Follow the path of Dao from infancy - Chapter 754: 148 Absorbing Extreme Dao, Semi-Saint Demons

Chapter 754: Chapter 148 Absorbing Extreme Dao, Semi-Saint Demons

At this moment, Zhao Qingshu looked somewhat disheveled, a hint of shock hidden in his eyes, but as soon as he stepped out of the spatial rift, he swiftly reined it in. He looked up at the Cloud Bell in the sky, where the magnificent corona marked the time.

According to his own silent count, despite some small discrepancies during the confrontation, it was roughly correct.

A quarter of an hour… Zhao Qingshu’s heart sank, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips. Only after entering did he realize how truly valuable, how utterly terrifying, a minute and a half from the Twin Buddha Child was.

Inside the Literary Saint Holy Land, the likes of Li Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Zhao Qingshu finally emerge, having feared some accident had befallen him. But with the Literary Saint present, even the Buddha Venerate of the Buddhist World would not dare to interfere, so there must be another reason.

“Zhao Qingshu, 16 minutes and 29 seconds!”

The Buddhist referee announced loudly.

…

The gap in time took everyone by surprise. Watching the performance of the Twin Buddha Child, who took merely a minute and a half, and considering Zhao Qingshu was also a Saint Heir famous within the Literary Saint Holy Land who once ventured alone into the Demon Domain, slaughtering over a dozen Demons of the Dao Law Realm and burning their corpses atop Shu Hai, and had even made a name for himself in Canglan.

Now, as time flew by and their cultivation grew ever stronger, who would have thought it would take him 16 minutes?

The disparity was a staggering sixteenfold!

If such a gap were to occur in a clash, it would lead to an unimaginable combat scenario.

Seeing Zhao Qingshu’s result, the Holy Lands, including the Sword Ancestor Holy Land and the scattered cultivators of the Divine Dynasty, all appeared gravely solemn.

They did not believe Zhao Qingshu to be too weak; after all, he was a Saint Heir and one of the top ten chosen through the competition within the Literary Saint Holy Land. Such a vast discrepancy could only mean that the Twin Buddha Child was too terrifying!

“Interesting, interesting…”

Chi Guang’s eyes shimmered, the fighting spirit within blazing like ferocious flames.

At this time, the third contestant went up and stepped into the spatial rift under the watchful eyes of all.

Time passed, this time even more slowly, looming around twenty minutes, before the spatial rift began to fluctuate, and he returned from within.

This individual was a Saint Heir from the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, not lacking in strength, but his face was currently filled with shock and displeasure.

Witnessing his performance, those who had previously doubted Zhao Qingshu’s time now recognized the terror of the Twin Buddha Child.

In an instant, many gazes converged on that young Buddha Child, impatient to see for themselves the capabilities of the Demon guarding the Spiritual Pearl within that spatial rift. No matter how strong, it could only be at the Dao Law Realm, right? These Saint Heirs were the elites of the Dao Law Realm, and finding a Dao Law Realm creature that could surpass them would be equivalent to encountering a top-tier Saint Demon!

Surely, they couldn’t have appointed a Semi-Saint as the guardian?

This thought left many with a chill of horror on their faces.

They quickly turned their gazes toward the supreme leader of the Buddhist sect, only to see various marvels surrounding him, bathed in dazzling Buddha light, making it impossible to fathom his thoughts.

At this point, the fourth, the fifth… Successively, more Heavenly Prides took their turn, venturing into the fleeting world of the Demon Domain within the spatial rift.

The times were mostly between 17 to 20 minutes.

Zhao Qingshu, who had gone before, was now looking slightly better. It was a relief that, compared to the monstrous Twin Buddha Child, he was far behind, but compared to others, he was quite alright.

Soon the scene buzzed again.

Emerging was Lin Shuhai from the Literary Saint Holy Land.

As the leading Heavenly Pride of this generation from the Literary Saint Holy Land, he held considerable fame and was closely watched by various forces. He was also a strong contender for the top three spots in the Pride of Heaven Battle.

“It’s Shuhai’s turn!”

“Does Brother Shuhai have a chance to surpass the Twin Buddha Child?”

“It’s hard to say; that Twin Buddha Child is just too monstrous.”

Eyes filled with anticipation and worry, Li Qingyi and the others felt even more nervous than if they were the ones going up.

Watching Lin Shuhai step forward, Chi Guang turned his head to look, his eyes narrowing.

Haoyue Saint Son’s eyes revealed a trace of cold intent. The others were too weak to serve as reference, but Lin Shuhai’s performance might provide some insight into just how formidable the Twin Buddha Child was.

Lin Shuhai’s expression remained calm, indifferent to the countless gazes upon him. Exuding a scholarly aura, he walked toward the spatial rift.

Everyone held their breath, waiting silently, unconsciously keeping time.

When the time passed 1 minute and 36 seconds, many sighed inwardly; indeed, the Twin Buddha Child stood out alone, too aberrant.

At 1 minute and 58 seconds, suddenly, the spatial rift quaked, and Lin Shuhai stepped out, appearing just as calm and composed as when he had entered, holding the silver-white Spiritual Pearl in his hand.

An uproar surged through the crowd, and everyone looked at him in shock. Although there was a gap between him and the Twin Buddha Child, it seemed not too wide!

A mere gap of less than 30 seconds could mean just taking a few extra detours.

Chi Guang’s eyes narrowed, and he rubbed his hands together, even more eager and impatient.

Lin Shuhai stepped out of the spatial rift, glanced at the Twin Buddha Child, but saw the other’s gaze vacant, looking at the distant clouds. Despite standing at the highest spot, capturing the attention of the entire field, he seemed to be lost in thought, oblivious, his mind elsewhere.

A slight smile curled at Lin Shuhai’s lips as he handed over the Spiritual Pearl to Buddha Venerate, before returning to his seat in the Literary Saint Holy Land.

“This Lin Shuhai, somewhat terrifying…”

Behind the Twin Buddha Child, other Buddhist disciples and Bodhisattvas looked toward him, their eyes filled with a particularly heavy weight.

Others might not know the terror of the Twin Buddha Child, but they did, yet Lin Shuhai managed to come close in time, suggesting that beneath that scholarly veneer, there likely lurked a monster as well!

As the excitement brought by Lin Shuhai subsided, others successively took the platform, with times returning to over ten minutes. Among them was Su Yun, whom Li Hao knew, with a time of 16 minutes and 21 seconds.
