Chapter 618: Anlan Rises, Xuanzang Slaps Anlan Again

Chat Group.

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "I have savored the stories in Journey to the West many times, and discovered many suspicious points within them. Although the world of Holy Monk Xuanzang has changed greatly now, the essence remains the same despite all transformations."

Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction: "As expected of you, the future Han Daozu, your mind is truly agile."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "So, to put it plainly, it means Buddhism will stir up trouble and will not let the matter rest."

Immortal King Anlan: "Hmph, if Buddhism dares to stir up trouble, I, this Immortal King, will be the first to disagree; I will poke them to death with a spear."

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Yo yo, An Lao Liu, so you have risen?"

Diviner: "I am just afraid that the Buddha will directly convert all of you in the Foreign Realm; that would be a great Merit."

Immortal King Anlan: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "An Lao Liu, you are underestimating Buddhism. Kong Xuan, known as the greatest under the Saints, possesses unparalleled combat power; was he not also converted by the West? There are also many members of the Jie Sect."

"An Lao Liu, although your cultivation is not low, how do you compare to Kong Xuan, the son of Yuanfeng?"

Immortal King Anlan: "No panic, I have Xuan Ge."

Scripture Seeker of Journey to the West: "Ahem, I am actually quite looking forward to seeing An Lao Liu being purified by Buddhist Dharma."

Immortal King Anlan: "No way... Xuan Ge. You are making me very sad like this?"

Scripture Seeker of Journey to the West: "Are you teaching me how to do things? Do you believe I will slap you?"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Xuan Ge is mighty!"

Girl Ruthless: "..."

Immortal King Anlan: "I believe, I believe. But Xuan Ge, as long as you haven't come to my world, you cannot slap me. If you have the ability, don't come over; just slap me from your own world, hehe."

Anlan learned to be smart this time, fearing that Xuanzang would strike through the internet cable and give him a lesson of love.

However, no matter how powerful Xuanzang is, as long as his true body does not descend, he is not afraid at all.

Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction: "When it comes to being a Diliu, Immortal King Anlan is still very wise."

Demon Queen: "If he doesn't descend, how could Xuanzang possibly slap An Lao Liu from his own world? This is impossible, right?"

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "It is indeed impossible; the difficulty is too great. Although we can go to the worlds of group members with the help of the Crossing Crystal, the heavens and myriad worlds are as vast as the sands, infinite and endless."

Diviner: "Hmm, that is indeed the case."

Sword Deity of Spring and Autumn: "That would truly be a fantasy; it is hard to imagine what kind of ability could achieve that."

Wudang Old Immortal: "This old Daoist will just watch quietly."

Scripture Seeker of Journey to the West: "It is indeed difficult."

Immortal King Anlan: "Hehe."

Scripture Seeker of Journey to the West: "But it is not impossible."

As these words fell, Xuanzang, who was in the Journey to the West World, suddenly waved his palm, which looked plain and unremarkable, without anything special.

But if there were supreme Great Abilities present, they would feel intense fluctuations in time and space.

Xuanzang's palm had clearly only moved a distance of three feet, yet it traversed endless time and space, broke through layers of space, and escaped the Heavenly Dao constraints of this world.

At the same time, Anlan, who was in seclusion in the Foreign Realm Imperial City, suddenly felt a chill down his spine and his hair stand on end.

It seemed as if a great terror was about to descend, and there was nowhere to escape!

"Damn, what is going on? How can there still be an existence in this world that makes me fearful? It makes no sense; even the Quasi-Immortal Emperors in the Boundary Sea are sleeping at this time, and I am already invincible in the world," Anlan muttered to himself.

His cultivation is that of an Emperor Light Immortal King, only half a step away from a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

This cultivation, not counting Quasi-Immortal Emperors, is indeed currently invincible.

Powerhouses from ancient times such as Tu Fu, the chicken raiser, the fake medicine seller, the master of the Burial Earth, and Liu Shen, none of them had reached their peak periods.

Just as Anlan was puzzled, the power of time and space emerged in the Void, and strands of mysterious power condensed continuously; in the blink of an eye, it turned into a palm as white and jade-like as could be in his eyes.

"A palm?" Anlan was even more puzzled; whose palm was this?

He did not think of Xuanzang, because if Xuanzang arrived, it would definitely be his true body.

Slap!

That jade-white palm appeared out of thin air in front of his mouth and, to his dumbfounded shock, suddenly struck down.

Hiss!

Anlan, as an Undying King, gasped; this slap did not deal much damage, but it was extremely insulting.

With a thought, the heavens and earth immediately cracked, dark clouds pressed down, and boundless anger mixed with imperial might made the entire Buxiu Dicheng tremble.

Anlan reached out a hand to grab it, attempting to crush the palm, but no matter how his great power struck it.

This mysterious palm stood in mid-air, as if untouched by all laws, immune to all damage, and was not affected in the slightest.

Slap!

The mysterious palm appeared again out of thin air three millimeters in front of Anlan's face and fell in his horrified gaze.

"Ah!"

"Who is it, how dare you insult me!"

"Chifeng Spear, Immortal Shield, kill all Immortal Kings and destroy the Nine Heavens!"

Slap!

Another slap, and a calm voice landed in Anlan's mind.

"Why are you yelling? Wasn't it you, this Diliu, who asked me to slap you?"

"??"

Anlan's pupils dilated; this voice sounded so familiar, wasn't it Holy Monk Xuanzang's?

"Xuan Ge?" Anlan said tentatively, his voice trembling.

"It is me, are you convinced?"

The mysterious palm swayed in the air, its surface emitting a faint luster.

Anlan's heart surged with monstrous waves; it really was his Xuan Ge.

Had Xuan Ge's strength truly become this terrifying now? Across endless space-time, he didn't even need his true body to descend, simply sending a pair of slaps directly to his door without needing a Crossing Crystal—it was absurdly terrifying.

He had thought that through his day-and-night diligent cultivation, his cultivation base had reached the realm of Emperor Light Immortal King, narrowing the gap with Xuanzang, and perhaps in the future, he would even surpass him, allowing him to turn the tables and beat Xuanzang to wash away his past shame.

But looking at it now, where was the gap narrowing? On the contrary, it was growing wider; at least before, he could still see his back and trade a few blows, but now, he couldn't even see his back.

Great Luo Golden Immortal, to be this terrifying.

"I surrender, Xuan Ge, I truly surrender! You should just withdraw your divine ability; do you have any idea how much psychological trauma your two slaps have caused this child who has lived for a million years?"

Anlan said weakly, no longer possessing the demeanor of that Undying King of the Foreign Realm, unable to stand tall at all.

"Hmm."

The mysterious palm replied indifferently, then merged into space-time and dissipated.

Seeing this scene, Anlan finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

Chat Group.

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "An Lao Liu, why did you stop talking?"

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Intuition tells me something happened."

Na Du Tong Backbone Feng Baobao: "Eating melon?"

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "Is there a possibility that Han suspects Xuanzang Sheng Seng really just slapped Immortal King Anlan across space-time?"

Immortal King Anlan: "Fellow Daoist Han, you are very right, don't say it next time."

Demon Queen: "It really is! What happened?"

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Hurry up and tell us."

Immortal King Anlan: "Don't disbelieve me when I say this, Xuan Ge's divine ability is becoming increasingly terrifying; sitting at home, the slaps descend from the sky—you tell me if I'm wronged."

Anlan recounted it concisely, his words filled with grievance.

Scripture Seeker of Journey to the West: "This cannot be blamed on me; everyone knows I like peace the most. An Lao Liu insisted on me slapping him; I have never heard such a rude request, I could only satisfy him."

Immortal King Anlan: "Xuan Ge, I was just running my mouth. How would I dare offend you."

He had thought that after thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, but now Anlan had completely abandoned the thought of surpassing Xuanzang; this wasn't a matter of a gap, it was simply hopeless.

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Awesome! Xuan Ge, you are too powerful, slapping An Lao Liu across space-time; how great of a divine ability must this be? Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal shouldn't be this absurd, right?"

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "If I possessed this divine ability, in the world of showing off, who could fight me!"

Diviner: "Powerful!"

While Yan Shuangying was shocked, she also felt herself trembling.

If Xuanzang was already this absurd, then what about her identity?

Xuanzang could beat Anlan across worlds, so he could beat her too.

Sword Deity of Spring and Autumn: "Powerful, what kind of great power must this be."

Sword of Renjian: "Unheard of, unseen."

Pope of Spirit Hall: "Sister Qing'er, can you do this?"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Yeah, Big Boss Qing'er, you are also a Great Luo Golden Immortal, can you beat someone across worlds?"

Sword Immortal Qing'er: "If it were in my own universe, no matter how far apart, how many light-years! My sword could behead the opponent. But now the members' worlds belong to different universes; even I cannot cross endless space-time to pinpoint a location. Houtu, what about you?"

Qing'er then asked the Ancestral Mo Nv Houtu, who was also a Great Luo and even stronger?

Ancestral Mo Nv Houtu: "I cannot do it for now; it involves abilities like the Primordial Spirit, which the Mo Nv Clan is not skilled in."

Demon Queen: "So that means Xuanzang, did you use a cheat?"

Scripture Seeker of Journey to the West: "? I don't think so; ever since I advanced to Great Luo Golden Immortal, it was like a flash of inspiration, and the divine ability appeared naturally. I was just trying it out earlier. However, Qing'er, if even Houtu cannot do it, I also suspect whether I am using a cheat."

On this point, Xuanzang was not lying. After advancing to Great Luo Golden Immortal, his vision, thinking, and comprehension had changed; some obscure divine abilities and Laws naturally poured into his body.

Moreover, his strength had transformed to an incomprehensible level; he didn't even know where his current limit was.

Although he had not reached the realm of a Saint, below the Saint, there was nothing to fear.

If there was truly a reason, it might be related to the Mysterious Ancient Scroll technique gifted by Houtu in the Underworld previously.

That Mysterious Ancient Scroll was extremely obscure, containing only tens of thousands of characters from an unknown era and some ancient drawings.

Especially those characters, they simply could not be read or understood.

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "I'm so envious my scalp is numb, I also want to use a cheat, Xuan Ge."

Scripture Seeker of Journey to the West: "Ye Hei, work hard, be down-to-earth, and lay a solid foundation; only then can you reach a higher realm and see higher scenery."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Sigh, listening to Xuan Ge."

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Xuanzang's skill is indeed very heaven-defying and perverted. Brother Xuanzang, my butt hurts a little, why don't you treat it for me."

Scripture Seeker of Journey to the West: "???"

Love Drinking Beast Milk the Most: "?? Wahahaha!"

Sword Deity of Spring and Autumn: "This old man thinks it is very absurd!"

Bad Commander: "Cough cough cough, this commander saw through everything long ago."

Demon Queen: "Although I, the Queen, can be perverted at times, Wang Wu, you are always perverted; what is going on in your brain?"

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Cough cough, just joking."

Pope of Spirit Hall: "Brother Xuanzang, make her butt blossom."

Little Fairy of Peach Blossom Island: "Yes, yes, yes!"

First Strange Woman of the Yin-Yang School: "Seconded!"

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "I couldn't ask for more, this Sword Immortal is even more excited and thrilled."

Scripture Seeker of Journey to the West: "..., I have never heard such a perverted request, truly a boundless Heavenly Venerable DJ."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Haha!"

……

Foreign Realm, ages ago, Buxiu Dicheng.

Anlan looked at the heroic and extraordinary face with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes in the mirror and said, "It is fortunate that Xuan Ge did not strike heavily, otherwise my face would have been disfigured."

"Sigh, as I am now, apart from this handsome Skin, it seems there is nothing I can compare to Xuan Ge."

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a sound rang in Anlan's ears again, and upon hearing it, he instantly left his place of seclusion.

At the peak of the firmament, Anlan's figure appeared out of thin air; before him stood a middle-aged man dressed like a Confucian scholar, handsome in appearance, though his eye sockets were dark, making him look somewhat drained.

This was none other than Yu Tuo, another Undying King of the Foreign Realm and Anlan's close friend.

Who could have imagined that the executioner who would later nearly destroy the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and slaughter all living things would look like this?

"Yu Tuo, why have you come to my place?" Anlan asked.

Yu Tuo scrutinized Anlan carefully and discovered that in just a thousand years, his realm had become unfathomable, even exerting a great sense of oppression upon him.

This was still with Anlan deliberately suppressing it; an Emperor Light Immortal King is the pinnacle among Immortal Kings, just one step away from being a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Yu Tuo was only at the realm of an Immortal King Giant, so he naturally felt the suppression.

"It seems your cultivation has progressed tremendously during this time, Anlan. This is even better; in the upcoming decisive battle against the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, our chances of victory will be even greater, although we were already stronger than the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to begin with," Yu Tuo said.

Anlan felt a shiver in his heart; this day was finally coming, and he said, "Yu Tuo, is the final decisive battle beginning?"

"Yes, led by Immortal King Kundi, Chi Wang, the Fallen Immortal King, the Wushang Immortal King, the Dark Phoenix Immortal King, the Insect King, the Heilong King, and Immortal Kings from other forces have gathered to attack the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths together," Yu Tuo said.

In this battle, the Foreign Realm alone was dispatching nearly one hundred Immortal Kings, while the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths could not even field fifty.

As for the Immortal Domain? There was no need to worry at all; the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Domain were arrogant and calculating, thinking only of reaping the benefits, and it was impossible for them to cooperate with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

If it were the former Anlan, he would certainly have been the first to charge to the front, slaughtering all living things and destroying the heavens and the earth without batting an eye.

But after becoming a member of the Chat Group and dealing with Diliu every day, he no longer had such a great desire to kill.

"At that time, I wonder how many sons of the Foreign Realm will die," Anlan sighed.

"Everything is for the eternal great cause of the Foreign Realm, so what if there are sacrifices? Besides, for the creatures of Darkness in the Foreign Realm, there is no true death; nourished by this land of Darkness, they will sooner or later be resurrected."

"Anlan, how have you become so sentimental? Are you still the close friend I knew?" Yu Tuo said.

"Yes, I always have been."

Anlan said affirmatively with his mouth, but in his heart, he thought:

"Sigh, this is the trouble of having read the Script. Fighting and killing and such have no meaning."
