Chapter 2760 Finish Him!

Chapter 2760 Finish Him!

The four Brahma Lords’ faces darkened as they were called bald monks one after another. Shiye, however, remained calm as ever. “You deal with the three remnants of Fangchun Mountain. Remember, do not harm Lin Xun. As for old Yan Ji’s will dharma form, I will handle it.”

As his words fell, the thirty-six-petaled jade lotus beneath his feet roared to life, lifting him into the air. With a solemn motion, he swung down the purple gold Demon-Subduing Pestle in his hand.

Boom!

Vast, blazing law power condensed into a single beam of purple-gold light, crashing toward Yan Ji.

“Today I’ll show you that even a will dharma form is not something a nobody like you can destroy!” Yan Ji gave a cold snort. As his sleeve billowed, a torrent of brilliant sword qi burst forth.

A battle erupted. The two clashed in the skies, waging a fierce battle at the Transcendence level.

Yan Ji was truly terrifying. Even as a will dharma form, his words carried law and his sword intent veiled the heavens. With every slash, it was as though he would tear apart the eternal azure dome and shatter the barriers of the great dao. His dominance was boundless. That momentum and that might were like the rebirth of a legendary sword god!

Shiye was no less terrifying. He was a true Transcendence powerhouse, one of the nine Buddha Venerables of the Zen Sect. His age was unfathomably ancient, and he had stepped into this realm tens of thousands of years ago.

The thirty-six-petaled jade lotus beneath his feet was condensed from his immortal laws, while the Purple-Gold Demon-Subduing Pestle in his hand was the supreme treasure that commanded the Golden Light Dharma Realm. In the clash with Yan Ji, he was in no way inferior!

Boom!

Where the two collided, the battlefield turned to chaos, turmoil roared, destruction raged, and an aura of annihilation spread in all directions. If such a clash had erupted in the outside world, who could imagine how many cities and rivers would be wiped from existence?

However, Lin Xun had no time to concern himself with such things. Because while this battle was raging, the four Brahma Lords, Hong Ke, Hong Jing, Hong Yi and Hong Yuan, had already made their move, striking in unison.

The Brahma Lords of the Zen Sect were equivalent to the elder figures of the three pavilions of the Origin Sect. Having been at the Nirvana Spirit Stage for countless years, they were true old monsters, beings who had walked the world for no less than ten thousand years!

At this moment, as the four Brahma Lords acted together, an unmatched killing intent surged forth, sweeping across the heavens like a boundless tide.

“Arrogant!” Hong Ke’s solemn voice resounded, his expression dignified as he raised the snow-white rosary in his hand. At once, one hundred and eight phantom Buddhas surged forth, descending in a suppressive attack.

Boom!

Hong Jing was like an enraged Vajra, wielding a black discipline ruler. A vision of a thousand-year-old stupa rose behind him as he struck down, shattering the void into dust. Hong Yi, silent as a shadow, advanced with a withered wooden Zen staff in hand, his aura locking tightly onto Xue Ya.

“Little friend, do not resist, or you will only bring needless suffering upon yourself.”

Meanwhile, Hong Yuan, smiling gently with kind eyes, swept forward with a bronze lantern in hand.

At once, Lin Xun also transmitted his decision to Pu Zhen and Xue Ya, “Senior brothers, follow my plan. Together, we’ll finish off these old baldies.”

The situation was dire and he dared not conceal anything. This battle had to be resolved swiftly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

“Alright.”

Without hesitation, Pu Zhen and Xue Ya moved to shield Lin Xun at the center. Pu Zhen swung his pitch-black hoe, while Xue Ya unfurled his dao scroll, meeting the incoming assaults head-on.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun summoned the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron. At once, it erupted with billions of radiant beams, forming a shield of light that enveloped all three of them. Suddenly, Pu Zhen and Xue Ya keenly sensed that the oppressive suppression the Golden Light Dharma Realm had exerted on their cultivation had completely dissolved. Their spirits immediately lifted.

Boom!

The battle erupted, plunging the scene into utter chaos.

In an instant, shadows of Buddhas swept across the sky, performing various unfathomable secret arts. Each strike of the black discipline ruler conjured the vision of a Buddhist stupa subduing the world. Threads of dim yet crystal-clear light flashed like blades and swords, brimming with unmatched sharpness. These were the killing power unleashed from the withered wooden zen staff.

And as the bronze lantern swayed in midair, threads of snow-white Buddha fire blossomed like burning stars, radiating an unimaginable purifying power.

The four Brahma Lords simultaneously unleashed their own divine powers and treasures, surrounding Lin Xun and his two companions on all sides, and raining down an overwhelming assault.

The scene was chilling to the core. Truly terrifying!

Xue Ya was already heavily wounded, and Pu Zhen was injured as well. Even though they fought together, they were forced into a passive state, and soon suppressed under the assault. The four Brahma Lords pressed in relentlessly, closing the distance with every step!

Lin Xun did not make a single move from beginning to end. He only urged the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron to shield his senior brothers. His expression was so calm it was frightening. Ordinary attacks were useless against the four Brahma Lords. If he struck rashly, he would only give them a chance to exploit.

So he waited. As time passed, the battle grew ever more perilous.

Pu Zhen and Xue Ya were already gravely wounded, yet they fought on with everything they had. Fresh injuries piled upon old, blood spilling from their lips again and again. That battered, desperate sight filled Lin Xun’s chest with both anguish and a towering hatred.

It was not that his two senior brothers were weak, but instead their injuries had been inflicted earlier by Buddha Venerable Shiye himself.

Had they been at their peak, the two of them could have stood shoulder to shoulder against these four Brahma Lords. However, such thoughts were meaningless now.

“If you can’t endure, why struggle so bitterly? The sea of suffering has no end; turn back and you’ll find the shore.” Hong Ke sighed deeply, his expression solemn, as though truly pained by the miserable plight of Lin Xun and the others.

However, once he struck, he showed no mercy. His might surged fiercely as he pressed forward step by step.

“The struggle between orthodox lineage allows not the slightest mercy. I deem them heretics, and they deem us the same. To uphold the dao and to eradicate Fangchun, one must be prepared to give one’s life!” Hong Jing’s expression was resolute, his gaze glaring fiercely across the world, his authority terrifying to the extreme.

His attack was the fiercest of them all.

“Remember Buddha Venerable’s command. Lin Xun must be captured alive,” Hong Yi reminded the others.

As they talked, their combined might swelled higher and higher, so oppressive that Pu Zhen and Xue Ya struggled to even lift their heads.

“Little friend, come with me!”

The kind-faced Hong Yuan suddenly thrust out his hand, shattering through Pu Zhen and Xue Ya’s weakened defenses in a single motion, reaching straight for Lin Xun. His speed was beyond imagination!

At this critical moment, Lin Xu’s eyes gleamed with a piercing cold light. The innate divine powers he had kept suppressed until now erupted forth in a sudden blaze. The four Brahma Lords froze in place, their movements stalled for a moment.

In the same instant, a rift in time and space quietly unfolded, like a passage to hell, spreading into a thousand-foot gate that descended to shroud the battlefield.

𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

His two innate powers, Time Stopping and the Gate of Exile, erupted into existence together! The terror of that scene defied words.

Lin Xun, Pu Zhen, and Xue Ya had all been waiting for this exact moment. When their counterattack finally began, there was no hesitation, only the unleashing of their full might.

The four Brahma Lords, though caught in the grip of the Time Stopping divine power, still reacted with astonishing speed. However, because they had been pressing forward relentlessly, when they tried to retreat, the Gate of Exile was already upon them!

“Retreat!” Hong Ke bellowed, his voice laced with both fury and dread.

Relying entirely on instincts tempered through countless years of battle and slaughter, the four violently retreated at that perilous moment, unleashing their full cultivation in a desperate attempt to escape.

A chill of fatal danger struck them all at once. In the end, they were still a step too late. Pu Zhen, Xue Ya, Lin Xun had already struck with all their strength, sealing off every path of retreat.

Boom!

A deafening roar shook the heavens, fierce and world-shattering, like chaos itself detonating. Wild immortal currents surged in every direction, flooding and drowning the universe.

“No—!”

Amidst panicked, unwilling cries, Hong Yuan was the first to be devoured by the Gate of Exile. Moments ago, his face had been kindly, his smile gentle, but at the critical moment he had revealed his fangs, lunging straight for Lin Xun. It was also because he had been the closest, he was also the first to fall.

Next came Hong Yi, clutching his withered zen staff. Struck hard by Pu Zhen’s full-force blow, he staggered and was seized by the devouring power of the gate. He was dragged screaming into its depths.

Then it was Hong Jing’s turn. Like a wrathful Vajra, fierce and domineering, he struck out on instinct even as the Gate of Exile swallowed him whole. He shattered Xue Ya’s right arm with one savage punch. In the end, he too could not escape, vanishing utterly into the gate.

Only Hong Ke survived. His reaction was the sharpest. His retreat the swiftest. Even when Pu Zhen, Xue Ya and Lin Xun struck in unison, he tore his way through their assault and broke free from the Gate of Exile’s pull. However, his face was ashen, and his eyes were blazing with shock and fury!

The calamity had struck them without warning, like the gate of death crashing down, catching them utterly unprepared. All he could do was stare helplessly as three of his fellow Brahma Lords, Hong Jing, Hong Yi, and Hong Yuan, were consumed by that eerie, horrifying Gate of Exile.

A shudder ran through him, not from cold, but from terror! In the distance, bloodied and broken, Xue Ya burst into wild laughter. Even he had not expected that his junior brother would deliver such an earth-shaking reversal!

Pu Zhen wiped the blood from his mouth and muttered, “Just one short...” He looked somewhat unwilling.

Lin Xun was even more unwilling. Without a second thought, he said, “Finish him!”

The rage and hatred pent within him had to be unleashed. The moment his words fell, he once again unleashed the divine power of Time Stopping.

Though far away, Hong Ke had not lowered his guard. He instantly summoned every defense at his disposal and attempted to flee. However, the terror of Time Stopping was that it drew directly on the power of time itself. So long as time flowed in this world, the technique was invincible.

Although Hong Ke was a Nirvana Spirit powerhouse, he had never touched the mysteries of time. No matter how much strength he poured out, he was still frozen still for an instant. In that gap, Pu Zhen, Xue Ya, and Lin Xun appeared before him, each unleashing their mightiest strike.

Boom!

Pu Zhen’s hoe smashed down at the advanced Nirvana Spirit Brahma Lord. Hong Ke’s body exploded into bloody fragments and even his primordial spirit was brutally wounded.

Xue Ya’s vast power transformed into sword qi, and together with Lin Xun’s Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, they blasted Hong Ke’s damaged primordial spirit into pulp. With a single blow, the enemy was destroyed!

The carnage left the three brothers exhilarated, their pent-up fury finally vented. All of it had unfolded in the span of just a few breaths. As the carnage drew to an end, a cold, thunderous shout suddenly split the heavens, “Next time, I will take your heads!”

It was Buddha Venerable Shiye’s voice. Almost at the same time, Yan Ji’s icy voice rang out, “Leaving without even deciding the victor. Since when did you bald monks become so spineless?”

Lin Xun and the others looked up. In the heavens, Yan Ji’s will dharma form stood battered and dimmed, but his aura remained so overwhelming it made the soul quiver.

Opposite him, Buddha Venerable Shiye was in no better state. The thirty-six-petaled jade lotus beneath his feet was cracked, his face pale, and a sword gash had split his cheek so deep that bone gleamed beneath!

As Lin Xun and the others looked up, Shiye gave a cold snort. With a wave of his Purple-Gold Demon-Subduing Pestle, his figure flickered and vanished into nothingness. At once, the Golden Light Dharma Realm collapsed, dissolving like a bubble in the wind.

Only then did Lin Xun realize they were now standing above the skies of the Cloud Guardian Workshop. All around was vast emptiness and the figure of Buddha Venerable Shiye was already nowhere to be seen.

At that moment, the skies were boundlessly clear, and the mountains and rivers were like a painting come alive. All that had happened just moments ago now seemed no more than an unreal dream.
