Starting with Proficiency Panel

The faint Buddha Light spread subtly around, growing increasingly intense.

He stretched out his hand and held Chen Yi tightly in his embrace. However, the next moment, Lu Ren raised an eyebrow—Chen Yi before him was merely an empty shell.

The opponent had actually used the Golden Cicada Shell technique to escape at the last moment, avoiding Lu Ren's ferocious attack.

Lu Ren slowly retracted his arm from the crack in the wall he had struck, turned around, and looked at Chen Yi in mid-air. At this moment, Chen Yi was already retreating rapidly in the air, creating a series of air-piercing sounds as he distanced himself from Lu Ren.

Seeing this, Lu Ren sighed and shook his head slightly.

"That's why I dislike these cultivators who specialize in divine techniques, always playing the kite runner role."

It wasn't that Lu Ren couldn't use divine power techniques now; he simply preferred using his physique for close combat when executing these techniques.

Whether it was the Real Buddha's True Scripture from before, Ji Quanzhen's teachings of Immortal Skin and Jade Bone, or the True Martial Emperor Body, each contained records of divine power techniques.

Watching Chen Yi swiftly fly a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye, Lu Ren took a step forward, extended a Buddha's hand, and grasped fiercely at Chen Yi!

Bang!

Instantly, with Lu Ren infusing Ten Lands True Qi into his grasp, a terrifying suction erupted from his palm.

Under the reversed cloud Qi, Chen Yi felt as if his entire body was trapped, being violently pulled towards Lu Ren.

His retreating posture rapidly slowed down, and within his shocked expression, his body irresistibly moved toward Lu Ren.

"Void Shift?"

Chen Yi inquired coldly.

"Not quite; it's merely the most basic arrangement and utilization of Qi. If you understood a basic technique's essence, you too could achieve this level," Lu Ren casually replied, though internally, his Ten Lands True Qi poured out like a dam, losing three-tenths in a blink.

If this guy wasn't dealt with quickly, prolonging the time would be disadvantageous for Lu Ren.

To put it simply, the opponent was a full realm higher. The current advantage was due to an information gap.

If Chen Yi managed to regain distance and composure, albeit not kiting Lu Ren to death, it would cause him extreme discomfort, putting him in danger.

Moreover, using Heart Eye Observation, southwest of the Taihang Sword Sect's location, a hundred miles away, a chaotic magnetic field indicated an intense battle occurring.

Once things calmed down and they sensed the situation here, Lu Ren would indeed find it difficult to escape.

Dammit, why is there always such crap?

"Qi Sword!"

Chen Yi shouted, forming his hands into a sword gesture.

Qi gathered within him, and Heaven and Earth's spiritual mechanisms shot from all directions, transforming into filaments of swords around him like a weaving rain.

At a glance, it seemed like a rain of swords surrounding him.

"Go."

With a light shout, Chen Yi pointed forward, sweeping the rain of swords down on Lu Ren like a torrential storm.

Lu Ren's expression turned grave; he felt the intense Power within the green sword rain, realizing that if he let the sword rain attack, his Seventh Far-Reaching Land Bodhisattva Golden Body would surely be breached.

Behind him, the Bodhisattva Path Fruit radiated a dignified, grand aura, circling him like a golden ring, exuding a golden glow.

Stepping forward, his figure grew exponentially, revealing a Buddha's shadow behind him, whose visage bore an uncanny resemblance to Lu Ren.

"I am the Tathagata!"

In an instant, an expansive, solemn Buddha sound resounded, surrounding the area.

With the release of this Tathagata technique, his Ten Lands True Qi was drained instantly. Without the timely support of the Red Dragon Inner Core, he feared being absorbed dry by this move.

For the divine techniques employed by those in the Determination Path Realm, it was indeed a bit of a stretch.

This world-shaking divine technique was devised by the Ten Lands True Scripture, integrating countless True Skill and Techniques, and could indeed deliver as described based on its power.

As the shadow behind him solidified, countless Heaven and Earth spiritual mechanisms converged, engulfing the surrounding ten li. The Buddha's shadow, previously vanishing, gradually solidified, stabilizing.

With Lu Ren's floating palm pressing down, the Buddha's shadow likewise extended a massive Buddha's hand, crushing down on the incoming sword rain.

It seemed as if the entire world swayed and trembled with the Buddha's shadow's palm.

The hearts and minds of everything under Heaven were tethered to the Buddha's hand.

"How is this possible?!!"

Chen Yi's eyes almost popped out; his expression twisted in shock and fury, bordering on grotesque.

Watching his sword rain dissolve into nothingness under the Buddha's hand, merely producing a few crisp tinkling sounds with no other effect.

After all, he had once used this Qi Sword to flatten a mountain peak.

Yet now, it seemed like a gentle, nourishing rain, like willows brushing softly.

Gentle breeze and light rain?!

Facing the enormous Buddha's hand bearing down, Chen Yi roared a non-human sound, causing a dozen Protective Jade Pendants within him to surge up into vibrant colors.

However, touching the Buddha hand, they popped silently like bubbles.

In response, Chen Yi's brow burst forth with a divine light.

From the distance, Lu Ren saw it clearly—it was a piece of Jade Bamboo.

This Jade Bamboo seemed to grow with the wind, rising and expanding quickly, bracing against the Buddha palm.

The next instant, the Buddha palm was pierced directly by the Jade Bamboo, splitting apart at the center.

Yet the Buddha palm proceeded unimpeded, crushing down in an instant.

Boom!!!

A world-shaking rumble spread instantly, and the following moment, as the airwaves swept away all the air, the sound vanished.

Loud noise, sparse sound!

The Buddha light blazed as the Buddha's palm and shadow vanished without a trace, transforming into pure Buddha light that spread with the airwave.

In the distance, to the southwest, a hundred miles from the Taihang Sword Sect, four top-tier Half-Step Seek Truth Realm experts besieged a Sword-controlling Elder.

Amidst the crisscrossing of five figures, the four subtly formed a formation, striving to deplete this Supreme Elder of the Taihang Sword Sect with minimal cost.

At such a realm, if careless, every bit of essence lost diminished the hope for further breakthrough. Nobody wanted to stand out, resulting in Ren Tianli's desperate resistance, leaving the four momentarily helpless.

Among them, a domineering, purple-aura exuding middle-aged man said nonchalantly, "Ren Tianli, if you surrender now, this king shall turn you into a living stick, sparing your life."
