Chapter 511: Taking Everyone Down

Chapter 511: Taking Everyone Down

Many of the weaker cultivators were killed immediately by the golden arhats, but those who had trained their spirit to some extent were barely able to block their blows. Against the Buddhas, however, none of them could do anything. Fortunately, some among them had special relics that would allow them to at least survive the assault.

As they struggled, they watched Xiao Nanfeng take down every foe in his vicinity.

"Who said that Xiao Nanfeng was the weakest Martial Aspect?!"

"Look at how quickly he's taking down all those golden arhats!"

"Even the Buddhas can't catch up to him!"

As the golden arhats exploded into showers of light, the entire battlefield was lit up.

The Past Buddha frowned. "You might be able to run, lad, but you won't be able to escape from me."

Death chants rang out all across the void.

The next moment, everyone could see the arhats and Buddhas suddenly speed up. Many of those who had barely been holding on died rapidly as blood splattered everywhere.

Meanwhile, Xiao Nanfeng stopped fighting. He harmonized with the world and vanished from sight, knowing how potent these death chants were.

"Find him!" the Past Buddha demanded.

"Understood!" The Buddhas scattered and shone incredible quantities of divine light all over the battlefield.

However, Xiao Nanfeng was nowhere to be seen. He seemed to have vanished entirely within his deific domain.

"He's only an early-stage True Yin cultivator, so how can he harmonize with the world to this extent?" the Past Buddha exclaimed.

Under ordinary circumstances, dealing with such a True Yin cultivator was straightforward. All they had to do was to destroy his spiritual moon—but who would dare rouse the ire of Xiao Nanfeng's silver moon?

"Keep on searching!" the Past Buddha demanded.

At the same time, it raised the volume of the death chants as it attempted to hypnotize Xiao Nanfeng.

The potency of the death chants grew magnified. Finally, a flurry of snowflakes suddenly shifted, revealing a translucent figure.

"Ha! In the end, you can't hide from my death chants! Kill him!" the Past Buddha commanded.

All the Buddhas shot toward that translucent figure. Just as their palms slammed down on it, black fog gushed out.

With a whoosh, the black fog and snowflakes vanished from sight.

The Buddhas' attacks struck the ground in a howling tempest.

The black fog suddenly appeared high in the air, not far away from the Past Buddha.

The Past Buddha narrowed its eyes. "You're here, then?"

Within the black fog, Xiao Nanfeng slowly appeared in sight. He gaped to see that he had been transported without realizing it, and that the black lotus was right beside him.

"Senior, how did I suddenly end up here? Could I have been hypnotized by the death chants again just now?"

"That's right. Your actions slowed, and you were exposed despite being in a state of spiritual harmony. Fortunately, I rushed over in time.

"Thank you for saving me, Senior," Xiao Nanfeng replied immediately.

The Past Buddha's eyes twitched. "Have you already devoured my other subordinate?"

"Senior, do you need me to do anything else?" Xiao Nanfeng asked, shouting toward the air.

"I'll channel a burst of spiritual power into you. Take down all the Buddhas!" the black lotus wrote out.

Xiao Nanfeng suddenly recalled the black lotus' ability to gather up the spiritual power that had scattered across the battlefield and channel it back into him. He would be able to take advantage of that spiritual power himself.

"Got it!" Xiao Nanfeng replied.

His body manifested in reality again as a cloud of black fog, surging with golden energy, encapsulated him.

He unleashed a raging tempest around himself as he absorbed the power from the black lotus.

One Buddha's palm was looming over him.

Xiao Nanfneg narrowed his eyes and met the palm with his fist in a burst of flame. The Buddha shattered into a shower of light that the black lotus absorbed.

"Look! Xiao Nanfeng's even able to kill Buddhas now with the strength of the cursed effigy in the black fog! Isn't that crazy?"

Xiao Nanfeng took down more and more Buddhas, then avoided a blow from their stronger counterparts that he couldn't yet kill. He vanished from sight once more with spiritual harmonization.

The next moment, he appeared elsewhere, caught up to two Buddhas, and pulverized them with Hegemon's Fist.

Then, he vanished again and appeared elsewhere as he continued hunting down the weaker Buddhas.

By then, the Buddhas realized that they had become prey. However, they were unable to flee in the face of Xiao Nanfeng's deific domain. As Xiao Nanfeng grew stronger and stronger, he began to have an easier time chasing them down.

It took just half a day for him to take down all the lesser Buddhas.

Just then, another cloud of black fog encapsulating an even larger wave of golden spiritual power surrounded him. The power surged into his body as another raging tempest formed.

He knew that the black lotus was giving him the strength to deal with the greater Buddhas that remained.

He strode forth confidently, no longer attempting to evade the Buddhas' attacks. He charged toward them even as they struck at him.

With rapid booms, he took them all down. A torrent of golden light shot toward the black lotus.

"I see now. You're not absorbing this spiritual power at all—you're giving it all back to Xiao Nanfeng! What are you doing? Do you think he can take me down?" the Past Buddha demanded.

The black lotus transferred another parcel of golden spiritual power into Xiao Nanfeng's body.

Xiao Nanfeng's body filled up with spiritual power. Golden light leaked out of him and augmented the storm around him.

"Senior, you're giving me all this spiritual power?" Xiao Nanfeng exclaimed.

Spiritual power provided in this manner couldn't be replenished; once he used it up, it was gone. However, the black lotus was providing him with such an incredible quantity of spiritual power that even his True Yin body was almost incapable of absorbing it all. An ordinary True Yin cultivator might even have exploded from the strain.

Just then, the black lotus wrote out, "You now possess the combined spiritual power of all the golden arhats and Buddhas. You're strong enough to deal with the Past Buddha now. I've sealed its ability to spiritually harmonize. Destroy it immediately!"

"Understood!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted.

He shot toward the Past Buddha.

The Past Buddha frowned mightily. "Your strength is stolen from me. Do you think you can take me down with it? Die!"

The Past Buddha's palm slammed toward Xiao Nanfeng, who retaliated with a fist strike of his own. The shockwaves of energy that resulted from the impact caused the void to shudder and crack.

Afar, the cultivators gaped upon seeing this final confrontation. Xiao Nanfeng's current strength went far beyond what they could conceive of. Could this all be just a dream?
