Chapter 340: Battle [3]
Seeing Miaofa do this, Hanba didn’t speak either; he believed that in the face of absolute strength, everything else was an illusion, and although he disliked these Buddhist techniques, with his own power, breaking them would be effortless for him.
Just then, Miaofa suddenly whispered, "Myriad Buddhas Bow to the Sect, open!"
As soon as Miaofa finished speaking, within the area covered by the golden light, figures of Buddhas appeared one after another, continuously chanting Buddhist scriptures.
And at this moment, on the viewing platform, Wang Yufan stared intently, feeling that something was off; wasn’t this the Eighteen Arhats? Could it be that this Myriad Buddhas Bow to the Sect was something Miaofa the Monk learned on his own? Or perhaps he comprehended it himself? Wang Yufan obviously didn’t believe this, as he was too familiar with it. Could the Buddhas here also be Sakyamuni? The answer was definitely no. Could this Miaofa the Monk also be a transmigrator? Wang Yufan kept thinking to himself. He suddenly became more interested in Miaofa than in Hanba.
Watching Miaofa perform this move, Hanba’s figure also suddenly grew a few points taller, because he felt waves of suppressive force from these Buddha shadows. He felt that if he didn’t fully unleash his cultivation, he might very well lose this match. In fact, he knew that Miaofa was not his opponent; what truly threatened him was that particular cultivation technique, which seemed to specifically counter him.
"Alright, it’s my turn now," Hanba’s voice fell, and to the renewed astonishment of the onlookers, he fully unleashed his cultivation.
In the VIP area, Shangguan Nan of Tianyu Divine Sect, feeling the power emanating from Hanba, exclaimed in surprise, "This power... is this Yuankun Realm? And it’s the second layer of Yuankun Realm. This person’s talent is too terrifying. It’s just the aura emanating from him..." Shangguan Nan of Tianyu Divine Sect did not voice the rest of his words.
That was because he couldn’t be sure and was very puzzled.
Meanwhile, Vice Sect Leader Zhang Dao of Shanhe Sect and Elder Sima Chun of Demon Shadow Divine Sect had their old faces flushed red; they seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. If Shangguan Nan of Tianyu Divine Sect wasn’t here, the two of them would definitely start fighting over Hanba. For a genius with such exceptional talent, if their sect could acquire him, the impact on their sect’s future would be extraordinary.
Their excitement was so great that they didn’t hear Shangguan Nan’s low murmur just now.
At this moment on the arena, when Hanba’s full power was displayed, it directly suppressed the Myriad Buddhas Bow to the Sect technique unleashed by Miaofa.
"amitabha, I didn’t expect Benefactor Hanba to have hidden his cultivation," Miaofa said.
"Alright, don’t talk about irrelevant things. I wasn’t hiding; it’s because there’s nothing here that makes me use my full strength, and it’s not because of your strength, but because you possess a cultivation technique that surpasses your own cultivation level."
"Therefore, today I must cripple your cultivation and destroy your technique," Hanba transmitted the latter sentence directly.
Upon hearing Hanba say this to him, the underlying meaning being to cripple him, no matter how resolute Miaofa was, he was still affected for a moment by Hanba’s words. This Hanba was not just saying it for fun, and he himself had to go all out.
"Since Benefactor has such confidence, then come on, let’s decide the victor with this one move," Miaofa replied.
Just after Miaofa finished speaking, he, who had been sitting cross-legged in the sky, directly stood up. Then, unleashing his full Primal Spirit Realm cultivation, he directly struck out a palm towards Hanba.
Under the Myriad Buddhas Bow to the Sect, Miaofa’s palm strike filled the entire sky around Miaofa with his palm prints.
Giant golden palm prints, carrying terrifying power, moved through the sky towards Hanba’s direction.
Hanba watched all of this with cold eyes, knowing it was all within his control. So, even though such power was suppressing him, it couldn’t stop him when he unleashed his full strength.
Hanba directly gripped the Sharktooth in one hand, lightly wiping it with the other, and a black spirit body emanated from the Sharktooth sword.
"A Sword Spirit! This Hanba’s sword actually has a Sword Spirit!" the onlookers exclaimed loudly.
The person next to him said speechlessly, "We all saw it. It’s not like we’ve never seen a Sword Spirit. You must be a bumpkin."
After being told off by the person next to him, that person also lowered his head. He was right, he was indeed a bumpkin. He had specifically traveled thousands of miles to Bright Moon City this time to watch this Grand Talent Competition, just to broaden his horizons. In fact, what that person said just now was not wrong. And on the viewing platform, there were quite a few people like him.
Sword Spirits are actually not common. Generally, the sect leaders and ancestors of some sects would also possess a sword with a Sword Spirit, but their intelligence is usually very low. For a genius with such cultivation to possess a Sword Spirit is not surprising to anyone; a Sword Spirit is used to provide combat power for one’s weapon, and among those of the same rank, those with a Sword Spirit are considerably stronger than those without.
A small black figure jumped out from the Sharktooth in Hanba’s hand, chattering loudly, speaking words that no one could clearly hear, but everyone knew that this Sword Spirit’s intelligence was definitely not ordinary.
The next moment, Hanba let out a deep roar, "Blood Kill Sword!"
The moment the words fell, a sword beam filled with monstrous blood energy, as if crossing from endless void, directly slammed into the Myriad Buddhas Bow to the Sect unleashed by Miaofa.
The instant the two attacks made contact, that part of the void seemed unable to bear such power, emitting sounds of wailing. An energy wave shaped like a mushroom cloud spread outwards at a visible speed.
Emperor Huang Wuji, sitting in the Imperial Family’s area, immediately arranged for his subordinates to reinforce the arena’s formation. He had a premonition that if the arena wasn’t reinforced in time, it was very likely to be destroyed by these two individuals.
The faces of the onlookers were filled with trepidation, while Shangguan Nan and others in the VIP area did not show much reaction.
"This little monk from Tianchan Temple is also very good; to be able to unleash such a technique, I feel that the grade of this technique must not be low," Zhang Dao of Shanhe Sect said.
"Indeed, this child’s innate comprehension ability is very high, but compared to this Hanba, he is still a bit lacking. I dare to assert that this Hanba will definitely reach the Original Ancestor Realm in less than a hundred years," Sima Chun of Demon Shadow Divine Sect said.
