Sword Aura to the Heavens

Chapter 468: Chapter 463: Buddha Reborn?

Watching the collision of countless True Words Buddha Seals with sharp swords, seeing the Buddhist Undying Golden Body, many people felt sentimental, thinking this Buddha Son from the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple had cultivated an invincible body.

Unmatched in attack, impenetrable in defense, how could one fight?

Li Fan had yet to truly unleash his third sword, but given the situation, he might not have a choice.

Just as everyone was pondering, the second sword light flashed and arrived as swiftly as a galaxy, severing the void. But Kongchen’s eyes remained calm. Just when everyone thought he couldn’t dodge this sword, Kongchen’s body moved forward, transforming into an afterimage and disappearing.

The unavoidable sword slashed down, but landed upon an illusory Buddha shadow.

It turned out this sword could be dodged.

Kongchen accomplished it.

So, could he have dodged the first sword earlier too? Yet he chose to take it directly, fearing nothing with his Undying Golden Body.

"Master Li, please continue to unleash your sword." A Buddha’s voice echoed, and Buddha shadows seemed to appear in his mind; amidst the surrounding Buddha’s voice, Li Fan saw Kongchen’s body appearing in front of him.

Li Fan had once gained insight into an unrivaled movement technique, with his sword reaching the extreme speed, and so did his movement technique. But upon seeing Kongchen’s movement technique, he still felt overwhelmed; the Buddhist Law of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple indeed had boundless divine skills.

Buddhist divine skills, Divine Feet Skill.

Cultivated to the extreme, it is said to allow traversing thousands of miles in an instant.

However, in the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple today, no one dared claim to have fully mastered the Divine Feet Skill.

But at this short distance, Kongchen’s mastery in Divine Feet Skill was enough to overlook it.

Therefore, Kongchen’s figure magnified instantly in front of Li Fan. With a thunderous clang, amidst the Buddha’s voice, a giant ancient Buddha shadow appeared behind Kongchen, as he raised his palm to strike at the top of Li Fan’s head.

Vajra Undying Body, Vajra Seal, indestructible and unbreakable, as people watched from afar, it seemed like a Buddha mountain was pressing down, terrifying waves sweeping out, flattening the Sword Intent surrounding Li Fan’s body.

This sudden palm strike was too fast, exceedingly fierce. Even from a distance, Qi was watching tensely, with Sword Intent surging around him, ready to unleash his sword at any moment.

"Boom..."

A terrifying force crushed down, the body surrounded by Sword Aura was knocked flying; that immensely frightening Vajra Palm Seal pressed against Li Fan’s body, aiming to crush him to the ground, with constant thunderous roars in the sky, as everyone watched Li Fan’s physical form being pressed downward.

"Not unleashing his sword yet?" People watched the battlefield scene, thinking this strike might have already determined the battle’s outcome.

"Hmm?"

Just as they harbored this thought, they suddenly saw the body being pressed down by the palm seal turn into an afterimage, erased and dissipated.

"That’s not his real body..."

When did he move away?

Many people’s hearts pounded; does Li Fan have the unrivaled movement technique like the Buddhist Divine Feet Skill?

Where is he?

Kongchen was immersed in the power of his palm strike when suddenly divine eyes flashed like electric sparks, the Golden Body shimmering with golden light, as a surge of crisis rushed in.

A beam of light shot forth, a sword at the extreme speed, seeming to come from the ancient star sky, slicing through heaven and earth in an instant, leaving behind glimmers of starlight.

With a crisp crackling sound, as the sword light swept through, streaks of terrifying Sword Intent erupted, with horrifying sword scars appearing in that space, and the Golden Body shattered.

They saw Kongchen’s golden body showing a crack, subsequently being forcibly torn apart.

"Puff..."

His head and body separated, flying into the air, causing everyone’s hearts to fiercely tremble.

Time felt like it stopped, they watched the flying Buddha head, and then the white-clad figure turned back to Kongchen, whose aura waned again. But even standing there, he still resembled a peerless Sword Cultivator.

One sword, severed the Buddha Son of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple?

Countless held their breath, staring fiercely at the scene in the sky, as the passage of time seemed affected, with everything slowing down; the ascending head climbing higher, while the Buddha body incrementally shattered like a broken statue.

No blood, nor internal organs.

"This is..."

People watched the scene before them, a bit dazed at what they witnessed.

This seemingly simple duel repeatedly impacted their hearts.

That wasn’t Kongchen?

"Master, do you still have swords?"

A voice from the sky came, as Li Fan looked up, seeing the ancient Buddha open his mouth, revealing a face, none other than Kongchen’s visage.

"That is, Kongchen Ancient Buddha?"

Around the Qiyun Mountain Range, countless looked toward the sky, hearts overwhelmed with unrivaled sensation.

Then, who was the Kongchen that Li Fan severed earlier?

A Substitute Buddha?

Where is the true Kongchen?

And at this moment, what is this ancient Buddha in the sky?

There had always been rumors in Shanzhou that the Buddha Son Kongchen of the Buddhist sect was the reincarnation of Buddha, confirmed as such since childhood, destined to be Buddha Son.

But concerning reincarnation rumors, people were generally skeptical; do reincarnation and rebirth truly exist in this world?

Yet witnessing such divine skills now, they couldn’t help but wonder, perhaps the Buddhist sect indeed possesses unknown mysteries?

Li Fan gazed at the Kongchen Ancient Buddha’s figure appearing in the sky, oppressed by a terrifying pressure, making one involuntarily feel a sense of impotence.

"Seeing me is like seeing the true Buddha."

A voice reverberated in Li Fan’s mind, with the encompassing Buddhistic sounds resonating again; the heavens echoed in resonance, practitioners in the dojo bore solemn expressions, while many on distant streets showed faces of devotion, ready to prostrate and worship.

Even in Li Fan’s sea of consciousness, a Buddha appeared with coiled Buddhistic sound echoing deep within his mind.

In Li Fan’s awareness at this moment, he was facing countless Buddhas.

"How can this be defeated?"

Even the prodigies in the dojo felt some sympathy for Li Fan, seemingly able to sense Li Fan’s current despair.

Is this still a battle within the Sixth Realm?

What he faces is the true Buddha.

Earlier, Li Fan had already burned everything, unleashing the third sword; now, he stood beneath the ancient Buddha, that white-clad figure appearing particularly lonely, like attempting to shake a towering tree, insignificant.

"Can you still hold on?"

From a distant direction stood a Daoist spectator, Lu Changsheng of Taiping Temple, gazing with a smile like a friend asking Li Fan, seeming to worry for him.

He thought that the rumored reincarnated Buddha of the Buddhist sect seemed indeed intimidating.

Unkillable, indestructible, transformed into an ancient Buddha.

He wondered, if he faced Kongchen, how would he fight?

Surely it would also be a tough battle.

As for Li Fan, could he still unleash a fourth sword? Even if he did, it wouldn’t be likely to win, right?

The present Kongchen doesn’t look like someone who can be killed by a single sword.

"No need for concern."

Li Fan replied, still gazing at the ancient Buddha of the sky, as Buddha light shone down upon him, a voice arriving: "I will send Master to the West."

As his voice fell, all Heavens Buddha simultaneously struck with their palms, the Ten Thousand Buddha Hands collectively suppressed, collapsing that piece of heaven.

Li Fan raised his head, looking at the infinite Buddhist Seals, he closed his eyes, as the wind blew his long hair, white clothes fluttering, with Sword Intent emerging, as if growing out of despair.

As this Sword Intent emerged, with Li Fan’s body at its center, a Star Sky Sword Domain appeared.

Meanwhile, in Li Fan’s sea of consciousness, his Primordial Spirit sat upright facing the countless Buddhas, reciting the Sword Scripture, giving rise to ten thousand swords, as the Nine Heavens Divine Sword seemed to shine brightly.

Outside, Li Fan’s lips appeared to move; amidst the Buddhistic sounds, it seemed another sound echoed the heavens and earth.

Like an ancient Immortal reading scripture, the sound of sword chime resonated throughout heaven and earth.

In a distant land, within Qiyun House, Flying Swords broke through the air on their own, heading toward Li Fan. In the dojo, swords adhered to Sword Cultivators’ backs uncontrollably; the Sword Cultivators of Lingxiao Pavilion’s expressions changed dramatically, reaching out to grab their swords, feeling a severe humiliation.

Guan Shanyue of White Jade slightly turned to glance, his sword hum too, his heart trembled; looking at the lone standing figure, it seemed he was witnessing a peerless Sword Cultivator daring to vie against heaven and earth.

One person, one sword, fighting the heavenly gods and Buddhas.
