Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Million Underworld Soldiers Battle the Buddha
An Jing looked at his own palm, at this moment golden lightning surged through his arm, as if there were filaments of electricity swimming through his flesh and meridians.
It seemed as though his arms were as heavy as a thousand pounds, as if it was difficult to lift them again.
Just a single move was enough to know the frightening strength of Xi Hafu before him.
Xi Hafu’s hands began to intertwine incessantly, one after another mysterious and incomparable golden light emerged.
As the Buddhist chants echoed, a huge seal technique appeared in the palms of his hands.
That golden spell seal floated in mid-air, the surrounding True Qi exploded into motion, the terrifying momentum intimidating for miles around.
Great Sun Tathagata Seal! Flame Wheel Stopping Seal!
Xi Hafu stretched out his palm and the golden spell seal seemed to turn into a vast sea of fire, surging forward.
Boom! Boom!
The enormous golden spell seal surged forward, and heaven and earth seemed to burst open.
Heaven collapsing and earth shattering! The void trembled!
It was as if everything in the world was suddenly engulfed by this raging power.
Thud!
As if heaven and earth both shook, the terrible impact dissipated the True Qi around, and cracks of the shattered void appeared before everyone’s eyes.
“That’s the Shattering Void! These are the methods of Immortals!”
“Xi Hafu has actually reached such a level?!”
“The Buddha has descended! This is the Buddha descending!”
……
The voices of discussion and horror struck like thunder on a clear day, such great divine power had long surpassed their understanding.
In today’s world, is there truly such a method as the Shattering Void?
An Jing’s Dulu Sword flowed with dazzling light, and in an instant, the Dulu Sword in his hand seemed to transform into a towering giant sword.
The sharp Sword Light pierced through the sky, surging towards the sea of fire in front.
That sea of fire burned the heavens and boiled the sea, all-powerful, directly enveloping the sharp Sword Light within, and the sound of its chants rumbled like thunder.
An Jing was also full of trepidation at this moment, he knew that Xi Hafu before him might be the strongest opponent he had encountered so far, a true Great Grandmaster.
“Shh! Shh!”
At that moment, the Dulu Sword erupted with astonishing might, sweeping magnificently toward the front.

The World’s First Sword, naturally carrying a chill in its sharpness!
All under heaven are prey, but this sword alone is peerless!
This one sword directly pierced through the flames in front, causing them to split and form two sides of a flaming tidal wave, rolling and attacking.
Xi Hafu, bathed in the golden flames, looked at the flashing cold light of the Dulu Sword and sighed, “Indeed, it is The World’s First Sword.”
An Jing gently touched the blade of the Dulu Sword, knowing that if it wasn’t for relying on this Dulu Sword, he would have probably found it really difficult to split the flames.
Jia Meixian poked her head out anxiously and asked, “What should we do now?”
Anyone could see that the current Xi Hafu, having united his obsession with his original body and added to that the absorption of Jiang Shang’s Undying Blood, had undergone an earth-shattering transformation in strength.
Xi Hafu had become the second person to reach the Grandmaster Realm after Zhao Zhiwu.
Yang Chong looked at the two people fighting and began to ponder in his heart, “This top Buddhist expert seems to have the same goal as Zongzheng Huachun, but why do they both want to break the sealing of the Dragon Locking Well?”
“Also, why is there no change in Xi Hafu after absorbing Jiang Shang’s Undying Blood?”
It wasn’t just Yang Chong who was puzzled; many people were also very confused.
What exactly had happened that allowed Xi Hafu’s strength to suddenly improve to such an extent?
If it were simply the obsession returning to the body to become one, such an explanation would be too simple.
Xi Hafu’s momentum continued to climb, that heavy as a mountain momentum endlessly oppressed those around.
Boom!
The next moment, the ground beneath his feet began to crack open.
As Xi Hafu brought his hands together, the huge golden Buddha stood tall, towering several dozen feet high, standing on a pile of ruins, reflecting a vast golden light.
It was as if the golden Buddha truly came to life, its majestic momentum covering everything, with An Jing like a small boat in a storm, tossed by the wind and rain, and liable to break at any moment.
Just then, a torrent of Demonic Qi surged from afar.
If the golden Buddha were a mountain, then the surging Demonic Qi was a vast lake.
Clang!
At the moment of collision, a deafening noise resounded.
The collision of Demonic Qi and Buddhist Light formed lines of scorching light, and everyone could feel the terrifying fluctuations that could destroy heaven and earth.
Boom! Boom!
The boundless sky, at this moment, seemed to be twisted by a tremendous force, and on the vast ground, circles of earth waves spread out, the entire earth almost crumbled away.
Eyes filled with solemnity looked at the terrifying impact that was spreading out, Ouyang Ping, Zongzheng Yue, and other experts from Great Snow Mountain feared being affected by that kind of shock, and flew towards the distance.
In the midst of the energy waves, a figure emerged, an old woman with a head full of silvery hair.
And the one who had suddenly arrived and was able to withstand Xi Hafu’s power was none other than Nangong Weiping.
An Jing’s heart shook upon seeing who it was, obviously, it was Zhao Qingmei who was worried, so she had secretly sent Nangong Weiping to Yulong Snow Mountain.
Zongzheng Yue breathed a sigh of relief seeing Xi Hafu gaining the upper hand, but then the mysterious and powerful master from the Demon Sect suddenly made their move.
Others might not know the strength of this person, but Zongzheng Yue was very clear.
This person had defeated her father, Zongzheng Huachun, and had left Cloud Tower unharmed. Although she didn’t know why he was heavily injured and his primordial energy was badly damaged, he definitely possessed Great Grandmaster strength.
Xi Hafu said, “I never expected there to be such a master within the Demon Sect.”
Nangong Weiping said, “I didn’t expect there to be someone in the Buddhist sect who could retrace the path of the Buddha himself.”
Xi Hafu said, “Since you already know, you understand all the more that no one can stop this poor monk, not even a Land Immortal.”
Nangong Weiping sneered, “Old monk, do you really think that by becoming a Buddha you can do whatever you want? You’re nothing but an evil spirit. All this talk of enlightening beings is complete nonsense. Why impose your will on others?”
Xi Hafu’s pupils abruptly constricted, “If the benefactor wishes to die, then this poor monk shall fulfill that wish.”
A palm strike surged toward her like a falling meteor, carrying terrifying strength and speed.
Nangong Weiping had no intention of backing down, her body surged with Demonic Qi as she met the attack head-on.
The two top masters of the era clashed in an instant.
Boom! Boom!
Their palms collided fiercely in the air, like two ancient glaciers crashing into each other, the earth-shaking noise reverberated through each corner of the world.
Although Nangong Weiping was also at the Great Grandmaster level, her vital energy was greatly damaged, so there was a significant gap between her and Xi Hafu, and she was immediately forced several steps back after the clash.
Fierce and majestic waves of True Yuan rolled out from Xi Hafu’s body.
Xi Hafu’s strength had truly reached the Grandmaster Realm, his vitality swelled to the extreme, an overpowering presence crushing down like mountains.
‘Crack’ ‘Crack’
Nangong Weiping’s fingers clenched, the sound of friction from the True Yuan within her palm emitted subtle, yet powerful sounds.
She stepped forward, and the black demonic light also slowly diffused from her body.
Under the heavens, how many people have cultivated the Nine Nether Purgatory Demon Scripture to perfection? Nangong Weiping was one of them.
Boom!
A glint of gold shot across Xi Hafu’s eyes, and then his arm shook violently, releasing a piercing shriek. In response to that sound, a domineering and potent force spread out.
“Swoosh!”
And in the moment that shrill sound was heard, Xi Hafu’s figure finally burst into motion. The True Yuan in front of him was torn apart right there and then, and a figure, as fast as a specter, darted towards Nangong Weiping.
Xi Hafu’s palms turned into countless afterimages, pouring down like torrential rain, instantly enveloping Nangong Weiping from all sides.
Xi Hafu had utilized nearly eighty percent of his strength, far fiercer than when he had fought An Jing, the palm imprints distorted the air as they passed through.
Nangong Weiping moved through the sky, her Demonic Qi surging within her, casting dozens of palms to meet the onslaught.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As their palms clashed, a terrifying aura burst forth.
“Today, as the monk achieves Buddhahood, I shall kill a Land Immortal to celebrate.”
A golden light in Xi Hafu’s eyes vanished, followed by the appearance of a red glow.
His hands came together, and within his palms, a golden lotus emerged.
Boom!
An ocean-like True Yuan gushed from his body, and the golden lotus in his hands also began to swell.
Killing a Land Immortal to celebrate, such arrogant words! Even in the Great Qin Dynasty, where Great Grandmasters have fallen from history, such words were shocking.
An Jing fondled the Dulu Sword in his hand and said, “Senior Nangong, let’s join forces.”
“No need, I want to see for myself what this Buddhist ‘Buddha’ is made of.”
Nangong Weiping looked at Xi Hafu, whose momentum was suddenly growing stronger, a hint of a cold smile appeared on her face, then it grew colder, sharp as a blade’s edge.
Nangong Weiping stepped forward, and the Demonic Qi surged; behind her, it seemed as though a vast black crack materialized, expanding continuously.
A formidable shadow of the Heavenly Demon emerged!
The sounds of the Heavenly Demon shattering heaven and earth resonated, spreading far and wide, the air around seemed to crack from the vibrations.
Stones from the distant mountains fell like snowflakes to the ground below.
This Heavenly Demon, unlike the previous ones, merely a shadow, was filled with immense pressure, one that made Zongzheng Yue’s face drastically change.
The Heavenly Demon Technique borrowed a strand of power from an extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, while the Nine Nether Purgatory Demon Scripture opened a gap to a realm outside, borrowing even more colossal Heavenly Demon power.
This was the terrifying aspect of the Nine Nether Purgatory Demon Scripture. Even though Nangong Weiping was no longer in her prime, her strength remained at the pinnacle of the current era.
Xi Hafu’s eyes remained calm as he slowly channeled the True Yuan into the golden lotus.
The aura around Nangong Weiping also gathered to a crucial peak.
Xi Hafu suddenly let go of his palms, the golden lotus shooting out and enlarging as it flew.
In a flash, it turned into a giant bolt of golden lightning tens of feet long, an intensely sharp fluctuation crazily radiating from it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Golden thunder streaked across the sky, mixed with surging and torrential blood qi, dimming the heavens and earth. Dark clouds amassed, and the furious thunder roared violently, as if the end of days had arrived.
“Go!”
Xi Hafu’s fingers abruptly pointed towards Nangong Weiping, his command thunderous, his robust voice echoing in everyone’s ears.
Boom!
As his shout spread, the immense golden lightning paused for an instant, then furiously shot out.
In the blink of an eye, the golden lightning descended before Nangong Weiping, and without a moment’s delay, it struck down with a devastating force.
The vast gold expanded rapidly within Nangong Weiping’s pupils, and the Heavenly Demon behind her seemed to sense the imminent danger, letting out a skyward howl.
Nangong Weiping’s eyes were serene to the extreme as her palms interlocked her ten fingers into a series of delicate, intricate seal techniques.
All of a sudden, True Yuan burst forth like fireworks, exploding in the sky.
Nine Nether Purgatory Demon Scripture! Heavenly Demon Seal!
The Heavenly Demon behind Nangong Weiping also formed seals, with the Demonic Qi turning into black demon seals that descended like insurmountable mountains upon what lay ahead.
Hum!
In an instant, the black demon seals brutally slammed into the colossal golden lightning.
Boom!
A thundering roar, deafening as it could be, suddenly resounded, and An Jing felt a terrifying wave sweep over everything.
At this moment, An Jing had no time to pay attention to such matters. Stabilizing himself, he immediately looked towards where the demon seals and the green lightning collided, his eyes filled with shock.
He saw the golden lightning, like an apocalypse-ending thunder, illuminating the whole world, and then, like a sharp sword, it brutally plunged downward.
Rumble! Rumble!
The golden lightning seemed to penetrate through Nangong Weiping, eventually crashing heavily onto the earth.
Boom!
The earth trembled and continuously crumbled away, and within mere moments, a vast, gaping black hole many meters wide appeared below, with huge cracks spreading out like a spider’s web from its edges.
Everyone watched this scene unfold, their heartbeats suddenly quickening.
Xi Hafu’s brows were tightly knit, his hands placed before his chest, his kasaya fluttering and rustling in the wild wind.
At this time, Nangong Weiping’s appearance was extremely wretched; the flesh on both of her arms had dissolved away, leaving only bare bones behind, and patches of white bone were exposed all over her body.
If it were not for her cultivation of a Great Grandmaster supporting her, she might have already perished.
Huff! Huff! Huff!
Heavy and irregular breaths came from Nangong Weiping’s mouth. Her body shivered slightly from the excruciating pain of her flesh dissolving, and her once sharp aura had become extremely feeble at this moment.
Clearly, she had been overpowered in this exchange of moves.
“Elder Nangong.”
An Jing walked over to Nangong Weiping, frowning deeply at the sight of the ghastly wounds, twisting his brow into a ‘川’ shape.
After all, Nangong Weiping had suffered a severe loss of vitality, her strength nowhere close to what it once was, and she was no match for Xi Hafu, this recently emerged Great Grandmaster.
Furthermore, Xi Hafu was not merely a simple Great Grandmaster; his strength appeared to exceed that of an average one.
Xi Hafu said, “You saw benevolence and received it. This humble monk has fulfilled your wish.”
With those words, dazzling golden light shone over the earth once more, seeking to end Nangong Weiping and An Jing in one fell swoop.
“Is that so?”
An Jing’s hand reached into his bosom, withdrawing the Imperial Jade Seal.
Upon seeing what was in An Jing’s hands, Zongzheng Yue was greatly shaken inside, “The Imperial Jade Seal!?”
She was naturally familiar with the Imperial Jade Seal. The Great Yan Dynasty had been without it, as Yan Taizu had exhausted every effort to search for this Imperial Jade Seal, spending a great deal of resources, manpower, and effort, ultimately without finding a trace and having to recast a new Great Yan National Seal.
Zongzheng Huachun also sent many experts in the search for this Imperial Jade Seal, but not even a shadow was found.
And now, the Imperial Jade Seal, lost for hundreds of years, appeared in the hands of the Ghost Swordsman—how could one not be astonished?
Upon seeing the Imperial Jade Seal, Xi Hafu’s brow furrowed sternly.
A treasure of the nation!
The weight of it was not something just anyone could bear, and even though his cultivation had reached the pinnacle of Great Grandmaster, facing this true treasure of the nation still made his heart tremble.
An Jing’s face was indifferent, his thoughts lingering on the Imperial Jade Seal.
Rumble! Rumble!
All of a sudden, the sky and the earth started to shake, the trembling as if a dragon beneath the earth had turned over.
“What’s happening?” Zongzheng Yue hurriedly looked around.
Just then, a fierce black light burst forth from the Imperial Jade Seal, dense Yin Evil Qi spreading through the air, and subsequently, countless spectral soldiers charged out.
“Kill—!”
Hundreds of soldiers lined up in a dark streak. The sight of a million spectral soldiers was awe-inspiring, with the world seemingly merging into an endless black that occupied the entire heavens and earth.
The torrent was vast and boundless. The sound of fighting was deafening and shook the heavens and earth.
Beneath the pitch-black Yin Evil Qi, those ghostly figures carried a relentless killing aura, giving off an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Heaven and earth were suddenly surrounded by countless armies of the undead.
“This… this… these are the undead soldiers!?”
“Such dense Yin Evil Qi!”
“A million undead soldiers? Has the Underworld been breached?”
……
The pressure from the Yin Evil Qi alone was enough to intimidate, not to mention the million undead soldiers at this moment. The Great Yan Emperor from the Qin Emperor’s Mausoleum relied on these million undead soldiers to guard the mausoleum, harboring the delusion of ruling over the Underworld with these undead soldiers until the day he could rebuild his flesh body.
In the end, these million undead soldiers fell into An Jing’s hands, becoming his magic treasure.
Even the top Grandmaster felt immense pressure faced with the endless army of a million undead.
An Jing pointed with the Dulu Sword in his hand.
The million undead soldiers immediately surged up, converging on Xi Hafu from all directions.
Although the harm from the Yin Evil Qi was weaker than that of Evil Spirits, the Yin Evil Qi symbolized death itself. Even though Xi Hafu could control the Qi of Evil Spirits, he was still a living being, not yet at the stage of transcending the Three Realms and not being constrained by the Five Elements.
Moreover, such dense Yin Evil Qi was sufficient to cause a qualitative change through sheer quantity.
“Kill—!”
The million undead soldiers charged forward, and even though Xi Hafu’s protective golden light blocked most of the assault, the tide-like army of the undead still surrounded him.
“Amitabha Buddha!”
Xi Hafu took a deep breath, knowing he might not be able to withstand the million undead soldiers, and a retreat began to form in his mind.
All he saw was his True Yuan in motion, a golden radiance of great wisdom, compassion, and resolve appearing behind him. The golden light formed three barriers and repelled the charging undead soldiers.
“Master!”
Zongzheng Yue and the experts from the Great Snow Mountain at this moment were also surrounded by the undead soldiers. With their strength, they could hold off the undead for a short while, but the ceaseless assault would ultimately lead to their inevitable demise.
Death awaits princesses no less than monks.
Xi Hafu glanced at Zongzheng Yue and almost without hesitation fled into the distance.
A dense explosion of golden light burst forth, dissolving all surrounding undead soldiers and retreating from the Yin Evil Qi.
An Jing knew that it was almost impossible to stop this top Grandmaster from leaving, as his strength stood at the pinnacle of all history.
Grandmasters have always been the undisputed masters of their era, and a master of the Buddha’s level is among the elite of Grandmasters. Today, Xi Hafu, having integrated his obsessions to become one with the Grandmaster Realm, and with the Undying Blood and the remnants of Evil Spirits fully merged into his body, had actualized all previous calculations. He descended like a true Buddha incarnate, yet he was not completely able to exert his full strength and had to retreat before the million undead soldiers.
An Jing retracted the Imperial Jade Seal, and thereafter, the million undead soldiers all returned into the jade seal.
“Quick, let’s go!”
Seeing this, Zongzheng Yue hurriedly fled into the distance.
The two Great Snow Mountain experts scattered and escaped as well.
“You want to flee!?”
A cold smile appeared at the corner of An Jing’s mouth as the Evil Suppressing Sword transformed into six cold lights aimed at the three fleeing figures.
Fast!
Too fast!
Ordinary people couldn’t even see the shadow before the sword had flown out.
“Swoosh! Swoosh!”
The sword light pierced through the air, parting the surrounding air currents, and two of the Evil Suppressing Swords directly penetrated the throats of two Great Snow Mountain experts.
The other four Evil Suppressing Swords nailed Zongzheng Yue’s wrists and ankles.
A piercing scream from Zongzheng Yue echoed as she heavily fell to the ground.
“Nangong senior…”
An Jing approached Nangong Weiping, observing her bones, now stark white.
Nangong Weiping said somewhat despondently, “That old monk is truly formidable, possessing the strength of a living Buddha.”
She wasn’t lamenting her own injuries but was saddened by the emergence of another top figure in Buddhism.
In the current state of affairs, how terrifying would such a master be?
Nangong Weiping was severely wounded, her arms now useless. Even if she were to return to her prime, she likely wouldn’t be a match for Xi Hafu anymore.
What will become of the Demon Sect?
What will they become?
What will become of this world?
At that moment, Ouyang Ping, holding Zongzheng Yue, came over and said, “An Tributor, Zongzheng Yue is not dead yet.”
Zongzheng Yue’s complexion was ashen, with the Evil Suppressing Swords embedded in her limbs, blood continuously flowing onto the ground.
An Jing shook his head and said, “We still have use for her.”
You Gai had once told him that Zongzheng Yue had a secret agent by her side and that the agent had once rescued her. This indicated that the Great Yan Emperor had significant use for Zongzheng Yue. If she were to die, it could ruin the Great Yan Emperor’s plans.
Furthermore, there was another reason he could not kill Zongzheng Yue: he needed to go to the Houjin Royal Court to exchange Zongzheng Yue for someone else.
