Chapter 113: Dominating Noobs in the Novice Village

The instant a Buddhist cultivator who had refined a Golden Body at the very front of the team crashed to the ground, Guang Ming at the very rear had already reacted.

“If I become a Buddha, and the celestial beings in my land do not all possess a true golden color, I shall not attain supreme enlightenment.”

This was the “True Golden Body Great Mantra,” one of the forty-eight Great Mantras in the Mahayana True Enlightenment Fundamental Sutra, and also the main Divine Ability mantra cultivated by Guang Ming.

As Guang Ming’s voice spread, golden light appeared on the bodies of all Buddhist cultivators wherever the sound passed, as if they all received the enhancement of the Golden Body. Subsequently, these Golden Bodies connected with one another, actually propping up a golden canopy that slowly spread out in all directions!

This was a protective Great Mantra.

Under the enhancement of the Great Mantra, even those who had not cultivated the Golden Body Method could obtain the power of the Golden Body for a short time. Moreover, the more people there were, the greater the power of the enhancement.

However, in the blink of an eye, a loud explosion was heard.

Boom.

Under Guang Ming’s dumbfounded gaze, the spiritual light of the Great Mantra he had just urged with all his strength lasted less than a second before being easily shattered by a streak of sword light.

In the blink of an eye, another Buddhist cultivator’s head was separated from his body.

“This is impossible… A Foundation Establishment Perfected One!?”

Guang Ming’s pupils shrank abruptly. His “True Golden Body Great Mantra” also possessed stature. Logically speaking, even a Great Divine Ability shouldn’t be able to break through it so easily.

And he could clearly see Lu Yang’s Blood Sun Sword Pellet. It could barely count as a Superior-grade Artifact, not even top-tier among Superior-grade Artifacts, let alone be mentioned in the same breath as a Spirit Treasure. With a sword pellet of such material, theoretically speaking, it was fundamentally impossible to slash through his protective Great Mantra.

Unless the opponent’s stature was far above his!

“So I also have such a day…”

As the sword light scattered, Lu Yang exhaled comfortably. After playing in the hard mode for so long, today he finally encountered a “noobs” in an easy mode.

Guang Ming’s guess was very precise.

Lu Yang basically didn’t use any Divine Ability or technique. After all, with his high stature approaching Foundation Establishment, even taking a piss could shoot through Guang Ming.

“It’s simply devoid of any challenge.”

“However… I just love zero challenge! What is cultivating painstakingly to a high realm for if not to crush noobs? dominating noobs in the novice village is my favorite!”

In the next second, a Vajra Pestle smashed down.

Seeing this, Lu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn’t dodge or evade, calmly watching the Vajra Pestle smash heavily onto his glabella, yet it didn’t even scrape a layer of his skin.

The difference in stature was greater than the sky. In a battle of techniques between cultivators, unequal stature was like someone standing at the foot of a mountain trying to attack someone standing at the peak; it was simply impossible. Therefore, even a Vajra Pestle strong enough to split mountains and crack rocks was equivalent to a gentle breeze brushing his face to Lu Yang.

It couldn’t even hinder his movements.

In an instant, Lu Yang transformed into sword light again, stirring up a wave of air that emptied the surroundings, and slashed down at another Buddhist cultivator, once again taking off a head.

However, just then, Guang Ming’s eyes lit up.

Immediately afterward, a jade bottle appeared in his hand. He threw it at Lu Yang, and the jade bottle exploded in the air, instantly blasting out balls of crimson flames that spread out.

Wherever the crimson flames passed, it was as if a bottomless abyss appeared, crazily devouring the surrounding spiritual qi. Several Buddhist cultivators standing close to Lu Yang were merely grazed by the firelight and didn’t even have time to scream before turning into puffs of green smoke within the explosive flames, leaving no corpses behind!

Guang Ming retreated rapidly after releasing the crimson fire, avoiding it like snakes and scorpions.

This was because this fire was named the “Six Directions Dust Cleansing Flame.” It used spiritual qi as fuel; as long as spiritual qi remained, it could not be extinguished, sticking to a cultivator’s body like maggots on a bone.

More importantly, its stature was high enough.

Because it was bestowed by his own master, Arhat Fu Long, taken from the Heavenly Spirit [Blazing Fire Dragon], a Foundation Establishment object. Dealing with Qi Refining was naturally a piece of cake!

“This person is still too arrogant…”

Guang Ming watched helplessly as the crimson fire filled the sky, swallowing Lu Yang’s figure. His originally tense emotions instantly relaxed, and he let out a long breath of turbid air.

“A pity. After being burned to ash, he cannot be guided into the [Fu Long Temple]…”

However, in the next second, he froze.

His eyes widened into perfect circles. Within that sky-filling crimson fire, Lu Yang stood leisurely, revealing only a pair of eyes that shone with red light under the illumination of the flames.

“…Not good!”

Before Guang Ming’s voice could fade—

Rumble!

The crimson fire expanded abruptly amidst the explosion, directly swallowing the surrounding group of Buddhist cultivators. And within the flames, a figure was harvesting to his heart’s content!

The so-called “Six Directions Dust Cleansing Flame” couldn’t be said to deal huge damage to Lu Yang; at the very least, it could be said to be utterly useless.

After all, Lu Yang had seen the real [Blazing Fire Dragon] in his previous life. How could a mere diversified flame possibly hurt him?

Lu Yang casually cast a Corpse Liberation Method, transformed his shape to escape, and easily broke free from all the fire qi. Immediately afterward, he transformed into sword light again, reversely detonating the “Six Directions Dust Cleansing Flame.” Then, borrowing the momentum of the fire, he began a frenzied slaughter. Head after head flew into the sky accompanied by bloody light.

Such a scene terrified the Buddhist cultivators present.

Guang Ming felt a chill in his heart. Are you kidding? This was definitely the direct descendant of a Saint Sect Perfected Lord. How could he possibly contend with such a Great Demon?

However, at this moment, he was incomparably calm.

Can’t run!

The opponent was clearly skilled in the sword escape technique. Running would only turn him into a target for the opponent. Besides, he knew his own escape technique was poor; if he really ran, he would definitely fall to the very rear.

Wouldn’t that be certain death?

Therefore, after a flash of thought, Guang Ming took action. He shouted loudly, “Everyone, do not panic! Watch me!”

His voice was full of vitality and confidence, as if everything was still under his control. Plus, Guang Ming was originally the leader of these people and had quite a bit of prestige, so he immediately became the backbone of the Buddhist cultivators present. The formation that was about to collapse restabilized.

But Guang Ming knew clearly that this was only temporary.

They listened to him because they hoped he could deal with the demon before them.

Once they discovered he was faking it and couldn’t deal with this Great Demon at all, they would eventually rout. It was impossible for them to truly listen to his orders and go to their deaths.

Whoosh—!

Sword light flashed, and another Buddhist cultivator’s head flew into the sky.

The remaining Buddhist cultivators huddled together, each desperately circulating their spiritual power to prop up protective Buddha light, while looking at Guang Ming eagerly with hope.

Didn’t you say watch you?

What are you still standing there for? Save us!

In the next second, Lu Yang appeared above everyone. He suddenly sneered, then closed his five fingers, instantly conjuring a dark cloud in his palm.

“Gathering together actually saves me the trouble of killing you one by one.”

As his voice fell, Lu Yang circulated his spiritual power and tossed the dark cloud in his hand into the air. In an instant, it shrouded all directions, plunging the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth into darkness.

Immediately afterward, a violent wind blew, and the rolling dark clouds surged, revealing thousands of Yin Baleful Qi’s grinding against each other. Finally, they transformed into bolts of thunder light like golden snakes, flickering and darting. Finally, as Lu Yang flipped his palm downward, they smashed down towards the bottom with the force of a thunderbolt!

Nine Heavens Seal Secret Demon Yin Thunder!

This Divine Ability had no technique whatsoever. It relied purely on Lu Yang’s higher stature and stronger spiritual power, using sheer numerical values to suppress people with force!

In the next second, thunder light fell from the dome of heaven like a flying waterfall.

How could the group of Buddhist cultivators below withstand such barbaric bombing? The Buddha Light Golden Bodies lasted for only a few breaths before shattering inch by inch under the countless thunder lights.

A full quarter of an hour later, Lu Yang finally withdrew his Divine Ability.

Looking down at his feet again, where were any Buddhist cultivators? All that could be seen was a scorched earth covered in deep pits, almost unrecognizable from its previous appearance.
