Tan Mingyue unleashed another slash, a simple strike that contained immense power.
Gongshu Wang summoned a celestial sword, unleashed the power of his Dharma form, and shot out countless sword beams, finally blocking what seemed like an ordinary strike.
Just as Tan Mingyue was about to strike again, a sword beam suddenly shot out, which he blocked with a single strike.
"Hmm? Another Venerable One has arrived?"
But then a man stood with his hands behind his back, flying in from afar with great elegance. The sword light he had just unleashed was from this man's bare hands.
Tan Mingyue narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "It's you, the second-in-command of the Owl Sect!"
"It is me!"
The visitor replied calmly, without the slightest embarrassment.
It turns out that this person is Ding Kelong, the second strategist of the Tianyu Xiaomen, who is jokingly referred to as the second brother of Xiaomen by outsiders.
Gongshu Wang nodded slightly to Ding Kelong, then flew to his side and stood slightly behind him, which showed the difference in their status.
Ding Kelong laughed and said, "Venerable Tan's use of the Heaven-Opening Palm is truly impressive. I admire him!"
Gongshu Wang was greatly surprised. "Second Sect Master, you said his sword technique just now was the Heaven-Opening Palm? Then he's from the Tantai family?"
"Although it's not, it's still very relevant!" Ding Kelong said calmly.
Tan Mingyue's expression changed slightly, and he snorted, "You second brother, you really know a lot!"
After saying that, he flashed his immortal sword, and the light of the sword flashed across the faces of Ding Kelong and Gongshu Wang.
"Old man Gongshu, for the sake of the second-in-command of the Xiaomen, I will spare you today. Get lost!"
"you…"
Gongshu Wang wanted to rebuke Tan Mingyue and regain some face, but Ding Kelong stopped him.
"Master Gongshu, don't be anxious. There's a saying in the mortal realm: a gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years."
As venerable beings, it's not too late for us to wait a hundred or a thousand years.
Let's go!
The two quickly turned into two black dots, but a voice immediately followed.
"Hmph, Venerable Tan, the only connection between Lanhua and the Tantai family is Tantai Ziyue."
"You're so protective of Lan Hua, you must have a close relationship with Zi Yue, right? We'll see!"
The voice came from Ding Kelong. Although he didn't know how Tan Mingyue had appeared, he understood the relationship between the latter and Ziyue very well.
Tan Mingyue sneered, "We'll see. Who's afraid of who?"
Within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The sacred Buddhist artifact, the Bodhi Tree, shone with golden light, turning the originally red leaves completely golden.
Countless golden leaves burst forth from the gaps, resisting the attacks of the two powerful figures.
"Buddha, even if you possess celestial artifacts, it's merely a delaying tactic. The chaos in the Heavenly Realm will begin in your Paradise!"
"Amitabha! As long as I am here, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss will exist!"
The Buddha Emperor sat cross-legged in the void, and seven ten-thousand-foot-tall Buddha statues appeared around his body, which were the Seven Buddhas.
No matter how the powerful outsiders attacked, the Buddha Emperor remained unfazed, his Buddhist power seemingly inexhaustible.
"Buddha, I'm here to help you!"
A loud shout rang out, like a bolt from the blue, followed by a deafening roar from outside the crack.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing here? I didn't come to cause you any trouble, but you've come to bother me!"
The Buddha Emperor opened his eyes, golden light bursting forth from them. With a flick of his right hand, the seven golden Buddha bodies transformed into a radiant beam of light, shooting out of the crevice.
A muffled groan was heard, as the two intruders had suffered a setback.
The Buddha Emperor proclaimed loudly, "Dao Emperor, these two are attempting to overthrow the Heavenly Realm. In my Buddha's mercy, I am willing to bear the sins myself to execute them!"
"The Buddha Emperor's words are reasonable; those who plot against us should be executed!" the Dao Emperor agreed.
The Buddha Emperor suddenly put away the Holy Bodhi, transformed into a dazzling golden light, left the Pure Land, and charged towards the invaders.
Buddhist temple, Mount Sumeru.
But everyone saw four terrifying forces erupt and rush towards the outer edge of the Heavenly Domain.
Deng Xian'er was shocked. "Palace Master, did you sense those four forces just now?"
Wang Hongyuan nodded, "Four emperors have made their move; an imperial war is about to break out in the Heavenly Domain!"
Deng Xian'er asked in confusion, "Why did the four emperors suddenly start fighting?"
"The Buddha Emperor has not made a move until now. Even if someone attacks the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, he must be going to save face!"
"It seems there's a traitor in the Heavenly Realm. The Buddha Emperor must have gone to pursue him with the other emperors!" Tan Mingyue said.
“It’s the Dao Emperor! The other aura just now came from the Dao Emperor!” said Fa Yi, the deputy sect leader of the Dao Sect.
Just then, another voice came.
"I'll help you!"
Tao Qian, the deputy head of the Confucian school, exclaimed in surprise, "It's the Confucian Emperor who has made a move!"
"My God, the strongest figures from the three religions have all made their moves today. Who on earth provoked the Three Emperors to take action?"
In the far distance, the light flickered intermittently, but its brightness gradually decreased, indicating that the battlefield was becoming increasingly distant.
Wang Hongyuan came to his senses and said, "There are only so many Heavenly Domain Emperors, but those two auras are very unfamiliar. Who could they be?"
Unbeknownst to the crowd, battles at the Emperor level were not something they could interfere with.
Even after the Buddha Emperor departed, the karmic force suppressed beneath Mount Sumeru continued to erupt. However, with the intervention of the three religions, the leaked karmic force was still somewhat under control.
The leaked karma was partially absorbed by evil cultivators, demonic cultivators, and Lan Hua.
However, most of it spread throughout the entire Heavenly Domain and was gradually purified.
Above Mount Sumeru, the two demonic monks were still fighting, with Fan Yuan's cultivation clearly inferior to Fan Gui's.
The latter's every move exuded Buddhist aura, making it increasingly difficult for Fan Yuan to defend himself.
"Fan Yuan, why don't you surrender now?"
"Pah! You old turtle, don't try to lecture me with those outdated Buddhist sayings!" Fan Yuan shouted.
"Then don't blame me for starting a killing spree!"
Fan Gui made a gesture with his right hand, and a nearly golden longsword appeared in his hand, exuding a powerful Buddhist aura.
"The Momentary Monk's Blade?"
Fan Yuan was taken aback. "I never expected that those old bald monks would give you such a divine artifact!"
"Eliminate corruption!"
With the Buddhist light radiating from his body, Fan Gui held the Buddhist knife in his hand and slashed down, causing the golden blade energy to surge instantly.
Fan Yuan swung his long staff, causing its shadow to surge, but it was easily broken by the golden blade energy.
The blade struck Fan Yuan hard, blasting him into the ground.
"What a brilliant poison-eliminating sword technique!" Fan Yuan rushed out of the pit, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Buddhism regards greed, anger, and ignorance as the three poisons, which are the root of evil. In order to eliminate these three poisons, great Buddhist masters created the Poison-Eliminating Knife Technique.
"Extinguish anger!"
With a simple, powerful slash, Fan Gui struck Fan Yuan once again, his blade wielding immense force and intent.
"ah…"
Fan Yuan screamed and was blasted underground. Fan Gui suddenly disappeared from the spot.
A few breaths later, Fan Gui, carrying Fan Yuan, rushed out of the deep pit and landed outside the Buddhist temple.
The arrogant and conceited Fan Yuan had his cultivation sealed, and now he knelt on both knees, facing the Buddhist sect.
"Senior brother, I have captured Fan Yuan. Please give me your instructions!" Fan Gui bowed respectfully.
The person in charge, Fan Xin, nodded slightly. "Thank you, junior brother. Please return to your positions quickly and suppress the karmic forces!"
"Understood!"
Fan Gui appeared beside Fan Xin in a flash, and his abundant Buddhist aura reappeared.
The mandala seal receives the powerful blessing of the Buddha, which further weakens the leaked karma.
Tan Mingyue looked at Fan Gui and said in a deep voice, "The Spirit Clan actually has such great talent, able to think of the path of cultivating both Buddha and demon. Perhaps this path can truly be followed!"
Wang Hongyuan sighed, "That's right, if given enough time, he will definitely become an emperor!"
"But does he still have enough time?"
