“Then, as you wish!”
Boom!
Li Hao’s eyes, dark as pitch-black stars, his aura suddenly soaring to the apex.
After the ten-layer Dao Domain, five more layers emerged and suppressed everything in their path!
At this moment, the Dao Domains he controlled erupted instantaneously, stacking upon each other in a blink, the previously opposing forces were suddenly overwhelmed and crushed!
The Buddha Lord’s Dao Domain was abruptly torn asunder, and under its oppressive might, two Bodhisattvas under its protection exploded violently, their Divine Souls annihilated without even a scream.
The stacking of the fifteen-layer Dao Domain was Li Hao’s current limit of his Dao Domain mastery.
Jiang Lichen’s body, too, was enveloped by the Dao Domain but was not harmed by its laws; instead, he became trapped and immobile within it, unable to even shift his eyeballs.
His heart filled with shock, though he knew Li Hao had deliberately spared him, the might of such a Dao Domain was beyond his imagination, a level his current swordsmanship couldn’t shake.
Swoosh!
As Li Hao’s body covered the Buddha Lord with the Dao Domain, in the next instant, he appeared before him like teleportation. Amidst the torn realm of the Buddha Lord, the treasured kasaya on his body began to emit a hazy Buddha light and Dao Power under the suppression of the fifteen-layer Dao Domain, enveloping the Buddha Lord’s body and shielding it from harm.
Seeing this, Li Hao’s eyes blazed with even more fury, and amidst the Buddha Lord’s momentary daze, Li Hao suddenly reached out, grabbed his kasaya, and erupted in a resplendent crimson-golden light. He hoisted the enormous body and brutally smashed it onto the Purple Gold Lotus Platform where he sat!
With a loud crash, the entire Purple Gold Lotus Platform fractured.
This platform was a top-tier Divine Weapon forged nine times, capable of fending off the Dao Domain, but under the fifteen-layer Dao Domain, it was penetrated by the rules to the brink of collapse and now shattered completely.
Boom boom boom!
Li Hao, grasping the Buddha Lord’s kasaya, repeatedly slammed it down, shattering the ground of the Spiritual Buddha Hall, creating deep pits and shaking the entirety of Spirit Mountain.
This majestic God Mountain seemed to tremble as if a Heavenly God wielded a hammer, striking fiercely, reverberating from the summit down, shaking the entire mountain as its buildings and steps loosened, crumbling into dust.
Witnessing this earth-shaking tumult from distant peaks, the masters of Buddhism were horrified and turned their gazes toward the Spirit Mountain where the Buddha Lord sat.
Boom!
Li Hao raised his fist and smashed it violently into the head of the Buddha Lord fallen onto the ground, rending the ground apart, utterly devastating the Buddhist Hall.
However, amidst the dispersing dust and smoke, the Buddha Lord’s body emerged unscathed, the treasured kasaya on his body emitting Buddha light and Dao Power, enveloping him in a protection of flowing golden light, a supreme power of the Dao.
Li Hao’s eyes instantly turned icy cold. He flipped his palm, and a sharp Divine Sword appeared, the same one looted from Qingzhou City—the Ten Extremes Sword.
At the moment Li Hao drew the Ten Extremes Sword, the Buddha Lord seemed to regain his senses, his expression becoming solemn and composed. He brought his hands together, a vast pressure exploding from within him as layers upon layers of Dao Domains erupted from his body.
In an instant, it rose to the thirteen-layer!
Simultaneously, his hair and visage turned crimson-golden, as if bathed in Buddha’s light, his eyes as dazzling as Li Hao’s, a state of Divine Power Extreme Realm!
“I am the merciful hand of Buddha!”
He chanted softly, and suddenly a palm strike emerged, and though it wasn’t as extensive as Li Hao’s, it granted him the ability to move within Li Hao’s Dao Domain, now a colossal Buddha Palm radiated across heaven and earth, pushing forth like a luminous God Mountain to suppress Li Hao.
The inherent oppressive might of the Buddha Palm, combined with the thirteen-layer Dao Domain, managed to push back Li Hao’s Dao Domain, pressing down with a single palm!
The power of this palm strike was no less fearsome than Jiang Lichen’s sword.
“Die!”
Li Hao roared in anger, confronting the radiant Buddha Hand with a fierce slash of his sword.
The ultimate cycle of Spring and Autumn!
Like an endless drizzle in spring or autumn leaves swept up by the wind, the essence of life and death, and the balance of Yin and Yang intertwined.
With a thunderous rumble, a terrifying vibration resonated; Spirit Mountain shook, and the Buddha Lord’s body once again sank into the depths beneath the Buddhist Hall, the surroundings cracked and collapsed.
Li Hao was pinned back several meters by the Buddha Palm, and before he could strike again, he saw the Buddha Lord already shooting out and ascending into another part of the sky; the dazzling golden palm had been cleaved open but was now quickly healing.
“Fifteen-layer Dao Domain, I didn’t expect you had so much strength left when you cut down the Desolate God’s incarnation in Qingzhou.”
The Buddha Lord stood there, his kasaya fluttering. He gazed deeply at Li Hao and gently said,
“It seems I must personally transform and guide your fate. Your sins are grave for slaying my Buddhism’s meritorious Bodhisattvas and innocents; do you realize those nobles were descendants of famous generals?”
Li Hao said nothing, but the aura throughout his body continued to rise frenziedly, silver-white strands slowly mixing into his golden hair.
Transform to Immortal!
Although Li Hao had anticipated that the Buddha Lord had hidden strength, after all, he dared to lure Li Hao here and provoke him in Qingzhou City, prepared for any eventuality, but the depth of his concealment was unforeseen.
At this moment, there was no mood for talk, only an intensely focused killing intent.
Seeing Li Hao’s aura still heightening, the Buddha Lord’s eyes filled with even greater solemnity, and he ceased to speak. At this point, apart from that sword-crazed Ninth Prince, no one else could approach; superfluous words were unnecessary.
“I have cultivated for more than two thousand years. Do you think you’re the only heaven’s pride? With a gap of two thousand years, what do you have to make up for it?”
