The old monster Pudu Cihang has lived for thousands of years; his experience is incredibly rich.
Without uttering a single unnecessary word, they immediately entered battle mode.
"Lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot!"
"Lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot!"
"Lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot!"
The soft, chanting Buddhist hymns echoed around them, and Fu Tianchou immediately fell into a state of confusion.
"Oh no, this is Life-Claiming Sanskrit Chant!"
Yan Chixia and Zhiqiu Yiye were both knowledgeable people, and they immediately recognized the move "Pudu Cihang".
"Quick, plug your ears!"
The Life-Claiming Sanskrit Chant is a soul-type skill with a wide-area attack. Those controlled by it will constantly recall their past mistakes and then commit suicide out of shame.
No one is perfect, and even spiritual practitioners are not immune to sin.
Once you're injured by this move, you'll be done for in just a few seconds.
However, Xu Long's soul had undergone three transformations and was completely unaffected by such attacks.
That's it?
With a disdainful snort, Xu Long slashed out with his sword.
laugh!
The sword light tore through the air, creating a tiny crack in space, which then quickly closed up again.
The human form of Pudu Cihang is immune to magical attacks, but only ordinary spells.
Before the Power of Oblivion, so-called immunity is a joke.
Even the laws of nature cannot withstand it, let alone mere monsters.
"Not good!"
Although he couldn't sense any presence, the more he couldn't, the more frightened he became.
However, since this human form cannot be preserved, then let's just let it go.
Pudu Cihang roared, and his body rapidly grew larger.
Standing twenty meters tall, he sat atop a nine-tiered lotus throne, radiating golden light.
Although it resembles the Tathagata Buddha, it lacks any trace of holiness and compassion; instead, it is filled with sinister and eerie qualities.
"Everyone loves to worship idols, so why do you want to be an enemy of the world?"
The deep voice echoed around, and combined with the Tathagata Buddha's appearance, it was quite intimidating.
However, Xu Long already knew about his tricks and remained completely unmoved.
"This..."
The situation changed too quickly; less than two breaths after the house exploded Pudu Cihang transformed into the Tathagata Buddha.
By this point, even a fool would understand what was going on.
The Dharma Master who protected the nation, whom he revered, was actually not human, and even dared to impersonate the Tathagata.
"They dare to impersonate even Buddha; stealing the nation's destiny would be a piece of cake for them..."
Thousand-Commander Zuo felt like his entire worldview had been shattered.
If the Protector of the Nation is a monster, then what Xu Long said before must have been true.
Pudu Cihang devoured the emperor and numerous officials; he was the true culprit behind the nation's decline.
He was escorting Fu Tianchou to the capital, yet this man couldn't wait to catch up—was he just trying to devour Fu Tianchou?
"Kill!"
Before Thousand-Commander Zuo could recover, the twelve Buddhist nuns shouted angrily and all went into stealth mode.
These were all little monsters trained by Pudu Cihang, of no use to Xu Long, but quite terrifying in Thousand-Commander Zuo's eyes.
" Yan Chixia, Zhiqiu Yiye, you two go and kill all those lesser demons. This old monster is beyond your capabilities!"
Xu Long let out a low growl, his expression more solemn than ever before.
This old monster's aura was obscure and profound; he was no ordinary character.
Having withstood its own attack, which only destroyed its human form, it clearly still had considerable strength remaining.
Given Yan Chixia and Zhiqiu Yiye's strength, they would probably be instantly killed.
"Disrespect for the gods deserves death!"
Pudu Cihang shouted angrily, and immediately golden light burst forth.
This is a wide-range spell; anyone who gets close will be melted.
This melting is not due to changes in form caused by high temperature, but rather the direct destruction of the cell structure, making it unable to maintain its original form and turning it into a puddle of mud, which eventually disappears.
Without a sufficiently powerful physical body or a corresponding energy attack, even thousands or tens of thousands of cultivators would die here.
However, Xu Long simply didn't care about such tactics!
His physical body underwent a transformation, was enhanced by various cultivation techniques, and was tempered in multiple aspects such as pure yang, supreme yang, and extreme yang. He also experienced the reshaping of the Power of Oblivion within Fengdu City.
At this point, Xu Long's physical body had long surpassed the limits that humans could reach, and was even stronger than the physical bodies of many strange beasts, ferocious beasts, and divine beasts.
Golden light enveloped him, like the sun's last struggle at dusk.
Aside from being a little hot, it's completely useless.
That's it?
Xu Long chuckled and leaped towards Pudu Cihang.
He didn't want to give the old monster another chance to transform. Taking advantage of Pudu Cihang being in the form of Tathagata, he decided to finish the battle in one strike.
Xu Long had already formed his judgment based on the fact that Pudu Cihang had previously referred to "deities" rather than "spirits" or "gods".
Tathagata is one of the titles of Buddha. Buddha does not actually exist, but rather arises from human faith.
Unlike Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, he was a real historical figure.
Some religions are indeed quite foolish. The founders of these religions are not supreme gods, and the writers of their scriptures are not supreme gods. Instead, they portray things that do not exist as gods.
There's no word other than "idiot" to describe him.
Pudu Cihang calls himself a deity, clearly knowing the difference between himself and gods or spirits.
Therefore, this old man is most likely not a native of this world.
"Court death!"
Seeing Xu Long attack, Pudu Cihang suddenly opened his clasped hands and slammed them down.
Rumble!
This palm strike was extremely fierce, possessing both the power of a giant palm and the threat of golden light.
If a Nascent Spirit Severing Stage cultivator were to be struck by this, they would be severely injured, even if they didn't die.
However, Xu Long was no ordinary person; it wasn't that he couldn't withstand it, but rather that he simply didn't try to withstand it.
laugh!
After using Instant Transmission to dodge the attack, a burst of sword light followed immediately.
Previously, he destroyed Pudu Cihang's human form with a single sword strike; even if this strike doesn't destroy it, it will still injure him.
The sword light slashed fiercely at the golden palm, immediately beginning to corrode it.
"What kind of power is this?!"
A look of terror appeared on Pudu Cihang's majestic face. The Tathagata form was clearly immune to physical attacks and also had great resistance to magic.
But what's the situation now?
Why is his hand gone?
Although terrified, Pudu Cihang did not hesitate in the slightest.
The arm struck by the sword light snapped off instantly, turning to ashes and vanishing before it even hit the ground.
"Is this the Tathagata Buddha? He's nothing special!"
Xu Long sneered and used Instant Transmission again to appear in front of the golden Buddha.
The head is the most important part of the six yang energies; even if one becomes Kami, this is still a vital point.
Even if someone survives having their head shattered, their strength will be diminished.
Xu Long didn't know where Jin Fo's weakness was, so he decided to smash its head first.
Sizzle!
Sword light danced, enveloping the Pudu Cihang like a net from heaven and earth.
The Tathagata's form moves slowly, making it impossible to dodge.
The crisscrossing gray sword marks seemed to appear out of thin air, and then began to spread rapidly.
In less than two breaths, the Buddha statue turned to ashes and vanished.
