Chapter 164: Kill Them All!

At this moment, the sky vanished.

Lu Yang looked up at the heavens, but saw only the turbid clouds dissipating, the sun, moon, and stars all dimming together, leaving only a boundless Milky Way with neither head nor tail encircling the horizon.

Starlight? The Silver River?

Lu Yang could not tell the difference; he only saw that boundless Milky Way flowing slowly onward, reaching up to the celestial dome where sea and sky merged into one color, while below it crouched the myriad peaks, all bowing their brows.

The first to bear the brunt was the Dao Karma of the Innate True Person; he did not even have time to react, merely looking up at the sky with that boundless Milky Way reflected in his eyes, before the water of the Milky Way flowed down from his eyes, melting his flesh and skin, his tendons and bones, dissolving his entire body inch by inch.

Without a second word, Lu Yang rushed forward and grabbed it.

Even so, that Innate Dao Karma remained completely motionless, standing blankly in place, its lips parting and closing as it exhaled a deep sigh:

"Water Beneath the Ravine."

With those words, the Innate Dao Karma fell into dead silence, and the Imperial Palace Golden Seal Doushui True Edict also lost its radiance, falling to the ground like an ordinary object.

Lu Yang naturally accepted all of this with a smile.

Immediately after, he looked around, only to see Ying Tongshou and Ye Xingfeng still kneeling on the ground, remarkably motionless just like the Innate Dao Karma.

Then a breeze blew, and their bones vanished and flesh dissolved.

"Whoosh!"

Two Mid Stage Foundation Establishment True Persons, one of whom was an unparalleled sword cultivator who had refined a Sword Heart and Sword Intent, were thus scattered in their true bodies and dharma forms by a mere gentle breeze!

Following this came a loud clang as Ying Tongshou's storage pouch and Ye Xingfeng's temper-forged natal flying sword fell to the ground; seeing this, Lu Yang without hesitation immediately gathered everything up, just as a great rumble echoed again from above the dome and at the edges of the Four Seas, prompting him to raise his head toward the sky once more.

He saw that from above the celestial dome, countless sparks of starlight were plummeting down from the void.

Lu Yang opened his Dharma Eye, pushing the Ultimate Heaven Instrument in his brow to its limit, until the light of Bing Fire illuminated the six directions, allowing him to barely make out a few details of the landscape between heaven and earth.

The sea surface was rising.

No, to be precise, a portion of the sea was rising; Lu Yang could not see exactly how large it was, only that the distant horizon showed obvious dislocation and misalignment!

"A part of the sea has flown up?"

Lu Yang looked up, gazing into the far distance, piercing through thirty-six layers of罡 clouds and layer upon layer of mist, until he vaguely perceived a face obscured by the fog.

"A True Person's Dharma Aspect!"

Lu Yang had seen one once before during the Battle for the Dao, but at that time he had not yet reached Foundation Establishment and could only observe from afar, lacking the sense of reality he felt now.

Then he saw that face, which filled the extreme heavens and covered the earth, tilt slightly downward.

It looked at him.

No, it did not merely look at him; rather, it blinked at him, actually winking at him with an expression of extreme joy.

However, as the target of her wink, Lu Yang himself felt his vision suddenly go black, unable to bear it at all; his soul nearly flew out of his body, and two lines of bloody tears streamed from his eyes, forcing him to quickly lower his head, daring not to meet the gaze of that face in the sky again.

Yet thanks to that fleeting glimpse, he already understood what was happening.

At this moment, nearly half of the overseas region had fallen into the palm of True Person Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue, lifted up forcibly by her as if she were cupping water!

In the inland region, near the direction of Jiangxi.

Hong Yun's escape light was swift as lightning; under the blessing of his Precious Radiance Blessed Land, a single step covered tens of thousands of li, advancing side by side with a hazy, graceful figure.

"Amitabha..."

The hazy figure revealed its form, bathed in clear Buddhist light; it was none other than Bodhisattva Treasured Vase Water Moon, who had borrowed the body of Guangming, yet she now wore an expression of anger on her face:

"... o not follow me!"

Daoist Hong Yun did not dare hesitate and stated directly: "Bodhisattva, I am willing to join the Pure Land! I am also willing to merge my Precious Radiance Blessed Land into the Pure Land!"

With Daoist Hong Yun's insight, he could naturally see that the avatar manifested by Bodhisattva Treasured Vase Water Moon this time was fundamentally different from the other two True Person avatars; the other two had come on a whim, whereas Bodhisattva Treasured Vase Water Moon had planned this long ago, and thus had invested the most!

Therefore, the only way to survive was to rely on her.

Daoist Hong Yun considered himself a Golden Core reincarnate; although he had lost his fruit of attainment, he still retained his Golden Nature within his body, making him of great use to the Pure Land.

In the past, he might have hesitated.

However, now, with True Person Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue present, if he did not make a decision immediately, he would surely face nine deaths and one life; no matter what, being alive was better than being dead.

"You wish to enter my Pure Land?"

For an instant, Bodhisattva Treasured Vase Water Moon truly felt a flicker of interest, but before she could speak further, she felt a gentle breeze brush against her.

The breeze carried a hint of moisture, and in an instant the sensation turned icy cold, as if a handful of clear spring water from a mountain ravine had been splashed onto her face; in that moment, her vision blurred as if in a dream, unable to distinguish up from down or left from right, and vaguely she heard the sound of dripping water before her form scattered with a splash.

"Boom!"

Brilliant light descended from the heavens like water bursting through a dam, and in an instant blasted that avatar into countless golden sparks, leaving it utterly powerless to resist!

In Jiangxi, within the Deep Joy Pure Land.

Having long ceased reciting scriptures and expounding the Dharma, Bodhisattva Treasured Vase Water Moon, whose embroidered brows were tightly furrowed, suddenly opened her eyes, finally losing her former composure.

"Madwoman! Why must it be me first? I have not yet agreed to him!"

For a moment, Bodhisattva Treasured Vase Water Moon lost her purity, displaying all the myriad emotions of the mortal world, truly spewing filthy curses from her mouth like a shrew scolding in the streets.

It was only after quite some time that she suddenly came to her senses.

"Oh no... my avatar was killed, and it has affected my main body!"

In the next second, she hurriedly stabilized her Buddhist light, swiftly cutting off the many distracting thoughts in her heart, and quietly chanted Buddhist scriptures, daring not to concern herself with matters outside anymore.

At the same time, in the overseas region.

As the avatar of Bodhisattva Treasured Vase Water Moon shattered into fragments of light and shadow, Daoist Hong Yun stood helplessly in place, letting out a long sigh after a long while.

In the next second, the Precious Radiance Blessed Land behind him began to dim at a speed visible to the naked eye, while countless conspicuous cracks appeared all over his body; no matter how he urged his magic power or unleashed his divine abilities, he could not repair them, and could only watch helplessly.

"Mid Stage... what suffering!"

Before his voice had even faded, Daoist Hong Yun exploded directly, his shattered flesh turning into streaks of firelight, each one resembling a meteor spark plummeting toward the sea surface.

Almost simultaneously, two more streaks of firelight exploded in the sky.

The avatar of the Son of Heaven of the Dao Court, and the avatar of a True Person from the Sword Pavilion.

For a moment, Lu Yang below saw only countless sparks of starlight falling, yet before they could reach the sea surface, they were all extinguished by that boundless Milky Way.

Only at this moment did Lu Yang realize how superfluous his earlier worries had been.

Could True Person Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue not handle this little trouble?

She even killed them all!

Ye Xingfeng, the Blood Demon True Person, Ying Tongshou, the Innate Dao Karma, Daoist Hong Yun, and the True Person avatars—True Person Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue made no distinction between right and wrong, killing them all in one breath!

Just then, Lu Yang suddenly looked up to see that boundless Milky Way flowing slowly, its sound riding the waves of the river, traveling from south to north and west to east, instantly penetrating into the Dao Court, the Pure Land, and even the Sword Pavilion; it was not speech, but a burst of extremely excited laughter:

"Hahahaha!"

The laughter was fervent; cultivators below Foundation Establishment, whose status was insufficient, could not even control themselves and were forced to echo that laughter, laughing along with it.

Almost simultaneously, qi auras surged from all four directions.

Seeing this, the laughter stopped abruptly, as if shifting instantly from a warm summer sun to a cold, harsh winter, leaving only a cool inquiry:

"Who wishes to fight me?"
