I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 580 - 330: The Warring States of the Buddhas (Part 2)

He always thought he feared nothing; after all, he had dealt with strange and eerie things before, each one shattered by him until its soul vanished.

But when such a large elderly woman appeared before him, Qin Yuesheng realized he inherently feared such a thing for no reason at all.

Seeing the figure closing in on him, Qin Yuesheng reached out, intending to lift the Divine Soldier for defense. However, at that moment, he astonishingly found his arm seemed numb.

Unknowingly, two hunched elderly women had tightly grasped his arm, holding it exceptionally firmly.

Qin Yuesheng was instantly furious, directly unleashing the Golden Bell Shield as he angrily launched the Thousand-Handed Buddha Transformation at the enormous elderly woman.

On the Golden Bell Shield, the Thousand-Handed Buddha Dharma Aspect immediately appeared, thousands of hands and palms striking out like a storm. The gigantic elderly woman could originally resist a few blows, but after receiving several hundred palms, all she could do was let out a miserable howl as her form disintegrated into the heavens and earth.

"Hmm?!" Yuan Tongzi rarely showed a surprised expression.

For he unexpectedly saw from Qin Yuesheng an outsider, one of the four Divine Skills of the Dharma Temple, the Golden Bell Shield, and another brand new Buddhist Divine Skill not even found within the Dharma Temple.

The appearance of these two skills was even more incredible to Yuan Tongzi than Qin Yuesheng overcoming his internal fear in such a short time.

As the Thousand-Handed Buddha Transformation dissipated, Qin Yuesheng’s body shuddered violently, his entire being splitting into three before instantly merging again, then splitting once more—a rather peculiar phenomenon.

Watching the anomaly of his body, Qin Yuesheng was also greatly shocked, as he felt the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Nine Lives Scripture, which he hadn’t cultivated in a long time, had automatically started running.

An extremely strange sensation flowed through Qin Yuesheng, making him feel as if he was traversing the ancient ages within the eternal river of time.

Yuan Tongzi cautiously watched Qin Yuesheng; every Grandmaster was no ordinary being, and Qin Yuesheng posed even greater threats, for the bizarre behavior happening to him genuinely made Yuan Tongzi dare not advance rashly.

After a few more seconds, Qin Yuesheng returned to normal; although he hadn’t visibly changed, he felt clearly that the fears that had arisen in his heart had all become nourishment for the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Nine Lives Scripture.

Realizing this, Qin Yuesheng was overjoyed, intending to force Yuan Tongzi to use more of the methods he had just displayed. Thus, he leaped up instantly and charged at Yuan Tongzi with his sword.

Yuan Tongzi similarly used the Golden Bell Shield to block Qinyuesheng’s attacks, yet Qin Yuesheng deployed multiple Divine Soldiers simultaneously, even the Divine Skill Golden Bell Shield couldn’t withstand them and eventually shattered under Qin Yuesheng’s powerful Ice Fire Divine Axe.

Following that, Qin Yuesheng immediately lunged a spear swiftly towards Yuan Tongzi’s chest.

Yuan Tongzi promptly reached out to block, his palm visibly turning golden at a speed visible to the naked eye, resembling gleaming bronze at the moment it met the Purple Dragon Spirit Wood Spear. His palm only cracked slightly with a few fine opening lines.

These cracks were virtually negligible for Yuan Tongzi.

"Such strong physical conditioning!" Even Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but praise.

After Martial Artists undergo external tempering, bodily conditioning becomes particularly challenging, often yielding minimal improvement after extended cultivation periods. Therefore, after external tempering, the focus of strength enhancement shifts to Inner Strength.

Judging from Yuan Tongzi’s ability to physically resist Divine Soldiers, his physique had undoubtedly been conditioned to a notably exaggerated and terrifying level.

Reaching such a level is as challenging as ascending to immortality, essentially impossible.

At the moment Yuan Tongzi blocked the Purple Dragon Spirit Wood Spear, he raised his other hand and flicked his fingers, rapidly projecting a beam of light, too fast for the naked eye to catch.

Dharma Temple’s premier martial art—Flower Flicking Finger!

"Ha!" Qin Yuesheng shouted, his Nine Yin and Nine Yang Inner Strength surging out, forcibly gathering an extremely thick layer of protective Inner Strength around his body. Yuan Tongzi’s Flower Flicking Finger shattered the Golden Bell Shield, but was blocked by Qin Yuesheng’s protective Inner Strength.

The two entangled in a ceaseless battle, neither able to take the upper hand, Yuan Tongzi’s body tempered to the extreme, Qin Yuesheng despite wielding multiple Divine Soldiers could only crack his skin.

People only know Dharma Temple’s four Divine Skills: Muscle Strengthening Scripture, Bone Marrow Cleansing Scripture, Golden Bell Shield, Child’s Skill.

Among them, Gold Bell Shield is the most renowned, hailed as the foremost protective Divine Skill, yet few know that Child’s Skill is a body-tempering Divine Skill.

To cultivate this skill to the limit is to attain the Vajra Indestructible Body and Vajra Indestructible Form, precisely what Qin Yuesheng witnessed in Yuan Tongzi.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The two sometimes fought in the air, sometimes dropped to the ground for martial combat, causing continuous booming, ground fractures, and collapses, forcing the Vine Armor Army to retreat five miles to avoid being affected by the residual power of these two Grandmasters’ fight. Though Yuan Tongzi had the Vajra Indestructible Body, prolonged delays were not viable.

Qin Yuesheng was knocked back once more by Yuan Tongzi’s palm strike, ready to battle again when he suddenly noticed Yuan Tongzi looking at him with a peculiar expression, seeming to utter several words.

Possessing the Biluo Eye, Qin Yuesheng naturally could read the opponent’s lip movements, instantly realizing, amidst a flash of insight, that Yuan Tongzi quietly said...

"The Buddhist Warring States." Yuan Tongzi uttered.

Buzz!

Above Xuanwu Pass, the entire sky suddenly became dazzlingly colorful.

Beams of light continuously refracted in the air, ultimately appearing very surreal.

Legend has it that all Buddhists reside in a place known as Glazed Heaven, where it is utterly spotless, completely pure and untainted.

Everything within Glazed Heaven emits brilliant, colorful light, causing any observer to feel their spirit becoming tranquil.

The sky now looked much like the legendary Glazed Heaven.

In the Glazed Heaven appeared floating clouds, with Buddhas of various sizes and appearances seated upon them, yet even the smallest was over two meters tall.

"You are also of the Life Star." Qin Yuesheng exclaimed.

Since encountering Yuan Wudi, Qin Yuesheng sees yet another new Life Star Realm—The Buddhist Warring States.

This realm akin to a divine miracle, makes an immediate impact upon everyone present, whether from the Vine Armor Army of Bashu or the Great Tang’s defenders, all kneeling piously, reverently worshiping the Buddhas in the sky.

Yuan Tongzi floated in mid-air, with the Buddhist Warring States above him, appearing at this moment as the most captivating existence between heaven and earth.

The person closest to Buddha.

"This humble monk hasn’t fought with a Life Star individual for many years." Yuan Tongzi spoke while looking down at the earth.

With his Life Star Realm opened, Yuan Tongzi’s voice became undulating and grand, as if echoing in a mountain valley, all ears surrounded by layers of reverberations.

Qin Yuesheng immediately leaped up, simultaneously releasing his own Life Star Realm.

Suddenly the sky was changed again, a massive Immortal Palace crashing toward Yuan Tongzi’s Glazed Heaven, resulting in a collision echoing as loudly as mountains colliding; these two Life Star Realms unexpectedly connected into one.

With a thought, Qin Yuesheng commanded legions of celestial soldiers wielding long spears to fly out from the Immortal Palace toward the Buddhist Warring States, seeking battle with the Buddhas.

Within the Buddhist Warring States, golden lotuses bloomed beneath each seated Buddha, emerging numerous Buddha warriors donned in Glazed Armor, wielding meditation staffs and Vajra pestles, charging in torrent towards Qin Yuesheng’s celestial troops.

The sky brimming with chaos, the battle intensely fierce and astonishing.

From ancient times to now, who has witnessed such an extraordinary battle between celestial forces and Buddhas? It’s truly enlightening.

Qin Yuesheng glanced at Yuan Tongzi, as both stepped into their respective Life Star Realms. Immediately the realms expanded vastly, so much so that the entire sky over Xuanwu Pass was covered entirely.

Rendering the view of the sun in the sky impossible.
