The enormous golden Buddha displayed a face filled with remorse, and the animosity towards Lu Heng dissipated.
However, the silver dragon trapped within the endless golden chains was completely engulfed by despair.
She looked at the white-robed man in the void with incredulity, witnessing his figure adorned with nine cauldrons, and felt her very soul tremble.
"Lu… Brother Lu…"
The voice of Dragon Emperor Xiu Ya resonated, filled with incredulous despair and agony. "You…are actually…an enemy from beyond the realm…"
The reaction of the Dragon Emperor gave a sense of the world collapsing.
Lu Heng looked at her helplessly and said, "If I were to claim that I am not the Lord of Nine Cauldrons, and that I have never reaped the lives of the Celestial Desolation Realm… would you believe me?"
In the hands of Lu Heng, the ancient Sword Formation was unfurled.
Following that, a chilling sword light burst forth from the void.
The five battle swords shattered the void, and the vast and mighty sword aura instantly shattered all the white lotuses within a radius of ten thousand li, directly cleaving towards the enormous golden Buddha ahead.
At this moment, all explanations are feeble.
Only practical actions have the greatest power of persuasion!
Lu Heng directly unleashed his lethal move towards the enormous golden Buddha!
"The Earth Spirit Realm's treasure? Ha… as far as I know, the Earth Spirit Realm isn't truly the owner of the nine cauldrons, is it?"
Lu Heng sneered and said, "The nine cauldrons were crafted by the Yu King, a priceless treasure from the Celestial Desolation Realm. It's just that during the Earthly Catastrophe, they were taken away by the Earth Spirit Realm and subsequently reforged into the unholy artifact they are today."
"I may not be a being of the Celestial Desolation Realm, but I share an intense aversion towards such despicable acts as the ones you are committing. How could I possibly align myself with you?"

However, the sword aura roared and surged, as five ancient war swords simultaneously glimmered across the vast sky, piercing through the palm of the giant Buddha's hand.
Upon that palm, five fingers fell to the mortal realm, and golden blood of the Buddha gushed and flowed in a frenzy.
On the face of the colossal golden Buddha, a troubled expression emerged.
"Amituofo, my Buddhist friend, your propensity for violence is too strong. We should recite Buddhist scriptures together to calm our minds and quell the urge to harm."
Retracting the palm with severed fingers, the giant Buddha clasped his hands together in prayer, while radiant golden light surged throughout his being. The resounding voice of the magnificent Buddhist chant reverberated through the galaxy.
Countless golden chains erupted frenziedly from the void, relentlessly entangling Lu Heng.
However, beneath the Green State Cauldron, Lu Heng remained invincible against all phenomena.
The vast essence of life cascading down is the most steadfast shield in the world, rendering Lu Heng impervious to the interweaving golden chains and the piercing chants of the majestic Buddha.
On the contrary, the crisscrossing five ancient battle swords, wielding a chilling aura of destruction, relentlessly cleaved towards the colossal golden Buddha, obliterating everything in their path.
Seeing such a situation, the expression on the face of the golden Buddha grew increasingly troubled.
With palms pressed together, the chants of the Buddha grew increasingly piercing, tormenting the silver dragon in the void, causing it to wail in agonizing pain and constantly convulse.
Seeing such a scene, Lu Heng let out a disdainful snort that resonated throughout the surroundings, saying, "Reciting sutras? I am capable of that as well!"
Under the blessing of heavenly thunder, Lu Heng's voice resounded through the galaxy as he uttered a profound Buddhist chant.
"Thus have I heard! Once upon a time, the Buddha sojourned in the Jetavana park near Sravasti with an assembly of twelve hundred and fifty bhiksus!"
"One day, at mealtime, the World Honored One put on His robe, took His bowl, and entered the great town of Sravasti to beg for His food!"
Lu Heng, though not an avid enthusiast of Buddhist scriptures, has also encountered the most renowned scriptures such as the Diamond Sutra and the Guanyin Heart Sutra on occasional occasions.
Although they were only glimpsed fleetingly, even without actually reading them, Lu Heng's exceptional cultivator memory allowed him to easily recall these scriptures at will.
Now, with the blessing of heavenly thunder, every Buddhist scripture recited by Lu Heng carries an awe-inspiring divine punishment aura that profoundly shakes the soul, leaving people inexplicably shaken.
Although lacking the grand spectacle of a magnificent golden Buddha amidst a shower of blossoms and the mystical chorus of Buddhist disciples, the resounding roar of fury still overpowers the Buddha's chants and alleviates the agony of the silver dragon.
Up ahead, the colossal golden Buddha, upon hearing such a defiant sound of opposition, was left utterly perplexed.
Lu Heng's chanting voice lacks any Zen quality, merely relying on the augmentation of heavenly thunder to disrupt his meditative tones, which is, in essence, no different from chaotic shouting and clamoring.
However, the Buddhist verses uttered by Wolf Lord's mouth, but they make him dare not regard them as ordinary chaotic shouting and clamoring!
Because within that Zen-lacking roar, his Buddhist chanting was directly suppressed. It was as if encountering a more ancient and noble presence, even though the roar itself was not of Buddhist nature, it effortlessly overwhelmed his Buddhist tones.
The scriptural text capable of such manifestation clearly indicates…
"Ancient Buddhist Scripture?!"
The enormous golden Buddha looked at Lu Heng in utter disbelief, completely losing composure.
The expression of the massive golden Buddha, devoid of its usual compassionate and sorrowful countenance, revealed an unprecedented state of bewildered astonishment.
Even if he were to witness the emergence of two exquisite cauldrons, it would not compare to the profound impact experienced in hearing the Ancient Buddhist Scripture at this very moment.
Such overwhelming intensity of emotions even made Him momentarily forget to evade, resulting in His enormous arm being directly severed by the chilling strike of an ancient battle sword.
Golden Buddha's blood splattered through the air once again.
However, the colossal Buddha paid no attention to the damage to its golden body, as it gazed at Lu Heng in astonishment and urgently exclaimed.
"Friend of the Buddha! From whence hast thou come, this Ancient Buddhist Scripture?"
"The Ancient Buddhist Scripture has been lost in the Earth Spirit Realm for many years. Should any enlightened soul among the Buddhist community kindly unveil the intricate details to us, the denizens of the Earth Spirit Realm would be eternally grateful."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Buddha's earnest plea left the massive silver dragon with a peculiar expression.
She gazed at the colossal golden Buddha, then turned her attention to Lu Heng on the other side, finding herself momentarily a bit confused about the situation.
The Dragon Emperor's secret realm, she has ventured into it numerous times, and she has slain the golden Buddha before her several times as well. Both sides are old acquaintances.
Even when she completely annihilated the golden Buddha, it never displayed such a discomposed demeanor.
Are the scriptures recited by the Wolf God of great importance to the Earth Spirit Realm?
In the curious observation of the Dragon Emperor, Lu Heng looked at the enormous golden Buddha before him, with a hint of astonishment.
This… The Diamond Sutra, which is… unbelievably the Ancient Buddhist Scripture that has been lost for many years in the Earth Spirit Realm?
Lu Heng furrowed his brows slightly and then sneered, "Since you are aware that this is the Ancient Buddhist Scripture, why don't you kneel before me immediately? If you humbly bow and accept the teachings and obediently meet your demise, perhaps I will be willing to explain the true meaning of this scripture to you."
The provocative words of Lu Heng were originally intended to mock the colossal Buddha before him.
However, as soon as he uttered those words, the enormous golden Buddha suddenly lowered its head and astonishingly knelt before Lu Heng, respectfully saying.
"Please, venerable master, bestow upon me the path of Buddha!"
The scene where the colossal golden Buddha humbly paid homage left Dragon Emperor Xiu Ya standing beside with eyes almost popping out in astonishment.
Lu Heng, on the other hand, was completely unprepared.
-Is this guy really kneeling like this?
With a bewildered gaze at the enormous golden Buddha kneeling before him, as well as its complete absence of radiant Buddha light and utterly defenseless demeanor, Lu Heng fell into a momentary silence.
Then, with sword energy surging in all directions, the ancient battle sword cleaved through, instantly shredding the golden Buddha amidst the torrential flow of sword energy.
In the splattering golden blood, Lu Heng uttered, "Not sincere enough… Die!"
In the cold and merciless words, the gold Buddha, who had voluntarily removed its defenses, was completely powerless to control the onslaught of the Heaven's Divination Sword.
In an instant, his body perished and vanished from existence, leaving only a vast expanse of starry galaxy drenched in the resplendent golden blood of the Buddha.
