The news of Lin Yu's revival spread rapidly across all realms.
The Grand Brahma Heavenly Master, Immortal Buddha, naturally also learned of this. Upon hearing the news, he was stunned.
"Impossible! I clearly sensed his soul and body dissipating!"
"What reason could have caused him to revive?"
"Could some ancient being be meddling behind the scenes?"
"Is it the Immortal Emperor of the Grand Luo Heaven?"
"No, no, no, the Grand Luo Heaven doesn't possess the ability to revive!"
"What in the world is going on?"
He could no longer remain calm.
Beside him, a Vajra guard stood respectfully. "My Buddha, are you troubled?"
Immortal Buddha's brow furrowed. He nodded. "That Lin Yu has revived again and has reached the gate of our Grand Brahma Heaven space."
The Vajra guard pondered for a moment and then volunteered, "My Buddha, your subordinate is willing to share your burden!"
Immortal Buddha glanced at him and shook his head. "Your strength is inferior to that of a Bodhisattva. Going there would be suicide. We must send the Buddha manifestation instead!"
He sighed, feeling fortunate that he had not reclaimed the power of the Buddha manifestation. With a thought, the Buddha manifestation flew from afar. The two exchanged a look, and the Buddha manifestation understood its mission. It bowed and flew towards the space gate.
At this moment.
At the Grand Brahma Heavenly space gate.
Lin Yu stood in the void. He did not destroy the space gate but was waiting for all his clones to arrive. With a total of 250 million clones, even after all were merged, there were 250 million-level merged clones. Aside from ten guarding humanity and ten guarding Lin Yu's main body, the remaining 230 merged clones had all arrived here. They were in various forms, led by a magnified version of Lin Yu, each standing ten thousand meters tall, reaching for the heavens, majestic and towering like mountains, standing before the Grand Brahma Heavenly space gate.
This time, Lin Yu had learned his lesson and appeared directly as merged clones. Over two hundred merged clones blocked the entrance to the Grand Brahma Heavenly space gate. The monks of the Grand Brahma Heaven attempted to stop them but were all killed. The survivors fled. He had clearly occupied the area.
The powerhouses of all realms watched this scene with wonder.
"He's blocking their doorstep. That's incredibly insulting."
"Haha, let's see how the Grand Brahma Heaven plans to respond?"
"They'll probably send the Buddha manifestation again. Can Lin Yu defeat the Buddha manifestation?"
"Yes, that Buddha manifestation still has the power of Immortal Buddha within it that hasn't been used yet."
"Look, there's movement!"
"..."
Everyone looked and saw ripples appearing in the space gate. This indicated that a being was about to emerge. Lin Yu's consciousness attached to the magnified Lin Yu and watched this scene. With a soft hum, a familiar figure appeared before all beings.
"It's the Buddha manifestation!" someone shouted loudly.
Indeed, a Buddha enveloped in golden light strode forth. His body was bathed in golden light, and his face was serene. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and green flames of rage erupted from them. Compassion and anger appeared on the same face, creating a stark contradiction. He clasped his hands together, surveyed the surroundings, and frowned. "Amitabha. Congratulations, benefactor, on your resurrection. However, this Grand Brahma Heaven of mine is not a place for scum like you to visit!"
"Retreat quickly, or I will send you all to the depths of reincarnation."
His words stirred the anger of many. The Buddha manifestation's sweeping gaze had clearly included them, the onlookers. But though they were angry, they did not dare to show it.
"You are still as hypocritical as ever. Fine, I won't waste too much time with you. My priority today is to take your life," Lin Yu said softly.
The Buddha manifestation chuckled coldly. "Benefactor, you have quite the temper, resorting to killing at every turn. You are truly a killing fiend. Let me, the poor monk, tame your murderous aura and bring clarity back to the world."
"Boasting shamelessly. Die!"
Lin Yu was furious and commanded all his merged clones to focus their attacks.
"Great Sun Setting Flame!"
"Tower of Four Elements!"
"Twilight of the Gods!"
"Multi-Artifact Array!"
"..."
Instantly, skills flew out, obscuring the sky and locking down space, preventing the Buddha manifestation from escaping. The Buddha manifestation's expression changed drastically.
"How could he have become so powerful?"
It was no wonder he was shocked. Before Lin Yu's revival, his strength was not this immense. But now, he was many times stronger. Even any single merged clone was more powerful than him. And there were over two hundred merged clones! What was he to do?
He gritted his teeth, took out his alms bowl, and threw it into the air. *Crack!* The alms bowl held for only a few seconds before emitting sounds of being unable to bear the strain and shattering. Broken? He looked on in disbelief. This was a Buddhist artifact that had accompanied him for countless years, something he cherished. Today, it shattered so easily.
"This is not good!"
*Rumble!!!*
The remaining attacks descended. In the instant of his daze, they completely engulfed him.
All beings watched this scene with immense satisfaction. However, they knew in their hearts that the Buddha manifestation had not yet revealed his trump card.
"Lin Yu, don't let your guard down. He has the power of Immortal Buddha within him. If he self-detonates, the power will be immense!"
"Yes, you should retreat quickly. If he self-detonates, it's almost equivalent to an Immortal Buddha's self-detonation. That's no joke."
"Lin Yu, temporarily avoid his sharp edge. Wait until he self-detonates, then seek revenge."
Lin Yu heard this and looked around, expressing his gratitude. "Everyone's words are remembered. However, I am no longer the same person as before and do not fear him!"
"Kill!"
Lin Yu did not order his clones to retreat. The merged clones continued to unleash their skills. Another round of attacks fell, and the Buddha manifestation finally could not hold on.
"Lin Yu, you forced this upon me! If I must die, let us die together!"
He mobilized the power from Immortal Buddha within him and released it wildly. As long as the power was released, he could temporarily break through to the Immortal Buddha realm. However, the drawback was that he would be ostracized and suppressed by the world. He could not resist the world alone, so he could only maintain the strength of an Immortal Buddha for one minute.
*Rumble!!!*
A loud sound echoed. All attacks were dispelled by a beam of Buddha light. Then, a giant Buddha, ten thousand meters tall, emerged. Someone recognized the identity of the giant Buddha and exclaimed in shock.
"It's Immortal Buddha! It's definitely him. I saw him once before."
"No, this is a manifestation of Immortal Buddha's power. It can temporarily unleash Immortal Buddha's strength, but it cannot last!"
"Look, Lin Yu seems excited."
"He's not fleeing? Why is he going forward?"
"Lin Yu, hurry and escape! The Buddha manifestation cannot hold on for long. He will surely self-detonate. Why are you so close? Are you trying to die?"
"It's over, Lin Yu is going to repeat the same mistake again!"
"Alas, why didn't he listen to advice!"
"Huh? Something's not right. Lin Yu's merged clones won?"
"That was too easy? It was a complete annihilation!"
