Martial Saint!.

Chapter 715: All things return to one, the Almighty (asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)

Buddhist country.

As time passed, one by one the true Buddhas turned into light and completely dissipated.

Without a physical body to rely on, only the soul lives on. It seems to be immortal, but it is also very fragile.

When the spiritual power is exhausted, the soul will be scattered and there will be no afterlife.

The power of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Lord has been continuously weakened, and now there are only 180 true Buddhas left.

“Hahaha, you can’t trap me for too long.” The Demon Lord laughed arrogantly, His power seemed to be endless.

The power of the Four Calamities is constantly transformed and circulated, making His divine power vaster than that of higher demigods.

He himself is the God of Disaster, able to absorb the power of fear and belief in disasters from the three thousand worlds.

This is also the reason why other demigods become weaker and weaker after being suppressed, but He can make further progress.

In the era of great destruction, there are disasters and sufferings everywhere. He does not need to spread His teachings deliberately, and He is not short of incense.

All the powerful men had heavy expressions on their faces and could only try their best to restrain the Demon Lord and prevent him from escaping from the Buddha's Kingdom.

Lu Chenzhou was at the critical moment of overcoming the tribulation. If he let the Demon Lord leave, the consequences would be disastrous.

Little did they know that, although the Demon Lord looked proud on the outside, he was actually extremely anxious on the inside.

He could sense that someone was undergoing a tribulation, and it was undoubtedly Lu Chenzhou.

When Lu Chenzhou succeeds, he might be able to defeat Lu Chenzhou, but it would only be a slight advantage. Tianxia’s large numbers of people would be enough to make up for it.

Before the coming of the true God, He was alone, without any outside help, and was in a very dangerous situation.

"We must break the Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Ancestor Formation first." The Demon Lord burned his divine power, aimed his axe at the formation, and continued to chop fiercely.

"Don't let him break the formation, he wants to disrupt Lu Chenzhou's tribulation." Lan Shan said.

"I'll do it." The Dragon King came in front of the Demon Lord and engaged him in close combat and fierce attacks, which was his strong point.

The collision of fists and flesh produced intense sparks.

A group of powerful men used their magical powers on the Demon Lord, no one held back and everyone tried their best.

……

"Lu Chenzhou is about to overcome the tribulation. The idiot Demon Lord is actually trapped in the Blue Mountain Buddhist Kingdom." Mother Wangyou looked worried.

"This day has finally arrived." The Blood God's tone was complicated, and he felt indescribable irritation and worry in his heart.

"When will the Holy Lord be deified?" The Toad King was also a little anxious, looking at the kingdom of gods closest to the Taoist Palace in the sky.

“Within ten years, the Holy Lord should be able to be deified… It’s pretty much the same as we expected, but it’s impossible to stop Lu Chenzhou from breaking through to level nine. We can only hope that Lu Chenzhou won’t become too abnormal after he becomes powerful. This battle with the Demon Lord is crucial. If Lu Chenzhou can kill the Demon Lord, it means that he has the strength of a top-level demigod when he first becomes powerful, and he might not be inferior to a weak god. It will be very difficult for the Holy Lord to kill him. If not, he shouldn’t be able to grow to the level of being on par with a true god within ten years.” Wu said.

“If the Holy Lord cannot kill Lu Chenzhou, it would be better for me to be deified rather than for Him.” said the Toad Lord.

The witch glanced at him and said:

"The Holy Lord is the one who paved the way. He cannot kill Lu Chenzhou, and Lu Chenzhou cannot kill Him either. My mercy has been exhausted by these creatures in the universe. I want the Holy Lord to wash the three thousand worlds with blood and restart the cycle of life and death in the universe. This way, there will be only one Lu Chenzhou left, which is not a big deal."

"But if that's the case, how do we absorb faith?"

Although the gods of the stars invade, most of the time they will not kill all living things.

"I will reshape chaos, rebuild order, and create new life." Wu said.

His realm is very high, far beyond the imagination of these guys.

His ambition is not just to be deified.

He wants to replace the will of the universe and become the absolute will of a universe.

In this way, no matter how the universe changes, as long as the universe itself does not perish, He will not die.

Only in this way can one jump out of the long river of time, transcend everything, and be supreme!
But the birth of Lu Chenzhou, an uninvited guest, is disrupting his plans.

He had reason to suspect that it was the will of the universe that was causing trouble.

Therefore, He intends to start a mass extinction plan, bringing the universe to an end, and then restart it by Him.

……

time flies.

As the Dark Dragon howled, three spears formed a spiral and tore it into pieces.

Lu Chenzhou exhaled slowly and said, "This thirty-sixth calamity actually took seven days. The further it goes, the longer it takes."

Now the Demon Lord is causing chaos in the Buddhist kingdom. He is heartbroken as true Buddhas pass away one after another.

These people helped him and Tianxia a lot, but now they disappeared forever without waiting for the next life.

The thirty-seventh calamity came, and a giant snake of the end filled with the aura of great destruction emerged and surrounded the descent.

"It's another phantom calamity...it will only get harder and harder in the future." Lu Chenzhou gritted his teeth and rushed out with his gun.

……

“If the ones that follow are all phantom spirit tribulations, doesn’t that mean that the leader has to defeat thirty-six true spirit-level beings?” Yao Chi Xian frowned.

"It's like this. When ordinary powerful beings go through tribulations, they all go through phantom tribulations. The powerful ones only go through two or three. It is said that the Four Emperors each went through more than ten. This was already the best in ancient times...but the Dragon King went through twenty-seven tribulations, and the Sinking Boat went through thirty-six tribulations. In the martial arts world, our progress is fast in the early stages, but in the later stages, the difficulty begins to soar. This is probably the balance in the universe." Wanshixian sighed.

All I can say is that Dragon King and Lu Chenzhou are both freaks.

If it were any other ordinary third-step martial artist, their success rate in overcoming the tribulation might not be as good as that of the ancient Qi-refining practitioners.

The martial arts is too dangerous, and there is a price to pay for continuous progress.

……

In the blink of an eye, it’s already been a year.

Sure enough, it was just as Wanshixian and the others had guessed.

The subsequent catastrophes that Lu Chenzhou encountered were all phantom catastrophes, and each one was more powerful than the last.

Some powerful phantoms often have to fight for a month, which is a test of physical strength, endurance, and will.

Because Lu Chenzhou has no time to rest, and these phantoms are much stronger than the gatekeepers of the Zhaixing Tower in the early days.

They are pure manifestations of the Great Dao; their every move and gesture is the power of the Great Dao, and they are supported by the energy of heavenly tribulation.

……

Some people are worried, while others are secretly happy.

Infinitely high up, the Holy Lord could already see the Taoist Palace above his head.

"Okay, okay, let the calamity come more violently. It would be best to kill Lu Chenzhou directly, so that I don't have to take action."

To be honest, although he is a true god, the Holy Lord is also very afraid of Lu Chenzhou.

This kid repeatedly breaks conventional wisdom, and it would be a lie to say that He is not worried at all.

……

one year later.

Lu Chenzhou has successfully passed seventy-one tribulations and defeated more than thirty great phantom spirits in a row.

He fought with all his might and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Fortunately, although the phantom is difficult to deal with, its attack power is not that strong, and it can't even force him to use his immortal body.

The fourth level of the physical body not only has a powerful immortal regeneration ability, but also has extremely strong hardness, comparable to the most precious treasure.

Crash! The final 72nd calamity finally arrived, and this time the phantom was a human-shaped phantom.

Its face could not be seen clearly, but its body shape was about the same as Lu Chenzhou's, and its temperament in every move was also very similar.

Lu Chenzhou's heart sank: "What kind of phantom is this? Is it imitating me?"

Sure enough, an illusory spear appeared in the palm of the human-shaped phantom, surrounded by chaotic air currents and the aura of the world spreading out.

As soon as it fired the shot, a starry sky as big as the world rolled in, unstoppable.

"It's actually the World Dao Phantom." Lu Chenzhou raised his gun and killed it.

The phantom seemed to have sensed something and had already anticipated his move. It swept its illusory spear across, knocking Lu Chenzhou away.

Others were also shocked.

The priest shook his head and said, "I have never heard of this world's phantom spirit. Who is in charge of the great calamity of our practitioners? If it is the will of the universe, why can't you show mercy and let the leader successfully overcome the calamity and protect this universe?"

"It's too difficult. In comparison, the great tribulations of other powerful beings are like child's play."

The sound of metal clashing against each other, the skills of the World Dao Phantom Spirit are far beyond what they had before.

It seemed to have a strong learning ability. After only three days of fighting with Lu Chenzhou, it had initially mastered similar magical powers of the divine lotus.

It thrust forward with its spear, and various branches of the avenue emerged at once, with terrifying power.

It was the first time that Lu Chenzhou had seen such a terrifying enemy, who was even more difficult to deal with than a higher-level demigod.

"A quick battle and a quick decision. If we drag it on any longer, the Buddhist Kingdom will not be able to hold on." Lu Chenzhou once again performed the Nine Steps to Heaven, his momentum rising steadily.

However, the phantom spirit in the world on the opposite side also looked quite capable and its momentum increased greatly, so it blocked all of Lu Chenzhou's attacks.

"A replica?" Lu Chenzhou felt awe in his heart. The heavenly tribulation represented the way of heaven, or the will of the universe.

Heaven is high above, so it is normal that he can replicate his abilities.

Next, he used all the magical powers he had comprehended and acquired to bombard the phantom.

The phantom spirit was defeated repeatedly at the beginning, but it was tenacious and whenever it was about to die, it hid in the calamity cloud.

When he came out again, his strength had improved a lot.

Lu Chenzhou finally realized how hateful he was in the eyes of others.

It's really despicable. He can't be killed and he gets stronger the more he is beaten.

"I just don't believe that you can replicate everything I have!"

The martial arts tree in my mind swayed, and it overlapped with the silhouette of the world tree in my spiritual world and began to become solid.

Lu Chenzhou has been on the ninth level for some time. After hundreds of billions of feet, the martial arts tree is undergoing transformation.

During the long process of overcoming the tribulation, the transformation had already been completed.

【The universe preaches, all things return to one】

[Drawing the power of all the people who have heard the truth in the three thousand worlds, gathering it in one's body, one can briefly unleash a blow that exceeds one's limit.]

[Note: Using the All Methods Return to One will consume 10,000 years of lifespan.]

His robes fluttered, and behind Lu Chenzhou, the world tree that was originally just an illusion actually grew.

Each leaf represents a world.

Countless points of light flickered in these worlds. They were all people who had listened to Lu Chenzhou’s preaching.

With the World Dao as its bond, the Martial Arts Tree towers above the universe, quietly absorbing the power of Lu Chenzhou's hundreds of millions of students.

Thousands of magic spells, tens of thousands of magical powers, and many great principles that Lu Chenzhou had not even comprehended, also quietly emerged around him.

I don't know when his appearance changed from a young man to a majestic old teacher in a white robe, with tens of thousands of great powers flowing behind him.

"You continue to learn." Lu Chenzhou didn't believe that this phantom spirit could also learn the new skills that had just been born in the martial arts tree.

Phantom stood there, his eyes confused.

A ruler suddenly appeared in Lu Chenzhou's hand and fell from the sky, as if cutting the starry sky in half.

The phantom disappeared into thin air, and even the calamity clouds in the deep space were separated by the ruler.
