Dragon Sect Stone Cave!

A handicapped, old man was carved into a lone mountain. He held a broken banner in his hand and seemed really unassuming.

At the very least, this sculpture was not comparable to the other many majestic and exquisite stone caves around.

Heaven Heart arrived here.

There were dozens of branches within High Mountain Race and this was one of them. There were very few people around here, maybe only a few hundred of them who were living in the area.

This branch was called Cloud Banner!

The Cloud Banner people worshipped the High Mountain God but they were physically different from the other High Mountain Race people.

They weren’t that modern. Since they started worshipping the High Mountain God, they stuck to the rules and didn’t change anything.

This was also the reason why their numbers had reduced.

They locked themselves in and didn’t contact the outside world, shunning outsiders. They were totally different from the other High Mountain Race branches who started to modernize their lifestyles.

This was why they were slowly disappearing in the annals of history.

Long Mixu brought the others to someplace else while only Heaven Heart came to this place alone.

On the top of the lone mountain, which was the old man’s head, there was a temple that worshipped the High Mountain God.

Heaven Heart arrived here and didn’t hide his Dao Saint aura at all.

Hong!

The Dao Saint aura caused the entire group of people to tremble. They all retreated in fear and looked on in terror.

Heaven Heart didn’t think about attacking at all. There were only a few hundred of them and if he slapped down, he would be able to smack all of them to death.

He was not a monk who loved to kill.

“Intruder, why did you come to my High Mountain Race land?” A cold voice shouted out. It was from an elder in the hall.

This old man wore a black veil that covered his face and only revealed his eyes. He had been kneeling on the ground and worshipping the High Mountain God for the whole night.

Heaven Heart stepped forward, disregarding the people around him as he walked to the entrance.

“Stop!” The old man stared in rage.

“You are a heretic, so you aren’t allowed to enter the hall. Scram!” The old man scolded.

Heaven Heart found it weird and said, “So, I am a heretic just because I don’t worship your god?”

“Of course! The High Mountain God is supreme, he is the only god in the universe. If you don’t believe in him, then you are a heretic.” The old man said coldly.

But he didn’t attack as he too was worried about Heaven Heart’s Dao Realm cultivation.

“There are thousands of gods in this world. Even the Buddhist ancestor who I worship does not force others to believe in him.” Heaven Heart frowned.

This High Mountain God was just so overbearing!

Or rather this religion was just too much!

“This is the difference between my High Mountain God and the other fake gods. The High Mountain God is supreme, the only one in the universe, so of course, he is the only true god. Naturally, people who don’t believe in him are heretics.” The old man said fervently.

Heaven Heart laughed coldly and asked, “Do you believe that I would shatter your High Mountain God and destroy your hall?”

“How dare you!!!” The old man instantly exploded like a balloon that had been pricked. His eyes were opened wide in rage.

“Let’s see whether I dare to!” Heaven Heart scoffed coldly. He stepped forwards and a Domain appeared around him.

10,000 Buddhas chanting scriptures together sounded really mysterious. The sound was really loud and it suppressed all the other noise in the High Mountain God temple.

A saint light shone brightly in the temple.

This infuriated the old man and he hated Heaven Heart to the bone. He didn’t ask why the monk was here but just attacked him right away.

Hong!

A similar Domain appeared. In it was the supreme High Mountain God who held an artifact in his hand. He was really ferocious and attacked right away, eager to destroy Heaven Heart.

“My Buddhas are just chanting scriptures while your god wants to kill me right away. You are even worse than a demon from hell.” Heaven Heart said coldly.

“All heretics have to be killed. Killing a heretic and killing other nonbelievers is also helping the High Mountain God spread faith.” The old man was pumped up. He didn’t hide his intention to kill Heaven Heart.

At that point, Heaven Heart understood why this High Mountain Race had weakened to such an extent.

As long as a person didn’t believe in the High Mountain God, they were a heretic.

Heretics needed to be judged and removed. It would be a miracle if such a race could become powerful.

Hong!

In the Domain, the High Mountain God held an artifact, a giant banner. As he waved it, it gave off a terrifying, sinister aura. There were an endless number of skulls inside that wanted to swallow Heaven Heart up and strengthen themselves.

Was this the High Mountain God?

The god that the whole High Mountain Race worshipped?

As expected, gods are only able to guide. They are not be totally worshipped and trusted in, otherwise, one might easily lose themselves. Heaven Heart sighed in his heart.

He was a monk and believed in the Buddha. However, that was just out of respect and not fervent worship.

If he was blindly worshipping the Buddha, he wouldn’t have fallen into darkness and gone against the rules of Buddhism.

Heaven Heart was a monk who respected his own thoughts and feelings.

This was why he felt really uncomfortable looking at this High Mountain God. Such a demon-like god shouldn’t have even existed.

“Diamond Body Furious Eyes!”

Heaven Heart instantly became furious. His whole body shone gold as he used the Buddhist techniques. His body was filled with power as he lunged forwards with an elbow.

Dong!

Thousands of skulls were instantly shattered and turned to dust. The black mist around was scattered and the banner was flung aside. The High Mountain God also broke apart from the strike.

Heaven Heart went all out and was just so terrifying!

With just one strike, he defeated the High Mountain God.

He stepped forwards, causing the whole mountain to shake. The entire High Mountain Race God temple and the old man’s Domain became really unstable.

Ka ka ka!

The Domain started to crack and it stood no chance in this battle against Heaven Heart.

The old man was shocked and his faith was on the verge of falling apart.

His High Mountain God, the invincible High Mountain God… How could he be so weak?

In the past when he faced other Dao Saints, he was able to fight one against two and even survive one against three.

But now against Heaven Heart, he was unable to block a single strike. From just a single strike, his Domain had totally collapsed.

“That strike of mine carried with it the rage of the 18 disciples of Buddha. Although the Buddha often smiles, there are times when he is angry too. With the 18 disciples buffing me, you are no match for me at all.” Heaven Heart used his Domain to surround the old man.

He was a sheep waiting to be slaughtered!

“You… You destroyed my High Mountain God temple?” The old man panicked.

Heaven Heart ripped apart His Domain and now he fell into his Domain and was no match for Heaven Heart.

If they were to fight, he would definitely be killed.

Only

But more importantly, the temple had been destroyed!

“Give me the Blood Letting Blade!” Heaven Heart raised his hands and said coldly.

The surroundings were in a mess. The temple was destroyed and the statues inside were shattered by Heaven Heart’s aura. Everything was now in ruins.

At that moment, the old man seemed decades older and a deathly energy spread around his body.

His faith had collapsed!

The god who he believed in for his whole life had been dragged down from the altar, causing him to lose all his dignity. As a Dao Saint, without this faith, he was unable to continue on this path.

Heaven Heart suddenly didn’t feel like killing the man. He felt pity for him, placing his faith and hopes in others. Now that he had lost his High Mountain God, he had lost his purpose in life.
