“Die!”
The colossal Giant Sand Buddha, radiating brilliant Buddhist Light and a Wrathful Vajra aura, slammed its fist down. As the punch descended, countless Buddhist Script/Runes materialized, forming a vast, shimmering halo of light.
The massive fist hurtled towards Lu Xuan, closing the distance—five thousand zhang, then a thousand, then five hundred. Yet, Lu Xuan remained utterly still, making no move to evade. Finally, the blow struck his head, a cataclysmic impact like a Great Sun collapsing or a Star plummeting. Lu Xuan was utterly engulfed in a blinding golden light.
The White-haired Buddhist Cultivator sneered, “Is that all?”
Moments later, the boundless golden light dissipated, revealing Lu Xuan standing precisely where he had been, completely unharmed.
The White-haired Buddhist Cultivator gasped, “How is that possible? He was a Six-star Supreme! How could this man be completely unaffected? Just what cultivation realm was this White Robe Supreme truly in?”
Everyone from Bodhi Temple was stunned into silence. Minghui Master stared at Wuwu, his face a mask of utter shock. When did Wuwu take a master? How could he not have known?
At that moment, Lu Xuan casually flicked his white robe, then waved a hand. With a faint shhh, a stream of Divine Radiance tore through the Spatial Rift, surging like a long river towards the colossal Giant Sand Buddha.
Around the Giant Sand Buddha, profound Buddhist mysteries shimmered, “Dao and Rhyme” flowing ceaselessly. An immense “Stance” erupted across a million-li radius, manifesting as Rule Power—a golden lake of energy, formed to resist Lu Xuan’s devastating attack!
BOOM! The instant Lu Xuan’s Divine Radiance touched the golden lake, all the profound Buddhist mysteries crumbled, utterly annihilated. The towering Giant Sand Buddha began to collapse, disintegrating like a colossal pagoda toppling or a majestic peak dissolving. This was the complete collapse of Rule Power!
The White-haired Buddhist Cultivator immediately spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, suffering a severe backlash. Pfft! But the residual power of Lu Xuan’s Divine Radiance attack was far from spent. Like an unstoppable tide, it surged directly towards the White-haired Buddhist Cultivator, crushing down upon him.
The White-haired Buddhist Cultivator’s face turned ashen. “Fellow Daoist, please stop!”
Lu Xuan ignored him completely. Anyone who harbored killing intent towards him was destined to die.
The White-haired Buddhist Cultivator hastily conjured a golden Alms Bowl. Inscribed with countless Ancient Buddhist Scriptures, it pulsed with a powerful “Stance,” forming an illusory wall of ancient Buddhist power, like a shimmering curtain of beads, yet seemingly indestructible.
BOOM! Lu Xuan’s long river of Divine Radiance instantly shattered the illusory wall of power. The golden Alms Bowl in the White-haired Buddhist Cultivator’s hand exploded into countless fragments.
The White-haired Buddhist Cultivator, his face a mask of terror, shrieked, “If you kill me, my Bodhi Temple will surely—” He didn’t get to finish. A ray of Divine Radiance pierced directly through his Brow/Forehead. Pfft! Blood splattered! An instant kill!
BOOM! The White-haired Buddhist Cultivator’s corpse plummeted from the sky.
Witnessing this, everyone in the Western Desert was utterly dumbfounded. A powerful expert from the Outer World, instantly annihilated just like that? Who was Wuwu’s master?
Just then, a shattered Jade Slip on the White-haired Buddhist Cultivator’s corpse suddenly glowed with Divine Radiance. A benevolent-looking old monk’s illusory figure materialized, his face now contorted with a Wrathful Vajra’s killing intent.
“You dare to kill a member of my Bodhi Temple?” the old monk’s projection roared. “Not even Cloudrise Holy Land has dared to kill our people!”
Lu Xuan simply smiled, then waved his hand. Shhh shhh shhh shhh shhh! Several divine rainbows streaked across the Spatial Rift, hurtling directly towards Xiuzhi Master and the other Bodhi Temple cultivators.
Seeing this, the many Buddhist cultivators from Bodhi Temple immediately cried out, “Wuhuo Host! Save us!” They knew they couldn’t withstand a single attack from Lu Xuan.
Hearing their pleas, Wuhuo Host immediately declared, “If you dare to harm them again—” He didn’t finish. BOOM BOOM BOOM! The heads of the Bodhi Temple cultivators flew into the air! Blood splattered everywhere! All instantly killed!
Wuhuo Host was utterly dumbfounded. Outside the Fourth Star Ring, even Cloudrise Holy Land showed respect to their Bodhi Temple! Yet this man showed absolutely no respect!
Wuhuo Host lost all composure. He snarled, “Since you insist, the Tai Chu Realm has no right to exist! My Bodhi Temple will purify all living beings in this realm!”
Lu Xuan said calmly, “No need for all that trouble. I’m coming for you.”
Wuhuo Host scoffed, completely dismissive, and his figure dissipated.
At this, all eyes turned to Lu Xuan. The world fell into a dead silence! The cultivators from Ling Mountain Temple were aghast. They felt their Old Ancestors had deceived them! So, Bodhi Temple wasn’t invincible after all!
Lu Xuan waved his hand, collecting all the Storage Rings, then handed them to Wuwu.
Wuwu paused, then said, “Thank you, Master!”
Lu Xuan nodded faintly. “Let’s go! Follow me to Bodhi Temple!”
BOOM! With a thought, a profound Spatial Power surged, enveloping both him and Wuwu. The two vanished instantly. To Bodhi Temple!
The Ling Mountain Temple cultivators were utterly petrified! He was going to attack Bodhi Temple! Wuwu’s master was simply too fierce!
Minghui Master and the others watched Lu Xuan and Wuwu’s disappearing figures, their hearts churning with monstrous waves of emotion. The gap between him and Wuwu had become as vast as the heavens and earth.
***
Bodhi Temple. The Star where Bodhi Temple resided was incredibly distant from the Tai Chu Realm, a journey that would take even a high-star Supreme several days to traverse the Spatial Rift.
At this moment, Wuhuo Host’s face was frigid. He had already summoned all the powerful cultivators of Bodhi Temple, even those in secluded cultivation. Everyone looked puzzled. “Host, what has happened?”
Wuhuo Host recounted the events that had transpired in the Tai Chu Realm. Everyone was utterly astonished. After all, the Tai Chu Realm’s Star was close to the Dark Void—how could such a powerful expert possibly emerge from there?
Wuhuo Host declared, “Karma has been forged! We shall purify all living beings in that realm!” Many powerful Buddhist cultivators assented, “So be it!”
Just then. BOOM! CRACK! The Spatial Rift tore open, and a man in black armor stepped out. A Black Flame Guard from Cloudrise Holy Land!
The armored man slowly descended, looking at Wuhuo Host. “I have arrived today by the command of Elder Situ Qingyun of my Cloudrise Holy Land. We hope your esteemed sect can assist us. A Fox Clan Rebel once caused trouble in my Cloud City. This is his appearance. If you see him, please contact my Holy Land!”
Wuhuo Host was slightly taken aback. He had heard whispers of this matter before, but as Bodhi Temple was too far from Cloud City, he hadn’t paid it much mind.
The armored man’s Spirit Seals shifted, and a phantom image of a white-robed man materialized in the air. He declared, “This is the man!”
Wuhuo Host was utterly stunned! Wasn’t that the White Robe Supreme from the Tai Chu Realm? He immediately exclaimed, “I’ve seen this man! He’s in the Tai Chu Realm! And he just killed over a dozen of our elders!”
The armored man’s face filled with astonishment. “Such a thing happened! I will contact our captain immediately!” He crushed a Communication Jade Slip, relaying the information.
Suddenly. BOOM! CRACK! The Spatial Rift tore open once more! Lu Xuan, clad in his white robe, slowly emerged from the Spatial Rift, a faint Divine Radiance shimmering around him. Wuwu followed respectfully by his side.
The instant they saw Lu Xuan, everyone from Bodhi Temple was utterly stunned. Wuhuo Host pointed at Lu Xuan, his voice trembling. “You, you… you dare to come to my Bodhi Temple?!”
