Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown - Chapter 454: Life or Death
Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Life or Death
The next morning.
Sumeru Mountain.
The Seven Zen Observation Gates and the Four Great Secret Sects were all gathered here.
Of course, two were missing.
One was the Great Buddha Temple, the other was the Celestial Dragon Sect.
“That Lu Ran visited our Longquan Temple, so arrogant! This time, if he dares to come to Sumeru Mountain again, we’ll make sure that scoundrel doesn’t return!” shouted an old monk from Longquan Temple, swearing.
The other Buddhists were confused.
Some even looked down on them:
“What characters can the Taoist Sect produce nowadays?”
“You’ve been suppressed to this extent at Longquan Temple, isn’t it your own problem?”
“Have you worked hard over the years, has your Tao cultivation grown?”
“Would that kid dare to try our Great Zen Secret Sect?”
“What’s so great about the Great Zen Secret Sect? Everyone has come to Sumeru Mountain, what makes your Great Zen Secret Sect so special?”
…
The crowd below was noisy.
But these were all highly respected bigwigs in their own sects, yet on Sumeru Mountain, they were all just Little Karami.
Above.
Six monks with golden halos behind their heads just looked on casually without interrupting.
One of them was the monk who had exchanged blows with Lu Ran at the entrance of Sumeru Mountain.
The rest, though simply dressed, wore garments that were all different and varied in color.
Their appearances even differed greatly!
At the very back, a Buddha seated in meditation over thirty meters tall slowly spoke: “Silence.”
Just two simple words instantly quelled the entire scene, bringing the originally noisy setting to complete silence.
Everyone dared not make a sound, looking up at the Buddha.
Strangely enough.
Although the Buddha was over thirty meters tall, his face was impossible to see clearly.
The more you tried to see it, the more it seemed shrouded in mist, and staring too long would even make one’s mind dizzy.
“World Venerate, will the Taoist Sect indeed gather today?” one monk asked.
“Whether they come or not is of no consequence. I’m rather curious about Lu Ran. Since he was able to take the Great Buddha Temple and Celestial Dragon Sect, logically Longquan Temple shouldn’t pose a problem to him either. However, despite Longquan Temple’s provocation, he left it alone. Why is that?” the World Venerate Buddha pondered aloud.
His voice was ethereal and grand.
Though not loud, every monk present heard it clearly.
Upon hearing this.
All simply gave each other looks, bewildered, but no one had an answer.
For no one could solve this mystery.
“As for the Taoist Sect, should they come today, there will be a final reckoning. From then on, the world shall have no Taoist Sect. If they do not come, it matters not. Since they have provoked Sumeru Mountain, we shall drag them all out in one fell swoop, once and for all.”
At this point.
The World Venerate Buddha paused slightly.
He continued: “Additionally, Cen Yunuo must be captured; this is a task that must be completed.”
Meanwhile.
The various factions of the Taoist Sect had already gathered at the foot of Sumeru Mountain.
Everyone rode on the back of the Abyss Bone Dragon.
With that.
Lu Ran summoned hundreds of Abyss Bone Dragons, covering the sky and flying through the air.
As they approached Sumeru Mountain.
Lu Ran turned around and shouted: “Ahead is Sumeru Mountain. Everyone stick close to me, do not run around, and you needn’t do anything, remember that!”
With this said.
He willed, and all the Abyss Bone Dragons accelerated, flying over Sumeru Mountain.
Then they stopped at the edges.
Lu Ran recalled all the Abyss Bone Dragons, and everyone gathered together, marching mightily towards Sumeru Mountain.
Within Sumeru Mountain.
The previously silent World Venerate Buddha suddenly lifted his gaze, his eyes seemingly piercing through the surrounding structures to see outside.
“They’ve arrived, open the gates!” he instructed indifferently.
The gates of Sumeru Mountain slowly opened.
Outside, below the stairs, one could see the Taoist Sect members pop their heads up one by one, stepping forward step by step.
During this process.
The World Venerate Buddha scanned them and furrowed his brow, saying: “The Taoist Sect is a scattered bunch, yet they gathered so many, which is surprising. However, their Tao cultivation is low. The leading Professional and Cen Yunuo, their levels aren’t high either. Is the Professional beside Cen Yunuo the one who provoked Sumeru Mountain that day?”
Upon hearing this.
The monk who had previously fought with Lu Ran glanced outside.
Nodded: “Yes, but that Lu Ran, though low in level, is very powerful, invincible on his own, and extremely powerful in attack. He can summon formidable partners to assist in battle, capable of suppressing the Four Great Guardian Celestial Gods.”
Oh?
The World Venerate Buddha raised an eyebrow.
Gazed casually.
Not long after.
Lu Ran and the others entered the gates.
After all the Taoist Sect members entered, the gates slowly closed.
Lu Ran looked up.
This place had a resemblance to an ancient Roman arena.
All the monks were gathered on the surrounding stands.
As if watching monkeys, the Taoist Sect members were on the open ground below.
This area was vast, and even with several hundred Taoist Sect members, they only occupied a small portion.
Looking around.
The monks in varying sizes.
The most conspicuous, firstly, was that enormous Buddha, followed by the six golden monks at the Buddha’s feet.
According to Lu Ran’s understanding, that immense Buddha was the leader of Sumeru Mountain.
Very high level!
At least above level 120!
This was beyond the current Professional’s reach.
Lastly, were those six monks.
Lu Ran remembered one, as he had exchanged blows with him.
Initially, Lu Ran thought that guy was a leader in Sumeru Mountain, but seeing this, he was just a head.
Overall, Lu Ran was somewhat disappointed.
Is that all?
Is that all?
The Buddhist Sect gathered here, is that all?
Though there were many, tens of thousands!
And they were all core disciples of the Buddhist Sect, the lay disciples hadn’t even come. Gathering tens of thousands of core Buddhist disciples showcased the Buddhist Sect’s scale.
But with this number, coupled with the strength seen now.
It was just too ordinary!
“As expected, it’s just a series of tasks, the difficulty’s still average,” Lu Ran scoffed.
“Benefactor, are you the Lu Ran who challenged our Buddhist Sect?” asked the World Venerate Buddha.
The ethereal sound left Lu Ran speechless.
What’s with the pretentious act!
Can’t he speak normally?
Then he raised his head and shouted: “Indeed, it is I, your grandfather. The Taoist Sect has gathered here today to settle things with the Buddhist Sect once and for all.”
The World Venerate Buddha chuckled.
“If so, how do you intend to settle it?”
Lu Ran raised an eyebrow.
Sweeping a glance around, he finally spoke: “After all these years of enmity, it naturally ends with life or death. Today, the Buddhist Sect shall disappear from this world.”
Just that simple.
Lu Ran spoke with great certainty.
The surrounding monks sneered.
They immediately erupted into noise.
