Chapter Title: Fellow Daoist, Why Resist?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As Lu Yang appeared, the towering, mountain-like vast magical power not only made Guang Hai's expression change, but also terrified Guang Ming not far away.
Then he turned to his opponent.
Qin Tianhe.
Perhaps due to a spiritual connection, or maybe because worthy foes met, while the Pure Land and Saint Sect disciples fought to the death, these two were also locked in fierce combat.
At this moment, with Lu Yang's appearance, Guang Ming and Qin Tianhe exchanged a glance, then extremely tacitly shifted their battlefield farther away. As for Guang Hai's call for aid, Guang Ming turned a deaf ear—he had already seen Lu Yang take out that terrifying banner.
At the same time, the other Buddhist cultivators obeyed Guang Hai's command.
The seven Diamond Dharmakaya forms immediately turned back to aid Guang Hai. But almost simultaneously, Lu Yang shook the Ten Thousand Spirits Banner, and streams of banner spirits emerged.
"Kill them all."
Lu Yang issued the command flatly, then turned to face the ashen-faced Guang Hai—only to see a talisman clutched in Guang Hai's hand.
Shared Heart Life-Linking Talisman!
This supreme treasure of the Pure Land could directly teleport a marked person to one's side. Just now, Guang Hai had tried to summon the Eight Divisions Buddhist Host.
But he failed.
The next second, as he scanned his surroundings, the scenery had utterly changed—from inside a spiritual treasure to clear mountains and waters.
【Abyss-Sinking Assembly-Halting Diagram】!
Bestowed by Perfected Being Chongguang, it was True Lord Clear and Flying Snow's supreme treasure, with the wondrous effect of sealing space. It had already unfurled the moment Lu Yang appeared.
The instant Lu Yang spotted him, escape became impossible!
Realizing this, Guang Hai finally accepted reality. His expression regained composure. With a flick of his kasaya robe, twelve radiant array diagrams instantly spread out, and his figure vanished into the deepest one. Clearly, he had no intention of clashing directly with Lu Yang, but planned to stall with the array.
Lu Yang chuckled scornfully at the sight.
"Fellow Daoist, why fight like a cornered beast? There's just the spot for you on my banner!"
As a seventh-grade array master, he saw at a glance that Guang Hai didn't truly understand arrays. Though the formation was laid, his aura wasn't fused with it.
With those words, Lu Yang stepped into the array without hesitation!
Seeing this, Guang Hai shook the array flags without a word. The twelve great arrays activated, and hazy Buddhist light instantly coalesced into a grand temple.
"Rise!"
Feeling the surging force from within the array, Guang Hai breathed a sigh of relief. These twelve array diagrams were actually parts of a single formation.
The complete version had thirty-six.
The array was meant to be used with the Eight Divisions Buddhist Host, creating an environment nearly identical to the Pure Land, synergizing with them.
In that setup, the Eight Divisions could borrow an Arhat's status together, and with the Pure Land environment from the array, unleash power rivaling early Foundation Establishment for a short time. Now with only twelve, it was still impregnable to ordinary cultivators.
Boom!
As Guang Hai pondered this, before he could react, a massive crash rang out. The twelve array diagrams shuddered in unison, emitting crisp explosive sounds!
The next second—
"Heaven Collapse."
The first, the second, the third... Under Guang Hai's stunned gaze, the twelve array diagrams shattered at a blinding speed!
Staring at the horrifying scene, Guang Hai hadn't even felt fear yet, still in a daze. He thought he had overestimated Lu Yang as much as possible, but upon true encounter, realized he had still underestimated him. He couldn't help feeling the same doubt Guang Hui had before death:
"This man... could he be Foundation Establishment?"
Seeing the twelve arrays about to be torn through by Lu Yang alone, Guang Hai had no time to think. He could only pull a lifelike dragon-shaped pendant from his bosom.
Crack!
Gritting his teeth, Guang Hai crushed it. The pendant shattered instantly, and a vast divine sense surged out, merging into his sea of consciousness.
Whoosh—
In that instant, waves rose without wind. Guang Hai's face smoothed, all emotions fading, no longer panicked—only serene and calm remained.
Still the same person, but his eyes brimmed with brilliant Buddhist light. His entire demeanor transformed. Hands pressed together, he intoned a Buddha's name softly, and his aura soared endlessly, reaching the peak below Foundation Establishment in a blink!
"Amitabha."
Buddhist tones rolled like thunder, the profound status spreading with the sound waves, instantly alarming the battling Buddhist cultivators and Saint Sect true inheritors.
"Wind's picking up—retreat!"
The Saint Sect true inheritors knew when to yield, pulling back at once, unwilling to approach "Guang Hai's" position, swiftly widening the distance.
The Buddhist side erupted in thunderous cheers.
"It's Venerable Fulong!"
"Guang Hai is Venerable Fulong's chief disciple—did he summon the Venerable?"
"We're saved!"
Foundation Establishment! True Foundation Establishment!
Even just a strand of divine sense was enough to make Qi Refining cultivators flee. No wonder the Pure Land was so confident this time—they truly had aces up their sleeves.
But then, a massive boom.
The twelve array diagrams shattered completely. Exploding spiritual light poured out like a breached flood. Lu Yang strode forth from within, a sword rainbow encircling him.
Among those present, only his expression remained utterly calm.
Seeing this, "Guang Hai" narrowed his eyes, revealing keen interest: "Benefactor, your wisdom root is profound. Why not convert to our Pure Land?"
Though the voice was still Guang Hai's, it carried an indescribable charm. Each word was a gem, like an old monk striking a wooden fish in a meditation hall, drawing one inexorably into immersion, shedding stray thoughts, birthing conversion urges, spilling hidden heart-secrets.
Called conversion, it was soul-searching in truth!
"Bald ass spouting nonsense!"
Lu Yang spoke coldly. The Foundation Establishment divine sense from cultivating the Heavenly Silkworm Secret erupted without reserve, directly dispelling the strangeness in "Guang Hai's" voice.
But "Guang Hai" grew even more delighted: "As expected, the Nine Transformations Dragon Art."
He pressed hands together again, laughing brightly: "Benefactor, why resist? Since you cultivate my true art, I am the karmic bond you cannot escape."
"...You're right."
Lu Yang stared straight at "Guang Hai," sneering: "I do have a karmic bond with Fulong. Pity—you're just a likeness, not the real Fulong."
With that, the Ten Thousand Spirits Banner shook.
The guardian spirit Su Nü stepped out from it. An aura and status no weaker than "Guang Hai's"—perhaps even surpassing—burst forth instantly!
In that moment, the complacent "Guang Hai's" expression shifted subtly.
With Su Nü's emergence, the Buddhist light that had filled the sky from "Guang Hai" dimmed once more, replaced by阴煞 energy that saturated the heavens.
Seeing this, "Guang Hai's" smile gradually faded.
"Keep smiling—why stop?"
"Fellow Daoist, why resist?"
Lu Yang gripped the Ten Thousand Spirits Banner, gazing at Venerable Fulong like a plump prey: "My banner is just missing talent like you!"
