Grand Freedom Buddha’s complexion turned unsightly.
He had bullied a disciple of Lu Changsheng, only to find that Lu Changsheng was present at the scene.
“If you’re capable, don’t use a puppet, let’s spar.”
Grand Freedom Buddha was wary of Lu Changsheng’s Taiyin Goddess Talisman, believing that as long as Lu Changsheng didn’t use his trump card, he wouldn’t be his match.
“Fine.”
My Virtual Library Empire
To his surprise, Lu Changsheng readily agreed.
Grand Freedom Buddha was a genius of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, while Lu Changsheng, having broken through to the Immortal Emperor Sixfold Realm, was just looking for an opponent to practice with.
Grand Freedom Buddha was taken aback.
He hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to really agree.
“Since you’re seeking your own death, you can’t blame me.”
Grand Freedom Buddha operated the Buddhist Sect cultivation technique, enveloping himself in the hundred zhang tall Buddha golden body with a thousand Buddha hands.
The true body of Buddha manifested, radiating a ten thousand zhang Buddha light and emitting grand Buddhist chants.
Weak cultivators witnessing such a scene couldn’t help but prostrate in worship.
But Lu Changsheng and his disciple Chen Yi were able to withstand the pressure from Grand Freedom Buddha.
“Let me show you the sect-defining ultimate art of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple!”
“Ten, thousand, Buddhas, toward, the, sect!”
Grand Freedom Buddha effortlessly commanded authority, his hands in prayer position, igniting the endless aspirations of all living beings.
In the sky, the illusory images of three calamities’ three thousand Buddhas appeared, their chanting resonating, causing mountains to crumble.
Immortal Emperor Eightfold Realm.
Lu Changsheng determined Grand Freedom Buddha’s realm.
Grand Freedom Buddha was a genius of the same era as Qingyang Immortal Emperor and Buyi Immortal Emperor. Although he had been defeated by Qingyang Immortal Emperor, after cultivating for nine hundred million years, he was now almost a Grand Accomplishment Immortal Emperor.
He intended to crush Lu Changsheng, who had offended him repeatedly, with the difference in their realms.
Lu Changsheng, who was two realms below Grand Freedom Buddha, did not underestimate his opponent but instead operated the “Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art,” drawing the overwhelming power of Ziwei Celestial Flame from the Nine Heavens.
“Even if you are the top genius on the Qilin Ranking, the gap between our realms is immense, your defeat is certain!”
Grand Freedom Buddha finally found the opportunity to deal with Lu Changsheng.
He, Grand Freedom Buddha, had once ranked within the top thirty on the Qilin Ranking. After cultivating for nine hundred million years and experiencing life and death multiple times, his combat experience was rich. Could he really not defeat a junior who was two realms lower than him?
As long as Lu Changsheng didn’t use the Taiyin Goddess Talisman, Grand Freedom Buddha believed he could defeat him.
With his right hand, Lu Changsheng beckoned the Divine Sword “Purple Lightning Clear Frost” from behind his back, soaring into the skies accompanied by a clear, resonant sword cry that shocked the Nine Heavens.
The Sword Qi materialized into a faint purple electricity, whistling with the winds of command.
Grand Freedom Buddha exclaimed in shock, “A Dao Artifact?!”
Lu Changsheng had agreed not to use the Taiyin Goddess Talisman, but he had plenty of trump cards and hadn’t agreed not to use a Dao Artifact!
It was an excellent opportunity to test his sword against Grand Freedom Buddha.
Lu Changsheng’s right hand still forming sword gestures, eight Immortal Swords of Emperor Soldier tier flew out from within his body, arranging themselves into a Sword Array in the air.
Nine Immortal Swords, with the Dao Artifact level treasure “Purple Lightning Clear Frost” as the array’s eye, and the other eight Emperor Soldier tier Immortal Swords positioned at the eight trigrams, formed an unparalleled fearsome array.
“Destroy!”
Desperate, Grand Freedom Buddha commanded the illusory images of the three calamities’ three thousand Buddhas to simultaneously execute Buddhist martial techniques: Lion Seal, Immovable King Seal, Mighty Vajra Palm, Great Prajna Palm, Samsara Finger…three thousand martial techniques, all aimed at Lu Changsheng.
“Eternal Sorrow Sword Formation!”
The sword array operated by Lu Changsheng released Sword Qi that crisscrossed, forming a primordial Sword Sea, shredding all three thousand martial techniques aimed at him!
The wails of Sword Qi emanated from the array, causing the Flying Swords on the waists and backs of sword cultivators miles away to tremble.
In the middle of the Sword Array, the Divine Sword Purple Lightning Clear Frost charged up, thunder and lightning brewing fiercely.
“Unscathed!”
Grand Freedom Buddha used the sect-defining ultimate art of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple and failed to harm even a single hair on Lu Changsheng, which terrified him to the core.
With this martial technique, Grand Freedom Buddha could easily destroy a sect or dynasty, but it was far from enough against Lu Changsheng with his unparalleled Sword Array.
“Grand Freedom Buddha of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, is this the extent of your strength?”
Lu Changsheng knew that Grand Freedom Buddha was no longer his match.
The first time he encountered Grand Freedom Buddha, he could be annihilated by a flick of the Buddha’s fingers.
Back then, Lu Changsheng had to rely on the Taiyin Goddess Puppet to injure Grand Freedom Buddha.
However, this time, using the Sword Array, Lu Changsheng found that Grand Freedom Buddha was no longer a match.
“Let me show you the sect-defining swordsmanship of Mount Taihua.”
Returning the phrase, Lu Changsheng readied the Divine Sword Purple Lightning Clear Frost, which, with the help of the Sword Array, had fully accumulated its sword momentum.
Lu Changsheng struggled to draw upon the Divine Sword, which trembled violently.
An eighth-tier Dao Artifact, with Lu Changsheng’s realm, he actually couldn’t fully utilize the Dao Artifact’s power.
But to defeat Grand Freedom Buddha, it was already sufficient.
“One Sword Across Ages!”
Lu Changsheng barely managed to use the Fourth Sword Realm!
Having just glimpsed the Fourth Sword Realm and not yet mastered it, he could still forcibly use it.
Cultivating the “Eternal Indestructible Art,” his body was comparable to a ninth-tier Dao Artifact, so even if he forcibly used an unmastered technique, the backlash to his body wouldn’t be severe.
The Fourth Sword Realm could slash through space, time, Qi Destiny, and cause and effect!
“Impossible! How could you possibly use the Fourth Sword Realm?!”
Grand Freedom Buddha was on the verge of collapse.
This was the Fourth Sword Realm!
In the Holy Land of Mount Taihua, genius Xuantong had only mastered the Fourth Sword Realm and would pay a great price to barely use the Fifth Sword Realm.
Yet Lu Changsheng, at the realm of an Immortal Emperor, could actually use the Fourth Sword Realm?!
This was no longer something a common genius could describe—it was a monster among monsters!
