When Dingguang Huanxi Buddha saw Tongtian Jiaozhu slowly approaching from afar, he let out a piercing scream, his face turned deathly pale, and his body trembled involuntarily.
He had only one thought in his mind: escape!
However, when he tried to run away, he suddenly found that he was locked by a force of energy, and suddenly became powerless, his legs were nailed to the ground and he could not move.
Just then, Jade Cauldron Immortal caught up and quickly overtook Dingguang Huanxi Buddha, who was standing still in place. Without even glancing at him, he walked straight to Tongtian Jiaozhu.
"Disciple greets Martial Uncle."
After bowing respectfully, Master Yuding carefully picked up the Immortal-Trapping Sword with both hands, bent down, and handed it to Master Tongtian.
"Uncle-Master, your arrival is perfectly timed. This treasure should now be returned to your hands," said Jade Cauldron Immortal.
The Tongtian Sect Leader nodded slightly in approval, then extended his finger and gently tapped the air. The Immortal Trapping Sword flew out of Yu Ding Zhenren's hand and landed steadily in his palm.
At this moment, Dingguang Huanxi Buddha seemed to awaken from a dream, dragging his legs which felt as heavy as lead, and struggled to stand before Tongtian Jiaozhu, kneeling down amidst the swirling clouds and mist.
"Disciple greets Master!"
The voice of Dipankara Buddha trembled, revealing a hint of fear and awe.
However, upon hearing these words, the Tongtian Sect Leader's expression instantly turned extremely cold.
This wretched child, how dare he call himself a teacher?
The Jade Cauldron Immortal standing to the side also wore a look of disdain, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips.
Hmph! Is this what they call disciples of the Jie Sect?!
However, when he thought of Manjushri Bodhisattva and others, a sense of self-mockery welled up in his heart.
In reality, how different can there be between the two religions?
What right do I have to laugh at others?
Master Yu Ding couldn't help but ponder to himself.
The Tongtian Sect Leader ignored Dingguang Huanxi Buddha. He held the Xianxian Sword horizontally in front of him, then bent his finger and lightly flicked the blade.
"bite!"
A clear, melodious, and pleasant sword cry resounded through the sky, seemingly transcending the boundaries of time and space, echoing endlessly throughout the entire world...
The sound of the sword rang out like heavenly music, awe-inspiring and captivating.
It seems to contain endless power and majesty.
Amidst the soul-stirring sound of the sword's cry, Dingguang Huanxi Buddha trembled even more, not daring to raise his head and meet the gaze of Tongtian Jiaozhu.
The Tongtian Sect Leader looked coldly at the Dingguang Huanxi Buddha kneeling on the clouds, his eyes revealing a hint of disappointment and helplessness.
Although the Buddha of Dipankara had betrayed him, the two were still master and disciple.
Even though the lifespan of the Buddha Dingguang Huanxi is nearing its end, he should not die by his own hand.
The Tongtian Sect Leader slowly sheathed the Immortal-Trapping Sword and gently patted the neck of the Kui Niu beneath him.
Kui Niu seemed to understand its master's intention. After letting out a low moo, it immediately turned and sped off towards the distant sea of clouds.
"Phew!" Dingguang Huanxi Buddha watched Tongtian Jiaozhu leave and secretly rejoiced, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
However, his joy was short-lived, interrupted by a cold laugh from the side.
"You wretched child! Aren't you celebrating too soon?"
The voice of Jade Tripod Immortal resounded like thunder in the ears of Dipankara Buddha.
With a single step, Jade Cauldron Immortal appeared behind the Buddha of Divine Light in an instant, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
Suddenly, a long sword appeared in Yu Ding Zhenren's hand, and he slashed down with all his might.
Although Dipankara Buddha was afraid of death, he was very clever.
Although he was somewhat unsettled at the moment, he still reacted in time when Jade Cauldron Immortal's sword fell.
Unable to stand up and dodge in time, he could only roll around in the clouds to escape.
"Hmph! Trying to run away?!"
Master Yuding snorted contemptuously, quickened his pace to catch up, and thrust his sword at the Buddha Dingguang Huanxi.
Dipankara Buddha was preparing to use his magic weapon to defend himself and buy himself some time to escape.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, a sword's cry came from the depths of the sea of clouds.
His mind suddenly went blank, and his spirit was momentarily lost.
The next moment, Master Yuding pierced his heart with a sword.
The sound of the sword just now did not come from anyone else, but was the echo of the Tongtian Sect Leader flicking his sword when he was still there.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Dingguang Huanxi Buddha wanted to escape with his primordial spirit in order to save his life, but Yuding Zhenren did not give him this opportunity.
Without even drawing his sword, Master Yuding simply raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike at the Buddha Dingguang Huanxi.
With a deafening roar, a ball of Jade Purity Divine Thunder surged forth like a raging torrent, instantly engulfing the Buddha of Divine Light and Joy.
As the divine thunder exploded, the Buddha of Delight and Joy let out a bloodcurdling scream, and then his physical body and primordial spirit were reduced to countless dust particles in the lightning.
After the thunder dissipated, the Buddha of Dipankara had completely vanished without a trace, as if he had never existed at all.
However, a moment later, a faint true spirit appeared from the void.
This true spirit appeared and disappeared in the clouds and mist, seemingly extremely fragile, as if it could dissipate with the slightest breeze.
Master Yu Ding looked at the true spirit, but didn't seem to care.
He knew very well that it was only by sheer luck that the Buddha of Dipankara was able to leave behind this true spirit.
This person was already listed on the Investiture of the Gods, and only because he received the protection and favor of the Mandate of Heaven was he able to retain a sliver of life from this devastating lightning strike, preventing his soul from being completely annihilated...
Seeing that the true spirit of the Buddha of Divine Light had become extremely weak, the Jade Cauldron Immortal still felt great compassion and raised his hand to send out a ball of Jade Purity Immortal Light to protect the true spirit, before watching the true spirit disappear into the depths of the sea of clouds...
After dealing with the Buddha of Fixed Light and Joy, Master Yuding returned to the Lotus Bodhi Formation...
At that very moment, Hu Le was sitting upright on a mountaintop not far from the Lotus Bodhi Grand Array, his eyes closed, quietly resting.
His mount leaned leisurely against a large rock, lying down and lazily enjoying the warmth of the sun.
Time passed second by second, and no one knew exactly how much time had gone by.
Suddenly, the white bull, the mount, raised its head and looked up at the sky.
High in the sky, a dazzling beam of Buddhist light plummeted like a meteor, crashing down with a deafening roar. It struck a nearby object, kicking up a thick cloud of dust and creating a huge crater.
A moment later, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the Buddha's light also disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, a bald man slowly emerged from the pit.
Almost simultaneously, a dazzling beam of light roared down from the sky.
He landed on the ground in an instant, and as the light dissipated, Dao Xing Tian Zun, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, emerged from it.
As for the bald man who crawled out of the pit, Bai Niu recognized him; he was clearly Ma Yuanzun Wang Buddha, one of the Buddhas of Mount Ling...
