A golden Light Array appeared beneath the Buddhist Hall, materializing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The blinding Buddha Light seemed to restore the dilapidated Buddhist Hall to its former glory during Ancient Times!
At the same time, sacred chants also began to resonate throughout the hall!
This sacred chanting had no effect on Lin Yi and the other young talents who had entered the Buddhist Hall but for Su Qingxue, it was like an ultimate nemesis!
She was rendered completely immobile!
A cold look suddenly appeared on Su Qingxue’s face, "Annoying baldies!"
The next second, she blasted out a palm strike, and the terrible evil energy transformed into a storm, ravaging everything in its path!
It incinerated the corpses of hundreds of monks into dust in an instant!
Only the body of the emaciated old monk at the very front remained!
Yet it was from this very old monk’s corpse that a dazzling Buddha Light suddenly burst forth, coalescing into a massive "om" symbol in midair!
It hurtled towards Su Qingxue with ferocious speed!
The moment Su Qingxue was hit by the "om" symbol, her body was violently thrown backward!
She was forcefully pinned against the wall by the "om" of the Buddhist faith!
It seemed as though every bone in her body had been shattered!
She couldn’t move a muscle!
"The devil has been suppressed!"
Surprise and joy appeared on the faces of Lin Yi and his companions—they hadn’t expected the fallen old monk to have preserved his will, capable of opposing Su Qingxue, the Outer Realm Demon!
Indeed, he had forcefully suppressed her.
However, Su Qingxue, now crushed under the "om" Buddha Seal, with all her bones shattered, suddenly revealed a sneering expression, "Old bald donkey, you couldn’t kill me when you were alive, let alone now that you’re dead?"
Hearing this, swathes of purple Demon Fire immediately surged from Su Qingxue, swiftly consuming the "om" Buddha Seal!
The Buddha Seal was incinerated by the Demon Fire into nothingness!
Lin Yi’s expression changed dramatically as he watched Su Qingxue break free before she smashed a palm against the body of the old monk!
That palm, wrapped in Demon Flames, struck the monk’s body with the speed of lightning, blowing it into pieces.
As the monk’s body shattered, a golden light shot out from within—it was the Buddha Relic!
Upon seeing the Buddha Relic emerge, all the Heavenly Prides in the hall had their eyes light up and scrambled toward it in a rush!
But as they came close to the Buddha Relic, beams of light erupted from within it, propelling them away!
They couldn’t even touch the Buddha Relic!
"Lin Yi, seize that Buddha Relic!"
It was at that moment Little Jin telepathically communicated to Lin Yi, "If you can obtain the Buddha Relic, you might still have a chance!"
Lin Yi’s expression instantly became serious. The Buddha Relic was the source of the old monk’s power. Although the old monk had perished, he was still able to counter Su Qingxue, thanks to the power of this Buddha Relic.
Without any hesitation, Lin Yi darted towards the Buddha Relic, only to see a golden beam of light shoot out sharply from it!
Lin Yi’s expression changed as he was about to exert all his strength to block the Buddha Light, but the golden beam that hit him was much less harmful than he had imagined.
He was actually able to swallow it down!
Could it be because he had assimilated a Bodhi Seed?
Although surprised in his heart, Lin Yi didn’t think too much and directly reached out to grab the Buddha Relic!
Seeing Lin Yi obtaining the Buddha Relic, a cold gleam flashed through Su Qingxue’s eyes, and without a second word, she sped towards him at a stunning speed!
Feeling a piercing killing intent coming his way, Lin Yi’s expression darkened. Su Qingxue at her current level was not someone he could contend with. If she caught up to him, the odds were likely grim.
Without hesitating further, Lin Yi directly stuffed the Buddha Relic into his mouth and swallowed it!
"Is this kid crazy? Swallowing a Buddha Relic without a care for his own life?"
Witnessing this scene, the other young Heavenly Prides present showed shocked expressions on their faces. This Buddha Relic was the essence left by a monk in the Venerable Realm, containing extremely domineering power. How could Lin Yi, with his mere Grandmaster Realm cultivation, dare to swallow such an item directly?
Wasn’t he afraid of bursting?
As expected, after devouring the Buddha Relic, an extremely violent power burst forth from within Lin Yi’s body!
His body swelled up like a golden balloon, as if it might explode at any moment.
"It seems I don’t need to lift a finger, this kid is about to bring about his own destruction!"
A mocking light flared in "Su Qingxue’s" eyes. How dare a minor Grandmaster Realm powerhouse swallow a Buddha Relic so rashly? He was courting death!
In just a moment, Lin Yi’s body would likely explode, scattering into pieces!
However, as Lin Yi’s body rapidly expanded, and everyone thought his chances of survival were slim, his body that seemed inflated to the brim suddenly shrunk back down at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The terrifying force of the Buddha Relic was actually suppressed by Lin Yi’s meat body!
In the next instant, Lin Yi’s entire body was enveloped in a golden Buddha Light, resembling a young Buddha’s son.
"What? He’s not dead?"
"Su Qingxue’s" pupils suddenly contracted. Had this kid successfully suppressed the power of the Buddha Relic?
The next second, "Su Qingxue" swiftly took action, her figure flashing and suddenly appearing in front of Lin Yi.
To kill him before he could fully harness the power of the Buddha Relic!
Lin Yi changed his expression and had no choice but to toughen up and meet her with a punch, clashing hard against "Su Qingxue."
However, the moment Lin Yi threw his punch, a golden Buddha Light blossomed at the fist’s edge!
They collided, and Lin Yi and Su Qingxue were both sent flying backward almost simultaneously.
Lin Yi’s face showed astonishment. He knew that with his own strength, he couldn’t possibly contend against Su Qingxue, now possessed by the Hell Evil Clan. It was the power of the Buddha Relic that gave him the capability to match Su Qingxue!
"You’ve just ingested a Buddha Relic, let this venerable see how much of its power you can utilize!"
Su Qingxue’s gaze turned icy, her Demon Flames intensifying, and she struck at Lin Yi like lightning.
Several ferocious attacks forced Lin Yi to retreat repeatedly!
It was clear that Lin Yi could not fully control the power of the Buddha Relic and was at a distinct disadvantage in the fight against Su Qingxue!
Just as Lin Yi was being completely overwhelmed by Su Qingxue,
A very faint voice resonated within Lin Yi’s mind, "Use... the power of the Futu Sacred Tower..."
"The Futu Sacred Tower?"
Lin Yi’s face revealed a look of astonishment.
