In the void, a brilliant golden light suddenly appeared.
Then, beams of golden light penetrated through the dark clouds, illuminating all the star card masters in the viewing gallery.
"Namo Aryadeva... Bhūtiloka... Śaloka..."
The sound of Buddha's voice filled the air, ethereal and spiritual, and in that instant, everyone felt as though their body and mind had been purified.
The golden light shone brightly, with the sound of the Buddha's voice lingering in the air.
Then, one by one, golden Buddha statues draped in monk robes slowly rose from the radiant golden light.
The myriad forms of the Buddha images in the sky were lifelike and exuded a divine light, radiating a tranquil and holy brilliance.
At this moment, the gaze of all the Buddha images converged upward, their eyes exuding utmost devotion.
However, where their gaze landed, there was nothing special, just empty space.
Watching this scene, not only the spectators, but the entire northern federation, was in an uproar!
"My goodness, what... what are those?!"
"Why do I feel the urge to kneel and worship when I look at them?!"
"Oh my... are those the spirits he summoned?"
"This is too scary, I thought this star card was a joker, but it turns out he's the ultimate boss!"
All were stunned and in disbelief!
The spectators and star card practitioners watching the match, as well as those in other competition zones, stopped their battles and instinctively looked up at the sky!
In the void, countless Buddhas stood as if it were a miracle...
This... was simply unbelievable!
Fusan and Zhousheng, on the competition field, suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
In the next moment, the Buddha's light radiated, and dozens of golden palm prints fell like shooting stars through the clouds.
"Ten-Thousand- Buddhas Attending."
It was like a relentless downpour of pear blossoms.
The ancient temple's purple bamboo Zen bell rang, and the demon-suppressing rivers and lakes journeyed.
Buddha’s voice echoed with lofty aspiration, the world's martial arts originating from Shaolin!
Fusan's pupils suddenly contracted because he saw the golden palm prints falling like meteorites, smashing towards himself!
Watching the formidable attack, Fusan's face darkened, and his heart trembled wildly.
Qin Wang had placed him in the Tianyuan Hall to seize the top position. If he lost in the Hall Trial, he would have no face to remain in the Tianyuan Hall in the future.
Therefore, he dare not be careless at this moment!
"Playing tricks, I don't believe you can do anything fancy!"
With a thought, Fusan's celestial tortoise beast gave a low growl.
Suddenly, a brilliant light burst from the celestial tortoise beast's massive body, intertwining and forming a shell-like light visible to the naked eye.
The overlapping light, extremely mystical, then formed a shield about a dozen yards in size, enveloping all the star cards within.
The light shield condensed from the source energy was like a real ancient tortoise shell, exuding an indestructible force.
"This is the celestial tortoise beast's strongest defense skill, Tortoiseshell of the Celestial Tortoise?!"
At the spectator's stand, bursts of exclamation erupted as they watched the light shield. It was unprecedented for Fusan to use this skill!
Fusan looked at the myriad golden Buddhas in the void and grinned grimly, "Let me see whether you're just playing tricks or actually have some ability!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sky was filled with golden palm prints hurtling down, and amidst countless astonished gazes, they fiercely struck the Tortoiseshell of the Celestial Tortoise.
Bang! Bang!
The palm prints collided with the shell and were then deflected, transforming into rampaging golden source energy.
Continuous explosions rang out.
All the spectators held their breath, their eyes fixed on the scene. Could the overwhelming palm prints shatter the Celestial Tortoise’s shell?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The palm prints relentlessly struck the shell but were bounced off one by one.
Fusan stood beneath the shell, indifferently looking at the palm prints in the sky, and suddenly felt like laughing.
These palm prints seemed fierce, but so far, they had not caused substantial damage to the Tortoiseshell.
Was his shell too strong or were the palm prints too weak?
"Playing all these tricks, really just a charlatan," Zhousheng's eyes revealed a touch of mockery.
Su Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly unsurprised. The Celestial Tortoise beast was Fusan's strongest defense card, and breaking through it would not be easy.
Tang Seng's expression remained unchanged, his warm eyes slightly closed, chanting devoutly.
"May the Buddha bless us."
Xiao Xuan looked up, devoutly gazing at the myriad of golden Buddha statues in the void, silently praying in his heart.
At present, apart from trusting Tang Seng, there was no other way.
Whether it was success or failure, it would be clear after a try.
Crack.
Just at this moment, a faint cracking sound quietly sounded from the carapace of the heavenly turtle.
A crack appeared, and then that crack spread out like a spider web in all directions.
Boom boom boom!
Xuanzang's handprint changed, and suddenly the Buddha light in the sky became more and more intense, and more and more golden Buddha imprints sprayed down, crashing towards the carapace of the heavenly turtle.
Fusang's expression changed slightly. Did so many golden imprints not require the consumption of source energy?!
Under the increasingly fierce onslaught, the turtle-shell-like barrier trembled violently.
"Oh my god, the turtle-shell light barrier can't hold on!"
Fusang and Zhousheng exchanged glances, each urging their source energy desperately, continuously repairing and trying to resist with this.
Boom!
In the next moment, amidst the exclamation from all around, the turtle-shell light barrier finally could not withstand the fierce attacks coming one after another, and suddenly burst open!
After the turtle-shell light barrier was broken, the raging golden imprints, with a destructive aura, whistled out directly towards all the star cards in the Fusang region.
The entire arena was affected at this moment, the earth was torn apart, and it was a mess.
All the star cards frantically fled, throwing out various life-saving skills.
They tried to deal with Tang Seng, the instigator, but whenever they got near Tang Seng, there was an invisible force that pushed them away forcefully.
So now they could only take a beating.
The eyes of the Asura were red, as the ace star card ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking, had it ever suffered such humiliation?
Tang Seng sat cross-legged, his expression indifferent, his eyes closed, still chanting.
Many star cardstructors looked at each other, their expressions complex. Who could have thought that all the top star cards on the Heavenly Ranking were now being bombarded on the arena by Tang Seng alone...
The star cardstructors looked at Xiao Xuan behind Tang Seng, with a look of seriousness and wariness in their eyes.
Before this, they still thought that Xiao Xuan was just a newcomer, and today's participation in the Hall Test was also to gain some experience.
Although he had defeated Han Feng and killed Zhou Sheng earlier, when Fusang killed three of his star cards in a row, everyone felt that this dark horse had reached the end of the road.
However, who would have thought that Xiao Xuan's last star card would now be single-handedly forcing Fusang and Zhousheng to the ground and rubbing their faces in the arena...
Bang!
In a deep pit, the Asura struck by the Buddha imprint stood up, covered in blood.
Its eyes were bloodshot, filled with indescribable anger.
As the Asura, it had come to such a sorry state today.
In the past, the King of Qin had replicated a hundred Asuras and let them fight each other, and this Asura had been the one who had laughed last.
For this reason, the King of Qin gave it to Fusang, and it did not disappoint, expanding Fusang's territory and killing its way to the top of the Heavenly Ranking.
However, today it was being beaten like a dog without a home...
"Do you think that you can win against me like this?!"
The Asura's eyes were bloodshot, with bloodshot eyes. It flashed and appeared in front of the celestial turtle, opening its mouth and actually swallowing the celestial turtle alive!
After swallowing the celestial turtle, it flapped its wings and arrived in front of another star card of Fusang, continuing to devour...
In just a few breaths of time, the Asura had devoured all the other four star cards.
It smirked, its face extremely ferocious, and said coldly, "Asura Transformation!"
Boom!
As the Asura's voice fell, its body continued to expand, and in just a few breaths of time, it swelled to tens of meters.
Blood-red blood thorns pierced out from its body, dripping with blood, revealing a sharp edge.
"Roar!"
The Asura roared into the sky, an extremely violent source energy turbulence spread madly from its body.
At this moment, Fusang's trump card was completely revealed.
The Asura stood in mid-air, its blood-red wings spreading out, its face like a dragon, like an Asura, extremely ugly.
The golden Buddha imprints smashed onto it, seeming to have no effect, and it didn't even dodge.
Fusang looked at Xiao Xuan, smirked, and said, "Xiao Xuan, do you really think that you can turn the tide with just one star card?!"
"Now, do you still have any trump cards left? I'm afraid you not only have no more trump cards, but you also don't have much source energy left!" Xiao Xuan's face was deathly pale, just as Fusang had expected, he really didn't have enough source energy.
"My strength is not enough..."
At this moment, the voice of Tang Seng quietly sounded in his mind.
A star card master is the energy tank of a star card. When the source energy within the star card is insufficient, it needs to be continuously input and supplied by the star card master.
And now, after such an intense bombardment, Tang Seng's strength was already insufficient.
However, the power within Xiao Xuan was also insufficient...
Xiao Xuan gave a bitter smile, even if he had strength, what would it matter?
At present, the blood Asura devoured its own kind, undergoing transformation, wild and relentless bombardment, it had already posed no threat to it...
However, at the next moment, Xiao Xuan suddenly realized that Tang Seng said his strength was insufficient, but did not say he couldn't continue to fight.
Furthermore, Tang Seng's awakening skill is to summon the Great Sun Tathagata, and now, the sky was filled with void, only seeing thousands of Buddhas, but not the Tathagata...
This indicates that the gathering of the Buddhas is only a prelude, and summoning the Tathagata is the true significance of Xuanzang's awakening...
The Great Sun Tathagata is Tang Seng's ultimate skill, only usable once.
Similarly, in order to condense the power of this ultimate skill, the Tang Seng who should have been a mage has degraded into a bum who can't even assist properly.
Under such stringent conditions, the power of the Great Sun Tathagata should be very strong, right?
Perhaps, there was a slight possibility that it could contend with this blood Asura...
But, the consecutive battles had nearly drained the source energy in his body, leaving him with no excess power to summon the Tathagata.
Xiao Xuan lightly pursed his lips, a hint of unwillingness flashed by. Did he have to give up like this?
However, just at this moment, a dreadful thought gradually arose in his mind...
As soon as this thought appeared, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but shudder, and no matter how he tried to suppress it, that thought still lingered in his mind...
Like being entangled by a demon, unable to shake it off.
Under such ineffective dispelling, Xiao Xuan unconsciously became more and more immersed in this thought.
Although the cost was high, if he didn't try, he might regret it one day.
The so-called hero is someone who takes action to achieve what others can only talk about.
Really, he wanted to be a hero again.
Taking a deep breath, calming his surging emotions, Xiao Xuan sat cross-legged, looking down at his mind.
"Go ahead and summon the Tathagata. As for the source energy, I will figure it out," Xiao Xuan said.
When Xuanzang heard this, he was momentarily stunned, but did not ask further questions. He quickly formed hand seals, preparing to summon the Great Sun Tathagata.
Boom!
At the instant the skill was activated, a huge suction force emerged and surged out from Xuanzang's body.
Xiao Xuan coughed lightly, the meager source energy within his body was instantaneously drained.
However, this was still far from enough.
The massive suction force relentlessly drew on Xiao Xuan's body, as if it wanted to extract every bit of strength from every cell.
His muscles continued to shrink, his once rosy face gradually becoming gaunt, as if being drained into a mummy.
"My god, what is he doing?!"
"Is he actually using the skill when the source energy is insufficient?!"
"Is he insane? If this leaves any aftereffects, it will be disastrous in the future!"
"This is simply outrageous!" Yan Wangqing's expression abruptly changed. She stood up hastily and said, "Make him forcefully withdraw and forfeit the match!"
"Yan General's actions seem to be somewhat against the rules, don't they?" King Qin's eyes flickered as he spoke lightly.
Yan Wangqing's phoenix eyes turned cold, staring at him with a frigid gaze, "In the Star Nebula Legion, I am the rule!"
Upon hearing this, the other palace masters were all taken aback. Yan Wangqing, who was usually calm, why was she so impulsive and uttered such words now?
Liuyanyi encouraged, "General Yan, I don't think he is an impulsive person. Perhaps he has his reasons for doing so?"
Qi Jin nodded slightly, saying, "I suggest we observe for now. If it's absolutely necessary, we can take action later."
Under the persuasion of the several palace masters, Yan Wangqing gradually calmed down, realizing that she had lost control of her emotions just now.
She didn't sit back down but stood upright, staring fixedly at the screen.
The source energy in her palm entwined, ready to strike at any moment.
The sudden turn of events also left Fusang and the others slightly bewildered.
"Using a skill forcibly... Are you out of your mind?!" Fusang's eyes flickered with unease. This guy was too ruthless, even to himself!
He had been thinking about how to approach Tang Seng as he couldn't get near, but now, it seemed that he needn't even make a move with the Blood Asura, Xiao Xuan had defeated himself!
Puff!
A mouthful of blood was spat out, a buzzing erupted in Xiao Xuan's mind, and a strong sense of weakness rolled over him like waves.
The pain within his body was enough to make any star card master collapse.
At this moment, Xiao Xuan was on the brink of death. However, he still gritted his teeth and stubbornly allowed the enormous suction to drain the last ounce of his source energy within his body…
Yet, efforts may not necessarily lead to success.
Trembling, Xiao Xuan lifted his head, even though he was hanging by a thread, there was no sign of the arrival of the Buddha.
"It seems I was wishful thinking…"
Xiao Xuan smiled wryly, his vision blurred with darkness as his eyelids uncontrollably drooped…
Boom!
Just then, in the quiet sky, a sudden thunderclap resonated, and billowing dark clouds dispersed in waves to each side.
The sky itself seemed to tremble slightly, as if a terrifying entity was about to descend.
Numerous shocked gazes turned towards it.
The next moment.
The dark clouds dissipated, revealing a radiant Buddha light.
In that sea of clouds, a towering golden Buddha slowly descended into the world…
