167: Chapter 167 The Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas, Dharma Heaven Descends

Li Xuan was locked in an intense battle of Divine Soul with the Wraith Queen of the Yaochi Ruins. In the distance, on the golden lotus platform, the eyelids of Arhat Fatian, who had been meditating with eyes closed, finally twitched.

Opening his eyes, his gaze pierced through the endless resentment and the flow of Chaos Qi, landing precisely in the center of the battlefield.

There was no expression on his face, but a sharp glint flashed deep within his eyes.

The timing was right.

He had been waiting for this perfect moment—when this powerhouse of unknown origin and the immortal Wraith Queen were locked in a struggle, leaving neither with the capacity to look elsewhere.

This powerhouse's strength was indeed terrifying. At the Daluo Second Realm, he was actually able to stand his ground against the Wraith Queen, who had gathered the power of the entire Yaochi Ruins.

But so what?

"Amitabha."

A grand Buddhist chant echoed once more through this silent forbidden zone.

This time, the chant held not a shred of admonition, but was filled with indisputable majesty and resolve.

Arhat Fatian leaped from the lotus platform. Under the illumination of the Buddha light, his withered body manifested a ten-thousand-foot golden Dharma Body.

The Dharma Body was solemn, with lowered brows and eyes, as if looking down upon all the suffering in the world.

"All monks, hear my command!"

The voice was like thunder, exploding in the ears of every monk.

"Form the Great Sun Vajra Demon-Subduing Seal!"

"Yes!"

On the golden lotus platform, tens of thousands of monks responded in unison. The prayer beads in their hands flew up simultaneously, and their Zen chanting suddenly became high-pitched and urgent.

Countless golden swastika Buddhist seals spewed from their mouths. No longer chaotic, they followed a certain mysterious trajectory, rapidly gathering, reorganizing, and compressing in the Void Realm!

In an instant, a golden giant Buddha, several times larger than the zhou tian star boat, condensed behind Arhat Fatian.

The giant Buddha had three heads and six arms, eyes wide with rage, and each arm supported a Buddhist realm world, within which billions of believers were devoutly chanting sutras.

A terrifying power capable of burning mountains, boiling seas, and suppressing Daluo emanated from the giant Buddha.

Inside the zhou tian star boat, Ao Qingxue had already turned pale with fright at this earth-shattering turn of events.

She hugged Li Yao tightly, using all her immortal power to barely resist the pressure of the Buddhist Dharma that threatened to crush her Divine Soul.

She could not imagine what kind of terrifying enemy would require such an astonishing formation!

Li Qingyue also furrowed her brows slightly. The Taiyin divine radiance around her shone brightly, like a cold, full moon, isolating her from the external Buddha light.

She looked at the giant golden Buddha that stood between heaven and earth, a trace of disgust appearing in her cold eyes.

In the Void Realm, the golden Buddha moved.

Six arms moved in unison, clasping together in front of him. The power of thousands of Buddhist realms gathered at a single point, condensing into a highly concentrated swastika Buddhist seal burning with golden flames.

Once the Buddhist seal appeared, the surrounding black resentment hissed and was immediately evaporated into a huge void.

The Wraith Queen also sensed a fatal threat. She let out a shrill shriek, abandoned her confrontation with Li Xuan, and turned to mobilize more resentment to block it.

The target of the golden Buddhist seal was not her, nor was it Li Xuan, but... the pantao mother tree, which was the source of everything!

"Boom!"

The golden Buddhist seal, like a sun falling from beyond the heavens, carried a terrifying momentum capable of burning everything, and slammed fiercely toward the ancient divine tree that had suffered for endless ages!

At the same time, Arhat Fatian's voice, feigning compassion and righteousness, resounded across the wild lands.

"Benefactor! This tree is the source of all evil, the root of resentment! As long as it is destroyed, this forbidden zone will collapse on its own! This humble monk has come to assist you!"

What a hypocritical face!

What a high-sounding excuse!

His wolfish ambition was packaged as the supreme Karma of slaying demons.

Those greedy eyes had long since seen through the pantao mother tree to the supreme treasure hidden beneath its roots, a treasure that even the Ten Thousand Buddhas Holy Land coveted!

Destroy the tree, take the treasure, all in one go.

As for this unknown powerhouse entangled with the Wraith Queen, he would serve as the perfect scapegoat!

He had calculated this so well that the entire Immortal Domain could hear the noise.

Inside the zhou tian star boat, Ao Qingxue was trembling with anger.

"Shameless! Despicable!"

She had never seen such a brazen Li Yao!

The Wraith Queen seemed confused by this sudden backstab, letting out an unintelligible roar, unsure of whom to attack first for a moment.

A ridiculous, momentary pause appeared in the chaotic battlefield.

Only Li Xuan, upon hearing Arhat Fatian's words, wore a strange smile on his face.

"Act, keep acting."

"It's a pity you aren't an actor with your talent for hypocrisy."

Li Xuan sneered and made a move that shocked everyone.

Ignoring the stunned Wraith Queen, he turned around, facing the golden Buddhist seal capable of burning everything with his back to this Daluo-level terror.

"Is this idiot crazy?"

Arhat Fatian's heart tightened.

He couldn't understand why the opponent would use his own Physical Body to meet this supreme strike, which gathered the power of tens of thousands of monks and eighty percent of his own cultivation.

"Could it be that he wants to... protect that tree?"

Then, he heard a sentence he would never forget for the rest of his life.

The voice was not loud, plain and simple, yet carried an indisputable dominance and matter-of-factness.

"You dare to touch my peach tree?"

Li Xuan raised his right fist.

There were no heaven-shaking phenomena, no surrounding Law chains, just such a plain and unremarkable punch, simply delivered.

The fist looked slow and weak, like an old punch thrown by a Mortal.

Yet this very fist precisely landed on the center of the burning golden swastika Buddhist seal.

The moment the fist and the seal touched, there was no earth-shattering explosion.

Time seemed to be stretched ten thousand times at this moment.

On Li Xuan's fist, a trace of Chaos Qi, imperceptible and deeper than the Void Realm, gently rippled out.

The golden Buddhist seal, which was tyrannical and capable of burning everything, had its Buddha flames extinguished upon touching this wisp of Chaos Qi, as if meeting its nemesis!

Then, the structure of the swastika seal, condensed from supreme Buddhist Dharma, disintegrated and collapsed from within. The Law runes composing it were forcibly erased and overwritten as if by a higher power.

"Pop."

A soft sound, like a bubble bursting.

That golden sun, which could make Daluo change color and possessed earth-shattering power, just... shattered.

It did not turn into golden light; under the erosion of the Chaos Qi, it was directly decomposed, assimilated, and turned into the most primitive energy, dissipating into the Void Realm.

One punch, and all Laws were destroyed!

For a moment, heaven and earth were silent.

On Arhat Fatian's ten-thousand-foot golden Dharma Body, the expression of compassion on his face froze.

On the golden lotus platform, tens of thousands of monks had their Zen chanting come to an abrupt halt, each with their mouths wide open, as if witnessing a miracle.

Even the ferocious Wraith Queen had a momentary stagnation in the resentment surrounding her.

"Gulp."

Arhat Fatian's Adam's apple bobbed, his withered skin twitching uncontrollably. The greed and self-satisfaction in his eyes were gone, leaving only horror.

"What... what kind of monster is this?"

Li Xuan dispelled the Buddhist seal, slowly withdrew his fist, and even had time to pat off non-existent dust from his body.

His gaze swept past the stunned Arhat Fatian, across the equally bewildered Wraith Queen beside him, and looked at them with interest.

His voice spread throughout the entire Yaochi Ruins.

"I want this peach tree."

"I'm taking this ruin as well."

He paused, his gaze like lightning, carrying an irresistible majesty.

"Are you two going to come at me together, or are you going to... get lost yourselves?"
