Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 816

As soon as the Earth Legion appeared, it worked in tandem with the Metal Legion to offset the advantage of Feng Heng's Vajra Legion. Earth and Metal always had a synergy, so the Earth legion gave the Metal legion several blessings.

The first one was thick earth armor for defensive capabilities. The Metal Legion then infused Metal Elements into that armor to give it metallic properties and exponentially increased its defense.

Second, it's the endless stamina of the earth. The Metal Legion could recuperate its stamina by drawing energy from its surroundings.

As soon as these changes occurred, Zhen Biyu's troops regained the initiative in the battle. Their defensive capabilities surpassed the Vajra Legion, allowing them to use their opponent's tactic against them.

They ignored all defensive maneuvers and attacked the Vajra Legion like they had no fear of death; they were more relentless than an hungered animal after acquiring their first meal in months.

Sadly, this advantage did not last long. Feng Heng soon showed the world what the word Vajra meant. His troops' bodies suddenly crystalized and turned into diamonds, reversing the situation when it came to defensive advantage.

So, Zhen Biyu frowned as she watched these muscular diamond-like men slaughtering her troops.

'I really should have placed more emphasis on training these people,' she summarized. She no longer hesitated and summoned the remaining three legions: Water, Fire, and Wood.

As soon as they appeared, her soldiers formed an array. They knew they could not defeat their opponent in a direct confrontation. So, they chose to render them immobile.

The Wood Dao aspect of the formation activated, generating thousands of tree trunks in the surrounding space. The environment this battle took place was composed entirely of fire.

And since fire counters wood in the Five Element Theory, these woods should have been drastically reduced in size and strength. However, Zhen Biyu was a master of the five elements and would not make such a mistake.

Her array absorbed the fire energy in the environment to increase her strength, giving her the home advantage.

Feng Heng calmly looked at the change in the situation. Most of her Vajra Legion was captured by tree roots. Luckily, they were alive due to their scary defense.

Feng Heng remained calm as he waved his hand to summon another legion. As soon as these people appeared, they appeared odd since they did not look like soldiers.

They had no armor or the suffocating aura of people from the military. They wore yellow monk cassocks and looked like people who spent all their time reciting the sutra and debating the dharma.

And that was precisely the purpose of their existence.

This legion, composed of highly enlightened monks, was one of Feng Heng's most remarkable achievements in the revival of Buddhism.

These monks opened their mouths and the sound of chanting reverberated between heaven and earth. These words contained magical powers, affecting the surrounding.

Their first effect was to heal members of the Vajra Legion injured during the previous confrontation. This chant's power even saved the fallen soldiers' remnant souls.

The second effect was to bless the captured Vajra Legion. Immediately, these soldiers felt a mysterious power entering their minds and bodies; they felt their minds rejuvenated and a surge of power.

Immediately afterward, they tore apart these indestructible wood roots. And with their increased speed, they now could tear apart the wood faster than the latter could regenerate.

The last effect of the chanting was to affect the mind of Zhen Biyu's troops. The chanting contained a devastating temptation to the soul, rapidly making her legions sluggish as they wished to sleep and rest.

During this process, Feng Heng had a brilliant smile on his face. He could not remember the last time he displayed such a genuine smile. The sound of chanting woke up many memories sealed deep in his subconscious.

These memories were from when he was young, living during the reign of the Buddhist Sect. Every morning he would wake up from the sound of his fellow disciples chanting the sutra.

And when he first joined the monastery, he also had to learn and chant the sutra in the morning; this process was a form of enlightenment before beginning his cultivation journey.

'What a wonderful sight,' thought Feng Hengas, reminiscing. After the fall of Buddhism, all spells and abilities were unusable because of the Absolute Beginning Spell.

Over the years, Feng Heng has tried many methods to preserve the legacy of his seniors and masters. However, he began to despair as time passed. At many points, he even questioned the existence of Buddhism because of how much their techniques and spell failed to function.
