Breakthrough, One Thought Through Firmament
…
In the mountain stream, Li Xuanxin floated in the air, 90 feet above the ground.
The golden wheel behind his head slowly spun. On the wheel, golden runes circulated and the words formed a radial pattern.
The golden lotus flower blooming on the ground slowly condensed under Li Xuanxin's seat, as if it wanted to form a lotus throne that accentuated him.
Suddenly, Li Xuanxin opened his eyes. Two bolts of lightning pierced through everything like sword light.
Boom—!
Two cracks that were a thousand meters long appeared on the mountain.
Li Xuanxin took a deep breath and retracted his strength. He slowly landed on the ground. The Buddha Wheel behind him and the golden lotuses on the ground vanished.
"Is this the power of the Firmament Realm? I can fly and burrow into the ground, doing almost anything! It's indeed terrifying!"
Li Xuanxin glanced at his Merit Golden Lotus.
…
Li Xuanxin
Race: Human
Cultivation: 3,000 years (Firmament Realm)
Cultivation Technique: Immovable Wisdom King Scripture (Perfected)
Immovable Wisdom King Incantation (Perfected)
Muscle Strengthening Scripture (Perfected)
Tathagata Divine Palm (81st level / 108th level)
Water Floating Technique (Perfected)
Bodhi Scripture (Uncultivated)
Thousand-Hand Buddha (Uncultivated)
Buddhist Light Escape Technique (Uncultivated)
Merit Points: 174,216
…
"Eh? There's actually the Buddhist Light Escape Technique in this Bodhi Bead."
Li Xuanxin was overjoyed.
Although the Buddhist Sect had two top-notch movement techniques, one was the Water Floating Technique and the other was the Buddhist Light Escape Technique, the latter was definitely superior.
This was because the Water Floating Technique was the same as the Dao Sect's Six Armor Divine Movement, Grand Unity Divine Steps, Earth Shrinking Technique, and other movement techniques. They all used pure acceleration as the foundation and only had 81 levels to master.
The Buddhist Light Escape Technique was different. It had 108 levels. Like the Dao Sect's Yin-Yang Escape, not only was it fast, but it could also pass through array formations and teleport short distances.
"I didn't expect to receive an unexpected surprise."
Li Xuanxin smiled and added the merit points to the Tathagata Divine Palm.
He had already obtained the cultivation technique of the Bodhi Temple. There was no need to be in a hurry to cultivate it. He had to cultivate the Tathagata Divine Palm to perfection first. This way, he would have the strongest cultivation technique of both the Zen Sect and the Tantra Sect.
Be it long-range spell attacks or melee physical attacks, it was all very easy to utilize.
Perfect!
The Merit Golden Lotus quickly began to spin.
[170,000 merit points have been spent. The Tathagata Divine Palm has been raised to the 91st level.]
"91st level, almost at the 108th level. Continue collecting merit."
Li Xuanxin was about to leave when she suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of Maple Leaf City.
After breaking through to the Firmament Realm, Li Xuanxin's various abilities became even more outstanding.
His Heavenly Eye allowed him to vaguely see things thousands of kilometers away.
If he was at the Mountain Sea Realm, he would definitely not be able to do this.
"I didn't expect Fu Yun to find so many super experts. Ji Tianlin is in danger."
Ji Tianlin was a good person. Moreover, if not for him, he would not have obtained so many good things.
By secretly helping, he could resolve this karma.
…
Two hours later, outside Maple Leaf City, a huge mountain collapsed!
Dozens of kilometers away from the mountain, many cultivators gathered.
Seeing this scene, they could not help but tremble in fear.
"What a terrifying battle. It lasted for more than half a day and finally collapsed a mountain! This is probably a battle above the River Realm. Furthermore, there's more than one person."
…
"Not only that, this is a level that only experts around the Mountain Sea Realm can reach!"
…
"Who is fighting? It actually caused such a huge commotion."
…
The onlookers were only shocked, but Ji Tianlin, who was on the mountain, was already dejected.
He hid behind a huge rock and tried his best to maintain his aura. He did not want to be overly chaotic lest he was discovered.
Seventeen Ghost Generals!
A total of seventeen Ghost Generals joined forces to attack him!
They were all experts above the River Realm. Furthermore, they were not the ordinary early-stage or late-stage of the River Realm. There were even a few Mountain Sea Realm cultivators.
The strongest two or three were already extremely close to him.
After resisting with all his might, he killed six of them.
However, these six were the weakest among the seventeen Ghost Generals.
The remaining eleven were the most troublesome.
At this moment, his body was already stained red with blood and he had little strength left.
If this continued, he would probably die completely before long.
"I didn't expect that I, the Second Prince of the Great Zhou, would die here. How ironic!" Ji Tianlin mocked himself.
If he had known, he would have listened to Li Xuanxin from the beginning.
Forget it, it was all fate.
Since it was destined, he could not escape. This was the Dao of nature. Everything would follow its natural course.
He looked outside.
These Ghost Generals had come prepared. A layer of array formation had already been set up outside the foot of the mountain.
The Six Armor Divine Movement Technique could not allow one to cross the array formation unless it was the stronger Yin-Yang Escape Technique of the Dao Sect, the Earth Escape Technique… or the Buddhist Light Escape Technique of the Buddhist Sect.
Apart from that, he could only forcefully shatter the array formation.
Of course, with his current cultivation level, he definitely did not have that standard.
Unless one was a Firmament Realm expert, they would definitely be unable to shatter the array formation.
Since he could not escape, he could only change his target—kill more demons.
"I am the prince of Great Zhou. Even if I die, I have to do my best for the people of Great Zhou! Killing demons and devils and protecting Great Zhou is my duty!"
Ji Tianlin took a deep breath and condensed the last of his strength to use the Dao Sect's ultimate technique, the Immeasurable Sword.
A sword light pierced through the huge rock like a stream, piercing straight at one of the Ghost Generals.
That Ghost General had a cultivation level of more than 2,000 years. It was extremely profound.
However, facing the 2,600-year-cultivation Ji Tianlin and the supreme technique of the Dao Sect, the Immeasurable Sword, he still could not withstand it. His Essence Soul was pierced by Ji Tianlin's sword!
"Ah—!"
He screamed as his Essence Soul dissipated. However, before he died, he used his last bit of strength to strike Ji Tianlin's chest.
Ji Tianlin, whose strength had already reached the limit, could not even withstand the impact. He was sent flying. A black ghost claw mark appeared on his chest, emitting a corrosive sound.
"Pfft—!"
Taking advantage of the fact that Ji Tianlin was sent flying, the remaining ten Ghost Generals all unleashed their strongest strength to suppress him!
While unconscious, Ji Tianlin smiled.
At least, he had killed another Ghost General before he died. It was a gain.
Unfortunately, he could not see his father and mother, and he could not listen to his master's teachings anymore.
There was also the West Shu's Sacred Monk that he had never seen before.
What a pity!
The ten Ghost Generals gathered their strength and used their strongest move.
Against them, not to mention the unconscious Ji Tianlin, even the peak-stage Ji Tianlin would not dare to face it head-on.
Ji Tianlin was definitely going to die!
Boom—!
With a shocking explosion, the originally shattered mountain stirred up another huge mushroom cloud. Dust and smoke rose in all directions, and the shock wave spread in all directions, causing sand and stones to fly everywhere!
If not for the array formation firmly sealing it, the shock wave could even spread more than ten kilometers away.
The cultivators outside all trembled.
"So strong!"
"With this attack, I'm afraid someone will die again."
…
In the array formation, the ten Ghost Generals were overjoyed. They had finally killed Ji Tianlin.
"It's not easy. It took a total of seven Ghost Generals to kill a prince of Great Zhou. The younger generation of the Great Zhou Dynasty is actually so powerful."
"He's the prince of Great Zhou after all and is also second on the Great Zhou Talent Ranking. If it were anyone else, they would definitely not be so powerful."
"No matter what, if he's dead, the Imperial Court will send people over. We can increase our forces again. We can quickly make up for the missing Ghost Generals."
However, when the dust gradually dissipated, one of the Ghost Generals inadvertently glanced at it and suddenly could not help but exclaim,
"No! Something is wrong! There's someone in the dust!"
