“Great Sun Tathagata Palm!”
The Buddha’s child stepped forward, his left hand raised vertically against his chest, and his right hand gently pushed forward.
Hundreds of true Buddhist runes emerged from his palm, all radiating golden light, imbued with Buddhist intent.
After a few exchanges, Xuan Yi Zhenren had already understood the Buddha’s child’s strength. He dared not adopt a high and mighty stance as a reincarnated divine bridge, focusing all his attention and exerting his full power.
“Buzz!”
A white bead appeared, landing in Xuan Yi Zhenren’s palm. This was a top-tier sacred weapon that had accompanied him in battles across the land, drinking the blood of many powerful figures.
The Extreme Moon Pearl, an ultimate sacred weapon, could be used for both offense and defense.
This item was refined from a star, its weight immeasurable.
Xuan Yi Zhenren was currently only at the Body Fusion stage, unable to unleash the full power of the Extreme Moon Pearl. However, as its master, he could use it without suffering any backlash.
“Go!”
He threw the Extreme Moon Pearl, directly smashing it towards the Buddha’s child.
“Boom…”
The force of the Buddha’s child’s palm was instantly shattered by the Extreme Moon Pearl.
Immediately, the Extreme Moon Pearl, unstoppable, reached the domain of the boundless Buddha light.
The Buddha light could not slow its speed, and the Buddhist runes cracked upon contact.
Sensing danger, the Buddha’s child clasped his hands together and murmured, “Om Mani Padme Hum…”
A wave of Buddha light surged from his body, spreading outwards and forming a giant golden transparent palm. The Buddha’s child stood in the center, the palm facing Xuan Yi Zhenren.
“Clang—”
In the next moment, the Extreme Moon Pearl collided with the giant palm, producing a metallic clash that continued without stopping.
The giant palm slightly caved in, even showing a few cracks.
The Buddha’s child remained as steady as a mountain, causing the Extreme Moon Pearl’s momentum to slow and hover in front of him.
At this moment, Xuan Yi Zhenren wouldn’t stop. He seized the opportunity to press the attack.
He transformed into a streak of mysterious light, pointing at the Extreme Moon Pearl, channeling all his Spiritual Qi to make it erupt with terrifying pressure once more.
“Boom!”
The cracks on the giant palm multiplied, and a few strands of pressure seeped through, landing on the Buddha’s child.
“Rip…”
The Buddha’s robe tore, and a few blood marks appeared on his body.
Though injured, the Buddha’s child remained calm, still chanting softly.
“Break!”
Xuan Yi Zhenren exerted all his strength, shouting in a low voice.
After a moment of stalemate, the giant palm could no longer withstand the Extreme Moon Pearl’s assault and shattered.
In an instant, the Extreme Moon Pearl surged with overwhelming power, about to fall upon the Buddha’s child.
The onlookers tensed up, holding their breath, afraid to miss any critical moment.
At this instant, everyone thought the Buddha’s child was doomed, about to be defeated.
A group of Mahayana cultivators showed joy. If they won this battle, they had a great chance of obtaining the Emperor’s weapon fragment, or at least a strand of the Emperor’s Mark.
“Donor, do you believe in Buddha?”
Suddenly, the Buddha’s child looked at Xuan Yi Zhenren and the approaching Extreme Moon Pearl with calm eyes, speaking slowly.
“Zheng Zheng Zheng—”
At the same time, the Extreme Moon Pearl bizarrely stopped advancing, trembling violently as if controlled by some force.
Xuan Yi Zhenren’s expression changed, his heart shocked. This was his life-bound sacred weapon, how could it show signs of being out of control?
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
Soon, golden light appeared in every corner of the battlefield, revealing shadows of Buddha’s golden light.
Hundreds of golden Buddha and Bodhisattva statues appeared, sitting facing west, their Buddhist authority filling the sky, golden light boundless.
“Donor, do you believe in Buddha?”
“Donor…”
This question echoed in Xuan Yi Zhenren’s ears, lingering for a long time.
Xuan Yi Zhenren closed his hearing, but the voice resounded in his heart. No matter what methods he used, he could hear the soul-stirring Buddhist chant.
The more he resisted, the more painful it became.
Helpless, Xuan Yi Zhenren could only answer, “Hypocritical thing, I do not believe.”
Upon hearing this, the Buddha’s child revealed a barely noticeable smile.
“I shall send the donor to meet the Buddha, and the donor will believe.”
With that, the hundred Buddha shadows radiated dazzling golden light, their endless pressure causing the Extreme Moon Pearl to halt in mid-air, unable to harm the Buddha’s child at all.
If Xuan Yi Zhenren had answered that he believed in Buddha, he would have had to show respect, lowering his momentum, making it difficult to fight the Buddha’s child.
If he didn’t believe, the hundred Buddha shadows would converge and suppress him.
Not my follower, and an enemy, my power cannot convert him, so let the Buddha transcend him!
What I need to do is send this donor to meet the Buddha.
“This guy… something’s wrong.”
Xuan Yi Zhenren had survived life-and-death tribulations in his past life, barely living a second life, envied by countless Dao friends. At this moment, he sensed a familiar smell, the scent of death, his soul trembling inexplicably.
He had survived such dangers in his past life, he wouldn’t fall at the hands of a young monk in this life!
Thinking of this, Xuan Yi Zhenren felt a trace of retreat.
Unfortunately, the battlefield barrier sealed this void, leaving Xuan Yi Zhenren nowhere to escape.
As for admitting defeat, that would be too humiliating for Xuan Yi Zhenren. After all, he was a reincarnated divine bridge, with many old friends watching.
“Heaven Sealing Seal!”
Xuan Yi Zhenren’s movements were grand, forming a series of seals, finally pushing forward with both hands.
“Swish—”
A mysterious seal resembling a jade seal, square and like a small star, smashed down on the Buddha’s child’s head.
The Buddha’s child merely raised his hand, easily blocking the force of the technique, not even taking a step back, effortlessly.
“This…”
Xuan Yi Zhenren was shocked, incredulous.
“Namo Amitabha.”
A circular Buddha light hung high, the power of the hundred Buddha shadows converging into the Buddha’s child’s right palm.
With a push of his palm, the hundred Buddha shadows mirrored his action.
The boundless Buddha light covered every corner of the battlefield.
Xuan Yi Zhenren wanted to recall the Extreme Moon Pearl, but the overwhelming Buddhist authority halted it, preventing him from regaining control in a short time.
In front of him, countless mysterious lights gathered, forcing him to defend head-on.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
One after another, the mysterious light barriers shattered, all collapsing within a few breaths.
Xuan Yi Zhenren never expected such a situation, his blood flowing backward due to the Buddha light’s power, greatly slowing his ability to mobilize his Spiritual Qi, unable to quickly perform supernatural powers.
“Boom!”
In an instant, the space where Xuan Yi Zhenren stood exploded, revealing a black hole, surrounded by shattered space fragments.
Xuan Yi Zhenren’s body was torn apart, his blood scattered by the golden light, turning into nothingness.
His soul left his body, panic-stricken.
At this moment, Xuan Yi Zhenren lost his initial arrogance, his voice filled with fear of death, “I surrender! I surrender!”
“Swish—”
At the same moment Xuan Yi Zhenren admitted defeat, the Buddha’s child had already acted.
The Buddhist authority swept through, directly purifying Xuan Yi Zhenren’s soul, presumably already meeting the Buddha.
“Donor, you spoke too late.”
The Buddha’s child murmured to himself.
The outcome of this battle was unexpected by many.
At first, both sides fought fiercely, but later, the Buddha’s child exerted his full strength, winning overwhelmingly. Even the old men of the Kunlun Realm didn’t react in time, their faces showing shock, eyes wide open.
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
This starry sky was extremely silent, from the divine bridge realm beings to the younger generation of cultivators, all eyes were on the Buddha’s child, watching him bathe in Buddha light, dumbfounded.
Slowly, their expressions began to change, from shock, fear, and awe to disbelief.
