Chapter 369: Buddha's Body! Shocking Collision! Killing the Elder!

2024-10-12

Above Lu Qing's head, the gray-robed elder's body radiated a brilliant golden light.

A colossal Buddha shadow appeared behind him.

The gray-robed elder's expression was cold and stern as he stood on a golden gondola, and with a palm strike, he pressed down towards Lu Qing below.

As the palm descended, the Buddha shadow behind the gray-robed elder also extended a giant palm, pressing down on Lu Qing in the air.

With this palm strike, a heavenly chant seemed to resound through the heavens and earth, and golden runes encircled the giant palm of the Buddha shadow.

Carrying an overwhelming aura, it suppressed Lu Qing.

It turned out that earlier, the gray-robed elder had seemingly been forced down from the sky by the arrow formation and was captured by Lu Qing using the Earth Pulse Magnetic Force.

In reality, it was all a ploy, intending to lower Lu Qing's guard so that he could launch a deadly strike at close range.

"Indeed, one must never underestimate any Foundation Establishment Stage powerhouse."

Feeling the overwhelming power of the Buddha's giant palm, Lu Qing couldn't help but exclaim.

The gray-robed elder had obviously been holding back, only using the golden shuttle magical artifact to fight.

Even when surrounded by Lu Qing's arrow formation, he feigned weakness and pretended to be forced down.

It seemed like he had fallen into Lu Qing's trap, but in reality, he was turning the tables, also plotting against him.

Only when he was close enough would he unleash his killing move.

The giant Buddha's palm covered a significant area, enveloping a radius of over ten zhang above Lu Qing's head.

Not only was it fast, but its aura was incredibly powerful.

Before the giant palm fully descended, the immense suppression force bound Lu Qing, making his body sluggish and difficult to dodge.

Surprisingly, it seemed to turn the tables, intending to blast Lu Qing and his domain into smithereens.

"It seems I have to get serious."

Looking at the massive Buddha's palm before him, Lu Qing's body shimmered with a bright radiance.

The next moment, the Buddha's palm had landed where Lu Qing was.

Dust and debris filled the air, and the ground within a radius of over ten zhang was dented by the palm strike.

From above, a giant palm print suddenly appeared on the plain, creating a striking visual effect.

This palm strike was so powerful that it was enough to make any Primordial Realm cultivator's face pale and their heart tremble.

"Hmm?"

However, upon witnessing the devastating destruction caused by his attack, the gray-robed elder's expression didn't show the slightest hint of satisfaction. Instead, his face changed.

He felt that the Earth Pulse Magnetic Force binding him hadn't completely disappeared but was still entangling him, hindering his movements.

Staring intently downwards, his pupils suddenly vanished.

Below, the dust and debris suddenly shook and exploded in all directions.

A figure with a white radiance emerged from the dust, rushing towards the gray-robed elder at an extreme speed.

The gray-robed elder was startled, and without hesitation, he channeled his soul, striking out with a palm.

At the same time, the Buddha shadow behind him stirred up endless gales, and once again, it pressed down on Lu Qing in the air with a palm strike!

Faced with the dazzling golden light and the massive Buddha's palm rushing towards him, Lu Qing's gaze remained calm, showing no trace of panic.

Even his battle sword and arrows had somehow been stored in the Heaven and Earth Qi Bag.

A gentle breeze enveloped his body, further increasing his speed.

With a clenched fist, he neither dodged nor retreated, directly meeting the Buddha's palm with a punch!

Roar!

As Lu Qing's fist struck out, a tiger's roar reverberated in the sky, and the gray-robed elder seemed to see an ancient giant tiger emerge from Lu Qing's body.

The gray-robed elder was even more astonished, knowing that Lu Qing's fist intent was so intense that it interfered with his soul, creating an illusion.

Boom!

Fist and palm collided in the air, stirring up another whirlwind. High above, the air exploded into layers of white mist, unleashing a violent gale.

If they were on the ground, it would have caused a sandstorm, with flying sand and toppling trees.

Seeing the disparity in size, Lu Qing seemed like an insignificant insect before the over ten zhang wide Buddha's palm, like an ant trying to shake a tree.

However, the reality was far from what met the eye. As Lu Qing's fist landed, the giant Buddha's palm, translucent like jade, began to crack, spreading from the point of impact and quickly covering the entire palm and even the arm.

Finally, it shattered completely.

"How is this possible?!"

Witnessing the shattered Buddha's palm, the gray-robed with disbelief.

He couldn't believe that the Buddha's body, manifested with the help of a treasure within his body, could be so easily crushed.

With a single punch, Lu Qing shattered the Buddha's arm. Without hesitation, he descended several zhang, dissipating the backlash before ascending again, directly confronting the gray-robed elder.

There was only one chance, and as long as the gray-robed elder remained in the air with the golden gondola, he could both attack and defend, almost guaranteeing an invincible position.

After finally getting close to the elder, Lu Qing couldn't let this golden opportunity slip away.

He had already seen the Buddha's phantom arm, which he had shattered, slowly regenerating, so he had to act swiftly and decisively.

With the power of the Spirit Talisman, Lu Qing also possessed a brief ability to fly, and he quickly closed in on the grey-robed elder, unleashing another fist.

Having witnessed the power of Lu Qing's fists, the grey-robed elder dared not block it directly.

But just like before, he turned the tables, deliberately entering Lu Qing's domain to relax his vigilance and launch a killing move. However, he also became trapped in Lu Qing's domain, bound by the Earth Pulse Magnetic Force, causing his speed to drop significantly.

Wanting to retreat, he realized it was too late.

With no other choice, he pinched his incantation, commanding the other arm of the Buddha Avatar to continue striking towards Lu Qing with a palm.

But this time, without any surprises, as their fists and palms clashed, the other arm of the Buddha Avatar was also shattered by Lu Qing's fist.

A gentle breeze appeared as Lu Qing once again approached the grey-robed elder and unleashed another punch.

This time, the grey-robed elder had no means to counter.

He could only muster his spiritual energy and strike out with a palm, meeting Lu Qing's fist.

However, even his strongest move couldn't block Lu Qing's fist.

Although the grey-robed elder's body was also exceptionally tempered, how could he possibly be Lu Qing's match?

Under Lu Qing's unparalleled fist might, his arm exploded instantly, and the entire person vomited blood profusely, detaching from the golden gondola and flying backwards.

"Great opportunity!"

Lu Qing had been eyeing the golden gondola for a long time, and at this moment, he didn't even bother chasing after the enemy. He grabbed onto the small boat, his soul stirring, intending to take it for himself.

Coincidentally, the grey-robed elder was heavily injured at this moment. Lu Qing's punch not only carried immense power but also a vast fist intent that had condensed on his fist.

The grey-robed elder was shocked by the fist intent, his soul nearly shattering, and he couldn't spare any attention to control the golden gondola.

As a result, Lu Qing smoothly stored the small boat into the Heaven and Earth Qi Bag.

Immediately after, as he looked at the grey-robed elder still in midair, a gentle breeze stirred around Lu Qing, and he pursued him once more.

It might seem complicated, but in reality, from the moment Lu Qing knocked the grey-robed elder off the golden gondola to taking possession of the small boat, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

When Lu Qing reached the grey-robed elder, the latter hadn't even hit the ground yet.

Facing the grey-robed elder's terrified gaze, Lu Qing's expressionless face unleashed another fierce punch, slamming into the elder's chest.

Boom!

Lu Qing held nothing back with this punch, and as his fist landed on the grey-robed elder's chest, the fist might erupted, instantly tearing apart the elder's body.

However, as a fully accomplished Foundation Establishment Realm powerhouse, the grey-robed elder's physical strength far exceeded that of a Primordial Realm expert.

Despite enduring Lu Qing's terrifying fist might, the grey-robed elder still didn't explode completely.

His chest was torn open with a large hole, piercing front to back, and he slammed heavily into the ground, creating a massive crater.

Lu Qing also landed next to the crater, gazing at the grey-robed elder, who was barely breathing, his eyes now indifferent.

The grey-robed elder had endured Lu Qing's attack while in the state of Body Radiance, and although his body wasn't completely shattered, it was evident that he wouldn't survive.

"Body Radiance, so you're also a Body Cultivator!"

The grey-robed elder's consciousness was still present, and as he saw the white radiance on Lu Qing's body, he realized with a start.

According to the records left by the predecessors of Floating Mountain, the lineage of Body Cultivators was extremely formidable.

Although they had many shortcomings, in terms of combat strength, they could be ranked among the top three in various cultivation sects.

Especially in close combat, they were virtually invincible.

The fact that he had been defeated by a Body Cultivator who had reached the Body Radiance Realm meant that he had lost without regrets.

"However, there's one thing I've never understood. What grudge does your Floating Mountain have with me? Why did you slaughter my Floating Mountain disciples?"

The grey-robed elder, knowing he couldn't escape death, fixed his gaze on the ghost face mask on Lu Qing's face, asking the question that had always puzzled him.

However, Lu Qing didn't answer as he wished.

Expressionless, Lu Qing said, "You can figure that out when you go to hell!"

He unleashed another punch, and under the raging fist might, the grey-robed elder, already heavily injured and on the brink of death, couldn't muster any spiritual energy for defense.

In his terror, he was shattered by Lu Qing's punch, turning into a mist of blood.

Just as the grey-robed elder's body exploded, a grey light shot out from the blood mist, rushing towards Lu Qing's brow center acupoint.

The speed was so fast that it caught everyone off guard.

But the next moment, just as the grey light was about to hit Lu Qing's brow center, a golden phantom of a magical robe appeared from Lu Qing's body, completely enveloping and protecting him.

The grey light collided with the phantom robe, immediately sizzling and being scorched by it.

"Ah! Virtue Power, this is impossible!"

The grey-robed elder's shocked and angry voice had just sounded when the grey light was thoroughly extinguished, and his voice also completely dissipated.

The gray light was actually the divine soul of the Grey Robe Elder.

Knowing that he couldn't escape his fate, he still refused to give up.

At the moment of death, he unleashed a secret divine soul technique, attempting a desperate struggle to invade Lu Qing's brow center acupoint.

If he could crush Lu Qing's divine soul, it would be ideal, as he could then possess Lu Qing's body and gain a powerful body cultivator's physique.

Even if he couldn't possess the body, as long as he could severely injure Lu Qing's divine soul, it would temporarily hold off a formidable enemy for Floating Mountain, and he could leave his divine soul's aura on the opponent for future tracking and interception.

However, he never expected that Lu Qing's body possessed a Virtue Robe capable of blocking all divine soul attacks.

This rendered the Grey Robe Elder's plan futile, as his divine soul was instantly incinerated by the Virtue Robe.

"These old fellows sure have a lot of tricks up their sleeves."

Lu Qing touched his brow, feeling a sense of awe.

The divine soul attack was incredibly fast, almost catching him off guard.

But even if the Grey Robe Elder had invaded his brow center acupoint, Lu Qing wouldn't have panicked.

On the contrary, he felt that if the Grey Robe Elder saw what was inside his brow center acupoint, he would be the one most likely to be scared to death.

Protected by the Earth Spirit Orb and the Soul Talisman's multiple layers of defense, Lu Qing didn't believe that anyone below the Golden Core Realm could harm him with a divine soul attack.

After dispelling the Grey Robe Elder's final attack, Lu Qing's gaze fell into the pit.

He noticed that even after his body was blasted into a bloody mist by Lu Qing's punch, there was still something that survived.

It was a bead with a faint golden glow, floating in mid-air.

Lu Qing realized that this was probably the Grey Robe Elder's unusual treasure.

Just as he was about to examine it with his abilities, his expression changed, and he looked towards the Spirit Mountain Range.

His keen intuition told him that there seemed to be another powerful aura approaching from that direction.

Moreover, this aura subtly gave him a sense of crisis.

Sensing this, Lu Qing didn't hesitate. He quickly grabbed the golden bead and stored it in the Heaven and Earth Qi Bag.

"Xiao Li, come here!"

Xiao Li, who had been hiding nearby and setting up an array for Lu Qing, suddenly appeared in the air and jumped into Lu Qing's embrace.

Holding Xiao Li, Lu Qing's body emitted a green light, transforming into a beam of light that sped away into the distance.

This time, he held nothing back, fully unleashing the power of the Spirit Talisman.

At the same time, he channeled his spiritual energy through his limbs and bones, taking a step that carried him dozens of zhang away, and with another step, he covered another few dozen zhang.

In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a beam of light and vanished into the distant horizon.

After several dozen breaths, a figure appeared at the site of Lu Qing's battle with the Grey Robe Elder.

After observing the scene with a solemn expression, his face suddenly changed, and he descended into the pit where the Grey Robe Elder had fallen.

Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, his face turned ashen.

He sensed that the divine soul aura of the Withering Prosperity Elder seemed to have completely disappeared here.

...

After leaving the battlefield, Lu Qing pushed his Spirit Talisman and Body Techniques to their limits, transforming into a beam of light that sped away.

He ran for several hundred li, and after confirming that no one was chasing him, he finally hid in a deep mountain cave.

With a spirit tool that could conceal his presence and the Soul Talisman's ability to hide his aura, Lu Qing believed that as long as he wanted to hide, almost no one in the world could detect his traces.

After quietly waiting in the cave for half an hour, and confirming that no one was pursuing him, Lu Qing finally relaxed.

Earlier, he had sensed a faint dangerous aura from the Spirit Mountain Range.

Although the aura wasn't strong, Lu Qing didn't want to take any risks.

After all, he was in the shadows, while Floating Mountain was in the open.

As long as he didn't want to be found, his opponents wouldn't be able to track him down.

So, why take unnecessary risks?

The Grey Robe Elder's performance had revealed that Floating Mountain's foundation was indeed profound, and they possessed many treasures.

Even he had to use many trump cards to slay the Grey Robe Elder.

If the incoming person was more formidable than the Grey Robe Elder, Lu Qing might not be able to escape so easily.

If he got entangled in a tough battle, and the opponent sent reinforcements, he might be in serious trouble.

His primary purpose in coming to the Western Province was to cause trouble for Floating Mountain, not to fight them to the death.

For now, it was better to remain hidden in the shadows.

After all, he had already gained a lot from his battle with the Grey Robe Elder.

After digesting this battle, he could still seek trouble for Floating Mountain later.

With this thought, Lu Qing took out a stack of jade talismans, flicked them into the ground, and set up a simple aura concealment formation.

Then, he flipped his hand and took out a golden gondola from the Heaven and Earth Qi Bag.
