The God of the Human Realm!

Chapter 122 Utilizing myriad forces, overwhelming the entire arena.

The powerful energy surged forth, as abundant as a torrent, engulfing everything below.

With a fierce roar, Huiming, the abbot of Jingang Temple, shot forward like an arrow, unleashing all his strength as he swiftly pounced, his palm striking through the air.

Hong Yuan suddenly felt the surrounding air boiling, as if it were on fire and rapidly heating up, or as if it had turned into an impenetrable wall, locking him firmly inside.

Although the Venerable Envoy Bianzhao did not speak, his actions were no slower than Huiming's. His figure was elusive and unpredictable, like an unreal phantom. His five fingers moved with incredible speed, forming hand seals. In a seemingly effortless manner, he blocked all of Hong Yuan's routes of advance and retreat.

In the Vajra Temple, the two top experts from the righteous and evil factions of the Red Lotus Sect, who were fighting to the death just moments before, suddenly joined forces in perfect harmony, unleashing a swift and deadly attack.

Killing Hong Yuan was secondary.

The ultimate goal is still to seize that 'Eye of Nirvana'!
Hong Yuan was immediately caught in the two's all-encompassing attack.

With the formidable strength of these two masters, not to mention mortal bodies, even a body made of metal would be shattered.

Hong Yuan didn't know if, with his current physique, he could withstand it without using his strength to cover it.

Fortunately, he didn't need to try.

As the surging force pressed down, he stretched out one hand and made a grasping motion, as if a handle had grown out of the void in front of him.

Huiming and Bianzhao Zunshi immediately felt their bodies being pulled, and involuntarily leaned forward. They hurriedly tried to steady themselves, but the energy they had gathered had already dissipated.

Although it was only a slight leak, it caused the net-like attack to pause. Hong Yuan seized the opportunity and darted away like lightning through the 'gap'.

Huiming and Bianzhao Zunshi immediately made their moves, their palms clashing. One was fierce and explosive, like a mountain torrent or volcanic lava erupting, while the other was dense and gentle, each gust carrying a sinister and sharp cutting force!
A shadow flashed.

Hong Yuan swiftly darted out, and the attacks of Huiming and Venerable Bianzhao collided, instantly unleashing a dense burst of muffled sounds. The scattered energy flowed out, rapidly swirling up sand and gravel fragments that danced in the air.

Hong Yuan stood atop a vast expanse of ruins.

Flames spread all around, and streaks of fire, propelled by the wind, gradually ignited the large trees in the courtyard, resembling torches.

Hui Tong, the head of the Discipline Hall, changed his expression drastically. He stepped forward and leaped onto a collapsed giant wall, shouting, "Disciples, listen to my command! Go and put out the fire immediately!"

The sound echoed like rolling thunder.

Huitong knew very well that neither the Red Lotus Cult demons nor the thief who suddenly appeared and stole his Vajra Temple's treasure could be dealt with by ordinary disciples.

It would be better to let the disciples put out the fire. If the fire is allowed to spread, even if the evil demons are repelled, the Vajra Temple will suffer heavy losses from its centuries of accumulation.

"Uncle-Master Huitong, that villain calls himself 'Wanjie Daoist' and forced his way in. He seriously injured Huizhen in the front hall earlier. Uncle-Masters Huichi, you must be careful!"

A monk shouted loudly.

The man had a mature appearance, and his palm was wrapped with a piece of yellow cloth, which showed traces of blood.

"What?" Hui Tong's expression grew even colder upon hearing this.

A cold glint also appeared in the eyes of the Chief Justice of the Good Court, Hui Zhi.

Amidst the dissipating dust, Huiming and Bianzhao Venerable both let out a cold snort and retreated several feet. Huiming stood still, his gaze once again fixed on Hong Yuan.

Wan Jie Dao Ren?

Previously, Shi Ming and the other two had already noticed the commotion in the front hall, but before they could set off to investigate, the secret treasure tower was already enveloped by a fire dragon.

Whoosh whoosh!
One after another, figures rushed over. Sanhui of Vajra Temple, Bianzhao Venerable Envoy of Red Lotus Sect, Red Lotus, Pure Dharma King, Baosheng Dharma King and others also used their movement techniques to clearly separate the two sides, but at the same time surrounded Hong Yuan.

Roar!
The corpse puppet leaped up, its heavy body crashing to the ground. With a clear, tinkling sound, it landed beside Honglian.

Seven top experts and a deadly, invulnerable, and extremely poisonous corpse puppet are lurking in the shadows. Such a lineup would be terrifying anywhere in the world. Even grandmasters would not dare to confront them head-on, but would instead retreat and use their superior mobility to defeat them one by one.

Hong Yuan weighed the black and white 'pebbles' in his hand. Facing the gazes, some sharp and some dark, he remained calm, shook his head and sighed, "A group of monks with impure desires and all kinds of poisons, a group of demons and monsters that are neither human nor ghost, were fighting to the death just now, but now they are united against a common enemy."

“It’s so fun!”

He spread his palms out flat, revealing his eyeball in the center. Instantly, everyone's gaze turned to him, and their auras surged, ready to strike.

"This item is called 'The Eye of Nirvana'? Please forgive my limited knowledge, but could you experts please enlighten me on what is so extraordinary about this item that makes you all risk your lives to obtain it?"

Ratnasambhava patted his large belly with a beaming smile, while Chingjing Dharma King narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Hong Yuan, this uninvited guest.

Honglian combed her hair, her every smile and frown exuding charm.

Envoy Bianzhao stared at Hong Yuan, his deep eyes suddenly becoming bright and clear, reflecting Hong Yuan's image.

Huitong snorted and stepped forward, about to speak, when Huiming waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Wanjie, this 'Eye of Nirvana' is an eye left behind by the Buddha when he entered Nirvana. It is a treasure of our Vajra Temple. Please return it to our temple."

Huiming's previous rage stemmed from the fact that his family's treasures had been stolen by outsiders, and he had lost his mind in anger.

Now that my anger has subsided somewhat, I'm gradually calming down.

The main reason was the strength displayed by the Myriad Tribulations Daoist, who easily escaped from the siege of him and the All-Illuminating Venerable Envoy, and even tricked the two of them.

Although Huizhen and Huichi, the two junior brothers, were severely injured by the enemy, they were not dead, so there was still room for maneuver.

The most pressing issue at present is the threat posed by the Red Lotus Cult.

The four top experts include one of the two envoys, the Venerable Envoy of Illumination, a demoness who has cultivated the "Empty Flower Painted Skin Technique", and a powerful corpse puppet.

If we are not careful, not only could the 'Eye of Nirvana' not be preserved, but the four-hundred-year-old foundation of Vajra Temple could also be destroyed.

Red Lotus's eyes sparkled, and her voice was soft: "Old Abbot, you are shameless. This 'Eye of Nirvana' is clearly a possession of the 'Great Desire Heaven' of my Red Lotus Holy Sect. It has been hidden away by these bald monks for so many years... Fellow Daoist Wan Jie, do not be deceived by him."

"Silence, you witch!" Huitong roared, his voice booming like thunder: "Stop blaspheming my Buddha's sacred objects!"

Hong Yuan smiled and said, "Both sides have their own reasons. Since you both claim this item as yours, why don't you have a contest and then decide who owns it?"

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent.

Huiming paused for a moment, then suddenly said, “Fellow Daoist Wanjie, the ‘Eye of Nirvana’ can be entrusted to you for safekeeping for now. However, the evil people of the Red Lotus Sect are causing havoc on the world. Today, they have committed countless sins before the Buddha. I ask that you lend our temple a hand to defeat the evil cult. Consider it a favor our temple owes you.”

"I've always been very interested in exorcising demons, but I haven't done it much before, so I'm a bit rusty. Master, you've been chanting Buddhist scriptures for many years, so you must have a lot of experience. Please give me a demonstration first..."

Before Hong Yuan could finish speaking, a cold voice rang out: "There's no need to fight over who's first; you're all going to die!"

laugh!
The Pure Dharma King, who was already standing behind Hong Yuan, leaped up, his fingers flashing with cold stars, like stars falling and piercing the sky.

A bone-chilling aura penetrated his body, instantly flowing in through his back. The Pure Dharma King arrived in a flash, his claws already touching Hong Yuan's clothes.

His [Shattering Star Claw Technique] was known for its speed; its extreme speed combined with unparalleled finger strength was enough to cut through metal. The Pure Dharma King's face was cold and stern, but his eyes held a cruel and ferocious glint.

The Gang Body is a combination of magic and martial arts. Magic is like borrowing life from heaven, and what is borrowed must be repaid. People who cultivate the Gang Body often have a biased and distorted mind.

This is not something that can be resisted by sheer willpower, but rather a 'minor' price that must be paid to achieve the Gang Body.

Ding Ding Ding!
Just as the Pure Dharma King's claws were about to strike, a surge of energy suddenly rose from Hong Yuan's back. This energy was gentle and subtle, seemingly insignificant, yet it swiftly blocked the fierce claw.

As the claw descended, the force exploded, transforming into countless tiny, hair-like flying needles that pierced through the cold stars.

A formless force that breaks through the body!
The Pure Dharma King felt a powerful resistance, and his fingers and palms immediately ached. Countless tiny holes had appeared in his palms, which were as hard as metal.

The dense, needle-like force invaded his palms, reaching his limbs, bones, and internal organs, wreaking havoc. It was like invisible swords controlled by someone, using his body as a battleground to wage a chaotic war.

"what!"

Even with the pure will of the Dharma King, he couldn't suppress a low growl, his face instantly turning pale, and he staggered backward.

"You give me a claw, I'll give you one back!"

Phew!

Hong Yuan pulled out a claw with his backhand. Although he had not cultivated any kind of physical body, the toughness of his palm was no different from that of a sword that had been forged a thousand times. He easily pierced through the heart of the Pure Dharma King.

He grabbed its still-beating heart, and with a burst of force, it exploded.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Hong Yuan withdrew his palm, and despite the force blocking it, it remained spotless and clean, even the splattered blood was swept away by an invisible net.

Behind him, the Pure Dharma King let out a heart-wrenching roar, and the man danced wildly as if drunk, yet he was not dead, tearing apart the stones around him with his claws.

"First!"

For Yu Hongyuan, the Gang Body was the most useless thing, since he couldn't possibly cultivate something with so many side effects.

It would be good to obtain it, but it will never restrict my actions; I will kill when necessary.

Even if you can't get it now, it's okay. Once you achieve the double crown, you won't need to take action yourself. Just say a word, and people will come to you.

"what?"

As soon as the Pure Dharma King made his move, the Venerable Envoy of Universal Illumination and others also moved. They only paused for a moment, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the surprise attack from behind by the Pure Dharma King failed, and he was instead pierced through the heart by the Myriad Tribulations Daoist's claw.

"Junior Brother Qingjing!"

Dharma King Baosheng's eyes were bloodshot. He and Qingjing were originally fellow disciples who practiced Buddhism together. Later, they ran away together because they disagreed with certain Buddhist ideas. They gained the appreciation of the Red Lotus Holy Lord and entered the Red Lotus Sect.

That happened many years ago.

Although the two had their share of conflicts over the years, making it known to everyone in the church that they were at odds, their old friendship could not be faked.

With a roar, it seemed as if thunder exploded beneath his feet, and a large piece of blue stone was kicked away, cutting through the air like a football and hurtling off.

At the same time, he stopped with his foot, the ground trembled violently, and he shot out like lightning.

"In the martial world, it's common for you to kill me and for me to kill you. Why make it so tragic?"

Hong Yuan laughed heartily, his feet spun lightly, and he moved three feet away in mid-air, just in time to avoid the 'ball' that shot through the air. The swift airflow made his hair flutter.

"Kung Fu Soccer?"

Hong Yuan still had time to complain, then suddenly threw a punch, the energy on his fist turning into a spiral, like a halo flowing.

Immediately afterwards, his fist collided with the leg that was coming down from Dharma King Baosheng. The spiraling energy burst out, and the fist and Baosheng's foot did not actually make contact. The invisible energy exploded.

Baosheng let out a muffled groan and his body flew backward like a cannonball.

As Hong Yuan threw a punch, he also pointed his other hand out like a sword, pointing towards the empty space to his side without even looking.

Ding!
A soft sound, like striking a jade chime.

Where Hong Yuan pointed his sword, ripples spread through the air, as if the calm surface of water had been broken, revealing a sparse figure with a look of astonishment on his face.

Hong Yuan's fingertips wielded energy like swords, hissing and tearing through streams of air. The figure waved his long sleeves, his eyes as clear as water.

Wow!

Hong Yuan seemed to hear the sound of splashing water, followed by a series of crisp "pop pop pop" sounds as his fingers struck, as if he were shattering mirrors.

Behind the mirror, the fleeting figure of the Venerable Envoy was revealed, his expression solemn.

"This martial art is called the 'Mirror World Heart Method,' right?"

Hong Yuan also heard the conversation between Hong Lian and Venerable Bianzhao earlier. His gaze fell on Venerable Bianzhao. To the naked eye, the other party seemed elusive, as if he were close at hand, yet far away, and impossible to fathom.

It's less a martial art and more a sophisticated illusion.

It is because of his extraordinary comprehension and the incredible power of his spirit that he can easily see through the illusions and the truth. Ordinary martial artists, even those who have reached the level of the Subtle Realm, would probably be manipulated by him.

"An interesting martial art. Could you teach me?"

The Venerable Envoy of Bianzhao remained indifferent, his face returning to its usual expression of neither joy nor sorrow. Suddenly, a clear, melodious bell rang, and a roar arose from the sky. A fierce figure shot towards him, his fists swirling and enveloping Hong Yuan's entire body.

Hong Yuan looked at the tall figure in front of him, who wore a bronze mask and resembled a wild beast. He sensed through his spiritual perception that the figure had no trace of human life and couldn't help but sigh.

"Old Song, you've really become Prison Song now!"

He could naturally recognize the true identity of the bronze-masked man, after all, he and Lao Song had become kindred spirits through a misunderstanding.

scoff!

Amidst the tearing wind, Hong Yuan moved like lightning, leaping up and slamming his foot heavily into the corpse puppet's face. The bronze mask immediately groaned under the weight, sinking deeply into the puppet's face.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Hong Yuan soared into the air and instantly appeared above Hui Ming, Hui Tong, Hui Zhi, and the others. The net was spread out, and a vast and powerful aura pressed down upon them.

"Didn't the three masters say they were going to subdue demons and monsters? We can't just stand by and watch, let's all come together!"
