Chapter 1064: Chapter 374: New Joy (Double Chapter)_2

In the void space of the universe, purple thunder suddenly spanned the heavens, and jade fire sprang up in clusters.

Out in distant starspace, besides the scarlet-golden Celestial Chen True Fire, emerald Nine Abyss True Fire was also flowing and scattering toward this side.

Within the bright yellow Yuanji Magnetic Sea, vast purple lightning was breeding and converging, transforming into a colossal Yang Gang Thunder Dragon that thrust its dragon head forward.

Where purple thunder and jade fire met, they instantly engulfed those inheritors of the Great Void Temple.

The pitch-black great Buddha that Yuanmie Incarnation had turned into brought his two palms together and apart, then joined them before his own chest.

But down below, the black Yin Thunder Dragon had already swept away the massive black lotus.

At the same time, the purple Yang Thunder Dragon and the jade-green Yin Fire Tiger met in midair; under yin–yang harmonizing, a Purple-Green Taiji Diagram manifested.

The roar of thunder and the leaping of flames, in that instant, joined together with Dragon’s Chant and Tiger’s Roar.

As the Purple-Green Taiji Diagram revolved, the fierce radiance of the Dragon-Tiger Strike immediately shone upon the pitch-black great Buddha.

More than ten years ago, Yuanmie had already been able to vie head-on with Heavenly Dragon Temple’s Abbot Miao Xin, whose minor realm was above his own, and had even harbored the intent to use the Reversed Round Mirror Wisdom Array to ambush and kill the opponent.

Now Yuanmie, who had already reached Perfection of the Eighth Heavenly Layer, was far more formidable than back then.

As the pitch-black great Buddha joined his palms, besides the black evil fire and evil water at his side, black evil earth and evil wind were added.

Earth, water, fire, and wind were all complete, yet neither emptiness nor form, but instead the four great elements in discord and contradiction, hence the state of all things and all phenomena being annihilated.

The sinister pitch-black great Buddha was at this moment shrouded by a faint halo; when observed, it actually possessed a trace of solemn, auspicious bearing.

But when examined closely, it was full of contradictions, making one feel on the verge of madness.

The brilliant radiance of the Dragon-Tiger Strike shone upon the pitch-black great Buddha, yet for a time it was actually blocked by that bizarre Buddha light.

In detail, the splendor formed by Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire was continuously destroying the bizarre Buddha light.

But conversely, the bizarre Buddha light possessed a powerful force of shattering and extinction, similarly turning back to pulverize the radiance woven from Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire.

The two sides assumed a posture of mutual destruction.

The radiance of the Dragon-Tiger Strike was, for the moment, unable to directly strike Yuanmie.

The power to destroy all things around Yuanmie’s whole body likewise could not be fully unleashed, confined to a corner.

Relatively speaking, Lei Jun was more unfamiliar with the Great Void Temple’s inheritance.

He had heard that the Great Void Temple’s Ninth Heavenly Layer realm was not, like other Buddhist Sect orthodox lineages and the White Lotus Sect, collectively termed the Dharma Body Realm.

On the Great Void Temple’s side, the Ninth Heavenly Layer was called the Realm of Great Extinction.

The lower Eighth Heavenly Layer realm was called Emptiness Adherence.

At present, Yuanmie Monk’s cultivation was precisely that of Four Great Elements All Non-Empty Yet Adhered.

Lei Jun himself had replaced the other party to stand upon that black lotus, watching with interest the black Buddha before him.

But his hands were not the least bit slow.

The black Yin Thunder Dragon and the scarlet-golden Yang Fire Tiger once again merged into one.

Thus, in the universe’s void space, besides the Purple-Green Taiji Diagram, there was now an added Black-Red Taiji Diagram.

Seeing this, Yuanmie Monk caused the pitch-black great Buddha before him to press its palms together, then suddenly flung both palms outward.

With this motion, on the surface of the pitch-black Buddha’s body, streaks of white light abruptly appeared.

They seeped out from within to without.

On the pitch-black Buddha’s body surface, streak after streak of fissures flickering with white light appeared in an instant; its own body began to fracture.

As the white light flashed, the surrounding Profound Yellow Universe Void Space likewise seemed to turn into a flat scroll of painting, on which countless fissures flickering with white light appeared, on the verge of being torn apart.

The Great Void Temple’s inheritance truly lived up to its reputation for destructive power: with this single move wielded by Yuanmie Monk in Perfection of the Eighth Heavenly Layer, its offensive and destructive might was already almost comparable to that of some Ninth Heavenly Layer experts.

But at this very moment, as the Black-Red Taiji Diagram—bred from Yang Fire and Yin Thunder by the Yin Thunder Dragon and Yang Fire Tiger—spun, another brilliant radiance erupted, striking that pitch-black great Buddha.

Under the illumination of the light, the fissures flickering with white light lost their white glow, leaving only cracks that silently shattered.

The void of the Profound Yellow Universe regained its original state.

Only the pitch-black great Buddha itself, under the shining of the converged strong light, silently fractured, then turned to ash and vanished.

A young monk clad in a black kasaya appeared, features handsome but gaze defiant; it was precisely the current abbot of the Great Void Temple, Yuanmie Monk.

After the pitch-black great Buddha was destroyed, Yuanmie himself was shrouded by the powerful light where the two Taiji Diagrams converged.

Yet at that very instant, Yuanmie raised his hand and pointed one final finger toward Lei Jun.

Black qi condensed from his body, forming a single line, like a needle, like a thorn, piercing through the boundless void straight toward Lei Jun’s face.

The Great Void Temple’s mana destroyed all things, offense and defense in one, but what it excelled at most was always attack and destruction.

Lei Jun stood in the void without dodging or evading.

At the center of his brows a wondrous radiance suddenly flickered.

In the next moment, a beam of red light shot out at extreme speed, severing in midair the black line extending from Yuanmie Monk’s fingertip right on the spot!

Yuanmie Monk let out a low shout, but his figure had already been submerged and dissolved by the strong light bursting from the two Yin Yang Taiji Diagrams.

The two of them were, this very day, meeting face-to-face for the first time.

However, there would be no second time.

Lei Jun stood atop the black lotus and slightly inclined his head.

Yuanmie Monk was indeed possessed of heavenly talent.

Back then at Vajra Temple, even after running into a setback due to the unexpected descent of Sumi’s Vajra Division into the Mortal World, he still managed to attain his current realm.

Moreover, this person had not merely advanced swiftly in cultivation.

His supernatural powers and mana were all tyrannical; in a Duel of Magic, his combat strength was extraordinary.

Previously, among opponents Lei Jun had directly engaged who were at Perfection of the Eighth Heavenly Layer, the one with the highest overall strength had been Shang Nan of the Great Ming Mortal Tao Country, superior by half a notch even to Fu Dongsen of the Great Tang Mortal World, and further above Pure Yang Palace’s Rong Guangchen, Mi Han of the Solitary Eagle Khanate’s Sunset Tribe, and Master Gongbu of Sumi’s Vajra Division.

But as of today, that list needed to be updated.
