Chapter 255: Nüwa dumbfounded, Lu Ya enters the Buddhist Gate?!

Chen Ku's words were light, yet even in such utter chaos they rang like a thunderclap, falling into the ears of all beings.

Just that sentence caused another powerhouse attempting to seize the Kongdong Seal to scream and fall to the ground.

All beings stared, seeing that he had already lost all breath and perished then and there.

Previously, Chen Ku's words might not have been able to cow all beings.

However, looking around, vast expanses of blood rain burst open.

Looking again at Chen Ku, his gaze was cold and sharp as electricity, seeming like a killing god incarnate.

In an instant, the originally clamorous bell seemed to pause for a moment.

They understood Chen Ku's meaning.

He fundamentally had no intention of persuading all beings; he merely fixed his stare on the Kongdong Seal.

Whoever it was, anyone who touched the Kongdong Seal would provoke Chen Ku's violent strike, utterly annihilating them.

Ruthless man, few words!

In other words, to countless mighty powerhouses, the Kongdong Seal at this moment was no longer a rare great opportunity of the ages.

On the contrary, it had become an ominous object symbolizing death.

Gradually, the beings whose reason had been clouded by immense temptation slowly halted their forms.

In their gazes, clarity was also restored.

All beings looked at Chen Ku, terrified beyond measure, filled with dread.

"This... treasure may be fine, but you also need to have a life to enjoy it."

"This treasure is not something we can meddle with; I will no longer interfere."

At a certain moment, a powerhouse said thus.

Then, without hesitation, he turned and left.

With the first one, the remaining powerhouses also saw their aura greatly diminished.

"Damn it, whoever touches the Kongdong Seal dies!"

"What's there to fight over?!"

"Damn it, we were all bewitched by those earlier words, which led us to this foolish act."

"Whoever wants to grab it can grab it; I have no intention of contending for it."

The fervor faded, and all beings came to their senses one after another.

In a moment, one silhouette after another abruptly withdrew, all fleeing this place of right and wrong.

After just a short while, no one dared to covet the Kongdong Seal any longer.

On another side, the Three Pure Ones watched this scene, their faces showing disappointment.

Originally, they still wanted to see the beings erupt, to see how much of a headache Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others would have.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ku's methods turned out to be so harsh and decisive.

In just a few words, countless mighty ones were startled into retreat.

Everyone knows that Tongtian is the most decisive in slaughter.

But at this moment, looking at Chen Ku, Tongtian even felt a sense of self-reproach for being inferior.

After all, amidst that earlier chaos, not everyone could remain as clear-headed as Chen Ku and make the most suitable disposition.

"Hmph, let's go!"

With everything settled, Laozi simply turned a blind eye, unwilling to be bothered.

Having said that, he immediately flicked his sleeves and left with Yuanshi and Tongtian, returning to Kunlun Mountain.

All the turmoil gradually subsided.

Only then did Chen Ku finally smile with satisfaction.

No more words; he swept his wide sleeve, unleashing a mighty force, and at once took in the Kongdong Seal.

The instant the Kongdong Seal landed in his palm, a profound and mysterious sensation immediately arose in Chen Ku's heart.

That was the fluctuation of a spiritual treasure recognizing its master on its own.

Immediately afterward, the Kongdong Seal radiated divine light.

Vast as an abyss, the qi luck also surged forth suddenly, bestowing upon Chen Ku's person and descending into the Buddhist Gate.

In an instant, heavenly flowers fell wondrously, and auspicious light rose from the earth!

Vast expanses of auspicious, colorful divine radiance poured down, nourishing all of the West, magnificent and splendid.

Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others beheld this scene and could not help but lose themselves.

"Haha, excellent!"

"With the Kongdong Seal in hand, our Western qi luck is even greater."

"Surpassing the Eastern heavens and earth is now just a matter of time."

Zhunti laughed heartily, gazing at Chen Ku with full admiration, and said thus.

Jieyin also nodded repeatedly.

Who would have thought, upon hearing those words, Chen Ku shook his head as if regretting.

"Alas... suffering......"

"What a pity, the Taiji Diagram could not be retained!"

These words having been spoken,

Jieyin, Zhunti, and even Nüwa instantly were filled with black lines.

Taiji Diagram?!

Fine!

You little brat, you're really greedy.

In everyone's view, Chen Ku being able to block Laozi's attack earlier was already beyond expectation.

I never expected this brat to actually be thinking of keeping Laozi's Taiji Diagram.

Truly 'bold to the heavens'.

Jieyin and Zhunti shook their heads and chuckled, also knowing Chen Ku was doing this on purpose.

At this moment, the Three Pure Ones and countless mighty powerhouses had all departed.

But Nüwa did not rush to leave.

Everything having settled, she approached Chen Ku's side.

"Junior disciple, how is Lu Ya now?!"

Nüwa asked aloud.

Having promised Di Jun, she was quite concerned about whether Lu Ya had recovered.

Hearing this, Chen Ku was stunned.

"Hehe, Lu Ya is fine now."

"The spatial power within his body has also been completely resolved."

"Aunt Nüwa, you can come with us to Mount Sumeru to see for yourself."

Hearing this, Nüwa's face instantly showed joy.

At the same time, she couldn't help but marvel in her heart.

Indeed, it's Chen Ku.

Something that even saints could not handle, this brat actually managed so easily.

However, Nüwa did not notice the strange flicker in Chen Ku's eyes when he responded.

No more words, Nüwa immediately set off with Jieyin, Zhunti, Chen Ku and the others toward Mount Sumeru.

Between heaven and earth.

Although the battle at the Two Realms Mountain has ended.

But countless mighty powerhouses returned, and the voices of discussion and amazement still did not cease.

All beings either wore expressions of awe or harbored lingering fear.

"Haha, splendid, everything before was truly splendid."

"Saints suppressing their cultivation to fight non-saints, such a scene is truly unprecedented, shaking ancient and modern times."

"Exactly, who would have thought that saints suppressing their realm would not be a match for that Chen Ku."

"The foremost under the saints, indeed lives up to its reputation."

"Hey... the foremost under the saints?"

"Nowadays, saying Chen Ku is the sole non-saint who can rival a saint is probably more fitting."

Amazement!

Endless amazement echoed throughout every region and corner of heaven and earth.

In just a few short days, Chen Ku's name once again spread across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Whether quasi-saint mighty beings or Daluo strong ones.

Whenever Chen Ku is mentioned, it is an undeniable shock.

All beneath the saints are ants!

This saying is not merely about the suppression of cultivation realms.

Previously, in the understanding of all beings, even saints without using saintly power could crush everything beneath them.

But in this battle, Chen Ku, with his hegemonic, matchless strength, forcibly shattered that cognition of beings.

More accurately, before this, in the cognition of beings, Chen Ku, though strong, was still completely different from saints, or rather existed on a different level.

Thus came the title 'Foremost Under the Saints'.

But after this, Chen Ku's fame now rivals that of the present saints, yielding none.

What a glorious honor!

Of course.

The awe and admiration of all beings for Chen Ku grew ever stronger.

In Kunlun Mountain, the expressions of the Three Pure Ones grew ever uglier.

"Damn it, damn it!"

Laozi, impotent with fury, roared repeatedly, his face darker than ever before.

Saints exalted above, not to be offended, this is an eternal iron law.

Especially the Three Pure Ones, born as one entity, when the three great saints join forces, their might and reputation are even greater.

However, who would have thought that the Three Pure Ones would emerge together and personally enter the fray.

In the end, they actually ended up suffering a humiliating defeat, losing face completely.

Even without hearing the beings' discussion, Laozi could imagine how utterly disgraced the Three Pure Ones are now.

Hearing Laozi's roar, Yuanshi and Tongtian also had faces as still as water, full of indignant resentment.

"This matter is to blame on the third brother."

"If not for you proposing that so-called self-enforced saint cultivation."

"If we had directly taken action and fought a great battle with the West, the result might not have been like this."

Yuanshi did not sigh, yet said this, carrying some blame toward Tongtian.

Upon hearing this, Tongtian also wore an embarrassed expression.

He previously was merely overjoyed at the sight of prey.

Who could have imagined that Chen Ku's strength would be so terrifyingly extraordinary?

After a long while, Tongtian could only let out a soft sigh, speaking in a low voice:

"Chen Ku... is too strong!"

Having personally witnessed the previous battle, Tongtian asked himself, if it were him going up, the result probably wouldn't differ much.

As for Yuanshi and Tongtian's words, Laozi paid no heed.

Now everything has become settled, and the Kongtong Seal is also under Chen Ku's control.

Speaking of anything else is also useless.

After a moment, he finally calmed the anger in his heart.

Although the Kongtong Seal has fallen into Chen Ku's hands,

But... the human race's fortune cannot be completely controlled by him......

The Kongtong Seal inherently has the function of suppressing the human race's fortune.

If I do not think of a solution, then given time, the struggle for the human race's fortune will inevitably be crushed by Chen Ku.

Laozi then fell into silent contemplation, saying nothing.

In Kunlun Mountain, peace also returned.

Yet within that peace, a heavy sense of oppression already lingered.

Now speaking of the Western Heaven and Earth!

Nüwa followed Chen Ku and the others back into the Buddhist Sect.

Hehe, Nüwa, Senior Uncle-Master, please look.

That is Lu Ya.

Upon returning, Chen Ku pointed to a distant figure and said to Nüwa:

Hearing this, Nüwa's face showed a smile as she fixed her gaze.

But just that glance caused Nüwa's smile to suddenly freeze.

Her expression also instantly went blank, a look of bewilderment.

Immediately after, her astonishment turned into an expression of resentment.

Chen Ku, Junior Nephew-Disciple, what is this situation?!

Nüwa looked at Chen Ku as if questioning him!

The reason is none other than this!

At this moment, Lu Ya had come back to life, and moreover was vigorous and full of vibrant life force.

His cultivation as a Taiyi Golden Immortal had not been diminished either.

But...

All I could see was Lu Ya at that moment wearing a yellow Daoist robe, its golden light shining brilliantly, dazzling to the eye.

And atop his head, a large ushnisha appeared, like a begging-bowl flower.

Upon the ushnisha hung a wondrous, ineffable treasure vase, brimming with light, manifesting Buddhist affairs everywhere.

Lu Ya's former liveliness, or rather his feeling of bravery and combativeness, had long since vanished.

In his eyes, like an ancient well without ripples, lay an indescribable purity and tranquility.

Even, a faint immortal light flickered around his body, outlining swastika symbols.

Seeing Nüwa and the others approach, Lu Ya actually... put his palms together in a salute?!

Nüwa, as if struck by lightning, froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded.

This... this damn clearly is exactly the appearance of a Buddha.

Isn't it?!

You were supposed to save people.

You have directly converted Lu Ya?!

This result completely exceeded Nüwa's expectations.

No wonder Nüwa's face showed resentment as she questioned Chen Ku.

Moreover, let alone Nüwa.

Jieyin and Zhunti, who came together, also stared at each other, utterly bewildered.

They had not been paying attention all along, so they also did not know that Lu Ya had become like this.

All right!

Chen Ku had said before that Lu Ya was merely spoiled by indulgence, and with a little change he would not be an utterly wicked villain.

This is exactly the change Chen Ku spoke of.

However, facing Nüwa's questioning, Chen Ku shrugged his shoulders, putting on an innocent look.

Nüwa, Senior Uncle-Master, this cannot be blamed on the junior.

After I saved Lu Ya, I also nurtured him with the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

However, after he awoke, feeling the profundity of our Buddhist Sect's Dao, he was completely convinced.

After he repeatedly sought the Dao, I had no choice but to transmit to him the Great Sun Tathagata True Scripture.

Chen Ku calmly recounted, telling Nüwa everything.

But upon hearing Chen Ku's words, Nüwa could not help but her lips tremble slightly.

Convinced by the Buddhist Dharma?!

Helplessly, only then did I transmit the Dharma to Lu Ya?!

Listen!

You say this—who would believe it?!

Nüwa was completely dumbfounded.

And just as she felt speechless, in that silent moment.

Only then did one see Lu Ya on the other side, already stepping with Buddhist lotus steps, walking up to Chen Ku and Nüwa.

"Senior Chen Ku, please accept me as your disciple."

"Please teach me more profound Buddhist methods!"

Lu Ya performed a deeply respectful salute, saying thus.

Nüwa:???

At this moment, Nüwa almost felt the urge to faint right there.

You still claim you didn't convert Lu Ya?!

This damn... as a prince of the Demon Race, he's now obsessed with Buddhist teachings, even kneeling to ask to become a disciple?!

Even now, Nüwa remained immersed in great shock, unable to react.

However, grumbling is just grumbling.

Seeing Lu Ya so devoutly seeking a teacher and the Dharma, it's clear he still has his own will.

Therefore, this is not what Nüwa had previously thought—that Lu Ya had been forcibly converted.

But Chen Ku beside her, however, responded:

"Lu Ya, I've already said—I have no intention of taking disciples."

"And I won't teach you any more Buddhist methods."

After his words fell, Chen Ku turned his gaze to Nüwa.

In his gaze lay a sense of "really not my fault".

Silence!

The field was filled with a deathlike silence!

Only after a long while did Nüwa finally react.

"You..."

One cannot blame Chen Ku.

Nüwa also had to look at Lu Ya, her beautiful eyes full of exasperation—"hating iron for not becoming steel".

Furious!

Nüwa really is about to die of anger!

If this is taken back, how will I explain it to Di Jun?!

After all, I had promised Di Jun that I would save Lu Ya.

Could it be that I now have to say, the exalted prince of the Demon Race has already turned to the Buddhist sect?!

If Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others heard this news, wouldn't they spurt a mouthful of old blood from anger?!

Numb!

Totally numb!
