Chapter 828: Visitors from the Buddha Sect, Entanglements of Cause and Effect

Monk Du'e sighed: "An ancient Buddha became obsessed, transforming into a Demon Buddha, and began a massacre in the Buddha Sect. Although we have temporarily placed a Seal on him, the Seal could shatter at any moment."

"You grand Buddha Sect members can't even deal with your own people?" Lin Xuan mocked.

"We are ashamed." Monk Du'e gave a bitter smile, "That ancient Buddha has grasped a portion of the power of causality and can manipulate cause and effect. Before our attacks are even launched, the cause has already been altered by him; naturally, we cannot harm him in the slightest."

Lin Xuan understood. The power of causality is indeed bizarre, capable of altering causal relationships. If utilized properly, it is indeed nearly invincible.

"I can help, but there is a condition." Lin Xuan said, "The Origin of Causality must belong to me."

"That is only natural." Monk Du'e nodded, "Please follow me, Benefactor."

He waved his kasaya, and a golden portal appeared.

Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, then followed him inside.

The next moment, they appeared in the Buddha Sect.

The Buddha Sect is worthy of being a holy land of Buddhism; everywhere there are magnificent temples, Sanskrit chants linger, and the scent of sandalwood is pungent. Countless monks are chanting scriptures everywhere, a scene of peace.

But beneath this peace, Lin Xuan felt an oppressive aura.

"That over there is Mount Sumeru." Monk Du'e pointed into the distance.

It was a golden mountain peak towering into the clouds, with a massive temple at its summit. But at this moment, the temple was surrounded by swirling black energy, clearly the aura of the Demon Buddha.

"The Buddha Lord is waiting for you in the Mahavira Hall, Benefactor." Monk Du'e led the way.

Soon, they arrived before a magnificent grand hall.

Inside the hall, a figure whose face could not be clearly seen sat upon a lotus throne. Brilliant Buddha light radiated from his entire body, yet he carried an aura that transcended everything.

This was the Lord of the Buddha Sect—Buddha Lord Wuxiang.

"Benefactor Lun Hui, long time no see." Buddha Lord Wuxiang's voice was ethereal, as if it came from a great distance.

Lin Xuan frowned: "Do we know each other?"

"Destined in a past life, meeting in this one." Buddha Lord Wuxiang said mysteriously, "Does Benefactor remember, when you first obtained the Lun Hui inheritance, you once saw an old monk in an illusion?"

Lin Xuan's heart jolted. Indeed, when he first obtained the Lun Hui inheritance, he had seen an old monk in an illusion, and the other party had even guided him. Could it be...

"That was a wisp of my incarnation." Buddha Lord Wuxiang said, "Therefore, Benefactor truly has a connection with our Buddha Sect."

Lin Xuan was silent. He had not expected that he would have this layer of connection with the Buddha Sect.

"However, these are all matters of the past." Buddha Lord Wuxiang changed the subject, "The urgent matter is to resolve the problem of the Demon Buddha."

He waved his hand, and an image of Mount Sumeru appeared in the Void.

Inside the temple at the summit, a monk covered in black energy was roaring madly. Every time he roared, the Seal loosened by a fraction.

"This is Ancient Buddha Randeng, who was once the pillar of our Buddha Sect." Buddha Lord Wuxiang sighed, "It is a pity that while contemplating the Origin of Causality, he was backlashed by causality and fell into the demonic path."

"How much of the power of causality does he grasp now?" Lin Xuan asked.

"About thirty percent." Buddha Lord Wuxiang said, "But it is precisely this thirty percent that has made him nearly invincible. If he were to fully grasp the Origin of Causality, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Lin Xuan nodded: "I understand. What do you need me to do?"

"Use the power of Lun Hui to sever his connection with the Origin of Causality." Buddha Lord Wuxiang said, "Only the Law of Lun Hui can transcend causality."

Lin Xuan pondered for a moment: "I can, but I must see the Origin of Causality first."

Buddha Lord Wuxiang did not hesitate; he pointed his finger, and a golden light shot out.

Within the golden light, a transparent bead slowly emerged. Inside the bead, countless threads were intertwined, each thread representing a segment of causality.

This was the Origin of Causality!

Lin Xuan could feel that the power contained within this origin was extremely unique. It was not overbearing like other origins, but rather silent and subtle, quietly changing everything.

"Good." Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze, "Take me to see the Demon Buddha."

The group arrived at the summit of Mount Sumeru.

As soon as they approached, they heard the Demon Buddha's roar: "Old bald donkey Wuxiang! Let me out! I want to slaughter all you hypocrites!"

"Senior Brother Randeng, the Great Emperor Lun Hui has arrived." Buddha Lord Wuxiang said calmly.

The Demon Buddha's roar stopped: "Great Emperor Lun Hui? That junior who grasped the Law of Lun Hui?"

"Exactly."

"Hahaha!" The Demon Buddha laughed wildly, "Good! Let him come! I want to see if the Law of Lun Hui can truly restrain causality!"

The Seal suddenly shook violently, and a crack appeared.

Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed, knowing the Demon Buddha was about to break the Seal. He immediately circulated his Dao Fruit of Lun Hui, and the power of the three great origins erupted simultaneously.

"Lun Hui is impermanent, all causality is empty!"

Lin Xuan struck out with a palm, and the power of Lun Hui transformed into a great net, enveloping the Demon Buddha.

The moment the Lun Hui net fell, the Demon Buddha Randeng broke through the Seal, transforming into a streak of black light that shot into the sky.

"Well come!" The Demon Buddha laughed wildly, "Let this seat see what mysteries your Law of Lun Hui has!"

He formed seals with his hands, and a massive Causal Compass appeared behind him. The compass spun, and countless causal threads shot out from it, colliding with the Lun Hui net.

Boom—!

The collision of the two powers of law made the entire Mount Sumeru tremble. The mountain cracked, and countless rocks tumbled down. If not for Buddha Lord Wuxiang acting in time to protect it, the entire mountain would likely have collapsed.

"Interesting!" Surprise flashed in the Demon Buddha's eyes, "Your Law of Lun Hui can actually ignore causality!"

He had intended to use the power of causality to make Lin Xuan's attack "non-existent" in terms of causality. But the Law of Lun Hui transcended beyond causality and was completely unaffected.

"However, this seat's methods are not limited to these!"

Black energy surged on the Demon Buddha's body, and his entire person transformed into a thousand-foot-tall Demon Buddha manifestation. The manifestation had Three Heads and Six Arms, each hand holding a different demonic weapon.

"Causality Reversal!"

He swung his six arms in unison, and the power of causality surged wildly. The causal relationships in the Void began to become chaotic; up became down, left became right, and attacks became defenses.

Lin Xuan discovered that his perception had been disrupted. He clearly wanted to move forward, yet his body was retreating; he clearly wanted to strike with his palm, yet it turned into withdrawing his palm.

"This is the terrifying aspect of the power of causality." Buddha Lord Wuxiang said from afar, "He can alter all causal relationships, making the enemy fall into chaos themselves."

But Lin Xuan was not panicked. He closed his eyes, completely abandoning ordinary perception, and turned instead to using the Lun Hui Dao Fruit to sense.

From the perspective of Lun Hui, everything became clear. The disorder of cause and effect was merely a surface appearance; the essence had not changed.

"Found you."

Lin Xuan opened his eyes, and his figure suddenly vanished. The next moment, he appeared behind the Demon Buddha.

"What?" the Demon Buddha was greatly alarmed.

"Hell Path—Karmic Fire Incineration!"

Endless hellish karmic fire gushed out from Lin Xuan's palm, instantly surrounding the Demon Buddha's dharma form. Karmic fire specifically burns away karmic obstacles, and after falling into the demonic path, the Demon Buddha's body was burdened with incomparably heavy karmic obstacles.

"Ah!" the Demon Buddha shrieked, and the dharma form began to melt.

He wanted to use the power of cause and effect to resolve it, but discovered it was completely ineffective. The karmic fire belonged to a part of the laws of Lun Hui, which likewise transcended cause and effect.
