Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 198 Zhunti's Benevolent Corpse Manifests Holy Power, Engaging in a Magical Battle for Countless Ages in a Dream

I heard the bewitching voice coming from the dream world from the benevolent corpse of Zhunti.

Ma Yuandao's heart was as still as an ancient well, without the slightest ripple.

Within his primordial spirit's sea of ​​consciousness, the third-grade Great Dao Merit Chaos Lotus, rooted in the origin of the Great Dao, swayed gently.

Then countless chaotic rays of light descended, protecting his entire primordial spirit completely.

It can be said to be impervious to all laws and indestructible by all eons.

The so-called enlightenment in a dream is nothing but a mirage.

The path he seeks is to create a real and authentic world from chaos, so how could he be swayed by this mere illusion?

Ma Yuan did not continue to try to forcefully break through the layers of dreams with his magic.

He knew that the sage's supernatural powers were profound, and that if he attacked blindly, he would only waste his magical power and fall into the enemy's trap.

He simply sat cross-legged in the center of this dream world, his expression indifferent, without sorrow or joy.

The next moment, a massive, boundless, thirty-six-petaled, five-colored lotus platform materialized out of thin air beneath him.

On the lotus platform, the divine light of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—rotated endlessly, evolving into earth, water, fire, and wind, thus reopening chaos.

Thirty-six azure sea-stabilizing pearls, like stars in the heavens, slowly rose and fell around the lotus platform.

Within each divine pearl is reflected a mysterious and unfathomable scroll depicting the creation of the world.

The phenomena of birth and death, and the evolution of all beings in the world above are clearly visible.

The thirty-six illusory worlds intertwined to form an absolute domain, completely enveloping Ma Yuan's figure and isolating him from all intrusions from the Great Dream World.

Let the dream world be filled with a shower of heavenly flowers and the emergence of golden lotuses from the earth, evolving into endless profound principles of the Great Dao, or with thunder and lightning, and chaotic turmoil, manifesting endless calamities and carnage.

Ma Yuan remained steadfast under the protection of those thirty-six worlds, his true spirit like an ancient divine mountain, untouched by dust.

Meanwhile, the outside world.

The gentle smile on the face of the benevolent corpse of Zhunti slowly faded.

For the first time, a genuine look of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

He originally thought that no matter how profound Ma Yuan's otherworldly path was, he was ultimately just a Great Golden Immortal.

Even before his saintly and benevolent corpse, it was still difficult to stir up any waves.

But now it seems that I have completely underestimated this mere hermit cultivator.

His great dream-like supernatural power was no ordinary illusion.

It is a supreme and wondrous method evolved by the two Western Saints from their own cultivation of the Great Dao of Dreams, and it is also one of the great supernatural powers of the Western religion that can suppress the fortune of the sect.

Once this supernatural power is unleashed, it can silently pull a person into layers of dreams, using their greatest obsession as a guide to construct a dream world where reality and illusion are indistinguishable.

Even a quasi-saint would find it difficult to resist the supreme temptation of the perfect Dao.

Ultimately, he lost his moral compass and was transformed into nothingness by his own actions.

He originally thought that Ma Yuan's greatest obsession was to open up the thirty-six great worlds and attain the Primordial Dao Fruit.

Using this as bait, converting him is a piece of cake.

Unexpectedly, the other party had a firm Dao heart and seemed to be protected by great merit, making them not as simple as I had thought.

Instead of succumbing to temptation, he summoned his most precious treasure to protect himself, displaying an attitude of remaining unmoved no matter how the situation changes.

"He is indeed an anomaly."

Zhunti, the benevolent corpse, thought to himself, and then showed no more mercy.

With this thought in mind, he slowly extended his palm from the outside world and gently pressed it towards the silent dream world.

Boom! ! !
That dream world, which was originally unpredictable, was suddenly turned upside down!
A vast and boundless golden Buddhist kingdom suddenly manifested in the void of that dream.

Within the Buddhist kingdom, hundreds of millions of believers devoutly chant scriptures, and endless incense offerings and vows converge into a sea. Furthermore, the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, the Seven Treasures Bodhi Forest, and other wondrous phenomena of the Western Paradise appear one by one.

A gigantic golden hand, obscuring the sky, reached out from the center of the Buddhist kingdom and grabbed down at Ma Yuan's head!

This is the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand.

However, its mystery far surpasses the supernatural powers displayed by Maitreya in the past.

Within the lines of that giant hand's palm, countless golden threads of cause and effect were frantically intertwined, radiating an overbearing aura that seemed intent on forcibly forging a karmic bond with Ma Yuan.

This benevolent corpse of Zhunti actually intended to use its great magical power to forcibly bind Ma Yuan's karmic connection with the Western Religion within this dream world.

Based on this, thoroughly convert it!
Seeing this, Ma Yuan also activated his most fundamental Dao of Cause and Effect.

He did not get up, but simply waved his hand lightly in the air in front of him.

hum! ! !
The enormous, boundless, thirty-six-petaled, five-colored lotus platform beneath it trembled violently, and a gray millstone phantom, embodying the three great principles of the Five Elements Reincarnation, Yin and Yang, and Cause and Effect Locking, emerged in response, heading towards the golden giant hand!
The Great Millstone of Five Elements, Yin and Yang, Cause and Effect!
boom! ! !
The golden giant hand and the gray millstone collided violently, and countless dream worlds trembled violently and collapsed on the spot under this terrifying collision, only to be recreated again.

The golden thread of cause and effect, containing the power of the Western religion's grand aspirations, clashed with Ma Yuan's primordial power of cause and effect from the thirty-six worlds, engaging in the most original and fundamental clash of the Great Dao.

The karmic power of the benevolent corpse of Zhunti is extremely domineering.

Its essence lies in distortion and cover-up, forcibly attributing the fruits of fate to Ma Yuan.

Ma Yuan's power of cause and effect is perfectly harmonious and self-consistent.

Its core lies in cycles and obliteration, aiming to completely erase these external causes and turn them into nothingness.

Two completely different philosophies of the Dao clashed fiercely in this small space, resulting in a stalemate for a time.

Time has no limits in dreams; even a fleeting moment can be eternity.

The great battle between Ma Yuan and the benevolent corpse of Zhunti seemed to have lasted for countless ages.

Throughout this period, the seductive voice of the benevolent corpse of Zhunti never ceased, constantly expounding on the wonders of the Western Paradise and the grand vow of equality for all beings, attempting to shake Ma Yuan's resolve at the level of his Daoist heart.

However, Ma Yuan remained unmoved and resisted in his own way.

The illusory images of the thirty-six worlds around him rotate, expounding the profound truth of "my body is the universe, my heart is the heart of heaven" to this dream world.

That spirit of self-improvement and carefree wandering from the world was subtly showing a tendency to erode this Buddhist kingdom in the palm of your hand.

Countless millennia have passed, and this long stalemate has finally come to an end, with a victor emerging.

The karmic power of the benevolent corpse of Zhunti ultimately relies on the saintly deity and the fortune of the Western religion, which is an external seeking path.

Ma Yuan's Great Way, however, originates from the world he created himself, and its foundation lies within himself; it is a way of seeking within.

When it comes to pure perseverance, Ma Yuan's unconventional approach ultimately wins by a hair's breadth.

With a crisp crack, the very essence of the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of the hand was finally crushed by the millstone, leaving a slight crack.

"break!"

With the Heavenly Mandate in his mouth, Ma Yuan caused the Karma Millstone to shine brightly, its power surging as it crashed upwards with tremendous force!
With a deafening roar, the Buddha kingdom in the palm shattered, transforming into a sky full of golden light!
Ma Yuan slowly stood up, looked at Zhunti's benevolent corpse across the Great Dream World, and slowly spoke.

"Even the three corpses of a sage are nothing more than this."

These words are like adding fuel to the fire!
"Shuzi is arrogant!"

Zhunti, the benevolent corpse, flew into a rage and could no longer maintain the gentle demeanor of a highly enlightened being.

"Today, I will show you what the majesty of a sage truly is!"

Before he finished speaking, his originally slender figure actually appeared in the Great Dream World, swelled against the wind and wind, and transformed into a Vajra Dharma Image that was a million feet tall, with eight arms and a ferocious face amidst the ten thousand feet of Buddha light! The Vajra Dharma Image had three heads and six eyes, glaring at all living beings. Its terrifying power was no less than that of the true forms of the Twelve Ancestral Witches in the past!
Even more terrifying is that each of its eight thick, mountain-like arms holds a Buddhist treasure that shines with brilliant Buddhist light and exudes Taoist charm!
The four arms on the left side hold a vajra, a golden lotus, a bodhi seed, and a bamboo stick for purifying the six senses.

The four arms on the right side each hold a golden bowl, a precious banner, a precious pennant, and a merit mirror.

The eight treasures are all innate spiritual treasures with boundless power.

At this moment, in the hands of the saintly good corpse, it unleashed an unparalleled power capable of destroying heaven and earth.

An earth-shattering battle is about to erupt!
However, faced with such a deadly situation.

Ma Yuan simply stood calmly on the lotus platform, a thought flashing through his mind.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
In an instant, several beams of light shot into the sky from his body!

A large, ancient banner, entirely black and embroidered with the "Return of All Waters to the Origin" pattern, slowly unfurled behind him, transforming into an endless barrier of mysterious water. This was the Northern Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner!
A simple and ancient Taoist robe, with black and white qi flowing freely and the natural charm of yin and yang, is draped over his body and manifests a Tai Chi diagram. It is impervious to all magic and is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Yin-Yang Taoist Robe!
Above its head, the Great Dao Merit Wheel hangs high, cascading down countless streams of profound and yellow merit energy, warding off all evil!

In his hands, he held up the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls that shone with boundless light, as if they held the thirty-six chaotic worlds within them!
In addition, treasures such as the Yin-Yang Dao Palace, the Wordless Dao Scripture, and the Chaos Ancestral Stone broke through the boundary and swirled around, radiating precious light and Daoist charm.

With numerous treasures bestowed upon him, Ma Yuan's aura also rose steadily.

It actually held its own against the eight-armed, wrathful corpse of Zhunti, holding its own against him.

Over countless years, this supreme world, evolved from the Great Dao of the Sage's Dream, collapsed and regenerated countless times under the battle of the two.

The eight-armed, wrathful Vajra, which was transformed from the benevolent corpse of Cundi, holds eight precious Buddhist treasures.

Each move he made stirred up the Western Religion's fortune, unleashing supreme power capable of suppressing ordinary quasi-saints.

However, Ma Yuan remained standing on the thirty-six-petaled, five-colored lotus platform, unmoved as a mountain.

Its body was surrounded by numerous precious treasures that shone brightly, and its Daoist aura flowed, completely neutralizing all attacks.

The Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag transformed into a Xuan Shui Barrier could only create ripples no matter how the Demon-Subduing Pestle struck it; it was ultimately unable to break through its fundamental defense.

The Yin-Yang Taoist robe he wore was even more mysterious and unparalleled. As the black and white energies circulated, they completely reversed and disrupted the converting sounds contained in the Buddhist banners and pennants, rendering them useless.

More importantly, Ma Yuan's magical power was so immense that it seemed inexhaustible and endless!

His five-dimensional world, which he had already successfully created, was now slowly rotating behind him, transforming into five deep and boundless black holes.

Within the world, the incense and prayers of countless beings converge into the purest torrent of magical power, transcending world barriers and continuously flowing into Ma Yuan's body.

Furthermore, the Azure Dragon Ancestor and the Yinglong Ancestor, who had already attained the Quasi-Saint Dao Fruit, along with the Nine Sons of the Ancestral Dragon and other dragon elders at the Great Luo Realm, all exerted their power within the world.

He poured his vast and powerful magical energy into Ma Yuandao's body without reservation to support it.

With this support, Ma Yuan's magical power was inexhaustible.

On the other hand, the more Zhunti's benevolent corpse was beaten, the uglier his expression became.

He was ultimately not the true saint, and could not directly invoke the power of the Heavenly Dao; therefore, his magical power also had its limits.

The intense battles that had raged in the dream world for countless years had already taken a toll on him, and his aura had become somewhat weak.

In contrast, Ma Yuan remained full of energy and vitality, his aura as deep as the sea, as if he had no energy depletion.

The opponent's endless stream of top-tier treasures and unfathomable supreme supernatural powers made Zhunti's good corpse feel extremely troubled.

He was extremely frustrated.

As one of the three corpses of a sage, he represented the face of the sage walking in the primordial world.

Even though the two Western saints became saints by making forty-eight great vows.

Its foundation is not comparable to that of the Three Pure Ones, who were transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, nor can it be compared to the saint Nuwa, who possessed the immeasurable merits of creating humans and mending the heavens.

But a saint is a saint after all!

It is the supreme being that transcends all living beings in this primordial world!
Unexpectedly, today we are even unable to defeat a mere rogue cultivator who has not yet severed his three corpses and entered the quasi-saint realm. In fact, there is a faint trend that he will be worn down to death here!
How could he possibly tolerate such an utter humiliation?!
"scold!"

A furious roar echoed throughout the entire dream world.

Suddenly, the eight-armed Vajra Dharma Image gathered up the other seven treasures and poured all its magical power into the emerald green bamboo staff held by one of its arms!

Bamboo Grove, Pure in Six Roots!
hum! ! !
The emerald green bamboo staff shone with divine light, and its seven sections emitted seven colors of divine light: purity, stillness, silence, extinction, emptiness, nothingness, and the Tao.

Ultimately, it transformed into a supreme divine light powerful enough to seal the six senses of all beings, sweeping down towards Ma Yuan's head!

At the same time, the benevolent corpse of Zhunti also drew upon a trace of the power of the saint's true form!
Behind his Dharma image, a magnificent phantom of a tree, hundreds of millions of feet tall, with seven branches, adorned with seven supreme treasures of gold, silver, lapis lazuli, coral, amber, giant clam shell, and agate, slowly emerged!

The Seven Treasures Tree!

As soon as the phantom of the precious tree appeared, it exuded an unparalleled holy might that could sweep away and destroy anything.

Its target was Ma Yuan's many protective treasures, such as the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag and the Yin Yang Daoist Robe!

He actually intended to use swift and decisive means to first seal his six senses, and then take away his most precious treasure!
Once Ma Yuan loses the protection of his many treasures, he will be like a tiger with its teeth pulled, and will no longer be able to contend with him!

However, Ma Yuan seemed to have been prepared for this seemingly hopeless situation.

He slowly closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to the overwhelming divine power that was capable of destroying the world.

The next moment, above his brow and sea of ​​consciousness, a chaotic lotus platform with three-grade lotus petals burst forth from his body without warning!

The Great Dao's Merit and Virtue: The Chaos Lotus!
As soon as this lotus platform appeared, an aura of supreme merit, surpassing even the primordial Heavenly Dao and originating from the more ancient and supreme Chaos Dao, instantly spread out!
The Great Dao's merits govern all laws and purify all paths!
Under the influence of this supreme aura of merit, the Great Dream World of Saint Zhunti, which was originally extremely stable, began to tremble violently without warning, as if it might collapse on the spot at any moment!

The seven-colored divine light transformed from the six pure bamboos, and the supreme holy might emanating from the illusory image of the Seven Treasures Tree, touched the chaotic ripples of the Great Dao's merit the moment they touched.

They were firmly blocked outside and could not advance even an inch!
"This...this is?!"

Upon seeing this, Zhunti Shanshi was also filled with horrified shock, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Previously, although Ma Yuan had merits protecting him, they had not fully manifested.

He was so eager to convert Ma Yuan that he didn't investigate carefully.

Only when he saw the Chaos Lotus of Great Dao Merit did he realize that something was wrong!
The level of this aura of merit is so high that it far surpasses the great aspirations and merits upon which the Western Religion was founded, and even the merits of the Sage Nuwa in creating humans and mending the sky!
This is the supreme merit that, according to legend, was only bestowed upon Pangu, the Father God, when he created the world, from the highest chaotic Dao!

Great virtues!

Just who is this child?!

Just as Zhunti's benevolent corpse was in a state of great mental shock.

On the other side, Ma Yuan frowned slightly.

He clearly sensed that in order to withstand the full force of the saintly corpse's attack.

His great merits were being consumed at an alarming rate.

This treasure is the foundation of his extraordinary path and the key to his future attainment of the Primordial Dao; it must not be lost.

The current situation demands a swift resolution.

With this thought in mind, Ma Yuan no longer held back in the slightest.

He slowly raised his right hand, and a faint golden light flashed across his palm.

Immediately, he flicked his finger, and the golden light transformed into a stream of light, heading straight for the six pure bamboos floating in mid-air!
A golden, extraordinary treasure floated in the air.

Its shape is round on the outside and square on the inside, with two wings on its back, giving it an ancient and weathered appearance.

It was none other than the supreme treasure that could counter all other magical weapons in the world.

Lost money!
