Chapter 36: Three Terrifying Grandmasters

I reign supreme over heaven and earth!

The first thing that Master Yuanhui ‘saw’ was the monumental phrase with the size of a mountain.

Each brush strokes filled the heavens and earth, creating a terrifying phenomenon.

After that, those gigantic calligraphy writings suddenly transformed into three blur figures.

“Fist is power!”

The one standing at the leftmost was extremely tall with his fists balled up.

His gaze was one of world domination, having the ambition to swallow the entire universe.

For some time, even Master Yuanhui was stunned by the presence.

When he refocused his attention, he saw it even clearer.

That person had an unrivalled aura, as though he was a hero who ruled over the world.

However, between his brows were a slight sense of boredom, a hint of sadness. It was both captivating and scary.

He was courteous, yet fully displayed his abilities!

The most eyecatching thing was definitely that person’s fists.

They were firm, heavy, mighty, and powerful!

It was as though all the weapons in the world were nothing before him.

His fists were sufficient for him to subdue the nine provinces, turning the world over.

“What a domineering hero! Such terrifying spiritual will. He must be far beyond the eighth Mortal Stage!”

Before Master Yuanhui was done feeling surprised, another blurred figure stepped forward with a loud bang, standing on the right side.

The other party wore black and was built like a mountain, steady and grand.

His skin was fair. No matter how one looked, he seemed like a person sculpted from crystal.

His eyes were of azure color like a deep lake. They were like whirlpools, sucking in one’s soul as they gave off a strange evil nature.

Even someone like Master Yuanhui who had a great Zen background almost fell into them when caught off guard.

“Realization of illusion and reality is empty! Composed and unfazed, consider with great care!”

The man dressed in black had the demeanor of a deity, watching over all life without a shred of emotion.

At the same time, he was also like a demon, tempting people out of nowhere.

Each of his motions had the terrifying ability to twist a person’s spirit and control one’s soul.

“Amitabha! Amitabha! Amitabha…”

Master Yuanhui recited the Buddhist chant repeatedly, using the calming power of the great Zen he practiced over the years to suppress the evil thoughts that appeared in his heart out of nowhere.

It was too unnerving!

He could not afford to even give it another look!

Master Yuanhui forcefully shifted his gaze away to avoid the black-clothed man’s gaze,

Since the day he joined the religion and entered the Heavenly Dragon Temple, he had never come across such a dangerous demon in his 80 years of cultivation!

“Innate Grandmaster! It’s at least the ninth Mortal Stage!”

Master Yuanhui backed off a few steps with a layer of sweat appearing on his forehead.

He felt like he was enduring great pressure. His straight back started to signs of bending over.

“I come from a lowly background. What’s the use of the world for me?!”

A gentle lamentation rang out all of a sudden.

A tall man wearing the robe and crown of an emperor appeared suddenly, standing right between the hero and the demon.

That tall man carried the Sun and Moon on his shoulders and moved the world!

He appeared just like a true emperor, ruler of a dynasty!

The three blurry spiritual manifestations appeared together and almost left Master Yuanhui breathless from their oppressive aura.

If not for his above-average willpower and great understanding of Zen, Master Yuanhui would have fallen to his knees immediately.

He barely managed to maintain his consciousness and immediately assumed the lotus position.

He relied on his true Buddhist nature to fight off the massive waves of terrible aura rushing at him.

“Why would the King of Yaksha’s sea of consciousness be imprinted with the martial will of three grandmasters!?”

Master Yuanhui was baffled.

Why would a ‘small fry’ of the Titan Stage require an Innate Grandmaster to take action personally?

Moreover, it was three of them at once!

Just as Master Yuanhui could no longer resist and assumed the lotus position, Marquis Zhao Kai and the old eunuch Chen Chaoen felt their spirit being stirred as well, causing them to take a step forward against their own will.

One looked at the mentally unstable Moro who had his dantian sealed away.

The other stood before the Emperor of Zhou with an alert look in his eyes.

“Such a strong martial will!”

In the crowd, Marquis Zhao Kai had the highest cultivation level.

He had a solemn look on his face as he carefully sensed the mental fluctuations coming from within Moro.

“I reign supreme over heaven and earth… Such a strong presence! Of all the lives in the world, only I stand at the top! Is he trying to be the emperor, or perhaps even a god?!”

Chen Chaoen looked as though he was faced with a great enemy as he said in a low voice, “Marquis, there’s something wrong with the Vajrayana monk!”

Marquis Zhao Kai nodded lightly and walked down the platform.

He walked past Master Yuanhui who sat on the ground trying to guard his mind.

Marquis Zhao Kai was at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Stage.

He had long since passed the tribulation and completed his spiritual transformation to manifest his martial will.

The impact he received was less intense compared to Master Yuanhui.

“Three grandmasters… Impossible!”

However, that did not prevent Zhao Kai from feeling the immense shock.

There were only so few Innate Grandmasters in the world, with only ten of them on the ranking board.

They were all from each of the great sects.

Even if they included the other great experts out there and those from the big families, it would still be less than 20 of them.

Nevertheless, that day, Zhao Kai ‘witnessed’ three grandmasters!

One oppressed the world with his fist, ruling over the Divine Continent.

One was a demon among demons, corrupting all souls.

One carried the Sun and Moon, moving the world.

Looking at the presence, spirit, and martial understanding, they were no ordinary grandmasters!

“Unfortunately, they have no physical bodies to support them. In the end, the martial will is like a rootless tree, sourceless water. It won’t last long.”

Zhao Kia suddenly felt pity. Moro was still too weak in the end and was unable to carry the martial wills of the three grandmasters. He could only manifest their illusory figures.

By the time he could gain some insights and experience the secrets of the Innate Stage, those three figures would have dissipated.

“Your Majesty, our top priority is to lockdown the imperial city. We best initiate an all-out search of Tianjing City to look for the Gandharva!”

Zhao Kai turned around and bowed performing the greeting with his hands together.

How could a small fry like Moro attract the attention of three grandmasters?

Marquis Zhao Kai thought it over and felt the issue must be on the Gandharva’s challenge.

The emperor waved to signal for Chen Chaoen to move aside. He said calmly, “Send a decree to the Black Dragon Altar.”

The old eunuch bent over and glided away like an old ghost.

“It seems this challenge is not going to happen.”

The emperor sighed internally. His gaze subconsciously shifted over to the princes seated below him.

Given the sudden and surprising turn of events, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace seemed calm, showing no signs of worry.

His Qi nurturing was decent, albeit showing signs of forced endurance.

The emperor could empathize. Be it the fight between two Titan Stage experts, or the martial will of the three grandmasters. They were not something a regular person could endure.

Without the protection of the great fortune, it was difficult to remain composed.

The Eleventh Prince Zhao Yuan who sat in the second seat remained emotionless.

“I’m afraid this trip to the great snowy mountain and becoming the Great Boundless Palace’s Buddhist Disciple of the Living Buddha will most likely fail.”

The emperor shook his head. Moro had broken into the imperial city. By all accounts, he should be punished.

As for the Gandharva who had yet to appear, her life and death were still unknown at that moment.

Judging from the situation at hand, luck might not be on her side.
