Chapter 897

As the sword qi entered Mount Wuzhi, the mountain's suppressing power grew stronger.

In the future, to break Mount Wuzhi's seal, one must not only sever its connection to the primordial earth veins of the Earth Immortal Realm, but also face Saint Tongtian's sword qi.

Only a Saint or Luo Fu can withstand the sword qi slashed by Saint Tongtian.

After completing this, Saint Tongtian's figure flickered and vanished from his spot.

Settling accounts with Buddhism is merely an appetizer; the true grand drama has yet to begin.

Master Yuanshi and Saint Tongtian were the ones most eager to confront Buddhism.

As Saints, they were the first to confirm that Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin had perished.

Other great cultivators could not obtain further information from the Heavenly Dao and could only guess the identities of the fallen Saints by intuition.

Although most believed the two fallen Saints were Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin.

Yet, without definitive news, no one dared to strike first against Buddhism.

In truth, even if Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin's deaths were confirmed, none of the great cultivators dared to be the first to act.

Saints are immortal and indestructible; though Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin have perished, they may yet be resurrected.

Those who strike while the iron is hot will surely be settled when Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin return.

And the first to strike will be the one most hated by Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin.

Though in the current Three Realms, Saints cannot personally intervene, and great cultivators no longer fear them as they once did.

But being remembered by a Saint is never a good thing.

All the great cultivators were waiting.

Waiting for the first one to act.

Once someone struck first, the feast to divide Buddhism would fully begin.

Boom!

To everyone's surprise, the first to storm Bombarding Lingshan was not a major force from the Three Realms, but Sun Wukong.

"Bald monks, where's the inheritance Buddhism promised Old Monkey? You ain't trying to renege, are you!"

When the Saint-death phenomenon appeared, Sun Wukong immediately contacted Luo Fu to inquire about the details.

Upon learning that Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin had perished at Luo Fu's hands, Sun Wukong was plunged into deep shock.

Previously, Sun Wukong already knew Luo Fu was strong, but without a benchmark, he could not fathom just how strong Luo Fu truly was.

Now, knowing that even Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin together had perished at Luo Fu's hands, Sun Wukong finally understood just how strong Luo Fu was.

If Luo Fu could slay two Saints, he was at least a Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian, possibly even surpassed that realm.

After the shock came excitement.

Yes, excitement.

If before winning the bet had a 99.9% chance of changing his fate,

Now that Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin had perished at Luo Fu's hands, his fate was undeniably changed.

Since his fate was now irrevocably altered and his goal in the Western Journey had been achieved, Sun Wukong had planned to leave Xi Niu He Zhou immediately and return to Dong Sheng Shenzhou.

After Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin's deaths, Bombarding Lingshan would surely become a place of turmoil.

Sun Wukong was no fool—he could see that clearly.

But Niedehoge offered Sun Wukong a different proposal.

That was to storm Bombarding Lingshan and utterly exterminate Buddhism.

This would not only vent their anger, but also allow them to plunder Buddhism's heavenly treasures and earthly essences.

Niedehoge's goal was clearly the latter.

He had come to the Primordial World only once, and he hadn't eaten his fill yet.

With Buddhism in chaos now, it was an unparalleled opportunity.

As the number one power in the Three Realms, even if Buddhism were impoverished, it must have hoarded many treasures.

These treasures were all food Niedehoge coveted.

Sun Wukong was not particularly interested in heavenly treasures and earthly essences.

His main path was the Dao of War; such treasures had little use for him.

Yet, recalling the trials he endured in the original storyline, a surge of resentment rose in his heart.

Now that the chance had come, venting that resentment was worthwhile.

Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin had perished at Luo Fu's hands, and they were Luo Fu's subordinates.

Even if Bombarding Lingshan had become a place of turmoil, using Luo Fu's name to intimidate others, no one would dare harm them.

Say it, then act.

Without hesitation, Sun Wukong seized his Ruyi Jingu Bang and stormed Bombarding Lingshan.

After Sun Wukong stormed Bombarding Lingshan, the many forces of the Three Realms finally ceased their观望.

Countless factions began mobilizing troops and rushing toward Bombarding Lingshan.

As for Bombarding Lingshan, it had long since descended into utter chaos.

The deaths of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin had already left Buddhism in a state of panic.
