Chapter 1049: Grandeur (1)
The cuckoo's bloody cry is sad and beautiful, but it is useless as a bird.
Just as Monk Sanzang was wailing in grief and anger, Lu Yi appeared beside him, silently, invisible and without a trace. Monk Sanzang was not even able to notice how Lu Yi appeared beside him.
Almost at the same time when Lu Yi appeared beside Monk Sanzang, the Tianlong Zen Staff in his hand had already rolled up a gust of wind and smashed down on Monk Sanzang. Just like the previous swing, the distance between the Zen Staff and Monk Sanzang was compressed to the extreme, and the speed of swinging this staff was extremely fast, so... the "wasting time" of the Zen Staff falling on Monk Sanzang was almost negligible.
There was a faint mystery of time flowing through Monk Sanzang.
Time... Time... Yes, it was time... Monk Sanzang had comprehended the avenue of time, or he had some extremely powerful secret treasure with the attribute of time. Only time could allow Monk Sanzang to survive under the combined power of the two avenues of space and speed!
The speed at which the Zen staff fell did not change, and the spatial distance between the Zen staff and Monk Sanzang did not change, but the time consumed was miraculously extended... Of course, Monk Sanzang failed to condense the Dao Fruit of Time. The time Dao rhyme he mastered could only delay a very limited time in the face of two condensed Dao Fruits.
Probably, it's just one ten-thousandth of a second.
For a being like Monk Sanzang, such a short period of time is enough for him to react and do many things!
"Chong, choke, choke." Three fire dragon wheels spewing blazing flames spun rapidly, and flew out of Monk Sanzang's sleeves as fast as lightning, leaving three dark tracks that rushed straight to Lu Yi's head, throat, and heart. The temperature of these three fire dragon wheels was so high that the void was almost melted by the burning. As the three wheels flew, they left three extremely clear black tracks in the air.
Bai Zun was silent and took advantage of the opportunity when Lu Yi attacked the monk Sanzang to rush over like a ghost, opened his arms, and hugged Lu Yi from behind. In Bai Zun's body, in the blood-colored wedding dress, countless distorted faces could be seen looming, and countless beautiful women's faces were laughing and silently issuing the most vicious curses to Lu Yi.
If he were to be caught in the arms of Bai Zun in his current form, who knows what would happen?
Lu Yu's body did not move at all. The three Fire Dragon Wheels disappeared suddenly before they could get close to him. The next moment, they appeared directly from behind him... The blazing Fire Dragon Wheels appeared almost directly in front of Bai Zun, and with a "puff", they hit Bai Zun's face squarely.
Bai Zun's gorgeous face was split into three deep cracks. The three Fire Dragon Wheels, the most precious Buddhist treasures for subduing demons, spewed out flames and splashed Buddhist light, like three basins of blazing molten iron poured into a snow hole, burning Bai Zun's head so that the blood rose and endless resentment rushed up thousands of feet high. Bai Zun was in so much pain that he couldn't help but let out a shrill wail.
The Tianlong Zen Staff continued to swing down.
In front of the Zen staff, circles of turbid time ripples appeared. Monk Sanzang tried his best to drive the rhythm of time, greatly extending the flow of time around him - he was like a hardworking, pitiful female spider, madly spewing spider silk and weaving a spider web, trying to trap a Tyrannosaurus that had madly broken into the big web!
The spider web was torn into pieces one by one, and the internal organs of the female spider who was spinning silk were about to be pulled out!
Finally, Monk Sanzang spat out another mouthful of blood. A brilliant light surged from his sleeves, and a white bone Buddha palm flew out. Accompanied by a loud thunder, a golden lotus Buddha seal spurted out from the palm of the white bone Buddha palm, and the extremely heavy palm hit the Tianlong Zen staff squarely.
With Lu Yi's current strength, he was actually shaken by the White Bone Buddha's Palm and became unsteady on his feet. He staggered, spun, and retreated hundreds of steps in a very embarrassed manner.
The white bone Buddha's palm let out a mournful cry, and began to crack slightly from the fingertips to the wrist. Finally, with a sharp cracking sound, the entire Buddha's palm exploded into a ball of glazed Buddha light, from which a dark golden bone dragon spewed out, and with an earth-shattering dragon roar, it drilled into the heart of Monk Sanzang.
Monk Sanzang's entire body was gushing with dark golden Buddha light, and his energy and blood were surging like a volcanic eruption, rapidly surging at a speed visible to the naked eye... His energy and blood were expanding so violently that the void around him was flushed with circles of tiny folds.
Lu Yi looked in horror at Monk Sanzang, whose face was twisted and full of misery and despair.
This seemed to be some kind of strange enlightenment. The palm of the white bone Buddha contained a part of the cultivation of a great Buddhist master. Monk Sanzang did not use it, but kept it close to his body. Until today, after being smashed by Lu Yi's stick, the remaining spirituality in the palm of the Buddha made the final decision and poured all the cultivation into Monk Sanzang, greatly improving his golden body strength!
"But, using the Buddhist magical powers to do sneaky things... Monk Sanzang, are you worthy of the Buddhist predecessors who left this Buddha Palm?" Lu Yi widened his eyes, glared at Monk Sanzang , and quickly put himself on the moral high ground.
Behind her, Bai Zun, who was scorched by three fire dragon treasure wheels, panted and ripped off the three treasure wheels embedded in her cheeks while cursing. The flames of the treasure wheels spewed out, burning her palms with a squeak. She held the treasure wheels in her hands without caring at all. The three deep wounds on her face healed completely in just a breath, leaving no trace.
"Who is sneaking around? Am I sneaking around?" Bai Zun raised his head proudly and kept throwing seductive glances at Lu Yi: "How am I sneaky? Little monk? Hee!"
Wisps of red smoke emanated from Bai Zun's body, like countless graceful arms of a lover, slowly, slowly, extremely gentle, extremely lingering, yet carrying a chilling murderous intent, like a lover's poisonous sword piercing the heart, gradually covering Lu Yi's entire body.
These seemingly soft and slow clouds of smoke had no attributes of time and space, nor the concept of speed, but as soon as they appeared, they came directly to Lu Yi, stuck to his skin, and invaded his body along the pores all over his body, penetrating his internal organs, corroding his flesh and blood, and assimilating his brain, and even his mind and soul.
Lu Yi was shocked.
This smoke and cloud is so strange.
There was no speed, no space, no time. They gushed out from Bai Zun's body and came directly to him, into his body, and even directly invaded his mind. It was as if these things had always existed in his body!
This is "evil", or in other words, this is "sin", the most bizarre power between heaven and earth, the "result" of all causes, and the "source" of all sins. Lu Yu was not enlightened, he was not a true Buddha, he did not achieve true purity of the six senses, he did not achieve true severance of cause and effect, and severance of all entanglements with sins.
Bai Zun's power is to use these imperfections, these sinful causes, and these evils with sources in Lu Yi's body, and treat them as the smallest seeds of cause and effect and directly detonate them.
Therefore, the power was generated from within the body, and the destructive force directly attacked the deepest part of Lu Yi's body and soul!
"Well, the path of cause and effect? That's right, only this path can..." Lu Yi snorted, and to give face to Bai Zun, a little bit of bloody smell came out.
In his mind, hundreds of secret Buddhist treasures from the holy land of Nalanda, which were seized by Taiyatian and the major clans under Taiyatian in the battle of the destruction of the holy land, and were put on the shelf because they were of no use. The secret treasures of Buddhism that had been hidden in the secret vault for countless years were all alarmed!
That feeling...
So miserable!
It felt like a group of reckless men who had been locked up in a sky prison for countless years, doing nothing every day except staring at the wall with their heads down, occasionally exercising to make their arms as thick as ordinary people's waists, and loving to kill and burn people. Suddenly, a pretty girl with a sweet smile jumped happily and rushed into the cage where they were imprisoned!
'Alas'!
Attack in groups!
Lu Yu's mind was suddenly dyed with countless Buddha lights of various colors, and it was all kinds of strange and bizarre. Fei Tian Bai Zun was really an anomaly in the world, not a human, not a ghost, not a demon, not a devil, not anything... Ordinary magical skills really had no killing power against her.
The only thing is that her roots come from the secret Buddhist methods that the monk Sanzang realized.
Although a little bit evil, her roots come from Buddhism, which is an irrefutable fact... Unless she can become more powerful than she is now, or to put it more outrageously, unless Bai Zun can "rebel against Monk Sanzang" and transcend his control and manipulation, she can wash away the tiny bit of Buddhist aura in her roots!
Otherwise, this would be her only weakness that could not be erased.
She took the initiative to attack Lu Yi, crashing into his body and mind, and then was attacked by hundreds of Buddhist treasures!
A muffled groan.
Bai Zun, whose three facial cuts had just healed, felt as if he had been hit hard by thousands of heavy hammers in an instant. From his fingers to his shoulders, from his toes to his thighs, from his forehead to his coccyx, there was a constant sound of bones breaking inside his body, and his body was uneven everywhere, twisted and collapsed to the extreme.
With a scream, thick blood smoke gushed out of Bai Zun's body. She looked at Lucina in horror, shook her body, and turned away.
But although she walked fast, she suddenly found that she had run with all her might and actually ran directly in front of Lu Yi - she dared to swear on the life of her own 'creator', Monk Sanzang, that she was indeed running away from Lu Yi just now, so why did she run in front of Lu Yi when she turned around?
Lu Yi swung the Tianlong Zen Staff and hit Bai Zun with one strike.
Bai Zun howled miserably and was blasted away, dragging a long cloud of blood. Then, he flew directly in front of Lu Yi, just at the angle where Lu Yi could attack and exert force most conveniently. So, he struck him again.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yi blasted out thirty-six thousand sticks.
Each blow of the stick hit Bai Zun solidly. In theory, each blow could send Bai Zun flying tens of millions of miles away... But every time Bai Zun flew out at high speed, he miraculously reappeared in front of Lu Yi, and his body maintained the most perfect posture to be beaten, eagerly welcoming Lu Yi's next heavy blow!
The Avenue of Space is just so... rogue!
For Bai Zun who was beaten, this was helpless!
So helpless!
Helplessness almost to despair!
She used dozens of Buddhist escape techniques that Monk Sanzang was proficient in, and even some of the evil escape techniques, secret techniques, magical powers, and sorcery that he learned from demons and monsters in his previous life... She used all kinds of media to escape from Lu Yi's control. She even broke thousands of secret treasures that she had collected over the years, hoping to use the power of the treasures to escape from Lu Yi's control and escape from such an embarrassing yet deadly situation.
But no matter what means she used and how far she escaped, her escape methods, or other magical powers, were nothing more than "teleportation" and "flying", and they were nothing more than working on "space" and "speed"... Facing an emperor-level existence like Lu Yi who controlled space and speed, these little tricks were undoubtedly a waste of time.
On several occasions, Bai Zun did not hesitate to spit out blood, gritted her teeth and burned most of her "blood essence" in one breath, and escaped a long distance of hundreds of heavens. But before she had time to look up and see where she had escaped to, the space around her shook slightly, and she returned to Lu Yi's side, and her body was helplessly twisted into an extremely round posture, intimately welcoming the next heavy blow!
Thus, the heavy blows of 36,000 sticks, even though Bai Zun was not a normal life form, she was beaten completely out of shape... If it were someone else, even a great emperor-level existence like Tianshu Laojun would have been smashed to pieces after such a beating... Fortunately for Bai Zun, she still maintained an extremely strong vitality. She even had the strength to scream and curse, and even wailed for help from Monk Sanzang: "Master, Master, what should I do?"
Monk Sanzang was also howling loudly.
The blood in his body surged like a dragon, the corners of his eyes burst, and two lines of blood and tears rolled down.
He really looked at Lu Yi as if he had lost his parents. If his head wasn't completely bald, Lu Yi suspected that his hair would stand straight up and support a mountain!
"Why! Why!! Why!!!" Monk Sanzang roared, "You have destroyed the last hope that my great-grandmaster left for me!"
Lu Yi struck a fierce blow, sending the bloody Bai Zun flying far away.
Bai Zun flew quickly in the void with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. She was like a naughty photon, and there was an even more naughty child who randomly placed reflective mirrors in the void. The photon kept bouncing between the mirrors with a "bang bang bang" sound. The speed was extremely fast, but it could never get away from the area around Lu Yi!
This is even more embarrassing!
Bai Zun screamed in anger. She was so angry that she was almost hysterical. She couldn't find a way to deal with Lu Yi for a while, otherwise she would give up everything and die with Lu Yi!
Lu Yi ignored Bai Zun who was trapped in the space reflection maze, and smiled as he looked at Monk Sanzang who was extremely angry, with his blood surging like the sea. Giant dragons of blood and energy rushed up tens of thousands of miles high, causing a large arc-shaped ripple in the void above his head.
"Master, what you said is not right."
"As a Buddhist disciple, we value the purity of the six senses. What we value is... cough cough, the extinction of emotions and desires? Cough cough!" Lu Yi deliberately distorted the Buddhist principles and deliberately provoked and angered Monk Sanzang: "Master, you actually still have thoughts in your heart? It shows that your six senses are not pure... Since your six senses are not pure, you can keep a dead person's palm, a trace of spirituality left by a dead Buddha, close to your body for countless years... Hey, hey, will you do other more outrageous, more dirty and vulgar things?"
Monk Sanzang glared at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi smiled slowly and said, "For example, the bellyband of the widow Wang next door disappeared. Is it related to a certain Three Burial Master? The sixty-year-old unmarried girl in the neighbor's house suddenly became pregnant. Maybe it was also the Three Burial Master who personally blessed her? Or maybe..."
“That’s enough!”
The monk Sanzang shouted angrily: "Shut up!"
"You are also a Buddhist disciple, aren't you afraid of committing sins by speaking?"
Lu Yu looked at the furious monk Sanzang and shook his head gently: "I practice Buddhism, but I am definitely not a true Buddhist disciple... So, although I once had a Buddhist title when I was in Liangyi Heaven, I know that it is absolutely impossible for me to become a Buddha... I can't become a true, enlightened, liberated Buddha, a truly enlightened and thorough Buddha, so I don't have this extravagant hope!"
"But you, Master... hehe, how many innocent lives have you accumulated in your hands? You can use countless lives as sacrifices... You would actually get so angry and lose your composure for a white bone palm and a trace of remaining spirituality... It seems that the nature of you, a Buddhist disciple, is not very pure, right?" Lu Yi smiled and stabbed the scar on Monk Sanzang's heart!
Monk Sanzang looked at Lu Yi with gnashing teeth. He roared , and a large amount of Buddha light from his sleeves turned into golden clouds. A strange-shaped Zen staff with a giant dragon coiled around it and a ferocious tiger head on the top emerged from the golden clouds. He clenched the Zen staff with both hands and shook it fiercely. In the tiger's mouth of the staff, the four fist-sized golden rings hanging on the huge tiger fangs began to vibrate violently and collide with each other, making a deafening sound of "clang clang".
Monk Sanzang swung his dragon-wrapped tiger-head Zen staff, creating a strong light that slammed towards Lu Yi.
This stick was of inexplicable power, and the huge force it created made Lu Yi's face turn slightly pale. Having inherited a trace of the true meaning of Buddhism from the white bone palm and obtained a part of the cultivation of that great Buddhist master, Monk Sanzang's power at this moment was truly to the point that even Lu Yi, who had condensed half of the power fruit, was amazed!
"What a great power!" Lu Yi exclaimed, and then he struck out with his stick lightly.
Monk Sanzang used all his strength to strike forward with the Zen stick in his hand, but the distance between him and Lu Yi was getting farther and farther. No matter how hard he tried, the Zen stick could not touch Lu Yi at all.
The tip of the stick that Lu Yi swung out suddenly sank into the void.
A huge flesh ball suddenly bulged out from Monk Sanzang's chest... The Tianlong Zen Staff actually appeared directly inside his body, and gave him a violent blow from the inside out!
The sound of broken bones continued to ring out, and Sanzang Monk spat out a mouthful of blood. The Zen stick in his hand finally ran out of power, and trembled and stopped at a distance of at least 36 feet away from Lu Yi. He could no longer get even an inch closer!
