Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

The foundation of the Four-eyed Python Emperor transformed from that of a Great Demon to the Buddhist Hand Seal Lineage cultivation, achieving a Buddhist Dharma Body.

Although he had not yet cultivated the Bright Moon Wheel of Perfection, the achievement of the Buddhist Dharma Body in the Hand Seal Lineage emphasized both physical and mental aspects. The Vajra Division in the Vajra Realm particularly emphasized the Vajra True Intent’s offense and defense, making the body extraordinarily resilient.

Yet at this moment, the purple thunder descended like a divine punishment, making it hard for the Four-eyed Python Emperor to resist.

His body was resilient, his vitality strong, yet he was severed into two segments, still writhing and struggling on the ground.

However, the terrifying purple thunder not only split his body but also formed a massive array of thunder fire at the wound, continuously dancing and burning, shattering the flesh of the Four-eyed Python Emperor, advancing upwards.

Where his body fractured, the mountains collapsed and shattered, the ground caved inward into a deep pit, erasing entire surrounding peaks and altering the landscape into a deep valley.

At the bottom of the deep valley, smoke and fire lingered, with a faint purple glow still flickering.

The Four-eyed Python Emperor convulsed in pain and struggle.

The Vajra Sect Leader Garuda looked aside, clearly discerning that touch of purple light — it was a Magical Sword stabbed slantingly at the valley bottom.

It was none other than the supreme treasure of Dragon Tiger Mountain, the Celestial Master’s Sword.

"Two versus one?" Tang Xiaotang sneered coldly: "Now how many against how many?"

As she spoke, she beckoned with her hand, and the Celestial Master’s Sword returned to her grasp.

Then, with a sweep of the sword light, completely unable to resist, the Four-eyed Python Emperor was thoroughly slain, his gigantic serpent head completely split open.

Once a Great Demon of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, now a Buddhist guardian at the Ninth Heavenly Layer, was obliterated in body and spirit on the spot.

The Vajra Sect Leader sought to intercept, but golden light spread before his eyes.

Tang Xiaotang’s Great Vehicle Taoist Scene Pure Yang Realm unfolded, and the golden sea of Pure Yang instantly swept across the land.

The Vajra Sect Leader had approached due to the urgent rescue of the Four-eyed Python Emperor.

Though his strength was exceptional, placing himself in such a situation made it hard to escape Tang Xiaotang’s Pure Yang Realm’s capture.

A flash of golden light, a massive pure gold sphere like the Great Sun descended, encompassed the surrounding void, covering this mountainous region.

Trapped within the Pure Yang Realm, Vajra Sect Leader Garuda was engulfed in the fierce flames of the Bright King’s wrath, repelling the surrounding Pure Yang True Fire and Pure Yang Immortal Thunder.

Watching the Celestial Master’s Sword in Tang Xiaotang’s hand, the Vajra Sect Leader was momentarily perplexed and uncertain.

Just now, it seemed the path was of a Daoist Artifact Refining Sect Flying Sword.

Such power, even among the Great Vehicle High Immortal of the Ninth Heavenly Layer’s Daoist Artifact Refining Sect, not everyone could achieve.

The intertwining thunder fire, that intense and domineering presence, certainly wasn’t the way of the Inner Mount Shu Sect lineage from the Netherworld.

So, was it the exceedingly mysterious and elusive Chen Donglou from the Great Tang’s Mount Shu Sect?

But why would the Celestial Master Mansion lend the Celestial Master’s Sword to Chen Donglou?

Moreover, even if it were the Great Vehicle High Immortal of the Daoist Artifact Refining Sect at the Ninth Heavenly Layer, controlling a sword across thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles shouldn’t manifest like this.

Otherwise, they would have been invincible in the world long ago.

Despite such power, under the induction of aura, the Four-eyed Python Emperor, already at the Ninth Heavenly Layer’s Buddhist Dharma Body Realm, targeted by a Daoist Flying Sword, would quickly sense it, not caught so off guard.

Even the Vajra Sect Leader Garuda, perfected at the Ninth Heavenly Layer, upon sensing the approach of the sword light, attempting to intercept or rescue, was equally too late.

Such a flying sword... the Vajra Sect Leader’s heart was faintly wrapped in a glimmer of spirit light.

But unfortunately, he lacked time to ponder further.

In the golden sea opposite, Tang Xiaotang wielded the sword, the sword’s edge pointing askew: "Untamed monk, neither of us needs to be your damned Vajra Sect Leader, from today onward, your Vajra Sect will have no leader!"

The middle-aged monk sighed softly, his spirit platform within his heart completely calmed, returning to clarity.

With things as they were, he spoke no more, putting away the Dharma Bell, dismissing any other thoughts for now.

This Vajra Sect Leader summoned, and the Five-Cobalt Vajra Scepter fell into his hand, calmly confronting Tang Xiaotang with the Celestial Master’s Sword in hand.

Outside the Pure Yang Realm, Elder Dong Da, due to being afar, was fortunate to evade harm, not captured by Tang Xiaotang’s Great Vehicle Taoist Scene.

He regained his senses, uneasily scanned the area, unaware of which powerful entity had suddenly intervened.

After waiting for a moment, the adversary still did not appear.

Puzzled and uncertain, Elder Dong Da wished to assist the Vajra Sect Leader within the Pure Yang Realm, but for the moment lacked the opportunity.

This senior Vajra monk from the Sumi Vajra Division was helpless, caught between advance and retreat, having to first attempt contact with fellow sect members.

In the distant region, where Lei Jun resided, the mountain range crumbled and collapsed due to the prior "sword control" impact, rendered unspeakably desolate.

Mid-air, the twelve Dual Polarity Heavenly Primordial Talismans and their corresponding Thunder Law Heavenly Scripture Talismans, Xuánxiāo Five Thunder Talisman, Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript, at this moment transformed into strands of flowing light, dissipating with the wind.

Even Lei Jun himself, whose double pupils contained the Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript, at this moment dimmed down.

His Mana throughout his body drastically diminished to the point of near exhaustion.

Beyond that, because of the empathy with the natural world, mobilizing the surrounding Spiritual Energy, Lei Jun’s previous strike temporarily drained the Yin Yang Spiritual Energy, electric essence, and Primordial Magnet Force from the environment.

The prior sword strike, whether distance or power, was the strongest move he had made in his life.

Strictly speaking, from the perspective of Mana conversion, the cost-effectiveness was somewhat low, as much Spiritual Power and Mana were consumed mid-flight of the Celestial Master’s Sword.

But from the perspective of anticipated goals and eventual outcomes, such expenditures were worthwhile.

Last time in the East Sea, the flying sword slashed the Heavenly Principle cultivator from a thousand miles away, was Lei Jun’s Eighth Heavenly Layer slashing against a Seventh Heavenly Layer opponent.

This time, it was the Ninth Heavenly Layer Dharma Body Realm of the Four-eyed Python Emperor shattered by one sword shot.

Not wasting on Tang Xiaotang’s prior efforts to persuade by holding back, letting the giant serpent directly entangle the Pure Yang Boat.
