Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 217 The Arhat Who Annihilates Life, the Wrathful Vajra (Two chapters combined, now complete)

"Do you always enjoy showing off in front of others like this?"

Bathed in the warm golden sunlight, Luo Yuheng felt every inch of his skin being infused with warmth, and a hint of languor appeared on his face.

Clearly, she considered Leon Lai as one of her suitors.

The Taoist school is divided into three branches: Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. The Humanity branch cultivates the seven emotions and six desires, taking these emotions and desires as the source of power.

But it was lust that brought them success, and it was also lust that brought them down.

Due to the limitations of cultivation techniques, the number of disciples in the Human Sect was already extremely small.

If a disciple of the Human Sect wishes to reach a higher realm, he must accompany someone with great fortune.

Even so, when they reach higher realms, they still have to endure the scorching flames of karma alone.

If you can get through this, the future will be bright.

If one cannot withstand it, one will die and one's spiritual essence will vanish, and everything will return to nothingness.

However, those who cultivate together with cultivators of this level will also receive immense benefits.

Therefore, the disciples of the Human Sect have no shortage of followers.

Luo Yuheng, as the most talented person in the Human Sect over the past hundred years, has already reached the fifth rank at the age of fifteen.

Her suitors are numerous and formidable.

There are even rumors that even the current emperor wanted to issue an edict to make her the crown princess.

If Leon Lai knew about this rumor, he would naturally scoff at it.

No one knew better than him that the future Emperor Yuanjing was merely a puppet of this Empress Zhende.

"Is this how you... speak to your savior?"

Li Ming slightly opened his eyes, a faint hint of violence flashing deep within them.

He thought to himself that he might have encountered a woman of ordinary faith.

The human emperor possesses the benevolence to love all under heaven, and naturally also the violence to destroy the world!

Thunder and rain, all are the Emperor's grace!
That's all.

He wouldn't hesitate to use his methods to freeze this charming, icy beauty back into the earth.

As for beautiful women... they'll only slow down his punches!

"Even if I don't need you to save me, my master will save me sooner or later."

The girl's red lips parted slightly, clearly unconcerned by Li Ming's question.

The man before her possessed an immense aura, which even she, with her level of cultivation, could not fathom.

But... the one who laid down this three-hundred-mile stretch of wind, snow, and frost was a second-rank Arhat from the Buddhist sect in the Western Regions.

Even someone as gifted as her could only wait for her master to arrive before she had a chance to be rescued from such a level of existence.

Although he couldn't clearly see the person's background, he was at most between the fourth and third ranks.

Before a second-rank Arhat who has attained the Dao, even a third-rank martial artist would likely be defeated and killed!

Thinking of this, Luo Yuheng, still a young girl, parted her red lips slightly and said,

"You should leave quickly. Consider the time. That Arhat is coming. It's already quite an achievement that you've cultivated to this level. Why bother arguing with him out of spite?"

The reason why this terrible snowstorm did not destroy her must be that the Arhat gave his master some face.

But... dawn is not her after all.

Upon hearing this, Li Ming chuckled slightly, but the fierceness deep within his eyes ultimately subsided somewhat.

"I saved you because I need something in return!"

"I know!"

Luo Yuheng's voice was clear, like the clinking of gold and jade. His long, narrow eyelashes drooped slightly, but he remained silent, with a hint of indifference and detachment.

She clearly thought she had guessed correctly.

The man before him was no different from the other high-ranking officials, nobles, and disciples of various sects who were pursuing him.

Rumble!
As the two were talking, a rumbling sound, like muffled thunder, came from the end of the sky.

"If you insist on seeking death, then so be it."

Luo Yuheng gently shook his head.

How is this behavior any different from that of the group of teenagers who fought and bickered in front of him when she was young?

Even... they're not as good as those self-proclaimed elegant and powerful elites.

"Did you break the calamity I unleashed?"

Before Luo Yuheng's voice had completely dissipated, a grand and vast sound, as if carried by millions of believers chanting scriptures, swept across hundreds of miles.

This city, once sealed off by ice and snow, is now bathed in sunlight.
Countless ordinary believers, upon hearing the Buddha's voice, intuitively felt as if an Arhat was sitting before them, exuding boundless domineering power yet also carrying a touch of compassion.

"Arhat! The Arhat has appeared!"

"The Buddha sent down Arhats to avert the calamity for us!"

"Amitabha……"

Countless believers knelt on the ground, and the entire city was instantly filled with the sound of chanting.

They only felt that the chanting was grand and profound, but they couldn't understand the meaning it contained.

It's as if... this blizzard was something they were meant to endure.

The Arhats broke through the wind and snow, and were about to come here to bestow blessings upon them.

"If you submit now, I can vouch for you with the help of the Human Clan and see if I can save you."

After all, it was Li Ming who saved her, so Luo Yuheng still felt a little reluctant.

"hehe!"

Dawn remained silent, facing the overwhelming pressure from the sky without any concern, and strode forward.

Whoosh!

As the Arhat approached the hundred-mile stretch of wind and clouds, a blizzard swept in, dispersing the thin clouds in the sky and completely obscuring the sun.

boom!
Under immense pressure, the earth within a radius of a thousand feet centered on dawn suddenly sank by one foot.

A cloud of smoke and dust rose into the sky.

At dawn, he strolled leisurely through the dust and smoke.

With each step, the blazing, swirling dust, resembling a long dragon, would fall silent.

Until his figure was only ten miles away from the Arhat.

The vast blood energy within his body, as immense as mountains and seas, suddenly trembled and manifested in the void, almost solidifying into a tangible form.

Like a blazing sun shining across the sky.

The blizzard suddenly dissipated.

boom!
This second-grade Arhat suddenly hovered at the edge of the sky, his entire body seemingly cast in gilded metal. With each blink of his eyes, he subtly locked onto the aura of dawn, revealing a hint of apprehension.
"who are you?"

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that I want to borrow your Immortal Dao Fruit to take a look!"

Li Ming stood tall with his head held high, his two eyes shining with an astonishing light.

Dao Fruit! In the Buddhist system of the Western Regions, the advancement paths for monks who want to become stronger are mainly divided into two systems: the Zen system and the Martial system!

Among them, the monks of the Chan school, when they cultivate to the level of a fourth-grade ascetic monk.

Those who make small vows can attain the status of Arhat.

Those who make great vows can attain the Bodhisattva status!

Once a position is established, it cannot be changed or advanced.

Among them, Arhats, while attaining their fruition, can also obtain Dao fruits by relying on the relics they comprehend, thereby consolidating their second-grade realm!

In the Buddhist community of the Western Regions, there are three major attainments: Killing Thieves, Non-birth, and Supply!
The Arhat before us was as if cast in gilded gold, and deep within his body lay an extremely rich life force.

Moreover, with every gesture, countless forces of faith scattered down, almost distorting the void itself.

Clearly, the Dao Fruit inherited by this Arhat is the Dao Fruit of Non-Birth!
Therefore, many powerful figures who were suppressed by him called him the Arhat Who Does Not Give Birth.

But his real name is Duqing Luohan.

At that time, the Buddha was sealed away by the former Confucian sage.

Dawn, on the other hand, was extremely curious about Buddhist and Taoist systems...

Of course, it was definitely not because Dawn wanted to explore the depths of the Buddhist and Taoist systems that she deliberately came to the Western Desert!

"What are you!"

The Arhat who did not give birth had a fierce look in his eyes. A huge rage suddenly rose up and transformed into an extremely intense fighting spirit, which overwhelmed the last bit of fear in his heart.

What a joke! Although this place is on the outskirts of the Buddhist kingdom, it is openly a city belonging to the Great Feng Dynasty.

However, due to the continuous encroachment of Buddhism, this place has long since become the domain of the Buddhist kingdom!

As long as he is in the Buddhist realm, he will always have a continuous source of faith power, which he can use at will.

Its power is virtually limitless!

Even a being at the first-rank level might not be able to completely suppress or annihilate him here.

Although the martial artist before him was filled with a powerful aura that surprised him slightly, his aura was only at the third rank.

Where do they get the right to be so arrogant!
Rumble!
The Arhat, who did not give birth to the Buddha, glared angrily, his aura surging like that of the Buddha descending to earth.

The people inside the city felt an endless sense of oppression descending upon them.

The boundless power of faith transformed into Buddha's light, rising into the sky, as if at the end of the heavens, a new sun radiating infinite warmth rose!
The Buddha has the heart of a Bodhisattva, but also the wrath of a Vajra!

At this moment, the Arhat who has not been born is just like that wrathful Vajra.

Because of his unique status of non-birth and the special nature of his relics, his physical strength is comparable to that of a third-grade Buddhist Vajra!

The physical strength of a third-grade Buddhist Vajra is equivalent to that of a martial artist of the same level!

In other words, the Arhat in front of me is a second-rank immortal.

Not only does he possess the terrifying Arhat status, but he also has a physique comparable to a third-rank martial artist!
"Huh... such a loud noise, is this... not giving birth?"

At the far end of the Buddha land in the endless distance, a fierce Vajra slightly raised its eyes, then closed them again.

Bu Sheng has always been domineering and tyrannical. Although he is clearly a second-grade Arhat, he always calls himself the wrathful Vajra under the Buddha.

We must let believers in the Buddhist land who are not steadfast in their faith know that thunder and rain are all blessings from the Buddha!
Therefore, he often traveled around the world, spreading his message far and wide.

Although some Buddhists applauded this tyrannical and capricious behavior, believing it greatly reduced the difficulty for them to harvest faith.

But the Buddhist community is so vast that it is naturally not monolithic.

Clearly, some people find their behavior particularly distasteful.

However, when faced with readily apparent benefits, such Buddhists are destined to be only a minority.

Under the long-term suppression of the majority, even they have been forced to remain silent for a long time.

Rumble!
In an instant, the aura emanating from the two was so powerful that even mortals hundreds of miles away could sense it.

A hundred miles away, in the middle of the wasteland, Luo Yuheng's eyes gleamed.

This person... does seem to possess the foundation to rival an Arhat.

Then what about her presumptuous advice just now...?
After all, she was just a girl in her early teens, not the Grand Preceptor of the Great Feng Kingdom decades later. Even with Luo Yuheng's current state of mind and cultivation, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

……

"Hmm... This is getting interesting! It's finally making me feel a bit pressured!"

Li Ming's muscles trembled and crackled, and his body grew taller inch by inch with the help of this vast blood energy.

In the blink of an eye, it had already reached a height of twelve feet!
As he grew taller, in the depths of Bush Rohan's eyes, Dawn's aura had risen to an unimaginable height.

In an instant, two suns shone brightly in the sky.

One is vast and fiery, extremely yang and strong, ancient and boundless.

One is grand and gentle, seemingly all-encompassing, yet it contains a hint of violence within!
It is as if it is a combination of a compassionate bodhisattva and a wrathful vajra.

The two contended with each other, vying for control over the energy of heaven and earth, and for a time, it was difficult to determine who was superior.

As dawn broke and he gazed at all of this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"The Buddhist path is indeed quite good!"

As his foundation in the third-rank martial arts realm has increased over the past few days, his strength has undergone an astonishing transformation compared to when he first advanced to the third rank in the Great Feng Royal City!

From today's perspective, the third rank of martial arts can roughly correspond to the level of the third level of the four extremes!

Now, he finds himself in this predicament.

The aura of this second-grade Arhat before us is incredibly intense.

Li Ming guessed that his cultivation level was already comparable to the Crimson Hou and the Black Serpent he encountered in the Great Universe of Shrouding the Heavens.

He has roughly reached the third level before the Dragon Transformation stage!
But... for cultivators who cover the sky, realm is just a realm, but combat power is another matter!

Although Li Ming has temporarily lost his complete Ancient Sacred Body, his supreme fist intent and his path of the Human Emperor still exist!
"The Buddha's teachings are supreme and beyond your comprehension!"

The Arhat who does not give birth has accumulated his aura to its peak.

Finally, unable to contain himself any longer, he roared, each word a powerful surge of energy that created a towering, wrathful Vajra statue that shattered the surrounding air currents!
In the hands of the wrathful Vajra, a vajra that seems to support the heavens is held, and the vast power of faith burns, transforming into endless Buddhist light that adheres to the vajra.

Rumble!
In an instant, the pillar of heaven collapsed, and the Vajra Pestle, which slowly tilted down, was both extremely fast and extremely slow.

The Buddha's light and Dharma image merged with the blood energy brewing deep within his body, instantly enveloping the dawn completely!

This battle, after all, was being fought under the watchful eyes of countless believers.

He must win spectacularly!

Go all out in one strike!

You think I'm praising you?

Li Ming's expression was indifferent, with a cold smile playing on his lips.

The one he always admired was the Buddha, who created this system and was sealed away by the Confucian sages countless years ago!

Or perhaps... he was the Dao Venerable who created the three great Dao sects of Heaven, Earth, and Man, whose wisp of thought permeated the Dao of Heaven, and who ultimately created Buddhism in the Western Regions!
Such a terrifying talent, even if placed in the vast universe of Shrouding the Heavens, would probably still rise to prominence in a suitable era and achieve the ultimate realm!

That's the key reason he expressed his admiration!
It was not an exaggeration to praise the Arhat's spiritual practice!
As he spoke softly, the already shattered earth sank once more with a deafening roar.

On the thousand-foot-high peak where he stood, a person collapsed and shattered under the terrifying rolling of blood energy, torn into dust by the scorching air currents.

Rumble!
Amidst billowing smoke and dust, Li Ming loosely clenched his fists, and a seal appeared.
