After Shakyamuni’s palm flipped, he struck it towards Lin Feng. His five fingers spread wide apart, as if he was lifting the entire Greater World. When his palm landed, it seemed as if the Greater World was crashing down on Lin Feng.
In void space, countless rays of Buddhist lights surged. They revealed a Buddhist nation, which was also a world of Nirvana, that was occupied by gods and Buddhas.
Shakyamuni’s figure disappeared after he entered this Buddhist nation. There was only a patch of Forever-Bright Buddhist lights in front of Lin Feng.
At this moment, his figure seemed to be separated from the Grand Celestial World. He appeared to have jumped into another Greater World.
His supernatural awareness, will, powers and spiritual energy were all detached from the Spirit Sea, Greater World and Grand Celestial world.
The Buddhist nation in front of him wasn’t any ordinary plane of space, small world created by supernatural awareness and powers, or a Middle World. It was like a real Greater World that was independent outside of the Grand Celestial World.
In the Heavens and Earth, flowing lights that resembled the ones in the Spirit Sea could be seen. It was as if the boundless Great Dao had manifested into a real, physical entity.
The spiritual energy in this world was extremely completely. The flow of spiritual energy in this world was also different from that of the Grand Celestial World.
In this world of Nirvana, Buddha was the creator and the only ruler. He set the rules, and everything proceeded according to his will.
Lin Feng started to hear Buddhist chants. He felt natural, free and experienced perfect joy.
Lin Feng revealed a smile on his face as he looked at everything in front of him calmly.
However, this wasn’t a smile that had appeared because he had comprehended Buddhism. It was a smile that appeared because he felt very free. It was as if he was a tourist that came to tour this Buddhist nation and world of nirvana.
He lifted his hand and pointed. Spots of light appeared in void space – there were one hundred twenty-nine thousand and six hundred of them, a number corresponding to one ‘Yuan’. (Translator’s Note: Yuan is like a unit of time. One Yuan refers to one hundred twenty-nine thousand and six hundred years.)
As Lin Feng pointed, the spots of light started to spread and converted into balls of light fog.
Amidst each light fog, there were smaller spots of light. They were blurry and started to stack up together.
Shakyamuni’s gaze flashed slightly, “One billion two hundred and ninety-six million…”
Within each spot of light, countless streaks of radiance shot out. There were one billion two hundred and ninety-six million streaks of flowing lights. They filled and intersected in void space. The entire Buddhist nation was covered.
This Buddhist nation that surged with Forever-Bright lights started to turn dark. Only the streaks of flowing lights continued to move in the Heavens and Earth.
Solemn Buddhist chants started to sound deeper and deeper. Although they were as clear as ever, they seemed to get further and further. Slowly, they became inaudible.
Lin Feng said, “This spell is known as the Taiji Yuan Treasure Light.”
The Taiji Yuan Treasure Light came from the Book of Taiji. At this moment, the entire world of Nirvana was repressed.
The movement and development of this world stalled. There was no creation or destruction.
The Great Dao of the Heavens and Earth and the principles of creation and destruction were interfered with at this point. They became ridiculous and illusory. The entire world seemed to be extremely surreal at this point.
Lin Feng’s Dao Fruit appeared above his head again. The Dao Fruit extended to form a spot before it became a line. As it eventually formed a straight line, it revealed the Eternal Light of Calamity.
After Lin Feng reached the Immortal Soul Third Level, the Eternal Light of Calamity was also not the same as before anymore. With the Book of Taiji supporting it now, it became even more magical.
The power concept it contained that reinforced the Taiji Yuan Celestial Light was well-exhibited at this moment.
The world of Nirvana that was repressed by the Taiji Yuan Celestial Light started to circulate normally again as it was immersed in the Eternal Light of Calamity.
However, the world of Nirvana didn’t circulate according to its original principles. It advanced rapidly towards complete destruction at this point.
The Buddhist chants disappeared, Buddhist lights turned dimmer and the countless Buddhas started to collapse. Their golden forms withered and eventually turned to dust.
The Saros Tree shriveled, the White Lotus Flower was ruined, and the Heavenly Stupa lost its glow.
Shakyamuni’s voice resonated in void space. The entire world started to radiate again as his voice sounded.
This world of Nirvana seemed even more indestructible and protected everyone and everything within it eternally.
However, when Shakyamuni tired to dispel the Taiji Yuan Treasure Light and Eternal Light of Calamity, Lin Feng laughed. He converted into a streak of flowing light and left the world of nirvana.
Lin Feng, who just returned back to the Spirit Sea, laughed as he looked at Shakyamuni, “Using the Five Fingers Mountain to suppress me? You can’t do that with your powers. However, your Buddhist nation is indeed an eye-opener. It’s astonishing.”
The five worlds of Nirvana (of Nirvana of Industry, Nirvana of Bliss, Nirvana of Happiness, Nirvana of Virtue and the Nirvana of Enlightenment) above Shakyamuni disappeared above Shakyamuni’s head, but they re-appeared again soon after.
Lin Feng extended his palm forward and started to reach out to grab Shakyamuni.
As his five fingers opened and closed, the Taiji Yuan Celestial Light was unleashed suddenly. one billion two hundred and ninety-six million streaks of flowing lights engulfed void space and filled the Vaidūryanirbhāsā World in the center of the Heavenly Stupa.
The revolution of the Vaidūryanirbhāsā World started to become slower under the effect of the Taiji Yuan Celestial Light.
A Dao Fruit appeared in the center of Lin Feng’s palm and started to crash towards the Buddha along with his palm.
All barriers were destroyed as the Dao Fruit, which was like a mystical spot, passed them.
This spot seemed to be the start and end of all matter. Countless concepts of the Great Dao were contained within it.
Shakyamuni pushed his palm out and his size ballooned at this point, filling the entire Grand Celestial World. However, he also seemed like a speck of dust that didn’t exist in this world.
The independent Buddhist nation and world of nirvana subtly appeared in his palm once again, receiving the attack of Lin Feng’s Dao Fruit.
This world of nirvana was like an independent Greater World outside the Grand Celestial World. The concepts of the Grand Celestial World couldn’t be used on it, thus making it difficult for Lin Feng’s Dao Fruit to degrade it.
However, the world of Nirvana was still gradually degraded by the Dao Fruit and the parts of it that were destroyed were sucked into the spot, ceasing to exist any further.
The situation entered a stalemate. An intersecting, black and white radiance surfaced on Lin Feng’s body. It shook the Heavens and Earth along with the singing cries of the Heavens and Earth.
Although Lin Feng’s Dao Fruit didn’t experience any changes with the Holy Light of Creation supporting it, it was still coated with a black and white glow as the Taiji Yuan Celestial Light combined with the Holy Light of Creation.
One billion two hundred and ninety-six million streaks of flowing lights shook together and started to repress the Vaidūryanirbhāsā World from all directions.
The Vaidūryanirbhāsā World started to crack into pieces in void space.
Following Lin Feng’s palm, these cracked pieces also started to crash towards the Heavenly Stupa.
Shakyamuni’s expression didn’t change. He remained as calm as before. The Cosmic Marble Buddha also watched Lin Feng’s palm as it came crashing down. He was also watching the Dao Fruit in the center of his palm.
After the Cosmic Marble Buddha observed for a brief moment, his forty-eight thousand limbs opened up before clasping together.
Spell imprints started to land on the Heavenly Stupa. The Heavenly Stupa started to shine brightly and the lights from it shot into the sky. They tried to resist Lin Feng’s palm from crashing down, along with the help from Shakyamuni.
Above the Heavenly Stupa, forty-eight thousand sariras revealed projections of different Buddhas. They filled the entire Heavens and Earth, exuding a majestic aura.
However, the empty right spot beside the Cosmic Marble Buddha at the top of the Heavenly Stupa caught more attention.
It was originally empty and only flashed with boundless radiance that contained limitless possibilities. However, this radiance started to become more and more blinding in the next moment. Another projection of a different Buddha seemed to have appeared.
Under such a special condition, the Heavens and Earth shook where the Spirit Sea and Death Sea were connected. The Spirit Sea, Death Sea and Greater World that were tightly connected were all affected.
Strips of Great Dao radiance in the Spirit Sea were drawn to the right-hand seat beside the Cosmic Marble Buddha. The silent and peaceful Death Sea started to become unstable.
Water that was silent, colorless and had a weird structure started to surge, landing at the right-hand seat beside the Cosmic Marble Buddha.
The terrifying flow of water was formed by the powers of the Death Sea.
The Buddha projection amidst the lights still remained illusory. It was difficult to see him clearly, but his aura was evidently very vigorous.
His strength appeared very ethereal and unpredictable, as if it contained a future of limitless possibilities. It was difficult to grasp or understand it, but it was shocking. One could clearly sense how powerful this strength was.
Above the Heavenly Stupa, the forty-eight thousand sariras revealed several Buddha projections at the same time. They started to turn into golden forms one by one. It was as if forty-eight thousand Buddhas had descended in the mortal world.
Their vigorous strength shook the entire Greater World. As Shakyamuni was surrounded by the Buddhas, the five worlds of nirvana above his head disappeared. Whereas the noble and majestic Buddhist nation appeared once again. It seemed even more majestic now than before.
The Buddhist nation couldn’t be destroyed, wasn’t affected by the cycle of Samsara and wasn’t subjected to any calamities.
Forever-Bright Buddhist lights were able to resist Lin Feng’s Dao Fruit now.
The Buddhist lights were dissipated under the effect of Lin Feng’s Dao Fruit, but they didn’t appear to get any lesser. They still continued to fill void space.
The Taiji Yuan Treasure Light repressed this world of nirvana, causing its circulation to stall a little. However, it was still stable. The Forever-Bright Buddhist lights even seemed to gain the upper hand on Lin Feng’s Taiji Yuan Treasure Light now.
A clear intent of destruction was birthed from the Buddhist lights. The Buddhist lights were destroyed wherever they passed, but they also destroyed every other existence that they encountered. Everything was destroyed along with these Buddhist lights.
All troubles disappeared instantly. There was no creation or destruction, increment or reduction, as well as any obstructions.
Under the baptism of the destructive Buddhist lights, the streaks of flowing lights produced by the Taiji Yuan Treasure Light started to snap in void space.
Shakyamuni unleashed his palm towards Lin Feng’s palm.
Initially, Lin Feng’s palm came crashing down on Buddha and the Heavenly Stupa. However, he had the feeling that he became the one resisting the strike now. The person who was trying to repress him was the Buddha.
Their situation had reversed now.
