Chapter 272: Chapter 260: Primordial Spirit Thoughts Enter the Long River

It is said that Lu Ya returned to the past intending to Slay the Three Corpses of Wukong, but it backfired, plunging himself into crisis. He was trapped inside the time tunnel, unable to either exit or retreat.

Wukong blocked the entrance of the time tunnel, and Victorious Fighting Buddha chased him from behind. Indeed, there was a tiger in front and a wolf behind, leaving no room to advance or retreat.

With the plain-colored Cloud Realm Flag in his hand, Victorious Fighting Buddha pursued Lu Ya, summoning various Dharma Seals and shaking the time tunnel violently.

Lu Ya was already no match for Victorious Fighting Buddha, and with Wukong upfront wielding the Creation Heavenly Mechanism Staff, the situation became dire. Lu Ya had no choice but to urgently request Great Sun Tathagata to retreat and come to his aid. However, while Victorious Fighting Buddha intended to leave earlier, Great Sun Tathagata fiercely entangled him, and now, when Great Sun Tathagata wished to leave, Victorious Fighting Buddha naturally would not let him escape. Embracing the Eastern Emperor Bell, he struck Great Sun Tathagata, causing him to vomit blood repeatedly.

Lu Ya was anxious, but his anxiety was of no use as he fiercely clashed with Victorious Fighting Buddha.

Buddha’s Light and blue light exploded, as if two planets were colliding, the power frighteningly immense.

"Lu Ya, you seek your own death by trying to kill my past self, now do not even dream of escaping!" Wukong lightly shouted, pushing Lu Ya back once again.

The combat power of Victorious Fighting Buddha was unmatched; his fists caused the Jade Being to keep retreating, and the body of the Jade Being began to crack.

The most powerful technique of the Jade Being was the Time Law, which could create a turbulent flow of time, trapping the enemy in the long river of time, causing them to lose their way. However, Victorious Fighting Buddha, being self-aware and a manifestation of Wukong—who had nearly entered Reincarnation in the past—had already completely understood himself. Nothing in this world could confuse his true heart anymore.

"Great Compassion Palm!" Victorious Fighting Buddha struck with a palm, which although named after compassion, was an extremely fierce killing move.

Victorious Fighting Buddha said, "I send you to liberation!"

Lu Ya cursed, "Arrogant!"

But Lu Ya had exhausted all his methods and unleashed all his killing moves, yet still could not overcome Wukong. This time, Victorious Fighting Buddha overwhelmed him, leaving him powerless to respond. The plain-colored Cloud Realm Flag sent out a beam of white light, sweeping Lu Ya away before Victorious Fighting Buddha suddenly caught up and threw a punch at the Jade Being!

"Turn around, my treasure!" Lu Ya shouted loudly.

A severe cold light shot from the eyes of the Jade Being, and a single glance felt as if one were in thousand-year-old ice.

Victorious Fighting Buddha felt that his punch was somewhat hindered, then a cold light sprayed from the eyes of the Jade Being, aiming directly at his neck.

Victorious Fighting Buddha had to raise the plain-colored Cloud Realm Flag to wrap around his body. The cold light struck the edge of the flag, causing it to tremble, then quieted down.

Victorious Fighting Buddha roared, "Lu Ya, you’ve used up all your tricks, now die in this time tunnel!"

Having said that, he raised his fists, and behind him appeared a giant Buddha statue of ten thousand feet, forming the Wisdom-Fist Seal and suddenly throwing a punch downward.

"Boom!"

The time tunnel suddenly collapsed. Wukong hastily retracted his Creation Heavenly Mechanism Staff and collected the Great Revolution Seal.

Lu Ya raised the Jade Being into the air. Struck by the ten-thousand-foot Dharma Body of Victorious Fighting Buddha, it burst open, turning into shards of jade scattered across various places by the long river of time. Lu Ya then seized this opportunity to rush toward the tunnel entrance, but just as his head emerged, Wukong fiercely struck with his staff!

"Boom!"

The blow of the Creation Heavenly Mechanism Staff on Lu Ya’s head immediately caused his head to burst open, and he fell back into the time tunnel while Victorious Fighting Buddha caught up, throwing the plain-colored Cloud Realm Flag out of the time tunnel back to Wukong, to prevent it from being lost in the river of time.

Then, Victorious Fighting Buddha grabbed one of Lu Ya’s legs, using Lu Ya as a human weapon to slam him on the tunnel entrance, causing his body to explode immediately!

Lu Ya’s body burst into a mist of blood, and the time tunnel was also collapsed by this action of Victorious Fighting Buddha.

Lu Ya roared furiously, "Victorious Fighting Buddha! You ruin my plans."

The Victorious Fighting Buddha did not speak, but emitted Immeasurable Light to turn Lu Ya’s flesh body into a pile of flesh, and coldly said, "It was your own miscalculation, how can you blame me for ruining your plan? Am I supposed to stand here and let you slaughter me?"

Lu Ya was furious. The time tunnel was sealed, and the Jade Maiden had also exploded. Who knew how long it would take to open the time tunnel and get out again? Moreover, Great Sun Tathagata was being continuously defeated by the Victorious Fighting Buddha, clearly no match for him. He wanted to retreat, but he was unable to break free. If the battle continued, he feared he would face disaster.

Even Lu Ya’s frantic jumping was of no use, especially now that his flesh body had been crushed, leaving only his Primordial Spirit.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha punched towards Lu Ya’s Primordial Spirit, intending to shatter it.

But suddenly, Lu Ya’s Primordial Spirit burst forth with the essence of Separation Fire, blazing up and rendering the Victorious Fighting Buddha’s fierce Fist Gang powerless to break through.

The Nirvana Staff suddenly appeared in his hand, and the Victorious Fighting Buddha, wielding the Nirvana Staff, broke through the essence of Separation Fire to strike at Lu Ya’s Primordial Spirit.

Lu Ya knew he was doomed this time, yet he was unwilling to use Divine Thought into Thunder. Doing so would cause even Great Sun Tathagata to dissipate. Moreover, although Great Sun Tathagata was continuously losing, he might be able to turn the tables like Wukong and defeat the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

However, whether he could hold on was now a major concern. The past body of the Victorious Fighting Buddha was no different from his original form, extremely powerful. His own Magical Treasure and abilities were all but spent, and his flesh body had been destroyed; a prolonged battle was undoubtedly impossible. How he would survive was still a major question!

"Boom!"

The Victorious Fighting Buddha exploded with power, fiercely striking with the staff causing the time tunnel to begin collapsing, making Lu Ya’s Primordial Spirit tremble violently.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha sneered and said, "Stop scheming, today you are bound to die here!"

Knowing he couldn’t escape the disaster, Lu Ya thought to plunge into the River of Time. Although he might get lost inside, he could still hide away safely.

"Divine Thought into Thunder!" Lu Ya let out a long howl, unleashing the spell, a powerful aura rippling outward.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha, not expecting Lu Ya’s character to actually resort to such a mutually destructive attack, had to retreat, stepping back and swinging the Nirvana Staff, ready for Lu Ya’s final strike.

Lu Ya’s true body had three hundred billion Primordial Spirit Thoughts, and another six hundred billion were in Great Sun Tathagata. This was the disadvantage of Slaying the Three Corpses; if the three corpses weren’t unified, thoughts would be evenly scattered.

Lu Ya’s Primordial Spirit dispersed, transforming into sparkling clear thoughts. Being of the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm, Lu Ya’s Primordial Spirit Thoughts were naturally crystal clear and round, vibrating with a profound aura.

"Boom!"

A Divine Thunder flew over and exploded, struck open by the Victorious Fighting Buddha with his staff, but he discovered that this Divine Thunder was not from thoughts but from the essence of Separation Fire.

Before the Victorious Fighting Buddha could contemplate it further, another three hundred Divine Thunders descended, surrounding him and falling continuously.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha dared not delay, telling himself that Lu Ya’s three hundred billion Primordial Spirit Thoughts were brewing; once they took action, it would be earth-shattering. He swung the Nirvana Staff, clearing away one by one the falling Separation Fire Divine Thunders. The Victorious Fighting Light on his body, even with Divine Thunders exploding around him, could not penetrate the blockade of the Victorious Fighting Light, being annihilated into nothingness.

Just then, Lu Ya’s three hundred billion Primordial Spirit Thoughts moved!

The Victorious Fighting Buddha hurriedly retreated. The self-explosion of a saint’s Primordial Spirit Thoughts was no joke; they were not only tremendously powerful but also vast in number! The four hundred eighty million Blood God Childs of the Nether River were nothing compared to the nine hundred billion thoughts of a saint.

But immediately, the Victorious Fighting Buddha frowned slightly and saw Lu Ya’s Primordial Spirit Thoughts rush into the River of Time, disappearing instantly. They were obscured by the River of Time, completely entering into "the past."

The Victorious Fighting Buddha grew secretly annoyed, Lu Ya had still escaped! He also leaped forward, entering the River of Time himself. The River of Time could not confuse the true essence of the Victorious Fighting Buddha. He entered the world of "the past" to seek out and destroy Lu Ya.

However, even if the Victorious Fighting Buddha in "the current" failed to kill Lu Ya, he could still kill Great Sun Tathagata; then, by connection, Lu Ya would naturally face disaster.

What will happen to Lu Ya’s life, tune in for the next part to find out. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcomed to vote with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
