Chapter 285: You

Inside the small world.

The battle between Three Burial Fozhi and Nan Gong Ya can be called the pinnacle of excellence.

Whether it is Nan Gong Ya's flowing light Divine Power, or Three Burial Fozhi's Buddhist law, both have already surpassed the scope of the legendary Second Realm.

If it were not for Bai Li Ming unveiling the Daoist supreme Divine Power "One Qi Transforms Three Purities", this battle would be worthy of being called the champion‑seizing battle.

Even so, it is still shocking.

On the highest Yun Tai.

The Guardians laugh repeatedly, genuinely delighted.

"This cohort, geniuses abound!"

"Bai Li Ming, Lin Chuan, Nan Gong Ya, Three Burial Fozhi, have surpassed many previous champions."

"Even Kun Shiqi, Mo Sha, etc., who fell among the losers, are equally strong; perhaps in previous cohorts they could have claimed the champion's seat."

Geniuses abound, proving this is a golden great era.

Perhaps since the ancient era, new strong ones are about to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

The Guardians no longer dwell on Nan Gong Ya's transformation.

Who hasn't hidden something yet?

Among those entering the fifth round, except for one Bai Miao Miao, the other five geniuses all displayed performances beyond expectations.

In this situation, Nan Gong Ya's performance appears much more reasonable.

"Now we're only missing Lin Chuan."

"What tricks is he still hiding?"

The Guardians are rather curious.

"Does he still need to hide?"

A Guardian chuckles: "Just the Burial Spirit Domain he wields already holds endless potential; compare that to the mysterious great power and you'll understand."

"As long as he can control it, even when facing Bai Li Ming employing One Qi Transforms Three Purities, victory may still be possible."

One Qi Transforms Three Purities is indeed the supreme Daoist Divine Power.

But this realm is still far from reaching its limit; purely in terms of expressive power, Lin Chuan's Burial Spirit Domain is certainly not weaker than One Qi Transforms Three Purities.

"Look, both are nearly exhausted; perhaps it's time to decide the winner."

A voice draws the Guardians' attention back to the battle inside the small world.

"Shall we decide the winner now?"

In the small world, Three Burial Fozhi's monk robe is blood‑stained, his Physical Body brushed repeatedly by flowing light, revealing stark white bones.

Nan Gong Ya's posture is not elegant at all.

Her long skirt is torn, and her snow‑white skin cannot be concealed.

Having fought to this point, even clothing is too lazy to transmute, proving that power is nearly depleted; every remaining ounce will decide the outcome.

"Patron, the evil nature on you grows heavier."

Three Burial Fozhi still wears a playful demeanor, "Do you need this humble monk to guide you through transformation?"

"Transformation? Aren't you, lecherous monk, afraid of descending into Di Yu?"

Nan Gong Ya looks disgusted.

"I will not enter Di Yu; who else will?"

Three Burial Fozhi presses both palms together and closes his eyes.

Behind him, a massive Dharma Image manifests, a terrifying Dharma Image of deep violet, almost black.

The lotus beneath it is not Merit golden light, but forged from stark white bones.

A Buddha from Di Yu?

In Fo Men there is a legend of the Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva, who stabilizes Di Yu with his body, possessing the ability to become an Immortal ancestor yet never leaving Di Yu.

He once swore: as long as Di Yu is not empty, he will not become a Buddha.

No one knows whether the recorded Di Yu Buddha is real or not, but the power Three Burial Fozhi displays now is undeniably terrifying.

"Finally forced Nan Gong Ya to her limit?"

On the Yun Tai, Lin Chuan watches the scene intently.

He can see that Nan Gong Ya is at the end of her strength; without a breakthrough power, she will be defeated by Three Burial Fozhi.

Even if Nan Gong Ya's combat talent is strong, there is no time for her to deduce a method to counter Three Burial's Divine Power from the battle traces.

"So you share the stench with that Lin Chuan, disgusting."

Nan Gong Ya grits her teeth.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Her heart pounds wildly, faster and faster, her soul roars as if about to be torn apart by something.

In the deepest part of the Sea of Consciousness, a speck of black flashes and vanishes.

Nan Gong Ya's aura quickly wanes, then moments later climbs step by step, becoming ever stronger, even surpassing her previous peak.

Behind her, the green flowing light transforms into a tree.

Nan Gong Ya sits beneath the tree, the life source continuously pours into her body.

This is a manifested omen!

"How could this be!"

At the highest Yun Tai, the Guardians all stand up, utterly stunned.

Especially the Guardian from Bi Luo Yuan, who is completely stunned.

The Divine Power she cultivates, also from Bi Luo Yuan, is the hereditary "Nine-Colored Divine Light", a Divine Power with limitless potential.

Since it can serve as the foundation of a super power, it's naturally not just simple "brush‑brush‑brush".

The Nine‑colored Divine Light Technique, once cultivated beyond the Legendary Realm, can manifest the anomalous phenomena corresponding to the flowing light's attributes to use against foes.

The method displayed by Nangong Ya is the manifestation of the Life Tree's anomaly.

The Guardian Elder Dan Tai Shan of the Biluoyuan expedition, who has only just reached this stage of cultivation, can only manifest the "Life Tree" anomaly.

Even she can manifest only three kinds of anomalies.

Nangong Ya's talent has already become terrifying to that degree?

The current palace master of Biluoyuan, at the same age as Nangong Ya, could not yet comprehend the method of anomaly manifestation.

"Continuously breaking through in battle marks a peerless Heavenly Pride among super geniuses, destined to rise."

"It seems Nangong Ya's past battles were too few; her talent never got a chance to shine."

A Guardian evaluated.

"Perhaps."

A Guardian from Biluoyuan sighed.

Come to think of it, the geniuses of Biluoyuan truly have never undergone any life‑or‑death tempering.

In the small world.

The Three‑burial Fozhi coughed up blood incessantly, unable to smile any longer,

"Fozu! Can you explain how this makes sense?"

With victory seemingly in hand, the situation reversed at the last moment; even adopting the mindset of the Three‑burial Fozhi, he couldn't help but pray to Fozu eight hundred times in his heart.

"Your death time has arrived."

With the aid of the Life Tree anomaly, Nangong Ya's injuries fully recovered, appearing even stronger than at her peak.

"The evil nature within you is about to overwhelm you."

The Three‑burial Fozhi said earnestly, his tone suddenly becoming supremely devout, as if a compassionate Zhenfo had descended to the world, his booming voice echoing through heaven and earth,

"Benefactor! The sea of suffering is boundless; turning back is the shore."

"I will kill all you disgusting men, and then I will turn back myself!"

Nangong Ya's disgust reached its limit.

Swish!

This time, four‑colored flowing light descended.

The Three‑burial Fozhi's devout posture vanished in an instant,

"WTF! Fozu! You're playing me again!"

"I concede!"

Boom!

The Spatial Law of the Sphere of All Beings arrived first, blocking the four‑colored flowing light; spatial power enveloped the Three‑burial Fozhi, transporting him back to Yun Tai.

"Black Mist! It must be!"

Lin Chuan sat on Yun Tai, unable to sense Black Mist's aura, but based on his knowledge of Black Mist, everything seemed too familiar.

Constant evolution, growth.

Many traits of Black Mist merely manifested on Nangong Ya in another form.

Lin Chuan murmured softly, his eyes blazing.

"Nangong Ya, you cannot surpass me at this stage."
