Bang! In the world, four destructive attacks capable of recreating heaven and earth dissipated, with Hongjun and the three others, including Liu Bei, retreating.
Among them, Hongjun retreated a hundred thousand miles.
And Liu Bei, who fought against him alongside the others, each retreated eighty thousand miles.
"How is this possible?"
Watching this scene, the corner of Hongjun’s mouth twitched, doubting his own existence.
He was a martial artist of the rule domain!
Yet now, he was actually beaten back by three martial artists at the Unity Realm Stage, even falling into a disadvantage.
This feeling was like an immortal of the nine heavens descending to the world, ready to reveal his saintly presence, only to be defeated by a weak mortal, naturally hard to accept.
"Come, fight again!"
Liu Bei laughed aloud, wielding his battle sword, transforming into an Azure Dragon to attack.
"Refreshing!"
"Amitabha!"
Sun Quan and Xuanzang hesitated not, their eyes bursting with radiant light, high above with their battle weapons, launching their lethal strike.
The Rule of Kindness!
The Rule of Strategy!
And the Rule of Buddhism!
Three types of Rule Power created three domains in the world, transcending all laws, standing above all paths, whose terrifying aura made Hongjun scent a wisp of danger.
Danger!
Hongjun observed the fifteen hundred Buddhas created by Rule Power behind Xuanzang, plunging into silence.
Though Xuanzang’s realm was only at the Unity Realm Stage, he couldn’t deny that Xuanzang’s overall strength was entirely on par with a martial artist of the rule domain.
After all, the Rule Power he could currently wield was only a thousand lines.
A full five hundred lines short.
Plus Liu Bei and Sun Quan, who could also harness Rule Power...
"Martial Saint Jade, emerge!"
Thinking of this, Hongjun brought out his most treasured item from his stash, with the heaven and earth above him exploding, space and time extending infinitely, becoming a vast, boundless world.
This world contained all things, there were mountains, lakes, the sun, moon, and stars, and the three thousand great Daos...
Of course, these were the least eye-catching!
What truly drew attention was the defective ancient jade hovering beneath the Purple Hell, emitting a faint precious glow, composed of diverse transcendent forces, revealing a supreme, sacred, vast, and ancient aura.
Feeling intently, one might sense the source of the three thousand Daos within the ’Martial Saint Jade’!
Yet, the three thousand Daos constituted only a small part of the ’Martial Saint Jade.’
There were also many inscrutable and enigmatic yet immensely powerful forces.
"Merge!"
Hongjun whispered strongly, his brow radiated dazzling divine light, which fell into the ’Martial Saint Jade.’
Instantly, the ’Martial Saint Jade’ shone brilliantly, feeding back a tremendous force, merging into Hongjun’s body, surging his aura into the mid-rule domain.
Besides the enhanced strength, the slave Rule Power he could control also elevated significantly, reaching twelve hundred lines.
Mid-Rules Realm!
With an additional twelve hundred lines of enslaving Rules!
"This ’Martial Saint Jade’ is truly a good thing!"
Hongjun gripped the ’Myriad Dao Sword,’ as an overwhelming force gushed forth, far stronger than before, causing him to chuckle.
He felt the ’Martial Saint Jade’ was a treasure bestowed upon him by the heavens!
When the myriad worlds first formed, his true self was but a weak worm, of waning vitality, with mediocre talent, ceaselessly bullied by the innate beings of the time.
Until one day, the ’Martial Saint Jade’ fell from the heavens into his lair, granting him an unprecedented opportunity.
After study, the ’Martial Saint Jade’ served three major roles.
Firstly, possessing the origin of the three thousand Dao!
Secondly, able to create Hongmeng Purple Qi!
Thirdly, in crucial moments, could enhance strength without side effects!
With the ’Martial Saint Jade’, Hongjun tempered his body daily with the three thousand Dao, rapidly advancing in power, becoming the first martial artist to break through to the Dao Saint Realm across the myriad worlds.
Since then, he began preparing to establish rules!
Perhaps, being bullied so much in his youth.
He finally established the enslavement rule!
Notably, during the God and Demon Epoch, a battle between gods and demons erupted, ultimately, he relied on the augmentation of ’Martial Saint Jade’ to defeat Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.
Later, using Hongmeng Purple Qi as the source, he created various Kalpas to eliminate potential threats to himself.
The world thought the Kalpas were self-perfection of the myriad worlds, yet didn’t realize Hongjun operated behind the scenes, intending to maintain his hegemonic status.
"Die!"
Hongjun raised his head toward Xuanzang and the others, no longer feeling threatened, his eyes flashing with killing intent, slashing with a sword.
Crack!
The entire perimeter world of Chaos was split in two.
A Sword Qi bearing the power of twelve hundred enslaving Rules appeared, vast and mighty, angrily slashing down.
Bang bang bang!
With three muffled sounds, Xuanzang, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan were knocked flying, retreating nearly hundreds of thousands of miles, barely stabilizing their bodies, while Hongjun retreated merely a few thousand miles.
The situation in the field reversed once more!
Hongjun smiled confidently, tapped his toe lightly, transforming into a sharp sword light, racing toward Xuanzang and the other two.
Pressing the advantage!
He was to win!
He must win!
"Realize the Buddha’s Seat, the power of ten thousand Buddhas bestowed!"
Xuanzang shouted inwardly, divine Buddha light gleaming from his brow, with the ’Realize the Buddha’s Seat’ seal emerging, emanating a formidable power, creating a western Buddha land.
Among the auspicious clouds, countless eminent Buddhist figures from past lives appeared, there was Bodhidharma, Huineng, Huai Su, Ji Gong...
"Amitabha!"
"Amitabha!"
"Amitabha..."
One Buddha chant after another echoed through the skies.
Vast powers from the heavens descended, pouring into Xuanzang, rapidly boosting his strength, breaking through the Unity Realm’s limits, barely reaching the rule domain.
This was a divine skill of the seat!
The force of divine control could summon servitors of past lives to fight cooperatively!
The Heart of Literature’s power wasn’t adept at battle, yet could govern a region, ensuring national prosperity and peace!
The force of divinity commanded myriad troops, leading an army, uniting the military soul, with blood and iron attack!
The divine seat, a sacred artifact, naturally bore powerful effects, augmenting the strength of Huaxia’s eminent Buddhists!
Buddhism!
Although a foreign religion, after spreading across the Huaxia lands, it had long achieved localization, with a profound heritage, whose power couldn’t be underestimated.
"Annihilate!"
Xuanzang’s face was solemn, raising his nine-ringed staff, filled with dazzling Buddha light, like a monk suppressing evil.
Boom!
The nine-ringed staff fell, innumerable Buddha shadows emerged.
Some bore hatred, their eyes fierce, destroying countless worlds, eradicating innumerable civilizations!
While others bore compassion, light shining from their eyes, traversing destruction, saving countless worlds and civilizations from obliteration, transcending countless departed souls.
On the other side, two terrifying forces soared skyward.
Liu Bei and Sun Quan were not idle, augmenting the power of past life servitors, the force of the human king surged, slashing out two astonishing swords, transforming into massive azure and blue dragons, traversing the world.
The dragon roars echoed continuously, slaughtering all who defied them!
Reverent kings vanquish foes!
Rumble!
At the next moment, the attacks of the four collided once more, like a cosmic explosion, generating destructive aftershocks, endlessly spreading in all directions.
