Chapter 495: Chapter 495
Seeing the falling palm imprint, Soul Annihilation and his two companions despaired. They tried to escape, but found it impossible.
From high above, a sky-obscuring Buddha imprint descended. Endless Buddhist chants permeated the world, like a Buddha Land held within a palm. The Buddha’s light was dazzling, revealing terrifying, immense power.
A startling sound echoed.
Struck by the Buddha imprint, the bodies of Soul Annihilation and his two companions disintegrated inch by inch. Blood splattered, and countless laws shattered. Even their soul essences were purified by the Buddha’s light, leaving nothing behind.
Three Martial Artists of the Great Emperor Realm had fallen!
A catastrophe in the Western Buddhist World, brought to an end by two palm imprints!

Thousands of Buddhas were taken aback, their faces filled with utter astonishment.
They had already prepared themselves for the journey to the Western Paradise!
But they never expected that the Thunder Sound Temple still harbored a guardian expert capable of suppressing all invading enemies.
The Buddha of Understanding, the Monk of the Suffering World, and the Bodhisattva of Saving the World knew of the Wisdom Absolute Buddha’s existence. They bowed respectfully towards the forbidden area, their hearts filled with reverence and adoration.
The disciples of the Thunder Sound Temple, White Horse Temple, and Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple came to their senses, knelt, and worshipped with devout expressions.
"The Buddha proclaims: Restore!"
A resonant voice emerged from the restricted area.
A mystical energy enveloped the entire Western Buddhist World, healing the ravages of war. All collapsed Buddhist mountains, all sunken ground, and all destroyed Buddhist halls were restored to their original state.
In the blink of an eye, the shattered Western Buddhist World regained its pre-war appearance. Myriad golden lights radiated, and Buddhist chants drifted melodiously, creating a solemn and sacred atmosphere.
Even some injured disciples were completely healed!
"The Dharma Discourse Assembly shall continue!" the majestic voice echoed in everyone’s ears.
"We respectfully obey the Buddha’s decree!"
After paying their respects, the assembly of Buddhas sat on golden lotuses and resumed their discourse on Dharma.
Waves of Buddhist teachings emanated from the Buddha of Understanding, the Monk of the Suffering World, and the Bodhisattva of Saving the World, echoing throughout the Western Territory. Purple light descended from the heavens, and golden lotuses surged from the earth, creating countless auspicious phenomena.
Instantly, the Western Territory was restored to its former tranquility.
Countless devout believers closed their eyes slightly, listening to the Buddhist chants.
Only the vanished Buddha City silently attested to the great war, the catastrophe, that the Western Territory had just endured.
"Pavilion Master, the soul jade tokens of Grand Elder Soul Annihilation and the Martial Artists from the Western Territory branch of the Eternal Temple... have all shattered!"
Inside the Eternal Temple, a figure named Soul Bone cautiously entered the main hall and reported with reverence. His face, concealed beneath a black robe, betrayed a hint of terror and unease.
Three Great Emperor Realm Elders!
More than twenty Emperor Realm Elders!
Nearly three hundred Quasi-emperor Realm Protectors!
Such a formidable force, wiped out in such a short time! Not a single one escaped!
What on earth happened on the Western Territory battlefield?
Soul Heavenly Emperor’s expression changed drastically. His usually calm composure was shattered, sending ripples through him. Flashes of saber light erupted around his body, and his terrifying, unparalleled saber intent nearly caused the main hall to collapse.
Soul Bone knelt, trembling, not daring to look directly at Soul Heavenly Emperor.
Don’t the three major temples in the Western Territory each only have one Great Emperor Realm Martial Artist garrisoned there? With the strength of Soul Annihilation and the Western Territory branch, even if they couldn’t annihilate the three major temples, disrupting the Dharma Discourse Assembly should have been more than enough!
Soul Heavenly Emperor’s face was filled with confusion.
He turned his head to look west. A profound white light suddenly surfaced in his deep eyes, imbued with the power of the Great Dao, capable of seeing through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, piercing endless spacetime, to gaze upon the exterior of the Western Buddhist World.
Just as Soul Heavenly Emperor’s gaze was about to penetrate the Western Buddhist World, the Wisdom Absolute Buddha within the restricted area opened his eyes and took out a golden stone.
"Conceal!" the Wisdom Absolute Buddha uttered softly, his hands forming mudras imbued with potent world-force.
Instantly, the Western Buddhist World vanished, drifting into the endless Void.
"Damn it! They actually refined a mustard seed world!" Soul Heavenly Emperor frowned slightly and withdrew his gaze, his expression grave.
He was certain that a terrifyingly powerful expert was presiding over the Western Buddhist World; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to detect his gaze, much less control the Western Buddhist World’s movement.
"It seems preventing the Dharma Discourse Assembly is no longer possible," Soul Heavenly Emperor muttered, his face etched with reluctance.
To be able to kill three Great Emperor Realm Martial Artists means the expert presiding over the Thunder Sound Temple is very likely at the Supreme Emperor Realm.
To continue obstructing the Dharma Discourse Assembly, one would have to dispatch a Supreme Emperor Realm expert!
But there was one thing he couldn’t understand: how could the Thunder Sound Temple possess a Supreme Emperor Realm expert?
After all, in the Dharma-ending Age, before immortal opportunities manifested, the Eternal Temple had dominated the continent for nine epochs and had only produced a single Supreme Emperor Realm Martial Artist!
And that person was him!
Even his own breakthrough to the Supreme Emperor Realm had relied on ’Master’!
Other than himself, the strongest Martial Artists in the Eternal Temple had only managed to reach the Peak of the Great Emperor Realm. Regardless of the methods they tried, none could step into the Supreme Emperor Realm!
Besides them, there was only Jade Venerable of Immortality Mountain who had achieved a level surpassing the Supreme Emperor Realm, but that was due to Immortality Mountain’s legacy!
So, what did the expert from Thunder Sound Temple rely on to break through to the Supreme Emperor Realm?
"It seems I must pay Master a visit," Soul Heavenly Emperor mused. A faint black light flickered, and he vanished.
「A few minutes later.」
The kneeling Soul Bone lifted his head. Seeing the empty black throne, he breathed a silent sigh of relief, paid his respects, and slowly retreated.
「Within the Western Buddhist World!」
Without any external interference, the Buddha of Understanding, the Monk of the Suffering World, and the Bodhisattva of Saving the World were fully engrossed in their Dharma debate, using Buddhist teachings as their weapons in a relentless exchange.
The sky and earth dimmed. The principles of the Buddhist Dao surged, each of them manifesting a separate Buddha Land!
The Buddha Land behind the Monk of the Suffering World rippled. Its Buddhist aura dimmed, showing a lack of sustaining power, and he was the first to be defeated.
The Monk of the Suffering World chanted the Buddha’s name, dispersed the celestial phenomena around him, his expression serene, showing neither joy nor sorrow.
High above, the Buddha of Understanding and the Bodhisattva of Saving the World continued their Dharma debate. Their doctrinal exchange was like two armies clashing—the Buddhist teachings sharp, each point potentially decisive, the debate incredibly fierce.
「Three days passed in this manner.」
The Bodhisattva of Saving the World shook his head; the Buddha Land behind him gradually crumbled.
The entire celestial vault was now completely dominated by the Buddha Land of the Buddha of Understanding. Vast Buddha light shone brilliantly, countless golden lotuses descended from the heavens, and billions of illusory Buddhas knelt in worship.
"From this day forward, the three temples shall be one, and Buddhism shall emerge in the world!" The Buddha of Understanding opened his eyes, his gaze benevolent. With hands clasped, he spoke in a clear, resonant voice.
A Law of Buddhism manifested, stretching across the sky!
The disciples of the three major temples knelt. Myriad rays of spiritual light soared into the firmament, converging to form a new stream of Fortune. This new Fortune engulfed the Fortune of the Thunder Sound Temple, coalescing into a new Golden Dragon of Fortune.
"The Buddha proclaims: White Horse Temple shall belong to Buddhism!"
"The Buddha proclaims: Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple shall belong to Buddhism!"
The Bodhisattva of Saving the World and the Monk of the Suffering World declared loudly.
The Heavenly Universe of the Western Territory trembled.
Above White Horse Temple and Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, two colossal Golden Dragons of Fortune, hundreds of millions of zhang long, cried out mournfully as they carried their vast oceans of Fortune to merge into Buddhism’s ocean of Fortune.
The Three Temples are United!
The Western Territory is Unified!
