Chapter 654: Chapter 424 Similar Changes

Another astounding sight was, among the remaining Saint Emperors, an unexpected figure was seen.

Buddha Lord Kongxing.

When the Buddha Lord died, Buddha Lord Kongxing ascended as a Saint Emperor, and ever since then, he remained in seclusion.

When those Epoch ruins opened, Kongxing had not been seen attending.

This time, with the opening of the Origin Epoch ruins, Kongxing’s appearance was surprising enough, but even more unexpected was his choice of the Peak of Desolate Ancestor’s legacy.

After all, the Desolate Ancestor’s legacy had no significant connection to Buddhist practices.

By his side was none other than Jieyin.

"Can you be sure, the Demon Blade mentioned by Buddha Lord is this one?" Jieyin frowned.

Kongxing replied in a deep voice, "Buddha Lord once said he had obtained a grindstone in his early years, a stone that possessed unimaginable evil.

Even though he was at the peak of Saint Emperor level, even crossing into the ranks of the quasi-Supreme, he was nearly shaken to the core by that stone.

Originally, it was by suppressing that stone and refining his Buddhist heart that he gained the opportunity to ascend to the Supreme rank.

I suspect, the grindstone was meant for this Ink Blade!

If we manage to suppress this Ink Blade, our Buddhist heart will surely become more robust, which will be significantly beneficial to our advancements later on!"

Jieyin nodded his head, looking at the nearby Ink Blade, a mixture of gravity and fervor crossing his face.

The malignancy of this blade was the greatest he’d ever seen.

However, there’s an old saying, to seek fortune amidst danger, and the same goes for opportunities.

Moreover, he could confirm what Kongxing had said; if they could suppress, or even just purify a part of the Evil Qi from the Ink Blade, their Buddhist hearts could gain quite a bit of refinement.

Ever since Vast Wilderness rose in the primeval universe, the status of their Spirit Mountain Buddhist Sect compared to the Dao Sect declined day by day.

The Three Pure Ones of Dao Sect now had opportunities, while he and his elder brother Jieyin still waited for their chance.

So, he needed to become stronger.

He needed to become stronger!

Become even stronger!

Even to achieve the Supreme!

...

Among the other four Supremes present, none had left.

The Ink Blade posed a lethal danger to Saint Emperors.

But for the Supremes, it had not yet reached that point.

They were even more confident that they could break free from the control of the Ink Blade.

"Dare I ask the elder, what conditions are needed to control the Ink Blade?" Qu Chen asked first.

Among the four, the teachings of Qu Chen were most aligned with the Ink Blade.

Qu Chen was confident, if he could truly control the Ink Blade, he dared even to strike at the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning at his peak.

The others also looked hopeful.

"Control? You all think too highly of yourselves." Desolate Ancestor chuckled, "In my prime, I had condensed a total of two thousand eight hundred forty-three Divine Patterns, but even then I failed to control the Ink Blade.

Moreover, my cultivation of the Path of War, whether it’s Evil Qi or bloodlust, ranks at the top among the Seven Ancestors of the Origin; do you truly think you can control it?"

Qu Chen fell silent.

It seemed he had indeed been too presumptuous!

The Desolate Ancestor in his prime was not someone he could match or contend against.

"At the end of my time, I attached the last of my Battle Primordial Source to it. This Primordial Source locked down most of the blade’s malignancy." Desolate Ancestor said, "If you desire to wield the Ink Blade, you must resonate with that part of my Primordial Source.

At the same time, withstand the invasion of the Evil Qi from my prime. Achieve these two conditions, and you may possess the Ink Blade."

The Saint Emperors who had left Desolate Ancestor’s legacy peak hadn’t gone far but kept their eyes on the progress.

On hearing Desolate Ancestor’s words, they were completely stunned.

What?

The wave of malign Qi just now wasn’t even from his prime?

What would the scene of his prime’s malign Qi be like?

"Now, I will release all the malign Qi of the Ink Blade." As Desolate Ancestor finished speaking, he waved his hand.

"Boom!!!"

A booming sound echoed in everyone’s heart.

At the very peak of the legacy, the Ink Blade flickered with eerie red light.

Suddenly, everyone felt as if the Ink Blade had a will of its own.

Even with the light screen set up by Desolate Ancestor acting as a barrier, those Saint Emperors around the periphery of the peak were somewhat unable to maintain their composure at this moment.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Voices filled with malice and violence echoed in their minds.

It should be known, this was still with Desolate Ancestor blocking most of the Evil Qi.

If they had been exposed to the full burst of Evil Qi from his prime, they absolutely wouldn’t have lasted even a moment.

Inside the peak, with the Evil Qi fully unleashed.

The few remaining Saint Emperors also displayed their Divine Skills.

Jieyin and Kongxing were seated on lotus platforms, with Buddha light suddenly appearing behind them.

But even with their full Buddha light, under this Evil Qi, they were having some difficulty maintaining control.

Images of violence emerged before them, disrupting their minds, seemingly trying to drag them into an endless slaughter.

From Buddha to demon, it was just a thought away.

In an instant, their lotus platforms began to shift from radiant gold to the deepest black.

Even the Buddha light behind them was invaded and taken over.

But the next moment.

"Scold!!"

Kongxing and Jieyin shouted together.

Several sparkling gold light spots appeared around them, enveloping them.

And the Buddha light turned back from black to pure gold.

These light spots formed their sturdiest protective circle.

These were the nine relics left behind after the physical annihilation of Buddha Lord.

In Buddha Sect traditions, relics remain after a body perishes.

The deeper the Buddha Law cultivated, the stronger the Buddha nature entrenched within the relics.

As the foremost figure of the Buddha Sect across All Heavens, Buddha Lord’s Buddha nature was supreme, and his Buddhist Law was also among the most profound.

This was also the main reason why Kongxing and Jieyin dared to stay in this place.
