The Sima Family's Ingenious Stratagem had a total of five moves. Apart from Camouflage and Espionage, there was also Provoke, which would mislead all enemies on the battlefield and force them to slowly move toward the caster, luring them into a trap. Deceit was an active strategist skill that was specifically used on oneself or one's allies. It had an area of effect, allowing one and one's allies to collectively obtain a combo effect. All special skills, spells, or strategist skills that consumed one's mental energy would have their power and effects increased.
However, these moves were not the most powerful. Sima Qimou's fifth move was called Assassin, which could cause an enemy with an unstable mental control ability to fall into an abnormal state of mind and become an assassin on one's side. Apart from possessing normal combat abilities, this assassin would also obtain the three great statuses of Accumulating Force, Concentrating Force, and Fighting to the Death, which would cause great damage to the enemy.
Accumulating Force increased one's strength and destructive power. Concentrating Force increased one's accuracy and movement speed. Fighting to the Death weakened one's defense by 30% and increased one's attack damage by 50%. It had a high chance of critical strike, double strike, or even a domineering effect that ignored defense. Among the generations of the Sima Family, only the Second Sage Sima Yi had mastered this skill.
In the blink of an eye, Sima Yi activated the Ingenious Stratagem, Assassin, at lightning speed. His target was none other than the reincarnated Dragon-Subduing Arhat. A streak of white light flashed past and entered Mo Jigong's forehead.
Mo Jigong had lost more than ten feet of his Buddhist light in the Fiend Fire Formation, and his cultivation was damaged. Then, he disregarded his life and transferred his most precious essence to his master, the Eight-leaf Tathagata, to activate the soul gem. Hence, he was currently at his weakest. His spirit was covered in dust, and his heart was in chaos. Hence, Sima Yi seized the opportunity and successfully controlled him with one move, turning him into an assassin.
The Eight-leaf Tathagata was preoccupied with dealing with Yang Ye and the divine monkey, Yuan Man, and did not pay attention to the calamity behind him. Mo Ji Gong softly chanted 'Namo Amitabha' and instantly turned one of his right legs into a deep purple color. Then, he aimed at his master's back and stomped his leg forward. A force that was both hard and soft shot out from the tip of his foot, forming a huge dragon head that grew larger and larger. It carried with it a majestic might that resembled a thunderstorm and purple Qi from the east.
Bang! The Eight-leaf Tathagata took the full brunt of the attack. His body flew forward on a cloud before he landed heavily on the ground. His face was bruised and swollen, and he was beyond recognition. Blood gushed out of his mouth, and a row of teeth fell out.
Fortunately, he was an experienced God of War and had many trump cards. The Buddhist robe he was wearing was not an ordinary item. It was based on the seven-treasure brocade kasaya passed down by Tang Sanzang, the protagonist of the Journey to the West world. It was a treasure made by cloning it with the god-level cloning technique. Although the kasaya was not inlaid with the seven treasures, it was still invulnerable to water and fire and could defend the body. In particular, it had additional special effects of weakening, reducing, resisting, and so on against the various powerful fighting techniques of the Buddhist protectors.
The leg technique Mo Jigong used to ambush the Eight-leaf Tathagata happened to be one of the six Buddhist techniques he was most proficient in, Buddha's Celerity. The six Buddhist techniques were Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Ear, Otherworldly Heart, Buddha's Celerity, Destiny's Connection, and Omniscient Connection. Logically speaking, only Buddhist disciples with Bodhisattva cultivation base and above could cultivate the first five of the six techniques. Only those who became Buddhas on the spot could cultivate a few of the six techniques. Only the Buddha of Three Lives and the Master of All Buddhas, Avalokitesvara, could cultivate the highest level of Omniscient Connection. It could sever all doubts and doubts, free from the restraints of life and death in the Three Realms, and free oneself from the sea of suffering and reach the shore of the other side.
Although Mo Jigong was only an Arhat, he had cultivated the six techniques in advance. Naturally, his cultivation base was not high. The only exception was Buddha's Celerity, which he had cultivated to the point of perfection. Due to this, before he subdued the Divine Dragon, he was known as the Purple-footed Arhat.
He had once sparred with the Golden-whiskered Turtle Fish Demon Buddha, Black Cloud Immortal, in the Western Paradise Eight Treasures Pool of Merit. With his purple feet, he managed to escape unscathed from this elite elite who cultivated Buddhism and had undergone five Heavenly Tribulations to reach the Immortality Realm.
Buddha's Celerity was not an escape technique that allowed one to teleport or traverse space. Instead, it allowed one to move freely and appear as one wished. It could be converted into various offensive, defensive, and evasive combat techniques. It was also known as Ruyi. It was a Buddhist technique that subdued devils and demons and suppressed the eighteen layers of hell.
With the protection of the Eight-leaf Tathagata's kasaya, he had escaped death, but it was difficult to endure. After being kicked half to death by Mo Jigong, he could only gnash his teeth and mutter, "Traitor". Meanwhile, Sima Yi fanned the Qiong Qi Feather Fan in his hand, creating a whirlwind that blew the power gem in his direction.
At this moment, Yang Ye quietly used his Qilin bloodline and his Auspicious Innate Skill. The healing effect of Rejuvenation swept across the battlefield and healed the injured Ling Kuang. As soon as Ling Kuang recovered her combat strength, she flipped her hand and shot out several strands of Heavenly Silkworm silk threads at lightning speed to wrap around the power gem that was blown away by the whirlwind.
"Little b * tch, you've forgotten the pain after your wounds have healed. Do you still dare to make me your enemy …?" Sima Yi sneered and continued to command the assassin, Ji Gong, to launch a sneak attack with Buddha's Celerity. Suddenly, his purple feet rose into the air and transformed into thousands of dragon-headed afterimages. Ling Kuang unfolded the apricot yellow flag and formed a golden lotus defense. While she was in a stalemate, Yang Ye attacked with Drifting Smoke and Clouds. He waved his fist and used the Nine Transformations Origin Technique, Heavenly Horse Transformation.
Heavenly Horse Transformation was known for its speed. Moreover, Yang Ye had also comprehended the Golden Saint's Miniature Universe Technique and awakened the Seventh Sense, so his speed was unbelievably fast. He shook his hand and created ripples of wind in the air. Although he attacked later, he arrived first and fought fiercely with the purple feet. As light and shadow intersected, fists and legs collided. In an instant, they exchanged hundreds of blows and were evenly matched.
While everyone was fighting, Sad Flute Xuanyuan Zheng, whose mind had been controlled by the soul gem and then injured by Sima Yi, suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared. He stood up from his wheelchair, and his entire body was surrounded by golden light. He erupted with a shocking aura that had never been seen before. He spread his arms and moved the stars and the moon, blocking the path of the sky. He grabbed the soul gem that Ling Kuang and Sima Yi were fighting over. It had been temporarily transformed into a power gem by the Eight-leaf Tathagata's Battle God Skill, Makeup.
As it turned out, when the Eight-leaf Tathagata used the Makeup Technique, this Battle God of the eastern district had already broken free from his mind control. However, in order to seize the best opportunity and obtain the greatest loot, Sad Flute continued to endure, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. At the critical moment, he played a beautiful game of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
When Ling Kuang, Yuan Man, Diao Chan, and the others saw this scene, their faces turned pale. They wanted to fight for it, but they were stopped by Yang Ye's voice transmission. On the other hand, Sima Yi's eyes were filled with mockery and gloating. As for the Eight-leaf Tathagata, who was on the verge of death after taking Mo Ji Gong's heavy kick, he was also smiling and laughing wildly.
"Xuanyuan Zheng, you're an idiot. How dare you grab the Infinity Gem with your bare hands? The ignorant are truly fearless … "
As soon as he finished speaking, Sad Flute was shocked to discover that the Infinity Gem had turned into a terrifying giant pump, madly absorbing the life essence in his body. In just a blink of an eye, his black hair turned white, and his fair skin became like dry tree bark. Meanwhile, Yang Ye, Sima Yi, Ling Kuang, and Mo Ji Gong were engaged in a fierce battle. For the time being, none of them had any qualms about the changes in this place.
At the critical moment, Diao Chan was kind enough to lend a helping hand. She brandished the Thunder Radiance Sword, and six bolts of lightning flashed and cut off the arm holding the Infinity Gem to the ground. Sad Flute's face was as pale as a sheet of paper. He fell to his knees and gasped for breath.
However, he was still able to maintain his composure. He expressed his gratitude and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Miss."
As Sad Flute's life essence was absorbed, Eight-leaf Tathagata's heavily injured body recovered. It turned out that the Infinity Gem was the key to becoming a Battle God. It had long been refined and merged with his True Spirit. The energy obtained from the gem could be used to replenish his body.
Eight-leaf Tathagata recovered his strength and reignited his desire to seize the treasures in the Golden Emperor's Coffin. He also wanted to take revenge on Yang Ye and Sima Yi's group. He raised his palms high, and the Buddhist light rose. Slowly, the sound of chanting rang in the air. Suddenly, he used his trump card, the Battle God Technique, Makeup!
The Infinity Gem turned from purple to blue, and turned into the Cosmic Rubik's Cube that appeared in the plot world of Captain America's huge Avengers. It had the power to surpass the rules of the Transformers Space Bridge. This stone could move itself or any object to any space at will. It could also distort or reorder space according to its will.
The Round Turtle in Yang Ye's body immediately warned him, and the Spirit-returning Treasure Saber also sounded ominous. In a panic, he tried to break out of the encirclement, but Mo Ji Gong just kept on pestering him. Divine Feet, Buddhist Light Illumination, Mud Pill, Six Syllables Sanskrit Mantra, Buddha's Hat, Cattail Leaf Fan, and all of them were Buddhist techniques.
"Get out of my way!" Yang Ye was full of vigor. His Sad Blood Qi suddenly erupted, showing a shadow of True Lord Erlang's invincibility when he used it. It diluted the Buddhist light and shattered the mud. His ape arm suddenly grabbed a monk's leg that was wrapped in purple energy.
Mo Ji Gong wanted to struggle, but he was not as strong as Yang Ye. Yang Ye's Sad Blood Qi penetrated his acupoints, and the Corpse Piling Qi's Underworld Wave crashed into his bier. With a crisp bang, his Luohan Primordial Spirit was knocked out of his head.
In the blink of an eye, the Creation Gourd opened, and the Universe Storing Gourd activated, capturing and suppressing Mo Ji Gong's Primordial Spirit. On the other hand, Yang Ye used two transformations. He bound the monk's body with the Binding Demon Chain and pierced the monk's shoulder blade with the Heart-gathering Nail.
The Eight-leaf Tathagata instantly sensed Mo Ji Gong's capture, and his expression turned even more venomous. He hated Yang Ye and the others to the core. However, he gritted his teeth and said, "You forced me to do this … In that case, I'll take you down with me. In the name of the Tathagata Buddha, I, Vikas, pray to wash the mountains and rivers with blood. I'll sacrifice the world of the three kingdoms to the western paradise, Moke Namo Samando … Ma Mi Ma Mi Hum!"
As soon as the incantation rang out, heaven and earth responded. The Golden Amulet Buddhist Voice was transmitted from an unknown world in the distant galaxy into the halo above the Eight-leaf Tathagata's head. Then, it shot out and merged with the Tesseract's spatial gem.
As the Buddhist Light shone brightly, the sanctity of light and justice resonated with the terror of darkness and evil, achieving an inexplicable harmony. The Tesseract suddenly transformed into a portal with magical colors. The decoration was simple and unadorned, and two sword-wielding Titan warriors flanked it on both sides. At the top of the portal was a black dragon from the western fantasy world.
Looking into the portal, it was a green unknown world that seemed to lead to the endless universe. Even with Yang Ye's clairvoyance, the super vision of the superhuman bloodline, and the Awakened's Divine Vision, he could not see the end of it clearly.
"The Dark Portal …" Yang Ye and Sima Yi shouted the same answer at the same time. No matter how they looked at it, this portal looked like the key item that connected the orcs' homeland, Draenor, and the Azeroth Continent in World of Warcraft. It was the key item that started the Burning Corps' interstellar invasion.
The Eight-leaf Tathagata cackled and said, "That's right. I'll let you know when you die. This is the Dark Portal. I'll let the Demonic Beasts from the epic battlefield descend into this world. I'll use the Calamity Corps to sweep across the central plains, destroy the three kingdoms, and kill all of you lowly dogs of Yan and Huang! "
