Chapter 1040 Carrying the Great Sage
Peach Banquet.
Andre extended his hand in a grasping motion, and a strange eye of the earth opened beneath Lin Qiye’s feet. The white jade bricks quickly split into ferocious cracks.
Then, a pair of earth hands, dozens of stories high, burst from beneath the white jade bricks and violently grabbed toward Lin Qiye who stood at the center of the palm.
At this moment, Lin Qiye still had his eyes tightly closed, standing motionless in place.
Boom——!!
A thunderous roar echoed as the enormous earth hands clapped together amid swirling dust, seemingly crushing Lin Qiye in the middle into powder, making him disappear without a trace.
The Great Xia deities in the Lower Immortal Section witnessed this scene, and their expressions changed simultaneously!
Nezha, who had been restlessly sitting in his seat, narrowed his eyes, then as if sensing something, let out a light exclamation of surprise.
Nearby, in the first seat of the Lower Immortal Section, the vertical pupil in the middle of Erlang Shen’s forehead slightly contracted, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“This aura…”
In the Middle Immortal Section, True Lord Jade Tripod and the Purple Subtlety Star Lord’s faces showed expressions of shock.
Boom——!!!
An earth-shattering explosion rang out, and the closed pair of earth hands shattered into countless fragments that splashed outward.
As the rustling sound of falling gravel subsided and rolling dust swept through, the figure of an ancient ape wearing tattered kasaya emerged from nothingness and merged into Lin Qiye’s body.
At the moment of their union, a surging demonic aura erupted from Lin Qiye’s body. His realm rapidly climbed, temporarily breaking through the bottleneck of the “Infinite” realm and stepping into the “Klein” level.
The demonic aura enveloped his skin, resembling dark brown ancient ape fur, silently dancing with the surging waves of energy.
Half of a gold and red kasaya condensed from nothingness and draped over Lin Qiye’s back, wildly dancing amid the flying dust.
His eyes slowly opened, two blazing golden flames jumping within them, as a terrifying and frenzied pressure suddenly descended.
Sand swirled, the demon opened its eyes,
Half a kasaya draped over Lin Qiye’s body, his aura sometimes as sacred as Buddha, sometimes as violent as a demon.
“The Great Sage? It’s the Great Sage’s aura!”
The Great Xia deities at the Peach Banquet, sensing the aura on Lin Qiye, showed shocked expressions.
“But didn’t the Great Sage become a Buddha? Why is there still such heavy demonic energy on him?”
“The Great Sage becoming a Buddha doesn’t mean his disciple also became a Buddha.”
“That’s right. This mortal being the Great Sage’s disciple, it’s normal that he learned the Great Sage’s demonic arts, and with a bit of Buddhist dharma added, he became what he is now.”
“But don’t you think this aura is too similar to the Great Sage’s? Even if he is the Great Sage’s successor, how could their auras be so close?”
“I also feel that he gives me the impression that the Great Sage himself is here…”
“…”
While the Great Xia deities were discussing, Lin Qiye, now carrying the Great Sage’s soul, slightly narrowed his golden eyes.
A voice appeared in his ear.
“Is this the person you said insulted the divine might of my Great Xia?”
Sun Wukong’s soul attached to Lin Qiye’s body, coldly staring at Andre in the distance, with demonic energy violently churning around his body.
“Yes.”
Sun Wukong frowned, his fiery golden eyes scanning the venue, finally landing on the Kunlun Mirror in the sky, understanding dawning in his eyes.
“Kunlun Mirror… so that’s it.”
He paused, then calmly spoke,
“He’s merely a successor of a Western deity… You carry my soul, so you must uphold the divine might of Great Xia. In this battle, you must not only win, but win thoroughly and decisively.
Lin Qiye, I ask you,
Now… how many breaths will it take to kill him?”
“…Twenty breaths,” Lin Qiye’s eyes flashed with determination. “Within twenty breaths, I will kill him!”
As the words fell, Lin Qiye stomped hard on the ground. The white jade stone brick surface instantly collapsed into a huge circular crater of cracks. His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
“Another spatial ability?”
Andre snorted coldly, and the earth eye beneath his feet once again radiated light, its red pupil rapidly rotating, locking down the surrounding space.
However, Lin Qiye’s figure was not forced out like before.
Andre’s heart immediately sank.
Not involving space?
Before Andre could react, a figure enveloped in demonic energy was already standing behind him.
Half a kasaya flashed in the corner of his eye, and the next moment, a fist had solidly struck his back!
The instant the fist made contact with his body, Andre felt as if the entire sky was pressing down on him, and all the muscles and bones in his body began to collapse uncontrollably.
Only at this moment did Andre understand how Lin Qiye had achieved his space-like flash speed.
This was not an ability involving time or space, but a perfect combination of pure physical strength and peak combat techniques.
Just as Andre’s body was about to collapse, his form visibly transformed into earth and stone. An earth eye opened in his chest, enveloping him as he burrowed into the ground.
In the space of a breath, a body formed of earth and stone coalesced hundreds of meters away from Lin Qiye.
Andre’s face was outlined, and he looked at Lin Qiye with furrowed brows, then slammed both palms on the ground!
The earth beneath Lin Qiye’s feet instantly melted into liquid, followed by thick, ferocious earth snakes rising up and attacking his physical body from different directions.
Lin Qiye’s golden eyes narrowed slightly, and his right foot stomped hard on the ground.
The next moment, his form rapidly expanded, instantly transforming into a sky-reaching black giant. Nine thick arms extended from his body, each grabbing at the earth snakes lunging toward him, with demonic energy surging like the sea around his body.
This was not Lin Qiye’s [Equal to Heaven Form], but another divine ability of Sun Wukong… the Seventy-Two Transformations.
The massive earth snakes swimming through the demonic energy were like loaches caught in the nine-armed giant’s grip. The giant’s arms bulged with veins as he crushed them into pieces.
Earth and stone scattered, the demon roared, and the black giant turned to look at Andre standing to the side, raising all nine hands simultaneously.
His fingertips curved slightly, interlocking, and nine completely different Buddhist mudras were formed in his hands at the same time.
In an instant, Buddhist chants echoed, and golden light flowed.
“What kind of monster is this…”
Sensing the violent and sacred energies achieving a delicate balance in Lin Qiye’s body, Andre’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but mutter.
With a tremendous sound, the ground beneath the black giant shattered, and its form instantly became a blur, flying toward Andre.
An unprecedented sense of mortal danger surged in Andre’s heart.
Gritting his teeth, he quickly raised his hands and pressed them against his eyes.
