I Truly Am The Villian

As the bone spurs came crashing down again, the Tongming Observer no longer had time to dodge.

He could only brace himself for the punch; the bone spurs were incredibly sharp, piercing right through his body’s aura of Buddha-light.

They penetrated the flesh of his body.

The Evil Ancestor laughed wildly.

Seeing this scene, the Tongming Observer’s brow furrowed slightly.

The flow of Buddha-light around his body grew even stronger.

Behind him, the True Fate Emergence revealed a Buddha figure that faintly materialized.

This Buddha figure represented all forms of life; it was not limited to any single person or object.

When you looked at it, it was as if you were looking at yourself.

Whatever kind of person you were, that was the scene you would see.

The moment the all-life Buddha figure appeared, there was a "boom."

The Buddha-light enveloped the Evil Ancestor completely.

The Buddha figure slowly extended its hand, pinching the Evil Ancestor in its palm.

With boundless might, it clenched fiercely. Another "boom" sounded.

Just as it looked like the Evil Ancestor would be annihilated, a surge of black Spiritual Energy violently rose.

The black Spiritual Energy led the Evil Ancestor to break through the blockade of the Buddha-light, and he hastily escaped to one side.

"Damn you, vermin, how dare you harm me," roared the Evil Ancestor furiously.

As he spoke, the malevolent aura around him surged violently.

The True Fate behind him also manifested, a colossal shadow with feet planted in heaven and earth appeared behind him.

The moment this figure appeared, it seemed to carry the murmurs and calls of the ancient past.

Endless filth tainted the entire firmament.

People looked closely and saw that this figure was a complete monster.

Its two horns atop its head were a bloody red, and its flesh and skin were bound together.

Its mouth bore two fangs as sharp as those of a vampire.

Both its feet and the nails on its hands were very long.

Or rather, they could no longer be considered nails but were more akin to razor-sharp claws.

The moment this monster appeared, a tremendous power surged.

The Evil Ancestor seemed to be overwhelmed with rage, no longer in the mood to toy with the Tongming Observer.

With a roar, the monster behind him stretched out its claws, making a beeline for the Buddha Monk.

The Buddha Monk was not to be outdone, summoning boundless gusts as he struck down with his hand.

A "boom," and the sound of an explosion covered the whole sky.

The Buddha Monk stepped back, while the monster remained unmoved.

"I will tear you to pieces bit by bit," the Evil Ancestor shouted loudly, as the True Fate monster behind him lunged forward.

As its claws came down, those two sharp fangs also snapped forward.

Immense Immortal Might surged across the sky.

The winds rose, the clouds roiled, and heavenly might was vast.

After a long battle, the Buddha Monk was now somewhat disheveled.

The Buddha-light around him had dimmed significantly, and his body bore countless wounds.

Seeing this scene, the people of the Buddha Country were nearly in tears.

"Ancestor, go. Don’t worry about us," shouted Taike Vasalaka, dragging his wounded body.

He knew that although the Tongming Observer might not be a match for the Evil Ancestor, if he wanted to leave, the opponent couldn’t stop him.

...

After another fierce battle, the Tongming Observer was barely hanging on, struggling to cope.

He lifted his head, his gaze neither happy nor sad, as if he didn’t feel his grievously wounded body at all.

"Before all of you, I will tear your ancestor to pieces," the Evil Ancestor laughed heartily.

"This feeling is truly wonderful!"

Looking down at all the disciples of the Buddha Country, the Tongming Observer said indifferently,

"Take all of them and leave. I’ll hold him off."

"Ancestor," the people of the Buddha Country shook their heads and shouted.

"This is our duty," the Tongming Observer fell silent for a moment and finally said:

"After you return, close the temple gates and never reenter the secular world."

Hearing the words of the Tongming Observer, everyone fell silent.

"I hate that I am not strong enough."

Taike Vasalaka slammed his fist onto the floor, roaring in grief.

"King, what should we do?" an elder of Buddha Country asked nearby.

"Go back," Taike Vasalaka said after a brief silence, finally speaking.

"But our ancestor, he..." the elder hesitated.

"Do you want our ancestor’s sacrifice to be in vain?" Taike Vasalaka retorted.

"Once we return, I will relinquish my position as king.

From then on, I will conceal myself from the world forever."

The battle high in the sky was over in an instant, the body of the Tongming Observer already shattered to pieces.

With yet another attack from the Evil Ancestor.

There was a "crack," and the Buddha figure of the Tongming Observer was completely destroyed.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze still as calm as water, seemingly unafraid of the impending death.

...…

The people of Buddha Country supported each other as they left through the gates of Wuhua Temple.

Before leaving, they took one last deep look at their ancestor.

Wu Qianjun, standing nearby, stopped those disciples who wanted to rush forward.

When the crowd from Buddha Country reached the temple gate, they suddenly heard a very noisy and excited voice from outside.

"Is this the place?"

"It should be, I heard that the battle of the World Venerables is happening here inside Wuhua Temple."

"Then let’s hurry and see, maybe we can still help the World Venerable."

"Right, if the opponent is too strong, we can at least add to our numbers."

...…

With the voices falling one after another, the great doors of Wuhua Temple opened.

A group of ordinary people rushed into Wuhua Temple.

These ordinary people had just entered Wuhua Temple and saw Taike Vasalaka and his group at the doorway.

"Everyone, come over here, the World Venerables are all here."

With a chorus of calls, the ordinary people surrounded Taike Vasalaka and his group.

"World Venerable, how goes the battle?"

"Are you all unharmed?"

...…

"Are all these our believers?" Taike Vasalaka asked the elder beside him.

"Yes, World Venerable, we are all believers of Buddha Country, we have come to help you," an ordinary person shouted loudly.

"I’m sorry everyone, we have been defeated," Taike Vasalaka said frankly.

"From now on Buddha Country will close, and we will seal the mountain and vanish from the world.

The Buddha Ancestor you worship will no longer be able to help anyone.

ÖI only hope that you will continue to be kindhearted.

Even without the presence of the Buddha, I believe you can do it."

"World Venerable, we are just ordinary people, we don’t have the power to help you," someone shouted, tears brimming in their eyes.

"In the past, we worshiped Buddha statues, praying and hoping that the World Venerables could help us.

Every time we faced difficulties, the World Venerables would appear in time.

This time we are not praying for anything else, not for ourselves.

We are praying only for the World Venerables, praying that you can safely survive."

At this moment, tens of thousands of believers kneeling down on the hillside.

With hands clasped together, they looked up at the battle above, praying devoutly.

...…

What is a Buddha?

Do you build a temple?

Wear a kasaya?

Shave your head?

Chant "Amitabha" and you are Buddha?

There have always been too many false Buddhas in this world.
