Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 571 The Fundamental Mystery of Heavenly Fire!

Despite its apparent implausibility, the true Buddha was no fool; in the next instant, he discerned the truth: 'The possibility of the future within the [pseudo-history].'

'It can only be this!'

In an instant, the Buddha's true form nearly ground its teeth to dust, not because of Lü Yang, but because of the true mastermind behind it all—

'The First Sage.'

After all, if the other party hadn't opened the passage to the "pseudo-history," how could Lü Yang have had any hope of turning the tide? Fighting with that bastard is always like this: you painstakingly plan and devise strategies, only to have the other party make a single move and cause you to lose the whole game.

"Hmm? No!"

The next second, the true form of the Tathagata suddenly awoke, realizing: 'This isn't my emotion, but the World-Honored One's? Is the World-Honored One very angry right now?'

Anger comes quickly, but it also goes quickly.

Ultimately, the true form of the Tathagata and the Dharma form of the Buddha's disciple are the same thing; neither is the actual World Honored One, but rather an enlightened being. In essence, they are still different.

Therefore, he quickly regained his composure.

'The attainment of a Sword Dao rank is probably unstoppable; the Sword Pavilion won't allow it. Moreover, as for the Demon Slayer, the Sword Pavilion doesn't really care whether he becomes a True Monarch.'

To be precise, it was the Sword Pavilion Daoist Master who didn't care.

What truly matters is the True Lord, since no True Lord of the Sword Pavilion would want their painstakingly cultivated sword intent to be influenced by the power of another True Lord.

However, the True Lord has now gone into seclusion.

"Qiang Qiang!"

Without any hindrance, on the Jiangnan Jitian Cliff, the Demon-Slaying True Man's face was deathly pale, and the fragment of light in his hand vanished into nothingness at that moment.

That was given to him by Lü Yang.

In the "pseudo-history," the items left behind by Hongtian, and the future possibility of "attaining the Dao of Sword and surviving," became the lifeline of the Demon-Slaying Master.

However, the Demon-Slaying Master did not spend a single second savoring the feeling of having just become a True Monarch. Instead, he immediately grasped the hilt of the Unkillable Sword at his waist, drew the sword from its sheath, and with a cold light shining through, his figure disappeared from the spot. The next second, the colors of the world changed!

"The sky has cracked!"

From Jiangnan, the crack spread all the way to Jiangdong, splitting the sky and scattering the sun, moon, and stars, turning the boundless light into a sky full of flowing fire.

Countless cultivators unconsciously raised their heads and looked up at the sky.

In their pupils, they all unconsciously saw a sword reflected in the sky, its unparalleled sharpness pointing directly towards the east of the Yangtze River.

At this moment, all sounds were harmonious.

Only a sword rang out, clear and melodious, piercing through gold and splitting stone, and it resolutely slashed towards the true form of the Tathagata, causing the Buddha's face to show a look of astonishment!

'The imagery of the fruition stage. No, it's almost a profound mystery of the fruition stage!'

"Is it possible to have such power even when it is limited to heterodox paths?"

"It has only just been released from the void and has not yet been trained, yet it already possesses such great power and is in charge of killing. It is truly a top-grade sword!"

While pondering, the true form of Tathagata stretched out his 48,000 arms, using the [Yambuddha Saha Cave Heaven] to receive the Demon-Subduing True Man's sword strike.

'No problem, it's still under my control!'

Although he was taken aback by the overwhelming demand for gold from all sides, after calming down, the smile of the true Buddha became colder and more mocking.

the reason is simple--

The future remains unchanged!

He could see clearly that Lü Yang was still in the future where he would fail to obtain gold and die; the process could not change the outcome.

It was just a death throes in the end!
Thinking of this, the true form of Tathagata felt more at ease. However, he did not intend to give Lü Yang any more time to play tricks.

'Kill him!'

In fact, only a few breaths had passed between Lü Yang inheriting the future of "failed to seek gold" and Empress Xiao, Chongguang, and the Demon-Slaying Immortal successively seeking gold. Even so, such a huge change still occurred, which made the true form of Tathagata extremely wary. If he were to let the person in front of him do something else, he might really be able to reverse the situation. Under such killing intent, the true form of Tathagata suddenly made a surprising move.

"Kacha!"

The next second, he actually gave up fighting against the Demon Slayer, letting the sword slash into his body, while all 48,000 arms stretched out at the same time.

The arms were divided into four directions, each with twelve thousand arms, their bones twisting and turning, forming a giant swastika mudra centered on the true form of the Tathagata. Then, forty-eight thousand arms exerted force simultaneously, and two hundred and forty thousand fingers joined together, clenching into a fist.
"Boom!"

In an instant, an indescribable domineering image emerged, with 240,000 fingers clenched into fists, as if holding the entire world in their palms.

The past cannot be retrieved, the future is ever-changing, only the present is real and true!
This is an image of "seizing the present moment." The moment it appears, it is as if time and space have been frozen, and all things are frozen in this very instant.

The greatest sound is silent; all sounds are still.

In the still world, only the fist imprint of the true Buddha slowly advanced, rising step by step, about to strike Lü Yang and utterly shatter him—

".hehe."

The true form of the Buddha suddenly opened his eyes wide.

What did he just see? Lu Yang, whose divine sense had been suppressed by his "seize the moment" imagery and shouldn't have reacted at all.
Laughed?

The true form of Tathagata did not continue to think. His fist still struck Lü Yang's body. Because the inevitable future still clung to him, in order to achieve this future, the true form of Tathagata's punch was blessed by cause and effect, and the image of certain hit and certain kill was added out of thin air.

This restored the true form of the Tathagata's faith.

Even if Lü Yang were merely faking his Golden Core form, and even a legitimate True Monarch were here, such as the [True Monarch Chengtian Zhengde], he would be killed by this punch!
"Boom!"

The next second, time resumed its course, thunder roared, and Lü Yang's body crumbled and disintegrated under the [卍] fist imprint of the true form of Tathagata.

Of course, the true form of Buddha also paid a price.

"Pfft!"

The Demon-Slaying Master's sword light showed no mercy, slashing diagonally into his shoulder, then across his chest, and down to his side abdomen, the sword cutting through without hindrance.

It almost cut him in half at the waist!

"what--!"

The true form of Tathagata cried out in pain, yet his eyes were full of smiles, for he still had a chance. Although the [Immortal Kingdom Laws] had shrunk considerably due to the changes in the imagery of Jiangbei, Jiangxi, and Jiangnan, its foundation remained, allowing him to be resurrected once more, enough to clean up the remaining mess.

'In any case, that demonic dragon is dead and has nowhere to be buried.'

As the true form of Tathagata pondered this, he discovered that for some reason, time was passing incredibly slowly, and even the pain of being struck by the Demon-Subduing Immortal seemed to drag on.

What happened?

The true form of the Tathagata exerted all his divine senses, struggling to think:
'What happened?'

'Something's not right.'

Why?

Finally, after slow and careful thought, the true form of Tathagata discovered the problem: even though Lü Yang was dead, the brilliance of the [Heavenly Fire] had not dimmed.

It actually became brighter.

The next second, he saw a figure stroll out from the bright [heavenly fire], the movements were relaxed, as if it were just a leisurely stroll.

It was Lü Yang!

In an instant, the true form of Tathagata's pupils shrank, completely unable to comprehend what had happened. Until he saw the immense power slowly surging behind Lü Yang.

That is.

The true form of the Buddha looked around and saw only densely packed talismans, as if they were expounding the ultimate truth of the Great Dao, transformed into burning characters.
