As Maitreya Buddha saw the whisk coming, his expression changed slightly, and he dodged the attack in a flash.
However, just when he thought he had successfully dodged, he suddenly felt a powerful force rising from the whisk.
Suddenly, a dazzling innate Yin-Yang divine light burst forth from the whisk, its radiance as brilliant as a golden sun.
Maitreya Buddha was startled and quickly waved his hand, instantly producing a thousand-petaled golden lotus.
This thousand-petaled golden lotus emits a delicate fragrance, and its petals are as translucent as jade.
Maitreya Buddha held it in front of him, hoping to block the attack of this divine light.
However, to his surprise, the moment the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Light came into contact with the Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus, the entire space seemed to be torn apart.
The divine light rippled and easily enveloped the Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus.
This thousand-petaled golden lotus is the manifestation of Maitreya Buddha's spiritual attainments, containing his boundless Buddhist essence.
But at this moment, facing this mysterious and powerful innate Yin-Yang divine light, it was so utterly vulnerable.
Under the sweeping light of Yin and Yang, the Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus quickly shattered, transforming into wisps of Buddhist light that dissipated into the air.
Maitreya Buddha's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
He never imagined that his prized Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus would be destroyed in an instant.
Just how powerful is this Primordial Yin-Yang Divine Light?
Could it be that this person has already achieved the Hunyuan realm?
Maitreya Buddha took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
Seeing the divine light of Yin and Yang surge towards them again, Maitreya Buddha leaped forward at the last moment and managed to dodge it.
But then Guan Kong rushed forward again, flicked his whisk, and struck at him once more.
Maitreya Buddha dodged again.
Guan Kong unleashed several free-style moves, but Maitreya Buddha dodged them all.
At the same time, Maitreya Buddha also took the opportunity to hand over the long sword in his palm and stab it toward Guan Kong's heart.
Facing the longsword, Guan Kong simply flicked his whisk, and countless strands of dust spread out, instantly enveloping the sword. A surge of heavenly power erupted from the whisk.
A snap.
The sword had already been pulverized by this surge of heavenly power.
Upon seeing this, Maitreya Buddha quickly withdrew.
Clearly, after parrying just one move, he already knew that he was no match for Guan Kong.
Even if the opponent has not yet achieved Hunyuan, the power of the Heavenly Dao that the opponent can mobilize is something he cannot resist.
As for why he was able to be certain that even though Guan Kong's cultivation had greatly improved, he still had not yet become a saint.
That's easy. If Guan Kong has truly attained the Primordial Chaos, then...
He couldn't dodge those few moves at all.
After all, it's no joke that everyone below the level of a sage is just an ant.
Back then, Zhenyuan Daxian's cultivation and Taoist practice were clearly far superior to his, but he was still so vulnerable when facing a saint, and his life was taken in just a few rounds.
Even though this person did not become a saint, he had clearly undergone a complete transformation and severed his last obsession.
Under such circumstances, Maitreya, while envious, also knew he was no match for this man, and it was inevitable that he would withdraw in time.
He wanted to leave, but Guan Kong wasn't prepared to let him go so easily.
Just as he had escaped not far, a large, ancient cauldron, surrounded by five-colored light and imbued with innate energy, suddenly descended from the sky and crashed down upon him.
No sooner said than done.
In just a moment, the precious cauldron was upon them.
But somehow, a mysterious force enveloped him.
Maitreya's fleeing figure suddenly stopped for a moment.
Just as the precious cauldron was about to fall, only inches away from his head, a flash of azure light appeared, and a blue lotus-colored banner suddenly appeared in his hand.
The banner unfurled, emitting clusters of rich celestial light, and countless blue lotuses rose from its surface, sprouting up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Among these blue lotuses, a golden and white relic floats quietly, spinning around and radiating countless dazzling golden rays.
With a muffled boom, the precious cauldron crashed heavily onto the Azure Lotus Banner.
This strike was powerful and heavy, seemingly containing boundless power, making people tremble with fear.
With a crisp "crack," the ten thousand blue lotuses shattered instantly, turning into wisps of blue smoke that drifted away slowly like wisps of smoke.
At the same time, countless fine cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the originally crystal clear relic, as if it would break at any moment.
Nevertheless, the Azure Lotus Banner successfully blocked the bombardment of the treasure cauldron.
Without a doubt, as a sacred treasure, it truly possesses extraordinary mysteries.
The flag trembled slightly and instantly flashed with a seven-colored light.
At the same time, a glimmer of light flashed on the relic, then returned to its original state, and blue lotuses bloomed again on the banner.
Guan Kong could clearly see that although the Azure Lotus Banner had suffered some degree of spiritual damage, it had recovered to its original state in an instant at an astonishing speed.
However, Maitreya knew his own affairs.
Although he was lucky enough to escape this time, he still involuntarily opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He mustered his last bit of strength and quickly grabbed the Azure Lotus Banner.
Before the treasure cauldron could crash down again, he tightly wrapped the Azure Lotus Banner around his body, then transformed into a beam of auspicious light and shot off like lightning toward the end of the starry sky.
In just a moment, his figure disappeared into the depths of the distant starry sky.
Guan Kong, well-versed in the workings of fate, understood that this fiend's lifespan was not yet over, so he did not continue the pursuit. Instead, he retrieved the Creation Cauldron and turned his gaze to the Buddha Dipankara not far away...
What kind of person was Dipankara Buddha? Even before entering the Buddhist order, he was already a master of adapting to changing circumstances and seeking good fortune while avoiding misfortune.
Having just witnessed Maitreya Buddha's tragic end, and then seeing Guan Kong looking over, he was filled with dread.
Without waiting for Guan Kong to make a move, he immediately released a ball of annihilating Buddhist light, which neutralized the attacks of the group of Jie Sect immortals.
Then, with a leap, he jumped out of their encirclement, golden lotuses blooming beneath his feet, and his figure quickly rushed towards the depths of the starry sky.
Seeing this, Guan Kong also did not pursue them, but turned his gaze back to the Medicine Buddha.
This person noticed Guan Kong looking over from afar and felt a pang of anxiety. He immediately broke free from the encirclement of the immortals, grabbed his flower basket, and disappeared into the distance.
The only remaining Buddhist figure in this region is the Buddha.
He was originally locked in a fierce battle with Our Lady of Wudang and Our Lady of Jinling.
These two holy women may not be as accomplished as him, but like him, they also wield sacred implements.
He certainly holds the power over the Seven Treasures Tree and the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit.
The Holy Mother of Wudang also possessed the Qingping Sword, while the Holy Mother of Jinling borrowed the Fishing Drum and the Purple Lightning Hammer from the Tongtian Sect Leader...
