Chapter 251: The Ancient Fan Nation’s Plan and the Emperor (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Until the emperor discovered the truth about the gods!”
Wang Yue’s extension was extremely complicated. There was respect, anger, and disappointment, but the most serious thing was a deep despair that Lin Yan had never seen or understood.
“After that…
“The Emperor killed the 16-armed Holy Buddha!
“Now, the sixteen-armed Holy Buddha that we respected as a god is under us!”
Lin Yan already had a premonition, but his face was still pale and he was shocked.
It was no wonder that a huge island could be supported with just nine jade pillars.
No wonder the texture of the patterns on the surface was so strange.
No wonder it had an eye!
This huge island clearly had the body of a living being and could originally float on the water!
A terrifying creature that was more than a thousand feet tall, which was three hundred meters tall?
Lin Yan had already seen the gigantic Corpse Buddha Cockroach’s height of dozens of meters. He had also caught a glimpse of the strange eight-eyed creature that was 30 to 40 meters tall in the fog.
However, compared to the 300-meter-tall 16-armed Holy Buddha, the Corpse Buddha Cockroach and the strange creature were like infants.
300 meters was nearly the height of a 100-story skyscraper!
If he stood in front of others, how terrifying and shocking would he be?
Such an unbelievable creature was indeed like a god to humans…
However, such an unbelievable Buddha was killed by the emperor that the old monk mentioned!
Moreover, it was nailed here with nine small jade nails.
How was this possible?!
How could humans achieve such a feat!
Lin Yan’s hair stood on end and goosebumps appeared all over his body. He felt a terrifying murderous aura that belonged to a super life transmit from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head, and he instinctively felt dizzy.
“He… is really dead now?”
“He’s already dead…”
“But his eyes…”
Wang Yue said faintly, “The terrifying life force of such a powerful and unbelievable creature is beyond the imagination of puny humans like us. “Although his body is dead and has even mutated into other forms because he has been soaking in the water for many years, there are still some parts in his body that haven’t completely died!
“Just like his 16 eyes, 12 of them are turbid and dim, but there are still four that are patrolling the world and have yet to close.”
With so many eyes, it was no wonder that the Ancient Fan Nation used eyes as totems and thought that multi-eyed was powerful.
Lin Yan thought of the Corpse Buddha Cockroach, the Buddhist Demon in the blood-colored stone coffin, and the eight-eyed monster in the Chaotic Fog… Could these things be related to this so-called Sixteen-Armed Holy Buddha? Lin Yan was silent before saying, “How did you kill such a creature?”
“I don’t know…
“Humans shouldn’t be able to kill such a terrifying creature.
“But the Emperor did it.
“Moreover, he did it alone.
“After the Emperor killed him, he mobilized 100,000 Buddhist soldiers and spent a month day and night to transport the body to the special underground world here.
“He also used a Primordial Divine Artifact to set up this formation of eight groups of spiritual beings. He digested and seized the power of the Buddha and used a long time to create a human Buddha…”
Lin Yan recalled the records of the Corpse Buddha Cockroach in the ancient books and slowly recited, “Legend has it that there was no Buddha in ancient times. Humans wanted to create Buddhas but failed. The world was furious and gave birth to the Corpse Buddha Cockroach.”
“That’s what we did before.
“The Corpse Buddha Cockroach was an accidental product of our early experiments on Buddhist corpses.
“Or perhaps, that wasn’t an accident, but an existence in the dark that tampered with it…
“However, the mere Corpse Buddha Cockroach was only an insignificant disaster in this grand undertaking to create Buddha…
“Trying to steal the power of the gods and Buddhas with the body of an ant is like using your physical body to find a grain of sand in the lava sea. It’s impossible without the determination to unite the people and shed blood like rivers.
“You should have encountered the poisonous fog outside the Jade Pool Lake, right?”
Lin Yan nodded and immediately realized. “Does it come from the Buddha corpse?”
“That’s Buddha Corpse Poison!
“When Buddha dies, corpse poison is born!
“While absorbing and digesting the power of the Buddha, this Heavenly Eight Dragons Array also absorbed the Buddha Corpse Poison inside and released it outside the Jade Lake.
“The Jade Pool Lake was originally lush with everything. The mountains were emerald green, and it was called the Earth Jade. It was a paradise on earth.
“However, after that day, the mountains withered and all the beasts died. From then on, it completely became a dangerous poisonous lake.”
Lin Yan was inexplicably shocked. After the Buddha died, the natural poison in his body actually changed the ecology of the entire Underworld?
“What about these blood-colored stone coffins? What’s inside?”
Wang Yue paused for a moment when he heard that. An extremely sorrowful expression appeared on his face. His expression changed instantly. In just a moment, even the illusion trembled slightly.
“In the blood-colored stone coffin… were the famous Three Thousand Sacred
Sons of Buddha of our Heavenly Eye Temple!”
Lin Yan’s eyes widened. “Those stone coffins all contained humans?!”
“Not anymore…” Wang Yue slowly lowered his head.
“Although Buddha is dead, his spiritual substance is not destroyed.
“In order to obtain the true power of the gods and Buddhas, we have to destroy the essence of the Buddha.
“In ordinary Spirit Marrow, the spiritual substance can be suppressed with the Spirit Transformation Unusual Items.
“But the true spirit of Buddha is too powerful. It can’t be sealed, controlled, or destroyed…
“Only humans!
“Humans are born with spirits.. Although they are like fireflies compared to gods and Buddhas, there is more than one person!
