Chapter 1283: Chapter 1382: The Red Glow Destroys the Buddha Chapter 1283: Chapter 1382: The Red Glow Destroys the Buddha After the strike, Burning Lamp Buddha was unharmed; his golden aura was thick, and Buddha Light shone everywhere.

“Amitabha,” chanted Burning Lamp Buddha, his expression as placid as an ancient well, while the flames in the three Ancient Lamps of Flame God behind him seemed to burn more fiercely.

“How potent the power of faith is, but this is only the first strike,” the Old Dried Corpse said. “You need to be careful, old monk. Make sure you don’t conk out after just three moves.”

Burning Lamp Buddha smiled faintly, “Please make your move.”

Boom!

A palm strike came roaring, thick with Demon Qi. The force of this palm was enough to make heaven and earth pale, causing any contemporary powerhouse to shudder.

If it had been before the Old Dried Corpse had restored his flesh, unleashing such a powerful palm would have been extremely difficult, but now that he had regained his flesh, although still some distance from his peak, he wasn’t far off.

Cangyunzi and Situ Yue’s eyelids twitched. If it were them, they probably couldn’t withstand such a terrifying palm from the Old Dried Corpse.

Still, Burning Lamp Buddha made no movement, the nine streams of Buddha Light behind him growing even denser, almost merging into one.

Moreover, the collective power of the monks from the Seven Seas Buddhist Sect surged once more, infusing into Burning Lamp Buddha.

In the next moment, Burning Lamp Buddha was completely engulfed by the palm, his Buddha Light nearly extinguished, as if he had perished under this blow.

“Buddha!” Cangyunzi looked worried, seemingly ready to step in and share the force of the palm for Burning Lamp Buddha.

Situ Yue squinted his eyes, slightly more composed than Cangyunzi, but still visibly concerned.

“I am unharmed,” declared Burning Lamp Buddha, his voice echoing with a surge of golden light and abundant Buddha energy permeating the Nine Heavens and the earth.

Burning Lamp Buddha appeared unscathed, his Buddha Light still intact.

At the same time, many monks far away in the Seven Seas simultaneously spit out blood, and several elderly, frail monks died on the spot.

Though Burning Lamp Buddha had blocked the Old Dried Corpse’s palm, it was effectively the numerous monks of the Seven Seas who had borne it for him.

Had it not been for the multitude of monks sharing its power, this strike would have heavily struck the Seven Seas Buddhist Sect.

Although unharmed, Burning Lamp Buddha’s face was filled with sorrow. He fully understood that the monks of the Seven Seas had taken the blow for him, not by his wish, but by their own volition.

Even Burning Lamp Buddha couldn’t stop this, unable to reject the power of faith, as he was a high monk of the Buddhist Sect, and the monks’ power of faith would directly enter his body.

“That’s two moves, old monk. You do have some skills,” said the Old Dried Corpse, his tone less disdainful and more admiring.

In the Old Dried Corpse’s view, there were very few in this era who could catch his eye, probably less than ten.

Yet this Burning Lamp Buddha had managed to impress the Old Dried Corpse by blocking his two strikes. Although there was an element of trickery, it was still his skill, which was indeed commendable.

“Sir, there’s one last chance for you to make a move; I hope you will abide by the agreement,” said Burning Lamp Buddha.

“Let’s see if you survive first,” the Old Dried Corpse said indifferently.

The next moment, a streak of red light whistled out of Fang Lin’s Nine Palace Bag, very inconspicuous, but extremely fast.

As soon as the red light appeared, Burning Lamp Buddha’s expression changed, feeling the tremendous pressure it brought.

Cangyunzi and Situ Yue’s expressions also changed dramatically as they immediately went to Burning Lamp Buddha’s side, hoping to join hands with him to block the incoming red glow.

“Step back,” Burning Lamp Buddha refused their help, taking the initiative to meet the red glow head-on.

Situ Yue and Cangyunzi had no choice but to obey, as Burning Lamp Buddha had insisted they not intervene.

The red glow approached, and behind Burning Lamp Buddha, nine Buddha Lights merged into one, forming a barrier in front of him.

Besides that, Burning Lamp Buddha didn’t do anything else and notably didn’t dodge.

Whoosh!

The sound of tearing wind rang out as the red glow struck the Buddha Light in front of Burning Lamp Buddha, turning the entire sky above into a mix of red and gold.

The two lights continuously clashed and intertwined, causing the onlookers from Qian Country below to turn their heads in awe, completely unsure of what was happening deep in the sky.

On the shores of Sinking Sword Lake in the Purple Mist Sect, an ugly old man gazed up at the heavens, his eyes filled with intense gravity. He was the strongest individual in Qian Country at the moment, nearly equal in strength to Cangyunzi and the others, which allowed him to glimpse the events transpiring in the depths of the heavens.

“What a terrifying collision!” the ugly old man muttered to himself.

With cultivation as profound as the ugly old man’s, even he was deeply shocked by the battle unfolding above, a confrontation that could be described as the peak, only witnessed when the strongest among them clashed with such imposing might.

In the next moment, the red light overpowered the gold, and all images of monks and Buddhas in the sky dispersed. Burning Lamp Buddha sighed just as the red glow overwhelmed him.

Situ Yue and Cangyunzi immediately stepped in, aiding Burning Lamp Buddha against the terrifying pressure of the red glow.

But even with the help of Cangyunzi and Situ Yue, Burning Lamp Buddha still suffered a severe blow, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes dimmer, and his already scarce vitality fading even thinner.

Cangyunzi and Situ Yue each let out a stifled grunt, their faces pale, with shock even more apparent in their eyes.

The three of them together had resisted the Old Dried Corpse’s strike, and yet they had ended up in such a dire state, indicating the immense power of the attack.

Situ Yue and Cangyunzi felt a chilling afterthought, realizing that if either of them had faced it alone, they likely would have been severely injured.

“Is that person really that powerful?” Cangyunzi and Situ Yue found it hard to believe, despite already knowing that the mysterious strongman was very powerful, they hadn’t expected him to be to this extent.

In Situ Yue’s mind, the strength of this mysterious figure now surpassed even the Three Emperors.

“Benefactor, your cultivation reaches the heavens, and your strength is profound and unfathomable; I am inferior,” said Burning Lamp Buddha, though he now appeared as frail as a candle in the wind.

“You did quite well to withstand my three moves, but looking at you now, I fear you won’t live much longer,” the Old Dried Corpse said indifferently.

Actually, the Old Dried Corpse was somewhat surprised himself–he hadn’t used much strength in his earlier attacks, but this last red glow was his true ability, of which he was very aware.

He had thought that this move, once carried out, would severely injure or even directly kill the old monk.

But it seemed, although the old monk was injured, he wasn’t as critically wounded as expected.

“Please honor your promise and allow the people of the three sects to leave,” Burning Lamp Buddha said.

“Those two who were just by your side came to your aid, how can I fulfill my promise now?” the Old Dried Corpse scoffed.
