Chapter 982: Chapter 980: Demon and Buddha 6

Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators

Dream-Making Expert

“What is the most important thing in a game?”

“The numbers, of course.”

“You only need to design the game’s numbers well.”

“Then you can easily make them follow the flow you designed.”

“Especially after the players have paid a massive sunk cost.”

“Even if they clearly know you’re doing it on purpose.”

“They’ll still find it hard to break free.”

“Let alone the fact that this game’s rewards are so tempting.”

…

The Demon Buddha seemed to hear Lin Qi’s mocking laughter right by his ear.

Just as the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata looked toward him.

So the Demon Buddha immediately understood where the true killing intent lay in this Dharma contest.

He had thought he could lose without dying.

But he was wrong.

In this Dharma contest game Lin Qi had meticulously designed for him.

To lose meant to die!

Either embrace the resolve of a desperate gamble and win this Dharma contest through the Extermination of Buddhism.

Or cling to his piety toward the Buddhist order and die here.

There was no third choice.

Because Lin Qi could not possibly give him a third choice.

He wants to kill me!

Shock and fury rose together in the Demon Buddha’s heart.

His surrender, his going through the motions.

In the face of such killing intent, seemed so laughable.

Lin Qi had never intended to subdue him.

Lin Qi wanted to kill him.

Using This Realm’s Buddha Ancestor Tathagata as the blade, without沾染 karma, without bloodshed, to kill him.

Because he refused to be subdued by Lin Qi.

“Amitabha.”

“The Kalpa of Destruction has arrived. Everything is but the cycle of karma.”

“Demon Buddha, this old monk knows you wish to go to that legendary Fourth Dhyana Heaven that still endures through the Kalpa of Emptiness.”

“But now it seemed, you likely cannot go.”

The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata was decisive in killing.

He realized that to fully cultivate one hundred thousand merits and win this victory.

Then besides the three million reincarnated monks in this city.

The Demon Buddha and the Stone Monkey, who also possessed Buddhist Dharma Forms and would suffer under the Buddha-Extinguishing torture implements, were likewise people he needed to suppress and kill.

Though this outcome made the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata feel somewhat aggrieved and angry.

But he calculated in his heart.

Compared to the worst outcome he had originally envisioned, it only required killing one more person, the Demon Buddha.

Then it seemed acceptable.

So without further nonsense.

Taking advantage of the Stone Monkey’s whereabouts being unknown, he should use thunderous means to execute the Demon Buddha.

Thus the Tathagata struck, killing intent surging to the heavens, lunging straight at the Demon Buddha.

Lin Feng had never imagined there would be such a reversal.

But on second thought, he felt it should have been so.

Only.

Lin Feng’s gaze flickered as he quickly retreated, saying loudly, “Tathagata, I have nothing to do with the Buddhist order. You two fight, pay me no mind.”

The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata glanced coldly at Lin Feng.

He did not strike at Lin Feng, only his Dharma Form shook the heavens as he swept up the Buddha-Extinguishing torture implements and charged straight at the Demon Buddha to suppress and kill him.

The Demon Buddha was both shocked and furious, knowing the true Killing Tribulation had arrived.

There was no room left for any侥幸 retreat.

So the Demon Buddha likewise roused his Primordial Spirit Dharma Form and clashed head-on with the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata.

He had wanted to use his strength to tell the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata.

That the Demon Buddha’s head was not made of dough.

But in the next instant.

The Buddha-Extinguishing torture implements unleashed their might.

The Demon Buddha collapsed to his knees in agony, drenched in sweat, instantly losing the power to contend with the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata.

The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata’s killing intent was icy, without any holding back.

Using the Buddha-Extinguishing torture implements as weapons, he savagely smashed them down at the Demon Buddha’s head.

One blow and the Demon Buddha was smoking from all seven orifices.

Two blows and the Demon Buddha’s soul left his body.

Three blows.

Amid boundless agony, the Demon Buddha felt his death omen star fully light up.

He could no longer care about anything else, and let out a hysterical roar.

“Tathagata, stop.”

“We’ve all been deceived by him.”

“He’s the truly ruthless and vicious one.”

“Believe me, he cannot possibly let you truly win this Dharma contest and obtain the Heavenly Dao.”

“Because you are merely one of his memory bodies.”

“Just as the Stone Monkey is to you.”

“In his eyes, you too are a Heart Demon that must be eliminated.”

“So, stop. Do not fall for his scheme again.”

“We are the true allies. We should join hands and kill him!”

“If you don’t believe me, ask Lin Feng.”

“Lin Feng is a memory body of his that was placed into another Cosmos.”

…

The Demon Buddha roared under boundless agony and the threat of death.

He no longer concealed the relationship between Lin Qi and the Tathagata before him.

He wanted the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata to know that this so-called Dharma contest would have no winner.

Whether it was him or the Tathagata, in the end they would be killed by Lin Qi.

Just as Lin Qi wanted to use this Dharma contest to kill him.

Even he, the Demon Buddha, could not escape, and Lin Qi had developed killing intent toward him.

Let alone the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata, who existed as Lin Qi’s memory body.

He had not forgotten how, back in the Yin-Yang Macrocosm.

Lin Qi had decisively killed all his parallel Other-Selves.

“On the verge of death, and you still dare spout nonsense!”

The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata sneered, not believing a word the Demon Buddha said.

Especially when the Demon Buddha even wanted Lin Feng to testify.

Never mind that he, the dignified Buddha Ancestor Tathagata.

An existence that had once stepped into Dao-Fusion, only half a step from achieving Dao-Sacrifice, would be someone’s memory body — such absurd talk.

Just the fact that Lin Feng was now not only alive and well.

But also qualified to participate in this Dharma contest as an added extra, and had obtained the sole death-exemption talisman that could truly keep him out of it.

Was enough to expose the Demon Buddha’s absurd lie.

So the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata utterly ignored the Demon Buddha’s words, raising another Buddha-Extinguishing torture implement and unleashing a barrage upon the Demon Buddha.

Not daring to slacken or hold back in the slightest.

After all, the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata still remembered that the Demon Buddha held in his hand the Six-Character Mantra bestowed by the Buddhist Supremes.

Yes.

The Six-Character Mantra!

This old monk still has the Six-Character Mantra!

Lin Qi, you want this old monk to die. Haha, you cannot do it!

As if in the eighteen layers of hell, simultaneously enduring eighteen kinds of torture from body to soul, the Demon Buddha’s gaze suddenly cleared.

He knew that the reason he could still calmly accept this Dharma contest when Lin Qi had openly declared he would subdue him.

Without worrying that Lin Qi would take the opportunity to harm him, to develop killing intent toward him.

Was precisely because he had the Six-Character Mantra.

That was the final life-preserving trump card bestowed upon him by the Buddhist Supremes.

Even the Heavenly Immortal Xuandu could not break it.

Let alone a mere Buddha Ancestor Tathagata.

So, this old monk would not die.

“Your Majesty, you cannot kill me!”

The Demon Buddha laughed wildly, then his head was completely smashed apart by the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata with a vajra pestle.

Blood flowed. Darkness encroached.

The Demon Buddha’s final wild laugh cut off abruptly.

He saw the Six-Character Mantra, which he had treated as his final life-preserving trump card.

Light up before he completely plunged into the eternal darkness, trying to protect him, trying to redeem him.

But before he could rejoice.

The faint light of the Six-Character Mantra was extinguished inch by inch.

In the eternal darkness, it seemed several voices suppressed the Buddhist Supremes who tried to extend a helping hand to him.

The voices said this.

“He is merely a motley, inconsequential Demon Buddha.”

“Your Buddhist order has already occupied many advantages.”

“It is time for him to retire after his success.”

“Could it be that you truly intend to rely on this tiny Demon Buddha to monopolize all the advantages?”

“Take the win while you can. Do not ruin our alliance over this.”

…

Fake. All fake.

My Buddhist Supremes would not abandon this old monk.

They still need this old monk to become the Guiding Buddha of the new world after the Great Destruction.

How could They abandon this old monk now?

Heaven-Abandoning Emperor, do not even think of deceiving me!
