The Mirror Legacy

The furious shouts overhead grew louder with every exchange. Li Zhouwei had already glimpsed the danger in the piercing gleam of Minghui's eyes. He swept his halberd backward to brace against the Buddhist artifact Chilu brought crashing down, and realization suddenly dawned upon him.

Mingxiang and Minghui are both members of the Lotus Temple. If this man can be relied upon, the threat they pose can be reduced. The general from Zhao State is the only truly troublesome one.

He surged upward as his divine ability began to circulate, pouring an immense tide of mana into his spirit artifact. The [Hundred-Ridge Profound Stone Umbrella], swaying amid the flames behind him, immediately righted itself and blocked every ray of light in turn. It creaked beneath the assault, and the green-yellow radiance covering its surface dimmed considerably.

However, that brief respite lasted only an instant. Li Zhouwei was already charging upward upon a stream of heavenly light, his halberd aimed straight at Daisi's arrogant horse-like face!

Daisi had always valued his life, and knowing the danger, he had long been on guard against Li Zhouwei. Though they were still separated by a great distance, the moment he faced that gleaming, icy blade, his heart sank.

Gritting his teeth, he hurriedly recalled the [Kongsijiang Demon Bowl], formed a hand seal, and began chanting under his breath, "Command!"

A brilliant hue instantly appeared in his hand, resolving into a dazzling golden brilliant light. It emitted a shrill cry in the air, then swooped downward like a diving hawk.

Daisi had not spent these years entirely unprepared. Although the Buddhist artifact he had intended to painstakingly refine had been lost during the upheaval at Turbid Slaughter Mausoleum, nearly rendering decades of effort futile, he had managed to recover his losses in time and refine this ray of radiant golden brilliant light.

Now that he unleashed it, the brilliant light transformed into hundreds and thousands of colored rays in midair. They swarmed Li Zhouwei, striking his dharma body with sharp metallic clangs and bursting into wave after wave of purple flame.

Yet even as Li Zhouwei's heavenly light rose, fury suddenly blazed in Minghui's eyes. His gaze shifted, and the colored light that had been battering the [Hundred-Ridge Profound Stone Umbrella] until the spirit artifact was on the verge of collapse turned toward Li Zhouwei without hesitation.

"Hah!"

A head emerged from each of Minghui's shoulders, both with delicate features, wide-open eyes, and mouths chanting incantations. One summoned a rain of chaos, while the other cast layer upon layer of bewildering light. Multicolored radiance overlapped and poured down in torrents, suppressing the heavenly light!

As the suppression filled the surroundings with dazzling color, an even more intense radiance rose in response.

[Sovereign In Peril]!

When [Sovereign In Peril] charged into battle, it possessed the power to dispel chaos and restore all things to their proper course. Every one of Minghui's three arts struck at the heart of this mystic, causing the golden patterns across Li Zhouwei's face to blaze as his eyes suddenly shone with brilliant light.

Moreover, being besieged by several opponents caused his fated resonance with [Sovereign In Peril] to rise rapidly. The golden rays that had been writhing across his dharma body were instantly and violently swept aside. In that single moment, Da Sheng's long blade swung around, falling directly on Daisi's face!

Rolling fury was reflected in the pupils of the horse-faced Maha, while his heart churned as though mountains were collapsing and seas were surging, Ming... hui...

Naturally, he was unwilling to admit that his own art had accomplished little, but Minghui had triggered [Sovereign In Peril], awakening its power to restore all things to their proper course and undoubtedly elevating his opponent's mystic to even greater heights. It might have looked like a mistake, but Minghui's secret intent to harm him could not have been more obvious!

The Lotus Temple was highly proficient in Daoist arts, and understood the Immortal Dao even better than the Seven Dharma Forms. To claim that Minghui did not know the nature of Bright Yang's mystics would be utter nonsense! Yet Buddhist cultivators had always schemed against one another, and there was truly nothing Daisi could do about Minghui. More importantly, the halberd was already before his eyes, leaving him no time to think!

Yet Daisi was not without ability. He gritted his teeth, and abruptly spat an object from his mouth. It gleamed white like jadeite, and was, astonishingly, a jade skull. Its deep eye sockets were hollow, while thunder and purple lightning crackled within its mouth. It shot forward and clamped down on the icy blade with a metallic clang!

Da Sheng suddenly blazed with brilliance as [Effect Attachment] activated. A radiant halberd formed from light and shadow leaped forth and struck Daisi’s horse-like head like a bolt of lightning.

Boom!

Heavenly light and purple flames exploded together. The enormous golden body staggered several steps backward and crouched to avoid toppling over. The halberd immediately swept back, only for billowing crimson flames to surge out of thin air and hook around its crescent-shaped blade once more, bringing it to an abrupt halt.

Clang!

A burst of brilliant light suddenly erupted beside Li Zhouwei. At some unknown point, a jade jade vajra pestle engraved with Sanskrit script had silently emerged, concealed within layers of precious radiance as it plunged soundlessly down on him!

It was Mingxiang, the most accomplished cultivator present, who had made his move.

Mingxiang had naturally witnessed the conflict between his junior brother and Daisi with perfect clarity. Although he did not know why the two had fallen out, he would side with his own people regardless of who was in the right.

Mingxiang could clearly have blocked the halberd and left Li Zhouwei in an even more disadvantageous position, yet he had deliberately waited until Daisi took a blow before acting to launch a lethal attack instead!

Yet the moment the jade vajra pestle appeared, Minghui's expression changed as he inwardly cried out in alarm.

Li Zhouwei's golden eyes flickered as he likewise perceived everything clearly. The object appeared utterly ordinary, yet his expression grew solemn. He twisted aside while raising his halberd to block it. Then, he allowed [Heavenly Radiance, Hidden Light] to flare once more from the center of his brow.

Buzz!

After years of cultivation, [Heavenly Radiance, Hidden Light] was gradually approaching the limits of the power this art could attain, bathing heaven and earth in its overwhelming brilliance. Mingxiang, however, sat cross-legged in the sky and brought his hands into position. His left palm faced upward beneath his chin, while his right palm faced downward before his waist.

Turning slightly to one side, he chanted, "Thrice afflicted by the Three Poisons, bowing before corrupted bonds, one burns away one's own roots of virtue, beyond even a sage's salvation."

Light from the Buddhist land descended, accompanied by glistening drops of sweet dew. [Heavenly Radiance, Hidden Light] suddenly seemed to encounter countless obstructions. Its brilliance faded and scattered away in five directions. Bathed in the light of Bright Yang, the vajra pestle broke free. It faltered only slightly before continuing its descent amid iridescent radiance with a resounding clang!

His Dao conduct is truly profound. The claim that the Lotus Temple excels in both Immortal and Buddhist arts is no exaggeration! This Buddhist artifact is probably no ordinary treasure either!

This single display was enough to take Li Zhouwei by surprise. He raised his halberd high and had no choice but to meet the vajra pestle head-on.

Clang!

Sparks burst from Da Sheng's brilliant curved blade, while the halberd shaft bent sharply as though it were bearing the weight of a mountain thousand of meters tall. Countless sutras appeared across the vajra pestle, their phantom images projected in every direction.

Suppress!

The vajra pestle had clearly been created specifically to suppress dharma artifacts. Its power had accumulated for a long time and was terrifyingly potent. At that same moment, however, the golden patterns across Li Zhouwei's face suddenly blazed with radiance, and his eyes shifted from dark gold to brilliant gold.

[Sovereign In Peril] resonated!

As the number of enemies attacking him abruptly increased, the fate of the White Qilin lent him its blessing and resonated with [Sovereign In Peril]. The power of the dharma body divine ability surged at an astonishing rate, rising another half-part beyond its full measure and igniting brilliant heavenly light across his body!

Li Zhouwei's charge had originally been stymied before it could even begin by the vajra pestle's impact. Now though, he held Da Sheng with only one hand while raising the other like lightning. With a sudden sweep, he seized the golden pearl Five-Eyed had sent flying toward him. Its razor-sharp brilliant light stopped dead only a few centimeters from his face before being abruptly scattered by his palm!

Creak... Creak...

The golden pearl still possessed spirituality. It creaked and groaned as he crushed it in his palm. It struggled desperately to break free, but Li Zhouwei showed no trace of triumph. Instead, his expression gradually darkened.
