Though Tai Yu was not proficient in Magic, he possessed the highest authority over the Great Heavenly Cloud Forbidden True Thunder Array, allowing him to burst out of the array almost instantly.
Above the Daluo Sect's gate, a great sun erged, blazing intensely for thousands of miles, its majestic presence blocking the golden river.
The river and the sun collided, rendering the world silent.
Imdiately, a mirror-like surface expanded from the point of collision, sweeping away the cloud sea.
The River Guardian Heavenly King, clad in a monk's robe, tread upon the river, stepping out from the void.
Tai Yu, wearing a Daoist robe with long hair billowing, stood in the air like a sun soaring in the sky, confronting the Heavenly King.
Having narrowly escaped death, Zhou Xuanwo flew to Tai Yu's side, urgently cupping his hands in salute:
"Thank you, Master Tai Yu, for your tily rescue!"
All four of his array flags had already been tainted by Martial Arts True Intent. Had Tai Yu arrived just a second later, he would be a dead man.
Tai Yu ignored Zhou Xuanwo behind him, continuing to fix his gaze on the River Guardian Heavenly King ahead.
For years, the struggle between the Taoist and Buddhist factions had continued. Tai Yu was the champion of Taoist Martial Arts, while the River Guardian Heavenly King was the champion of Buddhist Martial Arts.
The two had always been compared by many people.
Was 'Buddhist Martial' stronger than 'Daoist Martial,' or was 'Daoist Martial' superior to 'Buddhist Martial'?
Even Tai Yu himself had thought about finding an opportunity to spar with the River Guardian Heavenly King.
Unfortunately, before he could find such an opportunity, the Daluo Sect had closed its gates.
Now, eting the River Guardian Heavenly King outside the Daluo Sect's gate, there was a hint of relief and anticipation in Tai Yu's eyes.
"Master Tai Yu..."
The River Guardian Heavenly King naturally wanted to speak.
But before he could finish, Tai Yu interrupted him:
"No need for words. Since fate has brought us together today, face in battle!"
With that, Tai Yu stepped forward, launching a punch at the River Guardian Heavenly King's face!
Zhou Xuanwo, witnessing this, showed an expression of delight.
Not only had Tai Yu rescued him, but he also directly engaged the River Guardian Heavenly King.
This was undoubtedly the best outco for the Da Lan Dynasty!
"Master Tai Yu..."
The River Guardian Heavenly King frowned. He naturally did not wish to clash with Tai Yu, as the outco was not what he desired.
Yet, facing the incoming punch from Tai Yu, he had no choice but to confront it.
BOOM—!!!
The right fists of the two Martial Saints collided, like a Heavenly God's hamr pounding a great drum.
Above the sky do, a great sun shone over the golden river.
Under its light, silhouettes representing the True Intent of Buddhist Martial Arts dissipated within the river, like lting snow under the scorching sun.
Taoism—Great Sun Soaring!
When my fist strikes, the great sun soars high.
Every Martial Artist must bow down!
This Taoism is characterized by indomitability, utmost brightness, and utmost strength. No matter how strong the opponent's direct explosive force may be, the Great Sun Soaring enables Tai Yu to overpower them!
Except for Lin Tianyi, who possesses the Leader of the Great Dao, no other Peak Strong Person can match Tai Yu in strength or explosive power.
This is why when Tai Yu encountered Lin Tianyi, who challenged him back then, he lost so miserably.
The Leader of the Great Dao nearly perfectly counters the Great Sun Soaring!
But apart from that World's Number One, Tai Yu is confident he can overpower any other opponent!
The intense Fist Intent rampaged through the Martial Arts River, as the two Martial Saints clashed in close combat with fists and feet.
Visible ripples spread at a great height, and space buckled and twisted as if a giant stone had been tossed into a lake, with small, dense black cracks briefly appearing.
The dense cloud sea covering a hundred miles around the Daluo Sect dissipated in an instant, erased by this pure, extre, violent impact like a giant invisible hand sweeping it away.
The sky was as clear as a washed blue canvas, with no clouds in sight, leaving only the blazing sun and the surging golden river as the sole colors between heaven and earth.
The golden river beneath the River Guardian Heavenly King churned violently, no longer flowing majestically, but erupting and roaring like a pan thrown into a vat of boiling oil!
Within the river, countless figures ford from the true intent of Buddhist Martial Arts, whether compassionate, majestic, or glaring, shattered under Tai Yu's fists, only to ld back into the river.
Although Tai Yu is no Ning Qingman and cannot completely eradicate this Martial Arts True Intent from its roots, he destroys it much quicker than Ning Qingman!
The golden river beneath the River Guardian Heavenly King's feet suddenly sank, his monk robe flapped wildly, and his figure swayed slightly, as he clearly felt the overwhelming, irrepressible force, as if it sought to incinerate the desolate lands, rushing along the punch's path to crush him along with his Martial Arts True Intent!
"Amitabha."
The River Guardian Heavenly King softly recited the Buddhist na, his eyes showing no trace of panic.
He reached out to block Tai Yu's fist, the force resonating with an incomparably mystical rhythm, vibrating tens of thousands of tis in an instant. That grand and unmatched, suprely firm and bright force was skillfully guided and diffused by him.
The golden river beneath his feet no longer resisted starkly, but suddenly beca exceedingly "flexible" and "profound."
The vast river seed to transform into the mouth of the all-encompassing abyss, while also containing the ultimate softness of all the waters in the world. Tai Yu's terrifying fist, capable of collapsing mountains and evaporating rivers, thundered into the golden river, only to disappear like a clay ox into the sea.
The frenzied energy was absorbed, dispersed, and resolved in unimaginable ways by the river. Within the golden waters, countless tiny whirlpools spun madly, each one devouring and wearing down a trace of destructive power.
The entire river swelled and contracted violently, the golden light flickering uncertainly, as if on the verge of collapse. And yet, it tenaciously maintained its form, locking that earth-shattering power tightly within the flow and whirl of its waters.
From afar, the scene was awe-inspiring—
A blazing white sun, illuminating the heavens and earth, continuously bombarded an endlessly surging golden giant river with limitless light and heat, force and might.
The golden river surged and roared, its surface endlessly erupting with waves thousands of ters high, while its insides roiled with turbulent currents and whirlpools, enduring unimaginable impacts yet never breaking.
"Good!"
Tai Yu gave a long shout, his eyes brimming with battle intent.
His long hair danced wildly, his Daoist robes fluttered loudly, and the light emanating from around him grew even more dazzling.
This sun shall scorch the heavens and boil the sea!
With each exchange, the techniques of these two Martial Saints, though seemingly simple, underwent force changes thousands of tis instantly!
The force changes of the River Guardian Heavenly King were to better guide, diffuse, resolve, integrate, and even rebound.
But Tai Yu's force changes served only one purpose—to make his explosive power even stronger!
The River Guardian Heavenly King's [Ganges Martial Town] allowed him to gather the Buddhist martial legacy of a thousand years, thus his power kept increasing.
As the Guardian's power rose, Tai Yu's [Great Sun Soaring] followed suit, rising with the tide!
Underneath the River Guardian Heavenly King's feet, the golden river emitted deafening explosions, and its surface was repeatedly smashed into one massive, bottomless pit after another.
Inside the river, countless whirlpools that were frantically spinning to resolve the power were shredded and torn apart by an even more violent force!
Yet the Martial Arts River remained unbroken, sohow possessing infinite tenacity, continuously recovering the broken Martial Arts True Intent....
The clash between the two Martial Saints was magnificent, having already exchanged over a thousand moves.
"Roar——!!!"
The dark golden river suddenly let out a heavens-shaking dragon roar!
The river transford into an extrely condensed giant dragon, its color dark gold nearing black, its edges afla with Sun True Fire.
This giant dragon was not rely the manifestation of Buddhist true intent, but also incorporated a portion of the might of [Great Sun Soaring]!
It possessed the unpredictably changeable ultimate softness of water, with andering trajectory; concurrently, it held the transford [Great Sun Soaring] ultimate firmness and brightness, bearing high temperatures that could incinerate all and unconquerable sharpness!
This sudden change made the River Guardian Heavenly King's frontal explosive power, at this very mont, surpass Tai Yu's.
Before the principles of [Great Sun Soaring] could once again exert their influence, the giant dragon had already engulfed Tai Yu, covering the sky!
In a confrontation between Great Grandmasters, they target the 'key nodes' of each other's Martial Arts Domain.
In the duel between Martial Saints, they seek the 'gaps' in each other's principles operation.
Their exchange of over a thousand moves culminated with the River Guardian Heavenly King's superior skill, capturing a slight 'gap' of his opponent!
Tai Yu was struck heavily, the intense light around him suddenly dimming.
At the mont he attempted to mobilize his principles to break through the surrounding water flow with greater force, the River Guardian Heavenly King had already silently appeared within inches before him, along the dark golden river's rushing montum.
There was no overwhelming force, only a single palm imprinting lightly.
This palm carried an unparalleled sense of compassion, not as if to harm, but as if offering to the entire world.
All beings have wishes, which I shall fulfill.
Ten Seals of the Tathagata—Full Wish Seal!
The highest Buddhist Martial Arts, cast by the River Guardian Heavenly King with the Buddhist legacy of a thousand years, urging this seal to an unprecedented peak!
In the space between heaven and earth, the sun towering above the golden river, arrogant and solitary, finally began to withdraw its light and heat.
As if the morning sun suddenly turned into the evening sun.
The great sun descended, ultimately being completely drawn into the golden river.
The river at sunset!
The victor was decided.
