Protect Our Patriarch-Chapter 791 Book 6: 64: Great Nirvana Temple! The Buddha has descended

……

"It's over~~ Everything is over!!"

Upon realizing that Lan Wanghai was outside, Prince Wenyu's face turned deathly pale in an instant. He seemed to have suffered a huge blow, trembling all over, barely managing to stand by holding onto the table beside him.

The Fragrant Yao Consort in the adjacent room, though not as visibly shaken, also had her face darken instantly, a shadow clouding her eyes.

It was obvious she had fallen into a trap.

As the "favored consort" of the Holy Emperor, being caught meeting Prince Wenyu in secret was more than just a matter of reputation.

No matter what, she could not be caught red-handed!

It wasn't too late yet. As long as she could escape quietly, there would still be a chance to refute everything!

The Fragrant Yao Consort's eyes sharpened, her slender, fair fingers swept through the void, and immediately, layers of illusions rippled out behind her.

The exotic dancers around had already been thrown into panic by the sudden turn of events, too flustered to notice her sudden disappearance.

This was an extremely profound space technique known as [Instant Sumeru].

Once activated, the user's figure would slip into a Sumeru space like a spatial bubble, overlapping yet misaligned with the real space, allowing them to escape thousands of miles away in a breath, an extraordinary space technique.

The most remarkable aspect was the subtlety of the spatial fluctuations it caused, making it extremely difficult for ordinary people to detect. Unless one's strength could completely overpower the Fragrant Yao Consort, they wouldn't notice her even if she passed right in front of them, truly a ghostly and unpredictable technique.

As a powerful True Immortal Realm expert at her peak, the Fragrant Yao Consort's strength was renowned throughout the Tianrui Holy Dynasty, far beyond that of an ordinary early-stage True Immortal. Unless a Holy Sovereign intervened personally, no one dared claim they could completely overpower her.

Thus, although she was heavy-hearted, she remained unflustered.

However, just as the Fragrant Yao Consort escaped from Cuiwei Residence, thinking she was free of worries, the Sumeru space enveloping her suddenly froze without warning.

She felt like a nimble fish caught in a quagmire, every movement becoming sluggish and laborious, as if the entire space was resisting her.

Not good!

A bad premonition struck the Fragrant Yao Consort's heart. Who was it?! Who was ambushing her in the dark?!

Before she could react.

"Boom!"

A sound like a morning bell and evening drum exploded in her ears, shaking her internal organs and leaving her mind blank.

Simultaneously, the surrounding Sumeru space shattered in the tremor.

The Fragrant Yao Consort fell out of the Sumeru space, her eyes dazed, exposed in front of countless Imperial Guards of the Holy Emperor. Under the energy shock, her disguise had long lost its effect, revealing her true appearance.

For a moment, not only was the Fragrant Yao Consort stunned, but even the expressions of the Imperial Guards were bewildered, none of them reacting.

In the distant elegant residence, Yunpeng Holy Sovereign withdrew his hand, quickly retracting the aura he had just unleashed, a smug smile on his face: "Hehe~ Trying to pull a fast one and escape in front of me? Too naive~"

"Master, you're so mighty and domineering." Wang Baoguang immediately gave him a thumbs up, seizing the opportunity to flatter him, his face full of admiration, "Your move was amazing~ My admiration for you is as vast as the Endless Sea, with waves rolling endlessly, the sky and water churning… If you hadn't missed the opportunity in your youth, you'd definitely be a generation's Dao Master…"

Amidst the endless flattery from his disciple, Yunpeng Holy Sovereign felt elated, giving Baoguang a sidelong glance: "What are you spouting the truth for? We need to keep a low profile, low profile."

This precious disciple was indeed a good find.

Not only was his bloodline aptitude extraordinary, but he was also particularly honest and loved to speak the truth.

Unknowingly, the balance of inheritance in Yunpeng Holy Sovereign's heart tilted a few inches towards Baoguang.

While the master and disciple were enjoying themselves.

In the sky, the commander of the Imperial Guards, Lan Wanghai, also reacted, his eyes sharp as he shouted: "Fragrant Yao Consort, you really were meeting Prince Wenyu in secret!! Surrender quickly and come with me to confess to His Majesty!"

Before he finished speaking, he shook his hands, and a silver-blue immortal spear, engraved with dragon patterns and exuding immense power, was thrust out.

A massive ice dragon Dharma Aspect appeared behind him, the immense power of his bloodline pouring into the spear.

Where the spear tip pointed, the space shattered inch by inch.

The biting cold spread overwhelmingly, covering the Cuiwei Residence below, the surrounding bamboo forest, and even the entire floating island where the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was located in a layer of frost in an instant. Even the clouds floating around the floating island thinned, starting to drizzle hail.

Under the overwhelming cold, even space seemed to freeze.

The power of one spear, terrifying to the extreme!

Lan Wanghai's rise to the position of commander of the Imperial Guards was not only due to his unwavering loyalty but also his undeniable strength. His cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the True Immortal Realm, and his mastery of the Ice Dragon Spear was unparalleled. Now, in his prime, his bloodline power was at its peak, not falling behind even when facing those late-stage True Immortal experts who were already old and frail.

His strength ranked at least in the top fifteen in the entire Tianrui Holy Dynasty.

The biting cold cut across her cheeks like a blade, and the Fragrant Yao Consort instantly regained her clarity, a cold smile appearing on her lips: "You think you can stop me?"

She extended a hand, forming a lotus seal in front of her.

A layer of hazy golden Buddhist light blossomed from her core.

Under the powerful Buddhist light, the overwhelming cold seemed to meet its nemesis, melting away in an instant, even unsealing the nearby Cuiwei Residence, which was then bathed in a layer of golden light, inexplicably adding a touch of sacredness.

At the same time.

With a "buzz," a lotus-shaped artifact spun out, meeting the thrusting spear tip.

This was the Fragrant Yao Consort's relied-upon Buddhist artifact, the [Mystic Lotus Wheel].

It resembled a golden lotus, with eighteen lotus leaves, each depicting a different beauty, whether dignified, holy, charming, or alluring… As the Fragrant Yao Consort drove it with Buddhist power, their figures transformed into graceful phantoms, stepping into the air towards Lan Wanghai.

Rich Buddhist light emanated from their bodies, the vast energy fluctuations spreading with the Buddhist light like a storm. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Amidst the vibrating Buddhist light, chants of sutras echoed in the heavens and earth, as if countless people were chanting Buddhist scriptures, carrying a powerful force that disturbed the mind.

Lan Wanghai felt something in his mind "boom" and explode, his body stiffening, almost unable to move, even his consciousness becoming somewhat blurred.

"Master, what's the origin of that Buddhist artifact the Fragrant Yao Consort is using?" Wang Baoguang, watching from afar, clicked his tongue in wonder, "It looks interesting, each lotus leaf can transform into different beauties. But the imagination is a bit lacking, and the aesthetics aren't enough. I have a friend who wants to ask, why not make 'gentleman outfits,' 'doctor outfits,' 'stocking outfits'?"

Growing up in the "modernized" environment of the Wang's Clan, Wang Baoguang's aesthetics were quite different from the style of the Western Ruoshin Continent.

"Baoguang, that artifact is no simple thing." Yunpeng Holy Sovereign's face also showed a hint of seriousness, "I'm afraid this Fragrant Yao Consort has an extraordinary background, not just an ordinary [Female Arhat]."

Hearing him mention this, Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but listen intently.

He had heard of the Western Ruoshin Continent, but only knew some rough concepts, such as the various Western sects and their fierce struggles compared to the Dongxia Divine Continent.

In the Western Buddhist Kingdom, the True Immortal Realm was called the [Arhat Realm], and the corresponding experts were naturally called [Arhats], while the Da Luo Realm was called the [Bodhi Realm], and the corresponding experts were called [Bodhisattvas].

Thus, according to the Western Ruoshin Continent's realm classification, this Fragrant Yao Consort was a Female Arhat, her strength equivalent to the True Immortal Realm of the Dongxia Divine Continent.

"Such artifacts are called evil Buddhist artifacts among the many Western sects, referred to as the ultimate bliss of conversion, but in reality, they're no different from the soul-capturing and refining evil arts abhorred by everyone in the Dongxia Divine Continent." Yunpeng Holy Sovereign explained solemnly, "The eighteen female protectors in that wheel can suppress a mid-stage True Immortal, indicating they were likely refined from the souls of True Immortals."

"Eighteen True Immortal-level souls?" Wang Baoguang was so shocked his heart trembled, "That's too fierce."

The entire Shenwu World's True Immortal experts combined didn't even number eighteen~

"The most terrifying part is, these souls must be converted willingly during their 'prime youth' when their true spirits are strong, to refine such a high-level wheel. Those old and faded female True Immortals or Female Arhats, their souls would naturally have weakened, and their appearances wouldn't retain the charm of their youth, not even worth considering." Yunpeng Holy Sovereign's eyes showed a hint of pity, "Truly pitiful, sad, and lamentable."

Even Wang Shouzhe was left speechless. To refine artifacts with such disregard for humanity, if Baosheng were here, he'd probably be furious and issue a bounty on them.

"Though the methods are cruel, once refined, such artifacts aren't ordinary." Yunpeng Holy Sovereign continued to explain, "The evil Buddhist artifact of the Fragrant Yao Consort has power almost equivalent to a sacred artifact, easily worth ten to twenty Chaos Spirit Stones. Such a level of evil Buddhist artifact isn't something a Female Arhat could refine alone; this Fragrant Yao Consort likely has an extraordinary background, not just a fallen princess from some mundane Buddhist kingdom."

It was known that the Fragrant Yao Consort's public identity was that of a princess from a Buddhist kingdom in the Western Ruoshin Continent. It was said she grew up in the mundane world, having suffered hardships due to being overlooked in her youth. Later, when the Buddhist kingdom needed to form an alliance with the Tianrui Holy Dynasty, the king, unwilling to part with the princess he raised, brought her back from the mundane world and sent her to the Tianrui Holy Dynasty for marriage.

All along, no one had ever doubted the Fragrant Yao Consort's identity and background.

But her current display of strength made her seemingly impeccable background appear unreliable.

As they were discussing.

Lan Wanghai, after a brief moment of distraction, slowly regained his composure.

He was a mid-stage True Immortal expert, the strongest of the contemporary Tianrui Lan Clan, with willpower and spiritual strength far beyond ordinary True Immortals, naturally having strong resistance to Buddhist power with inherent mental attacks.

Forcibly shutting off his hearing and stabilizing his soul, he pushed his profound energy to the extreme, until his meridians were swollen and spasming, before finally stopping. The intense pain cleared his previously muddled mind completely.

"I underestimated you." Lan Wanghai's face darkened as he stared at the Fragrant Yao Consort.

Almost falling for her trick at the first encounter, he had never lost face like this since becoming the commander of the Imperial Guards. This debt had to be settled!

With a thought, a crystal-clear, seemingly ice-sculpted Immortal Scripture floated out from his sea of consciousness, exuding waves of dragon might.

In the next moment.

The pages of the Immortal Scripture turned, and the immense power of the laws surged out, the Dharma Aspect behind him turning from illusion to reality, transforming into a massive ice dragon that surged into his body.

Lan Wanghai's face turned pale, but his aura soared, shaking his Ice Dragon Spear, a spear light several times more domineering than before spun out.

The space before him was pierced through.

The domineering spear light pierced through the void, heading towards the Mystic Lotus Wheel with unstoppable force.

The terrifying aura swept out, dispersing the intense Buddhist light that enveloped him, even the eighteen graceful phantoms formed by the Mystic Lotus Wheel were repelled, their bodies constructed of Buddhist power slightly unstable.

Seizing this opportunity, Lan Wanghai's figure flickered, instantly escaping the Buddhist light domain constructed by the Mystic Lotus Wheel.

Seeing Lan Wanghai break free from the Mystic Lotus Wheel's control, a hint of surprise flashed in the Fragrant Yao Consort's eyes, followed by intense anger.

Damn Lan Wanghai, you've forced my hand!!

If she couldn't repel Lan Wanghai and escape immediately, if the commotion of the battle alerted the Tianrui Holy Emperor who was in seclusion, she would be in big trouble.

Gritting her teeth, the Fragrant Yao Consort's hand seals changed, and pure, heavy Buddhist light surged from her body.

As if unlocking some shackle, her aura soared, her energy erupting continuously, the bright golden Buddhist light exploding, dyeing her originally creamy skin golden bit by bit.

At this moment, she was like a radiant Female Arhat.

Her deep blue eyes, like the sea, lost all allure, turning into endless coldness.

Behind her, a solidified Buddhist Dharma Aspect appeared.

The Dharma Aspect had three heads and six arms, holding various Buddhist artifacts, majestic and terrifying, exuding a terrifying aura of destruction, as if it could destroy the entire world.

The Fragrant Yao Consort clenched her fist, lightly punching towards Lan Wanghai.

Where the fist wind reached, the space shattered inch by inch.

The seemingly small fist contained a power that could only be described as terrifying, causing everyone around to tremble in shock.

"[Nirvana Aspect]!" Yunpeng Holy Sovereign's eyes sharpened, exclaiming in a low voice, "She's actually from the Great Nirvana Temple!! To have cultivated the [Nirvana Aspect] to such a degree, she's probably not just an ordinary disciple, but the Saintess of the Great Nirvana Temple!"

Before Yunpeng's words fell.

The Fragrant Yao Consort's punch had already landed on Lan Wanghai.

The terrifying destructive force exploded.

Lan Wanghai's body shook, and he was sent flying like an arrow from a bowstring.

The Imperial Guards behind him managed to catch him with difficulty, but Lan Wanghai still coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, his internal organs severely injured.

He looked at the Fragrant Yao Consort, shrouded in golden Buddhist light, seemingly transformed into an evil Buddha, with fear: "Who are you really? What plot do you have infiltrating my Tianrui Holy Dynasty under a false name?"

"Hmph! If it were anywhere else, you'd already be a dead man!" The Fragrant Yao Consort cast a cold glance at Lan Wanghai, but instead of advancing, she retreated, transforming into a hidden escape light, rushing out of the encirclement.

Since the mission had failed and her identity exposed, she dared not stay any longer.

This was the Tianrui Holy City, not to mention the old man in seclusion, the Tianrui Sima Clan had a Holy Sovereign standing by.

Though the Sima Clan's Holy Sovereign might not care about royal affairs, if too many people were alerted, the old fellow would intervene to avoid suspicion.

Thus, the Fragrant Yao Consort's mind was filled with one thought: "Run!"

First, escape the Holy City, then find a place to hide and slowly slip away.

Unfortunately.

Just as she broke through the Imperial Guards' encirclement.

Ahead, a rift tore open in space, and an elderly man in imperial robes, tall and imposing, stepped out of the void, blocking the Fragrant Yao Consort's path.

A terrifying aura emanated from him, majestic and overwhelming, with a power that seemed to suppress the void, causing one's heart to tremble.

His authoritative gaze fixed on the Fragrant Yao Consort, filled with endless pressure.

This man was the Tianrui Holy Emperor!

Moreover, this time, it was not a projection, but his true form!!

"Your, Your Majesty! Why, why are you here?! Aren't you in seclusion?!" The Fragrant Yao Consort's hair stood on end, stopping her escape in terror.

She knew clearly that with her strength, escaping in front of the Tianrui Holy Emperor was a fool's dream.

Suddenly.

It was as if lightning flashed in the Fragrant Yao Consort's mind, and she instantly understood some things.

Her face turned slightly pale as she trembled, "So you knew all along, and today was a deliberate setup to capture me? Your Majesty, where did I slip up?"

The Tianrui Holy Emperor looked at her deeply, his eyes devoid of joy or sorrow.

After a moment, he sighed and said, "There are too many eyes and ears here, let's talk when we get back."

With that, he raised his hand and grasped.

In an instant.

Endless blazing flames surged from the void, spreading across the sky in an instant.

A humanoid phantom, almost identical to him, appeared behind him.

This phantom was enormous, towering like a giant, its form seemingly composed entirely of flames, exuding an intense fiery aura.

This was his Dharma Aspect.

As he reached out with his right hand, the Dharma Aspect's right hand mirrored the motion.

In an instant.

The terrifying aura spread boundlessly, and the sound of laws echoed continuously in the heavens and earth, as if the entire world was under his control, enveloping the Fragrant Yao Consort layer by layer.

Under the reflection of the sky full of flames, the Holy Emperor at this moment was like a king of flames, controlling everything and shaking the world.

"The Dao essence and strength of His Majesty are more formidable than I imagined." Wang Shouzhe, among the distant onlookers, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

Of course, he had never actually seen the true Holy Emperor in action.

Cai Youdao, that old fellow, had less than a tenth of his strength, currently only able to project the Holy Emperor's aura to intimidate the uninformed, incomparable to the real Holy Emperor.

"This old man's strength is actually decent, if not for being bogged down by state affairs, he might have reached the mid-stage." Yunpeng Holy Sovereign also smiled, "Being the Holy Emperor is troublesome, with many trivial matters, making it hard to focus on cultivation. But it also has great benefits, the whole Holy Dynasty is his, making it easier to gather good things than for us."

As they spoke.

With the Tianrui Holy Emperor's grasp, the Fragrant Yao Consort felt as if the space around her was confined, rendering her immobile in an instant.

Her entire being seemed to be drawn towards the Tianrui Holy Emperor's hand, unable to resist.

Damn!!

No matter how she urged her Buddhist power, the Fragrant Yao Consort couldn't break free from the Tianrui Holy Emperor's confinement, her heart filled with intense unwillingness and resentment.

This last trump card, she hadn't wanted to use it, but now she had no choice.

With a thought, a strand of her consciousness entered her sea of consciousness, diving deep, deep, until it stopped at the deepest part.

In this deep part of her sea of consciousness, a cluster of golden Buddhist light lay quietly in slumber.

This Buddhist light was not large, its color extremely pure, its aura highly restrained, seemingly without presence.

However, as the Fragrant Yao Consort's consciousness touched it, the cluster of golden Buddhist light erupted with an incredibly terrifying aura, like a beast awakened from slumber.

A golden Buddhist seal rose from the Buddhist light and then exploded.

In an instant.

Vast Buddhist power surged like a tidal wave, sweeping through her entire sea of consciousness, then washing over her whole body, finally surging out from her brow, transforming into a figure in a bright red kasaya, towering like a giant.

It was a bald elder appearing to be around fifty years old.

His appearance was vastly different from the people of the Tianrui Holy Dynasty, with high nose and deep eyes, his features profound, and his eyes cold and silver-gray.

From his slightly transparent form, it was clearly a projection, yet his aura was vast and immense, not losing to the Tianrui Holy Emperor ahead!

With just a lift and flip of his hand, he condensed a massive Buddhist hand seal, shattering the space confining the Fragrant Yao Consort, pulling her back.

Then he waved his hand again.

Instantly, the sky blossomed with Buddhist light.

Chants of sutras echoed in the heavens and earth, where the Buddhist light passed, flowers rained from the sky, golden lotuses emerged from the ground, the entire world was enveloped by a powerful Buddhist force, forcibly seizing half of the world from the Tianrui Holy Sovereign's control.

"Nirvana Buddha Lord! I didn't expect you to be the mastermind." The Tianrui Holy Emperor could hardly believe his eyes, his face extremely grim.

He recognized this bald elder.

He was the [Nirvana Buddha Lord], the master of the Great Nirvana Temple, a highly powerful and dominant sect among the Western sects.

The Holy Emperor originally thought that at most a Bodhisattva was backing the Fragrant Yao Consort, but he never expected to provoke the Nirvana Buddha Lord.

It was known that the Nirvana Buddha Lord was one of the most powerful beings in the Western Ruoshin Continent, his strength on par with the Primordial Dao Master.

"I say, unspeakable, unspeakable." The Nirvana Buddha Lord slowly turned the prayer beads in his hand, looking at the Tianrui Holy Emperor with a stern gaze, "I came to take her away."

The Tianrui Holy Emperor's heart trembled slightly, the anger that had been boiling within him dissipating by more than half, giving rise to a sense of retreat.

His Tianrui Holy Dynasty was considered remote in the entire Dongxia Divine Continent, extremely far from the Central Lands or the Primordial Dao Palace, but relatively close to the border of the Western Ruoshin Continent.

If he angered the Nirvana Buddha Lord, the Tianrui Holy Dynasty would face endless troubles.

Wang Shouzhe, watching from afar, noticed the Tianrui Holy Emperor's hesitation, his heart sinking, and decisively transmitted a message to Yunpeng Holy Sovereign: "Senior Yunpeng, we can't let them leave easily."

Wang Shouzhe knew the Fragrant Yao Consort was no simple character, and if she escaped easily, she would likely suspect him upon reflection.

What if, in her unwillingness, she became fixated and decided to cause him trouble at all costs?

"But that's the Buddha Lord! Even if it's just a projection, it represents the Nirvana Buddha Lord…" Yunpeng Holy Sovereign gave Wang Shouzhe a sideways glance, transmitting a message, "I've heard he's very petty, what if he holds a grudge against me later?"

"Is our Primordial Dao Palace so cowardly?" Wang Shouzhe glanced at him, clearly provoking, "They've already ridden over our heads, and you're still hesitating, not daring to make a sound?"

"I'm not cowardly… I'm just worried about triggering a war between the two continents." Yunpeng Holy Sovereign transmitted worriedly, "The situation on the Void Battlefield is tense, it's not a good time for internal conflict. How about you, Shouzhe, use your Dao Seal to call your ancestor?"

"……"

Wang Shouzhe was speechless.

If he had a Dao Seal, would he need you?

Immediately, Wang Shouzhe's expression turned solemn, his voice calm and steady as he continued transmitting: "If you don't act today, Baoguang will surely write about it in a magazine and spread it everywhere. Then, how will you explain to the peers of the world? How will you explain to the Dao Master?"

At this point, he changed his tone, "Besides, with them already on our faces, if the Primordial Dao Palace doesn't act, once word spreads, where will the Dao Master's face go? Senior Yunpeng, at least give them a profound lesson, so they know the severity and won't dare to act rashly in the future."

Yunpeng Holy Sovereign glanced at the "innocent" Wang Baoguang, swallowing hard.

Alright, he knew Wang Baoguang's character well, if it spread, he, Yunpeng Holy Sovereign, wouldn't be able to show his face anymore.

Immediately, Yunpeng Holy Sovereign flickered and "attacked." As he left, Wang Shouzhe's reminder lingered in his ear: "Holy Sovereign, do your best, don't tarnish the name of the Primordial Dao Palace."

At this point, Wang Shouzhe finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As the saying goes, when the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up. As long as Yunpeng Holy Sovereign and the Tianrui Holy Emperor attracted the fire and hatred without falling, Wang Shouzhe would be safe. Moreover, they were esteemed Holy Sovereigns, backed by the Primordial Dao Palace and the Central Lands.

Sure enough.

Seeing the Tianrui Holy Emperor silent, seemingly hesitant, the Nirvana Buddha Lord understood his intentions.

Without further words, he reached back, placing the Fragrant Yao Consort in the palm of the Buddhist light, preparing to leave grandly.

At this critical moment.

Another domineering aura, exuding a wild aura of a Holy Emperor, exploded in the sky, sweeping across in all directions.

Wearing wide-sleeved robes, exuding a heroic spirit, Yunpeng Holy Sovereign simultaneously crossed the void, appearing before the Nirvana Buddha Lord.

He flicked his sleeves, placing his hands behind his back, his face full of righteous anger: "The Nirvana Buddha Lord comes and goes as he pleases? Trying to take a criminal by force, such arrogance, where does that leave our Primordial Dao Palace?"

The more he spoke, the more he felt justified, his aura becoming increasingly majestic and stern, blocking the Nirvana Buddha Lord's path.

"Brother Yunpeng, this is…" The Tianrui Holy Emperor hesitated slightly.

Today's matter was originally Yunpeng who "discovered" the Fragrant Yao Consort's anomaly, setting up this trap to capture her and eliminate the threat.

But unexpectedly, it turned out to be a much larger entanglement…"Brother Lüqiu," Yunpeng Holy Sovereign said solemnly, "The Fragrant Yao Consort has infiltrated the Tianrui Holy Dynasty with undoubtedly significant intentions. Today, on behalf of the Dao Palace, I declare that we absolutely cannot let her leave. We must uncover their purpose!"

Since Yunpeng Holy Sovereign had invoked the Dao Palace, the Tianrui Holy Emperor had no choice but to comply, saying, "In that case, everything today will follow Brother Yunpeng's lead."

"Nirvana Buddha Lord, if your true self were here today, we would naturally have no objections," Yunpeng Holy Sovereign then shifted his attention, speaking coldly, "But unfortunately, you are merely a projection today. Leave the Fragrant Yao Consort behind and return to where you came from, or else..."

"Or else what?" Nirvana Buddha Lord retorted coldly.

"Or else, don't blame us for 'extinguishing the Buddha' today," Yunpeng Holy Sovereign declared with overwhelming dominance. "If this projection of yours is destroyed, it will surely affect your true strength. I don't believe you can still contend with our Dao Master then."

He thought to himself, that kid Shouzhe was right; such provocations cannot be tolerated. Yunpeng Holy Sovereign was not a lone cultivator without backing.

Moreover, that kid Shouzhe had a powerful force behind him. If anything happened, the kid would take the brunt of it.

The more Yunpeng Holy Sovereign thought about it, the more justified he felt.

Hmph~ If the Nirvana Buddha Lord doesn't know what's good for him today, then let this projection remain.

His confidence surged, and the aura emanating from him became increasingly fierce and majestic, locking onto the Nirvana Buddha Lord with lethal intent.

Neither the Nirvana Buddha Lord nor the Fragrant Yao Consort had expected Yunpeng Holy Sovereign's attitude to be so uncompromising.

The atmosphere was momentarily at a stalemate.
