Roar!
A dragon's roar exploded, shaking the heavens until they collapsed once more, shaking the earth until it cracked, and shaking the world until it trembled again.
Following this, a colossal entity charged out from the Purification Sun of the Immortal Dao.
This behemoth was entirely holy and silvery-white, its body especially enormous. As it surged forth, it stretched across half the sky like an unbroken mountain range.
Its head resembled a camel, its horns resembled a deer, its eyes resembled a rabbit, its ears resembled an ox, its neck resembled a snake, its belly resembled a clam, its scales resembled a carp, its claws resembled an eagle, and its paws resembled a tiger.
This was a dragon.
A massive, sacred, and radiant dragon.
Gazing at this radiant dragon, Da Xing the Mad Monk could hardly believe his eyes, exclaiming in terror and shock, "Could this be... could this be the Purification Dragon of the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao?"
Yes!
It must be.
Although Da Xing the Mad Monk had never seen the Purification Dragon of the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao, he dared to affirm that the entity charging out from the Purification Sun at this moment was undoubtedly the Purification Dragon.
Legend had it that this Purification Dragon was born from the origin of the Immortal Dao, a dragon that was the incarnation of light, capable of purifying all things in the world, exceedingly fierce and majestic.
However, during the Ancient Era, the origins of the Three Thousand Great Daos gradually withered, and the Immortal Dao was no exception. Consequently, the Purification Dragon fell into a deep slumber, never awakening even when the Ancient Cataclysm occurred.
After the cataclysm, the Present-Ancient Era began. The origin of the Immortal Dao was reborn, and heaven and earth revived. Presumably, the Purification Dragon of the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao would also revive.
But it was only revival.
Before the origin of the Immortal Dao was fully re-derived, the Purification Dragon could not possibly awaken.
In other words, what the Immortal Dao had now summoned was not the true body of the Purification Dragon, but its Wrath Incarnation!
Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! — One dragon roar after another exploded continuously. Immediately after, another Purification Dragon roared forth.
A third, a fourth...
In an instant, a full nine Purification Dragons charged out from the Purification Sun.
Witnessing this scene, Da Xing the Mad Monk trembled all over in fear. He knew that if Gu Qingfeng forcibly embarked on the Path of Humanity to claim the Throne of Humanity, the Immortal Dao would definitely spare no effort to obliterate him.
He just hadn't expected the Immortal Dao to be so utterly insane, summoning a full nine Purification Dragons at once.
Although they were all merely Incarnations of the Purification Dragon, it was still enough to scare one to death, and it was absolutely unprecedented in all of history!
One must know that the Present-Ancient Era had only begun a mere hundred years ago. The origin of the Immortal Dao was still in the process of re-derivation, and the Purification Dragon was still in deep slumber. If the nine Wrath Incarnations of the Purification Dragon were to disperse, the awakening of the Purification Dragon's true body would inevitably be affected. And since the Purification Dragon was born from the origin of the Immortal Dao, any impact on the Purification Dragon's true body would also affect the re-derivation of the Immortal Dao's origin.
Clearly.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Dao, in order to eliminate Gu Qingfeng, no longer cared about such consequences. They had completely thrown caution to the wind. Even if it affected the awakening of the Purification Dragon's true body and the re-derivation of the Immortal Dao's origin, they were willing to pay the price!
Roar! — The nine massive Purification Dragons coiled and soared, charging straight into the heavens, riding the vast clouds, supported by supreme mists. Accompanied by rolling Immortal might, they swung their dragon heads, emitting wave after wave of dragon roars. Their imposing might was immense, boundless, and limitless.
Simultaneously.
In the sky above, Buddha light shone universally.
"A!
Mi!
Tuo!
Fo!"
The four sacred syllables pierced through heaven and earth.
Five colossal Buddha statues descended into the mortal world amidst the universal Buddha light.
The Buddha statue in the east had one face and eight arms, with three eyes above. Its face bore a wrathful and ferocious expression, adorned with a jeweled crown, surrounded by blazing flames.
Its three right hands respectively held a five-pronged vajra arrow, its three left hands each held a five-pronged vajra hook, while the middle two hands formed a mudra over its heart.
This was the Wrath Incarnation of the Wisdom King Trailokyavijaya!
The Buddha statue located in the south had four faces and four arms: one face compassionate, one face wrathful, one face benevolent, one face furious. Its right hand held a vajra pestle, its left hand formed the wish-fulfilling mudra, its other two hands formed the karma mudra. Its body was adorned with majestic flames and resided within a moon disc, seated upon a bluish-green jasper stone throne.
This was the Wrath Incarnation of the Wisdom King Kundali!
The Buddha statue located in the west had six faces, six arms, and six legs, wielding a subjugation sword, sitting in full lotus position, treading upon a six-petaled lotus.
The Buddha statue in the north had three faces and six arms. Its main face displayed five eyes, while the left and right faces each had three eyes. It held a five-pronged vajra pestle, a demon-subduing sword, and a vajra bell, standing upon a double lotus throne.
This was the Wrath Incarnation of the Wisdom King Vajrayaksa!
And in the very center, there was another Buddha statue.
This Buddha wore a crown of five petals, resembling five Buddhas, five Bodhisattvas, and also five skulls. Its entire body was engulfed in raging flames, as if in the utmost fury.
Its three eyes were wide open: one gazing upward, as if binding the deities of the heavens; one gazing downward, as if destroying endless demons; one gazing levelly, as if intimidating all manner of ghosts and monsters. It seemed like the incarnation of the Great Sun, the incarnation of light, the incarnation of divinity.
This was the Wrath Incarnation of the Immovable Wisdom King, also the legendary Wrath Incarnation of Mahavairocana!
Good heavens!
The Wrath Incarnations of the Five Great Wisdom Kings of the Western Heaven Buddha Dao had also appeared!
At this moment, Da Xing the Mad Monk was terrified, agitated, fearful, and also deeply worried.
The Five Great Wisdom Kings of the Western Heaven Buddha Dao, like the Purification Dragon of the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao, had also fallen into deep slumber long ago due to the gradual withering of their origin during the Ancient Era. Da Xing the Mad Monk had never seen the true body of the Purification Dragon of the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao, and similarly, he had never seen the true bodies of the Five Great Wisdom Kings of the Western Heaven Buddha Dao.
After the Present-Ancient Era began, while the origin of the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao was re-deriving, the origin of the Western Heaven Buddha Dao was also re-deriving.
Although the Purification Dragon of the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao had revived, it had not yet awakened. The same was true for the Five Great Wisdom Kings of the Western Heaven Buddha Dao.
If the Wrath Incarnations of the Purification Dragon of the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao were to disperse, affecting the awakening of the Purification Dragon's true body, the origin of the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao would also be affected.
Similarly, if the Wrath Incarnations of the Five Great Wisdom Kings were to disperse, the awakening of their true bodies would be affected, and the re-derivation of the Western Heaven Buddha Dao's origin would also be impacted.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Dao, in order to eliminate Gu Qingfeng, had already thrown all caution to the wind. And the Western Heaven Buddha Dao, in order to eliminate Gu Qingfeng, had clearly also thrown all caution to the wind.
This scene was madness!
A madness that made Ye Tianlan of the Female Sect, Purple Firmament King, the Heir Apparent Disciple, the Third Prince, as well as Da Xing the Mad Monk, White-Browed Holy Monk, and even Su Hua, and even Xuanyuan Wan from the Sacred Ground, forget to breathe, forget everything.
Perhaps none of them had ever seen the true bodies of the Purification Dragon of the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao or the true bodies of the Five Great Wisdom Kings of the Western Heaven Buddha Dao. But they had all seen, more or less, the Wrath Incarnations of the Purification Dragon and the Five Great Wisdom Kings. Even if they hadn't seen them, they had heard of them.
However!
None of them had ever seen the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao summon a full nine Wrath Incarnations of the Purification Dragon just to eliminate one person. Nor had they ever seen the Western Heaven Buddha Dao invite out the Wrath Incarnations of all Five Great Wisdom Kings just to eliminate one person!
And they had certainly never seen the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao and the Western Heaven Buddha Dao simultaneously invite the Wrath Incarnations of the Purification Dragon and the Five Great Wisdom Kings!
Yes.
None of them had ever seen this. Not only had they not seen it, they hadn't even heard of it.
Because in all of heaven and earth, there had never been anyone with the qualification, the capability, to make the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao and the Western Heaven Buddha Dao simultaneously summon the Wrath Incarnations of their great Dao spirits!
