All forces converged, and the Buddha Realm was established.
Four monks stood at the four corners, their dignified auras untouchable and fierce.
Seeing this, Xu Yang did not say anything more, but raised his hand and once again initiated the Unity of Heaven and Man stance.
The key to the battle between Grandmasters lay in the clash of stances and the struggle for power.
When four monks joined hands to set up the Buddha Realm, ordinary Grandmasters could hardly resist their momentum; anyone trapped within it was bound to be defeated.
But Xu Yang was no ordinary Grandmaster.
The Martial Path Communicates with God, Unity of Heaven and Man; these two Skill Traits, combined with his own abilities, yielded a result far more complex than a mere sum of parts.
With hands slightly lifted, the Unity of Heaven and Man took shape, and faintly, it seemed as if a giant, like a god or demon from legends, arose to stand between heaven and earth, opening up a vast space within the boundless Buddha Realm, taking partial control of the Yuan Qi.
“Hmm?!”
Observing that Xu Yang had established his stance within their Buddha Realm, the eyes of all four monks concentrated sharply.
In the Buddha Realm, he could still establish his stance?
Such capability was indeed terrifying; they must not let him remain!
“Amitabha!”
In an instant, the murderous intent transformed into a Buddhist intention, as the four monks chanted in unison, joining hands to subdue the demon.
The Emperor Heart Venerable held the Vajra Scepter and leaped up, striking with the staff. The power of the Buddha Realm lent its strength, greatly enhancing the fierceness of the attack.
Great Perfection Staff Skills!
Among the four monks, in terms of martial arts, Master Jiaxing’s Kuchan Profound Power was the foremost, known as the ultimate in defense.
The Great Perfection Staff Skills of Emperor Heart Venerable were next, belonging to the Vajra Demon Subduing category, followed by the Bodhidharma’s Hand of Daoxin and the Buddha’s Heart Palm of Zhihui, each with its own special traits.
As the one with the most potent offensive force, Emperor Heart Venerable inevitably took on the main assault task. When he employed the Great Perfection Staff Skills, it was as though a Vajra’s wrath was splitting the heavens and shaking the earth.
Daoxin and Zhihui, the other two monks, also executed the Bodhidharma’s
Hand and Buddha’s Heart Palm, pushing out left and right, with their mighty palms pressing down like mountains, also significantly boosted by the power of the Buddha Realm.
Only Master Jiaxing remained motionless, sitting in the void, with an expression of profound suffering, as if lamenting for the world.
Amid the tight encirclement, facing the Vajra Scepter coming straight at him and the Buddha’s Palm pressing from both sides, Xu Yang remained fearless and made his move.
With one hand he shook the Vajra, and with the other, he subdued the Tathagatha!
“Roar!”
The forceful hand sent out a dragon-like palm strike, unleashing a roaring dragon’s silhouette, embodying ultimate strength, righteousness, and grandeur.
The Fighting Scroll, Descending Dragon Chapter—Ascendant Dragon Returns to the Sea!
“Ascendant Dragon” signified the zenith of power, which when reached its peak, was bound to fall from the vault of heaven.
Thus, the essence of the original Descending Dragon Palm technique lay in the concept of “the ascending dragon regrets,” implying strength that was not exhausted.
But when combined with the Martial Arts Scripture, the ultimate move of the Fighting Scroll Dragon no longer contained the notion of regret. Instead, it became an unyielding stance.
What is unyielding?
To expend everything, leaving nothing behind, rather to snap than to bend, preferring death to retreat—that is unyielding.
This move brings forth the utmost of the Ascendant Dragon’s strong stance, not sparing even if it led to bloodshed across the cosmic plane or the Dragon
Soul returning to the sea,
Hence it is called—Ascendant Dragon Returns to the Sea!
An ultimate move without any reservation!
“Roar!!!”
The Ascendant Dragon roared, hurtling forward, crashing with full force into the Vajra Scepter.
The scepter’s shadow shattered, revealing its true form. Emperor Heart Venerable’s eyebrows trembled with shock, his body rigid, his hands pressing down on the scepter, beneath which lay the lifelike shadow of the Ascendant Dragon.
However…
This deadlock lasted but a fleeting moment.
“Roar!! ! ”
The Ascendant Dragon roared angrily, shattering mountains with its might, breaking the Vajra Scepter into pieces, with Emperor Heart Venerable himself being brutally hit by the dragon’s head, the unyielding force piercing through his body.
Just then…
“Amitabha!”
A Buddhist chant echoed grandly as Master Jiaxing suddenly made his move, appearing instantly behind Emperor Heart Venerable, steadying his body with a push and neutralizing the fierce power of the Ascendant Dragon.
Among the four monks, Jiaxing was the crown, his Kuchan Profound Power acclaimed as the ultimate in defense, immovable as a mountain, even surpassing the Emperor Heart’s Perfection in Staff Skills.
Up front, Jiaxing supported Emperor Heart, offsetting the force of the Ascendant Dragon.
Behind, Daoxin and Zhihui attacked in unison, their mountainous palms swiftly closing in.
“Bodhidharma’s Hand!”
“Buddha’s Heart Palm!”
The two monks executed their ultimate techniques without reservation, their overwhelming palms striking Xu Yang’s body.
Xu Yang did not dodge; with one hand, he manipulated the elements, revealing yin and yang qi, forming into black and white fish within his palm, receiving the two monks’ palm strikes with the motion of Tai Chi. Martial Arts Scripture Fighting Scroll—Qi Three Thousand!
“Whoosh-!”
As the mountainous palms struck down, the result was astonishingly graceful, with the yin and yang qi absorbing everything.
Not just absorbing but also unleashing!
Xu Yang gathered the palm strikes of the two monks and then transformed and released them, once again employing the Ascendant Dragon Returns to the Sea, assaulting Emperor Heart and Master Jiaxing fiercely.
Assimilating and unleashing, the Ascendant Dragon Returns to the Sea was even more powerful than before.
A flash of brilliance appeared in Master Jiaxing’s eyes, and he immediately shifted Emperor Heart behind him, confronting the attack himself.
To say he confronted it was still in his seated posture, as Master Jiaxing sat cross-legged, suspended in the void, appearing like an unmoving clay sculpture, calmly engaging in profound meditation, steadier than any mountain.
Kuchan Profound Power!
“Boom!!!”
The roaring Ascendant Dragon arrived, its tremors not inferior to thunder, sending ripples cascading out, threatening to fracture everything.
Nevertheless, Master Jiaxing remained inert, pushing his Kuchan Profound Power to its extreme, with the power of the Buddha Realm vastly supporting him, like an ancient Buddha clothed in black, seated in the void, enduring the battering of the Ascendant Dragon’s force.
As expected of the foremost among the four monks, unsurpassed in defense, despite the fierce attack of the Ascendant Dragon, the ancient Buddha with his sorrowful expression sat motionlessly in the void, unmoved, stable as Mount Tai.
Just as the Ascendant Dragon was about to expend all its force and dissipate without achievement.
Xu Yang tapped the ground with one foot and leaped into the air, a dazzling golden light like the proud sun, surprisingly…
A True Dragon appeared with a roar, piercing through the layers of Buddhist light, soaring straight into the sky above.
Descending Dragon, what is meant by Descending Dragon?
The original Descending Dragon Palm of the Beggar’s Guild referred to subduing the opponent, implying that its palm strength was so fierce that it could subdue a dragon.
But after integrating with the Martial Arts Scripture, this Descending Dragon
Palm had transformed beyond recognition. The essence of “Descending Dragon” no longer pertained to others but to oneself. It was about subduing the dragon within, the strength of one’s self.
To put it simply, it was about developing one’s own body to its ultimate limit, mobilizing the strength of every organ, every muscle, every bone, and even every cell, to fully control and master one’s own abilities—this is “Descending Dragon!”
Such a realm existed only in theory and had not been achieved before, as ordinary martial artists simply could not fully control and master themselves. But now, Xu Yang had attained and realized it!
In the realm of Condensing Spirit, envisioning oneself, and then combining it with the mysterious power of “Martial Path Communicates with God,” he ultimately reached this theoretical extreme of the cultivation technique, subdued the dragon within, and mastered the power of self.
Therefore, at this moment, he could transform into a dragon, with both form and spirit intact, an unmatched True Dragon!
“Roar!!!”
Above the sky, the True Dragon roared and hovered, locking onto the black-robed ancient Buddha from high above.
“This is not good!!!”
The pupils of the three monks named Daoxin shrank, sensing the terrifying force of this move. They did not dare to speak more and immediately came to help.
The three monks came to assist, arriving behind Master Jiaxing, pouring all their Yuan Skill into supporting the might of Kuchan. The black-robed ancient Buddha’s body became even more solid, as though the True Body of Buddha had descended.
And in that moment…
“Roar!!!”
In the sky, the True Dragon roared unrestrainedly, furiously colliding downward, penetrating the body of the ancient Buddha. Every bit of True Power, without the slightest leak.
Extremely terrifying control of power!
Ultimately…
“Boom!!!”
A loud explosion, the Buddha Realm shattered, the vision dissipated.
In the midst of the battlefield, Xu Yang stood with his back turned, slowly clenching his fingers.
Behind Xu Yang, the three monks supported Master Jiaxing’s body, forming a triangle of stable posture.
But the result…
“Xu! Qing! Yang!!!”
“Ahh!!!”
Master Jiaxing’s eyes bulged with rage. He struggled to utter three words before his body trembled and exploded into pieces.
“Boom!!!”
The black robes burst, blood sprayed fiercely, and Master Jiaxing, who bore the brunt of the defense, exploded on the spot, body and bones obliterated!
“Bang!!!”
With Master Jiaxing’s explosive demise, the three monks also suffered the impact. Each one of them was blasted out, spewing blood, landing over ten meters away. Beneath the tattered Buddhist robes were their flesh and bones shaking uncontrollably, twitching before they all fell unconscious to the ground.
The victor had been decided!
Xu Yang stood with his back turned, not looking at the outcome, simply slowly closing his hand into a fist, dissipating the raging power within him.
He had won, unsurprisingly!
Why?
Because he was stronger!
The four monks together demonstrated an overwhelming power of Buddhist Law. Within the entire Martial World, whether it was the three Grandmasters or Lingnan Heaven Blade, under the suppression of this great power, all would be cast down and slaughtered.
But Xu Yang was an exception.
Because he was an anomaly, the greatest anomaly in this world!
Martial Path Communicates with God, Unity of Heaven and Man, his two extraordinary Skill Traits merged with his own abilities. The result was not simply additive— not one plus one equals two, but equaled three, four, even five or six—a multiple increase in power.
The great power of Buddhist Law constructed by the four monks could not suppress Xu Yang’s own potent combination of Martial Path Communicates with God and Unity of Heaven and Man. The two forces were closely matched, with neither outstripping the other, making it difficult to discern superiority.
Since both parties were evenly matched in “power,” determining who was superior would come down to comparing the depth of their cultivation and the sophistication of their martial arts.
In this regard, Xu Yang was naturally the victor.
The Fighting Scroll of the Martial Arts Scripture was unparalleled, not only integrating the essence of Great Zhou’s martial arts but also incorporating top-notch martial techniques of this world like Ice Mysterious Power, Flame Sun Skill, Longevity Jue, Yi Sword Technique, and Heavenly Blade Eight Styles. Over the years, he had amassed them all, fully understanding and integrating them into the Martial Arts Scripture system.
Master Jiaxing and the four monks, although great Buddhist figures, seasoned in cultivation, how could they compare with Xu Yang, who possessed the Martial Arts Scripture and many Skill Traits?
Hence, their defeat was not unjust, not in the slightest!
But…
While Xu Yang was victorious, he too paid a price.
The technique of Descending Dragon, specifically the move Ascendant Dragon, was incredibly extreme, carrying a terrifying toll on the body.
Common Grandmasters, if using such a technique against an enemy, might indeed defeat their foe but would end up with their bodies collapsing, resulting in mutual destruction.
It was only Xu Yang, with the world’s exceptional teachings integrated into the Martial Arts Scripture, his Body Training Skill reaching incredible heights, and numerous Skill Traits enhancing his physique, who had cultivated an unparalleled body, allowing him to survive without his body exploding after displaying this move.
Even so, he was severely injured, his Qi Blood churning within, organs shaking incessantly. Moreover, a surge of disordered Qi Blood rose, causing fresh blood to spill from the corner of his mouth. Though not conspicuous, it was particularly striking.
Such signs made it clear to anyone that he was wounded.
In response to this outcome…
On both banks of the river and the surrounding areas, there was a deathly silence.
The crowd was completely dumbfounded, eyes wide with amazement, still not recovered from the shock just witnessed.
No wonder, for such a sight, could it be the deed of a mere mortal? When did this world gain so many gods and immortals?
