Chapter 98: The pages turned; the Book of Fate was indeed on Mount Ling.
"The pages are turning..."
The Six-Eared Macaque's expression changed drastically: "What was that sound?"
Dipankara Buddha smiled and said, "You're finished."
The Six-Eared Macaque turned to Chen Fan anxiously: "Strategist, what should we do?"
Chen Fan's eyes were icy as he stared into the depths of Mount Ling.
The sound of pages turning grew closer.
"What's there to be afraid of!" Chen Fan sneered. "One by one, I'll take them all on!"
Dipankara Buddha shook his head: "Chen Fan, so what if you win? Deep within Mount Ling, there lies something beyond your imagination."
Chen Fan did not answer.
He clenched his fist.
No matter what lies deep within Mount Ling, he will not back down!
"Six Ears," Chen Fan said.
"exist!"
"You just said that the Book of Fate is located on Mount Ling?"
The Six-Eared Macaque nodded: "Strategist, I sensed it. The aura of the Book of Fate is deep within Mount Ling, in the underground palace of the Great Thunderclap Temple."
Chen Fan's eyes flashed.
The Book of Fate is the fundamental record of the fate of all living beings.
If we could obtain it, we could truly break free from the control of Buddhism!
"Sun Wukong." Chen Fan looked to the side.
"I'm here!" Sun Wukong held his golden cudgel horizontally in front of his chest.
"You, Xuanzang, and Liu Er, come inside with me. The rest of you hold them off outside!"
"Okay!" Sun Wukong replied.
"Master," Chen Fan said, looking at Xuanzang.
Xuanzang understood and smiled slightly: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
The last time he came to Lingshan, he came to seek Buddhist scriptures.
This time is different.
He came to smash the Buddha!
"Walk!"
Chen Fan took the lead and charged towards the Great Thunder Temple.
Behind them, Sun Wukong, Xuanzang, and the Six-Eared Macaque followed closely.
Dipankara Buddha's expression changed drastically: "Trying to run? Chase after me!"
He flashed away and gave chase.
However, just as they set off, two figures blocked their way.
"Light the Lamp!" The Bull Demon King said, wielding his iron cudgel. "Your opponents are us."
Beside him, the Roc Demon King spread his golden wings: "Old man, you're not leaving today!"
The Ancient Buddha of Dipankara's eyes turned cold: "Just you?"
"You old fool, give it a try!" the Bull Demon King roared, slamming his iron cudgel down on his head.
Dipankara Buddha raised his hand, and golden light burst forth.
"boom!"
Three figures clashed together.
In the distance, the army was already pressing forward.
The Heavenly Court's reinforcements have arrived.
The soldiers of Huaguo Mountain went to meet them.
A great war has broken out!
At the same time, Chen Fan and his three companions rushed into the Great Thunderclap Temple.
The main hall was spacious, filled with Buddhist statues.
"Where is the Book of Fate?" Chen Fan asked.
The Six-Eared Macaque closed his eyes, sensed for a moment, and pointed behind him: "The underground palace! Go through the main hall and down through the side door!"
"Walk!"
The four people moved quickly.
Just as I reached the side gate, I bumped into a group of Arhats.
"How dare you!" the Arhats shouted. "This is sacred Buddhist grounds; trespassing is strictly prohibited!"
"Get lost!" Sun Wukong swept his golden cudgel across the room.
The Arhats were sent flying backwards.
The golden cudgel was unstoppable, its power unstoppable!
"Master, watch closely!" Sun Wukong turned around. "Today, your disciple will lead you to smash this sacred mountain!"
Xuanzang smiled and said, "Okay."
A golden lotus appeared in his hand.
"Today, I, as your teacher, will also guide and enlighten these Buddhas!"
Chen Fan observed this and nodded secretly.
Xuanzang has changed so much.
The pedantic Tang Sanzang of the past is no more.
The Xuanzang of today is a complete demon Buddha!
"We've arrived!" The Six-Eared Macaque stopped.
Before them stood a black stone gate.
The door was engraved with complex runes and exuded an eerie aura.
"This is the entrance to the underground palace," said the Six-Eared Macaque. "The Book of Fate and the Main Register are inside."
Chen Fan stepped forward and placed his palm on the stone door.
"open!"
The magic power is activated.
The stone gate remained completely still.
"Interesting." Chen Fan's eyes turned cold.
He took a step back and channeled all his magical power.
"break!"
The stone gate shattered.
The four rushed in.
The underground palace was very large and gloomy.
The walls are covered with ancient scripts, recording the fates of countless living beings.
Chen Fan glanced at it and was shocked.
The names on this list number in the hundreds of millions!
"The Book of Fate is over there!" The Six-Eared Macaque pointed into the depths.
At the very center, a large golden book floats.
The pages of the book moved on their own without any wind, making a "rustling" sound.
It is the Book of Destiny!
Chen Fan rushed over and grabbed him.
A burst of golden light erupted.
"It's done!" Chen Fan laughed.
But just then, a voice rang out.
"Chen Fan".
His voice was aged, yet contained boundless majesty.
"You've arrived."
Chen Fan looked up.
In the center of the main hall, the Buddha finally opened his eyes.
Eyes facing each other.
Time seemed to stand still.
"Did you know I was coming?" Chen Fan asked.
The Buddha said calmly, "Of course."
He slowly got up.
"Everything is predestined."
Chen Fan sneered: "Destined? Then I'll defy this fate!"
He gripped the Book of Fate tightly.
"Today, I will destroy this so-called fate!"
The Buddha's eyes were calm.
"You can give it a try."
Chen Fan stopped wasting words.
He channeled his magic into the Book of Fate, preparing to destroy it.
However, at that moment, the main tent of the Book of Fate suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light.
Chen Fan's expression changed drastically.
"not good!"
Golden light enveloped him.
His body was unable to move.
"Chen Fan!" Sun Wukong cried out in alarm, and swung his golden cudgel at Buddha.
The Buddha raised his hand.
The golden Buddha light transformed into a giant hand, slapping Sun Wukong away.
"Sun Wukong," Buddha spoke, "do you want to be imprisoned for another five hundred years?"
Sun Wukong gritted his teeth: "Buddha, today is your death day!"
He rushed forward again.
Xuanzang also moved.
The golden lotus floated behind him, emanating an aura of world-destroying destruction.
"Buddha," Xuanzang said calmly, "you guide sentient beings to enlightenment, yet you have never asked them whether they wish to be guided."
Buddha looked at Xuanzang, his eyes gleaming.
"Xuanzang, you've fallen into demonic possession."
"Becoming a demon?" Xuanzang laughed. "Buddha is demon, and demon is Buddha."
The line between Buddha and demon is thin; I only now understand this truth.
Golden lotuses bloomed behind him.
"Today, let this demonic Buddha have a go at you, Tathagata!"
The Buddha sighed.
"Enough, enough."
He put his hands together in prayer position.
"Then let's do it."
In an instant, the main hall was enveloped in golden light.
Chen Fan, on his side, was currently struggling with the main account of the Book of Fate.
The golden light continued to erode his soul.
He gritted his teeth and held on with all his might.
"Six Ears!" he shouted.
"Strategist! I'm here to help you!"
The Six-Eared Macaque rushed over and injected its magic power into Chen Fan's body.
Chen Fan's pressure has been greatly reduced.
"I'm taking the Book of Fate!"
He suddenly exerted his strength.
"Break it!"
A burst of golden light erupted.
The Book of Fate has completely fallen into Chen Fan's hands.
"Hahaha!" Chen Fan laughed loudly, "Buddha, your conspiracy has failed!"
The Buddha's gaze remained calm.
"Chen Fan, you think you've won?"
"Otherwise what?"
The Buddha did not answer.
He simply raised his hand slowly.
"Watch out!" the six-eared macaque suddenly shouted.
Chen Fan instinctively turned to the side.
A golden beam of light brushed past.
If it weren't for Liu Er's warning, he would be dead by now!
"That was close!" Chen Fan was sweating profusely.
The Buddha is too powerful.
That attack just now was something he couldn't possibly withstand with his current strength.
"Strategist, what should we do now?" the Six-Eared Macaque asked.
Chen Fan gritted his teeth.
"retreat!"
He knew he couldn't kill Buddha today.
The Book of Fate and the main register are in hand; that's enough.
"Walk!"
Sun Wukong and Xuanzang understood each other and made a feint to escape.
The four people quickly evacuated.
Buddha did not pursue them.
He simply watched Chen Fan's retreating figure, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.
"Chen Fan".
"Do you really think you've won?"
"This is just the beginning."
He closed his eyes again.
The main hall returned to calm.
Outside Ling Mountain.
Chen Fan and his three companions rushed out.
"Strategist!" The Bull Demon King and the Roc Demon King came forward.
"withdraw!"
The Huaguo Mountain army quickly withdrew.
Buddha did not pursue them.
This surprised Chen Fan.
But he didn't think much of it.
The Book of Fate and the Master Accounts are in hand; that's the most important thing!
"Back to Flower Fruit Mountain!"
The army withdrew in a grand and imposing manner.
On the way, Chen Fan flipped through the Book of Fate and the main register, becoming more and more alarmed as he read.
This record contains the fates of all living beings in the Three Realms.
Including him, including Sun Wukong, including everyone.
"Indeed a fine item." Chen Fan sneered. "With this, what will Buddhism use to control the Three Realms?"
Back to Flower Fruit Mountain.
Chen Fan immediately summoned the core members.
"We've obtained the Book of Fate and the main register," Chen Fan said. "Next, what we need to do is free everyone from the control of Buddhism!"
Sun Wukong asked excitedly, "Strategist, what's the next step?"
Chen Fan looked westward.
"Ling Mountain".
"Next time, we'll completely annihilate Buddhism!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Chen Fan clenched his fist.
Buddha, you wait!
This war has only just begun!
