Chapter 918: Chapter 913 End of Tribulation Part 3

"Ignorance!"

A wave of spiritual disturbance exploded.

Jiu Se spread his arms wide, emitting rainbow-colored ripples like spirals from his body.

Those ripples seemed to have always existed in this Heavenly Realm space. In an instant, they enveloped Lin Xin and Fang Yu.

"Is this the Dream Path?" Black mist emanated from Fang Yu, temporarily resisting the colorful ripples, but constantly being rapidly worn away.

He clearly felt his Buddha Nature being continuously devoured and absorbed.

This was Jiu Se’s ultimate attack, specifically designed to completely absorb his Buddha Power.

The Future Buddha, titled the Future, yet reigning as the present Buddha Ancestor; only by dominating the present can one decide the future.

Jiu Se’s intent was clear, to first devour Fang Yu, merge as one, and then deal with Lin Xin.

"You want to make me fall into dreams? Trying to erode my will and soul?"

Fang Yu’s lips curled with a hint of coldness.

Wow....

Everything in front of him suddenly vanished, like paper ignited by flames.

Behind the paper was the real world.

A familiar place recalled countless times appeared before him.

Green ox, small river, bamboo forest, and the gentle woman washing clothes at the forest edge.

"Brother Yun, why are you standing there silly? Didn’t you go to join the exam at Lu Xing Academy?" The woman raised her head, looking in surprise at Fang Yu standing across the river.

Fang Yu’s expression suddenly softened.

"Fangfang...."

He murmured, as if recalling the numerous past events before he crossed the realm.

The woman put down the clothes, directly took off her shoes, and with bare feet stepped across the brook, jumping in front of him.

"Brother Yun, hurry up and go, why haven’t you set out yet? I’m waiting for you to finish the exam and return to marry me!"

The girl’s appearance was gentle, but her personality was tough and bold.

She tiptoed, directly kissing Fang Yu’s lips.

"Fangfang!" Fang Yu suddenly hugged the woman tightly.

"What’s wrong? Are you hit?" The woman was taken aback, slightly frightened by Fang Yu’s reaction.

"Nothing, just a bit tired...." Fang Yu closed his eyes, "To return, I still have a long, long way to go...."

"Aren’t you back now?" Fangfang said puzzledly.

"Not yet." Fang Yu smiled. "I’m still so far away, far away.... But as long as I wish, sooner or later I will return to find you."

"Really? But aren’t you right in front of me?" Fangfang asked puzzlingly.

Fang Yu didn’t reply. He just held the woman tightly. Opened his eyes.

Hiss....

Everything in front of him disappeared again, returning to the vortex of colorful ripples.

Boom!!

Not far away, Jiu Se was engulfed in golden light, entangled with a creature resembling dark red blood plasma.

The creature had ten arms, a head shaped like a distorted crown, and dozens of transparent filament wings behind. It was the previously appeared Sherie Divine Monarch Lin Xin.

Their power and speed in each strike could penetrate tens to hundreds of light-years, whether planets or suns, absolutely capable of instant annihilation.

Yet such civilization-destroying power in this Fifteenth Layer of the Heavenly Realm only manifested in an extremely small scope.

Massive powers and devastation fluctuated outward but were quickly swallowed by surrounding strong vortexes, transforming into the basic nutrients of this world layer, supplied back to suppress the three.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Jiu Se activated numerous golden long whips around him, accompanied by the Buddha silhouette behind, swinging out hundreds of billions of whip shadows.

All of Lin Xin’s arms were like wheels, countless white bones and blood light floated around him, forming an isolated void space.

Each of his moves was like a salvo of giant cannons, releasing blood-red sword light that broke through Jiu Se’s numerous golden whips, directly hitting him.

Jiu Se also dodged precisely, expression cold, avoiding Lin Xin’s attack.

Their entanglement unknowingly fell into a stalemate.

Fang Yu, just awakened from the Dream Path, clearly felt that part of his Buddha Nature and Buddha Power had been absorbed by Jiu Se.

Realizing he must not let these seven-colored ripples touch himself anymore.

His arm shook, and countless black mist exploded outward, forcibly tearing apart the Dream Path.

"Life and death Yin Yang, decree!" The yellow river on his hand babbled, suddenly shrinking some, seemingly consumed by this Divine Skill.

"The River of Aging!?!" Jiu Se finally recognized the river in Fang Yu’s hand from afar.

"You actually refined the entire River of Aging, turned it into a magic treasure carrying it with you!?" Jiu Se was well aware of the terror of the River of Aging in the Ninth Heavenly Realm.

This river was very special, even more so than higher-layered Heavenly Realms.

Its greatest effect was affecting time.

Now, Fang Yu refined and extracted it, making it his own magic treasure, integrating it within his body and soul.

Doing so would mean that, despite the Taoist Ancestor’s near-infinite lifespan, the River of Aging constantly consumed it, significantly shortening his life.

Such a reckless move, even Jiu Se wouldn’t dare to make such a gamble.

"Are you crazy!?" Jiu Se retreated, creating distance.

Lin Xin ceased pursuit; his density was strong but lacked techniques and Divine Skills, especially after splitting the Joyous Sword and Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads.

"Crazy?" Fang Yu’s expression remained calm, "I simply found the method I wanted, that’s all."

Consuming some of the River of Aging’s power, a dark yellow mist rapidly condensed before him.

"Great Yuan Enlightenment Sword Light." Fang Yu extended his palm, piercing into the dark yellow mist.

Sizzle!!

The mist instantly surged with two dark yellow sword blades, like entities, flying towards Jiu Se and Lin Xin.

He dared to face two mighty beings by himself.

Jiu Se’s expression slightly changed; the Buddha silhouette behind him chanted a dharma, causing all surrounding spatial power to vibrate and gather before him to block the dark yellow sword blades.

Just as the sword blade was about to collide with the power conglomerate.

Bang!!

The colorful power conglomerate immediately exploded.

It wasn’t destroyed, but instantly returned to the pre-conglomerate state, more like dispersing, disassembling.

Many other energies also returned to the moment they were flying in mid-air.

The entire conglomerate seemed to be dismantled, scattering into countless various energies dancing around.

A dark yellow sword blade pierced through the gap in the center of these energies, flying toward Jiu Se’s forehead.

Another one headed toward Lin Xin.

Its speed was not fast, but everything near the blade would twist and blur, as if erased by some power.

Lin Xin raised a hand, and pure Purification Light transformed into a beam shooting out.

The beam disappeared abruptly before it got close to the blade, as if it had never appeared.

"Hmm?"

He flickered and swapped positions, still wanting to try again.

Thud!!

At that instant, Lin Xin’s heart skipped a beat, finding himself back in the previous position, struck precisely in the head by the dark yellow sword blade.

Bang!!

The blade clashed hard with the tough skin of the skull, making a dull noise. It couldn’t penetrate.

"The power of time!?" Lin Xin suddenly realized.

"Great Yuan Enlightenment Sword Light, a sword technique once used by the same powerful Sword Master as Divine Wind Sword Master and Future Buddha, mastered by Yuan Enlightenment Sword Master."

Fang Yu said lightly.

"You can’t escape; this is a destined sword beyond cause and effect, controlling time."

Thud! Thud!!

Almost simultaneously, massive blood mists exploded on Jiu Se and Lin Xin’s bodies.

"Making everything return to the weakest state of the previous year, the Great Yuan Enlightenment Sword... truly formidable!" Jiu Se held his forehead, golden blood slowly trickling through his fingers.

"However, using the River of Aging as a cost to reappear Sword Light, how many times can you repeat?"

"Enough to kill you," Fang Yu replied calmly.

He shook his hand again, and the River of Aging wrapped around him shrank once more.

Two more dark yellow sword blades shot out, this time clearly condensed and indistinguishable from being solid.

A layer of destructive glow surrounded the blades.

The glow seemed like countless transparent spikes in motion, or like a small stream made up of bizarre hairs.

It completely encircled the sword blades, with a jagged mouth growing like a living creature, constantly opening and closing as if capable of swallowing and crushing anything.

Not waiting for Lin Xin to act.

Behind Jiu Se, the Golden Buddha opened a huge mouth, slowly chanting and reciting scriptures.

"Do you know why I am called Jiu Se?"

Jiu Se Divine Lord’s face showed bizarre and mocking expressions.

"Since it has come to this, let me show you what my true form is!!"

As he spoke, his entire body started to gradually melt.

The melting liquid split into nine different colors, distinct layers flowing into the surrounding space, vanishing into nothingness.

Silently.

The surroundings of Fang Yu and Lin Xin instantly transformed. From the Fifteenth Heavenly Realm, it somehow changed into a boundless void.

"Perish! The ultimate Jiu Se Realm...!"

Jiu Se’s voice echoed from afar in the surrounding void.

Boom!!

As if heaven and earth split open, the scene before Lin Xin and Fang Yu abruptly changed again.

Countless green snowflakes fluttered down from the sky.

Falling on Lin Xin.

"Time-space conversion?"

Lin Xin’s attributes were still skyrocketing, as the world and Taoist Ancestor he consumed had not been fully digested.

Reaching this advanced level, his voice already subtly echoed with overlapping sounds.

Once calm, rational, and extremely selfish, now madness and eeriness blended with intense self-destructive tendencies.

He was the same person yet two different selves. Two souls.

And these two souls were becoming one in an incomprehensible twisted form.

"No, this is the Buddhist Kingdom."

Fang Yu appeared behind him.

"You? Weren’t you trapped too?"

Lin Xin turned his head to look at Fang Yu, squinting.

"Trapped?" Fang Yu smiled.

"The Supreme Elder Jiuyue Divine Wind Sword Master, once the strongest sword dominating the universe, didn’t expect to be completely obliterated here.

What a pity...."

Slowly, he extended a hand, gazing at Lin Xin.

"Let me help you, be it Sherie Divine Monarch or Divine Wind Sword Master...!"

His hand suddenly clenched.

Crack!!

Lin Xin’s eyes widened abruptly, his body suddenly showed slender cracks from head to toe, as if about to split into left and right halves.
