Chapter 846: Fragile
The Hundred Saints Ancestor muttered incantations, but no one could understand what he was saying. However, as he spoke, the halo swirled, as if there were endless cycles of cause and effect within it, with countless golden rays constantly spewing out!
The light appeared harmless, even possessing a majestic quality that transcended all living beings…
But Xiaobai quickly realized what was going on!
The danger of that light was absolutely the most he had ever seen in his life!
They appear harmless, and indeed they are; however, once infected by the immense will behind this mystical light, one will inevitably be enveloped by that faith.
In other words, the Hundred Saints Ancestor did not actually become a puppet controlled by someone. He was simply influenced by the powerful outsider, and his martial arts and Taoist practices were assimilated into the so-called "Buddhist teachings"!
What exactly is Buddhism?
Xiao Bai was certain he had never heard of this kind of Taoist practice, but when he thought of the words "Buddhism," he somehow felt he recognized those two words.
"This is bad! Even the Heavenly Banner Ancestor can't withstand this attack!"
Saint Ginseng exclaimed in surprise.
He and Xiaobai watched the battle from the sky. Although they were detached from it, they were still terrified by what they saw!
All that could be seen was that the Heavenly Banner Ancestor's full-force attack was completely dissolved and vanished without a trace the moment it touched the millions of golden lights emanating from the halo behind the Hundred Saints Ancestor!
"This, how is this possible!"
The face of the Heavenly Banner Ancestor turned pale instantly, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.
He clearly hadn't expected the Hundred Saints Ancestor's strength to have reached such a terrifying level. That golden light seemed capable of devouring everything; even his proud array and the full-force attack blessed by the nation's fortune couldn't budge it in the slightest!
It vanished just like that, like a clay ox sinking into the sea!
If even he himself cannot stop the Hundred Saints Ancestor, then the destruction of the Heavenly Banner Ancient Kingdom is only a matter of time.
"Brother Tianfan, why be so stubborn?"
"The sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore. Taking refuge in Buddhism is the only way for all beings to escape suffering."
The Hundred Saints Ancestor slowly raised his head and looked at him calmly. There was no hostility in his eyes, but rather a compassion that transcended worldly concerns.
Just then, the halo behind him began to spin again, and golden light spread outwards like a tide!
In an instant, the golden light swept over, tearing apart the protective formation of the ancient capital of Tianfan as if it were made of paper. Countless cultivators within the city retreated in terror, no longer daring to linger!
Not only that, even the Heavenly Banner Kingdom's ruler and its guardian spirit beast were shaken.
but.
They want to escape, but is it really that easy for them to escape?
"As long as I am here, the Ancient Kingdom of Tianfan will never fall!"
"I'm an old man, I'll fight you to the death!"
The Heavenly Banner Ancestor was still unwilling to surrender. He roared and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, and his Dao power began to burn fiercely!
"He's forcing out his life essence and burning his life force—he's risking his life!"
Saint Ginseng exclaimed in surprise.
"It's no use, he's bound to lose." Xiao Bai saw it clearly from the sky and was shocked.
In his opinion, the strength and cultivation of this Hundred Saints Ancestor were definitely not as good as that of the Heavenly Banner Ancestor. Although he had that strange faith and willpower, he did not expect him to be so powerful!
The intent within that golden light seemed capable of eroding everything, even an unparalleled expert like the Heavenly Banner Ancestor could not withstand it.
What about him?
In any case, Xiaobai has absolutely no intention of testing the power within that golden light.
"All 'magical arts' are illusory in the face of this 'Buddhist teachings'."
"The Hundred Saints Ancestor said calmly."
The Heavenly Banner Ancestor risked everything, charging alone into the Buddha's light, but he could only hold on for less than ten breaths before he was completely exhausted and could no longer advance!
Immediately, Buddhist light enveloped his entire body. As the fighting spirit in Tianfan Ancestor's eyes gradually faded, he quickly returned to calm. After calming down, Tianfan Ancestor's face first showed shock, which quickly turned into infatuation, and finally... he became like Baisheng Ancestor, neither surprised nor humiliated, and his eyes also showed the same deep compassion!
“Brother Baisheng, I was unaware of the profoundness of Buddhism just now and offended you greatly.”
The Heavenly Banner Ancestor actually turned around and bowed to the Hundred Saints Ancestor.
They were just fighting!
“Brother Tianfan, there’s no need for that. Now we are both disciples of the Buddha Kasyapa. Given time, we will surely reach the other shore.”
The Hundred Saints Ancestor was very pleased.
"The suffering of all beings is such that our ancient kingdom of Tianfan is fortunate to be able to take refuge under the Buddha's light, which is an unprecedented blessing."
The changes in the Heavenly Banner Ancestor plunged the entire Heavenly Banner Ancient Capital into unprecedented panic.
The cultivators, who had initially held onto a sliver of hope, had now completely lost their will to fight.
Even the Heavenly Banner Ancestor was corrupted by that strange golden light, turning into a state almost identical to that of the Hundred Saints Ancestor. How could they possibly resist it?
"This method..."
Xiao Bai's face also looked pale, and he felt a pang of fear.
He had initially thought that this mysterious and powerful figure, who spoke eloquently and uttered nonsensical words, was merely trying to bewitch living beings. But now it seemed that this was hardly bewitchment at all.
After all, the Heavenly Banner Ancestor didn't seem to have lost his mind at all; he seemed to have grasped some great wisdom.
But that's exactly what terrified Xiaobai!
What exactly is this so-called "Buddhism" and why can it so easily erode the will of a supreme expert?
What's even more terrifying is that this erosion doesn't seem to be forced, but rather something that people willingly accept, even becoming addicted to! "...It's time to go."
Xiao Bai said in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of urgency.
The last struggle of the Tianban Ancient Kingdom was utterly futile; it crumbled at the slightest touch!
There's no need to keep watching.
"Yes, the Holy Dragon Clan is of utmost importance."
Although Shengshen did not have a deep connection with the ancient Tianfan Kingdom, he couldn't help but feel resentful as he watched an ancient kingdom perish.
but.
Just as they were about to leave, the Hundred Saints Ancestor below suddenly raised his head and looked directly in their direction.
"Since you two have seen me recite scriptures and discuss Buddhism, why don't you show yourselves and let me know your opinions?"
The voice of the Hundred Saints Ancestor was calm and gentle, as if inviting an old friend. Xiao Bai and the Holy Ginseng were startled; they hadn't expected that despite their deep concealment, they had still been discovered.
Moreover, this mere Supreme Realm expert could actually see through the illusion set up by him, a fourth-level Origin Realm expert!
Outrageous.
That's absolutely outrageous.
The two dragons exchanged a glance, knowing that hiding any longer was pointless, so they simply appeared from the clouds and landed in front of the Hundred Saints Ancestor.
"what do you want?"
Xiao Bai asked in a deep voice, a hint of wariness in his eyes.
The Hundred Saints Ancestor smiled slightly, his eyes still carrying that transcendent compassion. "I merely wish to liberate all beings from the sea of suffering and guide them to the Buddhist path. Since you two have the destiny to come here, why not study the Dharma together?"
"Buddhism?" Xiao Bai sneered, "I don't know what you mean by Buddhism, but to me it's nothing more than an evil art that corrupts the will of others. I have no interest in it!"
Well, this guy is even thinking of keeping him here too.
Could the mysterious powerful figure behind him really give him such courage?
