Daily Intelligence, Starting Out I Obtain the Heaven-devouring Demonic Art

70: Overwhelm!”Hm? Is that you...? You actually managed to reach the Third Layer of the Pan Yun Secret Realm?”

Kong Chen looked at Wang Teng before him, his eyes narrowing instantly, a sharp glint flickering within them.

Moreover, because there were no outsiders here, Kong Chen no longer maintained his benevolent facade, not even bothering to utter his usual mantra, ”Amitabha.”

”If Great Master can reach it, why can’t I?”

Wang Teng smiled faintly and retorted.

”Heh...! How can you compare yourself to me?”

”I am the Buddha Son of Tianlong Temple; what are you?”

Kong Chen sneered, his posture arrogant, his gaze filled with disdain and contempt for Wang Teng.

”Great Master, as a monk, isn’t that a bit much to say?”

Wang Teng sneered and said.

”So what? What can you do to me?”

”Besides, last time at the Treasure Pavilion, you dared to snatch a blind box from me. There were too many people then, so I didn’t bother with you!”

”I didn’t expect you to ignore the path to Heaven and instead force your way into the gate of Hell! Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being impolite! No one has ever dared to snatch things from me!”

”Great Luo Buddha Hand!”

Kong Chen barked lowly, his eyes filled with killing intent.

The next moment, brilliant and dazzling Buddhist light erupted from Kong Chen’s body.

A giant golden palm descended from the Nine Heavens, its five fingers like towering pillars, with destructive Dao rhymes flowing through its palm lines.

The scattered rays of light from between its fingers transformed into three thousand Buddha phantoms, and the booming Sanskrit chants shook the clouds beyond the Nine Heavens.

As the swastika symbol on the palm lit up, the ground cracked into bottomless ravines, and the altar standing there collapsed like sand under the palm’s wind.

This was the Great Luo Buddha Hand, a top-tier ultimate skill of Tianlong Temple.

As it slowly pressed down, ripples appeared in the Void Realm, as if the entire universe was being brought into its palm, its power terrifying to the extreme.

”Hmph...!”

”Human King Seal!”

Seeing this, Wang Teng snorted coldly, forming a hand seal. A phantom of a Human King manifested behind him, clashing fiercely with Kong Chen’s Great Luo Buddha Hand.

With a thunderous boom!

This world seemed to quiet for an instant, followed by a deafening roar of thunder.

The center of the Buddha Hand bloomed with ten thousand golden lights, attempting to lift the Human King Seal. The power of compassion transformed into a million Sanskrit characters, trying to purify the Human King’s malevolent Qi on the seal.

However, the Human King Seal suddenly lit up, erupting with dazzling light and emitting roars that shook the universe. Profound Yellow Qi spread out, crushing the Sanskrit characters one by one.

After only three breaths of stalemate, fine cracks began to appear on the knuckles of the powerful Great Luo Buddha Hand, and its golden light dimmed a bit.

Yet, the Human King Seal remained as stable as Mount Tai, its Profound Yellow Qi growing stronger, actually forcing the Buddha Hand to retreat by half a step.

The cracks on the Buddha Hand’s surface spread at a visible speed, and the golden light receded like a tide, revealing the slightly illusory palm body beneath.

The Human King Seal, on the other hand, continued to advance with an unstoppable Aura, as if it intended to completely suppress this entire world.

”Not good...!”

Kong Chen’s expression changed dramatically. He hastily tried to withdraw and evade, but it was too late.

With a bang!

Kong Chen was directly sent flying by the Human King Seal, his entire body’s bones fractured, and some stark white bone fragments even pierced through his flesh, his blood instantly staining his entire body.

He finally crashed into the ground, creating a crater several hundred meters in diameter.

This was because Kong Chen’s Physical Body was sturdy and powerful; otherwise, a normal Cultivator would have been directly smashed into a pile of flesh by Wang Teng.

The next moment, Wang Teng, seizing his advantage, leapt up and, like a falling meteor, slammed down fiercely towards Kong Chen.

Kong Chen, located in the center of the crater, saw this and his expression changed dramatically. He endured the intense pain in his body, quickly dodged to the side, barely avoiding Wang Teng’s attack.

However, he was still sent flying by the impact wave generated when Wang Teng landed.

”Bastard!”

”Demon Subduing Staff...!”

As Kong Chen was flying sideways, his palm clenched in the Void Realm, and a Demon Subduing Staff immediately appeared in his hand.

”Today, I shall use this Demon Subduing Staff to subdue you, this Devil Head!”

As Kong Chen’s words fell, his body surged with rolling magical power, all of it injected into the Demon Subduing Staff.

He then spat out a mouthful of vital blood, smearing it onto the staff’s body.

In an instant, the Demon Subduing Staff in his hand grew even hotter. The Sanskrit characters that had once suppressed countless demons and monsters now flowed with golden light like living things, even tearing a golden streak through the dark clouds in the sky.

The next moment, the Demon Subduing Staff suddenly soared into the air, its size expanding to dozens of feet tall. Hundreds of Buddha phantoms emerged on its bronze surface, and the sound of chanting shook the loose stones on the ground.

”Om...!”

Accompanied by a hum that echoed throughout this world, the Demon Subduing Staff transformed into a golden pillar of light, connecting Heaven and Earth, and pressed down towards Wang Teng.

”Haha! So, you’ve branded me a demon already? If that’s the case, then today I shall be a demon!”

”Three Killing Extinction Sword Canon, First Killing, Blood Hell Burning Heavens!”

Wang Teng sneered, grasping the Only My Dao Sword, and with a single swing... dark red demonic flames surged from the Sword’s body, transforming into towering waves of fire that swept across the sky.

Innumerable struggling vengeful spirits seemed to appear within the flames, charred and broken limbs flew in the air, and scalding magma seeped from the cracked earth, turning a hundred miles of fertile land into a magma Hell.

Scarlet Sword Qi and dark red demonic flames intertwined, forming a hundred-zhang-diameter destructive Domain. Space twisted in the high temperature, and even the falling ashes carried a potent poison that corroded the Divine Soul.

Wang Teng stood proudly in the center of the purgatory, his white robes fluttering, his eyes extremely cold. Where his Sword’s edge pointed, it seemed as if this entire world would be incinerated into nothingness.

Rumble...!

The Demon Subduing Staff and the Blood Hell Sword clashed fiercely.

Deafening explosions tore through the sky, as golden Buddhist light and scarlet demonic flames erupted into a massive energy vortex in mid-air.

The clouds within a hundred-mile radius were instantly swept clean, mountains trembled violently in the shockwave, and the ground cracked into bottomless ravines.

The golden light of the Sanskrit characters on the Demon Subduing Staff surged, attempting to suppress and refine the Blood Hell Sword.

However, the Blood Hell Sword let out piercing roars, fiercely resisting the Demon Subduing Staff.

Two completely different forces furiously annihilated each other between Heaven and Earth.

Space rippled under the tearing of the two forces, with black spatial cracks occasionally appearing and closing, the terrifying Aura leaking out rendering the ground below barren.

When the final thunderous explosion erupted, a sky full of light rain fell like meteors. The Demon Subduing Staff completely shattered, transforming into countless light particles and dissipating between Heaven and Earth.

And the Blood Hell Sword instantly tore through Kong Chen’s body, blood splattering, a gruesome sight.

Kong Chen was defeated, and it was a crushing defeat.

”Impossible... How can this be? I am the Buddha Son of Tianlong Temple; I should be unrivaled among my peers! How could I lose to someone of the same generation?”

”Who are you? Who exactly are you?”

Kong Chen cried out in agony, looking at Wang Teng with disbelief.

He had intended to take this opportunity to deal with Wang Teng.

But he had never expected that he would actually be defeated by Wang Teng, and so miserably at that.

Most importantly, he had never heard of such a remarkably talented and brilliant person like Wang Teng in Lüzhou. This was highly abnormal...
