Chapter 483: Chapter 438, Bai Jin Breakthrough.
Randeng Buddha maintained his composure, having already witnessed Bai Jin’s application of Laws before and found a countermeasure. Smiling, he spoke, "Bai Jin, you have not become a Quasi-Saint, and your mana is limited. By wielding so much Power of Laws, just how long do you think you can last?"
Bai Jin calmly replied, "Let’s try and find out."
Bang~
Bang~
Bang~
Bai Jin operated the Big Array, reinforcing it with the Tao Rhythm to fight both adversaries. Against one he was fearless, but confronted by two Quasi-Saints, Bai Jin seemed overextended. After all, he wasn’t a true Quasi-Saint, and handling Laws with Da Luo Power was too much of a strain.
Soon after, Bai Jin was drenched in sweat, his internal mana utterly depleted.
Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said, "We have already witnessed the Emperor’s capabilities. For a Daluo being to block Quasi-Saints, you’ve indeed made an unparalleled impact with no precedents. Now, Emperor, it might be best for you to retreat to avoid losing face."
Randeng, too, smiled at Bai Jin, "How much longer can you hold on?"
Bai Jin let out a long sigh and said, "Both Fellow Daoists are right, indeed, my mana is running low, but..."
With a wave of his hand, a row of Flat Peaches and two Jade Bottles appeared in front of him. Smiling triumphantly, Bai Jin said, "But I have Flat Peaches and Nine Revolutions Golden Pills!" He took a bite of a Flat Peach, and surges of mana bloomed within him, his complexion instantly becoming rosy.
Bai Jin raised the bitten Peach, earnestly recommending, "The Heavenly Court’s Purple Pattern Flat Peach, it’s great for restoring vitality - you deserve to have it!"
Randeng and Guanyin Bodhisattva were dumbstruck. The Purple Pattern Flat Peach, a rare supreme Spirit Root in Primordial World; even a sniff could enhance one’s comprehension during training. Used in the right place, it could very well boost a Daluo Golden Immortal’s prowess. And now in his hands, it was merely a supplement for vitality? And the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, sacred items rarely seen; what a waste, what a waste!
Randeng cried out in anger, "Ci Hang, strike with all your might."
Guanyin, too, was enraged, "Kill Bai Jin, seize the Flat Peaches, kill Bai Jin, seize the Golden Pills!"
Bai Jin, one bite of Flat Peach, one bite of Golden Pill, fought fiercely against the two Quasi-Saints.
Randeng and Guanyin attacked with full force, and Bai Jin’s pressure escalated. Even with Flat Peaches and Golden Pills for replenishment, his Primordial Spirit suffered extreme exhaustion from wielding six distinct, powerful Laws. Before long, Bai Jin was suffering a splitting headache and falling behind under the aggressive assault from Randeng and Guanyin.
...
Guanyin Bodhisattva held a bell collar, ding ding ding~ gently shaking it, a torrent of purple flames accompanied by thick smoke and ferocious wind swept towards Bai Jin, concealing everything, incinerating everything, truly menacing.
Bang~ A massive fireball slammed into Bai Jin’s chest, throwing him backward into the sky, coughing repeatedly as he clutched his chest, his eyes reddened from the smoke.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, untouched by the chaos, approached Bai Jin, enshrouded in Buddha Light, her presence divine and extraordinary.
A layer of dense sweat formed on Bai Jin’s forehead, and with a decisive look in his eyes, he gritted his teeth, "Randeng, Ci Hang, you forced my hand. Hope you won’t regret this."
Randeng Buddha wore a cold sneer, what tactics do you still have left?
With one step forward from Bai Jin, hum~ above his head appeared an enormous Qingyun, from which countless Merit Coins clattered down like rain, dazzling to behold, with three blossoms swaying amidst the rain of Merit.
With Bai Jin’s second step, russle~ a lotus slowly bloomed revealing a shadow within, the chiming sound of the grand Tao resounding, auspicious clouds whirling, with the rise of Immortal music.
Randeng’s eyes widened in shock, exclaiming, "Bai Jin, you seek to break through to a Quasi-Saint!"
Guanyin also knitted her brows slightly. He is already difficult to deal with; if he breaks through to be a Quasi-Saint, how can that be managed? She immediately spoke, "Brother, please hold on." A thousand eyes opened in the palms of her thousand hands, all fixed on Bai Jin.
Bai Jin’s gaze wavered for a moment, and a thought emerged in his heart, "Give up! It’s not the time to break through. The foundation is insufficient, and I can’t make it through. Better to give up~"
Hum~
A piece of Merit Money flew out from above the Qingyun, fiercely burning in the air.
Bai Jin immediately woke up, glanced at Guanyin, and shouted furiously: "Slash~"
Crack~ There was a thunderous sound in the void.
Above the Qingyun, a white-clothed young man leaped out of the lotus, bearing an eight parts resemblance to Bai Jin. With a few white feathers inserted on top of his head, he appeared carefree and unrestrained. Turning to look at Randeng and Guanyin, he performed a cupped fist salute and said with a smile: "White Crane pays respects to the two Fellow Daoists!" Turning into a white crane, he flew into the Qingyun and entered the lotus.
Bai Jin’s aura erupted vigorously, like a long-suppressed volcano surging and raging, while in his heart resonated the thought that the Heavenly Tribulation was imminent.
Randeng and Guanyin turned serious at once—Bai Jin had broken through to Quasi-Saint.
Bai Jin looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, I am still looking forward to your guidance." He stepped toward them.
Guanyin Bodhisattva shook the Purple Gold Bell, and boom boom boom, two Fire Dragons flew out, charging towards Bai Jin.
Bai Jin reached out and pointed at the Fire Dragons. Two Merit Coins flew out and were swallowed by the Fire Dragons. A flash of gold gleamed in the dragons’ eyes, and they turned and charged towards Guanyin Bodhisattva even faster, like two streaks of fire.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was caught off guard, and with a thud~ was struck by the two Fire Dragons. She cried out in shock and burst forth with golden light in full effort to block, but still, she was hit squarely by the Fire Dragons, creating a massive swirling pillar of fire with billowing black smoke.
The figure of Randeng Buddha appeared beside Bai Jin in a flash, and with a withered palm emanating the Silent Annihilation Dao, every line on his palm seemed to pull a world into the brink of Nirvana.
Bai Jin met him with a palm strike of his own, boom~ the Daos clashed, and both were sent flying backward.
Bai Jin floated down and landed on the Eight Diagram Platform at the center of the Array, making a sword finger gesture upwards and shouted, "Turn!"
Countless mystical Runes emerged within the Sword Array, and the boundless and empty Array Space underwent a massive change. Above, a projection of a world appeared with endless mountains and rivers and lush vegetation, each stone, grass, and leaf carrying a sharp Sword Intent.
The previously blank space below also transformed into a pitch-black space, like an Endless Abyss, containing great terror as if it wanted to bury and devour all Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
A realization rose in Bai Jin’s heart—this Sword Array, jointly refined by Nuwa and Peace Heart Lady, was finally displaying its true power.
Randeng and Guanyin Bodhisattva were also warily observing the changes in the Sword Array. The previously formidable Array instantly became fraught with deadly threats, and even they felt their courage falter; they were afraid they were in for a significant loss today.
Bai Jin laughed heartily and said, "Fellow Daoists, please do not hesitate to enlighten me."
The Sword Array activated, instantly trapping Randeng and Guanyin Bodhisattva within it.
...
Above the islands in the outside world, the Hundred Schools Disciples were still battling with the Demon Clan, the Golden Dragon and Orochi fighting fiercely, Fusang Island being shattered to pieces, and the land shaking as if it was about to fall into destruction.
The Law Enforcement Team was held back by the Demon Saints of the Demon Clan, Wudang Saint Mother, Queen Mother of the Turquoise Pool was each entangled by the Buddha and Bai Ze Demon Saint.
The Heavenly Emperor countered the Kunpeng Demon Master, and the current situation was no longer just about the establishment of the Demon Country, it was also a struggle for the status between the Heavenly Court, Buddhism, and the Demon Clan. If the Heavenly Court wins, it will surely surpass Buddhism and the Demon Clan; if the Demon Clan and Buddhism win, the Heavenly Court will suffer great damage to its reputation, and in the dark, Qi Fortune will be suppressed by Buddhism and the Demon Clan.
And now, the key to victory didn’t lie in the battles of the many Great Powers but in the Lower Realm, on Fusang Island. If the Luck Golden Dragon wins, the Heavenly Court will be victorious; if Orochi wins, then the Demon Clan and Buddhism will prevail.
The eyes of the Great Powers of the Three Realms all turned towards East Sea, where the situation was critical for the future direction of the Primordial World. Even the Great Powers who had once descended to preach in the Lower Realms dared not interfere now, the implication for the future of Primordial World too vast, the karma too severe, enough to drag these Primordial Great Powers into the next Calamity.
...
From the North, dark clouds drifted, and within them, massive sea beasts occasionally revealed parts of their bodies.
Many of the Primordial Great Powers also turned pale—Kunpeng Demon Master had actually dispatched the North Sea Behemoths.
In the Heavenly Court, within the Palace of the Polestar, the Heavenly Emperor frowned and said with gravity, "North Sea Behemoths!"
