Chapter 289: The Seat of Enlightenment Falls!

At this moment, within the Foundation Establishment realm.

Not far from the battlefield between Lu Yang and Vimalakirti Venerable, the Great True Persons of the Dao Court, Yushu Jiange, and Holy Sect were seen facing each other.

To be precise, the Great True Person of the Holy Sect stood alone against the Yushu Jiange and the Dao Court.

However, despite that, the atmosphere between the three sides was not so heavy; none of them had the thought of fighting to the death for the others.

There was even a hint of watching a show.

"Daoist Ye, who do you think will win or lose in the clash between Duanmu Yuan Tu and Vimalakirti? This commotion is simply too great; I think at least one of them must die."

The Great True Person who came from the Dao Court was a second-rank official named Chen Ruzhen, precisely the 【Commandant of All-Heaven in Charge of Troops】 who had previously represented the Dao Court and met with Suo Huan.

And the Great True Person who came from the Yushu Jiange was Ye Shaoying, the current head of the Ye family.

Ye Guyue was his daughter.

Therefore, speaking fairly, he was the one who most wanted to kill Lu Yang right now; alas, the Great True Person from the Holy Sect directly in front had blocked him.

"Hmph!"

After pondering for a moment, Ye Shaoying sneered: "Daoist Vimalakirti has attained the Dao for many years; even with injuries, how could that demon, who just broke through, be his match?"

This was not empty words, but a conclusion reached after analysis; a False Holder is after all a False Holder; even with the realm of a Great True Person, in the end, he is still one step lower. If they truly fought, he would inevitably die in battle. Even if Venerable Vimalakirti was not in good condition, there was no reason for him to be slain by a junior on the battlefield.

"Daoist, your words are mistaken."

Before Ye Shaoying could finish speaking, the Great True Person from the Holy Sect opposite let out a loud laugh: "One must know that similar things have happened before!"

"Ridiculous!"

Ye Shaoying naturally knew what the other was referring to; it was nothing more than the fact that years ago, when Chongguang was at the peak of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment, he had also held the position of a False Holder Great True Person and slain an enemy on the battlefield.

But what kind of person was Chongguang?

A reincarnation of a heavenly spirit born with a True Lord as backing; such a background would absolutely make him a disciple to be cultivated with priority in the Yushu Jiange. On what grounds could Lu Yang compare to him?

However, just at this moment.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar was heard from the distant battlefield; the spiritual tide surged, actually affecting both the Foundation Establishment realm and the Mortal World simultaneously. The originally chaotic Heavenly Mechanism gradually became clear.

The three Great True Persons immediately looked out.

The first thing that came into view was Lu Yang, trapped by the 【Pure Land of Stainlessness】; he was covered in fresh blood, his breath faint, looking as if he were on the verge of death.

Seeing this, Ye Shaoying's face immediately showed joy: "Indeed, Daoist Vimalakirti has won!"

On the other side, Chen Ruzhen from the Dao Court also showed joy on his face; if Lu Yang had truly been defeated, did that mean the Dao Court's goal this time might have hope of being achieved again?

At the same time, the Great True Person of the Holy Sect's expression darkened.

His name was 【Jun Tong】; he was a Great True Person under 【True Lord Zengcai Qiluo】. Because 【True Lord Zengcai Qiluo】 had always been on good terms with 【True Lord Qingcheng Feixue】, he actually had quite a high regard for Lu Yang; otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to act and block the Yushu Jiange and the Dao Court for him.

However, the situation now was clearly unfavorable.

'After all, he is young; he was too arrogant after breaking through. Vimalakirti is after all a Great True Person; escaping with his life was already good enough; how could he be so easily killed?'

Thinking of this, Jun Tong could not help but sigh inwardly:

'However... he cannot be allowed to enter the Pure Land!'

An ordinary True Person and a Great True Person carried completely different weight; Jun Tong had already made up his mind, preparing to act at the critical moment and kill Lu Yang directly.

'In that case, at least I can send his soul to reincarnate. This person's talent is so high that in our Holy Sect, only Chongguang could compare within a thousand years. It is only because his path was cut off that he met such an end. If I let him reincarnate five times and start over, perhaps he would still be a useful talent.'

Thinking of this, Jun Tong immediately moved to act.

However, the next second, he suddenly stopped his steps, staring straight at the 【Pure Land of Stainlessness】 covering Lu Yang, his brows slightly furrowed:

'Where is Vimalakirti?'

At the same time, Ye Shaoying and Chen Ruzhen also noticed something was wrong; they looked around, but found that Vimalakirti's figure could not be seen in either the Mortal World or the Foundation Establishment realm.

Where did he die?

Just at this moment, Lu Yang's main body suddenly opened his eyes, then slowly rose; and as he made this movement, a shocking scene appeared.

The 【Pure Land of Stainlessness】 collapsed!

Boundless Buddha light, monks, and priests, at this moment seemed as if they were made of tofu; they simply could not withstand Lu Yang's spiritual pressure and directly shattered inch by inch!

In an instant, Ye Shaoying's face stiffened.

'How is this possible!'

The 【Pure Land of Stainlessness】 was the foundation of Vimalakirti's Dao; now that it had collapsed, did it not mean he was already dead? Could he really have been slain by Lu Yang?

On the other side, Chen Ruzhen, who was from the Dao Court, was even more terrified in expression, silently retreating behind Ye Shaoying... After all, it was well known that the combat power of Dao Court cultivators was the weakest; since Lu Yang could kill Venerable Vimalakirti, then in all likelihood he could also kill him; how could this not make him feel fear?

However, very soon, the two of them regained their composure.

Ye Shaoying even shook his head and said: "Daoist Vimalakirti was after all injured; although he was defeated this time, once he recovers in the future, the result might not be the same."

"Recover?"

Just at this moment, a clear laugh came through; Lu Yang opened his eyes, waved his hand, and 【Li Jie Bo】 flew over from the Mortal World.

"You all should stop thinking too much."

"From now on, there will no longer be anyone named Vimalakirti!"

Lu Yang's voice rolled out; for a moment, only his voice echoed, while the others' expressions changed slightly, and they subconsciously began to calculate.

Very soon, Ye Shaoying revealed a look of shock:

"No cause and effect... How can there be no cause and effect!?"

After a Pure Land Venerable dies, they do not enter reincarnation but are drawn back by the Pure Land through cause and effect, making them extremely hard to kill... However, now, Vimalakirti's cause and effect has been extinguished!

【Duanmu Yuan Tu】!

The fifth divine wonder of 【Li Jie Bo】; this sword severs cause and effect when it kills; no one can calculate it, and the person killed will inevitably become someone without cause or effect.

The Pure Land cannot draw them in either!

The only result is that the soul will scatter into the void!

With such a battle result, even if Lu Yang were more severely injured, even if he were on his last breath, what of it? As long as a True Person does not emerge, he is one of the few great masters of profound arts in all heaven and earth!

Heaven and earth shall henceforth bear your name!

Just then, a brilliant Jin Guang suddenly rose from the west. As if finally noticing something amiss, an invisible gaze also cast itself forth.

In an instant, all things in heaven and earth seemed to fall into silence; all manner of splendor ceased their movement, leaving only that invisible gaze to scrutinize everything. It gradually revealed anger, fixed directly upon Lu Yang, and in an instant pressed until his tendons snapped and his bones broke.

Yet even so, Lu Yang still raised his head.

Bearing that overwhelming heavy pressure, he stood with his head held high.

"What can you do to me?"

Boom!

A thunderclap exploded; the pressure within the gaze suddenly intensified countlessfold, yet at the critical moment it was blocked by another mighty force and thus vanished into nothingness.

Two vast divine wills intertwined in the void:

"Fellow Daoist, when playing chess, each relies on their own skill; losing a piece and then overturning the board is hardly magnanimous."

"Amitabha."

The Holy Sect has intervened!

Lu Yang did not know who it was, but regardless, having falsely held the title of Great True Person and array-killed Vimaladatta was enough to compel a True Person of the Holy Sect to appear and personally protect him!

Moreover, for the True Persons now, there was another matter of even greater importance.

At this moment, everyone suddenly felt a resonance, including Lu Yang. All raised their heads, looking toward the Foundation Establishment realm, toward that Fruit-Seat Star.

【Long Flowing Water】.

This was normally a very ordinary occurrence.

Yet at this moment, for some unknown reason, the Fruit-Seat, which had originally hung high in the firmament, untouchable and unattainable, suddenly underwent a change.

It, it actually began to fall!
