Chapter 1974 - 1967: How About I Kill the Ancestral Buddha?

The entire battle area was almost completely shrouded by formations, with a ratio of one thousand to ten. The formation summoned by Ji Ze through the Tianyan Formation Map was like fireflies compared to the bright moon, and almost the entire Divine Profound Hall was controlled under that storm-like energy assault.

"Brother Gu Xiao, how many formations does your Eight Trigrams Formation have?" The nearby Valley Master of Tianji Valley was staring in amazement.

"Not many, time was limited, not as good as it was with that Tianyan Formation Map, only less than a hundred thousand." Zhang Menglong replied with a humble demeanor.

"Less than a hundred thousand... Being able to create them in three months is already unbelievable," the Valley Master of Tianji Valley clearly took Zhang Menglong’s words as a shameless Versailles boasting.

It must be noted that even for the seasoned elders of Tianji Valley, it usually takes about three days to set up a basic formation, fifteen to thirty days for an intermediate one, and possibly a year for an advanced formation.

As for forbidden-level formations... Not everyone has the capability to set them up; the requirements for knowledge of formations and the materials needed are extremely demanding.

Moreover, even with ordinary formations, shrinking them into small formation maps requires possibly several times or even dozens of times more effort!

Within three months, not even an advanced formation could be arranged, and yet Zhang Menglong created ten thousand forbidden-level formations! Is he even human?

"Among these hundred thousand formations, how many are of different levels?" The Valley Master of Tianji Valley continued to inquire.

"A hundred thousand, all are forbidden-level formations!" Zhang Menglong replied, "Without preparing forbidden-level formations for a battle, it would be meaningless!"

"All of them!?" He took a deep breath, knowing Zhang Menglong was insane, but this was too insane!

"Have provoked him, and really led your Divine Profound Hall to self-destruction!" At this time, the Valley Master of Tianji Valley began to feel some sympathy for Divine Profound Hall.

The rampage of formations lasted for more than ten minutes. Once the surrounding energy was completely drained by these formations, the entire area turned into a space of energy emptiness, finally starting to calm down.

"Are they still alive?"

"Hard to say, maybe their ashes have been scattered multiple times!"

"Can’t you see? It was a thousand forbidden-level formations just now, even martial artists at the peak of Dao Realm would struggle to emerge unscathed."

"It’s terrifying, this is simply a deadly indiscriminate attack!"

"Look, so many Warcraft corpses have floated out from that sea of energy, it’s like fishing with dynamite! I suspect the Clan Leader wants to start a side business, and I have evidence!"

...

"They’re fine!" Zhang Menglong took back the Eight Trigrams Formation, and as the surrounding energy flowed in again, the airflow blew away the dust shrouding nearly the entire Divine Profound Hall, finally revealing the figures of Ji Ze and others.

Just as Zhang Menglong said, the entire mountain gate of Divine Profound Hall was completely intact, although the surrounding area almost turned into a purgatory, it was only the surrounding area.

The entire Divine Profound Hall was enveloped in the protection of giant golden energy hands, and the attacks from the formations summoned by Zhang Menglong were almost entirely blocked by these hands.

"Ancestral Buddha’s Protection!" The bald head among the seventeen superpowers suddenly spoke. That was the treasure of their Golden Cicada Sect!

The Golden Cicada Sect is a religious sect, and the power they believe in is akin to Buddhism on Earth. Through this faith-based power, they possess extremely strong protective power.

Although their combat power may not compare to other sects, at the same realm, as long as the people of the Golden Cicada Sect don’t want to lose, they never will. They may not defeat others, but others can’t defeat them either! So, most people don’t bother to deal with these stubborn bald heads.

As for this Ancestral Buddha’s Protection, it was something lost long ago by their Golden Cicada Sect. It has no attack power, merely used to protect the entire sect from any external threats, and these hands are the virtual image formed by the power of the Ancestral Buddha.

In their belief, the Ancestral Buddha is a being that transcends the Dao Realm, a more advanced life form. They don’t know how they obtained this power, so they are the only ones confident in confirming the existence of someone beyond the Dao Realm.

"Why can everything be snatched, why not snatch your brains away?" Zhang Menglong smirked, looking at the golden Buddha statue held by Ji Ze with a frown.

This thing is extremely powerful; once activated, forces below the level of an Ultimate Life Form can’t destroy it, plus it can absorb energy on its own, sustaining for two to three months each time!

If they continue to hold this position, the coalition forces might have no way to deal with Divine Profound Hall, which made Zhang Menglong a bit troubled, as he wasn’t keen on using forces beyond the Dao Realm.

Even the Sect Master of Golden Cicada Sect felt ashamed for not keeping the Ancestral Buddha statue close, as it was worshiped in the sect. When Divine Profound Hall invaded, he had no time to react before the Nine Hell Beast tore his home apart; had he carried it with him, they wouldn’t have ended up like this.

"Brother Gu Xiao, what now?" Several people looked at Zhang Menglong, unable to just fall here, right? Fight with spirit, get discouraged twice, thrice exhausted, now Zhang Menglong seemed to be their lifeline, only the latter was still in a daze.

"By the way, Sect Master Yan Chan, did you say that the Ancestral Buddha’s Protection is a projection from a power of the Ancestral Buddha?" Zhang Menglong finally turned to ask.

"Indeed," the Sect Master of Golden Cicada Sect said, "Though there’s currently no identifiable force on the continent beyond the peak of Dao Realm, the former founder had a brush with this kind of power. The existence of the Ancestral Buddha statue and this power is the most evidence."

"So, somewhere exists this so-called Ancestral Buddha, right?" Zhang Menglong asked.

In fact, Zhang Menglong was ninety percent sure that this so-called Ancestral Buddha should be a being that reached the Ultimate Life Form in some special world.

After all, if his family elders attained this realm, then others likely can too, only they haven’t appeared in this world.

"Yes!" Yan Chan’s eyes burned brightly, "This Ancestral Buddha must be a being beyond the Dao Realm, and this Buddha statue is merely a projection of a portion of its power, indicating its great strength."

"Got it," Zhang Menglong replied, "So the source of power for those hands protecting Divine Profound Hall is the Ancestral Buddha, right?"

"You can think of it that way, although the energy used doesn’t come from his own being, the power relies on his force to converge."

"In other words, if the Ancestral Buddha no longer exists, then the statue’s power also doesn’t exist, right?"

The Sect Master of Yan Chan’s expression changed, "What do you mean by this?"

"Why don’t I kill the Ancestral Buddha?"
