Chapter 2364 Heavenly Buddha Pagoda

Ye Bufan naturally wasn't seeking death, nor was he acting rashly; he already had a complete plan in his mind beforehand.

It wasn't his first time dealing with the Demonic Sect, so he was already very familiar with Devilish Qi.

Before entering the Formation, he quickly transformed the Chaotic True Qi within his body to resemble Devilish Qi.

Chaos gives birth to all things, which naturally includes Devilish Qi, and he guessed it would surely succeed.

To be safe, he also held the Demon Refining Bottle in his hand, ready to quickly drain the Devilish Qi around his body if anything unexpected happened.

As long as he controlled it properly, taking a small portion of so much Devilish Qi wouldn't attract anyone else's attention.

Upon entering the Formation, his vision darkened, and he was completely enveloped by Devilish Qi.

As expected, the Devilish Qi didn't launch any attacks on him, as if he were one of them; it seemed his simulation method was effective.

Ye Bufan breathed a sigh of relief and put away the Demon Refining Bottle.

However, he didn't act rashly; he stood quietly at the edge of the Formation, tentatively sweeping his Divine Sense outwards.

Inside the Formation, the Devilish Qi's devouring effect on Divine Sense was much weaker than outside, but it could only extend to a range of about ten meters.

This was already enough; as long as he didn't encounter Demonic Sect members at close range, he began to tentatively walk towards Tianlong Temple.

At the same time, he remained extremely vigilant, as there were powerful Cultivators from the Demonic Sect within this Formation; the crow-voiced person from before was at least at the Great Ascension Stage, and encountering them would definitely be big trouble.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth; the Demonic Sect members must have been very confident in the Dark Night Demon Formation, not believing anyone could enter, so their vigilance was extremely lax.

Although Ye Bufan encountered a few people, they were either resting or chatting, and didn't notice him at all, allowing him to easily bypass them.

About a quarter of an hour later, he finally penetrated the obstruction of the black mist and arrived in front of a pagoda.

This was precisely Tianlong Temple's treasure, the Celestial Buddha Pagoda, which had seven stories and emitted a faint golden Buddha light from top to bottom, protecting the entire pagoda body.

However, at this moment, the light appeared incredibly dim, as if it could extinguish at any moment.

At the same time, the surrounding black Devilish Qi surged like a tide, overwhelming the Celestial Buddha Pagoda.

If a solution to the current predicament wasn't found quickly, it would only be a matter of time before it was breached.

Ye Bufan came to the pagoda, first scanning it with his Divine Sense, then reaching out to touch it.

This Celestial Buddha Pagoda was indeed as Monk Faxiang had said, absolutely an existence no less than a Divine Artifact; even at this moment, its extraordinary nature could be felt, but its power had not been fully unleashed.

It was like the Dragon Tooth in his hand; even if it was a Divine Artifact, if one's cultivation was insufficient, the power that could be exerted would be limited.

Finally, he began to seriously study the Celestial Buddha Pagoda; the Buddha light currently emanating from the pagoda was a layer of Restriction, blocking everything outside, and he needed to find a way to get in.

After observing for a while, he became even more shocked; this pagoda was indeed no ordinary item, and if it weren't already on the verge of collapse under the attack of Devilish Qi, it would have taken him a great deal of effort to get in.

But now the Restriction was getting thinner and thinner, like an eggshell, with the danger of breaking at any time, making it much simpler for him to enter with his mastery of Formations.

Just as he was about to tear open the Restriction and enter, someone behind him asked, “What are you doing here?”

Ye Bufan's heart skipped a beat; he turned around and saw a tall middle-aged man standing behind him.

Undoubtedly, this was a member of the Demonic Sect, whose cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of the Void Tempering Realm.

He had been too focused on studying the Celestial Buddha Pagoda just now and hadn't noticed the other person approaching.

And that person's Divine Sense apparently couldn't even scan a ten-meter radius here, only discovering his presence when they got close.

Ye Bufan quickly regained his composure: “Nothing, I just came here to look; I'll snatch the first merit after this pagoda is breached… ”

“Here, everything must follow the Grand Elder's arrangements; how could you snatch the first merit?”

The man suddenly uttered an 'eh' sound, revealing a look of astonishment, “That's not right, what kind of clothes are you wearing? And I've never seen you before…”

This person sensed something was wrong but was still somewhat unsure, as no one but Demonic Sect members could enter this Dark Night Demon Formation.

Seeing that this guy had recognized him, Ye Bufan didn't want to cause trouble, so to be safe, he directly used his trump card, the Divine Sense Blade.

His Mental Energy was now comparable to that of a Great Ascension Stage powerhouse, and he had the advantage of a sneak attack; the opponent had no ability to resist whatsoever, and a tearing pain came from his Sea of Consciousness, after which he was knocked unconscious by a single tap.

Ye Bufan directly grabbed the guy, then opened a crack in the Celestial Buddha Pagoda's Restriction and flashed inside.

Outside the grand Formation, a group of Cultivators, led by Qian Wuji and Ximen Jiayin, looked up at the Celestial Buddha Pagoda before them.

At this moment, the Buddha light emanating from the pagoda grew dimmer and dimmer, like an oil lamp flickering in a strong wind, in danger of extinguishing at any moment.

Li Qingyang sighed, “It seems Tianlong Temple is truly facing a great disaster this time.”

Qian Wuji said, “It seems the destruction of Tianlong Temple is a foregone conclusion. Everyone, get ready; we'll fight to the death with the Demonic Sect remnants later.”

Ximen Jiayin frowned and said nothing; she hadn't been in contact with Ye Bufan for long, but she knew the Young man's temperament, that he generally wouldn't do things without confidence.

Now that he had entered the Dark Night Demon Formation, Tianlong Temple should still have a glimmer of hope.

Yuan Tiancheng sneered, “That kid just now wanted to break the Formation by luck; he's probably already been swallowed by the Devilish Qi, with not even bone fragments left.”

Everyone present echoed his sentiment; in their view, Ye Bufan must have already died within the grand Formation.

Nalan Yujia and the others, however, were completely unfazed; they had strong confidence in Ye Bufan.

Inside the Celestial Buddha Pagoda, hundreds of monks of all sizes from Tianlong Temple were gathered.

Some of these people looked despairing, some resentful, and some were already severely injured, slumped on the ground.

At the back of the pagoda body, three old monks in yellow robes stood in a row.

The first monk pressed both palms into a groove, while the two behind him pressed their palms onto the life gate acupoint of the person in front, continuously transmitting their True Qi.

It was these three who were driving the Celestial Buddha Pagoda with all their might, but their bodies were already drenched in sweat, and a rising mist emanated from their heads, clearly indicating they had reached the Realm of exhaustion.

These three were the Abbot of Tianlong Temple, Xuwu, and the other two Grand Elders, Xukong and Xuzhu; all three were at the Dongxu Peak cultivation, but even their combined efforts were now unsustainable.

The people next to them looked anxious, but their cultivation was not as pure as these three, so they couldn't help even if they wanted to.

Just as everyone was at a loss, a figure suddenly flashed, and a Young man appeared, holding a Black-Clothed Man in his hand.

“Who are you? How did you get in?”

A tall monk stepped out and slammed a palm forward, “Demonic Sect Prodigy, die for me!”

It was no wonder he misunderstood; according to normal human thinking, apart from the monks of Tianlong Temple, only members of the Demonic Sect could be here; there was no third possibility.
