Chen Yuns' resolute killing intent permeated the heavens and earth, almost condensing into a robust aura.
Even ordinary individuals could feel the intensity of Chen Yuns' anger and his resolve to kill Xie Lushan from his tone and the overwhelming killing aura emanating from him.
Li Chunfeng couldn't help but feel excited. Finally, someone could subdue the lawless and troublesome Xie Lushan!
Du Guangting and the other Daoist practitioners felt a deep reverence.
The Chen Yun in their eyes had no trace of ferocity; there was only a sense of might and aura!
The Buddhist monks, including Fan Zhen, Fan Hai, and the Bagua Baba, showed a compassionate expression and called for Amitabha Buddha on the other side. It seemed like they were praising Chen Yun for using great powers to right the wrongs of the world!
As for the cultivators in Dengzhou, they had already cheered wildly by now.
"Mr. Chen, kill it!"
"Mr. Chen, kill it!"
A chorus of outrage erupted from the group of cultivators from Dengzhou, each expressing their anger in unison.
Each and every elder and close relative from their respective temples, monasteries, and sects in Dengzhou had all been defeated and obliterated by the Asura and countless demons in the past. Now, seeing Chen Yun demonstrate his power and on the brink of subduing the Asura, they were naturally excited and indignant. They eagerly hoped to witness the scene where Chen Yun would utterly defeat the Asura, avenging their elders and relatives!
Not only were the cultivators from Dengzhou loudly protesting and shouting in anger.
The millions of ordinary people who had already become numb and were waiting for death, now seeing Chen Yun displaying his divine might, no longer had any trace of numbness in their eyes, regaining hope. Almost everyone on their faces showed an eagerness for revenge. Too many of their relatives and friends had died at the hands of the Asura, causing immense grief. Seeing someone who could avenge them, they naturally became as indignant as those from Dengzhou.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Hundreds of thousands of people shouted "Kill."
That vast accumulation of willpower condensed together and gathered into Chen Yun's divine body as a magical being.
Chen Yun, whose power had surged due to the boost from the life-saving qi, suddenly felt an even stronger force bolstering him.
This force was unlike any he had encountered before; it was more like a surge of fate or fortune.
In an instant, Chen Yun felt like he was invincible in the world.
It seemed as if, with his desire, he could even poke a hole in the heavens!
The will of the people is the will of heaven.
Where the people's hearts are directed, the path of victory will be chosen; the Great Dao can be accomplished!
Chen Yun first felt the power of the people's hearts united into one force.
For the first time, he felt as if he had found his own path.
Suddenly, he vividly remembered the saying from the Song Dynasty Zhang Zai: "To establish the heart of the earth and heaven, to establish the life and death of the people, to inherit the extinct learning of the sages, to create a lasting peace for ten thousand generations!"
The heavens and earth have no hearts, but humans do. The heart of humans is what allows them to possess the benevolent heart of a sage, who loves all living beings, and the heart of a saint, which is vast and impartial.
Through self-cultivation and education, if one can ultimately achieve a state where, regardless of how long or short a person's life span is, they can maintain their complete moral nature, then this individual can be said to have settled their life and established their mission.
Inherit the extinct learning of the sages and create a lasting peace for ten thousand generations.
Isn't this the core ideology of my own path in life?
In this moment, Chen Yun finally found his own path!
He felt an abrupt uplift in his mental state, and the power within him was also continuously surging.
It seemed as if the power of heaven and earth was completely bestowed upon him in that instant.
He was one with the heavens and earth, and the heavens and earth were one with him.
I can control everything!
Chen Yun's eyes flashed with a fierce glint, his gaze filled with unparalleled malevolence as he stared at the terrified Asura, "Beast, die!"
With those words, Chen Yun raised his enormous hand, enveloped in lightning and fire, and struck down at the Asura with a forceful blow!
Bang!
A thunderous boom resounded, shaking the heavens and earth with the movement of his hand.
That thunderous, fiery palm, like the Buddha Shakyamuni subduing the Monkey King, as it moved forward, everyone felt a flash of light before their eyes.
Suddenly, everyone felt a vast force surging through the world, and everything around them seemed to become blurry!
Fragmented interdimensional space.
Endless seas with towering waves.
Wasteland ravaged by erosion.
and Asura, all beings, and all things.
In this moment, everything turned yellow.
The entire world was shaking!
As if... opening heaven and earth!
Although Chen Yun's palm was striking at the Asura, the overwhelming sense of death it conveyed was so terrifying that everyone felt as if they were being suffocated!
This aura of death felt like a tangible force.
The few remaining demon commanders and generals who were still standing, when struck by the light of lightning, instantly disappeared into thin air!
The fragmented interdimensional space was also obliterated in a flash by the lightning and fire light.
Although Chen Yun's thunderous, fiery palm had not yet reached the Asura in front of him, the latter felt as if he was inevitable, as if he had been sealed by the boundless powers of heaven and earth. He felt numb in his hands and feet.
"If I am hit by his palm, I will surely be destroyed body and soul!"
The Asura knew that it was time for a desperate fight!
The thunderous, fiery palm of Chen Yun was getting closer and closer.
The Asura, who didn't want to quietly accept death, let out a shrill howl like a wolf, filled with rage. "Do you want me to die? You are still far from it!" he retorted.
With those words, the Asura's entire body burst into intense Buddha rays.
In the next moment, a chorus of Buddhist chanting began to rise.
"It was said by the World Honored One: 'I have heard that there is a king of the Asura who holds the world, whose power is boundless and fearless…'"
Boom!
The heavens and earth shook unprovoked.
A massive crack suddenly appeared in the clouds.
A ray of Buddha's light seemed to illuminate from another world, shining into this realm.
The beam of Buddha's light hit him, and quickly gathered onto the Asura's body.
Suddenly, the Asura, who was over thousands of feet tall, expanded its body many times over. It transformed into a creature with three heads and six arms, with a hideous expression and a single vertical eye at the center of its forehead.
It emerged like a grey god of evil from the Buddha's rays, towering over twenty or thirty thousand feet, much taller than Chen Yun after using the "Law of Heaven and Earth" technique.
All of this happened in an instant.
The spectators who were watching the battle didn't have time to react when they saw a grey demonic god rising from above.
Du Guangting was greatly startled, "The Asura can actually become stronger?"
Li Chunfeng also drew in a breath of cold air, "Is this the might of an Asura? Could Chen Daoan possibly match it?"
The remaining cultivators, including Fan Zhen, Fan Hai, and Bagua Baba, did not utter a word aloud. However, the deep concern reflected in their eyes made it clear that they were worried about Chen Yun's safety.
Even these cultivators are so worried.
And certainly not the millions of ordinary people.
The ordinary people were all worried.
Some were so tense that they clutched their fists so tightly that their nails pierced into their flesh, yet they were unable to feel the pain!
Cloud Brother and Li Nian were also like this.
Almost anyone who witnessed this grand battle was worrying about Chen Yun's fate.
Despite everyone's worry and tension, the enormous hand of lightning and fire did not slow down. It continued, without hesitation, carrying the power of heaven and earth, as it smashed towards the Asura.
Perhaps due to the enhancement of the power of heaven and earth, with every step forward, the hand of lightning and fire on Chen Yun's arm became more and more intense.
In just a few breaths of time, the light of lightning and fire had become so intense that it seemed to be able to illuminate the entire world!
The massive hand was still moving forward with great force, but the lightning and fire light ahead had begun to roll and swirl prematurely.
Suddenly, the lightning and fire light shot out in all directions, continuously striking the Asura's massive body.
"Aaaaaaaaaa!"
TheAsura let out a series of terrifying cries from his mouth.
Everyone clearly saw that wherever the light of lightning and fire touched the Asura's body, a cloud of grey mist would emerge.
These gases were instantly dispersed and annihilated by the lightning and fire light as soon as they were stripped away from the Asura's body.
The Asura's body was also shrinking as the lightning and fire light continued to slash at it.
What... what?
The Asura's body, towering over twenty or thirty thousand feet, was actually unable to withstand the rays of lightning and fire?
The hearts of all beings were constantly shaken.
In this moment, all people realized the terrible power of Chen Yun's palm.
So powerful that it was almost uncontrollable!
So powerful that it was impossible to resist!
Finally, the massive hand of lightning and fire slammed onto the Asura's body.
In the next moment, a blinding light that was so intense it nearly blinded the eyes, burst out from the point where Chen Yun's hand and the Asura's body met.
Boom, boom, boom.
The powerful explosion had already erupted suddenly.
The sky was instantly filled with thunderclouds, and a series of lightning flashes surged.
The muffled thunder continued to reverberate.
If anyone were to gaze from a great distance, they would be startled to discover that between the clouds, electric lightnings flickered and illuminated the world!
This situation did not last long.
Or, it might have been just a single instant.
Then, a more intense light, akin to a supernova explosion, shot up from the ground.
This intense light appeared and kept spreading and spreading, almost illuminating the entire Tang Dynasty!
Then, a colossal ray of lightning and fire, akin to a shattered galaxy, shot upwards from the ground with great force. It broke through the heavens and shattered the clouds!
Boom!
The terrifying explosion fully erupted!
The sea water in the ocean was directly propelled into the sky.
A colossal water wall broke through the sea surface, rolling like millions of tanks moving simultaneously, producing a sound like the splitting of mountains and the cracking of the earth. It surged upwards with an unstoppable force!
The light and shadow silver wave, rising with snow-spewing!
Clouds move, jade shore; Waves roll, thunder roars!
The sea tide surged as if a million horses were galloping, their hooves pounding rapidly, crashing heavily against the sky, bursting the heavens!
The sky shook and distorted.
Space seemed to crack and tumble, roaring.
The intense light was brighter than ten thousand suns.
The temperature climbed to an extreme in the next instant, terrifyingly hot.
It was as if someone standing in such a terrifying and apocalyptic scene felt that the world was about to collapse!
Many people even thought that they would be swept away by the power of the explosion, comparable to a supernova, and descend into the depths of hell.
What no one expected, however, was that a miraculous gentle force, akin to a spring breeze, rose up almost simultaneously with the explosion and protected everyone, preventing them from being hurt in the slightest by the blast.
Finally, the light faded and the temperature dropped.
The beings finally realized that the proud Asura had already disappeared.
In the heavens and earth, there remained a giant Asura body towering over ten thousand feet, still standing in the sea!
Within the body of the Asura, green Qi was continuously gushing out.
As soon as the green Qi was scattered onto the land, it immediately soothed the land, quelled the sea, and infused vitality back into all life forms and flora that had withered, reviving them.
Green grass sprouted from the soil, and flowers bloomed everywhere along the coastal land.
Trees that had been charred black by the fire sprouted new buds on their branches, and in just a breath of time, they regained their green vitality.
Destruction, creation, coexistence!
Shocking!
Everyone was visibly shocked upon witnessing this scene.
No one had expected that such a powerful Asura was no match for Chen Yun!
The terrifying destructive force was so powerful that it could have shaken everyone's souls out of their bodies.
But after witnessing the powerful green spiritual Qi enveloping the earth and restoring vitality to all living beings, everyone truly realized that what was shocking was not the destruction, but rather that Chen Yun was in the act of "creation!"
"Creation" is the power of true deity!
Only a true deity with extraordinary power can possess such strength.
And now, Chen Yun was actually using the power possessed by a true deity?
Everyone was staring in amazement, completely shocked beyond words!
