Chapter 619 - When The Flower Bloomed, It Saw Me, and I Saw Tathagata
Under the bright moon blade gleam, everything had nowhere to hide. The Supreme Dao of Blade created by Emperor Xia using the Primeval Demon Technique as the basis was currently exhibiting its power. The void became eroded. Taiyin Water wrapped around Lu Ya and Emperor Xia. From the outside, people could only see the two badgering.
Every blade of Emperor Xia was as clear as the moon in a clear sky. Where the blade gleam went through, there was a huge drain formed silently in the void. An odd dimension appeared and disappeared and there were storm, thunder, water, and fire.
It was not known whether Lu Ya intentionally led the blade gleam of Emperor Xia step by step. The two were fighting in the depth of the chaos of the void. Tianyi too had to consider the pieces of s.p.a.ce when he wanted to interfere.
When the Lady Mother of the Chariot stopped waving the six-soul flag, a giant deity appeared. He wore a golden crown and he had eyebrows like the mountain. His face was fierce, and he had three faces and three bodies. When he appeared, the void was filled with terrifying divine aura, the spatial waves were almost frozen.
When she stepped out, she crashed the sacred painting into the battle between Emperor Xia and Lu Ya. The three-face-three-body formed a formula, with the blinding Shangqing Celestial Light, it attacked Lu Ya directly, who was trying to fight against Emperor Xia"s heartless demonic blade.
Even with Lu Ya"s calm demeanor, he too could not underestimate the Lady Mother of the Chariot"s Shangqing Celestial Light. One had to know that the Order of Jie had countless talents but among the students, in terms of mana, the Lady Mother of the Chariot was among the top three. Even though she was not at her peak, the same went to Lu Ya, and hence he had to treat her seriously.
Lu Ya followed the blade gleam of Emperor Xia. He turned into a ray of rainbow, from there, a Buddha who was wearing a white Five Wisdom Crown flew out from the rainbow, his hand formed a Great Wisdom Mark as he sat steadily on top of a lotus bier. The Buddha was smiling, he could be explained as "When the flower bloomed, it saw me, and I saw Tathagata". After he studied Buddhism, not only did he achieve supreme demon body, he too achieved Mahavairocana.
There were up to ten thousand Buddhist light rays all of a sudden. A huge punch went against the Lady Mother of Chariot"s Shangqing Celestial Light but even with his Mahavairocana, he could not beat the Shangqing Celestial Light as when the Lunar Deity"s Taiyin Water combined with Shangqing Celestial Light, the power was enhanced greatly.
The Buddha punch dispersed within Shangqing Celestial Light. Lu Ya"s Mahavairocana was inferior. Tianyi"s brows furrowed further.
One could see the body of the Lady Mother of Chariot appeared in every coordinate possible and countless Shangqing Celestial Light and Taiyin Water were intertwining in the void in an indescribable manner.
The Buddha body was like the island in the midst of a stormy sea. While he stayed stationary, it seemed like he could be destroyed by the waves anytime. If Lu Ya only had this trick up his sleeves, it would be impossible for him to retreat entirely during the bestowment.
The Buddha face suddenly smiled in a mysterious manner as he sent two palms out. People felt that the world was crumbling down.
There was no doubt that Mahavairocana was a supreme technique as it tried to turn the tide around. The plain palm revealed the supreme profoundness hidden within it.
On the other hand, Emperor Xia"s blade gleam and the rainbow light kept intertwining. Daoist Lu Ya"s Rainbow Light technique was famous and it was a technique he learned in his early years. Not only was it the fastest among the three sects, it was also the most maneuverable within a small area.
Even with Emperor Xia"s knife technique, he could not harm the slightest of the rainbow light or the Primordial Spirit. One could tell how terrific Lu Ya"s movement was.
Daoist Lu Ya alone was fighting against three others, and hence, he could not give in his all. At the same time, Emperor Xia never gave him an opportunity to attack.
Daoist Lu Ya too never summoned his famous Celestial Slaying Sword. Tianyi dared not to join in, otherwise, it would be a terrifying view.
In reality, it was not because Lu Ya did not want to use the Celestial Slaying Sword but because it was not just a Ling Bao. It was an object in between Ling Bao and formula. When others gained permission from Lu Ya, they could make use of the Celestial Slaying Sword, but it would not be as powerful as when Lu Ya was using it.
When Lu Ya used the Celestial Slaying Sword with his spirit, Qi, and essence in one, his sword would be as powerful as karma. No matter how powerful the opponent was, his body and spirit would vanish completely.
In the besiegement of the top three masters, regardless of how arrogant Lu Ya was, he never had the chance to blend spirit, Qi, and essence into one to summon the Celestial Slaying Sword. Also, once the sword came out, his Qi would weaken significantly, hence, opening room for the others to attack.
Shen Lian constantly felt the pressing of the Register of Life and Death. He could not move, and in the process of fighting against the Register of Life and Death, he slowly a.n.a.lyzed the real form of the power of the Register of Life and Death.
Life and death stood just like Yin and Yang. Thus, there was a saying whereby there was the realm of the living as the Yang and the realm of the dead as the Yin. However, the Netherworld no longer looked to be ghostly as the sun brought in Qi of Yang into the world of death. The sun allowed for the world to be inhabited by people wherein the ghostly spirits had weakened significantly since Xia Clan and Dongyi chased them away.
Shen Lian still had not found an answer to why the sun appeared in the Netherworld.
The key reason why Shen Lian found it difficult to oppose the power of the Register of Life and Death was that of the two words, "Life" and "Death". As the power of life and death combined, Shen Lian"s celestial body was stuck between destruction and rebirth.
Furthermore, this situation got worse every time the rebirth and destruction happened. Shen Lian"s spirit within the celestial body was eroded each time which was equivalent to his Primordial Spirit and his essence being separated alive by the millstone.
If one had to use a metaphor to describe, Shen Lian was currently being tortured like a normal human being.
This was directly reflected in the psyche and the pain it brought along was a thousand times or ten thousand times worse than the torment a normal human being went through. If Shen Lian did not possess a firm Daoist heart, by then he would have lost his mind and would no longer resist.
Shen Lian made use of many techniques, including Dream Heart Sutra and Free Form Incarnation. However, in the face of this event, the methods remained futile and not even the Mastery of Senses could help.
Every method was meaningless in the face of the Millstone of Life and Death. It was as if he could only wait for his death.
Shen Lian did not intend to give up. There was fear in between life and death, there was too, freedom.
His Primordial Spirit got rid of the pain and he began to observe the reaction of every inch of his celestial body after destruction and rebirth so that he could a.n.a.lyze the real structure of the power of the Register of Life and Death.
By deducing using the Dao of Yi and finding the source, he would find the solution.
It took tremendous effort and he had little time left. Once he broke the power of the Register of Life and Death, it would bring great benefit to him. After the self-imposed heaven and earth, he still had to recreate the karmic cycle, otherwise, the living beings in the self-imposed heaven and earth had no place to go and could not go through the karmic cycle again.
This experience potentially determined whether he could find the answer to the mystery of the karmic cycle.
The sea of blood was vast and the endless waves were cras.h.i.+ng into a small hill.
"Benefactor Chen, you can"t leave the sea of blood." The voice of Buddha rang through the sea of blood, soothing the blood waves.
