Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Marvelous Dharma Body, Seven Killings in Power

“Imperial Mountain Shifting Technique!”

Lü Yang went all out from the start. Wielding the Tribulation Wave, he executed the Finger Technique, Incantation, and Pointing Profound in one smooth sequence, all enhanced by a Divine Effect.

Lü Yang had been planning this move for a long time.

He had deliberately used the sky-filling Sword Light and his Dharma Body to obscure Venerable Weimotuo’s vision. By the time the Venerable broke through the many obstacles and finally saw Lü Yang, he also saw Lü Yang’s Finger Technique, heard his Incantation, and found the final Pointing Profound impossible to evade.

“GUSH!”

In the next second, Venerable Weimotuo was hit by Lü Yang’s fully-powered Imperial Mountain Shifting Technique. An endless torrent of mud instantly poured from his seven orifices.

“Amitabha!”

Venerable Weimotuo had suffered a major setback right from the start. He immediately halted his ascent and chanted a Buddha’s Name before spitting out a mouthful of dazzling, fiery Buddha Light.

The flames spread over his entire body, about to dissolve the mud.

However, Lü Yang wasn’t about to give him the chance. At almost the exact moment Venerable Weimotuo tried to dispel the Magic, Lü Yang’s figure vanished from his spot.

Seeing this, Venerable Weimotuo hastily slapped his forehead.

The next second, Buddha Light flared, and a Zen staff materialized in front of him, blocking the edge of the Tribulation Wave at the last possible moment.

“CLANG—!”

Instantly, sparks flew. The sound of clashing gold and iron seemed to pierce the clouds and shatter stone. Even though it was blocked, the sharp Sword Qi made Venerable Weimotuo’s entire body ache with a piercing pain.

In that moment, Venerable Weimotuo flew into a rage:

“Demon! How dare you be so brazen?”

With this furious roar, Venerable Weimotuo’s figure suddenly swelled. Layers of Buddha Light bloomed behind him, where Zen Forests stood tall, revealing a vast Pure Land.

Immediately after, countless golden lights flew out from the Pure Land, falling upon Venerable Weimotuo like golden lacquer. They dyed his form as if it were cast from gold, and his body swelled once more, transforming in the blink of an eye into a majestic, towering Golden Body with a dignified appearance that touched the heavens and stood upon the earth.

Golden Chestnut Buddha’s Dharma Body!

The moment Venerable Weimotuo revealed this technique, Lü Yang narrowed his eyes. He sensed a strikingly similar Qi trace from this towering Golden Body.

’Just like me… he’s performing Qi Collection in the Ten Thousand Martial Realm?’

Lü Yang suddenly recalled that the Ten Thousand Martial Realm wasn’t just the Stain Sect’s territory. Master Miaoyin had once said that the Pure Land also had interests there.

As his thoughts raced, Lü Yang didn’t yield an inch.

He was confident that his gains in the Ten Thousand Martial Realm were extraordinary; not even a Great Trueman could necessarily defeat him. If it came down to a contest of Dharma Bodies, the winner was still undecided!

“BOOM!”

The next second, the two Dharma Bodies crashed into each other like a landslide and a tsunami. Profound Fire rained down on one side while golden light disintegrated on the other, creating a heaven-shattering sound.

This scene made Venerable Weimotuo’s expression turn solemn. He clearly hadn’t expected Lü Yang’s Dharma Body to be so ferocious. But he was, after all, a Venerable of the Pure Land, a Great Trueman. How could he believe he was no match for a mere junior who had advanced later? He immediately refused to give ground and clashed with him head-on.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Each collision was like a thousand thunderclaps exploding at once. Lü Yang merged with his Dharma Body, his Innate Ability working in concert with the Dharma Body’s Divine Mysterious, and a Daoist sound suddenly burst from his lips:

“Break! Shatter! Split! Ruin! Die!”

With each word he shouted, Lü Yang drove his Dharma Body to throw a full-force punch, while a brilliant Divine Power Radiance simultaneously blessed his body.

Assassinate the Ruling Power!

When the Seven Kills hold power, it becomes a disaster if unchecked. The effect of this Innate Divine Technique was simple: it made anyone with hostile intent toward Lü Yang suffer a Calamity.

This Calamity could be a small mistake during Combat, or a sudden Qi deviation leading to cultivation frenzy. The greater the gap in Cultivation between the two parties, the more powerful the Calamity. Strictly speaking, this was a simplified version of Heaven and Earth’s Killing Intent, capable of killing someone without a trace!

In the next second, Venerable Weimotuo’s body suddenly froze.

If Justification and Qian Heaven alone weren’t enough to shake his Golden Body, then Assassinate the Ruling Power was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

For a moment, he felt his Qi trace become unstable.

His Dharma Body, which had been operating smoothly, suddenly showed signs of restriction. It seemed that previously undiscovered flaws and hidden dangers were now erupting all at once.

This included the latent injuries from when Great Undertaking had killed him—injuries that hadn’t fully healed even after he reformed his Dharma Body. They erupted now, creating a violent chain reaction. In an instant, his state, which had originally had strength to spare, became precarious. Before he could even adjust, Lü Yang struck with all his might!

“BOOM!”

With a final, massive crash, the golden Buddha Light was shattered in one blow. It abruptly disintegrated into a sky full of golden rain, though it was impossible to tell if it was golden light or blood.

The Golden Chestnut Buddha’s Dharma Body was broken!

’Perfect timing!’

Lü Yang took a step back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. The price he’d paid was not small either; his manifested Dharma Body was also covered in fine cracks.

However, for the current him, these injuries were just right!

With the blessing of his Dharma Body’s Divine Effect, the more severe his injuries, the stronger his Divine Power became. It was now surging tempestuously, even stronger than when he started!

“Huuuu…” Lü Yang took a deep breath.

Almost simultaneously, the Heavenly Qian Totalizing All Manifestations Dharma Body behind him also inhaled. An invisible suction force once again fell upon Venerable Weimotuo.

General Overview!

This Divine Mysterious of his Dharma Body was a specific counter to Monks. Venerable Weimotuo’s Soul was already unstable from having been killed once before, and now he felt the world itself shake and sway.

’This is bad!’

Only at this moment did a chill finally creep into Venerable Weimotuo’s heart.

He realized that he and Lü Yang had fought to this extent, yet the Dao Court and Sword Pavilion still hadn’t reacted. Not a single person had come to help him.

’This junior… he planned this long ago! He came prepared!’

Just as Venerable Weimotuo thought, Lü Yang’s decision to come and fight him to the death was no mere impulse. It was a calculated move made after weighing the pros and cons.

After all, now that he had successfully broken through, his quasi-Great Trueman status had demonstrated enough “value” to once again earn the attention of the Stain Sect’s Perfected Lords.

Moreover, even among those whose path to the Dao was severed, there was a huge difference between an ordinary Perfected Person and a Great Trueman. A Great Trueman was a figure of note even in the eyes of a Perfected Lord. As for having a severed path? For a Great Trueman, this was actually a bonus, making it even easier to gain a Perfected Lord’s favor.

And with the Stain Sect’s backing, many things would become much easier to handle.

He had previously been hunted by various factions. Now that Lü Yang had turned the tables, and neither side wanted to completely break off relations, some form of tacit compensation was naturally required.

And so, Lü Yang proposed his compensation through his actions.

He wanted to kill Vimalakirti!

Under these circumstances, not even the Pure Land would try to stop Lü Yang, because in the eyes of most, this was just a small, willful whim of his.

You want to kill Vimalakirti, but can you actually do it?

What a joke. How could a Great Trueman die so easily? Especially one from the Pure Land. At worst, his Dharma Body would be destroyed, and he would just be reborn again.

In the eyes of the Perfected Lords in the heavens, and even the other Great Truemen, it was simply impossible for Lü Yang to kill Vimalakirti. Thus, they had no intention of stopping him. This was a perfect way to “compensate” and dismiss Lü Yang while also saving themselves some resources. As for Vimalakirti? He would just have to suffer a bit.

Monks were tough-skinned and hard to kill anyway.

Could he really be killed?

At this very moment, only Venerable Weimotuo, who was facing Lü Yang directly, could personally feel the immense pressure this junior was putting on him.

’He wants to kill me… Can he actually kill me?’

Venerable Weimotuo didn’t know the specific details, but his Great Trueman’s Spiritual Sense was constantly warning him that Lü Yang still had a powerful technique he hadn’t used.

’That Spirit Sword!’

The image of Lü Yang previously splitting the sea and sky with a single slash flashed through his mind. At the time, that slash had been nothing to him, but now… things might be different!
