Chapter 300: An Explosive Strategy

Chapter 300: An Explosive Strategy

The newly renamed Ksitigarbha Yama Palace had tens upon tens of chains descending down from the flying palace and embedding themselves onto Youdu. The chains exuded a black and gold light, and they were taut with tension.

Tianyi could see that the walls of Youdu were slightly higher than before. He could even see a line of dirt where the ground had once reached.

‘Someone had the same idea as me!’ Tianyi thought.

He waved his arm, and a miniature sun appeared in his hand with eight more suns trailing behind it. Tianyi launched all nine of them.

The suns began to revolve and expand like exploding balloons over a hundred meters long each. As they neared Ksitigarbha Yama Palace, more specifically the lower half where the chains originated from, nine monks wearing kasayas appeared in front of each Stellar Silence Tianyi unleashed.

Their hairless heads gleamed as they clapped their hands together. They gleamed even more when a golden hue covered the Buddhist monk’s entire body, turning their skin bronze.

Some of the monks placed their palms in front of them as if to block the exploding suns, others chopped down, and more punched at Tianyi’s attack.

Tianyi sneered.

He could tell that all nine monks were all in the Mahayana Realm, the Buddhist equivalent of the Immortal Realm. Like the Immortal Realm’s four sub realms: Pathfinding Immortal Realm, Seamless Immortal Realm, Extremity Immortal Realm, and Origin Immortal Realm; the Mahayana Realm was also split into four sub-realms: Sotapanna Realm, Sakadagami Realm, Anagami Realm, and Arahant Realm.

Those in the Mahayana Realm were christened bodhisattvas, and bodhisattvas in the Sakadagami Realm were known as returner bodhisattvas.

The nine returner bodhisattvas were all blown back by Tianyi’s nine Stellar Silences. Even though the Sakagagami Realm was equivalent to the Seamless Immortal Realm, Tianyi wasn’t a normal immortal monarch. He could even be said to be the most abnormal lifeform in all of the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System.Findd new stories at novelhall.com

If he could even be classified as a lifeform.

Over half the chains pulling Youdu had been destroyed, but Tianyi’s attack didn’t finish off the nine returner bodhisattvas. Cracks appeared on their bronze bodies, and some even seemed to melt as if they really were made of metal.

As if on prior agreement, the nine Buddhist cultivators all charged at Tianyi, wanting to prevent him from unleashing the same technique. Unfortunately for them, Tianyi didn’t even need time to form his attack or worry about consumption.

Before the nine returner bodhisattvas could even reach the halfway point, Tianyi unleashed his technique again. Nine suns flew towards the nine Buddhist cultivators. For the first time, they showed panic on their faces.

Tianyi didn’t rest on his laurels and unleashed eighteen more Stellar Silences. If nine returner bodhisattvas were just the first ones dispatched, Tianyi didn’t want to know who else they would dispatch. Best to cut the chains and take Youdu away as fast as possible.

Unfortunately, reality did not go as he wanted.

Before the first set of Stellar Silences landed on the nine returner bodhisattvas, nine giant chains erupted from Ksitigarbha Yama Palace and around them. When the Stellar Silences landed, the chains burned red from the heat and cracked, but they didn’t shatter.

Almost immediately afterward, the cracks healed, and the red color receded as the chains cooled. Without missing a beat, the chains flailed and appeared in front of the eighteen other Stellar Silences Tianyi unleashed.

Of the eighteen exploding suns, only three managed to break through the giant chains and land on the chains connecting to Youdu.

At this, Ksitigarbha Yama Palace sent out a hundred more chains that embedded themselves into the walls of Youdu. It also retracted the giant chains containing the nine returner bodhisattvas into itself. After that, it released a brilliant golden radiance.

Anyone basking under the light would hear thousands of Buddhist monks chanting sutras in their ears. They would involuntarily feel a soothing sensation as if they had found their final destinate and converted to Buddhism.

‘Want me to shave my head and become bald? Dream on!’ Tianyi thought as he ignored the alluring sutras ringing in his ears. The golden radiance just made him squint in annoyance.

He spread both arms wide. In his right hand, a miniature sun appeared. Unlike the previous Stellar Silence, numerous rings like those of Saturn spun around it.

In his right hand, a black ball appeared. So black was the color that it seemed to rip a hole in reality. Tianyi hadn’t named the technique yet, but it was a void ball that transformed into a black hole.

With this, Tianyi finally had time to think. He was in a bit of trouble; he wasn’t sure he could defeat Emperor Begonia. No, it should be the Begonia Bodhisattva.

Before he could think of a solution, chains erupted from the Ksitigarbha Yama Palace and wrapped around the cosmic giant’s four limbs. It spread them apart, trapping the giant in midair.

Tianyi wanted to break the cosmic giant’s limbs to break free of the chains, but before he could, the Begonia Bodhisattva took out a tomoe-shaped jewel. He flicked the jewel toward the cosmic giant, and the jewel turned into a silver comet.

The silver comet shattered through the cosmic giant’s stomach and smashed into Tianyi’s chest, puncturing and entering.

Tianyi’s Past Incarnation looked up from Ninth Heaven. His body disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was at the edge of the Nine Heavens System.

He waved his hand, and the silver comet that suddenly appeared lost all power and flew into the Past Incarnation’s hand. Now, upon closer examination, the Past Incarnation nodded. “It’s another half of the Spectral Rising Jewel, but why does the Begonia Bodhisattva have it?”

Outside, the cosmic giant broke free of the chains by discarding its limbs, but it soon regenerated them without any loss. From afar, the Begonia Bodhisattva frowned when he realized that he had lost the connection with the Spectral Rising Jewel in his position.

However, Tianyi wasn’t feeling well either. He had a gaping hole in his chest that led to his inner universe that won’t heal. More chains appeared from the Ksitigarbha Yama Palace that captured the cosmic giant.

He looked down at Youdu. If he tried the same tactic he tried last—ignoring whether the Begonia Bodhisattva would let him repeat the same trick—Youdu would be heavily damaged.

“Youdu Spirit, which part is your core, and what is the minimum requirement to transfer you?”

“What are you planning?” Youdu Spirit asked. Even someone as long-lived and experienced as he did not like the direction this was heading.

“Just tell me,” Tianyi said.

“The core palace and the thousand kilometers around it,” Youdu Spirit said.

“Alright, brace yourself and prepare to discard everything else,” Tianyi said.

“Wait, what are you–” Youdu Spirit never finished as Tianyi already started taking action.

“I hate myself,” Tianyi muttered. “And I need better techniques.”

Rays of radiance burst out from Tianyi’s body and exited through the cosmic giant. The Begonia Bodhisattva frowned as he felt an ominous premonition. Without hesitation, he entered Ksitigarbha Yama Palace.

The moment he did so, Tianyi exploded.

An enormous amount of true qi of primordial chaos erupted and expanded over a hundred thousand kilometers with Youdu at the center. When the Begonia Bodhisattva could see again, he discovered that the Vast Void seemed to have been transported into the sky of the Nether Realm.

Furthermore, he could see nine celestial objects, one sun orbited by eight planets. He didn’t have time to sightsee as numerous tribulation lightning shot towards him.

The Begonia Bodhisattva controlled the Ksitigarbha Yama Palace to flee, but he discovered that it seemed to have been shackled in place by space itself. Stranger still, he could feel the energy fueling the Yama Palace continuously leaking out.

It was as if heaven and earth could not stand Ksitigarbha Yama Palace and wanted to destroy it at all cost.

The Begonia Bodhisattva frowned and made a snap-second decision. The Ksitigarbha Yama Palace entered its highest performance state. He could already feel his qi draining at an extreme rate.

The Ksitigarbha Yama Palace broke free of its shackles and shot straight up. The space in front of it twisted and shattered, revealing the twilight sky of the Nether Realm.

The Begonia Bodhisattva thought he could sigh in relief, but before he could, a bolt of punishment lightning struck the Ksitigarbha Yama Palace, damaging it and attracting more.

He was baffled. He looked down to see where once Youdu had stood, a giant sphere over a hundred thousand kilometers wide had engulfed the whole area.
