Chapter 497: Direct Hit to Great Thunder Sound
“Since you don’t like my face, I’ll change it then.”
Zhou Tong pressed his palm against his face and transformed it once again.
Returning to Truth Guidance Buddha stared unblinkingly, even holding his breath, as he saw a face he could never have imagined before.
The young master of the Li Family, now named Zhou Tong!
He froze for a moment, but then an electrifying sensation surged through him, as if he had woken up abruptly from a dream.
“It’s you…”
“Surprised? Unexpected? Didn’t think it would be me!”
Zhou Tong grinned, stepping out and crossing the void, closing the distance to within three zhang.
“Ah!!”
Returning to Truth Guidance Buddha couldn’t help but scream, frantically retreating, his body trembling like a quail in winter.
It was rumored that this person single-handedly suppressed Pure Joy Buddha. When the news reached Great Thunder Sound Temple, he had scoffed at it, thinking it was impossible.
But at this moment, he finally began to believe.
“Wait a moment…”
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, raising a question.
“Earlier in Profound Sky Hall, you claimed your strength wasn’t at the Sage level, and that the reason you were so aggressive was solely because you were borrowing the power of the strong. Is that true?”
“Hahaha…”
Zhou Tong burst into laughter, looking at the other party with eyes full of pity.
“Should I call you foolish, or should I say you’re adorably naive?”
Hearing this, Returning to Truth Guidance Buddha felt a chill down his spine.
At that moment, he understood everything!
Where was there any borrowing of strength? Where were any special methods? All of this was the true power of this young man!
Those rumors were just smoke screens he had put out to lure the unaware to their doom.
If his enemies truly viewed him as an ordinary Semi-Sage and attempted to kill him, they would find themselves dead with ease.
What was even more terrifying was that those geniuses about to participate in the Hundred Sects Battle also believed those rumors.
When the time came, they would despair upon discovering their opponent was a terrifying being capable of easily suppressing Advanced Sages!
This was no joke!
“No, I can’t die here no matter what. I must get this news back!”
Returning to Truth Guidance Buddha cried out in his heart, igniting a spark of hope for survival.
“I have no grievances with you; why do you want to attack me?”
In a last-ditch effort before the end, he attempted to negotiate.
“No grievances?”
Zhou Tong couldn’t hold back his laughter, but then a stunning killing intent erupted from his eyes.
“It seems you don’t understand me. Let me introduce myself again: I’m the son of Li Cheng, the junior brother of the Yin-Yang Body, and the father of the Supreme Son!!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the other party appeared struck by lightning, frozen in the void, while immense turmoil surged in his heart.
Recalling his previous words, Returning to Truth Guidance Buddha finally understood just how big of a trap he had stepped into!
“Do you know why I’m telling you all this?” Zhou Tong continued to ask.
The other shook his head, expression numb.
“Because you’re about to die!”
“Boom!!!”
At this moment, Zhou Tong revealed his true power, entering a state of Three Elements Unification. A terrifying pressure rippled through the air, each wave as heavy as a mountain, seemingly about to shatter the void!
Returning to Truth Guidance Buddha was horrified; this aura was not a joke. Just facing it, all his courage was worn away, completely suppressing him!
“All heavens and Buddhas, lend me your karmic power, give me your great strength, Nirvana divine fire!”
In the next moment, a lotus platform rose beneath him, merging him with the lotus, and his aura suddenly soared.
However, that was not the end. Behind him, figures of all Buddhas appeared, and a sea of Buddhas’ Nirvana engulfed him, fire illuminating the heavens, merging into his body.
It was clear he had unleashed the supreme secret method of Great Thunder Sound Temple to escape. Once activated, it could double his combat power, but the price was also enormous.
Having endured such Nirvana divine fire, it was believed that after using this secret method, Returning to Truth Guidance Buddha would face a great tribulation.
But he would have no opportunity, for Zhou Tong’s heart was too kind to allow him to experience such suffering.
“Separation!”
As the other’s aura climbed to its peak, about to touch the threshold of Sage Ninth Layer, Zhou Tong pointed a finger forward.
In an instant, the Recasting Authority showcased its might, forcibly extracting a ball of light from within the other, stripping the secret method of its effect!
“Poof!”
Returning to Truth Guidance Buddha spat blood, his aura dropping sharply, even lower than before, collapsing in the void.
“Is the performance over now?”
Zhou Tong stepped forward, grabbing the other’s neck and easily lifting him up.
“Say goodbye to this world!”
He said coldly, beginning to tighten his grip to directly choke the other to death.
“Hahaha… I won’t let you have it easy. Blame yourself for being so talkative and revealing so many secrets. Before I die, I want everyone to know your truth!”
With those words, the other gambled everything, unleashing an incredibly intense mental wave, wrapping vital information to send it out.
But before long, those ripples of mental power twisted in the air and then vanished.
“How is that possible?!”
“You thought I would be careless enough to let you send a message in front of me?”
Zhou Tong mocked.
But before his words fell, a hint of pride appeared on the other’s face.
“You underestimated me. You probably don’t know that Great Thunder Sound Temple has a special method for refining the spirit; once activated, it can elevate one’s mental strength to the Sage Peak. Even if you were prepared, you absolutely cannot stop me!”
Immediately, a brilliant light radiated from his forehead.
“Experience this; I am now the king of mental power!”
“Boring stuff!”
Zhou Tong scoffed, losing patience entirely as a mental shock directly slammed past, utterly shattering the other’s spirit!
“Ah ah ah!!!!”
Returning to Truth Guidance Buddha let out a piercing scream, feeling at that moment as if his mind might explode!
What had he just experienced?
He felt a mental force surpassing heaven and earth charging towards him, and in its presence, he was like a speck of dust, not even qualified to be crushed!
“You… your spirit…”
“Guess why I dared to cast the Soul Search Technique on you!”
Zhou Tong pressed another palm against the other’s crown, “Because it’s no difficulty for me!”
The soul search began!
Returning to Truth Guidance Buddha’s body stiffened like a dried fish, unable to make a sound. This was the ultimate pain, even causing him to lose control of his body, forced to be at the mercy of another.
Moments later, Zhou Tong shook his palm, and a wisp of dust was added to the world.
“Great Thunder Sound Temple, Great Thunder Sound Temple!”
Her expression was cold as she repeated the name over and over, then immediately used the Sealing Divine Technique to its utmost, her Imperial Level spirit condensing into a bundle, piercing towards the West.
In an instant, the mental power crossed hundreds of thousands of miles, reaching a towering temple.
Here, clouds of glory filled the sky, a divine light pervaded, exuding an awe-inspiring sacred atmosphere.
Above the temple, four golden characters were inscribed, proclaiming: Great Thunder Sound Temple.
These characters were extraordinary, containing immensely deep power of belief, also serving as a powerful treasure.
At that moment, countless believers knelt before it, praying devoutly, causing those characters to shine even brighter.
“Our Buddha is eternal, immortal through the ages!”
Countless Buddhists shouted, solidifying their faith even more.
“Crack!!”
But just then, a crisp sound of shattering rang out as several cracks appeared on the four large characters!
