History's Number 1 Founder

One party was once a human emperor who ruled the entire Divine Lands and finally abdicated the throne to become a monk. He created Buddhism and his legacy was passed down for ages. Since the Antiquity Age, there were many believers in Buddhism. He went to the Death Sea during the Antiquity Age and finally returned to the Greater World today.

The other party made an astonishing rise and created the Celestial Sect of Wonders. In decades, he completed what others couldn’t do in thousands of years. He achieved complete dominance in the Divine Lands.

The former was the leader of Buddhism while the latter was the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. These two legendary characters were about to challenge each other in the Spirit Sea today.

Shakyamuni’s cultivation was far superior to the Cosmic Marble Buddha!

He clasped his palms together. His middle fingers were straight as swords, while his index fingers extended behind his middle fingers.

This was the last style of the Vairocana Zen Palm Fist Print, the Vajra-Freedom Print!

As his fist was unleashed, Buddhist lights filled the entire world. The lights in front of Lin Feng seemed to have dimmed and he seemed to have descended into a world formed by this domineering Vajra-Freedom Fist Print.

Shakyamuni’s fist controlled the present and the Greater World, its dominance demonstrated in its fist will. It was completely irresistible.

His fist will seem to turn into a complete entity. As one was trapped in the world formed by this fist will, he was completely segregated from the rest of the world and was stuck in a sea of bitterness.

Lin Feng was slightly moved. He felt as very introspective and believed that this was a good chance for him to comprehend the Dao.

However, he was sure that this Dao was that of Buddhism. Once he comprehended it, he could become a follower of Buddhism and escape the sea of bitterness. If he couldn’t comprehend it, he would be stuck forever, unable to seek release and attain freedom.

When Buddhism preached about achieving dominance in the Heavens and Earth, the aforementioned ‘Heavens and Earth’ actually referred to one’s self. It was only by understanding one’s true self could one avoid all sorts of evil and eventually attain freedom.

Lin Feng smiled when he saw this scene, “It’s a pity. You have your Dao, while I have my own.”

He tackled Shakyamuni’s fist with his own fist. Yin and Yang were reversed, while the Heavens and Earth was flipped. The luminaries in the sky started to shake.

In void space, there seemed to be many universes that existed. Every universe descended into chaos. The luminaries shifted and caused a huge uproar.

As this brutal and ferocious force gathered, boundaries became blurred. Reality seemed to have been transcended, interfering with the fist will that was unleashed by Shakyamuni that created the world of the Vajra-Freedom Print, known as the Vajra World.

The sea of bitterness created by the fist will raged at this point, as it was slowly degrading.

A spot of radiance rose from the sea of bitterness, guiding Lin Feng to break free from the Vajra World.

Shakyamuni spoke for the first time as he looked at Lin Feng. His voice was very majestic, resonating through the entire Greater World. He also sounded like he was whispering into everyone’s ear, “The ability to avoid external confusion will lead to one’s understanding of his true self.”

As he muttered this simple sentence, Lin Feng’s body started to emit streaks of Buddhist lights. They shone so brightly that he seemed almost transparent at this point; he was about to convert into the appearance of a Buddha.

Lin Feng was unbothered by this and shook his head, “The countless Great Dao in the Heavens and Earth will eventually return to the same origin. Comrade, you’re confused.”

Instantly, the Buddhist lights around him dimmed. They seemed to have been destroyed and he returned to his original state.

Shakyamuni remained calm and only smiled as he heard Lin Feng’s words. He didn’t rebut Lin Feng and only unleashed his palm at Lin Feng again.

This time, his palm wasn’t any of the ten styles of the Vairocana Zen Palm Fist Print that Lin Feng recognized. It wasn’t the Cakkavala Print, Infinite Print, Intelligent Fist Print, Dhyana-Mudra Print or the last Vajra-Freedom Print.

He just extended his palm before placing it vertically straight. His palm faced Lin Feng and pushed out.

However, this move exerted more pressure on Lin Feng than the Vajra-Freedom Fist Print earlier.

As this palm was unleashed, the Heavens and Earth seemed to become empty. Everything ceased to exist anymore.

Lin Feng wasn’t supposed to exist either.

The world, sea of bitterness and karma disappeared. Everything seemed to have disappeared. The past couldn’t be seen, suffering wasn’t known, and freedom couldn’t be attained. Everything earlier seemed to have become a hallucination. The original look in this world was restored.

Everything in the world had become real again, except one’s self.

Lin Feng felt that he had also turned into nothing. He didn’t disappear and cease to exist. Rather, he didn’t appear to have existed before.

“Good! Good! Good!” Lin Feng laughed, “This is the real Vairocana Zen Palm. If not for this divinity, how could it have become the first Martial Way move in the history of the Divine Lands?”

As he laughed, Lin Feng’s Dao Fruit appeared above his head. The mysticality of his Dao Fruit was indescribable and couldn’t be figured out. It seemed to be the origin and the end of everything.

Although the Dao Fruit was revealed, Lin Feng didn’t summon its effect. He tackled Shakyamuni’s fist with another of his fist strike again.

However, he didn’t convert the Inverse the Universe into a fist will this time.

The empty world started to surface with strips of Great Dao radiance. After that, these radiances gathered towards Lin Feng. Countless streaks of flowing lights descended. This was an astonishing scene.

Spots and spots of light drifted above Lin Feng. There were so many of them that it was difficult to count how many of them there was.

These spots of light turned into talismanic words, that gathered together and landed in Lin Feng’s sea of awareness.

In his sea of awareness, these words formed up and evolved the magical concepts of the Heavens and Earth.

Eventually, the words converted into a mystical and unpredictable essay. This essay then formed a Taiji Diagram that revolved in Lin Feng’s sea of awareness. It felt as if this Taiji Diagram contained all the concepts of the Great Dao.

The fourth chapter of the Heavenly Classic of the Way’s Virtue, the Book of Taiji!

As Lin Feng’s fist was struck, spots of light surfaced. They intersected together and revealed his mystical fist will.

There seemed to be many spots of light, but everything was clear in the Buddha’s eyes, “129600…”

The Dao in the Heavens and Earth seemed to supplement Lin Feng’s fist. Wherever the aura of his fist passed, new matter would appear in this empty world.

The fist wills of the both of them clashed at this point. Neither gave way to the other. This was probably the most intense clash of the Martial Way in the history of the Divine Lands.

The Book of Taiji was slowly becoming complete as he fought the Buddha, who was at the Final Stage of the Second Tribulation of Destiny and who was in the Realm of Indestructibility. (Translator’s Note: The Realm of Indestructibility will be further explained in succeeding chapters.)

This also enabled his fist to become stronger. As strips of Great Dao enhanced his strength, he managed to unleash an astonishing force. He managed to reach the peak of his strength as his mind and body combined.

Although the Buddha couldn’t see the Book of Taiji that was slowly becoming complete in Lin Feng’s sea of awareness, he could still feel the change in Lin Feng’s aura.

Shakyamuni didn’t speak. He started to push his other fist towards Lin Feng.

However, it wasn’t a Martial Way move this time. A swastika sign spun in the center of his palm.

This swastika sign carried countless projections as it spun. These projections were so huge that it was almost impossible to contain them. They also seemed very heavy.

As Lin Feng looked at these projections, they revealed the behavior of countless lives. They were the experiences of countless lives.

The lives of people since the Primordial Age to the Modern Age, which continued extending to the future.

The past, present and future of countless people. The past, present and future of the Grand Celestial World.

The life experiences of every single existence in this world led to countless seeds of karma being planted.

Karmic lines started to fill void space and they shone extremely brightly. There were countless of them.

The karma of all life from the past to the future gathered in these projections as Buddha’s palm came crashing towards Lin Feng.

The heavy feeling made everyone feel that it was unbearable.

Most cultivators below the Realm of Indestructibility would find it unbearable and even become mentally deranged as karma engulfed them. Only a few could take it.

Even cultivators that were in the same Realm of Indestructibility as the were unable to see things clearly in this realm.

As the karmic lines started to engulf Lin Feng, it felt as if he couldn’t escape and his powers and intelligence seemed to be on the verge of destruction.

Lin Feng didn’t move at this moment but started to sense everything that was going on around him.

To him, such a feeling had become extremely unfamiliar.

Right now, he seemed to experience the complex life process of countless lives. He experienced boundless time, but he didn’t know where the final destination was.

Perhaps there wasn’t going to be a final destination. If there was an end one day, it might be the end of life – the end of life along with the destruction of the Greater World.

Right now, Lin Feng’s powers seemed to be dissipating quickly. Only the Taiji Diagram revealed by his Book of Taiji in his sea of awareness continued to revolve. His Dao Fruit also floated quietly above his head.

He seemed to have survived an eternity, but it also felt as if only a short time had passed.

Lin Feng grinned suddenly. Before the Buddha made his next move, his aura started to experience new changes.

His powers soared once again and reached their peak.

The karmic lines that engulfed his body started to disappear.

The Dao Fruit above his head fell and combined with his body. He seemed to be the origin and final destination of karma at this point.

A layer of seemingly bright and dark radiance coated Lin Feng’s body at this point. This radiance seemed able to contain everything that existed and understood the reasoning behind everything.

The cause of everything could be found here. The outcome of everything could also be discovered here.

More karmic lines fell towards Lin Feng, but they seemed to disappear above him. They seemed to have fallen into water without causing any ripples. There were no sounds and not even a single undulation was caused.

Shakyamuni shouted as he saw this, “Indeed so.”

The Cosmic Marble Buddha also said the same thing, “Indeed so.”

As if his guess had been verified, Shakyamuni shook his head. He retracted his palm. The karmic lines disappeared and returned back to his body.

Even though he stopped summoning the Three Lifetimes Karmic Curse, Shakyamuni didn’t stop. He flipped his palm over and started to attack Lin Feng again!
