Chapter 797: Devour the Five Buddha-lands! The Curses of Billions of Believers

With the reinforcement of the Space Dao, Sun Wukong, the White Dragon Horse, and others' attacks were no longer inferior to ordinary Semi-Saints.

For a Semi-Saint, destroying a medium-sized world was not a particularly difficult task.

Shua!

In the instant the Buddha-land shattered, tens of thousands of Jingtian Divine Pearls simultaneously erupted with terrifying devouring power, swallowing the still-unexploded Buddha-land whole.

As for the believers within the Buddha-land, they had already been purified and absorbed by the Jingtian Divine Pearls long before the Two Western Saints activated the Nine-Petaled Golden Lotus and the Seven Treasures Holy Tree.

The absorption of the Five Buddha-lands signaled one thing: the Two Western Saints' three thousand Buddha-lands were being dismantled by Luo Fu.

Seeing this, all the great transcendents of the Three Realms fell silent.

This journey to the West wager had produced far too many unexpected turns.

At the beginning, when Sun Wukong, the White Dragon Horse, and others unleashed their full power, all the great transcendents believed Buddhism had already lost.

But just as Sun Wukong, the White Dragon Horse, and others cut through everything like slicing melons and vegetables, entering the Western Continent of Cattle, Buddhism suddenly unveiled its ultimate weapon: the Three Thousand Buddha-lands.

As the Three Thousand Buddha-lands descended en masse, blocking Sun Wukong, the White Dragon Horse, and others' path, all the great transcendents felt Buddhism had acted shamelessly.

They also believed Buddhism had successfully reversed the outcome of the journey through this shameless tactic and won the wager.

With the Three Thousand Buddha-lands as their backing, the great transcendents all believed Buddhism had already won.

At this moment, Sun Wukong pulled out the Jingtian Divine Pearls.

The seemingly insignificant Jingtian Divine Pearls seized a flaw in the Three Thousand Buddha-lands and successfully tore off a corner of them.

If the current situation continued, it seemed Luo Fu would ultimately win the wager.

After all, anyone with eyes could see the Three Thousand Buddha-lands could not overcome tens of thousands of Jingtian Divine Pearls, while the Jingtian Divine Pearls could suppress the Three Thousand Buddha-lands and increase their own numbers by devouring them.

Yet this time, the many great transcendents of the Three Realms dared not make any hasty conclusions.

Because they were unsure whether the current situation might still change.

"Do you Buddhism still have any tricks left? If not, I'll gladly accept these three thousand Buddha-lands."

After the Two Western Saints had used their Saintly magic treasures yet still been suppressed by the Jingtian Divine Pearls, Luo Fu turned again to Daoist Randeng, using words to further provoke him.

Of course, what Luo Fu truly wished to provoke was the Two Western Saints behind Daoist Randeng.

His goal was not the wager at all.

Compared to the wager, Luo Fu hoped the Two Western Saints would be provoked by his actions into attacking him without restraint.

"Amitabha! Your Daoist skill is impressive, Venerable Monk pays homage. But do not underestimate the Wufu Sect—the outcome is not yet decided; do not rejoice too soon."

Daoist Randeng chanted the Buddha's name, his expression blank, seemingly unmoved by Luo Fu's words.

"Is that so? Then I shall wait and see what other tricks your Buddhism has."

As he spoke, Luo Fu began to commune with the Chaos Pearl, seeking to give the Two Western Saints further provocation—to force them to reveal all their remaining techniques, then dismantle them one by one, ultimately compelling the Two Western Saints to act personally.

At Luo Fu's will, the tens of thousands of Jingtian Divine Pearls hovering above the Three Thousand Buddha-lands began to change.

First to change was the speed and quantity of new Jingtian Divine Pearls forming.

After fully devouring the Five Buddha-lands, the newly formed Jingtian Divine Pearls numbered over ten thousand.

Combined with the previously increased Jingtian Divine Pearls, the total number had grown by fifteen thousand through the devouring of Buddha-lands.

Tens of thousands of Jingtian Divine Pearls had already been enough to suppress the Three Thousand Buddha-lands; now their numbers had increased by several tens of percent, while the Three Thousand Buddha-lands had lost five.

The Three Thousand Buddha-lands would inevitably be suppressed even more severely.

Moreover, as the Five Buddha-lands were devoured, the void portals behind the Jingtian Divine Pearls began to coalesce faint, shimmering shadows.

These shadows were unmistakably miniature versions of Buddha-lands.

Within these miniature Buddha-lands, the believers absorbed by the void portals were distributed throughout, devoutly praying.

No—it should not be called prayer; it was cursing.

These believers, just as they had once prayed, now devoutly chanted curses.

Their target of cursing was Buddhism itself.

The mental power generated by these curses was absorbed by the world they inhabited, ultimately reinforcing the Jingtian Divine Pearls.

Not only faith, but all seven emotions and six desires of sentient beings could be transformed into power.

Yet the power of the seven emotions and six desires was far too chaotic; one misstep could corrupt the Dao heart, so ordinary cultivators dared not use it.

Compared to the power of the seven emotions and six desires, faith power was far purer—only minor impurities needed refining before it could be utilized.

Just because ordinary cultivators could not use the power of the seven emotions and six desires did not mean Luo Fu could not.

Luo Fu had also cultivated the Dao related to the seven emotions and six desires.

Thus, for Luo Fu, the mental power generated by sentient beings' seven emotions and six desires was as usable as faith power.

Of course, given Luo Fu's depth and accumulation, neither the seven emotions and six desires nor faith power offered him much benefit.

To truly aid Luo Fu, every sentient being in the Primordial World would need to believe in him.

Making every sentient being in the Primordial World believe in one person—this he could not accomplish with his current strength.

Above all sentient beings of the Primordial World stood Ancestor Hongjun.

Forcing every sentient being in the Primordial World to believe in a single individual would be a direct provocation to the Dao Ancestor.

If Luo Fu dared to do so, he would inevitably awaken Ancestor Hongjun.
