Chapter 1068: [Rules] Invalid

"Liu Tianyang, today you and I must settle our score once and for all!"

"Ye Zheng, do you think I am afraid of you?"

The two Body Integration Stage cultivators confronted each other sharply, neither willing to yield an inch. Every strike was ruthlessly fierce, and the aftershocks of their battle sent ripples through space, rippling outward layer upon layer.

They fought as they flew, continuing until they reached a place of beautiful hills and clear waters, where by tacit agreement they ceased their flight and chose this spot to do battle.

"Senior predecessors, please wait a moment, could the two of you change locations for your fight?" Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

Cultivators of the Body Integration Stage were few after all, and moreover, because Lu Yang was the disciple of Daoist Buyu, he had long become familiar with the faces of almost all the Body Integration Stage cultivators in the Great Xia. These two were no exception; they were named Liu Tianyang and Ye Zheng, both possessing cultivations of the mid-Body Integration Stage, with one specializing in earth-attribute spells and the other in water-attribute spells.

The two also recognized Lu Yang and his companion.

The disciple of Daoist Buyu, Lu Yang, and the eldest young master of the Meng family, Meng Jingzhou.

Although Liu Tianyang and Ye Zheng recognized their identities, they still had no intention of stopping. Their current duel was intense; a single mistake could cause them to lose the entire game, and whoever stopped first would be the one to lose.

Furthermore, although Lu Yang and his companion were very famous and undoubtedly geniuses, they were ultimately juniors. What right did they have to meddle in their affairs?

"Earth Dragon Roll..." Liu Tianyang barked softly, drawing a talisman with one hand and forming a hand seal with the other. The earth roared, trembling continuously as a fissure ripped open, and an earth dragon bored out from the ground.

Lu Yang watched helplessly as the landscape they had gone to great trouble to arrange was destroyed. The Samadhi True Fire and the Golden Crow True Flame fused together, becoming a supreme true fire that flew into the space between Liu Tianyang and Ye Zheng and exploded.

The spellcasting process was interrupted, and the earth dragon, which had just poked its head out of the ground, completely collapsed.

Liu Tianyang and Ye Zheng had been fighting to their hearts' content, and having their battle interrupted by the explosion of the true fire, their expressions instantly darkened.

"Lu Yang, I recognize you, the little disciple of that old rogue Buyu. Just now you spoke out to interfere in a battle among seniors. Out of respect for the Dao Seeking Sect, I will not hold it against you, but since you have directly struck out, this matter is no longer so simple!"

"This junior has no intention of interfering in the battle between the two seniors. Could the two seniors please fly into the universe to conduct your battle?"

"You meddle too much." Liu Tianyang frowned. Why should he be ordered around by the disciple of that old rogue Buyu?

Even if the storytellers praised Lu Yang to the skies in their recitals, Liu Tianyang knew that those stories were written by the old rogue Buyu himself. Not a word of truth came out of that old rogue's mouth, and with Lu Yang being his disciple, there was bound to be boasting involved. Lu Yang certainly possessed a modicum of ability, but he was absolutely not as powerful as described in the stories, and certainly could not be stronger than himself!

"Earth Dragon Overturns the Heavens!" Liu Tianyang barked softly, resuming the spell from before. The scattered earth dragon recongealed, tearing through the earth and bursting out of the soil to charge at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang swiped with two fingers, and countless sword qi surged from behind him, transforming into an immensely grand sword wheel. Anything that touched the sword wheel would be hacked to pieces by the sword qi.

The moment the earth dragon contacted the sword wheel, it showed signs of collapsing a second time.

"Heavenly River Pouring Backward!" Ye Zheng struck out as well. In an instant, heavy rain fell from the sky, moistening the earth and also moistening the earth dragon, making its body more solid and sufficient to withstand Lu Yang's sword wheel.

Lu Yang's eyes narrowed, and he transformed into a small earthen mound that crashed into the earth dragon.

An event that caused Liu Tianyang and Ye Zheng's jaws to drop occurred: the small earthen mound that Lu Yang had transformed into was actually devouring the earth dragon step by step, and the earth dragon struggled in agony but could not break free!

"What kind of spell is this!"

Lu Yang devoured the earth dragon until not even a scrap remained, and then transformed into a giant hundreds of feet tall.

"Law-Phenomenon Earth-Giant?" Liu Tianyang was thoroughly astonished and somewhat regretted initiating the clash. Even he had not mastered this grand divine ability. If he failed to teach the junior a lesson and was defeated instead, he would lose tremendous face.

"Falling Rain Turning to Ice!" The heavy rain transformed into hail, and the hail pelted Lu Yang's body, forming a layer of ice over his surface!

"Old Lu, I am coming too!" Meng Jingzhou had never cared for the environment as much as he did now. He draped his Dharma Idol over Lu Yang, and the pure yang flames burning on the Dharma Idol blocked the hail.

"A Dharma Idol?" Liu Tianyang and Ye Zheng were startled simultaneously. A Soul Transformation Stage cultivator could actually master a Dharma Idol already?

"Earth Shaking and Mountains Shifting!"

"Frozen for Ten Thousand Li!"

The two of Liu Tianyang struck out at the same time, creating out of thin air a towering mountain of ice that flashed with cold gleams.

Even if the Law-Phenomenon Earth-Giant and the Dharma Idol fused together, they could forget about enduring this strike head-on!

The ice mountain was hurled toward Lu Yang and his companion, only for several muffled grunts to sound from the other side of the ice mountain, resembling muffled thunder. The ice mountain shattered, and icy mist flew everywhere.

A giant stepped out from the icy mist, and hanging upon the Dharma Idol were countless golden Arhats sitting cross-legged. The golden Arhats formed dense swathes, constituting a set of armor.

Originally, Liu Tianyang and his companion were filled with intense fighting spirit, but seeing this scene, they were stunned. How did this image make it look like Lu Yang was a leader of the demonic path who had gone to the Buddhist Kingdom to slaughter a group of monks, and then hung the monks upon himself like trophies?

Even that old rogue Buyu did not have such an unorthodox and wicked technique.

Lu Yang did not care what his image looked like, as long as it could raise his combat power. Right now, he was clad in the Dharma Idol, and the Dharma Idol was draped with the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body. With this set of combination skills boosting him, his defensive power was astonishing, and those of the Body Integration Stage could absolutely not pierce their defense.

He strode forward, every step causing ripples in space, as though he were walking on thin air, with invisible steps supporting him from beneath his feet.

"Arhat Punch!"

Lu Yang allowed the Dharma Idol to be stained with a layer of Samadhi True Fire and Golden Crow True Flame, and executed the Arhat Punch, beating Liu Tianyang and his companion into a steady retreat.

Every one of Lu Yang's punches broke the sound barrier, deafening to the ears.

"My hair!" Liu Tianyang and his companion cried out in alarm. They retreated as they fought, losing hair all the while, and their image could not possibly be any worse.

"Law-Phenomenon Earth-Giant, Samadhi True Fire, Golden Crow True Flame... you indeed possess some ability, truly worthy of being a chosen talent. It is just a pity that you should not have struck out against us!"

"This is you forcing us to get serious!" Ye Zheng laughed in furious mockery. The gap between the Soul Transformation Stage and the Body Integration Stage was not merely a difference in dharmic power and physical body.

"Establish here the [Rule: Lu Yang cannot use the Law-Phenomenon Earth-Giant]!"

By using a rule to restrict Lu Yang's technique to death, let us see what else he can do!

The massive fist continued to smash down, and Lu Yang's grand voice echoed in the ears of Ye Zheng and his companion.

"Arhat Punch!"

"Establish here the [Rule: Lu Yang cannot use the Samadhi True Fire]!"

"Arhat Punch!"

"Establish here the [Rule: Lu Yang cannot use the Golden Crow True Flame]!"

"Arhat Punch!"

"Establish here the [Rule: Lu Yang cannot use the Arhat Punch]!"

"Arhat Punch!"

"Why is it not working?!" Ye Zheng and his companion had never been as dumbfounded as they were today. They took turns executing rules, but Lu Yang seemed immune to all methods, and the rules could not take effect upon his body.

Was the disciple of that old rogue Buyu not a bit too absurd?

Lu Yang's fists smashed down with a crackling roar, beating Ye Zheng and his companion into a complete mess, their hair falling all over the ground.

Ye Zheng and his companion were smashed into the ground, and Lu Yang's fists did not stop, smashing out a large crater.

"Stop, stop, stop, we admit defeat." Ye Zheng and his companion crawled out from the ground. Lu Yang stayed his hand, returning to normal size, and Meng Jingzhou also withdrew his Dharma Idol.

"Just why on earth did you want us to change locations for our fight?" Ye Zheng and his companion asked in a thoroughly displeased manner.

Lu Yang surveyed the mountain range that was riddled with scars after the battle and said righteously, "This junior wished to say that the environment here is beautiful, and would fighting here not destroy the environment of this place?"

"This junior was worried that the two seniors would not believe it, which is why I demonstrated it once."

"If it is destroyed, can we not just restore it?!" Ye Zheng was furious. For just this little matter, was there any need to get physical!

Meng Jingzhou felt that what Ye Zheng said made sense: "It is the turn of the two seniors to demonstrate."
