Of course, he didn't expect to be able to defeat Lu Li!
After all, Lu Li has now achieved physical sainthood, while he is just a projection of his will. Being able to do this much is already considered to have done his best!
“Amitabha! Fellow Daoist, how about we make a deal?” Shakyamuni asked in a deep voice.
"A deal? I have nothing to talk to you about!"
Lu Li said disdainfully, "Today, no one can save the Dragon Subduer and Tiger Tamer!"
"Since that's the case, then this humble monk will have to exchange a few blows with you, fellow Daoist!" Shakyamuni snorted coldly, and then a buzzing sound resounded throughout the heavens!
"A battle in the void!" Lu Li took a step forward and disappeared completely.
The next second, Lu Li stood proudly in the void.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering in the wind, his gaze sweeping across the land, a wicked smile playing on his lips, giving off an air of untamed arrogance.
Shakyamuni Buddha stood opposite him, and a projection of his will appeared.
However, compared to Lu Li, the projection of Shakyamuni's will appeared much dimmer, like a flickering candle in the wind.
"Amitabha!" Shakyamuni proclaimed the Buddha's name, a compassionate expression appearing on his face. He clasped his hands together and uttered the mantra. With a "hum," countless Buddhist characters flew out of his mouth, instantly filling the surrounding void.
With a "whoosh," the Buddhist characters formed a phantom image of a Buddha, towering into the sky and sitting cross-legged in the void, exuding an aura of solemnity, reverence, and vastness, as if he were a deity who ruled over all worlds.
An invisible pressure swept across the area, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.
"Wow~ This bald monk is so powerful!"
Upon seeing this phantom, Sun Wukong couldn't help but gasp.
Even though it was just a wisp of will, it still possessed destructive power, posing a great threat to Sun Wukong. He had no doubt that this phantom could easily annihilate him.
"Uncle-Master! Can Master... do it?" Sun Wukong couldn't help but mutter.
"Nonsense, your master achieved sainthood through physical cultivation!" Devouring Rat curled its lip.
All eyes were on Lu Li, wanting to see how he would handle the situation and whether he could defeat this legendary Buddhist master.
Lu Li squinted, staring at the illusory image of Shakyamuni's will. After a moment, he grinned.
boom!
The next moment, Lu Li immediately formed a hand seal and chanted: 'Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!'
Then, a golden arrow, mixed with black flames, shot towards Shakyamuni!
"call out--"
The arrow pierced the sky, rapidly approaching with terrifying power, as if it could pierce through everything.
"Hmm? This aura..."
Upon noticing the arrow, Shakyamuni was slightly taken aback and showed a look of surprise.
Then, his gaze fell on the arrow, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
He discovered that the arrow contained extremely terrifying energy, and that terrifying destructive power made him feel a great danger.
"Chaotic Black Flame!"
"boom!"
With a loud explosion, the arrow struck the illusory image of Buddha, bursting forth with dazzling golden light that illuminated the void, as blinding as the blazing sun and as radiant as a cascading galaxy.
In an instant, the illusory image of Buddha shattered inch by inch, transforming into countless Buddhist characters that danced in the void.
This scene shocked everyone.
Even Shakyamuni Buddha couldn't withstand Lu Li's attack?
Could it be that Shakyamuni was defeated?
This result left everyone stunned and somewhat incredulous.
This is Shakyamuni, the sage of the Western Paradise!
Although it is only a projection of a will, its strength is certainly far inferior to that of the real Shakyamuni, but it is still a quasi-saint!
However……
They couldn't even stop Lu Li's attack!
The power of a single arrow is devastating!
"Not bad, that's more interesting." Shakyamuni exclaimed, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, he extended his right hand and softly uttered, "A world in the palm of your hand!"
In an instant, the void trembled, and an enormous Buddha's hand suddenly emerged from the void, obscuring half the sky and covering the entire void, enveloping Lu Li within the palm print's range!
"Boom!"
When the Buddha's hand was pressed down, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and everything crumbled.
"Snap!"
The void shattered, and the space around Lu Li began to collapse. Endless spatial turbulence surged in, threatening to tear Lu Li to dust!
"snort!"
Lu Li's eyes flashed with cold light as he coldly watched the Buddha's hand fall. He clenched his fist and suddenly threw a heavy punch forward.
"Thump!"
A muffled clap of thunder sounded.
The fist and the Buddha's hand collided fiercely, creating shockwaves that shook the entire space violently, as if unable to withstand such terrifying power.
However, the next moment, endless spatial turbulence surged forth.
Despite being enveloped by the spatial turbulence, Lu Li remained completely still, letting the turbulence wash over his body without being able to budge him in the slightest.
"Huh?" Shakyamuni exclaimed softly.
The strength that Lu Li displayed exceeded his expectations.
Not only that, but more importantly, Lu Li's fist contained a strange energy that could actually resist his Buddhist power, and even destroy it!
"This guy is actually pretty good!"
A hint of solemnity flashed in Shakyamuni's eyes as he raised his hand again to cast a spell: "Great Sumeru Finger!"
In an instant, his finger grew several times larger, transforming into a massive cylinder that pressed down on Lu Li with unparalleled hardness and immense power capable of crushing everything!
Lu Li's expression remained unchanged, still perfectly calm, as he slowly clenched his fist: "First move, Shattering Heaven and Earth Palm!"
boom!
A terrifying wave emanated from his body, his palm strikes were overwhelming, like the collapse of the sky or a tsunami, invincible and unstoppable.
When Lu Li's palm struck the Buddha's finger, a black lotus flower suddenly emerged from his palm, rapidly enlarging until it completely covered the Buddha's finger!
"Sizzle~"
The next second, the lotus bloomed!
The Buddha's finger within the lotus was directly engulfed by the black flames. In the blink of an eye, the Buddha's finger disappeared completely, vanishing into nothingness!
"What?" Shakyamuni frowned, his expression becoming more serious.
The devouring power of the Chaos Black Lotus, with its unexpected sneak attack, caught him somewhat off guard!
Seeing this, Lu Li smiled calmly and continued to make moves.
His legs were slightly bent, his body arched upwards like a bow ready to be drawn, his right arm was raised, his five fingers were clenched into a fist, all his strength was poured into his fist, and then he threw a punch hard!
"Second move, Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!"
This punch was incredibly fierce and domineering, containing unparalleled power. As the punch was unleashed, countless ancient symbols appeared in the void, resembling the symbols of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, or the divine chains of order of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
The Six Paths Reincarnation Fist was unleashed, and a hexagonal rune sphere appeared in the void. At the center of this sphere was a pitch-black hole, deep and dark, like a cosmic abyss, exuding a sense of deathly stillness.
As the fist slammed into the hexagonal rune sphere, wisps of grayish-white mist shot out, like smoke and haze, spreading all around.
