Defeated!

The Eight Hundred Buddha Countries have been defeated!

This is something that hasn’t happened for over a thousand years.

But now.

This army, assembled with countless strongmen from the Eight Hundred Buddha Countries, has been completely vanquished, scattered like leaves. How could this not shock the masses, how could it not frighten them!

...

If the Eight Hundred Buddha Countries were terrified, then Grand Leiyin Mountain was furious.

”How is this possible? Why does this evil demon possess such methods? Couldn’t the Eight Hundred Buddha Countries stop him?”

”In just three days, the entire army of the Eight Hundred Buddha Countries was defeated? One must know, the Celestial Venerable strongmen of the Eight Hundred Buddha Countries are even more than the entire Barbaric Continent!”

The upper echelons of Grand Leiyin Mountain could no longer remain calm upon receiving the news.

Originally.

According to everyone’s perspective, what if Ye Qingchen entered the secret realm? Even without Grand Leiyin Mountain taking action, the strongmen of the Eight Hundred Buddha Countries could easily overwhelm Ye Qingchen.

Now it seems, they were entirely mistaken!

”However...”

Many upper echelons of Grand Leiyin Mountain glanced back at the vast Grand Leiyin Mountain, looking at the monks, heads bowed, chanting Buddha’s names, and felt a subtle sense of relief.

Even if the Eight Hundred Buddha Countries can’t withstand it, so what?

There’s still the Ten Thousand Buddha Array of Grand Leiyin Mountain!

...

After crushing the coalition of the Eight Hundred Buddha Countries, the enemies that once surged through day and night, came to a sudden halt and never appeared again.

But for Ye Qingchen, this was actually a good thing.

Even for him.

Traveling tens of thousands of miles, killing countless foes uninterrupted for three days, he was somewhat worn out.

”Is that Grand Leiyin Mountain?”

Taking a sip of Fire Element Spirit Spring Water and eating an Immortal Spirit Fruit, feeling his exhausted body gradually revitalizing, Ye Qingchen leisurely headed towards Grand Leiyin Mountain.

This Grand Leiyin Mountain is no less than the Great Wilderness Mountain of the Eastern Domain, perhaps even grander. From afar, temples extend endlessly atop the mountain, thick Buddha light forming a massive five-colored halo, enveloping the mountain, with faint Buddhist hymns echoing from afar.

”The space within the Eight Hundred Buddha Countries is even larger than the Immortal Burial Mountain Secret Realm!” Ye Qingchen touched his chin, pondering internally. ”No wonder the Buddhist sect can create its own world!”

Feeling Yao Qing’s aura within Grand Leiyin Mountain, although seemingly isolated, but ultimately not in life-threatening danger, Ye Qingchen wasn’t anxious and quietly observed the entire Grand Leiyin Mountain.

Thus, the last part of the journey took him three to four days.

At this moment, he’d returned to wearing a pale blue robe, leisurely with hands behind his back, entirely unlike the evil demon reputed in the Eight Hundred Buddha Countries, instead appearing like a wealthy young noble strolling through a spring garden.

At some point, there appeared some citizens of the Eight Hundred Buddha Countries along the previously empty road. They looked curiously at the figure of the blue-robed youth, but Ye Qingchen seemed oblivious to the curious gazes, continuing his pace, one step at a time, unhurried.

”It’s here!”

Finally.

Reaching the road’s end, he looked up slightly, finding a green stone staircase before him, stretching into the heavens like a celestial ladder.

”Venerable Duoe!”

Ye Qingchen slowly narrowed his eyes.

A glint of cold light flashed across his eyes.

Beneath the calm demeanor, a furious storm raged within.

He never expected that after establishing the Celestial Venerable Forbidden Area and cutting down the Evil Mountain Monarch, someone would dare to threaten him using those around him!

Beyond the vast stone staircase, there was a huge circular plaza.

Right now, nearly ten thousand people were seated within the plaza, all wearing moon-colored kasayas, hands clasped, eyes lowered, chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Their movements were in perfect harmony, as if a single voice among thousands, without a trace of noise.

In the plaza’s center, Venerable Duoe was seated. Since fleeing Cyan Cloud City, he’d retreated to the Eight Hundred Buddha Countries and arranged the Ten Thousand Buddha Array, preparing to confront Ye Qingchen!

”He’s here!”

Suddenly.

Those monks chanting with bowed heads felt a sudden dread, and all turned their gaze to the end of the stone steps.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The sound of footsteps from beneath the stone steps, though gentle, was like that of a colossal beast, each step pressed heavily upon their hearts. The clear sky seemed to shroud itself in shadow.

On the plaza, under nearly ten thousand scrutinizing eyes, the blue-robed youth ascended the final step.

At this moment, seated at the plaza’s center, Venerable Duoe, who had been nodding with lowered eyes, finally raised his head. On his brow was a bright red ”kill,” the divine soul kill command of Ye Qingchen!

From Venerable Duoe’s body came the sound of thunder clashing with fire:

”Donor Ye, you’ve finally arrived!”

The tremendous voice shook Grand Leiyin Mountain, causing numerous monks and disciples to cover their ears, struggling to remain upright. ”I was right about you, indeed you are the evil demon from Po Yi Blood Sea, the Eight Hundred Buddha Countries were peaceful for millennia, but with your entry, rivers of blood flowed!”

As his words fell, Yao Qing, who was restrained nearby, got so angry her nose was almost crooked, she shouted:

”You shameless old monk, you clearly attacked my master first, then captured me to force the master to come. You ordered the Eight Hundred Buddha Countries’ experts to block the master...”

On the plaza, many monks showed embarrassment, faces slightly flushed with shame, only Venerable Duoe’s expression remained unchanged, continuing as if unaware:

”Donor Ye, you have broken through the Eight Hundred Buddha Countries and arrived here, but what of it? I’ve prepared the Ten Thousand Buddha Array! If you’re willing to lay down your sword and join our Buddhist sect, chanting scriptures and praying to Buddha for three hundred years, I can spare your life!”

He swept his long sleeves confidently.

”Ha, with just these hens and dogs?” Ye Qingchen sneered, speaking: ”Release Yao Qing, cut forth with your arrogance, and I may leave you with a shred of your sect’s heritage, or else, I’ll level your Grand Leiyin Mountain!”

”Donor Ye, you’re too arrogant!” Venerable Duoe furrowed his brows. ”Grand Leiyin Mountain isn’t a place for your recklessness! Today, let me show you the millennial foundation of Grand Leiyin Mountain!”

Then, he suddenly shouted solemnly:

”Array, rise!”

Instantly.

A monk chanted Buddha’s name and from his crown emanated a golden light reaching high into the sky.

That golden light rose slowly, piercing through the void, revealing gathering clouds and thunderous echoes atop Grand Leiyin Mountain. Amidst the surging golden light, a Buddha’s Dharma Aspect emerged.

This Dharma Aspect was immense, five hundred zhang tall!

And as more monks chanted Buddha’s name, more golden lights appeared, more Dharma Aspects of Buddha manifested over Grand Leiyin Mountain. Initially few, but eventually, they covered the sky, dominating all of Grand Leiyin Mountain’s sky.

At a glance, it seemed as though ten thousand Buddhas dwelled atop Grand Leiyin Mountain!

Each of these Buddhas had clasped hands, some with lowered eyes like Bodhisattvas, some with fierce gazes like vajras.

”This is the Ten Thousand Buddha Array?”

Yao Qing’s expression changed.

Since her capture by Venerable Duoe, held at Grand Leiyin Mountain, she’d seen the constant arrangements atop the mountain. She’d only heard this was the mountain’s last trump card.

At first, she dismissed it, but now that she’d seen it, she realized how terrifying this array truly was!

”Can the master handle this Ten Thousand Buddha Array?”

Yao Qing trembled inside.

However.

Before she could react, at the center of the plaza, Venerable Duoe suddenly brought his hands together.

”Rise!”

In that moment.

As if receiving decree from Buddha!

A golden light surged from Venerable Duoe’s crown, transforming into a massive Buddha’s Dharma Aspect measuring seven thousand two hundred zhang tall. This Dharma Aspect seemed to emerge directly from earth and sky, eyes round and wide, brows furrowed.

With Venerable Duoe’s movements, it slowly nodded, looking towards Ye Qingchen.

In that instant.

The Ten Thousand Buddha Array was complete!
