The Tathagata's Body (continued)

The high-frequency vibrations of the No-Emptiness Sound Flow protected the internal organs, but could only neutralize 10% of the Power of Sacred and Evil. The relentless onslaught of the Blazing Sun True Qi also only offset 20% of the Power of Sacred and Evil. The remaining 70% was borne entirely by Si Ming, who, despite his strong physique, felt intense pain.

Seeing this, Zhou Anping made a decisive move, pulling the still unwilling Wan Ziqiu and turning to flee. They were already unable to get involved in the previous battle, and now they had become cannon fodder. Staying here would only become a weakness for Si Ming.

"It's too late to leave now."

The Beast King Anye extended his other hand, joined two fingers together, and the Evil-Slaying Sword Qi and the Vicious Spirit Blade Aura intertwined, merging into one under the impetus of the Power of Sacred and Evil, and shot towards the two of them.

He was confident that no matter what kind of resistance Zhou Anping and Wan Ziqiu put in, they would not be able to stop this finger strike.

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened, and a thousand Sword Qi energies, sharp as gold and capable of shattering stone, pierced through the air and roared, engulfing the surrounding area like a surging tsunami. The clanging of metal against metal resounded throughout the heavens and earth. Looking up, one could see countless streams of swords descending from the sky, their sharp and ferocious sword power filling the heavens and earth, extinguishing life and suffocating all who beheld them.

It was Zheng Jingyuan who controlled the Myriad Tribulations Mystic Light Array to launch an attack on the Beast King Anye. In an instant, countless sharp Sword Qi, tempered to the point of severing time, descended from the array that enveloped the Righteous Qi Palace, transforming into a meteor shower falling from the sky, leaving sword marks in the air.

One group of Sword Qi bypassed Wan Ziqiu and Zhou Anping, clashing with the holy Evil Qi energy shot out by the Beast King Anye. Although it was also routed, it relied on its numerical advantage to fight one against one, eventually exhausting its vital Primal Qi.

"The Myriad Tribulations Mystic Light Array, huh? If it were before, this array might have posed some threat, but now it's nothing but a joke."

A faint smile is the most direct form of contempt.

The Beast King remained calm and confident, extending his hands. His left hand emitted ever-changing, flickering, and unpredictable Vicious Spirit blade light, while his right hand emitted powerful, sharp, and majestic Evil-Slaying Sword Qi. The two were originally mutually antagonistic, but under the suppression of the Power of Sacred and Evil, they were forced to merge.

Thus, the two opposing Sword Qi and blade beams clashed and interacted, causing the holy and evil energies to clash, leveraging each other to generate and infinitely amplify each other, gradually unleashing a dazzling light that even thunder and the sun would pale in comparison.

"Unity of the Sacred and Evil, illuminating the darkness!"

The Suanni Bone Saber silently appeared, then suddenly slashed upwards, drawing upon its accumulated power. The vast blade light resembled a meteor streaking across the sky, its momentum unparalleled. It struck like thunder and lightning, then retreated with lightning speed. There were no superfluous changes or embellishments; it was simply a straightforward slash, yet it possessed the power to annihilate all laws, crushing and shattering all the Sword Qi descending from the sky.

The Myriad Tribulations Mystic Light Array is broken!

Zheng Jingyuan, who was controlling the formation, suffered a backlash. His Qi and Blood flowed backward, and blood beads sprayed out from every pore of his body. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a blood-soaked figure and fell backward amidst the cries of his disciples.

To forcefully break through the mountain-protecting formation by one's own strength is like a single soldier bombing a military base. After all, the mountain-protecting formation is not meant to withstand a single expert, but a group of experts.

"What an addictive power!"

The Beast King looked at his own palms and sighed with heartfelt emotion. At this moment, he felt that he was invincible, and that even the Gods and Devils of the heavens were no match for him.

"Hey, could you please stop being so narcissistic? We're still perfectly fine here!" Si Ming wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued to mock, "I know it feels good to be a villain in power, like a 30-year-old widower going to a brothel, but aren't you getting a little too cocky?"

The Beast King glanced at it, shook his head, and said, "You are no longer qualified to be my opponent."

Si Ming spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground. The attack had seriously injured him, but fortunately, with the protection of the Bodhi Golden Body, his internal injuries were rapidly healing.

"I was originally planning to exchange a few more blows with you, to assess your current strength and let you be smug for a while longer. But now I've changed my mind. That smug face of yours is truly disgusting. A furious expression suits you much better."

"Oh, it seems you still have a trump card up your sleeve."

"Yes, I let you transform before, now do you have the guts to make me transform too?"

Although the fact is that Si Ming couldn't stop it in time, that doesn't stop him from bragging now.

The Beast King nodded and extended his hand, saying, "Please."

But after uttering the sound, his body moved instantly, Suanni Bone Saber slashed out, attempting to seize the moment when his opponent's mind was relaxed and attack.

The Beast King's cunning and life-loving nature would not change just because he gained greater power. The reason he didn't take Wan Ziqiu seriously was because Wan Ziqiu had lost an arm and was too weak to pose any threat to him. Even if he stood still, Wan Ziqiu couldn't kill him.

But Si Ming was different. Even though he was being defeated by the Power of Sacred and Evil, it did not mean that he was powerless to resist. In particular, after being hit by the Power of Sacred and Evil, he only suffered minor injuries, which made the Beast King Anye dare not be careless in the slightest.

"Tch, I knew you were a petty person, utterly lacking in heroic spirit."

Si Ming remained calm and composed, pointing a finger towards his brow. The Evil-Slaying Sword Intent erupted, freezing the surrounding space and time, erasing all life, and plunging the world into deathly silence. This was—

"All Evils Fall Silent, All Wickedness Perishes!"

The Beast King stabilized his stance, but quickly resumed his movements, for he too knew this move.

However, he soon discovered that in the state of frozen time and space, he could not activate the Power of Sacred and Evil, or rather, he could not use the Power of Sacred and Evil to activate the Evil-Slaying Sword Art, and could only display the "original" power.

Both sides unleashed their ultimate evil-slaying techniques. Before they even got close, their Sword Intent clashed fiercely, each carrying a chilling, annihilating killing intent. In an instant, everything in the sky and on earth transformed into sharp swords, sweeping away everything in space.

The murderous aura intensified, eventually reaching a peak before vanishing without a trace, taking the consciousness of both individuals with it into a dark, void space.

Here, whether it is tangible flowers, grass, mountains, or rocks, intangible primordial Primal Qi of heaven and earth, or intangible thoughts and ideas, everything is completely eradicated. Everything seems to return to the boundless void before the creation of heaven and earth, where all things return to nothingness and have no meaning.

In the absolute void and darkness, two sword lights suddenly appeared, piercing the heavens and the earth, devoid of any killing intent, and even carrying a touch of naturalness.

The moment the swords clashed, the dark, mirror-like space shattered, time and space resumed their flow, and the two people's consciousnesses returned to their respective bodies. At the same time, they staggered, each feeling excruciating pain in their souls, their minds unable to think, as if their souls had been struck by One Sword.

Si Ming had refined his Divine Firmament Soul Body and recovered even faster than the Beast King Anye, but instead of launching a sneak attack, he formed hand Law Seals and shouted, "Sword, come!"

A golden light Blink in the sky and flew into Si Ming's palm; it was the perfectly reforged Wheel-Turning King Sword.

The moment he grasped the sword, Si Ming's aura suddenly changed again. A golden swastika symbol unfolded beneath his feet, and his eyes suddenly turned solemn. Thousands of lanterns fell from the sky, and a Vajra with wrathful eyes appeared behind him. His staff fell to subdue demons and tigers.

"The Thousand Buddhas of the Bhadrakalpa Formation, activate!"

The moment the sound faded, the sword pierced the earth, and a dazzling light spread across the sky. A golden scroll suddenly appeared behind Si Ming, towering into the heavens. When unfolded, it revealed the images of a thousand Buddhas, their radiant light making them appear even more solemn and holy.

"A Buddhist formation?" The Beast King, enduring the excruciating pain in his soul, looked up and sneered. "This is the formation used to kill the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King, isn't it? You want to repeat the same trick, but unfortunately, I am not the Spirit King, and this place is not the Glazed Temple. Without the unwavering faith of a million monks, the formation's power is far less than before. Moreover, I have transcended my Anomalies body, Power of Sacred and Evil are unrestrained. The pressure this formation brings me is like a gentle breeze."

"I know, so this formation isn't meant to suppress you, but rather to enhance my own Cultivation Body."

As he spoke, Si Ming's acupoints opened wide, and the thousand Buddha images on the golden book behind him transformed into specks of golden light that fell into his acupoints, causing his aura to surge wildly, and his original Bodhi Golden Body began to transform.

Sensing something was wrong, the Beast King Anye quickly channeled its Power of Sacred and Evil into the Suanni Bone Saber, unleashing a world-destroying strike that pierced through the air.

Si Ming raised his fist to meet the attack, his vast Buddhist energy sweeping away the gloom and directly confronting the Power of Sacred and Evil. However, to everyone's surprise, he was completely defeated, and his attack did not perform any better than the Blazing Sun True Qi.
