Chapter 119: The Fierce True Heirs

Within the Star Realm, on a stretch of wasteland.

Only to see a surge of earth-yellow light ripple forth; the originally flat ground suddenly churned like billowing waves, after which a boat slowly materialized.

Deep within the boat, Guang Hai stood with hands clasped behind his back, regulating his breath in meditation.

At the same time, Guang Ming hurried over, producing a scroll of diagrams: "Senior Brother, the disciples below have already refined twelve formation charts."

"How is it only twelve?"

Guang Hai took the scroll, frowning: "This concerns the encirclement and suppression of the demonic path and the promotion of the Righteous Dharma. Wasn't the rule previously set to refine thirty-six formation charts?"

Hearing this, Guang Ming wore a look of helplessness, smiling bitterly: "Of the thirty-six formation charts, ten were originally planned to be refined by the 【Dragon Host】 disciples. As Senior Brother knows, plus your request to advance the operation, time was limited; twelve formation charts are already the limit."

"Are you implying this is my fault?" Guang Hai narrowed his eyes.

"How could that be!"

Guang Ming immediately straightened his expression: "I mean the other disciples are simply too indolent. Junior Brother will go urge them at once, striving to refine a few more!"

Only then did Guang Hai nod with satisfaction.

According to the plan previously discussed with the Dao Court, they should have proceeded step by step, using a vast number of arrays to trap the Holy Sect to death in this location.

However, the situation had changed now. Since someone among the Holy Sect disciples had cultivated the Nine Transformations Dragon Art, Guang Hai did not intend to follow the original plan; otherwise, what if that demonic fiend who cultivated the Nine Transformations Dragon Art was killed by the Dao Court? He immediately ordered the Pure Land disciples to advance their action.

In his view, his side already held victory firmly in hand.

Because Guang Ming had not revealed Lu Yang's strength, although Guang Hai was shocked and enraged by the total annihilation of the 【Dragon Host】, he did not find it inconceivable.

After all, that was the Chusheng Sect.

And according to Guang Hai's judgment, even if the Chusheng Sect could annihilate the 【Dragon Host】, they must have suffered considerable damage themselves; how could they withstand the gathering of the Eight Hosts of Buddha?

Moreover, under the joint schemes of the Dao Court and the Pure Land, the Holy Sect had lost nearly one-third of its disciples the moment they entered the Realm Heaven; two of the seven True Heirs had died, one of whom was personally slain by Guang Hai. Although indeed somewhat troublesome, they were not as formidable as rumors suggested.

Thinking of this, Guang Hai grew even more confident:

"They all say the Holy Sect is fierce and ruthless; I see they are just so-so. Once I take the lead in this affair and establish great merit, I can conveniently make a grand appearance before the Bodhisattva."

Just then, Guang Hai's spiritual sense suddenly jolted.

The next second, a tremendous crash rang out from the Earth-Traversing Boat beneath Guang Hai's feet; as if striking a reef, it halted its voyage abruptly, and its treasure light shook violently!

"... hat is happening?"

Guang Hai immediately communicated with the magic treasure spirit of the Earth-Traversing Boat, whereupon he heard a pained cry for help: "Someone... someone is attacking me!"

"What?"

Guang Hai instantly froze, then, as if sensing something, raised his head. Almost simultaneously, all the Pure Land Shi cultivators inside the Earth-Traversing Boat looked up toward the sky above, only to see a beam of spiritual light pierce open the void, surging forth. It was a black shuttle, which thus burst open overhead before everyone!

The next second, a group of Holy Sect disciples filed out!

Five True Heirs, seven at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and dozens at the Late Stage of Qi Refining; each wore a ferocious grin, their killing qi soaring to the heavens, instantly covering more than half the dome of the sky!

Only at this moment did Guang Hai realize what was happening.

Yet even having realized it, his face remained full of disbelief: Demonic fiends launching a proactive attack? Instead of thinking to hold fast, they had taken the initiative to strike over here!?

"Everyone, move aside!"

The first to act was the Flood Dragon Daoist. Seeing him split the corners of his mouth, he directly tore off his Daoist robe, and his seemingly normal flesh and blood instantly swelled explosively!

In the blink of an eye, dense scales grew on his left hand, his five fingers fused together transforming into two dragon horns piercing the sky; his palm split open, revealing stark white fangs, actually transforming into a ferocious dragon head... Simultaneously, his remaining organs underwent transformation as well.

His intestines burst from his belly, transforming into a dragon tail.

His remaining limbs and fifth limb became dragon claws; his head retracted, embedding itself behind the dragon head like inverted scales. With each breath, a tidal wave of bloody qi swarmed forth.

He had truly transformed into a dragon!

Or rather, into something very much like a dragon; yet whether it was the piled masses of flesh or the vast but chaotic bloody qi, everything reeked of intense eeriness.

"Hahahaha!"

The next second, the evil flood dragon rode a cloud of blood, crashing directly into the Earth-Traversing Boat with a thunderous impact. The dragon head let out a long cry, and instantly, only a fierce roar remained between heaven and earth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, the Earth-Traversing Boat suffered a heavy blow; its treasure light nearly shattered, while the Shi cultivators inside with lower cultivation bases painfully covered their ears.

At the same time, the other four True Heirs followed closely behind.

"Venerable Monks, do you find me beautiful?"

Bi Feiyuan landed inside the Earth-Traversing Boat; without a second word, she directly burst her clothes open. As the thin gauze fell, a snow-white body was immediately exposed to everyone's sight.

Mutton-fat white jade, peaks dotted with pearls, not a single hair growing anywhere—all the Shi cultivators who took this scenery into their eyes instantly felt muddled and dazed, finding their pure rules impossible to keep. The primordial essence within their bodies was instantly flushed away completely; after the primordial essence was exhausted, it was their qi and blood, and finally, even their souls were flushed out together.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

In a moment, over ten Shi cultivators were seen collapsing to the ground, their faces still bearing expressions of supreme bliss.

Additionally, several dozen other Shi cultivators, though they closed their eyes in time, found it difficult to dispel the heart-demons; they could only retreat while silently reciting scriptures to suppress the desires in their hearts.

Slash!

The next second, Xu Xin's figure quietly materialized, back-stabbing and killing a Shi cultivator who was suppressing a heart-demon, then vanishing strangely from the spot.

Every time he appeared, he would take the life of one Shi cultivator.

In this regard, Chong Ming was completely opposite to him; disdaining to hide his form, he merged with sword light, charging into the crowd and rampaging wildly.

"Kill all these bald donkeys!"

At the same time, the remaining Holy Sect disciples also descended from the sky one after another, charging straight into the interior of the Earth-Traversing Boat, beginning to pair off and slaughter the Shi cultivators.

"Venerable Monk, why are you unwilling to look at me even once?"

Bi Feiyuan's form moved like lightning; while stirring up a storm of blood and wind, she continuously emitted soft, gentle words: "Since you vow to universally save all sentient beings, why not save me as well?"

"Why speak of royal power and riches? What is there to fear in precepts and pure rules..."

"Venerable Monks, I have come to aid your cultivation..."

At this very moment, Guang Hai, located at the deepest part of the Earth-Traversing Boat, finally made his move.

"Evil creature!!!"

Seeing him unleash a boundless Buddha sound from his mouth, his preaching of the Dharma like thunder: "When I establish myself as a Buddha, if any heavenly being in my land gives rise to thoughts of greed and attachment to the body, I shall not attain Supreme Perfect Enlightenment!"

Wherever the thunderous sound passed, the Shi cultivators aroused no attachment to self; thus there was no self. With no self, there was no greed, anger, or ignorance, and likewise no life or death. The myriad desires originally stirred up by Bi Feiyuan instantly vanished completely. Even when looking again at Bi Feiyuan's exposed body, their eyes remained utterly clear, without a trace of wavering.

Seeing this scene, Bi Feiyuan's pretty face instantly darkened:

"Hmph, this is exactly why I detest bald donkeys..."

With Bi Feiyuan no longer holding them in check, the Shi cultivators who had recovered quickly reformed their battle lines. Beams of Buddhist light soared into the sky, manifesting one Golden Body after another.

"Amitabha..."

Inside the Earth-Traversing Boat, Guang Hai's expression turned ugly: "With the 【Dragon Host】 gone, the Eight Hosts of Buddha lack one corner; otherwise, today I would have ensured these demonic fiends came but never returned!"

The Eight Hosts of Buddha, with hundreds of Qi Refining Shi cultivators joining hands, could construct eight Golden Bodies.

And if those eight Golden Bodies merged once more, they could borrow from the Pure Land a Luo Han status comparable to Foundation Establishment, which was the Pure Land's trump card.

But now, due to the total annihilation of the 【Dragon Host】, this trump card was mostly wasted.

Although he still had methods of remediation, the price was too great; unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to use them. Fortunately, the situation remained within his control.

"Seven Golden Bodies should be sufficient."

Guang Hai smiled coldly: "A surprise attack to break out counts as ingenuity, but alas, it remains a futile effort. Today, I shall let you all perish here."

However, just then, Guang Hai's eyebrow suddenly twitched.

At this moment, though he was situated at the deepest part of the Earth-Traversing Boat, protected by layers of arrays, he felt a sharp, sword-like gaze fall upon him.

"... ot good!"

The instant he became aware of the gaze, Guang Hai was about to immediately recall the Eight Hosts of Buddha to protect himself.

But it was too late!

Outside the Earth-Traversing Boat, high above in the dome of heaven.

Lu Yang rode the wind as if void, his expression indifferent, silently calculating with his fingers. Just as Guang Hai perceived his gaze, he also suddenly curled the corner of his mouth:

"Found you."

The next second, he plummeted downward with a crash!

Almost simultaneously, Guang Hai felt a towering mass of magic power smash through layer upon layer of obstacles, like a mountain range collapsing, overturning heaven and earth, killing its way all until it stood before him!
