Chapter 787: Chapter 156: Saint Path Embryo, Long Time No See_6
Li Hao listened to him speak of matters in the Mortal Realm, and then thought of the Twin Buddha Child he was stepping on, realizing in his heart.
Feng was still the same Feng, one who would repay his debts of vengeance.
The Buddha Lord detained Feng on Mount Wuliang, set on ruining him. Today, as he faced difficulty in the Land of All Saints, Feng himself came to rescue him.
It all felt like destiny, where cause and effect are orderly.
Just now, Buddha Venerate spoke of cause and effect, and now cause has arisen, effect has arrived, which unexpectedly validates the other’s words, but this outcome couldn’t be as the other wished, leaving one to wonder if it was an irony.
Li Hao laughed, saying, “Feng arrived just in time, otherwise I would have suffered a great loss today!”
Feng Boping smiled warmly, saying, “Weren’t you the one who was fearless of heaven and earth before, now you know about suffering a great loss!”
Although his words were of blame, they revealed deep indulgence and affection.
Then he added, “But I didn’t arrive just in time; my alter ego has always been here, waiting for the moment. It’s just that during the Pride of Heaven Battle in the Canglan Realm, Buddhist laws temporarily faded away, allowing my thoughts to probe this place’s conditions. I was not much interested in these juniors’ combat, almost falling asleep, thanks to that fat Buddha who mentioned your name and background which aroused me.”
Upon hearing this, Li Hao realized it was indeed not a coincidence, but cause and effect.
The matter of Twin Buddha Child’s alter ego was the Buddha Lord’s doing, likely already investigated by Feng himself, as it was too conspicuous and being both Buddha and demon, hard not to arouse suspicion.
And having probed the situation, Feng had been here guarding, waiting for an opportunity, which remarkably led to their serendipitous reunion.
Although Feng spoke casually, Li Hao could feel the genuineness within; no interest in watching the juniors’ combat, but his name arising amidst the noisy crowd startled him.
The entire crowd, listening to this elder and younger’s question and answer, were all stunned. It was clear these two seemed not just a master-disciple relationship, but rather close friends.
An individual of the Dao Law Realm, to be close friends with a Saint?
The two reuniting and conversing, seemed to exclude everyone else, but Feng Boping’s words darkened the Buddha Venerate’s expression.
He hadn’t known that his adversary had an alter ego waiting here. Fortunately, the Twin Buddha Child had always been retreating and comprehending the teachings in Saint Mountain, seldom descending, otherwise, he could have given his adversary a chance.
Not only he felt a chill in his heart, but other disciples of the Buddhist Sect were also astonished, realizing their Sect had been targeted by a Saint, suddenly feeling a terrifying sensation as if being stalked by a fierce tiger.
“Let’s talk old times later. Today, this bald old brat wanted to humiliate you again, it seems this enmity can’t be avoided!”
Feng Boping gave Li Hao a swift smile, then looked up, his expression quickly turning cold, gazing intently at the other party.
The Buddha Venerate, too, had a calm demeanor, locking eyes with Feng Boping. Both demigods had overcome the Three Calamities, and a true contest between them would be hard to determine.
“Buddha says…”
Just as the Buddha Venerate started to speak, Feng Boping suddenly shouted, “Scram!”
The Literary Saint spoke in verses, but Feng Boping swore, shocking countless people who didn’t expect a Saint to curse vulgarly like a mortal.
Simultaneously with his words, Feng Boping raised his palm, the intense Tribulation Light in his palm appearing, transforming into a thunder spear flying toward the opponent.
The Buddha Venerate’s complexion changed slightly, quickly raising his hand, the Buddha light in his palm blooming, mantras revealing. He practiced the Thousand World Equality Dao; even facing the Supreme Saint’s attack, he could greatly reduce it, seeing it as “equal.”
Under this Equality Saint Path, he could measure and suppress using Buddhist Law, among his realm his combat power was amongst the highest.
As the mantras revealed, Saint Path cycles spun, the Tribulation Light also vanishing; similar to the one he had overcome, but since he had overcome it then, he could still overcome it now.
But Feng Boping didn’t stop; Tribulation Light emitted, suddenly raising his hand, the Stealing Heaven Skill operated, accessing all Dao in the world, including the Buddha Venerate’s Equality Saint Path, stealing it and turning it against him.
Suddenly, the void trembled, around the Buddha Venerate the Lotus Platform manifested swirls of the Golden Wheel, the surrounding Dao spread out, clashing with Feng Boping.
This scene left countless onlookers shocked, astounded.
What was initially thought to be only a fierce contention for positions had now provoked a great battle among Saints.
During this time, reflected through the Boundary Stone, the entire Canglan Realm watched this rare encounter of Saintly confrontation, spanning thousands of years.
Chapter 788: Chapter 157: Destroy Buddha Child, Spread to All Heavens
Boom!
As Feng Boping’s Stealing Heaven Sacred Dao activated, the power of the Buddha Venerate was continuously siphoned, growing weaker and weaker until his body turned into a phantom-like image, shattered by Feng Boping’s Heaven and Earth Tribulation Light.
Just at that moment, a Buddha Light suddenly shone from behind the Buddha Hall on the Saint Mountain. It was the true body of the Buddha Venerate; what was in the Buddha Hall was merely an incarnation projected by him.
As the incarnation dissipated, the true body of the Buddha Venerate was revealed. With a raise of his hand, endless Buddhist Law enveloped the space, illuminating the surroundings of the Buddha Hall in dazzling golden brilliance, displaying his own Buddha Dao Domain.
Feng Boping let out a cold chuckle and similarly displayed his own Dao Domain, the Stealing Heaven Extreme Domain.
Within the Dao Domain, Sacred Dao circulated, rubbing against the Buddha Venerate’s Dao Domain, yet it stole the power within the Buddha Dao Domain.
In this prolonged battle, he would only grow stronger, continuously stealing the opponent’s power during the engagement.
The Buddha Venerate seemed to notice the trouble Feng Boping posed. His face slightly darkened as he whispered:
“Flowers are not flowers, fruits are fruits. External forces, once stolen, are never truly yours. If you mimic me, you will only be defeated by me!”
His body suddenly expanded, revealing a towering Dharma Aspect, paradoxically sending power voluntarily to Feng Boping, yet that power contained the Equality Saint Dao which in turn suppressed the power inside Feng Boping.
Feng Boping scoffed, his Sacred Dao circulating, immediately tearing apart this shackle.
“Divinely ingenious, my theft, is not their theft. All things are taken by me!”
He lifted his hand to capture the Buddha Light, his Stealing Dao circulating, aiming to seize the opponent’s emotions and desires, capturing them, stealing his consciousness.
However, when the Sacred Dao activated, he sensed that the inside of this Buddha Venerate’s body was empty, void of desires and thoughts, like a stone.
He let out a light eh, refusing to believe that the opponent truly had no desires. Otherwise, why would he establish the Buddha Hall, gather incense fire? Even pursuing transcendence and liberation is a form of desire.
If truly without desire, then it would be but an empty shell.
Soon, he realized that the opponent had hidden all desires within his own Saint Dao, making them difficult to probe and perceive.
The Buddha Venerate also noticed Feng Boping’s methods and suddenly a surge of compassion rose from his heart, this power of compassion flowing towards Feng Boping as if given voluntarily.
Feng Boping unwittingly began to absorb it, bizarre thoughts of the Buddha School emerging in his mind, which he immediately severed.
Their exchange was completely different from ordinary Cultivation Technique sparring, filled with killing intent at every step.
The two clashed with their Saint Dao, neither yielding, while the Buddha Venerate displayed successive top-tier Divine Skills of the Buddha School, aiming to suppress Feng Boping. Meanwhile, Feng Boping wielded Heaven and Earth Tribulation Light continuously from his palm, shattering the Buddhist Law.
Numerous spectators beheld this scene, dazzled. Saints clashing, hard to discern clearly, yet the oscillations of the boundless Buddhist Law seemed to envelop the entire Saint Mountain, stunning everyone.
Li Hao was witnessing a battle of Saints for the first time, feeling an extraordinary Saint Dao. This Saint Dao, like a bridge, both sides borrowing the Power of Heaven and Earth, like transforming to immortal, their power inexhaustible. They fought across this bridge, battling within Heaven and Earth, stealing power from each other.
Li Hao had an insight: the confrontation of Saints was not about overpowering oneself, but about plundering the other.
Cultivating to strengthen oneself has physical limits, but existing under the same Heaven and Earth, seizing the opponent’s power could greatly enhance oneself.
“Feng…”
Li Hao’s eyes revealed worry, unsure if Feng could win. In this clash of Saints, he couldn’t even tell who was stronger or weaker, their auras switching rapidly, their merits and faults quickly changing, difficult to comprehend.
Literary Saint and Sword Saint looked serious, watching intently. They were not Three Calamities Saints, still lacking the passing through Heavenly Tribulation, without the Unbreakable Body, but at this moment, they could see that both sides had a hard time killing each other, having endured the baptism of Heavenly Tribulation, undestroyable through countless calamities.
The only possible way to defeat the other was to break his Saint Dao, but at this moment, their Saint Dao seemed equally matched, difficult to determine a winner.
Saints at the same level clashing, not something that could be resolved in a few moves. Despite both sides striking vigorously, it might still take three days and three nights.
For Saints, this period of time was trivial, able to mobilize the Power of Heaven and Earth, possessing infinite stamina, and would not feel exhausted.
Boom!
A Buddha Light struck out, only to be deflected, shooting into other constructions of the Buddha Hall in the distance, instantly reducing an area to dust.
Saints clashing, their powers affecting each other, made the millions of spectators present feel frightened. Such a scene of heaven collapsing and earth splitting was unprecedented.
They felt like the indomitable Dao was collapsing, the sky within the Buddha Light turning a bloody red, like a brutal doomsday scene, as if the heavens had been burned through.
“Om Amitabha Buddha, endless seas of Buddha, Infinite Seal!”
Suddenly, a chant resonated, from behind the Buddha Hall on Saint Mountain, abruptly another dazzling Buddha Light appeared, followed by a massive palm imprint riding along the Buddha Light.
That palm imprint instantly obscured the entire sky over the Holy Land, covering the light, overshadowing the sun and moon, a Buddha Palm thousands of feet across, seeming to completely cover the mountain top.
Chapter 789: Chapter 157: Destroy Buddha Child, Spread to All Heavens_2
Feng Boping also caught sight of the other, his eyes narrowing slightly, yet his expression was fearless.
“Is the Green Lamp Buddha, the second saint of Buddhism!”
“It is said that the Green Lamp Buddha has cultivated for a very long time, most mysteriously; although his temples are few, the worshippers are all kings and nobles.”
“A thousand years in a dark room, a single lamp illuminates all; Green Lamp Buddha is the ever-burning lamp of Buddhism, and it is said that his cultivation time even surpasses that of Buddha Venerate!”
Seeing the Green Lamp Buddha, countless people excitedly discuss.
Many had heard of this mysterious Buddha but had difficulty glimpsing his true form.
“Master…”
Jue Ming saw the Green Lamp Buddha, his face changed slightly, and immediately lowered his head.
The Green Lamp Buddha’s face was indifferent, neither compassionate nor coldly murderous, yet the green light of the oil lamp on his lotus platform suddenly brightened with a hazy green glow.
He raised his hand, using Buddhist Law as oil to ignite the green lamp, and in an instant, the Buddha light swept across the sky like golden flames.
“All Phenomena Buddha Country, the other shore of reincarnation!”
The Green Lamp Buddha murmured softly, and under the shroud of Buddha light, his Dao Domain spread out, and a dark aurora emerged as if it could plunder all vitality.
Feng Boping’s eyes squinted, and the Stealing Heaven Extreme Domain contracted.
Elsewhere, Buddha Venerate also made his move at the same time, with thousands of palm imprints following his Dharma Aspect, which were the cultivation techniques accumulated over thousands of lifetimes, each palm print representing a lifetime of suffering, now all pressing down on Feng Boping, making him bear the pain of a thousand lifetimes.
Boom!
But Feng Boping’s body suddenly vanished, then abruptly appeared in front of the Green Lamp Buddha, reaching for the green lamp, stealing the power within it; the wick began to shake violently, and a portion of the oil was stolen.
The Green Lamp Buddha’s face remained indifferent, but his eyes suddenly shone with a bright green light, and the oil that Feng Boping had stolen abruptly burst into flames, turning into a green blaze that swiftly covered his entire body, setting him aflame.
That burning body struggled and soon stopped moving, dissipating with the wind.
The Green Lamp Buddha looked up but saw Feng Boping still standing perfectly fine in another spot; the previous attempt to steal oil was merely a reflection of his avatar.
“Little rat, get ready, we’re retreating.”
On the battle platform, Li Hao wore a concerned expression but then he suddenly heard Feng’s voice transmission.
He paused slightly, but a sense of relief washed over him.
If Feng indeed decided to have a blood feud with Buddhism here, it might not end well; after all, this is the Buddhist Holy Land, their home ground, and Feng, alone and outnumbered, would struggle to gain the upper hand.
If he wishes to escape now, the only option is to follow Feng and leave. Li Hao’s gaze swept around, seeing many familiar faces below, among them Yao Ancestor and others like Zhan Tan and Ye Ancestor who had previously spoken up to support him in anger, but right now they were all looking up at the high sky, transfixed on the Saints’ confrontation, as if in a trance.
Only one pair of eyes was fixed on him.
As he looked over, their eyes immediately met.
Li Hao’s eyes flickered slightly, smiling at Lin Qingyue, signaling her not to worry.
He knew that now was not the time to entangle with her, as it would implicate her.
With Sword Saint’s protection, and her being the saintess of the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, Buddhism wouldn’t dare to touch her easily.
He withdrew his gaze, suddenly realizing that he still had the twin Buddha Child underfoot.
A cold glint burst from his eyes; previously, he had hesitated to deal a heavy hand to the twin Buddha Child due to concern about Buddha Venerate’s intervention, but the latter had still shamelessly made a move.
Now he no longer needed to hold back, and his bodily strength abruptly surged.
“You!”
The twin Buddha Child, sensing Li Hao’s killing intent, changed color drastically.
Although Li Hao had previously suppressed him, he knew Li Hao didn’t dare to kill him, considering Buddha Venerate, but now it was different.
His eyes revealed shock and fury, roaring for help while his body burst forth with the last of his Buddha-Demon aura.
But the Eternal Dao Domain mercilessly crushed him into a pit; Li Hao raised his hand, and within the Dao Domain, Sword Qi flashed like needle points, quickly perforating the twin Buddha Child’s body.
Blood burst forth, the twin Buddha Child’s rising power directly shattered, his skull fractured, his body in tatters, and in an instant, he became a pool of blood on the ground.
But Li Hao didn’t stop, knowing he could enact Blood Rebirth, but even Blood Rebirth had its weaknesses. Now his sword light gathered, relentless like a dragon, sweeping up all the blood, tearing every drop asunder.
Moreover, he had already activated the fatal attribute before his assault.
Now, as the frequency of attacks skyrocketed, even a one percent probability sufficed to trigger the fatal attribute repeatedly.
Every drop of blood annihilated, the terrifying plundering force took hold, and from within one drop, a frightened roar emerged, but barely began before it was silenced.
The commotion here also attracted some attention, and when they saw on the battle platform Li Hao turning the twin Buddha Child into a bloodbath, a series of astonished cries rang out.
This top monster of Buddhism, a Saint reincarnated, was slain by Li Hao in such a manner!
Outside on the field, Jue Ming and many other Buddhist Semi-Saints also noticed the shock here; stunned, they erupted with fury and rushed towards Li Hao.
At this moment, with Saints in combat, the previous Pride of Heaven Battle rules seemed to have disappeared. They were set on preserving the twin Buddha Child’s blood so that he could survive.
If he were to fall here, he would re-enter the cycle of reincarnation, and this Pride of Heaven Battle would be forever beyond the twin Buddha Child.
“Beast, stay your hand!”
Jue Ming, closest to the action, bellowed with fury, his Buddha Eye flared, suddenly pressing a palm towards Li Hao.
However, Li Hao’s eyes were ruthless. Previously, he had somewhat spared him out of civility, not revealing the full extent of the Extreme Realm, as the Immortal Transformation Extreme Realm easily attracted the scrutiny of Saints, but now with his identity exposed, he held back no longer.
Transform to Immortal!
In an instant, the Sixth Extreme Realm unfolded, and the Power of Heaven and Earth poured forth.
Chapter 790: Chapter 157: Destroy Buddha Child, Spread to All Heavens_3
The geo-pulse surged behind Li Hao like a hurricane, a vast power converging at the center. Standing on the battlefield, Li Hao appeared like a young War God.
Facing several Semi-Saints rushing from the Buddhist Holy Land, his eyes widened in fury as he roared, “Suppress!!”
The Eternal Dao Domain revealed itself, resembling a heaven and earth furnace, enveloped by endless Sword Qi, the Dao Domain pushed horizontally, under the immense power in the Transform to Immortal state, the Dao Domain greatly strengthened, actually suppressing all the Semi-Saints of the Buddhist sect within it.
The Dao Domain does not fear the onslaught, even if many Semi-Saints attack together, they are still blocked and suppressed by the Dao Domain.
Seeing this scene, numerous people los their voices again, is this truly the young man’s genuine stance, his real power?!
Li Hao suppressed numerous Semi-Saints, but did not stop his actions, still swiftly annihilating the Twin Buddha Child’s blood, and in a blink, he shattered all its blood!
The opponent’s blood was not his Divine Blood, hence, it was easier to eliminate.
All this happened in a flash, and when the last of the blood was also exterminated, the Green Lamp Buddha lowered his brows, a hint of rage seemed to emerge in his eyes.
He raised his hand, flicked a bit of Green Light Lamp Oil towards Li Hao.
This lamp oil traveled through the Eternal Dao Domain, rubbing out green flames along the way, setting Li Hao’s Dao Domain ablaze!
Li Hao felt his Dao Domain burning, his power simmering, his expression changed suddenly, sensing an overwhelming Saint Dao Power from that lamp oil.
“A Grand Saint, bullying the younger, and you’re not embarrassed!”
Feng Boping’s voice sounded, in the instant the Green Lamp approached, Feng’s figure suddenly appeared beside Li Hao, yanking his body away, teleporting to another place while pinching out the bone-marrow-like green lamp flame.
“How dare you be so vicious!”
Buddha Venerate’s thoughts hurriedly probed only to find that the aura of the Twin Buddha Child really had dissipated, cleanly killed by Li Hao!
He was supposed to be capable of Blood Rebirth, yet in that instant, all blood was eliminated by Li Hao.
“Breaking rules, killing the Buddha Child, your sins are indelible!”
Buddha Venerate looked down at Li Hao, his solemn expression revealed a chill.
Feng Boping sneered, “Only you can break the rules, but others can’t strike back, today we father and son will not comply, when Haotian becomes a Saint another day, we will come to settle the account with you!”
While talking, he didn’t linger, suddenly applied the Saint Dao, enveloped Li Hao, and turned to leave.
“Come and go as you please, it’s not that easy!”
Green Lamp Buddha murmured coldly, yet those words were Saintly sounds, like the laws of the Dao, falling in the ears of commoners as ancient and mysterious whispers, unclear, and the meaning could not be contemplated.
Outside the Buddhist Holy Land, the laws and prohibitions suddenly rose, a dazzling Buddha light arose from the Saint Mountain, shooting towards the traces of Feng Boping.
Feng Boping utilized a strange movement technique, moving without a trace, but was still targeted by the Buddha light, seeing a Buddha Eye erect on Green Lamp Buddha’s forehead, tracking him.
Boom!
When the Buddha light shot over, Feng Boping turned to slap it away, but it erupted with a thunderous noise, shaking his body.
His expression changed slightly, his figure flickered again, activating the Saint Dao, stealing gaps in heaven and earth, with his mysterious movement technique paired with threading through the Returning Ruins, in an instant he appeared thousands of miles outside the Buddhist domain.
In Li Hao’s vision, the vast Buddhist Holy Land suddenly became extremely small in the distance, due to his own powerful physical body and strong eyesight, if it were a commoner, at this moment they would not be able to peer at that majestic Buddhist Saint Mountain.
They appeared in a barren land, Feng Boping did not pause, again taking Li Hao, disappearing quickly.
On the Buddhist Saint Mountain, Green Lamp Buddha’s expression was gloomy, the opponent’s movement technique was too fast, this Thief Saint known for his movement technique, not yet passed through the Heavenly Tribulation ten years ago, was already able to travel through various Holy Lands, now having passed the Heavenly Tribulation, perhaps apart from the Supreme Saints, no one could retain him.
Just in a brief moment, his eyes of Green Lamp Buddha also lost track of the opponent’s aura.
Feng Boping came quickly, and left quickly, as he took away Li Hao, the great battle at the Buddhist Saint Mountain also thus ceased.
At this moment, everyone was astonished, coming to their senses, countless people looked around, attempting to spot the figure of the Thief Saint, but saw nothing, including the peerless young man on the battlefield, also gone.
“That Haotian has been taken away by the Thief Saint!”
“How terrifying, is this a Saintly battle, completely incomprehensible, but felt very shocking.”
“Compared to the Saintly battle, I just saw that Haotian actually used the Dao Domain to suppress many Buddhist Semi-Saints, am I having problems with my eyes?”
Various discussions arose below the platform, this alteration in the quota battle shocked everyone, this matter could even possibly spread outside the Canglan Realm, becoming known throughout All Heavens.
“That Twin Buddha Child has been suppressed!”
“Isn’t he capable of Blood Rebirth, that blood on the ground, why don’t we see him reborn?”
“Just saw that Haotian continually launching Sword Qi attacks on that blood, seeming to have shattered all the Dao Thoughts within the blood!”
At this moment, the ground was full of blood, but this blood was utterly lifeless, showing no signs of healing.
On the Saint Mountain, aside from the noisy discussion of the crowd, the many Buddhist Semi-Saints were eerily quiet, faces looking ugly, emotions complicated and changing.
Having acted together just now, being suppressed by that young man simultaneously, utterly unimaginable.
Releasing a tiger back to the mountain today, if that young man becomes a Saint one day, he will certainly be a major trouble for the Buddhist path.
Green Lamp Buddha glanced at Buddha Venerate, said nothing, his figure slightly blurred, disappearing atop the Buddha Hall.
The face of Buddha Venerate was grim, displaying not a hint of a smile, the opponent’s parting words, like a spike piercing into the heart of the Buddhist path, he knew, that young man already had the seed of the Saint Path sprouting, with more days of cultivation, he could forge an initial form of the Saint Path.
