My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 737: Shocking Change

Upon hearing these words, the Masked Man was greatly shocked. How could he have imagined that the Ghost Buddha would actually be acquainted with such a mysterious existence?

In the previous battle at Zhenling Pass, the reason why the Heavenly Burial Organization suffered such a devastating defeat, aside from that shocking boy who turned the tide, was because there were many traitors among their ranks, which completely ruined the Heavenly Burial Organization’s plans.

Originally, he had thought that the Ghost Buddha was the one among them least likely to have any problems. But now, it appears that it too is an entity belonging to the other side?

Glancing sideways in stealth, the current Ghost Buddha was hanging there like a marionette, its body slumped down, bound by the restraining chains.

A voice distinctly different from before sounded from within the Ghost Buddha: “There is still a trace of Buddha nature left in this incarnation’s body from the Immortal Realm’s Western Regions Buddhas. My consciousness has limited opportunities to emerge.”

“I had originally hoped to find the possessor of the laws of life and death in this world by utilizing the Yin-Yang Dao of the Candle Dragon.”

“But that unexpected variable, which I’m sure you’ve noticed, has disrupted the entire plan.”

That variable was naturally referring to Qin Feng!

“That boy possesses Primordial Qi, and is also protected by some mysterious power. Moreover, the one who holds the Mandate of Heaven in this world has been concealing my vision.”

“The Immortal Realm and the Netherworld Realm are already on the verge of collapse, yet I did not expect that the human world, where the laws of heaven and earth are the weakest, would be the place where I find no opportunity to intervene.”

The “Ghost Buddha” replied, “The masters of this world are not weak in strength, and they are almost integrated with the laws of heaven and earth. The suppression exerted on external existences is too great.”

“Our power to devour the Dao is almost impossible to exert here.”

“If it were not so, the war between the Gods and Demons that descended upon this world would have been the moment when this world perished.”

Hearing this, the Masked Man was utterly shocked. The other party said that the things they wanted to devour were being blocked by the laws of heaven and earth, so he could not hear them clearly. But he never imagined that the ancient legend of the descent of the Gods and Demons was actually the result of the machinations of these mysterious existences!

And the ability to devour the Dao, what a terrifying power that is!

You must know that in the human world, those who can comprehend the Dao are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, even after thousands of years!

Crack!

The skin of the Ghost Buddha suddenly peeled off like paint, revealing its ghastly flesh and blood underneath.

“Can’t hold on anymore?” said the giant eyeball.

“Yes, being rejected by the Buddha nature and the laws of this world, my consciousness will not last much longer.“

“You didn’t go to the trouble of appearing before me and awakening my consciousness in this incarnation just to say these things, did you?” the Ghost Buddha asked.

“The incarnations of the Buddhas from the Immortal Realm’s Western Regions are extremely sturdy, but back then they self-destructed the incarnations that the world worshipped to prevent us from descending through them.”

“Now, the remaining incarnations of the immortal Buddhas in the world are not many, so we shouldn’t let them go to waste,” the giant eyeball said.

“I see, but this incarnation should not be able to support the descent of the transcendent realm,” the Ghost Buddha commented.

The giant eyeball was unconcerned: “With the divine souls of the strong ones in this world plus your remaining consciousness refined together, it will be possible.”

As the words fell, including the Masked Man, all the entities confined in the Seventh Layer tightened their hearts.

This place is the Ninefold Prison, so where else could there be other powerful divine souls besides them?

‘Is this thing going to refine all of us? Isn’t it afraid of drawing the attention of the Heavenly Tower National Teacher and the Divine Guardian?’ the Masked Man was greatly alarmed.

The giant eyeball swept its gaze around, and the deep red light like tadpoles swarmed towards the various cages.

Everyone felt like they were facing a great enemy. They wanted to resist, but the confinement of the Ninefold Prison rendered them unable to move.

The red light like tadpoles reached in front of the prisoners, and their mouths suddenly opened, increasing in size exponentially. The sharp teeth made onlookers shudder.

They viciously bit the prisoners. These people had at least reached the Third Realm, and some had cultivated their physical bodies to the point of Indestructibility.

Yet their solid flesh and blood were easily pierced, like tofu, by these bizarre tadpoles. Agonizing screams echoed endlessly!

Some prisoners had nearly half their bodies devoured by the red light tadpoles, even having their hearts consumed, yet they still did not die.

The eerie, terrifying power maintained their life, leaving them in desperate fear and pain, watching their flesh be eaten away bit by bit!

Seeing this scene, the Second Masked Man felt his scalp tingle with dread!

The red light tadpoles were approaching him, and the fear of death made him struggle desperately, but it was futile.

Before long, the Seventh Layer of the Ninefold Prison had returned to calm.

“Seems like half of them escaped?” the Ghost Buddha spoke.

“Just the remnants of the Gods and Demons who mastered the alternative void Dao,” the giant eyeball replied, as the divine souls of the powerful ones were compressed into a sphere before it.

Countless distorted, roaring faces were the souls of the imprisoned.

“Hurry up, the masters of the Dao in this world are not ordinary, especially the one who holds the Mandate of Heaven, they will detect your presence,” the Ghost Buddha warned.

“No need to tell me that.”

By the Nine Bend River, the Divine Guardian who had been fishing suddenly stood up.

The Nine Bend River was actually the void confinement of the Ninefold Prison, and the ripples appearing on the river surface could reflect the situation inside the Ninefold Prison.

However, just now, he had clearly sensed an eerie aura emanating from the Seventh Layer of the Ninefold Prison!

Suddenly, a beam of white light fell beside him, transforming into the figure of the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher.

Without saying a word, he furrowed his brow and lightly tapped his finger, causing the void to ripple like the surface of a lake, and the scene of the Seventh Layer of the Ninefold Prison appeared before their eyes.

They flashed and simultaneously entered it.

With a sweep of the Heavenly Tower National Teacher’s sleeve, the area was instantly illuminated.

The cages that should have held the heinous criminals were now completely empty!

“The enemy has the means to evade my ‘Heavenly Mandate’,” the Heavenly Tower National Teacher said with a grave expression.

The Divine Guardian supplemented, “The enemy is very strong, in less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, they killed everyone here without any effort.”

He had been staying at the Nine Bend River, guarding the Ninefold Prison.

If the enemy’s killing was too slow or caused too much commotion, it would not have escaped his perception.

“There are no disturbances in the Netherworld Realm, indicating that the souls of the deceased were not drawn down.”

“There are only two possibilities: one, the souls of these people were completely annihilated along with their physical bodies; “

“Two, the enemy has somehow concealed or refined their souls,” the Heavenly Tower National Teacher analyzed.

The Divine Guardian turned his head and said, “To do such a thing right under our noses, they really don’t seem to care about us at all.”

“Can you use the Immortal Technique ‘Mirror Flower, Water Moon’ to recreate what happened here?”

“Since the enemy can evade my ‘Heavenly Mandate’, they must have concealed my perception of the heavenly mandate in this place. Even if I use ‘Mirror Flower, Water Moon’, I can only see blackness,” the Heavenly Tower National Teacher replied.

“What about your disciples?” the Divine Guardian asked again.

The Heavenly Tower National Teacher shook his head without answering.

If he could not foresee this, how could his disciples manage it?

At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something and said, “I forgot, there is a person who might be able to do it.”

Primordial Qi has existed since the beginning of chaos, not within Yin and Yang, not within the Five Elements.

The same is true for those who wield Primordial Qi
