Chapter 846
Golden Lotus’s heart was full of pride.
However, she never expected the indifference in Phoenix’s eyes to be so obvious as if she could read her frenzied thoughts. “It seems that you still haven’t slept with him for the 100 years since I left. But what makes me curious is, even after all this time, do you think he even remembers your name?”
Golden Lotus was stunned into silence.
Phoenix’s lips slowly curved into a gentle smile.
Golden Lotus bit her thin lips, then shook her head and let out a sigh. “Since you do not want to clear the Sea of Blood, there is still another option. The gift from the Eastern Sea has arrived. If you are willing to marry, you can stabilize the situation.”
“I will not get married.”
These two words stirred all the Buddhas’ anger.
Golden Lotus prepared to speak and inhaled a large mouthful of cold air. “Master, are you going to violate the Buddha’s order?”
As Golden Lotus finished her words, the Sanskrit resounded and sent echoes throughout Mountain Tenya. Each word punctuated the question she directed toward Phoenix.
The Buddhas did not bother to stop Golden Lotus, their top priority was to uphold Buddhism.
The Buddhas held their tongue, it was better for them to remain silent sometimes since the Phoenix’s Buddha seat was still in place. However, the situation was different now, it would be a sin if the Phoenix violated the command of Buddha. She would be subjected to waves of violent Thunder Tribulation.
The opportunity Golden Lotus had waited for had finally arrived, she seized the chance to suggest that Phoenix should marry.
Since she could not deal with this woman, let Heaven punish her instead!
That was the only fear of the ancient Phoenix!
Golden Lotus had already predicted that Phoenix would not refuse, however to her surprise, she did.
The woman who had never paid her any respect dared not speak again.
Golden Lotus’ mouth formed a gradual smile. “Master, you have always been intelligent. Since you have decided to get married, let the people around you begin the arrangements. I will personally help to prepare your marriage gown.”
Once these words left her mouth, Golden Lotus prepared to turn around and leave.
However, in the next second, an indolent drawl reached her ears, “What about obeying the Buddha’s order?”
Golden Lotus whipped her head around and saw Phoenix raising her eyebrows at her, her expression was full of mockery.
Golden Lotus clenched her fist. “Master, you should know better than anyone about the consequences of violating the Buddha’s order. Even if you managed to escape Heavenly Tribulation, your destiny will accompany you throughout your existence, so it is inevitable. You will eventually have to obey Buddha’s order and marry the Eastern Sea.”
“Oh, you’ve reminded me of something.” Phoenix’s lips lifted into a smile yet her face remained indifferent.
Golden Lotus looked at her in puzzlement.
Even the other Buddhas looked curiously at Phoenix.
In a flash, Phoenix held out her scythe and impaled her left shoulder!
Then, she proceeded to dig out every last Dharma Bone in her body through all the blood and gore!
The Buddhas let out a long gasp, their eyes bulged as they witnessed the scene!
When did she start to have such thoughts…
Despite being the center of attention, Phoenix simply gave a faint smile. Determination fueled the force behind her fingers. “As an immortal bird, I will be reborn even after millions of tribulations. Since this fate is fixed by Buddhism, then I will simply break my connection with this Buddha fate!”
Boom!
It seemed like something had collapsed from a corner of Mountain Tenya.
In the Leiyin Temple, the statue of the Great Lord of the Buddhas shattered.
At this moment, time slowed down, the seconds lagged by and fresh blood spurted from Phoenix’s shoulders as violent and unstoppable like a blazing flame, it made a beeline directly for the Buddhas!
In an instant, Golden Lotus’ complexion turned deathly pale!
Every Buddha knew that once the ancient Phoenix lashed out, there would be numerous injuries left in her wake.
However, they had never seen Phoenix act out in such an extreme manner, she was so indomitable!
“Previously, I was able to withstand a battle against a Buddha’s body. Now, if I can decimate the Buddha, I will never be the undertaker for the Buddhas again.” All of Phoenix’s fingers had been crushed, and blood dripped continuously from her arm toward the Buddha’s gate. She brandished her scythe and strode forward.
Golden Lotus was flung a few meters away and crashed violently to the ground. She oozed out the fresh metallic taste of blood in her mouth, “Phoenix, d-do you even know what you are doing?”
“Of course, I know, aren’t I killing Buddha?” Phoenix looked at her haughtily from above and gave a smile, “You are the one that does not understand, I’ve told you before that I would end you with a single strike if you appeared in front of me again.”
The unprecedented murderous aura that radiated from her made Golden Lotus retreat with difficulty. At this time, she could care less about her image, because she knew that if Phoenix was truly serious, she would be no match against her.
However, Golden Lotus had made a mistake. Phoenix had long passed the point of uncertainty and was ready to realize her killing intent.
Swish! Another swing of the blade fell upon her.
Golden Lotus’ expression grew pallid from shock and she reached out to beg the Buddhas for help.
The Buddhas also wanted to interfere but they had underestimated the power of Phoenix’s blood, it was so mighty that even the Hall of Great Strength was engulfed in flames!
Golden Lotus recollected herself and pleaded Phoenix for mercy. “Master, please think about it, if you kill me, you will truly betray the Buddha’s gate. It’s fine if you don’t want to marry, I can appeal to the Buddhas for you. Please, as long as you promise not to kill me, you can consider everything done!”
She was raised by Venerable for thousands of years before she could transform into a human.
She could never become a Buddha if the Sea of Blood had not been cleared, and the Sanskrit had not descended from Heaven.
All these events had been cultivated for the past millennium, she could not afford to fail at this stage for her lack of effort. She had yet to become a True Buddha, not to mention, to win the heart of that man.
She must not die!
Golden Lotus thought that the other party would reconsider her action because of this appeal.
Contrarily, Phoenix casually raised her scythe again. “What’s wrong with betraying the Buddha’s gate?”
At the same time, Phoenix’s melodious voice rang out in all directions from the void.
Countless swords fell on Golden Lotus’ body. She wanted to resist but found that her actions were powerless against the succinct words of the ancient Phoenix.
Ordinary weapons could never hurt Golden Lotus but Phoenix’s scythe could easily destroy her Buddha’s body!
Golden Lotus registered a faint moment of pain before she was sliced into countless pieces along with a thump.
Fresh blood was splashed right in front of the Buddhas’ eyes and stained the virtues of Buddhism.
Now, Phoenix could not escape Heavenly Tribulation.
To betray Buddha’s gate was a horrendous crime that deserved the most brutal punishment.
Violent thunder and fire descended on Mountain Tenya from above, all of them struck Phoenix’s body mercilessly.
The Buddhas did not have any malicious intentions, conversely, they wanted to save her.
The Heavenly Tribulation from the betrayal of Buddha’s Gate was torturous and no one could withstand it.
As a result, all the Buddhas converged to form the Light of Buddha and morphed into the Shield of Vajra. They blanketed each other and the little Shami, only Phoenix remained unshielded.
Boom!
The second clap of thunder resounded, Phoenix clutched at her shirt and coughed out a mouthful of blood.
She faintly glimpsed at the Venerable from atop Golden Lotus as he asked, “Do you really want to leave the Buddha Gate? Heavenly Tribulation of Thirty-Three Rolling Thunder, Phoenix, you won’t be able to stand it.”
In the face of Venerable’s question, Phoenix only laughed and uttered a single phrase, “Get out of my sight!”
Bang!
