Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 450 Final Battle
The skeleton remained silent, but simply strode forward.

Shi Dakai just watched and smiled until the last person walked into the crack, then he looked up at the sky.

He was in a world after the collapse of the world, so naturally he couldn't see the sky of the mortal realm.

But he still smiled, as if he could see the golden radiance, and just kept smiling.

the other side.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the boundless wilderness.

The golden body of the Water Heaven Buddha tore through the sky, its ten-thousand-foot-tall form falling straight to the ground, even causing the entire world to tremble.

However, He did not stop at all, but strode forward with a rumbling sound, heading straight for the place where Zhou You was.

Normally, with his physical body, it would only take him a few minutes to get to the temple on the other side of the world, which would be more than enough time to crush the little bug—however, at that moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his leg.

At first, he didn't want to pay attention, after all, the situation was urgent, and besides, given his physical condition, he wouldn't care about such a small amount of harm, but...
The pain was like a bone-deep abscess; instead of lessening, it became increasingly intense and even began to penetrate deep into the bone marrow!
Even without intelligence, instinct still subconsciously wants to resist.

—Even the combined efforts of gods and Buddhas didn't reach this level. What could possibly cause me this much pain?
He lowered his head and looked down, and after a moment, he recognized the attacker.

Those were skeletons, one after another, burning in the raging flames.

The skull itself is nothing special; it's just a pile of rubble on the verge of destruction, yet not quite destroyed. But what's unusual is the thing that surrounds it.
That's karmic fire, karmic fire that even gods and Buddhas avoid!
—Yehenara clan, you're a complete liability!

The roars grew louder and louder, and the golden body extended its mountain-like hands, swatting away the skeletons as if swatting mosquitoes, but in the blink of an eye, even more clung to it.

They didn't do anything special; they just grabbed with their hands and bit with their teeth, yet they managed to force the endless flames into His body.

Of course, although it hurts, it can't harm his core. Even this boundless karmic fire is nothing more than a minor ailment to a true Buddha—not to mention that His original form was the Buddha of Water and Heaven, who was naturally able to control this thing.

but now.

But this insignificant thing somehow managed to stop him in his tracks.

At last.

Even Buddha eventually became angry.

The Buddhist scriptures, personally transmitted by the Heavenly Demon, resounded, their pure yet strange tones echoing throughout the wilderness. The skeletons twisted and distorted within the scriptures, quickly crumbling, exploding, and finally vanishing into nothingness.

Soon, three-tenths of the skeletons were gone, but just when the golden body thought it was about to escape these annoying flies.

A sigh suddenly came.

Suddenly, a crack appeared out of thin air in the wilderness, and a wisp of mist drifted out from it, instantly transforming into the likeness of Shi Dakai.

He looked up at the Buddha, who was higher than the sky, and then shook his head.

"This is the second time I've seen you. The first time, you crushed us all like ants and threw us into that bottomless abyss. But this time, we will never fail again."

After that, there were no more words. Shi Dakai simply and calmly, yet resolutely, merged into those skeletons.

then.

The next moment, just like in the Forbidden City before, all the flames converged.

Then, it suddenly exploded!

Its power was so great that it blew off nearly half of the golden body's lower leg—although the colonies and growths continued to multiply rapidly, trying to reconnect the broken section, the karmic fire raged and turned all efforts into specks of black ash.

Under normal circumstances, the golden statue could have stopped and extinguished the flames, but now...
Those ants in the temple will never give him that time!
The wound on his chest was deepening; clearly, the ant was gradually touching his very core—

Admittedly, even if He dies here, He can be resurrected through the Black Snow, but each rebirth will cause His status to drop by one level.

Who would be willing to pay such a price unless they were forced into a desperate situation?
Thus, the Water Heaven Buddha could only drag his broken leg, moving step by step, while his roars grew more intense, trying to get his offspring—those evil spirits—to return to the Dharma realm and come here to support him.

Otherwise.

After shouting for a long time, He was surprised to find that...

Yes, there was a response.

But
Why didn't anyone come?!
-
Outside Beijing.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, even with his composure, Yuan Chengwen felt an urge to burst into tears for a moment.

"Uncle Feng, what brings you here? And those people behind you—"

Feng Zhengye's attitude was lukewarm.

"It's nothing, just a sudden idea to ask the Empress Dowager for an explanation. I originally only gathered the best people from my Feng family, but then we ran into the Eight Great Families, so we all came together."

After saying these words, Feng Zhengye did not wait for Yuan Chengwen's response, but instead raised his head and looked at the battlefield not far away.

"That young man Zhou really gave me a big surprise. So, what do you need us to do next?"

Looking at those renowned experts from all over the world—this time, the Eight Great Families and the Feng Family had practically gone bankrupt to provide support—Yuan Chengwen quickly composed himself and said through gritted teeth.

“Mr. Zhou… no, Master Zhou only gave one order.”

"—That means doing everything in our power to hold off these evil spirits for a while, and absolutely not letting them move!"

"I see."

Feng Zhengye nodded, then spoke to the sea of ​​heads behind him.

"You have already heard what happened. I, Feng, am just a merchant and don't know much about the intricacies of this matter. However, I can at least make a promise here."

"After this battle, regardless of success or failure, those who survive can receive a hundred taels of gold from me or the Eight Great Families. Those who have made contributions will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold. If we can help that young Brother Zhou succeed, I am willing to give him half of the Feng family's assets!"

Moments later, as news of the bounty spread, cheers resounded throughout the battlefield, and with the arrival of fresh troops, the chaotic footsteps were abruptly halted!
Within the Dharma Realm.

The golden statue roared for a long time, but still received no help. So it could only grit its teeth, drag its crippled leg, and move towards the Buddhist temple.

Although they suffered a sneak attack and their chaos was stalled, they still held the advantage.
He is still with Him.

Regardless, He is a golden statue of Buddha.

Regardless of the circumstances, he was once the Namo Shui Tian Buddha.

In any case, he was once a powerful protector of the Pure Land, holding sway over a region!
How could a mere ant possibly cause such a commotion?

As they approached, the numerous dark stupas came into view.

Ever since.

He revealed a sinister smile.

Inside the temple, the presence of the Yehenara clan had vanished without a trace.

Got killed?

It doesn't matter. I've already been born, so I don't need anything else to drive me. It's just about turning the whole world into a garden and ensuring the Qing Dynasty's continued existence. Once the foundation is secured, this can be done easily.

just.

What should we do with that ant?
Should we throw him into the flames of karma, so that he can wail for ten thousand years without finding release, or should we send him to the demon realm, so that some powerful being can personally corrupt him?

But in any case, at least...
Evil thoughts began to fester in his heart, and his mind, devoid of intelligence, surprisingly began to contemplate—

At any other time, He would probably be overjoyed—given the scene just now, it means that He has transcended the realm of remains, generated His own spiritual awareness, and taken another step towards becoming a celestial demon.

But now
He just wanted to torture this ant that had caused him so much trouble.

The Water Buddha reached out and lifted the roof of the main hall—

Things did indeed happen at the wrong time. The ant did not strike the source.

Even more so.
That's strange, what's he doing there?
In the eyes of the Water Buddha, the ant was not standing beside the lotus platform, but was holding a sword and just looking at him.

Did they knowingly give up because they were in a hopeless situation?

However, before it could figure it out, the ant had already raised its head, as if it were saying something to the sky.

—At this point, what else could he possibly ask for help with?

However, suddenly.

Suddenly, Jin Shen felt his body tilt violently to one side.

Within the illusory realm of Lingshan.

The monk was burned to ashes, leaving only a few remnants.

However, like Shi Dakai, he was still laughing, laughing heartily.

“Shui Tian, ​​when Mount Ling was destroyed, I couldn’t save you, nor could I save all of this, but at least now, I can give you a release.”

"The liberation from this demonic influence and suffering."

"You don't need to thank me, after all, I'm yours—"

Before he could finish speaking, the last bit of ashes had already burned away.

At the same time, the lotus platform, which could be considered a Buddhist treasure, also withered away piece by piece, and then...
A huge hole was simultaneously opened up in Mount Ling and the Dharma Realm!
Shui Tianfo watched helplessly as a huge gash appeared beneath him, his body involuntarily tilting to the side—

From within the cave entrance, countless hands stretched outwards, and countless spirits chattered and shouted.

As a Buddha, He naturally knew what this was.

Wan Yuan.

The legendary place of no return, where even gods and Buddhas who fall into it will be forever trapped and never be able to escape!
Is this what these guys are after?

—But that's impossible. A mere ninth-grade Pure Land Lotus Platform, even with the Bodhisattva who was scattered, cannot directly connect to one's own Dharma Realm and link it to the myriad abysses.

unless
Shui Tianfo raised his head, wanting to roar out that name, but all the words that came out of his mouth turned into incoherent roars.

In the end, He could only watch helplessly as He sank downwards, falling into that bottomless abyss.
-
Judging from this situation, the plan seems to have succeeded.

However, inside the Buddhist temple, Zhou You's brows furrowed even more deeply.

—Not enough time.

The Water Buddha's body was so enormous and the opening so thin that it sank very slowly.

He was indeed just a golden body, and he didn't have any way to fly or teleport, but at this speed, even if the cave entrance disappeared, the Abyss would at most swallow half of his body.

If not all of them can be included, then we'll revert to the problem mentioned earlier.

He can be reborn from the black snow at any time. Even if his vitality is greatly damaged, after losing the support of Shi Dakai and the monk, there will be nothing in this world that can stop him.

so
What should I do now?
But just as Zhou You was frowning and anxious as an ant on a hot pan, a glib voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"My disciple, you're in trouble now, aren't you?"

master?

No, how did you send it?

Zhou You searched his body for a long time before finally finding the source of the sound—it was the book that Old Man Li had given him at the very beginning.

At this moment, Old Man Li was slowly transmitting his voice through this device.

"I knew it! What did that storyteller say? The savior always appears at the end. Looks like it's time for me to make my move."

Zhou You paused for a few seconds, then spoke seriously.

"Master, do you have any ideas?"

Old Man Li chuckled.

"It's nothing. You should know that before Wanyuan collapsed, it belonged to the Underworld. And isn't expanding the Underworld's anus our White Sect's specialty?"

Inside the Forbidden City.

Old Li chuckled as he tossed down the paper figure, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Although he appeared nonchalant, to be honest, his current state is far from good.

The chanting just now cost him at least three years of his lifespan, plus the exhaustion from fighting all the way, and the struggle to stay afloat in the power of the Water and Heaven Buddha.
He is now like a candle that is about to burn out; the slightest breeze will extinguish it instantly.

However, he still dusted himself off and, with the last bit of strength, stood up.

The woman next to him, Hua Niangzi, changed her expression drastically. Although she was also seriously injured, she struggled to stand in front of him and stretched out her hands to stop him.

"Xiang Ming, what are you trying to do! You'll die if you keep going like this!"

Old Li laughed, seemingly unconcerned.

“Junior sister, you know me. This grudge has haunted me for over a decade. Although I know that the old Buddha is just an obsession, this golden body can be considered the real deal. Now is the perfect time to settle things.”

However, Lady Hua continued to glare at him, refusing to budge an inch.

In his current state, Old Man Li could have easily pushed him away, but he patiently explained.

"Besides, that kid is, after all, a member of my White Sect. In the end, it's me, his master, who has to clean up his messes."

The other party still did not move.

Finally, Old Man Li could only sigh and say.

"I'm talking to you, junior sister."

"What are you doing!"

"This time, I'm begging you, senior brother, please?"

"."

After hesitating for a long time, Lady Hua finally stepped back.

Old Man Li picked up the soul-summoning banner and looked through the paper figure at the struggling Water Buddha.

"Ha, I never imagined that after living most of my life, at this age, I, Old Man Li, would actually be involved in burying a Buddha statue."

As he spoke, his body suddenly straightened up slowly.

If Zhou You were here, he would be extremely astonished.

Originally, his master was just an old man less than 1.6 meters tall, with a sleazy face. But after his hunched back stretched out, he actually grew to be about 1.8 meters tall.

At the same time, the wrinkles on his face smoothed out, revealing a firm and solemn expression.

—Perhaps this is what Old Man Li truly looks like.

He once commanded the entire Nine Streams Alliance, vanquishing demons and monsters with unparalleled success.
Leader of the Righteous Path!
