In Lin Dong’s heart, this thought was like a resilient seed, constantly breaking through the soil, taking root and sprouting.

He knew well that in facing such a powerful opponent as Golden Buddha Kuerzan, relying solely on his current strength was not enough, and he needed to find a new breakthrough point.

Lin Dong was thinking, was there a way to defeat or even kill this Buddhism expert without using the ’Sword Two’ ultimate skill, which consumed vast amounts of energy and had unpredictable consequences.

He stared at Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s seemingly impregnable Immovable Golden Buddha Defense, filled with doubt in his heart.

Lin Dong activated the Eye of Insight, one of his most relied-upon abilities, which could see through the essence of all things and discern the opponent’s weaknesses.

However, even the Eye of Insight couldn’t find a crack in Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s defense.

The Immovable Golden Buddha Defense was like an unbreakable fortress, protecting Golden Buddha Kuerzan so tightly that nothing could penetrate it.

"Boom boom boom~~~" Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s attack struck again like a torrential storm, each blow containing terrifying power, forcing Lin Dong to focus all his attention on responding.

His form flickered, continuously seeking life force amid the attacks, but Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s assaults were too relentless, making it difficult for him to cope.

At this critical juncture between life and death, a spiritual light suddenly flickered in Lin Dong’s mind.

He realized that since Golden Buddha Kuerzan could integrate the Earth Dao into his physical defense to form such a powerful defense system, why couldn’t he do the same?

This thought cut through the fog in his heart like lightning, showing him a brand new path.

"Yes! I can go further in defense and defeat him in defense!" Lin Dong suddenly realized, feeling enlightened.

He recalled his previous successful experience of integrating the Earth Dao into the Sword of Spiritual Power, which strengthened his resolve on this idea.

"I was able to integrate the Earth Dao into the Sword of Spiritual Power before, so now I can also integrate the Earth Dao into my physical defense." Lin Dong thought to himself, with a different kind of light shining in his eyes.

He believed that with the success of his previous experiments, this attempt should proceed more smoothly.

Thus, Lin Dong began trying to integrate the Earth Dao into his physical defense.

He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, fully immersing his mind into the world of Inner View.

He felt the power of the Earth Dao within his body, trying to guide it to every corner of his body, merging it with his flesh, bones, and meridians.

During this process, Lin Dong also had to withstand Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s attacks.

He relied on his extraordinary willpower and proficient combat skills, seeking breathing opportunities amid the assaults while continuously adjusting and perfecting his defense system.

With Lin Dong’s constant attempts and efforts, he gradually felt the changes in the power of the Earth Dao within his body.

It was a deep and heavy feeling, as if his body were merging with the Earth, becoming incomparably tough and strong.

Lin Dong knew he had found the key to defeating Golden Buddha Kuerzan.

In Lin Dong’s world, time seemed to freeze at that moment.

He dedicated himself fully to enlightening the Earth Dao, with every attack from Golden Buddha Kuerzan serving as nature’s tempering, allowing him to gain a deeper understanding of the Earth Dao’s mysteries.

Lin Dong’s eyes remained shut, but his mind was as clear as a mirror.

He felt the power of the Earth Dao within him flowing like a trickling stream, slowly spreading throughout his body, merging with his flesh, bones, and meridians.

This wasn’t just a fusion of power but an elevation of life itself.

He seemed to establish a mysterious connection with the Earth, drawing infinite strength from it with every breath.

In the process of enlightenment, Lin Dong did not forget to respond to Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s attacks.

Relying on his deep understanding of the Earth Dao, he turned each attack into a honing process for himself, continuously strengthening his physical defense in battle.

Lin Dong’s form maneuvered flexibly amid the assaults, with each counterattack carrying the Earth Dao’s weight and resilience, gradually diminishing the power of Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s attacks.

Finally, after an intense clash, Lin Dong’s enlightenment reached its peak.

He suddenly opened his eyes, which sparkled with a golden light, a sign of the Earth Dao’s power being fully awakened within him.

He took a deep breath, seemingly drawing the Earth’s entire strength into his body, then slowly raised his fist, delivering a Six Harmonies Dragon Fist towards Golden Buddha Kuerzan.

This punch contained Lin Dong’s complete understanding of the Earth Dao, as well as his continuously enhanced physical defense during the battle.

The fist wind howled, like a mountain flood bursting, carrying an unbeatable power, directly blasting Golden Buddha Kuerzan away.

Golden Buddha Kuerzan spun in the air a few times, flew backward, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

His figure flew seven or eight kilometers before barely stabilizing himself, his face full of disbelief.

"How is this possible, you actually achieved enlightenment during my great battle and integrated the Earth Dao into your physical defense." Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s voice carried a hint of shock and unwillingness.

Lin Dong smiled at Golden Buddha Kuerzan, his eyes full of confidence and composure. "This is also thanks to you. If you hadn’t integrated the Earth Dao into the Immovable Golden Buddha before, I wouldn’t have thought of this."

His words were full of ’gratitude,’ but his facial expression didn’t really show any thankfulness.

Upon hearing Lin Dong’s words, Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s face turned extremely ugly.

He originally thought he had already taken the initiative in this battle, but he didn’t expect Lin Dong to surpass himself during the fight, integrating the Earth Dao into his physical defense, allowing his strength to achieve a qualitative leap.

At this moment, Golden Buddha Kuerzan realized that the coming battle would likely switch from offense to defense.

"Originally, it took me over three hundred years to integrate the Earth Dao into the Immovable Golden Buddha!"

"And even that was not enough to make my body invincible. I still had to suppress you by letting the relic enter my body."

"Who could have thought you could integrate the Earth Dao into your body in the midst of our battle in such a short time."

"Moreover, after the integration, you can even rival me with the relic entering my body!"

"Yet, I am not willing! Even so, I must surpass you in physical defense!"

Saying this, Golden Buddha Kuerzan let out a loud shout, charging towards Lin Dong once more.

"Great Compassionate Palm!" He used the Great Compassionate Palm again, intending to blast Lin Dong away.

However, Lin Dong at this moment was not the same as just now. Lin Dong at this moment, with the Earth Dao integrated into his body, had a defense that reached a whole new level.

"Six Harmonies Dragon Fist!"

At this moment, he also launched a counterattack, delivering a ’Six Harmonies Dragon Fist’ under the terrifying support of his physical strength.

"Boom!"

Lin Dong’s fist, Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s ’palm,’ clashed together.

"Pfft~~~" Golden Buddha Kuerzan flew backward, spitting out another mouthful of fresh blood.

As for Lin Dong, he stood firm and unmoved!!!!
