# Chapter 1077: The Invincible Dao
One could see—patches of golden ripples spreading out... like a golden meteorite coming from beyond the heavens... striking the boundless sea, stirring up monstrous waves that ravaged the world.
This was the "Om" character heavenly sound, containing the great compassion and great wisdom of the universe, with infinite power, slaying demons and subduing monsters, unparalleled under heaven.
What no one expected was that Ye Fan also let out a light shout from his mouth, equally vast and boundless, shaking the chaotic energy into rolling waves, as if returning to the Primordial Era.
This sound directly pointed to the origin, shaking people's hearts and minds. It was also golden ripples, rapidly spreading out, colliding with Ku Ci's "Om" character sound.
It could be called a perfect match of needle against wheat!
All the old monks were shocked, almost mistakenly believing Ye Fan was the reincarnation of Buddha. He actually seemed to possess pure and flawless Buddhist divine powers.
"What sound technique is this? It has the same wonderful effect as the 'Om' character sound, the same effect, the same divine power!"
This was naturally also the "Om" character heavenly sound, but merely evolved by Ye Fan through the Battle Saint Art. The various grand trends remained unchanged, the divine power undiminished, the effect equivalent.
Golden waves collided violently. This was a great confrontation of the "Om" character heavenly sound, like two golden seas bursting their banks, then rushing toward each other and crashing together.
Naturally, it was ten thousand layers of terrifying waves, with monstrous billows striking the clouds, drowning the Lantuo Temple entirely. If not for the ancient formations protecting it, nothing would have been left in this place.
All the monks immediately retreated, hiding among the ancient buildings. No one dared to stand in the "violent storm" of this supreme Buddhist ultimate technique confrontation.
The duel between the two was a severe disaster. The sound waves transformed into swords and then into bells, striking in this place, sweeping out cracks in the world.
"Dang..."
Thousands upon thousands of golden Buddhist swords came slashing. Even someone as strong as Ye Fan could not block them all. The impact of the two different styles of "Om" character sounds transformed into a boundless sea of Dao.
All the pores on his body were glowing, resisting this attack, colliding with ten thousand Buddhist swords, trembling violently.
As for Ku Ci, it was even worse. His body shook repeatedly as various Dao marks swept over. Even his indestructible Vajra Body developed streaks of blood, struck by the golden sword waves, continuously retreating.
"Jin!"
Of course, the most terrifying thing was that the great bell condensed from the "Om" character sound ignored distance, quickly enveloping the opponent, shaking the eight desolates of heaven and earth as if they were about to collapse.
Ye Fan stood in the void facing this Buddhist bell. His body trembled for a moment. The entire great bell formed from the "Om" character sound wrapped around him, ringing incessantly.
"Dang!"
Ye Fan activated the Weapon Art. Even the great bell formed from the "Om" character sound was partially controlled by him, difficult to vibrate, almost imprisoned.
"Pa!"
He forcefully shook his arm. His golden palm struck the Buddhist bell, producing a sound like the opening of the universe. It shattered with a crackling sound, golden fragments scattering everywhere. He broke free.
On the other side, Ku Ci suffered injury. Although he had the indestructible Vajra Body, under the supreme exquisite technique attack of Buddhism, cracks still appeared on his physique. He barely broke through the bell and rushed out.
The "Om" character sound duel actually ended with someone outside the Buddhist Gate gaining the upper hand. The people of Lantuo Temple were all stunned.
"How did he grasp the secrets of Buddhism, mastering them to such a level? This is not merely having the form; he has clearly obtained the essence!"
"Even Ku Ci's Arhat True Body is injured!"
All the monks drew in cold breaths. Who else could it be but the Human Sacred Body? Only he could withstand such attacks, his physique stronger than the indestructible Vajra Body.
"Amitabha, Benefactor, your Dao conduct is indeed profound, but passing this old monk's trial is still not possible," Ku Ci said.
He pressed his palms together, chanting incantations, his appearance solemn and dignified. The indestructible Vajra Body glowed, golden light flickering on the surface, his wounds healing.
"Ba..."
He suddenly let out a great roar. Another heavenly sound of Buddhism was shouted out, with myriad manifestations. Everything became different. What was seen all turned into illusion.
A universe opened up, enveloping the two within, placing them amidst a sea of stars.
If the "Om" character heavenly sound was an attacking sacred method, representing the means of subduing demons, a sharp attack, then the "Ba" character heavenly sound represented a grand trend, nearly like a formation, with the power to open heaven and earth.
Once this sound was uttered, it opened the secrets of the universe's beginning, restored the true appearance of the world, touched upon the power of the origin. Not to mention other things, just this grand trend alone could trap and kill the enemy alive.
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes. He found himself standing in a sea of stars, separated from the old monk Ku Ci by a river of stars, silver light dazzling, cutting off the path ahead.
They seemed to stand at opposite ends of the star domain, gazing at each other from afar. No matter how great his divine powers, he could not attack across, only see each other.
And this was only the initial experience of the "Ba" character heavenly sound. Since it had the wonderful use of opening up heaven and earth and condensing the grand trend of heaven and earth, nearly becoming a naturally formed immortal formation, it naturally had methods to suppress and kill enemies.
"Ba!"
Ku Ci on the opposite side shouted again. A brilliant divine gate rose from the separated star domain, flying toward Ye Fan, wanting to absorb him.
The "Ba" character heavenly sound contained the Reincarnation Gate within, which could absorb people, send them into reincarnation, send them to the next life. To put it nicely, it was ascending to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss; to put it bluntly, it was grinding you to death.
"Dang!"
Ye Fan's expression was solemn. His feet crushed the pitch-black universe. His hands spread out and swung, unleashing the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, directly blasting the divine gate flying away.
"Rise!"
Ku Ci let out a Buddhist shout. The endless river of stars trembled violently, transforming into a brilliant Milky Way, actually rolling up and pressing down toward Ye Fan to suppress him.
This was the grand trend of heaven and earth. Through the "Ba" character heavenly sound, it gathered the power of the universe, forming a concrete and miniature Milky Way shape, fully suppressing a single person!
No matter how great an individual was, how could they contend with the universe? They would always turn to dust within it, unable to transcend.
The heavenly sound continued without end. The river of stars filled the sky, drowning Ye Fan. The Reincarnation Gate formed from the "Ba" character sound reappeared, using the river of stars as its peak to send him to the next life.
"The sea of suffering is boundless, turn back and you'll reach the shore. Benefactor, please return. As long as you turn around, there is a path of life. Otherwise, ahead lies boundless calamity," the old monk said.
Behind Ye Fan was a brilliant river of stars, leading to a place full of life. In front of him was forbidden ground for suppressing demons.
"Bang!"
What responded to Ku Ci was a divine sword wave of the primordial spirit. Ye Fan's brow emitted divine glow, imitating the Imperial Sovereign Dao Sword, causing all attacks to have the momentum of Dao dissolution.
This was a powerful and extreme attack. The star domain was collapsing, the Milky Way was scattered, turning into Dao dust.
Moreover, the violent energy shockwave directly struck into that golden divine gate... wanting to disintegrate it... fundamentally defeating the old monk.
However, the immortal formation was as if naturally formed. This was a grand trend of heaven and earth that could not be completely disintegrated. It quickly regenerated and repaired itself.
"Ha!"
Ye Fan's brow flickered. The Imperial Sovereign Dao Sword manifested again. The inch-long golden small sword instantly enlarged, filling the heavens, sweeping across the entire universe, heaven and earth collapsing.
Unfortunately, this was not a complete exquisite technique. Ye Fan had only fought against Yuan Gu back then, and could not completely copy it with the Battle Character Art.
This secret technique was undoubtedly powerful to the extreme. Otherwise, it could not have been recorded in the ultimate secret technique chapter of the Imperial Sovereign. Unfortunately, Ye Fan could not fully grasp it, or this entire heaven and earth would have undergone Dao dissolution.
Fierce confrontation. Ye Fan let out a clear whistle. He calmed his mind. The blood vessels in his body transformed into a river of stars. His golden blood boiled. Then his fists evolved, pushing the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist to its extreme.
Of course, this was not only about evolving the invincible fist intent, but also his essence, energy, and spirit, and even more so his unique "Dao"!
To break this world... to trample the great Dao of heaven and earth underfoot, thus breaking the imprisonment of this universal grand trend!
Back then, he had reversed and severed the Dao, precisely to break free from constraints, not bound by this heaven and earth's suppression, to transcend above eternity. At this moment, it was vividly manifested.
Ku Ci was different from ordinary half-saints, far surpassing his fellow half-saint disciple... He was a formidable enemy Ye Fan encountered after returning.
It was precisely because of this that he felt a crisis, understood his own Dao more clearly. This heaven and earth could not suppress him; he would fight his way out.
"Born in this heaven and earth, it is difficult to become an immortal, because one must follow the will of heaven and earth, ultimately turning to yellow earth. Only by transcending can one succeed."
Ye Fan murmured to himself. He fought against the Dao in reverse, leaping out, breaking free from the shackles of the entire world.
At this moment, he understood more clearly the importance of reversing and severing the Dao, and must resolutely carry it through to the end.
Perhaps, one day this world might be destroyed, ceasing to exist. Just like the brilliant stars, just like the bright silver moon, appearing so beautiful now, but they would eventually fall one day.
"When this world moves toward destruction, following the Dao of this world naturally also turns to dust..."
Ye Fan's Dao heart became increasingly firm. Reversing and severing the Dao, everything would rely on himself, trampling the Dao of this world underfoot, breaking through the constraints of heaven and earth.
"In the end, perhaps my path of attaining the Dao will be extremely difficult, and I might be destroyed by the heavenly Dao of this world, but I cannot help but walk this path."
"If there truly is an Immortal Domain, and one day I can enter it, the world will be completely different. Then what should I honor? The Dao of this world, or the Dao of the Immortal Domain? Will there be conflict? Rather than that, from the beginning, I will honor myself, transcending above everything."
Ye Fan's gaze became increasingly brilliant. His Dao heart was firm and shining, emitting a light that pierced the heavens and shattered the universe from his brow, almost destroying this star domain.
With firm faith, body and mind united, he evolved the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist. The fist intent became even more invincible. In essence, this had already transcended, becoming a unique fist concept, not the past method.
At the same time, his forehead bone glowed. A small golden figure stepped out from the Immortal Platform in one stride, standing before his brow, displaying the invincible fist intent, identical to his body's movements.
Transcending the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, this was body and mind united. After the Dao heart bloomed with immeasurable light, the invincible fist intent naturally swung out. This was the prototype and beginning of walking his own path.
He punched forward. The small golden figure before his brow moved identically, also like this. From the physical body to the primordial spirit, it was so harmonious and unified, from the outside to the inside. The physical body and spirit simultaneously vibrated with their own Dao, resonating together.
"Hong!"
With this strike, the Milky Way collapsed. The golden divine gate shattered. Ku Ci spat blood. The grand trend of heaven and earth disintegrated. The star domain was destroyed.
"Bang!"
Ye Fan and Ku Ci simultaneously returned to the real world. The star domain disappeared. The original universe scattered and vanished.
Ye Fan was unharmed, his momentum even more imposing, understanding his own path and Dao. As for Ku Ci, his body trembled. Cracks appeared on his indestructible Vajra Body. He continuously retreated dozens of steps backward.
"Patriarch Ku Ci is a Golden Body Arhat, only half a step away from becoming a Bodhisattva or Buddha. He is universally acknowledged to have an indestructible physical body, difficult to find a match in the Western Desert. Yet he is at a disadvantage."
Lantuo Temple was a sacred land of the Buddhist Gate in the Western Desert, mastering two supreme true words. That Ku Ci, with his indestructible body, was actually not a match, shocking all the monks.
"Is the Human Sacred Body really this invincible?" Some people guessed his identity, all gazing intently at his Dharma body.
"Great Master, I also do not wish to be an enemy of Lantuo Temple. I only want to see An Miaoyi. If I cannot succeed, then I can only fight to the death," Ye Fan said.
"This old monk is not a match, but I also do not want to be a villain, unreasonably preventing you from meeting. As long as you can pass the final trial, I will open the nine-story stone pagoda," Ku Ci said.
"Which trial?" Ye Fan asked.
"Endure the refinement of the Human World Cauldron. If you can withstand it, I will permit you to see her." Saying this, Ku Ci let out a clear whistle.
In the sky, endless faith power immediately transformed into a great cauldron, refining the thought power flying in from all directions, turning it into pure Buddhist light.
Inside the cauldron, various essences boiled. The thought power was like a sea, cascading down, the pressure like a mountain!
Ye Fan said nothing, directly stepping forward. The great cauldron pressed down. With a rumble, it absorbed him inside.
What in the world was terrifying? There was no way to say it all, but karmic fire was certainly one of the foremost. Great Saints tempering their bodies, Quasi-Emperors attaining the Dao, all needed its testing.
Ye Fan was fearless. He had already experienced it before. He floated in the Human World Cauldron, letting the thought power boil, his bones crackling, using this to forge himself. His entire body became transparent and bright.
All the monks drew in cold breaths!
