Chapter 249: Victorious Fighting Buddha, Slaying the Immortal Emperor

"Who exactly are you?" the Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon said in a deep voice, his tone filled with anger.

Han Jue pressed him, "If you don't speak, then go to your death!"

The billions of stars deep within his Soul began to tremble violently, erupting with a terrifying sense of oppression that engulfed the Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon.

"Wait! I'll speak! I'll speak!" the Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon cried out in terror, shivering with fear.

Han Jue withdrew his pressure and stared at the Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon.

[The Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon has developed hatred toward you; current hatred degree is 3 stars.]

Han Jue ignored the hatred notification before him and waited for the Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon to speak.

The Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon calmed his emotions and said, "I come from the Heavenly Court…"

"Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon!" Han Jue interrupted him with a shout, causing him to tremble all over.

The Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon was frightened.

How could this person know his name?

Han Jue silently pulled up his interpersonal relationships to check the origin of the Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon.

[Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon: cultivation unknown, from the Chaos Forbidden Zone, a Demon Race from the ancient era. Because they were defeated in the Immeasurable Calamity, the Demon Race was expelled from the Heavenly Dao. Later, during another Immeasurable Calamity, they were summoned by the Buddhist Sect. The Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon is connected to the White-Robed Buddha's demonic heart. Because the White-Robed Buddha was about to prove his status as an Emperor, it snuck in from beyond the heavens, wanting to perform Possession on the White-Robed Buddha. Because you stopped this matter, it is filled with hatred toward you; current hatred degree is 5 stars.]

It really is the Demon Race!

Ancient Demon Race?

Why does it feel like the Buddhist Sect has the vibe of a major villain?

The sanctimonious Buddha is actually a demon?

The Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon said with gritted teeth, "I come from the Chaos Forbidden Zone, summoned by the Buddhist Sect's demonic heart to avoid Heavenly secrets, and came to the Mortal Realm…"

Han Jue listened patiently; the information was similar to what he had seen using the System.

Han Jue asked, "What is the relationship between the Buddhist Sect and the Demon Race?"

The Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon said, "I don't know either. From the moment I gained consciousness, I wandered alone in the Chaos Forbidden Zone, waiting for the demonic heart's summons. The Old Ancestor left me very few memories, only telling me to wait. Heavenly Demons like me are countless."

Countless?

No wonder it became a forbidden zone!

Han Jue pondered silently.

"Let me go, and I will never return!" the Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon said seriously.

This tone doesn't sound like a prisoner at all.

Han Jue said gloomily, "You are filled with hatred toward me; it's hard for me to let you go."

"How is that possible! You haven't killed me, I couldn't possibly hate you!"

"But I can feel it."

"I…"

The Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon panicked inwardly.

Why is this person so difficult to deal with?

Han Jue was also hesitating about how to deal with this guy.

Should he just destroy him, or keep him for future use?

[The Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon has developed favorability toward you; current favorability is 1 star.]

Han Jue looked at the line of information that suddenly popped up before him and was stunned.

What a talent!

The Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon said, "I don't have a shred of hatred toward you now, I'm even filled with gratitude!"

Such tough words!

Han Jue was silent.

The Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon appeared calm on the surface, but was panicking inwardly.

[The Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon's favorability toward you has increased; current favorability is 2 stars.]

This guy is toxic!

Han Jue still couldn't fully trust him; this emotional transformation was too fast, it's dangerous!

"You stay here and reflect for now!"

Han Jue dropped these words and withdrew his consciousness.

With the Star Primordial Body imprisoning the Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon, let alone Possession, the Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon didn't even have a possibility of escaping.

Han Jue opened his eyes and realized something.

Absorbing the Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon was too easy, as if holding chopsticks.

If it were really this simple, would the White-Robed Buddha have fallen for it?

Was he too strong?

He pondered carefully and felt the possible reason lay in the Star Primordial Body.

Since Cultivating the Heavenly Cycle Body Tempering Technique, he could clearly feel the terror of his Physical Body; everything in the world seemed fragile in his physical perception.

Even without using magical power, a single palm strike from him could shatter the entire Mortal Realm!

Han Jue chased Enlightenment Sword out, then asked, "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Emperor, are you there?"

After a while, the Heavenly Emperor's voice sounded, "What is it?"

"Do you know the relationship between the Buddhist Sect and the Demon Race?"

"Hmm? Why do you ask?"

Han Jue did not hide anything and revealed the matter of the Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon and the White-Robed Buddha.

The Heavenly Emperor did not reply immediately.

Han Jue waited patiently.

After a good while, the Heavenly Emperor finally spoke, "This matter must not be spread. Regarding the inside story of the Buddhist Sect being corrupted by the Demon Race, I have actually known for a long time. Even the Divine Palace and the Demon Court know. This is also the reason why the Demon Race has been able to survive until now."

Han Jue asked in surprise, "Why don't the three forces join hands to eradicate the Buddhist Sect?"

"The Buddhist Sect has Saints, and more than one."

Han Jue was silent.

So that was it.

The Heavenly Emperor said, "Not just the Buddhist Sect; the Demon Court, the Divine Palace, and even the Heavenly Court all hide powers unimaginable to all living beings. This is also why the four forces suppress the Immortal Realm. When you step into the God Realm, you will be able to understand everything."

God Realm!

Han Jue was secretly shocked.

He must be careful in the future; when he reaches the God Realm, he must hide a bit, otherwise trouble will come one after another.

"How is your cultivation going?" the Heavenly Emperor asked.

"It's alright, thank you for your reward, Your Majesty."

"Hmm, Cultivate well and strive to surpass Jiang Yi soon."

"Although it's difficult, I will try."

After the conversation ended, Han Jue called Enlightenment Sword back in, and he continued to Cultivate.

On the other side.

Inside a huge, resplendent palace.

The Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor slowly opened his eyes, his gaze encompassing the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms.

He seemed to have seen something and said gloomily, "White-Robed Buddha, you have ultimately failed me, failed the Buddhist Sect. So be it."

He raised his hand and cast a Buddhist seal, which quickly rushed out of the palace.

Not long after, a burly figure emitting sky-piercing golden light walked into the palace.

Within the golden light, his figure was imposing, and his true appearance could not be seen clearly, but on his back, he carried a giant pillar far exceeding his own size.

"Victorious Fighting Buddha, the White-Robed Buddha and the World Honored Buddha Ancestor have betrayed the Buddhist Sect. I send you to exterminate them."

The Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor instructed, his voice like a great bell, echoing in the palace.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha said in a deep voice, "Amitabha."

After speaking, he turned and left, quickly disappearing outside the palace.

He didn't even ask for the reason, nor did he ask where the White-Robed Buddha was.

The Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor slowly closed his eyes.

… Thirty years passed.

Han Jue's Dao Cultivation increased greatly; it took less than half an hour to kill Jiang Yi.

His magical power was several times stronger than before, the billions of stars deep within his Soul were all lit up, and the Great Dao of Life and Death permeated among them.

Han Jue now grasped the power of the Great Dao of Life and Death; after injecting the Great Dao of Life and Death into his magical power, his lethality increased greatly.

Not only that, Han Jue also felt his body filled with a mass of Qi.

This mass of Qi was very similar to the Qi within the heaven mending stone from before, yet slightly different.

Chaos Qi!

Han Jue couldn't help but think of what the Heavenly Emperor had said.

He was even more looking forward to his future.

Just as he was lost in thought, the White-Robed Buddha's voice came, "Senior, can you come out and talk?"

Han Jue frowned.

What does this guy want again?

After thinking about it, Han Jue decided to go out and see him.

He came to the forest and saw the White-Robed Buddha.

After the Hun Yuan Heavenly Demon was absorbed, the White-Robed Buddha had recovered his former demeanor, and was even more handsome and refined.
