A Sword Strike to Destroy the World! The Taiyin Goddess Makes Her Move! (4K)
Do you know what you're saying?
Great Freedom Buddha he had used his methods to severely injure Lu Changsheng, yet Lu Changsheng still refused to back down and even uttered arrogant words, wanting to turn around and perform rituals to help him pass on to the afterlife?
What kind of being is this Great Freedom Buddha? He alone can suppress Seven Great Demon Kings. How can Lu Changsheng possibly deliver him from suffering?
Lu Changsheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, the Taiyin Goddess Talisman between his fingers trembling violently.
The Taiyin Goddess Talisman absorbed a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the mysterious Ancient Cauldron, and could activate the perfect Goddess Puppet inside at any time.
This is Twenty-First-Grade Talisman!
Lu Changsheng not only no longer felt powerless against the Great Freedom Buddha, but was also eager to witness the power of the Goddess Puppet Taiyin Goddess Talisman.
"You think a mere Talisman can contend with this Buddha? Like an ant trying to shake a tree, you overestimate your own strength."
The Great Freedom Buddha was unimpressed when he saw Lu Changsheng take out the Talisman.
Even if Lu Changsheng had Talisman capable of dealing with him, he wouldn't be able to activate it given his Lu Changsheng level.
Zhao Wuyan transmitted his voice to Lu Changsheng: "Junior brother, we are no match for him yet. We should admit defeat for now. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. We can take our revenge when we reach the Immortal Emperor Realm and burn down his temple."
Zhao Wuyan did not believe he could defeat the Great Freedom Buddha.
The Great Freedom Buddha displayed overwhelming strength; even before going all out, he had already crushed Lu Changsheng and his group.
The Divine Monk Wule was also deeply worried and transmitted his voice to Lu Changsheng: "Young Friend Lu, the Great Freedom Buddha has become fixated on this matter. I think we can only try to find a solution later."
Lu Changsheng did not answer. The Taiyin Goddess Talisman shone brightly, and a terrifying aura emanated from it, causing the earth to shake.
The Great Freedom Buddha suddenly realized that this junior was not easy to deal with, and in order to avoid any unforeseen complications, he should deal with this person as soon as possible.
"Thousand-Buddha Demon-Subduing Hand!"
The Great Freedom Buddha, though not angry, exuded an awe-inspiring presence, conjuring thousands of demon-subduing Buddha hands that blotted out the sky and enveloped Lu Changsheng and his group, casting endless shadows.
Even if they don't kill Lu Changsheng, they must suppress him so he can no longer oppose them, and then take away the reincarnated Gufo.
Shangguan Zhao'er and the others all changed their expressions drastically, for the Cultivation Method of the Great Freedom Buddha's technique was unimaginable.
Just as Lu Changsheng and his group were about to be suppressed, a jade-like hand emerged from the Talisman. With a single finger rotating, the space in front of them instantly distorted, like a giant Spacetime vortex, swallowing up the thousands of demon-slaying hands.
The Great Freedom Buddha was greatly alarmed and quickly withdrew his Divine Ability, otherwise his Buddha True Body would have been swallowed by the vortex. "What kind of Talisman is this?"
The Great Freedom Buddha had never encountered such a terrifying being; with just a single finger, it neutralized his Thousand-Buddha Demon-Subduing Hand.
The disciples of the Great Freedom Buddha, as well as the Arhats and monks he brought, were all shocked and incredulous.
"The Thousand-Buddha Demon-Subduing Hand is Emperor-Grade Buddhist Sect Cultivation Method of our Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. Although the Great Freedom Buddha did not use his full strength just now to suppress the opponent, that delicate hand only moved a single finger to neutralize the Thousand-Buddha Demon-Subduing Hand, which is truly terrifying."
"What exactly is that Talisman he has?"
Many Arhats and monks felt their throats dry; they had never seen a Talisman that could rival the Great Freedom Buddha.
The Taiyin Goddess Talisman shone even brighter, and a stunningly beautiful woman emerged from Talisman. Her Black Hair reached her waist, her skin was as smooth as ice and jade, her beauty was like a winter plum blossom embraced by snow, dewdrops glistening on pearls, and her spirit was like an autumn chrysanthemum covered in frost. Flowers complemented warm jade, and there was not a single flaw to be found.
This flawless woman radiated a divine light; the moment she opened her eyes, everything in the world paled in comparison, she seemed like Divine Maiden who ruled over heaven and earth.
Who are you? Why are you devoid of any life?
The Great Freedom Buddha's face turned ashen; the sudden appearance of the Divine Maiden was beyond his comprehension.
The woman did not answer, but came to Lu Changsheng. The two looked at each other. Her face was stunningly beautiful, capable of captivating a nation, but her eyes were empty and soulless, and it always felt like something was missing.
She extended her delicate hand, gesturing for Lu Changsheng to hand over the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword to her.
This was the first time Lu Changsheng had encountered a puppet that had turned the tables, so he handed over the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword.
The woman took the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword and swung it at the Great Freedom Buddha.
This sword strike appeared ordinary, lacking any particular skill.
However, the moment the sword was drawn, the sound of Great Dao resounded, and the purple Sword Qi erupted like a mountain torrent, destroying the heavens and the earth. Its power was more than a hundred times that of Lu Changsheng's Purple Heaven Immortal Sword!
The Middle-Grade Sacred Artifact, the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword, was trembling violently, as the True Qi it was bearing had almost reached the limit that the sword body could contain.
Lu Changsheng had no doubt that if the Goddess Puppet had used just a fraction more of its True Qi, it might have destroyed the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword.
He only swung the Immortal Sword once, but almost destroyed it; it was terrifying.
The purple Sword Qi swept away everything in its path, annihilating everything in its way and reducing it to nothingness—it was terrifying beyond measure.
A simple sword strike already contains the Supreme Great Dao.
"Hah! The Immovable Wisdom King True Body!"
Seeing the Sword Qi approaching fiercely, the Great Freedom Buddha quickly activated his Buddhist Sect Cultivation Method, and a golden statue of the Immovable Mingwang, ten thousand feet tall, enveloped the Great Freedom Buddha, protecting his True Body. The brilliant Buddha Light illuminated the earth ten thousand feet wide.
"Emperor-Grade defensive Cultivation Method..."
The Divine Monk Wule did not approve of the Great Freedom Buddha's practices, but he did acknowledge the Great Freedom Buddha's formidable spiritual attainment.
The Great Freedom Buddha possessed multiple Emperor-Grade Cultivation Method, reaching an extremely high level of attainment.
However, before the Taiyin Goddess's Sword Qi, the highly defensive Immovable Wisdom King True Body actually made a cracking sound, and Spiderweb -like cracks appeared on the Buddha's body.
"The Immovable Wisdom King True Body is one of the top defensive Cultivation Method in our Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, yet it has been broken!"
"Let's join forces to resist the Sword Qi."
The disciples and Arhats of the Great Freedom Buddha channeled their energy, and golden True Qi surged forth, attempting to help the Great Freedom Buddha stabilize the Immovable Wisdom King True Body.
Although the Great Freedom Buddha is domineering, he is still a member of their Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and cannot be truly erased by outsiders.
The surging Sword Qi energy swept in, and even though the Great Freedom Buddha and thousands of Arhats and monks joined forces to resist, they still could not withstand the World-Destroying Sword Qi. The Immovable Wisdom King True Body was destroyed like dry leaves and shattered completely, turning into countless golden fragments.
The Sword Qi almost transformed into a purple dragon, carrying an aura of extreme cold, freezing the space along its path and chilling it to the bone.
The Sword Qi struck the Great Freedom Buddha Great Freedom Buddha, Buddha true form and causing cracks to appear in his True Body. His Three Souls and Seven Spirits seemed about to be annihilated!
Escape!
Disregarding the dignity of the Buddha, the Great Freedom Buddha, in order to save his life, tore through space, transformed into a golden light, and escaped into the Spatial Turbulence.
If this continues, he will be Body and Spirit Annihilation by the Goddess Puppet!
The thousands of Arhats and monks left behind looked at each other in disbelief. How could the usually dignified and aloof Great Freedom Buddha have been driven to flee in defeat?
The Great Freedom Buddha, in order to save his own life, completely disregarded the Arhats and monks.
If Lu Changsheng were to harbor murderous intent and order the Goddess Puppet to eliminate these people, they would be utterly powerless to resist.
The devastating Sword Qi spread forward for tens of thousands of feet, causing shockingly large cracks to appear in the earth. Houses and mountains along the way were all destroyed by the Sword Qi and evaporated into thin air.
The Taiyin Goddess did not pursue the Great Freedom Buddha. Firstly, Lu Changsheng was not yet able to control this special puppet. Secondly, the Taiyin Goddess had only used two moves, and the True Qi of the Taiyin Goddess Talisman had been exhausted.
After returning the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword, the Taiyin Goddess Puppet returned to the Talisman and fell into an endless slumber.
Without sufficient True Qi to activate the Taiyin Goddess Talisman, the Taiyin Goddess Puppet, lacking a soul, cannot absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, let alone make a move.
Seeing the Great Freedom Buddha being utterly defeated by the Goddess Puppet, Lu Changsheng became even more aware of the value of the Taiyin Goddess Talisman.
The Taiyin Goddess Talisman is a unique Talisman; there is only one, and there is no other way to create a second Taiyin Goddess Talisman.
The materials used to create the Goddess Puppet must have been extremely special, which is why only one such puppet could be made.
If it weren't for the inability to return the second Taiyin Goddess Talisman, Lu Changsheng would have been fantasizing about getting a whole stack of Taiyin Goddess Talisman, which would have given him a group of Divine Maiden as his henchmen.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Lu Changsheng noticed a group of Arhats and monks from Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple looking around. Taking advantage of the lingering power of having scared away the Great Freedom Buddha, Lu Changsheng rebuked them.
This group of Arhats includes many at the Heavenly Immortal Realm and Golden Immortal Realms; if they were to swarm forward, it would be troublesome.
They were unaware of the true nature of the Taiyin Goddess Talisman, making it an ideal opportunity to subdue the enemy without a fight.
The group of Arhats and monks were overjoyed to hear that Lu Changsheng was willing to let them leave unconditionally. They all clasped their hands together and thanked Lu Changsheng, saying, "Thank you for sparing our lives, benefactor."
The monks of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple quickly grabbed their buckets and ran away.
The Great Freedom Buddha has run away, so they run away too; it's not shameful.
"Divine Monk Wule, the Great Buddha Temple is not a tranquil place. Why not stay and reminisce?"
Lu Changsheng tried to persuade the Divine Monk Wule to stay.
He had a feud with Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple and discovered that the Buddha Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was acting strangely, so he didn't want the Divine Monk Wule to continue practicing at Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
Divine Monk Wule shook his head. He secretly communicated with Lu Changsheng for a while before leaving with the others from Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
With the departure of the Great Freedom Buddha and the monks of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, the capital of the Yuncang Kingdom was almost razed to the ground after two battles, leaving it in ruins.
However, there are many Divine Ability beings in the Immortal Realm, Mount Shu only needs to send out a small team of disciples to rebuild a city.
"Junior Brother Lu, you had such a trump card, why didn't you use it sooner? You scared me to death."
Zhao Wuyan almost collapsed to the ground.
If it weren't for the Taiyin Goddess Talisman, even they combined wouldn't be a match for the Great Freedom Buddha.
After everyone from Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple left, Shangguan Zhao'er fell into deep thought and said to Lu Changsheng, "This matter is a bit strange. Have you noticed anything, Junior Brother?"
Lu Changsheng nodded. "The Divine Ape King is the Demon King of Dong'ao Mountain. There's no reason for him to attack a small place like Yuncang Kingdom without cause. Even if the Divine Ape King knows that Chen Yi is the reincarnation of Buddha, there's no reason for him to kill his relatives and friends; killing him himself would suffice. The Divine Ape King has only just appeared, and then the Great Freedom Buddha suddenly arrives, further confirming this possibility."
Shangguan Zhao'er continued Lu Changsheng's words, "If our group hadn't suddenly appeared in the Yuncang Kingdom, and the Great Freedom Buddha had intervened to suppress the Divine Ape King, Chen Yi would definitely have been grateful to the Great Freedom Buddha, converted to the Buddhist Sect, and become his disciple."
Shangguan Zhao'er was also a mentally sharp cultivator, and she and Lu Changsheng guessed the same thing.
Lu Changsheng continued, "The Divine Monk Wule mentioned earlier that after discovering the reincarnated Buddha, he reported it to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. So, it's possible that the Great Freedom Buddha also received the information and happened to arrive here... To verify our thoughts, we need to find someone else, namely the Red-Bearded Daoist who betrayed Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. This person might know some of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple's secrets."
Lu Changsheng led everyone away from the Yuncang Kingdom, and before returning to Taihua Sacred Ground, they went to Mount Shu first.
This matter was, after all, related to the massacre of his newly accepted disciple Chen Yi's, entire family.
At Mount Shu, the Red-Bearded Daoist was cultivating when more than a dozen streaks of light descended. The Red-Bearded Daoist, who was meditating, opened his eyes. "Sect Master?"
Upon meeting the Red-Bearded Daoist, Lu Changsheng cut to the chase. "Red-Bearded Daoist, do you know the relationship between the Great Freedom Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple and the Divine Ape King of Dong'ao Mountain?"
"You've encountered the Great Freedom Buddha?"
When the Red-Bearded Daoist heard Lu Changsheng mention the Great Freedom Buddha, his expression became unnatural.
"That's right, I managed to injure him and let him escape."
"You injured the Great Freedom Buddha?!"
The Red-Bearded Daoist was dumbfounded.
He believed Lu Changsheng was Immortal Emperor, but he never expected that Lu Changsheng could defeat the Great Freedom Buddha.
The Immortal Emperors are divided into Nine Layers, and the difference between each level is extremely huge. Even the Great Freedom Buddha is not weak among the Immortal Emperors. The fact that Lu Changsheng was able to injure the Great Freedom Buddha shows that Lu Changsheng is even stronger.
"What grudge do you have against Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple? You can tell us."
Lu Changsheng did not deny it.
Although Lu Changsheng only managed to injure the Great Freedom Buddha with the help of the Taiyin Goddess Talisman, both the Taiyin Goddess Talisman and the mysterious Ancient Cauldron were treasures of Lu Changsheng. So, rounding up, it could be considered that Lu Changsheng defeated the Great Freedom Buddha.
The Red-Bearded Daoist then slowly said, "I am one of the Disciples of the Great Freedom Buddha."
"What?!"
Everyone was taken aback.
The Red-Bearded Daoist who joined Mount Shu was actually Disciple of the Great Freedom Buddha!
While Lu Changsheng was surprised, he wasn't entirely unexpected.
After all, the Red-Bearded Daoist possesses Indestructible Diamond Body, making him extremely suitable for cultivating Buddhist Sect Cultivation Method. Currently, he is a seventh-level Great Luo Golden Immortal and has the potential to achieve enlightenment and become one of the Buddhas.
It's not surprising that such a Buddhist Sect genius was accepted as a disciple by the Great Freedom Buddha.
The Red-Bearded Daoist continued, "My original Dharma name was 'Wuchen.' After becoming Golden Immortal, I was ranked among the Arhats of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. Later, I traveled around and encountered the Great King Wood Wolf of Yellow Wind Cave, who was causing havoc in the area. I planned to eliminate this demon. He was no match for me and was about to be killed when he mentioned that his backer was my master Great Freedom Buddha. It was then that I realized that the reason the Seven Great Demon Kings were committing evil deeds was because Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was backing them up."
"It wasn't just the Seven Great Demon Kings, but also the Ancestor Black Mountain of Black Cloud Cave and other Demons, who were secretly instructed by Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to do dirty work that they couldn't do openly, so that the blame for the killings wouldn't easily fall on them. These Demon Kings and Demons wreaked havoc everywhere, driving people into Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple's territory, thus giving Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple more Power of Faith. After learning the inside story, I felt deeply disgusted, so I left Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to cultivate Daoist magic, taking the Daoist name 'Red Beard'."
The Red-Bearded Daoist revealed the inside story he knew, which greatly shocked everyone.
The backer of the Seven Great Demon Kings is actually the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple!
Shangguan Zhao'er sighed, "No wonder all the major Holy Lands turn a blind eye to the Seven Great Demon Kings. It turns out that the Seven Great Demon Kings' backer is one of the Holy Lands, and Buddhist Sect Holy Land at that. How ironic."
Lu Changsheng had already guessed a thing or two. He had allowed Lu Qinglian to mock the Great Freedom Buddha just now precisely to make the Great Freedom Buddha break down and reveal his true nature.
Chen Yi's face was pale, his fists clenched, and his body trembled.
Therefore, the Divine Ape King's sudden attack on the Yuncang Kingdom must have been at the behest of the Great Freedom Buddha. It was just that Lu Changsheng and his group appeared midway, disrupting the Great Freedom Buddha's plans.
Everything now makes sense.
"My disciple, Buddhism is also one of the Great Dao. From now on, I will teach you both the Dao and the Dharma. In the future, you will replace those incompetent Buddhas at Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple."
Lu Changsheng decided to properly train this Disciple and reorganize the Buddhist Sect.
