Chapter 760 - 749: Meeting Tathāgata

Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan is dead.

Ding Ling originally wanted to say these words, but the Female Drought Demon had already left, so Ding Ling remained silent.

This matter can only be realized by the Female Drought Demon herself, perhaps it would be better that way.

But now Poxun is dead.

The Great Sun Buddha should soon be liberated too.

Poxun in his fourfold form.

The evil body Yann Da, who had committed countless crimes outside, was suppressed to death by the Great Sun Buddha!

Now he is even suppressed deep in the heart of the Great Sun Buddha.

With the death of Poxun, Yann Da, only one part of the whole, will also vanish into emptiness.

After all...

Poxun was struck by the Three Reincarnations.

There’s no way Yann Da could still survive.

"Although I don’t know why Poxun, having clearly split off Yann Da, could still be in a fourfold form, I think the death of the true body must influence the external entities."

He isn’t the Great Sun Buddha’s true body across countless worlds.

But merely a martial dao primordial spirit level expert in this world’s realm.

How mighty could the split-off Yann Da possibly be?

Yet the Great Sun Buddha still had to strive desperately to suppress him, which shows the Great Sun Buddha must also be extremely weakened.

As is the Female Drought Demon.

Using portals, otherworldly spaces, divine coffins, and extremely powerful arrays to suppress the Demon Emperor Palace was barely possible, let alone defeating Demon Emperor Poxun.

Thus.

The Female Drought Demon and her companions have intentions to remove demons, but no power to rescue the world. As they awaited the world’s decay in desperation, Ding Ling emerged, causing the Female Drought Demon unimaginable excitement and joy.

Now Ding Ling has truly succeeded.

Surely the Female Drought Demon would eagerly share this victory with the Great Sun Buddha and others, which is only natural.

"It’s time to sweep the Demon Realm."

With one step, Ding Ling stepped out of the Demon Emperor Palace again, arriving within the cave of the Demon Emperor Mountain Range.

In various parts of the cave, there were still some demons who had luckily escaped his slaughter.

Ding Ling activated the Seeking Truth Dao Eye, beginning to lock onto the sources of the demon qi fluctuations.

Once locked onto, the Flowing Light Escape Skill activated, spanning thirty miles in an instant, hardly any demon could evade his punches!

"The speed is getting faster."

Before entering the Demon Realm.

He could only span a dozen miles in an instant.

Now it’s thirty miles.

This is still the ordinary speed without a tenfold amplification.

If amplified, it would be even faster!

But amplification consumes too much true qi! Ding Ling couldn’t endure it for long, simply because the Flowing Light Escape Skill is an immortal level skill, amplifying such an immortal level skill consumes energy immensely.

But as long as he dashes in ordinary speed, Ding Ling does not have to worry about energy consumption, simply because the ordinary skill pairs perfectly with the Martial Dao True Understanding.

Almost as the technique is concluded, the Martial Dao True Understanding automatically runs to recover.

The recovery speed is fast enough to balance the consumption.

Thus in an ordinary state battle, Ding Ling could fight for months! Even years!

But with a tenfold amplification, the consumption could not keep up with recovery, hence it could not last long.

...

...

Days later.

Ding Ling met with the Great Sun Buddha and the Female Drought Demon in the Demon Realm.

They actively summoned Ding Ling.

So Ding Ling followed the call.

When he saw the Great Sun Buddha again, his spirit was radiant, his body was full of Buddha light, and his face returned to normal, no longer half demon, half Buddha in a bizarre form.

He joined his palms and said ’Amitabha Buddha,’ then smiled:

"Truth be told, I have much to thank you for, Ding Ling. Had it not been for you, I would likely have perished with the evil body Yann Da. Now because you vanquished Poxun, Yann Da is like rootless water; I wore him down over several days and thoroughly eradicated him!"

He seemed to be very pleased:

"Now I’ve achieved great freedom and liberation. All of this I owe to you, Ding Ling. I heard from the Female Drought Demon that you wish to learn magic and skill. Later when I have the time. You come to find me, I will teach you all I have learned and known."

Ding Ling expressed his gratitude.

The Great Sun Buddha returned the gesture:

"I dare not say so, I dare not say so. Indeed, Ding Ling, you are the Jiuzhou Human Emperor, the leader of the human realm. In the ancient era, your position was akin to the Master of the Celestial Realm. How can I accept your bow? In the future, we shall interact as equals. You need not be so polite to me, just call me the Buddha."

Ding Ling’s strength is unrivaled.

Completely aweing the Great Sun Buddha.

He had considered Ding Ling partnering with the Female Drought Demon might be slain by Poxun.

Or perhaps at best heavily injure Poxun, causing him to slumber for millennia, shelving for millennia of peace and tranquility.

Never had he dared to imagine Ding Ling might perish along with Poxun!

Let alone Ding Ling outright killing Poxun;

Thus.

When the Female Drought Demon recounted Ding Ling’s combat results, the Great Sun Buddha was astounded!

At the same time, he suddenly comprehended why the evil body Yann Da had suddenly retreated and refused to battle, it turned out Yann Da’s true body Poxun was dead!

At the time, he was surprised and overjoyed.

Though he had encouraged Ding Ling many times, wishing Ding Ling victory.

He was merely encouraging, hoping.

He could not believe this junior Ding Ling could defeat such a monstrous figure like Poxun!

After all, even the Ancient Gods could not defeat the great demon, how could Ding Ling achieve victory single-handedly?

But the results were indeed a slap in the face!

[Received C-Level Achievement Medal: You have earned the deep admiration and recognition of the Great Sun Buddha!]

[Comment: Your combat achievements are glorious and brilliant! And so unbelievable, so incomprehensible! The Great Sun Buddha is extremely amazed and impressed! His emotion is extraordinarily intense, unprecedented, and he may find it difficult to calm down his mind soon!]

Upon hearing the notification.

Ding Ling was relieved, seeing the Great Sun Buddha insist, he changed to calling him ’the Buddha.’

The Female Drought Demon also intimated that Ding Ling need not call her elder, just her name.

Ding Ling accordingly changed and called the Female Drought Demon by her name directly.

As for Ding Ling.

The Female Demon and the Great Sun Buddha found him exceptionally pleasing to the eye in every respect.

After lavishing Ding Ling with praises, they discussed the matter of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, evidently having many mysteries regarding him too.

Ding Ling then revealed the truth, even relating verbatim the words Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan had spoken to him.

The Female Drought Demon and the Great Sun Buddha listened quietly.

The Great Sun Buddha joined his palms:

"Amitabha Buddha, Good indeed, good indeed. For the Three Realms and Six Paths, countless common souls, the Master of the Celestial Realm willingly sacrificed himself, truly great selflessness, great virtue!"

"Father."

The Female Drought Demon’s beautiful eyes seemed to shimmer with tears, becoming blurred, but only briefly, she collected this melancholy emotion, gazing at Ding Ling:

"With the Xuanyuan Sword and Xuanyuan Heart Scripture having an heir like you, surely my father in the heavens would also be incredibly comforted."

...

After the three of them talked for a while.

They began to sweep through the Demon Realm again.

All three are strong.

Especially Ding Ling, once the Seeking Truth Dao Eye is activated, no demon can escape his ’magic eye’!

Many demons skilled in concealment were detected and killed by him.

The Nine Heavens Profound Lady and Rain Master hidden in the high heavens, amidst clouds and rain, were forced into corners by Ding Ling’s Seeking Truth Dao Eye.
