Chapter 258: Ganges Sand Sumeru Pot: Breaking Free from the Worldly Battle [Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!]

~17 min read 3,257 words

"Damn it!"

Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva had no time to react; the space behind him had already torn apart like a picture scroll, collapsing like a mirror.

A flash of black and white divine light fell upon him, and his entire body was directly pulverized into a pile of dust without any resistance.

Myriad rays of Buddhist light burst forth, scattering in all directions. Only a sharp, chilling murderous intent remained, cutting across the sky, condensed and unyielding.

In the distance, Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva reappeared. As a Fomen disciple who focused on refining the heart, he, who had always been calm and composed, could not help but feel surging waves in his heart, unable to remain tranquil.

There was no other reason; the speed at which the opponent tore through space was too fast, too effortless, too relaxed.

This ability seemed as casual as if it were rooted in his very bones. It sounded simple, but at the Golden Immortal level, the pressure and lethality it brought were truly too strong.

"Inconceivable~"

Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva looked at Fang Longye with deep, dark eyes, revealing a sense of disbelief.

It was not that he had never encountered races involved in spatial divine abilities, but none could achieve this level at the Golden Immortal stage.

Tearing through space and traveling through it without a trace of smoke or fire was as simple as eating or drinking—eating when hungry, drinking when thirsty.

This was almost on par with the flexible application of space at the Taiyi realm.

It was not that a Golden Immortal could not tear space like this, but they often relied on the benefit of Spirit Treasures. To achieve this by oneself alone was not easy.

One must know that to tear the void and travel through it, there was far too much to contend with.

Without the benefit of a Spirit Treasure, to achieve such ease and fluidity by oneself, the requirements for one's true form were far higher than one could imagine.

The person before him was merely of the Dragon Clan; how did it feel as if his true form could rival the physical shell of the Witch Clan?

"I was indeed a bit arrogant!" He had a Wooden Fish hanging high above his head, scattering three thousand rays of Buddhist light, temporarily blocking Fang Longye's subsequent attacks, as he took a Jade Pot from his sleeve with one hand.

"I thought this Dragon Lord was just a newcomer to the Golden Immortal Perfection, so I underestimated him slightly. That really shouldn't have happened~"

Just as Fang Longye could see that he had never practiced specifically for his physical body, Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva could also see that Fang Longye had not ascended to Golden Immortal Perfection for very long.

That was why he did not take out a Spirit Treasure to fight at the first moment.

After all, the gap between one Golden Immortal Perfection and another was not small.

Just like himself, he had already imprinted ninety-nine percent of his mark in the Dao Source Sea, and he was not far from the Taiyi realm.

How could a greenhorn who had just ascended to Golden Immortal Perfection handle that? He never expected that he had miscalculated~ "However, since that is the case, why should I ignore my advantages and fight you in a direction I am not good at?"

It seemed as though his thoughts turned a thousand times, but in reality, it was only a fleeting moment.

Before Fang Longye could break the defense of the Wooden Fish, Guoshi Wang took the Jade Pot in his hand and shook it gently.

Immediately, fine, dense sand poured out from the mouth of the pot, appearing golden yellow, brilliant and dazzling, with a rich Buddhist charm.

The golden sand emerged from the pot's mouth, more and more, as if there were no end to it; in the blink of an eye, it had already filled the arena.

Golden light burst forth, flashing back and forth.

Fang Longye had originally been continuously tearing space, circling around Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva, looking for his flaws.

As soon as the Jade Pot appeared, it made his heart alert. He intended to retreat, but the golden sand struck in an instant, filling the universe of time and space.

It made it incomparably difficult for him to even want to tear the void and escape.

Soon, even the most careful plan had a flaw. While searching for a spatial loophole, Fang Longye was careless for a moment and leaked a trace of his Aura.

Instantly, these grains of golden sand filling the sky seemed to have spirituality, tightly entangling him.

Then, all the golden sand, like a fish smelling blood, came toward him, engulfing him within it.

No matter how he dodged or shifted, they followed him relentlessly.

He was completely unable to break free—" 'Ganges Sand Sumeru Pot'~"

Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva stroked the Jade Pot in his hand, which was carved with patterns and inlaid with the Buddhist Seven Treasures, looking exceptionally gorgeous.

He could not help but wear a smile.

Fomen often says, "In a grain of sand, a world; in a leaf, a Bodhi."

This, of course, refers to the fact that every small thing may contain the mysteries and wisdom of the entire universe; every leaf is a symbol of the Dharma, representing the wisdom and enlightenment of the Buddha.

But this also refers to the supreme power of the Buddha, who can open up a Sumeru World within a single grain of dust or sand.

And in this Jade Pot, the number of golden sand grains was more than billions of trillions, simply like the sands of the Ganges.

Each grain of golden sand contained a Sumeru World within it. Billions of trillions of golden sand grains meant billions of trillions of Sumeru Worlds.

One can imagine such power.

This Spirit Treasure was not at the bottom even among Supreme Spiritual Treasures. It was only because he came with a mission this time that he was granted such a Buddhist treasure before his departure.

"Such power~" Fang Longye's brows twitched; he only felt an indescribable force filling the surroundings, squeezing everything.

Every grain of golden sand that hit him was like a Sumeru World crashing into him.

Even though his physical shell was incomparably powerful and his essence, Qi, and spirit were integrated as one, he could not hold on for long.

"Damn!"

The gushing golden sand, wave after wave, struck his body like a burst flood, surging in and drowning his true form.

No matter how he used Size Manipulation, he could not escape the entanglement of these golden sands, and even using his various Spirit Treasures and divine abilities could only wear down a portion of the sand.

As long as all the golden sand was not completely destroyed, new sand would immediately be born to make up for everything.

He used the Two Instruments Divine Gourd in his hand to collect a portion, but immediately, he could no longer contain it~

"Damn it! This is the Fomen that cries poverty all day? A little-known Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva can have a Supreme Spiritual Treasure with him; is this what you call poor?"

"It seems I have to use the Zhanxian Gourd!" Fang Longye's heart stirred, and he immediately wanted to activate the 'Zhanxian Gourd', this innate treasure of slaughter.

As soon as the thought arose, he suddenly heard the sound of a sword, and murderous intent came from beyond the sky.

The pressure around his body suddenly eased, and Fang Longye hurriedly took this opportunity to exert all his strength, wanting to break the blockade of the golden sand filling the sky.

As for Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva, when the sword sound rang out, his expression changed, and he hurriedly looked up at the firmament.

Only to see, above the nine heavens.

The void seemed to brighten for a moment, with exquisite frost-white light wheels blooming around it, expanding and contracting.

It looked extremely distant.

But when Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva saw this strange phenomenon, a sharp murderous intent had already approached, silent and soundless.

Rip—

He took a step, moved slightly, and the formless and shadowless sword light brushed past his body.

But the icy coldness was continuous and unending, making his Bodhisattva Dharma body feel the chill seeping into his very bones.

Ssh, ssh, ssh—

One after another, sword lights slashed over, becoming increasingly elusive, making it difficult even to sense them.

Even though he quickly deployed a Mirror Spirit Treasure, he could only see a few faint, imperceptible shadows.

It was truly because this sword light was too fast, too urgent, and too profound; even if it could not compare to directly traversing space-time, the ingenuity and concealment contained within the murderous intent were fused together.

It was masterful, reaching the pinnacle of perfection.

"Formless Killing Sword, Shadow Suspending Departing Light."

Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva looked up at the sword light that seemed to be in a different space-time. While dealing with it with all his might, the swastika scriptures shone in his eyes, burning brightly, and he exclaimed: "I truly didn't expect, Benefactor Water Ape, that you would actually have such a trick up your sleeve~"

The admiration in these words was sincere and genuine.

This Water Ape Great Sage, relying on this Sword Dao, hid in the void; with his attainment in the Heavenly Eye, plus the Mirror Spirit Treasure that could see through reality and illusion, he still could not perceive it.

It was truly magnificent.

To have actually realized such a path from the Dao of Water.

Subtly influencing, killing without form.

That's right, this Formless Killing Dao was not realized by the Water Ape Great Sage from anywhere else; it was precisely realized from the Dao of Water that he excelled in.

Just like the Iron Fan Princess whom Fang Longye encountered before, who realized the Dao of Speed from the Dao of Wind.

The wise see wisdom, the foolish see foolishness. A hundred people have a hundred natures, and a thousand people have a thousand hearts. Everyone has different personalities and mindsets, and their ways of viewing and understanding things are also different.

The results obtained are also vastly different.

Some people observe water and can see that it benefits all things without contention; some people observe water and can see one of the Five Elements; some people observe water and can see the water's destruction of all things... and for the Water Ape Great Sage, this killing move is the Black Water murderous intent, subtle and pervasive.

"Good opportunity!"

Fang Longye had broken free from the golden sand blockade at this moment. Seeing Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva concentrating his mind to deal with the Water Ape Great Sage's killing move, he thought to himself.

He immediately patted the top of his forehead with his hand, and a ray of light rushed out from his auspicious clouds.

This ray of light was five-colored, filling the sky and covering the earth, bottomless, with the Five Elements revolving endlessly in profound mystery.

It looked simple, yet it possessed the posture of containing all the principles of the universe and heaven and earth.

This is because the Dao of the Five Elements is fundamentally one of the most basic laws in heaven and earth.

As soon as it appeared, it evolved into a scene of the creation of the world, and the full, abundant light permeated the void.

Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva was engrossed in his contest with the Water Ape Great Sage, who was hidden in the void.

Seeing the light sweep over and land on him, he immediately fell into a state of stagnation and could not help but want to throw himself into the Five-Colored Divine Light and become a part of it.

He could not help but exclaim: "Five-Colored Divine Light?!"

"Begone!"

Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva sensed his true body shaking and dared not be negligent, immediately circulating his Dharma power, even adding his own Primordial One Qi to it.

The vigorous power surged down, resisting the Five-Colored Divine Light struck by Fang Longye.

However, the Five-Colored Divine Light suddenly bent and landed directly on the Jade Pot in his hand. The Jade Pot immediately went still, its luster faded, and its power was no longer apparent.

The next moment, it flew out uncontrollably, as if attracted by the Five-Colored Divine Light, leaping into it like a fish.

It floated within the Five-Colored Divine Light.

"My Spirit Treasure!"

Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva screamed, his face turning livid.

The Five-Colored Divine Light, there is nothing it cannot brush away! That proud peacock's unique Great Divine Ability that has shaken the past and present! Even if it only came from the hands of a latecomer like Fang Longye, and even if it was only at the acquired level and had not yet entered the innate, it still could not hide its ten-thousand-foot radiance.

"How do you know the Five-Colored Divine Light of Peacock Great Wisdom King Bodhisattva?"

Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva was both shocked and angry.

What shocked him was that without that person's permission, Fang Longye would have no way to learn such a Great Divine Ability.

What angered him was that this 'Ganges Sand Sumeru Pot' did not truly belong to him.

It was bestowed upon him by the high-level figures of the Brahma sect only because he was tasked with a mission. There was a high probability that it would have to be returned afterward.

But now, such a Buddhist treasure had been lost in his hands. He did not know how much his impression score would drop in the eyes of the Brahma sect's high-level figures~

Not to mention Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva, once the Five-Colored Divine Light appeared, even the Water Ape Great Sage, who was hiding in the void to fight, was shocked in his heart.

He clicked his tongue in wonder: "What kind of sacred being is this friend my nephew made! Even that person's Five-Colored Divine Light, he managed to learn~"

Fang Longye had the five-colored divine radiance shining on his left hand, playing with the Jade Pot snatched from Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva's hand, and could not help but feel satisfied.

"No wonder Kong Xuan was able to brush away groups of immortals with this divine ability back then, even daring to stubbornly contend against Saints~"

"It truly lives up to its reputation!"

Originally, he would not have been able to cultivate the Five-Colored Divine Light capable of fighting so quickly.

However, the Wu Clan Essence Blood he had previously refined was not lacking in the Dao of the Five Elements, which accelerated his progress, leading to today's result.

"Evil dragon, return my Spirit Treasure!"

Even though Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva knew clearly that under the Five-Colored Divine Light, there was no possibility of this Buddhist treasure returning to his hands, he still stirred up the wrath of the Wisdom King and could not help but step forward.

In his address, he even shouted "Evil dragon".

Behind him, the Merit Golden Wheel shone brilliantly, flowing with light, and from within it, one after another, bucket-sized Buddhist characters shot out, rising continuously like stars.

Gradually, the six-syllable Buddhist text emerged, brilliant with golden radiance, shining like the great sun; it was none other than the fundamental Dharma Curse of Fomen—the Six-Syllable Mantra.

Each of these six syllables was as large as a star, brilliantly Generating Light, trailing purple and azure, and containing the principles of Fomen and the wonders of the Brahma sect.

"The Six-Syllable Mantra, a Daluo Dharma Spell?"

Fang Longye caught a glimpse of that pure and vast Aura upon the Six-Syllable Mantra, which transcended the Taiyi realm and possessed a kind of Dàluó Zhēnyì.

His heart skipped a beat instantly.

Daluo transcends all; even a mere handwritten note or a curse possesses vast and mighty power.

"Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Me, Hum!"

The Six-Syllable Mantra hung in the air, the sun and moon passing through the sky, bestowing its blessing upon the body of Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva, and instantly, the Brahma sounds grew intense all around.

Seeing him sit in the lotus position, he performed the Lion's Roar and unleashed his Brahma sect divine abilities; in an instant, from his ten fingers, boundless Buddhist light rotated like a wheel, rising slowly and ascending upward.

"Storehouse Womb Demon Subduing Root Seal!"

Within the Buddhist light, a Pure Land was faintly visible, solemn all around, equal and compassionate.

Gold and silver adorned the Bodhi Tree, and golden sand lay at ease in the Merit Pool.

At the very center, all the virtuous men, virtuous women, and the multitude of living beings chanted the Buddha's name in unison, while flowers rained from the sky and Golden Lotus bloomed.

Where the Pure Land resides, the Demon is suppressed.

It sought to sweep away all heresy and evil spirits! "Hmph!"

Fang Longye let out a cold snort and shouted: "Do you think you are the only one who can bestow power and unleash a grand ultimate move?"

He gathered his strength directly and struck out a blow.

Within his palm, various laws of power intertwined, condensing like water ripples, then scattering into lines.

Twisting and layering, rotating like a mountain, like a wheel, like a precious seal, like a Jade Seal...

He pressed it down evenly.

In the center, a dragon head rose, its scales and armor distinct.

Such power possessed the blessing of a Spirit Treasure, the convergence of laws, and the accumulation of his entire mighty strength.

The two collided, and it was as if Mars had crashed into Earth, erupting and causing the void to vanish, illuminating everything.

This was, of course, not the end; after the two sides exchanged a blow, they each employed their own means and engaged in battle, with divine abilities appearing one after another and strange phenomena arising repeatedly.

It was hard to distinguish a winner, and the battle was intense.

Gradually, both sides, having fought until they reached True Fire, could no longer restrain themselves, and their Aura poured out.

This immediately caused Nanzhan Buzhou to tremble, and before it could have any destructive impact on the surroundings, they were actually directly repelled from the present world.

It was because, in the distant past, the great powers of the Human Race, in order to prevent the aftermath of immortals and gods fighting wantonly from ravaging ordinary mortals, had used great Dharma in their ancestral land of Nanzhan Buzhou to open up a hidden realm of space.

Once power exceeding the limit erupted between two warring parties, they would immediately be repelled into this realm of space.

It could be said that this realm of space was a void battlefield opened up by man, allowing those with grudges to fight to the death within.

And previously—

Whether it was Fang Longye, Guoshi Wang Bodhisattva, or the Water Ape Great Sage hiding in the void, they had all been restraining their own Aura.

Their attacks were all restrained and unified; although the power was not diminished, it did not cause much of a stir.

However, having fought until they reached True Fire, they gradually could no longer care about such things. Naturally, there was no way to keep maintaining a state of restrained unity.

Being repelled by Nanzhan Buzhou was, of course, an unavoidable matter.

Thus, they were repelled away from the present world and entered that battlefield specifically provided for powerful immortals and gods to resolve their own grudges.
