Everything erupted so suddenly that no one had time to react.
When they saw the enormous Dharma Form blazing with divine might, and the Buddha Master's Personal Disciple pinned beneath the stone placed by its fingertip, everyone paled in horror.
This was the Buddha Master's Personal Disciple, ranked first on the Heaven Dragon Rankings!
He had risen to fame young, entered the Grandmaster Realm at nineteen, and dominated the Heaven Dragon Rankings for three full years!
Throughout that time, no young prodigy could shake his title as the finest in the world!
Yet now, just months before he turned twenty-two and aged out of the rankings, someone had pinned him to the platform with a single finger. He lay there like a dead dog, unable to move!
"Please show mercy!"
In that deathly silence, not even a bird's cry sounded. Only the Dragon River's yellow, sandy waves seemed unaffected, still surging and sweeping against the Martial Dao Platform.
Heaven's Mystery Mountain Man reacted first. He hurriedly intervened, bearing part of the stone's force. The moment he touched it, he felt an unimaginably terrifying power within that unremarkable pebble. Its blazing divine flames were like a fierce winter sun, seemingly capable of burning everything away!
Horrified, he hurriedly said to Li Hao:
"Grandmasters exchange insights, not lives. Please stop short of killing him!"
As someone in the Three Immortalities Realm, he could hardly stand by and watch this Personal Disciple of the Buddha Master be ground into pulp beneath the youth's finger before everyone's eyes.
Otherwise, the Buddha Master seated within the world of the Brahma Pure Land would surely fly into a rage-and his wrath was something the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion could never withstand!
With Heaven's Mystery Mountain Man intervening, the four others accompanying Qin Wuque also recovered their senses.
