153: Demons and monsters will not cease; Buddha forgives all sins; praises the past and transmits the wisdom of Zen!

Seeing Zhang Yang standing tall and majestic, with the Bitter Sea surging beneath his feet,

and the Cihang phantom shining above his head, creating a profound Realm of its own,

Tuoba Ye's brows furrowed tightly, and an irrepressible surge of irritation erupted in his heart.

He also knew of those Three Seals of Cihang, well aware that their conception was transcendent, standing far above ordinary Martial Skill techniques!

It was enough to ignore most Martial Skills, and could even weaken the power of a Domain!

Beneath their feet, the turbid and deep Bitter Sea Domain spread silently, isolating the inside from the outside.

The surging blood-qi wolf smoke and violent Domain Power around Tuoba Ye's body

crashed into those seemingly calm and waveless Bitter Sea billows, only to feel as if they had plunged into a bottomless abyss.

Ten parts of power were instantly reduced by seventy to eighty percent, and the remaining force felt like it was stuck in a quagmire, unable to move an inch!

His proud and fierce offensive now faced this strange and unpredictable Buddhist Domain,

giving him a stifling sense of having nowhere to exert his strength.

"Not bad!"

Standing on the crest of the Bitter Sea waves, Zhang Yang carefully savored this mysterious state, a satisfied curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

These Three Seals of Cihang were the primary Martial Skill he had painstakingly selected from the Nourishing Heart Lineage's Scripture Depository.

What he valued most about it was precisely this Domain effect that transformed the boundless Bitter Sea into his own Pure Land!

Although it couldn't suppress others, it could weaken the suppression of their Domains!

Looking at it now, the effect was quite good; standing on the crest of the Bitter Sea, Tuoba Ye's Domain suppression was now nearly non-existent to him.

"I can't land a blow! What should I do?!"

Sharp light burst from Tuoba Ye's eyes as he stared fixedly at the unmoving figure atop the Bitter Sea, the veins on his temples faintly throbbing.

The strike he had just delivered with all his might hit the opponent like a gentle breeze over a mountain ridge, failing to move even a corner of his robes!

A sense of unprecedented difficulty surged in his heart.

Just as Tuoba Ye's mind raced, desperately thinking of a way to break the deadlock, Zhang Yang moved!

He slowly pressed his palms together in front of his chest, his movements solemn and dignified, as if carrying a weight of ten thousand tons.

An indescribable and majestic Buddhist resonance erupted from within his body!

"Demons Never End, My Buddha Pardons Sins, Chanting the Ancient and Passing the Present Zen Silent Illumination!"

His clear shout resounded through the tower floor, like the tolling of a Nine Heavens Buddhist bell!

In an instant, the world changed color!

Hundreds of millions of dazzling golden Buddhist lights poured down from the void without warning!

This golden light was pure and grand, possessing the great power to cleanse the Soul and pierce through the netherworld.

Following the golden light was a magnificent and boundless Sanskrit chanting that filled every inch of space!

That sound was not a single one, but as if tens of thousands of Buddhas and countless Bodhisattvas were simultaneously chanting true words,

ancient, deep, solemn, layered upon layered,

with a rhythm that penetrated all things, rolling and echoing continuously throughout the entire world!

Golden points of light fell like sacred rain, gentle yet irresistible,

touching the ground, the tower walls, and all things... in an instant, everything within sight was dyed a brilliant golden color!

It was as if this space had transformed into a corner of the legendary Buddha Kingdom!

Witnessing this world-changing divine scene,

Tuoba Ye's pupils shrank, his hair stood on end, and an unprecedented extreme warning sign shot straight to the top of his head!

Without hesitation, he let out a fierce roar, the secret technique from the Azure Wolf Tower within his body operating frantically,

pure and powerful magic power weaving into several layers of visible crimson barriers,

and even subtle spiritual secret arts guarding his mind,

intending to deathly isolate that pervasive golden light and heart-bewitching Sanskrit chanting from his body!

However, it was all in vain!

That seemingly gentle Buddhist light and ethereal Sanskrit chanting treated the layers of defense he had set up as if they were nothing!

The golden light, like mercury spilling on the ground, penetrated the crimson barriers without hindrance, silently soaking into his limbs and bones;

the Sanskrit chanting even pierced through his eardrums, ignoring his spiritual defense,

like the gentlest yet toughest silk threads, winding and penetrating strand by strand into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness!

"Ugh..."

Tuoba Ye only felt an irresistible sense of peace and weariness instantly sweep over his entire body,

as if a weary traveler who had trekked for thousands upon thousands of years had finally found a home.

His burning Battle Intent was like having a basin of cold spring water poured over it,

with a sizzle, it rapidly cooled and dissipated.

His massive frame, like a deflated skin bag, visibly shrank,

his huge body quickly returning to its ordinary size.

The wild and unyielding fierce light in his eyes was replaced by a sense of blankness and clarity.

After just a moment,

all the violent aura around Tuoba Ye vanished, the Battle Intent on his face completely gone, leaving only a tranquility like waking from a long dream.

His lips moved slightly, and three crystal-clear words escaped his mouth:

"I admit defeat!"

The moment the words fell!

"Dong—!"

A bell rang, echoing through the entire Martial Refining Tower space, announcing the end of this battle.

On the token hanging from Zhang Yang's waist, the numbers changed instantly, finally settling on two eye-catching characters:

[86], [100]!

This proclaimed that he had become the master of this Martial Refining Tower Sub-Tower No. 86, standing at the peak of the hundredth floor!

With this heart-cleansing toll of the bell, the confusion in Tuoba Ye's eyes rapidly receded, and his sanity became instantly clear!

He suddenly looked up at Zhang Yang, who had returned to a state of calm not far away, and endless shock surged in the depths of his heart!

His Azure Wolf Secret Technique!

It was actually completely unable to withstand this inconceivable Power of Deliverance!

That Buddhist light and Sanskrit chanting could actually act directly on the Divine Soul's Origin,

forcibly smoothing out all thoughts of striving for victory in his heart,

making him admit defeat willingly and from the bottom of his heart!

This method was simply terrifying!

"I accept your concession."

Zhang Yang smiled faintly, and his pressed palms slowly separated.

Following the change in his gesture, the dazzling golden light that filled the sky and earth, and the solemn Sanskrit chanting that lingered, vanished without a trace in an instant.

It was as if the world-changing scene just now was nothing more than a dream or a phantom.

"You... are powerful!"

Tuoba Ye remained silent for a long time, his heart filled with mixed emotions, which finally turned into a complex sigh.

He looked directly at Zhang Yang and gave a solemn cupped-fist salute.

No matter how much unwilling or pride he had, at this moment, he had to admit that the strength of the person before him truly transcended his own!

In just two moves!

One defense and one offense, and it had made him, the pride of the Azure Wolf Tower, lose so cleanly and thoroughly, with no room to fight back!

This level of cultivation even far exceeded that of Zen Master Ming Chen from the Three Lives Tower!

In this battle, he, Tuoba Ye, was convinced of his defeat!

"This person has actually cultivated the Three Seals of Cihang to the Realm of flawless Perfection?! It's simply... unbelievable!"

Before the battle-viewing light screen,

Zen Master Ming Chen's eyes were wide open, his face filled with incredible shock as he unconsciously murmured in a low voice.

As a person of the Three Lives Tower, he knew well how difficult and obscure the cultivation of these Three Seals of Cihang was!

Without top-tier Comprehension Ability and deep Buddhist root-bones, it was extremely difficult to even glimpse its mysteries,

let alone polish it to such a pinnacle Perfection Realm of transforming the Bitter Sea into a Pure Land!

What kind of transparent understanding of Buddhist principles, space, and the essence of power did this require?

Zen Master Ming Chen focused his gaze on Zhang Yang's unfamiliar young face in the light screen,

his mind quickly scanning through all known elite Buddhist Disciple images within the Three Lives Tower,

but he could not find a matching figure no matter what.

A deep sense of doubt lingered in his heart:

"Could it be... he really isn't a member of our Three Lives Tower?"

"Perhaps... I can find an Opportunity after the battle to ask him for some guidance!"

Zen Master Ming Chen's gaze was firmly locked on the calm and composed figure in the light screen, having already made a plan in his heart.

He had also spent a great deal of effort to comprehend these Three Seals of Cihang, but had been stuck at the Minor Achievement level for many years, unable to make further progress.

Now that he had encountered a genius who had cultivated it to the Perfection Realm, how could he miss such an Opportunity?

"He won! He actually won! Tuoba Ye... admitted defeat on his own!"

"Heavens! Who on earth is this person? He's outrageously strong!"

Among the crowd watching the battle, exclamations and uproars broke out one after another.

Witnessing the Azure Wolf Tower standout Tuoba Ye, known for his ferocity and wildness,

being directly 'delivered' by the opponent with such mysterious and unpredictable methods, eliminating all Battle Intent and actively admitting defeat!

The impact of this scene far exceeded that of ordinary violent crushing,

carrying a kind of weirdness and power that made the Soul tremble!

"Incredible! Brother Zhang Yang! You truly hide your light under a bushel!"

Seeing this, Ji Changfeng couldn't help but clap his hands in praise, sharp light flashing in his eyes.

He had also heard of the fame and the difficulty of cultivating the Three Seals of Cihang.

The Buddhist principles and spatial Profound Truths contained in this seal technique were extremely subtle and mysterious,

and even in a Buddhist Holy Land like the Three Lives Tower, very few could truly achieve success in its practice.

Who would have thought that this Zhang Yang from the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion

could actually bring such a profound Buddhist ultimate skill to the Realm of Perfection!

"With Zhang's level of Buddhist cultivation, if he were willing to enter the Three Lives Tower, he would surely be a Buddha Son with a boundless future!"

Ji Changfeng sighed from the bottom of his heart toward the figure in the light screen.

On the hundredth floor of Martial Refining Tower Sub-Tower No. 86, Tuoba Ye's figure slowly dissipated in a ripple of space.

Before long, his tall figure appeared in the giant teleportation array outside the Martial Refining Tower.

With a gloomy face, he paid the required bai yang pills, the array patterns lit up, and he prepared to teleport back to the Azure Wolf Tower Headquarters.

"Damn it! When I get back this time, I must work hard to find a way to deal with the Martial Skills of these bald donkeys!"

Just as the teleportation light was about to submerge him, Tuoba Ye suddenly turned his head,

glared fiercely at the towering Martial Refining Tower, and made a silent vow in his heart.

Even if he was convinced of his defeat, a loss was still a loss, especially one to the Buddhist methods he loathed the most!

If he had cultivated the Imperial World Shocking Heaven Treasure Codex to the Perfection Realm and integrated it into himself!

Or even cultivated some other Martial Skills of the Azure Wolf Tower to the Perfection Realm,

then when he fought Zhang Yang, he wouldn't have been delivered and lost all Battle Intent in just two moves!

At the peak of Martial Refining Tower Sub-Tower No. 86.

After defeating Tuoba Ye and winning the title of Tower Master, Zhang Yang did not leave,

but instead began to Cultivate a new Martial Skill.

After all, he had to defend the sub-tower for a month to get the spirit dividing flower,

and during this time, Zhang Yang had nothing else to do, so he might as well Cultivate Martial Skills.

After Zhang Yang defeated Tuoba Ye and became the master of Sub-Tower No. 86,

the recording of his battle with Tuoba Ye appeared in various places across the Central Continent.

As these recordings spread, the progress of the name stone on Zhang Yang's main body began to skyrocket!

It was already almost completely turned blue!

"Fortunately, the appearance of my earth element clone is different from my main body, and the Martial Refining Tower doesn't require one to provide their real name!"

Zhang Yang controlling the earth element clone to challenge the Martial Refining Tower was, of course, a prepared move,

with a different appearance and name from his main body; the only leak was when he chatted with Ji Changfeng!

"I didn't expect that even if it's not the real name, it can still promote the evolution of the name stone!"

"If the speed is still not fast enough later, should I call all the five elements clones and my main body to challenge the Martial Refining Tower? Occupy six sub-towers, or even the main tower?"

Zhang Yang thought to himself.

With a shift in thought, Zhang Yang sank most of his mind back into his main body on Qingling Peak,

leaving only a sliver of clear consciousness to maintain the earth element clone in the tower, waiting for subsequent challengers to arrive.

"The power of a Domain is indeed extraordinary!"

On Qingling Peak, Zhang Yang's main body stopped Cultivating his Body Refining Cultivation Techniques.

Having personally experienced the power of a half-finished Domain, Zhang Yang currently felt good!

Although the power of a Domain was strong, it didn't pose much of a threat to the current Zhang Yang.

Besides the main effect of suppressing strength, a Domain

was also filled with the Domain master's own unique understanding of Laws, making it impossible for others to exert their full strength within it.

As for Zhang Yang, he could rapidly adapt within someone else's Domain!

Even if it was a Venerable King Realm expert, as long as they couldn't insta-kill him, he could rapidly adapt!

And currently, Zhang Yang's Physical Body strength had already reached the limit of the Venerable King Realm.

An ordinary Venerable King Realm ninth-level expert, even with Domain suppression, would find it very difficult to insta-kill Zhang Yang!

"However! I still need to increase my Law comprehension to the ninth level as soon as possible!"

"When the time comes to Breakthrough to the Divine Ruins Realm and possess my own Domain, I won't need to rely on methods like the Three Seals of Cihang anymore!"

Zhang Yang shook his head slightly and continued to Cultivate Body Refining-type Cultivation Techniques!"}],
