With Hong Tian's experience in mind, Lu Yang drew his sword. Empowered by the Titled Sword Intent and accompanied by loud laughter, a beam of sword light slashed directly into the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws]!
Rumble!
This instantaneous change clearly caught the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws] unprepared. In the next second, clear text emerged within the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws]:
[Usurper Emperor of the False Dynasty, whose mandate is invalid, cannot serve as the Imperial Pivot]
As soon as this text appeared, changes arose throughout the five regions under heaven, which were now covered by the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws]. Mountains and rivers churned, the world in rebellion!
"Hahaha!"
However, seeing this scene, Lu Yang burst into loud laughter. His laughter affirmed a fact: The World Honored One and the Dao Court's Dao Lord were indeed not of one mind!
Yes, the two must have cooperated by now.
But prejudice in the human heart is like a great mountain; how could it be moved so easily? Even if the World Honored One and the Dao Court's Dao Lord cooperated, there would still be resentment in their hearts!
After all, the World Honored One snatched the [Wall-Top Earth], while the Dao Court's Dao Lord used Lu Yang's hand to exterminate Buddhist cultivation. Under such circumstances, the World Honored One would naturally be happy to let the Dao Court's Dao Lord suffer a bit more loss, provided the situation remained under His control. Similarly, the Dao Court's Dao Lord must hold the same thought.
Previously, Lu Yang only guessed this.
Now he had the answer: If the World Honored One had already told the Dao Court's Dao Lord about the [False History], the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws] wouldn't be demoting me only now!
Demoting me now? Too late!
Boom!
At this moment, although Lu Yang was demoted as the [False Dynasty Usurper] within the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws], causing his personal phenomenon to plummet instantly...
Another radiance was lit up.
It was a pure white radiance. The moment it appeared, a tranquil scent of sandalwood filled the world, and vaguely, millions seemed to be kowtowing.
Incense Divine Dao!
[Seven Luminaries Heaven]!
The instant the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws] receded, the net woven by the Incense Divine Dao perfectly filled the vacancy, once again supporting Lu Yang's phenomenon!
This scene exceeded the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws]'s expectations again.
Rip!
In the next second, Lu Yang's sword light slashed into that invisible great net. The sound of several threads snapping exploded instantly, triggering drastic changes in heaven and earth.
In this instant, from the thirty-six layers of astral clouds above to the seventy-two earth veins below, billions of rays of brilliance erupted from the area of the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws] struck by Lu Yang. Pouring down like a bursting dam, hanging from the dome of the sky as if bleeding, it instantly affected the entire world.
In the Jiangxi region.
A Dao Court cultivator was flying through the air when the official title above his head suddenly lost its brilliance and shattered with a boom, causing him to fall dumbfounded from the azure sky.
Similar situations emerged endlessly.
And all of this was because Lu Yang severed a few lines of the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws]. Seemingly minor, it affected thousands upon thousands of cultivators!
How much time and energy would it take to repair it?
Rumble!
At this moment, the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws] seemed furious. Text emerged again, just like when dealing with Hong Tian—it intended to confiscate all his Dao comprehension!
Instantly, Lu Yang froze.
Because of his deep connection with the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws], all his innate divine abilities had been rapidly cultivated by improving the corresponding Dao comprehension through it.
Therefore, having his Dao comprehension confiscated now left Lu Yang frozen on the spot, seemingly at a loss for what to do. The divine abilities that he once commanded with ease also began to riot rapidly... In this split second, the originally flawless Lu Yang revealed a tiny, minute opening.
Almost simultaneously—
Splurt!
A brilliant golden palm pierced through Lu Yang's back heart and exited through his chest. In its grasp, it held a bloody heart.
Bang!
Without any pause, the large golden hand directly crushed Lu Yang's heart. Simultaneously triggering karmic connections, it immediately intended to inflict heavy damage on Lu Yang's true body.
Only then did Lu Yang turn his head and see the attacker's appearance.
"Amitabha."
The World Honored One descended, True Body Tathagata!
Its essence was like the Buddha Child Dharma Aspect. Although not the World Honored One's main body, it possessed stronger spirituality and wisdom, and this sudden sneak attack was proof.
That was to say—it actually didn't need to go through the eight troublesome procedures like the bodhi tree and woman giving birth in the [False History] to descend. That was just a deliberate show put on for Lu Yang, knowing he was watching from beginning to end!
The true descent took only an instant!
Moreover, the True Body Tathagata's timing was perfect, striking exactly at the moment Lu Yang slashed the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws] and his spirit and energy relaxed slightly!
To put it bluntly, it used the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws] as bait.
While It hid in the dark, sneakily launching a surprise attack.
Despite descending personally to fight, and possessing might at the golden core level, the True Body Tathagata still resorted to such tactics against a foundation establishment perfected one seeking the golden core—
"Worthy of you, Senior."
Lu Yang turned his head and sighed with emotion.
True Body Tathagata: "...Hm?"
In an instant, the True Body Tathagata realized something was wrong... He hadn't given Lu Yang any chance to falsely hold the golden stature, so why did he seem unharmed?
In the next second, He knew the answer:
[Overturned Lamp Flame]!
Cold, clear lamp light spilled out, illuminating the fog and instantly dispelling the influence of the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws]. Then, Lu Yang formed a hand seal and chanted an incantation:
[Kan-Li Correct Position Phase Shift True Technique]!
Hand seals changed, concepts shifted. In a flash of lightning, he jumped from the [Overturned Lamp Flame] to the [Heavenly Fire]. Then Lu Yang slowly extended his hand:
"[Deprivation]!"
A seemingly slow action, but in reality, it happened in an instant. The True Body Tathagata felt He lost control of the arm piercing through Lu Yang's chest.
Not only that, this feeling of losing control was spreading rapidly along his arm toward his entire body!
In this instant, the True Body Tathagata made a prompt decision, directly severing the arm Lu Yang had [Deprived] and rapidly distancing Himself from Lu Yang.
Meanwhile, Lu Yang merged the [Deprived] golden body arm into his own true body. Not only did it instantly fill the trauma his true body suffered from the True Body Tathagata's sneak attack, but it even advanced his true body further. After all, the golden body was one of the trump cards of Buddhist cultivation.
Seeing this, the True Body Tathagata frowned slightly.
On the other side, Lu Yang stretched his body freely. The [Yama Hall] rumbled, falsely holding the [Heavenly Fire], and familiar mighty power filled his body once again.
You must be joking. Would he make the mistake of having trump cards but failing to use them?
As early as when he sought the golden core, he had already entered the state of falsely holding the golden stature, merely using the changes in heaven and earth during the seeking process to mask the phenomenon.
The True Body Tathagata sneakily wanted to ambush him, little knowing that he was also sneakily thinking of ambushing the True Body Tathagata!
Instantly, firelight exploded. Having falsely held the golden stature in advance, Lu Yang had long been secretly accumulating power. Moreover, the current [Heavenly Fire] favored him greatly.
Therefore, the three rules that should have taken some time to fully manifest were completed in one go:
[Those who deprived by me shall suffer heavy punishment]!
[All injuries shall be magnified ten thousand times]!
[Those who repair injuries shall suffer heavy punishment]!
Three rules, three punishments of heavenly fire burning the body, finally converging into a blinding light as fierce as the sun, instantly swallowing the True Body Tathagata!
This was almost the strongest killing power of the [Heavenly Fire] concept!
Caught off guard, the True Body Tathagata was hit by this strike. The unchanging smile on His broad Buddha face finally changed, revealing the angry glare of a Vajra.
Seeing this, Lu Yang's laughter became even more brazen:
"Why so angry, Senior?"
