Even if he was not confident, he could not lose in terms of momentum!
Mu Jizi's expression turned grave. Then his eyes suddenly widened, and ripples spread through the chaos like waves on water!
Mu Jizi's innate divine ability—Space Lock!
In an instant, an indescribable aura radiated from him. In the blink of an eye, that aura had enveloped a radius of a million li!
It was like a world of its own. Within it, the endlessly rampaging currents actually became docile! Of course, that docility was only relative to the endless currents beyond that million-li radius. As for their true power, it still could not be underestimated!
As the currents became docile, Zhun Ti and Jieyin were immediately startled. They had never expected such a transformation to occur in an instant!
With a wave of their hands, they discovered that the surrounding chaotic space had become even more restrictive than before, so restrictive that they could not even bring out seventy or eighty percent of their strength!
"What is going on?" Zhun Ti was somewhat startled. He glanced at his senior brother Jieyin and asked through voice transmission!
"I do not know either! Mu Jizi must have unleashed some great divine ability!" Jieyin's face turned solemn! Before this, although the two of them found Mu Jizi troublesome, they had not taken him to heart. Yet at this moment, they realized matters were far from as simple as they had imagined! It was like a prison formed from an entire world; the power of space seemed densely woven, and even the slightest movement took far more effort than before!
Under such circumstances, facing the ferocious Mu Jizi, the two of them could not help but feel a trace of fear in their hearts!
Of course, the moment that trace of fear arose, they forcefully buried it deep within themselves!
To lose heart before battle was fatal. How could mighty masters like them not understand that?
Shaking their heads slightly, Zhunti and Jieyin looked at Mu Jizi, who stood amid the chaos with that indescribable aura radiating from his entire body, and bitterness rose in their hearts: The Eastern Realm truly had an extraordinary abundance of geniuses!
At this moment, when Mu Jizi unleashed his innate divine ability, the endless currents around him actually seemed inclined to worship him! In an instant, he felt as though he had gained control over those endless currents!
"Th-this... what exactly is happening?" Mu Jizi was astonished. With a wave of his hand, he discovered that the endless currents flowed accordingly!
"My innate divine ability only has the effect of locking space. Compared to an entire world, the gap is as vast as heaven and earth. Yet why do I now feel as though I can control the world?"
Originally, even with his innate divine ability amplifying him, his strength had only remained at its usual level. But now, he found that his power had suddenly surged by nearly twenty percent! With the slightest movement, he could control the endless currents around him! He could even cast aside his own defenses without fearing the assimilating power of the chaotic currents!
At this moment, it was as though some indescribable power had fallen under his control. It seemed like the laws of heaven and earth, yet also like the ultimate truths of the Grand Dao! Mu Jizi was puzzled; even he himself did not know what exactly he had grasped!
However, that could not suppress the excitement in his heart. He did not know what he had grasped, but he at least understood that this mysterious power was immensely strong—strong enough to increase his strength by nearly twenty percent!
Even after unleashing his innate divine ability, dealing with Zhunti and Jieyin had originally been somewhat strenuous. But with the amplification of that mysterious power, why would he still fear them?
"Hahaha!" His laughter spread through the chaotic space, and for a time the endless currents erupted in turmoil! Mu Jizi took a swift step, striding forward like a meteor. With one step, he trod upon supreme truth; his body charged ahead with unstoppable force! His fist, like a star, smashed straight toward the stunned Zhunti and Jieyin!
This blow was like a mountain crushing down from above, shaking heaven and earth. Endless auras transformed within it, and the fist fell like a meteor!
Whoosh!
The fist crashed into the endless currents, stirring up a violent upheaval. As it rubbed against the chaotic currents, it produced an ear-piercing shriek!
Faced with such an attack, Zhun Ti and Jieyin's expressions changed. Their faces immediately became incomparably solemn! They both let out furious shouts and unleashed their supreme techniques!
For a time, magical power surged, currents raged, and an entire stretch of space trembled. Faced with Mu Jizi's move, which spent power without restraint, the two of them had no way to evade it!
The two forces collided. Then came a BOOM that resounded through the chaos as the impact exploded outward. The endless currents paused, and the black-gray chaotic space underwent a transformation!
It was as though Pangu had split heaven and earth apart. Earth, wind, water, and fire gradually emerged, while metal, wood, water, fire, and earth slowly sank, as if heaven and earth were about to evolve!
But in the very next instant, the chaotic currents surged wildly, and space returned to its original state! The endless currents resumed their former rampage, as though nothing had happened at all!
Within the chaotic currents, Mu Jizi stood suspended in the air like a god, his entire body radiating light. Looking again into the distance, Zhun Ti was in a miserable state. His Daoist robe had been torn apart, his hairpin had scattered, and blood poured from his mouth as though it cost nothing! His eyelids fluttered slightly, his gaze unfocused, before he finally collapsed into the arms of his senior brother Jieyin!
At this moment, Jieyin was not as miserable as Zhun Ti. Other than his disheveled Daoist robe and hair, and his slightly pale face, he appeared as though nothing had happened!
The disparity was terrifying. Zhun Ti had been beaten to within an inch of his life, while Jieyin had only suffered a minor injury! This was not because Jieyin's cultivation was vastly higher than Zhun Ti's, but because most of the force behind Mu Jizi's punch had struck Zhun Ti!
Zhun Ti's cultivation and Dao attainment had already been somewhat inferior to his senior brother Jieyin's. Under such circumstances, his injuries were naturally far more severe than Jieyin's!
"Leave!" A calm voice entered Jieyin's ears!
Hearing this, Jieyin's entire body trembled slightly. He looked at Mu Jizi in disbelief, then did not dare say another word. With a flash, he vanished into the chaotic currents while carrying his junior brother!
Watching Jieyin's departing figure, regret flickered in Mu Jizi's eyes! Just moments ago, as he had prepared to deliver the killing blow and snuff out the two Western Realm Saints who would later establish Buddhism in the cradle, a calm yet authoritative voice had entered his ears!
He had listened to that voice for three thousand years. How could it not be familiar? Once the voice reached him, he knew that his plan to eliminate the two men from the Western Realm had utterly failed!!!
Mu Jizi hesitated where he stood for a moment, then gritted his teeth slightly. Turning around, he headed toward the Purple Cloud Palace!
Before long, he arrived before the gates of the Purple Cloud Palace. Stepping through the curtain of light, he saw two young attendants greet him with smiles!
At this moment, Mu Jizi said nothing. He merely nodded slightly, then followed the two attendants into the Purple Cloud Palace!
It seemed that the gates of the Purple Cloud Palace had never closed after the many great masters departed. The three words "Purple Cloud Palace," written in Grand Dao runes, seemed even more dazzling at this moment!
Shaking his head, Mu Jizi took a deep breath before finally stepping into the Purple Cloud Palace!
