This voice was magnificent and solemn, as if all things in the universe paled in comparison to it.

    Chen Yun's naked eyes could almost see layers of enormous ring-shaped sound waves slowly descending from the sky.

    He felt as if his entire lungs had been squeezed out, and his spirit was shaken without end, as if it was about to be shattered.

    With just a cold roar, Chen Yun felt that he was even more terrifying than fighting against the hundred Aryasura's before!

    Not far away, Du Guangting, Li Chunfeng, and others instantly turned pale, collapsing to the ground with a loud thud as they were suppressed, their mouths filled with dust.

    The entire ground of the Tang Dynasty seems to be jumping!

    Just the power of a single voice sent shockwaves through the heavens and earth!

    In an instant, the golden light and golden orbs were crushed into powder by the sound waves, turning into bits of light that fell downwards.

    The majestic figure was startled and quickly looked in the direction of south-west, shouting loudly: "Who are you, holy person, to dare break my great magic here?"

    More than just the Majestic Figure looking in the direction of south-west.

    Fa Zhen, Fa Hai, Cloud Disciple, and the tens of millions of people in Dengzhou all looked southwest at nearly the same time.

    Chen Yun was also doing so.

    In the next moment, everyone saw a burst of fire rising from the southwest direction, illuminating half of the sky. It was like a burning cloud, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

    Within the glow of the fire, a gigantic golden wooden figure of an immortal with a celestial air stood, facing the wind.

    This immortal carried a pair of sabers, hung a jade-green waist flask, and wore a straw hat on his back.

    Just standing there, he made people feel the urge to worship him.

    "Ah?"

    "It's Lv Zǔ!"

    "Lv Zǔ reveals the virtual appearance through his great law!"

    "What? Did Mr. Chen really call out and summon Lv Zǔ here?"

    Du Guangting, Li Chunfeng, and Fa Hai were greatly shaken.

    The Beggar Monk, Yuan Chu, Cloud Disciple, and others seemed surprised that Lü Dongbin, who had cultivated to the level of a celestial immortal, would actually take care of such matters.

    At first, they were both amused and angry at Chen Yun's shouting for help from the sea towards the south-west.

    But they didn't expect that their rescue would actually work.

    And they actually managed to summon Lü Dongbin!

    Someone immediately thought of Lü Dongbin's quick temper and fierce defense. They turned their gaze towards Chaifu, whose eyes were bright with excitement. They thought, "This poor Ahura is in for a rough time now. Lü Dongbin is known for his protective nature, and you can't bully his disciple without consequences today!"

    "Lü Dongbin?" Chi Fu also didn't expect that the person Chen Yun called for help was none other than the famous Lü Dongbin. He was really startled and his face turned pale instantly. He hurriedly pleaded, "I am Chi Fu, a general of Ahura Rahu. I did not know that the immortal had arrived. Please forgive me."

    "Hmph!" Lü Dongbin had no intention of forgiving him. He was extremely protective, saying, "To dare to bully even my disciple Lü Gao? Who gave you the audacity!"

    Lü Dongbin's magnificent, majestic, and oppressive voice rolled towards them.

    The sound waves seemed as tangible as reality, twisting together, subtly causing the heavens, rivers, air currents, and indeed the very land of Dengzhou and the Tang Dynasty to shake with the vibration of sound. It created a feeling of submission.

    The one who owned this voice was like the master of the heavens and the earth.

    Under the sound, all living creatures without exception submitted.

    Even the sun in the sky seemed to lose its color in the face of this voice.

    "Even just with his voice, he manipulates the space of the entire heavens and earth. Brother's cultivation level is truly terrifying! Is this the power of Lü brother as a celestial immortal?"

    Chen Yun finally knew how terrifying the celestial immortals were.

    Lü Dongbin didn't even show his true form; he just materialized a virtual shadow, and yet he could stir up the power of the entire world's heavens and earth.

    Such power over control is utterly staggering!

    A thought-wave transmitted voice can control an infinite amount of power in the vast universe in just a moment?

    Given that Chi Fu, positioned between reality and illusion, possesses a strength of at least the land-xian realm, potentially even the god realm, yet cannot escape from Lü Dongbin's shadow and is immobilized in mid-air?

    Chen Yun experienced for the first time what it was like to be a celestial immortal, what true might and majesty were.

    In front of such a top-level immortal like Lü Dongbin, Chen Yun felt like an impoverished street urchin without a penny, compared to a king who rules over the land and people, appearing so small and humble.

    The gap in realm and power is not just enormous but akin to an impassable chasm and gulf!

    Chen Yun wasn't sure if Lü Dongbin possessed the same profound methods as his teacher Zhongli Quan, but he was certain of one thing: up until now, he had never seen anyone unleash such terrifying power. Moreover, this was only Lü Dongbin manifesting a shadow, not revealing his true strength.

    This kind of power is truly terrifying.

    This terror far exceeds a thousand, a hundred thousand times the salvation divine qi granted by his teacher!

    The surging sound waves and violent impact of thoughts collided in the void, causing the Ahura general Chi Fu to scream in agony, his aura also rising without warning, flashing and hitting.

    Suddenly, a sigh emerged from the void.

    "Ah, Immortal Lü, would you grant me the favor of sparing Chi Fu this once?"

    As this unfamiliar sigh echoed, the sky brightened.

    Chen Yun, Li Chunfeng, Du Guangting, and everyone else rushed to look in the direction of the bright light.

    They could clearly see that the void between reality and illusion, which had been frozen by Lü Dongbin's sound waves, began to ripple again.

    As the light and rippling spread, a divine being of about the same height as an ordinary person, with four hands, a human body and a dragon's tail, wearing golden armor suddenly appeared.

    Despite his small size and seemingly virtual form, as soon as the deity appeared, the entire world seemed to be illuminated by the bright light emanating from him.

    "Luo Hou?"

    "He is the Ahura King!"

    "What? The Ahura King personally appeared?"

    The assembly of cultivators erupted into a commotion once again.

    Today, they had thoroughly widened their eyes. First, they saw Chen Yun transform into a ten-thousand-meter demonic being engaging in battle with an Ahura. Then, the general of Ahura's army, Chi Fu, appeared. Now, the Ahura King himself, Luo Hou, has stepped forward.

    Chen Yun, possibly a celestial body, saw things differently from those ordinary cultivators.

    Upon seeing the virtual appearance of Luo Hou, his spiritual essence felt enveloped by the light, as if the "deity" itself was bathed in brightness and tingled.

    Luo Hou was originally a demon in ancient Indian mythology, the son of "Dyotiya's king Vasupriya" and "Daisha's daughter Xinjia". He is also known as the "king of planets and meteors", and the guardian deity of the southwest.

    Later, Luo Hou was gradually absorbed by both Buddhism and Taoism.

    In Buddhism, he is the Ahura King of the Eight Devas, while in Taoism, he becomes one of the nine Yue stars.

    Ancients said, "Luo Hou shines overhead, men are anxious." For men, when Luo Hou is in his year, misfortune is most pronounced; the home is not peaceful, and there are lawsuits and financial losses.

    This is a terrifying existence that exists in several myths!

    Indeed, when Luo Hou manifested in a virtual form, Chi Fu, the Ahura general, trembled with fear.

    Everyone could sense the immense power that Luo Hou possessed; it was as if, if he wished, he could destroy a world with ease!

    On one side, it is the virtual appearance of the celestial immortal Lü Dongbin.

    On the other side, it is the fierce god Luo Hou emerging to plead for mercy for his subordinates.

    Now, everyone in the room had only one thought: Would Lü Dongbin grant Luo Hou face and spare Chi Fu this time, or would Lü Dongbin continue to defend his followers and engage in a fierce battle with Luo Hou?

    Including Chen Yun, he was also puzzled.

    In the next moment, Lü Dongbin directly responded, "What about you, Luo Hou? Today, even if you go to Mount Indra to see Buddha Shakyamuni, he must give me a reason for your Buddhist followers bullying my disciple!"

    Lü Dongbin's voice came from afar, followed by a series of rolling sound waves that rippled through the air, instantly dispersing the clouds and whirlpools. From the void, a gigantic hand descended, covering the sky and shading the sun.

    This massive hand was like it could cover the sky with one hand, and it reached out towards Chi Fu with all its might!

    Clearly, Lü Dongbin was determined to protect his junior to the end!

    Chen Yun watched in awe, thinking, "A true man should live like this!"

    This giant hand descended from the ninth heaven.

    The fierce grasp threatened to shatter bones and freeze blood!

    Splash! Chi Fu, who had been between reality and illusion, was violently shaken into the physical world and then grabbed by the giant hand as if it were catching a chick.

    This is the scene unfolding in the sky.

    However, the actual vision seen by everyone below was quite different.

    The crowd only saw the giant hand grasping downwards, as if their spirits shattered, and before their eyes appeared the heavens and earth, mountains and rivers, and countless stars, all rotating along with the hand.

    Chen Yun also witnessed this incredible scene. He felt trapped under the imposing might of the giant hand, as if there was no escape, and as if this world seemed to be about to be crushed!

    Fortunately, Lü Dongbin only intended to capture Chi Fu and did not cause any damage to the world.

    As Chi Fu was grabbed, Luo Hou was both startled and angry, scolding, "Lü Dongbin! Do you really not give me, Luo Hou, any face?"

    Lü Dongbin sneered and looked down upon him, "Give you face? Who are you to me! Today, I will take my disciple to attack the Temple of Enlightenment and let Sakyamuni Buddha explain this matter!"

    After speaking, he transformed the giant hand holding Chi Fu into a smaller thumb and flicked it towards the virtual appearance of Luo Hou in mid-air.

    "No!"

    Luo Hou gritted his teeth and roared, and the virtual appearance disappeared in an instant.

    Everyone was shocked, none of them expected Lü Dongbin to be so determined. Not only did he refuse to give Luo Hou any face, but he even blasted the virtual image of Luo Hou's concentrated magical power projected to this world!

    Chen Yun and the others had different emotions. Deep within, Chen Yun felt a surge of excitement and admiration. Brother Lü, he's so fierce!

    Just as he was in the midst of his emotional turmoil,

    Lü Dongbin suddenly spoke out, "Chen younger brother, follow me."

    Follow you?

    Isn't Chi Fu already captured by you?

    Where are we going then?

    Chen Yun, who was dazed and confused, asked, "Where are we going?"

    Lü Dongbin spoke calmly, "Attack the Temple of Enlightenment!" Astonished exclamations echoed from everyone present.
