"Slash!"
Su Yuan drew his sword, and the divine light of the Jade Emperor Sword burst forth. An indescribably mysterious sword light surged against the massive Buddha Hand of the Bodhi congregation.
The clash of sword and palm caused a trembling in the Void Heaven, and the entire space was immediately enveloped by an incredibly bright spirit light.
After a brief confrontation, the gigantic Buddha Hand, which shrouded the Buddha Country and gathered infinite faith, was gradually cut open by the sword light, creating an ever-expanding golden chasm!
Like an aurora melting the first snow, the mysterious sword light penetrated deeper into the Buddha Hand. In just a breath or two, it abruptly sliced through the colossal Buddha Hand formation, its momentum unabated as it struck toward Duo E!
"This sword... how is it possible?!"
Duo E's eyes widened in disbelief, unable to fathom that Su Yuan could slice through the mighty Buddha Hand executed with a true Buddha body with a single sword strike!
This palm, which gathered the faith of billions of beings across three cosmic epochs, was of such magnitude that even a legendary Emperor Level existence might not easily withstand it.
Yet, at this moment, Su Yuan effortlessly shattered it with just one sword!
Facing the approaching mystical sword light, Duo E had no time to evade or perhaps realized evasion was impossible. In the blink of an eye, he was struck by the sword light, and even the true Buddha body was gradually cleft apart like the giant Buddha Hand.
As the sword light descended upon him, Duo E immediately sensed something: "This sword light, it can annihilate 'Buddhist Nature' so utterly?..."
Duo E's gaze shook, realizing the power of Su Yuan's sword itself was no less than that of the colossal Buddha Hand, and more so, its divine force had an unparalleled restraint on his Buddha Power!
It seemed to be a sword move specifically designed to destroy Buddhist power.
"How could there be such a sword move?!" Duo E's gaze, full of shock and doubt, fell upon Su Yuan, shouting in a deep voice, "What is this sword called?"
Su Yuan made a flourish with his sword, sheathing the Jade Emperor Sword, and answered while raising his eyes, "This sword exists solely to obliterate you, hence I name it—Killing Bodhi."
"Killing Bodhi? Killing Bodhi?!" Duo E's expression froze, "Damn it, is this a contingency left by the First Epoch?!"
Duo E glimpsed the golden light flickering in Su Yuan's eyes and vaguely surmised that this was an ultimate move or secret technique that Su Yuan, or perhaps Emperor Ziwei, had comprehended in battle.
"However, as long as the Buddha Country persists and the faith endures, our sect shall never be extinguished!"
Duo E's eyes burned fiercely as the fire of faith ignited around him, the wound on his chest blurring as if it was about to be erased.
Su Yuan, however, replied, "Is that truly so?... Why don't you take a look around?"
Duo E turned to look in all directions, and to his shock, in the boundless Buddha Country, billions of Bodhi Followers were also engulfed in the divine light of Killing Bodhi. As the Buddha Light on each of them flickered, they shattered apart within the Buddha Country, dissipating like smoke!
"How is this possible?!" Duo E was stunned beyond belief, his eyes full of incredulity. "These followers were supposed to be invulnerable to direct attacks as their divine souls are manifested within our sect's Buddha Country Domain...
No, this isn't an attack... Did you liberate them?!"
Duo E gazed at the Bodhi Followers, each bearing a look of liberation, and in an instant, understood something.
Su Yuan nodded slightly and said, "As the Bodhi Sect Master, you guided the world's Bodhi Sect followers to be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss after death, but in reality, you trapped the divine souls of billions within your Buddha Country Domain for countless millennia...
Yet you, in your selfishness, bind so many deceased souls. As the Sect Master, you truly have 'universally saved all beings.' My sect merely allowed them to awaken and choose their liberation."
These Bodhi Followers might once sincerely believed in the compassionate and all-saving Bodhi Sect Master, trusting that the Duo E Sect Master would ferry them to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss after death, cultivating to eventually achieve a True Buddha state.
However, they entered a false Buddha Country Domain.
Countless followers brought here were burning incense, bowing to the Buddha, reciting sutras, and meditating endlessly, only to provide faith for Duo E day after day, continuing for one epoch, two epochs... even three epochs!
Even if some with advanced cultivation occasionally 'awoke,' they were immediately 'transcended' by the Buddha Country Domain, forgetting the past, losing themselves, and continuing to provide faith.
Thus, this Buddha Light Magnificent, Righteous and Bright Buddha Country Domain, became, in truth, a 'cage,' imprisoning the souls of all Bodhi Followers, neither entering the Netherworld nor undergoing reincarnation.
And with this sword [Killing Bodhi], Su Yuan, by saving through slaying, used the faith and consciousness of each follower within the colossal Buddha Hand formation to awaken all Bodhi Followers in reverse, helping them each to break free from this 'Pure Land of Buddhism'...
The divine light of Killing Bodhi spread across the sky, as billions of followers vanished like smoke, escaping from suffering.
Having lost the vast belief, not only were Duo E's wounds hard to heal, but the entire Buddha Country Domain began collapsing, as if suffering a backlash.
In a brief moment, the 'clang' of a darkening breaking sound emanated from the fading Buddha Wheel behind Duo E. His aura dropped precipitously as if a lamp running out of oil.
"You won...!" Duo E steadfastly looked at Su Yuan, "Your unwavering will surpasses that of our sect."
Though a strong unwillingness flickered in the eyes where the Buddha Flame was gradually fading, Duo E still acknowledged Su Yuan as the ultimate victor of this Emperor Era's Primordial showdown!
This was not only because Su Yuan could defeat the Tribulation Crossing Three Elements himself but also due to his relentless pursuit of the Dao.
Duo E, relying on the Buddha Country and Power of Faith, arduously crossed three lifetimes, finally waiting for the chance to become an Emperor. He believed there was none in Heaven and Earth whose commitment and effort in seeking the Dao surpassed his own, and no one more deserving to achieve the Ultimate Emperor Realm!
