Chapter 315: The Siege of the God Hunters!
Maitreya Buddha emerged from the golden light, smiling as he looked at Su Fan.
"Thank you, Envoy of the Conferred Gods."
Su Fan bowed respectfully.
"I have met Maitreya Buddha."
Maitreya Buddha nodded.
He looked at the Yellow Emperor, then at the white bear behind Su Fan, and smiled.
"Good lad, you even picked up a follower on your trip."
Su Fan smiled too.
"Good luck."
Maitreya Buddha looked at the cracked statue and sighed.
"It is a pity that all my followers died in order to protect me."
Su Fan remained silent.
Maitreya Buddha patted him on the shoulder.
"Let's go. Take me back."
……
Wanjian Pavilion.
Su Fan led Maitreya Buddha and the white bear out of the teleportation array.
Jian Wudi is already waiting.
Upon seeing Su Fan, he went to greet him.
"Su Fan, you're back? And this is...?"
Su Fan explained.
"Maitreya Buddha. This is the White Bear, he'll be one of us from now on."
Jian Wudi was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed.
"Greetings to Maitreya Buddha. Welcome, Brother White Bear."
Maitreya Buddha nodded.
The polar bear returned the greeting with clasped hands.
Inside the main hall, all the gods had gathered.
The Great Emperor Ziwei, the Heavenly Venerable Taiyi who Saves from Suffering, the Goddess Houtu, the Thunder Lord, the Goddess Doumu, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, the Yan Emperor Shennong, Chiyou, the Medicine Buddha...
There are ten Dao Realm Level 3 cultivators, plus Maitreya Buddha, making eleven in total.
The polar bear stood behind Su Fan, its legs feeling a little weak.
With so many powerful figures around, any one of them could easily crush him.
Su Fan looked at the gods.
"Esteemed seniors, Maitreya Buddha has returned to his position. We now have another Dao Realm Level 3 expert."
The gods nodded.
The Ziwei Emperor spoke.
"Su Fan, what are your plans for the future?"
Su Fan thought for a moment.
"The information given by the Buddha also mentions Vajrapani Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva... There are many deities in Buddhism. But I want to hold off for now."
The Yellow Emperor looked at him.
"Take it easy? Why?"
Su Fan took a deep breath.
"I have a feeling the God Hunters are coming."
The gods' expressions changed.
Su Fan continued.
"The Sixth Elder has run away; he'll definitely go back to report. The First Elder of the God Hunters might already be on his way."
"Although we outnumber each other, our highest level is only the third level of the Dao Realm. The Grand Elder is at the sixth level of the Dao Realm, which is three levels lower. If we really fight, we might not be able to win."
The Ziwei Emperor remained silent.
He looked at the gods.
"Su Fan is right. We need to prepare."
Emperor Yan spoke.
"What preparations should we make?"
Emperor Ziwei thought for a moment.
"Set up the formation. The protective formation of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion needs to be reinforced. We also need to notify the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan."
Su Fan nodded.
"I will contact the Dragon Clan Chief and the Phoenix Clan Chief immediately."
three days later.
The Hall of Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, the main council hall.
The Dragon Clan Chief and the Phoenix Clan Chief have both arrived.
Behind them followed experts from their respective clans.
Ten cultivators at the third level of the Dao Realm from the Dragon Clan and ten cultivators at the third level of the Dao Realm from the Phoenix Clan also arrived.
Including the eleven Dao Realm Level 3 deities of China, there are a total of thirty-one Dao Realm Level 3 deities.
Such a lineup is enough to shake the heavens and myriad realms.
The dragon clan chief looked at Su Fan.
"Envoy of the Gods, are you sure the God Hunters will come?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Confirmed. The Sixth Elder has escaped, and he will definitely go back to report. Knowing the nature of the God Hunters, they won't let this go easily."
The Phoenix Clan Chief spoke.
"The Grand Elder is at the sixth level of the Dao Realm. We have thirty-one people at the third level of the Dao Realm. Can we defeat him?"
The Purple Emperor shook his head.
"We can't win. The difference between the sixth and third levels of the Dao Realm cannot be bridged by numbers. One sixth-level Dao Realm cultivator can easily crush a hundred third-level Dao Realm cultivators."
Everyone fell silent.
Su Fan looked at the Ziwei Emperor.
"Senior, what should we do?"
Emperor Ziwei thought for a moment.
"Set up a formation. Use the formation to trap him, then wear him down. As long as we can hold him off and make him give up, we've won."
The Yellow Emperor nodded.
"That's right. Although the Grand Elder of the God Hunters is strong, he was severely injured by the Buddha Tathagata back then and has not yet recovered. As long as we hold him off and aggravate his injuries, he will retreat on his own."
Su Fan's eyes lit up.
"Then let's set up the formation."
The Ziwei Emperor began making arrangements.
"The Dragon Clan excels at direct attacks and is responsible for frontal containment. The Phoenix Clan excels at speed and is responsible for flanking harassment. The Chinese gods excel at transformation and are responsible for the core of the formation."
"Su Fan, you will take the Investiture of the Gods and serve as the core of the formation."
Su Fan nodded.
"it is good."
Seven days later.
Above the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, a massive array slowly took shape.
The formation covered an area of thousands of miles, with countless runes flashing in the void.
This is the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array" jointly set up by the Ziwei Emperor and the Yellow Emperor.
The array is based on thirty-one Dao Realm Level 3 cultivators, with Su Fan and the Investiture of the Gods as its core.
Its power is so great that it can trap someone at the fifth level of the Dao Realm.
Whether or not they can trap someone at the sixth level of the Dao Realm depends on fate.
Su Fan stood at the core of the formation, looking at the illusory starry sky above his head.
He took a deep breath.
"Hopefully enough."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a terrifying wave emanated from afar.
A streak of blood-red light descended from the sky and landed outside the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.
Amidst the blood-red light, an old man dressed in a blood-red robe slowly emerged.
His aura was more than ten times stronger than that of the Sixth Elder.
The sixth level of the Dao Realm.
The Grand Elder of the God Hunters.
He looked at the Myriad Swords Pavilion and the enormous array, and smiled.
"The Celestial Star Array? Interesting. But it's far from enough to trap me."
He struck out with his palm.
Palm prints, as numerous as mountains, covered the sky and the earth, crashing towards the formation.
boom--!!!
The deafening roar shook the heavens.
The formation shook violently, but it did not break.
The Grand Elder raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? You've got some skill in this area."
He struck out with one palm after another.
Boom boom boom—
Each palm strike landed squarely on the formation.
The formation trembled violently, and the runes flickered erratically.
The thirty-one Dao Realm Level 3 cultivators who were in charge of the formation all turned pale.
Su Fan stood at the center of the formation, bearing the greatest pressure.
He gritted his teeth, unfolded the Investiture of the Gods, and 365 golden rays shot out to reinforce the formation.
The Grand Elder looked at the Investiture of the Gods, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.
"The Investiture of the Gods... a valuable item. Once I kill you, it will be mine."
He formed a hand seal, and his body surged with blood-red light.
A river of blood surged out from behind him, covering the sky and pressing down on the formation.
In the river of blood, countless wronged souls wailed.
That was the Blood River Technique he had perfected by killing countless people.
The river of blood crashed into the formation.
boom--!!!
The formation trembled violently, cracking open in numerous places.
Thirty-one cultivators at the third level of the Dao Realm simultaneously coughed up blood.
Su Fan also coughed up a mouthful of blood.
But he didn't fall.
He stared intently at the Grand Elder, desperately channeling the golden light of the Investiture of the Gods into the formation.
The elder looked at him and smiled.
"Interesting. Mid-stage Hunyuan realm, and you've managed to hold out until now. You're much stronger than that Seventh Elder."
"But that's all there is to it."
He struck out with his palm.
This palm strike was stronger than all the previous palm strikes combined.
Blood gushed forth, obscuring the sky and the sun.
The formation could no longer withstand the pressure.
boom--!!!
The formation shattered.
All thirty-one Dao Realm Level 3 cultivators were sent flying backward, crashing to the ground and coughing up blood.
Su Fan was also sent flying backward, crashing through three walls before finally coming to a stop.
He struggled to his feet, covered in blood.
The elder walked up to him and looked down at him.
"Envoy of the Gods, do you have any last words?"
Su Fan looked at him and smiled.
"have."
The Grand Elder raised an eyebrow.
"explain."
Su Fan opened his mouth and uttered a single word.
"burst."
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light suddenly shone from his body.
Amidst the golden light, a black stone flew out.
Fragments of Pangu's Axe.
The fragments shone with an unprecedented light.
Then, it exploded.
boom--!!!
A force capable of creating the world erupted.
That was the power of Pangu creating the world.
The Grand Elder's expression changed drastically.
He tried to hide, but he couldn't.
That force was too strong; it struck him directly.
puff-
The elder was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
A large hole was blown into his chest.
But he's not dead yet.
He struggled to his feet, looking at Su Fan with eyes full of resentment.
"You...you actually detonated the fragments of the Pangu Axe?!"
Su Fan lay on the ground and laughed.
"How was it? Was it good?"
The Grand Elder's face turned ashen.
He clutched his chest, turned, and ran.
He knew that if he didn't leave soon, he might really die here.
A streak of blood-red light shot into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.
Su Fan looked in the direction he disappeared and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, everything went black and he fainted.
three days later.
When Su Fan woke up, he found himself lying in bed.
Lin Qingge sat beside her, her eyes red.
When she saw him wake up, she rushed over and hugged him.
"You're finally awake..."
Su Fan patted her back.
"It's alright. I'm tough."
Lin Qingge looked up at him.
"Do you know you almost died? The explosion of the Pangu Axe fragments nearly killed you too!"
Su Fan smiled.
"But I didn't die."
Lin Qingge glared at him.
"Don't do that again next time."
Su Fan nodded.
"Okay. I won't do it again next time."
He sat up and stretched his limbs.
Although I still feel pain, I am fine now.
he asks.
"Where are the others?"
Lin Qingge said.
"They were all injured, but none seriously. The Dragon Clan Chief and the Phoenix Clan Chief have already returned, saying they need to strengthen their clan's defenses. The Chinese gods are all recuperating."
Su Fan nodded.
"That's good."
He stood up and walked out of the room.
All the gods were in the main hall.
When they saw Su Fan come out, they all stood up.
The Ziwei Emperor walked over.
"Su Fan, you're awake?"
Su Fan nodded.
"He's awake. The Grand Elder is gone?"
The Purple Star Emperor nodded.
"He's gone. He was severely injured by your explosion; it won't take him hundreds of years to recover."
Su Fan smiled.
"That's good."
The Yellow Emperor walked over.
"Su Fan, we owe you a lot this time. If you hadn't detonated the Pangu Axe fragments, we might all be done for."
Su Fan waved his hand.
"Don't say that. Everyone was risking their lives."
Emperor Yan smiled.
"Good lad, you haven't disgraced China."
Chi You also laughed.
"You're ruthless, kid. I like that."
