This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 635 No Regrets Once a Move is Made, the Nation War Begins!
The power of the Vajra Nirvana Array of the Great Sun Tathagata surged in from all directions like a tide, turning the sky gold.

Above the sky, chanting filled the air, golden lotuses bloomed, and celestial dragons roamed freely.

White pagodas appeared out of nowhere, surrounding Wenren Zheng.

The eight evil spirits surrounding him vanished the moment the formation took shape.

The great formation only trapped Wenren Zheng, but did not trap the more than 8,000 imperial guards outside. The two sides were isolated in space, and the military spirits lost their power support, so they all dissipated.

Wenren was sensing the sudden appearance of the great formation and was somewhat surprised.

Even with the combined power of the entire Great Blue Dynasty, the Xuanqiong Yuji True Dragon Formation could only cover the entire imperial palace.

Although Buddhism has a thousand-year history, it is not necessarily much better than the Great Blue Dynasty in this matter.

If the Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Formation could spread from Pudu Temple all the way to Vajra City, its range would cover almost half of the province!
The larger the range of the formation, the more dispersed its power.

However, the power of the Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Formation that Wenren Zheng sensed at this moment was not much weaker than the one he had faced before.

"Has the power shifted?"

Wenren Zheng quickly realized something.

He didn't think that Buddhism's mastery of formations could surpass that of the Great Blue Dynasty by much, after all, the Xuanqiong Yuji Zhenlong Formation embodied the highest level of formation mastery in the entire Taoist school!

The Buddhist and Taoist schools are at roughly the same level in this regard.

Since there has been no qualitative improvement in the formation, the only possibility is a change in the method.

The Buddhists likely transferred the power of the Vajra Nirvana Array of the Great Sun Tathagata from the Buddhist capital to Vajra City!
As soon as the great formation was activated, Buddha-Eye Heavenly King's mind raced, and his figure transformed into a phantom overflowing with golden-red Buddhist light, like a weary bird returning to its nest or a drop of water falling into the sea, instantly merging into the great formation that was radiant with light and resounding with Buddhist chants.

Wenren Zheng stretched out his right hand, using his body as a furnace, and his vast blood and qi surged and roared like a raging sea!
His tough bones and muscles clanged like divine iron, and his acupoints were like stars exploding, bursting forth with astonishing energy; the martial arts power condensed to the extreme within his body transformed into tens of thousands of violent sharp rays.

Qi and blood, tendons and bones, acupoints, and strength—all forces are frantically converging, compressing, and condensing!
In an instant, the space in front of Wenren's outstretched right hand twisted violently, as if a black hole that swallowed light had collapsed, with countless mournful battlefield ghosts wailing and swirling within it.

Finally, a long spear, as black as ink, materialized, its shaft wreathed in tangible crimson aura and black smoke.

This is the spear of a military strategist, condensed from the power of a million soldiers!

Wenren Zheng gripped the gun barrel tightly with all his might, his arm muscles bulging like a dragon, and all his strength poured into it.

The next moment, he thrust the spear upwards with a force that could shake the heavens and earth and overturn the universe—

Wherever the gun tip pointed, space shattered inch by inch, emitting a tooth-grinding groan!

Wherever the spear thrusts, it seems as if millions of war souls roar in unison, carrying with them the overwhelming military ferocity of mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and the collapse of dynasties!
They wanted to completely pierce through and overturn this world shrouded in Buddha's light!
The brilliant Buddha light flowed rapidly, instantly condensing into several dignified and solemn Bodhisattva images.

Manjushri holds a sword of wisdom, Samantabhadra rides a white elephant, and Ksitigarbha holds a precious pearl. Each has a wondrous appearance and recites true mantras.

This is a 'barrier' formed by Buddha-Eye Heavenly King through the 'All Lights Return to Buddha'.

At the same time, the vast Taiyi True Water surrounding the great formation also surged back like the Milky Way, roaring and transforming into a deep blue water dragon with distinct scales and ferocious claws.

The dragon's body is as large as a mountain range, containing the ultimate softness and resilience, and the immense power of water that can dissolve all weight, coiling behind the Bodhisattva's image.

This is the second line of defense formed by Qin Mingli using the [Taiyi Heshui] technique.

boom--! ! !
The pitch-black spear tip struck the Bodhisattva statue at the very front without any fancy moves.

The majestic golden body, which embodied boundless wisdom and Buddhist power, shattered and broke apart like fragile glass the moment it came into contact with the spear tip.

Golden fragments of Buddha's light scattered across the sky, and the chanting abruptly ceased.

The spear thrust remained undiminished, piercing straight at the water dragon.

"hold head high--!"

The water dragon let out a painful wail as its resilient body, strong enough to bear mountains and extinguish thunder, was pierced and torn apart by the extreme destructive power contained in the spear tip.

The massive dragon body snapped into several pieces, exploding into a cloud of icy water mist!

The remaining force of the spear continued upwards, crashing violently against the white pagodas that formed the foundation of the great formation.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
Like a heavy hammer smashing into a crystal goblet, the white pagodas, inscribed with supreme Buddhist scriptures and exuding a peaceful aura, could not withstand even a moment of impact from the Fiend's spear and were annihilated one after another!

The pagoda collapsed, the Buddhist inscriptions disintegrated, and turned into a shower of light that drifted across the sky.

However, this shot was ultimately worn down by the layers of defense, failing to break through the enemy's lines in one fell swoop.

Within the great formation, all the previous strange phenomena were reborn from the ashes!
This is precisely the most powerful aspect of the Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Formation!
"Wenren Zheng, now that you're here, don't leave—"

The voice of Buddha-Eye Heavenly King resounded within the great formation.

When Qingxu rebelled, he set up a large formation in Ming Province, intending to establish a Daoist kingdom on Earth.

One of its core features is power transfer, which allows Qingxu to transfer his power to any corner of Ming Province, even if he is in the Daluo Sect.

Qingxu's mastery of formations is unparalleled. Back then, Jingheng traveled to Ming Province with his natal magic weapon and witnessed the grand formation set up by the other side.

The Buddhist tradition of transferring the power of the Vajra Nirvana Array of Mahavairocana to the four other arrays, including Vajra and Bodhi, was inspired by Qingxu.

Of course, when Qingxu wanted to form the array, he still needed to use eight hundred years of Taoist fortune.

The Buddhists are now transferring the power of the Vajra Nirvana Array of the Great Sun Tathagata, which is also consuming the national fortune of the Western Kingdom every minute and every second.

Besides, although the power of the great formation has been transferred, the great formation itself is still within Pudu Temple, so Jingheng cannot directly use the national fortune to participate in the war as before.

There are only a few ways in this world to directly influence the fate of a nation from a distance.

One of them is the Xuanqiong Yuji Zhenlong Grand Array, which can bestow the nation's fortune upon others from thousands of miles away.

Secondly, there is Li Fei's [Jing'an] supernatural power.

Thirdly, there is the ability of Jinglian after she 'breaks her limits'.

When Wenren Zheng saw that Jingheng had not used the Buddha's words to consume the nation's fortune to condense the Martial Saint's incarnation within the great formation, he immediately knew that the great formation in front of him was not the 'original' one.

"You want to trap me and drag me out until the Heavenly King of the Rivers returns?"

Wenren was drawing his gun while calmly thinking.

He was pondering the Buddhists' intentions in doing this.

Even if they manage to delay until Zhenhe Tianwang returns in time, not to mention the energy consumed by the other side traveling at full speed in such a short time, there is still Xuanxin Zhenjun on the Dalan Dynasty's side who has not yet made a move.

What makes Buddhism believe it can win?
But if the other side isn't confident, what's the point of wasting national resources and trapping ourselves now?

Above the sea of ​​clouds, Xuanxin Zhenjun, dressed in a Taoist robe, watched the battle ahead expressionlessly.

He watched as Jinglian, aided by the nation's fortune and the Buddha's words, fought against the Qing Shuang army, and watched as Wenren was temporarily trapped by the Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Formation.

If he were to intervene now, whether to help the Qing Shuang Army deal with Jing Lian or to help Wenren Zheng break the formation, he could immediately change the course of the battle!

But Xuanxin Zhenjun remained an observer from beginning to end.

Wenren Zheng had never given him any orders.

Although members of the Shangqing Sect serve as officials in the imperial court, the Shangqing Sect and the Da Lan Dynasty are allies.

Wenren Zheng had no way to directly command a True Lord.

Just as Ye Ze'an had analyzed, the best situation for the Shangqing Sect was for the Great Blue Dynasty to continue its stalemate with the Western Extreme Kingdom, with neither side able to determine a winner.

In this way, the Shangqing Sect can continue to 'develop' with the help of the Great Blue Dynasty's resources, without worrying about being abandoned after using them.

Therefore, when the Great Blue Dynasty was at a disadvantage and might be destroyed in one fell swoop, True Lord Xuanxin participated in battles everywhere and contributed his efforts every time.

However, when the Great Blue Dynasty gained the upper hand and planned to destroy the Western Kingdom, True Lord Xuanxin stopped intervening.

This time, Wenren Zheng took the initiative to lead his army into the Western Kingdom. Xuanxin Zhenjun had told Wenren Zheng beforehand that he would only come to his rescue if Wenren Zheng or Qingshuang Army were in danger.

They hoped he would help the Great Blue Dynasty repeatedly weaken the Western Kingdom and help destroy it.

They're not stupid.

Seeing the stalemate, Xing Sinan, the commander of the Qing Shuang Army, immediately activated a remote communication artifact to report the situation to Lan Lingcheng.

Lanling City.

Royal study room.

Qin Ziheng, who was playing chess with Ye Ze'an, received intelligence from the Western Regions immediately.

He frowned slightly and reported the situation to Ye Ze'an.

"What does the Prime Minister believe the Buddhists are trying to achieve with this action?"

In the original calculations, Wenren was leading his troops into the Western Kingdom, and the Buddhist response should have been to defend with all their might and wait for the return of the River-Suppressing Heavenly King.

Wenren Zheng would naturally withdraw his troops at that time. However, since the other side is willing to sacrifice national resources to trap Wenren Zheng and has taken the initiative to attack, we have no choice but to respond.

Ye Ze'an: "Your Majesty, let Li Fei take Xu Chihan over there."

Regardless of the Buddhists' scheming, the fact that the Great Blue Dynasty has gained an extra ninth-grade beast is definitely beyond their expectations!

Upon hearing this, Qin Ziheng looked solemnly at the intertwined chess pieces on the chessboard.

The game has entered the endgame, but the situation remains unclear, and it's impossible to tell who will win.

"My father devoted himself to his work, and the Imperial Preceptor worked tirelessly until his death."

"Throughout my life, I have walked on thin ice. Do you think I can win this round?"

Snapped!
Qin Ziheng placed a chess piece on the chessboard.

No regrets for making a move.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, a black boat sped by.

Li Fei suddenly stopped the black boat.

"Duke?"

Zhao Jin and Hua Yanjun both turned to look at Li Fei.

"You steer the black boat back to Lanling City. I have other matters to attend to."

Li Fei simply said a few words, handed over control of the Black Boat to Zhao Jin, and then used [Distanceless] to leave.

On the black boat, the two men looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Tell me, what is it that's so important?"

Zhao Jin looked at Hua Yanjun.

Hua Yanjun pursed his lips, his expression somewhat solemn.

The only thing that could make the Duke of Jing'an leave in such an emergency could be a matter of national importance!
"Another war is brewing."

Hua Yanjun looked in the direction of the Western Kingdom and murmured.

Above the azure sky, a sea of ​​clouds surges.

The strong winds continued.

In the void, Li Fei stood on a huge black scale.

To be precise, he was standing on the massive body of a whale, though most of its body was faintly visible in the void. He was standing on a scale, as if he were standing on a dark mountain peak.

"Go faster."

Li Fei urged Xu Chi Clams on with his telepathic communication.

Xu Chihan: "Given my size, if I were to be any faster, by the time I get there with you, I won't have much strength left."

Li Fei: "It's alright, I'll provide you with the power."

After saying that, he began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with all his might.

There was also a large amount of pure spiritual energy in the void. At this moment, it was like a huge underwater vortex suddenly appearing on the sea. The vast spiritual energy was continuously absorbed into Li Fei's body!

At the same time, he activated the [Refining Objects] divine power, and after simply refining the absorbed spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he passed it on to Xu Chihan.

Supported by the primordial energy of heaven and earth, the Void Clam did not waste any words and accelerated its teleportation speed.

If Li Fei were to continuously use [Distanceless] on his own, he would reach the Western Kingdom faster than Xu Chihan.

However, the important combat force of Xuchi Han cannot be left unused under any circumstances.

Li Fei feared that if he arrived first, the other party would deliberately linger behind, and by the time Xu Chihan arrived, the most crucial moment of the battle would have been missed.

With Li Fei's help, Xu Chihan's speed increased.

But as it said, it was too big, and its speed in the void couldn't be very fast.

"What is Buddhism's trump card? Could it be that they have already persuaded Taiyu?"

Li Fei assisted Xu Chihan while pondering the matter.

“But if Taiyu is persuaded, the best time to make a move would have been when I followed him into the gates of the Daluo Sect. If he had trapped me with a great formation and then sent the Zhenhe Heavenly King back, I would have been in great danger.”

For a moment, Li Fei couldn't think of what the Buddhists could rely on to dare to launch a national war at this time.

"Could it be that because the Heavenly King of Zhenhe failed to persuade Taiyu, the Buddhists had no choice but to start the war prematurely and take a desperate gamble?"

Li Fei thought of a possibility.

If this continues, it will wait until the White Flame Army has completely swept across the grasslands and until he has led his troops to completely conquer the two great desert kingdoms.

Even until he breaks through the realm and reaches the top.

At that point, Buddhism will have no chance at all.

Therefore, seeing that he could not persuade Taiyu, it was indeed the only and best option to launch a war while the other party was still hesitant and had not yet sided with the Great Blue Dynasty.

Li Fei thought about it more and more and it made more sense.

In this case, his journey might be the final battle!
"Alright."

Li Fei stared at the void ahead, his eyes resolute.

He never imagined that the enemy would be foolish enough to wait until he was fully prepared before making a move.

Although the decisive battle came suddenly, Li Fei had already prepared himself for it.

Then let’s fight!

West Pole Country.

King Kong Castle.

Eight celestial warriors surrounded the blue giant, occasionally transforming into various weapons to join the giant in attacking the formation ahead.

The Pure Lotus Man did not appear. His formation was called "Pure Land Reincarnation," and consisted of a total of 108 Buddha statues forming a grand formation.

These Buddha statues were smashed time and time again, and then restored time and time again.

He is blessed by the nation's fortune and the Buddha's teachings, and can temporarily rival the top combat power.

However, it was too much for one person to deal with the Azure Frost Army, a group of powerful warriors from the Great Blue Dynasty, and more than 8,000 Imperial Guards at the same time.

Jinglian's formation is gradually showing signs of collapse!

Inside Vajra City, suddenly a Buddha statue, a human figure, and a warrior entered the Pure Land Reincarnation.

However, it was the great Arhats, temple guardian Vajras, and more than three thousand monks who came out of the city to aid Jinglian.

With their help, the situation stabilized temporarily, but Jinglian's side was still at a disadvantage.

Although Wenren Zheng was trapped in the sky, his life was not in danger.

On the contrary, the Buddhist forces were gradually losing ground on the battlefield below.
Hua la la la——

At one moment, the sound of a mighty torrent of water suddenly came from the distant horizon.

The next second, a golden river flew out from the void, like a dragon swooping down and crashing into the blue giant!

The River-Suppressing Heavenly King has arrived!
The azure giant immediately turned and threw a punch, fully activating the [Azure God's Frost Prison] to try and freeze the incoming martial arts river.

But the golden river, which had just frozen over, shattered with a crash, and its offensive remained fierce.

Boom! ! !

The golden river knocked the blue giant off balance, then wrapped around its massive body.

The first thing Zhenhe Tianwang did upon arriving was not to enter the battle to deal with Wenren Zheng, but to take care of Qingshuang Army first!

Jinglian also launched a counterattack immediately, but his strengths were in defense and attrition, and even though he had temporarily reached the peak level, his attack power was limited.

The golden river coiled around the blue giant like a giant python, locking him tightly in place.

The Heavenly King of the River Suppressor emerged from the void and punched the head of the blue giant.

boom! ! !
The blue giant's head was concave and covered in cracks.
Within the army formation, over a hundred Imperial Guards died from the blow of the River-Suppressing Heavenly King!
