Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1226 - I'm so proud of myself, let me put my hands on my hips first

The connection between the Abyss and the Three Realms evidently caused disbelief among everyone present.

For countless years, the Abyss had receded into the distance.

It was a world even Saints couldn't touch; even Dao Ancestor hadn't been able to find it.

But now,

The Abyss, which had almost cost Dao Ancestor his life in the Primordial World, was connected just like that?

And it was happening during the Journey to the West, when the Three Realms and Six Paths were at their weakest!

The Queen Mother merely sighed.

"This day was inevitable. Chu Hao, no one can blame you for this."

"It's fate. The Three Realms are destined for this calamity."

"It's good enough that you returned safely."

The Jade Emperor also nodded.

"Let's not dwell on the matter of the Abyss Gate. My dear subject, it's good you could return."

The Queen Mother and Jade Emperor both sat down simultaneously.

It wasn't because they had any means to stop the Abyss.

Rather, it was because they had no ability to interfere with the major event of the Abyss Gate, so they both felt it was best to ignore it for now.

The problem was immense, and panicking wouldn't help.

Even Dao Ancestor couldn't connect the Abyss to the Three Realms. It was absolutely impossible for Chu Hao to achieve this alone.

Dao Ancestor wasn't a fool. If it could truly be stopped, the Abyss Gate wouldn't exist.

Gah, gah, gah, gah!

Receiving Buddha's expression was as ugly as could be.

He knew Chu Hao definitely didn't have the ability to do this, but why, of all times, did the Abyss Gate have to open now!

Could an anomaly truly do as they pleased?

He actually escaped this calamity by exploiting the Abyss's plot against the Three Realms and Six Paths!

He even turned the tables on the Western Paradise?!

Receiving Buddha: I've never seen this before!

The Jade Emperor looked at Receiving Buddha with a relaxed expression, his face gentle and carrying a hint of amiability.

"Saint Receiving Buddha, no one wants something like this to happen."

"As a Saint, you should consider the common people of the Three Realms, rather than going against your own promise and attacking a righteous Law Enforcement Prison God."

"I believe your primary objective now should be to return to the Western Paradise and save the world's people. That would be truly benevolent."

"We are all thinking of the world. Why bother with these petty squabbles?"

Receiving Buddha: Where have I heard these words before? Aren't these the words I used to mock the Heavenly Court just now?!

The Jade Emperor wore a playful smile.

The Heavenly Court members present all wore relaxed expressions, some even secretly delighted.

Receiving Buddha had just said in front of everyone, "If Chu Hao can live, what does it matter if I let him go?"

As a dignified Saint, his words carried the force of law, and he couldn't easily break his oath.

Moreover, as the Jade Emperor said, Receiving Buddha should now be concerned about the impact the Abyss Gate would have on the Western Paradise.

That was the most fatal thing for the Western Paradise now,

And it was what the Heavenly Court was most happy to see.

Of course, no one showed any gloating; instead, everyone wore a compassionate expression.

Each and every one of them was filled with benevolence.

"Yes, Saint Receiving Buddha, you also said just now that the safety of the Three Realms and Six Paths is paramount. The Western Paradise is now in imminent danger; it's not appropriate for you to be drinking tea here."

"I suggest you return now. The Abyss is staring at you; if you don't go back, the Western Paradise might be gone before you know it."

"I suggest you accept the suggestion above."

They had him completely under control.

After all, Receiving Buddha had made an oath.

Saints would suffer backlash for breaking oaths, so Receiving Buddha wouldn't attack, otherwise he would only harm himself.

After all, Saints always valued their own condition. A Saint's safety was above all else, and even killing Chu Hao wouldn't be done at the expense of their own state.

However, everyone still underestimated Receiving Buddha's desire to kill Chu Hao.

Just when everyone thought Chu Hao was basically safe,

Receiving Buddha suddenly looked at Chu Hao, his eyes filled with rage.

At this moment, Receiving Buddha had lost his composure. He roared:

"It must be you, you孽畜! Although I have no evidence, it must be you, you beast, causing trouble!"

"You actually brought the Abyss to the Three Realms! You disregard the lives of the world's creatures! You great demon! If I don't eliminate you today, how can I face the world's people!"

"Die!"

Receiving Buddha erupted, disregarding his identity as a Saint and forcibly breaking his oath, launching a sudden attack on Chu Hao!

Even more, in order to kill Chu Hao, Receiving Buddha even unleashed his magic treasure, the Receiving Treasure Banner!

A Saint was dealing with a Fourth-Rank Quasi-Saint, yet he had to use all his strength and even risk backlash.

One could imagine how strong Receiving Buddha's determination to kill Chu Hao was!

At this moment, the Saint moved, and the world changed color!

The air in the entire Hall of Universal Brightness seemed to have solidified.

Everyone in the Heavenly Court was unable to move under this terrifying pressure!

No one could react.

After all, no one had expected that a dignified Saint would disregard everything and attack Chu Hao. Had this ever happened before?

But even if everyone reacted, it was futile.

This was a Saint, an supreme Saint!

Even the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, under the Saint's pressure, felt as if they were carrying the earth and couldn't make any movements.

Even though they were Quasi-Saint peaks, the strongest beneath a Saint,

However, without becoming a Saint, one was ultimately an ant!

Everyone could only watch Chu Hao helplessly.

They all knew that Chu Hao was about to die, and there was no other possibility.

Having just escaped the encirclement of the Western Paradise led by Zhunti, who would have thought that Receiving Buddha would disregard everything and assassinate Chu Hao!

Out of the tiger's den, into the dragon's pool!

Everyone was extremely grieved, but helpless.

Even Chu Hao hadn't reacted at all.

He could only watch Receiving Buddha rush towards him.

Chu Hao could feel the immense power from Receiving Buddha.

That was the power unique to a Saint, and at this moment, Chu Hao felt as if he was facing the pressure of the entire Three Realms and Six Paths.

The power of a Saint was self-evident.

If Chu Hao was alone today, even if he used all his means, he would still be unable to escape death.

It was a pity…

How could Chu Hao do such unprepared foolish things?

Chu Hao looked at Receiving Buddha rushing over with a playful expression, and even had the leisure to say to Receiving Buddha:

"Bold Receiving Buddha, a mere Saint, you dare to sneak attack me! You don't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth, and you don't take me seriously at all!"

"Today, I'll let you taste the iron fist of justice!"

The scene was silent.

Everyone stared at Chu Hao with wide eyes, unable to imagine that Chu Hao would dare to say such words when death was imminent?!

This was arrogance's mother opening the door for arrogance; he was arrogant to the extreme!

Only Chu Hao calmly stood with his hands on his hips.
