Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2157: Who Says Buddha’s Kasaya Is Useless to Me!
Previously on Invincible Divine Sword...
Upon witnessing the intense reactions of the Contemporary Buddha Staff and Three Thousand Buddha Precepts, Yang Xiaotian felt a surge of delight and swiftly directed the entire group to soar toward the path pointed out by the Staff and Precepts.
While the party continued their flight ahead, the vibrations from the Contemporary Buddha Staff and Three Thousand Buddha Precepts intensified further.
Soon enough, Yang Xiaotian and his followers reached a sprawling plain.
Boundless in its expanse, the plain stretched out endlessly.
A soft wind swept across, making the lush greenery on the plain ripple softly.
Yet, as soon as they landed here, the signals from the Contemporary Buddha Staff and Three Thousand Buddha Precepts came to a halt.
Mad Demon, King of Netherworld, and the rest fanned out to conduct a thorough search.
However, as Yang Xiaotian surveyed the surroundings, his eyes locked onto the broad plain stretching below.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Xiaotian invoked the might of the Primordial Buddha Ancestor through the Contemporary Buddha Staff and Three Thousand Buddha Precepts, unleashing a brilliant glow that covered the whole vast plain.
Following that, the energy from the Contemporary Buddha Staff and Three Thousand Buddha Precepts seeped deeply into the soil under the plain.
Once their force delved ten thousand feet into the depths below, the once平凡 plain abruptly radiated bursts of luminescence, erupting with multiple layers of Buddha Light.
The whole plain trembled violently.
Then, under the stunned stares of Mad Demon and his companions, the plain burst apart, revealing a massive golden Kasaya rising from beneath the earth.
This golden Kasaya unleashed an endless torrent of Buddha Force.
Such a splendid Kasaya had never been witnessed by anyone before.
"The Buddha’s Kasaya!"
There was no doubt—this was indeed the Buddha’s Kasaya.
The Buddha’s Kasaya ascended, circling around the Contemporary Buddha Staff and Three Thousand Buddha Precepts.
All three holy artifacts of the Buddha Sect gleamed with brilliant radiance.
Yang Xiaotian sensed the elation of reunion emanating from the three treasures, akin to long-lost companions reuniting, and promptly employed the Primordial Buddha Ancestor's power to refine and integrate the Buddha’s Kasaya.
At the same time, Mad Demon, King of Netherworld, Rain Demon, and the others dispersed to stand guard around the plain, blocking any potential meddling from rival powerhouses.
Thankfully, the refinement proceeded without hitches, as no other experts arrived to cause trouble.
Once Yang Xiaotian completed the refining of the Buddha’s Kasaya, a profound spiritual bond formed between him and it.
He whispered inwardly, prompting the colossal Buddha’s Kasaya to diminish until it matched the size of an ordinary garment, draping itself over Yang Xiaotian.
With the Buddha’s Kasaya now worn, Yang Xiaotian gripped the Contemporary Buddha Staff and slipped the Three Thousand Buddha Precepts onto his fingers. As he channeled the Power of Three Thousand Buddha Ancestors, overwhelming surges of Buddha Light and Buddha Force radiated from the Buddha’s Kasaya, Contemporary Buddha Staff, and Three Thousand Buddha Precepts.
In that instant, Yang Xiaotian resembled the supreme Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
Even powerhouses like Mad Demon and Rain Demon found their demonic energies flowing with difficulty amid the oppressive weight of Yang Xiaotian’s Buddha Force.
In reality, the might of the Contemporary Buddha Staff, Three Thousand Buddha Precepts, and Buddha’s Kasaya restrained not just Demon Sect cultivators but also the elite of the Buddha Sect itself.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Experts from all Three Realms, Mad Demon and Rain Demon included, knelt in reverence to offer their felicitations to Yang Xiaotian.
Henceforth, Yang Xiaotian reigned not only as the Lord of Three Realms but also as the fresh supreme authority of the Buddha Sect!
"Congratulations, big brother! Big brother is invincible!" The King of Netherworld shouted excitedly in support.
Yang Xiaotian laughed lightly, finding the young one's enthusiasm quite endearing.
Next, he tucked away the Buddha’s Kasaya, Contemporary Buddha Staff, and Three Thousand Buddha Precepts within his own body.
After all, parading the Buddha’s Kasaya in plain sight everywhere wasn't practical.
"Let’s go, let’s head out!" Discovering the Buddha’s Kasaya with such ease left Yang Xiaotian brimming with happiness.
With the Buddha’s Kasaya secured, lingering in Thunder Sound Mountain served no further purpose.
Just as Yang Xiaotian and his group departed from Thunder Sound Mountain by flight, Heavenly Slaughter Buddha persisted in his diligent efforts, employing the Past Buddha Beads to locate the Buddha’s Kasaya.
Back then, he clung to optimism regarding the Buddha’s Kasaya.
He yearned intensely for that thrilling instant of donning the Buddha’s Kasaya.
Leaving Thunder Sound Mountain proved far swifter, allowing Yang Xiaotian and his entourage to exit in under two days.
As they emerged, Yang Xiaotian observed that Heavenly Slaughter Buddha’s forces remained stationed in blockade outside, now even more numerous than before, which soured his expression.
The commanders of the lingering troops broke into cold sweats upon spotting Yang Xiaotian's appearance.
Yang Xiaotian approached the assembly, hovering before the troop leaders, and declared, "Tell your Lord Heavenly Slaughter Buddha to crawl over here to see me!"
The troop leaders shared uneasy looks, intimidated by Yang Xiaotian’s role as Three Realms Lord, though they lacked the courage to actually command Heavenly Slaughter Buddha to grovel.
Abruptly, Buddha Light flared around Yang Xiaotian, manifesting the Buddha’s Kasaya upon his form.
"This is?!" The lead troop commander stared in astonishment at the Buddha’s Kasaya adorning Yang Xiaotian.
Earlier baffled by Yang Xiaotian's swift exit, clarity now dawned on him.
"Inform Heavenly Slaughter Buddha that I’ve acquired the Buddha’s Kasaya, and I’m waiting for him here, tell him to crawl over!" Yang Xiaotian commanded.
"Buddha’s Kasaya!" Chaos erupted among the onlookers.
This time, the chief commander wasted no moment, rushing to relay the message to Heavenly Slaughter Buddha, though he refrained from demanding the crawl, merely conveying Yang Xiaotian’s possession and standoff.
Heavenly Slaughter Buddha, brimming with anticipation for unearthing the Buddha’s Kasaya, received the chief's report like a plunge into ancient glacial depths.
A chill gripped his entire frame.
"Yang Xiaotian, he has acquired the Buddha’s Kasaya!" His subordinates whispered in stunned denial: "How could it be? He had only been in Thunder Sound Mountain for several days; how did he find the Buddha’s Kasaya so fast?"
"Let’s head out!" Heavenly Slaughter Buddha fought to steady his fury, uttering icily, before hurtling at breakneck pace toward the edges of Thunder Sound Mountain.
His followers scrambled to keep up.
"No matter the cost, I must obtain the Buddha’s Kasaya from Yang Xiaotian!" Heavenly Slaughter Buddha swore with raging resolve, his gaze alight with frenzied intent.
As Heavenly Slaughter Buddha sped toward Yang Xiaotian, word of Yang Xiaotian claiming the Buddha’s Kasaya proliferated wildly, luring every expert from Thunder Sound Mountain in his direction.
Through his frantic dash, Heavenly Slaughter Buddha finally cleared Thunder Sound Mountain, beholding Yang Xiaotian poised in wait and the Buddha’s Kasaya draped over him.
Taking a deep breath to compose himself, he advanced, cupped his hands, and remarked, "Unexpected that Lord Three Realms would acquire the Buddha’s Kasaya!"
"This Buddha’s Kasaya is helpful to you. I have the Past Buddha Beads, I’m willing to trade them with you for the Buddha’s Kasaya, what do you say?"
Producing the Past Buddha Beads as he uttered the words.
The arriving spectators reeled in surprise, unprepared for Heavenly Slaughter Buddha to hold the Past Buddha Beads.
Yang Xiaotian eyed the Past Buddha Beads in Heavenly Slaughter Buddha’s grasp, responding evenly, "Who said the Buddha’s Kasaya is useless to me!" He pressed on, "I previously instructed you to withdraw your troops from Thunder Sound Mountain, not to blockade it! Yet you ignored me and even increased your forces!"
Confronted by Yang Xiaotian’s refusal and the reminder of the siege, Heavenly Slaughter Buddha seethed with wrath: "Yang Xiaotian, you may be the Three Realms Lord but not the Buddha World Lord. Recognize your position! How I conduct my affairs is none of your concern!"
