679: Dangerous electromagnetic gun

Hongjun never expected that the so-called Heaven-Reaching Law Ksitigarbha spoke of would actually look like this!

In the world where Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha resides, Earth is heaven, is earth, and is the core of the Universe. The reason he made his great vow was to save all living beings in the world, and the so-called Heaven-Reaching is to connect his own power with the power of the entire Earth, capable of unleashing the might of heaven and earth!

In other words, Hongjun is currently opposing the entire Earth!

Boom!

Amidst the radiating golden light, the Killing Dao Law and the Heaven-Reaching Law collided instantly, forming a massive sphere of light in the blink of an eye. This sphere of light was composed of two colors, one cyan and one gold, intertwined like marble veins, looking extremely eerie. In that instant, they were both enveloped within this sphere of light.

The Chang'an City suspended in mid-air, along with the defensive array along the city's edge, formed an absolute vacuum death zone. Any living creature that dared to appear in such an area had only one path: to be vaporized.

Not long after, a crack suddenly appeared on the defensive array, and then it suddenly shattered like glass. The massive, intertwined golden and cyan sphere of light expanded once more. Its volume was immense, just like a new sun appearing on the horizon, emitting an eerie light.

A dozen seconds later, this sphere of light suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared at all. The moment the sphere of light vanished, two figures stood in the air, still looking at each other's direction. However, Ksitigarbha's face was now dark green, blood was spraying from his mouth and nose, and the Buddhist beads on his hand had also developed cracks.

In the entire sky, there was nothing left where Chang'an City originally stood, only air.

"To oppose me, you integrated killing intent into your so-called Heaven-Reaching Law? Heh, I have to say, you have quite the imagination, but you have gone completely down the wrong path!"

Hongjun laughed, "Killing intent is a difficult thing to master, especially for someone like you who is originally compassionate. Mastering killing intent goes heavily against your nature, so not only can you not control this fused power, but you will also suffer the backlash of the killing intent, preventing your Law power from unleashing the strength it should have!"

Ksitigarbha knew he was right. This power of backlash had even dealt a strong impact to his already fully stabilized Buddha body, nearly causing him to be utterly destroyed in body and soul!

"Hmm... This imperial jade seal is quite sturdy; it wasn't destroyed under such an impact... Heh, that so-called emperor, did he actually lose the imperial jade seal while fleeing in a panic?"

In front of Hongjun, the imperial jade seal fell from overhead like a meteor, crashing towards the ground.

Saying this, he ignored Ksitigarbha, who was unable to move, and turned to chase after it towards the ground. Come to think of it, at a time like this, if even he couldn't obtain the imperial jade seal, then there would truly be no justice in the world. After all, there was no one left on Earth who was his match, and at this moment, no one could stop him either.

However, the moment his right hand was about to touch the imperial jade seal, a feeling of unease suddenly lingered in his heart. That feeling... was just like the moment a Chaos beast he encountered during his cultivation was about to open its mouth to eat him—the feeling of impending disaster, of being on the verge of death.

Suddenly, he gripped the creation jade plate in his left hand, and at the same time, threw the Qingping Sword out with his right hand. His consciousness resided within the Qingping Sword, so he could fully control it to catch the imperial jade seal.

As for why he didn't use telekinesis, he had already tried it; the imperial jade seal seemed completely unaffected by magic techniques and could only be retrieved through physical means.

After doing all this, the terrifying feeling he had anticipated finally became reality. A golden beam of light descended with a boom from a distant mountain, enveloping his entire person...

Boom!

The electromagnetic blast, carrying immense energy, submerged him completely. In the blink of an eye, it tore Hongjun apart, vaporized him, and ultimately obliterated his body...

On the distant mountain, Sun Wukong, holding the electromagnetic cannon, naturally saw this scene through the scope, but he had no confidence at all and had even prepared to flee!

Because he saw that the Qingping Sword did not lose its ability to act due to its master's disappearance; instead, it accelerated towards the imperial jade seal, and in the blink of an eye, scooped up the seal with the side of the long sword.

"Damn, that guy doesn't even die from this?"

Sun Wukong was shocked. In the scope, a hand suddenly appeared in the Void Realm, scooping the imperial jade seal into its grasp. Following the arm, Hongjun's entire body appeared.

Tucking the fragments of the creation jade plate into his robe, he raised the Qingping Sword and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "That was close. This weapon must have applied electromagnetic force as propulsion, right? Hmm, let me think... It uses electromagnetic force to propel the Golden Cudgel as a weapon to attack, is that it? If I hadn't used the creation jade plate to modify the parameters, temporarily making myself nothingness in the Universe, I might have been seriously injured!"

Not far away, a golden ray of light had already landed, causing the entire ground to churn and triggering a massive earthquake.

The terrifying energy and shockwave were wreaking havoc on the ground, but this also allowed Hongjun to spot the Golden Cudgel on the ground at a glance!

"Sun Wukong, you are really courting death..."

Following this curse, Sun Wukong immediately sensed something was wrong. The Somersault Cloud was instantly activated, and his body rapidly retreated. The electromagnetic cannon he had originally used was modified from the Ruyi Jingu Bang. The moment he left, countless cyan lights flashed from the electromagnetic cannon, and then the thing fell apart, dropping to the ground and turning into a pile of scrap metal.

The cut surfaces were smooth and flat, like a mirror, looking extremely eerie.

"Is this the power of the Qingping Sword? I didn't even see him move..."

Sun Wukong's expression was extremely grim. For the first time in his life, he had the thought of retreating... After all, this old guy Hongjun was too terrifying. His strength was already beyond what Sun Wukong could understand now. Unless he became a true Saint, it would be impossible to oppose Daoist Hongjun.

In the blink of an eye, that figure had already appeared before the shattered Ruyi Jingu Bang. Looking at the monkey in the distance, he sneered, "So the Great Sage Sun also has a day when he retreats, huh!"

Sun Wukong's face turned beet red. He had already begun summoning the Golden Cudgel he had launched out, preparing to fight Hongjun to the death, but unexpectedly, a massive Buddha palm suddenly descended from mid-air, fiercely slapping Hongjun down towards the ground.

Boom!

It was like Mount Tai descending from the sky, its terrifying power instantly pressing Hongjun down so he couldn't lift his head, crashing him fiercely into the ground.

"Hongjun, although I have suffered backlash, I am not dead yet!"

Ksitigarbha's voice came from behind, cold and calm.
