Ao Lie Tianzun slightly raised his hand, dispersing Qiongqi's aura.
"The Qiongqi clan is indeed very strong, but to say that they can take on the entire god clan single-handedly is still a bit of an exaggeration."
"My strength, Lei Gong, is no joke. Below the Celestial Emperor, I am invincible. Above the Celestial Emperor, while I can't guarantee a one-for-one exchange, even a Celestial Emperor would have to pay a considerable price to kill me!"
He paused, his expression suddenly turning cold, and said in a deep voice:
"Since you're unwilling to hand over Lei Zechi voluntarily, then let's fight!"
The next moment!
Ao Lie Tianzun raised his hand directly, summoning the world-destroying lightning tribulation.
At this moment, Ling Yun spoke:
"Wait!"
"Don't be a coward, bro! The four of us can definitely beat him to a pulp!"
Qiongqi retorted indignantly, believing that he himself was capable of crushing Ao Lie Tianzun.
Ling Yun said, "It's not that I'm a coward, I just don't want to be schemed against!"
Immediately, Ling Yun looked at Ao Lie Tianzun and transmitted his voice:
"Lei Gong, we've both been tricked by the Buddhists!"
Ao Lie Tianzun withdrew the world-destroying lightning tribulation. He was not a stubborn person and wanted to hear Ling Yun's explanation.
Ling Yun continued:
"Buddha and Kunpeng Immortal Emperor joined forces to try and seize the Thunder Pool from me, but I drove them away."
A Buddhist would definitely tell you that my abilities are average, right?
Ao Lie Tianzun's pupils contracted, and his mind and spirit were shaken!
Buddha and Kunpeng Immortal Emperor, even joining forces, are no match for Ling Yun?!
That must require immense strength.
Fortunately, he stopped in time and was willing to listen to Ling Yun's explanation; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Ling Yun continued to transmit his voice:
"Once you fight me, you will surely be killed by the four of us brothers. At that time, the gods will avenge you and start a war between the Misty Immortal Sect, the Qiongqi Clan, the Great Sage, and the gods."
At that time, the Buddha Universe will take the opportunity to annex the God Universe. After all, Buddha vowed to conquer all the heavens and myriad worlds, and the God Universe was also on his list of conquests. Their true intentions were not to cross the line.
It's about instigating conflict between me and the gods, so that I can destroy them, my future greatest enemy.
This is the situation regarding your death.
After a pause, Ling Yun said coldly:
"If we are not strong enough and you seize the Thunder Pool, the hidden Buddhist powerhouse and his lackeys will ambush you halfway."
While obtaining Lei Zechi, I will frame you for your death, and the consequences will be the same as the previous outcome!
This is the Buddhist calculation!
Upon hearing this, Ao Lie Tianzun felt a chill run down his spine and his body trembled involuntarily; the consequences were far too dangerous.
I never imagined that Buddhists could be so cunning and calculating.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that everything was exactly as Ling Yun had predicted, and that he had almost become the culprit for the destruction of the gods.
Immediately, Ao Lie Tianzun said in a deep voice:
"Even if I go back now, I'll be ambushed by the Buddhists, and the consequences will be the same, except that the Buddhists won't get the Thunder Pool."
Ling Yun nodded slightly. Despite resisting the temptation of Lei Zechi, Ao Lie Tianzun wasn't entirely stupid.
"The Buddhists are really good at scheming. No matter what, it's a dead end. Since Fellow Daoist Lingyun can deduce everything, he must have a way to break the deadlock, right?"
Ling Yun laughed:
"Of course, all you need to do is put on a show!"
Ao Lie Tianzun understood instantly, and immediately raised his hand to unleash the world-destroying lightning tribulation.
Lingyun and his three companions immediately took action.
This battle lasted for a whole month.
Lightning flashed across the sky, obscuring all sight and presence.
The Bodhisattva Jinglian and others who were lying in ambush revealed their triumphant smiles.
"It seems that Celestial Venerable Ao Lie has the upper hand!"
"Once he gets his hands on Lei Zechi, he'll be severely weakened, and we can kill him without lifting a finger!"
"Then everything will be pinned on Ling Yun! Haha... Buddha's plan is truly brilliant!"
"..."
Soon the lightning dissipated, leaving only Ao Lie Tianzun in the starry sky, holding the Thunder Pool in his hand and laughing maniacally.
However, Ao Lie Tianzun's aura was clearly unstable, and he was seriously injured, so it didn't seem like he was acting.
Immediately, Ao Lie Tianzun returned to the Divine Universe.
Bodhisattva Jinglian and others immediately followed, after Ao Lie Tianzun entered the ambush area.
In an instant, three Quasi-Immortal Emperors, more than a dozen Immortal Kings, and dozens of True Immortals, including the Pure Lotus Bodhisattva, surrounded Ao Lie Tianzun.
"As expected, Fellow Daoist Ling's calculations were spot on!"
Ao Lie Tianzun thought to himself, his gaze sweeping coldly over his surroundings.
Is this how all Buddhists behave?
Pure Lotus Bodhisattva smiled slightly, put her hands together in prayer, and said:
"Amitabha Buddha, Your Excellency, for the sake of Buddha's great cause of unifying all the heavens and myriad realms, we have no choice but to sacrifice Your Excellency."
After your death, we will posthumously confer upon you the title of Aoliefo!
"Hmph!" Ao Lie Tianzun snorted coldly, pointing angrily at Jinglian Bodhisattva:
"Is the next step to shift the blame to Ling Yun and then provoke a war between the Divine Race and the Misty Immortal Sect?"
Pure Lotus Bodhisattva said:
"As expected of the Celestial Venerable, you foresaw this."
"Stop pretending! That's right! We're going to conquer the Divine Universe, one of the most prosperous and teeming with life among all the universes."
"Don't waste your breath on him, I still need Lei Zechi to comprehend the origin of thunder magic!"
One of the quasi-immortal emperors said that he was invited by the Buddhists to help them by using the Thunder Pool as bait.
Although Quasi-Immortal Emperors are not as rare as Immortal Emperors, there are at most fifty of them across all the heavens and myriad realms.
The Buddhist sect doesn't have that many quasi-immortal emperors, so they have to ask someone to help.
Bodhisattva Jinglian waved her hand, signaling the quasi-Immortal Emperor not to panic. He was somewhat uneasy. Although Heavenly Venerable Ao Lie was angry, there was no fear in his eyes.
Just now, when they were surrounded, Ao Lie Tianzun was too calm, giving Jinglian Bodhisattva the feeling that he was waiting for them to ambush him.
But Ao Lie's injuries were clearly not faked.
For a moment, Bodhisattva Jinglian had some doubts about whether Lingyun and Qiongqi had actually perished.
If they were to put on a joint performance, the consequences would be quite significant.
After a moment of contemplation, Bodhisattva Jinglian rejected the possibility of acting, because the Buddha's calculations were too profound, and Ao Lie Tianzun and Ling Yun certainly couldn't have deduced them.
Thinking of this, Bodhisattva Jinglian dispelled her doubts and mocked herself for overthinking.
Immediately, he looked at Ao Lie Tianzun and smiled:
"You're deliberately pretending to be calm, you're definitely bluffing, right? You're trying to buy time and wait for the powerful gods to come to your rescue."
"Heh... We've sealed off this spacetime; no one can sense anything here."
Ao Lie Tianzun sneered inwardly, "Are you sure no one can sense anything here?"
"What a joke!" a Buddhist quasi-immortal emperor scoffed.
"How could the ambush location that we set up together be detected by others?"
Lei Gong, considering your great reputation, we don't want you to die too miserably.
Hand over Lei Zechi, then take your own life. Giving you a whole corpse is the greatest respect I can show you!
After receiving a definite reply that no one could spy on or sense this place, Ao Lie Tianzun nodded in satisfaction.
His body recovered instantly, and he was completely unharmed. The month-long battle had only involved him and Ling Yun drinking wine amidst the lightning, while simultaneously studying the origins of lightning magic in the Thunder Pool.
There was no actual fighting; it was just a performance for the Buddhists.
The next moment!
Lingyun, Qiongqi, the Great Sage, and the Golden Lion suddenly appeared.
