2493 Papiyas Fight Ancient Buddha, Chu Kuangren's Assist, Buddha Emperor Ascend Overlord

Back in Pan Gu Universe, Chu Kuangren expanded his spirit energy to sense all the auras across different universes, exercising his control over the situation.

"Shen Qixue and Lan are engaged with the Grim Reaper. The odds of winning are slim, but they won't lose just yet. It won't be a problem for now.

"Primal Phoenix and Lil Red are fighting against Primal Flame. We'll see if Primal Flame lucked out and survived the attack."

"Lan Yu and the others are also engaged with different cultivators from the Primal Kingdom.

"This shouldn't be a problem."

"Hm? This is…"

Suddenly, Chu Kuangren sensed a strong Source aura approaching the Heavenly Buddhist Pure Land rapidly.

"If I'm correct, this should be him. I'll leave it to him."

…

At the Heavenly Buddhist Pure land, an extremely powerful aura came from the sky.

Holy and peaceful Buddhist light shone across the entire pure land, capturing the attention of all cultivators.

"That is an astonishing Buddhist light!"

"It's even stronger than the Buddha Emperor's. Who is this?"

There was a holy Buddhist figure sitting on top of a descending lotus, basking in endless Buddhist light. Anyone who laid eyes on him felt the urge to worship him.

It was obvious who he was.

"The oldest Buddha!"

"The source of all Buddhism!"

"He's also one of the Nine Honors!"

Buddha Emperor and his followers exchanged quick thoughts through telepathy, their expressions solemn.

Following his arrival, the Ancient Buddha looked at the Buddha Emperor and the others. "Buddhists, why aren't you on your knees?"

He spoke the fiercest words in the calmest tone.

Some weaker Buddhist cultivators were forced onto their knees, but the other Monarchs were also trying their best to fight the urge.

"Ancient Buddha, what are you doing here?"

"I am here to grant you your wish."

Ancient Buddha swung his sleeve, shedding endless Buddhist light over the Buddhist cultivators.

Their bodies then disintegrated into light particles before Ancient Buddha absorbed them.

In just a blink of an eye, tens of thousands of Buddhist cultivators were eliminated.

It infuriated Buddha Emperor and the other Monarchs.

"Ancient Buddha, what are you doing?"

"I said I'm granting your wish. You cultivate and practice Buddhism all your life just to be with Buddha. Now, I'm giving you the chance," Ancient Buddha said.

He raised his hand again, wiping out another batch of Buddhist cultivators and absorbing the light particles into his body.

Buddha Emperor and the others were fuming by then.

Be with Buddha?

Ancient Buddha killing them and absorbing their power was not being with Buddha!

"You're not the Buddha we worship! You're just a cold-blooded monster!" Buddha Emperor attacked Ancient Buddha with a palm strike.

The tremendous palm energy was hurled at Ancient Buddha.

Ancient Buddha casually swung his sleeve, releasing an explosive and vast energy that easily crushed the palm.

"Attacking Buddha? How disrespectful. You shall be eliminated!"

Ancient Buddha raised his hand with a frosty look on his face.

Then, endless Buddhist light shone across the entire pure land.

A holy feeling spread across the pure land, but it exuded a hint of indifference that regarded all life as ants, instilling fear in people's hearts.

The Buddhist light then transformed into a massive palm that crashed down from the sky.

The palm carried terrifying power and could easily wipe out Buddha Emperor and the others.

Right before Buddha Emperor and the others were killed, blood-colored Buddhist light shone from further away and formed a red barrier around the entire pure land.

"Kabaam!"

The golden Buddhist palm clashed with the wicked Buddhist light.

The holy power tried to eliminate all, while the wicked one tried to protect.

As the palm collided with the barrier, the void trembled, and the land shook.

Ancient Buddha looked at the source of the blood-colored Buddhist light with a frosty gaze.

"It's you."

A wicked and handsome monk walked out from the bloody Buddhist light.

Behind him was the avatar of the Desire Buddha, having three faces and four arms.

It was Papiyas.

Buddha Emperor and the other Monarchs were silenced by Papiyas' arrival.

It was ironic that Papiyas tried to eliminate Buddha in the past, but now that Buddha was trying to eliminate them, Papiyas saved them.

What a twist of events.

"Ancient Buddha, we meet again."

Papiyas looked at Ancient Buddha with a frosty gaze.

The grudges between them dated back to the Source era, and both of them believed it was time to end it once and for all.

"Immovable Enlightenment Bodhi Rage!"

Ancient Buddha performed a set of mystical hand seals and unleashed his strongest attack.

The golden Buddhist light summoned yet another massive palm.

Papiyas responded with his attack as well.

"All Truth Erased!"

Blood-colored and golden Buddhist light clashed and intertwined.

The clash was so powerful that it pushed both Papiyas and Ancient Buddha away.

The entire pure land trembled as if it was going to fall apart.

Back in the Pan Gu Kingdom, Chu Kuangren rubbed his chin as he watched the battle at the Heavenly Buddhist Pure Land.

"Papiyas is slightly weaker than Ancient Buddha."

After that, he switched his attention to Buddha Emperor and the other Monarchs.

"If so, let me give you a little assistance."

He then took the Ancient Sarira and tossed it into the sky.

The sarira flew toward the Heavenly Buddhist Pure Land.

Back at the Heavenly Buddhist Pure Land, Buddha Emperor and the others were watching the fierce battle.

They were not strong enough to intervene.

Buddha Emperor was aggrieved. "I'm one step away from breaking through to the Overlord Realm, but I can't seem to break through."

He had been cultivating hard for thousands of years and had reached Unlimited Great Dao long ago. He even got some Source Crystals to aid his cultivation, allowing him to reach the pinnacle of his current realm.

He was one step shy from breaking through but lacked one opportunity.

Otherwise, he could join the battle as well.

Suddenly, a golden light came from the sky.

"What is that…"

Buddha Emperor was surprised that the light was flying toward him.

It was the Ancient Sarira!

However, Ancient Buddha was irritated when he noticed the golden light.

"That's my sarira!"

During the first Infinity War, his powers were segregated into eighteen Ancient Sarira.

He had recovered seventeen of them and was missing only one.

He heard the last one was with Chu Kuangren, which left him helpless because he was no match.

That was why he decided to attack the Heavenly Buddhist Pure Land and absorb their powers to replace the missing sarira so that he could recover to his prime.

To his surprise, the last sarira appeared mid-battle.

"You want it back? No way!"

Papiyas stopped the Ancient Buddha while the Ancient Sarira flew into Buddha Emperor's body and merged with his cultivation base.

Buddha Emperor's aura skyrocketed and broke through the limits of the Unlimited Great Dao.

He had finally broken through to the Overlord Realm!

"Thank you for your assistance, Ruler Chu!"

Buddha Emperor bowed to the sky.

Then, he stepped forward with his newly gained power, releasing a stronger Buddhist light in the form of a palm strike.

He joined Papiyas in fighting Ancient Buddha.

"Damn it!"

Ancient Buddha frowned.

He had rid himself of all emotions, but seeing his sarira being refined by someone else irritated him.

…

While the battle continued across the domains and universes, Chu Kuangren stayed behind in the Pan Gu Kingdom to command the troops.

The Infinity Was had reached its climax!
