Chapter 512: The greatest battle in history!

A golden rainbow streaked across the sky, like a vast river of heaven crashing into the azure giant.

This river of heaven circled the giant twice, binding it tightly.

The monk, dressed in a kasaya, had bulging muscles, and his entire body glowed with a faint golden light, filled with a sense of power.

Compared to the giant formed by the army formation, his figure was like an ant, yet with simple punches and kicks, he could force the giant to retreat repeatedly, and the Coiled Dragon Star Armor on its body was shattered in many places!

"Thanks to His Majesty's grace, allowing you Buddhists to build more temples. Indeed, bald donkeys all deserve to die—"

Huang Huang Qiyuan's voice emerged from within the army formation.

He had always loathed the Buddhist sect, and now that the other side stood with the First Imperial Prince, in his eyes, it was no different from treason.

Naturally, he hated them even more.

"Amitabha."

The River-Suppressing Heavenly King did not look as benevolent as the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King; he had more of the appearance of a wrathful Vajra, filled with majesty.

While throwing punches at the giant before him, he spoke:

"If you want this poor monk dead, you'll have to see if you, Benefactor, have the ability!"

He had become a Saint a hundred years ago. It was precisely because he successfully broke through, giving the Buddhist sect another peak powerhouse, that it aroused the vigilance of the then-Emperor Wencheng, who planned to "exterminate Buddhism"!

In the end, it was the Abbot of Mount Pudu Temple who personally brought a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, heavenly treasures, vast cultivation resources, and various secret Buddhist manuals to Lanling City to appease the monarch's fury.

But even with Mount Pudu Temple showing such a posture, Emperor Wencheng still ordered that the number of temples in the world must not exceed one hundred and eight.

Once this order was issued, a large number of monks were displaced and forced to return to secular life.

Many Buddhist places of cultivation were either annexed or had their lineages directly severed.

The Buddhist sect's influence was thus dealt a heavy blow, and for the next hundred years, its momentum was weak.

This matter started because of the River-Suppressing Heavenly King, and he viewed it as a supreme humiliation to the Buddhist sect!

He was both guilty and angry, and naturally had no good feelings toward the imperial court.

So his strikes at this moment could be called merciless, and he fought with great satisfaction!

Huang Huang Qiyuan had previously allowed the River-Suppressing Heavenly King to strike in order to suppress Qin Qin Mingli, thus losing the initiative and falling into a disadvantage.

However, with the blessing of the Son of Heaven's Dragon Qi sent from Lanling City, he still had a chance to turn defeat into victory.

No longer targeting Qin Qin Mingli, Huang Huang Qiyuan freed his hands to focus on dealing with the River-Suppressing Heavenly King.

Bolts of golden thunder fell like a waterfall, striking the golden long river.

Starlight, like blades, continuously sliced through the long river.

Among natural phenomena, thunder and starlight power were supreme, and the Son of Heaven's Dragon Qi also relied on these two powers to be transmitted, so at this moment, Huang Huang Qiyuan activated 【Heavenly Dryness Divine Micro】, focusing only on utilizing the power of thunder and stars.

The golden long river wrapped around the giant was gradually worn down. Within the long river were countless human figures, like the sands of the Ganges, each figure practicing different Buddhist martial arts moves.

This long river was the manifestation of the River-Suppressing Heavenly King's Dao principles, named—【Ganges Martial Suppression】!

The more Buddhist martial arts there were in this world, the more profound they were.

The more people practiced Buddhist martial arts, and the higher their realms,

the stronger the power of this long river!

This was a river of martial Dao symbolizing Buddhist martial arts!

With a thousand-year heritage, the Buddhist sect was the force with the longest-standing martial Dao heritage in the world; the River-Suppressing Heavenly King was equivalent to attaining the Dao with the help of the Buddhist sect's thousand-year martial arts foundation.

Therefore, when he first broke through back then, his strength and realm were already able to rival the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King who had broken through earlier.

Moreover, his martial Dao ceiling was also the highest in the Buddhist sect's thousand years!

If he could make all martial arts in the world focus on the Buddhist sect, have the vast majority of martial artists in the world practice Buddhist martial arts, and have the Buddhist sect produce a few more Martial Saints,

the River-Suppressing Heavenly King would even have the chance to step above the peak!

This martial Dao long river could attack, defend, seal, heal, and cultivate; it could be said to have infinite wonderful uses.

All power striking the River-Suppressing Heavenly King would be transferred to the long river.

As long as the long river was not exhausted, the Heavenly King's physical body would not perish!

Therefore, Huang Huang Qiyuan directly targeted this martial Dao long river, and both sides consumed each other with the power of Dao principles.

Thunder and starlight fell continuously, rapidly wearing down the figures in the long river.

The River-Suppressing Heavenly King continued to throw punches, and countless figures flew out from his body, merging into that martial Dao long river.

The long river surged, never ceasing.

How could the Buddhist sect's thousand-year foundation be so easily worn away?

The golden long river still firmly bound the azure giant, and the River-Suppressing Heavenly King threw punch after punch, causing the Son of Heaven's Dragon Qi and the army formation to tremble!

On the other side, Wen Wen Ren Zheng and Qin Qin Mingli had already engaged in battle.

Although Qin Qin Mingli was older than Wen Wen Ren Zheng and had a higher seniority, he was a junior in terms of martial arts realm, having broken through to become a Martial Saint only thirty-some years ago, making him the one with the shallowest qualifications among the "Seven Martial Saints."

Wen Wen Ren Zheng, however, had already broken through to become a Saint before the current Son of Heaven ascended the throne, more than twenty years earlier than Qin Qin Mingli.

Because this "God of War" of the Great Lan Dynasty was illustrious and had many battle achievements, there was a faint momentum of him being the "First of the Seven Martial Saints."

But the "Seven Martial Saints" had never had a formal battle among themselves, and Wen Wen Ren Zheng being the "First of the Seven Martial Saints" was only a rumor in the Jianghu.

No force or individual dared to recklessly rank these seven people.

Whether Wen Wen Ren Zheng was truly the strongest Martial Saint, today might be an opportunity for proof!

The golden dragon was surrounded by clouds and mist, with surging water waves.

The clouds and mist suddenly turned into boiling lead and mercury. As thousands of rivers surged wildly, the scales all over the golden dragon's body shot out light, and a tail sweep, as if carrying ten thousand acres of the vast sea, swept horizontally toward Wen Wen Ren Zheng!

Wen Wen Ren Zheng did not dodge or evade, but simply swung a fist with one arm and blasted it out.

The fist edge tore through the long sky, rivers exploded into crystal fragments, and a huge black hole collapsed in the center of the cloud vortex!

The dragon tail collided with the fist aura, thousands of scales collapsed and splashed like a meteor shower, dragon blood burst from the golden dragon's throat, and its entire body was as if struck by lightning.

Boom!!!

Not until the golden dragon flew backward for hundreds of meters did the huge explosive sound spread.

Standing behind Wen Wen Ren Zheng, Li Fei felt that with the other party's punch, the entire world shook!

Wen Wen Ren Zheng's expression was calm; he took a step and appeared above the golden dragon's head as if teleporting.

Li Fei saw clearly that the other party did not have a supernatural power like 【No Distance】, but it was just because the speed was truly too fast.

Crossing the long sky with a human body, it was at least five times the speed of sound!

Wen Wen Ren Zheng stepped down with one foot, stomping on the dragon head; the two horns turned into powder, and the dragon head was a bloody mess.

However, the golden dragon's injuries were not as severe as before; 【Heavenly Dryness Divine Micro】 could distribute power to the most minute details, very much restraining the healing ability of a Ninth-Rank True Dragon.

Often, one move would fundamentally sever the connection between a part of the flesh and the body, forcing Qin Qin Mingli to consume more power to recover.

And although the output of Wen Wen Ren Zheng's punch and kick was stronger than that azure giant, the killing effect caused was not as good as the other party's.

This was why the strongest River-Suppressing Heavenly King would immediately go to entangle Huang Huang Qiyuan and the Heavenly Blue Iron Cavalry, leaving Qin Qin Mingli and the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King to deal with Wen Wen Ren Zheng.

This was a battle plan formulated long ago!

The white light of 【Taiyi Merging Water】 swept over Wen Wen Ren Zheng; this "God of War" was wearing an Eighth-Level Divine Garment.

But under the power of 【Taiyi Merging Water】, this divine garment actually had a tendency to melt into molten iron!

However, Wen Wen Ren Zheng's Martial Saint body was not affected in the slightest.

He stretched his muscles and bones; his blood and Qi were as scorching as the great sun, and his muscles and bones exploded like thunder!

Phantoms of mountain peaks, rivers, and cities condensed from every acupuncture point on his body.

These were all the rivers, mountains, and cities he had once led troops to fight in, besieged, and swept through!

Wen Wen Ren Zheng was hailed as the "God of War," and what he cultivated was naturally the Dao of the Military; his Dao principle was named—【Beacon Fire Extreme Saint】.

This power was mainly used to strengthen Wen Wen Ren Zheng's Martial Saint body.

Leading troops to fight, the more rivers and mountains he stepped on, and the more cities he conquered, the stronger the Martial Saint body!

The Great Ancestor Emperor spent his life on horseback. After conquering the entire Central Plains, the grasslands, the Southern Desert, and the Northern Barbarians, he had some insights and summarized a cultivation method named "Beacon Fire Wolf Smoke Art."

And left a message in it:

"If I could have used this cultivation method as a foundation from the beginning, sweeping across the six directions to attain the Dao, perhaps there would be hope to go further!"

The Great Ancestor Emperor's martial Dao foundation was the "True Dragon Seven Martial Arts," and the Dao principle he achieved had nothing to do with the Military Dao.

He only realized the "Beacon Fire Wolf Smoke Art" after achieving success and fame.

If he had cultivated this method from the beginning, becoming a Martial Saint through the Military Dao, relying on his battle achievements of sweeping across the six directions and conquering the four corners, perhaps there would have been a chance to step above the peak!

Although the Great Ancestor Emperor left such a cultivation method, later royal descendants of the Great Lan Dynasty almost never cultivated the "Beacon Fire Wolf Smoke Art."

For one, royal descendants had few opportunities to lead troops in battle, and there was not much territory left for them to conquer.

For another, the power of the "True Dragon Seven Martial Arts" was still above the "Beacon Fire Wolf Smoke Art." If someone could bear the Son of Heaven's Dragon Qi, ascend to the imperial throne, and simultaneously become a Martial Saint, they could be like the Great Ancestor back then, reaching the peak of Martial Saints in one fell swoop!

Therefore, for generations of royal descendants, as long as their aptitude met the criteria, their first choice was always to cultivate the "True Dragon Seven Martial Arts."

As for Wen Wen Ren Zheng, he was not a member of the royal family and was not qualified to receive the inheritance of the "True Dragon Seven Martial Arts," but because his talent was extremely high and he was loyal, he was bestowed the "Beacon Fire Wolf Smoke Art."

Before becoming the Grand Marshal of the Military, Wen Wen Ren Zheng led troops to the grasslands, fought the Northern Barbarians, and also went deep into the Southern Desert, with illustrious battle achievements, winning every battle!

Only then did he have the name "God of War."

He also became the first person to use the "Beacon Fire Wolf Smoke Art" as a foundation, condense Dao principles, and become a Martial Saint.

Under the blessing of 【Beacon Fire Extreme Saint】, the strength of his Martial Saint body could be called the best in the world!

His Dao principle power did not have as many mysterious changes as other peak powerhouses, able to merge all things, control natural phenomena, and perceive everything.

What 【Beacon Fire Extreme Saint】 brought was extreme offense and defense!

【Taiyi Merging Water】 could even melt an Eighth-Level Divine Garment into molten iron, but it failed to shake Wen Wen Ren Zheng's Martial Saint body.

Just as the golden dragon was stomped down by him, nine more rays of Buddha light descended from the sky.

One ray of Buddha light landed on the injured golden dragon, while the other eight rays of Buddha light targeted Li Fei and the other seven people, as well as Mi Han's natal flying sword.

Mi Han spat out a mouthful of blood, and the natal flying sword let out a mournful cry.

White clouds surged and were dyed golden; within Ji Ji Yifan's 【Cloud Heart Carefree Heaven】, bursts of Sanskrit sounds actually rang out.

Gravel flew, mountains shook, and on the huge mountain in the center of Ban Ban Yanyang's 【Reclaiming Soil Floating Mountain Domain】, a Buddha statue appeared sitting on the peak.

Within the 【Hunyuan Sword Realm】, golden Buddha light and golden sword Qi shone brilliantly, and the great sun and bright moon in the sky were also dyed with a layer of golden brilliance.

Within the sword realm, there were bursts of lingering Sanskrit sounds, and golden lotus flowers bloomed.

Li Fei's heart tightened, discovering that he was gradually losing control of the 【Hunyuan Sword Realm】.

Qin Qin Mingli's 【Taiyi Merging Water】 only wanted to melt his sword realm and turn it into water-attribute power, but the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King actually wanted to directly snatch away his sword realm!

And the other party's methods looked domineering, but in reality, it was like spring rain moistening all things, not causing any harm to Li Fei directly; he couldn't even use the Myriad Blood Pearl to transfer the Dao principle power.

"I thought that by relying on the Myriad Blood Pearl, I could barely trade blows with peak powerhouses, but in the end, I still underestimated the mystery of Dao principles."

Li Fei reflected inwardly.

At the same time, the acupuncture points all over Wen Wen Ren Zheng's body shone brightly, and mountain peaks, rivers, and mountain passes all connected into one piece, like a map of the rivers and mountains of the nation!

The firmament shook, and nine fist auras cut the nine descending rays of Buddha light in half.

Above the sea of clouds, that huge Buddha statue had a compassionate face, and a ray of Buddha light fell again from the vertical eye in its brow.

This time, the Buddha light was like rain, rendering the firmament golden.

Enveloped by the Buddha light, although the martial Dao domains of Li Fei and the others were not at risk of being snatched away, they also became extremely unstable.

A golden wave rolled toward the 【Hunyuan Sword Realm】, but it was Qin Qin Mingli, who had recovered, borrowing the power of the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King, using 【Taiyi Merging Water】 for his own use, and attacking Li Fei again!

A flash of anger crossed Wen Wen Ren Zheng's eyes.

The Buddha-Eye Heavenly King and Qin Qin Mingli were two against one, but they didn't target him directly, instead repeatedly attacking the others, forcing him to save them.

If it were someone else, Wen Wen Ren Zheng might not care, and could even seize the opportunity to make an exchange, using the life of a Grandmaster to trade for a chance to heavily injure Qin Qin Mingli!

But Qin Qin Mingli knew very well who Wen Wen Ren Zheng and the Emperor truly cared about; he knew Wen Wen Ren Zheng couldn't sit by and watch Li Fei be killed by him, so he kept targeting Li Fei.

Boom—

The golden wave was blasted apart by the fist aura, and the splashing monstrous waves were blocked by cities that appeared out of thin air, not a single bit staining Li Fei's 【Hunyuan Sword Realm】.

Wen Wen Ren Zheng summoned with one hand, and seven strands of Sha Qi flew over from afar.

This was the seven thousand-man-level army formations on the plain once again activating Sha Qi to attack.

These seven strands of Sha Qi, possessing the power of Grandmasters, were actually like living creatures in Wen Wen Ren Zheng's hands, circling around him, filled with spirituality.

"Kill—"

With Wen Wen Ren Zheng's order, the seven strands of Sha Qi were like a seventy-thousand-strong army, carrying the aura of golden spears and iron horses, killing toward the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King in the sky!

The Grand Marshal of the Military had the authority to mobilize the troops of the world.

【Beacon Fire Extreme Saint】 was naturally the peak of the Military Dao!

Even if Wen Wen Ren Zheng did not personally preside over the army formations, just remotely controlling the seven strands of Sha Qi still allowed the seven army formations to exert power stronger than before.

"You all go and block the enemy's Imperial Camp Army!"

Wen Wen Ren Zheng transmitted his voice to Li Fei and the others.

Six Grandmasters plus one top-tier True Person, and Li Fei, this anomaly.

In terms of paper combat power, they were definitely stronger than the seven thousand-plus Imperial Camp Army.

But these people had their own thoughts, and those truly willing to fight to the death were probably only two or three.

So Wen Wen Ren Zheng made a prompt decision, having himself control the seven thousand-man-level Imperial Camp Army to deal with the two Martial Saints, and sending Li Fei and the others to block the Imperial Camp Army on the opposite side.

Li Fei did not hesitate to use 【No Distance】 to leave, and the others also scattered away from this peak battlefield.

Several thousand meters away, more than five thousand Imperial Camp cavalry began to charge.

Black Sha Qi connected into one piece, forming a monstrous wave a hundred meters high, rolling toward the north!

These five thousand-plus Imperial Camp soldiers, more than three thousand belonged to the Southern Border Border Army, and the rest were those who had "abandoned darkness for light" from several provinces.

Five thousand-man-level army formations were activated, with a vast momentum.

"Everyone be careful, since the Buddhist sect has made a move, the enemy's combat power is not just this much!"

Ban Ban Yanyang, Deputy Pavilion Master of the Zhige Pavilion, transmitted a reminder to everyone.

After seeing the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King and the River-Suppressing Heavenly King appear, Li Fei knew that the number of peak powerhouses on the enemy side must have a large discrepancy with the pre-battle estimation.

Mount Pudu Temple alone had one Buddha and two Martial Saints.

How could the number of Grandmasters and top-tier True Persons below be small?

You must know, before Qingxu rebelled and the Daluo Sect was heavily injured,

the combined power of the three Daoist sects could only barely suppress Mount Pudu Temple!

Li Fei still took the lead, using the 【No Distance】 supernatural power to intercept in front of the Sha Qi wave first.

The setting sun was like blood; on the plain, a torrent of a thousand cavalry trampled over the grass, and the sound of horse hooves shook the earth until it cracked. The black-armored cavalry lined up like a wall, and the monstrous Sha Qi surged like a sea tide!

The Sha Qi wave looked like it was connected into one piece, but in reality, it was still divided into five parts.

Li Fei targeted one of the army formations, the golden light ball transformed by the 【Hunyuan Sword Realm】 blocked the front and suddenly shone brightly!

Thousands of sword Qi were like a waterfall, following Li Fei's intent, crashing toward the Sha Qi directly in front.

The Imperial Camp Army general leading the front saw this and immediately activated the army formation to form a change:

The black Sha Qi condensed into a blood-colored gang wind, carrying horse neighs and blade whistles, with rotting bones and fishy blood, stirring the dust within a hundred zhang into a vortex!

In an instant, the golden sword tide collided with the blood-colored gang wind, and a thunder-like buzzing tremor rang out between heaven and earth.

The air waves tore through the air, sand and stones flew like bullets, and the earth was shaken with spiderweb-like cracks!

With this move, Li Fei combined 【Infinite Brightness Fire】 with the sword realm, practicing a second Dao strength of the Profound Realm level.

【Hunyuan Golden Palace】 could rapidly absorb the heaven and earth origin Qi, so when Li Fei used the Profound Realm level Dao strength, the heaven and earth power he borrowed was more and stronger than others!

However, the sword Qi was ultimately worn away by the blood-colored gang wind, and the gang wind rolled into the 【Hunyuan Sword Realm】.

Li Fei stepped forward to charge.

With one more 【Sword Sacrifice】 supernatural power, his physical body strength was once again improved, and the Blood Rage limit was raised from 1100 to 1200.

When he attacked Qin Qin Mingli just now, he had entered the "Blood Demon State," consuming 1200 Blood Souls to cast 【Blood Rage】, and then cast the 【Dragon Elephant】 supernatural power.

The extreme "base strength" reached a staggering 3000 units of Blood Rage power, and after the blessing of the Dragon Elephant power, it had reached a 3-fold increase at this moment!

Letting the thousand cavalry charge into his sword realm with the momentum of collapsing mountains and shattering seas, Li Fei held the Ghost-Slaying Blade with both hands, twisted his waist, swung his arms, and swept horizontally forward.

The golden blade aura, carrying a terrifying explosive power of tens of millions of jin, instantly tore through the blood-colored gang wind, broke through the protective Sha Qi, and swept into the Imperial Camp Army within!

The heavy Sha-artifact armor was like paper under this blade aura; golden light flashed, and the thirty-some cavalry at the very front instantly froze.

Blood mist sprayed from the horses' necks, the knights' heads and torsos separated like wheat being harvested, the battle armor shattered like porcelain, and the sound of severed limbs falling to the ground connected into a tide!

A gap appeared in the formation of the thousand cavalry; Li Fei stood in this gap and raised his blade to slash again.

These Imperial Camp soldiers already had low morale, and seeing Li Fei break through the army formation's defense so easily, the rest immediately lost their will to fight.

While activating Sha Qi to protect their bodies, they drove their exotic beast mounts to flee, attempting to rush out of this sword realm.

Li Fei's mind moved, and countless sword Qi circled, forming a wall of sword Qi, blocking in front of these iron cavalry.

He appeared at the rear of the queue with 【No Distance】, slashed down with his blade, tore open the outer Sha Qi, and dismembered more than a dozen Imperial Camp soldiers!

"I am the Marquis of Jing'an; those who surrender will not be killed—"

Li Fei's voice was like thunder, ringing in the ears of these thousand cavalry.

The name of the Marquis of Jing'an was like thunder piercing the ears, and many people were shaken.

"Amitabha, I ask the Marquis of Jing'an to put down the butcher's knife and abandon darkness for light."

A gentle voice suddenly rang out in this small world.

Li Fei looked up and saw a string of Buddha beads breaking into the sword realm.

Breaking out from the inside of a martial Dao domain was very difficult.

But breaking in from the outside was very easy.

This string of Buddha beads was clearly a magic treasure, and as the voice emerged from within, dazzling light bloomed from this string of Buddha beads.

One hundred and eight Buddha statues appeared out of thin air, standing in all four directions. Golden lotus flowers filled the sky, and square-shaped barriers appeared within the 【Hunyuan Sword Realm】.

Pure Land Barrier!

The Buddhist sect's cultivation of the Dao of techniques had many similarities with the Daoist sect, such as advancing step by step from a Profound-Level magic treasure to a Heaven-Level magic treasure, which also required gathering one hundred and eight types of implants, finally forming an array.

The Daoist sect called it the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Array, while the Buddhist sect called it the Pure Land Barrier.

One hundred and eight Buddha statues guarding the Pure Land indicated that the person who made the move was a Great Arhat who had cultivated to the "Zen Fruit Realm"!

The Buddhist sect and the Daoist sect had different titles; the Daoist sect's True Person corresponded to the Buddhist sect's Arhat.

A top-tier True Person was a Great Arhat.

"Sure enough, both Heavenly Kings have arrived; how could the rest of the Buddhist sect's powerhouses not come?"

Li Fei was not surprised that someone intervened, just wanting to know how many powerhouses Mount Pudu Temple had sent to the scene?

Mount Pudu Temple's peak combat power was one Buddha and two Heavenly Kings.

Below that were five Temple-Guarding Vajras and six Great Arhats.

That was five Grandmasters and six top-tier True Persons!

Further down, there were more than twenty Martial Dao Masters and more than a dozen Arhats.

With such a lineup, if they all arrived today, Li Fei and the others would definitely be at a comprehensive disadvantage in terms of high-end combat power!

"This old monk is Jinglian; if the Marquis of Jing'an is willing to turn back, this old monk will implore my Abbot senior brother to personally welcome you into our Buddhist sect to learn supreme wonderful methods."

The gentle voice emerged from the Buddha beads again.

Mount Pudu Temple's seniority was ranked in the order of "True, Suchness, Nature, Sea, Silence, Illumination, Ordinary, Wisdom, Pure, Clean, Realize, Bright, Meet, Constant."

Nowadays, the highest seniority was the "Clean" generation, and the lowest was the "Constant" generation.

So this Jinglian was already one of the people with the highest seniority in Mount Pudu Temple.

"Your Buddhist sect keeps saying compassion is the foundation, yet you aid the tyrant, actively provoke war, and create more slaughter; how hypocritical!"

Li Fei sneered.

He knew these Buddhist great powerhouses were peerless in debate, so he didn't waste words with the other party, directly activating the 【Hunyuan Sword Realm】 to form a counter-clash with the other party's Pure Land Barrier, while simultaneously using 【No Distance】 to arrive in the air, swinging his blade to slash at a Buddha statue.

An Earth-Level magic treasure corresponded to a Peak-Realm Grandmaster.

A Heaven-Level magic treasure corresponded to a Divine-Derivation-Realm Grandmaster.

A Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Great Perfection corresponded to a Standing-Dao-Realm Grandmaster.

At this moment, Jinglian, who attacked Li Fei, had one hundred and eight Buddha statues in his Pure Land Barrier, and his natal Buddha beads were already a Heaven-Level magic treasure, equivalent to a Divine-Derivation-Realm Grandmaster, far higher than Li Fei in realm.

As a result, when the 【Hunyuan Sword Realm】 clashed with his Pure Land Barrier, it was only slightly inferior, and he failed to suppress Li Fei by much.

"Worthy of being the first in history."

Jinglian sighed.

In an instant, one hundred and eight Buddha statues chanted Buddhist scriptures simultaneously, and countless golden characters flew out from within these Buddha statues, connecting with each other in the air, filling the entire Pure Land Barrier.

These scriptures bring peace to the mind and spirit, capable of dissolving the baleful energy and killing intent within one's heart.

Supernatural power—【Sanskrit Sound Pure Land】!

This supernatural power could both influence others' heart and mind, and bless the Pure Land Barrier; the longer the time, the deeper the Buddhist power accumulated.

"Benefactor's obsession is too deep, the karmic fire is hard to extinguish; turn back, for the shore is near!"

Jinglian's voice rang through the two small worlds.

With Sanskrit sounds in his ears, Li Fei remained unmoved; the cold moonlight shone on him, and the killing intent in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.

He slashed a Buddha statue with his blade, the blade edge broke through the Buddha light, shattered countless golden characters, and slashed from the top of the Buddha statue's head all the way past the lotus throne below.

Snap—

After one slash, the Buddha statue turned into golden fragments filling the sky.

"Screw your 'turn back, for the shore is near'!!"

Just as Li Fei was engaging with Mount Pudu Temple's Great Arhat Jinglian, Ban Ban Yanyang and the others also encountered the remaining Imperial Camp Army.

Six Grandmasters, one top-tier True Person, among whom three were Divine-Derivation-Realm Grandmasters, and Mi Han was a top-tier True Person who had completed the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Great Array.

This lineup against four thousand-man-level army formations could be said to have no pressure.

But as soon as the two sides clashed, three figures leaped out from the void and attacked them!

This was someone hiding on an invisible flying magic treasure, suddenly launching a sneak attack.

Fortunately, several people had been on guard long ago, and they held back a lot of their strength when attacking, so they didn't fall for the trick.

The three people who suddenly appeared were all Grandmasters!

One was Hong Zhi, the ancestor of Mount Mount Baituo who escaped that night, a Divine-Derivation-Realm Grandmaster.

One was Yuan Yuan Jingchuan, President of Taiwei University, who was recruited by the First Imperial Prince's maternal clan, a Peak-Realm Grandmaster.

The last one was Wuyan, Mount Pudu Temple's Temple-Guarding Vajra, a Divine-Derivation-Realm Grandmaster.

Although Hong Zhi was at the peak of the Divine-Derivation Realm, his injuries from last time had not yet healed.

Him plus Yuan Yuan Jingchuan and Wuyan, and four thousand-man-level Imperial Camp Army, fighting Ban Ban Yanyang and the others.

Actually, they should have been at a disadvantage.

But Ban Ban Yanyang and the others, knowing that the Buddhist sect had powerhouses still ambushing in the dark, did not dare to strike with full force, so for a while, they fought to a draw.

On the other side of the battlefield, Shi Caiming led a group of Martial Dao Masters and True Persons to join the battle.

They also encountered powerhouses sent by Mount Pudu Temple.

In terms of combat power at the level of Martial Dao Masters and True Persons, the number of people in the rebellion-suppression army was more than twice that of the enemy army.

Even with Mount Pudu Temple's support, the rebellion-suppression army still occupied the upper hand in terms of the number of powerhouses.

As soon as the two sides clashed, Shi Caiming keenly sensed the key to the battle situation.

"To cover their tracks, Mount Pudu Temple must have used large flying magic treasures to bring a small number of elites here, so our main force is still occupying the upper hand!"

"The key lies in the peak combat power at the level of Grandmasters and top-tier True Persons; Wen Wen Ren Zheng borrowed seven Imperial Camp Army, we have fewer people here, plus Mount Pudu Temple's peak powerhouses..."

Shi Caiming made a prompt decision, immediately calling several Martial Dao Masters to break away from the battle group and rush toward the direction where Li Fei and the others were.

As President of Wu'an University, the only person he could command on the battlefield was originally Qin Zhen.

However, before the battle started, Li Fei had let Master Master Jiming of Lei Chan Temple, the loose cultivator Yu Lei, and Wang Yilong, Sect Master of the Longhu Gate, all follow Shi Caiming.

Besides that, Shen Zhen, a True Person from the Nightmare Sect, also brought people to participate in the battle.

The Qing Province where the Nightmare Sect was located was not among the six provinces ordered by the imperial court; this time they sent people to participate in the battle purely for the friendship of Li Fei returning the Dream-Like Order back then.

Shen Zhen also followed by Shi Caiming's side.

She was a True Person, not good at close combat, and her physical body was weak, so following by the side of Martial Dao powerhouses on the battlefield was the best choice.

Following Shi Caiming's order, four Martial Dao Masters and one True Person followed him out of the battle group.

Xiao Xiao Ruixing on the other side also realized the key to this battle.

The rebellion-suppression army was still occupying the upper hand in the levels of ordinary soldiers, martial artists, and Dao-Foundation-Realm powerhouses, with more people.

If it weren't for the Buddhist sect suddenly appearing with two Martial Saints, the enemy's main force would have been shattered long ago!

Now that their own main force was still suppressing the opposite side, they could fully extract manpower to help the powerhouses at the level of Martial Dao Masters and True Persons fight.

So Xiao Xiao Ruixing also quickly broke away from the battle group with Xiao Tao and several powerhouses of the Xiao family.

His goal was the same as Shi Caiming's, both going to help Li Fei's side.

Once that side was shattered, the first thing affected would be the battlefield of the peak powerhouses!

But before the two sides could arrive, a group of people had already killed their way over from that side.

It was precisely the thousand-plus Imperial Camp soldiers who had been intercepted by Li Fei earlier.

With Jinglian blocking Li Fei, forming a counter-clash with the Pure Land Barrier and the 【Hunyuan Sword Realm】, this Imperial Camp Army easily killed their way out.

The order they received was to disperse the enemy's main army!

Dealing with peak powerhouses, these Imperial Camp soldiers had no will to fight.

But charging into battle and sweeping across the battlefield, this was the Imperial Camp Army's specialty!

"Stop them—"

Shi Caiming frowned, immediately leading people to change direction to intercept this Imperial Camp Army.

The Imperial Camp Army's strongest point was not dueling with powerhouses, but sweeping across the battlefield.

Once this Imperial Camp Army was allowed to kill their way into the main army, their own main army would very likely be shattered!

Shi Caiming's injuries had not healed, and using his Martial Dao domain wouldn't last long, so he could only use supernatural powers to fight the enemy.

Asking him to block this Imperial Camp Army in his current state was a bit difficult.

Fortunately, there were several people following him.

After the thousand-man-level army formation was opened, Sha Qi also had a suppressive effect on supernatural powers, just not as strong as the suppression of a Martial Dao domain or array.

So Shi Caiming, leading Qin Zhen and the others, was enough to clash with the thousand-man-level army formation.

Xiao Xiao Ruixing on the other side saw this and immediately led Xiao Tao, a Martial Dao Master consultant of the Xiao family, and a True Person of the Xiao family to rush over, wanting to join forces with Shi Caiming and the others to solve this Imperial Camp Army first.

Iron cavalry tore through the wilderness, Sha Qi like a dragon!

Ten powerhouses collided head-on.

The golden long river still wrapped around the azure giant, countless figures were worn away in the long river, but there were endless figures being born in the long river.

Above the firmament, bolts of starlight and thunder fell.

And there was Buddha light mixed in, simultaneously landing on the River-Suppressing Heavenly King and the azure giant.

This was the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King also making a move on this battlefield!

His Dao principle was named—【Ten Thousand Lights Return to Buddha】.

Able to convert all things with Buddha light, making them convert to the Buddhist sect!

The Buddha light shot from his Buddha eye could even turn others' martial Dao domains into his own Buddha domain!

Besides that, this Buddha light could suppress, heal, and also had various wonderful uses.

The Buddha-Eye Heavenly King sat high above the sea of clouds, standing on the palm of the Buddha statue, while assisting Qin Qin Mingli with Buddha light to firmly entangle Wen Wen Ren Zheng, while using Buddha light to help the River-Suppressing Heavenly King deal with the Heavenly Blue Iron Cavalry.

All three Martial Saints knew very well that Wen Wen Ren Zheng, possessing 【Beacon Fire Extreme Saint】, was hard to kill, so they all placed the breakthrough point on the Heavenly Blue Iron Cavalry side.

Qin Qin Mingli transformed into a Ninth-Rank True Dragon, and his life-saving ability was also top-tier!

He did not seek to defeat Wen Wen Ren Zheng, just joining forces with the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King to firmly entangle the other party.

And on the other side, the strongest River-Suppressing Heavenly King, relying on the initiative advantage at the beginning, had already occupied the upper hand.

Now with the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King assisting, he didn't give Huang Huang Qiyuan and the Heavenly Blue Iron Cavalry half a chance!

Even with the blessing of the Son of Heaven's Dragon Qi, Huang Huang Qiyuan was responding very reluctantly under the joint attack of the two Martial Saints.

His Military Dao cultivation was not at the "Commander Level"; once in the army formation, if the number of deaths among the 12,000 Heavenly Blue Iron Cavalry exceeded 4,000, the ten-thousand-man-level army formation could not continue to be maintained, and he would not be able to control the army formation to condense Dao principles.

At that time, the peak combat power on the battlefield would be three against one!

If it were only the River-Suppressing Heavenly King alone, wanting to kill the 4,000 Heavenly Blue Iron Cavalry in the army formation, he would also have to pay a great price and consume a lot of cultivation.

Not to mention the other party had the blessing of the Son of Heaven's Dragon Qi, making it even harder to fight.

However, the River-Suppressing Heavenly King was not fighting alone; besides the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King, he had helpers:

When Jinglian and Wuyan appeared on that battlefield, someone also joined this battlefield.

One person swung his blade to slash out ten thousand waves, the blade momentum like a deep abyss of the angry sea.

One person held a spear and thrust toward the head of the azure giant, the spear momentum driving thousands of dragon shadows, the roar shaking the sky.

One person struck with a palm like pushing a mountain, the palm center evolving a Buddha kingdom, a glazed Pure Land...

Cao Cao Xinghan, Southern Border Provincial Military Commander!

Four Temple-Guarding Vajras of Mount Pudu Temple!

A total of five Grandmasters appeared.

Two Peak-Realm, two Divine-Derivation-Realm, one Standing-Dao-Realm!

After these five people appeared, heavy mountain shadows carrying thousands of rivers descended from the sky, crashing layer by layer onto the Coiled Dragon Star Armor of the azure giant.

In the end, countless high mountains and rivers all converged into one sword light!

After one sword, a hole appeared in the Coiled Dragon Star Armor!

Before the hole, a gray-robed man holding a three-foot green blade stood in the air.

Hook-Deep Sword Master—Bai Chen!

He was surrounded by clouds and mist, mountain shadows and rivers overlapped, his sword intent was extremely heavy, actually causing the surrounding space to distort!

This was a phenomenon where the martial Dao domain was condensed and compressed to the extreme.

Peak-Realm expanded the coverage and power of the martial Dao domain.

Divine-Derivation-Realm derived new changes and mysteries with various supernatural powers.

Standing-Dao-Realm was to highly compress and condense the martial Dao domain, covering the surface of the body, multiplying its power.

Having successively slashed away his Response Body and Report Body, Bai Chen's final Dharma Body had already broken through the Divine-Derivation Realm and stepped into the Standing-Dao Realm!

He turned his head and glanced at Wen Wen Ren Zheng on the other battlefield, his eyes complex.

According to the initial plan, his goal of "slashing his own body to attain the Dao" was the "God of War" Wen Wen Ren Zheng!

The other party was a Martial Saint and cultivated the Military Dao, with heavy killing sins, even more than those two demonic Martial Saints.

Bai Chen's "slashing his own body to attain the Dao" had its core supernatural power coming from the Buddhist sect.

So it not only required the target's strength and realm to be as high as possible, but also required a causal connection and for the target's karmic obstacles to be sufficient.

So Wen Wen Ren Zheng became the most suitable target.

According to Bai Chen's plan, he should have been successively slashed by Wen Wen Ren Zheng for two clones, and finally, he would join forces with the others to slay Wen Wen Ren Zheng with his Dharma Body, thereby breaking through to the Martial Saint realm in one fell swoop!

But his Response Body and Report Body had already been slashed away by others first, causing Bai Chen's plan to fall short of success.

His final Dharma Body should have been at the peak of the Standing-Dao Realm, or even the realm of a half-step Martial Saint!

But now it had only just barely broken through to the Standing-Dao Realm.

Withdrawing his gaze, Bai Chen suddenly turned and flew away.

The River-Suppressing Heavenly King, stepping on the long river, frowned slightly.

According to the plan, Bai Chen should have joined the siege of the Heavenly Blue Iron Cavalry with the others, but he didn't know why the other party didn't follow the plan.

However, even with one less Standing-Dao-Realm Grandmaster, the situation of Huang Huang Qiyuan and the Heavenly Blue Iron Cavalry was still very difficult.

The River-Suppressing Heavenly King attacked, the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King contained, and five Grandmasters assisted!

Even with the blessing of the Son of Heaven's Dragon Qi, Heavenly Blue Iron Cavalry began to die in the army formation one after another.

Fighting like this, the collapse of the ten-thousand-man-level army formation was only a matter of time.

Mount Pudu Temple hadn't even brought out all its combat power, and the rebellion-suppression army was already on the verge of defeat.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, another thick golden thunderbolt carrying infinite starlight descended from the sky.

The target of this thunderbolt was the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King located at the highest point of the entire battlefield.

Huang Huang Qiyuan once again used 【Heavenly Dryness Divine Micro】 to borrow the power of the Son of Heaven's Dragon Qi to drop the thunderbolt, and this strike had been accumulating power for a long time.

As the thunderbolt fell, strands of extremely minute power suddenly erupted from within the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King's body.

These powers were those that Huang Huang Qiyuan had quietly lurked within the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King's body relying on 【Heavenly Dryness Divine Micro】 before.

"Good means."

The Buddha-Eye Heavenly King praised.

His Buddha light also had the ability to perceive, yet he still failed to detect these lurking powers.

The golden thunderbolt struck the huge Buddha statue behind him.

The Buddha statue shook violently, covered in cracks, and bolts of lightning, like little golden snakes, covered the Buddha statue's entire body.

The Buddha-Eye Heavenly King still had a compassionate face, hands pressed together.

His eyes closed, and a vertical eye constructed of Buddha light appeared in the center of his brow; infinite Buddha light shone, landing on the Buddha statue.

The golden lightning covering the Buddha statue's entire body was soon "converted" one by one and incorporated into the Pure Land.

"Hmm?"

The Buddha-Eye Heavenly King's closed eyes suddenly opened, his gaze solemn.

Ripples suddenly appeared in the space around the Buddha statue.

Immediately after, heaven and earth were inverted!

The Buddha statue behind the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King turned upside down, with the lotus throne on top.

Below, stars were shining, and above was a boundless sea surface.

"Mirror Sea Heaven, Starry Earth, Heaven and Earth Inverted Five Elements Array?"

The Buddha-Eye Heavenly King muttered.

"Good insight."

An ethereal voice rang out in this heaven and earth.

Even though he had been tricked and was in the great array, the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King remained calm and composed:

"Unexpectedly, True Monarch Xuanxin has also come."

True Monarch Xuanxin, one of the three Daoist sects, Sect Master of the Shangqing Sect!

This True Monarch was proficient in arrays and was hailed as the number one person in arrays in the current world!

From the Shangqing Sect to the Baifeng Plain was thousands of miles apart; even if True Monarch Xuanxin had the heart to help, it was impossible to arrive so promptly.

That he could make a move now to trap the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King with an array meant he had been waiting on the sidelines long ago, waiting for the best opportunity.

In today's battle, not only had the Buddhist sect entered the game long ago, but the Daoist sect had also entered the game long ago!

Following True Monarch Xuanxin's move, there were already four Martial Saints and one True Monarch on the Baifeng Plain.

From ancient times to the present, there had never been a battle with so many peak powerhouses participating simultaneously.

This is the greatest battle in history!
