Holy Son Cao: If No One Steps Forward, I'll Start Calling Names

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the cultivators who appeared were all geniuses who had reached the True Intent Great Perfection from Great Sage.

In previous years, such prodigies would only appear on the last day.

However, this generation's True Intent Great Perfection was completely inadequate. Not to mention fighting against the holy sons of the Great Sage, they couldn't even overpower cultivators like Qin Qin and Shi Xuan who were at the Dao Integration Realm.

However, many bigwigs see this as the prelude to a great struggle.

Only when geniuses emerge in great numbers can Immortal Emperor appear on the Profound Heaven Continent.

Early that morning, cultivators from Great Sage arrived as scheduled. After the ten Saint exchanged pleasantries, the competition officially began.

At the Dao-Seeking Academy, Cao Youqian stood up and stretched his limbs. He bowed to Chu Feng and said, "Master, this disciple will make the first move."

"Go."

Chu Feng didn't tell Cao Youqian back; the kid had been watching the show for so many days and was already itching to get going.

Cao Youqian took a step forward and appeared in mid-air the next second. He glanced at all the cultivators present and said, "Cao Youqian, the Holy Son of the Dao-Seeking Academy, is here. Who dares to fight me!"

That's insane! Absolutely insane!

The thought flashed through everyone's minds instantly, but no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

Everyone present had heard rumors of Cao Youqian's arrogance, and today they finally had the chance to witness his power firsthand.

Silence. Cao Youqian was met with a moment of quiet.

Seeing that no one spoke, Cao Youqian's lips curled into a slight smile, "If none of you want to come up, then I'll call your names one by one."

Ignoring it, blatantly ignoring it.

The faces of the prodigies from the Great Sage immediately turned ugly, not because they were afraid of Cao Youqian.

Rather, he didn't want to be the first to act and let others benefit, after all, the Dao-Seeking Academy had two Holy Sons, and Xiao Chen's strength was a notch above Cao Youqian's.

Just then, a figure stepped through the air from within the Great Thunderclap Temple, riding on a golden lotus.

The person arrived before the voice.

"Amitabha Buddha, this humble Moke has come to learn from the esteemed Holy Son Cao's profound skills."

Moke humbly put his hands together in prayer.

"So you're the prodigy that the Great Thunderclap Temple invited from the Heaven Continent?"

Cao Youqian sized up the short, bald man with a sour face and a muscular build in front of him, and made a joke.

"Indeed, it is I, the humble monk. It is my honor to be remembered by the Holy Son."

Buddha Son Moke remained humble, and compared to Cao Youqian's arrogance, his demeanor undoubtedly won him more favor.

"Make your move."

Cao Youqian crossed his arms in front of him, his face full of disdain.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. It would be impolite of me to refuse."

After speaking, Moke sat cross-legged, emanating a dazzling Buddhist light.

Immediately following, a majestic Buddha Faxiang stood between heaven and earth.

In an instant, the Buddha's light shone forth from the abbot's quarters, its dazzling brilliance surpassing even the sun's rays.

Most of the cultivators below Nirvana only glanced at the Buddha statue before they couldn't help but kneel down, their faces showing a devout expression, and began to worship.

Even the older generation of King and Marquis were so moved by the Buddha's aura emanating from the statue that they felt a strong urge to convert to Buddhism.

"The younger generation is truly formidable!"

"This Buddha Son Moke is likely a top-tier expert in the Heaven Continent; given time, he will surely become Divine King."

"..."

Seeing this, Cao Youqian remained motionless, smiling as he said, "Little monk, don't try to fool this holy son with these mystical tricks. Hurry up and make your move; this holy son can't wait any longer."

Moke slowly closed his eyes and uttered four words: "Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere shines everywhere."

Words become law.

In an instant, a radiant beam of Buddhist light swept towards Cao Youqian.

Wherever the Buddha's light shines, the world changes color, and all living beings worship with utmost devotion.

In the blink of an eye, the Buddha's light engulfed Cao Youqian.

That's it?

The onlookers were astonished that Cao Youqian didn't even have a chance to fight back. This was an attack that contained the True Essence of the Buddhist Dao. Even if Cao Youqian had comprehended the True Essence of the Great Dao, he couldn't possibly withstand this attack with his bare physical body.

A moment later, the Buddha's light dissipated.

Everyone looked in the direction where Cao Youqian was, and when they saw that Cao Youqian was unharmed and still standing motionless in mid-air with his arms crossed, they subconsciously gasped.

hiss...

"This Holy Son Cao's physical body is too powerful; it's practically comparable to a sacred artifact."

"As expected of the second most talented student in the Profound Continent, he has every right to be arrogant!"

"..."

Of course, the most surprised person in the room was Moke. Although he had only been testing the waters, he never expected that this Holy Son Cao would be so powerful.

Cao Youqian's lips curled up slightly as he sneered, "Put more pressure on me. That move of yours isn't even enough to tickle me."

Moke knew that the man before him was deliberately provoking him, trying to break his guard and make him angry. He subconsciously clenched his teeth and forced a smile, "Holy Son Cao is indeed powerful. This humble monk was rude just now. This time, this humble monk will use the Imperial Technique of the Great Thunderclap Temple. I would appreciate your guidance, fellow Daoist."

"Oh."

Cao Youqian immediately became interested and said with a smile, "Alright, if you can let me see an Imperial Technique, then your trip won't have been in vain."

???

Moke was taken aback at first, but quickly realized that the other party was mocking him.

I must not break the precept against anger; this battle is merely a test from the Buddha for this humble monk.

Thinking of this, he clasped his hands together again, and the next second, a celestial light emanated from his body. The dazzling celestial light and the light emitted by his Faxiang quickly merged into one.

At this moment, Moke was like the Buddha descending to earth; even before he made a move, he inspired the thought that no one could contend with him.

The cultivators present were all knowledgeable and experienced, and they recognized Moke's Immortal Physique at a glance.

"Jin Gang Indestructible Immortal Physique!"

"I never expected that this Buddha Son Moke would awaken Immortal Physique. This battle is probably the most spectacular in nearly ten thousand years."

"..."

Upon seeing the celestial light emanating from the other party, Cao Youqian's playful expression vanished, replaced by excitement.

"Little monk, I never expected you to bring me such a big surprise! Impressive!"

As he spoke, Cao Youqian's body erupted with divine light, and his oppressive aura spread outwards.

An Faxiang identical to his own also stood in the sky.

Under the radiant light, Cao Youqian appeared like an invincible Devil God, looking down upon the world.

"This kid actually uses himself as Faxiang, he's really arrogant!"

"Who was the last prodigy who used his own Faxiang?"

"..."

The crowd began to discuss amongst themselves, after all, it had been many years since they had seen a prodigy who had taken on the role of Faxiang.

The murmurs of the crowd did not affect the two figures facing off in the sky; their auras continued to rise.

A terrifying pressure enveloped the entire battle arena, with both sides suppressing each other, creating a stalemate...
