The Beginning of Ancient Times!

The Ancient Alien Race ruled the world, unimaginably powerful. Then the Demon Clan was born, also naturally receiving heaven’s protection, similar yet different from the Ancient Alien Race. The Ancient Alien Race and the Demon Clan have been fighting for dominion for a long time. Although the Ancient Alien Race is the most formidable, the Demon Clan is not weak either. It’s not easy for the Ancient Alien Race to annihilate the Demon Clan!

Subsequently, the Human Clan was born, inherently weak at birth, seemingly not favored by the heavens, nor by the Magic Law of this Martial Arts World. There was no natural divine power, and their lifespan was very short. They have lived very difficult lives in this Martial Arts World, treated as food by the Ancient Alien Race, and enslaved by the Demon Clan. Those times of unbearable shame for the Human Clan make one feel anger and sorrow!

However, the ancestors of the Human Clan would not sit idly by. They continuously observed the strength of the Ancient Alien Race and the Demon Clan, secretly cultivating. On the road to empowerment, countless spilled blood and countless ancestors were obliterated, their bones vanished. Through this, they gradually explored stealthily the cultivation methods, growing step by step in a Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, enduring immense pain and grief to slowly become stronger!

Finally, when the Supreme Strong appeared among the Human Clan, protection was achieved, shelter granted, allowing the Human Clan to have a foothold. At this time, powerful Human Clan Practitioners began killing Ancient Alien Race for food, subduing Demon Clan as mounts. Such events are frequent, reflecting the brutal and bloody roots of this Martial Arts World, where mutual slaughter never ends, within the clans and outside as well.

So when the Young Buddha expressed the wish for the Peacock Great Bright King to embrace Buddhism, the Peacock Great Bright King felt that the Young Buddha wanted to subdue it, to make it a caretaker of the Buddhist Sect’s heritage. What difference is this from being a guard dog? For such a Demon King as the Peacock Great Bright King, to submit is an absolute disgrace, a case of ”death before dishonor!”

”Ming King, I do not wish to subdue you, merely invite you to embrace the Buddha, to become a member of our Buddhist Sect, to invite you to join me in promoting the Buddhist Sect’s heritage for all eternity!” The Young Buddha spoke as he saw the Peacock Great Bright King activating the power of its Demon Core.

”Hmph, righteous words, but still hypocritical. We will fight as agreed. If I win, watch me devour all hundreds of people in this village, and you shall follow me, bringing me humans daily to eat. If I lose, I will acknowledge you as my teacher and embrace Buddhism!” The Peacock Great Bright King coldly snorted.

”Amitabha Buddha, Ming King, why are you being so stubborn?” The Young Buddha asked with furrowed brows.

”Little monk, maybe you are different from other hypocrites in the Buddhist Sect, but, I am the same. I am freely a Demon King, who could bind me?” The Peacock Great Bright King shouted as the light of the Demon Core blazed in its hands.

”If that’s the case, let’s decide victory then!” The Young Buddha saw that persuading the Peacock Great Bright King was futile and said.

Demon Core!

Within a Demon Beast, from birth, a Demon Core begins to slowly gather. Certainly, the strength of a Demon Core is rooted in the power of the Demon Beast’s cultivation. The stronger the Demon Beast, the stronger its Demon Core. Stored within the Demon Beast’s Dantian, it exists from birth, perhaps smaller or storing less power. With cultivation, the Demon Core becomes stronger.

It could be said, the power within a Demon Beast’s Demon Core is incredibly formidable, much greater than the usual power displayed by Demon Beasts, the difference between heaven and earth. For a formidable Demon King like the Peacock Great Bright King, the power of its Demon Core is enough to destroy heavens and earth, an astonishing force.

Buzz!

The Peacock Great Bright King attacked. The power emitted from its Demon Core turned into a beam of light, slashing towards the Young Monk, breaking everything along its path. The Void shattered, unable to mend, a terrifying might brought the Young Monk’s face to solemnity for the first time!

”Buddhist Law is everywhere!” The Young Monk intoned softly with hands clasped.

Suddenly, as the Young Monk spoke, a beam of Buddha Light descended from the heavens, enveloping the Young Buddha. Simultaneously, a gigantic Buddha statue manifested behind the Young Buddha, and remarkably emerged from his back, reaching out a massive Buddha hand towards the Peacock Great Bright King!

Rumble!

Earth-shattering sounds caused the land to tremble. The hundreds of secular people watching from the village were mouth agape with shock, as the Peacock Great Bright King, initially seated atop a high mountain in a human form, astonishingly transformed into a colossal entity, revealing its true Peacock form, covering vast mountain ranges, truly astonishing!

Splatter!

A beam of Buddha Light burst forth from the Peacock Great Bright King’s back, followed by the emergence of the Young Monk, his face pale and body bloodstained, his right arm completely missing, evidently gravely injured. As the villagers saw this Young Monk, the hundreds below were in a state of shock!

”Oh my heavens, this young monk is truly alive!”

”He’s been protecting us all along!”

”He’s injured, and it seems he’s hurt badly!”

”He’s a living Bodhisattva, he’s the Buddha, let’s all pray for him and petition the heavens!”

Hundreds of people knelt down together, chanting ”Buddha” to bless the young monk, praying to the heavens for his survival and healing.

The young monk dug through the Peacock Great Bright King’s back, weakly stepping onto the ground, and then sat cross-legged, his left hand raised in a Buddha gesture, eyes resolute.

The battle between the young Buddha and the Peacock Great Bright King, the outcome of their final strike, is only known by Ye Tianchen aside from them.

Yet, at this moment, Ye Tianchen was dumbfounded, shocked beyond belief for the first time in his life. It took him a long time to regain his composure, but the scene in his mind was unshakable.

”So powerful, the Peacock Great Bright King’s Demon Core strike was enough to destroy everything, while the young Buddha’s all-encompassing Buddhist Law felt omnipresent...” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

Indeed!

At the moment when the Peacock Great Bright King unleashed his strongest strike with his Demon Core, the young Buddha also exerted his most powerful Buddhist Law. The Demon Core transformed into a beam of light, shattering the void, but the Buddha statue behind the young Buddha met it head-on, blocking the beam and absorbing its power within itself, containing it. However, the power of the Demon Core was too strong, and the Buddha statue couldn’t fully contain it, a residual force still cut into the young Buddha’s right arm, instantly shattering it, yet the Peacock Great Bright King was also struck by a Buddha Light, nearly breaking his Divine Thought!

It was an outcome where both were gravely injured, although the young monk ultimately dug through the Peacock Great Bright King’s back, emerging from his belly, it had also cost the young monk greatly, leaving him seriously wounded.

Swoosh!

The young Buddha descended before the hundreds in the village, heavily wounded, but smiling as he said, ”You’re safe now!”

”Buddha!” The hundreds knelt as one, shouting loudly together.

”I am not the Buddha, just a young one wanting to bring salvation to all beings, with compassion,” the young Buddha shook his head.

”Compassion and salvation for all beings, that is the Buddha!” The hundreds shouted in unison.

Swish!

The Peacock Great Bright King transformed back into his human form, feeling near death as he landed outside the village, teeth clenched as he looked at the young Buddha and said, ”You’re strong, I am defeated, but I cannot abide by the agreement, I won’t be a protector for the Buddhist Sect, nor will I convert to Buddhism, I lost, I should die!”

”Ming King, I said, I merely wish for you to convert to Buddhism, not to subdue you, the Buddhist Sect is compassionate, it saves all beings, this is also your destiny!” the young Buddha spoke earnestly.

”Haha, destiny, perhaps it’s my destiny, yet it’s not my nature, I’ll resolve it myself, you can’t stop me!” the Peacock Great Bright King said with a bitter smile.

”Ming King...” the young Buddha tried to persuade again, but if a person wishes to die, who can stop them?

”No need to say more, you’re very strong, only ten years old and possess such power, most importantly, your Mental Realm is far-reaching, even I can’t reach, perhaps you are truly the one to revive the Buddhist Sect enduringly, regrettably, we’re on different paths!” the Peacock Great Bright King shook his head.

”Ming King, though we fought, we’re not enemies, even if we are, we can turn foes to friends!” the young Buddha earnestly spoke.

”Can we? Not everyone has your peaceful Mental Realm, able to view all beings with forgiveness,” the Peacock Great Bright King said with a smile.

At this time, the little girl who handed a small flower to the Peacock Great Bright King at the start, once again walked up to him, looking at him with pure and kind eyes, saying, ”Can, can you not eat us? You’re hurt, heal in our village!” (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.
