Stronger by Killing

A hand broke through the clouds,

If the palm behind the Buddha Seal is a Palm Buddha Kingdom, then the hand breaking through the clouds is an entire world.

That hand obscured the night, blocked the moon, its terrifying power overwhelming everything, transforming into a heavy force that covered the entire mountain forest, a terrifying aura reaching the sky, directly grasping at the Buddha.

As this hand descended, carrying the divine power of heaven and earth, its spectacle and momentum pressed all the Land Immortals, including the Ji Family Ancestor, who were attacking to the ground. The low-tier Land Immortals were directly forced to kneel, pressed into the soil, unable to move by the terrifying pressure.

"Break!"

Gu Zhan roared, his voice shaking mountains and rivers, echoing across the peaks, the earth trembled. With a grip of his five fingers, the giant hand in the sky followed suit, directly seizing the Buddha.

"Buzz"

A tremendous buzzing resounded between heaven and earth, as the Buddha’s light was frantically suppressed, continuously contracting, as if being engulfed by darkness.

Nun Ru Shi and Saint Monk Hui Chan, both casting spells, simultaneously spat a mouthful of blood, blood dripping from their mouths. They exchanged a glance, seeing panic in each other’s eyes.

"Amitabha, if I don’t enter hell, who will!"

Saint Monk Hui Chan chanted a Buddha name, lightly tapping his foot, stepping forward, flying towards the Buddha. At that moment, a burst of Buddha light erupted from him, bright and sacred, transforming into countless translucent crystals, cascading to the barren ground like hail but sounding more like torrential rain striking eaves.

Those ice crystals instantly transformed into divine fire, a solemn and distant chant of Sanskrit echoed through the heavens once more, followed by a terrifyingly powerful light of Buddha bursting from the Buddha statue seized by Gu Zhan.

Countless blazing Buddha lights mixed with crystalline golden sand grains burst out from the Buddha statue, surging towards the barren ground, igniting the air, continually resisting the power of Gu Zhan’s grip. Golden-white projections appeared on the barren ground, coagulating into one Buddha statue after another.

"Merciful Buddha, may all beings be saved!"

Saint Monk Hui Chan’s expression turned increasingly painful, his body twisting as if struggling within a net, then gradually became still, leaving only detachment, then flew towards the sky, rapidly approaching the Buddha statue.

As he approached, the tiny translucent Buddha lights, yet oppressive divine brilliance and power, united, continually descended onto the barren ground, like a dense meteor shower, dragging fiery tails, splashing up countless clouds of smoke and raising countless roaring flames of intense heat.

He slowly extended a hand,

one Buddha statue after another merged towards him, then he became incomparably radiant, directly becoming a Buddha himself, merging into the Buddha Seal.

At this moment, the struggling power of the Buddha statue grew stronger,

the power of light swelled, continually engulfing darkness,

the giant hand gripping the Buddha ignited in raging flames.

Gu Zhan stood on the ground, watching Hui Chan, who attempted to burn all his spiritual power to suppress him, said deeply: "Old monk, what boldness!"

Saint Monk Hui Chan overlooked the world, gazed at Gu Zhan, brought his palms together, and slowly said: "Amitabha, Marquis Gu is invincible in the world, but it’s not a blessing for the human world. The Buddha once fed the eagle with his own flesh and sacrificed himself to demons. Today, I am willing to follow my Buddha, using my body to suppress demons!"

"Not a blessing for the human world?"

Gu Zhan chuckled lightly: "Is it not a blessing for your Buddhist Sect? Worried that I would shake the rules your sect has controlled for thousands of years, so much so that you wouldn’t even care for your life. However, I have no interest in playing with you anymore!"

In that instant,

Gu Zhan took a step, soaring into the sky,

his speed was swift, directly chasing after Saint Monk Hui Chan,

however, upon approaching Saint Monk Hui Chan, Gu Zhan realized that Hui Chan had become too immense, at least a hundred feet tall, like a Great Sun Buddha, emanating light that was like a sun descending to earth, scorching and overwhelmingly powerful.

"To hell with your Buddha!"

Gu Zhan swung his fist, surrounded by various phantoms, nine Celestial Dragons and nine celestial phenomena, terrifying visions, yet, no matter the vision, in front of this grand Buddha, seemed so dark, as if an overwhelming dark fog rose, forming a tornado.

"Amitabha!"

Saint Monk Hui Chan transformed into a giant Buddha, his folded palms separating, a palm pressed towards Gu Zhan, the heavens buzzing like a meteor crashing down, shaking the earth to split open, rocks flew, soil surged like tides rushing forward, the entire Qixia Mountain Range in upheaval,

apart from Nun Ru Shi who was casting her spell,

everyone was terrified in this moment,

especially those Land Immortals kneeling on the ground under the terrifying pressure, their hearts filled with boundless horror, as Lü Family Ancestors and Ji Clan members gritted their teeth, and the Three Ancestors of the Ji Family, staying far away, full of terror,

Until this moment, they realized their own folly,

All three were Fourth Realm Grotto Heaven Cultivators,

always the true rulers of the Xia Kingdom,

though they respected the Buddhist Sect, revered it, and even Xia Kingdom’s establishment owed to the Buddhist Sect’s choice, they all had their own thoughts in their hearts, after all, in this world, no one likes having an ancestral figure over their head, much less when they were the absolute rulers of a country.
