Chapter 827

"That goes without saying!"

As Xiao Jingtian threw this punch, the two assassins at the edge of the Qinglong Society were discussing it.

Just as these Qinglong Society assassins believed this punch would crush and kill all the Great Yuan ministers and officials.

Suddenly, an unnamed aura rose from Tie Muzhen.

Beneath the golden radiance, countless Buddha seals and dharma incantations suddenly appeared.

Against Tie Muzhen's mighty punch, they clashed evenly, before the eyes of the Qinglong Society assassins.

"How is this possible?"

All the Qinglong Society assassins felt profound shock.

Although Tie Muzhen, the Great Yuan Khan, held high status, every Qinglong Society assassin who had come here could sense it.

This illustrious monarch, famed throughout the Nine Provinces, had rather ordinary cultivation.

Any one of the Qinglong Society assassins here could easily assassinate him—or even kill him outright in open combat.

Yet this ordinary-cultivation Tie Muzhen sat motionless on the ground and absorbed Xiao Jingtian's fierce punch without budging.

"Good returns to heaven, evil to the netherworld,

Ten thousand layers pale before the height of Buddha recitation."

Tie Muzhen suddenly murmured a Buddha verse, his lips vibrating.

At this moment, all the Great Yuan ministers wore expressions of great joy, speaking as if entranced,

"Good!"

"Excellent!"

The Lotus Life Buddha also wore a smile, clasped his hands, and bowed deeply to Tie Muzhen,

"Welcome the Huang Tian Great Buddha to his throne!"

The entire assembly of Great Yuan ministers now knelt like pilgrims, prostrating themselves and chanting,

"Welcome the Huang Tian Great Buddha to his throne!"

"Amitabha!"

At this moment, Tie Muzhen's appearance had changed utterly, as if he had become a completely different person.

His body slowly floated into the air, with countless Buddha wheels appearing behind him.

Truly, as if a Buddha had descended upon the mortal world!

"What foreign heretical Buddha dares intrude upon the Nine Provinces? Kill!"

Failing to land a hit, Xiao Jingtian paid it no mind; instead, he laughed loudly and charged forward, merging wind, fire, thunder, and rain—the four natural elements—into his body.

In You Dongying, he was called the Great Demon God—not out of modesty.

Because Hun Tian Si Jue was, in truth, one of the supreme external-body divine arts in the Nine Provinces.

Ordinary external-body divine arts extract one's essence and strength, aided by medicinal baths and spirit pills, forging the body into a divine weapon.

Unbreakable, indestructible!

Hun Tian Si Jue was the miraculous art created by Xiao Sanxiao after countless ages, drawing from the divine turtle's legacy and emulating nature.

It repeatedly forged the body using the four natural elements: wind, fire, thunder, and rain.

Then absorbed the essence of sun and moon to temper the five viscera and six bowels.

Upon completion, the body became unbearably hard, with not a single flaw anywhere.

But Xiao Sanxiao's Hun Tian Si Jue, being rooted in the divine turtle's legacy, carried a weakness: it could not be practiced during daylight, greatly weakening its power.

Fortunately, Xiao Jingtian was pragmatic; after witnessing Ximen Wudi's earth-shattering sword strike,

He and Xiao Aoshi joined the Qinglong Society, earned great merit, and became honored guest ministers.

Eventually, from the Qinglong Summit's Scripture Hall, they obtained the complete version of Hun Tian Si Jue.

Since then, he not only remedied Hun Tian Si Jue's inability to be practiced in daylight,

But more crucially, his cultivation surged dramatically.

The four natural elements—wind, fire, thunder, and rain—now constantly surrounded him, and he could manipulate two at once to fuse them.

For example, fire and rain were once entirely opposing elements.

But under the complete Hun Tian Si Jue's enhancement, these two elements could now strike together in harmony.

And they could unleash an attack greater than the sum of their parts.

The four natural elements, paired in twos, could generate countless variations.

Now, as Xiao Jingtian charged forward, the four natural elements fused and transformed continuously in his hands.

Synergizing perfectly with his fist techniques.

Even the golden radiance's divine nature began to lose its rhythm under Xiao Jingtian's blows.

"A mere mortal, wielding partial natural force with a mortal body, dares disrupt my Buddha radiance!"

"Tie Muzhen" watched as the golden radiance's rhythm faltered and could not help but praise, then added,

"But mortals remain mortals—how could they possibly stand against me!"

"Go!"

"Tie Muzhen" thrust out a palm and pressed downward into empty air.

Instantly, countless heavenly and earthly spiritual energies surged toward him.

Then, above the ruins of the hall, they coalesced into a colossal hand.

This hand descended from above, crushing down upon Xiao Jingtian.

The terrifying aura forced all Qinglong Society assassins to retreat from their positions.

"Qinglong Society assassins, retreat at once!"

Senior Xiaoyaozi saw the problem and immediately gave the order.

Having received Senior Xiaoyaozi's command, those Qinglong Society killers vanished their forms on the spot, disappearing without a trace.

In an instant, only Senior Xiaoyaozi, Zhang Sanfeng, and the other high-ranking members of the Qinglong Society remained at the scene.

As the Qinglong Society killers vanished their forms, Xiao Jingtian suddenly threw back his head and let out a long howl toward the sky.

The four great natural elements that had been swirling around his body suddenly surged into him.

The next moment, his already massive frame continued to swell.

Before long, Xiao Jingtian had become a giant at least a zhang tall.

Between his feet, wind faintly stirred.

At his waist and ribs, two extra pairs of arms had also grown.

His eyes opened—one eye flashed with Lei Guang, the other was filled entirely with flames.

The whole man truly looked like a descending demon god!

This was a deeper layer of the complete Hun Tian Si Jue!

"What kind of bird-egg false Buddha is this? Today I'll tear apart your hypocrisy!"

Finishing his power gathering, Xiao Jingtian laughed wildly, paid no heed to that terrifying palm, and fiercely swung his fists toward the golden radiance.

This time, he had a full six arms and six fists.

Each pair of fists could perform one or even two fist techniques.

Six fists, three pairs, yet could execute countless fist techniques.

In an instant, fists rained down like a storm, fist-winds howled like gales, battering the once-impregnable golden radiance until it trembled without cease.

Crack!

A strange sound rang out, and that golden radiance truly was smashed by Xiao Jingtian in his six-armed great demon-god state until a crack visible to the naked eye appeared.

"What a fiend!"

This strike also greatly exceeded "Tie Muzhen's" expectations.

This golden radiance of his, though it looked like light, was in fact his Huang Tian Great Buddha, borrowing the body of this human sovereign of the Nine Provinces,

using the will-power of his ministers to project his own Buddha divine powers down.

In terms of defensive power, no one in the Nine Provinces should be able to break it.

Let alone this mortal world—even in the realms beyond, how many could break it?

Who would have thought it would actually be broken here!

"Tie Muzhen" could no longer maintain his solemn Buddha-bearance; though he still sat unmoving atop the golden lotus dais.
