Chapter Title: Got Him!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Got him!"
Looking at the soul of Heaven-Receiving Orthodox Virtue True Lord, now completely sealed by him, Lu Yang grinned.
He tossed it straight into the Yama Hall!
"Patriarch, this counts as revenge for the Witch Ghost Dao's predecessors!"
Inside the Yama Hall, Patriarch Tingyou's expression grew complicated at those words.
He stared fixedly at Heaven-Receiving Orthodox Virtue True Lord.
Once upon a time, this True Lord standing before him—powerless as a frail scholar—had been an object of unwilling admiration.
He hated him to the bone, yet could do nothing about it.
Now, the tables had turned. The man was in his grasp.
All because of the changes Lu Yang had wrought.
"You have this day too!"
Patriarch Tingyou gnashed his teeth.
Then he pinched a hand seal.
The Yama Hall activated!
"Ah——!!!"
In an instant, Heaven-Receiving Orthodox Virtue True Lord's soul began to writhe violently.
His piercing screams fell sweetly on Patriarch Tingyou's ears.
At the same time, Lu Yang let out a deep breath of turbid qi.
His Fortune Gold Position burned away completely.
The Orthodox Virtue Gold Position immediately filled the void, sustaining Lu Yang's station.
Meanwhile, the Yama Hall's attributes began to shift, growing even more majestic.
Wall-upon Earth!
This was the fruit position Patriarch Tingyou had originally intended for the Yama Hall when he founded it.
Relying on Covered Lamp Fire had always felt awkward, full of hindrances.
Wall-upon Earth was the perfect match!
Especially now, with his archenemy avenged and Lu Yang's world-shaking genius surging like a spring.
The Yama Hall's operations reached their absolute peak!
"Hoo."
In that moment, Lu Yang exhaled deeply once more.
The breath shot out like an arrow, slicing through the void.
It stretched endlessly before finally dissipating.
Amid that turbid qi, faint images of palaces flickered and vanished.
These were the wounds Heaven-Receiving Orthodox Virtue True Lord had inflicted on him before—damage that should have been hard to heal.
But now, by shifting to Wall-upon Earth, he had a chance to mend them.
With one full exhale.
Lu Yang opened his eyes.
The fine cracks covering his body had healed somewhat.
Of course, some wounds still lingered from Treasure Vase Water Moon Bodhisattva.
It didn't affect his combat strength, though.
With that thought, Lu Yang glanced toward the江西 Pure Land.
A cold smirk tugged at his lips.
'I told you I'd come back.'
He returned like lightning!
With a single thought, the Wall-upon Earth fruit imagery enveloped him completely.
It sealed his qi, severed his karma, making him imperceptible to others.
In a flash, he was back in江西.
At that moment, Treasure Vase Water Moon Bodhisattva was still locked in combat with Angxiao.
Her full attention was on him, unconsciously ignoring other senses.
'Knowledge-View Obstruction.'
Lu Yang understood instantly.
He'd suffered this trick enough times to recognize it at a glance.
Treasure Vase Water Moon Bodhisattva's state was off!
Seeing this, Lu Yang cracked his knuckles.
'My turn.'
Ambush!
Lu Yang drew a deep breath.
A dharma sword appeared in his hand.
It was none other than the Chengtian Ascending Profound Wonderful Realm Fixing Contemplation Sword.
With Heaven-Receiving Orthodox Virtue True Lord dead and Lu Yang holding the false gold position as Wall-upon Earth Lord, this true treasure required no refining.
It submitted willingly!
The next second, sword light flared!
Almost simultaneously, Treasure Vase Water Moon Bodhisattva—who had been somewhat dazed—jolted awake.
A sudden premonition of deadly peril surged within her.
But Angxiao struck.
"Illusion! Just your illusion. No one wants to kill you."
An intangible haze descended, like a gentle breeze brushing away her warning.
Unbidden thoughts arose in her mind:
'What was I just thinking?'
'Someone wants to kill me? Impossible. Orthodox Virtue is dead, Fortune's out. I'm the strongest under heaven. Who could kill me? Fake, must be an illusion.'
'No, someone's influencing me!'
'What was I just thinking?'
Such thoughts rose and fell in waves, one after another.
They left Treasure Vase Water Moon Bodhisattva frozen in place, unmoving.
"Pfft!"
Lu Yang's sword tip pierced her flesh.
It drove straight in.
The fruit imagery of suppression and sealing echoed thunderously within her body!
Treasure Vase Water Moon Bodhisattva tried to react.
Another layer of haze fell.
'What was I just thinking?'
'No! No! What the hell am I thinking? I've been stabbed! If this continues, I'm dead. No need to overthink—counterattack first!'
'What was I just thinking?'
This combo gave even Lu Yang chills.
Damn, Great Forest Wood was too perverse!
He wanted it so bad!
Was this the supremacy of wood?
Way too broken!
And this was Angxiao, constrained by Heaven of Non-existence, forced to bear the Underworld.
If Angxiao were unrestrained, how strong would he be?
Five elements complete, late Golden Core.
Claiming first below Nascent Soul in the world wouldn't be exaggeration!
At least, Lu Yang knew no one stronger.
Outrageous!
Lu Yang marveled inwardly.
But his hands didn't pause.
He smoothly unleashed Heaven-Receiving Orthodox Virtue True Lord's old combo.
The fruit position sealed her magic power.
With one hand pinching a seal, a Heavenly Cloud Sun Receiving Wonderful Art blasted into Treasure Vase Water Moon Bodhisattva's sea of consciousness.
Treasure Vase Water Moon Bodhisattva tried to resist.
"Fake. Your illusion."
Angxiao's voice came again.
Knowledge-View Obstruction erased her will to fight.
Her beautiful eyes held only pure bewilderment.
'What was I just thinking?'
"Boom!"
Under Angxiao's full suppression, Treasure Vase Water Moon Bodhisattva took Lu Yang's sword head-on.
Her graceful dharma body exploded on the spot!
"Ah——!!!"
A shrill scream echoed through heaven and earth.
Only then did Treasure Vase Water Moon Bodhisattva break free from the wall-thick haze.
More precisely, Angxiao had withdrawn deliberately.
Looking at Treasure Vase Water Moon Bodhisattva, now burst into bloodlight filling the sky, Angxiao shook his head.
Five thousand years ago, he would have finished her off!
Fortune had died just like that back then!
'Pity, my restrictions are too many now.'
Achieving even this had drained this Reported World Dharma Body completely.
He could no longer interfere in the present world.
That said, Angxiao didn't mind.
His goal was accomplished.
"Clang clang!"
Above the Pure Land, as Treasure Vase Water Moon Bodhisattva suffered Lu Yang's heavy blow, her prior suppression of the Sword Dao fruit position vanished entirely.
In that instant, a single sword cry rang through heaven and earth!
"Done!"
Lu Yang reached out.
Demon-Quelling Perfected Being's Non-Killing Sword flew to him.
He gripped it, and a strand of imagery fused onto it.
Sword Dao fruit position!
From this day, the Pure Land's Buddhist cultivators became the foundation of Sword Dao.
As long as Sword Dao endured, the Pure Land's unity of heart would never return!
"Rumble rumble!"
At the same time, the Earthly Buddha Kingdom shattered.
Numerous fruit positions broke free.
They returned to the firmament in an instant, going into seclusion, swiftly fading into intangibility.
"Heh."
Seeing this, Angxiao was finally satisfied.
Then, as if recalling something, he dispersed his form swiftly.
On the other side, Treasure Vase Water Moon Bodhisattva reformed her dharma body.
Her face was ashen as she stared at the shattered Buddha Kingdom.
Her silver teeth nearly ground to dust.
'.Amitabha, Amitabha!!!'
Suddenly, her face froze.
All emotions vanished from her features, as if an invisible hand had smoothed them away.
A domineering arrogance emerged in her eyes: sole sovereign of heaven and earth.
.
In a flash, all sounds ceased.
The Earthly Buddha Kingdom destroyed, City Head Earth fled, unity of millions severed.
One loss after another had finally crossed a certain line.
The World-Honored One had turned his gaze!
