The Statue Came to Life

In the blink of an eye, the main hall became empty, with only Master Yuanjue, Jiang Chenggu, and the newly awakened Black Buddha remaining.

"Master..."

Jiang Chenggu stared intently at Master Yuanjue.

"None of them will escape."

Yuanjue smiled confidently, and a beam of black light shot out from the Buddha Bead in his hand, landing on the Altar at the feet of the Black Buddha.

A layer of Black Mist suddenly rose from within the Black Lotus Pool.

Song Xi was the first to rush to the scene. When he saw the Black Mist reappearing over the lotus pond, his face turned ashen.

"Damn it, we've fallen for that thieving monk's trick!"

He cursed angrily.

Chen Changming's expression also darkened. There was an array within this Black Mist, and if one rashly entered, it would be easy to get trapped inside.

A series of sword lights flew in.

The numerous independent cultivators from Yellow Sprout Mountain stared at the Black Mist, their faces ashen.

"Damn it, this Yuanjue has cut off our retreat!"

A fierce look appeared on the man surnamed Huang's face as he slowly turned around and said, "Since that's the case, let's kill this thieving monk. What do you all think?"

"Kill!"

The numerous independent cultivators were united in their hatred of the enemy.

There were more than thirty of them, most of whom were at the advanced stage of Foundation Establishment, and seven or eight of them had the same cultivation level as Yuanjue. Therefore, they had a complete advantage in terms of numbers and combat strength.

Even if the Black Buddha awakens, so what?

How could a mere Buddha statue unleash the power of Golden Core cultivator?

Even if a Golden Core cultivator were to come, if so many of them fought to the death, they could tear off several pieces of flesh from the Golden Core cultivator and would definitely not let the opponent get away unscathed.

Yuanjue remained calm. Seeing that the rogue cultivators of Yellow Sprout Mountain had joined forces to deal with him, a beam of light suddenly flew out from the Buddha Bead in his hand and shot into the Altar.

Boom!

A series of booming sounds followed.

The entire earth began to tremble.

"What happened?"

A man looked around in alarm, trying to find the source of the tremor.

"Look, that Great Black Heaven War God has come back to life too."

One person shouted.

Everyone looked over immediately and saw that inside the front hall, the Great Black Heaven War God suddenly swayed, jumped down from the altar, and slowly walked out, holding Black Pestle.

At the same time, the Little Ghosts at his feet came to life, jumping and hopping behind him.

Inside the two side halls, the statues of gods also came to life.

They all descended from the altar, striding forward, their movements causing the ground to shake and rumble.

"These... all seem to be puppets."

The man surnamed Huang stared at the statues and carefully examined them.

"Kill them, and we'll have a chance to live."

An elderly man at the tenth level of Foundation Establishment said with a solemn expression.

These statues look bulky, yet they are incredibly tall, as if they contain boundless power.

"A desperate battle!"

The man surnamed Huang shouted and attacked the Great Black Heaven War God with a wave of his hand.

His treasure was a Red Fire Net, burning with raging flames, spreading across the sky and covering the earth.

Seeing the red fire net approaching, the Great Black Heaven War God suddenly bent his knees slightly, exerted force with his feet, and jumped up with incredible agility, dodging the fire net attack in an instant.

His face was cold and stern, and he wielded Black Pestle like an invincible war god, smashing it down on the crowd.

The black shadows of pestles fell in layers like mountains.

One after another, Flying Sword rushed forward to meet them.

Several sword cultivators made their move.

At this moment, the Little Ghosts also pounced over very nimbly, baring their teeth and claws.

Boom!

The Flying Sword joined forces to block the Black Pestle.

With a wave of his hand, Song Xi unleashed a series of sword beams, which struck several of the Little Ghosts.

These Little Ghosts were thrown out, and no one knew what material they were made of. Despite being attacked by the sharp sword light, they were completely unharmed and continued to pounce fiercely.

"Hmm, that sword light?"

Chen Changming's expression suddenly changed. He was captivated by Song Xi's move. It was so similar to his Spirit Finger Flick, except that the Spirit Finger Flick was of a lower grade and had limited power.

If he could learn Song Xi's move and enhance it, it would definitely become his ultimate weapon.

Suddenly, he also took a liking to Song Xi.

The melee had begun, and Chen Changming had no choice but to join the fight.

In the rear hall, the Black Buddha descended from the Altar.

"Kill everyone."

Master Yuanjue gave the order, his expression becoming increasingly stern.

At the same time, he waved the Black Buddha Beads repeatedly, and several more beams of black light entered the Black Buddha's body.

Within the Black Buddha's eyes, a mysterious power seemed to be slowly awakening, and the spiritual light gradually became brighter and more vivid.

Compared to the stiff-faced Great Black Heaven War God appears more lively and full of life. Under this spiritual influence, the Black Buddha seems to possess a life force that transcends that of a statue. Its eyes reveal an indescribable wisdom and profundity, as if it can see through all things in the world and understand every corner of people's hearts.

Black Buddha suddenly leaped up, transforming into a streak of black light that flew out and struck the chaotic battlefield.

Its arrival immediately intensified the battle.

"Master, this Black Flame Earth Buddha is truly the Black Buddha Sect's most powerful treasure, brimming with spiritual energy..."

Jiang Chenggu exclaimed in admiration.

"Good."

Master Yuanjue smiled, and said with some regret, "It's a pity that the time is still too short. I haven't yet learned the Black Buddha Sect's heritage contained within the Black Buddha's body, so I can't control it better."

"Kill these rogue cultivators, and you'll have some free time, Master."

Jiang Chenggu said dismissively.

His eyes were filled with disdain, as if he believed that once the Black Buddha appeared, he would be invincible, and the fate of these rogue cultivators from Yellow Sprout Mountain was already sealed.

Bang!

With the Geng-Gold Sword in hand, Chen Changming severed both arms of a Little Ghosts with a single strike.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, I'm here to help you." A series of sword lights struck, sending the Little Ghosts flying.

At the crucial moment, Song Xi made her attack.

At that moment, beams of black light shot out from the Black Buddha's palm, indiscriminately attacking the rogue cultivators of Yellow Sprout Mountain.

The scattered cultivators fought back with all their might.

Seeing the black light coming so fiercely that it seemed impossible to dodge, Song Xi used his Flying Sword to attack.

Boom!

The black light struck the Flying Sword, then penetrated it and slammed into the defensive shield on Song Xi's body.

Song Xi flew away.

Seeing the Buddha so fierce, comparable to the Black Buddha of the Holy Mother Wusheng, Chen Changming was also shocked. He had just dodged the attack of the black light, but Song Xi had not.

The Black Buddha's movements were unpredictable, shifting up and down in an instant, wreaking havoc in all directions.

Its physical body is strong and sturdy, with immense strength. It can unleash black light attacks from a distance and engage in close combat. Such terrifying combat power caused great casualties to the rogue cultivators of Yellow Sprout Mountain.

Chen Changming observed coldly and found that the battle had become one-sided. With the cooperation of the Black Buddha and the Great Black Heaven War God, as well as some other Statue Puppet, the rogue cultivators of Yellow Sprout Mountain had been routed.

At this critical moment of life and death, all the cultivators fought with their backs to the wall, risking their lives for each other. Many Little Ghosts were killed, and some statues were also injured, including the Great Black Heaven War God.

"That Fellow Daoist Ning is actually Body Cultivator? He's really hiding his abilities well..."

Standing at the entrance of the main hall, Master Yuanjue scanned the distant battle with his Divine Sense, his surprised gaze finally landing on the Foundation Establishment Level 4 cultivator with the lowest cultivation level among them.

These days, Dual Cultivation of Body and Dao is quite rare.

"It's alright, I'll go kill him."

Jiang Chenggu smiled calmly, volunteered, and flew off on his sword in a flash.
