"I must admit, you are truly a peerless prodigy..."
"But alas, no matter how exceptional, you cannot contend against the foundations accumulated by our Chu family over countless generations."
"The power of the Malevolent Qi Witch Ancestor Statue we refined in the Chu family surpasses that of ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators by a considerable margin."
"You should consider it an honor to perish beneath the Malevolent Qi Witch Ancestor Statue..."
"Rest assured, you will ultimately die from the erosion of malevolent qi, a truly gruesome end..."
"This way, the spirits of Chu Qiao, Chu Cheng, Chu Liu, and Chu Yuan will finally find peace."
"Malevolent Qi Witch Ancestor Statue??????"
"While Wu Tao had long anticipated that the Chu family, who had ruled the Chu Domain for millions of years, would possess considerable trump cards,"
"He never expected Chu Kuangtian to have so many.
"As he watched the tens of thousands of feet tall malevolent qi giant rapidly charge towards him, Wu Tao almost swore aloud."
"Although Wu Tao had near one hundred percent confidence in his divine ability, 'Manifesting a Buddhist Kingdom with a Single Thought',"
"Even so, Wu Tao's composure was on the verge of collapse."
"For at this moment, Wu Tao was astonished to find that the Buddhist kingdom he had conjured was becoming increasingly illusory under the destructive onslaught of the malevolent qi giant."
"His control over this Buddhist kingdom was becoming more strenuous, as if this very world had begun to reject his Buddhist kingdom!"
"In truth, this was Wu Tao's first time using the final technique among the Six Buddhist Dharmas, 'Manifesting a Buddhist Kingdom with a Single Thought'."
"After advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage, Wu Tao had long since mastered all six techniques of the Myriad Buddhist Temple, but he had never had the opportunity to use the final one."
"Therefore, today marked Wu Tao's inaugural use of 'Manifesting a Buddhist Kingdom with a Single Thought'."
Chu Kuangtian, his eyes filled with both hatred and admiration, cast a complex glance at Wu Tao and sighed, "You truly possess talent and potential that others cannot match."
"Given more time, perhaps nothing in this world could contain your progress..."
"However, you have no such opportunity, for you are destined to die today."
Behold, the hundreds of thousands of feet tall malevolent qi giant arrived beside Wu Tao, swinging its colossal fists, each tens of thousands of feet wide, towards Wu Tao.
Wu Tao's brow furrowed, and he moved his steps.
...
In the next moment, his figure appeared beside the malevolent qi giant, narrowly evading the iron fists that were several times larger than mountains.
After uttering "Amitabha" once more, a chilling, piercing glint flashed in Wu Tao's eyes.
The profound Buddhist majesty that emanated forth instilled a pressure that felt as though it originated from the depths of one's soul.
Witnessing this, Chu Kuangtian's pupils contracted rapidly, revealing a look of ineffable shock!
At this very moment, Wu Tao suddenly sighed and then spoke to Chu Kuangtian, explaining,
"It seems you do not comprehend the true terrifying extent of my 'Manifesting a Buddhist Kingdom with a Single Thought' divine ability..."
"If you understood, perhaps you would not so rashly believe that your malevolent qi giant, manifested from the Malevolent Qi Witch Ancestor Statue, could contend against me."
"If I wished, your proud malevolent qi giant would be no match for a single palm strike from me."
"Today, I shall show you what the wrath of a Buddha truly entails!"
"My greatest gain today will be your head, Chu Kuangtian. I eagerly anticipate shattering the gates of your Chu family and eradicating your entire clan!"
"To replace your Chu family and become the new master of the Chu Domain."
...
After speaking, Wu Tao unhesitatingly gathered the Buddhist power from within the Buddhist kingdom.
"Buddha's Palm!!!"
A colossal palm, hundreds of thousands of feet in size, created by Wu Tao, slammed towards the malevolent qi giant.
The hundred-thousand-foot giant palm locked onto spacetime; there was no escape, no place to flee, only a battle.
The hundreds of thousands of feet tall malevolent qi giant met the colossal palm.
As fists collided with the giant palm, countless spatial rifts formed around them, and the Buddhist kingdom Wu Tao had manifested with a single thought began to gradually collapse.
After exchanging several blows, Wu Tao and the malevolent qi giant continued their brutal combat. The hundreds of thousands of feet tall malevolent qi giant's body began to show numerous signs of damage and breakdown.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The hundreds of thousands of feet tall malevolent qi giant roared, its voice shaking the Buddhist kingdom. However, it then disappeared on its own.
"Impossible, impossible, this is utterly impossible! How could you so easily destroy the malevolent qi giant manifested from the Malevolent Qi Witch Ancestor Statue..."
Seeing this, Chu Kuangtian descended into madness.
On the other side, as the Buddhist kingdom shattered, Wu Tao suffered a backlash and forcefully spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, Wu Tao's mind remained clear. Seeing Chu Kuangtian in a state of frenzy,
Wu Tao knew this was the best possible opportunity.
An opportunity that should not be missed, for once lost, it might never return.
Wu Tao drew out the Chu Xi Sword and swung it forcefully, as if all his spiritual power had entered this single blade.
Instantly, the blade of the Chu Xi Sword erupted with a brilliant sword light!
It was like the Sword of Heavenly Punishment descending from the heavens, instilling the notion that one could not dodge and could only face it head-on.
The might of this sword seized the power of heaven and earth.
All illusions and dreams, in the final moments of death, vanish into smoke, leaving nothing behind.
...
The Chu Xi Sword plunged directly into Chu Kuangtian's chest. The sword energy circulating within its blade churned inside Chu Kuangtian's body.
In the next second, ten thousand rays of sword light shot out, directly burying Chu Kuangtian in a dazzling, brilliant cascade of sword light.
Both Chu Kuangtian's physical body and his Nascent Soul were annihilated by this world-shattering strike.
...
"Terrifying, truly a terrifying man!"
Wu Shouyang and Wu Fengzi's gazes sharpened, and they exchanged glances, understanding each other's thoughts.
They could no longer view this rogue cultivator with the disdain reserved for commoners.
No wonder, after only a hundred years, this rogue cultivator had forged such a fearsome reputation.
Whether it was the earlier 'Manifesting a Buddhist Kingdom with a Single Thought' or this current sword strike, it was a mastery bordering on the divine, pushing the power of their techniques to the absolute limit!
No wonder, in just a century, he had elevated his faction into the colossal entity it was today. This man was indeed extraordinary.
Furthermore, this man had managed to eliminate seven Nascent Soul cultivators, including a late-stage Nascent Soul grand cultivator, while facing a siege by nine Nascent Soul cultivators!
However, it was a pity that while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole waits behind.
The one who would replace the Chu family as the new master of the Chu Domain would not be Wu Tao, but their Wu family.
Wu Shouyang and Wu Fengzi burst into laughter, as if mocking Wu Tao and the folly of their seven companions.
Upon exchanging glances, Wu Shouyang and Wu Fengzi understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
Then, Wu Shouyang and Wu Fengzi each struck their storage bags.
Subsequently, Wu Tao saw that in the hands of Wu Shouyang and Wu Fengzi, there appeared half of a broken stone pillar, each holding one half.
With triumphant smiles, Wu Shouyang and Wu Fengzi connected the broken pieces of the stone pillar.
Wu Tao felt a flash of white light, and in the next moment, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar place.
It was a hazy, boundless expanse, where all that met the eye was a chaotic hue, and nothing else.
This place felt like a cage; not only was the sky oppressively low, but the ground also gave him an unsettling sensation.
Most importantly, there were a total of one hundred and eight pillars in all directions.
Wu Tao released his divine sense and probed the pillars, only to have them absorbed by the pillars themselves.
If Wu Tao's divine sense were not currently so exceptionally powerful, losing even this small amount would have been a significant blow, otherwise, he would have suffered greatly.
"Pillars..."
"Chaos..."
"Heaven and Earth..."
"Wu Shouyang, Wu Fengzi, what the hell have these scoundrels done?"
"Damn it, if I had known they possessed such a trick, they should have been the first ones I killed."
"To avoid this awkward predicament. What kind of place is this?"
Wu Tao initially hopped around, cursing loudly.
...
After venting his frustration, Wu Tao began to truly engage his mind.
He murmured to himself, "It seems no clan family can be underestimated."
"On the surface, they seem ordinary, but when it comes to a true showdown, their potent trump cards are more numerous than one can imagine."
"I have nearly capsized and died here on multiple occasions."
In the past, Wu Tao had not believed in the supposed foundations of the powerful clans. After being taught a lesson by Chu Kuangtian and Wu Shouyang and Wu Fengzi, he finally realized the truth.
He still did not know the specific powers of these pillars, but their sheer presence gave Wu Tao a sense of dread, no less terrifying than when he had manifested his Buddhist kingdom with a single thought.
Indeed, none of these clan elders were ordinary individuals.
Calming his mind, the sharp-eyed Wu Tao discovered something peculiar.
Wu Tao's Nightmare Eye on his forehead opened wide, emitting a purple beam of light that struck one of the hundred and eight pillars.
Then, Wu Tao discovered something that made him gasp.
Each of the one hundred and eight pillars was actually sealing a demon god.
Judging by their auras, the strength of each demon god was not insignificant.
"There's definitely something fishy going on here!"
Wu Tao's gaze sharpened, and he remained vigilant.
The exact circumstances of these pillars remained unknown.
After all, he had been forcibly brought here through a special method by Wu Shouyang and Wu Fengzi, who had acted suddenly.
