2009 Before the Storm (1/2)
In the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, the return of the godking from the Universe Region shook the entire world.
After that, news got circulated out. One of the eight ancient godkings, Godking Desolate, he was actually a royal-blooded heaven devouring beast. He suffered a backlash and got heavily injured during cultivation and soon after that, the Godking from the Universe Region sneak attacked him and imprisoned him in the western paradise, absorbing all his power away.
This news caused the views of many people towards the buddhist path to turn topsy-turvy. For some of the powerful cultivators, they were shocked but didn't feel that this was unbelievable. After all, a battle at that level would surely be extremely ferocious. They understood that regardless of deities or Buddhas, everyone was still human. Humans weren't sages. In order to ascend to the peak of the world, one naturally had to step on the bones of many others.
For example in this era, the western world, the Heaven Vault, Yue Changkong and Che Hou. They were the representatives of the current pinnacle in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. A war would surely happen between these four grand factions. At that time, it was unknown how many people would die.
Everyone could faintly sense that that day was soon approaching.
Now, it was the calm before the storm. This upcoming storm would surely engulf the entire world.
This news was naturally circulated to the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect as well. After Qin Wentian learned of it, he felt a chill in his heart. Seems like his conjectures were correct. Little Rascal's origin was actually so powerful. Also, that Buddha Sovereign who was the godking of the Universe Region was actually such a despicable person. Naturally, Qin Wentian had already experienced the methods of the western paradise before. Regardless of the Karma Buddha or Reincarnation Buddha, their methods were truly filthy to the extreme. Hence, he wasn't too surprised by this news.
He was thinking that if these buddhist cultivators were like the Bodhi Abbot who was fully devoted to Buddhism and had sacrificed himself back then, the western paradise wouldn't have become such a place.
True buddhas weren't in the western paradise. The buddhas in the western paradise were buddhas who were enamored with strength and power. What they cultivated wasn't virtue and kindness, they cultivated strength.
Qin Wentian initially wanted to hide this from Little Rascal but Little Rascal eventually learned about it. Back then, he saw the scenes of his parents in that dream-like state. From then on, Little Rascal was often distracted and unable to focus. Now that he learned of this news, his roars of anger shook the Heaven Vault as a baleful aura permeated the air. He wanted nothing more than to kill his way into the western world and destroy the western paradise.
His gigantic form soared through the air, flying towards the Heaven Vault's exit. Qin Wentian's figure appeared, blocking him. ”Little Rascal, right now, a huge change has occurred in the western world. The godking of the Universe Region has returned. He is sure to be exceedingly powerful. It's highly probable that we would be unable to kill him now.”
That was a true godking, someone alive from the ancient era until now. Now, his return actually caused such a huge commotion. Also, it was a given that he possesses godking techniques from ancient times. Even though Qin Wentian was very confident in his own strength, he didn't dare to say that he would be able to deal with the godking from the Universe Region. The Buddha Sovereign is a true godking existence.
It was naturally more impossible for Little Rascal to be a match for the Buddha Sovereign. Compared to the western world, Qin Wentian and the experts of the Heaven Vault still needed more time.
”I'm going to devour that bald donkey.” Little Rascal coldly spoke. The baleful qi transformed into terrifying clouds of demonic qi. It was one thing if he doesn't know about his origins. But now, after learning that he is a descendant of Godking Desolate and his parents were killed by the bald donkey of the western paradise, one could very well imagine the killing intent in his heart.
”I'll take revenge for you. Not only for you, the debt of Little Ye's revenge as well. But the time is not now. Our enemy isn't solely the western world, there's still Yue Changkong in the dark and Che Hou's hostility. No one knows when they will attack the Heaven Vault. We have to grow stronger and become much stronger than before.” Qin Wentian spoke. It wasn't that he didn't wish to kill their enemies. In truth, although he killed the Karma Buddha, was he the only one responsible for Little Ye's death?
The western world has always coveted the Heaven Vault. They once urged the hegemonic powers to gather and attack together. Qin Wentian had long felt hatred for them in his heart. He was the same as a little Rascal and wanted nothing more than to raze the holy ground of the Buddhist Sect to flat ground.
Little Rascal turned over and stared at Qin Wentian. His large saucer-like eyes were blood-red. When Qin Wentian saw his eyes, his heart involuntarily trembled. He felt somewhat unbearable. He then spoke, ”But if you insist on going to the western paradise now, I'll accompany you.”
”ROAR!” A low-sounding roar echoed from Little Rascal's throat, it sounded hoarse, like he was trying to suppress his anger. He looked into Qin Wentian's eyes. The two of them had became connected telepathically since a long time ago, he knew what Qin Wentian said was the truth, Qin Wentian was willing to accompany him. However, how could he harm Qin Wentian and toss away his rationale for the sake of his revenge?
Little Rascal turned his head away and glanced at the Heaven Vault. Behind him, many familiar faces appeared. These people had accompanied them in the Heaven Vault for many years and could be considered kin to him. They were also kin to Qin Wentian and many of them needed Qin Wentian to protect them.
”HOWL!” A howl of violence echoed out. Little Rascal's gigantic body turned as he flew into the sky, into the nine heavenly layers as he began to devour the astral light from the constellations.
Qin Wentian could imagine how much pain and hatred there was now in Little Rascal's heart. He had felt the same way when he learned of what the Qin Clan did to his father back then. The anger he felt was like it could burn through everything. At that time, he wanted nothing more than to kill his way into the Qin Clan and obtain revenge for his father.
But even so, Little Rascal had chosen to endure for his sake and for the Heaven Vault.
Right now, the situation in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms wasn't calm at all. It was already exceedingly difficult to deal with the western paradise and Yue Changkong. And now, another Che Hou has appeared. The pressure boring down on the Heaven Vault was far greater than before.
