Chapter 522: Chapter 522

"The teachings are on the rise and will soon surpass you! By then, you’ll probably die of shame!"

Every word from Wang Yang was like a sword, stabbing directly into the hearts of the only three remaining Quasi-Saints of Buddhism.

Especially for Zhun Ti and Jieyin, who had established Buddhism and vowed to achieve sainthood through such grand vows, but now, hearing Wang Yang’s words, they felt their Daoist hearts shatter a little.

This made them truly anxious. Becoming a Saint was considered their greatest achievement. If their Daoist hearts were shattered, not to mention being demoted back to the Quasi-Saint realm, they feared they would never have the chance to return to the Saint Realm in this lifetime.

"Wang Yang, you little rascal, stop spreading lies here!"

"How dare you covet the power of our Buddhism? The calamity of the Heavenly Demons is nothing but a minor tribulation for us. Mount Meru will ultimately remain the territory of Buddhism!"

Zhun Ti said loudly, his voice resonating like a large bell, awakening Jieyin and Guanyin.

Thinking about how their Daoist hearts almost shattered,

Both felt a sense of aftermath fright.

If Wang Yang’s words truly shattered their Daoist hearts, they would undoubtedly become the biggest joke in the Three Realms.

"Hahaha, do you still need us to say it now? Buddhism, your time has gone!"

Wang Yang casually deflected a magical treasure that was sneak attacking him and spoke to the three of them.

Wang Yang was not one to hold back. From the Great Tang to the Western Heaven, the further west one went, the more monsters there were—this showed just how much filth Buddhism was hiding.

Moreover, if Xuanzang could represent Buddhism, it would also be greatly beneficial to him.

Naturally, he didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

Although Haotian looked at Wang Yang with some suspicion, he still continued to entangle himself with Zhun Ti.

The current state of Buddhism was indeed already on the decline!

Throughout the Three Realms, the rise of the Cutting Teachings Sect was unstoppable!

Buddhism was waning, a feeling both Zhun Ti and Jieyin could perceive.

However, they still felt reluctant to accept defeat and could only barely fend off the Quasi-Saints of the Cutting Teachings Sect.

"Where is Saint Taiqing?"

Tongtian came to Wang Yang’s side and asked.

"He has already fled in defeat!" Wang Yang replied indifferently.

These words made Daoist Tongtian nod, but at the same time, he was extremely surprised.

Because Wang Yang used the word "fled in defeat," making a well-known Saint flee.

Even if this Saint only had the strength of a Quasi-Saint, it was not something Wang Yang could easily shake.

The Leader of the Tongtian Sect understood that when Wang Yang entered Saint Taiqing’s Minor World, he must have had his own schemes, but he hadn’t expected Wang Yang to have made such great progress, directly causing Saint Taiqing to flee in defeat.

However, this was definitely good news for the Leader of the Tongtian Sect. The stronger Wang Yang’s strength, the more powerful he became.

After all, they were allies.

In this era where Saints did not emerge, even he could not make a Saint’s incarnation flee in defeat.

"I’ll go to Yuanshi celestial Venerable, and you help them here. Let the Expounding Teachings Sect and Buddhism fall as soon as possible!"

The Leader of the Tongtian Sect said to Wang Yang.

Now that the Cutting Teachings Sect had an overwhelming advantage, and with his and Wang Yang’s intervention, the war among the various sects could be said to be over.

"Understood." Wang Yang nodded, having already found his target.

The current second-generation leader of the Expounding Teachings Sect, who was engaged in combat with Kong Xuan—Master Yuding.

With the Leader of the Tongtian Sect taking the Sword of Slaying Immortals Array away, Wang Yang also began to gather the power of the Great Dao and headed towards Master Yuding.

On the way, Wang Yang also saw Master Xuandu and Shennong.

These two Quasi-Saints of the Human Teachings Sect seemed unaware that Saint Taiqing had already left, and they continued to fight.

On second thought, Wang Yang understood that Saint Taiqing had left too swiftly to inform them.

"Fellow Daoist, how did you get here?"

Kong Xuan was somewhat surprised to see Wang Yang, feeling significant pressure facing Master Yuding.

The Five-Colored Divine Light was almost invincible in Kong Xuan’s use, but facing Master Yuding, it was as if he had met his nemesis.

Not to mention, Master Yuding rarely summoned magical treasures and relied more on his own Eight-Nine Mystical Art, which was sufficient to combat a Quasi-Saint in close-quarters combat.

As for the damage from magical treasures, it was like scratching an itch for Master Yuding, having virtually no effect on him.

"I’ve come to lend you a hand, Fellow Daoist!"

Wang Yang said with a smile, his palm striking out at the same time, launching the pre-prepared Great Dao of the Five Elements which traced a dazzling tail through the void, hurtling toward Master Yuding.

Master Yuding was greatly alarmed and hastily circulated the Eight-Nine Mystical Art to defend himself.

However, when the Great Dao of the Five Elements truly collided with Master Yuding’s body, he discovered that nothing happened, no harm befalling him, as if Wang Yang hadn’t made a move at all.

"Wang Yang, what trick are you playing? Could it be that you’ve come here especially to humiliate me?"

At this moment, Master Yuding felt mocked and said to Wang Yang quite indignantly.

After all, he was also the Head of the Expounding Teachings Sect.

Being played was something that had never occurred to him before.

"Mocked? Master Yuding, if you don’t escape now, I fear your Expounding Teachings Sect will lose its Head of Sect!"

There was a look of pity in Wang Yang’s eyes as he regarded Master Yuding, and his words weren’t meant to scare him. Being struck by the power of the Great Dao of the Five Elements indeed felt like nothing, yet at this moment, the Eight-Nine Mystical Art might as well be useless.

If Kong Xuan were to strike with all his might now, Master Yuding would be severely injured, if not dead, no matter the luck.

Wang Yang nodded to Kong Xuan but didn’t make another move.

While his presence could indeed cause the fall of Master Yuding,

the number of Quasi-Saints that had perished in this great calamity of the Three Realms was already enough.

Taiyi, split by Xingtian’s axe, and Samantabhadra, captured in the Haotian Mirror by Haotian.

If they joined forces to kill Master Yuding here as well, the blood of the Quasi-Saint would stain the continent of Jambudvipa.

The entire Jambudvipa wouldn’t recover its vitality for ten thousand years.

Then, of the lands of the Four Continents in the Three Realms, only three continents would be left usable.

It would be hard even for the Shamanic Tribe, who lead the most difficult lives, to survive here.

Kong Xuan’s Five-Colored Divine Light swept across, and he shot forward like an arrow released from the bowstring, his head reverting to its original form, his beak sharp and the most formidable and solid part of his body.

Master Yuding, as if he were used to such oddities, stood there unmoved.

Clearly, this was not the first or second time Kong Xuan had done this.

But similarly, such arrogance left Master Yuding open to the best opportunity for Kong Xuan, who struck with his beak, leaving a trail of fresh blood on Master Yuding’s body.

Had it not been for Master Yuding altering his form in that instant before contact, allowing Kong Xuan to pass through his shoulder, a hole would likely have been left in Master Yuding’s chest.

"No, how is this possible!"

The blood of a Quasi-Saint once again sprayed onto the land of Jambudvipa,

Master Yuding stood there in a daze, his once proud Eight-Nine Mystical Art now seemingly impotent, shaking the very core of Master Yuding’s heart.

Kong Xuan’s strike not only ignored the Eight-Nine Mystical Art’s defense it also took Master Yuding’s shoulder with it.

Now, Master Yuding stood forlorn and desolate, only his right arm remaining, clutching the wound on his left shoulder, his confidence shattered.

However, Master Yuding’s stupor was fleeting; he had not completely lost his sanity.

Without another word and just a glance at Wang Yang, who stood idly by, and the still threatening Kong Xuan, he turned into a rainbow and fled.

At this point, staying any longer might have meant he couldn’t escape at all.

"Fellow Daoist, why did you not keep Master Yuding here?"

After Master Yuding had left, Kong Xuan questioned.

They had the power to capture Master Yuding just moments ago. It was Wang Yang’s telepathy that stayed Kong Xuan’s hand, allowing Master Yuding to escape.

"If we allow Master Yuding to fall here as well, Expounding Teachings Sect would not just be defeated!"

Wang Yang said to Kong Xuan, "With our power, we could indeed have the strength to obliterate the Expounding Teachings Sect."

"But then we’d have to face their backlash, and not just you and I, but also the Cutting Teachings Sect, Wa Huang Palace, and even the Shamanic Tribes’ Quasi-Saints might face the possibility of falling."

"Although the battle between the various sects is nearing its end, I still have an uneasy feeling."

"It’s not yet time to truly go for broke. Letting Master Yuding leave is not such a big deal; he’s no longer a threat."

After hearing Wang Yang’s explanation, Kong Xuan nodded and said no more.

Just as Wang Yang suggested, Master Yuding, whose Eight-Nine Mystical Art had become ineffective, was indeed insignificant.

Allowing him to leave today might not be a bad thing,

as a last-ditch counterattack might have posed a threat to them.
