Chapter 595 Cao Youqian: If No One Makes a Move, I Will Start Calling Names
In the blink of an eye, two days passed. The cultivators appearing were all True Intent Great Perfection geniuses from the major Sacred Lands.
In previous years, such geniuses would only appear on the final day. But this time, the True Intent Great Perfection realm was completely unremarkable.
Not to mention clashing with the Sacred Sons of the Sacred Lands, even Harmonization Dao Realm cultivators like Qin Qin and Shi Xuan could not suppress them.
However, in the eyes of the big shots, this was merely a prelude to the arrival of the Great Era Struggle. Only when geniuses appear in large numbers can the Xuantian Continent produce an Immortal Emperor.
Early this day, cultivators from the major Sacred Lands arrived as promised. After the ten Saints exchanged pleasantries, the Grand Competition officially began.
At the Asking the Dao Academy, Cao Youqian stood up and stretched his limbs. He bowed to Chu Feng and said, "Master, this disciple will make a move first."
"Go ahead." Chu Feng did not tell Cao Youqian to hold back. This kid had already become impatient after watching from the sidelines for so many days.
Cao Youqian stepped forward, and the next second, he appeared in mid-air. He swept his gaze over all the cultivators present and declared, "Asking the Dao Academy Sacred Son Cao Youqian is here; who dares to fight me!"
Arrogant, too arrogant!
Such a thought instantly appeared in everyone's minds, but no one felt there was any problem. Everyone present had heard somewhat of Cao Youqian's arrogance, and today, they finally had the chance to witness his strength.
Silence. The response to Cao Youqian was a burst of silence.
Seeing that no one spoke, the corner of Cao Youqian's mouth rose slightly. "If you do not wish to come up, then I will call you out one by one."
Ignored. It was a naked display of disregard.
The faces of the geniuses from the major Sacred Lands immediately became unsightly. They were not afraid of Cao Youqian.
Rather, they did not want to strike first and let those behind them gain an advantage. After all, the Asking the Dao Academy had two Sacred Sons, and Xiao Chen's strength was a level higher than Cao Youqian's.
Just then, from the Great Thunder Sound Temple, a figure came treading on the air atop a golden lotus. The person had not yet arrived, but their voice came first.
"Amitabha, this little monk Mo Ke has come to learn the Sacred Son's high-level techniques." Mo Ke put his palms together with a humble expression on his face.
"Are you that genius the Great Thunder Sound Temple invited from Heaven Continent?" Cao Youqian sized up the little bald man before him, who had a bitter melon face and a sturdy build, and teased him.
"Correct, it is this little monk. To be remembered by the Sacred Son is this little monk's honor." Mo Ke the Buddhist Son's demeanor remained as humble as ever.
Compared to Cao Youqian's arrogance, his attitude could undoubtedly win more favor.
"Make your move." Cao Youqian folded his arms across his chest, his face full of disdain.
"Thank you, Sacred Son, for yielding; this little monk accepts." Mo Ke finished speaking and sat cross-legged, his body emitting a dazzling Buddhist light.
Immediately, a Vast Sky Buddha Dharma Idol stood between heaven and earth. In an instant, the Buddhist light filled the air, and the dazzling radiance eclipsed the light of the sun.
The vast majority of cultivators below the Nirvana Realm knelt on the ground after just one glance at the Buddha image. They revealed devout expressions and began to kowtow.
Even the older generation of kings and marquises were affected by the Buddhist light emitted by this Buddha image. Their minds became unstable, and they felt an impulse to convert to Buddhism.
"The younger generation is to be feared!"
"This Buddhist Son Mo Ke is presumably also a top-tier expert in Heaven Continent. Given time, he will surely become a God King."
Cao Youqian saw this scene but remained standing motionless in place. He smiled and said, "Little monk, don't use this set of tricks to play games with this Sacred Son. Make your move quickly; I am getting impatient."
Mo Ke slowly closed his eyes and uttered four words: "Buddha Light Shines Everywhere."
His words followed the law. In an instant, ten thousand feet of Buddhist light swept toward Cao Youqian.
Wherever the Buddhist light passed, heaven and earth changed color, and all living beings worshipped devoutly.
In less than the blink of an eye, the Buddhist light swallowed Cao Youqian.
Just this? The onlookers did not expect that Cao Youqian would not even have a chance to resist.
This was a strike containing the true meaning of the Buddhist Dao. Even if Cao Youqian had comprehended the Dao True Intent, it was impossible for him to take this blow with his pure physical body.
A moment later, the Buddhist light dissipated.
Everyone looked toward where Cao Youqian was. When they saw him—completely unharmed with his arms still folded, standing motionless in mid-air—they subconsciously gasped.
Hiss...
"This Sacred Son Cao's physical body is too strong; it is simply comparable to a Sacred Artifact."
"Worthy of being the number two genius of Xuan Continent; he is qualified to be arrogant!"
Of course, the most surprised person in the entire audience was Mo Ke. Although he had only been probing earlier, he never expected that this Sacred Son Cao before him would be so formidable.
The corner of Cao Youqian's mouth rose slightly, and he mocked with a smile, "Put a little more effort into it. Your move isn't even enough to tickle me."
Mo Ke knew that this fellow was intentionally angering him, wanting him to lose his temper. He subconsciously clenched his back teeth and forced a smile.
"Sacred Son Cao is indeed formidable. This little monk was rude just now. This time, I will use the Great Thunder Sound Temple's Imperial Technique; I invite my Dao friend to give some advice."
"Oh." Cao Youqian immediately became interested and said with a smile, "Fine. Being able to show me an Imperial Technique means your trip wasn't in vain."
???
Mo Ke was stunned at first, but quickly realized that the other party was mocking him. However, he told himself he must not commit the sin of wrath; this battle was merely a test from the Buddha.
Thinking this, he put his palms together again. The next second, a ray of Immortal Light emitted from his body, quickly merging with the light from the Dharma Idol.
At this moment, Mo Ke was like a Buddha descending into the world. Before he even struck, he gave rise to the thought that he could not be opposed.
The cultivators present were all knowledgeable people and recognized Mo Ke's Immortal Body at a glance.
"Indestructible Diamond Immortal Body!"
"I didn't expect this Buddhist Son Mo Ke to actually awaken an Immortal Body. This battle is likely to be the most splendid one in nearly ten thousand years."
Seeing the Immortal Light emitting from the other party, the look of playfulness on Cao Youqian's face also disappeared, replaced by a face full of excitement.
"Little monk, I didn't expect you could bring such a big surprise to this Sacred Son. Strong enough!"
As he spoke, Immortal Light also burst forth from Cao Youqian, and his aura spread out as well. A Dharma Idol identical to him also stood tall in the sky.
Bathed in the Immortal Light, Cao Youqian at this moment was like an invincible Demon God looking down on heaven and earth.
"This kid actually uses himself as the Dharma Idol; he really is arrogant enough!"
"Who was the last genius to use himself as a Dharma Idol?"
Everyone started discussing in a clamor. After all, they had not seen a genius use themselves as a Dharma Idol for many years.
The discussions of the world did not affect the two confronting each other in the sky. The auras of the two were still rising continuously.
The terrifying pressure shrouded the entire battle arena. They suppressed each other, and for a time, the pressure of the two formed a standoff...
