Buddha Appears for the First Time, Terrifying Lan Lengshuang (V)

Was it all about to end here...

Ye Chen stared despairingly at the layer of ice above him and weakly reached out an arm.

Lan Lengshuang was not far from Ye Chen, already unconscious.

As time passed second by second, the two oxygen-starved people had reached their limits.

Just then, Ye Chen's back touched the seafloor.

Ye Chen, who had already given up, instantly opened his eyes.

Under the enormous pressure of the sea, he pressed his palms together.

A seed fell into the depths of the seafloor.

A Buddha statue burst from the earth.

Countless streams of seawater cascaded down its body.

The True Thousand Hands that broke through the ice were like a celestial god descending to earth, half its body in the sea and half above the surface.

As for its several thousand arms, there was no need to mention them. If the True Thousand Hands stood five hundred meters tall, then its arms were at least a thousand meters long!

Ye Chen grabbed Lan Lengshuang's arm with one hand while gripping the Buddha statue's ear tightly with the other.

He placed Lan Lengshuang on top of the True Thousand Hands' head and immediately began CPR.

Seeing that CPR had no effect, he went straight to mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

As Lan Lengshuang vomited out all the seawater in her chest, she finally woke up.

The first thing she did upon waking was touch her lips.

Lan Lengshuang wasn't stupid; she knew how to rescue someone who had drowned...

First CPR... then mouth-to-mouth... Who could withstand that~

But Ye Chen hadn't noticed any of this. Instead, he immediately transferred some of the Spiritual Power within his body to Lan Lengshuang.

"Thank goodness you didn't die... If you had died, wouldn't your dad have come after me with his life on the line!"

Ye Chen knelt before Lan Lengshuang, panting as he spoke.

Then he leaned backward, sprawled flat on his back with his arms and legs spread wide.

"I thought I was going to die..."

Lan Lengshuang spoke of her narrow escape from death and lay down on the Wooden Human's head just like Ye Chen.

"Ahhhhhhh! What is this?!"

The moment Lan Lengshuang lay down, her eyes instantly caught sight of the several thousand wooden arms.

Lan Lengshuang's sudden scream startled Ye Chen. "What happened?!"

Lan Lengshuang pointed toward the arms. "Look at that..."

Ye Chen looked in the direction Lan Lengshuang was pointing and was rendered utterly speechless.

"Why don't you first look at what we're sitting on right now..."

Only then did Lan Lengshuang react to what Ye Chen had said.

That's right. They had been underwater the whole time, so how had such a vast stretch of land suddenly appeared...

The instant Lan Lengshuang leaned over and looked down, her mind went completely blank.

Her face turned deathly pale. "Ye Chen... What... what is this..."

Ye Chen didn't explain. He sat cross-legged atop the Wooden Human's head, his palms pressed together.

He controlled the Great Buddha and moved it toward the Portal.

When the enormous True Thousand Hands moved, even the hundred-meter-long giant whale from earlier was frightened into fleeing.

On the system interface, countless points jumped wildly. Every fish, shrimp, and crab was directly crushed to death by the True Thousand Hands!

Lan Lengshuang was already speechless, staring fixedly at Ye Chen.

"So this is your true strength?!"

Ye Chen shrugged. "Now that you've discovered it, what can I do?"

Lan Lengshuang stepped forward and kicked Ye Chen. "You bastard! With strength like that, you kept scaring me all the time!"

"Ow, my dear great niece, I'm being wronged here! This whole place is glaciers. Without any land or soil, what was I supposed to use to activate my Wood Element talent?!" Ye Chen rolled his eyes.

Lan Lengshuang looked as though she understood, yet didn't. "Is that how it is..."

"I blamed you by mistake... I'm sorry..."

Ye Chen didn't care about Lan Lengshuang kicking him. He had merely suddenly remembered something.

He warned Lan Lengshuang, "By the way, you can't tell anyone about my true strength!"

"Why?" Lan Lengshuang asked curiously.

Ye Chen didn't know how to answer. He couldn't exactly say, I want to scare Old Zhang to death or something like that...

But after Lan Lengshuang filled in the blanks herself, she said, "I know! You want to play the pig to eat the tiger! Fine, I'll keep it secret for you!"

Ye Chen smiled helplessly and nodded. As long as he managed to bluff his way through, that was all that mattered.

Before long, the Secret Realm Key in Ye Chen's pocket began emitting an icy-blue light.

Ye Chen was suddenly delighted. "We've found the exit!"

Ye Chen injected Spiritual Power into the Secret Realm Key, and the vanished Portal appeared once more.

Ye Chen controlled one of the True Thousand Hands' arms and sent the two of them before the Portal.

This journey through the Secret Realm had truly been hard to put into words.

Ye Chen looked back at the boundless glaciers and the Great Buddha he had used for the first time.

"Ugh, next time, even if you beat me to death, I won't come to this godforsaken place again!"

"Hehe, you're right. I'm not coming again either."

The two exchanged a glance and walked out through the Portal.

At the same time, Ye Chen dispelled his immortal art. Without the energy from Ye Chen's immortal art sustaining it, the True Thousand Hands also vanished into the sea.

The moment Ye Chen emerged from the Secret Realm, his vision went black, and he collapsed.

Lan Lengshuang was shocked and immediately caught Ye Chen, allowing him to lie on top of her.

She slowly crouched down and placed Ye Chen's head on her lap.

The next second, the Westwind Lion King appeared beside Ye Chen.

"Hm? What happened to Little Ye?"

Lan Lengshuang smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing. He might just be a little tired..."

"Don't tell me this kid used that thing again?" the Westwind Lion King asked with a strange expression.

"...Little Westwind, you knew?!" Lan Lengshuang asked curiously, her eyes widening.

The Westwind Lion King looked around and then spoke mysteriously.

"Before this, that kid stood on the Wooden Human and chased Dong Shizhang for most of the day..."

Lan Lengshuang's mouth fell open, but she soon returned to her calm composure.

"That's true. Even someone in the Myriad Stars Realm would have to run from a Buddha a thousand meters tall."

"What thousand-meter-tall Buddha? Wasn't it a hundred meters tall?" The Westwind Lion King instantly went dumbfounded.

"The Wooden Human you mentioned should be the one sitting cross-legged atop the Great Buddha's head. It isn't even one-tenth as tall as the Great Buddha." Lan Lengshuang answered proudly, as though seeing something the Lion King hadn't was an incredible achievement.

The Westwind Lion King was about to ask for more details when Zhang Daosheng and Lan Batian had already arrived.

"What happened to Ye Chen..." Zhang Daosheng was greatly alarmed when he saw Ye Chen unconscious.

Lan Batian's eyes, meanwhile, were filled with fury. "Well, well, you little brat! You actually dared to use my precious daughter's leg as a pillow!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and slapped Ye Chen across the face, trying to wake him.

"Dad! I'm going to be angry!"

With those words, Lan Batian's heart instantly softened...

"...I was wrong, sweetheart. Don't be angry~ I won't hit him anymore..."

Everyone turned to stone...

Even the Westwind Lion King found it hard to look at. This man... was beyond saving... He was definitely a daughter-obsessed fool!

"Dad, prepare a room for Ye Chen and let him rest properly. If it hadn't been for him this time... I don't even know how many times I would have died..." Lan Lengshuang looked at Ye Chen tenderly.

Lan Batian felt as though his whole world had fallen apart, as if something had been stolen from him.

With a mournful face, he went to prepare a room for Ye Chen, muttering as he went, "Ye Chen, you damn mutt, I told you to protect my daughter, not woo her!"
