My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Chapter 779: Chapter 227: So What If I Deceive You? (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

The Great Tang Emperor roared with fury, his hands swung fiercely.

As if lifting an incredibly heavy Mount Tai, he swept away the pitch-black long river before him and all around him.

The immense impact fell upon the rafters of the Yangxin Hall.

The roof of the Yangxin Hall was instantly breached, creating a large hole.

At the same time.

An invisible shockwave spread outwards instantly in all directions.

...

The sky darkened in an instant.

Outside of the Yangxin Hall, a group of guards, including Li Chengqian, Cheng Yaojin, and others, all turned slightly pale under this aura.

This force, even the aftershocks landing on them, would most likely kill them instantly.

There was absolutely no chance or strength to resist.

“Are we not all Earth Immortals, yet the disparity in strength is so vast?”

Cheng Yaojin, who had somehow regained consciousness, stared at the aftershocks above the sky, looking somewhat dazed.

Cheng Yaojin’s strength had also stepped into the realm of Earth Immortals.

But.

Cheng Yaojin found that although he was an Earth Immortal, he was not even as good as a common Sky-Man in front of Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, not even able to withstand a single breath’s time.

The realm of humanity’s Great Tang, even though it had begun to delve into the ways of cultivation and some had started practicing, still remained far from the Immortal Buddha.

Before, Cheng Yaojin didn’t understand what this distance really meant.

Nor did the Great Tang Emperor understand what the distance between Immortal Buddha and the mortal realm really was.

Was it just a disparity in cultivation realm?

If that were the case, just a disparity in cultivation levels,

The Great Tang Emperor felt that as long as he could enhance the strength of the Great Tang, they could compete with the Immortal Buddha.

But now.

Cheng Yaojin had suddenly come to understand, to some extent, the gap between Immortal Buddha and their own human realm.

It wasn’t just a disparity in cultivation strength…

Even with the same level of cultivation strength, they could not surpass the Immortal Buddha.

Not for any other reason,

But because of…

Heritage!

The dynasties of the mortal world change every hundred years.

And what about the Immortal Buddha?

They have always stood above the world of men, looking down upon it from their lofty heights!

For tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, there has been no change.

Just this point alone is something the Great Tang could never compete with.

In Cheng Yaojin’s eyes, besides shock, there was a complexity of emotions.

This man, who usually lacked worries, now rarely showed a pondering look.

He didn’t know if His Majesty’s schemes could succeed.

The previous attempt.

Had seen the Great Tang trampled by the Immortal Buddha.

If it weren’t for Master Xuanzang,

They would not be alive today.

The Great Tang Emperor would also not be alive today.

Having been given another chance, they wouldn’t be trampled by the two Buddhas that appeared out of nowhere before even getting a chance to try, would they?

Cheng Yaojin just thought about this, feeling very unwilling.

Not just for his own sake,

But also for the Great Tang Emperor.

“I won’t accept this!”

“Why should the Immortal Buddha be able to lord over my Great Tang, over ordinary mortals!”

Cheng Yaojin said this, intending to support his severely wounded body and help the Great Tang Emperor fend off the attack.

But before he could take a step, the fluctuations from the battle between Guangyin Buddha, Cleansing Thought Buddha, and the Great Tang Emperor pressed down on Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin’s body softened, and he collapsed directly to the ground.

Li Chengqian, standing by, watched the commotion of the Great Tang Emperor fighting with the two Buddhas and was already in a state of shock.

Suddenly at a loss for words.

Not knowing what else to say.

Noticing the movement of Cheng Yaojin beside him.

Li Chengqian’s face turned slightly grim.

How come Cheng Yaojin was kneeling down all of a sudden??

“Uncle Cheng, we should just watch,” he suggested.

“This sort of…”

“We can’t be of any help at all.”

Li Chengqian was right in his statement.

Not only could Cheng Yaojin not lend a hand, but none of the guards in the whole Tang Chang’an City could provide assistance to the Great Tang Emperor.

By the time one reached the Cultivation Realm of Guangyin Buddha, Cleansing Thought Buddha, and the Great Tang Emperor, ordinary people could no longer influence the outcome.

The commotion caused by the fight between Guangyin Buddha, Cleansing Thought Buddha, and the Great Tang Emperor was immense.

In but an instant,

the skies above Great Tang Chang’an City had darkened.

A sinister, inky aura shrouded the city’s heavens.

For Cheng Yaojin, Li Chengqian, and the rest of the Tang Imperial Guards, these strange auras were relatively tolerable – not too unsettling.

After all, they had encountered such auras countless years ago.

Since they were protected by the fortune of their dynasty, they had some resistance against these peculiar auras, with no excess fuss.

However, for the people of Great Tang, including Zhou Qingxu,

these strange auras, though previously encountered,

had never been so intensely pervasive.

Right now, from a distance, they could sense these overpowering odd auras without getting too close.

Dark emotions occasionally welled up in their hearts.

Some of the less spiritually powerful Tang people’s eyes started to show hints of blood-red amid their whites.

“These auras…”

Zhou Qingxu exclaimed, hastily crying out, “Everyone, clear your minds, try not to let yourselves be affected by the strange auras around you, suppress the emotions in your hearts!”

“Stay alert.”

Zhou Qingxu’s voice spread to the surroundings.

Reaching the ears of some less powerful Tang people, it was as if thunder had struck, helping many of them snap back to their senses.

As if awakening from a deep dream.

And they were immediately filled with dread.

Had they been controlled by those eerie auras just now and completely lost their reason, attacking those around them, they would have been cut down by their peers or utterly overtaken by the strange auras, causing a drastic change in personality.

After snapping back to reality, the people became even more cautious about the surrounding odd auras.

They dared not watch the struggle between Guangyin Buddha, Cleansing Thought Buddha, and the Great Tang Emperor any longer.

The noise of the conflict between Guangyin Buddha, Cleansing Thought Buddha, and the Great Tang Emperor traveled very far.

Even in the Capital city, thousands of miles away from Tang Chang’an City, people could perceive the commotion occurring there.

Inside the Great Zhou Imperial Palace,

members of Sects and Clans, including the Heavenly Mountain Palace, gathered, battered and bruised, murmuring uncertainly about something.

Suddenly,

as if sensing something, they all fell silent, turning to look in the direction of Tang Chang’an City.

“What is this aura?”

“Is that from Tang Chang’an City? What’s happening there? How can such a powerful aura emanate?”

“If we were to approach, wouldn’t we be crushed to death instantly??”

The powerful figures discussed among themselves.

But the Master of the Heavenly Mountain Palace, gazing in the direction of Tang Chang’an City and listening to the surrounding buzzing chatter, her eyes flickered.

She knew far more than the other strong figures.

She also knew that there was an especially powerful being inside Tang Chang’an City, whose mere consciousness, by reaching to her, would make her unable to breathe.

An extraordinarily formidable presence beyond her imagination.

The current calamity in Tang Chang’an City, could it possibly be that being causing the turmoil??

Could it have discovered that he was suppressed by the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir…

And taken action on its own??

Could it be seeking retribution on her for not having managed affairs well???

Thinking about this, the colors drained from the Master of the Heavenly Mountain Palace’s old face; her hands began to uncontrollably tremble from fear.

However.

She knew all too well that she was helpless.

The formidable being inside Tang Chang’an City, she had no way to deal with.

Neither could she cope with the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir.

She had failed to please either party.

And now she had offended both.

The Master of the Heavenly Mountain Palace just felt like crying.
