Chapter 1227: Chapter 408: Above the Ninth Heavenly Layer (Ten-Thousand-Word Mega Chapter)_2

By the time these Sumi experts returned, Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang had already gone back to the Great Tang.

There must be something strange at the foot of Mount Sumeru.

But with only the Treasure Department Master Vanda?a alone, it seems impossible to open it.

However, the situation for the elders of the Ming Dynasty is entirely different now.

Although they have gathered a large number of experts, most of them are Confucian Rationalist Cultivators.

This ensures that no matter how powerful they are, their fighting style is cautious, steadily advancing.

With such scale and momentum, the Five Sections of the Mount Sumeru Vajra World must retrieve everything like facing a major enemy.

This rate of advance is also enough for the Mount Sumeru Buddhist Sect to retrieve everything from other Mortal Worlds.

Even if only three out of five sections remain, they may not be able to withstand the might of the Ming forces, but who knows what Mount Sumeru will look like now...

"Senior brother, the pit you and Tang dug in those days, who knows how many it will bury now." Chu Kun’s voice sounded somewhat like a toothache.

Lei Jun: "You’re overestimating me; I really didn’t think that far back then."

Chu Kun: "..."

Senior brother, I trust you.

Just wondering how many people in the Ming Dynasty believe... or rather, how many people will remain to consider this issue.

"The Ming runs this slow yet still catches up to Sumi’s gate; we need to make some preparations here as well." Lei Jun mused.

Chu Kun: "Are you suggesting Sumi might abandon everything behind after the battle?"

Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang last shattered the Sumi Vajra Division, and the Mount Sumeru Buddhist Sect didn’t retaliate further.

Perhaps the other four sections were unwilling to fight to the death for the Vajra Division.

Or it could be due to some other reasons causing them to hold back temporarily.

If the Ming Dynasty truly forces Sumi into a corner this time, while they will be at the forefront, it’s hard to say whether Sumi might seek retribution from the Great Tang afterward.

With this possibility in mind, regardless of its likelihood, Lei Jun is cautious.

Zhang Hui, Xiao Chunhui, and Meng Shaojie will also send messages back to Empress Zhang Wantong.

Soon, on Dragon Tiger Mountain, Lei Jun received the imperial decree transmitted from the Imperial Capital Luoyang.

The Empress apparently is also paying attention to the happenings on the Ming side.

As for the Ming at the moment, let alone this northern expedition against foreign tribes or the western campaign against Sumi, many people’s original goal was to enter Sumi for a look.

Even those who initially intended to stop at the Mortal World now cannot say much.

The portal to Sumi has already been seized.

The atmosphere is built up to this point, it’s inevitable to go in and take a look.

In the Ming Court, fearing the enemy like a tiger is a more serious accusation than rash advancement.

Hence, the Ming invades Sumi.

The Sumeru monks led by the Buddha Department, Jiamu Department, and Treasure Department resist fiercely and intensely.

They definitely do not wish for Mount Sumeru to be disturbed by outsiders.

With millennia of accumulation and effort, how could they easily let it go to waste?

But if things truly cannot be accomplished, they have time this time to make final preparations, all driven by karma...

The Sumeru monks defend with all their might.

The Ming cultivators attack in waves.

Ultimately, the experts from the Ming realize their wish to impact Mount Sumeru.

Mount Sumeru collapses.

At that moment, Grand Secretary Chen Yu from the Ming suddenly feels intense unease.

Like him, Liu Chong and other neo-Confucian Great Scholars at the Ninth Heavenly Layer Perfection also begin to feel signs of threat.

Temple Master Mu Chunyang of True Martial Taoist Temple suddenly shoots forth a brilliant light from his eyes.

The remaining Gao Ming and other great scholars of Neo-Confucianism at the Ninth Heavenly Layer also gradually begin to feel uneasy.

In everyone’s view, the supposedly pillar-like Mount Sumeru, upon its collapse, does not billow dust.

Instead, an invisible, soundless, colorless transparent vast sea of fire spreads within Sumeru.

Boundless and unending!

"...Bright King’s Wrath!" Chen Yu’s face is as dark as water.

While engaging with the Sumi experts earlier, they had come into much contact with Bright King’s Wrath.

But all the incarnations of Bright King’s Wrath by the Sumi experts combined are nowhere near the scale and force as it is now!

Led by the Buddha Department Lord Vimashaka, top Sumi experts chant the Buddhist scriptures in unison, hand-sealing together.

They break from their full defense of Sumi earlier, now focused on shielding their disciples, hastily retreating.

The Ming cultivators observe and begin withdrawing from Sumi as well.

Looking far towards the former direction of Mount Sumeru, they see in the center of the boundless Bright King’s Wrath, a gigantic black shadow ascends into the sky.

From that enormous shadow emits a terrifying demon qi evil aura, which is not even possessed by a Ninth Heavenly Layer Great Demon.

The black shadow ascends and instantaneously seems to break out from the Sumeru Realm, escaping into the endless void beyond.

Beneath it, from within the vast sea of Bright King’s Wrath fire, rises a second gigantic figure.

The body is entirely blue, with two arms, the right hand wielding a sword, and the left hand holding a cable, though the cable is temporarily severed.

Its head is crowned with five petals, a fierce flame flickers behind its head, with three glaring eyes, the right eye gazing upwards, the left looking downwards, and the forehead eye gazing forward.

The present Ming cultivators, all educated individuals, though they dismiss the Sumi monks as demon monks on a heretical path, are mostly familiar with their widely-spread scriptures and texts.

Just by seeing the huge figure showing an angry bearer in the transparent sea of fire, they immediately recognize its origin.

Acala Vidya-raja Image!

In the Buddhist Handprint Lineage heritage among the Five Great Ming Kings, it is said to be the Dharma Wheel Body of Mahavairocana Tathagata, manifesting in an angry aspect, despite the world’s demons.

The Acala Image is a mere illusion, not the actual manifestation of Mahavairocana Tathagata.

But achieving this form can only be done by a Great Venerable who has attained Buddha’s body perfection and attained the Golden Body Realm above the Ninth Heavenly Layer!

In Sumi, previously slept a Honored One of the Buddhist Sect above the Ninth Heavenly Layer.

No.

Not only that.

That Acala Image raises its sword of the right hand, wielding an invisible force slashing over the vast void, falling upon the giant black shadow attempting to flee out of Sumi.
