The crowd’s gazes shone with excitement.
From their point of view, the winner of this battle would earn the highest honor in the Heavenly Star realm group.
One of them was a child of Buddha with infinite wisdom, and the other was a disciple of the Peerless Peak—this was destined to be an ultimate showdown!
In Jian Qi’s eyes, a sharp light flashed, turning into solid sword energy that sliced through the air.
He didn’t dare underestimate Wanxin for even a moment.
In this battle, he would fight with all his strength.
Jian Qi stepped forward in the air, his radiance intensifying. Terrifying sword qi whistled around him; in an instant, holy light swords condensed in the air.
Heavy pressure filled the vast space, sending a chill down the spines of the crowd outside the arena.
Looking at the holy light swords tearing through space, whizzing toward Wanxin like they were washing over the sky, everyone stopped breathing and stared fixedly at the combatants.
Several dull noises rang out, tearing open the void as countless holy light swords descended, creating a terrifying storm within the spatial arena.
Wanxin looked up into the air. The countless holy light swords fell, piercing through space-time and suppressing his spiritual will.
He raised his hand, thrusting his palm out at the sky.
The space trembled as primeval qi surged around him. A golden Buddha palm shot out horizontally, as though holding up heaven and earth itself.
Pop, pop. Pop, pop, pop...
Boom, boom. Rumble...
The holy light swords fell like pouring rain from the nine heavens. Each of them could threaten a ninth-level Heavenly Star realm expert.
The holy light swords relentlessly struck the golden Buddha palm, sending violent qi currents through the air. The intense clash between the two forces caused a spectacle that left the onlookers stunned, their hearts racing with fear.
“They’re exchanging blows!”
“How terrifying. This is what an exchange between top-tier, peak Heavenly Star realm experts is like. Even from here, I can feel the crushing pressure!”
“This is definitely an ultimate battle!”
The crowd outside the arena could only shudder, overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of the scene unfolding before them.
The gazes of the other peak Heavenly Star realm experts like Xia Qingyuan, Jiang Chi, and Shi Po became incomparably serious.
As the holy light swords continued to fall relentlessly, the golden Buddha palm finally faltered. It was pierced through, riddled with holes, and shattered.
The crowd went into an uproar.
In the face of the numerous holy light swords sweeping down at him, Wanxin did not panic. He spat out a golden lotus which transformed into six golden ancient characters, suppressing heaven and earth.
“Om! Ma! Ni! Pad! Me! Hum!”
Six-Character Great Bright Mantra!
The six massive, golden characters spun around Wanxin like an impenetrable wall, their divine radiance shining fiercely as the swords of holy light struck and battered against them with no effect.
Jian Qi narrowed his eyes and pressed his palms together.
Immediately, the sword qi gathered into a river and smashed ruthlessly into the six-character mantra, as if trying to wash away the heavens themselves.
Deafening noises resounded through the sky as the arena trembled under the force. Wild storms swept through the surroundings, leaving the crowd in stunned silence.
Suddenly, dazzling golden light erupted from where the storms were congregating, shooting out in all directions. The light seemed capable of melting metal and annihilating space.
As the golden light blossomed, a gigantic Buddha silhouette appeared, standing a thousand feet tall, breaking through the storm.
The light on the golden Buddha grew even more blazingly resplendent.
The space shook violently. The Buddha resembled an invincible golden body, like the ancient Buddha Vajra. It pressed its palms together in front of its chest, lowered its head until its glabella touched its palms, and formed a special dharmic seal. The seal transformed into a massive hand that covered the sky and slowly descended.
The Great Sun Tathagata Palm Seal had extremely firm and powerful Yang properties that could kill all evil in the world.
Its light blazed like the great sun, making it seem like the air was about to vaporize. The powerful palm seal shattered heaven and earth as it crashed downward.
Jian Qi’s expression became extremely solemn. It was said that the Buddhas of the Thousand Autumn Temple were all combat Buddhas, skilled in Buddhist martial arts with extraordinary physiques. This Great Sun Tathagata Palm Seal was an unrivaled fierce palm art.
Pinching his index and middle fingers together and sticking them out like a sword, Jian Qi’s Sword Will surged, growing even stronger. The light around him intensified, and a bright holy sword shot out, breaking through the void like a light beam shooting toward the sky.
Innate Divine Sword Technique!
An incomparably heavy force descended. The bright holy sword and the Great Sun Tathagata Palm Seal collided; the friction unleashed terrifying light.
Endless golden light shone on the Great Sun Tathagata Palm Seal, wrapped in incomparably berserk power as it continued pressing down, trying to destroy Jian Qi’s holy sword.
The holy sword cracked under the pressure but didn’t shatter. Instead, it flew back to Jian Qi.
“Fall.” Wanxin spat out a single word. The Great Sun Tathagata Palm Seal pressed fiercely like an unstoppable force, accelerating with unstoppable force, aiming to completely suppress Jian Qi.
The crowd outside broke out into a commotion.
Is Jian Qi going to lose here?
Looking at the scene in the spatial arena, Chen Fan’s gaze also narrowed.
Wanxin was a little unexpectedly powerful. Even Jian Qi’s Innate Divine Sword Technique couldn’t break through.
“This Wanxin, truly the most outstanding child of Buddha from the Thousand Autumns Temple. He’s already practiced this Great Sun Tathagata Palm Seal to the point of perfection. Impressive. Truly impressive,” Di Chen said from the side.
Yan Weiyi said, “Second Senior Brother, by the looks of it, Seventh Junior Brother is in a pretty bad situation.”
Di Chen smiled faintly and said, “Even if Jian Qi loses, it won’t be so soon. Keep watching. This show has just begun.”
Indeed, the instant Di Chen’s voice faded, Jian Qi reached out with his hand. A sword immediately appeared in his grasp.
This sword was somewhat unusual, being a sawtooth blade, striking fear into people at the sight.
Jian Qi flung the sword.
Immediately, this sword tore through the air like a light ray, whizzing toward the descending Great Sun Tathagata Palm Seal.
Wherever it passed, terrifying vortexes appeared. It seemed to be absorbing everything in heaven and earth, causing this sword’s power to reach a peak before resisting the Great Sun Tathagata Palm Seal.
