The world was utterly silent!

The six Eternal Will Dharma Form who were previously fighting Lin Xun retreated with a sigh of relief. Their gazes fell upon the gaunt, and slender figure that had abruptly appeared, their expressions filled with shock and even awe.

That was also an Eternal Will Dharma Form, yet it was obviously more powerful than them! A chaotic aura permeated the world, bringing an extreme tranquility to the turbulent void, as if the void itself was bowing in submission.

"We respectfully invite the Ancestral Founder’s Will Dharma Form to descend upon the world!"

"We respectfully invite the Ancestral Founder’s Will Dharma Form to descend upon the world!"

Their voices echoed throughout the world, carrying a powerful, heart-stirring force. Tu Muhun and the other ancient beings, having lived for countless ages, wielded immense power within the Shaman Sect and were revered by countless beings. Now they all bowed like mere ordinary disciples with incredibly respectful expressions!

Anyone witnessing this would likely be stunned.

“The founder of the Shaman Sect...Tian Wu!” Lin Xun’s eyes narrowed, his heart churning.

He had already heard Yan Ji say that the founder of the Shaman Sect was named Tian Wu, and he was someone who had successfully survived numerous Great Silence Unlife Calamities throughout countless epochs!

Even Xia Zhi’s true form, the Eternal Night Divine Emperor, had suffered from the Great Silence Unlife Calamity and was forced to hide in the Flowing Light Forbidden Realm. Undoubtedly, based on that, Tian Wu was an existence even more terrifying than the Eternal Night Divine Emperor!

Just now, although only Tian Wu’s Will Dharma Form had appeared, Lin Xun felt a deadly threat. His power was far beyond what the Will Dharma Forms of the other Eternals present could compare to, like the vast chasm between heaven and earth!

At this moment, Tu Muhun was transmitting his voice, saying something to Tian Wu’s Will Dharma Form.

Whoosh!

Xuan Feiling appeared before Lin Xun and said, "They're getting serious now. Leave the rest to me."

His expression was solemn, but he didn't show any panic.

"This must be their biggest trump card..." Lin Xun's eyes flashed.

He had long anticipated that since the Shaman Sect and the Zen Sect had come, they must have prepared a force powerful enough to threaten the foundation of the Origin Sect. Those previous Eternal Will Dharma Forms were far from being capable of doing that.

Now, seeing the Will Dharma Form of the Shaman Sect's founder, Tian Wu, appear, how could Lin Xun not understand that this was the Shaman Sect Ancestral Court's biggest trump card? In addition, if the Shaman Sect had mobilized such power, how could the Zen Sect not also be prepared?

Sure enough, just as Lin Xun thought this, a peaceful and solemn chant of Buddhist hymns suddenly filled the world. Following this, a shower of celestial flowers and golden lotuses erupted from the ground. Phoenixes soared, and white elephants cried out. A dense, magnificent Buddha light, like a rain of light from the heavens, illuminated the world.

Boom!

A majestic figure with a solemn and dignified countenance appeared on the scene. His forehead was smooth, making him appear youthful as he stood barefoot on an auspicious cloud. His refined and handsome face was radiant with a holy and ethereal light. Behind him, a radiant Buddha halo appeared, revealing the image of the Land of Bliss.[1]

As he appeared, Jikong and the other ancient figures clasped their hands together, bowed in reverence, and uttered a Buddhist chant.

"The Will Dharma Form of Shi, the founder of the Zen Sect!"

Xuan Feiling's expression instantly became unprecedentedly solemn, and he frowned slightly.

Shi!

He was a supreme giant who had also walked through countless epochs since time immemorial, overlooking the cycle of epochs. He was a mythical figure who personally established the Zen Sect! At this moment, his appearance brought with it a terrifying aura that filled the heavens and earth, causing even the old monsters of the Zen Sect to show expressions of piety.

Lin Xun felt a sense of oppression, and his expression became grave. He grabbed Xia Zhi's hand and transmitted, "If a battle breaks out later, under no circumstances should you act rashly!"

Xia Zhi hummed in acknowledgement.

At this moment, Xuan Feiling unhesitatingly summoned a flying sword. The flying sword spun rapidly in the void before suddenly coming to a stop, its blade emanating ripples of obscure power that spread outwards. Then, a plump figure rose from the sword qi.

His hair and beard were snow white, and he had a pair of kind-looking eyes. He was clad in a white robe, but his figure was rather bulky. He also had a bright red nose and a large purple-gold gourd hanging at his waist. As he appeared, the flying sword gradually dimmed, then rustled and dissipated into dust.

"Grandmaster, in today's situation, only you can intervene." Xuan Feiling sighed softly, a hint of shame in his expression.

Lin Xun was stunned. This plump old man with white hair and beard was actually the founding master of the Origin Sect, Yuan Chu?!

Not only him, but Tu Muhun, Jikong, and the others were also taken aback, seemingly not expecting the Origin Sect's founder to be like this.

The plump Origin Sect’s sect master patted the purple-gold gourd at his waist and said nonchalantly, "What's there to be ashamed of? Being able to force that old bastard Tian Wu and that old bald monk Shi to reveal their Will Dharma Forms is already quite impressive, isn't it?"

His voice was loud, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

"Yuan Chu, if you are alone, then you cannot withstand today's calamity."

In the distance, Tian Wu’s figure was gaunt and tall, shrouded in chaotic energy. His hands were behind his back, and his voice was indifferent and cold, like the clanging of a divine sword.

"Just one against two." Yuan Chu said nonchalantly, "It’s not like we’ve never fought before."

"But today is different." The Zen Sect’s founder, Shi, said with a serene expression, "You Beihai is seeking Eternal enlightenment, Taixuan is trapped in the Wuxuan Forbidden Realm, and the Origin Sect’s Divine Rank law power is being suppressed by the great tribulation. Even if you can withstand the combined might of the two of us, the aftershocks of the battle, once they reach the Origin Sect, will cause countless casualties, and You Beihai's path to enlightenment will be affected."

His gaze then fell on Lin Xun. "This boy is not a successor of your Origin Sect, but instead a disciple of Bodhi. Is it worth destroying the foundation of the Origin Sect for him?"

At this moment, no one else present had a chance to interject. Three founding masters were facing off against each other. Even in the Ninth Heaven Domain, few could get a word in edgewise!

Yuan Chu stroked his snow-white beard and sighed, "So many years have passed, yet you still act like this, Baldy. So hypocritical! If you're going to threaten, just say it directly. Why put on this fake facade?"

Shi frowned and said, "Right now, the Origin Sect only has Taixuan, a single Eternal. If he makes a move, someone will surely deal with him. If he suffers a backlash from the laws of heaven and earth, he probably won't survive the epochal calamity that will inevitably descend within a thousand years. Is it worth it for the sake of Bodhi's successor?"

He repeated his previous question once more. The implication was clear: the Origin Sect was ultimately the Origin Sect, not Fangchun Mountain. Destroying its ancestral foundation to protect a Fangchun Mountain successor was utterly foolish.

Not far away, Tian Wu coldly snorted, his voice booming like thunder, "Enough with the chit-chat! Let's all attack together and see if that old fart Yuan Chu can stop us!"

His aura surged, filling the world with a chilling atmosphere.

Yuan Chu clapped his hands and laughed, "In the end, I still admire Old Bastard Tian Wu more. He's straightforward and never talks nonsense!"

Shi sighed softly, saying, "It seems that today's matter cannot be resolved peacefully."

Boom!

His dharma body was solid, and the world resounded with Buddha light. Under the terrifying pressure that spread, whether it was Tu Muhun, Jikong, Lin Xun, Xuan Feiling, or the others, everyone stiffened, feeling an unprecedented oppression, as if they were on the verge of suffocating.

Yuan Chu clapped his hands, his back straightening abruptly, unleashing an overwhelming and majestic divine power. His snow-white hair and beard fluttered, his sleeves billowing, and he declared, "Come, come, let's fight to our hearts' content!"

"Do you think we are afraid of you?" Tian Wu sneered, about to attack.

Suddenly, a loud sound resounded from the far distance. "Wait, how could this spectacle be complete without this humble daoist present?"

The sound was quite far away when it rang out, but as it faded, a slender figure appeared out of thin air, forcefully joining the fray.

This man wore a dirty daoist robe, and a wooden hairpin was slanted into his ash gray hair that had been tied into a loose daoist bun. Simple straw sandals were on his feet, and a smile graced his thin face.

The moment he appeared, his thin figure emitted a pure light of the great dao, piercing through heaven and earth, forcefully pushing aside the imposing aura of the other three founders.

"The founder of the Spirit Sect, Xu Yin!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Xuan Feiling was astonished, slightly excited, seemingly not expecting the Spirit Sect to send the Will Dharma Form of its founder to assist in this situation.

Xu Yin!

Even Lin Xun was moved. This was also a powerful figure who had walked through countless epochs long ago, so his foundation was terrifying beyond imagination.

"What a sight!" Yuan Chu exclaimed with a smile.

"If I hadn't come, your Will Dharma Form would probably have been beaten to death." Xu Yin pointed out coldly, but a smile remained on his face.

"Now it's a two-on-two situation. How much of a chance do you two think you have?" Yuan Chu grinned as he looked at Tian Wu and Shi in the distance.

However, Tian Wu's expression was cold and sharp, his voice as intimidating as a sword's edge as he snapped, "Ten percent!"

"Ten percent?" Yuan Chu's gaze fell upon the Zen Sect’s founder, Shi.

"In the end, this is just a Will Dharma Form. What does it matter if it perishes here?" Shi clasped his hands together, his tranquil face serene.

"Then let's fight!"

Xu Yin rolled up his sleeves, pointing at the faraway Shi, "I'll fight this old bald donkey. Old Bastard Tian Wu is yours."

With that, he threw a punch from afar.

Boom!

This punch was like an eternal river breaking free from the shackles of time and space, transcending the cage of heaven and earth, and it was so powerful it was despair-inducing. Anyone who witnessed it would feel as insignificant as an ant.

Even Lin Xun was shocked. While this was also an Eternal Will Dharma Form, the power of a sect founder like Xu Yin was clearly beyond comprehension, so strong that he couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance!

Shi let out a Buddhist chant, his expression solemn and calm.

Boom!

His monk's robe billowed, a burst of Buddhist light condensed, transforming into an incredibly tiny grain of sand, silently and effortlessly dissolving Xu Yin's punch.

"A grain of sand contains a world; all beings see only how small it is, unaware of its vastness. This old bald monk's move is truly remarkable." Xu Yin clicked his tongue in amazement.

Although he said that, he swept his fingers across the sky, splitting it like a canvas. A beam of clear light emerged from the chaos, instantly transforming into an ethereal sword intent, drawing forth an eternal force.

In that instant, an eternal, supreme divine might enveloped this world, causing the void, time, space, light, and shadow to distort and crumble. Those watching from afar, whether Lin Xun, Xuan Feiling, and their group, or Tu Muhun and Jikong, all felt an immense distance.

It was as if the four founding ancestors were right before their eyes, yet they also stood beyond the endless void, giving them an untouchable sense of vastness. It was absolutely terrifying!
