Chapter 926: The Holy Might Vast! The Cheapened Authority of the Dao!

Under the circumstances where the Primordial Spiritual Treasures and the Three Thousand Buddha Realms were all lost, the strongest means available to Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin was the Supreme Golden Body.

The Supreme Golden Body had been refined by Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin for countless eons, its power not inferior to ordinary Primordial Spiritual Treasures.

A Golden Body towering billions of zhang high appeared in the Heavenly Beyond, unleashing boundless golden light that bathed more than half of the Heavenly Beyond in gold.

The vast heavenly authority of the Supreme Golden Body radiated without concealment.

The celestial deities and immortals swept by the golden light felt their entire bodies freeze, as if crushed beneath a great mountain, their magic power and consciousness momentarily paralyzed.

After recovering from the paralysis, every immortal and deity's eyes flickered with a trace of terror.

At this moment, they truly understood the terrifying nature of the Saints.

Many immortals and deities flickered with relief, grateful they had endured a little longer and had not immediately moved to carve up the Daolefu Sect.

Otherwise, under the Saintly pressure, they would by now have been reduced to ashes.

The scattered immortals and deities who had just questioned Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin now showed fear, worrying whether Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin would hold them accountable for their earlier words.

Due to Ancestor Hongjun's prohibition, the Saints had not personally intervened for many aeons.

Thus, many immortals and deities had never directly experienced the Saints' might.

Pressed by the overwhelming heavenly authority radiated by Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin, the celestial deities and immortals finally understood the meaning of that phrase.

Below the Saints, all are ants.

Even against the crushing heavenly authority, a Saint-level cultivator was merely a slightly stronger ant.

The reactions of the celestial deities and immortals were all seen by Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin.

Seeing fear flicker in the eyes of most immortals and deities, Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin glimpsed satisfaction in their depths.

The reason the golden light from the Supreme Golden Body illuminated more than half of the Heavenly Beyond and even spread to the Three Realms was entirely deliberate, orchestrated by Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin.

Their purpose was to intimidate the celestial deities and immortals.

Although for certain reasons, Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin had been resurrected by Ancestor Hongjun immediately after their demise,

Their deaths still severely undermined Buddhism's standing in the Three Realms.

After this, Buddhism's status would surely plummet a thousandfold within the Three Realms.

Most importantly, due to their deaths, the three thousand Buddha Realms accumulated over countless eons had all fallen into Luo Fu's hands.

The countless Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Luo Han accumulated over millennia had all been reduced to kindling.

Today, Buddhism's foundation has been nearly erased; those above the Saint-level are few enough to count on one hand, and even the number of Luo Jinxian likely does not exceed three hundred.

Compared to Buddhism's peak, it is less than a fraction of its former self.

Buddhism became the foremost power in the Three Realms not only because of the two Saints, but also due to the endless stream of powerful cultivators.

Having lost the foundation of the Three Thousand Buddha Realms, Buddhism could no longer remain the foremost power in the Three Realms.

Failing to retain the throne of the Three Realms' top power meant Buddhism must surrender the vast majority of its resources for other factions to carve up.

Even with Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin resurrected, they could not stop this.

Their resurrection merely made the carving-up of Buddhism by the Three Realms' powers less direct and brutal than before.

Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin spread their Saintly might across the celestial deities and immortals to instill greater reverence toward Buddhism, thereby slowing the pace of its dismemberment.

Seeing their goal achieved, Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin dispelled their distractions and focused all their attention on Wu Fa and Wu Tian.

For them, the most urgent matter now was to eliminate Wu Fa and Wu Tian as quickly as possible.

Even settling accounts with Luo Fu had been temporarily cast aside by Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin.

Within the Primordial World, where they could harness the Dao's power, even Luo Fu—who had forced them to suicide—they were confident they could suppress, let alone Wu Fa and Wu Tian, who merely replicated their bodies and magic power.

"Demons, how dare you impersonate Saints? Today, we shall make you understand: the Saints are not to be defiled."

Locking their minds onto Wu Fa and Wu Tian, Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin spoke as they commanded the Supreme Golden Body behind them.

Two colossal palms, blotting out heaven and earth, slammed down toward Wu Fa and Wu Tian.

Empowered by the Dao's force, the two giant Buddha palms seemed to contain the entire Primordial World's might; all who faced them instantly felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

Within the Primordial World, the combined power of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin, channeling the Dao's force, was sufficient to suppress anyone below the Saint level.

Even Ancestor Minghe, facing the Saints' might, would be crushed if he did not retreat into the Netherblood Sea.

In Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin's eyes, Wu Fa and Wu Tian had only one fate: to be forcibly suppressed by them.

Unfortunately, Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin's assumptions were wrong.
