The sound of Buddhist chants filled the air, enveloping Mount Song in an atmosphere of solemnity and reverence.

The wishes of all beings surged forth like a tide, causing the eighteen-foot Buddha's golden body behind Peacock Ming King to shine ever more splendid and sacred, as if united with all beings under heaven.

"Dong!!"

The ancient golden bell suspended above Peacock Ming King's head let out a majestic chime once again.

"Ha!"

With a handsome face illuminated by the light of the golden body of the eighteen-foot Buddha behind, Peacock Ming King gave a soft shout, his sharp eyes emitting an intimidating divine glow, as he lightly raised his hand.

As he raised his hand, the eighteen-foot Buddha's golden body followed suit, lifting its hand.

"Om!!"

The surging wishes of all beings multiplied in speed, finally coalescing into a resplendent golden Demon-Subduing Pestle on the Buddha's hand.

"Hum!!"

The golden body of the Buddha emitted an imposing Buddhist sound, radiating boundless Buddha Light, as though a true Buddha had descended upon the world, ready to save all sentient beings!

However, in the earthly realm, great devils sow chaos among beings, obstinately clinging to their illusions. Even the Buddha can be furious, with a Vajra's angry gaze!

Thus, the golden body of the Buddha raised its hand holding the Demon-Subduing Pestle and slowly advanced upon Mu Jinyu with force!

One strike, intent on destroying the world and subduing demons!

"Boom!!"

With that, the void shattered, unimaginable terrifying divine power coursed towards Mu Jinyu with a roar!

"Huh?!"

Confronted by this wrathful strike from the Buddha, Mu Jinyu's complexion slightly changed, for this strike had reached the power of the Mid Hedao Realm!

And Peacock Ming King's cultivation was only at the Mid-Stage of the Fanxu Realm.

"Clang!!"

At the critical moment, Mu Jinyu summoned the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, instantly expanding it several times over to encompass himself and Sheng Rulai within.

"Dong!!"

The Dragon Phoenix Cauldron fiercely endured the Demon-Subduing Pestle's strike, letting out a slight tremulous sound, as the ancient, weathered bronze cauldron's body displayed the ornate designs of the dragon and phoenix revered by all beings. At that moment, it seemed as if they awakened from slumber.

"Roar!"

"Screech!!"

The dragon's roar and the phoenix's cry; two divine beast phantoms leapt forth from the cauldron, rushing toward the Demon-Subduing Pestle intent on destruction!

"Boom!"

Formed by the wishes of all beings, the Demon-Subduing Pestle was no match for the spirit of a Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasure.

It immediately turned to ash!

"Om!!"

With the Demon-Subduing Pestle's destruction, the golden body of the eighteen-foot Buddha standing behind Peacock Ming King quivered slightly, nearly crumbling!

"A Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasure?! How could this be?"

Realizing the transformation of the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, Peacock Ming King instantly understood that it was also a Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasure, causing his face to change dramatically, no longer able to maintain his previous solemn stance.

"Dong!"

Yet, Peacock Ming King was no ordinary person; he regained his composure promptly, urgently activating the Buddhist Bell above his head to produce a grand and solemn chime.

Immediately, the sounds of the chime resonated as if substantial, warding off the dragon's roar and phoenix's cry, calming the trembling eighteen-foot Buddha.

"Dragon King, impressive skills, once more!"

Peacock Ming King's eyes flashed with divine light, forming a Buddha Seal with his hands, accompanied by a soft shout, as he lifted his palm, striking towards Mu Jinyu!

"Boom!!"

As he struck, the eighteen-foot Buddha behind him raised its palm as well.

Simultaneously, the surging wishes of all beings coalesced into a resplendent "Swastika" character on the Buddha's palm.

This palm, imbued with the wishes of all beings, accompanied by the surrounding Buddhist chants, resembled the Divine Tathagata Palm, sweeping toward Mu Jinyu majestically.

As it is said, pulling a single hair and affecting the whole body, as the Divine Tathagata Palm thunderously came forth, the wishes of all beings from heaven no longer surged towards Peacock Ming King but converged from all directions toward Mu Jinyu as one!

In an instant, every path was blocked for Mu Jinyu!

"Haha..."

Mu Jinyu knew that by activating the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, he could easily unravel Peacock Ming King's strike, but upon witnessing the golden body of the Buddha behind Peacock Ming King and the boundless Buddha Light, he opted not to unleash the treasure's power to counter the attack!

He considered that, with Peacock Ming King now representing Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere and using divine skills from the Buddhist Sect, as the Hall Master of Dragon King Hall, he ought to resist with the power of the Dragon King!

"Roar!"

In an instant, a hundred-foot-long Five-Clawed Golden Dragon flew from behind Mu Jinyu, its immense form filling the horizon, its divine aura grand and mighty!

It was the Divine Dragon Soul that Mu Jinyu had condensed during the Hidden Dragon Conference!

Logically speaking, this Dragon Soul, formed by the Dragon Vein Qi Luck of Kunlun Ruins, should dissipate on its own after Mu Jinyu left Kunlun Ruins...

Yet, for some unknown reason, after Mu Jinyu's departure from Kunlun Ruins, this Dragon Soul still lay dormant within him, seemingly inseparable from him.

With the manifestation of the Divine Dragon, the Dragon's Might surged, instantly severing the looming wishes from all beings, freeing Mu Jinyu from his plight.

Subsequently, the dragon's piercing eyes fixed upon the eighteen-foot Buddha, those resplendent eyes exuding a disdainful look with spiritual nature.

With a roar, the dragon contorted its large yet nimble body, executing the Dragon Tail Swing.

Even the weakest-looking Dragon Tail was a lot larger than the Buddha's golden body's hand.

With a single strike, not only did it shatter the Divine Tathagata Palm, but it completely smashed the Buddha's golden body behind Peacock Ming King!

"Boom!!"

Buddha Light burst forth, scattering everywhere.

"Puh!"

Peacock Ming King suffered from the backlash of his destroyed golden body, spewing a mouthful of blood uncontrollably, his aura waning, face resembling g=Gold paper.

"How could this be?!"

Peacock Ming King's previously fierce eyes showed no trace of their sharpness, only astonishment and incredulity.

He believed that gathering the wishes of all beings with that move should have been unstoppable, even against someone at Mid Hedao Realm.

Unless... it surpassed into the Late Stage Hedao Realm!

Could it be... Mu Jinyu had already reached the Late Stage Hedao Realm?!

Unable to accept this outcome, Peacock Ming King's handsome face contorted slightly with rage, clenching his hands, he let out a fierce howl!

"Ah!!!"

The shout shook the heavens, prompting thousands of leaves and countless small creatures across Mount Song and Sichuan to tremble and scatter chaotically!

Following a swift "swish!", endless radiant green and blue feathers emerged behind Peacock Ming King.

It was his innate divine ability, Peacock Spreading Its Tail!

One by one, the beautiful peacock feathers extended behind Peacock Ming King, like Thousand-Handed Guanyin spreading its thousand arms, with countless peacock feathers shrouding the sun and sky.

With eyes resembling transforming into genuine Demon Eyes, the feathers glowed with eerie demonic light, mesmerizing all who beheld them.

Monks surrounding Peacock Ming King who were chanting Buddhist scriptures ceased their chanted mantras, staring intently at those Peacock feathers amidst the growing torrent of wishes, furiously surged towards him.

In a swift motion, Peacock Spreading Its Tail cast forth a dazzling Five Colored Divine Light, forcefully surging towards Mu Jinyu with an indomitable stance.

Faced with this attack, Mu Jinyu maintained a calm and collected demeanor, while the hundred-foot Golden Dragon with its world-shaking dragon might once again twirled and executed the Dragon Tail Swing!

"Bang!!"

With a single strike, the Five-Colored Light shattered.

Subsequently, the residual power of the dragon tail, undiminished, hit the enormous Peacock Ming King whose body reached dozens of feet tall after spreading its tail.

"Puh!!"

Peacock Ming King was struck as if by lightning, vomiting blood profusely, sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string under the dragon tail's strike!
