Chapter 208: Supreme Divine Treasury

"What! This shameless bastard is truly damnable! The duel that belonged to him, yet he let me step into the arena."

Qingyi's willow-leaf brows stood on end, her expression showing considerable astonishment.

Xiaohuang, Heizi, and Xiyao were also quite surprised, and then Xiaohuang stepped forward, cupped her hands in a salute, and said, "Master, let me do it instead!"

"No..., she will be the one. My wife has a duty, and as my wife, she should make some contribution." Mengchen looked at Xiaohuang, chuckled, and waved his hand.

"You..." Qingyi clenched her small hands into fists, wishing she could beat this detestable fellow to death right before her eyes.

Others would give anything to be a protector of flowers, but he was different; facing two Heavenly God powerhouses, he actually pushed her to the front. He was truly damnable.

"Brat! You actually let a woman enter the arena; are you afraid of death? Don't worry, I will leave you with one breath. Feel free to come up!" Jinmao Shizi's tone was filled with contempt.

Hearing this, Mengchen sneered and replied, "Heh..., I am afraid of death! But what I fear is beating a loud-mouthed fellow like you to death, so I'll let my wife handle you! My wife is pure and clean, with the heart of a Bodhisattva; naturally, she won't beat you to death."

Jinmao Shizi's fur stood on end the moment he heard this.

"Ah... what did you say? How dare you look down on me like this! You've truly infuriated me. Brat, you will definitely pay the price."

"Fellow Daoist! You are arrogant! My mount is not weak." The Western Sect Buddha Son looked toward Mengchen and said.

Immediately, his figure, which had been sitting cross-legged on the back of Jinmao Shizi, slowly rose into mid-air, radiating a sacred halo. A holy lotus flower slowly emerged beneath him, and he said, "Very well! You may go!"

"Yes! My Lord!"

Jinmao Shizi bowed his head, then turned around, stared straight at Mengchen, and said coldly, "Ignorant brat, you are truly damnable!"

"Swoosh..."

In an instant, it transformed into a streak of golden light and lunged forward. A fierce and violent aura spread boundlessly, and a sharp, massive palm struck directly toward Mengchen.

Seeing this, Qingyi hurriedly retreated a few steps, then turned up her nose at Mengchen and said, "You caused this trouble, solve it yourself; don't drag me into it."

"Truly unreliable!" Mengchen saw this and shook his head deeply.

He then turned around slowly, looked at the lunging Jinmao Shizi, and said, "Truly, the ignorant are fearless!"

As he spoke, Mengchen's entire body glowed with brilliant, dazzling light. Eleven Cave Heavens emerged one after another, blooming with boundless radiance behind him.

He slowly raised his arm, and the moment Jinmao Shizi lunged before his eyes, he suddenly activated the power of his Cave Heavens, freezing the surrounding space and time.

"Boom!"

Following that, he struck the body of Jinmao Shizi with one palm, sending it flying back to the side of the Western Sect Buddha Son.

With this strike, Mengchen did not use a killing move; it could be said he merely sent it back to its original place without injuring it.

This was the result of Mengchen's careful deliberation. Now that he was in the territory of the Western Sect, and with two Heavenly Gods in the void who only followed the lead of this Western Sect Buddha Son, he really could not go too far. After all, one must consider the master before beating the dog; it was best to escape this predicament safely.

However, Mengchen's strike caused the Buddha Son's calm, water-like aura to fluctuate slightly.

"Fellow Daoist is not simple!" He began to scrutinize Mengchen closely.

"Brat, what kind of demonic art did you just use!" Jinmao Shizi was extremely astonished and roared at Mengchen.

Hearing this, the Buddha Son reprimanded, "Step down! If it weren't for the Fellow Daoist showing mercy, you would already be dead."

Once these words were spoken, Jinmao Shizi's eyes drooped, and he retreated to the side, treading carefully, not daring to utter another word.

"May I ask how to address you, Fellow Daoist?" The Buddha Son looked at Mengchen and asked, his attitude much more amiable.

Mengchen replied, "A nameless nobody, truly unworthy of being known to the Western Sect Buddha Son. Your mount has already been defeated; may we leave now?"

"That is only natural!" said the Buddha Son.

"Farewell!" Mengchen cupped his hands, turned around, and prepared to bypass the black mountain masses before them.

Although there might be great opportunities within the Ancient Palace atop these black mountains, with Heavenly Gods present, he feared he had no fate with them.

If he were to rashly get involved, he would surely place himself in danger. It was better to leave quietly; being able to depart safely from under the hands of Heavenly Gods was already a great blessing.

"Fellow Daoist, wait. This Ancient Palace before us is the first you have encountered; do you not wish to explore it?"

Watching Mengchen and the others leaving without looking back, the Buddha Son called out.

Hearing the Buddha Son's words, the two Heavenly Gods in the void also shifted their gazes toward the Ancient Palace with expressions of envy.

Although they had noticed the Ancient Palace long ago, because the Western Sect Buddha Son was present, they dared not harbor covetous thoughts, let alone show greed.

"No, with the Buddha Son and the two Heavenly Gods here, we still have enough self-awareness," Mengchen turned around, looked at the Buddha Son, and said with a chuckle.

"That is truly a pity," the Buddha Son said, shaking his head slightly.

He then pondered for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist! I see your strength is extraordinary, and I would very much like to exchange a move with you. Would you be willing to grant this wish?"

"Let's not! Lest we damage the slight harmony of our first meeting," Mengchen politely declined.

The Buddha Son said, "Fellow Daoist is perhaps being a bit too sensitive. This Buddha Son is not so narrow-minded; this exchange will simply be meeting a friend through martial arts."

"Very well! It is agreed: just one move. After one move, regardless of success or failure, we are to leave, and you must not speak to obstruct us again." Mengchen felt helpless; with two Heavenly Gods present, it was not good to reject the Buddha Son's face.

"Agreed!" The Western Sect Buddha Son nodded.

As he spoke, his cross-legged body slowly stood up. He was straight-backed, dressed in white, and quite ethereal, while the sacred halo behind him became even more brilliant.

He formed strange hand seals, the sacred aura on his body becoming increasingly solid, and sacred, brilliant Runes reflected outward. Finally, the sacred aura and the Runes merged and shot straight into the sky, shattering the drifting clouds on the horizon.

"Boom..., Crack!"

In that instant, the horizon became dazzlingly bright, golden light covered the world, and golden lightning intertwined, crackling and exploding.

The sacred aura and Runes that shot into the sky gathered and took shape. A massive Golden Body Dharma Image began to appear, flickering in and out of existence, becoming more complete step by step. Finally, a massive Golden Body Dharma Image appeared in its entirety, and the Western Sect Buddha Son leaped up, merging into one with it.

"Hum hum..."

A sacred, resonant, and powerful sound emanated from the Golden Body Dharma Image, as if it were chanting a mysterious Ancient Scripture, shaking one's heart.

"This is the Western Sect's sect-protecting divine ability, the Golden Body Dharma Image! Its power is truly world-shaking!" High in the sky, the Lao Pixiu exclaimed in shock.

"As expected of the Buddha Son! To be able to cultivate such a divine ability to this level at such a young age, his talent is truly extraordinary." On the other side, the Old Golden Monkey also said in shock. As someone who originated from the Western Sect in the Lower Realm, Mengchen was naturally no stranger to the divine ability the Buddha Son was displaying.

Likewise, he could fully manifest the Golden Body Dharma Image, but at this moment, there was no doubt he absolutely could not use it.

Because of the matter regarding his battle pets, he had already caused quite a bit of trouble. If he were to use the Western Sect's sect-protecting divine ability and be mistaken for having stolen the sect's techniques, he feared it would lead to unnecessary disputes.

Furthermore, the most important thing was that he possessed multiple techniques of the Ten Fiends, which the Western Sect Master and many great beings of the Upper Realm were aware of. If his identity as someone who ascended from the Lower Realm were exposed because of this, he feared it would bring about a great disaster, causing Heizi, Xiaohuang, Qingyi, and Xiyao to all fall into danger.

Thus, Mengchen decided to use his Supreme Bone technique. In Shicun of the Lower Realm, after he had re-enacted the Supreme Bone technique through the Original True Explanation, he had never used it. Now, he could take this opportunity to test it out.

Following this, Mengchen also began to move; after divine patterns appeared in a flash, the void above his head, which had been calm, began to change suddenly.

Then, as the hand seals evolved rapidly, the golden light filling the sky amidst the clouds grew increasingly brilliant, until finally, golden clouds covered the heavens; with a boom, a massive Golden Body of a Jin Fu manifested and formed a demon-subduing hand seal.

"What technique is this? It actually possesses such might?"

High above in the sky, the two Heavenly Gods, Lao Pixiu and Old Golden Monkey, felt deeply shocked; the power of this technique was actually far stronger than the sect-protecting divine abilities of the Western Sect.

"Master's technique is so strong!" Xiaohuang felt shaken in her heart.

"It is even stronger than when he evolved and gained insights in the Lower Realm!" Qingyi's willow-leaf brows were tightly knit, and her eyes appeared very astonished.

Xiyao and Heizi, who were on the side, also became particularly shocked; this innate divine ability was simply too terrifying!

"Fellow Daoist has such a powerful divine ability!" The Buddha Son of the Western Sect transformed into a Golden Body Dharma Image and let out a sound of surprise.

A moment later, however, he became joyful.

"Come! Fellow Daoist! Let us unleash this strike to our hearts' content."

"Boom..."

The massive Golden Body Dharma Image swung its palm out, erupting with boundless divine light that illuminated the firmament.

That huge golden palm swept through the air, arriving like a brilliant great star traversing the sky.

"Thousand-Hand Pagoda!"

Following a soft shout from Mengchen, the Jin Fu manifested in the sky unleashed the demon-subduing seal, and in an instant, the precious light covered the world.

"Boom, rumble...!"

The golden giant hands filling the sky vied to surge forward, pointing directly at the Golden Body Dharma Image transformed by the Buddha Son of the Western Sect; in an instant, the void cracked, and heaven and earth seemed as if they were about to collapse.

"Bang...!"

The violent sound of the collision was like thunder from the Nine Heavens, causing fear in the heart; there, talismanic light burned, raining down light across the sky.

"Crack..."

A crisp sound suddenly rang out.

"Ah... how can this be? The Golden Body Dharma Image of Lord Buddha Son has actually cracked." The Jinmao Shizi was surprised.

At this moment, everyone could clearly see that the Golden Body Dharma Image transformed by the Buddha Son of the Western Sect had already cracked, and the cracks were continuing to spread.

"Crack..."

In a moment, another cracking sound rang out; the Golden Body Dharma Image was like shattered debris, turning into light rain and scattering, exposing the true body of the Buddha Son.

But at this moment, the golden giant hands filling the sky were still erupting and attacking.

The expression of the Buddha Son of the Western Sect was no longer calm as water; it became quite solemn, and he continuously unleashed divine abilities to resist.

"Roar..."

Suddenly, a giant roar seemed to tear the firmament apart; in an instant, the earth shook and the mountains swayed, and even the vast, endless void trembled violently at this moment.

This roar struck directly at the primordial spirit, causing Mengchen to immediately terminate the attacking divine ability; the Jin Fu manifested above the sky and the golden giant hands that were attacking vanished in an instant.

Following closely, he hurriedly guarded his primordial spirit to avoid being harmed by the roar; Qingyi, Xiaohuang, Heizi, Xiyao, and even the Buddha Son on the side were no different.

Even the two Heavenly Gods standing across the sky were filled with shock at this moment.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."

As four heavy sounds rang out, the earth cracked open.

Mengchen and everyone else actually saw that those black mountains and the Ancient Palace in the center of the mountains were actually like living things, continuously beginning to rise.

"This... this... is actually a giant turtle?"

Mengchen exclaimed; following careful observation, he actually saw that there was a giant turtle beneath the black mountains that held the Ancient Palace.

It could be said that this giant turtle was carrying the Ancient Palace, and those black mountains were the protrusions on the giant turtle's back.

"Roar..." The giant turtle turned its head to glance at the crowd, and then, following a startling roar, it stepped forward toward the distance.

"This is the Supreme God Treasury!" Mengchen was incredibly astonished; he had seen it in the images reflected by the Vajra Pestle when he was in the Lower Realm.

He did not expect that this giant turtle had actually also come to the Upper Realm.

As they observed more clearly, Mengchen could recognize it, and naturally, these people from the Upper Realm recognized it as well.

"Quick! Attack together to capture it; this is the giant turtle carrying the Supreme Hall, and inside is the supreme inheritance of the Supreme Hall." Lao Pixiu shouted loudly.

Immediately, he and the Old Golden Monkey attacked simultaneously, waving and shooting out countless order divine chains, firmly locking the giant turtle.

However, these order divine chains were broken in an instant, unable to make the giant turtle stop for even half a moment.

This giant turtle could not even be blocked by Heavenly Gods; Mengchen and the others were extremely terrified.

That giant turtle stepped out step by step, walking straight toward the distance; although its pace seemed slow, it was as if it could shrink the earth into an inch, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to disappear from sight.
