I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense - Chapter 246

Chapter 247 If I Were a Demon, There Would Be No Buha in the World

Translator: 549690339
Outside the Thousand Buha Temple, the scene hanging in the void suddenly exploded, the thick chaos dissipating, two rays of golden light shooting straight into the sky, the supreme glow from Monk Liaowang’s eyes.

A towering Buha materialized, bearing the likeness of Liaowang himself, not his Primordial Spirit, but a phantom formed from his own Buha-nature.

Liaowang had not displayed his cultivation level, but everyone present felt a constriction in their chest as if something was being suppressed.

“How is this possible?”

Song Zhong’s complexion drastically changed, the Illusionary Realm had been broken.

He had not yet realized that Liaowang had already passed this challenge when the other had already shattered the Illusionary Realm. What kind of talent was this?

The other cultivators began to retreat in confusion, not understanding how the monk had suddenly broken through the barrier. Moreover, it seemed as if his strength had been greatly elevated.

“Demon Monk, what trickery have you employed? You clearly cannot distinguish between reality and illusion, how could you possibly break through this world within a mirror!”

Monk Ling Jue felt an immense humiliation, a jealousy that nearly drove him mad.

This prodigy of the Buddhist Sect had been targeted by the righteous people of the world. Wouldn’t it be better to just obediently await death? Why could he always burst forth with power and turn danger into safety?

“Life is but a dream, a bubble, a shadow, likewise a dewdrop and a flash of lightning. Benefactor, how can you be certain that the sky we are under is not an illusion?”

Slowly, Liaowang opened his mouth to speak, the supreme light in his eyes clear yet restrained. The Buha in the void disappeared.

“Utter nonsense, Liaowang, you have colluded with the Demon Sect’s Demonic Woman, it is an established fact. Today, no matter how you argue, you must submit to punishment!”

Monk Ling Jue roared, his face hideous with anger.

“Amitabha, this monk Liaowang hereby thanks all the great masters.”

Disregarding Ling Jue’s impotent fury, Liaowang turned and bowed in the direction of the Thousand Buha Kingdom, knowing that the true Buha of the Western Desert was aiding him. Although his transformation was not complete, he had begun to grasp the Buddhist Law, which was a significant causality.

However, the monks of the Thousand Buha Temple in the Western Desert didn’t understand this. When Monk Yuanjue saw Liaowang thanking them, he felt a profound insult.

“Demon Monk, your arrogance is excessive. Do you really think you can leave the Western Desert alive?”

Monk Yuanjue roared, his Zen Staff touching the void as streams of golden light fell, forming a massive Golden Bell Shield to trap Liaowang firmly within.

Being of the Tribulation Crossing cultivation stage, he was confident in handling a junior with ease.

“Amitabha, Abbot, you are indulging in delusion.”

Liaowang’s expression remained calm and undisturbed, taking a step out, he directly passed through the Golden Bell Shield without any obstruction.

Some of the Buddhist monks’ jaws dropped in shock. This was a Golden Bell Shield cast by a Tribulation Crossing stage monk. How could a mere Divinity Transformation stage junior dispel it?

“You… How is this possible? You are but at the Divinity Transformation stage. How can you withstand this old monk’s Golden Bell Shield?”

Monk Yuanjue’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

Song Zhong and the others narrowed their eyes slightly as well, sensing that the monk before them had become somehow different. Although his cultivation level was still at the Divinity Transformation stage, an aura of strangeness enveloped him. Though he had made some breakthroughs, the distance to the Tribulation Crossing stage was still significant.

“Master Abbot, you are using Buddhist Law. How can Buddhist Law trap a true Buha?”

Liaowang said with a slight smile.

“You’ve gone mad, completely mad. You dare to compare yourself to a true Buha, a mere Divinity Transformation stage cultivator daring to hold himself as a Buha. Liaowang, you’ve thoroughly fallen into demonhood. You have lost even the basic reverence towards the Buddhist Law!”

Monk Yuanjue shrieked, his Zen Staff’s golden light surging, the might of the Tribulation Crossing stage apparent as another immense Golden Bell Shield thundered down to encase Monk Liaowang within.

Liaowang remained composed, reaching out to grab the somewhat dazed Su Mei’er by his side.

“Benefactor, let us depart.”

“Monk, you’ve finally come to your senses!”

Su Mei’er’s eyes were a bit red as she threw herself into Liaowang’s arms, no longer hiding what was in her heart.

The experiences within the Illusionary Realm were freshly imprinted in her memory, as vivid as if she had lived two lifetimes. She no longer wanted to suppress her feelings.

Liaowang patted her back with a chuckle, indicating that it was safe now, and there would be no more problems.

“Demons, the demon monk has gone mad, you all saw it, didn’t you? He’s actually holding a Demonic Woman from the Demon Sect in his arms. Esteemed seniors, please hurry and kill him!”

Monk Ling Jue was nearly driven mad with jealousy. Why wouldn’t Liaowang die? If Liaowang were dead, that enticing woman would be lying in his arms!

“Amitabha, if this young monk has fallen into evil, then there are no true Buhas left in this world.”

Liaowang smiled faintly, picked up Su Mei’er, and walked through the Golden Bell Shield as if entering an uninhabited territory.

Monk Yuanjue’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. The impenetrable Golden Bell Shield seemed to have no effect at all, which certainly wasn’t due to a difference in cultivation level, but rather, as if the other party had entered a state that resonated with Buddhist Law.

“Monk, you really have changed.”

Su Mei’er watched the man holding her infatuatedly, her heart full of happiness. At this moment, even if she were to be annihilated by the multitude of cultivators, she would have no complaints.

“Kill him for me!”

“Since ancient times, good and evil have not coexisted. This demon monk shows no repentance, and he actually protects a Demonic Woman from the Demon Sect openly; he must be executed by everyone!”

“Indeed, we must kill him!”

The cultivators of the righteous path were startled, but they were not afraid of Liaowang. After all, not only were they numerous and powerful, but they also had the backing of old seniors, among whom were cultivators of the Mahayana Realm from the Cangtian Sect.

“This monk is not himself. We should first set up a Formation and trap him to death!”

“Cultivators of the Cangtian Sect, heed my command, take out the Demon Sealing Stones and construct the Myriad Demon Sealing Great Array!”

Song Zhong let out a long howl to the sky, his figure shimmering into the void, his hands continuously forming Seal Spells. The formation patterns of the Array, extending thousands of miles, glittered with a rosy light, trapping the entire Thousand Buha Temple within.

“Take out the Demon Sealing Stones, demon monk, no matter what sorcery you use, you have but one fate before this ancient Slaughter Formation, death!”

“Consorting with a Demonic Woman, today is the day you die!”

Song Zhong laughed heartily, his spirit sinking into the Space Ring, preparing to take out the Demon Sealing Stone.

Outlining the formation pattern is the first step, securing the Formation with the Demon Sealing Stone is the second. Only then can the Formation truly take shape, its power infinite.

He had complete confidence in the ancient Slaughter Formation, for even if he were inside the Formation, it would mean only death for him.

However, as his spirit delved into the Space Ring, he was stunned. The Space Ring was completely empty, not even a hair inside.

Song Zhong’s mind went blank.

Maybe he had checked the wrong ring; it might not be the one on his right hand, it could be on his left hand.

Yes, it must be so.

But when he turned his gaze to his left hand, he realized there was no ring on it. In fact, he had only one Space Ring for this journey.

Cold sweat broke out instantly.

What was going on? Where were the items inside the ring? Had they been spirited away?

At the same time, he heard the pig-like screams of agony from his disciples below.

“shit, who messed with my Space Ring!”

“Forty years of savings, my entire fortune taken by a thief, damn it, I swear by Fei Shang, you and I are irreconcilable!”
