2269: Take Them All Down! (Four More Updates) 2269: Take Them All Down! (Four More Updates) The Abbot once again entrusted Ye Chen with the task before allowing him to enter inside.
Ye Chen entered the Buddha Cave alone and had not taken many steps before he discovered various Buddha statues.
The deeper he went, the stronger the essence of Buddhism became.
Moreover, the relics of the three Golden Buddhas within his body flickered with dazzling light as if they were about to burst forth immediately!
Soon, Ye Chen’s steps halted because he had already seen the displayed sariras.
The foremost sariras represented the weakest level of cultivation of the monks initially.
Jie Kong’s master, the previous Abbot, was at the farthest inside the Buddha Cave.
Ye Chen had just taken two more steps forward when he noticed something odd about the sariras.
These sariras, one by one, flew towards the Void, enveloping his body with Buddha Light.
Above the sariras, shadowy figures of monks appeared.
These shadowy figures glared furiously at Ye Chen, extending their palms as continuous Buddha Light fell.
Ye Chen frowned, perceiving that the sariras seemed to want to suppress him!
His body already harbored a Demon Body, filled with Demon Nature.
The Buddha shadowy figures deemed Ye Chen an Evil Demon, thus attempting to suppress him!
The crucial thing was, the Abbot had not mentioned any of this!
The corner of Ye Chen’s mouth revealed a bitter smile, knowing for sure he had been tricked by the Abbot.
The aura emitted by the Rotten Beast Sword had contained demonic qi, and the Abbot had seen it but never warned him.
He intended for Ye Chen to enter the Buddha Cave to face difficulties and retreat, by which time the sariras of Master Jie Kong would naturally be unobtainable.
Feeling cheated by the Abbot, Ye Chen was uneasy inside, yet he wanted to see how far he could go.
Although the Buddha’s strength during their lifetimes was not weak, now they were merely shadowy figures.
Ye Chen felt no fear when the Buddha tried to suppress him with force.
His demonic qi erupted fully, advancing instead of retreating!
What is a demon, and what is a Buddha!
Ye Chen had his own definition in his heart—whether Buddha or demon, it truly depended on one’s own true nature.
At the moment when the demonic qi surged, the Buddha shadowy figures kept casting down Buddha Light.
As the two contacted each other, the Buddha Light sought to suppress the demonic qi, yet the demonic qi on Ye Chen’s body showed no fear.
As they clashed, one must be injured!
The Buddha Energy descended upon Ye Chen’s body but was soon corroded by the demonic qi.
Eventually, the demonic qi became denser, whereas the Buddha Light grew weaker.
The outcome was very clear, and there was no need for Ye Chen to waste more time, so he strode past.
If he wanted to destroy these sariras, it would be easy, yet then the Abbot might fight him desperately.
Ye Chen continued to move forward, encountering some sariras midway that also sought to suppress him.
Unfortunately, all attempts failed. Ye Chen did not feel complacent but became even more cautious.
The deeper he went, the denser the Buddha Light he could feel.
He had a feeling as if he was already in the sea of Buddha Light.
Ye Chen felt that if he were to stay in the Buddha Cave all the time, he might one day convert to Buddhism.
This feeling was unclear and indescribable, yet it genuinely existed.
If he continued to delve deeper, Ye Chen might indeed be suppressed by the Buddha shadowy figures.
Of course, he was not afraid and continued to advance, reaching a secret chamber where he found more sariras.
Unexceptionally, these sariras transformed into Buddha shadowy figures, something Ye Chen had already become accustomed to along the way.
The Buddha shadowy figures did not attack immediately but instead spoke, looking at Ye Chen, “Evil Demon, convert to our Buddha, and your life may be spared.”
Ye Chen looked on in surprise, noting that these Buddha shadowy figures still possessed a certain degree of consciousness.
“What is a Buddha, and what is a demon!”
Ye Chen boldly questioned, his eyes fixated on the Buddha shadowy figures.
“Buddha’s heart embraces all beings, yet demons slaughter them!”
One of the Buddhas spoke directly!
“If Buddha slaughters life-forms and demons protect mortals, who is the Buddha and who is the demon?”
“Buddha does not slaughter life-forms!”
Ye Chen, hearing the Buddha’s voice, let a scornful smile spread across his lips.
“Foolish, utterly foolish. Do you presume to know what he thinks in his heart?”
