Buddha-Demon Unity

"Then, as you wish!"

BOOM!!

Li Hao's eyes were like dark Xingchen, and his imposing aura suddenly surged to its peak.

After the Tenth Layer Dao Domain, another Fifth Layer Dao Domain followed in quick succession to suppress and kill!

The Dao Domain he currently possesses were unleashed in an instant, all superimposed together in a moment, instantly covering and crushing the two forces that were previously locked in a standoff!

The Buddha Master's Dao Domain was suddenly torn apart. Under the crushing force of the Dao Domain, the two Bodhisattva, who were protected by the Dao Domain, suddenly exploded, their Divine Soul annihilated along with them, without even having time to scream.

The superposition of Fifteen-Layer Dao Domain represents the current limit of Dao Domain that Li Hao has mastered.

Jiang Lichen's body was also covered by the Dao Domain, but he was not affected by the rules. He was just Entering the Dao Domain and could not move, not even his eyeballs.

He was horrified. Although he knew that Li Hao was deliberately avoiding him, the power of this Dao Domain was beyond his imagination and was something that his current sword could not shake.

Whoosh!

The instant Li Hao's body covered the Buddha Master's Dao Domain, he appeared before him as if by teleportation. After the Buddha Master's Dao Domain was torn apart, the Kasaya on his body, under the suppression of the Fifteen-Layer Dao Domain, actually emitted a hazy Buddha Light Dao Power, enveloping the Buddha Master's body within it and preventing it from being harmed.

Seeing this, Li Hao's eyes grew even Anger. Taking advantage of the Buddha Master's slightly dazed expression, he suddenly raised his hand, grabbed the Buddha's Kasaya, and burst forth with a dazzling crimson-gold light, lifting the Buddha's massive body up and then slamming it hard onto the Purple-Gold Lotus Platform where the Buddha sat!

With a loud bang, the entire Purple-Gold Lotus Platform exploded.

This Lotus Pedestal was originally a top-tier Divine Weapon forged nine times, capable of blocking attacks even within the Dao Domain. However, under the Fifteen-Layer Dao Domain, it was penetrated by the rules to the point of near collapse, and at this moment, it shattered into pieces.

Bang bang bang!

Li Hao grabbed the Buddha Master's Kasaya and swung it repeatedly, smashing the entire floor of the Spirit Realm Buddha Hall and creating a deep crater. The entire Spirit Mountain trembled and shook.

This majestic Divine Mountain seemed to be being struck hard by a god with a hammer, the shockwaves traveling down from the Mountain Summit, causing the entire mountain to tremble, and the buildings and steps on it to loosen, crack, and collapse into dust.

The Buddhist Sect masters on the distant peaks were all shocked by this earth-shattering tremor and looked towards the Spirit Mountain the Buddha Master sat.

Bang!

Li Hao raised his fist and slammed it hard into the Buddha Master's head, which was stuck in the ground. The ground tore apart, and the Buddhist hall was completely destroyed and collapsed.

However, amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the Buddha Master's body remained Unharmed. The precious Kasaya on his body radiated Buddha Light Dao Power, enveloping his body with flowing golden light, a great power of the Great Dao protecting him.

Li Hao's eyes suddenly turned icy cold. He flipped his hand out, and a sharp divine Divine Sword appeared—the very same Ten Extremes Sword that he had plundered from Qingzhou City.

The moment Li Hao took out the Ten Extremes Sword, the Buddha Master seemed to come to his senses. His eyes immediately became solemn and calm. He clasped his hands together, and a vast pressure erupted from his body, with layers of Dao Domain bursting out from his body.

In the blink of an eye, he climbed to the thirteenth level!

At the same time, his hair and face turned crimson gold, as if Buddha Light, and his eyes also became dazzling, just like Li Hao, Divine Power Extreme Realm!

"My Buddha's Compassionate Hand!"

He chanted softly, and suddenly struck out with his palm. Although his thirteenth Dao Domain was not as powerful as Li Hao's, it still restored his ability to move within Li Hao's Dao Domain. At this moment, a Buddha Palm illuminated the Heaven and Earth, like a magnificent Divine Mountain, ready to suppress Li Hao.

The inherent pressure emanating from that Buddha Palm, combined with the thirteen layers of Dao Domain, actually pushed away Li Hao's entire Dao Domain and pressed down with a single palm!

The power of this palm strike was in no way inferior to Jiang Lichen's sword.

"Go to hell!"

Li Hao roared in Anger, and facing the dazzling Buddha's hand, he swung his sword fiercely.

Sword's Zenith: Spring and Autumn!

Like endless Spring Rain drifting by, or like autumn winds sweeping away Falling Leaves, the Aura of new life and death intertwine in spring and autumn, representing both life and death, and yin and yang.

With a loud bang, a terrifying tremor resounded, Spirit Mountain shook, and the Buddha Master's body once again sank into the depths of Spirit Mountain beneath the Buddha Hall, the surrounding area cracking and collapsing.

Li Hao's body was forced back more than ten meters by the Buddha Palm. Before he could make another move, he saw the Buddha Master rush out and leap into the air in another place. The brilliant golden palm was cleaved open, but it was now rapidly healing.

"Fifteen-Layer Dao Domain. I didn't expect you to have so much power left over when you slew the Desolate God's avatar in Qing Prefecture."

The Buddha Master stood there, his Kasaya billowing, and gazed intently at Li Hao for a moment before speaking softly:

"It seems that only I can save you from this fate. Your sins are grave. You killed a bodhisattva of the Buddhist Sect Merit Bodhisattva and slaughtered innocent nobles. Do you know that those nobles were all descendants of famous generals?"

Li Hao didn't speak, but his aura was rising rapidly, and strands of silver-white hair were slowly appearing in his golden hair.

Immortal Transformation!

Although Li Hao had anticipated that this Buddha Master had hidden strength—after all, the Buddha had already revealed his power in Qingzhou City, and yet the Buddha still dared to lure him here and provoke him, he must have been fully prepared—he hadn't expected the Buddha to be so well hidden.

At this moment, he was in no mood to speak; all that remained was an intense, concentrated killing intent.

Seeing that Li Hao's aura was still rising, the Buddha Master's eyes became more solemn, and he said nothing more. At this moment, apart from the Sword Maniac Ninth Prince, no one else could get close, so there was no need for any more words.

"I have cultivated for over two thousand years. Do you think you're the only Heavenly Prodigy? How can you possibly bridge that two-thousand-year gap?"

The Buddha clasped his hands together, his eyes turned cold, and his aura surged. Behind him, a semi-transparent outline of the celestial veins appeared—this was the ultimate realm of the Zhou Tian!

He actually opened up Great Meridian in his body and condensed the Heaven and Earth Meridian!

Even among the Ancient Sacred Clan, this is considered top-tier Heavenly Prodigy. However, he was also Heavenly Prodigy in his youth, and with two thousand years of cultivation, he has achieved extremely high attainments in all realms of Martial Dao!

"Primordial Spirit!"

As the Buddhist chants were softly recited, the Buddha Master Divine Soul drifted out, radiating endless, intense light, like a Blazing Sun, absorbing boundless Sun Essence energy, vast and magnificent.

Another Extreme Realm!

After revealing his Primordial Spirit, the Buddha Master clasped his hands together. At the same time, the Primordial Spirit behind him suddenly roared out and attacked directly, trying to sever Primordial Spirit Li Hao's Divine Soul.

The Primordial Spirit and the Divine Soul undergo a qualitative leap, with an overwhelming difference. In addition to survival, their attack power is also on a higher level.

The instant the Buddha Master Primordial Spirit flew over, a Primordial Spirit also burst forth from above Li Hao's head. However, Li Hao's Primordial Spirit had only recently been condensed and had not absorbed enough Sun Essence, so it was not as radiant as the Buddha Master's.

Bang!

The primordial spirit suddenly clenched its fist and smashed out, but the Buddha's primordial spirit suppressed it with a palm strike. The spiritual fire of the sun on the palm was unleashed, and if it were an ordinary soul, it would be burned to ashes by this spiritual fire.

However, Li Hao's primordial spirit was not afraid of the sun's spiritual fire. After the impact of the fist and palm, it retreated back behind Li Hao, and then immediately absorbed the sun's spiritual fire that had been tainted on his arm, increasing his own power.

"Um?"

The Buddha Master's eyes shifted slightly, revealing a hint of surprise. He clearly hadn't expected that Li Hao, besides having condensed the Divine Power Extreme Realm and the Heaven and Earth Meridian, would also possess Primordial Spirit!

This boy is only sixteen years old, yet he has already traversed a path that took him two thousand years to complete?!

The qualitative change in the Primordial Spirit failed, and the Buddha Master's Primordial Spirit stopped attacking and retreated behind him. At the same time, he suddenly discovered that the rising power within Li Hao's body seemed endless and showed no signs of stopping.

He seemed to realize something, and his expression changed drastically.

At this moment, Li Hao had already plundered all the Heaven and Earth Power within a few kilometers.

Immortal Transformation, 50%!

Deep within Li Hao's golden eyes, an exquisite silver radiance shone.

He raised his head, and his aura surged into his Dao Domain. The original Fifteen-Layer Dao Domain's power surged, and under the influx of the vast Heaven and Earth Power, it squeezed the Buddha Master's Dao Domain, forcing it to retreat step by step.

"You deserve to die!!"

Li Hao suddenly stepped out, and the Heaven and Earth trembled. The entire Spirit Mountain beneath his feet seemed to collapse, with a huge gap appearing in its body.

A fierce pressure swept across the Heaven and Earth. Li Hao arrived in front of the Buddha Master almost instantly, and with a punch that gathered boundless power, he smashed down. Bang! The Buddha Light Dao Power on the Kasaya splashed out in seven-colored mist, and then the Buddha Master's body was sent flying like a meteorite cannonball, crashing into a distant mountain peak.

Li Hao's body roared as he caught up, directly charging into the mountainside of that peak. His ferocious fists rained down relentlessly, bombarding the Buddha Master's body and causing the Buddha Light Dao Power emanating from his Kasaya to flicker and the Seven-Colored Iridescence luster to rapidly shrink and thin.

Bang bang bang!

The mountain peaks collapsed from the middle of the mountain amidst the tremors, and the entire mountain fell down.

As the seven-colored halo on the Buddha Master's Kasaya faded, Anger appeared in his eyes. Suddenly, he struck out and once again unleashed the My Buddha's Compassionate Palm.

But Li Hao grabbed his hand and twisted it sharply.

With several cracking sounds, the hand was severed, and the bones shattered.

Li Hao grabbed his wrist and slammed his body against the ground again, creating deep craters.

However, the precious Kasaya on the Buddha Master's body, like a tortoise shell, protected his body perfectly, leaving him unharmed. Only the Buddha Light on the Kasaya had become thinner and was no longer as dazzling as before.

Li Hao's Heaven and Earth Meridian widened in fury, and as if taking a deep breath, he rapidly seized the power from all directions.

Immortal Transformation, 70%!

BOOM!!

The punch came crashing down like a mountain descending to crush its enemies.

The Buddha Master's body was smashed and sank hundreds of meters into the ground. The violent tremor caused the Buddha Light's aura on his Kasaya to thin out considerably.

"Didn't you want to make me a demon?"

Li Hao rushed into the ground, grabbed the Buddha Master's Kasaya, lifted his body into the air, and stared at the Buddha Master's gloomy expression, whispering:

"If I become a demon, the first thing I will Extinguish Buddhism!"

The Ten Extremes Sword into his palm. Li Hao gripped the Buddha Master in one hand, his eyes filled with icy killing intent, and swung the sword out with his other hand.

The Ultimate Dao Sword Light, combined with Li Hao's power, slashed fiercely at the treasured Kasaya. The Seven-Colored Iridescence reappeared, but it also created a gray undercurrent.

I underestimated you. Everyone underestimated you.

As the Sword Light clashed intensely with the Buddha Light Dao Power from the Kasaya, the Buddha Master's expression remained largely unchanged; he simply stared at Li Hao.

"To have driven me to this point, to have my grand ambition of saving the world shattered, I will suppress you beneath me for eternity, ensuring you are never reincarnated!!"

As he said this, a rare Killing Aura glint appeared in his eyes.

The calm Buddha Light in his eyes dissipated, and at the same time, an extreme and ferocious demonic aura suddenly appeared from the Kasaya behind him, surging out.

Behind him, within the Kasaya, the Heaven and Earth Space opened, and a black Demon Aura emerged from within.

The Aura was intense, deep, sharp, and ferocious. As soon as it appeared, it seemed as if the Heaven and Earth was filled with the wails and screams of wronged souls.

It was a figure surrounded by demonic energy, with disheveled hair, cold eyes, and intense violence, a stark contrast to the Buddha Master's previous expression.

"Heh, in the end you'll still have to rely on my strength, won't you? I told you you couldn't do it."

"The only way to deliver the world from suffering is by sacrificing Path of Sacrifice. People are so foolish; you dare to try to deliver them? You are even more foolish!"

"It's a pity you shouldn't have provoked this kid. He made us achieve sainthood ahead of schedule, before we could accumulate enough Incense. What a shame!"

The disheveled figure spoke to the Buddha Master with a mocking tone and a sinister laugh.

However, his body gradually merged with the Devil Master's, their bodies becoming one!

As Li Hao watched the scene unfold— the Sword Light gliding against the robe, enveloped in Kasaya Buddha Light —his expression grew even colder.

Based on Jiang Lichen's previous words, it was initially thought that Mara and Buddhist Sect were allies, or that this Buddha Master was in disguise. Unexpectedly, it turned out that he was actually an incarnation of this Buddha Master!

Without a doubt, such overwhelming demonic energy, coupled with the Great Peace Dao Realm Taiping Dao Realm, must be the Mara that Jiang Lichen spoke of.

When breaking through from the Three Immortalities Realm to the Four Establishments Realm, some people cultivate the Cultivation Method creating clones to refine their Dao Heart. The Buddha Master in front of us has chosen this path.

Both his True Form and his clone had refined their Dao Heart; one was a Buddha's heart, and the other a demon's heart, and they were now merging together.

Is this your biggest hidden secret?

Li Hao stared at the continuously merging Buddha Master, his eyes blazing with killing intent, and suddenly swung his sword down again!

Bang!

At this moment, the Buddha Master inside the Kasaya suddenly opened his eyes. The body of Mara had not yet merged with his, but a cold killing intent had already been revealed in his eyes.

Suddenly raising his hand, he extended it from the Buddha Light Dao Power emanating from the Kasaya, and directly grasped Li Hao's Ten Extremes Sword!

"I intended to skip the Dao Inquiry Realm and directly Sage Entry from the Great Peace Dao Realm, but you ruined my plans! You deserve to die!"

His eyes were dark and cold, surrounded by demonic energy. The golden light within his Kasaya was no longer pure. The body of the Mara gradually overlapped with his, and in an instant, a vast and mighty aura erupted.

With a loud bang, a violent aura shook the area, sending Li Hao flying backward.

A palm print, a fusion of Buddha Light and demonic energy, struck out, radiating the power of the Dao Inquiry Realm, and slammed Li Hao's body onto Spirit Mountain.

Spirit Mountain trembled, and a gigantic hand appeared at the Mountain Summit, continuously pressing down and sinking tens of meters deep.

A violent Sword Intent suddenly tore through, cleaving the palm that was a fusion of Buddha and demon. Looking up...

The Buddha Master had silently arrived above Spirit Mountain.

The Mara behind him had completely disappeared and merged with him. Pure golden light reappeared from his body. He was still like an ancient Buddha, radiating boundless pure yang Buddha Light. However, his eyes were calm and emotionless as he looked down at Li Hao on the ground.

"Die!"

He chanted with one hand, as if softly reciting a Buddhist mantra.

But as soon as these words were spoken, boundless Dao Power and rules suddenly condensed between Heaven and Earth.

The Dao Power swept outwards, and as he finished Words Become Law, endless and terrifying murderous intent swept towards Li Hao's body from all directions.

This force, like Heavenly Mandate itself, is irresistible and unshakeable.

With a loud bang!

With a single word, Li Hao's body exploded.

The Fifteen-Layer Dao Domain offered no resistance whatsoever before this single word of Great Dao.

It suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist!

At this moment, the Buddha Master is not only at the Dao Inquiry Realm, but also at the Dao Law Realm within the stage of the Dao Inquiry Realm!

The Great Dao becomes law, Words Become Law; a single word can annihilate!

Seeing Li Hao's body explode, a hint of regret appeared in the Buddha Master's eyes. If he could have been given more time to accumulate more Incense Power, he would have become a saint in one step when the Buddha and the demon merged!

He was also an unparalleled Heavenly Prodigy. What he pursued was beyond the imagination of ordinary Warrior. He disdained to Dao Hearing and instead focused on slow cultivation.

However, all the plans were exposed in advance, and the path to sainthood that followed would be somewhat difficult.

As his thoughts raced, a gust of wind rose from the ground, growing stronger and stronger until it became as violent as a hurricane.

"Um?"

The Buddha Master looked down and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The endless hurricane swirled and coalesced, and strands of energy gathered along with it.

The energy was condensed and compressed to almost a solid state, like strands of Silver Light!

Behind these Silver Light are the faintly visible, semi-transparent Heaven and Earth Meridian, extending in all directions like a spider web, frantically drawing upon the Power of Heaven and Earth.

At the heart of that hurricane was a blood mist that had just been suppressed and exploded; even the bones were shattered, it was just pure blood mist.

But at this moment, the blood mist was swirling and condensing, with blood pooling in the middle. When the blood pooled to the size of a fist, it suddenly grew rapidly. In the blink of an eye, Li Hao's body appeared from the spot, his whole body a deep crimson gold, like Venerable God.

When Jiang Lichen, who was hiding behind the dilapidated Buddhist hall on Spirit Mountain, saw this scene, his eyes widened in shock.

Li Hao, Blood-Drop Rebirth, had his hair gradually change from golden to silver-white.

The bursting flesh and blood, ironically, allowed him to absorb the power of Immortal Transformation to near its limit.

"The Dao Inquiry Realm..."

Li Hao slowly raised his head, his silver-white eyes filled with icy killing intent.

Have you ever heard the saying, "Dao Hearing in the morning, one can die content in the evening"?
