Chapter 2460: Chapter 2465: Revealing the True Identity

Black Lotus Demon Buddha!

When Xia Liu first entered the Demon Domain, he had fantasized about whether he might encounter the peerless geniuses of Great Brahma Gate from ten thousand years ago here.

He hadn’t expected to actually meet one today!

Though they both hail from the Cultivation Realm.

But the Black Lotus Demon Buddha has long since marked the Cultivation Realm as an enemy camp.

If he were told today that Xia Liu is the Sect Master of Great Brahma Gate, he would probably spare no effort to kill him.

"Are you Xia Liu?"

The Black Lotus Demon Buddha stood towering atop the colossal black lotus.

His desolate voice resounded across the four seas.

As a body of an ancient Buddha, the Black Lotus Dharma Aspect possessed unimaginably destructive power.

However, Xia Liu couldn’t quite understand how the Black Lotus Demon Buddha knew his name.

And judging by his appearance, it seemed he had been waiting for him for quite some time.

"Yes, that’s me."

"The Demon Mother has given an order: you are to make one of two choices. First, sink into the Weak Water Ocean. Second, hand over the inheritance and become the true Crown Prince of the Demon Domain."

The Black Lotus Demon Buddha spoke with wild, domineering arrogance.

"Oh? As expected, this is her real goal! She deliberately lured me here, so that even if I’m killed, the Demon God Kingdom and the powerhouses of the Demon Domain won’t know the details."

Xia Liu finally understood.

No wonder the Demon Mother so kindly allowed him to come to this place.

Turns out she had arranged for such a powerful existence to be waiting for him.

What a delightful surprise.

"Which do you choose?"

The Black Lotus Demon Buddha didn’t care what grudges existed between Xia Liu and the Demon Mother.

He only wanted to know how Xia Liu would choose: to die, or to submit?

"You, the so-called Immortal Black Lotus Demon Buddha of the ages, actually take orders from the Demon Mother. Where is your pride?"

Xia Liu didn’t respond to the question, instead intending to work from the Black Lotus Demon Buddha himself.

Since things were already torn open, he had nothing to hold back.

The Black Lotus Demon Buddha had broken through the barrier and entered the Demon Domain ten thousand years ago.

Yet now he was obeying a Demon Mother at the Demi-God Realm—there had to be something fishy there.

"One last time: what is your choice?"

The Black Lotus Demon Buddha’s face showed no expression; his towering Dharma Aspect gazed into the distance at Xia Liu, awaiting his decision.

"What are you afraid of? What are you avoiding?"

Xia Liu continued, "Have you, in these ten thousand years, already grown a heart of remorse? Do you regret having slaughtered so many Great Brahma Gate cultivators back then?"

Hmm?

"What did you say!"

Suddenly, the Black Lotus Demon Buddha’s voice turned hideous.

Ten thousand years! He had thought no one would still know of that matter.

He had buried those things deep in his heart.

No one in the world knew of them.

Yet today, someone was bringing up that old history again.

The Black Lotus Demon Buddha was somewhat enraged, but also curious as to where Xia Liu had learned of his affairs before he entered the Demon Domain.

"As for how I know, that’s not important. What matters is: do you truly feel remorse?"

"Remorse? You talk to me of remorse? In these ten thousand years, what I’m most proud of is shattering several giant Buddhas of the Cultivation Realm, leaving the Southern Realm Borderlands with less power!"

The Black Lotus Demon Buddha suddenly burst into loud laughter: "Hahaha! I don’t know where you learned about me, but don’t try to tug some connection with me today. You only have two choices!"

"To think you, too, have reached the Demi-God Realm—back in the Cultivation Realm, you shattered the barrier in a single rage and charged here, yet now you take orders from a junior. If the Demon Mother’s strength had reached the Realm of Demon God, then fine. But at the same realm, the grand Black Lotus Demon Buddha still obeys her? That’s truly disgraceful!"

"Since you won’t choose, I’ll choose for you. Die!"

The Black Lotus Demon Buddha didn’t bother explaining anything to someone he didn’t trust. Before his eyes there was only the Demon Command, only the killing of Xia Liu!

"Wait!"

Just as the Black Lotus Demon Buddha was about to strike, Xia Liu raised both hands.

He felt he might actually be able to talk sense into the Black Lotus Demon Buddha.

"Black Lotus Demon Buddha, do you still remember the Strength Venerable?"

Boom!

Just as Xia Liu uttered the name Strength Venerable, the Black Lotus Demon Buddha swallowed and absorbed the Heaven and Earth Demon Energy.

In an instant, he spat out a mouthful of black mist.

Within that black mist was contained a fearsome decaying power; an ordinary Demon Lord of the eighth rank, if touched by it, might find his flesh unable to endure for even three breaths.

"Heaven and Earth Moving Wind!"

Seeing this, Xia Liu used his Divine Power Art in concert with his Demon Essence.

The Gang Wind directly scattered the black mist, and when he again saw the Black Lotus Demon Buddha’s Dharma Aspect—

A hideous expression had appeared upon that Dharma Aspect.

"White Lotus Holy Master of ten thousand years ago, listen to me for a moment."

"Haha! White Lotus Holy Master? How utterly laughable! Since you’ve spoken that name, then today you can roll into Avici Hell!"

The Black Lotus Demon Buddha was completely enraged.

He did not wish for those buried memories to be dredged up, especially not that name he had hated for a lifetime.

How could the Black Lotus Demon Buddha remain calm?

After cultivating to the Demi-God Realm in the Demon Domain, he had longed to break through the barrier, charge into the Southern Realm’s Great Brahma Gate, and crush every one of their Hundred Buddhas.

Unfortunately, the barrier and formations between the two realms made it impossible for him to step even half an inch into the Cultivation Realm’s domain.

Even after striving for ten thousand years, he remained powerless.

And now Xia Liu dared to mention the Strength Venerable.

Then he would kill him first, as sacrifice to all the humiliation he had once suffered!

"Do you know how heartbroken the Venerable Buddhas and Elders of Great Brahma Gate were after you entered the Demon Domain?"

"Enough! If they were capable of sorrow, then why did they attack me back then? Why did they try to annihilate me? Just because I had a Demon Infant?"

"Black Lotus Demon Buddha, the Strength Venerable told me more than once that they were wrong back then, wrong themselves, and wrong in those decayed rules."

Xia Liu did his utmost to hold him back, to prevent a clash between himself and the Black Lotus Demon Buddha.

Otherwise, the Demon Mother, sitting back and reaping the fisherman’s profit, would be immensely satisfied.

"Who exactly are you!"

Hearing this question from the Black Lotus Demon Buddha, Xia Liu once more manifested the ancient Seal Decrees of the Buddhism Sect.

At once, his Demon Essence surged, triggering a tremor at Mountain and Sea Pass on the far side of the Ruishui River.

Xia Liu’s Demon Buddha Dharma Aspect once more condensed within the Demon Domain’s realm.

Blood-Colored Kasaya draped over his shoulders, a Demon Buddha Dharma Aspect so powerful beyond compare, facing the terrifyingly Limitless Black Lotus Dharma Aspect.

The two Dharma Aspects born from the same source met eyes.

Time seemed to fall into a standstill.

Silent and soundless, Heaven and Earth ceased their turning.

"Venerable Buddha Dharma Aspect! And you even have the aura of White Lotus! You—!"

The Black Lotus Demon Buddha could hardly believe it.

Xia Liu was actually a cultivator of Great Brahma Gate, and possessed a Dharma Aspect similar to his own.

Though Xia Liu’s Demon Buddha Dharma Aspect could not yet compare to the Black Lotus Dharma Aspect,

The power of the two was exceedingly close.

They had sprung from a single source.

"Xia Liu, current Sect Master of Great Brahma Gate."

Standing upon the shoulder of his Demon Buddha Dharma Aspect, Xia Liu took out the Sect Master Imperial Order of Great Brahma Gate.

"Hahahaha..."

Ten thousand years might seem long, but the Black Lotus Demon Buddha had never forgotten everything that had happened to him.

Xia Liu’s identity was genuine, and it was laughable to the extreme.

"Utterly ridiculous! Back then I achieved the position of White Lotus Holy Master, and just because I gave rise to a Demon Infant, the Strength Venerable and several Venerable Ones moved to destroy me. Yet ten thousand years later, they actually let someone with the Bloodline of Demon become Sect Master! How laughable!"

Seeing Xia Liu, who shared his situation yet had met a different outcome, the Black Lotus Demon Buddha ridiculed him without end.

"Precisely because of your regret, the Hundred Buddhas of Great Brahma Gate have repented for ten thousand years. I hope you can forgive them. Moreover, as the master of Great Brahma Gate, I can assist you in returning to the Great Brahma Gate."
