Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva sat solemnly in the void, her form as majestic as an ancient Buddha cast from gold. The scripture she chanted was no longer an ordinary Sanskrit chant, but the supreme secret teaching of Buddhism—the Lamp-Lighting Ancient Buddha's Enlightenment Incantation. With every syllable she uttered, the Buddha light around her grew more radiant, while her aura weakened further. She was burning her Origin Buddha Essence, using herself as lamp oil to ignite that distant spark!
"Homage to the Ancient Lamp-Lighting Buddha... pierce the darkness of ignorance in this world..."

The force of deathly silence seemed alive as it frantically surged toward the Buddha light, trying to extinguish it. Yet the Buddha light Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva had summoned by burning her origin was supremely refined and pure, containing boundless cleansing power. It tenaciously resisted the corrosion and slowly seeped into the star.
Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang maintained their domains with all their strength. They felt the deathly force outside battering them like waves, as well as a cold, furious gaze from some distant source in the unseen depths. Clearly, their actions had alerted the caster.

Li Wuyang pushed the Chaos Nirvana power to its limit. His domain became like a millstone, endlessly grinding away and transforming the incoming deathly aura, easing the pressure on Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva.
Time seemed to stretch endlessly. Every breath felt
