Chapter 1060

After losing his memory, he joined the Great Yuan and was appointed Chief Patron.

Although subsequently struck repeatedly by the Qinglong Society, no one else could pose a threat to him.

In this foreign land of Great Ming, he became utterly invincible.

Aside from his recent battle with Liu Sheng Wuji, no one could stand against him.

Thus, though this strange man appeared formidable, he was not taken seriously by him.

The strange man sat cross-legged atop Miejue Shitai, his three thousand black locks wild and disheveled.

Around his neck hung a string of prayer beads; his entire attire was bizarre and incongruous, like a lay monk.

Though the words of Master Changsheng were impolite, his address held no major flaw.

The strange man showed no anger at this title; instead, his disciples within Xue Damo's snow-capped mountain interior grew furious.

Especially the hot-tempered Hui Neng, who erupted in curses:

"What demon are you, to stare blankly at the Ancestor Damo?"

"Damo?"

Master Changsheng and Liu Sheng Wuji both found this absurd.

In the Nine Provinces, there is also a Damo.

For instance, in the imperial dynasties of Great Song and Great Ming, the Yunzhou Shaolin temples are said to have inherited teachings from Damo.

Even the famed Seventy-Two Supreme Shaolin Techniques were passed down by Damo.

And in Yunzhou of the Nine Provinces, there is also a Shaolin temple.

It is further rumored that the Ancestor Damo left behind the Yuan-level Maha Wuliang within it.

Master Changsheng's entire body of knowledge was, in part, influenced by this Yuan-level Maha Wuliang.

Yet in no imperial dynasty or region of the Nine Provinces has anyone ever truly seen Damo.

By rights, martial artists of the Nine Provinces cultivate beyond mortal limits, their lifespans uncountable.

Even Master Changsheng does not know how many years he has lived.

Liu Sheng Wuji, an elder sword saint of You Dongying, is unknown even to his own people in age.

Yet neither Master Changsheng nor Liu Sheng Wuji has ever laid eyes upon the Ancestor Damo.

The Ancestor Damo is more enigmatic and alluring than the divine abbot of Yunzhou.

Now, this Damo, never seen in the Nine Provinces, has appeared in this foreign land of Great Ming?

"Indeed! I am the monk Damo, come from Tianzhu, sent by the Buddha to spread the Dharma to the Eastern Lands.

I heard that my few disciples have spread my teachings far and wide across Tianyu Shenzhou.

From Dajiangnanbei, there are no fewer than three thousand temples.

I am deeply gratified!"

It seems this Ancestor Damo is truly devoted to proselytizing.

Having just been freed from his seal, he was already boasting to strangers about his disciples' missionary success.

"Pah!"

Master Changsheng refused to accept this Damo, spitting in contempt:

"You lay monk have no shame, daring to call yourself Damo."

In a certain sense, Master Changsheng and the Yunzhou Ancestor Damo share a lineage of transmission.

Now, this monk claiming to be Damo filled Master Changsheng with particular rage.

Just as he was about to speak, he noticed the seven-colored rainbow-glowing Tian Xiang Doukou on the Ancestor Damo's forehead.

"So! You've taken the Tian Xiang Doukou.

Boy, hand over the Tian Xiang Doukou, and I might spare your life."

Even knowing this man to be the Ancestor Damo, Master Changsheng looked down on him.

After all, the overall power of this world pales greatly compared to the Nine Provinces.

Even if this Damo is the true Damo of this world, so what?

It would be perfect—I could slay a Damo and boast of it upon returning to the Nine Provinces.

Liu Sheng Wuji, too, had seen the Tian Xiang Doukou and could not help speaking up:

"Ancestor Damo, if you give this Tian Xiang Doukou to this old man,

I shall rid you of this evil god."

This You Dongying elder was cunning—he appeared to be demanding the Tian Xiang Doukou, but was in fact declaring his stance.

He signaled that he was not aligned with Master Changsheng and could serve as an ally.

"You clever Liu Sheng Wuji—you truly seek death!"

Master Changsheng flew into a rage and roared:

"After I slay this demon monk and take the Tian Xiang Doukou, I'll kill you."

As he spoke, Master Changsheng immediately used the Yi Tian Shen Jue to draw in the heavenly and earthly qi within a hundred li, enveloping the snow-capped peak in layers.

This battle—he would let no one leave alive.

"So you two only want the Tian Xiang Doukou?"

Just as Master Changsheng was about to strike with overwhelming force,

the Ancestor Damo suddenly plucked the Tian Xiang Doukou from his forehead and placed it in his palm.

"Since you want it so badly, I'll keep it to no use—take it!"

Saying this, the Ancestor Damo truly tossed the Tian Xiang Doukou out.

"Hah! Wise of you—I'll spare your life."

Master Changsheng was overjoyed at the prospect of immortality and immediately withdrew the celestial and terrestrial qi, forming a colossal palm to seize the Tian Xiang Doukou.

"Red Flame Liusheng Wuji!"

Liusheng Wuji also coveted the Tian Xiang Doukou and would never let it slip through his fingers.

Seeing the Tian Xiang Doukou thrown out by Xue Damo, Master Changsheng once again used his vast celestial and terrestrial qi to seize it.

There was no time to summon the grand technique Red Flame Liusheng Wuji Sword Twenty-Three.

Without hesitation, he channeled all his sword intent and unleashed another ultimate technique.

Countless flames erupted from within Liusheng Wuji's body, rapidly gathering and coalescing around him into the shape of a You Dongying blade.

The You Dongying blade, enveloping Liusheng Wuji at its core, slashed violently toward the giant palm formed of celestial and terrestrial qi.

This slash was not only terrifying in momentum.

It fused Liusheng Wuji's ancestral Red Flame Divine Art with his own cultivated sword intent, refined over countless years.

This slash, though not capable of splitting heaven and earth,

could still make gods and demons flee at its strike!

Indeed, Liusheng Wuji's technique, Red Flame Liusheng Wuji, cleaved through Master Changsheng's palm with a single stroke.

The flames that had formed the You Dongying blade then exploded outward in all directions.

They shattered the celestial and terrestrial qi forming the giant palm, scattering it completely and rendering it shapeless.

"Bold! Liusheng Wuji, you seek death!"

Master Changsheng roared in fury—how could he allow the Tian Xiang Doukou to be snatched from his grasp?

Instantly, he activated the World-Ending Demon Body, summoning a demonic god's phantom behind him.

This demonic god's phantom towered several times higher than the one previously seen atop Tianchi Peak.

It nearly reached from earth to heaven, slightly taller than ordinary snow-capped peaks.

"Die!"

Master Changsheng bellowed, thrusting the demonic god's phantom forward with a crushing aerial punch aimed at Liusheng Wuji.

Along its path, cracks appeared continuously in the air.

The punch had fractured the very space of this realm.

The power of this punch was evident.

If Liusheng Wuji still sought the Tian Xiang Doukou, he would surely be struck by this punch.

But without invoking Red Flame Liusheng Wuji Sword Twenty-Three, Liusheng Wuji's physical body could not possibly withstand Master Changsheng's lethal blow.

"Damn! This bastard is truly unbearable."
