This primordial world is not serious!

Chapter 1060 - 503: Irreverent vs Irreverent

"Hmph! Where did this little monk come from, daring to act mysterious here, pretending to be something he's not!"

A voice filled with violent anger echoed like a thunderclap.

They saw a Fire Department's True God, clad in scarlet battle armor, wielding a flame-enveloped Three-pronged Heaven-Supporting Fork, exuding the mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation, descending from the sky on a cloud of fire, blocking Ksitigarbha's path.

"This is a battlefield, not a place for a compassionate monk like you to come. Leave quickly, or don't blame this Star Lord's fork for being ruthless!" Fire Virtue Star Lord shouted sternly.

Ksitigarbha heard this and did not get angry,

He merely slowly raised his head, his clear eyes reflecting the raging Red Lotus Karmic Fire behind Fire Virtue Star Lord, composed of countless vengeful spirits' karma.

"Amitabha." Ksitigarbha clasped his hands together, giving a slight nod to Fire Virtue Star Lord, his voice gentle yet clearly resonating in all directions.

"This humble monk observes that the Star Lord is entwined with karma, with heavy killing karma, showing signs of falling into the Demon Path. If you remain obstinate, you will surely bring destruction upon yourself, with no chance of redemption."

"Nonsense!" Fire Virtue Star Lord erupted in rage, hating more than anything else when others pointed out his karma with the Demon Clan.

"I must see if your Buddhist Law is stronger or if my Southern Ming Lihuo prevails!"

Before he finished speaking, he thrust his Three-pronged Heaven-Supporting Fork forward, and a pillar of Southern Ming Lihuo, thick as a barrel and capable of instantly melting refined gold, shot towards Ksitigarbha with the momentum to burn everything.

However, in the face of this strike that could incinerate mountains and boil seas, Ksitigarbha remained as calm as an ancient well.

He did not even use the Precepts Blade in his hand, merely extending his right hand, as white as jade and out of place on this cruel battlefield.

"Childish one, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot."

Accompanied by a soft sigh filled with infinite compassion and Zen principles, an enormous golden "卍" Buddha Seal, seemingly capable of overshadowing the sky, slowly emerged from his palm.

As the Buddha Seal rotated, it displayed countless scenes of the Buddha Country Pure Land, with the illusions of Three Thousand Bodhisattvas and Eight Hundred Arhats chanting in unison, and the grand Buddhist sound instantly overpowered the sounds of battle on the battlefield.

"Boom!!!"

The golden Buddha Seal and the crimson fire pillar collided fiercely mid-air.

There was neither an earth-shattering explosion nor a world-destroying shock wave.

The domineering Southern Ming Lihuo, upon touching the Buddha Seal, seemed to meet its nemesis. All the laws of violence, destruction, and burning it carried were forcibly purified and dissolved by the grand Buddhist law.

Eventually, the entire fire pillar transformed into the purest Fire Element Essence Qi, dissipating into the world.

"What?!" Fire Virtue Star Lord was shocked and dismayed, unable to fathom why his proud Innate Divine Ability would fail so thoroughly.

Just then, as his mind faltered, Ksitigarbha's figure, like a ghost, appeared before him without warning.

"Star Lord, your killing karma, the humble monk will sever it for you."

As these words sounded, a seemingly ordinary flash of the Precepts Blade appeared and vanished in Ksitigarbha's hand.

This blade did not cut at Fire Virtue Star Lord's physical body or his Primordial Spirit but directly severed the illusory yet real line of karma connecting him with the world.

"Ah!!!"

Fire Virtue Star Lord let out a piercing scream, feeling as though something crucial from his soul had been forcibly stripped away.

His scarlet battle armor instantly dimmed, and his Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation plummeted like floodwaters breaching a dam, falling swiftly to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

This was not the severing of cultivation but rather the infinite killing karma that sustained his formidable strength, which Ksitigarbha completely "enlightened" with Supreme Buddhism.

"Demon monk! What… what have you done to me?!" Fire Virtue Star Lord, shocked and furious, felt the emptiness of his power inside, and for the first time, fear flickered in his eyes.

Ksitigarbha withdrew the Precepts Blade, his expression still compassionate.

"The humble monk merely severed the karmic obstacles for the Star Lord. This is merit, how can it be called harm?"

"Star Lord might as well retreat for now and consolidate your cultivation properly."

Though angry and upset, Fire Virtue Star Lord knew he was no match for this strange monk and could only retreat reluctantly, transforming into a dim flame, slinking back to the rear of the Xuanyuan Army.

This scene was naturally witnessed by the surrounding Independent Practitioner Gods.

"What a formidable monk! To possess such a mysterious Enlightenment Divine Power!"

"Fire Virtue Daoist was defeated in just one move! This person is no ordinary Da Luo!"

"Fellow Daoists, this monk's methods are too mysterious, posing a potential threat to our army. It might be best to join forces and capture him first!"

Instantly, several powerful auras locked onto Ksitigarbha simultaneously.

A Water Department Heavenly God wielding a horsetail whisk, clad in a blue Taoist robe with an immortal aura; a Thunder Department God General, tall and sturdy, holding a pair of Drumming Golden Hammers; and a Wind Immortal, ethereal and bearing a green long sword, all converged on Ksitigarbha from three directions.
