CHAPTER 546: CHAPTER 548: THE ATTITUDE BECOMES FRIENDLY!

The young girl followed her grandmother’s gaze and looked over.

In the direction of the Buddhist Pure Land, streams of light fell like golden rain.

At the same time, the clouds parted, and a gigantic Golden Buddha Statue stood upright.

"What a powerful Buddha!" she exclaimed, shocked.

Then she remembered the devils that had been chasing them and glanced over.

She saw the devils that had been pursuing them scatter madly in all directions.

Like a group of mice that had seen a cat, they vanished without a trace in an instant.

"All Buddhas have descended, and they are afraid!"

Thinking of this, the young girl breathed a sigh of relief.

They were temporarily safe, nothing to worry about!

"Grandmother, they’ve run off in fright. Let’s rest here for a while before we leave," the young girl said, collapsing to the ground.

The elderly woman came to her senses and nodded.

"Yes, let’s rest for a while.

But it can’t be for long. I’m worried their actions will affect us," she said solemnly.

Their actions?

"Grandmother, are you saying that the demonic monsters released from the eighteenth level of the relic tower are what drew the Buddhas to descend?

And that their actions might affect this place?" The young girl found it hard to believe.

This place was very far from the Buddhist Sect!

"It very likely could affect here. We should prepare for rain and be careful.

And it might not be as simple as the demonic monsters from the eighteenth level of the relic tower!

Perhaps it was that one young man!"

"Who? You don’t mean the scoundrel who stole the Yijing Bone Washing Skill I pilfered?"

In her eyes, Yang Yan wasn’t that strong!

"I initially thought it was the demonic monsters from the eighteenth level of the relic tower, but thinking again, something feels off!

No matter how strong those imprisoned inside the eighteenth level, they’ve been confined for a long, long time!

Their cultivation and power must have greatly diminished!

The Buddhist Sect’s elders have gathered, and logically, they should be able to withstand them without needing to call upon the Tathagata’s Decree and invite all Buddhas to descend!

Moreover, those imprisoned entities were originally trapped by members of the Buddhist Sect or the Buddhas themselves.

If they had a chance to escape, they would think of fleeing the Buddhist Sect, recuperating, and later seeking revenge.

Or perhaps wrecking some buildings to cause some loss to the Buddhist Sect would be the extent of it.

But now the Heavenly Buddhist Sect’s Buddhas have descended!

There must be a major blunder!

The one opposing the Buddhist Sect is someone remarkable!

Apart from that young man, I can’t think of anyone else!" The elderly woman explained.

The young girl puffed her cheeks.

"It might not necessarily be that scoundrel. He’s just a sneak thief taking advantage of chaos!"

*She hadn’t witnessed it herself and refused to believe Yang Yan was that strong!*

"That’s possible too, never mind. There’s no way to see their showdown here!

We should quickly recover ourselves and leave the West Soil.

Otherwise, if I don’t die from a curse, I’ll be killed here by those demons."

"Yes, Grandmother, then I’ll quickly recover and take you out."

"Right."

Inside the Buddhist Sect, in the Great Heroic Treasure Hall, the statues of Buddhas opened their eyes, coming to life.

They manifested, hovering in the air, in front of the enormous golden Buddha statue.

Mist floated around, making it appear as if they were above the Heavenly Dome.

Yang Yan swept his gaze over and saw what was described as the descent of all Buddhas.

Yet in the Great Heroic Treasure Hall of the Buddhist Sect temple, the Buddha statues he saw...

...outnumbered the ones now manifesting.

"Not all Buddhas have descended!"

And that included the Great Freedom, Formless, Ultimate Bliss Tathāgata Buddha!

If he had descended, the current scene wouldn’t be so understated.

It would definitely be more majestic!

"Who from the Lower Realm dares to make a name known here?" asked one of the outermost Golden Buddha Statues, looking down at Yang Yan.

This group of Golden Buddha Statues looked at Yang Yan, indifferent and impassive.

Yang Yan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.

*Even facing a formidable opponent who could threaten him, he remained composed!*

"And who are you? Declare your names,

Moreover, let Gu Bei Buddha come forward to see me!" he said coldly.

"Insolent!" shouted the Golden Buddha Statue on the outermost edge.

Yang Yan looked coldly at him.

"If you’re not Gu Bei Buddha, stay away from me!"

"How dare you disrespect the Buddha!" the Golden Buddha Statue on the outermost edge glared in anger.

"What are Buddhas to me? In my eyes, they’re less than mortals!" Yang Yan responded coldly and defiantly.

He raised his fist and punched out, the force rolling like the sea, crushing over.

The opponent raised a hand to catch the punch head-on.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the Golden Buddha Statue that caught Yang Yan’s punch head-on, positioned at the edge...

...was crushed by Yang Yan’s punch, and this Golden Buddha Statue directly exploded, dissipating into the void.

"How dare you strike!"

Even after Yang Yan punched and shattered a manifested Buddha, it did not deter the other Golden Buddhas.

One by one, the Golden Buddha Statues flew out to form a formation, raising their hands to attack Yang Yan.

"Everyone, stand back!" At this moment, inside the deepest, most central, and largest Golden Buddha Statue, words were uttered suppressively.

The voice was ear-shattering, displaying immense cultivation!

The many Golden Buddha Statues about to attack paused to look indifferently at Yang Yan, not moving.

"Who from the Lower Realm dares cause trouble in our Buddhist Sect, state your name and purpose.

We will take responsibility for you!" followed the gigantic Golden Buddha Statue.

Yang Yan frowned slightly, suspecting that the opponent had likely reached the Saint Realm, or even higher!

Yet!

The Golden Buddha Statue before him was not the true form.

As with the many Golden Buddha Statues in front of the opponent, none were the true forms.

They were the manifestations of all Buddhas!

But even reaching the Saint Realm with mere manifestations spoke volumes of their true forms’ strength!

"I said, let Gu Bei Buddha come out to see me!"

Though the opponent was mightily strong, Yang Yan did not care.

The power within him gathered, and he raised a fist.

The Emperor’s Power burst forth.

The void was pierced by him, the force like a long river.

It penetrated the void, crashing towards the heavenly Buddhas.

"Audacious!" roared the huge Golden Buddha Statue.

Golden light shone from him as he raised a hand to block in front of him.

A palm strike met the force of Yang Yan’s punch.

Boom!

The gigantic Golden Buddha Statue roared, retreating entirely.

It was struck tens of thousands of miles by Yang Yan’s punch, nearly pierced through the Heavenly Dome, pushed out of the human world, and into the outer world.

The Buddhist Sect’s monks were horrified by the scene.

They knew who the gigantic Golden Buddha Statue was, though Yang Yan did not.

It was the Heavenly Buddhist Sect’s, the host of Xiao Leiyin Temple, Gu Bei Buddha.

The true form’s level of strength was unknown to them.

But they were aware of the manifested strength.

The Saint Realm!

Yet even this so-called invincible Saint Realm figure in their eyes...

...was almost shattered and sent out of the heavens by Yang Yan’s punch.

"How strong is this guy’s physique, actually!"

They had initially thought that the descent of all Buddhas would easily crush Yang Yan.

But as the battle commenced, they realized they had been too optimistic!

"The force of this punch was clearly stronger than before!" Kurong thought.

Yang Yan’s previous punch that pierced the Pure Land was thought to be his strongest!

Who knew this punch now far surpassed the last.

"I wonder if this is all his strength!"

He dared not make a conclusion!

The other manifested Buddhas could no longer keep a straight face, each showing a look of astonishment!

Yang Yan’s punch was unreasonably strong!

"Amitabha, the benefactor not only possesses the Emperor’s Power,

even the physique power has reached nearly above the Third Sovereign realm!" a voice came, and the gigantic Golden Buddha Statue blinked back to its original position.

Space Dao!

Yang Yan narrowed his eyes, realizing the opponent cultivated Space Dao Intent!

"Third Sovereign realm?"

This punch, too, was not fully exerted.

For if exerted fully, his moves would be dreadfully slow.

Then, those present would notice his weaknesses.

He only used the strongest power he could currently manage!

"This punch did not harm him!" Yang Yan thought.

Physique power, after all, was merely barbaric power!

It couldn’t match the cohesion of Profound Qi or the wonders of the Dao Realm.

"But it wasn’t without any gain, at least I know now, he’s cultivating Space Dao!" Yang Yan pondered.

*Knowing your enemy and yourself ensures victory in a hundred battles!*

The opponent was his greatest threat in coming to the Buddhist Sect.

Knowing his opponent a bit more would lessen their threat a bit!

Moreover, after his punch, the opponent’s demeanor and attitude toward him changed.

It improved!

The other Buddhas looked at him more kindly too!

"You don’t behave honestly if you don’t fight!" Yang Yan mused. "Stop trying to cozy up to me; I don’t believe you don’t know what’s happening here.

Quickly tell me, who is Gu Bei Buddha!"
