It looked as though the two had only just arrived.

The Shengshou Scholar gazed at the white-robed youth's back and said respectfully, "Lord Demon Lord, if I am not mistaken, the Demon Buddha's disciple, the Dragon Elephant Wanderer, has been here before. I suspect this Buddha Statue is his handiwork."

"He holds an extraordinary status within the Red Profound Association and seems to have already reached the Tribulation Realm."

The white-robed youth spoke without turning around. "Stand back. Don't get caught in the aftershocks of the fight."

Fang Cheng was already stunned just hearing the name "Dragon Elephant Wanderer." To think he had also been to this place... No wonder he had left a Heritage Mansion behind beneath the Abyssal Marsh.

But what the Demon Lord's incarnation said was even more astonishing.

'What kind of aftershock could possibly harm the Shengshou Scholar?'

At this moment, the Shengshou Scholar dared not dally. He transformed into a ray of Demonic Light and retreated into the distance.

Then, the Buddha Statue began to crack, and a terrifying, heart-stopping tremor emanated throughout the Ninth Floor of the Earth Abyss.

A vast, boundless golden Buddha Light surged forth over the distant, pitch-black land and the Demon Lake.

From its high vantage point, hidden within the Endless Void, the Void God Gu could see everything within the Buddha Light perfectly.

After the Buddha Statue shattered, an impossibly colossal face began to rise slowly over the Demon Lake!

First came a topknot of flesh as large as a mountain peak. Then, a broad forehead and enormous, half-closed eyes rose into view.

This was followed by a high-bridged nose, large ears that hung to its shoulders, a drooping mustache, and thin lips...

The great Buddha rose from within the golden light, ascending ever higher until its head touched the crimson clouds blanketing the sky of the Ninth Floor of the Earth Abyss.

It was the face of a Buddha, its Dharma Aspect solemn and august, the corners of its mouth turned up in a slight smile.

It wore a heavy Kasaya draped to leave the right shoulder bare, over an inner tunic. The borders were exquisitely decorated with bands of linked pearls and honeysuckle patterns.

The great Buddha's body was powerful and well-built, exuding a magnificent aura. Though seated cross-legged, it was more imposing than a mountain!

The Buddha Light behind the giant Buddha formed into layered, concentric rings, like a great halo, dyeing the entirety of the Demon Realm-like Earth Abyss a brilliant gold.

All the lesser demons scattered and fled. The vast expanse above the Demon Lake was completely dominated by the Buddha Statue, instantly transforming the area into something like a Buddha's Pure Land.

Beneath the giant Buddha, the white-robed youth was like a tiny speck of dust.

Fang Cheng could only watch, overwhelmed by the sheer scale, majesty, and shock of it all.

'Who could have imagined that such an incredible power was hidden deep beneath the humble Yinluo Sect?'

'He himself had once stood before that very Buddha Statue, slaying countless Tier Three Demons...'

At this moment, the giant Buddha extended its hand, a massive Buddha's Hand that descended slowly toward the white-robed youth.

The white-robed youth's voice rang out in a powerful chant, "To slay the Divine Demons of the Nine Heavens above and extinguish the life of the Three Realms below! To transform into the vastness of heaven and earth, and embody the brilliance of the five elements! Now, receive my fist!"

His voice echoed through the Ninth Floor of the Earth Abyss, shaking heaven and earth.

He threw a punch, striking the center of the giant Buddha's Palm.

The giant Buddha's Hand froze in place!

A web of fine cracks spread out from the center of its palm, covering its entire body.

The terrifying aftershocks of their clash erupted instantly!

In an instant, all nine floors of the Earth Abyss began to collapse.

The earth quaked. The waters of the Abyssal Marsh churned as if boiling, throwing up tidal waves as high as mountains.

Yinluo Island itself fractured and collapsed amid the violent tremors, water pouring into the cracks as it slowly sank beneath the waves.

「Deep underground.」

Wrapped in a cloud of Void Divine Sand, the Void God Gu drifted through the Endless Void. Seeming both real and illusory, it observed the world-shattering battle from the sidelines.

Though the Shengshou Scholar had been prepared, he was still struck by the aftershocks, causing him to spit up blood with a wry smile.

The giant Buddha left behind by the Dragon Elephant Wanderer let out a single sigh before crumbling into endless Buddha Light, dissipating into the Earth Abyss.

The white-robed youth strode out over the Demon Lake, his gaze fixed on its depths.

He abruptly dropped to one knee and slammed a fist onto the lake's surface.

BOOM!

In a hundred-li radius, the lake water instantly vaporized and blasted outward, exposing the Grand Array below. A massive fissure had been torn through it.

Even a Fifth-rank Array could not withstand a single blow.

The white-robed youth slipped inside. Before him was a giant hand—fair-skinned and powerful, with long, slender fingers that possessed a strange, captivating beauty.

The entire hand was sealed within a massive, amber-like stone, frozen and motionless.

The white-robed youth reached out, gently touching the surface of the stone. A ray of Demonic Light surged from the hand within and fused with him.

His expression shifted slightly. "Scholar," he called.

The Shengshou Scholar flew over and bowed. "Lord Demon Lord, your orders?"

The white-robed youth smiled. "I am going to the Outer Void to break the seal on this hand and restore my cultivation. I'd rather not be cornered and suppressed by the Red Profound Association again. The journey will take sixty years at the quickest, a century at the most. In my absence, you will do two things for me."

"First, look after this disciple of mine."

As he spoke, billowing Demonic Qi surged from the void, pulling forth a man completely clad in black robes. The man had a pair of golden eyes that radiated a sinister aura.

'A Demon Fiend...'

The Shengshou Scholar recognized the black-robed man's identity at a glance.

"Second, find someone for me. This person carries great destiny. If he cannot be made to serve me, kill him."

Beside the white-robed youth, Demonic Light coalesced into the shape of a person.

It was the spitting image of Fang Cheng!
