The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS-Chapter 1257 - 282: Intensity

Streaks of flowing light flew from the White Jade City to the four corners, each containing a martial artist of the Divinity Realm, all cultivating the Xuan Yuan One Qi.

They used themselves as signal stations, spreading the Qi Mechanism fluctuations of the Dao Ancestor across the entire world.

"This······"

Kong Xuankong and his wife, flying toward the Divine Capital, felt their Qi Mechanism link to a vast source, which beat like a heart, causing their True Qi to violently fluctuate with each throb.

"Thump thump thump······"

Kong Xuankong felt his True Qi circulate rapidly, absorbing large amounts of Primordial Energy with each breath.

Could it be that the source resonating with him was assisting in refining the Primordial Energy?

"What is going on here?" He was astonished and felt that such unfathomable benefits might not bode well.

In fact, Kong Xuankong had misjudged, for it was truly a great boon.

The Dao Ancestor's Qi Mechanism resonated with his, a mutually beneficial interaction, where the True Qi fluctuations of the Tao Realm facilitated the operation of their cultivation techniques, as long as they were below the Tao Realm, they all gained some benefit.

And the Qi Mechanism of these resonating individuals could also benefit the Dao Ancestor. Despite the minor benefit each provided, many small benefits accumulate into a significant advantage. If martial artists across the world resonated with the Dao Ancestor, the benefits would be immeasurable.

But the current issue wasn't about benefits or not, it was······

"Why···can the Dao Ancestor resonate with all the martial artists in the world?"

On the Zhenwu Seven Peaks, a trace of Qing Yu's Spiritual Sense awakened his avatar. Raising his hand, he sensed the wave even from afar and muttered to himself.

Back when the Dao Ancestor created the True Qi Martial Way, during the battle of Zhuolu, he intended to resonate his Qi Mechanism with the martial artists of the world, to rally human strength against the Heavenly Dao, but was disrupted by the violent Qi Mechanism when the Human Emperor and Xinglie Clan clashed, ultimately sealed by the Heavenly Dao due to a minor miscalculation.

After his sealing, over ten thousand years of development, the Martial Way had drastically transformed, no longer resembling its ancient form. The Dao Ancestor became the ancestor of the Taoists, not the Martial Way.

But now, the events of ten thousand years ago have reoccurred, as the Dao Ancestor resonates again with the True Qi martial artists of the world.

"If he had premeditated this, certain that he could once again resonate with the martial artists of the world······"

Qing Yu slightly frowned, "Then I can understand why he allowed the Taoists to focus on the Divine Demon Body Refining stream martial artists over the years, yet ignored the Mystical Sect, allowing it to develop uninhibitedly."

All True Qi martial artists could become allies of the Dao Ancestor, except for those practicing the Divine Demon Body Training stream.

The Dao Ancestor didn't mind the development of the Mystical Sect and other True Qi martial artists, even encouraging it. The more these martial artists developed, the greater the Dao Ancestor's gains.

"This is using others to benefit himself." Qing Yu clenched his fist tightly.

Despite sensing a hidden plot by the Dao Ancestor due to the Taoists' unusual activity over the past decade, Qing Yu had not anticipated the simplicity yet unpredictability of his plan.

Qing Yu had his plans; the Dao Ancestor had his plots. Both succeeded, at this very moment, during Qing Yu's epic battle with the Buddha. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The Dao Ancestor was no fool to wait until the battle between Qing Yu and the Buddha had ended to make his move. His meticulously prepared plan seized the opportunity, unleashing a storm with his trump cards revealed.

"The battle must end swiftly."

··························

"Jiedi Seal."

Beyond limits, Qing Yu's power ascended to new heights, his Fist Seal tearing through the Sea of Suffering, directly striking the Other Shore.

Although the Dao Ancestor's changes concerned Qing Yu, they could not shake his determination. His sole thought was to defeat the Buddha.

"Boom——"

After the Buddha's Sea of Sufferings Demon Venerable avatar was torn apart, the Other Shore Buddha Body personally took to the field. Palm force and Fist Seal collided, adding a scene of annihilation to the already apocalyptic landscape.

"Refine!"

The Buddha retrieved the Sea of Sufferings Demon Venerable avatar, with determination etched on his face, he immediately refined this avatar, refining the demon with Buddha, forging Buddha with demon.

As the battle unfolded to this extent today, the demon avatar had to be sacrificed.

In terms of demon path acumen, the Buddha was outmatched by Qing Yu, who had orchestrated a great calamity, absorbing the Six Heavenly Demon Qi and Ten Great Demon Beads. Rather than allowing the demon avatar to be countered, it was better to refine it to enhance his Buddha Skill.

"All the Ten Directions World, all beings thrice over,

I, with pure body, speech, and mind, fully pay homage to all without remainder.

With Universal Virtue's Vow Power, I appear before all Tathagatas.

My body replicates to become dust bodies in realms, paying homage to each and every dust Buddha."

The Buddha's words resounded through the heavens and earth, his terrifying palm force shattered the incoming Fist Seal, stepping on the lotus, transforming with each step.

Body after body appeared, in a flash, eighty-eight Buddha Bodies manifested, seated upon the clouds, facing Qing Yu collectively.

Namo Vajra Unbreakable Buddha, Namo Treasure Light Buddha, Namo Dragon Venerate King Buddha······ and atop them all, where the Buddha's true self resided, Namo Amitabha Buddha.

The eighty-eight Buddhas throughout Buddhist history had all materialized.

"Buddha Repents Prajna, to terminate Interminable."

All Buddhas chanted together, the sky filled with Buddha's words condensing into an enormous Swastika, bearing supreme suppressive might and boundless Buddha Skill intent, pressing upon that rebel against Buddha.

"Boluo Seal."

Qing Yu pushed the martial skill of the 'Now Tathagata Sutra' to its peak, the light circle formed by the Nine Divine Seals burst with immeasurable light, his punch struck, its domineering power tore through everything, for even before a Buddha, it intended to crush them.

"Boom——"

The triumphant power of now clashed with the suppressive force of the eighty-eight Buddhas, two Buddhist energies of differing origins yet common paths collided to their extremes, they twisted the whole sky of the Western Regions. The space shattered like mirrors, cascading down with fragments small and large.

For those still within the Western Regions, they faced the true hell.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha, may my Buddha protect."

Before the approach of death, the devout Buddhist disciples could only pray for the Buddha's protection, hoping for that one in a million miracle.

So, would the Buddha protect them? Would a miracle occur?

As the first ray of light appeared, a miracle happened. Followed by the radiance from all over the Western Regions, and even the surroundings of Yellow Sand City within the borders.

But this was not a guiding or lifesaving light, but a bridge of linking power.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha, Buddha and I are one, heaven and earth acknowledge it."

Absorbing countless rays from all directions, the Buddha, transcending all Buddhas, saw his power skyrocket. A palm thrust forth, resembling the worship from myriad Buddhist disciples, that majestic palm force, confronting Qing Yu like facing all beings.

This was the power of all beings, the entirety of the strength offered by those devout Buddhist disciples.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha, I shall bear all beings, transcend the Sea of Sufferings, and ascend to the Other Shore."

The Buddha spread his palm, within it a Buddha Country manifested, housing countless Buddhist disciples. These were the beings who had unified with the Buddha through 'Buddha's Only Venerate Decision'.

He, along with all the Buddhas, joined palms, a piece of solemn Pure Land expanded from small to immense, enveloping the sky, colliding fiercely with Qing Yu.
