With the momentum of splitting the heavens and severing the seas, Yan Zhaoge tore apart the sea of white flames formed by the Mahasthamaprapta's Buddha light.
"Previously, when he was in the Grand Virtual Realm, he combined the martial arts of the Three Clear lineage and created a new supreme art of his own. There are still traces of it, and I can vaguely see the source." Beneath the central Saha Pagoda, Daolord Lu Ya frowned as he witnessed Yan Zhaoge's attack, "Now, I can't see anything …"
Yan Zhaoge separated the all-encompassing radiance and extended his hand. His index and middle fingers formed a sword and stabbed towards the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.
A lotus appeared under the Bodhisattva's feet and lifted him up to retreat.
However, Yan Zhaoge's speed was even faster. Although the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva teleported by the void, he could still see the sword-radiance on Yan Zhaoge's fingertip getting closer and closer.
The Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva had no choice but to put his palms together and condense a dharma body of boundless light.
Boundless radiance spread out in all directions before converging into a single point.
In front of the chest of the Bodhisattva, white light condensed into a lotus platform with nine petals.
This lotus platform slowly drifted forward, meeting the sword-light on Yan Zhaoge's fingertip.
In the void of the Demon Domain, wherever the lotus platform passed, everything was burned through, forming a hollow path.
The immeasurable brilliance was highly condensed and compressed, forming an unimaginably high temperature that was even higher than the blazing flames.
The light repelled, destroyed, and melted everything it encountered, the Nine Petal Lotus Platform possessing both offence and defence, possessing shocking power as it met Yan Zhaoge's sword-light head-on.
As compared to this nine-petaled lotus platform, Yan Zhaoge's sword-light was like a candle flickering in the wind as it was indiscernible.
However, when the two sides collided, the seemingly weak sword light directly pierced through the nine-petal lotus platform!
The lotus platform that had been pierced through was no longer stable, and the boundless radiance that had been condensed was unable to continue gathering, so it began to scatter into the surroundings.
The radiance once again shone in all directions, but it had lost the boundless and limitless concept from before. Every bit that dissipated was a bit less.
As the nine-petal lotus platform shattered, the radiance quickly dimmed.
That ordinary-looking sword radiance continued to extend like a small flame as it stabbed toward the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.
"Buddha is merciful." The Dipankara Ancient Buddha looked at the blood sea that was on the verge of drying up, yet still had some remaining. He let out a long sigh and chanted the name of Buddha. He took out the eighteen Sea Calming Pearls again and smashed them towards Yan Zhaoge. He intended to attack the enemy's weakness and help the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva out of his predicament.
The five-colored light on the Sea Calming Pearl was dazzling and suppressing one's soul.
Yan Zhaoge exhaled three times towards the sky, three streams of clear qi strolling about in the air above his head, resembling a sea of clouds.
The five-coloured glow of the Sea Calming Pearl was obscured by the clear qi as it was instantly unable to reach Yan Zhaoge.
That orb that was heavy as the heavens descended, aiming straight for Yan Zhaoge's head.
Yan Zhaoge, however, ignored this famed treasure that had slain numerous peak bigwigs.
A sword light flashed on the tip of his finger. After piercing through the nine-petal lotus platform, he thrust out another sword and continued forward.
Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva wanted to dodge, but the invincible sword ray still pierced his forehead.
The Golden Body of the Buddha, which was shining brightly, was like a deflated balloon.
Yan Zhaoge retracted his finger, causing the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva's forehead wound to continuously emit radiances.
The act of drawing the sword seemed to drain the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva's life aura.
At the same time, the Sea Calming Orb smashed into the air above Yan Zhaoge's head.
Seeing that Yan Zhaoge couldn't dodge in time, his Niwan Palace opened up, and another stream of white qi shot up to the sky.
Stimulated by this white qi, the three streams of clear qi above Yan Zhaoge's head combined into one.
This qi rapidly transformed, forming a canopy, which covered Yan Zhaoge's head.
On top of the canopy, wondrous phenomena appeared. Layer after layer, resembling a pagoda.
The bottom part was chaos, which was blurry and hard to describe. It seemed to exist and not exist, as if the primordial chaos had yet to be formed.
Above, the primordial chaos was formed, and the universe was born. The chaotic Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind surged everywhere, causing the earlier heaven scenery to be unstable.
When the Earlier Heaven Five Grands and Five Virtues manifested, the Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind were re-established. The heavens and earth were split apart, and the Taiji was divided into Yin and Yang, creating the initial birth of creation.
After that, the primordial chaos changed, and the birth of all living beings and the myriad of scenes of the world appeared one after another.
Layer after layer, continuously moving upwards, the wondrous phenomena stacked together.
In the end, creation came to an end. All living beings perished, and everything returned to nothingness.
An indescribable and indescribable point stood on top of the canopy, faintly discernible like a precious orb.
However, that wasn't the end. Instead, it seemed to be a brand new beginning, evolving into another primordial chaos, and the changes of creation.
As such, the cycle continued, and the wondrous phenomena were endless.
At the edge of the canopy, there was also an endless amount of clear Qi, like many silk ribbons, hanging down.
As if the heavens were crashing down, the domineering Sea Calming Pearl landed on the canopy above Yan Zhaoge's head. However, it instantly stopped breathing.
The cosmos shrunk and reverted to the form of a colorful orb. As if it had landed on a plate, it was steadily lifted up by Yan Zhaoge's canopy.
Upon seeing this, Feng Yunsheng, Mahamayuri, Yang Jian, and Suo Mingzhang's eyes lit up.
Daolord Lu Ya, Nezha, and the others revealed expressions of shock.
The Dipankara Ancient Buddha, who was facing Yan Zhaoge's sharpness, felt even more intense. Huge waves surged within his mind, and he couldn't calm down.
Upon seeing the canopy appearing above Yan Zhaoge's head, the Dipankara Ancient Buddha knew that something was wrong.
He hurriedly tried to retract the Sea Calming Pearl.
In the end, the Sea Calming Pearls that landed on the canopy trembled. However, they couldn't leave the canopy, as if they were stuck on it.
No matter how hard the Dipankara Ancient Buddha tried, no matter how much the Sea Calming Pearls struggled, they couldn't fly up.
"This is fate …" The Dipankara Ancient Buddha sighed.
The Sea Calming Pearl that was being sucked in by the canopy could only be abandoned.
This treasure originally belonged to the Prime Clear bigwig Zhao Gongming. Later on, it fell into the hands of the Dipankara Ancient Buddha for more than an epoch. Now, it finally returned to the hands of the Daoism lineage.
Not only did the Dipankara Ancient Buddha abandon the Sea Calming Pearl, but he even left the area above the abyss of the blood sea and hid far away.
In the end, the Western Pure Lands still chose to give up on the Nine Underworlds Layout that they had painstakingly plotted for so long.
Otherwise, before the Dipankara Ancient Buddha succeeded, all the Buddhas of the Blessed Lands, including himself, would perish here!
Seeing Yan Zhaoge ascending to the Grand Heavenly Realm, and their success was right in front of them, the Dipankara Ancient Buddha and the group of Buddhist Bhantes had thoughts of greed, anger, and foolishness stirred within them. They had no choice but to face Yan Zhaoge head-on.
However, reality had proven that they couldn't rely on luck.
Along the way, Yan Zhaoge was invincible, sweeping through all the Buddhas of the Blessed Lands!
The Dipankara Ancient Buddha and the others were jolted awake. They immediately made a decision and retreated.
Yan Zhaoge acted as if nothing had happened and walked above the blood sea. He lowered his head and looked at the Blood Sea Grand Formation's runes, which were still surfacing with countless swastikas.
He swiped his palm down in the air, and the pure gold and translucent Buddha seals and talisman markings that were like clear glass all vanished.
"Benefactor Yan's cultivation is shocking. I'm impressed." The Dipankara Ancient Buddha sighed, "Only, you've just ascended to the Grand Heavenly Realm. While your strength is strong, you're still far from the Dao Realm. You're also walking on a path that has never been seen before. I'm afraid that the Nine Underworlds' situation isn't suitable for you. I wonder if you'll be helping Daoist Xuandu or Daoist South Pole in the end?"
