Chapter 1066

"Master, it's not our fault—we didn't know what happened."

The monk's face was filled with terror.

No one knew better than these disciples how terrifying the Buddha's Palm of the Tathagata truly was.

It seemed the Buddha's Palm of the Tathagata paled greatly compared to the world-destroying palm just unleashed by Master Changsheng.

But the Buddha's Palm of the Tathagata didn't merely annihilate body and spirit.

It could also open the eighteen layers of hell and cast enemies into the Avici Hell, forever denying them reincarnation.

This Buddha's Palm of the Tathagata was incomparable to the ordinary mortal martial arts bearing the same name.

Thus, the faces of these disciples were twisted between terror and pleading.

"Damn fool…"

Master Xue Damo could only curse, helplessly shifting his attack angle again.

This time, he appeared to strike downward from above, aiming to bypass the disciples entirely.

In truth, his other hand unleashed another palm strike—suddenly emerging from the ground, it surged toward the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen.

"Master…"

Yet for all his cleverness, his hidden enemy was no fool.

They had anticipated his intent in advance and split the disciples into two groups.

One group blocked the sky, the other perfectly surrounded the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen on the ground.

If Master Xue Damo pressed his attack on the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, his own disciples would be the first to perish—no escape possible.

"Damn it…"

Master Xue Damo was furious, yet puzzled—how could this hidden enemy guess his thoughts so precisely?

At this moment, there was no time to ponder further: the golden light at Master Changsheng's third eye had shrunk to a tiny tail, still clinging to his brow.

Clearly, the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen was about to succeed!

"Enough. If not I, then who? Hui Neng, Ni Zongchi, Tan Lin—rest in peace!

After this, I shall come to retrieve you and bring you to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."

Master Xue Damo knew hesitation was no longer an option; he spoke to the three disciples surrounding the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen.

Then, amid their terrified, helpless screams, he unleashed the Buddha's Palm of the Tathagata.

"No, Master…"

Hui Neng and the other two screamed in agony.

Though their cultivation was high, they had not the slightest chance to resist Master Xue Damo's Buddha's Palm of the Tathagata.

They were instantly obliterated—body and spirit destroyed.

"Demon, perish."

Master Xue Damo abandoned all restraint and unleashed full force against the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen.

The other group, including Hui Ke, met the same fate.

"What a heartless monk—to kill your own beloved disciples so casually."

As the Buddha's Palm of the Tathagata descended from all directions, overwhelming and dense,

the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen had no choice but to abandon her final step—her finger still pressed against Master Changsheng's brow,

while her other hand activated the Six Demonic Crossings to counter the Buddha's Palm.

The Six Demonic Crossings were the collective name for Six Divine Arts: Death Crossing, Snow Crossing, Scripture Crossing, Luo Shixin Crossing, Rebirth Crossing, and Maha Wuliang Crossing.

Among them, Maha Wuliang Crossing was in fact the Earth-Rank Maha Wuliang.

But Master Xue Damo had once, in the Wooden Man Alley, used his own Yuan-Rank Maha Wuliang to ambush the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen.

Thus, this time, the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen did not use Maha Wuliang Crossing.

Yet even with only the other five crossings and her profound cultivation,

despite the Buddha's Palm of the Tathagata blanketing the sky and earth, its palm prints dense as rain,

she held firm without a single breach, continuing her final effort to draw in the golden light at Master Changsheng's brow.

"Damn it! Stop! Cease this at once!"

Master Xue Damo was furious—yet since the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen refused to use Maha Wuliang Crossing, and his power here was not at full strength, he could do nothing to stop her.

Though the Buddha's Palm of the Tathagata roared with grandeur, it could not break through her Five Demonic Crossings.

"Heh! Bald monk, without Maha Wuliang Crossing, you can't touch me, can you?"

The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen was delighted—her fury from being ambushed by Master Xue Damo in the Wooden Man Alley ranked second only to being poisoned by Master Changsheng.

Seeing Master Xue Damo helpless and enraged, she was overjoyed.

"You truly think I have no way to defeat you?"

Master Xue Damo had unleashed countless palms—all blocked by the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen's Five Demonic Crossings.

Now, seeing her smiling face and the golden light on the verge of vanishing, his expression turned icy.

852 Does he have the key?

"What are you going to do? Lose and start cheating?"

Seeing Master Xue Damo's expression, the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen felt something was wrong.

"Hmph! Demon, if I don't subdue you today, what face will I have before the world?"

Master Xue Damo snorted, suddenly raising one hand toward the sky.

Instantly, invisible forces surged from all directions toward his palm.

These forces varied—some weak, some profound, some thin, some thick, each different.

Yet mysteriously, each bore a thread, stretching far into the distance.

"Well played, Xue Damo, you actually violated the prohibition and used the power of faith.

Do you know that if this power of faith is used, those with poor health and weak constitutions would be killed by you?"

Though these powers were invisible, the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen could see them at a glance.

Her face immediately changed drastically, and she questioned Patriarch Xue Damo directly.

"The world is full of suffering and worry. My Buddha is merciful. I merely wished to deliver them sooner, to send them to the Pure Land of Bliss.

Besides, you evil demon, you are obstinate and unrepentant.

These faithful followers helping me destroy you is truly a boundless merit."

Questioned by the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, Patriarch Xue Damo did not blush or pant, and directly threw out a string of grand principles, not feeling the slightest guilt.

"You are currently on a remote livestream, you know! Aren't you afraid of people learning your true face?"

The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen asked.

"Hmph! This projection, I turn it on when I want, and off when I want.

The foolish commoners of the world, whatever I want them to know, that is all they will know."

Patriarch Xue Damo was completely unconcerned, even calling the faithful followers foolish commoners outright.

"Haha! What foolish commoners indeed. So the Fomen's Great Master Xue Damo actually calls his followers foolish commoners — that truly opens my eyes!"

Just then, beside the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, a streak of ten-thousand-year profound ice suddenly appeared.

Not only did this profound ice appear abruptly, at its center there was faintly a human shadow.

The moment he appeared, above the ten-thousand-li high sky, frost suddenly filled the air.

The power of faith that had been continuously drawn by Patriarch Xue Damo was actually frozen by this frost.

"Who are you?"

Patriarch Xue Damo's face changed. He had never expected that the power of faith, such a unique force, could actually be frozen?

Who exactly was this person?

How could his cultivation be so unfathomably profound?

"A mere nobody, Seeing Di Shitian, the chief servant under the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society."

The newcomer was none other than Seeing Di Shitian, one of the guest ministers of the Qinglong Society!

He was quite interesting, not announcing his identity as a guest minister, but instead saying he was the chief servant under the Great Dragon Head.

Strictly speaking, he was indeed the first, and the only, servant personally taken in by the Great Dragon Head Ximen Wudi.

"It is actually you?"

Patriarch Xue Damo's face changed drastically,

"The Qinglong Society also wishes to interfere in my Buddha's affairs?"
