Luo Ba vs. the Golden Body Bodhisattva

Luo Ba stood in front of Zhuge Xiang, his aura vast and boundless. A huge demonic shadow emerged behind Luo Ba, radiating rolling Demonic Flame, its power seemingly rivaling that of the Golden Body Bodhisattva.

The Demon Luo Sword in his hand was pointed directly at the Golden Body Bodhisattva; he truly deserved to be one of the top experts in the Great Qin Empire...

Although the Asura Sect is the weakest of the Nine Great Sects, no one dares to deny that the Asura Sect Master is a top expert in the Great Qin Empire, definitely ranking among the top three. Seeing that Zhuge Xiang might perish at the hands of this Golden Body Bodhisattva, Luo Ba naturally would not sit idly by and stepped forward.

"Is this the strength of a top expert?" Zhuge Xiang murmured to himself as he watched his Master shield him from the Golden Body Bodhisattva's attack.

With the Yin Yang Demonic Rings in hand, the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique, the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound, and the Demon Luo Scripture at his disposal, Zhuge Xiang, in alliance with Lu Yuling, could even slay a Six-Star Corpse King. He had initially believed he possessed the strength to dominate the world, but the Golden Body Bodhisattva's single move shattered his ambitions...

Indeed, my strength is quite formidable. In my current state, I could even kill Six-Star Corpse King. However, the world is vast, and there are countless powerful figures. How can ordinary Cultivator compare to elite experts? For example, I couldn't even withstand a single attack from this Golden Body Bodhisattva. His strength is beyond my reach.

Not enough. Although I am strong enough to travel the world, it is still not enough to make me invincible. There are still many powerful people whose strength is definitely above mine.

This move by the Golden Body Bodhisattva calmed Zhuge Xiang considerably. His confidence, inflated by the slaying of countless powerful figures, also became much more rational...

"Luo Ba? I've heard of you. I've heard you're the strongest Sect Master in the history of the Asura Sect, and I've long wanted to test your strength..." Seeing that his attack had been blocked by Luo Ba, the Golden Body Bodhisattva, seated on the Purple-Gold Lotus Throne, looked at Luo Ba and spoke. Although his expression remained calm, a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

Although Luo Ba is rarely seen in action, he is one of the top three strongest experts in the Great Qin Empire and the strongest Sect Master in the history of the Asura Sect. Since he has earned these titles, his reputation is well-deserved. Besides, the fact that Luo Ba was able to block my attack with a single sword strike is enough to prove his strength.

Although he knew that Luo Ba was a formidable opponent, he knew that to slaughter the Great Qin Emperor today, he had to defeat everyone. Therefore, the Golden Body Bodhisattva stared at Luo Ba, emanating a powerful aura, and his bronze skin even radiated a hazy Buddhist light...

"Although I don't know why you possess such pure Buddhist Power, whether you are Zombie or Bodhisattva, you are just my opponent..." With the Demon Luo Sword in hand, at the same time, thirteen Lingbao that had been floating beside the demonic figure possessed Luo Ba's body, instantly arming him. Luo Ba had actually cultivated the Demon Luo Scripture Thirteenth Layer to the highest level.

"Slash!" Luo Ba, holding his sword with both hands, raised it high and slashed at the Golden Body Bodhisattva in mid-air. The fierce Sword Qi truly had the power to cut through the Void. The black Sword Qi was indistinguishable from its own color or from the fact that the Void had been cleaved open.

"Buddha's Palm Realm!" The Golden Body Bodhisattva stretched out his palm, and within it, a hazy light shone faintly. Within this light, one could see mountains and rivers, and countless devout believers prostrating themselves in worship within the temple. Above the temple, the words "Temple of the Golden Body Bodhisattva" were written in large characters. At a glance, there were probably tens of thousands of believers.

Sword Qi can cleave space, but the Buddha's Palm Realm of the Golden Body Bodhisattva is a Minor Thousand Worlds. Being able to cleave space does not mean being able to sever a Minor Thousand Worlds. Therefore, Luo Ba's sword was blocked by the Buddha's Palm Realm of the Golden Body Bodhisattva.

"As expected of Sect Master Luo, his reputation is well-deserved..." The Golden Body Bodhisattva spoke as he put away the Buddha's Palm Realm and looked at the shattered Buddhist kingdom, where countless believers screamed in terror.

Although he spoke words of praise, his tone was filled with intense anger, clearly indicating that the damage to the Buddhist kingdom had greatly angered the Golden Body Bodhisattva.

"Sect Master Luo, how about trying my 'Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere All' technique?" The Golden Body Bodhisattva spoke with anger in his voice. As he spoke, the Buddha's light behind his head suddenly became extremely bright and dazzling. Moreover, this Buddha's light expanded rapidly like an inflated ball, and everything that came into contact with this blazing Buddha's light was completely reduced to ashes.

The Buddha's light, imbued with rage, hurtled towards Luo Ba. Its powerful Buddhist Power gave one the feeling of being unable to match it. Bodhisattva —this was the realm of Gods and Buddhas of all Heavens. This Golden Body Bodhisattva, since it dared to give itself such a title, must be close, even if it hadn't reached that level. This was power that transcended the mortal realm.

"We cannot defeat it!" As Robert looked at the oncoming Buddha light, Luo Ba Ring, one of the thirteen Lingbao, suddenly emitted a rich light from his palm.

Suddenly, the Ring flew out and transformed into a gigantic maw. Its pitch-black mouth opened wide, as if it were about to swallow the entire Heaven and Earth. The intense Buddhist light was swallowed up directly.

The conditions for cultivating the Demon Luo Scripture are extremely mysterious, and the effects vary from person to person. Zhuge Xiang's Demon Luo Scripture allows him to attach the thirteen Lingbao to his equipment, greatly increasing its power. Luo Ba's Demon Luo Scripture, on the other hand, allows him to directly use the thirteen Lingbao, each with its own ineffable and wondrous uses.

Luo Ba's Demon Luo Sword possesses the Special Ability to cleave through the Void, while the Moro Ring in his hand can transform into a giant maw to devour any attack.

"As expected of the legendary Demon Luo Scripture, as expected of the man in the Great Qin Empire who is closest to gods and Buddhas..." Looking at his Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere shining brightly, he was actually swallowed in one gulp. The Golden Body Bodhisattva, even though he was angry, could not hide a trace of admiration in his tone.

"It seems I have no choice but to take this seriously." Taking a deep breath, the Golden Body Bodhisattva's golden Bone Wings trembled slightly, and he floated up from the Lotus Throne. With a wave of his hand, a small emerald tree appeared in his palm. It was translucent and exquisitely beautiful, with each drooping Tree Branch being very pretty.

"Jade Bodhi Tree," the Golden Body Bodhisattva said, gently stroking the emerald-colored sapling in his palm.

As he spoke, he gently waved the Jade Bodhi Tree in his hand at Luo Ba, and countless beams of Buddhist energy transformed into rays of light, like branches, wrapping around Luo Ba. Even the Demon Luo Sword could not sever these branches formed from Buddhist energy...

Thousands of branches formed from Buddhist energy densely surrounded Luo Ba, enveloping all his space for maneuver and sweeping towards him. When you attack these branches formed from Buddhist energy, they are like gas, but if they entangle you, they are no longer gas, but a solid entity, and it is difficult to break free no matter what.

"Void Walking"—seeing that his attacks were unable to destroy the branches formed from Buddhist energy, Luo Ba's Demon Luo Boots flashed with light, and then his figure vanished into the Void.

Judging from appearances, the person is still in this Heaven and Earth, but in reality, they have already entered the Void, as if separated by a layer of waves.

Void Walking, Luo Ba's figure was like a dream, passing through the branches formed from Buddhist energy, giving him the air of passing through a Wanhua without a single petal clinging to him.

"To be able to escape into the Void is indeed remarkable. However, behold my Jade Bodhi Tree!" Seeing Luo Ba moving freely in the Void, rendering his attacks ineffective, the Golden Body Bodhisattva tossed the Jade Bodhi Tree in his hand. The massive tree, growing rapidly in the wind, took root in the Void. At the same time, the tree pressed down on Luo Ba. Though it appeared to be just a tree, its weight likely possessed the force of billions of times...

Seeing that his Master and the Golden Body Bodhisattva were evenly matched and neither could gain the upper hand, Zhuge Xiang knew that he couldn't intervene in a battle of this level. Therefore, he didn't waste any time and joined forces with Lu Yuling to hunt down the Corpse King again.

The Golden Body Bodhisattva was no match for him, but these Corpse Kings were all his prey.

The gates of the Hungry Ghost Path Realm opened, and endless Zombie surged out. For every Zombie that died, two or even three would immediately take its place. However, for Cultivator Zombie, the death of one meant certain death. Therefore, as long as the gates of the Hungry Ghost Path Realm remained open, the longer this battle lasted, the more disadvantageous it would be.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuge, go and close the gate of the Hungry Ghost Path!" In the midst of the chaotic battle, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect swept a dazzling and sharp Sword Light across, completely annihilating the Zombie around Zhuge Xiang, and shouted to Zhuge Xiang.

The gate to the Hungry Ghost Path Realm was heavier than ten thousand jin (a unit of weight), and among those present, it seemed that only Zhuge Xiang possessed the strength to close it.

"Ding! Quest 'Close the Gate' triggered. Quest requirements: Successfully close the gate to the Hungry Ghost Path. Quest success reward: Level +3, Advanced Skill Treasure Chest *1. Accept/Reject."

As the Heavenly Sword Sect Master finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Zhuge Xiang's mind. Upon hearing the task, Zhuge Xiang accepted it without hesitation, but he did not immediately set off to close the gate of the Hungry Ghost Path.

Such a rare opportunity to slay countless Hairy Zombie and Corpse King to improve his cultivation—even if Zhuge Xiang wanted to close the gates of the Hungry Ghost Path, he had to kill his fill first, right?

Boom!

On the other side, the Jade Bodhi Tree pressed down, landing heavily on Luo Ba. Even though Luo Ba had escaped into the Void, he was still severely suppressed by the Jade Bodhi Tree, his body bent over and unable to straighten up.

"Savage King's Strength!" However, although the jade Jade Bodhi Tree was heavy, the wrist guards emitted a strong light. Luo Ba grasped the Jade Bodhi Tree with both hands and slowly lifted it up. The special effect of the Demon Luo Scripture's wrist guards was the ability to lift anything in the world. (To be continued...)
