Chapter 2772 Buddha of Destiny
Rumble. Just as Yan Guiyi finished his sentence, frightening divine light appeared in the heavens. It seemed that a space passage had opened. Beams of unparalleled divine light shone down, forming a unique path.
Countless people looked up in that direction. A menacing aura emanated from within the passageway. “Who is it?” someone asked in a low voice. Ye Futian and the others also looked up in that direction. Astonishing beams of divine light shot out from the space passage and descended upon the land. Then, existences like ancient gods emerged. Each of them had extremely terrifying auras. Divine power surged from their figures. It was as though ancient gods had descended upon the world.
Di Hao was stunned upon seeing the arriving cultivators. Then, he regained his senses. He revealed a strange look as he thought to himself, They actually came here.
The other top figures from the Human Realm also narrowed their eyes in surprise as they stared at the arriving cultivators.
The cultivators looked down from the heavens above and glanced at the top figures present here. Then, they fixed their gazes on Di Hao.
“Human Ancestor has assigned us to come to war,” one of them said. Di Hao nodded slightly. After that, they swept a glance at Ye Futian, Ye Qingyao, and the rest of their group. Immediately, Ye Futian felt a terrifying might pressing down on him.
Many cultivators were puzzled when they sensed this mighty pressure. They had never known of such terrifying figures existing in the Human Realm.
On the other hand, the leaders of the top forces vaguely knew of the existence of these mighty figures. However, their hearts couldn’t help but tremble when they finally saw these figures in person. The leaders from the Human Realm were especially in awe since they could recognize a few faces from the arriving group.
Of course, the top figures from the Emperor-level forces were well-aware of the identity of the arriving group. Since they were part of the Emperor-level forces, they naturally knew some secrets. Nevertheless, such affairs were not widely known even among members of the Emperor-level forces. Even the insiders did not know the details.
Ye Futian also did not have any inside scoop. His brows were tightly knitted as he withstood the might. His facial expression changed slightly. The auras of each of these cultivators were frightening. All of them were near-deities. Since when did such a domineering group exist?
Moreover, they seemed to be from the same force – the Human Realm.
“As expected,” mumbled Supreme Swordlord. He scanned across the stupefied crowd and communicated with Ye Futian via transmitted thoughts, “Be careful. They are all monstrous figures from the older generation. Although they appear young, they have been cultivating for ages. They have gone into seclusion for many years. That’s why their names no longer ring a bell to the people in the world even though they are still alive. From the looks of it, they have indeed become the hidden triumph cards of the Emperor-level forces. The world has undergone rigorous changes, yet they have actually remained hidden until now.”
Before this, Ye Futian had heard of similar rumors – the cultivation world had given birth to countless cultivators. Many of them had perished, and only a few of them had cultivated to the strongest plane. Nevertheless, even though they were rare occurrences, there were still numerous old monstrous figures alive.
Ye Futian had encountered a few of them before this. These ancient cultivators rarely appeared in public and did not come in contact with anyone. They left right after they seized the relics. Cultivators from the older generation like Supreme Swordlord could not even be considered ancient. There existed cultivators even more senior than them.
From the looks of it, these Emperor-level forces had kept some mighty cultivators hidden as their trump cards.
These ancient cultivators were most likely under the direct jurisdiction of Human Ancestor. Obviously, Di Hao was not qualified to command them. Therefore, he was shocked when he saw them.
“Does the Human Realm plan to have a showdown?” Yan Guiyi glanced at the ancient cultivators who had just made their appearance. He showed no sign of fear. His eyes were ablaze with intense battle intent. He wanted to experience firsthand exactly how potent these ancient cultivators were. Were they more robust than the cultivators ranked on the current Near-Deity List?
Rumble. An ultimate might suddenly loomed over everyone. A terrifying storm churned above the cultivators. A dark phantasm appeared and covered a part of the sky.
“It is the Dark Sovereign!” exclaimed the various cultivators as they looked up into the sky. The powerful pressure swept down. However, no one spoke. Only intense pressure filled the skies.
Then, terrifying auras appeared one after another. There were a few auras in the sky. Right now, the various cultivators understood that the wills of the Great Emperors had arrived. If they wanted to, they could offer insights into everything that happened here at any given moment.
“Amitabha!”
Just then, a golden beam of the Light of Buddha shone down and illuminated this part of the sky. An ancient buddha made his appearance. He came from another world.
Unlike other Buddha Lords, who were relatively chubbier, this ancient buddha was small and gaunt. His face looked extremely old, as though he was close to death. However, he emanated a solemn aura. When the various buddhas from the Western World spotted him, they bowed and paid their respects to him. Even the arrogant Medicine Buddha Lord bowed and greeted the arriving Buddha Lord.
“Greetings, Buddha Lord,” the various buddhas said as they placed their palms together politely. This caused the various cultivators to narrow their gazes. They shifted their eyes towards the Buddha Lord. They were astonished at the other party’s status. Who was this Buddha Lord?
Very few people had seen this Buddha Lord before. Nevertheless, a Buddha Lord greeted by the various buddhas would undoubtedly be of high prestige.
This small and skinny Buddha Lord similarly bowed back at the various buddhas. From his merciful gaze, one could not tell that he was a powerful Buddha Lord.
“He is a Buddha Lord,” uttered some of the top figures of the other forces as they recognized him. They also greeted him with a bow. Even Donghuang Diyuan greeted the Buddha Lord and bowed. She was extremely polite. Clearly, this Buddha Lord had extraordinary standing. Donghuang Diyuan knew who he was and showed him great respect.
He is Buddha of Destiny! Ye Futian secretly thought to himself.
He similarly bowed slightly and greeted the Buddha Lord. Buddha of Destiny was an ancient buddha of the highest level in the World of Buddhism. His status was extraordinary. He was not fond of battles and had never participated in the conflicts of the world. He had devoted his time to comprehending Buddhist techniques. He succeeded in proving his Way and became Buddha of Destiny.
Buddha of Destiny cultivated one of the six Buddhist Superpowers, Omniscient. Ordinary people could not cultivate this superpower. Even in the World of Buddhism, aside from Buddha of Destiny, no one else had ever successfully cultivated Omniscient.
That was the case for even The Buddha.
“I never imagined that you would appear on the battlefield, Master. What brings you here?” asked Yan Guiyi. As a demonic cultivator, he was powerful and overbearing. He could not stand the World of Buddhism and even called them jacka*ses. He believed they were hypocritical.
However, even Yan Guiyi showed some level of respect towards Buddha of Destiny and called him Master.
“I came to quell this war,” said Buddha of Destiny. He lowered his head slightly. He did not have the arrogance of a Buddha Lord and appeared extremely humble.
“We are heading towards war among the Six Realms. How do you plan to quell it, Master?” inquired Yan Guiyi. Everyone understood that the Six Realms, which had been at peace for centuries, were about to be thrown into war. No one could prevent it from happening. It was inevitable.
“The heavens and the earth are about to undergo a huge change. It’s unwise to increase the number of deaths unnecessarily,” Buddha of Destiny declared while putting his hands together.
