Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 558: Chapter 325 Demon Buddha_2

With their level of cultivation, it was impossible for them to be tracked by cultivators without being detected, unless it was a Nascent Soul Ancestor doing the tracking. But if a Nascent Soul Ancestor was indeed tracking them, he would have rather dealt with them on the spot.

Now trapped inside the cave dwelling, they had no possibility of escape.

“You are disciples of Venerable Huijing, but it doesn’t matter. I’ve never gotten along with Huijing, so what could he do if I slew his two disciples?” Ancestor Lu had no intention of forming any rapport with the two juniors, and he spoke without any regard for consequences.

Li Yuanba felt it even more profoundly, Ancestor Lu stood in the air; a terrifying energy had already enveloped the entire mountain.

This was not a formation but rather Ancestor Lu using his unparalleled strength to forcibly seal the entire mountain with spiritual power.

No matter what methods the two Great Arhats had, trying to escape from the spiritual power seal of a Nascent Soul Ancestor was completely impossible.

Ancestor Lu reached out and lightly tapped a large rock; the rock suddenly exploded into dust, revealing the cave entrance behind it.

The strike did not end with the rock turning into dust, as the spiritual power continued to surge towards the cave entrance and instantly broke the formation of the cave dwelling.

Even Li Yuanba sensed the unstable aura of the two Great Arhats, fluctuating due to their emotional turmoil, indicating that they had not yet reached the stage where they regarded death as a return home.

Wisdom Arhat took out a string of buddha beads, and as he activated his Divine Thought, an illusory figure appeared from within the beads.

“Greetings to Benefactor Lu. My disciples have offended you. Please spare them!” The illusory old monk gave a Buddhist salute to Ancestor Lu.

“Huijing, you should just take in two new disciples since I’ll be sending these two early to meet the Buddha!” Ancestor Lu replied with a sneer.

He seemed unaware that Venerable Huijing’s illusory figure was continuously forming Buddha seals with his hands. Li Yuanba saw it, but such a conversation was beyond his place to interject.

Venerable Huijing felt helpless as he knew that Ancestor Lu was unlikely to spare the two Great Arhats.

Another Nascent Soul Ancestor might have considered negotiating to save face, but since Li Yuanba was Ancestor Lu’s disciple…

The two Great Arhats had acted against Li Yuanba, and whether it was a matter of preserving face or maintaining his dignity and teachings, Ancestor Lu was determined to eradicate anyone who dared to challenge his lineage.

Venerable Huijing was using an energy avatar, which could combat Golden Core cultivators or even False Infant Cultivators.

But when facing a real Nascent Soul Ancestor like Ancestor Lu, it was all but futile.

Therefore, Venerable Huijing put all his energy avatar’s spiritual power into trying to carve a path of escape for his two disciples.

He spoke to draw Ancestor Lu’s attention; every additional Buddha seal he formed increased his disciples’ chance of escape.

While he spoke, a golden light burst from the hands of Venerable Huijing’s energy avatar, and countless golden Buddha seals shot towards the distance, colliding with Ancestor Lu’s previously set spiritual power.

The golden Buddha seals erupted from Venerable Huijing’s energy avatar like a needle, and although Ancestor Lu’s enveloping spiritual power on the mountain was strong, it was, after all, dispersed.

The golden Buddha seals swiftly traveled through Ancestor Lu’s spiritual power, forming a golden corridor; the two Great Arhats displayed joy, ready to make their exit through it.

The two Great Arhats understood clearly that they each held life-saving talismans. As long as they could escape from Ancestor Lu’s spiritual power seal and each took a different direction using the talismans, at least one of them could survive.

When facing a Nascent Soul Ancestor, paying a price was inevitable.

Just as the golden Buddha seals were about to break through the spiritual power seal, no change showed on Ancestor Lu’s face, nor did he contemplate any remedial actions.

At that moment, a golden figure appeared in front of the golden Buddha seals and struck heavily with a punch.

With a loud “boom”, Li Yuanba felt the violent shockwaves dispersing from the point of impact. Fortunately, he was beside Ancestor Lu, where the shockwaves dissipated as they neared.

But other directions were not so lucky. The shockwave swept through, turning rocks and trees into tiny fragments.

Li Yuanba’s gaze was fixed unblinkingly on the golden figure; it was a monk cloaked in gold, yet he was very clear that this was no monk from Qianye Temple.

Perhaps this golden monk had been a monk of Qianye Temple in life, but at this moment, his identity was that of a Golden Corpse.

This was the first time he had encountered a Golden Corpse, yet he had recognized it instantly.

Unlike other refined corpses, the Golden Corpse did not possess the terrifying fangs or claws that surpassed human features, nor was it taller than a normal human; it appeared no different from a normal person.

The only difference was that the Golden Corpse’s entire body shimmered in gold.

This golden color was not merely a hue; the surface of the Golden Corpse’s body radiated a golden glow outward.

This was Ancestor Lu’s Golden Corpse; unbeknownst to him when, Ancestor Lu had released the Golden Corpse, no wonder he was not in a hurry.

The punch of the Golden Corpse seemed to involve no energy, but its strength was immense; it directly annihilated the golden Buddha Seal.

Perhaps if Venerable Huijing himself had been here, the Buddha Seal he cast might have contended with the Golden Corpse for a time, but with just an energy avatar, contesting the Golden Corpse was utterly impossible.

The Golden Corpse dispersed the golden Buddha Seal with a punch and then transformed into a streak of golden light rushing forward.

Wisdom Arhat and Zhi Hai Arhat wanted to make a move, but as the golden light appeared, their actions halted.

Both Wisdom Arhat and Zhi Hai Arhat had a small hole in their chests, and before them lay two shattered defensive talismans and two jade plaques.

The life essence of the two Great Arhats had already vanished; the gap between them and the Golden Corpse was considerable—dealing with them was truly like an adult bullying children.

Even the defensive talismans, and the protective jade plaques, had not delayed their death.

Li Yuanba had truly seen the terror of the Nascent Soul Ancestor; this was even under circumstances where the Nascent Soul Ancestor had not fully exerted his power.

He had heard that when the Nascent Soul Ancestor moved on the ground, he would not exert his full strength because doing so would cause irreparable damage to the ground.

“You have raised a Silver Corpse; for eradicating these two, you take the credit. These two corpses are yours now. Moreover, my Golden Corpse will leave a drop of Golden Blood in each of the corpses—there’s no need to worry about the Heavenly Thunder tribulation when refining the corpses into Silver Corpses!” Ancestor Lu said to Li Yuanba with a smile.

“Thank you, Ancestor!” Li Yuanba’s eyes brightened, and he hurriedly bowed in gratitude.

These were two Great Arhats; using their corpses to refine into corpses meant that if his realm was sufficient, he could refine them into Silver Corpses of the Middle Stage and even possess great potential to evolve into the Late Stage.

More importantly, it was the Golden Blood that the Golden Corpse left inside the two corpses.

The Golden Corpse Blood was the life essence of the Golden Corpse; it was only because Li Yuanba was a direct disciple and a favored individual by Ancestor Lu that such lavish expenditure was conceivable otherwise.

Moreover, Li Yuanba harbored a grudge against Qianye Temple. Although Ancestor Lu could not always protect Li Yuanba, providing him with some assistance was necessary.

The bodies of the two Great Arhats, along with a drop of Golden Blood from the Golden Corpse in each, could provide some support for Li Yuanba.

“Return on your own; I still have matters to handle!” Ancestor Lu waved his hand at Li Yuanba as he spoke.

Having eliminated the two Great Arhat Disciples of Venerable Huijing, given the veneer of compassion of Venerable Huijing, certainly retaliation was expected; he needed to let the sect know and prepare a response.

After he finished speaking, his figure merged into a blur and vanished.

Li Yuanba approached the two corpses, and he suddenly noticed that the Space Rings on the corpses were still intact, and the previously damaged cave dwelling had not suffered much destruction; the Spiritual Objects arranged inside were of considerable value.

Indeed, prepared for the two Great Arhats, Qianye Temple had spared no expense in constructing this cave dwelling.

Especially within the cave dwelling, he discovered a special treasure, the Locking Phoenix Sealing Dragon Seal, inside of which was stored a Golden Core Spirit Vein.
