Chapter 330: Chapter 311: Five Elements Buddha Defeats Bo Yikao
The tale goes that after playing chess against Xuan Ming for a hundred years, Bo Yikao reaped considerable benefits, feeling the Mana within him changing and the operation of the Heavenly Dao Laws unfolding before his eyes.
This game of chess took so long to complete that it is no wonder there are stories told of a woodcutter who saw two old men playing chess in the mountains. He squatted down to watch them play a game, and by the time he came down from the mountain, he found that a full one hundred years had passed, and all his family and friends had aged and died.
If a mortal were to witness the chess match between Xuan Ming and Bo Yikao, they would experience the same, but a person proficient in chess would greatly benefit from it; their Cultivation Level could soar, and their chess skills would improve immensely.
"Very good! I can already feel the operation of the Heavenly Dao Laws. After a few more years of seclusion, I will be able to attempt ascending to the Realm of the Heavenly Dao Saint!" Bo Yikao said slowly.
Meanwhile, Kong Xuan was also in the midst of an attempt to reach the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm, surrounded by swirling Five-Colored Divine Light and the flow of the Five Elements Qi, both extremely majestic.
"Excellent! After facing the tribulation of returning from death this time, I gained a greater understanding of the Heavenly Dao! I am surely to be the ninth Heavenly Dao Saint!" Kong Xuan laughed heartily. He retracted all of the Five-Colored Divine Light and began to ponder the Heavenly Dao Laws, feeling the pull of the Heavenly Dao as his Primordial Spirit was about to ascend.
What a splendid strife it was, with masters of all paths eagerly coming forward to vie for supremacy.
Primordial Golden Immortals from the last convergence all had hopes of ascending to the Heavenly Dao Saint status, and thus, grand battles unfolded on the Heaven and Earth arena.
"Haha, haha! Brother Bo Yikao, it seems inevitable that we must engage in a contest. Who would have thought that this Heavenly Dao karma would fall upon us two." On the same day, Kong Xuan and Bo Yikao each entrusted their Primordial Spirits to the Heavenly Dao Laws, drawing upon the Heavenly Dao karma. A great karma descended; one of them would have to retreat from the Realm of the Heavenly Dao Saint.
"Five Elements Buddha, this battle must take place. Let’s stop at a hit!" Bo Yikao said.
"We’ll stop at a hit." Kong Xuan agreed.
These individuals from the previous convergence all had some sentimental ties to each other, and of course, would not deal lethal blows. It sufficed to just demote their opponent from the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm.
With that, a ferocious battle began, with Kong Xuan summoning the Five-Colored Divine Light and using the Great Reversal of the Five Elements Dharma Gate, powerful in force.
The Heaven and Earth arena was constructed by Wukong, capable of accommodating Heavenly Dao Saints to fight without damaging the Posa Greater World. Moreover, the Posa Greater World was far more stable than the Earth Immortal Realm opened by Pangu. Even the full-power strikes from Heavenly Dao Saints could hardly break it. The arena was situated at the central position between the four great continents of Beiju Luzhou, Xiniu Hezhou, Dongsheng Shenzhou, and Nanzhan Buzhou, standing ninety-five thousand zhang tall, embodying the prestige of supreme authority.
Bo Yikao’s chessboard was raised, and each black and white chess piece fell into place, transforming into raging dragons, legions of Heavenly Generals, currents of Divine Swords, and stretches of galaxies!
"The chessboard is the universe, the chess pieces are the stars within; they evolve all things and destroy everything!" Bo Yikao pointed like a sword and gripped a black piece, fiercely dropping it onto a star position; a raging dragon soared into the sky, lunging at Kong Xuan.
"The origin of all things lies in Creation! After Creation comes the Dao! The Dao is infinite, below it is Reincarnation! After Reincarnation, Yin and Yang merge, and from their union, the Five Elements emerge! Reversing the Five Elements, Heaven and Earth overturn, all things perish, returning to the Origin." Kong Xuan rubbed his hands together, and a giant peacock emerged behind him.
Kong Xuan had already touched upon the edge of the Great Five Elements Technique. This Technique was only second next to the Grand Yin Yang Technique in its formidable power; the union of Yin and Yang gave rise to the Five Elements, and everything in the world could not escape the Five Elements!
"Boom!"
The Five-Colored Divine Light enveloped and spread across the cosmos, sweeping away the black and white chess pieces as if to collect them all.
Bo Yikao controlled the spell and suppressed the chessboard with a loud cry, "Heavenly Origin Slaying Dragon!"
"Crack!"
A white piece landed on the Heavenly Origin point, instantly activating all the white pieces, transforming them into raging dragons that devoured the large black dragon. Immense energy surged from the chessboard, boundless and vast; even the Five-Colored Divine Light was shaken by the blast of air from the white pieces, retreating repeatedly.
"Heavenly Origin Slaying Dragon? This Dao Technique shares a mystery similar to my Heavenly Origin One Finger but still falls short! With my Heavenly Origin One Finger, the desolate universe all centers around this very finger of mine, the focal point. Although Heavenly Origin Slaying Dragon has grasped the essence of Go, it has not yet realized Ninety-Nine Return to Origin, the profound mystery of the universe returning to one!" Xuan Ming saw at a glance that Bo Yikao’s "Heavenly Origin Slaying Dragon" had evolved from his own "Heavenly Origin One Finger."
"Your Heavenly Origin One Finger itself is derived from the Ninety-Nine Return to Origin of my Great Yin Yang Technique. Ninety-Nine Return to Origin encompasses the truths of the universal world, and Go, originating from the universe, holds truths far less profound than the universe itself. He has merely deduced the pinnacle of chess skills and glimpsed the universe’s mysteries, but he cannot fully understand. If he were to see my Grand Yin Yang Technique, his Heavenly Origin Slaying Dragon would surely make even greater progress," Wukong said slowly.
With the Heavenly Origin Slaying Dragon unleashed, its power was tremendous, containing the elegance of the Heavenly Origin One Finger, and Kong Xuan swiftly retreated.
The space within this arena between Heaven and Earth is infinitely vast, sculpted by Wukong into a Mustard Seed within Sumeru.
Kong Xuan immediately withdrew a distance of two to three light-years, clasped his hands to form a spell, and from behind him, the great peacock issued a long cry before spewing out the Qi of the Five Elements. The Five-Colored Divine Light shrouded the surroundings, transforming into divine swords that slashed forth! Then, Kong Xuan suddenly threw a punch. That punch, earth-shattering and astounding, wound around with the Five-Colored Divine Light, reversing its course and generating a destructive force.
"Namo Five Elements Great Reversal! Fighting Sage, Fighting Sage, bless my body! Namo Moksha Immeasurable Fighting Sage!" Kong Xuan pressed his palms together, forming the Buddhist Dharma Seal, and called forth a killing move. A gigantic Buddha arose behind him—none other than the Victorious Fighting Buddha—he distinguished himself alongside Kong Xuan as they launched a combined punch towards Bo Yikao.
Bo Yikao’s face dramatically changed. Chess pieces began to dance in the air, transforming into layers of heaven’s net, blocking Kong Xuan’s mighty punch!
"Namo Immeasurable Power Vajra Finger!"
"Namo Moksha Demon Subduing Arhat Fist!"
Kong Xuan used his left hand to perform the Vajra Finger and his right to execute the Demon Subduing Arhat Fist.
"Namo Demon-Subduing Secret Mantra! Om Mani Padme Hum, the Six True Words, to suppress through the ages!"
Kong Xuan unleashed one killing move after another, determined to take down Bo Yikao in this moment. The secret techniques of the Buddhist Sect were endless and their power immeasurable!
The Victorious Fighting Buddha had thoroughly studied all the secret techniques of the Great Buddhist Sect, and he even created many new ones.
"Namo Victorious Fighting Buddha’s Demon-Subduing Secret Techniques, Kong Xuan has actually learned them all." Wukong watched and couldn’t help but express slight amazement.
Now, the Victorious Fighting Buddha presided over the Western Niu Hezhou, ruling over the Ultimate Bliss World, propagating Buddhist Law, and creating countless secret techniques. Among them were some extremely powerful ones, and Kong Xuan had learned the secret techniques for subduing demons, truly formidable!
Bo Yikao let out a sigh and said, "I concede defeat!"
In that moment, his Primordial Spirit, entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, was struck down by the Heavenly Dao Laws, returning to his body, his complexion turned pale, and he reverted to the peak existence of a Primordial Golden Immortal! In this lifetime, it would be impossible for him to achieve the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm within the Posa Greater World. Only after Wukong enters the Creation World would there be a glimmer of hope for him to become a Heavenly Dao Saint.
Kong Xuan pressed his palms together and said, "Victorious Fighting Buddha! Emperor Ziwei is too modest, and this humble monk has merely managed a slight advantage."
Bo Yikao bowed with folded hands and said, "Five Elements Buddha, with exceptionally high combat strength, Bo Yikao is indeed no match for you!"
During this splendid era, prodigies were as common as ants, found everywhere.
They had all experienced the calamity of the union of the origins and had witnessed the rise and fall, life and death of the union, grasping profound truths which greatly enlightened their minds and smoothed the path of cultivation.
Bo Yikao, after all, was a genius in zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting, engaging in the arts, not the kind of battle maniac or combat genius like Kong Xuan!
Who could possess the Five Elements Spirit Root, and to have an Innate one at that, from the previous union of the origins? Now that he had refined it to purity, it was just like Zhun Ti’s Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree from those years. With a single sweep, it could seize any Magical Treasure. Moreover, he had also grasped the many demon-subduing scriptures passed down by the Victorious Fighting Buddha, making his mana even more profound.
"I am honored, truly honored," said Kong Xuan, his visage dignified and serene.
The cultivators observing around the arena were all filled with exclamations of amazement.
"Kong Xuan, the Five Elements Buddha, is truly formidable. To have the Innate Five Elements Spirit Root is a blessing from the heavens!"
"Indeed, even Emperor Ziwei is no match. However, Emperor Ziwei is not really a combat-type genius... When it comes to fighting, he is ultimately somewhat inferior."
All the cultivators dispersed, and Xuan Ming sighed, feeling sad for Bo Yikao, a man of talent born in an untimely period. If Yu existed, why should Liang be born?
