Chapter 4503
The crowd was stunned as they witnessed a monk materialize before their eyes.
Only the Tenth Highness remained indifferent, his calm gaze laced with hints of mockery.
“Namu Amitabha Buddha…” The shadowy monk murmured softly, and beams of mysterious Buddha light began to materialize, surging straight toward the Tenth Highness.
With a casual wave of his hand, the Tenth Highness unleashed a terrifying aura that swept forth like crashing waves, obliterating the incoming Buddha light.
The shadow monk stepped forward, and as he did, a beam of Buddha light erupted beneath his feet like a massive pillar.
The Tenth Highness sneered coldly and stomped the ground with ferocity. The pillar of Buddha light shattered instantly, vanishing into nothingness.
Undeterred, the monk continued forward, and with each step, a white lotus flower appeared beneath his feet. By his ninth step, nine glowing white lotuses had bloomed in his wake.
The nine lotuses merged, forming a colossal lotus cage that descended upon the Tenth Highness. From within the cage, an endless cascade of Buddha light burst forth.
For the first time, the Tenth Highness raised his head, a flicker of seriousness crossing his otherwise calm face. Without moving, he extended his palms, and twin streams of white energy erupted forth, colliding directly with the lotus cage.
A deafening explosion shattered the silence, a sound so intense that the crowd’s ears rang.
The lotus cage disintegrated into countless fragments, which rained down across the Imperial City. Entire buildings collapsed under the onslaught, and countless citizens of the Xiao Dynasty perished.
Human lives were reduced to mere ants in the face of such devastation.
Even cultivators of the Mahayana realm barely withstood the aftershocks, while those in the Transitional realm were obliterated outright.
Master Limitless observed the Tenth Highness with a grave expression. Despite summoning a fragment of the Dharma Ancestor’s divine soul through the Buddha Seal, it had proved ineffective.
This was his final card to play. Without Xiao Jian’s bloodline, Master Limitless wouldn’t have been able to summon the divine soul at all.
It was known that Buddhism possessed numerous Buddha Seals, but only ten within the Thunder Sound Temple contained a fragment of the Dharma Ancestor’s divine soul. These seals could only be activated by someone carrying a Buddha bloodline.
Even so, the Dharma Ancestor’s divine soul was powerless against the Tenth Highness.
“This Dharma fool split his soul into millions of fragments, sealing them into Buddha Seals, thinking he could make his descendants invincible,” sneered the Red Cloud Demon Monarch. “And yet, even a wisp of that soul couldn’t best a child. How embarrassing.”
“Senior, is that shadow really the Dharma Ancestor?” Kai asked, shocked.
“Ancestor? At this point, he’s been reduced to a joke,” Red Cloud Demon Monarch replied scornfully.
Kai was speechless. It seemed no one could stop the terrifyingly powerful Tenth Highness before them. He hadn’t anticipated such overwhelming strength within the Demon Sealing Alliance.
“You old bald donkey,” the Tenth Highness mocked. “It’s impressive that a mere wisp of divine soul made me pay attention, but if you think that’s enough to defeat me, you’re dreaming.”
He spat out the lollipop from his mouth, and a massive long knife appeared in his hand.
The blade was taller than the Tenth Highness himself, impossibly wide and thick, with several clattering blade rings hanging from its length.
Clang! The knife scraped against itself, sending out an ominous sound, and a visible blade aura ripped through the void.
The monk’s shadow brought its hands together in prayer, golden light emanating from its form as it braced for the blade’s strike.
When the blade aura landed, a thunderous boom shook the heavens, and the shadow trembled violently under the impact.
