Chapter 304 Eunuch Cao's Retreat

Xue Bai's Aura was powerful, and golden light flowed over his entire body.

At this moment, he was confident to the extreme.

All three Divine Treasuries had been opened and connected, converging above his head into a magnificent flower.

This was the Three Flowers that every cultivator in the world dreamed of.

When you reach this Realm, it means you have officially stood at the pinnacle of this world. The next step is to excavate the power of the Divine Treasuries to Perfection and achieve the shattering of the Void Realm.

"He Wuzhu, if you rein in your horse at the precipice now and submit to this King, this King will spare your life. Otherwise, I will ensure you die without a complete corpse!"

Xue Bai's eyes were cold, his voice stern, and golden light dazzled on his fist.

A terrifying Aura rose from his body.

"My apologies, He cannot do that!"

He Wuzhu raised his palms, his palm shadows piling up like rows of mountains. The palm pressure caused ripples to appear in the Void Realm.

"Overestimating your own capabilities!"

Xue Bai said nothing more. With the imperial throne now within reach, he did not have the patience to waste, nor would he allow anyone to block his path.

Boom!

A vast fist light blasted out. The mountain-like palm shadows crumbled one after another. The flow of true essence illuminated the entire night sky, reflecting Heavenly King Xue's confident and domineering eyes.

Just as everyone was forced to retreat by this terrifying Fist Intent, a black shadow suddenly charged into the fray.

At this moment, no one noticed it, only the hair on the back of Xue Bai's neck stood up.

"What is that?!"

Xue Bai's eyes narrowed, and he immediately withdrew and retreated rapidly.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As that black shadow struck, his face finally appeared in Xue Bai's eyes.

Streaks of golden silk pierced directly through the Void Realm, forming an invisible net that enveloped Heavenly King Xue. These golden threads were forged directly from essence, Qi, and spirit, indestructible, even slicing trails into the Void Realm.

"The Chief Eunuch of the Directorate of Ceremonial, Cao Gui?!"

A deep killing intent appeared on Xue Bai's face.

"This King has been waiting for you!"

Cao Gui was a top expert within the imperial palace, a supreme existence at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown level. How could Xue Bai not have investigated this clearly beforehand?

Cao Gui's withered, bark-like face was expressionless, carrying only an indomitable killing intent.

"This humble one has also been waiting for Heavenly King Xue for a long time. I just wanted to learn your master moves!"

Rip!

Cao Gui flicked his fingers, and the Void Realm, like cloth, was torn open from the middle. Countless golden threads sliced onto Xue Bai's body.

This all takes a long time to describe, but it actually happened in less than a breath.

"It's Eunuch Cao!"

The imperial court side was overjoyed. No one had expected that this usually low-key Chief Eunuch would actually be a terrifying powerhouse at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown level.

Even less did they expect that when the imperial court was in crisis and being attacked by the rebel army at the capital, it would be such a eunuch who stood out to block the powerful and terrifying Heavenly King Xue.

"Eunuch Cao, be careful! This person has already achieved a Breakthrough to the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, his cultivation is at the peak!"

In the distance, Prince Wei, who was fighting against the Hanging Temple's celestial human, shouted a warning.

"Prince Wei, rest assured. With me here, he will not be able to sit on that throne!"

"Hmph! Boastful words!"

Xue Bai snorted coldly, and dazzling golden light soared from his body, transforming into a shimmering golden bell around him.

Once this bell appeared, it defended the surrounding space airtightly, making the surrounding Void Realm as hard as the most resilient divine metal.

"The Immovable Wisdom King's Bell Seal of Nalanda Temple?"

"I wonder if it can block my Golden Sunflower Thousand Silk Technique!"

Cao Gui sneered. Countless golden threads tightly wrapped around the golden bell. The terrifying cutting power acted upon the bell, and the two forces eroded and sliced at each other, shaking the surrounding Void Realm into cracks.

The momentum of the two was not as great as He Wuzhu's palm seal just now, but the level of danger was more than ten times greater.

"Ha!"

Xue Bai roared. The Three Flowers above his head were hazy, his essence, Qi, and spirit pushed to the limit. The golden bell transformed into a hundred-zhang giant, forcefully defending against the cutting of the Thousand Silk Technique.

"Hehehe!"

Cao Gui sneered disdainfully,

"The Immovable Wisdom King's Seal of Nalanda Temple is indeed powerful. However, Heavenly King Xue, having relied on the power of Luck to achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown not long ago, how much of your own strength can you actually utilize?"

While speaking, he flicked his fingers, and several more golden threads shot out, carrying a sharpness that could pierce everything and a speed that could not be dodged, shooting onto the golden bell.

Relying on his Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown cultivation, Xue Bai suppressed everything outside the capital, and even "Dual Palms Propping the Heavens" He Wuzhu was no match for him.

But for him, who had also opened the three Divine Treasuries, he was not invincible.

The golden threads shot onto the golden bell, emitting grand, clanging bell tolls.

Some nearby Supreme Grandmasters were shaken by the bell tolls, causing their blood to churn and their Primordial Spirit to become unstable, forcing them to hurriedly retreat.

In a battle at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown level, even Supreme Grandmasters could be affected just by watching.

Crack!

Hearing a teeth-grinding sound, the few golden threads shot out by Cao Gui pierced several tiny holes into the hundred-zhang golden bell.

This was just the beginning, but being pierced with holes meant that the Immovable Wisdom King's Bell Seal had already been broken, losing its initial defensive capability.

Xue Bai frowned slightly, while a chilling smile appeared on Cao Gui's face.

He grabbed the golden threads and pulled them to both sides.

Bang! Crash!

The hundred-zhang giant golden bell shattered like glass instantly into thousands of fragments, turning into countless golden rays of light flying everywhere.

"Good!"

Prince Wei Li Yan, Garrison General Yuwen Hui, and others were overjoyed at the sight.

And those on the rebel side were all shocked and terrified.

"Senior Brother!"

"Heavenly King, be careful!"

In the distance, Xue Bai's Junior Brother, Venerable Departing Soul, used his blade to force back the celestial human of Qingyang Palace, retreated nearly a thousand zhang, and looked over here. Others also hurriedly called out warnings.

Swish!

The golden threads that had been covering the outside lost the resistance of the golden bell and immediately began to contract, turning into a golden net falling down.

With the terrifying power of these golden threads capable of slicing the Void Realm, even if Heavenly King Xue had achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, he might not be able to block it.

"amitabha!"

Just at this moment, an old Buddhist chant rang out behind Xue Bai. A withered, thin palm rose, forming a supporting seal, lifting up the entire sky.

An invisible force directly disintegrated the net woven by the golden threads, shocking everyone.

There's another expert?!

For the ordinary Martial Artists below, tonight was a scene they would not see in their entire lives.

They had thought that celestial humans were already the true peak of this world.

But tonight, more than one expert at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown level had appeared, completely shattering everyone's cognition.

"It's Abbot Fayuan of Nalanda Temple!"

In everyone's eyes, that withered palm retracted, and a short monk walked out from behind Xue Bai, lowering his eyebrows and head, his expression compassionate.

"Great Master Fayuan, thank you!"

Heavenly King Xue thanked him in a low voice. Great Master Fayuan slowly shook his head and sighed:

"I only hope that after the Heavenly King ascends to the throne, you will be able to let the people rest and recover, stop the fighting early, and no longer let the common people suffer such misery!"

"That is only natural, please rest assured, Great Master!"

Great Master Fayuan nodded, then looked at Cao Gui opposite him, pressing his palms together and saying:

"Benefactor Cao, your Pure Yang Thousand Silk Technique is extremely sharp. This old monk is untalented, but I am willing to learn your master moves!"

"Hmph! Monk Fayuan, your Nalanda Temple supports the rebels, causing boundless carnage. Sooner or later, you will fall into the Avici Hell and have no chance with the Pure Land!"

"amitabha!"

Great Master Fayuan chanted a Buddhist name and said in a low voice:

"As the saying goes, if I do not enter Hell, who will?"

"To avoid harming the innocent, I invite you, Benefactor, to go to the high heavens. There are a few old friends there, and we can reminisce about the past!"

As he spoke, Great Master Fayuan formed the Vajra Seal and pushed forward in an unremarkable manner. The countless golden threads shot out by Cao Gui were forced to roll back, and a surging power seemed to push the entire space around him backwards for hundreds of miles.

Cao Gui's eyes narrowed. Under the opponent's Vajra Seal, he was inevitably pushed back. The war flames of the city retreated rapidly before his eyes. In the blink of an eye, he was pushed far away from above the capital, retreating into the deep night sky.

"What a thieving bald donkey!"

Li Yan and the others were shocked and furious at the sight.

Monk Fayuan, as the Abbot of Nalanda Temple, possessed cultivation that truly reached the heavens and covered the earth.

Even Eunuch Cao, who was at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown level and had just suppressed Xue Bai, was actually forced back by Monk Fayuan at this moment.

With this retreat of Eunuch Cao, the fate of the Great Jin Dynasty was set back by at least thirty years.
