The golden Buddha slowly rose to its feet, its body almost touching the dome of the hall, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.
Its eyes looked down at the crowd.
That gaze held both compassion and indifference, as if looking down upon ants...
"Mortals, how dare you disturb my Dharma assembly and obstruct my Buddhist salvation! Your sins are grave..."
As soon as the golden Buddha finished speaking,
The entire hall trembled, gold dust fell from the ceiling, and the stone slabs on the floor began to crack.
An invisible pressure emanated from the golden Buddha, pressing down on Ye Ran and the others like a tremendous force.
Ye Ran frowned slightly.
The four swords of Zhuxian intertwined behind them.
It directly severed the overwhelming pressure.
But the surrounding air was distorted and deformed, and the stone slabs on the ground behind them were cracking inch by inch.
Many monks were kneeling on the ground.
Caught off guard, they were all crushed by this terrifying pressure, their meridians ruptured, and they collapsed to the ground, convulsing in agony...
"Impressive technique!!" Watching Ye Ran effortlessly obliterate his oppressive aura without a word, the Great Buddha murmured to himself.
Then, his expression grew even more compassionate, and he slowly clasped his hands together.
In an instant, the entire hall seemed to transform into a Buddhist paradise. Countless golden points of light emerged from the void, like twinkling stars or blooming lotuses, creating a magnificent and unparalleled spectacle.
"Cultivation is not easy. Now you have a karmic connection with Buddha. Take refuge in Buddha, eliminate your sins, see your true self, enter the Buddhist path, and you will find liberation from the endless cycle of reincarnation..."
The golden Buddha's voice suddenly became incredibly gentle, and one could feel the profound Buddhist wisdom emanating from it alone.
But within that gentle, soothing voice lay a subtle, almost imperceptible, allure...
In an instant, golden light shone brightly around the Buddha.
That golden light was not just light, but more like a living entity, flowing slowly, permeating every corner, and invading the mind of everyone.
Slowly,
After feeling this soft golden light,
The monks in the entire hall, whose eyes were already filled with excitement, gradually had their gazes replaced by a kind of fanaticism...
"I take refuge... I take refuge..."
All the monks, including those who were seriously injured,
At this moment, like controlled puppets, they all lay on the ground, hands clasped together.
They shouted in unison, their voices perfectly synchronized.
The sound echoed through the magnificent hall, and an inexplicable sense of eeriness crept into everyone's hearts...
Under the influence of this eerie atmosphere,
Qin Guangxiao, whose strength was weak, began to look unsteady.
His body involuntarily took a step forward, and his hands slowly began to clasp together, as if he were about to kneel before the golden Buddha...
Just as he was about to kneel down,
Ye Ran strode forward and gently patted the back of his head with his palm.
The confusion in Qin Guangxiao's eyes vanished instantly, and he collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness...
After dealing with Qin Guangxiao
With a flick of his finger, Ye Ran unleashed a sword aura that snaked like a silver serpent, precisely piercing the brow of Duobao, who was still struggling against the seductive music.
Duobao's body trembled, the confusion in his eyes vanished, and his mind returned to clarity...
"Duobao, take Qin Guangxiao and leave here first," Ye Ran said in a deep voice, his gaze never leaving the golden Buddha.
Duobao glanced solemnly at the golden Buddha that had almost captivated him.
Knowing he couldn't be of much help here, he then cupped his paws in a gesture of respect.
"Take good care of yourself..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted Qin Guangxiao up.
A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a spatial rift tore open in the void...
"Why are you leaving before you've even taken refuge?!"
Just as Duobao was about to take Qin Guangxiao away, the golden Buddha roared angrily.
Countless golden rays of light shot towards the spatial rift like arrows, attempting to seal it off.
However,
Just as the golden light was about to envelop the spatial rift,
Suddenly, a five-colored light descended from the sky.
With a power no less than that of the golden light, it directly blocked the golden light.
In a short time,
Multicolored light intertwined and collided with golden light, emitting a deafening explosion that rippled through the void.
Many monks, caught in the aftershocks of the collision, were instantly annihilated before they could even react...
And in that very instant,
Holding Qin Guangxiao, Duobao leaped into the spatial rift without hesitation, disappearing in the blink of an eye...
"Who dares to obstruct the affairs of my Buddhist sect?!"
Seeing their attack blocked,
The golden Buddha's eyes shone brightly, and its voice was devoid of any compassion, replaced by boundless rage.
At this moment, Wang Xianghe stepped forward, his body shimmering with multicolored light, appearing both god and demon:
"Friend, your opponent is me..."
"Overestimating yourself!!"
The golden Buddha didn't waste any words with him.
Two thick, golden beams shot from his eyes, as thick as pillars of heaven, aimed directly at Wang Xianghe.
Wherever the golden light passed, the void twisted and deformed, as if even time itself was frozen...
Faced with the attack of the golden Buddha,
Wang Xianghe neither dodged nor evaded, but instead unleashed a five-colored radiance from his palm, like a blooming lotus of the soul, rising towards the golden light.
The instant the two collided, the entire hall was struck as if by lightning; the walls and ceiling above the impact of the energy collision were completely annihilated.
Everything was exposed to the sunlight.
After blocking the golden Buddha's attack
Wang Xianghe remained motionless in place, waving his hand towards the golden Buddha:
"Stop playing these childish tricks; show us your real skills..."
Jin Fo, sitting opposite Wang Xianghe, stared at him with a solemn expression, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
After a long pause, the golden Buddha incredulously uttered three words:
"World-destroying level..."
"Is it that hard to guess??" Wang Xianghe looked at Jin Fo mockingly. "Have you lost your mind from listening to these idiotic monks who flatter you every day??"
Jin Fo ignored Wang Xianghe's mockery, still finding it unbelievable:
"This is impossible, how could the human race possibly break through to the world-destroying level..."
"Humans??" Wang Xianghe narrowed his eyes upon hearing Jin Fo's words.
"So, you're not human anymore..."
As he spoke,
Wang Xianghe walked towards the golden Buddha.
With each step he took, a colorful lotus flower would appear beneath his feet.
After each step,
Wang Xianghe's surroundings began to transform into a vibrant, multicolored world.
Almost instantly,
The whole world seemed to have been split in two.
Half of it is colorful, and the other half shines with golden light.
On equal footing,
"They're not even human, yet they're behind this golden Buddha, devouring our flesh and blood, profiting from our wealth, and enjoying our faith??"
Wang Xianghe's voice was icy, and his tone was arrogant.
He pointed to the head of the golden Buddha.
He said it word by word:
"No matter what you are."
"Get the hell off this altar!!"
