"The only person I, Li Tianji, can follow is the Divine Child. No one else is qualified!"
Li Tianji, carrying a blood-stained sword, fought his way out of the encirclement of numerous prodigies, roaring like an invincible demon god.
That overwhelming bloodthirsty killing intent pierced through the nine heavens, stirred up the winds and clouds of the eight wastelands, and startled the geniuses from all directions to stop in their tracks, their hearts trembling incessantly.
Who said Li Tianji was merely a civil official with no fighting ability whatsoever?
Step forward, I promise I won't kill you!
Do you think you can get away with this?
Just as Li Tianji broke through the encirclement and was about to shift the battlefield.
A voice as gentle as a spring breeze suddenly rang out from the distant horizon.
Suddenly, a peaceful Buddha's light shone across the distant sky, illuminating the world.
A young man in a kasaya was surrounded by guards in the center, like a star surrounded by the moon.
He radiated a dazzling Buddhist light, his appearance solemn and dignified, looking incredibly sacred.
The young man in the kasaya did not have a shaved head, unlike ordinary monks.
He had long, flowing hair, and his handsome face was dignified and solemn.
The believers who came to support the youth all looked devout, burning incense and worshipping.
Their eyes were glazed over, as if they had lost their souls, and they were all completely controlled by the young man.
" Huikong!"
Upon seeing the young man in the cassock, Li Tianji's eyes turned cold, a murderous intent flickering within them.
This holy son of Thunder Sound Temple appears to be a refined gentleman on the surface, but in reality, he is a hypocrite.
To achieve their goals, they will stop at nothing; they will kill without blinking an eye!
You think someone like this can be entrusted with Li Tianji's assistance?
Keep dreaming!
" Li Tianji, I advise you to be sensible and offer up your soul so that I may imprint a slave mark upon you, making you my master."
Huikong stood with his hands behind his back, his voice booming with a strange, magical power, as if he could guide people to the afterlife.
"Who do you think you are? Get the hell out of my way!"
Li Tianji's gaze was cold as he confronted Huikong head-on, showing her no respect whatsoever.
Throughout his life, he will only be loyal to Li Xunyuan, assisting him in fulfilling his destiny and ascending to the supreme imperial throne.
As for the others, Li Tianji wouldn't even glance at them, even if he were to die.
"Those who insult the Son deserve to die!"
The followers' eyes flashed coldly; they would not allow anyone to insult Huikong, and in an instant, they all attacked Li Tianji.
Hundreds of prodigies burst forth from the sky, their various colorful divine abilities blotting out the sun and the heavens, their killing intent enveloping the firmament, their power terrifying beyond measure.
"Just because I haven't shown my teeth doesn't mean I'm easy to bully!"
Li Tianji changed hand seals, forcing out a drop of his heart's blood, which merged into the surrounding world.
Buzz!
He lightly Xukong with his finger, and instantly, ancient, crisscrossing patterns appeared throughout the entire world.
Cause and effect are intertwined, and fate follows.
An indescribable, mysterious power suddenly filled the entire world.
Rumble!
The heavens and earth roared, and every causal line glowed, gradually spreading out from beneath Li Tianji's feet, imprisoning the Xukong Glazed Heaven Realm.
Huikong's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously stepped back, trying to leave this sealed-off world.
"Aren't you a little too late to leave now?"
A cruel smile curled at the corner of Li Tianji's lips, and then he stomped his foot hard on the Xukong.
In an instant, beams of divine light shot up from the earth, stirring up the winds and clouds of the eight wastelands and imprisoning the eternal heavens and earth.
The attacks of hundreds of prodigies were suddenly intercepted by a strange force.
In that instant, everything melted away and disintegrated, vanishing into thin air with the wind.
The hundred attacks were easily neutralized, and the group of geniuses panicked upon seeing this.
They suddenly discovered that, without them noticing, a star chart had mysteriously appeared beneath their feet, and everyone seemed to be a chess piece on the board.
"Destiny and karma, all living beings are but pawns in a game!"
A cold and majestic voice came from the depths of the outer sky.
And in the sky above, Li Tianji stood tall between heaven and earth, like Pangu who created the world.
Compared to his towering figure, which seemed to embody the Dharma Heaven and Earth, the geniuses present were as insignificant as ants.
boom!
Li Tianji reached out his large hand, holding a star in his palm as it fell, as if it were the hand of heaven, arbitrarily determining the Life and Death of everyone.
"No!"
The group of prodigies were horrified and filled with fear, trying to escape this Living Beings Chessboard.
Unfortunately, all efforts were in vain.
The hand of Heaven descended, and most of the prodigies were instantly suppressed, leaving no trace of their bodies.
"Break for me, Holy Son!"
Huikong did not sit idly by and wait for his death. A Buddha figure appeared behind him, sitting cross-legged in the heavens, bathed in Buddha's light and accompanied by chanting.
Countless streams of faith converged around him, countless and innumerable.
These powers of faith were extremely brilliant, as if forged from celestial gold, radiating dazzling light and merging with the Buddha's shadow.
"Town!"
Huikong raised his hand and struck out with a palm. The Radiant Buddha on his back moved in sync with his hand movement, pressing down on Li Tianji.
Rumble!
A deafening roar echoed through the sky, unleashing a massive surge of energy that threatened to destroy the Heaven Annihilation and the earth.
When the storm subsided, Huikong stood in the mortal world, his eyes shining, the swastika symbol flowing within them, giving rise to a pure land.
"Interesting. This makes me more qualified to assist this Holy Son!"
Huikong's black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and his eyes reflected a pure land, like a Buddha or Daoist Saint descending to earth.
The Li Lineage is indeed powerful in the Primordial Dao Domain, but the overall strength of Thunder Sound Temple is not weak either.
In the Emperor Fall Battle Realm, background doesn't matter; only the strength of one's own fists matters.
Therefore, Huikong did not have much fear of the Li Lineage.
"Holy Son, save me!"
Those few dozen followers who had survived by sheer luck, as if grasping at a straw, rushed toward Huikong, actively seeking his protection.
Just a moment ago, everyone felt as if they were playing a game of chess with the heavens, which inexplicably filled them with despair!
"This holy son... of course I will save you!"
Huikong gave a wicked smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange demonic mist surged out from his body.
Then it transformed into a soul-snatching chain, piercing the hearts of all its followers in an instant.
"To become one with this Holy Son is the best destiny for you in this life!"
A terrifying suction force erupted, and before dozens of prodigies could even scream, they were all blown into a bloody mist.
Huikong opened his mouth and inhaled, and endless blood mist, accompanied by life essence, rushed in and was instantly refined by him.
Rumble!
Eleven Life Palace leaped out from above Huikong's head in succession, and the Buddha shadow behind him vaguely showed a tendency to evolve into a twelfth Life Palace.
" Bloodbath of Mountains and Rivers!"
Huikong clasped his hands together, transforming from a Buddhist to a demon, unleashing an apocalyptic aura of slaughter that swept across the land.
In an instant, the divine mountain collapsed, the Xukong shattered, and the stars in the heavens shifted, presenting a scene of Heaven Annihilation.
boom!
The eleven Life Palace condensed into a demonic blade, carrying a tragic aura, and slashed out horizontally, as if splitting the entire world in two.
Boom!
Between heaven and earth, patterns were breaking, and the Living Beings Chessboard was crumbling.
Devastating storms began to spread in all directions.
Li Tianji coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggered backward, and his face was as pale as paper.
The constant fighting over the long term had depleted his spiritual power to almost nothing.
Now, having withstood the onslaught of a hundred prodigies and engaged in a fierce battle with Huikong, he is at his wit's end.
If he were at his peak, he could easily kill someone like Huikong.
"Our strength is still too weak; we're finding ourselves struggling."
Li Tianji sighed helplessly.
Faced with Life and Death, he felt no fear, only a sense of helplessness.
"I have planted the mark of slavery upon you. From this day forward, you will be the assistant of this divine child!"
Huikong formed a hand seal, and strands of divine chains of order descended around him, transforming into an ancient talisman to implant a slave seal on Li Tianji.
"You old bald monk, I advise you to give up on that idea. Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me to the underworld."
The Karma Bloodline within Li Tianji's body was burning; he needed to consume his lifespan to restore himself to his peak condition.
He, Li Tianji, will not tarnish the illustrious name of the Divine Child!
Just as Li Tianji was preparing to sacrifice himself.
His hands suddenly sank, and a person suddenly appeared in his arms, almost causing him to fall from the Xukong.
Then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out in front of me.
"Don't threaten suicide so easily, it makes things difficult for me!"
