681: Chapter 681 Slaying the Bodhisattva, Killing the Holy Son

"I see you guys are truly hungry; you'll eat anything!"

Hun Tiandi rebuked with extreme malice.

"You seek death!" The Old Woman Bodhisattva’s eyes widened in anger, and with a boom, the earth cracked open as a pillar of lava, as thick as a thousand-year-old tree, erupted from underground.

Clearly, she intended to burn Hun Tiandi alive.

"Hmph!" Suddenly, Hun Tiandi snorted coldly. The Soul Sword within his Sea of Consciousness shuddered violently and poured out.

It transformed into a sharp pillar of Sword Qi, extinguishing the scorching lava pillar.

Clang!

The Soul Sword's Innate Sword Intent let out a furious roar. The forcefully erupted sword strike seemed to cause countless cracks to appear in the Soul illusion.

A massive gap began to spread; one sword strike to open the heavens and earth.

The Old Woman Bodhisattva's Soul illusion was an incredibly sturdy illusionary Hell, where countless malevolent ghosts roamed, appearing extremely terrifying.

This was the Soul power of a Dou Zun powerhouse, vast and boundless.

Had Hun Tiandi's Soul not been incredibly powerful, coupled with the lethality of his Soul Weapon Art, he might not have even had the ability to fight back.

If it were two Dou Zun powerhouses, they could naturally resist each other with Soul power, but if one side had not reached the Dou Zun level...

They would definitely be suppressed to death by the Dou Zun powerhouse.

Legend has it that a Dou Zun powerhouse can kill someone with a cultivation level lower than the Dou Zun rank with just a glance; this is the terrifying aspect of a Dou Zun powerhouse.

Next is the severing of the Soul.

As long as the Soul is severed and the spirit is annihilated, the opponent is finished.

Without exception, on the Central Plains, a Dou Zun powerhouse represents absolute strength and is the backbone of any power.

Unlike those at the Dou Zong level, Hun Tiandi did not die after being pulled into the Soul illusion by the Old Woman Bodhisattva.

This caused a trace of alarm to arise in the Old Woman Bodhisattva's heart.

According to Cang Chengjun's intelligence, Hun Tiandi's strength had reached the Nine-Star Dou Zong level.

But unfortunately, after returning to the Lingxiao Heavenly Court, Hun Tiandi had entered seclusion and achieved a Breakthrough from the Dou Zong Peak to the Dou Zun rank.

One-Star Dou Zun!

After the Soul illusion was slashed open, a shade of pallor appeared on the Old Woman Bodhisattva's face.

"This is..." The Old Woman Bodhisattva gazed at the Soul Sword that reached the heavens and earth, emitting a terrifying Innate Sword Intent.

"What is this thing? How is it possible?"

"At such an age, his Soul Realm has reached such a level, and how can he have such a terrifying sword?"

"Jie jie jie, the sword that will take your life!" Hun Tiandi snorted coldly.

Clang!

Immediately, the Soul Sword soared into the sky, and countless strands of Sword Intent rose up, transforming into a Sword Dragon that charged at the massive gap.

Suddenly, the Soul illusion rippled, seemingly unable to withstand the destruction of the Innate Sword Intent.

"No..."

The Old Woman Bodhisattva's face was full of terror as she waved her hand, sending countless streams of lava charging toward Hun Tiandi.

"Soul Severing!"

Hun Tiandi gave an evil laugh and, without wasting words, directly activated the Soul Weapon Art. Countless strands of Sword Intent condensed onto the Soul Sword, making its light dazzle.

With a strike from the sky, the surging Sword Qi instantly tore through the lava, which was the foundation of the Old Woman Bodhisattva.

Sizzle...

The Soul illusion shattered, the Soul Origin was severed, and countless Soul Origin fragments were brought back into the Soul space by the Soul Sword.

As the God Refining Art operated, refining the Soul Origin fragments, streams of pure Origin Soul Qi were absorbed by the Soul Sword, strengthening it.

The Old Woman Bodhisattva only felt a surge of weakness in her Soul power.

"What kind of disaster star have I provoked?"

Anxiety filled the Old Woman Bodhisattva's eyes, and then a Three-Grade Golden Lotus appeared above her head, a treasure previously bestowed by the Guiyuan Buddha.

As the Three-Grade Golden Lotus appeared, it erupted with countless golden rays. The Buddha's light shone everywhere, causing the temperature of the collapsing Soul space to stabilize.

Even the Soul Sword's Innate Sword Intent could no longer destroy the space.

Phew! Seeing this, the Old Woman Bodhisattva let out a soft sigh of relief.

But in the next moment, from the depths of Hun Tiandi's Soul, a verdant and translucent branch emerged like a Nine Serene Earth Nether Python, displaying extreme spirituality.

It coiled toward the Three-Grade Golden Lotus.

Seeing this, the Old Woman Bodhisattva's expression froze as if she had thought of something, and a cold light flickered in the depths of her eyes.

"Hmph, you want to seize the Three-Grade Golden Lotus? Then I shall transcend you!"

She then frantically activated the Three-Grade Golden Lotus, which emitted countless golden rays and Buddhist chants, aimed directly at that branch.

Buzz!

With a look of madness on her face, she activated the golden lotus, while Hun Tiandi looked on with a face full of surprise.

"You want to transcend a branch of the Bodhi Ancient Tree? Are you testing a Buddhist treasure?"

Hun Tiandi's expression became increasingly strange. It was like the flood flooding the Dragon King's temple; she really didn't know who was who!

Not in the least bit worried, the Bodhi branch greedily absorbed the golden light of the lotus. The Bodhi Ancient Tree in the Nether Small World seemed to have received nourishment.

It began to grow frantically, its branches becoming lush.

Two hundred feet... four hundred feet... eight hundred feet... one thousand feet...

The Old Woman Bodhisattva became more and more anxious as the Dou Qi in her body was frantically consumed. Activating such a Golden Lotus Magic Treasure was something even a Dou Zun powerhouse could hardly endure.

"How is it possible? What is this thing?"

An hour later, the Old Woman Bodhisattva became numb. Let it all be destroyed! Why was it like this?

The light of the Three-Grade Golden Lotus was swallowed and absorbed, and the Old Woman Bodhisattva seemed unable to provide any more energy. Just as she was lost in thought...

Buzz!

The Bodhi branch suddenly pulled, and the Three-Grade Golden Lotus abruptly disappeared.

"No..."

With a trace of frenzy, she realized this was something she had never encountered before. The Three-Grade Golden Lotus was gone?

Clang!

Hun Tiandi seized the opportunity, and the Soul Sword descended, destroying the Old Woman Bodhisattva's Soul Origin in one strike.

The Origin Soul Qi fragments were absorbed and refined completely.

In the outside world, everyone immediately understood when the Old Woman Bodhisattva pulled Hun Tiandi into the Soul illusion.

While Mr. Corpse Soul was anxious, the four Arhats and Cang Chengjun on the opposite side were extremely happy.

Several hours in the Soul illusion were but a few breaths in the outside world.

Pfft...

While the four Arhats and Cang Chengjun were gloating, thinking it would be too simple for the Old Woman Bodhisattva to deal with a mere Nine-Star Dou Zong.

Ten breaths later, the Old Woman Bodhisattva spat out blood. Her face was pale, and her spirit was withered, as if she might die at any moment.

"Run!" The Old Woman Bodhisattva only managed to spit out these two words before her body slumped, and she breathed her last.

"Run? The Bodhisattva actually said to run? She failed?"

"How is that possible? She is a Bodhisattva, a Dou Zun powerhouse!"

Cang Chengjun felt a chill in his heart and turned to flee, pushing his speed to the limit. His heart was collapsing; this guy was truly a Prodigy.

Ignoring the four Arhats entirely, his figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.

Hun Tiandi watched coldly; he knew that Cang Chengjun could not escape.

Boom!

In the distance, a roar echoed in the sky, and a white-robed figure was sent flying back. It was exactly the Holy Son of Cangtian, Cang Chengjun.

The ones who had just attacked were two humanoid weapons wrapped in white cloth.

They were Mr. Corpse Soul's two Dou Zun-level zombies!

Kill!

General Ye Wudi commanded the army, and immediately, Qi-Breaking Arrows rose into the sky like raindrops.

Liu Ling and Yan Xing pounced forward to battle the four Arhats, leaving none alive.

Boom...

The two zombies appeared in front of Cang Chengjun and threw their fists out with a boom, striking his chest. Blood splattered, and the battle was incredibly brutal.

The surging Dou Qi flowed and collided, causing the surrounding space to ripple with fluctuations, as violent air currents surged in all directions.

This was the combat power of a Dou Zun powerhouse; every move triggered changes in the heavens and earth.

"Cang Chengjun, today is the day you die!"

Hun Tiandi sneered.

He abruptly drew a long saber, and the Dou Qi within his body surged out. Lightning flashed, appearing like countless electric Dragons roaming and surging.

"Heavenly Law, Wind Tear!"

Hun Tiandi swung his saber, and a massive Saber Qi reversed, erupting from the tip of the blade to form a bizarre wind that tore toward both sides.

As the Saber Qi was spat out, the air was frantically torn apart like cotton cloth.

"With just your Nine-Star Dou Zong strength? If you hadn't cheated back then using that eerie jade zither, would this Saint have lost to you?"

Seeing Hun Tiandi attack, a trace of disdain appeared on Cang Chengjun's handsome face.

With a flip of his palm, a long sword appeared in his hand. Pale golden Dou Qi surged out, and he held the long sword in front of him.

"Bodhisattva Seal!"

With a low shout, he held the long sword high toward the sky, and a golden Wan Buddha Seal appeared at the tip of the sword, spinning.

It emitted Buddhist chants and Zen singing, carrying a light that could transcend all evil.

He suddenly swung the long sword, and the golden Wan Buddha Seal flew out through the air, meeting the Saber Qi halfway.

They collided violently, the overbearing Saber Qi and the terrifying energy tearing through everything.

The golden Buddha seal spun, and energies of different attributes crushed, swallowed, and collided with each other...

"You're not qualified to kill me!"

Cang Chengjun said with extreme arrogance.

"Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method, Sixth Layer!"

"Myriad Layer Slash!"

Hun Tiandi's eyes turned cold, and the power within his body surged. He forcefully swung his saber once more. This strike was even stronger and more overbearing than the previous one!

Crack!

The golden Buddha seal could not withstand this overbearing saber force. With a crack, countless fissures appeared, and it exploded with a boom.

It transformed into countless golden points of light, scattering with the wind.

Clang!

Cang Chengjun had no time to dodge. The Wind Tear saber force slammed into his chest, his clothes exploded, revealing a pale golden body.

It seemed to be a Body Refining technique from the Cangtian Holy Land!

Pfft!

The saber force entered his body, and his fragile organs and Meridians were instantly torn apart from the inside out. Blood splattered, and Cang Chengjun spat out a mouthful of blood.

His finger trembled as he pointed at Hun Tiandi.

"You... are not a Dou Zong?" After saying that, he knelt on the ground, his eyes wide with anger.

"Who told you I was a Dou Zong!" Hun Tiandi sneered, and with one strike, he finished off Cang Chengjun.

He had executed the Holy Son of Cangtian!

With everyone's cooperation, the four Arhats were also completely executed. In this battle, all five powerful figures led by the Old Woman Bodhisattva had fallen.

Jinchan Buddha's scheme had failed!

With a thought, Hun Tiandi's Soul Sword emerged, absorbing the Soul Origin fragments of Cang Chengjun and the four Arhats, refining them into pure Origin Soul Qi to strengthen himself.

He was not far from his next Soul Breakthrough!
