For the first time facing such a life-and-death crisis, a trace of fear rose in Oliver Sheng’s heart.
As this trace of fear emerged, he thought of being dragged up to the walls of Peace Pass to fend off the Huns.
That was the boundless fear of the weak facing the strong.
In the face of life and death, fear would be infinitely magnified.
This was Oliver Sheng’s first time confronting a power beyond the Martial Saint Realm, even though his strength was already comparable to a half-step Ascending to Immortality.
But without reaching the Martial Emperor or Ascending to Immortality Realm, one could never know how powerful and terrifying that realm truly was.
Oliver Sheng directly allocated points, using Kill Points to enhance his Yang Spirit cultivation. Only by enhancing his Yang Spirit to its limit might he be able to resist.
Even a Martial Saint at Great Perfection would have to kneel before that terrifying ancient Buddha’s shadow.
These ancient religious sects had trump cards left behind thousands of years ago by Martial Emperors and ancient Buddhas.
Sects that stood for thousands of years without falling, having weathered countless storms, possessed extraordinary means.
Thirty thousand Kill Points were instantly consumed, and an immense power surged into his Yang Spirit.
The mana within him continuously refined and grew, breaking through the limits of Great Perfection, advancing towards the ultimate realm.
His Yang Spirit continuously expanded, covered in countless runes, radiating an immortal brilliance.
The ancient Buddha’s shadow, with a palm that suppressed the heavens and earth, seemed to encompass the boundless land.
Even if Oliver Sheng unleashed his extreme speed to flee, it was as if he couldn’t escape the Five Finger Mountain of the Buddha.
That palm enveloped the heavens and earth, time and space, all under one palm, transcending common sense.
“Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful!”
In the Great True Ancient Buddha Temple, countless monks chanted praises to the ancient Buddha.
The world was filled with Buddha light, and the entire snowy mountain was bathed in golden light, sacred and majestic.
Seeing the Buddha’s palm suppressing down to kill Oliver Sheng, Buddha Xuanye’s eyes were full of hatred and the pleasure of revenge.
Oliver Sheng rapidly enhanced his cultivation with Kill Points, breaking through to the limit of the Yang Spirit.
By enhancing his cultivation to the limit of the Yang Spirit, Oliver Sheng’s strength greatly increased, far surpassing the Great Perfection of the Yang Spirit, breaking through the ultimate limit, undergoing an incredible transformation.
His Yang Spirit seemed to have transformed with a trace of immortal aura, breaking through the shackles, stepping into the Ascending to Immortality domain.
Oliver Sheng quickly activated the Liuli Lamp. This Ascending to Immortality Dao Tool, now fully awakened in his hand, shone with brilliant immortal light, illuminating half the sky.
The revived Liuli Lamp, with its terrifying power, spread its immortal light across the sky.
Oliver Sheng held the Liuli Lamp in one hand and formed a thunder technique with the other.
“All-Heaven Divine Thunder!!”
Endless thunder light converged into a thunder seal, and he turned to strike the descending ancient Buddha’s palm with it.
In the sky, the dazzling thunder light, the brilliant immortal light, and the terrifying Buddha light intertwined, with endless divine radiance.
Boom!!
A terrifying black hole was instantly blasted out in the sky, and the void collapsed.
The terrifying power spread like a tide, and the ancient Buddha’s shadow, under the impact of the power, turned into a golden light. The golden sarira, exhausted by the ancient Buddha’s means, also turned to ashes.
Buddha Kuye and others felt as if a giant hammer had struck the back of their heads, their Divine Souls in excruciating pain.
That was the aftermath of a power clash beyond the Buddha’s level.
In the temple below, countless monks and masters bled from their mouths and noses, directly injured, their expressions listless.
Buddha Xuanye and others stared intently at the center of the battle in the sky, where the destructive light continued to wreak havoc.
They needed to see the death of that terrifying demon with their own eyes to feel at ease.
“Cough, cough!!”
Oliver Sheng’s hair was disheveled, his battle robe torn, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and the Dragon Scale Armor on his body shattered, looking utterly battered.
Hearing the cough, Buddha Kuye and others’ expressions changed drastically.
The next moment, a figure walked out from the shattered void, and Buddha Kuye and others’ pupils dilated.
They saw Oliver Sheng holding the Liuli Lamp, walking out in a sorry state.
Even with power comparable to the Ascending to Immortality Realm, activating the Liuli Lamp and using supreme thunder techniques, he was heavily injured, his internal organs shattered.
He walked out of the broken void, his gaze fixed on the several Buddhas above the Great True Ancient Buddha Temple, his expression icy.
At this moment, his killing intent was palpable; he wanted to kill!
“Not good, that demon isn’t dead!!”
“Heavens, even the ancient Buddha’s shadow couldn’t kill the demon?”
“A great disaster, a great disaster indeed!”
The monks in the temple were filled with despair.
Even the shadow of the ancient Buddha couldn’t kill the demon; this was their temple’s strongest means.
“Uncle Master, today we must sacrifice ourselves to slay the demon. Summon another ancient Buddha’s shadow; we must kill this demon, or our Great True Ancient Buddha Temple faces the danger of destruction today,” Buddha Xuanye said heavily.
“Alas, the sariras left by the ancient Buddhas, only two are left.” Buddha Kuye sighed.
Using one more meant one less, one less trump card. Once the trump cards left by the ancestors were exhausted, how long could their Great True Ancient Buddha Temple last?
“Summon the sarira, ask the ancestor to subdue the demon.” A Buddha, with tears in his eyes, shouted.
Hearing the Buddha’s shout, Oliver Sheng was startled, then saw the Buddhas summoning another ancient Buddha’s sarira from the pagoda.
He turned and fled without looking back, transforming into a bolt of lightning, disappearing into the sky.
At this moment, he was heavily injured, with little mana and True Essence left. Killing those Buddhas was still possible, but resisting the ancient Buddha’s shadow again might cost him his life.
Watching Oliver Sheng disappear into the sky, Buddha Kuye and others breathed a sigh of relief.
They weren’t confident that summoning the ancient Buddha’s shadow again could truly withstand Oliver Sheng.
Both sides were almost at their limits.
Seeing Oliver Sheng retreat, Buddha Kuye and others didn’t think it was a good thing.
If Oliver Sheng attacked again, could they withstand it?
“Amitabha, this demon’s retreat is not necessarily a good thing.”
“Alas, how did our Great True Ancient Buddha Temple provoke such a great demon!?”
“Seal the temple, activate the protective formation, we will personally guard it.”
“We have no other choice.”
Apart from the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the temple, the surviving novices, masters, and monks were all cheering.
“Amitabha, our Buddha’s divine might!!”
They had driven away the demon, proclaiming the Buddha’s might, naturally cheering with joy.
“Amitabha, to resist the demon, our temple has suffered heavy losses. This Buddha decides that our Great True Ancient Buddha Temple will seal itself for sixty years. I hope you all cultivate well and improve your strength,” Buddha Kuye’s voice echoed above the temple.
The monks in the temple were stunned for a moment, unable to react.
Seal the temple?
In nearly three thousand years, such a situation had never occurred.
An ancient temple of ten thousand years, forced to seal itself to avoid disaster by Oliver Sheng, was simply unbelievable.
“Uncle Master!!” Xuanye looked at Buddha Kuye, his eyes full of worry.
“After this battle, I fear I only have sixty years left to live, unless I can advance further!” Buddha Kuye looked at Xuanye and others.
His eyes were full of worry, the meaning clear.
The ancient Buddhas, in over three thousand years, had never appeared.
The fleeing Oliver Sheng naturally didn’t know this. Although he fled in a sorry state, he swore in his heart that he would flatten that ancient temple in the future.
Returning to the barracks, Wang Zhan and others were shocked to see Oliver Sheng’s appearance.
“General, what happened to you?”
Wang Zhan had never seen Oliver Sheng in such a sorry state.
In his impression, Oliver Sheng was invincible. How could he return so heavily injured after just one trip?
Oliver Sheng waved his hand and said, “It’s nothing, just had a fight with someone!”
He said it lightly, but to Wang Zhan, it was extremely shocking. He knew how terrifying Oliver Sheng’s strength was. What kind of terrifying enemy could make Oliver Sheng like this?
Wang Zhan opened his mouth, wanting to say something but unable to.
With Oliver Sheng’s nearly invincible strength, if he couldn’t solve the enemy, saying anything was pointless.
“Pass the order, have the army take the spoils and withdraw from the plateau,” Oliver Sheng instructed Wang Zhan.
“Yes, General!!” Wang Zhan obeyed and went to convey Oliver Sheng’s orders.
