Chapter 1539: Chapter 1540: Buddha and Slayer of Buddha

"I didn’t expect you could actually cultivate the Vajra Copper Man to the level of the Copper Body!"

Ye Mo’s voice rang out again, and as the words fell, his figure had already appeared in midair.

At this moment, a pair of sacred wings unfolded on his shoulders, like angel wings, except this pair was incomparably huge; when they spread open, they almost covered half the void.

Moreover, every flap of those wings carried a sensation as if one’s very soul was being purified.

This pair of wings was precisely the Purifying Wings that Ye Mo had condensed after successfully tempering his Essence-Energy-Spirit.

The Daoist Saint Evil Buddha, who had unleashed the Copper Body, saw this scene and his expression turned aghast. The wings Ye Mo displayed were extremely familiar to him—isn’t that the Purifying Wings of the Ancient Buddha Dazang? Even the Purifying Wings had fallen into his hands. Just thinking of this made him feel as though he was about to go mad.

Originally, without Ye Mo’s appearance, the Heretic Lord Daofa would certainly have helped him retrieve the Shariputra. Once he refined it, not only would his cultivation break through, he would also obtain the various inheritances of the Ancient Buddha Dazang. The benefits would have been endless. Yet now, everything had been taken by the man before his eyes.

The Skull Slaying Buddha Beads in the hands of the Daoist Saint Evil Buddha were already beginning to change. One skull bead after another directly recombined, forming a long, slender bead staff.

This was the terrifying aspect of a Buddhist Forbidden Artifact: it could be driven and could also transform into offensive weapons.

The Daoist Saint Evil Buddha gripped the Skull Bead Staff, transformed into the Copper Body, and viciously blasted toward Ye Mo, almost without infusing any martial pursuits, relying purely on brute force to crush him.

However, even this purely physical strike caused space itself to collapse without end. Wherever the Skull Staff swept, the Buddha-Slaying Curse runes spread everywhere, piercing through layer upon layer of space, arriving right before Ye Mo.

That single strike swept across in front of Ye Mo, shocking the Saintess and Master Ci En. This must be the Daoist Saint Evil Buddha’s true strength. The Skull Bead Staff smashed into Ye Mo’s body, which directly exploded, his entire person vanishing from where he had stood.

"A residual shadow?"

The Daoist Saint Evil Buddha’s face changed. He had never imagined Ye Mo’s speed to be so fast; it was likely entirely due to those Purifying Wings. As soon as he thought this, his rage erupted.

But at that very moment, a sharp Magic Weapon Red Tassle Spear light suddenly appeared in the sky, blasting straight toward the Daoist Saint Evil Buddha.

The Daoist Saint Evil Buddha did not even have time to react. The Magic Weapon Red Tassle Spear tore through the void and smashed directly into his undefeated Bronze Man body, erupting with a shocking sound as his body was driven back repeatedly in midair.

Looking closely, one could see that the Bronze Man body of the Daoist Saint Evil Buddha was already covered in cracks. Clearly, Ye Mo’s attack had injured him.

"Your speed is far too slow. You can’t hit me at all. And your Copper Body’s defense seems pretty useless as well!"

Ye Mo hovered in the void, the Purifying Wings trembling. After speaking, he once again turned into a residual shadow and vanished, as if he had disappeared into the void itself.

Just imagine: how fast must one be to pull this off?

"You want to use speed to defeat me? Utter delusion!"

The Daoist Saint Evil Buddha roared in fury. The Skull Bead Staff instantly extended to hundreds of zhang in length and smashed toward the Buddha Gate. Since he wanted to hide, then I’ll destroy this Buddha Gate. His attack fell directly upon the tallest Great Sun Tathagata Buddha Statue behind the Buddha Gate, a Great Sun Tathagata Buddha Statue over a hundred thousand zhang high.

This move was indeed effective, and Ye Mo had thought the opponent was attacking him. He had not expected him to instead target that massive Buddha Statue. Ye Mo’s body flashed and he directly blocked in front of the statue, taking the blow on behalf of the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha Statue.

Pfft!

Ye Mo spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, then stabilized his body in midair, yet there was still a smile hanging on his face, because the Daoist Saint Evil Buddha’s full-force strike was not as powerful as he had imagined.

Ye Mo directly retracted the Purifying Wings. Using this move against the Daoist Saint Evil Buddha now was already meaningless. He had scruples, but the Daoist Saint Evil Buddha did not.

Seeing Ye Mo take his strike head-on and only cough up a mouthful of blood, suffering no real injury, the Daoist Saint Evil Buddha’s heart involuntarily produced a trace of regret.

This regret flashed by in an instant, because he realized he very likely could not defeat Ye Mo.

As for Master Ci En, seeing Ye Mo use his own flesh to protect the Buddha Statue of Mahavairocana Buddha, he nodded in gratification.

"Jiumo Xin, this Ye Mo may be ruthless in slaughter, yet he knows how to protect. He would rather be injured himself than let the Great Buddha be harmed. That he could obtain and refine the Sharira of the Ancient Buddha Dazang is truly well-deserved."

Master Ci En said.

"I’ve only met him a few times and heard some of his deeds. He really is a rare person. Calling him a hero is no exaggeration."

The Saintess said calmly.

As the two spoke, the clash above had already entered a frenzy. Watching the battle overhead, Master Ci En and the Saintess could clearly see that Ye Mo now held an absolute advantage. Every move and strike he unleashed pressed the Daoist Saint Evil Buddha down hard.

Boom!

Ye Mo’s spear thrusts surged like Dragons, directly blasting the Daoist Saint Evil Buddha away.

Ye Mo’s current strength was no longer something the Daoist Saint Evil Buddha could match. If this dragged on, the Daoist Saint Evil Buddha’s defeat and death was already close at hand.

The Daoist Saint Evil Buddha wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. After that intense exchange with Ye Mo just now, he already knew he was entirely at a disadvantage. To defeat Ye Mo, he would have to use his killing move.

"Ye Mo, your strength is indeed formidable. If we keep fighting, I may not be able to win. The next move will end with either you dead or me!"

"Devour!"

A cold light surfaced on the Daoist Saint Evil Buddha’s face. He had never thought he would be forced to this extent in battle. The Skull Slaying Buddha Beads suddenly shattered apart, and each Skull Buddha Bead was actually devoured into his body.

Rumble!

A heaven-shaking aura erupted completely. The Daoist Saint Evil Buddha’s strength rose yet again, reaching Divine Venerate Nine Souls Peak. The entire Buddha Gate’s buildings and the surrounding space all started violently trembling and collapsing.

"Go die! Buddha-Slaying!"

His skin, formerly ancient-bronze, turned pitch-black. He crashed through space, and with a sudden punch, he gathered all the power of the Skull Slaying Buddha Beads into that fist. As the fist light blasted out, a gigantic skeletal phantom appeared behind him!

Boom!

The entire region of space began to crumble under the annihilating force of that punch.

"Five Buddhas True Body, Five Buddha Fire Handprint!"

Seeing this, Ye Mo’s expression finally turned completely grave. Even he felt a trace of dread facing that punch.

One Primary Buddha True Body after another descended upon Ye Mo’s body. One Dharma Seal after another—Zen Meditation Seal, Wish-Granting Seal, Fearlessness Granting Seal, Wheel of Dharma Seal, Earth-Touching Seal—fused together. The Undying Life-and-Death Flame, the Immortal-Slaying Domain, and even the Damo Curse’s scripture all merged into it, pushing the attack of the Five Buddhas Hand Seal to its pinnacle.

In that instant, a handprint imbued with profound Buddhist Law shattered the void and slammed directly toward the opponent’s Buddha-Slaying Strike.
