"My God, who is this?"

"Hiss, the Buddhist philosophy on his body has transformed into exquisite runes. Each of these runes contains a certain Buddhist teaching."

"The tower behind him, there... there is the Buddha Heart Tower."

"Is this a statue of a deity who has attained the Buddha's enlightenment?"

"Don't joke around. Even Buddha doesn't have such a grand display. I really don't know what these golden steps represent."

The countless Buddhist cultivators, alerted by the commotion, began to make their way towards the Buddha Heart Tower.

They were eager to know what kind of enlightenment this body, standing tall in the clouds, had attained.

In an instant, clouds moved in all directions, and countless Buddhist cultivators, riding on their escape lights, traversed the void.

At this moment, Kuafu was unaware that his actions had caused a sensation throughout the entire Buddhist world.

"I control the Buddhist path among the three thousand great paths of the primordial chaos, therefore, the great paths of the Buddhist realm have no choice but to show goodwill."

"It actually allowed me to show off a bit unexpectedly."

"Well, if it can bring out the Buddha of this Buddha Heart Pagoda, that would be good too."

Standing with his hands behind his back at the top of the Golden Cloud Steps, Kuafu smiled faintly, his gaze fixed on the four guardians below, and said, "Now do you know why the Buddha is unworthy of being called the Buddha?"

"I have no other intention than to have a friendly exchange with this Buddha."

"But you keep making excuses, calling me a rat and threatening to draw your swords and guns. How ridiculous."

Upon hearing this, the four guardians all wore complicated expressions. They bowed to the sky in unison, feeling the pressure of the Buddha Emperor surrounding Kuafu, making it extremely difficult for them to breathe.

"Your Majesty, we were rude earlier!"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The voices of the four guardians revealed a hint of fear.

This is the newly crowned supreme emperor of the Buddhist realm. Even the Buddha in the tower probably couldn't cause any trouble in front of this emperor.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Above the clouds, one could see golden Arhats, female Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas kneeling and begging for mercy from Kuafu.

Why?

They were cultivators from the Buddha Heart Pagoda. Before they understood Kuafu's identity, they ridiculed and belittled him quite a bit, and even almost obeyed the orders of the Four Protectors to attack Kuafu.

But now I understand, this is the newly promoted Buddha Emperor, a position that means he is an unparalleled powerhouse who will rule the entire Buddha realm!

Therefore, how could these Buddhist practitioners with great supernatural powers dare to be negligent?

"Wherever he goes, all places submit to him; he is truly the strongest being throughout the ages!"

Qi Jianzhu said with obvious admiration.

An Miaomiao put her hands behind her back and smiled, "Sister Jianzhu, when I first followed the sect leader, I was also very surprised, but now I'm almost numb to it."

“In this vast Buddhist realm, there are countless powerful figures and Buddhist cultivators as numerous as carp crossing a river. However, our leader has many identities. He is probably not only the Great Emperor of Buddhism.”

"I am afraid……"

Qi Jianzhu asked nervously, "Anything else?"

An Miaomiao said solemnly, "The Three Thousand Primordial Daos are the ultimate Daos of the universe. All the heavens and myriad realms, the endless stars and the universe, all continue the Dao of Thorn. He has three thousand identities, and each of these identities can make billions of living beings worship him!"

"hiss!"

Qi Jianzhu lowered her voice and said, "Sister Miaomiao, this is terrifying. He is an invincible being."

As the two women whispered to each other, Kuafu's gaze swept over the many Buddhist cultivators kneeling below. With a wave of his hand, a ray of Buddhist light swept out and transformed into thousands of strands of Buddhist energy.

These people immediately stood up from the ground.

"boom!!!"

Just then, the top of the Buddha Heart Pagoda exploded, releasing a golden Buddha light. A golden lotus platform appeared in the void, rotating and releasing thousands of Buddha lights.

"Fellow Daoist is the newly crowned Emperor of Buddhism?"

A gentle male voice rang out, and a handsome man in white appeared out of thin air. He was bald and sat upright on the golden lotus, with a string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand and a Zen staff standing in the air.

This person is the supreme being of the Buddha Heart Pagoda, the Buddha Venerable.

It is precisely because of the Buddha that the monks within this Buddha Pagoda have achieved their current level of Buddhist enlightenment.

"As you can see."

Kuafu looked directly at the Buddha and, after sensing his level of attainment, felt much calmer. The Buddha's level was no match for Kuafu's.

That makes things even easier.

First, subdue the billions of cultivators in the Buddha Heart Tower, then spread it throughout the entire Buddhist realm, and finally subdue the cultivators of a realm, complete the system's mission, and obtain a realm advancement to the fifth level of the Venerable Emperor Realm.

The Buddha rose from the lotus throne, bowed, and said, "This humble monk pays respects to the Great Emperor of Buddhism!"

"Although Your Majesty is the foremost figure in the Buddhist realm, this humble monk is itching to demonstrate my skills and humbly requests Your Majesty's guidance!"

"Your Majesty, what is your opinion?"

The Buddha's eyes were filled with intertwined light, and golden lotuses surged around his body. He stood barefoot in the void, and lotus petals paved a path for him.

“That’s perfectly fine. One of the reasons I’m here is to discuss Buddhist teachings with you.”

Kuafu, with his hands behind his back, looked at the Buddha statue radiating light into the sky in the distance and laughed, "Secondly, how do we determine the winner and loser?"
