The Ancient Immortal Emperor immediately retreated to the side. Master Shikong's tattered robes fluttered without wind as he raised his sleeves!
A powerful spiritual pressure exploded, shattering the surrounding space! The sky darkened, instantly becoming a black hole region. As a golden Buddha descended from behind him, it illuminated the land.
Ming Zhitian's gaze attempted to send him into the Illusionary Realm! But it was blocked by the golden Buddha, unable to exert its power.
Ming Zhitian instantly transformed into the puppet of the Saintly Soul Celestial God! He then drew his bow and shot three black-purple divine flame arrows!
Master Shikong raised his hand, and the golden Buddha's palm struck fiercely!
The two collided, erupting into fragments of the black hole!.........
Ming Zhitian instantly transformed into two black-purple divine flame swords, crossing them and unleashing a god-slaying strike!
Master Shikong raised his hand and struck out with the golden Buddha's palm!
Neither of them intended to dodge, seeing whose puppet body was more resilient!
The dual swords landed on the golden Buddha! And Ming Zhitian's Saintly Soul Celestial God puppet also took a palm strike!
Master Shikong's golden Buddha shattered! While Ming Zhitian's Saintly Soul Celestial God puppet only showed slight cracks, clearly indicating Ming Zhitian had the upper hand!
The moment Master Shikong's defense was breached, Ming Zhitian instantly used the Eye of Illusion on him!
He was instantly pulled into the Illusionary Realm!
Looking at the dazzling array of floating minds, Master Shikong stepped forward barefoot, reaching out to touch them lightly, which instantly transformed into demonic hearts!
He was shocked, instinctively taking a step back: "No... Impossible? This humble monk has never harmed a living being in his life, how can I have a demonic heart?"
Ming Zhitian's voice drifted from the sky: "Truly never harmed a single one?"
Every human, from the moment they are born, carries emotions. No one is an exception.
The atmosphere around them fostered loneliness. As the suffocating feeling grew heavier, Master Shikong's defenses slowly crumbled, his heart beating faster.
Suddenly, a woman appeared. It was a woman he knew, a dead woman. It was the scene of their meeting when they were young, replaying in his mind!
Master Shikong maintained his composure. He sat cross-legged, facing the suffocating sensation, and began to meditate with his eyes closed: "Yi Hai Wu Fo, Yi Hai Wu Fo... All of this is an illusion, fake!"
Ming Zhitian continued to fan the flames: "Your mind is already in chaos, why deceive yourself?"
"No!!........."
Sweat poured out, soaking Master Shikong's undergarments!
He emerged from the Illusionary Realm, his eyes filled with a strange light.
All the celestial spiritual power on his body had vanished.........
"Master!" The Ancient Immortal Emperor went to support his dejected body.
"Heh...!" Master Shikong clasped his palms together and sighed: "Yi Hai Wu Fo... Shen Dao Wu Liang... This humble monk cannot escape the mortal world after all. Fine, fine, I shall not be a monk anymore!"
The Ancient Immortal Emperor looked worried: "Master... What exactly happened?"
Master Shikong sighed, looking at Ming Zhitian: "I never expected a mere brat from the past to have grown to such a level. Your mastery of illusion, I suspect, can only be verified by the Great Divine Lord."
The Ancient Immortal Emperor was confused: "Master, how... how can you address the Buddha Venerable Ancestor as the Great Divine Lord?"
Master Shikong waved his hand: "This humble monk's worldly affairs are unresolved, I am not worthy to discuss Buddhism calmly."
He then curiously asked Ming Zhitian: "Donor Ming, you still have some trump cards hidden, don't you?"
Ming Zhitian smiled faintly: "Yes."
"Yi Hai Wu Fo..." Master Shikong flicked his sleeve and left: "The Buddha Venerable is proficient in the Great Buddha's Way and the Divine Path's destiny. You must fend for yourself."
"Master, wait for me!" The Ancient Immortal Emperor followed him.
"Why are you following?"
.........
...
Ming Zhitian stepped onto Diamond Seven Blue Dragons and Starry Dragon, entering the Nine Cloud Divine Heaven.
He looked around: "How much longer do you plan to watch? Is it interesting?"
"Heh heh." Suddenly, a clear voice echoed from the highest clouds.
A man in white emerged, appearing ordinary, yet emanating boundless darkness.
