Chapter 847: Plans Changed, Heading to Returning Ruins

“Buddha! Buddha, the Chaos Star Beast you released severely injured Yin Celestial Son, almost killing him.”

“Isn’t it natural that he doesn’t want to help you?”

“I originally wanted to persuade Yin Celestial Son to assist you, but since you think I’m playing tricks, forget it!” Lin Yuan said irritably.

Lin Yuan is just an onlooker now, and he holds the initiative in his hands.

The Buddha is the one about to be killed, leaving him with no choice.

Lin Yuan’s words sparked a glimmer of hope in the Buddha’s heart again.

“Lin Yuan, I was wrong!”

“I misunderstood you!” the Buddha quickly admitted, hoping Lin Yuan would help him.

Lin Yuan nodded and said to the Buddha, “Then hang in there for a bit, I will try to persuade Yin Celestial Son.”

“Then, we’ll vote again.”

“Don’t rush; once all three of us agree, naturally, we’ll help you.” Lin Yuan spoke calmly, while the Buddha was truly anxious.

The Buddha thought, I’m about to be killed, how can I not be anxious?

He told me not to worry, but you’re really standing there talking without back pain!

Although he thought this way, the Buddha dared not challenge Lin Yuan anymore.

Lin Yuan pretended to discuss matters with Yin Celestial Son and Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins.

As for the Buddha, at this time, he was still being beaten.

The Demon Lord seemed tireless, growing stronger the more he fought.

While the Buddha grew weaker with every blow, becoming increasingly frail.

In the void, countless tentacles of the Demon Lord whipped forward, while the Buddha’s dharma body wielded weapons to defend.

However, with the Demon Lord’s attacks increasing, the Buddha’s three-headed, six-armed dharma body struggled to hold.

The Demon-Subduing Pestle in one of the Buddha’s hands was shattered, and without a weapon, the hand was quickly ground into powder by countless void tentacles.

Once flaws appear in such a battle, they multiply rapidly.

First the Demon-Subduing Pestle broke, then a hand was shattered.

Then a shoulder, and finally a head, half of the body…

The Buddha truly couldn’t hold on any longer.

“Hurry up!”

“Lin Yuan, you guys hurry up!” the Buddha couldn’t help but shout.

If no conclusion is reached, the Buddha would be killed by the Demon Lord, so what’s the point of discussing?

Lin Yuan saw the timing was about right and cheerfully said to the Buddha, “It’s almost done, almost!”

“We immediately begin a new round of voting.”

Then, Lin Yuan, Yin Celestial Son, and Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins commenced a new voting round.

Yin Celestial Son: Agree.

Lin Yuan: Agree.

Hearing Yin Celestial Son agree, the Buddha couldn’t help but sigh with relief, thinking, I am saved, saved!

Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins: Disagree.

Buddha: “??????”

Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins’ disagreement practically fried the Buddha’s CPU.

The Buddha roared, “Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins, what do you mean? Didn’t you agree in the first round?”

Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins had something to say too!

The Heavenly Emperor answered confidently, “I did agree in the first round, but now it’s the second round!”

“Yin Celestial Son figured it out, and now I’m puzzled.”

Buddha: “I CNM*****”

“Buddha, don’t get angry. Hold on a bit longer, I’ll persuade the Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins again.” Lin Yuan said to the Buddha.

“You persuade NMLGB******” the Buddha cursed directly this time.

The Buddha realized clearly that now it was Lin Yuan’s turn to vote against.

The Buddha thought, oh, fine, fine, fine.

You’re playing this way, huh?

By the time you figure out your votes, I’ll be dead.

How could Buddha not understand that Lin Yuan was fooling him, watching him die?

Since that’s the case, the Buddha decided not to die in vain.

“Since that’s the case, let’s all die together!” the Buddha yelled, and the energy in his body started rapidly expanding.

The Buddha intended to self-destruct.

His self-destruction wasn’t just to perish alongside the Demon Lord, but also to involve Lin Yuan and the others.

A Tier One Powerhouse’s self-destruction is akin to a nuclear weapon.

Once used, it becomes a Heaven and Earth-shattering means.

Lin Yuan, Yin Celestial Son, Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins, and Yang Jing did not immediately retreat but leaned together.

With the Buddha’s self-destruction, the first to bear the brunt would undoubtedly be the Demon Lord.

Then, it would be them.

The four joined forces in defense, ensuring their safety.

At this moment, retreating was not an option; otherwise, dealing with any unforeseen situation might be difficult.

Lin Yuan and the others didn’t retreat, nor did the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord wasn’t even flustered.

At that moment, a special circumstance arose.

“Puff!”

“Puff! Puff!”

The Demon Lord’s tentacles, full of mouths, spewed pitch-black ink-like liquid at the Buddha.

The ink-like liquid formed a black cocoon upon contacting the Buddha’s body, sealing him within.

Most critically, the Buddha’s self-destruction was suppressed.

The Demon Lord had prepared to thwart the Buddha’s self-destructive means.

Lin Yuan, Yin Celestial Son, Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins, and Yang Jing exchanged glances, then acted together.

With the Buddha sealed, the next step for the Demon Lord was surely to take the Buddha into the space within the pitch-black gate, sacrificing him.

What Lin Yuan and the others needed to do was to snatch the Buddha first.

No sooner said than done.

Almost as the Demon Lord’s tentacles curled towards the Buddha, Yin Celestial Son and Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins confronted the action.

The two attacked the Demon Lord from both sides.

Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins wielded a treasure sword, slashing at the Demon Lord’s tentacles.

Yin Celestial Son directly deployed the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, pinning the Demon Lord in place.

In the Chaos Star Beast state, the Demon Lord’s power was incredibly strong.

Even with Yin Celestial Son and Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins joining forces, they were only able to reach a draw.

However, this was sufficient.

With Yin Celestial Son and Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins joining forces to hold the Demon Lord at bay, it was time for Lin Yuan and Yang Jing to shine.

Lin Yuan and Yang Jing quickly reached the cocoon sealing the Buddha, with no time to free him.

Instead, they directly used magic to push the cocoon along, akin to dung beetles pushing dung balls.

Yang Jing and Lin Yuan pushed the cocoon encasing the Buddha, intending to head towards Heaven and Earth when Lin Yuan suddenly considered a problem.

Back then, the Four Great Primordial Spirits were sworn by the Human King, unable to descend upon Heaven and Earth personally.

The Power of Rules of Heaven and Earth would impede the Four Great Primordial Spirits from entering.

The only pathways left for the Four Great Primordial Spirits to enter Heaven and Earth were reincarnation, like Daoist Ancestor, or death.

After all, once someone dies, the force of the original oath dissipates.

But now, the Buddha wasn’t dead; he was sealed by the Demon Lord.

In such a situation, the Buddha probably can’t enter Heaven and Earth!

With this realization, Lin Yuan said to Yang Jing, “Plans have changed, we’re heading to Returning Ruins.”

Since they couldn’t bring the Buddha back to Heaven and Earth, they’d take him to Returning Ruins.

Currently, Returning Ruins hosts unkillable divine generals from the Returning Ruins Divine List, equaling the strength of Heaven and Earth overall.
