Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 597

Chapter 597 Buddhism vs Taoism (2)

Zhang Yucheng frowned as he immediately noticed something. He had fought many times before Monk Wuzhi again, and their last confrontation was only a couple of decades ago. Back then, his Altruistic Golden Buddha Body was only 5 meters.

He knew the Altruistic Golden Buddha Body was a great body refining technique with 12 layers; with each layer, a monk would grow one meter. Despite how powerful the technique was, only a few people could cultivate it because it required a deep understanding of Buddhism, a lot of incense, and merit.

Wuzhi was the most talented younger generation of Buddhism, and he only cultivated it to the fifth level after millions of years. But now, after just a few decades, he went two levels.

'This could only mean two things: there was a catastrophe, and he saved billions of lives. Or, he was enlightened and created something that would greatly benefit Buddhism.'

Zhang Yucheng knew it was most likely the second option since he would know if Monk Wuzhi saved so many people. Regardless, he knew this battle would not be as simple as he thought.

Due to a lack of knowledge or information, Zhang Yucheng knew that something out of his expectations might occur with each passing minute. Furthermore, his master warned him of the possibility of the Dao Opening Sect's heir in the lower dimension intervening in his battle. After analyzing the situation, he decided to end this battle as quickly as possible.

[Wuji Has No Limits: Infinite Swords]

A black-and-white diagram covered the entire sky. And from that diagram, swords began to fall, with no indication of stopping. Each sword had the power to eradicate thousands of tiny universes, and there was an infinite amount of them.

Monk Wuzhi immediately knew his opponent was going for the kill after seeing this attack.

[Out of the Five Elements and Three Realms]

Buddha is a supreme being that has transcended the five elements of all matters. It is also detached from the mundane realms, the realm of the dead, and the realm of the spirit.

After using this technique, all the swords passed through Monk Wuzhi's body as if he was nonexistent. With this technique, he entered a state of intangibility similar to Wang Wei's Nothingness Dao.

Monk Wuzhi could see the shock on his opponent's face, and he knew the reason. In their last confrontation, he could not achieve this level of intangibility. Wuji involved the concept of everything being born from nothing, so his technique should be useless to a high-level spell like the one Zhang Yucheng used.

However, the current him was not him of yesterday. Without giving the latter a chance to brief, Monk Wuzhi went on the offensive.

[Buddha's Light: Call of Samsara]

Monk Wuzhi first took a prayer stance with his palms touching before putting one hand forward. A bright and pure golden light emanated from his hand, illuminating the dark night; the light was so bright that, for a moment, it appeared as if the sun had resurfaced, signaling the end of the darkness knowns as the night.

The golden light did not affect the diagram above them, nor did it affect the falling swords. The light directly attacked Zhang Yucheng.

'Do it. You know you want to.'

'That's right. Life is hard, so why struggle?'

'End this misery and relieve your burden by entering Samsara.'

'That's right. This is the best place; you can forget your problems, pain, and suffering.'

'You can be free.'

Zhang Yucheng groaned as he felt a massive headache. He could not concentrate with millions of whispers tempting him to give up on his life and enter Samsara. He could feel his Will to live rapidly diminish, and each voice's reasons to do so became more convincing. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

Zhang Yucheng could feel his spirit falling into an eternal abyss full of despair and negative emotions.

'Nooo,' he screamed, waking up from the terror. The voices continued, but he took advantage of this brief clarity to act. He manifested a two-fold shield inside his Sea of Consciousness to defend his soul.

The first shield contained Yin-Yang power, with a heavy focus on the Yin side since it was related to the soul. Wuji came before Yin and Yang and can evolve into Yin-Yang. So, his Wuji Tao Body was a Yin-Yang Body with even more abilities.

For the second layer of the shield, Zhang Yucheng condensed all the Defensive and Soul-related Sword Wills he knew. With these two levels of protection, he reduced the voices to the point where he could ignore them.

But Monk Wuzhi would not let things proceed smoothly.
