Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 562 The Butterfly in the Spider Web
Hongtian did not recognize the World Honored One.

After all, in the "pseudo-history," the World Honored One ascended to heaven immediately after attaining enlightenment, and there were no records of this at all. Naturally, Hongtian had no way of knowing the origin of the World Honored One.

However, this did not prevent him from clarifying the current situation.

'This person is the final hurdle in my quest for gold! Like the mysterious True Lord of the past, he comes from the outside world. In any case, killing him will grant me the gold.'

At this moment, Hong Tianfu was enlightened.

He activated the [True Method of Shifting the Positions of Kan and Li], and the [Covering Lamp Fire] transformed into [Heavenly Fire]. With a wave of his hand, an image immediately appeared:

'【Deprivation】!'

Almost simultaneously, the true form of the Buddha, who had descended from the Buddha, also moved, stretching out all 48,000 arms, his palms opening their wisdom eyes to reflect the vast world.

In a daze, Hongtian met the gaze of the forty-eight thousand wise eyes, and seemed to see a magnificent world with forty-eight thousand lotus platforms, where Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, Arhats, and Vajras sat in unison chanting scriptures, and there were also temples, monasteries, pagodas and shrines, stretching as far as the eye could see.

【Jambudvipa Saha Grotto-Heaven】!
In an instant, Hongtian seized countless temples and pagodas from this magnificent cave, yet the Buddha light before him did not dim in the slightest.

"In the end, it was all a pretense."

Seeing this, the true Buddha smiled slightly, showing no intention of resisting: "The fruit of false possession cannot fully utilize the profound mysteries, and there is a limit to its stripping away."

"How much can you possibly take?"

“I have the Saha world of Jambudvipa, with 48,000 lotus thrones, 3,000 disciples, and countless believers, all prepared for you, which you may take away at will.”

Even as He spoke, He continued forward.

The next second, however, flames burst forth, transforming into a rule:
Those whose rights I have stripped should be severely punished.

In an instant, the true form of Tathagata, who was still walking towards Hongtian, was suddenly shaken, and his immaculate and dust-free golden body was instantly filled with heavenly light and flowing fire.

The punishment of being burned alive by heavenly fire!

Even so, the true form of the Buddha remained unmoved, merely holding the Buddha's light in front of his chest, while his forty-eight thousand arms simultaneously formed different hand seals:

"Everything is complete and perfect, there is only joy and no suffering."

As soon as he finished speaking, the true form of Tathagata suddenly became illusory. Then, he took a step forward, and lotus flowers bloomed under his feet, spreading far towards Hongtian.

Immediately afterwards, the true form of the Tathagata appeared, stepping on lotus flowers, and directly escaped the punishment of being burned by heavenly fire, demonstrating the profound mystery of avoiding disaster and calamity. The heavenly fire was about to pursue him, but it was blocked by the lotus flowers under his feet, and he easily left them behind.

'Supermodel!'

Lu Yang was dumbfounded, because this was not some profound fruition or imagery, but the purest of Taoist techniques and spells!

'Is it possible to achieve this without relying on a certain level of attainment?'

'No, that's not right. The key isn't in the fruition of enlightenment, but in that [Jambudvipa Saha Grotto-Heaven]. The Golden Elixir True Lord, the Grotto-Heaven, is the true foundation!'

At this moment, Lü Yang had no other thoughts in his mind.

His eyes were fixed on the true form of the Buddha who had descended, seeking only to see all of His methods so that he could prepare to deal with Him in the present world.

On the other side, Hong Tian remained calm.

Undeniably, the descent of the true Buddha broke with convention; his absolute power shattered all plans and plunged Hongtian into a hopeless situation.

Although it was shameless for the Buddha to fry fish after his descent into the world, it is undeniable that it was very useful.

Even so, Hong Tian, ​​like Lü Yang, had no other distractions in his mind and remained clear-headed, accurately grasping the most important thing at that moment:
'Proof: Heavenly Fire!'

Resisting the true form of the Tathagata is merely a method, not the ultimate goal. One's objective has always been to acquire gold; one must never put the cart before the horse.

In an instant, Hongtian made a decision.

He made no response!
If the true form of the Tathagata wants to kill him, then let him kill me. Let's see if he can kill me faster, or if I can prove the [Heavenly Fire] faster. It's all about fighting for that last sliver of life!
In an instant, the imagery of heaven and earth shifted.

In the vast Foundation Establishment Realm, Buddha's light, fruition status, heavenly fire, and countless other images mingled and merged into a chaotic mass, until finally only a single golden light remained, traversing within it. This was Hongtian's golden nature!
At this moment, he had seemingly given up everything—his physical body, the illusory grotto-heaven—and with only his five supernatural powers supporting his golden nature, he was about to fly into the [Heavenly Fire]!
Almost simultaneously, the two True Lords of the Yama Path, [Changliushui] and [Bishangtu], also shone brightly at this moment, expanding at all costs, turning defense into offense, with countless palaces overlapping, like a gluttonous maw, directly swallowing the true form of Tathagata and the four Paths of Enlightenment!
In an instant, all was silent!
The roadside soil, the flatland wood, the gold foil, the great post station soil, and even the true form of the Tathagata all disappeared, leaving only a clear blue sky.

He's really going all out!
Clearly, Hongtian's self-sacrifice spurred the two True Lords of the Yama Path to equally fierce determination. Simultaneously, in the sky above, two flames condensed into characters amidst their explosive bursts:
Those who attempt to escape should be severely punished.

Those who refuse to kneel before the emperor shall be severely punished.

As the two rules descended, heavenly fires blazed brightly in an instant. The Emperor and the Three Dukes of the Celestial Court, along with the four True Lords, groaned almost simultaneously as heavenly fires ignited on their bodies.

On the other side, the true form of Buddha also frowned.

He could withstand the two heavenly flames, but doing so would cause his condition to drop, making it difficult to break through the obstruction of the two True Monarchs of the Yama Path in an instant.

but--

"If there is only one Heavenly Fire Punishment, it won't be a big problem."

The next second, the true form of the World Honored One, Tathagata, descended without any hesitation. He bent his knees and knelt down in the direction of Hongtian with a loud thud!
Such a undignified and shameless act stunned even Hongtian. At the same time, the true form of Tathagata had already broken through the barrier while kneeling!
This process is extremely brief, like a flash of lightning.

After all, the two True Lords of the Yama Path were practically fighting five against two. Even if they risked serious injury to do so, a moment was already their limit.

The next second, the palace exploded.

"Boom!"

The light from [Wall Soil] and [Long Flowing Water] dimmed instantly, and they were completely defeated. They could only stare wide-eyed in the direction of Hongtian.

Can it be successful?

Is there hope?

At this moment, Lu Yang, who was below, was also looking up at the sky. As a cultivator of the [Heavenly Fire] realm, at the peak of Foundation Establishment, his judgment was even more accurate:
Almost there!

Almost simultaneously, Hong Tian made the same judgment.

There's no time to prove it! The moment before he takes control of [Heavenly Fire], the true form of Tathagata will arrive, grab him, and refine him in an instant!
How to do?
Hong Tian's thoughts raced, countless ideas flashing through his mind, trying to find a solution but finding no clue. Just then, a voice rang out:
"Keep going, give it your all!"

Lü Yang spoke up.

In an instant, Hongtian's hesitation turned into determination. He disregarded the approaching true form of Tathagata behind him and flew madly toward the [Heavenly Fire].

On the other side, the ruins of Zouyu.

Lu Yang raised his head, his expression calm, and a golden talent silently opened up, drawing out all the luck he had accumulated over the years.

Golden Talent - Abundant Blessings!

Golden Talent: Fortune Telling and Lottery Drawing!

The former can separate good fortune, while the latter can draw lots to determine luck. Lü Yang cannot act directly; only the golden talent can intervene without leaving a trace.

The next second, a golden light flashed!

[Moji]!
Although it wasn't a sure victory, it still gave Hongtian a glimmer of hope, as the true form of Tathagata suddenly encountered an obstacle on its way.

This momentary stagnation was caused by the lingering impressions of the two True Lords of Yama and Maha, which "just happened" to slow down the movements of the true form of Tathagata by a fraction of a second.

But that's enough!
In an instant, Hongtian, like a bird finally freed from its cage, spread its wings and soared into the sky—

"Zheng!"

—The sword light that rose slowly from Jiangnan severed everything.

As the bird's wings broke, Hongtian's aura plummeted instantly. He turned around in a daze, only to see the vast net formed by the [Heavenly Kingdom's Supreme Law] falling towards him.

And he was the butterfly caught in the spider web.
