Volume 1, Chapter 46: Old Ghost Ma, the Prodigy of Antiques!

As all the Paladins collapsed to the ground, Chen Ling raised both hands to blow on his palms, then struck a pose with his hands on his hips, as if holstering a pair of invisible pistols.

With a light tap of his toe, Yun Tianyang kicked away a pebble at his feet. The pebble whistled through the air and smashed into the head of a zombie. A muffled impact echoed out, and the zombie's head was instantly blown apart, sending it crashing heavily to the ground like a wooden pillar. Immediately, this loud noise reverberated, drawing nearly a hundred zombies rushing out from within the village in a swarming mob.

"Take this!!" You Chi's crimson beastly pupils flashed with cold light. With a muffled grunt, a scorching crimson sphere erupted fiercely from his mouth, forming an even more powerful beam of blazing lava. Wherever it passed, the frost melted, and the chill penetrating countless meters deep into the icy domain seemed to be evaporated, sending billows of white mist rising into the air.

At this moment, Yang Yahui and Angel had surprisingly each purchased a piece of rough jadeite. Looking at the two excited girls, he knew in his heart that Yang Yahui had been led "astray" by Angel—though little did he know who had led Angel astray in the first place.

Most incredible of all was that hundreds upon hundreds of divine beasts were running, jumping, swimming, or sitting right there... in every imaginable posture and form. Dragons soaring, tigers roaring! They all appeared vividly before the people's eyes. Apart from the fact that these divine beasts were entirely pitch-black, it was as if they had genuinely materialized right above everyone's heads.

The elves listened with rapt attention, deeply captivated by the beautiful world Tieru described. None of these people had ever known what sunlight was, nor had they ever seen a grassland.

The moment the system's voice faded in his mind, a blue wall of data was instantly projected before his eyes.

No sooner had Jing Xiangyu finished speaking than a golden figure darted out from the nearby thicket, transforming into a golden streak of light as it lunged toward Ling Litian. Ling Litian was taken aback, never expecting that Jing Xiangyu actually possessed a mysterious beast.

To think that he, a dignified peak Profound-rank martial artist and a half-step Earth-rank existence—someone who only needed to acquire a divine weapon today to leverage its power and break through in a single bound to become an Earth-rank powerhouse—was actually being treated as if he were completely invisible.

What was going on here? Lu Tianyu had a feeling he had arrived at the wrong time and was just thinking of making a temporary retreat when Shangguan Tianlong spotted him.

Indeed, in Lin Yifeng's eyes, Xu Qiang was still just a child. Although, judging by age, Lin Yifeng was not truly much older than him, in terms of life experience, the gap between them was as vast as heaven and earth.

As Chen Xi's words fell, the sword in his hand had already reached that man's body.

"What is this?" Yang Hanhuai was equally unable to remain calm, never imagining that the biochemical humanoid base in the United States had long since been controlled by fierce beasts.

"Ah, yes, Her Imperial Grace is wise," Zhang Cheng fawned, letting out a massive sigh of relief. Life wasn't easy for him; he had to play the balancing act between two masters while remaining constantly on guard against open spears and hidden arrows. Being a human is hard, and being a court eunuch is just as difficult.

Seeing that Wang Hao had actually let Long Ying and the other four go, Chen Shifei hurried over to Wang Hao, a trace of anxious panic hanging on his face as he asked.

While her family life and private affairs were unspeakable, on the other hand, Lan Susu was quite confident in her own appearance and thoroughly enjoyed the praise of her fans.

However, when the dark red giant dragon stood up and gazed far off in the direction they had previously taken, it finally spotted the other party—it turned out to be the young man who had been closely following Ye Han all along, the one he ought to address as his martial uncle.

Eunuch Feng Bao had received a kick from Lin Zhuo and witnessed his ferocious expression. While hatred certainly lingered in his heart, he was also genuinely shaken.

Yet what happened next was truly shocking: when this volley of bullets struck the barrier of light, the barrier did not shatter at the slightest touch. Instead, upon contacting the light shield, the bullets gradually dissolved and dissipated within a few seconds.

Shaking his head, Huang Xuanling tossed the stone, which had already lost its spiritual energy, to Huang Xuanruo. Huang Xuanruo held it in her hand, looking at it this way and that, always feeling that some change had occurred in the stone, though she could not quite put her finger on what that change was.

A surge of anxiety and panic welled up in Liu Qingfeng's heart. Beads of sweat as large as soybeans streamed down his face, which was contorted with pain. Clenching his fists tightly, he couldn't help leaning closer to Jiang Yingxue.

A luxurious carriage was seen driving toward them, carrying none other than Viscount Robert, the lord of this domain.

"I just want everyone to see the true face of this hypocrite," Xu Donghai shouted loudly.

It wasn't until Ye Xingyi couldn't help letting out a soft hiccup that the two of them froze, staring blankly at each other before simultaneously bursting into laughter.

The atmosphere in the room lapsed into an eerie silence, broken only by the sound of Grand Duke Rhein's shoes contacting the floor and the heavy panting of the figure in black.

In truth, precisely because it lacked the constraints of physical form, the Dao of metamorphosis suddenly became extremely simple: one simply needed to "follow one's heart's desires."

Hasty to lower his gaze, he checked the white cloth wrapped around the man's lower back. Seeing that the stain of seeping blood had not expanded, he finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Qiao Nanfeng's words acted like a time bomb, directly planting a seed within everyone's hearts.

"Big sister need not be so modest. Who in the capital doesn't know how dearly the Marquis cherishes you? Sister is an object of envy for countless maidens!" Yan Bier suddenly chimed in, speaking quite bluntly.

Looking at the door before him that had been forcefully shoved open, Qiao Nanfeng's eyes carried a trace of understanding and helplessness.

If you observe carefully, you will come to understand that compared to the pure dharma bodies of yourselves and all beings—which possess the three great virtues and profound capacities of precepts, meditative concentration, and wisdom—the Tathagata's dharma body is known as the "Universally and Rightly Enlightened One," meaning it truly awakens to all phenomena with perfect clarity and without discrimination.
