Chapter 121: One Palm!

At this moment, the entire Earth-Traveling Boat was nearly scrapped.

Rolling Yin Sha obscured the sky's light, causing the Buddhist Dharma's momentum to decline; even mere contact of their qi auras felt like two towering deep mountains colliding, emitting thunderous explosions.

"Benefactor, what an exquisite method."

As Su Xing appeared, "Guang Hai's" expression became extremely grave, clearly no longer daring to view Lu Yang as a Qi Refining cultivator he could manipulate at will.

By rights, external Foundation Establishment forces were not permitted to intervene in a Dao-Seizing Battle.

That he could display such strength was entirely due to a clever trick unique to the Pure Land.

Because strictly speaking, he was not Arhat Fu Long; he was simply "Guang Hai," who had merely borrowed the status of Arhat Fu Long from within the Pure Land temporarily.

The reason he could borrow it was that Guang Hai was originally a disciple of the 【Fu Long Temple】.

Cultivation in the Pure Land entails enlightenment, realizing oneself as part of the World Honored One; "I" am the World Honored One, the World Honored One is "I," and when Brahma and Self become one, the Great Dao is formed.

However, this step cannot be achieved overnight.

It requires a gradual process; for a disciple like Guang Hai, it is impossible to realize "I" as the World Honored One, as the gap in realms is simply too vast.

His enlightenment was that "I" am "Arhat Fu Long."

Among the countless temples and meditation forests of the Pure Land, disciples all follow this pattern: first realizing the "self" of their temple's abbot, before attempting to realize the self of the World Honored One.

Such cultivation methods can be described as bizarre.

Especially regarding the exploitation of Qi Refining disciples, they were no less than the Holy Sect; if not for this, the Pure Land would not have been called the Pure Land Evil Sect back in the day.

Nevertheless, it is undeniable that this cultivation method indeed provided many conveniences for lower-ranking disciples.

Since essentially it was still "Guang Hai" and not truly external force, using it in a Dao-Seizing Battle was beyond reproach, making it Guang Hai's greatest trump card.

However, what "Guang Hai" found somewhat unacceptable was that he had risked losing his self to barely borrow a portion of Arhat Fu Long's status, so what was the deal with this demon before him? How could he possess a complete Foundation Establishment True Person!? What price had he paid?

Could it be that he paid nothing at all?

Looking at Lu Yang's relaxed face, "Guang Hai's" lips trembled slightly, feeling a surge of rage flood his heart; instantly, infinite fierce winds whipped up from nowhere.

Seeing this, Lu Yang immediately sneered: "Getting anxious?"

Boom!

Before his voice even faded, "Guang Hai" lifted his foot and stepped forward; between his steps, the earth shook and mountains quaked, Buddhist light poured down, instantly piercing through the dark clouds formed by the coalesced Yin Sha above.

With just this single step forward, "Guang Hai's" qi aura soared abruptly, and as his lips parted and closed, he emitted a thunderous, vast and boundless Buddhist sound: "When I establish myself as a Buddha, if my light has limits, failing to illuminate even a hundred thousand myriad nayuta of Buddha lands below, then I shall not attain Supreme Perfect Enlightenment!"

Instantly, Buddhist light illuminated everywhere.

As far as the eye could see, there was only a beam of immeasurable light piercing the sky and connecting to the void, resplendent in gold and jade, dazzling to the eye, extending infinitely upward and downward with no end in sight.

Immeasurable Light Great Mantra!

This Immeasurable Light generated by the Great Mantra was reputed to illuminate all demonic obstacles in the world; it was the most powerful Great Mantra in Guang Hai's possession.

The so-called demonic obstacles were actually not about good, evil, orthodoxy, or demonhood, but rather a matter of personal conviction; as long as one personally identified someone as a "demon," they fell within its sphere of influence.

"Today, this poor monk shall eliminate demons and protect the Dao, promoting the Righteous Dharma!"

Seeing "Guang Hai" with a solemn and majestic appearance, the immeasurable divine light in his hand immediately crashed downward, sweeping toward Lu Yang's direction with a towering momentum akin to the heavens collapsing!

Wherever it passed, large swathes of Yin Sha were ignited, burned into nothingness.

Even Su Xing revealed a hint of discomfort; clearly, this Great Mantra was extremely incompatible with her nature, and while it wouldn't damage her, she could not remain unscathed.

As for the Holy Sect true disciples in the distance, their faces turned pale one after another, their expressions grave.

This was because even from a great distance, that beam of immeasurable light still made them feel a heat like burning fire; it was a divine ability capable of severely injuring them!

However, upon seeing this, Lu Yang instead burst into loud laughter:

"Eliminate demons and protect the Dao?"

Immediately after, his mouth curled into a grin, his face full of mockery: "Calling me a demon? Very well, today let us see who the real demon is!"

As his voice fell, Lu Yang pressed his palms together.

Whoosh—!

Behind him, the Myriad Souls Banner fluttered, and Patriarch Ting You quietly appeared, sighing: "It cost me some effort, but I've finally managed to complete most of it..."

The next second, figures emerged one after another behind Patriarch Ting You; without exception, these were all Shi cultivators who had previously died at Lu Yang's hands and were then collected into the Myriad Souls Banner, and even at this very moment, Shi cultivators dying outside in battle were being continuously added.

Immediately, these Shi cultivators pressed their palms together in unison.

"Amitabha!"

The Buddhist sound was vast and mighty, perfectly synchronized, actually generating a vast expanse of Buddhist light that infused Lu Yang, converging into a illusory Buddha statue!

The combined attack technique of Shi cultivators!

Patriarch Ting You had actually managed to comprehend a method to adapt the Pure Land's techniques onto the 【Yan Mo Hall】, using a large number of Shi cultivator banner spirits to replace the earth veins!

"Now I lack nothing!"

As his voice fell, Su Xing plunged downward, entering Lu Yang's body; the peak-state empowerment also made the Buddha statue behind Lu Yang become increasingly solid.

Sage Thief!

Previously, when Lu Yang circulated this cultivation method, he would condense a "Sage Aspect," yet at this moment, this "Sage Aspect" had transformed into the form of a Buddha!

In an instant, all Yin Sha vanished, leaving only pure Buddhist light covering the sky and earth, even grander than the Immeasurable Light fully unleashed by "Guang Hai," to the point that when that beam of Immeasurable Light struck the "Buddha Aspect," it could not raise even the slightest ripple on its Golden Body, feeling like a gentle breeze brushing against a face!

"Since you have seen the True Buddha, why do you not bow?"

The Buddhist sound thundered in the ears, containing Lu Yang's spiritual sense comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, shaking "Guang Hai" as if in a dream, causing his mind to waver momentarily:

"How, how is it possible? A Buddha? A True Buddha?"

The next second, that Golden Body Buddha, towering as large as a mountain range, smiled gently, its expression radiating compassion: "Demon, repent before your Buddha."

As his voice fell, Lu Yang raised his palm.

Simultaneously, the "Buddha Aspect" behind him also raised its hand, slowly descending; intense spiritual energy burned and roared in its palm, transforming into boiling flowing fire.

As the palm descended, the dome of heaven brightened immensely!

At this very moment, not only Guang Hai, but all Shi cultivators on the battlefield could not help but reveal devout expressions, pressing their palms together and chanting softly:

"Amitabha..."

Boom!

After the tremendous roar, everything returned to tranquility.

Only a huge palm print remained on the spot; all Shi cultivators had turned to ash, and hundreds of souls, now homeless, drifted into the Myriad Souls Banner.

On the palm print, the Holy Sect disciples who had not been affected stood dumbfounded, staring at the massive palm-print crater beneath their feet, unable to regain their senses for a long while; at the edge of the palm print, Guang Ming, who had narrowly escaped death for the third time due to clashing with Qin Tianhe, felt his legs go soft and immediately knelt prostrate on the ground.

Almost simultaneously, outside the Realm Sky.

"... lasphemer against the Buddha!"

Seeing this, the True Person from the Pure Land suddenly rose, his face ugly to the extreme, because he had clearly sensed that his Fruit Position Treasure had shattered.

This single palm strike from Lu Yang had nearly killed all the Shi cultivators!

The extremely few who were not crushed to death were only because Guang Hai had acted early, leaving some Shi cultivators behind who failed to arrive in time.

Yet even so, the remaining Shi cultivators could no longer pose any threat and were left at the mercy of others; in other words, in this Dao-Seizing Battle, the Pure Land had been eliminated first! How could the Pure Land True Person, who had prepared so many methods beforehand and pinned such high hopes on this battle, accept this?

On the other side, True Person Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue wore a face full of concern: "Bodhisattva, do not rush."

"Why generate anger and rage, losing your dignity for nothing?"

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences for strategists; look at our Holy Sect, although we have never lost a recent Dao-Seizing Battle, even if we did lose, we would absolutely not get angry."

Upon hearing these words, the Pure Land True Person became even angrier.

If it were any other Holy Sect True Person, it might be fine, but who doesn't know that you, True Person Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue, are the Holy Sect's famous madwoman, with a record full of prior offenses!

When defeated in a Dao-Seizing Battle, you are the type to flip your face and refuse to acknowledge the debt!

And now you are trying to persuade me?

You beast!
