But this was just the beginning. Facing the Heavenly Dragon Monk Yinghai, who was just standing there, was Donghuang, whose very presence began to erode the divine realm. Yinghai could only lift up Buddhist treasures one by one to resist the onslaught.
Even though the opponent didn’t display any towering momentum or towering divine semblance, his subtle gestures brought a pressure to Yinghai that far surpassed those of the capital city god.
Yinghai had once been quite proud, thinking that even if he were to face a human immortal from the Taoist sect, he could retreat calmly. However, now, he was barely holding his ground against a seemingly ghostly immortal descended from the netherworld.
Howl—
The mighty Heavenly Dragon let out a mournful cry. Under Yinghai’s control, the Heavenly Dragon exhibited its enormous body of nearly a hundred yards, rushing towards Donghuang, only to be slapped on his crown by the floating palm of Donghuang. From head to tail, this majestic Buddhist Heavenly Dragon disintegrated into golden light.
This significant blow, unable to withstand a single palm of the powerful enemy, was enormous for the monk of Heavenly Dragon Temple. He was not oblivious to the fact that from the beginning, his enemy had not considered him a worthy opponent and was merely toying with him.
But it was precisely this contempt that he needed. His real aim was to get Feng Qing’an away from this terrifying aberration.
Having such an objective, he had no choice but to fight to the death. Otherwise, he would not stubbornly risk reincarnation to fight such an overpowering non-human.
This creature was not something current him could subjugate. He only wanted to stick to his beliefs. If he couldn’t wake up a member of the human race bewitched by demons with words, he would naturally resort to using the Divine Power to forcefully take them away.
Unfortunately, even with such casual indifference to him, he could hardly find an opportunity to take Feng Qing’an away from there, even though he stood within the realm supported by the Seven-treasure Gold Crest.
“Demon!”
The three-headed, six-armed embodiment, now reduced to a head and a single-arm, was extremely irritated. However, he was not given another chance to plan any further. A terrifying creature has appeared, standing on a Grade Nine Black Lotus, laughing lightly—causing the entire Buddhist realm to become gloomy under her smile.
It was not a mere description, but the fact was that the originally vast and glorious Buddhist realm was now completely corroded by darkness, with bone-chilling Yin Qi filling every corner.
“You, audacious!”
Yinghai’s eyes widened in anger. At this moment, he finally sensed something was wrong. The seemingly careless contemptuous actions hid deeper machinations. The opponent actually wanted to snatch his Seven-treasure Gold Crest. But he understood that it was too late.
In a very short time, what seemed impossible, and even inconceivable, had happened. His control over the Seven-treasure Gold Crest had been diminished to an unbelievable extent.
“Shut up!”
Donghuang looked indifferent, watching the monk whose golden body had been smashed into nothing but a head. The moment she saw the Seven-Treasure Gold Crest, she set her eyes on it.
To seize this infinitely useful Buddhist treasure, she held back when she made her move. If she killed the monk outright, this sentient Buddhist treasure would fly away on its own, and it would be difficult to keep it even if she wanted to force it to stay.
This Buddhist treasure, which had given birth to its own realm, could easily traverse the void. Even if it lost its owner, it could easily escape on its own with its autonomous judgment. Therefore, it would be difficult to keep.
Thump~
A mouthful of golden blood sprayed out of the golden embodiment that was left with a single head. Feng Qing’an was somewhat amazed to see what this monk did; the amount of blood spraying was enough to demonstrate the monk’s vigorous vitality.
“Master Wind!”
Looking at Feng Qing’an, who was standing aside with “indifference” watching him fall into such a miserable predicament, a moment of resentment sprouted in Yinghai’s heart, which he quickly quelled. He quietly recited a Buddhist prayer, and then a dazzling Buddha Light burst from his chest.
“May you prepare yourself!”
“Huh?!”
Feng Qing’an was quite astonished to look at the Heavenly Dragon Monk who disappeared into the dazzling Buddha Light. But his surprised gaze quickly fell on the Seven-treasure Gold Crest that stayed behind, not having gone with the Heavenly Dragon Monk.
“Did you steal this Buddhist artifact?”
Feng Qing’an quickly realized what Donghuang had just done. She seemed to be casually playing with her opponent, but secretly, she had snatched the valuable Buddhist treasure from him.
“Yes!”
Donghuang lightly beckoned with her hand and the partly tangible Seven-treasure Gold Crest floated over. Although her reunion with Feng Qing’an was interrupted by such a bald-headed monk, causing her mood to drop significantly.
However, his opponent had presented such a treasure, blowing away her slight discordance, like smoke dispersing into the clouds. If she could attain such treasures this easily, she wouldn’t mind repeating the process a few more times.
“You stole their treasure, shouldn’t you at least keep the man they’ve sent? ”
Although it appears to be the monk’s safety that is being taken into consideration, Feng Qing’an despised the person who would intrude on his affairs thoughtlessly, especially when he had already made it clear that he opposed it.
“I can’t keep him.”
Donghuang admires the Seven-treasure Gold Crest while responding to Feng Qing’an’s doubt.
“You can’t keep him? ”
The look on Feng Qing’an’s face became somewhat strange. He saw Heavenly Dragon’s monk was nearly beaten to death by Donghuang. It was clear that Donghuang had held back to let the monk live.
“Then why did you make your move initially? ”
“It was mostly an attempt to test him out. After one move, I realized that I couldn’t kill this monk.”
Donghuang said calmly, seeing Feng Qing’an’s doubt, he continued to explain,
“This monk is no ordinary being. He has been left with many life-saving methods by his predecessors. I can severely injure him, even seize his buddhist treasures, but if I threaten his life, it’s time for me to take you back to the Underworld.”
“This monk claims to come from Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple, have you heard of it, Donghuang?”
Having understood, Feng Qing’an proceeded to ask.
“Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple?”
Upon hearing the question, Donghuang pondered for a moment before shaking his head,
“I have never heard of it, perhaps it was a major Buddhist temple established after I reincarnated. The fact that they bequeath their disciples with such great treasures and many supportive measures implies the strength of this temple. Is this monk a Buddha’s disciple from the Heavenly Dragon Temple?”
“According to his own words, he is not, but there is a senior brother stronger than him!”
As he spoke, Feng Qing’an unconsciously touched his cheek, looking at the monk’s reaction, this so-called Buddha’s disciple seemed to resemble him closely.
Perhaps that’s why the monk had been following him until now, sticking to him like a bone burrower, impossible to simply shake off. And then today, facing a great disaster.
“He’s not a Buddha’s disciple? The temple’s heritage seems to be on the upswing despite that?”
Donghuang was slightly astounded upon hearing that, then he couldn’t help but praise. His earlier palm strike was just a probe, but for someone at that stage to survive his attack shows the person is no Buddha’s disciple but may be a Taoist.
“I don’t know!”
Feng Qing’an shook his head and looked at the Seven-treasure Gold Crest held by Donghuang,
“Since the monk’s temple has such a backstory, are you still going to steal his important treasure? Are you not afraid that the strong people behind the monk might come to cause trouble?”
“I left him alive and took one of his treasures. If the monk from the Heavenly Dragon Temple is reasonable, he should thank me!”
Donghuang said indifferently. It has been difficult for the Ghost King of the Underworld to descend to the human world, let alone beings like her. She was able to descend due to special circumstances. But inversely, this is also true that the stronger the being, the harder it is to cross realms.
“What if they are unreasonable? Well!”
“In the end, you just didn’t want to kill him, right?”
Feng Qing’an touched his chin.
“It’s too troublesome to kill him. Taking his buddhist treasure is enough. Figures like this monk have a great destiny. Killing them could lead to heavy backlash. Conversely, like me, I seize their treasures without any karma. I can get away with the benefits!”
