The smoke and dust dissipated.

The Evil Cultivator Buddha, an Incarnation of Du Cheng, covered the weak point mark on his back neck with one hand, glaring menacingly at the crowd above the river valley.

"Ants... this is just a dying struggle!"

Du Cheng let out an evil laugh.

Jiang Lingfeng, below the river valley, connected his spirit umbrella to Du Cheng, and the Buddha's health instantly refilled.

"Junior Brother Mu, Elder Li... you two go wait above the river valley. The rest, leave it to us!"

Zhong Yi took a big step forward, blocking Mu Yawen and Li Jiujian behind him.

Four giant black Buddhas flanked the Evil Cultivator Buddha.

This was the first step in Zhong Yi's battle plan.

The four Buddhas would protect the other players from being grabbed.

Players with long-range weapons would stand above the river valley and fire at the weak point, creating suppressive fire.

This way, the most troublesome Buddha would no longer be so unresolvable.

"Petty tricks!"

Du Cheng roared.

How could he not see the names hidden behind the four Buddhas in his vision?

This meant that the Buddhas in front were just meat shields.

Meat shields used to withstand the double grab.

The real killing Move was the group of Cultivators behind him.

Zhong Yi and the other three's mission was just to escort them around the Buddha.

At that time, they could overwhelm him with a human wave tactic!

Du Cheng looked at the crowd with disdain.

The information that the great formation could modify in the Illusion Realm was limited.

For example, if he modified the Buddha's grabbing speed and distance, he couldn't have the super-fast movement speed, attack speed, and infinite block that Jiang Lingfeng used with Hu Tao.

However, in repeated tests, Du Cheng found a limit range.

That is, the maximum modification that could be done in a short time when transforming into a Buddha.

"Heh heh... it seems I'll have to use that Move."

Du Cheng sneered.

With that, one golden rune after another lit up around his body.

Du Cheng turned his body sideways, lowering his center of gravity.

Following a burst of flashing runes,

golden rune palms continuously attacked Zhong Yi and the other three at an extremely fast speed!

"!!"

Zhong Yi's eyes widened suddenly.

Dense golden giant fists, carrying terrifying killing intent, surged towards him like a tide.

A sense of impending death welled up in his heart.

But Zhong Yi, including the other three Buddha players, did not retreat a single step!

"Hold on!!"

Zhong Yi protected his head with his arms, gritted his teeth, and charged forward.

Although the Buddha's attack would not grab other Buddhas, it would cause slight damage.

Under such dense shadowless fist attacks, the four people's health was instantly shattered.

"Ugh..."

"Ah!!"

The other three Buddhas screamed one after another, falling on their way forward and turning into soul mounds.

Zhong Yi's health bar was like a candle in the wind, about to die at any moment.

At the same time, Du Cheng's attack stopped.

It wasn't that he intentionally held back, but that this attack had reached its limit at this point.

If he continued to use it, he would face the risk of the great formation collapsing.

The golden runes that had been flashing around him suddenly dimmed.

Zhong Yi keenly noticed this and shouted loudly to the crowd behind him: "This Move probably cannot be used again for a short time... Now is a good opportunity to defeat the Evil Cultivator! Everyone, charge!!"

"Kill!!!"

A deafening roar came from behind.

Dozens of players, with bloodshot eyes, charged towards the Buddha.

At this moment, all the Cultivators were united in their hatred, their intentions as one.

Flashes of blades and swords flew out.

The entire Tianren River Valley shook. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Li Mozhan, hidden among the crowd, took a deep breath, unleashed a grappling hook, and flew directly towards Du Cheng.

Her target was the weak point on the Evil Cultivator Buddha's back neck.

The Evil Cultivator Buddha, whose movements had been stagnant, suddenly curled his lips into an evil smile.

The golden runes around him lit up again.

"Do you think... I will lose!?"

A golden rune palm grabbed towards Li Mozhan, who was charging at the very front!

...

...

Above the river valley, the Cultivators holding various long-range weapons, after repairing their durability, once again aimed at the Evil Cultivator Buddha below.

Just then, a strange figure appeared in the center of the crowd.

"Have you... forgotten about me?"

Jiang Lingfeng sneered, swung the long sword in his hand, and two extremely fast Sword Qi instantly swept down a group of unprepared Cultivators.

The great formation modified by Du Cheng pushed the Buddha's various attributes to the extreme.

Jiang Lingfeng, on the other hand, pushed the human form's combat attributes to the extreme.

Among all martial arts, speed is paramount.

Jiang Lingfeng's Hu Tao focused on speed.

Movement speed, attack speed, parry speed, drawing speed...

Unnaturally fast.

In just an instant, several Sword Qi were launched consecutively.

The long-range attack group above the river valley suffered heavy casualties.

Just as he was about to continue the slaughter, a loud shout suddenly came to his ears:

"Rage Incineration!"

In his peripheral vision, Jiang Lingfeng caught a glimpse of a fiery red light.

Then a cold light attacked from a blind spot.

"Clang!"

Jiang Lingfeng didn't need to operate; under the great formation's operation, he automatically drew his sword and parried the attack.

"Again!!"

Zhou Yue's blade became even faster.

"Seeking death!"

Jiang Lingfeng glared angrily, and two Sword Qi instantly flew out from the long sword in his hand.

Zhou Yue's reaction was incredibly swift; he parried by sight, directly entering golden Domination.

"Oh? Another True Disciple?"

Jiang Lingfeng sneered and flashed away.

"What I like most... is to crush you True Disciples who don't follow the Righteous Path!"

With that, he pushed the efficiency of the great formation to its limit.

Jiang Lingfeng threw away the long sword whose durability had run out and pulled out a Tang sword, just like Zhou Yue's.

His blade,

was much faster than Zhou Yue's!

...

...

Below the river valley.

Li Mozhan's heart sank when she saw the Buddha's golden arm attacking her.

Zhong Yi had already introduced the Evil Cultivator Buddha's Moves.

Ignores distance, 100% grab!

Even so, Li Mozhan was still one who ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) would not give up easily.

She rolled in mid-air and landed, quickly dodging and weaving.

In half a breath's time, she had already horizontally deviated from the palm's grabbing path.

This extremely fast reaction would earn anyone's admiration.

However, Du Cheng curled his lips, and the golden palm actually curved in mid-air, grabbing towards Li Mozhan again.

At this critical moment, Li Mozhan no longer hesitated, and a cold Qi rose from her Dantian.

With the release of the Ice Heart Art, her entire being transformed into an ice sculpture, evading the Buddha's grab this time.

Seeing the palm disappear, Li Mozhan immediately broke out of the ice, looking coldly at the Evil Cultivator Buddha.

"Oh? Such a reaction? Not bad, not bad..."

Du Cheng praised with a click of his tongue.

"But next time? My grabs are infinite, and you... heh heh."

With that, he shook his head, his eyes filled with both pity and mockery.

"If you were to integrate your cultivation into the Illusion Realm like me, perhaps you could fight... What a pity."

Li Mozhan remained unmoved.

She swung the long sword she had just drawn, her gaze as cold as if Gu Qinghan had possessed her.

Countless icy True Qi surged around her.

The next moment, she charged straight towards Du Cheng.

"Stubborn... Die!"

Du Cheng snorted coldly, and another golden rune palm appeared behind him.

His rune palms were endless.

But Gu Qinghan's Ice Heart Art had a cooldown limit!

This time, he felt he was sure to win!

But what puzzled him was that this Lingxiao Sect Genius True Disciple, always known for her calmness, would choose such a suicidal attack, which truly baffled him.

At this moment, Li Mozhan's mind was clear, her eyes fixed on Du Cheng's every Move.

'If it just attacks with its palm... I will surely die, won't I?'

'If it were him, what would he do?'

Li Mozhan vaguely recalled various details from her one-on-one fight with Lu Ze.

Du Cheng attacked.

The golden rune palm grabbed straight towards Li Mozhan.

Li Mozhan took a deep breath, showing no intention of backing down, but instead accelerated her steps.

'Just as Senior Brother Zhong predicted.'

'Then...'

'I can only trust the others.'

Just as the golden palm was about to grab Li Mozhan,

a figure, with the sound of a grappling hook, blocked in front of Li Mozhan and was firmly grabbed by the golden rune palm.

"True Disciple Li... The great task of slaying the immortal, I leave to you!!"
