Chapter 278: Buddha-Demon Fusion
Chapter 278: Buddha-Demon Fusion
"Then, as you wish!"
Bang!!
Li Hao's eyes were as dark as stars, and his overwhelming aura suddenly surged to its peak.
After the tenth Dao Domain, five more Dao Domains erupted one after another!
All the Dao Domains he currently mastered burst forth instantly, stacking together in an instant. The two opposing powers, which had been in a stalemate, were instantly overwhelmed and crushed!
The Buddhist Master's Dao Domain was suddenly torn apart. Under the pressure of the Dao Domains, the two Bodhisattvas protected by the Dao Domain exploded, their divine souls extinguishing without even a chance to scream.
The cumulative power of fifteen Dao Domains was the limit of Li Hao's current capabilities.
Jiang Lidust's body was also covered by the Dao Domain, but he was not invaded by the rules. Instead, he was immobilized, unable to move even his eyeballs.
He was horrified. Although he knew Li Hao had deliberately avoided him, the might of the Dao Domain far exceeded his imagination, a level that his current sword could not even scratch.
Swoosh!
The moment Li Hao's Dao Domain enveloped the Buddhist Master, his body appeared before the Buddhist Master as if by teleportation. After the Buddhist Master's Dao Domain was shattered, the precious robe on his body, under the suppression of fifteen Dao Domains, emitted a hazy Buddha light, enveloping the Buddhist Master and protecting him from harm.
Seeing this, Li Hao's eyes grew even angrier. Taking advantage of the Buddhist Master's momentary daze, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the robe, his body erupting with a brilliant crimson-golden light. He lifted the massive body and then slammed it down onto the Purple Gold Lotus Throne!
With a loud bang, the entire Purple Gold Lotus Throne exploded.
This lotus platform was a top-tier Ninth Forge divine weapon that could withstand the pressure of a Dao Domain. However, under the suppression of fifteen Dao Domains, it was pushed to the brink of collapse, now shattering into pieces.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Li Hao, still holding the Buddhist Master's robe, continued to slam him, destroying the entire ground of the Spiritual Realm Buddha Hall, creating deep craters. The entire Spiritual Mountain trembled and shook.
The towering divine mountain seemed to be struck by a heavenly hammer, the shockwaves spreading from the summit down, causing the entire mountain to shake. The buildings and steps on it crumbled and collapsed into dust.
The many experts of the Buddhist Sect on distant peaks heard the earth-shattering noise and were all shocked, their eyes fixed on the Spiritual Mountain where the Buddhist Master sat.
Bang!
Li Hao raised his fist and smashed it down onto the Buddhist Master's head, which was embedded in the ground. The ground split, and the Buddha Hall was completely destroyed, crumbling to pieces.
However, in the smoke and dust, the Buddhist Master's body was unharmed. The precious robe on him emitted Buddha light, enveloping him and protecting him with a great Dao power.
Li Hao's eyes turned cold. He flipped his palm, and a sharp divine sword appeared, the Ten Extreme Sword he had plundered from Qingzhou City.
The moment Li Hao took out the Ten Extreme Sword, the Buddhist Master seemed to regain his senses. His eyes became solemn and calm. He clasped his hands together, and a mighty intimidation erupted from his body, Dao Domains erupting one after another.
In the blink of an eye, they climbed to thirteen layers!
At the same time, his hair and face turned crimson-golden, as if bathed in Buddha light. His eyes also became brilliant, matching Li Hao's, reaching the Ultimate Realm of Divine Power!
"Buddha's Compassionate Hand!"
He chanted softly, and suddenly a palm shot out. Although thirteen Dao Domains were not as powerful as Li Hao's, they allowed the Buddhist Master to regain the ability to move within Li Hao's Dao Domain. A massive Buddha palm appeared, pushing through the sky like a towering divine mountain, aiming to suppress Li Hao.
The intimidation from the Buddha palm, combined with thirteen Dao Domains, pushed back all of Li Hao's Dao Domains, pressing down with a single palm!
The power of this palm was no less than that of Jiang Lidust's sword.
"Die!"
Li Hao roared in anger, facing the brilliant Buddha hand, and swung his sword with a mighty slash.
Sword Supreme Spring and Autumn!
Like an endless spring rain drifting, or autumn leaves swirling, the energies of spring's birth and autumn's death intertwined, a blend of life and death, yin and yang.
With a deafening boom, a terrifying shockwave reverberated through the Spiritual Mountain. The Buddhist Master's body once again sank deep into the Spiritual Mountain beneath the Buddha Hall, the surroundings cracking and collapsing.
Li Hao's body was pushed back dozens of meters by the Buddha Palm. Before he could make another move, he saw the Buddhist Master surge out, leaping to another spot in the air. The brilliant golden palm had been split open but was rapidly healing.
"Fifteen Dao Domains, I didn't expect you to have so much strength left after slaying the Wasteland God Avatar in Qingzhou."
The Buddhist Master stood there, his robes billowing. He gazed deeply at Li Hao and then whispered:
"It seems I must personally guide you to enlightenment. Your sins are deep, killing our Buddhist Sect's Virtue Bodhisattva and slaughtering innocent Nobles. Do you know those Nobles were descendants of renowned generals?"
Li Hao remained silent, but his aura was rising wildly. Strands of silver-white began to appear in his golden hair.
Transcend to Immortality!
Li Hao had anticipated that the Buddhist Master had hidden strength. After exposing his power in Qingzhou City, the Buddhist Master still dared to lure him here and provoke him, which meant he was well-prepared. However, he hadn't expected the depth of the Buddhist Master's hidden strength.
At this moment, he had no desire to speak, only an overwhelming intent to kill.
Seeing Li Hao's aura continue to rise, the Buddhist Master's eyes grew even more serious. He no longer spoke, knowing that no one else could approach except for the Sword Madman, the Ninth Prince.
"I have cultivated for over two thousand years. Do you think you are the only prodigy? With two thousand years of cultivation, how do you plan to make up for the difference?"
The Buddhist Master clasped his hands together, his eyes turning cold, and his aura also rising. A translucent outline of the Heaven-Earth Meridian appeared behind him, indicating he had reached the Heavenly Pulse Apex!
He had actually unblocked all his major meridians and condensed the Heaven-Earth Meridian!
Even in the Ancient Holy Clans, this was considered a Top Genius level. In his youth, he was a prodigy, and with two thousand years of cultivation, he had achieved profound mastery in various Martial Dao realms!
"Soul Spirit!"
With a gentle chant, the Buddhist Master's divine soul floated out, radiating an endless, blazing light, like a scorching sun. It had absorbed boundless Sun Essence, making it vast and powerful.
Another Ultimate Realm!
After revealing his Soul Spirit, the Buddhist Master clasped his hands together. At the same time, his Soul Spirit suddenly rushed out, aiming to strike Li Hao's divine soul.
A Soul Spirit is a qualitative leap from a divine soul, possessing a crushing advantage. Besides being a safeguard, it also has a higher level of offensive power.
As the Buddhist Master's Soul Spirit approached, a Soul Spirit also emerged from above Li Hao's head. However, Li Hao's Soul Spirit had only recently condensed and hadn't absorbed enough Sun Essence, making it less brilliant than the Buddhist Master's.
Boom!
The Soul Spirit suddenly clenched its fist and struck, while the Buddhist Master's Soul Spirit suppressed it with a palm, the Sun Essence Divine Fire on his palm ready to incinerate anything it touched. If it were a regular divine soul, it would have been immediately burned to ashes.
But Li Hao's Soul Spirit was unafraid of the Sun Essence Divine Fire. After the fist and palm collided, it retreated behind Li Hao and immediately absorbed the Sun Essence Divine Fire that had clung to its arm, enhancing its own power.
"Hmm?"
The Buddhist Master's eyes flickered with surprise. He clearly hadn't expected that Li Hao, besides reaching the Ultimate Realm of Divine Power and condensing the Heaven-Earth Meridian, would also have a Soul Spirit!
This young man, at just sixteen, had already walked the path that took him two thousand years to traverse?!
Seeing the Soul Spirit's overwhelming attack fail, the Buddhist Master's Soul Spirit retreated behind him. At the same time, he suddenly noticed that Li Hao's rising aura seemed endless, showing no signs of stopping.
He seemed to realize something, and his face changed abruptly.
At this moment, Li Hao had already gathered all the power from the surrounding few kilometers.
Transcend to Immortality, fifty percent!
Li Hao's golden eyes glowed with an intense silver radiance.
He raised his head, and the overwhelming aura from his body surged into the Dao Domain. The original Fifteen Dao Domains' power skyrocketed, and with the vast influx of heaven and earth power, it began to forcefully push back the Buddhist Master's Dao Domain.
"You... shall... die!!"
Li Hao suddenly stepped forward, causing the entire Spiritual Mountain to tremble as if it were about to collapse, a massive crack splitting the mountain.
A fierce intimidation swept through the heavens and earth, and Li Hao almost instantly appeared before the Buddhist Master, delivering a powerful punch that shattered the Buddha light Dao power on the monk's robe, sending a rainbow of mist flying. The Buddhist Master's body flew out like a meteor, crashing into a distant peak.
Li Hao swiftly followed, plunging into the mountain and unleashing a series of brutal punches, continuously hammering the Buddhist Master. The Buddha light Dao power on the monk's robe flickered, the rainbow mist rapidly thinning.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The peak shook and crumbled from the middle, the entire mountain collapsing.
Seeing the rainbow light on his robe fading, the Buddhist Master's eyes flared with anger. He suddenly struck out, unleashing another "Compassionate Palm" to suppress Li Hao.
But Li Hao grabbed his hand and twisted it with a fierce jerk.
Crack! The hand broke, bones shattering.
Li Hao yanked the Buddhist Master by the wrist and slammed him into the ground, creating deep craters.
However, the precious robe on the Buddhist Master's body, like a turtle shell, protected him from injury, though the Buddha light on the robe grew even thinner, no longer as brilliant as before.
Li Hao's eyes blazed with fury, and the Heaven-Earth Meridian suddenly drew in power from all directions.
Transcend to Immortality, 70%!
Boom!!
A devastating punch came down, as if a mountain had collapsed.
The Buddhist Master's body was slammed into the ground, sinking hundreds of meters deep. The intense shockwave made the Buddha light on his robe thin out even more.
"You wanted me to fall into darkness, didn't you?"
Li Hao rushed into the ground, grabbed the Buddhist Master by his robe, and lifted him into the air, his eyes cold and stern.
"If I become a demon, I will be the first to destroy the Buddha!"
The Ten Extreme Sword appeared in his palm, and Li Hao, holding the Buddhist Master with one hand, his eyes filled with icy killing intent, swung the sword with the other.
The supreme sword light, combined with Li Hao's power, ruthlessly slashed at the precious robe, causing the rainbow mist to reappear but only to produce a dark, gray stream.
"I underestimated you, and so did everyone else."
As the sword light fiercely rubbed against the Buddha light Dao power, the Buddhist Master's expression remained unchanged, but he stared at Li Hao.
"To force me to this point, to shatter my grand wish to save the world, I will suppress you forever under my seat, preventing you from reincarnating!"
His eyes revealed a rare glint of killing intent.
The calm Buddha light in his eyes faded, and suddenly, a terrifying demonic aura erupted from the robe behind him.
The Heavenly Earth Space opened within the robe, and a dark demonic aura emerged.
The aura was intense, deep, and sharp, and as it appeared, the heavens and earth seemed to echo with the wailing of tormented souls.
A figure shrouded in demonic aura emerged, disheveled hair and icy eyes, exuding intense savagery, a stark contrast to the Buddhist Master's previous demeanor.
"Haha, you still had to rely on my power in the end. I told you, you were incapable."
"To exorcise the world, only through sacrifice can the path be achieved. People are so ignorant; your attempt to exorcise them is even more foolish!"
"Unfortunately, you shouldn't have provoked this boy. We rushed things, and we didn't accumulate enough incense to achieve sainthood. What a pity!"
The disheveled figure sneered and mocked, his body gradually merging with the demon lord, fusing into one.
Li Hao watched the scene unfold under the sword light, his face growing even colder.
Recalling Jiang Lidust's words, he had thought Moluo and the Buddhist Sect were allies, or perhaps the Buddhist Master was just pretending. But now, it was clear that the Buddhist Master was an incarnation of Moluo.
There was no doubt that this overwhelming demonic aura, combined with the Great Peace Dao Realm, was the Moluo Jiang Lidust had mentioned.
When breaking through from the Three Eternities Realm to the Fourth Establishment Realm, some cultivators use Avatar Cultivation Techniques to refine their Dao Heart. The Buddhist Master had chosen this path.
His True Self and Avatar both condensed their Dao Hearts, one being a Buddha Heart and the other a Demon Heart. At this moment, they were merging.
"Is this your greatest hidden secret?"
Li Hao watched as the Buddhist Master continued to merge, his eyes brimming with killing intent. Suddenly, he swung his sword once more!
Bang!
At that moment, the Buddhist Master within the robe suddenly opened his eyes. Although his Moluo body had not yet fully overlapped with his own, a cold, murderous look had already appeared in his eyes.
He abruptly raised his hand, extending it from the Buddha Light Dao Power of the robe, and directly grasped Li Hao's Ten Extreme Sword!
"I had planned to leap to the Enlightenment Realm and directly immerse into Sainthood from the Great Peace Dao Realm. You have ruined my grand plan, and for that, you must die!"
His eyes were pitch black and icy, surrounded by Demonic Qi. The Golden Light within his robe was no longer pure, and his Moluo body was gradually overlapping with his own. In an instant, a vast and overwhelming aura erupted.
A violent tremor sent Li Hao flying backward.
A palm imprint, a blend of Buddha Light and Demonic Qi, followed, radiating the power of the Enlightenment Realm, and struck Li Hao, slamming him into the Spiritual Mountain.
The Spiritual Mountain trembled, and a massive palm appeared at the summit, continuously pressing down, sinking several dozen meters deep.
A fierce Sword Intent suddenly tore through, splitting the divine palm that was a fusion of Buddha and Demon. Li Hao looked up.
The Buddhist Master had silently appeared above the Spiritual Mountain.
The Moluo behind him had completely vanished, merging with him. Pure Golden Light once again radiated from his body, making him appear like an ancient Buddha, emitting boundless pure Yang Buddha Light. However, his eyes showed no emotion, as he looked down upon Li Hao on the ground.
"Die!"
He chanted a single word, as if murmuring a Buddha mantra.
With those words, boundless Dao Power rules condensed in the heavens and earth.
Dao Power surged, and with his words, it acted as Word as Law, sending a terrifying killing intent from all directions toward Li Hao's body.
This power, like Heavenly Destiny, was unstoppable and unshakable.
Bang!
With a single word, Li Hao's body exploded.
Fifteen Dao Domains were powerless against this Great Dao.
He exploded into a cloud of blood mist!
At this moment, the Buddhist Master was not just in the Enlightenment Realm, but in the Dao Law Realm of the Enlightenment Realm!
The Great Dao formed, Word as Law, and a single word was enough to kill!
Seeing Li Hao's body explode, the Buddhist Master's eyes showed a hint of regret. If he had a bit more time to accumulate more Incense Power, he could have achieved sainthood in one step during the fusion of Buddha and Demon!
He was an unparalleled prodigy, pursuing goals that surpassed the imagination of ordinary martial artists, finding the path of gradual cultivation beneath him.
But all his plans had been exposed early, making his path to sainthood more difficult.
As his thoughts raced, a gust of wind rose from the ground, growing stronger and more violent, turning into a hurricane.
"Hmm?"
The Buddhist Master looked down, his eyes showing a flicker of surprise.
The hurricane swirled and condensed, drawing in strands of energy.
These energies compressed to near solidity, resembling threads of Silver Light!
Behind these threads of Silver Light, a half-transparent Heaven-Earth Meridian, stretching out like a spider web, was frantically absorbing the power of heaven and earth.
At the center of the hurricane was the blood mist that had just been blasted apart, even the bones shattered, leaving only pure blood mist.
But now, this blood mist was swirling and condensing, with blood water gathering in the center. When the blood water condensed into a fist-sized mass, it rapidly grew, and in the blink of an eye, Li Hao's body reappeared, covered in golden light, like a deity.
This scene made Jiang Lidust, who was hiding behind the ruins of the Buddha Hall on the Spiritual Mountain, stare with bulging eyes.
Li Hao, reborn from a single blood drop, had hair that was changing from golden to silver-white.
The explosion of his flesh and blood had allowed his Transcend to Immortality power to reach near perfection.
"Enlightenment Realm..."
Li Hao slowly lifted his head, his silver-white eyes filled with icy killing intent:
"Have you ever heard of 'Hearing the Dao in the Morning, One Can Die in the Evening!'"
