The Prodigies War-Chapter 2771 The Lotus Births Samsara and the Tranquil Heart Forms the World
A wooden fish appeared on the palm of Yu Fengziβs hand the moment the words left his mouth. It was shaped like a Buddha head and had a slight purplish-blue hue.
Dong! π§ππππΈπ¦π£πππ·ππ.π€π°π
With a gentle tap, heaven and earth trembled and a giant azure lotus flower condensed in the air. A bare-chested and barefoot Buddha soon emerged from the lotus, every inch of him infused with Buddha light as he towered over the arena with a compassionate expression. The Buddha stood atop the azure lotus, pinched a mysterious seal with both hands, and sent it flying toward Lin Xun.
Boom!
Space shattered as Immortal law power flooded the area, filled with boundless and almighty power that seemed capable of cleansing the universe. Everyone's eyes widened, drawn in by the magical scene.
Yu Fengzi's opening move clearly boasted extraordinary power that far surpassed anything Xing Jun, Jing Qingjia, and others had shown before.
In the distance, Lin Xun waved his sleeve. A brilliant sword formation appeared in the sky with a loud rumble, exuding a dreadful aura mixed with unfathomable killing intent.
The two forces clashed and the seal exploded with a thunderous boom, shredded to bits by the sword formation. Before the clash could conclude, Yu Fengzi tapped the wooden fish again.
Dong!
This time, a golden lotus bloomed and a golden Buddha emerged from within. The hundred-foot-tall figure shone like a golden immortal, radiating endless light. The golden Buddha grasped a ceremonial knife and swung it downwards.
It felt as if heaven and earth were split apart as blinding knife qi manifested the Zen rhythm of great perfection, great wisdom, and boundless compassion. Lin Xun raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, and swung his fist.
Boom!
Fist and knife clashed, unleashing a berserk torrent of destruction. This knife was once again shattered by Lin Xun, yet Yu Fengzi appeared completely unfazed. He stood there in a dignified manner as he continued to tap the wooden fish and chant unknown words as if reciting the sutras.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
A red lotus, a silver lotus, a black lotus...condensed one after another as hundred-foot-tall Buddhas emerged from them. Some sat in a cross-legged position holding azure lamps. Some stood there turning prayer beads in their hands. Some waved monk staffs and recited the sutras.
Millions of Buddha flames poured down from the void like a river spanning across the nine heavens as countless sutra pages whirled out from nothingness, blooming with endless Buddha light. As the staffs waved, heaven and earth were thrown into chaos.
These unimaginable scenes left the many onlookers outside the arena dumbstruck as they gasped in awe. Many of them have heard that Yu Fengzi was a natural born Buddha born only once every ten thousand years and possessed an unfathomable cultivation foundation. However, only after witnessing him in action did they realize that he was far more powerful than they could have imagined!
Five Buddhas stood on five lotus flowers, each targeting Lin Xun with their unique and terrifying power. It was a scene that would instill despair in anyone.
Lin Xun fought valiantly in the arena. Although he repeatedly defeated the various Buddha dao techniques, he couldnβt gain any headway against the five Buddhas for a time. It was a shocking sight to behold.
After all, everyone had witnessed how he had previously crushed the other opponents with domineering and absolute strength. Now, they were now treated to a very different side of him.
"Yu Fengzi does indeed have the highest hopes of inheriting the position of this eraβs Present Age Buddha."
An elder sighed emotionally.
"He is indeed very powerful. If I hadn't witnessed it myself, I would have thought that the rumors were exaggerated."
"Finally a meaningful battle. However, it wonβt be that easy to defeat Lin Xun."
Hearing the evaluations of the bigwigs, Buddha Venerable Shiye smiled slightly and said, "This is only the beginning. Yu Fengzi still has many wonderful techniques that he has yet to reveal. Everyone should watch with anticipation."
The sentence shocked the bigwigs.
"The Zen Sect has kept a low profile over the years and is rarely ever talked about. Who could have thought that they would nurture such a formidable disciple?"
Xuan Feiling frowned. He could also see how strong Yu Fengzi was.
Fang Daoping remarked, "It's no surprise that these monks are experts at hiding their true strength."
"It's going to be tough for Lin Xun to win this time."
Dugu Yong sighed softly.
With their cultivation and insight, they could naturally see that the battle was completely different from the previous ones, and that Yu Fengzi was on another level compared to the other opponents.
If Xing Jun was the Shaman Sect Ancestral Courtβs ace, then Yu Fengzi would be the killing move of Zen Sect! At the moment, everyone from Origin Sect was watching with bated breath. The ability Yu Fengzi displayed was so amazing that they began to feel nervous for Lin Xun.
Rumble!
Turbulent currents and Buddha light unfurled in the arena as all kinds of mysterious arts descended. The attacks seemed to blot out the sky as barrage after barrage was fired at Lin Xun. He was finally starting to feel the pressure.
It made him raise an eyebrow, feeling a little surprised. Soon after, however, a fighting spirit rose in his heart. Only recently, he had achieved a cultivation breakthrough in Cold Moon City's Cloud Guardian Workshop, reaching the mid Heavenly Longevity Stage.
That was why he hadnβt felt the least bit threatened when dealing with Xing Jun and others, and had essentially steamrolled over them with ease. However, Yu Fengzi was different. Fighting him made Lin Xun feel that long-lost pressure, which undoubtedly proved that his cultivation was also unparalleled and extraordinary.
"Not bad, I never expected to encounter an opponent like you. Looks like today isnβt a total disappointment." Lin Xun spoke with a hint of appreciation. At his current cultivation, it wasnβt easy to encounter such an opponent.
"Hmph, what arrogant words!"
Several bigwigs who were hostile towards Lin Xun coldly snorted.
"Dao Friend Lin still hasn't used his Immortal weapon. Youβre clearly holding back." In the distance, Yu Fengzi's expression remained calm as ever.
Lin Xun chuckled in a carefree manner. "Your current techniques are lacking. It wonβt be too late to think about using treasures after I force out all your abilities."
With that, he suddenly extended his four limbs outwards and curled his fingers, sending heavy, abyss-like sword qi in all directions. Thousands of abysses seemed to become swords that swallowed everything in their paths.
Rumble!
The nearest golden lotus was directly torn apart by the terrifying devouring force while the Buddha wielding a ceremonial knife atop it also crumbled and scattered into golden light. The red lotus, black lotus, azure lotus, and silver lotus were also struck by the terrifying sword qi as the Buddhas atop them exploded one after another.
From a distance, it looked like a violent gale shredding countless petals!
"This..."
"Strong!"
"It's the power of the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer."
Gasps rang out from outside the arena. Lin Xun's attack was like a whirlwind sweeping away the clouds, destroying everything with overwhelming might!
He nonchalantly remarked, "See, itβs honestly a little lacking."
Yu Fengzi smiled, put away the wooden fish, and said, "My lacking techniques have made Dao Friend laugh. I have practiced the Zen for over three thousand six hundred years, listened to the sacred sounds of the heavens, and silently studied the Buddhist teachings of past and present to finally gain some insights into the Immortal path of cultivation. However, no one has had the chance to witness them yet."
He pressed his hands together and bowed slightly, then, his aura suddenly changed. As if suddenly ablaze, his thin figure produced boundless light where innumerable Buddhist nations and countless Buddhas appeared!
In the end, everything converged into a single ray of light and landed in his hands, as if they were the hands of God that encompassed all worlds. The bigwigs outside were deeply shocked as their expressions gradually turned serious and focused. Only Buddha Venerable Shiye displayed a look of satisfaction.
"This art is called Borderless, originating from the sea of suffering that is endless without borders, and one can only be saved by repenting. It is the culmination of my cultivation, talent, and wisdom. I now invite Dao Friend to witness it."
With that, Yu Fengzi extended his right hand as if he was plucking a flower. His palm moved with surreal nonchalance. The sound of Zen suddenly rang out from the void and echoed across the nine heavens and ten lands, shaking the skies and earth. The sound alone made the blood of many people outside the arena to churn and disturbed their minds, causing their faces to change.
Quickly after, Buddha light rose to an impossible height and illuminated heaven and earth. It became a palm that covered the sky, with countless Buddhist nations and devout Buddhists appearing atop it. It was as if a world of Buddha was birthed from a single palm!
As the strike was unleashed, the entire arena shook violently as restriction power rippled wildly. Despite this, Lin Xun's eyes lit up in excitement. Instead of retreating, he advanced and punched!
Although the punch appeared plain and ordinary, the power contained within was nothing like the exterior. It was more condensed and terrifying than ever before and carried a grand and unique momentum. It was as if in the face of this punch, it didnβt matter if one was a god or Buddha, because everything would be scattered into nothingness.
Rumble!
When the fist and palm collided, a piercing pain assaulted everyoneβs eardrums as their hearts and minds shuddered violently. It was followed by a sharp pain in their eyes, because unfurling radiance from the arena was simply too intense and blinding.
It was as if two suns had collided and then exploded. Only the bigwigs were able to clearly see Yu Fengziβs palm being blocked and neutralized by Lin Xun's punch! Their expressions couldnβt help but change.
"Descend!"
Yu Fengzi pinched a seal, becoming increasingly holy and ethereal as his monk robes fluttered around him. A strange palm seal condensed in the air, shaped like a lion and a tiger, and flowing with the gleam of wisdom and perfection.
As soon as it appeared, the roar of eight hundred arhats thundered from the palm seal and engulfed everything. Lin Xun sighed softly. "It seems that you won't reveal all your cards until I pressure you a little."
His aura steadily rose as he stepped forward. All of a sudden, he seemed to transform something resembling a mix between a moving abyss and a giant furnace about to suppress past, present, and future.
Boom!
With a single punch, the palm seal exploded into a shower of light. Lin Xun rushed forth like a thunderbolt, pressuring to the extreme.
Yu Fengzi's eyes narrowed slightly as he continuously unleashed palm seals shaped like bottles, divine wheels, lotus platforms, jade pots... The sound of chanting filled the air as Buddha light surged threateningly. Thousands upon thousands of palm seals overlapped, crashing down on Lin Xun like a tidal wave.
His counterattack was simple: thrusting his fists to throw punch after punch with unstoppable momentum.
Bang bang bang!
Palm seals exploded before him in rapid succession like firecrackers, creating countless waves of scattering light. Lin Xun pressed forward, coming closer and closer! His domineering posture made the onlookers inwardly boil in anticipation as countless gasps sounded in disbelief.
Despite how powerful Yu Fengzi was, he was still unable to stop Lin Xun from approaching. It was honestly quite an unexpected development. When Lin Xun was a mere thirty feet away, Yu Fengzi remained unfazed as an enigmatic smile appeared on his laps.
"The lotus births samsara and the tranquil heart forms the world."
A solemn and calm chanting voice rang out from Yu Fengzi's mouth.
