Gu Hai flung out his sleeve without turning around. One hundred Gautama Divine Palms and one hundred Jiang Gautama replicas immediately vanished.
“What?” Everyone’s expression changed, evincing incredulity.
Everyone initially thought Gu Hai had sought Vairocana because he was not strong enough, wanting Vairocana to back him. However, even Vairocana did not dare underestimate those one hundred Jiang Gautama replicas, yet Gu Hai destroyed them all without even turning his head.
Vairocana gaped slightly. Now he understood why Gu Hai had the confidence to say he had a ten percent chance.
“That’s impossible!” Mortal Gautama’s face sank.
“It’s the Gu’s Immortal Firmament? That’s impossible! How can the Gu’s Immortal Firmament trap one hundred ninth-layer Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators?” Jiang Gautama was shocked.
After Gu Hai put away the one hundred Jiang Gautama replicas, he tried to pull the White Emperor out from the swamp on the divine blood poison ant’s head.
“Ah! Don’t!” the White Emperor suddenly yelled in pain.
“What’s going on?” Gu Hai did not dare to continue pulling.
“Poison threads! The divine blood poison ant’s poison threads in the swamp are stabbed into my skin, reaching my physical souls. They have also reached the spiritual souls in my head. If you force me out, my souls feel like knives are cutting them to pieces. Argh! It hurts!” the White Emperor cried out in pain.
Gu Hai’s expression changed. Poison threads? Stabbed into the souls? Given that, he did not dare to drag the White Emperor out.
Gu Hai turned his head and looked at Jiang Gautama. “Jiang Gautama, let the White Emperor out, and we can negotiate!”
“Hah! Haha! Negotiate? Do you think I will negotiate with you now? The White Emperor did not know what was good for her; she let Gu Tang’s souls go, so she shall suffer in place of Gu Tang here. Humph! Do you think you can run? You used the Gu’s Immortal Firmament to trap the earlier one hundred replicas, right? I don’t believe you can trap much more in your immortal firmament. All replicas, listen up! Immediately take down Gu Hai! Kill without mercy!” Jiang Gautama commanded.
“Yes!” close to three thousand Jiang Gautama replicas shouted.
“Oh no!” Vairocana’s expression changed.
Whoosh!
Vairocana stepped forward.
When the one hundred replicas vanished, Vairocana immediately understood what had happened. He guessed it was the Gu’s Immortal Firmament. Although he did not know how the Gu’s Immortal Firmament became this incredible, it could not possibly trap three thousand, even if it had managed one hundred.
With so many replicas, the replicas could use their great strength to break out of the immortal firmament. Even Vairocana could not handle three thousand Jiang Gautama replicas, what more Gu Hai? If the immortal firmament shattered, he would die without a doubt.
Vairocana immediately rushed towards Gu Hai.
“Vairocana? I told you not to act rashly. Know your place! Humph!” Mortal Gautama snorted coldly.
Whoosh!
Mortal Gautama’s figure flashed, disappearing from the mountaintop. He appeared in front of Vairocana the next moment and thrust a palm towards Vairocana.
This attack was not the Gautama Divine Palm but the Buddhist Nation in Hand. When Mortal Gautama executed the Buddhist Nation in Hand, it created an overwhelming suction like a world was trying to drag Vairocana in.
Vairocana’s expression changed. “Scram!”
As Vairocana spoke, he also extended his hand and executed the Buddhist Nation in Hand.
The two Buddhist Nations in Hand clashed in the air.
Boom! A loud commotion shook the secret realm immortal firmament.
The two’s palms seemed to have two worlds clashing.
The two showed ferocious expressions as they attacked each other. However, they seemed equally matched.
“How powerful of Vairocana! To think he has such strength!” Mortal Gautama said with a sullen expression.
Clearly, Vairocana’s strength surpassed Mortal Gautama’s expectations. Furthermore, Vairocana also felt extremely anxious, as he could not do anything about Mortal Gautama. This placed the distant Gu Hai in danger.
All the replicas were in the ninth-layer Upper Heavenly Palace Realm and could arrive in an instant. During the instant Mortal Gautama delayed Vairocana in this deadlock, all the replicas arrived before Gu Hai and executed the Gautama Divine Palm.
There were nearly three thousand replicas. When they attacked, the center of that area was like a piercing, blazing sun illuminating the world. Even a consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator could not block this.
“Gu Hai, it’s over!” the nearby Jiang Gautama sneered.
“Mister Gu!” Vairocana cried out anxiously.
Vairocana could no longer save Gu Hai in time. Everyone believed Gu Hai would die for sure.
However, Gu Hai narrowed his eyes and flung out his sleeve again.
Whoosh!
A strange wind blew.
Buzz!
The nearly three thousand Jiang Gautama replicas suddenly vanished.
Three thousand Gautama Divine Palms had all vanished.
Gone?
They are all gone?
“This is impossible!” Jiang Gautama exclaimed.
Both Mortal Gautama and Vairocana goggled, appearing incredulous.
Even the pupils of Heavenly Gautama constricted, revealing shock.
The Gu’s Immortal Firmament is only an imperfect immortal firmament. How can it withstand three thousand Jiang Gautama replicas attacking it? This is impossible! Even the Unrestrained Heavenly Demon’s immortal firmament cannot do that.
“Hahahaha! Mister Gu, the Siddhārtha Buddha is right. You indeed hold the mandate of fate!” Vairocana guffawed.
“I don’t believe it!” Jiang Gautama stepped forward and instantly arrived by Gu Hai.
Jiang Gautama thrust his palm towards Gu Hai.
As that palm approached, the space in front of Gu Hai rippled as if a claw had ripped through it. It looked like that palm would capture Gu Hai. Space warped, causing the White Emperor discomfort. The other heads trapped there screamed in pain.
Gu Hai’s face sank as he shielded the White Emperor.
“Humph!” Gu Hai let out a cold snort and flung out his sleeve.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew, and Jiang Gautama vanished.
“What?” Heavenly Gautama and Mortal Gautama chorused in shock.
That was the real Jiang Gautama, not a replica. How could he be gone? In that instant, everyone looked at Gu Hai with a strange gaze. That was a consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator.
Jiang Gautama disappeared in an instant? He had been pulled into the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.
After entering the Gu’s Immortal Firmament, Jiang Gautama appeared in outer space.
The Gu’s Immortal Firmament already had the Go Dao laws, and Gu Hai’s grasp of the Go Dao laws was the best in the world. He now manipulated the Go Dao laws, forming a large Go Dao ritual array.
The Thirty-Five Line-Pair World Ritual Array immediately manifested a vast outer space.
This vast outer space trapped the three thousand Jiang Gautama replicas.
When Jiang Gautama entered outer space, he saw his replicas in the distance.
“What are you doing? Quickly gather here!” Jiang Gautama shouted.
“Us…? Yes!” all the replicas answered bitterly.
Whoosh!
The surrounding replicas started flying towards Jiang Gautama. However, their paths strangely deviated as they flew, failing to arrive before Jiang Gautama and going farther away instead.
Stars danced in the surroundings. The Jiang Gautama replicas seemed to have lost their sense of direction, going farther away and disappearing into the stars.
Besides Jiang Gautama, who had astonishing vision, the other replicas got lost in this outer space.
Lost?
“A Go Dao ritual array?” Jiang Gautama’s expression changed.
The lost replicas were horrified. Initially, they could see the others, but as time passed, they found themselves alone in outer space.
“No!” some replicas cried out in rage.
Boom!
Those replicas quickly attacked space, creating average-sized black holes.
However, space promptly recovered under the influence of the Go Dao laws.
The replicas attacked with everything they had but could not keep up with the ritual array’s recovery.
The distant Jiang Gautama felt depressed. “Your attacks are all too scattered. If you focus your attacks, you can instantly shatter even the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.”
Jiang Gautama flew anxiously towards one of the replicas.
However, the farther he flew, the more his path deviated.
Because of the Go Dao ritual array, Jiang Gautama could not approach the replicas.
“A Go Dao ritual array? I understand now. If it were just the Gu’s Immortal Firmament, trapping ten replicas would already be the limit, as the Gu’s Immortal Firmament could not possibly withstand the combined attack of ten replicas. However, this Go Dao ritual array is too incredible, separating all the replicas and preventing them from working together. With no way to launch a combination attack, they cannot break the Gu’s Immortal Firmament—one replica or three thousand replicas are the same. You bastard!” Jiang Gautama said in great depression.
While Jiang Gautama was depressed, the Go Dao ritual array suddenly gathered immense energy into a manifested saber and swung it down at Jiang Gautama.
Shing!
With support from the Go Dao laws, the manifested saber appeared ferocious and boundlessly vast.
“Humph! Even if you have a Go Dao ritual array, I’m at the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. Gautama Divine Palm!” Jiang Gautama shouted.
Boom!
The Gautama Divine Palm clashed with the manifested saber, and space shuddered.
The force was too immense, creating a humongous black hole. This black hole was what made the Gu’s Immortal Firmament shudder as if it would shatter.
Outside, Gu Hai’s face sank. He knew he could not continue this. Otherwise, his Gu’s Immortal Firmament would be destroyed.
Whoosh!
Gu Hai flung Jiang Gautama out of the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.
“He’s out?” Mortal Gautama, Heavenly Gautama, and Vairocana all felt slightly startled.
Fortunately, the Gu’s Immortal Firmament is not so horrifying that it can deal with a consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator. It trapped Jiang Gautama for only a while before he got out?
When Jiang Gautama came out, his expression changed as he looked at Gu Hai. The astral manifested saber earlier had been very powerful, significantly aggravating his injuries.
“Gu Hai!” Jiang Gautama snarled with hatred on his face.
The Gu’s Immortal Firmament could not contain Jiang Gautama, but Jiang Gautama also feared the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.
On the other side, Gu Hai could do nothing about Jiang Gautama, but he did not care anymore. Perhaps the three thousand replicas caused too big a commotion earlier, scaring the divine blood poison ant into roaring.
“Roar!”
When the divine blood poison ant reared its head back and roared, the entire secret realm immortal firmament shuddered. The swampy area on its head churned, sucking in the various heads.
“Don’t!”
“Argh!”
Various heads sank into the swamp, now dead.
The trapped White Emperor also felt incredibly horrified. Gu Hai’s expression changed dramatically as he quickly grabbed the White Emperor’s head.
“Leave quickly! Just leave me behind!” the White Emperor yelled.
The divine blood poison ant is going to consume the White Emperor?
Gu Hai’s expression changed. How could he let something like that happen?
“Since that’s the case, divine blood poison ant, come into the Gu’s Immortal Firmament too!” Gu Hai shouted ferociously.
Boom!
A gale blew. Gu Hai wanted to bring the entire Buddhist Energy sea and the divine blood poison ant into the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.
“How dare you?!” Jiang Gautama, Mortal Gautama, and Heavenly Gautama roared furiously.
