The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

"Sword Thirteen! Ye Xian!"

Upon seeing these two, everyone in the Dark Temple had a change of expression!
"What are you two doing here!"

The Black Lotus Our Lady posed this question.

however.

The response to the Black Lotus Mother came from the sword in the hand of Zheng Tuo, the Sword Thirteen.

"court death!"

The Black Lotus Saintess immediately manipulated the nine Black Lotus Holy Swords around her and fought against Sword Thirteen.

Not far away, Ye Xian also made a move, facing off against the powerful Hei Sen.

Heisen is a body cultivator with the combat power of a second-level Breaker, making him a veritable humanoid monster.

Holding the Immortal-Slaying Sword, Ye Xian fearlessly launched a powerful attack against Hei Sen.

When the two sides clashed, from a distance, they appeared to be evenly matched, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

Not only that.

The fight between Jian Shisan Zheng Tuo and the Black Lotus Saint Mother was equally evenly matched, appearing exceptionally intense, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

"How did you suddenly become so strong!"

The Black Lotus Mother was greatly surprised!

I remember that on the ancient road to immortality, Jian Shisan and Ye Xian had to join forces to fight against a powerful cultivator at the second level of the Breakthrough Realm.

Although the two of them working together might have the potential to kill a second-level Breakthrough Realm cultivator, she could clearly see the strength of that level.

now.

She was surprised when Jian Shisan attacked her and they fought each other!

Because this Sword Thirteen's combat power is several times stronger than before, and he is able to confront him head-on.

Clang!

Clang!

The clash between the Righteous Sword and the Black Lotus Saintess was intense, with each strike landing back and forth.

In fact, both Jian Shisan Zheng Tuo and Ye Xian possess extremely high talent.

When the two join forces, they possess the ability to kill a second-level Wall Breaker. In a one-on-one situation, the two of them would not be at a disadvantage against a second-level Wall Breaker.

Moreover, after being tempered by the Ancient Path to Immortality, their strength has increased once again.

Now the two are fighting separately, each facing a powerful expert at the second level of the Breakthrough Realm. Although there is pressure, it is also part of their cultivation.

Two second-level Breakthrough Realm experts from the Dark Temple were blocked, and the remaining five experts each fought against the five divine bodies under Zheng Tuo's command.

The difference in skill between the two sides became immediately apparent.

The Golden Emperor's divine body battles the Black Abyss.

The golden halberd slashed through the sky and collided with the black abyss battle blade, sparks flying everywhere, and the halberd suppressed the black abyss battle blade.

The divine body of Emperor Yan battles the god of plague.

Flames rose, transforming into various colors. The plague god's methods were completely neutralized; there was no way to suppress the Flame Emperor, and his power was suppressed as well.

The God of Curses battles the Ice Emperor.

The curse power of the God of Curses was completely frozen before it could even get close to the Ice Emperor.

This scene stunned the God of Curses.

He was never good at head-on combat, and now he had encountered a ruthless opponent like Hyotei, which threw him into disarray and caused him to retreat in defeat.

The Thunder Emperor battles the King of Ten Thousand Poisons.

The King of Ten Thousand Poisons is skilled at manipulating deadly poisons. This time, he unleashed a storm of poisonous creatures, attempting to suppress the Thunder Emperor.

however.

What level of existence is the Thunder Emperor's Divine Body?

The Poison King's petty tricks were no match for the Thunder Emperor.

With the Thunder Emperor's Hammer falling, the King of Ten Thousand Poisons could only run away; he dared not fight head-on.

In response, the God of Puppetry intervened, attempting to use his own methods to suppress the Thunder Emperor's divine body once again and take it under his control.

Whether it's the inner demon of the Puppet God or the Puppet God himself, both are obsessed with the Thunder Emperor's divine body.

Because he spent ten thousand years searching the entire primordial immortal realm to finally assemble the body of the Thunder Emperor.

He had painstakingly found the Thunder Emperor's divine body, only to have it used in battle by his own opponent. His heart was bleeding, and he was desperately trying to reclaim the Thunder Emperor's divine body.

Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
The Thunder Emperor's divine body made its move, battling the King of Ten Thousand Poisons and the Puppet God's inner demon, completely suppressing both of them.

At last.

Only Buddha Zheng Tuo and Scorpion God remained.

The most formidable feature of the Scorpion God is its venomous stinger on its tail. Legend has it that it once used this stinger to kill a Wall Breaker of the same level.

According to Buddha Zheng Tuo, this matter is absolutely true.

During his battle with the Scorpion God, he was struck by its venomous stinger, causing him to tremble in pain and nearly perish.

Scorpion God has cultivated his venomous stinger to a whole new level.

Even if they encountered a powerful expert at the second level of the Breakthrough Realm, they would not dare to easily provoke the Scorpion God.

However, Zheng Tuo is no longer a powerhouse at the second level of the Breakthrough Realm.

The Buddha Zheng Tuo of today possesses a near-invincible divine body, and his divine soul is protected by a black coffin.

No matter how strong the venomous stinger on the scorpion god's tail was, it could not penetrate the divine body of Buddha Zheng Tuo.

"How is that possible!"

Scorpion God was puzzled that his signature move was not working.

In his eyes, the poisonous stinger on his tail was enough to severely injure a being at the third level of the Breaker Realm.

Now, even though I clearly hit the opponent, why couldn't I break through their defenses? Just what level has this guy's divine body reached, that his defensive capabilities are so powerful?

"It's useless, it's useless. Don't even mention you, even the attacks of a fourth-level Breaker, or even a fifth-level or sixth-level Breaker, can't break through my current divine body."

Buddha Zheng Tuo's eyes were full of piercing light.

“Scorpion God, I see that you have an affinity with my Buddha. If you are willing to take refuge in my Buddha, I can appoint you as a Dharma protector and keep you by my side. Are you willing?”

What Buddha Zheng Tuo said sounded extremely ordinary.

However, this is a supernatural art that can awaken the true goodness and beauty in the other person's heart, dispel the evil in their heart, and thus convert them to Buddhism and wholeheartedly do good.

Come on.

Zheng Tuo had not learned anything about the Buddha's supernatural powers.

He used the Buddha's Path Mark to speak, and that's how he achieved this effect.

It must be said that the Buddha's path pattern is truly extraordinary.

"what!"

Scorpion God covered his head with both hands, as if he were under a spell.

He was unsettled by what Buddha Zheng Tuo said. In comparison, the puppet god Xin Mo, who was fighting not far away, became even more uneasy after only hearing what Buddha Zheng Tuo said.

It is an inner demon, and the Buddha Dao pattern of Buddha Zheng Tuo is a perfect weapon against it.

What the Buddha just said to Zheng Tuo was not addressed to him, yet it had a tremendous impact on him.

If what Buddha Zheng Tuo said to him were true, it might really have caused him to perish, both physically and mentally, and die.

The Puppet God's inner demon trembled with fear, daring not to fight here. He quickly exchanged himself with someone else, lest he be chased and chanted sutras by Buddha Zheng Tuo.

In response, Buddha Zheng Tuo saw the abnormality of the Puppet God's inner demon and knew that his words spoken in the form of Buddha's Dao patterns would have a tremendous destructive effect on the Puppet God's inner demon.

But instead of targeting the puppet's inner demons, he continued to target the Scorpion God in front of him, attempting to convert the Scorpion God to Buddhism.

“Scorpion God, I see the kindness and beauty in your heart. You do not want to follow the Dark Evil Emperor. Buddha is merciful and allowed me to meet you here. May you be freed from the sea of ​​suffering and reach the other shore.”

The Buddha Zheng Tuo spoke the great Dao, and immediately told the Scorpion God to put his hands on his head and let out a low roar.

"Stop reading, stop reading, stop reading..."

Tortured beyond control, the Scorpion God unleashed killing intent from its tail in an attempt to stop the Buddha Zheng Tuo's chanting.

however.

The Scorpion God's attack struck Buddha Zheng Tuo like a tickle, causing him no harm whatsoever. In contrast, Buddha Zheng Tuo sat cross-legged, hands clasped together, radiating Buddhist light as he chanted incantations as he followed the Scorpion God.

Scorpion God was tortured to the point of near madness.

He immediately communicated with the powerful figures of the Dark Temple, expressing his desire to change his opponent and his unwillingness to fight Buddha Zheng Tuo.

"Alright, alright, I'll trade with you."

The God of Plague had had enough of the scorching flames of the Yan Emperor's divine body.

He flipped over and swapped opponents with the Scorpion God.

"Scorpion God, why did you run away? Wait for me! Wait for me!"

Buddha Zheng Tuo wanted to chase after the Scorpion God, but was stopped by the God of Plague.

"what?"

Upon seeing the God of Plague, Zheng Tuo immediately stopped in his tracks.

“Fellow Daoist God of Plague, I see that your face is ashen and you are plagued by bad luck. You are not a lucky person. We are destined to meet. Would you like to enter my Buddhist holy land to get rid of your bad luck?”

Buddha Zheng Tuo continued to speak using the Buddha Dao pattern.

These words, when heard by the God of Plague, immediately made his eyes clear.

He, the god of plague, was once nothing more than a minor monk.

Due to limited talent, he could only watch helplessly as those around him broke through, reached higher realms, and saw more distant scenery.

He could only remain in the same place.

One day, by chance, he saw ordinary people in a city-state infected with the plague.

Out of kindness, he saved lives, but he himself contracted the plague.

He thought he was going to perish, but he inadvertently combined the plague with his own power, creating a new force.

It turns out that he could absorb the plague to aid his cultivation.

From then on, he began to become cold-blooded in order to cultivate himself.

He began to create plagues everywhere, and then used them to cultivate himself.

After enjoying the benefits once, one starts wanting a second, a third...

Time and again, endlessly, until finally utterly succumbed and became the god of plague.

hum!
The god of plague suddenly awoke!

What just happened?
Why did I suddenly think of my past self during the battle?

"God of Plague, to know your mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue. The sins you committed are in the past. Now, lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. Would you like to join my Buddhist sect?"

original.

The Buddha's path pattern can not only illuminate the beauty in a person's heart, but also allow them to see the most terrible evil in their heart.

The god of plague has just fallen into a trap, seeing the deepest evil within himself.

He tried to suppress this evil in his heart and never bring it out.

Now, however, he was awakened by the Buddha Zheng Tuo's Buddhist chants, which made him see the unbearable aspects of his own heart again.

"Who are you? Who exactly are you?!"

The God of Plague trembled, looking at the Buddha Zheng Tuo, who was now bathed in Buddhist light, as if he were a monster.

"I am who I am, and you are who you are. You don't need to see who I am; the only thing you need to see is who you are."

Buddha Zheng Tuo stepped forward, his palm radiating Buddhist light, attempting to help the god of plague.

Upon seeing this, the god of plague was filled with hesitation.

He didn't know whether he should trust the guy in front of him.

But for some reason, this guy in front of him spoke very nicely and warmly, and he was very willing to seek his help.

"Humph!"

A cold snort was heard at that moment, immediately awakening the god of plague.

"The God of Plague is lying to you. As an enemy, how could he possibly help you? Quickly strike and kill him here."

The voice of the Dark Emperor rang out, immediately waking the God of Plague.

The plague god, now awake, retreated hastily, his entire body drenched in cold sweat, filled with lingering fear.

No wonder Scorpion God wanted to exchange opponents.

There was a strange and eerie quality about this Buddha, which almost caused him to fall into a trap.

"Amitabha Buddha, God of Plague, you have gone astray. Haven't you realized it yourself?"

The Buddha Zheng Tuo, with his dignified appearance, continued to speak softly.

"My path is for you to judge, what are you anyway!" The God of Plague appeared extremely agitated.

"God of Plague, you have chosen the path of plague, but plague is a disease that only exists among mortals. Immortal cultivators will not contract plague. Therefore, the path you have chosen is wrong. The path of plague is merely a shortcut and cannot be considered the Great Way. Now, you have reached the end of the road."

Buddha Zheng Tuo saw through the true nature of the plague god.

It's truly incomprehensible that something like a plague could be used for spiritual cultivation.

Because plagues are a large-scale disease among mortals, they are useless to cultivators, even less effective than poison.

This is why the God of Plague is stuck at the first level of the Breaker Realm; he has taken the wrong path.

The god of plague is silent.

He knew he had taken the wrong path all along, but he didn't want to start over.

He knew that his talent was limited, and if he had to start over, he would definitely not be able to reach the level of a barrier-breaker.

Now, he is at least a Breakthrough Realm cultivator, not the best, but not the worst either.

But at this moment, he wavered.

Could this Buddha statue before me truly have a way to help me?

What suggestions do you have?

The god of plague couldn't help but ask.

"Indeed, the fact that you can ask such a question shows that you still have the potential for enlightenment. The Buddha is compassionate and offers you three thousand great paths to choose from. As long as you enter the Buddhist path, I will teach you. I wish you success in your cultivation."

The Buddha Zheng Tuo radiated a warm and peaceful light.

In this state, the god of plague unknowingly entered the beautiful dream woven by Buddha Zheng Tuo once again.

Actually.

Zheng Tuo is right.

The god of plague has gone astray.

Plague is not something that can be used for cultivation; it takes a shortcut and will inevitably lead to a dead end.

The only thing that can help change this is to retake the course.

He possesses the power of reincarnation, which can help him rebuild his body.

"God of Plague! What are you doing!"

A serious voice came from behind.

The Dark Evil Emperor, whose Dao body was observing the battlefield, saw the Plague God's actions and immediately sensed something was wrong.

hum!
The God of Plague awoke from Zheng Tuo's beautiful dream, his head once again drenched in cold sweat, still filled with lingering fear.

"I want a different opponent! I want a different opponent! I want a different opponent!"

The God of Plague was terrified, no longer daring to meet the eyes of Buddha Zheng Tuo, and turned and ran away.

"God of Plague, don't go! Look at you! I just saw your symptoms. Now is the perfect time to heal you. Why are you leaving?"

The Buddha's words were full of concern.

however.

The god of plague had already fled, giving Buddha Zheng Tuo no chance to communicate.

brush!
The God of Curses and the God of Plague switched places, blocking the path of Buddha Zheng Tuo.

"what!"

Buddha Zheng Tuo looked at the God of Curses and immediately showed a strange expression, as if he had seen through the extraordinary nature of the God of Curses. (End of this chapter)
