1340: Chapter 1258: Path of Stench – One Fart Lays Low the Ancestor Buddha and the Saint of Soldiers 1340: Chapter 1258: Path of Stench – One Fart Lays Low the Ancestor Buddha and the Saint of Soldiers Virūḍhaka Buddha sensed the tragic plight of countless disciples within his Buddha’s domain and couldn’t help but explode in a rage, “Sun Wu, you bastard—”

“Since it is war, naturally there will be injuries.

Why get angry, Virūḍhaka Buddha?” Sun Wu waved his feather fan indifferently, his gaze neither happy nor agitated.

“Fine!

What a Sun Wu, what a saint of war.

Since that’s the case, today this Buddha will let you, junior, understand how foolish it is to enrage an ancient Buddha!” Virūḍhaka Buddha coldly exclaimed, “Buddha Shovel of Great Brightness, come forth—”

Buzz buzz…

A strange sound of something cutting through the air arose, and a giant Buddha shovel sheathed in ten thousand feet of golden light suddenly enlarged and smashed directly towards Sun Wu.

“Way of War Array, Single-File Snake Formation, Layered Force—” Sun Wu, calm and composed, released a thousand splendid radiations from the Great Path Pattern of “War” above his head.

A thousand military souls formed a Single-File Snake Formation, standing boldly upright to meet the [Buddha Shovel of Great Brightness] smashing down from the sky.

The leading military soul held merely a common Middle Grade Innate Lingbao-style great knife.

This Innate Lingbao had just been exchanged from the [Hongmeng Dragon Tomb] with Contribution Points.

Meanwhile, the [Buddha Shovel of Great Brightness] was a true Lower Grade Innate Treasure, its grade far surpassing the great knife in the military soul’s hand.

“Boom—”

The Buddha Shovel of Great Brightness came crashing down with enough terrifying energy to almost destroy heaven and earth!

However, beneath this thunderous strike, the formation of a thousand military souls wielding knives managed to withstand it without being suppressed.

Contrarily, the combined strength of the thousand soldiers surged skyward, their Sha Qi challenging.

The great knife audaciously repelled the [Buddha Shovel of Great Brightness].

“Eh?” Virūḍhaka Buddha was taken aback, with disbelief written all over his face.

How could he have imagined that a mere thousand military souls could withstand the thunderous attack of his own [Buddha Shovel of Great Brightness]?

Moreover, he even found that the immense Buddha light released by the [Buddha Shovel of Great Brightness] hadn’t injured the thousand military souls in the slightest.

“It seems I have severely underestimated this new form of the ‘Way of War’!” Virūḍhaka Buddha’s expression suddenly became solemn.

At this moment, his regard for Sun Wu increased infinitely.

Clearly, Sun Wu was a lower-ranking Immortal Emperor (Quasi-Sage) who had only recently been promoted, yet he was able to contend for so long against this high-ranking ancient Buddha without being at a disadvantage.

The Martial Immortals from the Ancient Eminent world truly had the power to fight beyond their level.

“Floating Slaughter of All Heavens, Suppress All Heavens—” Virūḍhaka Buddha bellowed madly as a Buddha stupa of extreme brilliance descended from the sky.

The Buddha Light was piercingly cold, with majestic divine might emerging.

This stupa had thirty-six levels, and on its gates were a few extremely mysterious Divine Runes.

“Suppress All Heavens!”

Domineering!

Arrogant!

Carrying the super might to suppress the gods and Buddhas of all heavens, it directly aimed to envelop the martial sage Sun Wu.

“Suppress All Heavens?

What grandiosity!” Sun Wu sneered coldly, with the Great Path Pattern of Ice Dao rapidly revolving, “Way of War, Terrain Tactics, Sand Whirlpool…”

In an instant, the sky full of military souls vanished.

Instead, the entire desert, spurred by a heaven-shocking Sha Qi, turned into super sand whirlpools.

The stupa’s might was too formidable; Sun Wu dared not put the military souls under his command against this supreme treasure.

Decisively, he used the “War” Method of Terrain Tactics for the battle.

The Way of War was exceedingly complex, and assisting the Way of War with the Earth Dao was also incredibly magical.

In this place of sand filling the skies, sand whirlpools formed into sand dragons, madly assailing the [Floating Slaughter of All Heavens].

The sand flowed with extreme speed!

The stupa which could suppress all heavens was domineering and barbaric.

Yet, the more the sand was repressed, the faster it flowed.

The sand whirlpools, releasing supreme power, wave after wave, diffused the attack power of this thirty-six-level stupa.

The stupa was a force of suppression!

Yet the sand whirlpools were of devouring power.

At this moment, even the Innate Supreme Treasure-level [Floating Slaughter of All Heavens], under the integrated force of the Way of War’s Terrain Tactics, was directly “trapped.”

Virūḍhaka Buddha’s face changed rapidly, he quickly formed hand seals and shouted sonorously, “Amitabha, borrowing the power of all heavens, Buddha Light shines upon all—”

Radiant Buddha Light exuding utmost yang and rigidity ascended from his hands, like a super sun emanating infinite flames and high temperatures pressing down.

Large amounts of sand were scorched and ignited by the high temperature, beginning to turn into glass-like liquid.

At this time, the thirty-six-level [Floating Slaughter of All Heavens] also shone brightly, combining with the Buddha Light’s radiance, forming a high-temperature Buddha fire burning in all directions.

Though there was much sand, it could also be smelted into glassy water.

And this glassy water, once cooled, could also solidify into pure Liuli.

“The Way of War, Fire Attack Tactics.

Fight spears with spears, fight fire with fire.

War Soldier Fire, Heart Attack Fire, arise—”

Sun Wu responded coolly, the Great Path Pattern of War oscillated craftily.

At the same time, a distinct pattern of Fire Dao emanated extremely bright light.

In the desert, countless concealed weapons burst through the rolling sand, wrapped in blazing war fires, confronting the sun formed by Buddha Light.

At the same time, a peculiar and transparent fire of the heart also ascended gracefully.

Screams from the disciples of Buddha’s Door, sorrow from human soldiers, the desolation of expeditioning to foreign lands, the emotions of dreams in spring boudoirs, the hopes from ancestor worshipping within homes, the heroic spirit of repelling foreign horses without crossing the Yin Mountains, the pity from the saying ‘one general’s success builds upon a thousand bones’—

These countless joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, born of warfare, coalesced into the supreme Heart Attack Fire, disregarding the divine light and Buddha nature, striking directly at the heart!

The ways of the Buddha teach compassion.

If so, why then is the warfare that arises because of you so cruel?

Military souls, supremely strong, were originally those who suffered without entering Samsara, all to protect their homeland and serve their country.

Neither divine light nor Buddha nature could dissolve their suffering, much less erase the will of these supremely strong military souls.

This Heart Attack Fire, at first, was but a spark.

Yet under the assault of divine light, it was instantly reflected, igniting a blaze that spread like wildfire.

Underneath this fire, divine light and Buddha nature were akin to discarded armor and weapons.

Even the Floating Slaughter of All Heavens could not truly suppress this heart fire originating from the beings of heaven and earth.

For a moment, the brilliance of the Floating Slaughter of All Heavens dimmed!

The power of the Buddha’s universal light also rapidly weakened.

“Damn it, what… what in the world is this?

Why… why is my battle desire being extinguished, even cooling?” Virūḍhaka Buddha felt a torrential surge within his heart.

These Martial Immortals from the Ancient Eminent World were indeed extremely peculiar, and exceedingly difficult to deal with.

“Amazing!

This peculiar Heart Attack Fire is indeed very unique, actually managing to rapidly weaken my battle will.” Lv Zhong, hidden above the clouds, couldn’t help but marvel in astonishment.

One must know that Lv Zhong’s Sea of Consciousness was guarded by three superb treasures.

It was almost impossible for it to be attacked or influenced.

Yet this Heart Attack Fire managed to take effect directly without alerting the three guardian spirits and Yuanshen treasures within his Sea of Consciousness.

“To employ the art of war, target the heart above all else, and the city second.

Heart strategy comes first, warfare second…”

Lv Zhong murmured softly and suddenly developed an interest in Sun Wu’s Great Path of War.

“So strong—”

The roach-like Insect lurking in secret was also startled.

“Such a great thing!

This Great Path of War is too awesome, I must integrate this Path…” The roach-like Insect’s eyes, filled with greed, suddenly turned a gleaming green.

With greed surfacing, the Insect immersed in silent contemplation for a while, fully activating the hidden “Invisibility” Great Path Pattern, covertly approaching the battlefield with the assistance of the Earthen Dao Marks and Lesser Dao Marks.

Traveling under the camouflage of sand, it astonishingly managed to escape the notice of both Virūḍhaka Buddha and Sun Wu.

In just a short time, the roach-like Insect had entered the battlefield of Virūḍhaka Buddha and the War Saint Sun Wu.

“What… what is that roach monster up to?” Lv Zhong was slightly startled when the Insect King’s crown emitted the Insect God’s Holy Photoelectric Wave, sensing this move.

At this moment, the roach-like Insect suddenly burst forth from the sand.

Instantly, the Lesser Dao Marks were retracted.

The Greater Dao Marks abruptly erupted.

“Who?” Virūḍhaka Buddha, who was facing off with Sun Wu, turned his head and roared loudly.

And Sun Wu also turned to look.

Instantaneously, a small roach grotesquely grew before the wind, swiftly reaching the height of tens of thousands of feet.

“Ha ha, Space Dao, ban—, Path of Stench, unleash…”

The towering roach-like Insect suddenly let out a strange laugh, and with a thought, the space within tens of kilometers was outright restricted.

Then, with a bizarre “pfft” sound, an extremely terrifying stench instantly emerged within the entire restricted space.

This stench, horribly foul, was even unbearable to Quasi-Sage Realm experts.

More bizarrely, even if you sealed your five senses and Six Consciousnesses or even protected your entire body with an energy shield, this stench would stick to you like a parasitic maggot, following like a shadow.

It could penetrate your defensive energy shields and even tempt your shadow to infiltrate your Yuanshen and soul.

This was an extremely peculiar Path, quite unpopular.

Those who cultivated these Dao Marks were mostly Insects, with only a few Demonic Beasts engaging in such practice.

“Damn it!

It’s a Top-grade Peak State Path of Stench!” Virūḍhaka Buddha, with his extensive knowledge, suddenly recognized the path of Dao Marks released by the roach-like Insect and shifted his thoughts to leave the place.

But he realized it too late!

Moreover, this roach-like Insect was an extremely cunning creature.

Before it unleashed the top-tier “Path of Stench,” it cleverly released the earlier prepared Space Dao Pattern and swiftly set up a Spatial Barrier.

Although this Spatial Barrier wasn’t particularly strong,

neither Virūḍhaka Buddha nor Sun Wu could have anticipated that the roach-like Insect’s purpose in deploying the [Spatial Barrier] was not to trap them but merely to delay their escape.

Its true trump card was the dreaded “Path of Stench” that would make countless immortals and gods pale at the mention.

Furthermore, with the sealing effect of this Spatial Barrier, the might of the “Path of Stench” within the localized area would be exponentially amplified.

Virūḍhaka Buddha rushed to the boundary wall of the Spatial Barrier, and before he had the chance to break through, his Yuanshen suddenly felt dizzy, and he fainted on the spot.

And the War Saint Sun Wu fared even worse!

After all, he had cultivated for a very short time, his experiences nowhere near as rich as Virūḍhaka Buddha’s, not recognizing that the roach-like Insect had unleashed the top-tier “Path of Stench.” Even before Virūḍhaka Buddha managed to flee, he was overcome by the stench.

“Ha ha, War Saint?

Buddha?

No matter how powerful you are, you must endure my Bug Emperor’s stink…” The roach-like Insect joyfully laughed upon witnessing this.
