Chapter 779: Chapter 155: Only I, Supreme!

On the Buddha Hall, an unusual ice and snow phenomenon manifested. The air seemed to freeze, scattering frost flowers.

Bian Ruxue slowly opened her eyes. Her clear and bright eyes were as indifferent as a snow-capped mountain, devoid of any color or emotion.

She had just experienced sudden insight. She severed ties with affection, cut off her past, and also severed the childhood shadow that lingered in her heart.

Even though she had once said that she wanted to pursue her own Sword Dao and was still willing to marry him as long as he was willing, raising children and such time-consuming and energy-draining matters, she needed to wait until her Sword Dao reached Great Accomplishment to do those things for him.

Facing the shadow that had accompanied her since childhood, although she chose Sword Dao, she always felt a sense of remorse in her heart.

Now, those buried feelings of remorse and longing deep in her heart were also cut off.

...

She knew that if she did not sever these ties, she would be unable to reach the summit.

He had said that when she climbed to the peak, to witness that true pinnacle of Sword Dao, she could then tell him how dazzling it was.

She also had this thought, but now, she had severed even that intention.

To freeze the Dao Heart and then to break through the Dao Heart, only then could she achieve the Forget Love Sword Path that she suddenly realized.

Indeed, her Sword Dao had changed, evolving from the original Ice and Snow Sword Intent.

The ultimate state of ice and snow was to freeze and shatter. Everything had emotion, except for ice and snow, which were emotionless, burying everything, suppressing spring, causing all things under heaven to tremble.

Her Sword Dao was the same.

At this moment, her eyes were calm and indifferent. Recalling the Haoyue Saint Son’s Sun and Moon Sword Dao, she also felt a sense of “That’s all there is to it.”

Though the sun and moon could reflect all things, everything could sever emotional ties and shatter them!

She even felt that her master, the Sword Saint’s Sword Dao, was not perfect. Though the Sword Dao of all beings was terrifying, all beings had something in common—emotion.

Even birds and beasts had emotions. Where there was emotion, there was a crack, and that crack was the trajectory of her sword, the place where the light shone, and the extension of her sword!

“Huh?”

The Sword Saint noticed Bian Ruxue’s awakening but also keenly sensed something in his disciple’s sudden insight, a change beyond his understanding.

However, sudden insight was hard to explain. Some achieve greatness later in life, spend half their life in mediocrity, yet suddenly achieve insight, touch the Saint’s Will, and undergo earth-shattering changes.

“Thank you, Master, for your protection.”

Bian Ruxue looked around, seeing herself hovering above the Buddha Hall. She recalled being defeated and returning to the stage below, having her insight down there. Presumably, her master protected her to avoid interference from others.

She nodded slightly. Though her words expressed gratitude, her eyes remained calm.

Though she now cultivated the Forget Love Sword Path, she still acknowledged this emotion. How and when to repay it, she left it to her own heart’s discretion.

The Sword Saint shook his head slightly, glanced at her, and said nothing more.

The Literary Saint glanced at the girl, realizing her recent insight had elevated her strength to the pinnacle of Heavenly Pride. Unfortunately, her insight came too late, destined to miss the current Supreme Genius Battle.

He withdrew his gaze, glanced at Buddha Venerate. After congratulating the Sword Saint, Buddha Venerate merely looked indifferently at the scene, as if he were an unmoved Buddha.

This implicitly allowed that Semi-Saint of Buddhism to take action against that young man, suppressing him.

The Literary Saint felt regret in his heart. Such a Heavenly Pride, though flaunting his edge, it was normal. *Young people were full of spirit; how could they be called young if they weren’t spirited?*

Not to mention that he suffered injustice and was slandered as Demonic Path. Having such anger was in line with one’s true nature. If one feared a Saint’s authority and acted timidly, it would be hard to become significant. The Dao Heart would be tainted.

At this moment, on the battle stage, Jueming revealed the Buddha Light all over his body, brilliant and transparent.

He projected the Golden Body Dharma Image, solemn as a righteous Arhat, gazing down at Li Hao.

With a wave of his hand, the array solidified, and the stage was sealed.

Seeing this scene, everyone below the stage was alarmed, realizing that this Buddhist Semi-Saint was serious, truly intending to personally take action, to teach this Haotian a lesson.

“What are you doing?!”

“Stop it!”

“A dignified Buddhist Semi-Saint—do you mean to bully the young with the old? Shameless!”

“He is your Canglan Realm’s number one Heavenly Pride, having just won this supreme title. Now you want to suppress him, affecting his incense fire. Don’t you feel ashamed?!”

Below the stage, Zhan Tan, Ye Ancestor, and others were shocked and furious, shouting loudly in anger.

They didn’t expect the opponent to truly act against Li Hao, and for Buddha Venerate not to intervene. In any other small world, securing the first place in this title battle—what a monster, what excellence—it would represent the entire small world in battles against All Heavens, carrying a great mission, great honor!

But the result, having just defeated his opponent and secured first place, he was now subjected to suppression by his own world’s Holy Land. It was infuriating.

As they spoke righteously, they also exhibited their own embryonic power of the Saint Path, emanating the aura and majesty of a Semi-Saint, standing out like shining stars among millions of spectators—extremely eye-catching.

Seeing four or five Semi-Saints speak up for Li Hao, everyone was shocked and turned their gaze.

“So many Semi-Saints!”

“Are all these Semi-Saints speaking on behalf of that Haotian?”

“Haotian’s connections are quite deep, having so many Semi-Saints plead for him.”

“Is it possible that these Semi-Saints don’t know Haotian and are just speaking up righteously? I also feel that the Buddhist Semi-Saint’s actions against him were excessive—it is bullying the young with the old!”

“That’s right, and that Buddha Child didn’t even admit defeat, so being beaten is normal.”

“What’s with your mindset, defending that demon? No matter how strong he is, if he can defeat the Buddha Child, just defeat him. Why humiliate him? Poor Buddha Child has struggled in cultivation since birth, suppressing Heart Demons, facing lifelong calamities, and yet suffering such humiliation!”
