I Am Really Not The Son of Providence-Chapter 424: Great Heavenly Dragon, World Noble Ksitigarbha!
The Middle Ground elites did not pay much attention to the array formation set up by the four Divine Firmament prodigies.
No matter how strong the array formation was, it was only formed by a group of Nascent Soul cultivators. Could it be stronger than the 10 great Heavenly Venerables?
The sixth-generation Saint from the Nine Sun Sacred Ground smiled and said, “Old Seven, have you been beaten silly? What nonsense are you talking about?”
The 10 great Heavenly Venerables were all the past Saints of Middle Ground’s sacred grounds. They were all peak talents.
Wouldn’t it be easy for them to crack the Divine Firmament Sky Lightning Array with the ten of them joining forces?
The Sixth Nine Sun Saint continued. “Old Seven, you have to be calm when you encounter something!
“Do you understand?
“How can this mere array formation suppress—
“Gosh, what the hell is this?”
The Sixth Nine Sun Saint had originally planned to teach his Junior Brother not to make a fuss, but when he saw the scene on the Void Platform in the sky, his mouth opened wide, and his jaw almost dropped!
...
On the Void Platform in the sky, pitch-black tribulation clouds covered the entire sky.
Streaks of dazzling tribulation lightning gathered together, releasing five-element divine light, appearing dazzling and resplendent.
Endless arcs of lightning interweaved together, constantly fusing together, creating arcane divine thunder.
The 10 Heavenly Venerables trembled in shock. They could feel just how terrifying the Great Five Elements Divine Lightning was. Perhaps not even a Heavenly Venerable would be able to resist it!
Boom!
The tribulation clouds rumbled as they erupted and poured down, and it shook space to the point of shattering.
The Mixed Divine Lightning transformed into a savage beast, roaring ferociously, its aura looking unstoppable!
The White Tiger Tribulation Lightning roared into the heavens, while the Vermillion Bird Tribulation Lightning lingered in the nine heavens. The Azure Dragon Divine Lightning pierced through the universe, while the Qilin Tribulation Lightning suppressed Middle Ground!
Terrifying tribulation lightning swept through the heavens and earth, instantly enveloping the 10 Heavenly Venerables. The lightning was as dazzling as fireworks.
“All of you, let’s join forces and set up an array formation!”
If they fought alone, they would definitely suffer greatly.
The 10 Heavenly Venerables instantly moved. Most of them took out their Sage artifacts, while the weaker ones held a supreme-grade Spirit artifact.
Numerous treasures floated above their heads, forming a dense curtain of light that enveloped everyone.
Boom!
Thunder rumbled as it resounded and echoed through the clouds!
The Void Platform was covered in endless lightning radiance as if the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning was destroying the world.
Beams of dazzling flames shot out.
Tribulation lightning crashed into the barrier of light in front of the 10 Heavenly Venerables, causing it to tremble as if it would shatter at any moment!
The Middle Ground geniuses were astounded.
The Divine Firmament Sky Lightning Array’s might was too terrifying. Even the 100 Heavenly Venerables were suppressed.
If they were in the center of the lightning tribulation, they would have long been defeated and severely injured.
Were the Divine Firmament true disciples this powerful?
Or were all the Eastern Wilderness geniuses this powerful?
The Middle Ground elites looked at this generation’s Eastern Wilderness prodigies with fear.
...
Everyone was paying attention to the Void Platform. Only Shen Tian turned to look at the Eastern Wilderness geniuses.
He looked at the Eastern Wilderness prodigies’ forehead with shining eyes.
He had struck it big this time!
This was not just a group of Senior Brothers and Sisters—this was destined to be a bountiful harvest!
Looking at the Eastern Wilderness paragons’ golden halos, Shen Tian felt like he was about to fly in joy!
He would be able to get anything he wants from now on with this bunch of Children of Providence!
At that moment, the Ninth Divine Firmament Saint walked over and patted Shen Tian on the shoulder. “Little Junior Brother!”
Shen Tian, “???”
What is going on?
Am I not wearing a mask? How did my identity get exposed so quickly? Could it be that even this mask can’t conceal my handsome appearance?
As if sensing Shen Tian’s astonishment, the Ninth Divine Firmament Saint said helplessly, “Are you curious how I recognized you?”
Shen Tian nodded dumbly. He really didn’t know.
Could it be that the Ninth Divine Firmament Saint was a wise man who had descended to the mortal world and could recognize him through the various clues left behind by himself?
The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint pondered for a moment before saying helplessly, “Because you are wearing the Saint’s attire!”
Shen Tian, “...”
The Senior Brother of the previous generation was indeed wise!
It seemed like he had to keep a low profile in the future.
Shen Tian blushed. “Senior Brother is indeed smart!”
The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint grinned. “Haha, everyone says so!
“But Junior Brother, I think your clothes look better than mine. Is Master biased and specially customized a new Saint uniform for you?
“You have to know that when I was the Divine Firmament Saint, I wore what was left of my Senior Brothers!”
The previous Divine Firmament Saints, “...”
Old Nine, could you not be so straightforward!?
Can you be any more shameless!?
Is he really going to let others know that his family is poor!?
However, it was true.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had nearly been crippled after the war 10,000 years ago, causing numerous heritages and resources to be lost.
Only after Zhang Longyuan succeeded the sacred leader position did he barely relieve the heavy burden of reviving the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
All these years, they had been living a very poor life!
None of the past Divine Firmament Saints were equipped with top-grade equipment. It could be said that they were very poor.
Otherwise, the first Saint, Yue Yunde, would not have taken the path of tomb raiding, robbing tombs on his own to get rich.
...
The Seventh Divine Firmament Saint went forward and pulled the Ninth Divine Firmament Saint away.
“Junior Brother, ignore this fool!
“Tell Senior Brother, has the sacred ground managed to escape poverty and become rich? Why have all of you become so fierce?”
The Seventh Divine Firmament Saint had panda-like eyes, and his face was filled with curiosity. It was mainly because he saw the Sage artifacts in Zhang Yunxi and the others’ hands, which made his heart itch.
What!? Since when could the sacred ground afford a sage-level artifact? Then wouldn’t we be able to find Master and obtain a few Sage artifacts too?
After suffering so much poverty, he could finally taste the sweetness of riches!
At that thought, the Seventh Divine Firmament Saint could not help but giggle as his body trembled.
Ssss!
When the Seventh Divine Firmament Saint laughed foolishly, it affected his injuries. It was so painful that he gnashed his teeth and took a few deep breaths.
The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint sniggered. “Seventh Brother, I told you not to push me away. Now you know what pain is, right!? Serves you right, hehehe!”
Ssss!
“Ouch, ouch, ouch!”
...
Shen Tian was dumbstruck as he looked at his two Senior Brothers.
Were these two clowns really the former Divine Firmament Saints?
No wonder the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had been unable to rise to prominence after so many years of development!
Master, I finally understand your pain.
Shen Tian wore a resigned expression as he produced two white jade bottles. “Senior Brother, let’s recuperate first! Junior Brother has some Nirvana Holy Liquid here that can help Senior Brother recover.”
No matter what, he was still his Senior Brother. Furthermore, he was a person with a golden providence halo.
Shen Tian thought he should express his gratitude!
Yes, he was just showing concern for his Senior Brother. He was not planning on fleecing him!
“Junior Brother is so considerate. I’ll be fine after resting for a few days. There’s no need for Nirvana—”
What? ‘Nirvana Holy Liquid!?
The Ninth and Seventh Divine Firmament Saints stared wide-eyed at the white jade bottles in Shen Tian’s hand.
How could they not know what the Nirvana Holy Liquid was?
That was a sacred healing elixir!
A treasure that even a Sage would be tempted to steal was taken out of their Junior Brother’s pocket just like that?
However, that was to be expected. The sacred ground was so rich now that it could even give out Sage artifacts, let alone the Nirvana Holy Liquid.
The two Saints received the white jade bottle with both hands while verbally declining with politeness. “Little Junior Brother, how can we accept this?”
Gulp, gulp!
Before Shen Tian could reply, these two Saints were already gulping down the holy liquid.
Yes, although they said no verbally, their bodies were very honest!
Their bodies emitted divine light as all their injuries were healed.
“Burp, sour, sweet, and delicious! As expected of the Nirvana Holy Liquid!”
The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint smacked his lips in satisfaction!
On the side, the paragons of the other sacred grounds were all stunned. They looked at Shen Tian and then at their Junior Brothers and couldn’t help but feel resentful.
Why was it that the other Saints’ Junior Brother was so generous!
Yet, their own Junior Brothers had never done the same for them!?
Damn!
Why was the difference between people so huge!
However, their faces were soon filled with excitement. This was because Shen Tian also handed over a bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid to them. “Senior Brothers were injured because of us. I feel bad. Please accept it as a token of my appreciation.”
The other Saints also had good providence and would become part of his fleecing plan.
Shen Tian wouldn’t favor one over the other. After all, Buddha had once said, “Everyone is equal!”
...
The Eastern Wilderness paragons could not help but sigh. “The Divine Firmament Saint is so generous. We are ashamed!”
They originally wanted to welcome Shen Tian and the others, but they didn’t expect to receive Shen Tian’s gift instead.
The Eastern Wilderness geniuses all felt embarrassed, but they still accepted it. After all, no one could refuse a divine healing elixir like the Nirvana Holy Liquid!
The Eastern Wilderness geniuses consumed the Nirvana Holy Liquid one after another, and all their injuries were instantly healed.
The Middle Ground geniuses were astounded.
Sss! Does this boy have a mine in his house? The Nirvana Holy Liquid was delivered by piles, and each of them was given a bottle?
This was especially so for the Seventh Nine Sun Saint, who felt even more upset.
They had just been beaten up and were already unhappy.
Fortunately, the Eastern Wilderness geniuses had also been in a miserable state, so they felt some comfort.
But now that the Eastern Wilderness geniuses had recovered, they were still in immense pain.
The disparity in his heart instantly reached its peak!
Without the Nirvana Holy Liquid, he could only eat lemons!
How pitiful!
...
Finally, the situation on the Void Platform changed.
The 10 Heavenly Venerables used the power of their Sage artifacts to forcefully block the Divine Firmament Sky Lightning Array.
However, the 10 Heavenly Venerables discovered that the speed at which they expended their energy was much faster than the four Divine Firmament prodigies. If they were to continue like this, they would not be able to withstand it and would soon be defeated.
A Heavenly Venerable Saint shouted, “Fellow Daoists, we only need to defeat one person to break the array formation.”
The Divine Firmament Sky Lightning Array’s core were the four Divine Firmament prodigies. As long as one of them made a mistake, the array formation could be broken.
The other Heavenly Venerables nodded. They had also discovered this problem.
Someone immediately said, “Everyone split up and attack!”
They had to take extreme measures. If this dragged on, they would lose face if they lost to the four Divine Firmament prodigies!
After all, they had outnumbered them.
The 10 Heavenly Venerables split into four groups and rushed toward the four of them.
Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang were the focus of attention. A total of six Heavenly Venerables surrounded them.
After all, the strength they had displayed could not be underestimated.
The remaining four people attacked Zhang Yunting and Zhao Hao, respectively. They believed that these two people were the weakest and easiest to defeat!
But was it really as they thought?
Upon seeing the two Heavenly Venerables, Zhao Hao shouted, “Good timing!”
Chi!
The Nan Ming Li Fire in Zhao Hao’s body exploded and gathered on his body, turning into raging flames.
A scarlet glow flashed in his hand as the gigantic Red-Black Cloud Staff appeared in his hand, causing the Nan Ming Li Fire’s aura to become even more powerful!
Zhao Hao held the Red-Black Cloud Staff with both hands, and the Nan Ming Li Fire on his body flowed into the staff.
The aura of the Red-Black Cloud Staff became increasingly terrifying and dazzling!
“Raging Flames of the Red-Black Cloud Staff!” Zhao Hao roared as he lifted the gigantic Red-Black Cloud Staff and smashed it down!
An enormous crimson red glow shot out horizontally with a terrifying imposing aura that seemed as if it was crushing an irresistible force!
In that instant, it seemed as if the void had shattered, and the heaven and earth were collapsing. Massive spatial cracks tore open, displaying its exceptional power!
The two Heavenly Venerables were shocked. They could actually feel the threat of death and immediately summoned their Sage artifacts to defend themselves!
Dazzling divine light exploded forth, causing heaven and earth to dim in comparison.
The two Heavenly Venerables coughed up large mouthfuls of blood as their figures shot backward, smashing heavily into the edge of the platform.
“How is that possible?”
The two Heavenly Venerables were incomparably shocked. They hadn’t expected a Late-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator to be able to unleash such a terrifying attack, directly injuring them.
Although there was the augmentation of the array formation, Zhao Hao’s strength was also an undeniable factor that allowed him to injure them.
The main reason was that Zhao Hao had consumed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, causing his constitution to undergo a metamorphosis.
A Late-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator who had undergone the Golden Core 10th Refinement Stage was no weaker than the previous Qi Shaoxuan!
It could be said that the current Zhao Hao also possessed the talent of a Thearch!
As such, an Early-Stage Heavenly Venerable might not be a match for Zhao Hao.
The Middle Ground prodigies shuddered violently, their eyes filled with disbelief!
In shock, the Sixth Nine Sun Saint said, “How did the fifth-generation Senior Brother lose to a Nascent Soul junior?”
“Impossible, impossible, impossible!”
The Sixth Nine Sun Saint didn’t believe that one of these two Heavenly Venerables was their sacred ground’s Saint.
No one could believe that the two of them were defeated by a Nascent Soul cultivator.
The Eastern Wilderness prodigies were incredibly excited!
This was especially true for the current generation of Saints and elite disciples. They were simply honored.
They never expected that not only did they have the Divine Firmament Saint, but they also had the protection of the four Divine Firmament prodigies. This was simply too blissful!
With such thick thighs, they wouldn’t be afraid of being bullied even if they went to Middle Ground!
...
Upon seeing the intense battle, Bodhisattva Kuduo took a step forward. “This battle has made my blood boil! I wonder if anyone is willing to spar with me!”
Yes, Kuduo was a battle maniac just like Fang Chang!
However, the Sonic Thunder’s Buddhist Lord had always made him read and copy Buddhist scriptures. There was no chance for him to find someone to spar with.
Now that he had finally arrived in Middle Ground, he was no longer under the control of Sonic Thunder’s Buddhist Lord.
Kuduo felt as if he was in seventh heaven.
Kuduo rushed onto the arena and looked at the Middle Ground prodigies. He smiled and said, “Amitabha. This poor monk’s name is Kuduo. May I know which fellow Daoist is willing to spar with me?”
Kuduo’s entire body was emitting a resplendent Buddhist light that was extremely bright. It enveloped him completely, making him look like a peerless Buddha.
Strange phenomena appeared behind him, blotting out the sky and covering the sun. Golden Buddhic light shone brightly in the sky.
Under the illumination of the Buddhist light, one could vaguely see 800 Arhats and the mighty heavenly dragons suppressing the void.
The Middle Ground paragons revealed a fearful expression. They hadn’t expected that there were so many peerless experts from Eastern Wilderness in this generation.
The four Divine Firmament prodigies had overpowered them with their Nascent Soul cultivation. Even the combined forces of 10 Heavenly Venerables were suppressed.
Now that this Buddhist disciple came out to challenge them, they had no choice but to take him seriously.
Just by looking at the strange phenomena behind Kuduo, one would feel that he was also very strong.
This person was probably an accomplished monk from the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground!
If they were to lower their guard like before, they would likely suffer a miserable defeat.
The Middle Ground geniuses wore a stern expression and did not agree immediately.
After all, they had already learned a lesson from the previous match. Kuduo’s strength was not inferior to Fang Chang and the others. If they were to send up a Nascent Soul cultivator up against him, it would be equivalent to just sending vegetables to be chopped.
Furthermore, Fang Chang was only a core disciple, while Kuduo was the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground’s Bodhisattva. Shouldn’t he be stronger?
After careful consideration, the Fifth Nine Yin Saint slowly walked out. His cultivation had reached the Early-Stage Soul Formation, and he could be considered a powerhouse amongst the many Saints.
However, when he faced Bodhisattva Kuduo, his face was filled with caution and even fear!
He had to strike first!
He thus seized the initiative, attacking Kuduo first.
However, Kudo was dumbfounded. His mouth twitched crazily.
Stop messing around!
Isn’t this obvious bullying!?
This poor monk is only at Mid-Stage Nascent Soul. Is there a need to send an Early-Stage Heavenly Venerable to fight against me?
Is it necessary? Is it really necessary?
This poor monk only wanted to spar because he was envious, not because he wanted to be beaten!
...
The Fifth Nine Yin Saint didn’t know what Bodhisattva Kuduo was thinking. He immediately released a powerful aura to attack.
The Qi of extreme Yin surged within his body, and rays of light shot out in all directions before transforming into two enormous black pythons that coiled around Bodhisattva Kuduo.
The black pythons opened their mouths wide like a hot knife cutting through butter, emitting a profound Yin aura as if they wanted to freeze one’s bloodline.
Evidently, this fellow did not hold back at all and treated Bodhisattva Kuduo as a formidable enemy.
Kuduo had a bitter expression on his face. He could not retreat and could only brace himself to go forward.
Fortunately, Kuduo quickly entered his fighting state, and the boundless Buddhist light within his body erupted.
After all, according to what his Master had said, Buddhism should not lose!
“Insignificant skill, you actually dare to show off your skills before an expert!”
The Buddhist light behind Kuduo’s back became more and more resplendent, condensing into a great heavenly dragon that stretched across the void, looking holy and imposing!
At that moment, he was using his Mighty Dragon Demon Subjugation.
Kuduo made a hand seal and said solemnly, “Great Heavenly Dragon, World Noble Ksitigarbha, Wisdom of all Buddhas, Wisdom of Mahānata!”
Boom!
In an instant, the resplendent Buddhist light converged into a dazzling golden dragon that tore at the black python.
The dragon’s roar pierced straight into the nine heavens!
The mighty sky dragon and the black python were locked in combat. Endless divine light shot out, causing the Void Platform to tremble.
Endless Buddhist light and great Yin energy interweaved and curled about, making the sky split into two colors.
After all, he was the Sonic Thunder Bodhisattva and could restrain the Qi of extreme Yin to some extent.
The might of the dragon was currently evenly matched with the great Yin black python.
The Middle Ground paragons were somewhat astonished. “This Bodhisattva is indeed extraordinary, and his Dharma is so profound!”
“As expected of an accomplished monk. Luckily, we didn’t go up just now!”
However, they soon discovered that something was amiss.
Even though the dragon looked ferocious, it clearly lacked strength.
In the next moment, the dignified heavenly dragon was actually torn apart by the great Yin black python, causing its body to be covered in injuries.
Kuduo’s face changed as he hurriedly boosted his Buddhist powers, wanting to hold on.
However, given his Nascent Soul cultivation, how could he contend with a Heavenly Venerable?
Soon, the dragon was completely torn apart as the black python continued charging toward Kuduo.
“Arh!
“No!
“Brother, be gentle, don’t hit my face!”
Miserable screams sounded from the Void Platform, making one’s scalp go numb!
...
Bam!
Bam, bam, bam!
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!
A moment later, Kuduo fell from the Void Platform.
The zen robe on his body was in tatters, and his face was bruised and swollen. He looked miserable!
Kuduo covered his swollen face with his hands. His eyes were red, and it was obvious that he felt wronged!
Boohoo, why was that Fang Chang guy able to beat them!?
Why can’t I beat them!?
The two of us had fought in the past, and our strength was clearly similar!
