Chapter 120: Fellow Daoist, Why Resist?

As Lu Yang appeared, his towering, mountain-like immense magic power not only made Guang Hai's expression change, but also terrified Guang Ming nearby, who displayed a look of horror.

Then he turned his gaze toward his opponent.

Qin Tianhe.

Perhaps due to a tacit understanding, or perhaps because worthy opponents had met, while the Pure Land and the Holy Sect were fighting to the death, these two were also engaged in fierce magical combat.

And at this moment, with Lu Yang's appearance, Guang Ming and Qin Tianhe exchanged a glance, then with extreme tacit coordination, gradually pulled their respective battlefields farther away. As for Guang Hai's cry for help, Guang Ming simply turned a deaf ear, for he had already seen Lu Yang take out that terrifying banner flag.

At the same time, the other Buddhist cultivators obeyed Guang Hai's command.

Seven Golden Body Dharma Idols immediately turned around, preparing to rush back to aid Guang Hai, yet almost simultaneously, Lu Yang shook the Myriad Souls Banner, and one after another, banner spirits emerged.

"Kill them all."

Lu Yang issued the order in a faint tone, then turned to face Guang Hai, whose expression was ugly, only to see a talisman clutched in Guang Hai's hand.

A Talisman of Shared Fate and Linked Lives!

This treasure of attainment from the Pure Land could directly teleport a marked person to one's side, and just now, Guang Hai had intended to teleport the Eight Departments of the Buddha Assembly over.

However, he had failed.

The next second, he looked around again, only to discover the surrounding scenery had drastically changed; remarkably, it had shifted from the interior of a magic treasure to clear mountains and waters.

The Diagram of the Abyssal Stillness Assembly!

Bestowed by Master Master Chongguang, this was a treasure of attainment belonging to True Person Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue, possessing the miraculous effect of locking down void space, and it had already been deployed the moment Lu Yang appeared.

Once Lu Yang spotted him, escape was impossible!

Thinking of this, Guang Hai finally accepted reality; his expression regained its composure, he flicked his kasaya, and in an instant, twelve array diagrams shimmering with flowing light were deployed, after which his figure vanished into the deepest part of the arrays, clearly indicating he did not intend to clash head-on with Lu Yang, but rather to use the array formation to buy time.

Hearing this, Lu Yang immediately sneered.

"Fellow Daoist, why struggle like a trapped beast? My banner happens to have a seat reserved for you!"

As a Seventh Grade Array Master, he saw at a glance that Guang Hai did not truly understand array formations; although the arrays were deployed, his qi mechanism had not merged with the array diagrams.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lu Yang did not hesitate, directly stepping into the array diagrams!

Seeing this scene, Guang Hai said nothing and immediately shook the array flags; the twelve great arrays began to operate, and swirling Buddhist light instantly constructed a magnificent temple.

"Rise!"

Feeling the surging immense force transmitted from within the array formation, Guang Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief; these twelve array diagrams were actually all parts of a single array formation.

The complete version should consist of thirty-six diagrams.

The array formation itself was meant to be used in conjunction with the Eight Departments of the Buddha Assembly, capable of creating an environment infinitely close to the Pure Land to coordinate with them.

In this way, the Eight Departments of the Buddha Assembly could join forces to borrow the status of an Arhat, and paired with the Pure Land environment created by the array, they could unleash power truly comparable to the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment for a short time; although now there were only twelve diagrams, when used for defense, it was still something ordinary cultivators could not break.

Boom!

Just as Guang Hai was thinking this, before he could react, a loud crash rang out, and the twelve array diagrams actually trembled in unison at this moment, emitting crisp explosive sounds!

The next second—

"Heaven collapses."

The first, the second, the third... under Guang Hai's stunned gaze, the twelve array diagrams shattered at an astonishing speed at this very moment!

Witnessing such a terrifying scene, Guang Hai did not even have time to feel fear, remaining in a state of bewilderment; he had thought he had overestimated Lu Yang as much as possible, yet upon truly seeing him, he realized he had still underestimated his opponent, and could not help but harbor the same doubt Guang Hui had held before his death:

"Is this person... perhaps at Foundation Establishment?"

Seeing that the twelve array diagrams were about to be pierced through by Lu Yang alone, Guang Hai had no time to think and could only take out a lifelike dragon-shaped pendant from his robe.

Crack!

Guang Hai gritted his teeth, exerted force, and crushed it; the pendant instantly shattered, and subsequently, a vast spiritual sense surged out, merging into Guang Hai's sea of consciousness.

Whoosh—!

In an instant, waves rose without wind; Guang Hai's facial features gradually smoothed out, all emotions vanished completely, leaving no panic, only indifference and tranquility.

Though he was still the same person, his eyes now overflowed with brilliant Buddhist light, his entire demeanor changed, his palms joined in prayer as he softly recited a Buddhist title, and his qi mechanism soared infinitely, reaching a level just below Foundation Establishment, infinitely close to it, in the blink of an eye!

"Amitabha."

Waves of Buddhist sounds echoed, preaching the Dharma like thunder; this powerful status spread via the sound waves, instantly alarming the Buddhist cultivators and Holy Sect true disciples who were engaged in fierce battle.

"The wind is tight, let's scram!"

The Holy Sect true disciples were clearly sensible; they retreated immediately, daring not approach where "Guang Hai" now stood, quickly putting distance between themselves and him.

Meanwhile, on the Buddhist cultivator side, thunderous sounds rang out, and excitement erupted.

"It is Arhat Fu Long!"

"Guang Hai is Arhat Fu Long's eldest disciple; did he summon the Arhat?"

"We are saved!"

Foundation Establishment! This is Foundation Establishment!

Even just a strand of spiritual sense was enough to make Qi Refining cultivators flee at the sight, so it was no wonder the Pure Land was so confident this time; they had truly prepared a trump card.

However, just at this moment, a loud crash was heard.

The twelve array diagrams shattered completely; the crumbling spiritual light poured out like a breached flood, and Lu Yang stepped out from within, surrounded by a sword rainbow.

Among everyone present, only his expression remained calm.

Seeing this scene, it was instead "Guang Hai" who narrowed his eyes, revealing an expression of keen interest: "Benefactor, your roots of wisdom are deep; why not take refuge in my Pure Land?"

Although the voice was still Guang Hai's, it now carried an indescribable magic; every word was like a pearl, sounding like an old monk in a meditation hall gently striking a wooden fish, making one involuntarily sink into it, shed all distracting thoughts, generate the desire to take refuge, and speak the secrets hidden in one's heart.

Named 'Taking Refuge,' it was actually Soul Searching!

"Bald donkey, bullshit!"

Lu Yang spoke coldly, unleashing his Foundation Establishment spiritual sense, obtained through cultivating the Heavenly Silkworm Secret Art, without any reservation, directly dispelling the strangeness within "Guang Hai's" voice.

However, seeing this, "Guang Hai" became even more delighted: "It is indeed the Nine Transformations Dragon Art."

Immediately after, he joined his palms again and laughed loudly: "Benefactor, why resist? Since you cultivate my true art, I am the karmic tie you cannot escape."

"... ou speak correctly."

Lu Yang stared straight at "Guang Hai," then sneered: "I do indeed share a karmic tie with Fu Long, unfortunately, you are merely similar, not the true Fu Long."

As the words fell, the Myriad Souls Banner shook.

The Dharma Protector Goddess Su Nuo stepped out from within, her status and qi mechanism, not inferior to the current "Guang Hai" and even far surpassing it, instantly erupted!

In an instant, the expression of "Guang Hai," who had previously been self-assured, changed slightly.

With Su Nuo's appearance, the Buddhist light that had previously overflowed due to "Guang Hai" dimmed once again, replaced by yin evil qi that filled more than half the sky.

And seeing this scene, "Guang Hai's" smile gradually faded.

"Laugh, why aren't you laughing anymore?"

"Fellow Daoist, why resist?"

Holding the Myriad Souls Banner, Lu Yang looked at Arhat Fu Long as if viewing a plump prey: "My banner is precisely lacking talent like you, fellow Daoist!"
