At this moment, the sky disappeared.
LĂŒ Yang looked up at the sky, but he only saw the turbid clouds dispersing, with the sun, moon, and stars all dimming, leaving only an endless heavenly river stretching across the sky.
Starlight? Milky Way?
LĂŒ Yang could not tell the difference.
He only saw that endless heavenly river slowly flowing past, touching the sky above, merging with the sea and sky as one, bowing over mountains and lowering the peaks beneath its flow.
The first to bear the brunt was the Dao Sin of the Innate True Person.
He did not even have time to react.
He only looked up at the sky, where the reflection of that endless heavenly river appeared in his eyes.
Then, the water of the heavenly river flowed out from his eyes, dissolving his flesh, muscles, and bones, melting his entire body inch by inch.
Without saying a word, LĂŒ Yang stepped forward and grabbed hold.
Yet even so, that Dao Sin of the Innate remained motionless, standing there in a daze, his lips parting to let out a deep sigh:
"ăWater Beneath the Streamă."
With that said, the Dao Sin of the Innate fell into deathly silence.
Even the ăImperial Mansion Golden Seal of Doushuai True Decreeă lost its light, falling to the ground like an ordinary object.
LĂŒ Yang naturally accepted all of it with a smile.
Immediately after, he looked around again, only to see that Ying Tongshou and Ye Xingfeng were still kneeling on the ground, completely motionless like the Dao Sin of the Innate.
Then a breeze blew, and their bones and flesh disintegrated.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
Two Foundation Establishment mid-stage True Persons, one of whom had even refined his Sword Heart and Sword Intent into a peerless sword cultivator, were scattered into nothingness by a light breeze!
Next came a loud clang as Ying Tongshouâs storage pouch and Ye Xingfengâs painstakingly refined life-bound flying sword both fell to the ground.
Seeing this, LĂŒ Yang did not hesitate and immediately collected all of it.
Just then, from the edge of the four seas above the sky, another loud sound rang out, prompting him to look up.
He saw countless starlike flames falling from the sky.
LĂŒ Yang opened his Dharma Eye, pushing the Heavenly Observatory at his brow to its limit.
The light of Bing Fire illuminated the world, allowing him to barely discern the sight of heaven and earth.
The sea surface was rising.
No, to be exact, a portion of the sea was rising, but how large it was, LĂŒ Yang could not tell.
He only saw a clear misalignment appear on the distant sea horizon.
"A part of the sea is flying up?"
LĂŒ Yang looked up and gazed far into the distance, piercing through thirty-six layers of Astral Clouds and layers of mist, barely making out a face obscured by fog.
"True Lord⊠Dharma Form!"
LĂŒ Yang had seen it once during the Battle for the Dao, but back then he had not yet established his foundation, only watching from afar without the clarity he had now.
Then he saw that vast face slightly lower.
It looked at him.
No, it did not just look at him, but actually winked at him, revealing an expression of extreme joy.
However, as the one being winked at, LĂŒ Yang only felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, unable to bear it.
He almost lost his soul on the spot, with blood tears streaming from his eyes.
He quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at that face in the sky again.
Yet with that fleeting glance, he already understood what had happened.
At this moment, nearly half of the outer sea had fallen into the palm of ăClear Snow True Lordă, held up as if she was lifting water with her hands!
Inland, near the direction of Jiangxi.
Hong Yun sped like lightning, supported by the ăTreasure Radiance Blessed Landă, covering tens of thousands of miles in a single step, keeping pace with a hazy feminine figure.
"Amitabha."
The hazy figure revealed her appearance, with clear Buddhist light.
It was none other than ăAvalokiteshvara of the Water Moon in the Treasure Vaseă, possessing the body of Guang Ming, showing a rare angry expression:
"âŠStop following me!"
Hong Yun Daoist did not dare to hesitate and immediately said:
"Bodhisattva, I am willing to join the Pure Land! I am also willing to merge my ăTreasure Radiance Blessed Landă into the Pure Land!"
With his insight, Hong Yun Daoist could naturally see that the incarnation of ăAvalokiteshvara of the Water Moon in the Treasure Vaseă was fundamentally different from the other two True Lordsâ incarnations.
The other two had come on a whim, but ăAvalokiteshvara of the Water Moonă had long premeditated this, investing the most power.
Thus, if he wanted to survive, he had to rely on her.
Hong Yun Daoist, even as a reincarnated Golden Core, though he had lost his position, still possessed his golden essence, making him of great use to the Pure Land.
In the past, he might have hesitated.
But now, with ăClear Snow True Lordă right before him, if he did not make a decision, death would be certain.
Survival was always better than death.
"You wish to enter my Pure Land?"
For a moment, ăAvalokiteshvara of the Water Moonă truly wavered.
However, before she could respond, she felt a breeze blow past.
The breeze carried a trace of moisture, instantly transforming into icy coldness, as if a handful of mountain spring water had splashed onto her face.
She immediately felt her vision blur, as though she were in a dream, unable to distinguish up from down.
Faintly, she heard the sound of water dripping, and then she suddenly scattered into light.
"Boom!"
A brilliant light descended from the sky, like a great flood bursting through a dam, instantly shattering that incarnation into countless golden rays without the slightest resistance!
Jiangxi, within the Deep Joy Pure Land.
The ăAvalokiteshvara of the Water Moonă, who had already stopped preaching, suddenly opened her eyes, her elegant brows furrowed tightly, finally losing her former composure.
"Crazy hag! Why did she target me first? I hadnât even agreed yet!"
For a moment, ăAvalokiteshvara of the Water Moonă lost all serenity, revealing all the vulgarity of the mundane world, cursing like a street shrew.
After a long while, she suddenly snapped back to her senses.
"This is bad⊠my incarnation has been destroyed, and itâs affecting my true self!"
The next second, she hurriedly gathered her Buddhist light, swiftly cutting off all distracting thoughts, silently reciting Buddhist scriptures, no longer daring to pay attention to the matters outside.
Meanwhile, back in the outer sea.
As the incarnation of ăAvalokiteshvara of the Water Moonă shattered into light, Hong Yun Daoist stood there helplessly, letting out a long sigh.
In the next moment, the ăTreasure Radiance Blessed Landă behind him visibly dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Cracks spread all over his body like a dense web, no matter how he channeled his power or performed his techniques, he could not mend it, and could only watch helplessly.
"Mid-stage⊠what suffering!"
Before his words fell, Hong Yun Daoist exploded on the spot.
His crumbling flesh transformed into streaks of firelight, each like a falling meteor plunging toward the sea.
Almost at the same time, two other streaks of firelight exploded in the sky.
The incarnation of the Dao Court's Son of Heaven, and the incarnation of the Sword Pavilion's True Lord.
In that instant, LĂŒ Yang below saw countless star-like flames falling from the sky.
Yet before they could reach the sea, they were all extinguished by the endless heavenly river.
Only now did LĂŒ Yang realize how unnecessary his previous worries had been.
Could ăClear Snow True Lordă not handle this little trouble?
She had even killed them all!
Ye Xingfeng, Blood Demon True Person, Ying Tongshou, Dao Sin of the Innate, Hong Yun Daoist, the incarnations of the True LordsâăClear Snow True Lordă had slain them all indiscriminately!
At this moment, LĂŒ Yang suddenly looked up, seeing that endless heavenly river slowly flowing.
Amid the waves of the heavenly river, a voice carried from south to north, from west to east, spreading into the Dao Court, the Pure Land, and even the Sword Pavilion.
It was not words, but an extremely excited burst of laughter:
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The laughter was fervent.
Below Foundation Establishment level, cultivators without enough status could not control themselves, and were forced to laugh along.
Almost at the same time, energies surged in all directions.
Seeing this, the laughter suddenly stopped, as if the warmth of summer had turned into the chill of winter, leaving only a cold and clear question:
"Who wishes to fight me?"
