Chapter 385
"Even if your Dao Heart is without a trace, what of it? Watching you burn your Primordial Spirit power, you won't be able to hold on for long, right?"
Rulai saw the traces of Tang An burning her Primordial Spirit, but he was not afraid.
Tang An chuckled, "To kill you, it is enough."
She did not summon the Qingping Sword again, but instead summoned the Merit Golden Brick.
If this golden brick had previously been just a powerful treasure for physical attacks, then at this moment, it was a Post-Heaven Merit Dharma Treasure. Its power was sufficient to assist Tang An in slaying Rulai.
"Condense!"
In Tang An's hand, the Merit Golden Brick transformed from the shape of a brick into a long golden sword.
The sword was three feet seven inches long and about three inches wide; it belonged to the metal element and focused on killing and conquest.
Seeing this, Rulai had no intention of countering; instead, he chanted words, causing six streaks of milky-white light to appear around his body.
As the light faded, surrounding Rulai were six young monk children who looked to be only seven or eight years old.
If Tang An wanted to kill Rulai, she would inevitably have to kill the children first.
"It seems that 'unloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust' are no longer enough to praise you; now, you have even discarded your face entirely."
"Amituofo."
Rulai did not get angry, "They are my personal protectors; it is only right and proper for them to protect this seat."
Tang An chuckled, "One moment you say mortals are like ants, the next you find six children to act as your protectors."
"Rulai, you truly never fail to disappoint."
Rulai looked straight into Tang An's eyes, a hint of provocation appearing. "Do you intend to kill innocent children?"
"They are Buddha-sons from a young age; their ancestors, including themselves, have all performed many good deeds and accumulated merit, which is why they have the opportunity to serve as my protectors."
"Do you want your hands stained with the blood of good children? They have never done any evil; they should not die in vain."
Tang An knew that Rulai was using moral kidnapping to delay time.
But she herself was almost at her end, so why bother with morality or lack thereof?
"Since they are people of the Buddhist sect, and since they are your protectors, Rulai, they can only be viewed as my enemies."
"Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to oneself."
"Since Rulai Fozu wants them to die, I will just fulfill your wish." As Tang An raised her hand, the golden brick sword had already finished charging its power.
Just as Tang An was about to deliver the killing blow, the Universe Silk arrived by her side, covering her eyes.
Nezha's figure flashed past her, "I said, I am willing to be the sharpest blade in your hand."
The red silk of the Universe Silk swayed and flew in the sky, setting off Tang An's peerless beauty.
When Tang An took off the Universe Silk, Nezha had already engaged Rulai, using a fire lotus formed from the Six Ding Divine Fire to swallow those children and Rulai together.
Rulai could rely on the Purple Gold Alms Bowl to protect himself, but he could not look after those six little monks.
Just because Nezha was using the Six Ding Divine Fire, even he had to treat it as a formidable enemy.
Even if he used the Purple Gold Alms Bowl to protect the six little monks, their mortal bodies would still spontaneously combust due to the ultra-high temperature of the Six Ding Divine Fire.
Therefore, no matter what, those little monks were doomed to die.
"Nezha." Tang An returned the Universe Silk to him, "Rulai, leave him to me."
She did not say a word of thanks to Nezha, because between them, there was no need for thanks.
Likewise, she also knew that Nezha would understand her. After all, for an enemy, one must take revenge personally to vent one's hatred.
"Hmm." Nezha did not say more and flew away with the Universe Silk.
He knew that the Universe Silk could no longer protect Tang An. So he left without hesitation, just to ensure that after coming to help her, he would not hold her back.
At this point, Rulai had no more high-level tricks. And Tang An still showed no signs of exhaustion.
"You cannot kill me." Rulai still firmly believed that the Heavenly Dao would intervene.
And sure enough, the thunder clouds in the sky condensed into an inky black, and the Heavenly Dao could descend with Heavenly Punishment at any time to stop Tang An.
Tang An spread her hands, her body radiating brilliant light, with the golden sword in front and the Seven Treasure Tree behind, blooming with golden lotuses across the sky.
While she was charging her power with all her might, she had to delay the time for his power to charge.
Likewise, Rulai was also charging his full power, so he tolerated Tang An's delay.
"You knew that Kong Xuan had long recognized me, so you calculated that he would definitely go to help me during the Lion Camel Ridge tribulation. So you asked Zhunti to come forward and block Kong Xuan from reinforcing me."
"Forcing Kong Xuan and Wutian to stand against Zhunti, laying the fuse for Zhunti's future death, thereby strengthening your plan to replace Zhunti Saint's position."
"Secondly, you lured the Outer Realm Demon Race into the game, colluding with them and acting in cahoots. Using this to scheme against and kill my closest kin, making me completely fall into the demonic path and lose control."
"Thus, you lost the chess piece that threatened you the most. Not only could you rightfully slay the Destined One who had fallen into the demonic path, but you could also ensure that all the merit from my Eighty-One Tribulations would belong entirely to the Buddhist sect."
"It seems that regarding the Saint-entry plan I mentioned to you before, you only borrowed the key information, but never truly wanted to cooperate with me."
"Rulai, oh Rulai, you truly are a good opponent."
"To be able to drag such an opponent to hell, I, Tang An, have no regrets!"
With words finished, the power was charged.
For this strike, she used up all the power of burning her Primordial Spirit. After one strike, she would have no strength left to fight.
At the same time, Rulai also finished charging his power.
"Ten Thousand Buddhas, Worship!"
From behind Rulai, a seated golden body appeared, sitting on the earth and reaching the sky. Its eyes were like the sun and moon, hands forming a Buddha seal, striking a palm toward Tang An.
That palm was so large it seemed like the nine heavens falling toward the earth, its breadth immeasurable. It also seemed that although it was as large as the sky, it was condensed into one point, heading straight for Tang An alone.
Its palm tore through the space between heaven and earth, causing space to condense, distort, and shatter. Its palm force also contained the origin power of Lingshan, as well as the law power of his enlightenment on the Great Dao.
Tang An did not dodge or avoid, her hands forming seals, the golden sword in front of her transforming from one sword into ten thousand, ten thousand into a hundred million, and a hundred million back into one.
The sword broke through the thunder clouds, illuminating the earth like daylight. Its formidable power also contained all of Tang An's insights into the Great Dao over two lifetimes.
Even when Rulai's palm print attacked in front of her, it was as if it had fallen into deep water, infinitely slowed down.
"This sword has not yet been named, and the sword move has not been named either."
"Forget it, even if I named it, I wouldn't be able to use it."
As Tang An raised her eyes, only determination remained.
"Slay!"
One sword, one palm, one golden body, one lotus.
The sword and palm intersected.
With a "hum," heaven and earth shook, reaching straight to the Thirty-Three Heavens and the Eighteen Levels of Hell.
The golden body and the lotus collided, causing heaven and earth to lose color, leaving only endless golden light. Afterward, within the range of the golden light, many black circular holes appeared, distorting space like whirlpools.
Whether Buddha, immortal, demon, or ghost, everyone on Lingshan stopped and looked toward that world-shaking battle.
"Hum~"
"Hum~"
"Hum~"
Bursts of air explosions rippled out; Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Saint Nuwa, Saint Fuxi, and Saint Houtu all observed this battle that was nearly destructive to heaven and earth.
If this energy exploded, how much destructive power would it cause?
Even a Saint would not dare to let this energy explode at will.
Houtu rotated the Six Paths Disk to protect the earth.
Taishang Laojun took action, using the Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda to forcibly seal that power.
The phantom images of Nuwa and Fuxi appeared in mid-air.
"Throw."
Nuwa took action, tearing through the sky and opening a crack to the Outer Domain, allowing Taishang Laojun to throw this energy into the Outer Domain.
And the Heavenly Dao, which had been playing chess against Tongtian Jiaozhu and Taishang Laojun, took action at this moment.
It wanted to forcibly take Rulai away to save his life.
"Heavenly Dao!"
"You dare!"
Tang An had no time to care why her all-out strike was being dissipated by the intervention of the Saints.
What she cared about and was anxious about was that today, no matter what, she had to kill Rulai!
"Disciple, do not panic."
Tongtian Jiaozhu appeared, determined not to hide his skills anymore.
"Since the Heavenly Dao has already intervened, how can I, your master, be missing from a battle against the Heavenly Dao?"
