but upon seeing the Buddha Kingdom Golden Lotus Fruit in the Spirit Tea, he was slightly stunned.

"Abbot, let's be honest."

"I can wait until the final moment to take you away."

"You are, after all, the Abbot of the Great Golden Light Temple; you wouldn't want the disciples of the Nanhuang Qundao to be left without a master, would you?"

"Amitabha!"

Hearing this, the young Abbot looked at Su Ping earnestly.

After a pause, the young Abbot pressed his palms together and bowed to Su Ping, saying:

"This poor monk... owes the Alliance Leader a debt of gratitude for saving my life!"

Seeing the Abbot agree, Su Ping began to laugh.

This Abbot of the Great Golden Light Temple was a true powerhouse of the Cultivation World.

Furthermore, the other party could split into three, with one person doing the work of three.

Even if he were unwilling to go out and take action.

Staying in the Secret Realm would still provide immense assistance in various aspects!

Moreover, having this Abbot's favor.

It wouldn't matter if he looked through the heritage and foundations of the Great Golden Light Temple that they brought out, and incidentally made a copy of the unimportant parts to fill the Great Library, would it?
