Northern Mang Great Emperor Gao Shihui nodded slightly as he looked at the vast and boundless Buddhist light.
"A fourteenth-realm Buddhist cultivator."
Jiang Zhe and the others were slightly surprised.
The first name that popped up in their minds was Master Kongru.
Due to the Twelve Yama Kings, most of the fourteenth-realm Buddhist cultivators in Middle Earth had died. There hadn't been another one for more than thirty years.
Until recently, Master Kongru had successfully cultivated a Boundless Realm Dharmakaya and reached the fourteenth-realm. The Vairocana Body had reappeared in Middle Earth.
However, it was a pity that this eminent Buddhist monk was actually helping Chang 'an City …
At this moment, as they felt the Buddhist Zen aura of perfection and boundless radiance, their gazes subconsciously landed on Hui Xing.
Hui Xing's body had already stiffened as he stared blankly at Yuan Fangfang's Buddhist light.
Noticing the others' gazes, Hui Xing suddenly regained his senses and took a deep breath. His expression returned to calmness as he lowered his gaze.
"In this place, having an extra errand boy like him will be of some use."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side.
Hui Xing was shocked. Then, he saw Northern Mang Great Emperor Gao Shihui's figure drifting away, flying toward the Buddhist light in the distance.
Amidst the raging tides, the Buddhist light stood tall like a mountain gate. At the same time, it kept spreading to both sides.
Wherever the Buddhist light went, more and more raging waves were stopped. It made it difficult for the tsunami caused by Tan Ping and the others to continue southward and destroy the coastal creatures in Middle Earth.
In the center of the Buddhist light, an old monk sat cross-legged with his palms pressed together. It was Master Kongru.
He had originally followed Zhang Dongyun's request to find the whereabouts of Astro Sovereign Chu Yaoguang. When he was at sea, he suddenly realized that a huge tsunami was coming and was about to destroy the coastal areas in Middle Earth. He immediately acted to stop the tsunami.
The old monk had been chanting scriptures with his eyes closed. At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the northern horizon.
At the intersection of the sea and the sky, a tall and thin man with a majestic appearance appeared.
Slowly, Master Kongru asked, "Benefactor, did you cause the tsunami?"
The Northern Mang Great Emperor, Gao Shihui, looked down at the old monk from above. "Yes or no, it is not important. We came here to ask you one thing. Are you willing to submit to us?"
Grandmaster Kong Ru didn't answer and only sighed. "There are billions of living creatures along the coast. This tsunami will spread far and wide. More than half of the northern coast of Middle Earth will be affected. When that time comes, the people will be plunged into misery and suffering. Who knows how many people will die and the number of displaced people will be innumerable."
Gao Shihui said calmly, "I know you were close to Chang 'an in the east, but as long as you sincerely pledge allegiance to me, I will let bygones be bygones and will not suspect you."
Both sides seemed to be talking about their own things and not answering the question. However, they gradually had an answer to each other's questions.
Grandmaster Kong Ru put his palms together. "All living things in the world are suffering, but all living things are equal. Benefactor's cultivation level is exceedingly high, shocking the world. However, I ask that benefactor consider all living things and not view them as mere weeds and mayflies."
Gao Shihui, on the other hand, raised a hand and clenched his fingers into a fist. "Those who don't surrender will die."
As he clenched his fist, an extremely dazzling light gathered on his hand.
In the next moment, a terrifying radiance descended from the sky.
Grandmaster Kong Ru chanted Buddha's name in a low voice.
A Buddha's Dharma Body, shining with the same radiance as the sun in the sky, condensed.
The glorious Buddha sat in the lotus position on the pure land. The pure land turned into endless light and expanded in all directions.
Grandmaster Kong Ru didn't retreat in the face of the Northern Mang Emperor's fist descending from the sky. He gathered behind Mahavairocana and met the attack with his palm. It was the Mahavairocana Palm, a consummate skill that combined Buddhism and martial arts.
The fist and palm collided in mid-air. The dazzling Mahavairocana Body and Gao Shihui in mid-air both swayed.
Gao Shihui was expressionless, like an emotionless deity. He continuously punched Grandmaster Kong Ru, who was below him.
With the support of the Peak Martial Emperor's strength, Grandmaster Kong Ru felt as if the whole world was pressing down on him with every punch he received.
He blocked the tsunami while resisting his opponent's increasingly heavy punches. He was like a reef on the shore that was being battered by huge waves but still didn't fall.
Jiang Zhe and the others gradually drew closer. However, they didn't dare to approach the battle between two fourteenth-level experts. They could only watch from afar.
"Third Brother, can you see the situation clearly?" Tu Lin asked softly. "I can only see that the Emperor seems to have the upper hand."
Jiang Zhe didn't turn around. He only glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
Tu Lin was indeed helping them against Tan Ping. She was also going to defect to the Northern Mang with them.
However, her true roots were indeed in the Tai Qing Palace.
"You're right. The Emperor has the upper hand now. If this continues, Kong Ru will only be able to stabilize himself and go on the defensive."
Jiang Zhe still answered Tu Lin's question. "Kong Ru is indeed a Buddhist prodigy. Although he just broke through to the fourteenth-level not long ago, he's already extremely proficient in using the Infinity Dharma Body."
Xiang Chen sighed softly. "If Kong Ru wants to leave, he should be able to, right?"
Since they had already surrendered to the Northern Mang, their conflict with Jiang Zhe and the others naturally didn't exist.
On the contrary, it was time to mend their previous relationship.
Song Rui couldn't bring himself to do this, while Xiang Chen gradually adjusted his attitude.
Jiang Zhe didn't give him any face either. After surrendering to the Northern Mang, they still had to fight against the Middle Earth Evolving Saint Mansion's Mansion Master Kong Shengzhen. They should be united.
"Normally, Kong Ru should have the chance to leave."
Jiang Zhe looked at the radiant Buddha in the distant sea. "However, it's hard to say now. Kong Ru is a little … stubborn."
Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
In order to prevent the tsunami from affecting the Middle Earth, Master Kong Ru wouldn't leave even if he could.
Hui Xing was silent and motionless. He stood in mid-air and stared straight at the radiant Buddha.
Slowly, Jiang Zhe glanced at him and said, "However, if this situation continues, the two sides might be in a stalemate for a long time …"
Just as they were speaking, Master Kong Ru's Vairocana Body suddenly stopped attacking. Instead, he put his palms together in front of him.
Following this action, the expansion of the Infinity Radiant Pure Land seemed to have stopped.
However, the radiance of the entire pure land became more and more solid and heavy.
Later on, it was as if a piece of land had appeared out of thin air and was suppressing the sea.
The earth-shattering tsunami was blocked by this piece of pure land.
As for Gao Shihui's fists, they only left a few marks that were neither deep nor shallow when they landed.
Although the meteorite-like fists landed one after another, the pure land was soon in a mess.
However, at this rate, it wouldn't be possible to completely destroy the pure land in a short period of time.
Seeing that he couldn't win, Master Kong Ru decided to go on the defensive and not lose.
He was at the peak of the Buddhist Dharmakaya realm, the fifth realm of the Infinity Dharmakaya realm. At this moment, he gathered the Infinity Radiant Pure Land and formed a Motionless Fundamental Seal with his hands to support the Vairocana Body. His defensive power instantly reached an unimaginable level.
Even the Northern Mang Great Emperor Gao Shihui's devastating fists couldn't blast Master Kong Ru's Dharmakaya away in a short period of time.
Looking at Master Kong Ru who was sitting motionlessly with his eyes closed and chanting sutras, Gao Shihui's expression was indifferent.
His fists slowed down.
However, Master Kong Ru was shocked and opened his eyes.
Gao Shihui's next punch seemed to be slow but was actually smashing down rapidly.
Along with this punch, an unprecedentedly bright radiance flickered.
It was as if the Milky Way was pouring down from the heavens.
Then, it was destroyed together!
Violent stars burned, expanded, collapsed, and compressed. Countless terrifying powers overlapped and converged into a destructive torrent that poured down on Master Kong Ru's pure land.
The bright Vairocana Body seemed to dim at this moment.
Master Kong Ru's pure land began to be penetrated.
Cracks began to appear on his Dharmakaya.
"Your fist technique …" At this moment, rather than being shocked by his opponent's strength, Master Kong Ru had more doubts in his heart.
This Buddhist monk calmed himself down and guarded his heart, barely withstanding the other party's calamity that was like the destruction of the Milky Way and the end of the world.
However, in the next moment, layers of starlight lit up around him again.
At this moment, his pure land seemed to be placed directly in the middle of the Milky Way.
Then, these countless stars began to explode again!
Gao Shihui was like a divine king who controlled the stars in the sky, cold and indifferent.
The speed of his punches began to increase again, and his fists came out in succession.
As a result, it was as if countless stars were being destroyed one after another on Master Kong Ru's Dharmakaya.
The clear and bright Buddha of Radiance instantly dimmed, tottering on the verge of collapse.
In the distance, the vision of Jiang Zhe and the others was blocked by the strong light, and they could not see the specific situation clearly.
However, they had only seen such a shocking scene before them when the Twelve Yama Kings were rampaging through the world.
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Previously, I saw that he was barely suppressing Kong Ru and was wondering how he could kill Northern Mang Emperor Wei. Now …" Song Rui's voice was hoarse, and he felt his throat dry up.
Hui Xing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly roared at the tottering Buddha of Radiance, "Go! You will really die! "
His sudden roar frightened everyone around him.
Everyone calmed down and did not speak again.
Hui Xing's teeth creaked as he gritted them, but he was suddenly stunned.
He could vaguely see his master's face in the strong light.
The old monk's expression was calm as he smiled at him.
Amidst the shocking explosion, Hui Xing could only barely make out the shape of his mouth, which seemed to be "Even if you are obsessed, do not harm the innocent".
However, before he could take a closer look, the light suddenly became even more dazzling, completely engulfing Master Kong Ru's face.
"Mas …" Hui Xing opened his mouth, and his body unconsciously floated forward.
However, after the starlight dissipated, the Buddhist light was no longer there.
Between the sea and the sky, there was no trace of Master Kong Ru. Only a tall and thin man was left standing.
The fourteenth-realm Buddhist monk had already passed away.
The man turned around, his expression calm, as if everything just now was not worth mentioning.
The next moment, he appeared among the crowd and looked at Xiang Chen, "Let's go and find him."
"As you command." Xiang Chen took a deep breath and hurriedly followed that Northern Mang Emperor.
Song Rui and Tu Lin did the same.
Jiang Zhe glanced at Hui Xing, who seemed to have turned into a statue, and patted his shoulder, "Since you have already made your decision, there is no point in regretting it."
