“Immovable King True Body!”
“Ha!”
The Grand Freedom Buddha hastily used up all of his True Qi and aspirations to condense an Immovable King golden statue of ten thousand feet tall.
A ten-thousand-foot-tall golden statue, protecting the Grand Freedom Buddha, with its brilliant Buddha light illuminating one hundred thousand feet of land.
This was a top-grade Emperor Tier defensive Cultivation Technique, unyielding as a metal battlement.
However, the Sword Qi of the fourth sword realm used by Lu Changsheng possessed a might that had already surpassed Emperor Tier Cultivation Techniques, and was instead at the level of divine techniques!
The Sword Qi unleashed by Purple Lightning Clear Frost, carrying with it purple thunder, Ziwei Celestial Flame, and the power of the fourth sword realm, surged tumultuously, imbued with boundless intent to kill. The roiling Sword Qi morphed into a ten-thousand-foot-long purple dragon with bared fangs and dancing claws. Wherever it passed, time and space shattered, Qi Destiny dissipated, and causality was severed!
The Sword Qi purple dragon opened its huge maw as if it would swallow the Grand Freedom Buddha in one bite!
The Grand Freedom Buddha looked on in terror at the onslaught of the Sword Qi purple dragon, his limbs freezing cold.
This was not a strike that should belong to the realm of an Immortal Emperor.
It turns out that the gap between the number one talent of the Qilin Ranking and those behind him was so immense.
The Grand Freedom Buddha had once ranked twenty-eighth on the Qilin Ranking because that was the highest he could achieve, whereas Lu Changsheng’s first place was due to the fact that the highest rank on the Qilin Ranking was only the first!
Boom!
The Sword Qi purple dragon collided with the Immovable King True Body. What seemed an unyielding, metallic fortress-like Immovable King True Body instantly shattered, with golden fragments dancing all over the sky.
“No!”
The Grand Freedom Buddha could no longer maintain his false dignified facade and revealed a look of fear, his face contorted.
Mighty Sword Qi devoured the Grand Freedom Buddha, whose own body fractured!
Boom boom boom…
The residual power of the Purple Dragon Sword Qi destroyed the hundred thousand mountains behind the Grand Freedom Buddha, and Ziwei Celestial Flame attached to the mountains, continuing to burn fiercely.
The Grand Freedom Buddha, who was at the eighth level of the Immortal Emperor Realm, sustained severe injuries. His once rosy complexion turned as pale as white paper, his Buddha body cracked, his aura dissipated, and his blood stained his kasaya.
Because he forcibly received this one strike from Lu Changsheng, the Grand Freedom Buddha’s Dao marks were damaged and, incredibly, he plummeted in realm!
The Grand Freedom Buddha was now only at the seventh level of the Immortal Emperor Realm!
Being beaten until his realm fell was an unthinkable humiliation for the Grand Freedom Buddha in the past.
Yet such an event had indeed occurred.
The Grand Freedom Buddha kept vomiting blood, but he suppressed his hatred and pled to Lu Changsheng for mercy, “Lu… Lu… Please spare me…”
As one of the Buddhas of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, his status was esteemed. Begging for mercy was a disgrace.
But he had to beg, or Lu Changsheng might actually kill him.
Lu Changsheng had the strength to do so.
Yet, Lu Changsheng was assessing the power of his own strike.
The Grand Freedom Buddha’s Buddhism was profound, his Buddha body robust. If this couldn’t kill him but only caused him to drop a realm, then with his current strength, Lu Changsheng was still no match for Emperor Ku.
The child of the Heavenly Emperor, whose aptitude was much more monstrous than the Grand Freedom Buddha, possessed various treasures and Cultivation Techniques bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor himself, and was also the Supreme Emperor Body, definitely not someone easy to deal with.
Lu Changsheng came back to his senses, a glimmer of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
The Grand Freedom Buddha might have begged for mercy, but there was no sign of repentance from him.
The Grand Freedom Buddha was far from a proper Buddha; the Seven Great Demons, the Emperor of Reed Leaf Nation were all manipulated by the Grand Freedom Buddha from behind the scenes. Utilizing these cultivators, he committed endless wicked deeds without accruing any karma for himself.
Lu Changsheng decided to kill the Grand Freedom Buddha, to foreclose any future trouble.
“Disciple requests Master to spare this villain.”
Unexpectedly, Chen Yi intervened and pleaded with Lu Changsheng on the Buddha’s behalf.
Even the Grand Freedom Buddha looked at Chen Yi in astonishment.
The Grand Freedom Buddha had manipulated the Demon Monkey to kill Chen Yi’s relatives, and yet Chen Yi still pleaded for him?
Lu Changsheng frowned. He did not wish his disciple to be a saint.
When it comes time to kill, one must carry out the act unless the enemy’s supporters are truly untouchable.
The Grand Freedom Buddha’s backing was the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, but Lu Changsheng’s was Mount Taihua. Lu Changsheng killed the Grand Freedom Buddha due to a personal grudge between his disciple and the Buddha, so he had a pretext to fend off the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
Why then, at this moment, would Chen Yi plead for his enemy?
Chen Yi spoke firmly, “Disciple intends to be the one to personally slay this villain in the future.”
Lu Changsheng was taken aback and then burst into hearty laughter, “Good, your Master will grant your request. Let him become your stepping stone. Grand Freedom Buddha, aren’t you going to scram?”
“Damnable…”
The Grand Freedom Buddha’s face turned liver-colored, grinding his teeth in anger.
It was bad enough for Lu Changsheng to use him as a stepping stone, but now even Lu Changsheng’s disciple intended to do the same.
He was one of the Buddhas of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, once a genius of the Buddhist Sect!

These master and disciple are going too far!
The Grand Freedom Buddha was inferior in his methods and couldn’t show his anger, so he could only flee in dismay.
Chen Yi took a trip to the Ghost Gate Pass and his aura underwent a subtle change.
Chen Yi now is like a pool filled with water, ready to step into the Buddha Realm at any moment.
“Let’s head back to the mountain.”
Lu Changsheng took Chen Yi back to Mount Taihua.
This disciple is very important to Lu Changsheng.
Chen Yi often descended the mountain to perform good deeds and accumulate merit, gathering the aspirations of all living beings. And through the merit system, when a disciple gains merit, the master also receives a portion.
The Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda has grown into a ninth-tier Dao Artifact.
Chen Yi arrived at the Tribulation ground of Mount Taihua to welcome the Heavenly Tribulation.
Over the years, the aspirations of all living beings that Chen Yi had accumulated were converging from all directions of the Immortal Realm.
Chen Yi, with a dignified appearance, reflected on the myriad states of living beings he saw during his practice. Behind him, a halo appeared, Celestial Maidens Scatter Flowers, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth, illuminating eighty thousand zhang.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
All living beings suffer.
Chen Yi sighed softly and the Great Dao resonated.
Chen Yi’s aura was rising rapidly as Chaos Divine Thunder and Great Dao Gold Thunder descended from the Nine Heavens.
Lu Changsheng happened to encounter his disciple facing his Tribulation, so he personally acted as protector.
Chen Yi even possessed a trace of the Desolate Ancient’s aura.
“It seems that the memory of the Ancient Buddha is awakening.”
Lu Changsheng knew that this disciple was the reincarnation of an Ancient Buddha.
According to the records of Mount Taihua, in Ancient Times, there were three thousand Ancient Buddhas. And these three thousand ancient Buddhas are the very ones that manifested as the Triple Tribulation Three Thousand Buddha phantoms during the Grand Freedom Buddha’s use of the “Ten Thousand Buddhas Return to Origin.”
After two ancient wars, for some reason, the three thousand ancient Buddhas used the power of the aspirations of all living beings to create three thousand Blissful Realms, second only to the Immortal Realm, Demon Realm, Demon Realm, and Netherworld.
Latterly, some ancient Buddhas perished, while others pursued the eternal way, practicing the secret technique of reincarnation to break through the limits of their own talents.
Chen Yi was one of those reincarnated Ancient Buddhas.
The talents of Ancient Buddhas also varied, with the strongest being capable of contending with the Heavenly Emperor, Demon Lord, and Dragon Emperor. The weaker Buddhas were equivalent to experts in the Divine King Realm. However, it was unknown which Ancient Buddha Chen Yi was in his past life.
What Lu Changsheng could ascertain was that at the very least, Chen Yi could become a great Buddha of the Divine King Realm.
Compared to the Grand Freedom Buddha, it was Chen Yi’s heart that truly befitted a Buddha.
The Buddhist Holy Land of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, in Lu Changsheng’s view, was nothing but name only.
With the aspirations of all living beings blessing him and possession of Merit Treasures like the Empowerment Staff and Eight Treasures Merit Pool, Chen Yi passed the Heavenly Tribulation with ease and without danger.
Chen Yi has become a genuine master of the Buddha Realm.
If Chen Yi wished, Buddhist Holy Lands like Mount Sumeru would gladly open a practice ground for him.
Of the three thousand ancient Buddhas, only a few hundred dared to practice the reincarnation secret technique. Many ancient Buddhas, during their weak reincarnated states, were killed and thus perished.
Chen Yi might be one of the few ancient Buddhas still undergoing reincarnation.
[Ding, your eleventh disciple Chen Yi’s realm has advanced from Quasi-Emperor Tier to Immortal Emperor Tier, and you receive the disciple realm-upgrade reward: three hundred billion merits.]
Three hundred billion merits?!
Lu Changsheng was stunned.
The system can award merits too?
And it awarded three hundred billion merits at once!
The Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, nourished by three hundred billion merits, produced the thirty-third layer of its body.
The tier of the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda now corresponds to an eighth-tier Dao Artifact.
An eighth-tier Dao Artifact level defense treasure can protect Lu Changsheng from death in most situations.
Lu Changsheng took out a bell.
The Eternal Dream Bell, a Demon Realm Dao Artifact, a treasure of time, space, and spirit types.
This was a Demonic Dao treasure he obtained after killing the Impermanence Demon Monarch.
Without the corresponding mnemonic verse, Lu Changsheng found it difficult to fully use this treasure, but he could still wield some of its power.
In the Demon Realm, within the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Palace, shrouded in Demonic Qi.
In one of the palaces, the Dark AnChen Demon Monarch knelt before Dantai Meng: “Miss, the matter you asked your subordinate to inquire about has been thoroughly investigated by your subordinate.”
“Good, this time we must capture that villain, Lu Changsheng, and bring him back to the Demon Realm to be thoroughly tortured.”
