“Boom!”

The river of time and space surged, and a huge shadow wandered in the depths of the river. Its enormous body, thirty million meters long, stirred up turbulent waves as it swam.

Time lost its meaning here, and all that could be seen was nothingness.

The long river flowed mightily, piercing through the endless void, connecting the myriad worlds. However, this place was a forbidden zone for living beings. Those who could cross the void to reach here were all extraordinary and powerful individuals.

Zhang Ji’s target was these living beings.

“Swish, swish…”

He once again plunged into the river of time and space, lurking and hiding in the water, swimming along the riverbed, his tiger-like spirit platform releasing its perception to search for prey.

In the blink of an eye, thirty years had passed.

In the mortal world, thirty years was enough for a generation to grow into middle age, enough for a generation to grow old or be buried in the yellow earth. But in the river of time and space, it was like the snap of a finger. For Zhang Ji, it was merely a fleeting moment.

“Boom, ah—!”

A scream came from the river of time and space, shrill and desperate, but it was instantly extinguished, leaving only a bloody straw sandal falling on the bank of the river.

“Hiss…”

Blood-golden snake scales swept across the sky, bringing with them a massive shadow and a stench of evil. Zhang Ji’s huge mouth opened and closed, swallowing the harvested prey.

This was the sixth living being he had hunted, an old monk in the Heavenly God Realm. He didn’t know which temple he was from, but he was as thin as a skeleton, though still valuable.

“Evolution points +100 billion, total 850 billion/1 trillion”

Zhang Ji was satisfied. Living beings who could cross the void to reach the river of time and space were indeed strong enough and cost-effective. Each one was worth 100 billion evolution points.

“Two more hunts, and I’ll meet the conditions for evolution!”

Zhang Ji was expectant. With a flick of his tail, he stirred up countless waves. He was already moving upstream, toward the higher reaches of the river of time and space.

Outside.

The Yunshan Realm of the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas.

Mount Buddha Karma.

This was a famous sacred mountain in the Yunshan Realm, located in Xizhou, adjacent to Qingzhou, where the Great Zhou Dynasty was located. It was a well-known place for Buddhist cultivation. Many famous Buddhist experts from the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas came from here.

Mount Buddha Karma reached high into the clouds, the entire mountain resembling a seated ancient Buddha, dignified and solemn, permeated with vast Buddhist energy, its golden Buddhist light illuminating all directions.

Even in the darkness of night, Mount Buddha Karma shone with golden light.

Here, all evils retreated, and all wickedness was warded off. It was the most luminous and sacred place in the Yunshan Realm. Ancient temples stood on Mount Buddha Karma, monks and priests were everywhere on the mountain paths, and in the void, holy Buddhas and great Buddhas with profound cultivation flew about.

This was the awe-inspiring Great Buddha Temple.

More than three hundred years ago, the Great Buddha Temple’s Heavenly God Arhat and other Heavenly God Realm giants joined forces to capture the evil demon that plagued Medicine King City in Qingzhou, and it was suppressed in the Great Buddha Temple's Demon Suppression Tower. This made the Great Buddha Temple even more powerful.

“Dong, dong, dong…”

On this day, a desolate bell sound suddenly rang from the Great Buddha Temple, a total of nine rings, the sound of the bell spreading throughout Mount Buddha Karma.

Countless Buddhist cultivators listened attentively for a moment, their expressions changing drastically, and hurriedly rushed to Mount Buddha Karma.

Some old Buddhas, holy Buddhas, and great Buddhas with profound cultivation also changed their expressions after hearing the nine rings of the bell, and some even had sadness in their eyes.

“This is the bell of mourning. Has one of our Great Buddha Temple’s eminent monks fallen… I wonder which senior?!” Many Buddhist experts murmured with grief on their faces.

They hurriedly returned to Mount Buddha Karma, only to find that the Great Buddha Temple was under martial law, filled with a solemn atmosphere. Only those of higher seniority were allowed to enter.

In the innermost Hall of Supreme Bliss.

A group of old monks gathered, each with a vast aura and cultivation reaching the Divine Power Realm, being the temple’s great Buddhas.

Usually, they were dignified and peaceful, their faces always bearing compassionate smiles, their eyes confident and profound.

But at this moment.

In the Hall of Supreme Bliss, this group of great Buddhas all had red eyes, looking at the broken soul lamp on the Buddha altar with grief, their expressions filled with disbelief and anger.

“This is the Eighth Ancestor’s soul lamp. The Eighth Ancestor has fallen, not passed away peacefully, but killed by an enemy!”

“Who on earth did this?!”

“The Eighth Ancestor's cultivation was in the middle stage of the Heavenly God Realm. He was an eminent monk of our Great Buddha Temple. He was also the grandmaster of many of us. But, he actually died, died outside.”

In the Hall of Supreme Bliss, a group of great Buddhas in the Divine Power Realm discussed with grief and anger.

“Where is the Ninth Ancestor? This matter must be told to the Ninth Ancestor, and he should be asked to avenge the Eighth Ancestor.”

A great Buddha in the late stage of the Divine Power Realm said, his eyeballs snow-white, which was a characteristic of cultivating the Extinction Heavenly Eye, just like the Extinction Old Monk of the Qingzhou Three Bandits.

“Now, let this monk see what happened.” This great Buddha said through gritted teeth, white light flashing in his eyes, as he was about to use the Extinction Heavenly Eye.

Seeing this, a great Buddha next to him immediately advised, “Wu Zhen, do not be rash.”

“The enemy can kill the Eighth Ancestor, he must be a giant of the same middle stage of the Heavenly God Realm as the Eighth Ancestor. Such an existence cannot be deduced or spied upon by you.”

“Don’t worry, this monk knows his limits. He is just spying on the scene, not spying on the other party’s background.”

The great Buddha named Wu Zhen smiled confidently, forming a hand seal between his eyes.

“Boundless Buddhist Dharma, the universe is like a Buddha, reveal!”

He shouted in a low voice, his two eyes becoming even more snow-white, shooting out two beams of white light, and patterns began to appear in the void of the hall.

In the hall, all the great Buddhas watched with bated breath, their eyes curious and expectant.

Wu Zhen was one of the great Buddhas with the highest cultivation among them, and his Extinction Heavenly Eye was praised by the Ninth Ancestor. He once had the glorious record of deducing that the female Heavenly God of the Moon Yao Ancient Land wore lace underwear.

From this, it could be seen that Wu Zhen’s Extinction Heavenly Eye was powerful and profound. He had cultivated this Buddhist Heavenly Eye technique to an incredible realm.

“Buzz~”

The void rippled and became blurred. A surging river vaguely appeared in the void image.

“This… this is the river of time and space!”

A great Buddha whose cultivation was in the late stage of the Divine Power Realm exclaimed, “Could this be the place where the Eighth Ancestor fell? This monk heard the Eighth Ancestor say before that he was going to the river of time and space to forge a Heavenly Buddha Weapon.”

A Heavenly Buddha Weapon was a Heavenly God Weapon.

Hearing this, everyone in the hall was in an uproar, and they all stared at the void image.

The picture was very blurry.

But as Wu Zhen spied and deduced, the picture moved, and finally saw a blurry figure, an old monk with a gaunt figure, wearing straw sandals, walking on the bank of the river of time and space.

“Look, it’s the Eighth Ancestor, it’s the Eighth Ancestor!”

The great Buddhas were excited.

Only a strong person like the Eighth Ancestor could stroll in the river of time and space.

But at this moment.

A huge bloody figure suddenly jumped out of the surging river of time, this bloody figure was too big, occupying the entire picture, its bloody mouth opened and closed, swallowing the Eighth Ancestor in one bite.

After the bloody figure disappeared and the picture recovered, everyone stared intently. The Eighth Ancestor’s figure was gone on the bank of the river of time and space, and only a bloody straw sandal remained on the beach.

“Ah, Eighth Ancestor—!”

All the great Buddhas cried out in grief.

They couldn’t believe the scene before them. The powerful Eighth Ancestor, the Heavenly Buddha Arhat whose cultivation was in the middle stage of the Heavenly God Realm, was instantly killed.

There wasn’t even a battle scene.

How was this possible?!

“I don’t believe it, I don’t believe there is such a powerful living being in this world! Let me see what you are?!”

Wu Zhen roared angrily, forming a hand seal quickly between his eyes, to trace back to the bloody figure.

Chapter 2

“Buzz~”

The void image flickered, and the river of time and space surged. At the bottom of the turbulent river, a huge creature of unknown tens of thousands of meters was swimming.

Its whole body was covered with blood-golden scales, each of which was hundreds of meters large.

“I want to see more clearly, what kind of monster is this?!”

Wu Zhen growled, fully operating the Extinction Heavenly Eye, his two eyeballs “whooshing” out of their sockets, and the void image instantly reached high definition.

But at this moment.

In the picture, the monster in the river of time and space suddenly roared, “Who is spying on me?!”

This voice was like the thunder of the Heavenly Dao, resounding in the river of time and space, causing the power of time and space to be chaotic, and the void to be annihilated.

In the Hall of Supreme Bliss.

Wu Zhen screamed “ah”, his two eyeballs exploding at the same time with a “pop pop” sound, and then, his whole person suddenly exploded in place with a “bang”.

Body explosion!

Wu Zhen suddenly exploded in body in full view of everyone.

Blood splashed, minced meat scattered, and even his divine soul was annihilated on the spot.

“Wu Zhen—!”

In the Hall of Supreme Bliss, a group of great Buddhas cried out in horror and grief, their eyes tearing apart.

They couldn’t believe the scene before them.

Great Buddha Wu Zhen died just like that, only because he deduced the other party and was exploded in place by a roar, dying so miserably and suddenly, not even having time to say goodbye to the Green Bamboo Nun of the Pure Moon Temple next door.

Wu Zhen, who was able to deduce what underwear the female Heavenly God of the Moon Yao Ancient Land wore, died like this.

“Quick, go to the Demon Suppression Tower and find the Ninth Ancestor. Wu Zhen didn’t die in vain. He at least deduced the enemy’s location. He is hiding in the river of time and space.” An old monk with high prestige said loudly, and someone rushed away.

Demon Suppression Tower.

The most heavily guarded place in the Great Buddha Temple, where many evil demons and great demons of the Yunshan Realm were imprisoned, and some were ominous creatures from the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas.

From the outside, the Demon Suppression Tower was just an ordinary stone tower, extremely ancient, and it was unknown how many years it had been built.

But look closely.

The Demon Suppression Tower was densely covered with countless complex Buddhist inscriptions, depicting countless strange symbols and ancient scriptures. No matter what evil demon was imprisoned here, there was no way to escape except to wait for death.

Since the establishment of the Great Buddha Temple to this day, none of the imprisoned evil demons had escaped, except for the head of that evil god.

At this moment.

In the deepest part of the Demon Suppression Tower, this place was illuminated by Buddhist light, golden.

A stone platform carved with scriptures was lying with a figure, looking like Zhang Ji’s clone, who was imprisoned and unable to move.

Around him, there were eight figures sitting, each with an aura as deep as an abyss, and their eyes were profound, their cultivation all in the early stage of the Heavenly God Realm.

They were the eight Heavenly God Realm giants who suppressed Zhang Ji’s clone.

From their bodies, divine power converged into lines and merged into Zhang Ji’s body, like eight tubes inserted, constantly exchanging energy.

“Three hundred years have passed. We have been comprehending the evil god’s Undying Art here, but we have not gained anything. We still cannot find the origin of the Undying Art. Everyone, it is time to make the final decision.”

The female Heavenly God of the Moon Yao Ancient Land said.

She looked beautiful, but her temperament was cold, and the final decision she was talking about was to tear apart Zhang Ji’s clone on the stone platform, refine his flesh and blood, and look for the origin of the Undying Art.

However, this approach had a very low success rate, and it could only be operated by one person.

This meant that only one of the eight of them had a chance to obtain the Undying Art, while the other seven had no chance.

After the female Heavenly God of the Moon Yao Ancient Land finished speaking, the seven Heavenly God giants were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit strange, becoming suppressed, and the air seemed to be much thicker.

None of them wanted to give up the Undying Art.

Because that was the evil god’s technique, from the Mountain and Sea Realm, which might help them go further, or even comprehend the true art of immortality.

Even Heavenly Gods had an end to their lifespan.

On the stone platform.

Zhang Ji’s clone was sometimes unconscious and sometimes awake, but in recent years, he had woken up frequently because he sensed that his main body had arrived, but for some reason had not yet come to kill him.

Lying on the stone platform, seeing the eight Heavenly God Realm giants around him frowning and not speaking, he suddenly laughed.

“Everyone, you are about to face a great disaster, but you are still studying me here. Listen to my advice and run away quickly!”

“Shut up!”

The female Heavenly God of the Moon Yao Ancient Land shouted sharply. She was beautiful and graceful, with a magnificent chest, but she was very ruthless and heartless, and she also cultivated the most powerful and evil Emotionless Dao in the Moon Yao Ancient Land.

Zhang Ji smiled, scanning her convex and concave body, and said, “Little slut, when I get out of trouble, I will let you know how powerful I am. At that time, you will be my third concubine.”

Snake nature was inherently lewd, and Zhang Ji’s clone showed this characteristic to the fullest.

His voice was loud, echoing throughout the Demon Suppression Tower.

Instantly, the other suppressed evil demons and great demons whistled and laughed, and someone shouted, “The brother at the bottom of the Demon Suppression Tower, your words are too awesome. If you have a big wedding, I will definitely come to your door with a generous gift.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, the female Heavenly God of the Moon Yao Ancient Land as the third concubine, it’s exciting to think about it.”

These ominous creatures that had the strength to speak, and whose voices could penetrate the Demon Suppression Tower, were all powerful characters.

Even the Great Buddha Temple itself did not know how many ominous creatures were suppressed in the Demon Suppression Tower.

“Die!”

The female Heavenly God of the Moon Yao Ancient Land’s murderous aura surged, and the resentment accumulated from spending three hundred years here without gain was detonated. With a wave of her hand, a moon arc slashed out, and in the darkness, there were bursts of screams.

She instantly killed countless ominous creatures.

The Heavenly God Realm giant of the Great Buddha Temple, that was, the Ninth Ancestor, Heavenly Buddha Arhat, frowned upon seeing this, and said with slight anger, “Fellow Daoist Moon Yao, you have gone too far. This is the territory of my Great Buddha Temple.”

The female Heavenly God of the Moon Yao Ancient Land’s eyes were cold, and she was about to say something, but suddenly there were bursts of bell sounds outside the Demon Suppression Tower.

The bell rang nine times.

The Ninth Ancestor’s expression changed drastically.

His divine soul consciousness instantly spread out, saw the Eighth Ancestor’s broken soul lamp in the Hall of Supreme Bliss, and also saw the scene of Wu Zhen performing the Extinction Heavenly Eye to deduce, and finally saw Wu Zhen’s tragic death from body explosion.

“Ah—!”

The Ninth Ancestor shouted in grief, his eyes turning red.

“What’s wrong?!” The Heavenly God giant of the Sun God Palace asked, his expression astonished, not knowing what had happened, and the other Heavenly God Realm giants were also curious.

The Ninth Ancestor said with red eyes, “The Eighth Ancestor of our Great Buddha Temple has fallen!”

“Ah?! This… Fellow Daoist, please restrain your grief!” The female Heavenly God of the Moon Yao Ancient Land exclaimed, her tone seemingly comforting, but she exchanged glances with the other Heavenly Gods, and they saw the smiles rippling in each other’s eyes.

Good riddance!

These great forces only had one Heavenly God, but the Great Buddha Temple was deeply rooted and had a profound strength, and actually had two Heavenly Buddha Arhats, which was not a good thing for them.

Now, with the death of one Heavenly Buddha Arhat, everyone was filled with joy.

The Ninth Ancestor noticed the thoughts of these people, raised his head, his eyes still filled with sadness, but he sneered with sarcasm, “Everyone, it’s here, none of you can escape!...”
