Amidst the raging wind, Ye Li stood casually, his long ink-black robe billowing in the wind!
At his waist, the cyan sword pendant that Taiyuan had transformed into was emitting a dazzling light; the previous sword light was its creation.
This divine sword contains a vast amount of ancient Sword Qi. Once activated, it can be used against enemies. Even after countless years, this Sword Qi can still easily threaten Martial Dao domain lords who have not yet reached the end of time!
However, even without this divine sword, Ye Li could still easily suppress the Vajra Buddhist Disciple before him.
The gap between the two sides is visibly huge.
The fact that the young man, at the Early Eighth Layer of the Dao Evolution Realm, could gain an overwhelming advantage against the peak of the Dao Evolution Realm was entirely due to his profound and despair-inducing Martial Dao foundation.
At this moment, in the Buddhist temple, which is mostly destroyed.
The dazzling pure white sword light slowly dissipated, revealing a disheveled figure within.
The Vajra Buddhist Disciple knelt on one knee at the bottom of the huge circular pit. His once eerily handsome face was now covered in blood and dust. His bright red robe was tattered, revealing the dark golden Buddha body beneath, which was now bare of bones and pulsating with flesh.
He coughed up mouthfuls of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, and the blankness in his eyes was replaced by an unprecedented horror and disbelief.
Twice!
In just two direct confrontations, he was severely injured despite being able to withstand the Venerable One's Vajra Buddha Body! The direct combat ability possessed by this Deputy General of Dragon Pool is simply unreasonable and domineering!
"Cough... cough cough... Good! Ye Li! You're doing very well!!"
The Vajra Buddhist Disciple struggled to his feet, his eyes devoid of any composure, filled only with the madness and ruthlessness of someone utterly enraged. "With Taiyuan in hand, it was indeed my oversight to deal with you bare-handed!"
As he spoke, he stared intently at the dark figure approaching step by step. The other party's aura was as deep and unfathomable as a bottomless abyss, and the devastating attack just now seemed to be merely a warm-up.
In this situation, he could not afford to be careless in the slightest!
"Annihilation!!"
The Vajra Buddhist Disciple bit his tongue, clapped his hands together, and chanted obscure Sanskrit. A power belonging to the Venerable One suddenly erupted from his broken body!
Buzz!!
Driven by the secret technique, a beam of light shot into the sky from his spine, and within the golden light, a Vajra Demon Subduing Pestle made entirely of an unknown material suddenly appeared!
Wrapped in patterns of ten thousand Buddhas, its liquid-like Buddha Light shone brightly under the sky. Just by hovering there, the surrounding space groaned under its unbearable weight. With the blessing of the shattered Buddhist temple, the boundless power of the Venerable Buddha swept across the heavens and earth!
Even though they were far apart, Baiyue and the others felt a sense of suffocation, and a fear welled up from the bottom of their hearts, making them want to escape from this place!
That was none other than the stolen treasure of the Vajra Hall of the Great Brahma Palace —the [Nirvana Demon Subduing Pestle]!
This is a genuine Heavenly Palace Buddhist Treasure, considered Superior Grade even among Venerable-level beings! It contains a trace of serene Buddhist intent, which, when activated, specifically targets powerful physical bodies and protective Divine Ability!!
"Protect me!"
Baiyue spoke anxiously, snatching the bracelet from her wrist, intending to forcefully intervene in this undeserved disaster and rescue Ye Li!
This was a protective Treasured Artifacts given to her by the Third Princess before she left. It was strong enough to withstand an attack from a Venerable-level being, and should buy her some time.
She didn't have any particular thoughts.
The main problem is that if Ye Li dies here, she won't be able to explain herself to the enthusiastic Princess Ling'an when she returns. Besides, compared to a trusted confidant who can rival the Vajra Buddhist Disciple, the loss of a single Treasured Artifacts is negligible!
However, her skill level was still too low, and she couldn't keep up with the ever-changing battlefield in the distance.
The Vajra Demon Subduing Pestle hanging above the Buddhist temple has been activated!
With a furious roar from the Vajra Buddhist Disciple, he transformed into a golden bolt of lightning that tore through the Firmament and crashed down upon the shattered Buddhist temple below!
The Sea of Clouds collapsed! The sound was deafening!!
This is an attack that could easily annihilate a peak Dao Evolution Realm cultivator!
No wonder this Vajra Buddhist Disciple has roamed freely across the four continents without being subdued. The supreme authority of the Great Brahma Palace certainly played a significant role, but this is enough to rival the Venerable One's methods and enough to make even the governors of the four continents feel troubled!
However, under the bloodshot, angry gaze of the Vajra Buddhist Disciple...
Ye Li's expression remained calm, and he didn't even pause in his steps. But the moment the vajra transformed into Buddha Light and thunder, he raised the hand that made Kamaloka's heart tremble once more!
His slender five fingers suddenly spread open, and he once again grasped the immensely powerful Buddhist Treasure in mid-air!
Buzz!!
It was that bizarre, domineering, and devastating power of stripping away again!
[Heaven-Intercepting Spirit-Plundering Technique]!
This time, however, Kamaloka saw it clearly!
That invisible force completely ignored the terrifying restrictions on the Dragon-Patterned Pestle of Annihilation, which were blessed by the Venerable One, and ignored the violent Buddhist power that he had unleashed by burning his essence blood!
"What a joke!!!" Kamaloka roared in utter terror, his eyes wide with fury!
He clearly felt that the incredibly close connection between himself and the Buddhist Treasure was being forcibly severed by an irresistible and strange force!
Even the Buddhist Treasure imprint deeply ingrained in his Divine Soul was instantly erased!
The golden lightning bolt, which seemed poised to shatter the earth, suddenly froze less than three feet from Ye Li's palm, its raging energy unable to advance even an inch further!
The next moment!
Brush!
The golden light vanished, its size rapidly shrank, transforming into a stream of light, and the entire Demon Subduing Pestle obediently fell into Ye Li's palm!
Ye Li held the precious pestle, its Buddhist aura understated, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "..."
This Heaven-Intercepting Spirit-Plundering Technique is practically a special attack method for Treasured Artifacts!
As long as the level of the holder is not too far apart from his, Ye Li can skip the [Subduing the Treasured Artifacts] step and directly complete the final recognition process.
It's like someone has diligently pursued a virtuous lady for half their life, only for her to directly declare him her master! It's blatant robbery!
While it's true that forced relationships are never happy, when it comes to Treasured Artifacts, being able to use them freely is enough.
"Pfft!" Vajra Buddhist Disciple could no longer suppress it, and a mouthful of dark golden Buddha blood containing his life essence gushed out!
The Buddhist Treasure, which was connected to his mind and spirit, was forcibly taken away. The backlash from this incident aggravated his injuries, and his aura instantly weakened by more than half!
"You... what kind of sorcery did you use?!" He could hardly believe his eyes. The Vajra Hall Buddhist Treasure, which had been heavily protected by various restrictions, had been so easily snatched away by the other party!
Utterly absurd! How could such bizarre methods exist in this world!
Even if he had simply taken the Demon Subduing Pestle, he wouldn't have found it this hard to accept!!
Do you have any other Buddhist Treasure?
Ye Li's voice remained calm, completely ignoring his emotional breakdown, and instead tightened his grip on the precious pestle in his hand.
A torrent of Magic Power poured into it!
The blinding Buddha Light's light and lightning erupted once more, illuminating most of the Firmament!
"!!!"
As the light entered his eyes, the Vajra Buddhist Disciple's pupils suddenly contracted to their maximum size.
The intense threat of death traveled straight to his Divine Soul through his pores. If he were to take this attack head-on, given his physical strength, he would hardly be able to save his life!
"Wait--!!" Extreme fear fueled his final madness. He completely lost his mind and desperately struck his chest again!
Buzz!
Another soft yet incredibly strong white light emanated from his heart!
A Glazed Lotus Platform, carved from pure White Jade and adorned with thirty-six petals, appeared.
The lotus platform cast a soft, clear light, instantly creating an impenetrable protective shield that firmly protected him within!
A sacred and solemn aura spread out, and as the light enveloped the Vajra Buddhist Disciple, it even began to slowly heal the terrible wounds on his body.
[Pure Glazed Lotus Platform]!
This is also a Venerable-level defensive Buddhist Treasure, specifically designed to counter evil spirits and various offensive Divine Ability, and is sufficient to withstand several full-force attacks from Martial Path Venerable!
However, there was no joy on Vajra Buddhist Disciple's face, only a twisted expression of near despair!
He stared intently at Ye Li below—
The other party raised that damned hand again, still with its five fingers spread open, making a grasping motion in mid-air!
In an instant, a strange and domineering sense of plundering swept over him again!!
