Chapter 1043: Chapter 1042: [Heavenly Vault 18 Forms, Slaying the Half-Emperor Prince]

The monk in the Buddhist Emperor Realm, incomparably powerful, was the only supreme being in the Emperor Realm during his era, making him the strongest in this Martial Arts World.

The prince of the Golden Crow Clan, innately powerful, belonged to the most fearsome species of fierce birds. They fed on the Divine Fire from the Sun Star. The three-legged Golden Crow had left behind a notorious reputation since Ancient Times, carried on to the present. Despite the era’s emergence of a Buddhist Emperor Realm’s high monk, this prince of the Golden Crow Clan also stepped into the Half-Emperor Realm. He was truly an extraordinary character.

Rumble!

When a sun fell from the sky, the Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan unleashed one of the clan’s most potent Ancient Divine Skills. He used endless Divine Skills to mimic the falling of the Sun Star, aiming to shock-kill the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk. Yet he did not foresee the monk catching it with a single palm, which was truly formidable.

Envisioning a single arm lifting a star, it signifies an unimaginable Divine Skill, like plucking stars and scooping the moon, swallowing heaven and earth’s power. Moreover, this star burned inside and out with Divine Fire, which couldn’t be easily touched. If not for the monk having reached the Emperor Realm, he would have turned to ashes by now.

However, this Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan also possessed outstanding talent. He seemed aware that even with the Golden Crow Clan’s ancient secret technique, ”Sun Star,” falling down, he couldn’t shock-kill the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk. Nonetheless, this secret technique was handed down since the birth of the Golden Crow Clan, comprehended by their ancestor in the Sun Star. By harnessing the Sun Star’s power, it was extremely formidable. Even if he couldn’t kill the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk, he could momentarily stop his moves. The Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan anticipated the monk’s compassion for Earth’s other beings and utilized that benevolence to trap the monk in a life-and-death scenario.

A streak of firelight, formed by the Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan, pierced through the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk’s chest. Blood spilled continuously. The monk indeed sacrificed his body to protect Earth’s beings from the Half-Emperor Prince’s attack. Despite the current bloodiness, he still steadfastly supported the falling Sun Star with his right hand, coldly regarding the Half-Emperor Prince, his gaze devoid of killing intent, embodying a sense of detachment that made the prince frown deeply.

”Old bald donkey, facing death with such a compassionate look, what use is it? I will send you to the Western Paradise now!”

Whoosh! The Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan charged at the monk. This time, he moved much faster and stronger than before, emanating a pervasive Slaughter Aura that shook heaven and earth, making numerous martial arts experts tremble with fear.

A duel between a Great Emperor and a Half-Emperor—what a scene! The battle should have shattered mountains, shattered the heavens and earth, devastated star after star’s galaxy. However, the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk intentionally controlled and minimized the range of impact. Yet, the entire thousand-mile radius was left in ruins. This was truly a battle of supreme experts, capable of reaching unpredictable levels, causing souls to shiver.

Facing the Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan charging once more, the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk gazed at the Sun Star overhead, then looked at the approaching prince. He withdrew his left hand, placed it before his chest, and solemnly intoned, ”Amitabha Buddha, I did not kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me. Sin, sin. At this stage, I must completely annihilate the Golden Crow Clan, and let all karmic sins fall upon me...”

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

The four directions trembled just as the Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan rushed towards the monk, suddenly blocked by a flash of Buddha Light. Shocked, the prince revealed his human form, his eyes blazing with Divine Fire. Glancing around, he saw four Buddha statues erected like four Great Buddhas sitting between heaven and earth, immovable despite the collapse of heaven and earth. In the center of the four Buddhas, a wall formed by four Buddha Lights trapped the prince.

”Hmph, just with this capability, you can’t kill me!” the Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan roared, unleashing a series of Fire Light Fist Powers, immensely powerful, shaking heaven and earth. The Golden Crow Clan was truly formidable, and particularly at the Half-Emperor Realm, the Golden Crow was terrifyingly formidable.

The high monk of the Buddhist Emperor Realm shook his head, simply forming a strange seal with his left hand, and said calmly, ”Heavenly Eighteen Forms...”

As soon as the Buddhist high monk’s words fell, eighteen bald monks appeared in front of the Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan, surrounded by four great Buddhas. These eighteen bald monks, their bodies radiating golden light, simultaneously attacked the Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan. Each of them executed just one move, yet each move was imbued with endless divine power, with eighteen mysterious and boundless forces striking towards the Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan all at once.

Bang!

The body of the Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan was covered in blood, battered and bloody, his eyes filled with a fierce light, and anger surged skyward. From his entire being burst forth streams of firelight. His Golden Crow Clan, born powerful, natural aristocrats, every one that emerged from the sun star was immensely powerful, possessing vast divine abilities. For millions of years, his Golden Crow Clan had always been so dominant, fearing no other species, always aspiring for supreme dominance of the world. As a Prince of the Golden Crow Clan, having reached the Half-Emperor Realm, how could he be so powerful, yet be reduced to such a wretched state, feeling an impending death? Humiliation, utter humiliation!

”Ah, ignite my body, divine fire destroy the world!”

Suddenly, the Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan shouted loudly, his voice earth-shattering. He revealed his true form, a gigantic Golden Crow across heaven and earth, yet was continuously confined by the four colossal Buddha statues. The scriptures on these Buddha statues constantly shimmered, making it impossible for the Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan to escape this constraint, no matter whether he used techniques to grow larger or smaller.

Rumble!

The Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan ultimately chose suicide, self-immolation. He wanted to destroy this star domain in this way, to avenge his clan’s fallen Golden Crows, cruel to the extreme, disregarding the lives of other innocent beings. This was the innate nature of the Golden Crow Clan, inherently vicious, unchangeable.

”Amitabha Buddha!”

The high monk of the Buddhist Emperor Realm chanted the Buddhist name once again, and the eighteen golden bald monks within the four Buddha statues suddenly encircled the Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan. From the center of the brows of the eighteen golden bald monks, a holy Buddha Light was emitted, linking together to surround the Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan. As the Half-Emperor Prince protected himself, a blaze obstructed the view of the heavens and earth, rendering everything indistinct.

When everything became clear, Ye Tianchen and Master Fang Yi looked towards the last painting on the seventeenth humanoid stele. The Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan had died, the high monk of the Buddhist Emperor Realm had withdrawn his divine skills, but he was also seriously injured, his body broken by the Half-Emperor Prince, his vital essence energy depleting. This great battle was indeed too tragic, the high monk of the Buddhist Emperor Realm, naturally incredibly powerful, yet the Golden Crow Clan was also innately formidable, forcing an Emperor Realm power to such extremes, necessitating such a sacrifice to completely exterminate him.

”The Golden Crow Clan is truly too powerful!” Master Fang Yi couldn’t help but say.

”Every Golden Crow of the Golden Crow Clan is immensely powerful and inherently fierce, and with a Half-Emperor Realm Prince, the senior high monk of the Buddhist Sect had a hard time. Throughout history, no Emperor before him dared to undertake such an earth-shattering feat, to destroy the Golden Crow Clan. The courage of this senior high monk is admirable!” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but exclaim.

”The Heavenly Eighteen Forms is the only divine skill of the Buddhist Sect not documented in the Yijin Jing. This Buddhist Holy Skill that can annihilate Half-Emperor power is truly astonishing. Master Ye should thoroughly comprehend it,” said Master Fang Yi to Ye Tianchen seriously.

”Indeed!” nodded Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen had indeed not expected that the divine skill used by this senior high monk of the Buddhist Emperor Realm to finally vanquish the Half-Emperor Prince of the Golden Crow Clan was none other than the ”Heavenly Eighteen Forms.” What a powerful divine skill it was, able to shock and kill a Half-Emperor, a being just one step away from becoming a Supreme Emperor. This also explained why on the summit of the Sealing Demon Cliff, a high monk of the Buddhist Sect left behind eighteen humanoid steles. Not only did these steles record the battle where he exterminated the Golden Crow Clan, but they also left behind his Tao and legacy, which was the ”Heavenly Eighteen Forms” inheritance obtained by Ye Tianchen.

Without more words, everything came as a shock. Many things were unimaginable yet truly happened. Ye Tianchen and Master Fang Yi looked at the last painting. If not mistaken, this final painting recorded how in those days, the senior high monk of the Buddhist Emperor Realm used the Eighteen Golden Arhat Array to seal the egg left by the Golden Crow Clan...
