Chapter 558 Sattva's Twelve Evils Are All Empty
Bai Ze's arrogance angered the Red Sun Dharma King.
But the meaning behind his words made the Red Sun Dharma King feel cold and gloomy.
The reason for this was that the person before them seemed to have arrived with orders from the Martial Arts Association... or rather, the God of War. His statement about wiping out the entire family indicated that the God of War was already filled with murderous intent.
"In the end, we have to go through with it."
The Red Sun Dharma King slowly calmed the distracting thoughts in his mind, leaving only firm resolve.
The God of War's decision to kill him is the worst possible outcome. However, sending Bai Ze also shows that the God of War truly cannot muster any stronger fighting force at this moment.
With the Shinra Empire eyeing them covetously and the Western Alliance entering the fray, the God of War and a host of Heavenly Gate experts are forced to confront the enemy's powerful forces on the front lines.
This is much better than the original expectation that someone from Daxing Temple would come.
Thinking of this, the Red Sun Dharma King's mind stirred, and the Wish-Fulfilling Dharma King beside him immediately understood.
"Such arrogance."
The Dharma King Ruyi waved his sleeves and made a mudra with his hand, turning it in both directions.
A vast amount of true essence surged from his palm, but it all vanished into nothingness the moment he struck, leaving only a mysterious, powerful force that pressed down on Bai Ze.
The ultimate technique of Kalachakra: the Great Seal of Emptiness and Form.
This technique originates from existence, enters into non-existence, and is completed in emptiness. It is invisible, formless, and without appearance, yet it reaches everywhere.
It was invisible to the eye, imperceptible to the ear, and even difficult to detect with divine sense. The only thing that could be sensed was an ominous force pressing down from the sky.
As the attack was launched, the might of the giant spirit of the Time Wheel Palace descended simultaneously, suppressing Bai Ze's power.
Combined, even a ten-star martial artist would likely find it difficult to discern the true form of this Void-Colored Great Handprint.
But Bai Ze doesn't need to figure it out.
"Return to nothingness".
Amidst whispers, the mist surged forth, and the invisible force pressing down from the sky transformed into billowing mist, surging towards the Ruyi Dharma King who was attacking with the momentum.
The Ruyi Dharma King originally intended to start with the "Great Seal of Emptiness and Color," taking advantage of the situation to get closer and disrupt the confrontation between Bai Ze and the Azure Giant Spirit with a continuous barrage of attacks, thus gaining the upper hand.
Unexpectedly, his "Void Color Great Handprint" was so easily neutralized, and the attack seemed to have been delivered to his doorstep.
At that moment, the Dharma King's body was fixed, completely violating the laws of motion and ignoring inertia, he flew backward.
He appeared aggressive, but in reality, he was testing the waters; he was actually quite cautious by nature.
Seeing that his opponent had easily broken his move, the Dharma King Ruyi decisively retreated.
However, as he retreated, his gaze swept over Bai Ze's location, and in the instant their eyes met, he suddenly felt that the world before him had stopped moving, and time had halted its ever-forward march.
"the world."
The divine power above the Ruyi Dharma King suppressed all his senses, even the workings of his mind, freezing him in a state of stagnant time.
At the critical moment, a spell suddenly rang out.
"Om!"
The stillness of heaven and earth in the eyes of the Dharma King instantly shattered, and the sound of chanting echoed like the morning bell and evening drum, causing the mind to flow and break free from the stagnant time.
At the same time, the Dharma King was horrified to discover that the dazzling divine light was already very close.
"Well!"
The Red Sun Dharma King appeared beside the Wish-Fulfilling Dharma King as if shrinking the earth to an inch, his hands forming the Great Vajra Wheel Mudra, using it to guard the treasure and resist the divine light's three secret blessings of body, speech, and mind. The mandala suddenly appeared, forming a protective wheel altar, colliding with the divine light.
In an instant, golden light shattered, and the mandala phantom formed by the Vajra Wheel Seal rapidly collapsed.
The Red Sun Dharma King narrowed his eyes to almost slits to hide the shock in them, and his hand gestures changed rapidly.
"Nirvana!"
The remaining part of the six-syllable mantra was recited in one breath. The Red Sun Dharma King spread his ten fingers, touched the fingertips, and formed a circle with his palms facing outwards. The sun wheel mudra appeared in response to the recitation.
A dazzling red light emanated from the circle between his hands, like the rising sun, with a torrent of intense sunlight surging forth.
"boom-"
'
The collision of light created air currents that shook the plaza.
The divine light, struck by a powerful blow, immediately underwent a transformation. Seven colors swirled and intertwined, eventually transforming into a dark aura that surged forth.
The great red light of the sun clashed with it, but there was no sound at all; it simply vanished silently, inch by inch.
Seeing this, the Red Sun Dharma King grabbed the shoulder of the Wish-Fulfilling Dharma King, and the two figures flickered in and out of focus, suddenly retreating several feet away.
After extinguishing the red light of the great sun, the dark divine light followed the aura and swept across the sky like a dragon.
"boom!"
The divine light crashed into the erected energy shield. The Kalachakra Palace shook like a raging beast, with crimson flames blazing on the energy shield, finally blocking the divine light.
Seeing the divine light stop just before him, the Dharma King Ruyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Even as a dignified nine-star martial artist, he felt a lingering sense of fear.
With just one glance, he was utterly defeated, leaving him powerless to resist.
No matter how many tricks or methods you use, they are all useless because even your thoughts are frozen.
If it weren't for the timely rescue by the Red Sun Dharma King, he would probably be dead on the spot by now.
Even whether the body exists is unknown.
Thinking this through, the Dharma King looked at the figure in the mist without any sense of underestimation.
"Not bad."
Amidst the mist, Bai Ze leisurely remarked, "The purity of his true essence ranks among the top of the ten stars I have ever seen."
The innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements divine light will silently extinguish the great sun's red light, not because it is weak, but rather because it is strong enough.
If the true essence is not pure enough and contains impurities, then when it is attacked by divine light, its own structure will become unstable, which will lead to an explosion.
Conversely, if it is pure enough, it will vanish silently, like what happened just now, without any aftereffects.
That's why it's not bad.
At least compared to Xuehai Zhenren and Eckert, he is indeed not inferior.
"But if that's all there is to it, then you can rest assured and go."
As Bai Ze spoke, divine light emanated from his body.
After a brief probing, Bai Ze was able to confirm that the other side did not have any Heavenly Gate warriors in their ranks.
The Immovable One has already gone to the Western Alliance with the Three Worlds Venerable One, while the Heavenly Gate Warrior from the True Word Temple went to the Buddhist Kingdom before the war even started and it seems he has not yet returned.
If that's the case, then what else is there to worry about?
A sense of crisis instantly captured the mind of the Red Sun Dharma King.
He didn't even have time to think before he instinctively formed the hand seal.
"Immovable King Seal".
"6
When the enlightened king enters into meditation, heaven and earth remain unmoved.
Use your mindset to crush your mindset, and your will to crush your will.
Bai Ze's eyes shone brightly, and the divine light emanating from his body fluctuated rapidly.
The concept of state of mind is both mysterious and simple. It can be a moment of enlightenment that transcends the mundane world, or it can take a hundred years of cultivation to achieve.
Before the martial arts era, Earth had also seen beings with extraordinary mental states. Those ancient sages, such as the founders of Buddhism and Taoism, had the same physical strength as ordinary people, but their mental state was comparable to that of a strong person who had broken through the Heavenly Gate of the Heart.
It's even possible that we'll win.
In essence, it doesn't involve power; it only depends on your mind.
Having already learned this move from Venerable Kunchali, Bai Ze reacted almost immediately.
"To be free from deluded dreams is to attain Nirvana."
Through the practice of wisdom, one can break free from false perceptions and illusions, and attain a state of inner purity and liberation. This is the spiritual realm described in the Buddhist classic, the Heart Sutra, which encapsulates the spiritual insights of ancient sages.
What Bai Ze had to do was copy the homework.
The moment his words became law, the state of liberation and Nirvana, where the six senses were purified, manifested. Bai Ze, enveloped in divine light, suddenly exuded a transcendent aura.
Even the divine light that blended Yin and Yang and the Five Elements had gained a touch of purity and holiness.
The Red Sun Dharma King was shocked to discover that not only had he failed to overpower Bai Ze's mindset, but he had also been overpowered by Bai Ze.
"Lord of the charnel ground."
He gritted his teeth and persevered, while his mind surged violently as he called upon his allies.
"Hehehe 1"
Hehehehe—
—"
The illusion of a skeleton appeared behind the Red Sun Dharma King, and the strange laughter of the charnel ground master and his wife echoed in his mind, their wills communicating with the Red Sun Dharma King at the same time.
Bai Ze, who had the upper hand, was met with an extremely vicious attack.
The turbid will, imbued with bloodshed and gloom, stands in stark contrast to the serene Buddhist mindset, representing a different realm altogether.
Extreme turbidity may not necessarily be a bad state of mind; it simply doesn't align with the mainstream mindset and belongs to the opposite path.
"Emptiness".
"Anger and suffering."
A hollow cry echoed through Bai Ze's mind, while crimson karmic fire burned within him.
At the same time, the Dharma King Shanlu and the Dharma King Ruyi moved in different directions, one like an elephant crossing a river, and the other like a lotus flower, attacking from both sides.
The aura of the Wish-Fulfilling Dharma King spread across the sky, merging into the void, and the Great Hand Seal of Emptiness and Color surged forth like a tidal wave.
The Dharma King Shanlu was covered in a golden-iron color, and a Vajra dagger flew out from his sleeve. The dagger was used to eliminate afflictions; before the blade arrived, the intent of the dagger was already there, slaying thoughts.
The power of the Kalachakra Palace manifested in both of them simultaneously. The sword intent that dispelled afflictions slashed into Bai Ze's mind, followed by the Void Handprint that fiercely bombarded the divine light.
"Bomb One"
The divine light overcame the void and color of the great hand seal, and the energy exploded and poured out.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, King Shanlu arrived with his knife. The Vajra Precept Knife cut through the gravitational field with the force of non-interference, "Vajra."
Vajra is the weapon of Indra in Buddhist legend, and also the name of the supernatural power of the Good Law King.
At the same time, the dark skin of the Good Law King turned indigo, his eyes turned completely red, and the dagger in his hand shone with golden light, rubbing against the gravitational field and bursting forth with lightning.
At this time, Bai Ze was under pressure from the mental states of the Red Sun Dharma King and the Lord of the Shituo Forest, which affected the circulation of his true essence and made his divine light less radiant than before.
With the blessing of the Dharma King's supernatural powers and the assistance of the Kalachakra Palace, the weapon, like Indra's weapon, blasted a gap in the gravitational field.
The Wish-Fulfilling Dharma King arrived with overwhelming power, his unparalleled strength penetrating the breach.
"boom!"
Bai Ze raised his palm to meet the Void Color Handprint, and with his other hand, a sword blade shot out from behind him, colliding with the Monk's Blade.
The sword energy was unleashed, slaying the thunder and causing a deafening roar to echo endlessly.
But the Red Sun Dharma King seized the opportunity to attack at that moment.
He spread his hands apart, revealing three heads and six arms. His body was dyed a fiery red, his form swelled, and his powerful arms formed a hand seal. Two skeletal hands appeared on his left and right sides respectively.
Two skulls appeared on either side of his shoulders. The Lord of the Stigmata Forest let out a sharp laugh, attacking his mind, while the Red Sun Dharma King guided the power of the Kalachakra Palace.
The hands form an inner binding mudra, then an outer binding mudra, and then an inner binding mudra again, flowing in and out, drawing in a powerful energy.
The colossal blue spirit above the Kalachakra Palace arrived with raging flames, slamming a massive handprint onto the rotating stars.
"Thump"
The attacks from all four directions targeted Bai Ze's mind, strength, and spirit, aiming to distract him and prevent him from fully unleashing the power of his unbreakable divine light.
Under pressure from multiple sides, Bai Ze, who had remained unmoved until now, finally retreated.
"good!"
The Dharma King shouted loudly, his hands waving. His left palm was square and heavy, as if chopping or looking, while his right palm was agile and ethereal.
With the interplay of strength and gentleness, yin and yang, and the Great Handprint of Emptiness and Color, an invisible and powerful force forms a raging wind that combines opposing forces and sweeps in.
The Law King of Good Law is one with his sword, moving like light and lightning, pursuing and slaying. Violent lightning flashes as he swings his sword, moving swiftly and violently, destroying everything in his path.
Bai Ze retaliated with divine light, but the eerie laughter of the Lord of the Corpse Forest followed him like a shadow, constantly weighing on Bai Ze's mind and preventing him from being distracted.
Even if words become law, it still consumes mental energy, and Bai Ze's mental energy is currently mostly restrained due to the attack on his mental state.
It must be said that this method of attacking from different angles is very effective.
Therefore, "integration is necessary."
Bai Ze's thoughts flashed, and he suddenly withdrew his divine light, transforming his true essence into Buddhist energy, with the sound of Buddhist chants appearing all over his body.
If the opponent attacks from multiple directions and you cannot attend to all of them, then you should focus all your energy on one aspect: your mindset.
"Seek enlightenment with wisdom, and save all sentient beings with compassion; this is the six perfections of Mahayana Buddhism, the Bodhisattva."
Bai Ze sheathed his sword, shifted his focus to the Buddha Kingdom in his palm, and used his words to convey the Dharma, integrating his pure state of mind into his true essence.
Countless lotus blossoms materialized out of thin air, forming a golden lotus wall in front of him.
"All twelve evils of Sattva are empty."
A storm embodying both yin and yang, the Vajra Blade that flashes like lightning, and the power of the Kalachakra Temple all simultaneously bombarded the Lotus Wall.
The earth-shattering explosion reverberated across the mountaintop, causing changes in the celestial phenomena and turbulent winds and clouds.
Yet, amidst this cataclysmic upheaval, the Lotus Wall remained steadfast and unmoved!
"What?"
"How is that possible?"
The Dharma King of Good Law and the Dharma King of Wish-Fulfilling watched this scene in disbelief, while the spiritual thoughts of the Dharma King of Red Sun and the Lord of the charnel ground also fluctuated wildly.
The combined attack from multiple forces, targeting the mind, strength, and spirit, was actually withstood by Bai Ze single-handedly.
All twelve evils are empty; purify all evils and transform them into emptiness.
Esoteric Buddhism emphasizes the three secrets of body, speech, and mind for blessings. Other martial arts practitioners also have the concept of the three harmonies of mind, intention, and qi. When a martial artist practices qigong, the mind and intention must be in harmony, and the intention and qi must be in harmony, so that the true qi can be controlled as easily as one's own arm.
Even after true qi leaves the body, it can still be controlled by the martial artist because the martial artist's will is in control.
The twelve evils of Sa are all extinguished, which means that all the malice of the attack is purified.
Once the intent to attack is purified, the technique loses its guiding will and becomes nothing more than a large mass of energy. Both its power and artistic conception will be greatly reduced, making it easily blocked.
This is Bai Ze's method of dealing with attacks from multiple directions, using mental techniques.
