149: Ziguang Pavilion! The Bright King descends to earth! Buddha has mercy on all living beings!

"Come! Let me see just how powerful the Three Lives Tower's Immovable Wisdom King Body truly is!"

A wild, rebellious smile played on Tuoba Ye's lips as Battle Intent surged around him.

The prestige of the Azure Wolf Tower was certainly not for show!

Outside Sub-Tower No. 86, more and more spectators gathered, drawn by the news.

With eyes like torches, they focused on the hundred-story tower, holding their breath in anticipation of this clash between dragon and tiger.

Boom!

A vast and fierce aura suddenly exploded from within Tuoba Ye!

The void above his head twisted as an azure wolf totem, roaring to the heavens, solidified into physical form and manifested violently!

A formless yet mountain-heavy Domain Power spread out accordingly,

instantly enveloping the entire battle stage. The air solidified, letting out a groan as it buckled under the weight.

At the other end of the stage, Zen Master Ming Chen looked solemn and dignified, still wearing that smile of compassion for all living beings.

"Amitabha!"

The Buddhist chant was clear and melodious, like a morning bell or evening drum cleansing the dust from the heart.

In an instant, dazzling golden Buddha light erupted from his body, immediately dispelling the surrounding ferocity!

An immovable wisdom king dharma image, eyes wide with wrath yet containing immeasurable compassion,

solemnly coalesced in the void above his head, its brilliant golden glow illuminating everything!

A golden Buddha-Realm Domain spread out, holy, vast, and inviolable,

actually suppressing Tuoba Ye's malevolent Azure Wolf Domain and forcing it back step by step!

"What a powerful Domain! The Azure Wolf Tower and Three Lives Tower are truly extraordinary! It seems our Purple Light Pavilion still doesn't measure up to these two major powers!"

Not far from Zhang Yang, a distinguished-looking young man couldn't hide his shock and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Purple Light Pavilion?"

Hearing this name, Zhang Yang's heart skipped a beat.

He remembered that when Senior Brother Ling Yue first arrived in the Central Province, he seemed to have chosen the Purple Light Pavilion's reception portal.

However, there had been no news since, and he didn't know where he had been teleported.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang stepped toward the young man,

intending to inquire about the mysteries of the Purple Light Pavilion's reception portal, hoping to find a trace of Senior Brother Ling Yue.

"Brother, I am Zhang Yang, a Disciple of the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion's Nourishing Heart Lineage. Might I ask what is so mysterious about the Domains these two are displaying?"

Zhang Yang approached, cupped his fists in greeting, and spoke modestly.

"Oh? A talented student from the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion?"

The young man looked Zhang Yang over briefly upon hearing him, then nodded with a smile.

"Your Myriad Manifestations Pavilion usually doesn't pay attention to this, so it's normal that you wouldn't know."

He pointed toward the two towering dharma images on the stage, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

"Look closely at that azure wolf totem and the immovable wisdom king dharma image! These two are the 'Gods' contained within their respective Domains!"

"Once a Domain contains a God, its power becomes as different from an ordinary Domain as clouds are from mud!"

"The suppression power increases by more than tenfold! Even against the Domain pressure of a Venerable King Realm powerhouse, they can hold their own without falling behind!"

"Such deities can only be molded by peerless masters! They must have been forged by the unparalleled powerhouses of the Azure Wolf Tower and Three Lives Tower over endless years, gathering massive amounts of faith and Power Of Will through heavenly means. They contain infinite mysteries and extraordinary uses."

"The two before us are merely projection Clones of the original True God, yet they are enough to significantly boost the Domain Power of their Prodigy Disciples! This allows them to seize the initiative and remain invincible in Divine Ruins Realm duels, even against opponents who also possess Domains!"

The youth spoke eloquently, clearing the fog for Zhang Yang.

After finishing, he cupped his fists slightly with a warm smile.

"I am Ji Changfeng of the Purple Light Pavilion. May I ask for your name, brother?"

"So it is Brother Changfeng! I am Zhang Yang of the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion's Nourishing Heart Lineage. It is a pleasure!" Zhang Yang also returned the greeting.

Ji Changfeng nodded in acknowledgment.

Afterward, the two stood side by side, watching the earth-shattering battle between Tuoba Ye and Zen Master Ming Chen with burning gazes,

occasionally exchanging their insights in low voices.

Ji Changfeng's insights into the Dao of Domains were indeed far superior to Zhang Yang's.

However, when it came to the essentials of the Martial Skills the two were using on the field,

Zhang Yang's vision and knowledge showed their prowess, secretly shocking Ji Changfeng.

Tuoba Ye used the 'Tuoye Azure Wolf Strength,' his punches like wolves racing across the wilderness, his Qi tearing through the sky.

Zhang Yang saw through it in a single glance, spotting the essence of several Profound Truths from the Imperial World Shocking Heaven Treasure Codex hidden within!

As for the various Buddhist Martial Skills Zen Master Ming Chen used with ease, Zhang Yang could also identify traces of many Cultivation Techniques he had once Cultivated to Perfection.

Although the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion did not have the true inheritance of the Immovable Wisdom King Body, it did have records of other famous Body Refining methods from the Three Lives Tower.

To push the Body Scripture to its limit, Zhang Yang had long since comprehended all these miraculous Body Refining techniques and fused them into one.

Thus, the Profound Truths of the techniques Zen Master Ming Chen displayed in every Move were nothing but familiar sights to his eyes.

Ji Changfeng watched from the side, clicking his tongue in wonder, his face full of surprise.

Although he also recognized the names of the Martial Skills the two were using, he only had a superficial understanding,

far from Zhang Yang's ability to see everything clearly and provide such deep analysis!

The fierce battle reached a fever pitch. Tuoba Ye and Zen Master Ming Chen fought intensely, Moves and counter-Moves flying as the wind howled,

causing the crowd on the viewing platforms to surge, with cheers and gasps of admiration echoing endlessly.

The two were locked in a stalemate.

In terms of Physical Body strength, although Tuoba Ye was known for his brutality,

Zen Master Ming Chen, who Cultivated the Immovable Wisdom King Body, was like an indestructible Vajra, not falling behind in the slightest!

Tuoba Ye's punches were like the strikes of a prehistoric Vicious Beast, his fist-winds carrying the vast wildness of the Southern Barrens,

unparalleled in their violence, as if they wanted to blast everything before him into dust with celestial-shaking ferocity!

Zen Master Ming Chen, on the other hand, brushed his palms like he was plucking flowers. As his palm shadows fluttered, specks of golden light fell like heavenly blossoms,

and wherever they passed, the violent fluctuations of force were silently smoothed away.

Furthermore, there was an indescribable Zen intent hidden within,

which could cause the target to involuntarily calm their mind, or even have their Battle Intent fade and their will to fight dissolve!

The more they fought, the more the nameless fire of irritation in Tuoba Ye's heart burned with unbearable intensity.

The Martial Skills of the Azure Wolf Tower required one to push their Battle Intent to the Peak to unleash their ultimate power.

But this Zen Master Ming Chen's golden light was like maggots on a bone, seeping in thread by thread and constantly wearing down his Battle Intent.

Even though he operated secret methods to resist with all his might, he could not completely block out this bizarre influence.

Fighting this monk made him feel like he was stuck in a quagmire, incredibly frustrated and driven to the brink of madness!

After a full two hours of fierce fighting, Tuoba Ye's face was distorted and his eyes were bloodshot,

the malevolence in his chest churning, nearly ready to explode!

In contrast, Zen Master Ming Chen still acted as if he were strolling through a courtyard, a compassionate smile on his face,

his Moves relaxed and natural as golden Buddha light fell like a gentle drizzle, nourishing things silently.

"Damn it! You bald donkey, I really want to beat you to death!"

Tuoba Ye gave a wild roar and threw a punch with all his strength, using the momentum to retreat several hundred yards and create distance.

"One Move! Let's settle this!"

He roared sharply, forcibly activating a trump card secret technique to temporarily expel that annoying golden light's influence from his Sea of Consciousness.

In an instant, a violent Battle Intent, capable of boiling the sea and burning the heavens, soared from his body without any reservation!

"Tuoye Azure Wolf Strength: Astral Transformation - Azure Wolf - Heaven-Howling Art!"

Tuoba Ye's angry shout shook the sky as he forcibly channeled all the energy in his body into this final Move.

Dazzling light erupted from around him, and he seemed to transform into a burning star!

Witnessing the gathering of this Move, the interest in Zhang Yang's eyes grew even stronger.

He could clearly sense that the core framework of this Move

was derived from the second volume of the Imperial World Shocking Heaven Treasure Codex,

a peerless technique within the Astral Transformation!

This was Tuoba Ye's ultimate killing blow!

As soon as the Move was initiated, the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi for ten thousand miles rushed back and converged like a hundred rivers returning to the sea!

In an instant, the clouds changed color, and the bright, clear sky suddenly turned as dark as night.

However, the darkness was not empty; in its place were endless flickering points of starlight, densely packed and filling the firmament!

As the starlight from across the sky fell like a waterfall and surged into Tuoba Ye's body,

his aura climbed steadily before the horrified eyes of the crowd, approaching a terrifying critical point!

"Roar—!"

Tuoba Ye turned into a streak of light that tore through the void, shrouded in boundless starlight as he charged toward Zen Master Ming Chen!

The gathered starlight suddenly expanded and twisted, finally condensing into a star-light azure wolf of peerless ferocity!

The giant wolf let out a silent roar to the heavens, opening a pure white maw that seemed capable of swallowing the sun and moon,

and with the momentum to crush the stars, it bit down hard toward Zen Master Ming Chen!

On the other side,

facing this world-destroying strike, Zen Master Ming Chen's expression remained as calm as a deep well, the compassionate smile on his face undiminished.

He slowly pressed his palms together, his appearance becoming even more solemn.

"Excellent. This monk shall experience your high-level Move."

"Wisdom King Descends: Buddha's Pity for All Living Beings!"

Before the Zen voice even faded, a sudden change occurred!

A ten-thousand-foot rain of golden light poured down from the Nine Heavens without warning, like a celestial river hanging upside down!

The vast and boundless golden Buddha light instantly condensed,

and an immovable wisdom king dharma image, standing tall between heaven and earth and radiating immeasurable majesty, suddenly manifested behind Zen Master Ming Chen.

Its form was so solid and its pressure so terrifying that it far exceeded the phantom in the Domain from before!

This descended Wisdom King actually merged with the Wisdom King deity in the Domain in an instant, its power skyrocketing!

On the face of the descended Wisdom King, with its wide, angry eyes, a compassionate smile of pity for the world suddenly appeared.

The joined palms suddenly separated. The left palm was held upright before the chest in a mysterious seal,

while the right palm slowly rose—seemingly slow but actually fast—carrying a grand will that was irresistible and capable of suppressing ten thousand demons,

and pushed out flatly toward the pouncing star-light giant wolf!

Boom—Hum!!!

The Buddha light first appeared! Golden light split the sky!

In an instant, a beam of golden Buddha light, pure and brilliant to the extreme,

like the first ray of divine dawn at the creation of the world,

violently tore through the curtain of the star-filled night that Tuoba Ye had condensed!

Wherever the Buddha light passed, the starlight melted like ice and snow!

The Wisdom King's giant golden right palm, which contained the boundless power of the Buddhist Dharma,

held the roaring and biting star-light azure wolf firmly in place with incomparable precision!

No matter how the giant wolf struggled and roared, or how the starlight impacted and exploded, they could not budge that golden Buddha palm in the slightest!

Boom!!!

A thunderous sound that shook the universe exploded!

The Wisdom King's right palm suddenly pressed down!

An irresistible Buddha Power poured out, and the seemingly invincible, massive star-light azure wolf

shattered inch by inch like glass, wailing as it turned into a sky full of light fragments and dissipated into nothingness!

As the Wisdom King Incarnation withdrew the golden Buddha palm that was enough to suppress mountains and rivers,

Tuoba Ye, who was caught in the aftershocks below, felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He spat out a large mouthful of bright red blood with a "poof,"

his face instantly turning as pale as gold leaf, his aura withering to the extreme.

He only held himself up by an unyielding will, his fists still stubbornly pointing toward the sky.

The last bit of Battle Intent in his eyes was like a candle in the wind, yet it never went out.

"Amitabha. It seems that this time, this monk has won by half a step."

Zen Master Ming Chen's voice was still calm.

With a thought, the Wisdom King Incarnation that stood between heaven and earth suddenly turned into a sky full of soft golden light points,

falling like spring rain and merging into Tuoba Ye's body.

Tuoba Ye felt a warm and vast power surge into his limbs and bones,

and his originally heavily injured body began to recover its vitality at an astonishing speed.

Feeling the blood and Qi quickly calming within him, he glared fiercely at Zen Master Ming Chen, the ferocity in his eyes not yet extinguished.

"You won! Bald donkey! Remember this! Sooner or later, I'll return this palm strike!"

After dropping these harsh words, Tuoba Ye's figure turned into a streak of light and disappeared directly into the space of the hundred-story sub-tower.

Zen Master Ming Chen looked in the direction where Tuoba Ye had disappeared and shook his head slightly.

He recited a Buddhist name, and his figure also gradually faded away, vanishing without a trace.
