Chapter 2798 - 72: Lost Paths, Zhi Wen (3)

The black lotus hanging high in the sky exudes an expansive sense of tranquility, soothing the agitation of all who behold it. Its petals, like carved crystal, interlock, resembling a black jade bowl cradling the moon—

The Land of Shenxiao had never before seen sun and moon.

Yet now, it does.

Black Buddha Light cascades down like a waterfall, ensuring that wind and rain cannot penetrate, protecting the devout believers of the world.

At this moment, Shujia Lan also bursts forth with all his might, attempting to escape the crisis of annihilation.

But since Yang Yu, ranked fifth on the Heavenly List of new kings, has made his move and rung the Knowledge and Hearing Bell, how can he let Shujia Lan escape so easily?

Left hand forms the Treasure Vase Mudra, right hand the Lion Seal.

With benevolent eyes and a kind face, he opens his mouth: "Dang!"

Like a mischievous child, a naive infant, mimicking the sound of a bell ringing.

The connection in the void has already been perceived.

His Buddhist awareness and Buddhist thoughts have already manifested the phantom of the Knowledge and Hearing Bell, descending upon the Land of Shenxiao, pressing down upon the Divine Mountain overhead... with just one press, the crystalline black lotus is crushed!

Shards of the lotus fly like jade, scattered invisibly across the ground.

Shujia Lan sprays blood madly, then falls with his head held high.

And Yang Yu, sensing the power of the Knowledge and Hearing Bell, desires even more.

Once the bell rings, all demons present must respond.

All means receive sound and perception.

While dealing with the aftershocks of the bell’s sound, they must also be understood by the Knowledge and Hearing Bell.

Yang Yu’s true intent is to seize all competitors’ information while suppressing Shujia Lan, to discern each one’s weaknesses and strengths... thus claiming "Only I am supreme under the heavens and on earth!"

He indeed grasps too much at this moment.

Zhu Lanruo indeed possesses exceptional strength, with a prowess in the Sound Murder Technique. Lu Qilang is extraordinary, his Sword Intent is unstoppable. Yuan Mengji is supported by Heavenly Monster Ways, but doesn’t have many uses, not worth mentioning. Xiong Sansi appears to have Copper Skin Iron Bone, a stone heart, steel courage, unknown what hardships he’s endured, yet he’s extremely difficult to shake.

That Peaceful Ghost Messenger and Chai Asi, although appearing profound, are actually relying on external forces.

Especially the Peaceful Ghost Messenger, whose random slashes were not the key to countering the Buddhist sound. The key lies within another force in his body, which took over his hearing, allowing sound to reverberate invisibly.

No, there seems to be some hidden connection between Peaceful Ghost Messenger and Chai Asi...

Just as Yang Yu leverages the power of the Knowledge and Hearing Bell, becoming aware of something.

Suddenly, a change arises.

The Shujia Lan, who should have been subdued, suddenly opens his eyes wide.

His formerly merciful eyes now turn fierce.

The blood sprayed from his mouth surprisingly forms a blood lotus.

Vajra with angry eyes, subdues the outsider path.

The Blood Lotus descends upon the world, annihilating all beings!

This technique shows no external appearance, seemingly causing no impact on the Knowledge and Hearing Bell.

But blood patterns begin to crawl across the face of Mage Yang Yu with a gentle, compassionate face.

The blood patterns twist like spiritual insects, giving Yang Yu’s face a mysterious gleam.

He is descending into corruption!

The Treasure Bell does not move, nor do the monastics?

The Golden Body does not move, nor do the clay statues?

The Black Lotus Temple is not recognized by the Ancient Imperial City, but Shujia Lan is undeniably a powerful new king on the Heavenly List. In a true battle of life and death, he may not necessarily lose to Yang Yu.

At this moment, betting with life and death, using blood karma as a pattern, he intends to drag Yang Yu along to break free from the Knowledge and Hearing Bell’s influence, plunging eternally into the Long Night.

But Yang Yu merely stands there without moving an inch.

With palms folded, he gently utters: "Namo Light King Tathagata!"

In the void, indistinctly, the sound of the bell rings.

Within the Buddhist sound wrapped by the Knowledge and Hearing Bell, another voice resounds.

Not within this space, yet within this space.

It is the voice of Great Bodhisattva Chan Fayuan expressed in Mo Yun City, traversing the dimensions of time into space, falling upon this place, saying—

"Buddha says, thus comes destiny!"

Suddenly, Gale Killing Sword Chai Asi, who stands amused at the spectacle, radiates brilliance tens of thousands fold!
