Li Shiming confronted the Angry-eyed Vajra, recognizing him as the Mountain and Water Great Bodhisattva. Li Shiming's display of Immortal Energy and an Immortal Body shocked the Angry-eyed Vajra, who realized Li Shiming was invincible in the lower realm. As the Angry-eyed Vajra attempted to retreat, Li Shiming attacked, injecting Immortal Energy and Chaos Sword Intent into him. This shattered both the Angry-eyed Vajra's and the Mountain and Water Great Bodhisattva's souls within the avatar. Li Shiming then had his Heavenly Ghost devour the weakened body and souls, significantly boosting the Heavenly Ghost's power.

The aura of the Heavenly Ghost constantly rose, reaching the peak of fifth-grade in no time. If not for Li Shiming timely casting several spells, the Heavenly Ghost might have already started to break through to a higher realm.

Without any preparation and without its master having ascended first, if the Heavenly Ghost forcefully ascends, it would become uncontrollable and be obliterated by Heavenly Thunder.

Luckily, Li Shiming had promptly restrained the excess spiritual energy of the Heavenly Ghost, making it stay at the peak of fifth-grade realm.

Li Shiming shook his head and looked toward the statue of Buddha.

The surface of the Buddha statue was extremely dim at this moment, resembling a worn-out statue.

But he remembered, upon first encounter, the statue was shimmering with light, completely unlike its current appearance.

He picked up the statue, sensing the Buddha Seal inside, which was the spiritual imprint left by the Angry-eyed Vajra, though the imprint now was extremely weak.

In Li Shiming’s mind came the Ancient Secret Skill he found in the Immortal Alliance Book Collection Pavilion, a curse method using spiritual imprints.

If the Angry-eyed Vajra was not injured, the curse’s effectiveness wouldn’t have much impact on him.

Yet Li Shiming believed that the Angry-eyed Vajra, who lost one-tenth of its soul, could not be unharmed.

He lightly scratched his finger, creating a small wound.

Then he used the blood flowing from the wound to draw a complex pattern in the air, infusing it with eerie black demonic energy from his body.

Immortal Energy was cultivated through the ‘Heavenly Human Technique’, naturally possessing the special effect of the technique: it could be transformed into any form of energy.

This curse secret technique belonged to the demonic path, thus requiring demonic energy to activate.

Ancient demonic secret techniques placed in the Immortal Alliance’s Book Collection Pavilion were not simple.

Once the pattern was infused with demonic energy, it transformed into a black skull, lunging toward the interior of the Buddha statue, biting into the Buddhist Seal.

In the Upper Realm, the Angry-eyed Vajra was sitting cross-legged, about to ingest a stalk of Immortal Herb.

Just before the Immortal Herb entered his mouth, he felt a pang of panic, followed by the emergence of a Heavenly Demon illusion from his soul.

Once the Heavenly Demon illusion emerged, it immediately began devouring his soul energy.

If his soul hadn’t been severely damaged earlier, even if a Heavenly Demon appeared, he could have used Buddhist methods to drive it away.

But now, his soul was at its weakest point, the Heavenly Demon illusion appeared within, devouring his soul energy unobstructed.

“No!” The Angry-eyed Vajra shouted in fury.

Just then, he tried to contact other Buddhas, but the Heavenly Demon illusion, having devoured the soul energy, solidified, becoming a true Heavenly Demon.

Most terrifyingly, this Heavenly Demon had devoured the soul energy of a Buddha, making it even more powerful.

The Angry-eyed Vajra’s eyes grew increasingly blood-red, his rationality waning.

Ultimately, the Buddhist aura vanished from him, his physical form turned black, and he charged out in anger.

Li Shiming didn’t know the ultimate outcome of the ancient curse he performed, only that the curse attack could avenge the Angry-eyed Vajra’s assault.

He also did not know that across the Cultivation World, Buddhist Practitioners who cultivated the ‘Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill’ and other Buddhist cultivation techniques originating from the Angry-eyed Vajra suddenly found their power greatly diminished.

Especially those Buddhist Practitioners who could originally connect with the Angry-eyed Vajra to significantly enhance the power of their cultivation technique lost this connection inexplicably.

In numerous temples, statues of the Angry-eyed Vajra crumbled one by one.

The Angry-eyed Vajra statue in Li Shiming’s hand had disintegrated to dust after he performed the ancient curse.

Casually storing the Mountain and Water Great Bodhisattva’s corpse, he turned and headed to the Seven Immortals Residence.

Near the Seven Immortals Residence, he discovered the presence of Buddhist Bodhisattvas.

Instantly realizing why he could not contact Yin Shilan, he waved his hand, releasing a dozen Immortal Energy Sword Lights.

The dozen Buddhist Bodhisattvas were slain by the Immortal Energy Sword Light before even identifying their enemy.

“It seems I need to become even stronger; the Angry-eyed Vajra from the Upper Realm will not spare me!” Though Li Shiming had killed all his enemies, he was not in a good mood, muttering to himself.

He was yet unaware of the Angry-eyed Vajra’s fate, believing the Vajra might be slightly harmed at most.

No matter what, when he ascends, he will still be the weakest being in the Upper Realm, and at that time, may not be able to fend off the Angry-eyed Vajra’s revenge.

This would be an unsolvable problem for other cultivators, but he had his own ideas.

If Li Yuanba, Li Taibai, and the Six-Winged Archangel Jin Sheng ascend to the Upper Realm with him, they could at least have the strength for a fight together.

“Perhaps one Six-Winged Archangel is a bit too few!” Li Shiming couldn’t create a powerful Great Immortal Envoy quickly, but he could create Six-Winged Archangels.

At this moment, the Divine Domain belonged entirely to him, yet he did not wish to exploit the Divine Domain.

The existence of the Divine Domain held special significance; without this adversary, the human world might not remain united as it is.

He was deeply aware of human flaws; without external enemies, the battle among human cultivators would go on rampantly.

Look at the Immortal Domain; it opposed the Divine Domain, creating a unified Immortal Alliance.

If the Divine Domain ceased to exist, the Immortal Alliance would immediately collapse, leading to Great Immortal Envoy struggles over interests, factions seizing space.

Without the Divine Domain, perhaps after ten thousand years, the human world’s strength would recede significantly.

Thus, in his view, the Divine Domain must continue to exist.

The demise of the Mountain and Water Great Bodhisattva and dozens of Buddhist Bodhisattvas didn’t cause much reaction from the Immortal Alliance.

The Mountain and Water Great Bodhisattva had some status within the alliance, mainly due to being a Great Bodhisattva, one of the primary combat forces of the Immortal Alliance.

But as for causing a major impact, that was unlikely, not to mention Li Yuanba was managing things.

Li Shiming didn’t inform the Immortal Alliance about this; it was best to keep his victory over the Upper Realm Buddha’s avatar a secret.

In the following days, Li Shiming sent all his ‘Holy Spirits,’ even half-step fifth-grade ‘Holy Spirits,’ to the Six-Winged Archangel Jin Sheng.

The Six-Winged Archangel Jin Sheng mobilized altar energy to enhance the cultivation of these ‘Holy Spirits.’

Li Shiming also crafted more ‘Holy Spirits,’ sending them into the Divine Domain.

Gradually, most of the upper echelons of ‘Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ in the Divine Domain were his subordinates.

Li Taibai, accompanied by a Four-Winged Great Angel, went to the Cultivation Land, including places Li Shiming hadn’t visited.

Back then, Li Shiming didn’t have a comprehensive Cultivation World map; now, with Immortal Alliance’s power, every Cultivation Land was clearly recorded on the map.

Li Taibai’s task was to find all Buddha statues and extract the power of faith inside for the Four-Winged Great Angel to absorb.

Decades later, Li Taibai returned to the Immortal Domain, sending the Four-Winged Great Angel to the Immortal Domain’s border.

The Four-Winged Great Angel returned to the Divine Domain’s Divine Palace, barely needing more to complete its divine form.

Back at the Divine Palace, the Six-Winged Archangel assigned some of the divine power from the palace to the Four-Winged Great Angel, and over time, a second Six-Winged Archangel emerged within the Divine Palace.

Unfortunately, this was the utmost Li Shiming could achieve.

Unless he decided to destroy the Divine Domain, he could not nurture a third Six-Winged Archangel.

Of course, given him ten thousand years, human world statues might accumulate enough faith power again.

Alternatively, the Divine Domain could gather faith power to cultivate a new Six-Winged Archangel.

However, he could not afford to wait another ten thousand years; already an Immortal Body, his lifespan, even exceeding ten thousand years, was not an issue.

But Li Yuanba, Li Taibai, and Yin Shilan could not wait; without ascension, their lifespan would exhaust within ten thousand years.

What Li Shiming needed to do now was to strive for cultivation, enhancing his strength as much as possible.
