In the sky, two figures separated, none other than Donghua and Maitreya.
The moment the two appeared, before they could even exchange words with Zhang Yu, the world-destroying torrent of Chaos Principle, carrying the power to annihilate the world, crashed down!
The terrifying pressure caused even the newly formed figure to tremble slightly.
"Snort!"
Emperor Donghua snorted coldly, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, Zhang Yu had successfully advanced to the Golden Immortal. Donghua and Maitreya naturally also gained Golden Immortal Cultivation and shared Zhang Yu's power to control this world.
Faced with this terrifying torrent capable of destroying stars, Emperor Donghua advanced instead of retreating.
He stepped forward, blocking Zhang Yu's left side, then pointed his fingers like a sword and gently slashed at the cascading torrent!
"Sword Extinction."
The voice was calm, yet it carried a resolute determination to sever all ties.
There was no earth-shattering sword light, only a thin, pale golden line, condensed to its extreme and seemingly capable of splitting heaven and earth in two, bursting forth from his fingertips and flowing upstream!
This thin line, though seemingly faint, contains the essence of Emperor Donghua's lifelong swordsmanship, as well as the even more vast power of the Heavenly Dao borrowed from Zhang Yu's Origin!
Wherever the thin line passed, the raging thunder, gales, earth energy, and Principle within the chaotic torrent were silently separated and annihilated, as if cut by the sharpest scalpel!
Although it only cut through a small part of the front of the torrent, it bought a precious opportunity for another person.
"Amitabha..."
Almost at the same time that Donghua made his move, Maitreya Buddha also made his move.
His smile faded, his expression became solemn, he clasped his hands together, and softly chanted a Buddhist prayer.
Immediately afterwards, his body shone with a great light, and he uttered eight words of mantra:
"Great Sun Tathagata, the Circumference Returns to the Beginning!"
"Boom--!!!"
As the mantra was uttered, a golden Buddha phantom, ten thousand feet tall, suddenly appeared in the void behind him!
This illusory image of Buddha bears a resemblance to Maitreya, yet it seems to embody the majesty of all Buddhas, and is Great Sun Tathagata!
Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Manifestation appeared, it stretched out two golden Buddha hands that seemed to be able to support the sky.
With his palms moving up and down, he slowly brought them together, actually managing to forcefully "merge" the torrent of Chaos Principle that had been split open by Donghua's sword into his palms!
Boundless Buddha light emanated from the palm of the Dharma image, carrying a vast and powerful force of salvation, pacification, and return to the origin, constantly washing away and eroding the destructive energy and Principle in the torrent!
"Boom--!!!"
The chaotic torrent clashed fiercely with the Buddha's palm and Donghua's Sword Intent!
An indescribable, terrifying explosion erupted in the starry sky!
The dazzling light instantly engulfed everything, and the violent shockwave, like a world-destroying tide, swept wildly in all directions.
The terrifying aftershocks of the attack flattened the already shattered earth below, leveled distant mountains, and tore the clouds in the sky to shreds!
Even the space itself was covered in countless spiderweb-like black cracks!
This terrifying collision was far more powerful than any previous encounter.
Even Xu Xinwu and Jian Jiu, who were barely keeping their Xu Xinwu up below, and the remaining creatures further away, felt a sense of impending doom!
The light and Smoke and Dust slowly dissipated.
In the starry sky, three figures stood side by side, towering between heaven and earth.
"One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones...?"
Zilu's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints as he stared intently at the unharmed Emperor Donghua and Maitreya Buddha, whose auras were even more refined and vast than before.
He finally recognized the legendary Supreme Divine Ability from the incredibly mysterious connection between them and Zhang Yu.
His voice was filled with disbelief and horror, all of his previous arrogance and confidence gone, replaced by a chilling sense of having his understanding shattered, and a hint of barely perceptible... fear.
Maitreya Buddha still maintained his signature smile, but deep in his eyes was a cold, icy light.
He patted his chubby belly and said with a smile:
"Amitabha.
That Confucianism brat, just now, relying on his slightly higher Cultivation, bullied me Cultivation hadn't recovered. He beat me so badly!
We need to carefully calculate this.
His casual words sent a jolt through Zilu's eyes, and a warning bell rang in his heart.
Emperor Donghua, on the other hand, was much more direct.
He didn't even glance at Zilu, but turned his head and extended his hand to Zhang Yu, who was standing in the middle:
"Lend me the Exterminating Immortal Sword."
Zhang Yu handed over the Exterminating Immortal Sword almost without hesitation, as if by instinct.
"You can just find a cool place to sit and watch the show, the rest is up to me and that stinky monk."
Emperor Donghua spoke calmly, and at the same time accepted the Exterminating Immortal Sword.
"OK."
Zhang Yu nodded sincerely, like a primary school student; who would rather fight to the death than watch a show?
At this moment, Zhang Yu felt much more at ease, thinking to himself that this round was in the bag.
I was completely dominated by Zilu just now, and I felt incredibly frustrated.
Isn't it simply because the opponent, relying on their past as a Daluo Golden Immortal, possesses combat experience and Principle far surpassing that of this "newly promoted" Golden Immortal?
But what about now?
Standing over there are Emperor Donghua and Maitreya Buddha!
Which of these two wasn't a super-powerful being who roamed the Primordial World shortly after the creation of heaven and earth?
The battles they experienced, the Divine Ability they witnessed, and the combat awareness and understanding of the Principle they honed were nothing compared to Zilu, a former Daluo Golden Immortal —it was like a doctoral supervisor looking at an elementary school student!
Zilu's so-called "foundation" and "experience" were utterly insignificant compared to these two.
"Little guy, you had a lot of fun bullying my inexperienced body just now, didn't you?"
Maitreya Buddha's smile remained unchanged, but the coldness in his eyes grew stronger.
"Now, let your Buddha play with you."
Before the words were even finished, Maitreya Buddha had already made his move!
Despite his seemingly bulky physique, his movements were faster than anyone could imagine.
He took a single step, as if Shrinking Land to Inch, and instantly appeared in front of Zilu.
He no longer used the extremely powerful Mahavairocana Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Manifestation, but simply struck out with a single palm!
"Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, Suppress!"
A gigantic Golden Light, sky-covering Buddha's hand appeared out of thin air.
The palm lines are clear like mountain ranges and ravines. In the palm, countless phantom images of the Buddhist Kingdom can be vaguely seen floating and sinking, with billions of monks Buddhist Chant, exuding the great Buddhist power to suppress and save all things!
This palm strike, seemingly simple, contains Supreme Buddhist principles.
The terrifying Buddhist light sealed off all escape Zilu, leaving no room to maneuver, and pressed down on him with an overwhelming sense of "nowhere to escape, neither to heaven nor to earth!"
Compared to Zilu's previous "Heaven and Earth Net," this palm strike might not be as powerful.
However, the exquisite application of the Principle contained therein, the perfect control of power, and the oppression of the enemy's mind and will are simply incomparable!
"Stop wasting your breath on him, just kill him."
The voice of Emperor Donghua rang out coldly, as if stating a simple fact.
Holding the Exterminating Immortal Sword, he didn't even use any earth-shattering sword techniques; he simply thrust the sword out at Zilu with a plain, unadorned motion.
However, at the very moment that seemingly ordinary sword thrust was unleashed, the world suddenly went dark!
It wasn't that the light was swallowed up, but rather that all the light, all the colors, all the sense of presence seemed to be attracted and obscured by that sword strike!
In Zilu's perception.
This is hardly a single sword strike.
It was clearly a terrifying Sword Intent, condensed to its extreme, born out of thin air from all directions in the void.
Then, centered on him, they launched a frenzied attack!
Every Sword Intent carries the sharpness to sever Principle and destroy all things.
Each Sword Intent locked onto a point of his energy, a connection to a Principle, or a possible escape route!
This seemingly simple sword strike transformed into Heaven and Earth Net, a net even more deadly and unsolvable than his Heaven and Earth Net "net of destruction"!
"Not good!"
Just moments ago, Zilu was arrogant and looked Zilu on Zhang Yu like an ant. Now, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and the hairs on his body stood on end!
His pupils constricted to their limit, and for the first time, an undisguised look of fear appeared on his face!
He figured it out!
Maitreya's palm strike, seemingly a suppression, actually contained endless variations, sealing off all his room for maneuver and forcing him to either withstand it head-on or break through directly. This was an open strategy!
But Emperor Donghua's seemingly ordinary sword strike was terrifying to the extreme!
That was no longer the kind of attack Zhang Yu had used before, which was all strength and crude technique. Instead, it was a deadly sword strike that perfectly combined Supreme Sword Dao understanding of the supreme sword path, his subtle control over the Principle, and the power of Golden Immortal!
Not a single ounce of energy was wasted; all the murderous intent was concentrated at a single point, which then transformed into an overwhelming net of deadly force!
This is no longer a matter of skill and experience; it's a difference in dimensionality!
It was a dimensional attack from two super-powerful beings who once stood at the top of the Primordial World pyramid, a dimensional reduction attack on him, a "junior" Golden Immortal!
At the same level, he is absolutely, absolutely, absolutely no match for these two!
