Chapter 88

Perched atop Gaoshan on the Guili Plain, the wooden clone holding a sword and gathering energy suddenly opened its eyes, and the entire figure vanished.

At the border of Cuijue Slope.

Jiang Yan stood upon the Great Buddha; as the fists of the Buddha manifested above him exhausted their power, countless large and small fist craters came into view.

Dust and smoke filled the air, but a streak of bright light immediately flashed from within the haze.

A beam of light pierced through Jiang Yan's body almost instantly.

Even though he had already dodged when his Observation Haki warned him.

But how could he be faster than light?

"Cough... cough....."

Jiang Yan coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Wood Spirit Immortal Lord, though this move of yours is powerful, we Demon Gods are not all pushovers."

Each of these Demon Gods bore injuries; originally more than ten, now only six remained.

"Using the corpses of other Demon Gods and the energy shockwaves exploding at their death to cancel out the fist curtain of the Buddha manifested above?"

Jiang Yan murmured weakly.

"Truly cold-blooded..."

The Unsealed Healing Technique was rapidly activated within his body.

The wound on his chest was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You can only use this move once, right?"

"Then how will you now... defend against our remaining..."

"Six Demon Gods?!"

Hearing the words of the Demon Gods, the corners of Jiang Yan's mouth curled up slightly.

What made these Demon Gods believe

that he could only release the Buddha manifested above once?

But immediately, his expression changed abruptly.

He turned his head to look behind him.

Behind him, dark clouds were dense; faintly, several figures emerged from within the dark clouds.

Jiang Yan stared fixedly at that familiar figure within the dark clouds.

Chi!!

"You..."

Jiang Yan's chilling words flowed from between his teeth.

"It seems you have realized it, Wood Spirit Immortal Lord!"

The Demon Gods laughed wildly.

"This time, it is not just us!!!"

"Even if you manage to escape by luck this time, what you will see upon returning is nothing but the broken walls and ruins of the Guili Plain!"

"Watch with your own eyes as that once-prosperous Guili Plain turns into a wasteland of ruins!!"

Jiang Yan said nothing, his face merely dark and gloomy.

"Sorry, everyone, but I am suddenly in a great hurry."

"So could you please..."

"Hurry up and die?!"

The Great Buddha behind him suddenly stood up, and dense white light gathered on its fists.

On the Thousand-Hand Luo Pan behind it, the sound of "crack, crack" continuously arose.

Almost in an instant, the wooden fist that had previously vanished reappeared on the Thousand-Hand Luo Pan.

The assembled Demon Gods were stunned, and a thread of fear suddenly arose in their hearts.

"Immortal Method! Buddha Manifested Above!"

"Quake, Great Quake!!"

Countless fists turned into a fist curtain, sweeping towards the group of Demon Gods once again.

At the same time, the standing Great Buddha swung its fists, and vast cracks in the air instantly spread out.

Violent energy raged across this land.

The ground shattered, tilting east and west as if sliced open.

Infinite shaking force erupted, carrying a violent momentum and smashing towards the group of Demon Gods.

"How is this possible! How can you use such a terrifying move a second time?!"

"This is impossible!!!"

"Damn it! Attack quickly!"

The Demon Gods opened their eyes in terror, using all their strength to unleash their strongest killing moves.

Yet they were shattered by the shaking force constantly surging from the surroundings.

Immediately, the sky-filling fist curtain rushed forward, covering them almost instantly.

For a moment, wails rose on all sides; these Demon Gods struggled to block the impact brought by the Buddha Manifested Above and the shattering caused by the shaking force.

"Wood Release, Body Replacement Technique!"

Jiang Yan summoned a wooden clone and provided it with the elemental energy needed to release the Buddha Manifested Above again.

"I leave this place to you!"

"Leave it to me, Original Body!"

The wooden clone nodded at him and stood atop the great Buddha.

Jiang Yan hesitated little, nodded, then clapped his hands together.

"Wood Release, Wood Dragon Technique!"

A wood dragon sprouted from the great Buddha; Jiang Yan stood on its head and charged straight toward the Guili Plain.
