Aura shaking space. Clearly, Shangguan Hen had just reached consummation and had yet to gain proper control over his strength.
However, so what if he had only just reached it? He was still in the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm.
“Hahahaha! Prime Shangguan concluded his cultivation at a timely moment!” Vairocana guffawed.
“Your Reverence, many thanks for placing me in this ideal cultivation ground, allowing me to break through another layer and reach the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Realm. Your Reverence, please command me!” Shangguan Hen shouted.
Breaking through another layer? The Eight Nines Profound Technique’s seventy-first layer?
“Vairocana is right. You are just in time. This will save us from rushing. Since you are here, you deal with the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon,” Gu Hai said.
“Yes!” Shangguan Hen shouted in response.
Then Shangguan Hen turned his head to look at the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon.
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon and the Gautama Heavenly Demons showed unsightly expressions. At this moment, another consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm subordinate appeared for Gu Hai?
“Huh? Consummation? Strength differs among consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators. You have only just advanced, and you want to fight me?” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon shouted coldly.
After shouting, the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon charged forward.
Whoosh!
Shangguan Hen likewise charged forward with a ferocious expression.
The two tested each other out, throwing punches from a distance.
Bang!
A loud report rang out, and the space where the two fists met exploded and shattered.
Then the two parted. Shangguan Hen moved over thirty meters back, while the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon moved over three hundred meters back.
In a clash of strength, Shangguan Hen actually came out on top?
Shangguan Hen felt slightly shocked. The others appeared stunned.
How could a newly advanced consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator be more powerful than the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon?
“The Eight Nines Profound Technique is indeed impressive, the peak of the physical body. No one has managed to cultivate it to its limits at our place. Perhaps we will see it in Shangguan Hen,” Vairocana marveled.
“That’s impossible! You have only just advanced to consummation. How can you be this strong?” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon exclaimed in shock.
“Hah! I am the Black Tortoise Prime. In the animal spirit race, you are just a worm who gained accomplishments. You wouldn’t even be qualified to carry my shoes in ancient times!” Shangguan Hen said coldly.
“Hah! Hahaha! Black Tortoise Prime?! The Black Tortoise Prime’s time is long past! Worm? Well, this worm will eat the Black Tortoise Prime today! Humph!” Furious from humiliation, the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon charged over.
Shining with a bright, golden light, Shangguan Hen showed no fear as he charged forward again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators clashed again, shattering space in several places. As they fought, the two moved farther away, heading for the distant outer space.
Jiang Gautama showed an unsightly expression as he looked at the distant Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon, who seemed to be suppressed. Had he known this would happen, he would have destroyed Gu Hai long ago.
“Amitāyus, Mortal Gautama, our Sahā Worlds have been destroyed. Come! Let me see your Buddhist Nation in Hand!” Vairocana stepped forward.
“Humph! Vairocana, I don’t know where you come from. To think you have so much in common with me. However, I will make you spill everything after today!” Mortal Gautama shouted coldly.
Boom!
The two threw palm strikes, and vast areas of space shattered. It was Buddhist Nation in Hand vs. Buddhist Nation in Hand. Buddhist chanting seemed to ring out of nowhere.
As the two exchanged palm strikes, they left this battlefield for the remaining people—apparently intentionally.
“Jiang Gautama, it is time for us to resolve our grudges!” Gu Han stepped forward.
Qin Zibai and Bodhisattva Lian Sheng followed close behind.
“Good Gautama, you used to be the master of the Spirit Mountain Holy Land, after all. To think you reincarnated as the prince of an imperial dynasty? What a drop in status!” Jiang Gautama said coldly.
“Same here, same here. Let me see your Gautama Divine Palm!” Gu Han threw a palm strike.
Buzz!
A golden swastika appeared on Gu Han’s palm, shining with a bright, golden light. It seemed to manifest boundless Buddhist chanting as it headed for Jiang Gautama.
Jiang Gautama also executed the Gautama Divine Palm, using the same move to face Gu Han.
“When I created the Gautama Divine Palm back then, we were one and the same, so you know how to use it too. However, do you know? The Gautama Divine Palm is not driven by the energy in our bodies but by a compassionate heart. You still don’t understand its essence!” Gu Han smiled.
The two Gautama Divine Palms clashed.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
Space immediately shattered. The two palms seemed equal, but Gu Han then pushed Jiang Gautama back at a rapid pace.
Clearly, Gu Han’s Gautama Divine Palm was more powerful.
“How can this be?!” Jiang Gautama exclaimed.
“I lost before only because you sneak-attacked me. This time, I will not give you a chance to do that. This time, I even have the Three Lives Buddhist Conception. Break!” Gu Han shouted.
Boom!
Jiang Gautama felt shocked at being knocked back. His face flushed red.
Gu Han, Qin Zibai, and Bodhisattva Lian Sheng quickly gave chase.
The three battles moved far away. Continuous rumbling came from them.
Only Gu Hai and Heavenly Gautama remained in their original spots. The massive crimson heavenly eye was above the two’s heads.
Now that Gu Hai faced Heavenly Gautama alone, he no longer worried.
It was not that he had great confidence in his strength but that his trump card was more than sufficient to deal with Heavenly Gautama.
Vairocana came from Earth in exchange for Zhengfa Ming. Thus, the two immortal firmaments were in balance. That meant if Gu Hai opened the passageway between the immortal firmaments, he could call another person over.
However, Gu Hai did not do that. He wanted to test himself against Heavenly Gautama, so he would call a person over only if he had no other choice.
“Gu Hai, actually, I quite admire your courage. Even Vairocana does not dare to clash with my Heaven-defying treasure. To think you dare to do so alone?” Heavenly Gautama looked at Gu Hai coldly.
“Heaven-defying treasure? Hah! This crimson heavenly eye?” Gu Hai sneered.
Buzz!
Gu Hai’s forehead suddenly trembled before parting, revealing a third eye.
Heavenly Gautama’s forehead had a crimson third eye, while Gu Hai had an ordinary-looking third eye—black and white. However, it had five energy cores revolving around the pupil. An aura of heavenly might gushed out from it.
“The Divinity Destroying Heavenly Eye? I heard Jiang Gautama mention it before. Your Divinity Destroying Heavenly Eye can fire Divinity Destroying Light, but unfortunately, it is not always effective!” Heavenly Gautama said coldly.
“Then you can give it a try!” Gu Hai said coldly.
Previously, Gu Hai used the Divinity Destroying Light sparingly, as there were too few of them. However, things were different now. He had two hundred beams ready and could use them to his heart’s content.
“A try? I have plenty of time. Let me ask you this first. Are the Buddhist Energy sea and the divine blood poison ant in your Gu’s Immortal Firmament?” Heavenly Gautama asked coldly.
“So what if they are, so what if they are not?” Gu Hai said coldly.
“Good that they are. Immortal firmament? You are not qualified to enjoy one!” Heavenly Gautama said coldly.
After Heavenly Gautama shouted, the third eye on his forehead trembled. Then the crimson heavenly eye in the sky shot out a vast red beam that streaked towards Gu Hai.
“Divinity Destroying Light!” Gu Hai shouted coldly.
Gu Hai’s heavenly eye immediately fired a beam of Divinity Destroying Light at the red beam over three hundred meters wide in the sky.
Boom!
A loud report rang out as Gu Hai’s Divinity Destroying Light shattered. However, it had negated only a small portion of the titanic red light in the sky.
“Haha! You don’t know what this is, right? The crimson heavenly eye is also firing Divinity Destroying Light. Furthermore, it is a large Divinity Destroying Light! This is Jiang Lianshan’s supreme treasure. Just one beam equals twenty of yours. How can one of your ordinary beams of Divinity Destroying Light compare?” Heavenly Gautama sneered.
Before Heavenly Gautama finished speaking, Gu Hai already understood how incredible the red light was.
The red light looked like it would strike Gu Hai soon. There was no time to dodge.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gu Hai fired twenty beams of Divinity Destroying Light from his heavenly eye.
Twenty beams!
Heavenly Gautama’s expression changed at the sight of that.
Boom!
A loud report rang out, and space shattered significantly. Gu Hai finally negated that titanic red light.
“How…could you fire twenty beams of Divinity Destroying Light simultaneously?” Heavenly Gautama said in shock.
“Crimson heavenly eye? It’s only so-so!” Gu Hai sneered, looking like he wanted to deal a heavy blow to the crimson heavenly eye.
“Gu Hai, you dare?!” Heavenly Gautama’s expression changed as he threw a palm strike.
Bang!
Gu Hai’s heavenly eye suddenly fired twenty beams of Divinity Destroying Light at Heavenly Gautama.
Heavenly Gautama’s expression changed. Not daring to clash with the Divinity Destroying Light, he immediately dodged back, shouting, “Heavenly eye, open!”
Buzz!
The crimson heavenly eye in the sky fired another beam of red light at Gu Hai.
Gu Hai had used twenty beams of Divinity Destroying Light to force Heavenly Gautama back. Then he looked up with a cold expression, and a gleam flashed in his heavenly eye.
Bang!
Fifty beams of Divinity Destroying Light shot skywards.
Boom!
Twenty beams of Divinity Destroying Light clashed with the crimson heavenly eye’s red light, shattering space as they negated each other. However, the remaining thirty beams of Divinity Destroying Light instantly arrived at the crimson heavenly eye.
Heavenly Gautama felt shocked. The crimson heavenly eye’s pupil suddenly constricted, giving off a faint red glow.
Boom!
A large black hole blasted open near the crimson heavenly eye with a loud report.
“My crimson heavenly eye!” Heavenly Gautama exclaimed.
The black hole quickly mended. The crimson heavenly eye moved over three hundred meters higher in the sky as the surrounding crimson clouds decreased by at least ten percent.
Fortunately, the crimson heavenly eye managed to protect its pupil. However, countless veins bulged in the crimson heavenly eye from the immense shock.
“What a Heaven-defying treasure!” Gu Hai’s face sank.
Of my two hundred beams of Divinity Destroying Light, I have already used ninety-one. To think I haven’t injured the crimson heavenly eye yet? Jiang Lianshan’s Heaven-defying treasure is indeed incredible.
“Gu Hai! You…! To think you can fire fifty beams of Divinity Destroying Light simultaneously? Why didn’t you use it back then?” Heavenly Gautama felt incredibly shocked.
Rumble…!
Thunder roared in the crimson clouds. Evidently, the crimson heavenly eye had its own consciousness. The near injury had infuriated it.
In its rage, it drew on a portion of the crimson clouds and formed another large beam of red light, firing it at Gu Hai.
“Again? Humph!” Gu Hai glared, showing no fear. Then a gleam flashed in his heavenly eye again.
Whoosh!
One hundred beams of Divinity Destroying Light shot at the crimson heavenly eye.
One hundred beams?
You can fire one hundred beams simultaneously?
Boom!
Twenty beams of Divinity Destroying Light shattered the titanic red light. The remaining eighty beams instantly arrived at the crimson heavenly eye.
The crimson heavenly eye’s pupil constricted, betraying a trace of fear.
Heavenly Gautama seemed to see a shadow of the ancient Jiangchen. Back then, Jiangchen had fired many destructive beams of Divinity Destroying Light like this.
“No!” Heavenly Gautama roared as he charged at Gu Hai.
