Chapter 628: Chapter 57: Lu Xuan of Usurped Destiny Descends Upon Kongtong

"Sister Xiaoxi, what do you think?"

Chen Xiaoxi nodded slightly.

"Master Yan is skilled at Cultivation, and all his disciples are extraordinary. Besides, as the old saying goes, a strict master produces a brilliant student..."

As she spoke, she and Li Daxi exchanged a look, and both saw the confusion in each other’s eyes.

’Strange...’

’There’s something strange about this Daoist’s identity. Why is there no memory of his past at all?’

’How very, very strange.’

...

"How strange, how strange?"

Lu Xuan stood upon the Great Heaven and Earth, wielding the Heaven-Opening Banner. He was bashing the Buddha Mother’s head until it was covered in blood, yet a look of confusion appeared on his face.

’Why... why am I fighting here?’

’It seems it was to draw the attention of All Daoist Fruits, making it easier to send an avatar to the Kongtong Immortal Realm to visit Xiaoyan and the Lady.’

’But the problem is, I never sent an avatar at all, did I?’

The confusion in Lu Xuan’s eyes deepened, and an inexplicable sense of irritation arose in his heart. Even his attacks became several degrees more vicious!

His Dao Fruit Body glowed, illuminating All Realms and all ages. Lu Xuan opened his mouth and exhaled fiercely. The Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water in his chest surged out, transforming into the most malevolent breath since the Creation of Heaven and Earth!

The breath of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water shot out like an arrow, piercing the Buddha Mother’s skull and causing it to crack. The Heaven-Opening Banner slashed down, and the Immortal Slaying Sword Array began to turn!

"Lu! Xuan!!"

The Buddha Mother shrieked hoarsely:

"I merely wished to rest for a while in the Chaos! Why must you do this? Why!!"

He also spat out the Great Belly Buddha to hunt Lu Xuan, but both were beaten back violently, covered in wounds!

The Buddha Mother’s foundation was ultimately too shallow. He had become an Ancient One using an Illusory Dao Fruit and possessed no Dao Fruit Great Artifact, let alone a Dao Fruit Supreme Treasure...

Under the suppression of the Heaven-Opening Banner and the Immortal Slaying Sword Array, he was in a miserable state, able only to take a passive beating!

Lu Xuan’s brow was tightly furrowed as he continued to ponder. ’What exactly is wrong here?’

’Why would I not send an avatar to the Kongtong Immortal Realm?’

’Wrong, wrong, wrong!’

A strange sense of disconnection surfaced in Lu Xuan’s mind. He had a sudden realization, and was immediately horrified!

’I absolutely should have ordered an avatar to go to the Kongtong Immortal Realm, and an avatar definitely went.’

’But now I have no memory of it, and it’s accompanied by this feeling of disconnection...’

’Fu Xi.’

VMMM!

The Creation Jade Scroll, already forged eight times, began to tremble and hum. The Dao Ancestor Embryo was also warning Lu Xuan.

Suddenly, that lost period of memory, that lost stretch of fate, that lost piece of his identity—it all resurfaced in his mind!

’It really was Fu Xi.’

Lu Xuan flew into a rage. He glared fiercely at the Buddha Mother and roared:

"Come, Buddha Mother! Come and fight me!"

"This isn’t enough!"

He revealed his Primordial True Form and his True Fighting Form. Behind him, the Six Paths Plate, a blurry Chaos, an aura of seventy-two colors, and other phenomena slowly circulated.

Each of his nine arms grasped a Great Dao and hammered down fiercely!

The Buddha Mother was in a pathetic state, on the verge of being gravely injured or even killed. He finally began to avoid the fight, choosing to flee. Coughing up blood, he retreated into the depths of Chaos...

Before he fled, he was filled with resentment:

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I will watch you build your high towers and feast your guests! There will be another day, there will be another day..."

"Is that so?"

All causes and all effects were reflected in Lu Xuan’s eyes. He himself did not move, but in the countless possibilities of the future, every version of Lu Xuan was attacking the Buddha Mother.

And as the future was reflected into the present, the Buddha Mother was instantly torn to shreds, his humanoid Form no longer recognizable!

He fled even faster.

Gazing as the Buddha Mother’s figure vanished into the depths of Chaos, Lu Xuan still wasn’t satisfied. Having a part of his identity replaced by Fu Xi out of the blue was both horrifying and infuriating.

He felt a headache coming on. Pacing back and forth, he made a mental note to settle the score with Fu Xi.

Then, he simply sat down upon the Great Heaven and Earth, his majestic and imposing presence radiating in all directions as he surveyed his surroundings.

"Fu Xi, oh, Fu Xi..."

Lu Xuan still couldn’t swallow his anger. Deciding not to hide any longer, his true body walked to the gap between Existence and non-existence, fished out the Kongtong Immortal Realm, and stepped inside.

...

"Kongtong..."

The Demon Ancestor gazed at the Kongtong Immortal Realm as it emerged from the void. His eyes flickered, but in the end, he said nothing and did nothing.

The current situation was not very favorable for them. Amitabha had fallen and died, Houtu’s position was unclear, and the Purple Cloud Palace Master could not be fully trusted...

On the other hand, Haotian had re-entered the ranks of the Enlightened Ones, and as long as that Lu Xuan stood upon the Great Heaven and Earth, he possessed power comparable to an Ancient One.

The Three Pristine Ones were an even more insurmountable mountain, and the Goddess’s injuries were likely almost healed...

’This is not the time for an open conflict. We might not be their match.’

As he mulled this over, the Demon Ancestor glanced at Bodhi and asked softly:

"How are the arrangements coming along?"

"Essentially, there are no issues." The Ancient Bodhi Buddha lifted his eyelids, his expression calm. "The Buddha Country has been established, and the Journey to the West is about to restart. This time, all the Dao Fruits will be participating."

The Demon Ancestor nodded slightly.

"Count me in. This should be the final battle before the last kalpa... As for Houtu, is there still no response?"

"None. Houtu’s position is very ambiguous, it’s not clear. Also..."

Bodhi hesitated for a moment before continuing:

"Also, there seems to be a variable on Taiyi’s side. He has reforged the Donghuang Bell, and he himself has become increasingly ethereal and difficult to perceive."

"That’s a good thing."

The Demon Ancestor nodded, his eyes suddenly shining brightly.

"This will be our best chance. The last kalpa is imminent but not yet here. Spirit Treasure is temporarily unable to step into Perfection, while Supreme is getting ever closer to falling from his realm."

"When the Journey to the West restarts, the last kalpa will be just one step away. Although the Spirit Treasure Great Heavenly Venerate will also be just one step away from Perfection, by the same token, Supreme... will fall!"

Bodhi nodded with a smile, his gaze profound.

"Indeed. Two beings approaching the level of Perfection are far inferior to one true Perfect Dao Fruit. This specific point in time is our opportunity!"

After a pause, he began to strategize:

"When the time comes, you and Fu Xi can team up to hold back The Three Pristine Ones, who will be without a Perfect Dao Fruit. I can tie up Haotian, we’ll leave Lu Xuan to Taiyi, and the Buddha Mother can delay the Goddess..."
