Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

Elder Cisong also realized it was a critical moment and, without saying much, first formed the Inner Lion Seal to suppress his internal injuries.

Then, he turned to confront Tang Xiaotang, who was pursuing the Vajra Sect Leader.

As his Buddhist aura condensed into an illusory Vajra Pestle, furious flames of the Bright King suddenly appeared around his body.

This elder of the Sumi Vajra Sect, whose qualifications were extremely senior and was becoming quite elderly, was now fighting desperately.

A Buddhist Hand Seal cultivator of the Fourth Layer of the Ninth Heavenly Layer can also manifest furious flames of the Bright King.

But without achieving the Vajra Body, they cannot endure it; forcibly manifesting it would harm both the enemy and themselves.

However, in this dangerous moment, Elder Cisong could only do his utmost to intercept Tang Xiaotang, in hopes of buying time for the Vajra Sect Leader.

If the Vajra Sect Leader could break the formation, they would have a chance to return to Sumi.

The invisible and colorless furious flames of the Bright King surrounded and enveloped Tang Xiaotang.

But the nine-colored radiance flashing all over Tang Xiaotang, the Mixed Cavern Nine Qi Nine Lights interwoven around her body, successfully shielded her from the threat of Elder Cisong’s furious flames.

Meanwhile, Garuda advanced closer to Lei Jun and the formation’s core.

Lei Jun observed his adversary’s enraged appearance.

The purple Yang Thunder Dragon and the emerald Yin Fire Tiger roared silently in the black and white world.

The Vajra Sect Leader, fully clad in blue, displaying his Vajra True Intent in its entirety, moved directly through the thunder and fire, approaching the formation’s core.

His pace suddenly slowed.

In the void, cold light circulated and shimmered.

Within the silent black and white formation, the previously jarring sound of the Primordial Magnetic Force’s agitation was nowhere to be heard now.

Only the continuous flashes of sword light remained.

"Your Flying Sword... That strike with the Celestial Master’s Sword earlier, was it you?!" the Vajra Sect Leader blurted out.

At the same time, the Seven-Star Sword had already shot towards him.

But the Vajra Sect Leader’s senses were sharp, his reactions swift.

Whether dodging or using the Five-Cobalt Vajra Scepter to deflect, Lei Jun’s flying swords missed one after another.

The Vajra Sect Leader was initially charging towards the Eclipse Lotus Seat of the Ninth Grade.

But now he directly charged towards Lei Jun.

The Five-Cobalt Vajra Scepter concentrated the furious flames of the Bright King, manifesting the Grand Bright King Divine Blade, and slashed down towards Lei Jun’s head!

Such a terrifying strike, if it hit, even Lei Jun’s double Divine Court Cosmos or being clad in the Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat would not withstand it.

But at this moment, the Dual Immortal Array suddenly transformed, the Yin-Yang reversed and returned to unity.

The two Eclipse Lotus Seats of the Ninth Grade, originally apart, now merged into one upright and one inverted, uniting above and below, halting the Vajra Sect Leader’s strike and fixing the Five-Cobalt Vajra Scepter in place.

Above Lei Jun’s head, the Celestial Master Seal, previously used to subdue the Mount Sumeru Portal, flashed with purple, gold, and blue light, then descended towards the Vajra Sect Leader.

The Vajra Sect Leader, holding the Five-Cobalt Vajra Scepter in one hand, used the Earth-Touching Seal with the other.

His palm fell downward.

An immeasurable force shook upwards.

The Celestial Master Seal was instantly unable to press down further.

As the Vajra Sect Leader prepared to change his moves, Lei Jun suddenly revealed a handful of Black Bodhi Seeds.

Numerous Black Bodhi Seeds rose into the air, forming a dark Bodhi Tree in mid-air.

The trunk of the Bodhi Tree wrapped around the Vajra Sect Leader’s body.

His entire body, which was originally blue due to the Vajra Body, suddenly faded to gold, turning into Buddhist light.

This change caused the Vajra Sect Leader to temporarily lose his Ninth Heavenly Layer Perfection Vajra Body.

Caught off guard, much of his Buddhist light was burned away by his own furious flames of the Bright King.

The Vajra Sect Leader grunted but did not extinguish the furious flames.

Instead, the furious flames of the Bright King around him burned even more fiercely.

They harmed both himself and Lei Jun!

A misty rain surrounded Lei Jun’s body, and the Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat unfurled, its tendrils like angry dragons.

Yet at this moment, facing the furious flames of the Bright King, the tendrils shrank and even showed signs of withering.

The Vajra Sect Leader seized this opportunity to forcefully retrieve the Five-Cobalt Vajra Scepter.

But at that instant, he glimpsed a faint light gleaming from the center of Lei Jun’s calm brow.

In the blink of an eye, this seemingly minuscule, yet immensely concentrated ray of light burst forth from Lei Jun’s brow!

Yin-Yang Divine Pinnacle Light!

The current distance between them was so close that, even with the abilities of the Vajra Sect Leader, he couldn’t block or evade this fast and concentrated strike.

His Vajra Body, previously broken by the Black Bodhi Seed, was now pierced through by Lei Jun’s Yin-Yang Divine Pinnacle Light!

Another one!

Another all-new supernatural spell from the Celestial Master Mansion—a unique skill distinct from their past traditions?!

The Vajra Sect Leader staggered backward, a seemingly small wound on his body ignited with thunder and fire, causing the wound to rapidly expand.

On the other side, Elder Cisong’s situation worsened, as the Bright Moon Wheel of Perfection was broken again by Tang Xiaotang!

This breach essentially announced Elder Cisong’s fall from having the Bright Moon Wheel of Perfection to only holding a Dharma Body at the First Layer of the Ninth Heavenly Layer.

"Over here, Master Uncle!"

Severely wounded, yet undaunted, the Vajra Sect Leader Garuda used the formation’s transformation, during the merging of the two Eclipse Lotus Seats of the Ninth Grade, to seize the fleeting opportunity. He endured the self-harming furious flames of the Bright King and swung the Five-Cobalt Vajra Scepter at the formation once more!

Through this time of confrontation, the Buddhist Sect’s Wisdom Eye continuously deduced, allowing the Vajra Sect Leader to gradually become familiar with the formation.

Though the strike with the Five-Cobalt Vajra Scepter did not break the formation, it reopened the Mount Sumeru Portal that the formation had previously enveloped and suppressed.

A hall, illuminated with golden radiance, rose in the black and white world.

The radiance formed a portal, and both the Vajra Sect Leader and the heavily injured Elder Cisong quickly threw themselves into it.

"Even if I have to chase you to Sumi today, you won’t escape!" Tang Xiaotang transformed into a golden thunder light, pursuing right behind.
