Chapter 83: Didn't you understand when I told you to turn off your high beams? The Buddha instantly transformed into a luminous pearl!
Above Qingyun City, Sanskrit chants echoed as golden light bathed the land.
Demon Venerable Wanhua stood in the courtyard, his legs shaking uncontrollably. He swallowed hard, looking up at the ten-thousand-zhang golden body in the sky that was pressing down so hard the entire Eastern Wasteland could barely breathe, feeling like he wanted to cry but had no tears.
That was the Dominator of the Western Pure Land!
But turning his head to look at Lin Yuan, who was sitting by the stone table impatiently picking out a golden lotus petal from his teacup, Demon Venerable Wanhua gritted his teeth, a surge of heroic resolve to face death rising in his heart.
"So what if he's a Buddha Lord? Before the Young Master, even if the Heavenly Dao itself came, it would have to obediently line up to play with mud!"
Demon Venerable Wanhua took a deep breath and suddenly soared into the sky, forcing his way through the vast Buddhist pressure into mid-air.
He pointed at the ten-thousand-zhang giant Buddha in the sky and roared at the top of his lungs:
"Listen up, you bald donkey up there with the high beams on!"
"My Young Master said! Your crappy golden light is too blinding; it's seriously affecting the Young Master's afternoon nap! I'm giving you three breaths to turn off this light and scramble back to the West! Otherwise, the Young Master will shatter your golden body tonight and use it for floor tiles!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
On the construction site just a wall away, tens of thousands of Zixiao Holy Land Cultivators were instantly scared until their Soul Flew Away and Spirit Scattered.
Cangqiongzi's vision went dark, and he almost fell headfirst into a yellow mud pit: "Is Demon Venerable Wanhua insane?! That is the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha! He actually dares to call the Buddha Lord a bald donkey and say he's using high beams?!"
Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo's scalp also tingled with fear as he tightly covered Xiao Hei Gou's mouth, terrified this stupid dog would bark and bring disaster upon them.
High above the firmament.
The expression of that ten-thousand-zhang giant Buddha, who was originally compassionate, instantly froze. Immediately after, a world-destroying Supreme fury directly burned the surrounding golden clouds into crimson karmic fire!
"Presumptuous!!!"
The Buddha Lord's voice turned into tangible thunder, exploding over the Eastern Wasteland: "A mere Lower Realm devil Cultivator dares to utter blasphemy against a Buddhist Supreme! And that Prodigy in the courtyard is even hiding a forbidden object like the Chaos Azure Lotus!"
"Today, this seat shall use the Mahayana Buddha Dharma to transcend you demons!"
Before his voice had even faded, the giant Buddha slowly raised a golden palm that eclipsed the sun, carrying a terrifying power capable of crushing the myriad worlds of the heavens, and slammed it down toward the small courtyard in the northern suburbs of Qingyun City!
[Tathagata Divine Palm · Universal Salvation]!
Before the golden palm print even landed, the Void Realm of the entire Qingyun City began to collapse on a large scale. Those old monsters at the Void Returning Stage and Mahayana Stage on the construction site coughed up blood one after another under this pure Buddhist suppression, their Dao Hearts nearly shattering on the spot.
However.
At the very moment the world-destroying palm print was about to level the courtyard.
A helpless sigh came from the courtyard.
"One, two, three."
"Time's up. I told you to turn off the light, but you really don't understand human speech."
Lin Yuan stood up from the stone stool, holding that dusty feather duster in his hand.
He looked up at the golden giant palm pressing down from above, frowned slightly, and directly swung the duster in his hand, casually whipping it toward the sky as if brushing dust off a window.
*Slap!*
A crisp, almost comical sound rang out abruptly between heaven and earth.
In the next second, a terrifying scene appeared that the powerful experts present would never forget for the rest of their lives.
There was no roar of Spiritual Qi colliding, nor any aftershocks of Law confrontation.
Under Lin Yuan's casual whip, the Tathagata Divine Palm, which claimed to suppress the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, vanished without a trace like a snowflake under a scorching sun!
But that wasn't all!
That terrifying power that erased all Karma flowed back along the trajectory of the golden light, and with a "boom," it slapped solidly onto the face of the ten-thousand-zhang giant Buddha!
"No—! What power is this?!"
The Great Sun Tathagata Buddha's indestructible golden body let out a shrill scream of extreme terror in mid-air. Then, the massive golden Buddha shattered like glass hit by a hammer, instantly covered in dense cracks.
*Bang!*
The golden light filling the sky exploded! It turned into countless points of light that dissipated into the Void Realm.
The sky returned once again to its blue and tranquil state.
And amidst the dissipating golden light, a round bead only the size of a fist, emitting a soft golden glow, came spinning down from the sky.
*Clack.*
This bead fell precisely onto a cart of blue bricks that Cangqiongzi had just pushed outside the courtyard wall.
There was a deathly silence outside the gate.
Cangqiongzi tremblingly reached out and touched the golden bead. The Supreme Buddhist Dao charm contained within it made his hands go numb.
"The... the Buddha Lord's Origin Sarira?!" Cangqiongzi's eyes nearly popped out, and he slumped onto the ground in fright.
One hit! With just a feather duster used for sweeping dust!
He had whipped the Dominator of the Western Pure Land into a Sarira?!
The courtyard gate opened.
Lin Yuan walked to the door carrying the feather duster and poked his head out to look at the golden bead on the cart of bricks.
"Oh, this lightbulb the bald donkey dropped is quite bright."
Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction, pointed at the Supreme Sarira containing the Buddha Lord's lifelong cultivation, and turned to instruct Cangqiongzi:
"Worker Cang, you're planning to use this cart of bricks to build an outhouse, right?"
Cangqiongzi nodded tremulously: "Yes... yes, my Lord. I was just about to build a new latrine in the backyard."
"Perfect." Lin Yuan pointed at the Sarira, "Embed this glowing round stone into the wall of the outhouse. It's easy to trip in the dark when going to the toilet at night; with this voice-activated night pearl for lighting, we'll even save money on lamp oil in the future."
Embedding the Buddha Lord's Origin Sarira... into an outhouse as a night pearl for lighting?!
Cangqiongzi and Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo were petrified on the spot, feeling as if ten thousand divine elephants were stampeding through their brains.
Killing the heart! This was the true way to kill the heart!
The dignified Western Buddha Lord, even after falling, was forced to have his Origin remain in a Mortal's outhouse, watching these laborers defecate and urinate every day?!
"Woof woof!" Xiao Hei Gou barked excitedly in the mud pit, seemingly celebrating that he wouldn't have to grope in the dark when getting up at night anymore.
Lin Yuan patted the dust off his hands, turned back into the courtyard, and closed the door behind him.
"Old Wan, go heat up the leftover ribs from yesterday. After all this tossing and turning at noon, I'm actually a bit hungry."
