#385 - Tiankun Venerable
“Huff… … Saved… …”
At this moment, only three Buddhist experts had narrowly escaped from the clutches of the demonic creature, gasping for breath, their hearts filled with lingering fear, regret, and eyes full of terror.
They never imagined that the demonic creature, sealed away and surviving from ancient times, would still possess such formidable power; it was simply inconceivable!
If they had known that drawing the Seven Stars Emperor Sword would also lead to being counter-killed, they wouldn't have acted.
Just then.
A "whoosh" sound was heard as a massive cloud ship flew over their heads like lightning, leaving behind a black shadow.
“Hmm?”
“Did a big black rat just fly past?”
The three Buddhist experts belatedly raised their heads, their brows slightly furrowed.
Before they could clearly see the cloud ship's appearance, a violent and terrifying roar resounded from behind them, accompanied by billowing demonic energy and murderous intent!
“Roar!!”
The demonic creature came striding through the air, hundreds of black tentacles flailing wildly, its appearance ferocious and horrifying, filled with overwhelming murderous aura!
“Not good!!”
“Why is this damn thing back again?”
Upon seeing this, the three Buddhist experts were utterly terrified, their souls nearly flying away, and they took off running, their speed increasing greatly, wishing they had two more legs.
But they didn't have time to run far before the demonic creature flashed over, its tentacles behind it flailing wildly, black and eerie, carrying terrifying power, instantly spreading out and stabbing towards the three Buddhist experts!
They immediately activated their magical treasures, doing their utmost to resist.
But even a casual strike from the demonic creature was incredibly powerful!
With two "噗" sounds.
Two Buddhist experts exploded on the spot, pierced by the black tentacles, and died instantly.
The last one had the highest cultivation and was able to resist the demonic creature's attack with difficulty, not dying immediately.
But he only managed to hold on for a few breaths.
As more and more black tentacles attacked, he finally let out a desperate and regretful cry, his body pierced by the tentacles, and he passed away on the spot.
Facing the relentlessly pursuing demonic creature, Su Chen once again raised his palm, the Myriad Manifestation Divine Eye releasing vast spatial fluctuations, and once again used the Grand Void Cage to temporarily trap it.
Then Su Chen raised his hand and threw the Grand Void Cage out.
But the demonic creature was very strong and quickly shattered the Grand Void Cage, forcibly breaking free.
When it caught up, Su Chen repeated the same trick and threw it out again.
After repeating this several times, the demonic creature's eyes turned red, and the murderous intent on its body became even more terrifying.
Dong!
Just as the demonic creature was attacking Su Chen once more, golden light suddenly bloomed, and a nine-story glazed pagoda descended from the sky, majestic and imposing, its entire body flowing with supremely divine and sacred aura.
Accompanied by a booming sound, the nine-story glazed pagoda directly enveloped the demonic creature, suppressing it!
It could be seen that demonic energy within the nine-story glazed pagoda was soaring to the sky.
The demonic creature inside continuously launched fierce and terrifying attacks, causing the pagoda to shake.
But the pagoda remained as stable as a rock, the Buddhist light becoming even more intense, showing no signs of being broken at all.
“Amitabha… Benefactor, the Seven Stars Emperor Sword is my Buddhist treasure; please return it to my Buddha.”
A calm and indifferent voice sounded, like rumbling thunder, vast and boundless.
It was a Buddhist expert sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform, his entire body golden and dazzling, as if cast from gold, with a brilliant halo surrounding the back of his head, making him appear incomparably holy.
He stood in mid-air, his body not particularly burly or tall, even a little thin, yet giving people a sense of endless oppression!
“Venerable Tiankun!”
Nan Yin frowned, her expression becoming a bit solemn.
The person before her was a renowned expert in Buddhism, with extremely profound Buddhist attainments. It was rumored that he had received the true teachings of the Buddha and was very likely to step into the Great Emperor realm and obtain the Buddha's fruit position in the future!
Venerable Tiankun had only cultivated for thousands of years, but his strength was already unfathomable, surpassing most old-brand Emperor realm experts!
Venerable Tiankun also held a Buddhist treasure, the nine-story glazed pagoda, whose power was extremely powerful, possessing the power to destroy the heavens and the earth!
“I obtained this from the demonic creature; it now belongs to me. What? Is a dignified Buddhist Venerable going to snatch something from a junior?”
Su Chen had a playful smile on his face. Even when facing a famous Buddhist expert, he remained calm and composed, with not a trace of fear on his face!
“Benefactor's words are mistaken.”
Venerable Tiankun said calmly, “The Seven Stars Emperor Sword was extracted from the demonic creature's body by my Buddhist experts at the risk of their lives to undo the seal. Benefactor took advantage of the situation and snatched the Seven Stars Emperor Sword. Now, this humble monk is only here to retrieve what belongs to my Buddhism.”
“Your Buddhist people drew the Seven Stars Emperor Sword, undid the demonic creature's seal, and were then counter-killed by the demonic creature.”
“From beginning to end, they did not obtain the Seven Stars Emperor Sword. The Seven Stars Emperor Sword is an unowned object. How can it be said that I snatched it?”
“Since I obtained it, it naturally belongs to me.”
Su Chen chuckled and lightly flicked the Seven Stars Emperor Sword in his hand, emitting a crisp buzzing sound.
Venerable Tiankun shook his head, “There's no point in saying more. If Benefactor is unwilling to return it, this humble monk has no choice but to offend you!”
