Chapter 1868: Just One Punch

The Battling Buddha’s Golden-Banded Staff had crashed down upon him with boundless force and churned up all of the blood within his body.

The Battling Buddha’s eyelids twitched slightly. “What terrifying defensive prowess…”

“But this is just the beginning!” The Golden-Banded Staff in his hand quickly shrank as he leaped into the sky. Boundless Buddhist light surged through the heavens, radiating an aura of great mercy and imposing might. Rainbow light then suddenly converged toward the staff.

Countless peculiar images appeared behind the Battling Buddha.

Some were lively and bustling streets, some were picturesque immortal realms, some were battlefields stained by blood, and some were infernal realms where demons and ghouls reigned supreme.

“Myriad World Strike!”

Boundless Buddhist true intent and great benevolence fused together with the countless worlds behind him before converging toward his Golden-Banded Staff, imbuing his staff with the devastating might to puncture an entire world.

“Let me see how you’re going to deal with this strike!”

The Battling Buddha roared as his Golden-Banded Staff elongated once again before falling from the sky. The staff hadn’t reached An Lin yet, but the earth within a radius of several hundred kilometers was already caving in.

An Lin’s entire body trembled. He enjoyed the feeling of being confronted by such a devastating power.

He extended a hand toward the descending staff.

Bam!!!

Buddhist light exploded forth while heaven and earth tremored and quaked.

A bottomless abyss was instantly blasted into the ground within which boundless Buddhist light surged.

All of the spectating disciples felt like their hearts had leaped into their mouths.

Even Bai Ling, Xu Xiaolan, and the other top-rate powerful beings were getting a little concerned. They believed that An Lin could win, but they didn’t expect An Lin to be so arrogant as to take on the Battling Buddha’s attacks with his body alone.

One had to realize that the last attack was a full-force strike unleashed by the Battling Buddha after summoning his power of the divine dao! Weaker Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures would be insta-killed by that attack, yet An Lin was going to block it with his hand?

“Is An Lin going to be alright?” Xu Xiaolan spread open her Holy Flame wings and rose into the sky.

“Hehe, he’ll be fine as long as he’s not dead. This will teach him a lesson so that he doesn’t underestimate his enemies in the future.” Bai Ling chuckled coldly before manipulating the satellite to zoom in on An Lin.

However, they were then greeted by an unbelievable sight.

The Golden-Banded Staff that had embedded itself firmly into the earth was quickly rising into the air. The Battling Buddha forced the staff down with all his might, but his efforts to do so were futile.

An Lin rose into the sky with a calm expression as he supported the bottom of the Golden-Banded Staff with a single hand.

His white robe remained as pristine as ever, and there were no wounds on his body.

“He… he blocked it?” The Battling Buddha’s eyes widened with astonishment. “He blocked my Myriad World Strike with a single hand?”

In his heart, An Lin should have been roughly his equal in terms of combat prowess if he didn’t use his powers of the Heavenly Gods. However… An Lin had now taken one of his most powerful attacks with his bare hand!

“That was not bad. Feel free to increase your power output. No need to worry about me, I can handle it.” An Lin’s eyes shimmered with excitement.

The Battling Buddha almost threw up a mouthful of blood upon hearing this.

Increase my power output?

That’s already my full power!

Do I have to unleash a sacrificial mystic technique to satisfy you?!

An Lin was extremely elated. He was using the Battling Buddha to test out the limits of this body. The Battling Buddha’s attacks were making his blood churn and seethe, but he was still far from reaching his limit. After all, he hadn’t even been forced to unleash his Five Elemental Body, so he was hoping that the Battling Buddha would be able to provide more of a challenge…

The Battling Buddha really wanted to tell An Lin that this was already the limit of his power.

However, he couldn’t do that as the Battling Buddha never yielded to anyone!

His eyes suddenly became as dazzling as the sun, and holy flames capable of incinerating all things erupted forth.

If physical attacks didn’t work, then he would just have to attack with spell techniques!

Boom!!!

The golden holy flames exploded upon making contact with An Lin’s body.

Scorching heatwaves proliferated through the air, reducing the grasslands around them to dust.

However, before the Battling Buddha even had a chance to survey the situation, he discovered that his holy flames were flowing like liquid, as if they were being engulfed by something.

An Lin’s mouth was wide open, and he swallowed all of the Battling Buddha’s holy flames in less than three seconds.

“Phew… What pure flames. The taste is exquisite.” An Lin gave the Battling Buddha a thumbs-up. “However… we can stop trying to test each out now, right? Let’s unleash our full power and fight to our heart’s content!”

The Battling Buddha’s teeth chattered. Unleash our full power? That WAS his full power!

An indescribable sense of panic suddenly set in.

However, a thought then suddenly occurred to the Battling Buddha. Perhaps An Lin was goading him into thinking that he was extremely powerful in order to dampen his morale…

These were mind games!

That must be it!

The Battling Buddha roared as his body expanded at an alarming rate. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a divine monkey over ten thousand feet tall with an astonishing aura emanating from his body.

“An Lin! I’m not scared of you! It’s your turn to attack me now, and I’ll defeat you fair and square!” the Battling Buddha roared. Just the soundwaves of his roar were enough to shatter the earth within a radius of tens of thousands of meters.

“Hahaha… As you wish!” An Lin was influenced by the surging battle intent erupting from the Battling Buddha’s body, and he immediately unleashed all of the power within his body of the War God to unleash a full-force fist at the massive divine monkey.

The Battling Buddha also launched an almighty fist, which was shimmering with a boundless Buddhist light.

Everyone on the drill ground stared intently at the scenes unfolding on the screen.

This was going to be an extremely intense and evenly matched showdown.

Not only did they think that, but even An Lin and the Battling Buddha thought of the same thing.

The two fists collided violently.

Bam…

The Battling Buddha’s mountainous fist suddenly exploded.

What followed was his blood, flesh, bones, ligaments… His entire arm was pulverized by an invisible force.

Not only that, but An Lin’s fist continued onward like an unstoppable divine mountain, causing the Battling Buddha’s chest to cave in before blasting a massive hole several hundred meters in radius into his body.

“Pfff…”

The Battling Buddha threw up a massive mouthful of blood, and he was blasted flying for several hundred kilometers before tumbling to the ground in an extremely sorry state.

The massive divine monkey struggled for a few moments on the ground before seemingly discovering that he was unable to get up anymore…

Silence.

Deathly silence.

Everyone was astonished by what they were seeing.

One punch…

An Lin had only unleashed one punch to completely disable the Battling Buddha!
