Chapter 1250: Heroes Crawling Beneath Your Feet

Cao De was swinging his fist, striking the alms bowl. It looked like a cloth bag, with a large bulge in one spot, clearly an imprint of his fist.

The shimmering blue alms bowl emitted a deafening sound, and one side of it bulged outwards.

Cao De was almost swallowed by the alms bowl, but he became even more furious. His fists were like rainbows, unleashing unparalleled golden fist imprints. He struck relentlessly, causing the entire Buddhist artifact to tremble.

One fist-shaped bulge after another appeared on the blue alms bowl, as if it was about to be pierced through. This artifact was forged from rare divine gold.

Yet, it was now deforming, as if made of clay, twisted into various shapes by Cao De's fists.

“Everyone, assist me!” the Buddhist maiden cried softly.

Her hair flew wildly, making her appear even more sacred and transcendent. Even her dark, lustrous long hair turned golden, and Buddhist light radiated from her entire body.

The Buddhist maiden activated the alms bowl, making it shine with a brilliant blue, like a sun suspended in the void. Thousands of light beams cascaded down, enveloping Cao De.

At this moment, the alms bowl was about to trap Cao De inside.

The alms bowl's divine light surged, creating a terrifying devouring force that was about to completely absorb Cao De. The energy distorted space itself.

At this point, everyone intervened. They absolutely could not allow Cao De to break free. Now that they were certain he was a Great Sage, a chill ran down everyone's spine.

For so long, they had been confronting a Great Sage. Who wouldn't feel a shiver down their spine?

A legendary being capable of overwhelming all adversaries of the same rank!

By now, no one cared about anything else; they fought with all their might. If Cao De managed to escape, none of them would have a good outcome.

Instantly, various secret treasures flew through the air, their dazzling lights streaking across the sky, accompanied by incessant roars.

Everyone was unleashing their ultimate techniques, seizing this opportunity to severely wound Cao De and suppress a Great Sage.

Cao De snorted coldly, his gaze icy. He unleashed his full power, his golden vital energy roaring, accompanied by lightning and thunder. The most formidable energy enveloped his entire body, and his every move seemed capable of tearing through space.

He shook violently, his primary goal being to shatter the shimmering blue alms bowl and break free from its confinement.

At this moment, half of his body had already fallen into the alms bowl, as if trapped in a swamp, entangled by an inexplicable energy.

It was a mysterious aura, and around him, several old monks appeared, sitting in meditation.

If not for the golden symbols flashing deep within his eyes, allowing him to scan with his Fiery Golden Eyes, they would have been difficult to detect.

“Is this the rumored Buddhist nature?” someone in the distance wondered, startled.

It wasn't just Chu Feng who noticed; some super strong experts also acutely perceived the presence of nine old monks within the alms bowl. Although formless and intangible, true masters could sense them.

People realized that this indescribable Buddhist nature was indeed terrifying, entangling opponents invisibly and leaving them defenseless.

“This is no longer a Saint Artifact; it has already surpassed that level and is in violation!” someone from the Yong Province faction exclaimed.

However, the experts from the other two major factions did not respond.

Indeed, Chu Feng encountered some trouble. He couldn't break free from the alms bowl's restraints, trapped by the nine formless, intangible old monks.

Without using his Fiery Golden Eyes, he couldn't see them clearly, but he could sense that these nine energies were extremely terrifying, as if nine ancient Buddhas were chanting scriptures, suppressing him.

All of this happened in a flash.

Chu Feng was trapped and couldn't escape. Instantly, the weapons of the others came crashing down.

First came a volley of arrows from the Great Yi Palace's sacred archers: seven arrows from a single draw, aimed at his glabella, throat, heart, and other vital points.

Chu Feng snorted coldly, golden lightning flashing in his eyes. With a swing of his fist, he pulverized all seven arrows.

However, due to this slight delay and distraction, his body trembled, and he was about to fall deeper into the alms bowl.

This led to a vicious cycle.

The nine old monks in the alms bowl drew closer to him, their Buddhist nature growing stronger. They locked onto him, their incessant chanting sounding as if they were trying to enlighten a great demon.

The void trembled slightly, and the Heaven and Earth Flowing Light Pagoda appeared, smashing onto Cao De's shoulder. This caused him to stumble, lose his balance, and directly fall further into the alms bowl.

“Everyone, act quickly!” someone shouted, seeing hope in suppressing Cao De.

At this moment, the Heaven-Overturning Seal emerged, emitting a fierce radiance, and smashed forward.

This was a major killing weapon!

Cao De had no way to dodge; he was locked down by the alms bowl and trapped within. He withstood the blow with his back.

With a bang, the Heaven-Overturning Seal was sent flying backward with strong energy fluctuations, crashing into the ground in the distance.

The area visibly sank and collapsed, with wide black fissures several feet across spreading outwards.

It was as if a meteorite had struck, creating a terrifying deep pit!

One must remember, this was the Yang Realm, where the Grand Dao was complete. Generally, in the Saint realm, it was extremely difficult to shatter mountains and rivers, which showed how terrifying the Heaven-Overturning Seal was.

If it hit a person, normally, no matter their clan or how powerful a Saint they were, they would be instantly smashed, their bones broken, muscles torn, and reduced to pulp.

Yet, Cao De, caught in a dangerous situation, restrained and suppressed by the alms bowl's Buddhist nature, was able to withstand it directly, sending it flying with his physical body.

This scene shocked many.

As for those who felt it most deeply, they were naturally the seed-level evolvers on the battlefield, whose expressions instantly changed, and their hearts grew cold.

But now that they were in the fray, how could they retreat?

Immediately, various secret treasures, like divine rainbows, one after another, all struck Cao De, from the Seven Treasures Glazed Fan to the Vajra Scepter, continuously bombarding him.

People were astonished. Trapped within the Buddhist artifact, Cao De's body remained unharmed, and he was still enduring all sorts of powerful secret treasures. How incredibly strong was he?

A group of people felt their hair stand on end. They knew they had bitten off more than they could chew, encountering an extremely formidable opponent, but they could only grit their teeth and press on.

Having reached this point, could they still flee in disarray? They couldn't afford to lose face!

They communicated mentally, cooperating fully, unleashing all their ultimate techniques to strike down the terrifying Great Sage from Yong Province.

“Are you done yet?!”

Chu Feng was enraged. Trapped in an alms bowl that surpassed the Saint level, and having repeatedly endured heavy blows from powerful artifacts like the Heaven-Overturning Seal, the Heaven and Earth Flowing Light Pagoda, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Fan, he too became furious.

He was here to sweep everyone aside, not to be beaten.

He knew that he had been somewhat careless after all. In order to test his true strength, he had deliberately met the Buddhist artifact head-on without dodging, and as a result, he was drawn in.

Otherwise, he could have evaded it.

Of course, he didn't regret it. Today was primarily about testing his own strength; a little discomfiture was nothing. Even at this point, he remained confident.

Seeing various secret treasures flying towards him, their light intertwining like lightning, he made a choice: to fully enter the alms bowl.

In an instant, the alms bowl flipped, drawing Chu Feng inside. Its opening faced upwards, filled with swirling light and mist, radiating Buddhist light, intent on refining him into a pool of blood!

From afar, gasps of astonishment could be heard.

Great Sage Cao was suppressed by a Buddhist artifact?

People's expressions turned grave. The so-called invisible Buddhist nature of the Buddhist clan was terrifyingly powerful, even more formidable than legends described. It was astounding.

“Although that alms bowl is not of high grade, it was once wielded by powerful individuals in their youth, leaving behind their invisible Buddhist natures within it. It can be considered a true treasure!”

Someone sighed softly.

If it continued to be nurtured, it would eventually transform into a high-grade Buddhist treasure!

Some of its previous masters had long since become Heavenly Venerates.

The secret power of Buddhist nature was said to be the most unfathomable and difficult to decipher.

Boom!

The blue alms bowl glowed intensely and trembled violently.

Inside, Cao De, having been drawn in, charged and fiercely struck the nine old monks.

Within the alms bowl, golden symbols flickered in his eyes, allowing him to clearly see what the so-called formless and intangible entities truly were.

Nine old monks sat in meditation, each with a Buddhist halo behind their heads, their appearances solemn and dignified. They chanted true scriptures, and myriad symbols emerged, densely packed, submerging and trapping him, intending to refine him.

“He’s finally suppressed!”

On the battlefield, some people let out a sigh of relief.

Then, some seed-level masters grew excited; they had actually suppressed a Great Sage!

Although it was a joint effort, there was no shame in that.

“Everyone, it’s not over yet. Please help me completely suppress him and make him lose all power to resist!”

The Buddhist maiden spoke, continuously channeling energy to activate the alms bowl.

“Good!”

The others also sat down, jointly refining the alms bowl.

The shimmering blue alms bowl, which was a zhang tall, began to shrink rapidly to a chi in height, indicating that the refining process was effective.

Inside, Chu Feng felt the pressure. His eyes gleamed with coldness, and with a furious roar, he unleashed a variety of powerful and absolute techniques.

Within, he acted without restraint, employing the Seven Treasures Mystic Art. In an instant, he radiated dazzling light, sweeping away the nine old monks.

As a Great Sage, using one of the Yang Realm’s most formidable mystic arts, the power was simply unimaginable.

The so-called Buddhist nature, embodied by the nine old monks, was struck. They then naturally disintegrated, shattered, and their Buddhist nature exploded.

Next, Cao De unleashed his Ultimate Fist Imprint. Amidst blinding golden light, a layer of crimson blood mist also swirled around his body, a characteristic feature of the Ultimate Fist Imprint.

Under the explosion-like energy and his terrifying fist imprints, the inner wall of the alms bowl roared.

Crack!

This time, the sound was earth-shattering. The shimmering blue alms bowl rapidly expanded from one chi to one zhang in height, hanging suspended in the void, now covered in cracks.

Then, with a loud bang, this Buddhist artifact disintegrated, exploding violently.

The first to be affected was the Buddhist maiden. Her hair flew wildly, she coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, and her entire body glowed as she was sent flying sideways, crashing to the ground, unable to move again.

Cao De emerged like a ferocious tiger unleashed, radiating immense killing intent.

He stunned everyone; even the observing experts were astonished. To shatter a treasure containing such potent Buddhist nature was truly… defying the heavens!

The others were also thrown back by the violent energy waves, many spitting blood from their mouths, having suffered severe impact.

Even worse, some unlucky seed-level masters were pierced by fragments of the alms bowl, their bodies impaled, bleeding profusely onto the ground.

Boom!

Chu Feng stood like a great demon god, his hair disheveled, his entire body radiating brilliant golden light, with an outer halo of vital blood energy. The sight was terrifying.

At this moment, he made no attempt to conceal his power. He intentionally used the Ultimate Fist, not only for its immense power but also as a deterrent, signifying his extraordinary origins.

Regarding the Ultimate Fist, it was not an absolute secret; a few ultimate great sects and top families in the Yang Realm had obtained its scriptures. However, it was unheard of for anyone to successfully master it.

Everyone who practiced this fist technique would get stuck at certain stages, blocked midway, and eventually give up in the later stages.

Now, Cao De's demonstration of the Ultimate Fist sent a shiver down some people's spines, making them realize that his origins might be astonishing, perhaps from a hidden family!

“Kill!”

Chu Feng’s hair shimmered, having already turned golden. His entire body glowed as he strode forward, striking down all his opponents. They no longer had time to escape.

Because his speed surpassed everyone else’s.

In that instant, several of the heavily wounded seed-level masters, who had been injured when the alms bowl shattered, were pierced by his fists, their blood splattering across the void.

“Spare their lives!”

At that critical moment, if not for Heavenly Venerate Qi Rong’s telepathic message, Chu Feng’s fist imprint would have been powerful enough to make these individuals explode on the spot, utterly annihilating their bodies and souls.

Qi Rong didn’t want to make things too difficult, because the families behind these individuals were very powerful, such as the Buddhist clan, ranked among the top five strongest clans in the Yang Realm.

Even so, Chu Feng swept through, leaving a trail of blood, his Ultimate Fist erupting and shattering all resistance!

At this moment, even the fallen Buddhist maiden was pierced by his fist, her blood flowing freely.

Boom!

The Heaven-Overturning Seal came crashing down. His eyes narrowed, and he exerted his full strength, unleashing a punch. With a crack, this notoriously formidable weapon in the Yang Realm instantly exploded.

Even the spectators were stunned. If Cao De were to fully grow and his realm reached the corresponding level, could he perhaps shatter the ultimate-tier Heaven-Overturning Seal’s main artifact with his bare hands?!

That would be truly terrifying. No one had ever heard of someone being able to shatter an ultimate weapon of the Yang Realm with their bare hands!

After losing the Heaven-Overturning Seal, the brown-haired man’s vision went black. Then, he was punched through the chest, half of his body exploding. With a scream, he fell unconscious, collapsing onto the ground.

Crack!

The next moment, Chu Feng moved like a phantom, his speed incredible. He met the incoming Heaven and Earth Flowing Light Pagoda and directly blasted it apart.

Immediately after, the Seven Treasures Glazed Fan also exploded, shattered by his single punch!

In an instant, all the seed-level masters lay sprawled on the ground, completely suppressed by Cao De.

If not for Heavenly Venerate Qi Rong’s intercession, speaking out at the crucial moment, these individuals would have been utterly annihilated, already blasted into blood and bone by Chu Feng.

As for those powerful killing artifacts, from the Heaven-Overturning Seal to the Heaven and Earth Flowing Light Pagoda, not a single one remained; all were shattered by his Ultimate Fist Imprint.

This scene shocked everyone. After witnessing it, they were practically speechless.

All his opponents lay prostrate at his feet, while he stood alone in the battlefield!
