Zhu Hongwu's expression turned ice-cold, and his eyes burned with extreme anger.
He had never been so angry in many years.
Xuanmen Tianzong's plan was to use him as a whetstone for Zhu Yi, a stepping stone. By fighting with him, Zhu Yi would be able to break through the last bottleneck, the last barrier in his heart, and enter the Spirit Refinement Realm.
Unfortunately, he had walked right into his opponent's trap.
In the past, Zhu Hongwu had encountered his opponent's schemes, but most of the time, even when he knew there was a trap in front of him, he would still move forward without hesitation and use his powerful strength to crush it, turning his opponent's painstaking efforts into a joke.
But today, from the original intention of Zhu Yi and the others to the process of how things had developed, he felt extremely humiliated and depressed.
Zhu Hongwu stared at Zhu Yi, stared at Yue Hongyan, stared at the Golden Nirvana Bridge, the Wondrous Salo Tree, and the Nine Luminaries Sky Cracking Formation. His line of sight even penetrated through the layers of the void, looking at the City in the Sky and the Yin and Yang Life and Death Formation that enveloped Tianjing City. Behind all of this, he seemed to see a young man dressed in purple, his expression calm and his eyes shining with wisdom.
Not long ago, not to mention Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan, he did not even take the purple-clothed young man seriously. He firmly believed that his strength was enough to crush the purple-clothed young man to death. It was just that he had many other concerns, which prevented him from taking action.
But he did not know when it started, but he could no longer stand in front of the young man as an equal.
Now, even the young man's disciple had put him in such a predicament.
It seemed that ever since the young man appeared, the Great Zhou Dynasty, which had always been determined to improve, began to suffer setbacks and took a sharp turn for the worse.
The expression of Zhu Hongwu, who was suppressed in the sealing barrier, became calm at this moment, and the anger in his eyes disappeared. "From today onwards, everything has just begun."
"You, Xuanmen Tianzong, have been used to having a smooth life all these years, so much so that other than your Master, even you have become arrogant. You want to use me as a whetstone? I will break your blunt knife first. Unfilial son, you shall be the first core member of Xuanmen Tianzong to fall. "
"All of your schemes will only fail in the end. How long do you think that spirit formation of yours can last before me?"
As if to prove his words, Zhu Hongwu and the Great Celestial Wheel continued to shake even with the help of the Sala Wondrous Tree and the support of the Taixu Mystic Light all day long. After all, Zhu Yi was cultivating to break through the realm and refine his spirit to return to the void. He was far from being able to attack wholeheartedly with Zhu Hongwu and the Great Celestial Wheel.
"Indeed, it won't take too long. You will eventually be able to escape," Zhu Yi said, "But just like before, you are still slower than me."
After he finished speaking, Zhu Yi, who had been sitting cross-legged, stood up from the Paramita Golden Bridge. His fingers kept writing.
His brand-new essay wasn't all that gorgeous. It wasn't like an ordinary essay that was full of flowers, but it revealed a simple truth of the Great Dao.
The aura of literary elegance overflowed and resonated in the entire human world of the Divine Land. It was as if it was guiding the general trend of the human race to move forward together with the support of the majestic power.
The Holy Ancient Robe on his body lit up with white light. Countless figures flashed in the light and countless voices of reciting the essay sounded.
Those were the scholars of the past. They were triggered by the essay and connected the past and the present, resonating with the current trend of humanity.
In a trance, the trend of humanity of the past dynasties seemed to be ringing at this moment.
Zhu Yi and his essay were like a bridge that connected everything from ancient times to the present. The unceasing progress, the surging momentum, at this moment, was clearly linked together, gradually taking shape, supporting Zhu Yi's body. Everything seemed to flow smoothly and logically, becoming one with Zhu Yi.
The light projection above Zhu Yi's head gradually solidified and turned into a three-zhang tall figure. He wore a high crown and ancient robes, and his robes fluttered in the wind.
"Unfilial son, you want to cultivate the Return to Void Dharma Body, but you're going to fail at the last step. If you had more time, even I wouldn't be able to stop you. But now, the slightest difference is the difference of a thousand miles. This difference will determine your fate of defeat." Zhu Hongwu raised the Great Celestial Wheel and his figure suddenly flickered as if he had thousands of clones.
Countless silhouettes of Zhu Hongwu revolved around the Great Celestial Wheel at this moment. Countless fist shadows flashed, and the fist intents were added to the Great Celestial Wheel. The light wheel revolved with a loud rumble, crushing towards the sealing barrier and the Paramita Golden Bridge.
Among these fist shadows, Zhu Hongwu punched out fist will. Apart from his own fist will, there were also many seemingly right but actually wrong concepts.
Looking closely, one could vaguely see the King Of The Underworld's orthodoxy, Shushan's Sword Dao, and even the ancient Confucian orthodoxy's shadow. They were all integrated into Zhu Hongwu's martial arts fist will.
"You seem to know a lot of strange techniques and can see through and deduce all kinds of techniques. You do have some skill, but now that our Qi and feelings are intertwined, I can see through the concepts of these dao techniques. I don't need to learn them, I just need to channel them into my fist will."
Zhu Hongwu said coldly, "I've integrated the Heavenly Gate and Buddhist orthodoxy, and they are all techniques that can be comprehended by analogy. After I've integrated the Supreme Emperor's orthodoxy, the three techniques have become one, and I can control all the techniques in the world from top to bottom, bringing everything under my control!"
"Unfilial son, you want to use me to sharpen your blade? In the end, you will help me reach a higher level. Not only these techniques, but I will also step on Xuanmen Tianzong's dao techniques. They will become the cornerstone of my martial arts, making me stronger and stronger! "
As he shouted, thousands of fist shadows rotated the Great Celestial Wheel. The completely berserk light wheel seemed to collapse at the same time, crushing towards Zhu Yi.
The sealing barrier shattered immediately. Even the Nine Glory Sky Collapsing Formation in the sky shook violently, as if the stars were about to fall.
Zhu Hongwu's will was extremely firm. After the initial shock and anger, he quickly calmed down and pushed his strength to the limit, wanting to kill Zhu Yi and turn the tables.
His and Liang Pan's plan was to make all the necessary preparations before taking action. He would first deal with Yue Hongyan and Zhu Yi, then turn around and return to Tianjing City to deal with Shi Tianhao and the others.
Although he had fallen into Xuanmen Tianzong's trap and gained the upper hand by a show of strength, Zhu Hongwu quickly adjusted his mentality and cut through the Gordian knot, hitting the key point.
The key to the development of the situation ultimately depended on the battle between him and Zhu Yi. As long as he won, Xuanmen Tianzong's previous successful plan would naturally be in vain.
However, at this moment, Zhu Yi shouted, "You want to turn the tables? You can't do it! "
"The torrential human dao is the general trend, and everyone is working hard to improve themselves. However, you want to enslave everything and go against the trend. Even if you have a moment of glory, you are destined to be destroyed in the end!"
"If you want to turn the tables, your opponent is not me, but the people of the world. How can you succeed?"
As he shouted, Zhu Yi suddenly wrote the last word of his second article. There were a total of two strokes.
One stroke and one stroke, but it was the word "person".
Once the article was completed, the figure of light above Zhu Yi's head was also completely formed. The figure was three feet tall, and its facial features were exactly like Zhu Yi himself. It wore a high hat and ancient clothes, and as the clothes fluttered, it blended into the void. It held an ancient book in its hand, and the words "I Ching" were written on the cover.
As the pages flipped, it could be seen that there were words on the first few pages of the book. It was Zhu Yi's second article, and the pages after that were blank.
This blank space did not seem empty, but instead seemed to contain countless possibilities, and could bear the weight of countless wonderful truths.
The unknown was understood as the known, and the known extended to even more unknown. The two were born from each other, endless, and included everything known and unknown.
The sea of learning was boundless, and there was no end to learning. In the process of continuous exploration and learning, people turned the unknown into the known, and used various methods to sense things and principles that they could not sense before, understand things and principles that they could not understand before, and grasp things and principles that they could not grasp before. This was the process of the human dao's continuous advancement.
On the forehead of the figure of light, there was a black and white Tai Chi diagram. Slowly, it seemed to contain all the profound truths of the world.
This three-feet tall figure was Zhu Yi's Void Return dharma body. The figure descended and merged with Zhu Yi's entire body. Then, he opened his eyes, and streams of light shot out from his pupils.
The entire Divine Land was filled with the sound of reading. In the Great Zhou Dynasty's Tianjing City, and in the Great Qin Dynasty's Xiling City, the statues of the past sages and sages in the Great Zhou Dynasty's Tianjing City all trembled at this moment.
Zhu Yi, who had transformed into a three-feet tall statue of a sage, lowered his head and looked down. He was facing the figure of Zhu Hongwu who was controlling the Great Celestial Wheel to attack him.
Zhu Yi's foot paused slightly, and he shouted, "The sea of bitterness is boundless, and boats are hard to find. I will raise the golden bridge, cross the sea of bitterness, and lead all living beings to the other side!"
As he shouted, colorful halos lit up on the Paramita Golden Bridge. On the basis of the original seventh halo, there was an additional eighth halo. There was also a faint ninth halo that flashed and disappeared in a flash.
The Paramita Golden Bridge, which was enveloped by the eight halos, suddenly became even more magnificent under the support of Zhu Yi's surging magic power. Streaks of golden light hung down like silk ribbons, sprinkling over the heaven and earth.
The golden bridge carried Zhu Yi down, and it collided with the Great Celestial Wheel that was trying to overturn the Paramita Golden Bridge!
The void was directly annihilated, and the myriad domains twisted violently at this moment. Dazzling white light flashed, intertwining with the chaos after the void was destroyed. It was as if the world before them had been beaten back to the prehistoric era.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Zhu Yi and the Paramita Golden Bridge stood unmoving, while Zhu Hongwu and the Great Celestial Wheel were directly knocked back!
Without waiting for Zhu Hongwu to make his next move, Zhu Yi's voice resounded through the void, "Are you confident that your martial path can control the heavens? You'll be second only to one and above millions, helping Emperor Zhou to rule and enslave all lives?"
"Then take my Paramita Divine Fist first. Let's see if you can take it!"
As he spoke, Zhu Yi's Void Return Stage physique fused with the Paramita Golden Bridge, and he transformed into an indomitable golden giant. The eight halos on his head shone brightly, illuminating the world.
As soon as the giant appeared, he punched out, and the Vital Energy of the Heavens and Earth exploded!
Under this punch, the tens of thousands of fist shadows that Zhu Hongwu had wrapped around the Great Celestial Wheel were all shattered, and the Great Celestial Wheel that suppressed the heavens was once again knocked back!
