Chapter 445: Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian Triple Cultivation! Lin Fan's Sudden Attack, Slaying!
2024-10-11
Xu Wei Yi was startled.
But...
It wasn't as 'terrifying' as it seemed.
As she had said many times before, she had long prepared for death and had been working towards this day, this moment, her entire life.
Dying in the Multiverse Abyss was a fitting end, a destiny she had long accepted.
She didn't care about her own danger.
But over at Lin Fan's side...
She mustered all her strength to barely hold off her opponent and rushed towards Lin Fan.
In the instant the elder unleashed his power, Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, sensing something amiss.
"Buddhist and Taoist Dual Cultivation?!"
"Before, I only displayed Taoist techniques, which allowed me to survive until now. With the addition of Buddhist methods, this won't be simple."
"However..."
"To think that with just this, they want to take us down. They truly underestimate me."
Lin Fan's true body looked up.
The three thousand incarnations followed suit.
But at this moment, they had no intention of intervening, still 'gathering strength' and 'buffing up'.
Lin Fan's chest glowed.
"Heaven's Tribulation Light, Heaven's Hand!"
The first supreme technique originated from Shi Hao.
Originally, it was the Heaven's Tribulation Light, but Shi Hao developed a second form, allowing it to transform into the Heaven's Hand, capable of annihilating all things!
Boom!
In the sky, the dazzling Buddha Light was suddenly 'hit' from above! As if from a higher realm, an even more astonishing radiance descended, piercing through the Buddha Light as if hitting it. The surrounding tribulation light caused countless floating 'sutras' to shatter.
Then, the light converged into the Heaven's Hand, descending from above, faster and with a late start...
Faster, larger, and stronger!
The Heaven's Hand, despite its late start, reached first, grasping the golden handprint shimmering with Buddha Light and directly... squeezing it! Boom!
The Buddha's hand shattered, and the Buddha Light scattered, but it was perfectly controlled by the Heaven's Hand, unable to escape, gradually fading and dissipating into nothingness.
"You?!"
The elder's face paled slightly.
At this critical moment, Xu Wei Yi, who had been watching the situation, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned to attack the elder.
The elder's gaze intensified, and he spoke softly, "Buddha is the Way."
"Buddha's Power Assists the Way!"
"Scram!"
He struck with both hands, clearly using two different secret techniques, but after the attack, it was evident that they had merged into a 'Dao Seal', an overwhelming strike with deadly force.
Xu Wei Yi's heart raced.
It was as if every cell in her body was screaming in warning.
"Not good!"
She sensed the power of the strike and knew that if she charged forward, death was certain.
She quickly halted her attack, and as she retreated, her immortal sword created afterimages.
"Twelve Form Sword Shield Technique!"
She was blasted away.
Blood sprayed from her mouth.
Fortunately, she withstood the attack, and although it wasn't too severe, she was still injured.
"Senior Xu."
Lin Fan appeared behind her, catching her steadily. Despite her minor injury, he directly fed her a ninth-grade replenishing pill, and as the other party stared in confusion, he said, "Don't worry, you just need to keep them at a distance and cause some trouble."
"This old guy is hiding something."
"Don't be careless."
"..."
"You're right."
Xu Wei Yi's face reddened, "But could you please let me go first? And I have my own pills, you don't need to force-feed me... If Gu Xinglian sees this, she might think something's going on between us."
Lin Fan: "..."
You're really something, aren't you? He discreetly released Xu Wei Yi and whispered, "Don't get the wrong idea, I just didn't want you to waste the pill. I have plenty of them."
"No need to be frugal."
He indeed had an abundance of pills!
His 'harvest' within the Multiverse Abyss was substantial.
Even though the Abyss itself had almost no medicinal ingredients, others did!
Those he killed not only had pills but also medicinal ingredients~
Whatever possessions they carried, once slain by Lin Fan, became his gain.
Combined with his own supply, he had more pills than he could consume.
In the less than a month remaining, he couldn't finish them even if he ate them like candy beans!
"I... understand."
Xu Wei Yi nodded and immediately followed Lin Fan's advice, harassing the enemy from a distance.
The three thousand Lin Fan incarnations...
Their buffs were finally complete.
"It's our turn."
They spoke in unison, as if copied and pasted.
They were identical, not differing by even a hair!
The advantage of this was that they were in 'sync', allowing their attacks to 'merge', triggering a qualitative change through quantitative accumulation!
"Willow Deity Technique!"
Boom!
The three thousand Lin Fan incarnations attacked.
The void trembled!
Three thousand willow tree shadows appeared.
Each willow tree had countless roots, and these roots were connected to the myriad realms! Each tree had three thousand branches, and on each branch, there were three thousand willow leaves, and each leaf supported a world!
This astonishing scene made the elder's hair stand on end, and he was shocked.
"What is this?!"
"A world tree?!"
"Nonsense!"
The green-clad woman who had fought Gu Xinglian exclaimed, "I've seen a world tree before, and the Decade Crown Sovereign has one. But from the outside, this willow tree is far superior!"
"What?!"
The elder's hair stood on end.
Damn, even more impressive than a world tree? But upon further thought, it seemed plausible.
The world tree's power came from its ability to support a world after reaching maturity. But these willow trees...
As many leaves as there were, they supported just as many worlds...
This difference was staggering!
"No, that's not it!"
"Don't scare yourself. This isn't real; it's just a shadow, an illusion!"
Her words were true.
But he was genuinely terrified.
This phenomenon was incredibly extraordinary. After all, how could someone from the lower realm possess such an extraordinary phenomenon?
In the face of such a 'Willow Tree', if it truly existed, even in the Immortal Realm, or even in the legendary Divine Realm, it would be a revered and sacred existence, right?
"Huff!"
"Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere."
"Sixteen-Foot Golden Body!"
"Buddhism's Seventy-Two Ultimate Techniques!"
"Dao, Dao, Dao, the Unorthodox Dao!"
He frantically unleashed his ultimate skill, clashing with Lin Fan!
Three thousand Lin Fans attacked simultaneously, and as the Willow Deity Technique was unleashed, countless willow branches danced in the air, not directly offensive, but the terrifying control it exerted surpassed everyone's imagination.
"Not good!"
"This is bad!"
The Buddhist-Taoist dual cultivator, Lao Deng, had a difficult expression, and with a single retreat, he was already tens of thousands of miles away.
But these emerald-green willow branches instantly pierced through the void, sealing him!
Even with all his tricks, they were of no use, unable to block them at all.
"Damn it!"
His face turned ashen.
Just as he was about to be bound like a zongzi by the countless willow branches and completely suppressed, he roared, "Do you think I only have these tricks?"
He tore open his Daoist robe, revealing a string of Buddhist beads.
The sky was illuminated by dazzling Buddha light.
"Behold my treasure!"
The Buddhist beads shone brightly.
Astonishingly, each bead glowed with a dazzling light, and Lin Fan could see at a glance that these beads were extraordinary.
Strictly speaking...
These were not ordinary Buddhist beads!
They were the sariras of high-ranking Buddhist monks.
Each 'Buddhist bead' was a sarira left behind by a high-ranking monk who had attained enlightenment, and the thirty-six beads were the 'afterglow' of thirty-six enlightened monks!
Boom!
Thirty-six Buddha auras manifested at this moment.
They seemed to reflect the heavens, opening up this world, and even the attacks of the three thousand Immortal Flower incarnations using the Willow Deity Technique were blocked, causing their forward momentum to suddenly drop.
"There's more!"
"Here comes the sword!"
As he raised his hand, a peach wood sword appeared in his palm!
Nine thunderbolt imprints flickered on its surface, and a dense aura of destruction spread.
"Be careful!"
"Nine Tribulation Thunderstrike Wood!"
Xu Wei Yi's expression changed slightly, and she quickly spoke up as a reminder.
The battle had reached such an extent that she couldn't find an opportunity to intervene.
"Nine Tribulation Thunderstrike Wood?"
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow.
This was the first time he had seen such a thing.
The so-called Nine Tribulation Thunderstrike Wood was an ancient peach tree that had survived nine tribulations of lightning without perishing!
This thing was even rarer and more powerful than a twelve-tribulation Loose Immortal!
This Thunderstrike Wood, having endured nine tribulations, would give birth to some 'Destruction Principles' after each lightning strike, but since it was still alive, it also possessed a strong 'Life Principle'.
In other words...
This object simultaneously contained the principles of life and destruction, a 'contradictory entity'.
And precisely because of this contradiction, its power was exceptionally fierce!
"So what if I know?"
"Break it!!!
Lao Deng roared, and as a Buddhist-Taoist dual cultivator, he exerted his full strength at this moment, finally freezing the Willow Deity Technique, preventing it from advancing even a hair's breadth.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
He breathed heavily, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, "That's all there is to it."
"Finally..."
"Is that so?"
Lin Fan smiled.
At the same time, his true self also unleashed his power.
It was also the Willow Deity Technique.
It was also a towering willow tree...
But when he attacked, he absorbed all the attacks of the three thousand Immortal Flower incarnations, as if merging into one.
The three thousand willow trees also disappeared at this moment...
Leaving only a single one!
This towering willow tree blocked out the sun, its roots reaching into countless worlds, and the divine might it gathered shook the heavens and the earth. In the distance, countless beings were constantly kneeling and praying!
Even more astonishing was...
This willow tree phenomenon became extraordinarily solid at this moment, as if it were about to materialize and descend upon them.
"Break!"
Lin Fan struck out.
A willow branch instantly shot out like an immortal spear, piercing through chaos, unstoppable!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The sariras exploded one after another.
Lao Deng's expression changed drastically.
Before he could react, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale.
He clenched his teeth and roared, "How dare you!"
"You forced me!"
"You... forced me!"
"Heaven's Path is Vigorous, the Gentleman Strengthens Himself Unceasingly!"
"Vast and Upright Universe, Righteousness Endures Forever!"
"Vast Righteousness, Aid Me in Slaying the Enemy!"
Boom!
"Iron-Blooded Heart!"
Around Lao Deng, a dense Buddha light and Dao principles emerged, and a third type of energy rose from the ground, charging straight into the sky.
Everyone was shaken.
"A Buddhist-Taoist-Confucian Triple Cultivator?!"
"And his Confucian techniques and cultivation are no weaker than his Buddhist and Taoist ones?!"
"A Buddhist-Taoist-Confucian Triple Cultivator, and he can advance them all simultaneously? This old man... is also a freak!"
They stared in disbelief, all of them startled.
Buddhist-Taoist dual cultivators were rare, but not unheard of. But a Buddhist-Taoist-Confucian triple cultivator? There were such people, but they were few and far between, truly like phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
The most critical point was that triple cultivators were usually 'weak'.
It was too much of a distraction and a waste of energy!
Even with this talent, after being distracted by the energy drain, their achievements would not be too high.
They were usually overly ambitious, but their final accomplishments were often mediocre.
But this old man...
...
Lao Deng erupted!
A Buddhist-Taoist-Confucian triple cultivator, and he could even perfectly fuse these three energies, creating his unique ultimate skill!
"Impressive."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.
"As expected, no one who has survived the attraction of the World Heart is weak."
"A Buddhist-Taoist-Confucian triple cultivator..."
"Indeed rare."
His technique had been blocked!
As the old willow cultivator went crazy, fusing the three energies, even Lin Fan's spear created by the Willow Deity Technique was blocked, and it would be difficult to break through in a short time.
The elder's condition wasn't looking good either.
His hair and beard were wild, his face twisted in a hideous grimace, clearly indicating immense exhaustion.
Lin Fan frowned slightly.
In comparison...
Actually, he had also expended a considerable amount of energy.
They stood in a stalemate for a moment.
Boom!!!
The willow tree's shadow faded and eventually disappeared completely.
The three thousand incarnations also scattered with the wind...
The Immortal Petal Incarnation was powerful, but it couldn't last indefinitely, especially in such an intense battle with significant negative effects. It was natural that it couldn't endure for too long.
"Hahaha!"
The elder laughed excitedly, "Just as I thought!"
"Youngster, I approve of you."
"Among those I know who possess the art of creating clones, you are the best."
"But..."
"I won!"
He seemed delirious, and his attack, a mutated fusion of Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian powers, was both astonishing and bizarre, causing hearts to tremble.
"Be careful."
Xu Weiyi tried to block, but she couldn't withstand it at all. She was blown away after just one clash.
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, "You..."
"No, who told you that I've used up all my clones?"
The elder was taken aback.
He couldn't quite understand what Lin Fan meant.
But then Lin Fan smiled, "Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body."
The Immortal Petal Incarnation was temporarily 'disabled'.
Moreover, there was a brief cooldown period, and the energy consumption was significant, so it wasn't advisable to use it again in a short time.
But...
Who said he only knew one type of clone?!
Rip!
Thunderous light filled the sky!
At the same time, countless Lin Fans stepped on lightning and space, and the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Bodies simultaneously attacked, overwhelming the opponent's offense. Each illusionary body held a fire lotus, ready to blast the elder.
At the same moment, Lin Fan swung his sword!
"Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian Triple Cultivation, is this your ultimate move?"
"It's indeed powerful, but..."
"It's not enough!"
"One Sword Beyond the World!"
Boom!
Lin Fan forcefully slashed with his sword, and with just one strike, space and time became chaotic!
The elder and the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Bodies were 'cut down' by his sword, creating a temporarily separate space!
At the same time, the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Bodies and the fire lotuses in their hands detonated...
It was as if, within a sealed space, three thousand fire lotuses were detonated simultaneously... along with three thousand illusionary bodies!
Thunder and fire intertwined!
The high temperature spread.
The terrifying offensive instantly turned this space into a sieve.
There was nowhere to hide!
There was no way to dodge; one could only withstand it head-on.
But this super-strengthened, closed-door dog-beating version of a phased array nuclear explosion...
Was truly deadly!
At least, the elder couldn't take it anymore.
He had already reached his limit.
The Triple Cultivation, especially when the three powers were fused, almost surpassed a portion of 'Immortal Energy', but it also had its limits.
Moreover, the burden on his own body was immense.
At this moment...
Facing this terrifying phased array nuclear explosion, he could no longer withstand it, and he perished.
Soul and body were annihilated!
Not a single hair was left behind.
Furthermore, Lin Fan used his Eye Technique to observe with utmost clarity, and Guan Tian Jing Wu, who had been watching all along, could confirm that this Triple Cultivation elder was thoroughly annihilated by Lin Fan!
"..."
Xu Weiyi's scalp tingled.
This ability...
Was so powerful it seemed boundless!
If she had taken his place, death would have been certain.
"..."
Xu Weiyi's heart trembled.
But amidst her astonishment, she couldn't help but marvel at the youth's prowess and the strength of the Yin Tai Divine Body!
In her opinion, although Lin Fan was already strong before, compared to now...
He was truly lacking.
These three years and almost four years of 'arduous cultivation'...
"Sss!"
"..."
"Your skills have indeed improved significantly."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, "I feel much better."
His abilities hadn't changed much, but their power had increased substantially.
This was naturally due to the growth of his own strength.
During this time, he didn't know how many times he had suppressed his cultivation, or else he might have attracted the Thunder Tribulation early.
He didn't know if the Ten Thousand Realms Abyss had the Thunder Tribulation.
"Come on!"
Although he was speaking, his actions didn't stop for a moment. He directly called out to Xu Weiyi, and together they charged towards the green-skirted woman facing Gu Xinglian.
Xu Weiyi naturally didn't hesitate and immediately joined the battle.
The green-skirted woman, who had initially gained the upper hand against Gu Xinglian, was now suddenly facing three opponents. Especially with Lin Fan's 'abnormal' strength, she couldn't help but show a difficult expression.
Lin Fan's trio worked together with impeccable coordination. After just a few exchanges, they forced the green-skirted woman to retreat step by step. She couldn't help but exclaim, "What kind of hero bullies the weak with numbers?!"
"We are women, not heroes." Xu Weiyi continued her attacks while responding.
Gu Xinglian nodded, "Indeed, I'm just a weak woman."
The green-skirted woman was stumped, and while defending, she glared at them.
Lin Fan spread his hands, "Why are you looking at me? I'm a man!"
"But I never said I wanted to be a hero."
"So..."
Humm~!
The long sword trembled.
Lin Fan stepped on lightning and space, appearing behind the green-skirted woman in an instant.
"Sword Twenty-Three!"
The woman's body stiffened for a moment! But she was truly powerful, as she quickly recovered from the impact of Sword Twenty-Three and blocked the Soul Spirit Sword!
"Slash Dao Art!"
But at the same time, Lin Fan unleashed the Slash Dao Art and the Nine Secrets, launching a new round of Soul Spirit offensive.
"Ah!"
The green-skirted woman couldn't help but roar in pain.
Just as she was about to push back the three who were surrounding her, forcing her to retreat and catch her breath, suddenly her vision blurred.
A pair of red eyes swiftly enlarged, filling her entire field of view in an instant...
