Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 715: Clash against the Saint

The Saints who withstand ten thousand calamities, in this world, among all beings, is there anyone who wouldn't be moved?

...

Putting aside what Jiang Liu was thinking, on the other hand, Kunpeng's eyes were filled with a determined look as he stared intently at Maitreya Buddha.

Having already scanned Yuanling with his Divine Sense, Kunpeng knew the Hongmeng Purple Qi wasn't on him.

Naturally, it must have ended up in the hands of Maitreya Buddha, right?

"This is bad..."

Though, for Maitreya Buddha, hearing about the Hongmeng Purple Qi was indeed good news, seeing Kunpeng's gaze fixed on him made Maitreya Buddha's heart skip a beat.

One knows oneself best; he had kept Yuanling by his side solely because Yuanling's body was that of the Ancient Great God, Ancestor Hongyun and he was attracted by his talent. He himself knew nothing about the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

He hadn't obtained it, but Kunpeng believed he had—could this be easily explained?

Realizing that Yuanling's body was that of the Ancient Great God, Ancestor Hongyun, Maitreya Buddha suddenly had an epiphany.

He remembered the time in the Purple Bamboo Forest when he was able to control the Tribulation Clouds.

The legend went that Ancestor Hongyun was the transformation of the very first cloud in the world and being the progenitor of all clouds, the fact that Yuanling could control the Tribulation Clouds seemed reasonable, right?

"Alright, I've said what needed to be said, now hand over the Hongmeng Purple Qi!" Once finished speaking, Kunpeng's gaze landed on Maitreya Buddha—no more nonsense, he directly asked.

"Actually, I just learned from your mouth that Yuanling's body is that of Ancestor Hongyun, and only then did I realize that the clue to the Hongmeng Purple Qi is not in my hands!"

Whether Kunpeng truly believed him or not, the truth was the truth, and Maitreya Buddha felt compelled to clarify.

"If you really won't let go even in death! Then I will find a way to make you speak!" Kunpeng said calmly.

As he spoke, he reached out his hand toward Maitreya Buddha to grab him.

Putting oneself in another's shoes, if one had the Hongmeng Purple Qi in their grasp, they too would never let it go, right?

So it was within reason for Maitreya Buddha to have such a reaction.

Watching Kunpeng reach out to him, Maitreya Buddha felt an injustice too profound for words.

He wanted to resist, but being spent to his last arrow's flight, even having had one of his arms severed, how could he possibly resist?

Swiftly, Kunpeng grabbed Maitreya Buddha and his overwhelming demonic power instantly swept through his entire body, rendering him immobile.

Meanwhile, turning his head, his gaze fell on Yuanling again as he grabbed him.

With a bound, Kunpeng then revealed his true form, transforming into a colossal bird.

Both his talons grasped Yuanling and Maitreya Buddha, flapping violently as he flew into the distance.

Boom!

However, just as Kunpeng had grasped both and began flying away, suddenly, a brilliant light appeared out of the void.

This dazzling light quickly morphed into a Treasure Banner, blocking Kunpeng's path, its immense presence filling the air and bringing Kunpeng to an abrupt halt mid-flight.

"The Jieyin Treasure Banner!?"

Seeing the Treasure Banner blocking his way, Kunpeng's pupils contracted slightly, and he cried out in astonishment.

As for Maitreya Buddha, who Kunpeng was holding, the sight of the Jieyin Treasure Banner filled his face with joyful surprise.

He knew that the Sage Sect Master had personally taken action to save him.

Gazing at the Jieyin Treasure Banner that blocked his path, Kunpeng took a deep breath, his eyes filled with solemnity.

After hesitating for a moment, his massive claws loosened, releasing both Maitreya Buddha and Yuanling.

"Hmph..."

As Kunpeng loosened his claws and Maitreya Buddha regained his freedom, a smug chuckle echoed in his heart.

So what if Kunpeng has a great reputation and high Cultivation Level? When facing the Sage Sect Master, he still has to bow his head obediently, doesn't he?

Indeed, he didn't dare make a move and decisively released me, at least he knows the score.

"Jieyin!"

Yet, after releasing Maitreya Buddha and Yuanling, Kunpeng didn't intend to flee in a sorry state. Instead, his gaze became sharp, firmly fixed on the Jieyin Treasure Banner before him, and his voice was very shrill.

"Always saying that without attaining saintliness, one is merely an ant, I admit that I'm no match for you. But your true form cannot appear in this world, and you think just by using a Jieyin Treasure Banner, you want me to retreat knowing the difficulty? I want to try and see just how big the gap is between me and you saints!"

In Kunpeng's mouth, the voice was extremely shrill, and at the same time, very resolute as he shouted loudly at the Jieyin Treasure Banner before him.

"He, he actually dares to make a move against the Sage Sect Master!?" Maitreya Buddha, who had been full of smugness, was stunned upon hearing Kunpeng's words.

Saints, lofty and inviolable beings, yet Kunpeng dares to challenge the Sage Sect Master? How audacious is that!? Isn't this too insane?

Even if it is only his Dharma Treasure present in this world, the power of a Saint is still not something that he can withstand, right?

"The Saint, he's actually going to strike at a Saint? What courage!" Jiang Liu, of course, also witnessed what was happening. Watching Kunpeng confront the Jieyin Treasure Banner, he was shocked as well.

But upon further thought, Jiang Liu felt that maybe Kunpeng really could try to make a move?

Kunpeng's level had reached 100 Max Level blue, and if we are to speak of it, isn't it completely reasonable to say that he is one of the strongest individuals below the Saints?

And on the other hand? Although Jieyin is a Venerable Sage, after all, he cannot truly descend in divine form, having only sent one Dharma Treasure instead.

Might it be possible, controlling a Dharma Treasure from afar, that Kunpeng really does have the strength to fight?

Amidst his astonishment, Jiang Liu was also secretly looking forward to seeing the outcome, curiously watching the situation unfold.

It also seemed like a good opportunity to gauge the extent of a Saint's power, didn't it?

Regardless of what Jiang Liu and Maitreya Buddha were thinking, Kunpeng was fully rallying his spirit and energy in the face of the Jieyin Treasure Banner.

If it were something else, even if you lent Kunpeng a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to challenge a Saint.

But for the sake of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he absolutely could not give up!

He believed his own strength was not bad, nearly the most powerful existence below the Saints, and Jieyin had only sent a Treasure Banner, perhaps he could withstand it?

With such thoughts flashing through his mind, Kunpeng, with a sink-or-swim determination, summoned all his strength.

Then, his pair of massive wings shook violently, instantly stirring up a terrible storm.

Next, Kunpeng's enormous figure burst into dazzling light as he fiercely charged toward the Jieyin Treasure Banner in midair!

At this moment, both Maitreya Buddha and Jiang Liu were seriously watching this scene unfold.

With his Cultivation Level nearly at the Quasi-Saint Peak, could he successfully withstand a confrontation with a Saint's Dharma Treasure?

Boom!

The power of the Quasi-Saint Peak, without any fancy tricks, fiercely collided with the Jieyin Treasure Banner. The intense vibration made the whole world tremble.

The four great continents shook violently with the impact.

Not to mention the Mortal World, even the Heavenly Court and the Underworld felt distinct tremors.

In Eastern Shengshen State, the waters of the Eastern Sea lifted into hundred-foot tsunamis, inundating countless peoples' homes.

In South Zhanbu State, the ground shook, countless commoners' houses collapsed, leaving them homeless.

In West Niuhe State, the heavens and earth changed color, the sun and moon lost their light, hurricanes and thunderstorms raged as if signaling the end of the world.

In North Julu State, volcanoes erupted, the ground split open, resembling Mortal Purgatory.

This moment violently shook the entire Mortal World.

In the Heavenly Court, the Lingxiao Hall, the entire hall also shook violently, causing many Immortal Gods to stagger and even fall to the ground.

Even the teacup in the hands of the Great Jade Emperor fell to the floor.

Within the Underworld, the entire realm trembled violently. Many Yin Gods and Ghost Messengers lay on the ground, trembling, while countless resentful spirits and ghosts screamed in horror.

In short, because of Kunpeng's full-force collision with the Jieyin Treasure Banner, the entire Three Realms were violently shaken.
