Chapter 87 – Birth of a Half-Step Martial God

The twelve pairs of arms of the pitch-black Dharma phase held up the Great Sun Chakra Dharma phase, just like a mythical giant holding up the sun.

The scene was visually stunning.

And even stronger than the visual effect was the power that erupted from the two sides exchanging blows, twelve pairs of arms surging with terrifyingly monstrous power, squeezing the golden sun and trying to crush and strangle it.

The Great Sun Reincarnation Dharma, on the other hand, continued to emanate the power to purify everything, to vaporize and purify the half-step Martial God from his physical body to his soul together.

Wufu’s qi and the Buddha’s light of the Great Sun Reincarnation Dharma Phase intertwined and entangled, turning into a storm that destroyed everything and raged in all directions.

The dark red flesh and blood material that covered the surface like silt was scraped away layer by layer, and there was no more half an inch of flesh and blood material in a hundred meter radius under Shenshu’s feet.

Even the Buddha’s “physical body” could not come close to Shenshu at this time.

“Dang it ……..”

The orange cat Taoist Master struck the bronze bell with great vigor, his Taoist robe fluttered fiercely, his Taoist hairpin fell off, and his white hair and white beard fluttered in the wind.

Yang Gong, who wore the Confucian Crown of Yasheng on his head, cast a spell to increase the power of the bell.

The sound of the bell was only an aid, and what could truly resist the control of the Buddha’s Dharma phase was still Shenshu’s own powerful Yuan Shen.

Chu Yuanzhan closely watched the battlefield while taking out a fragment of the Earth Book and transmitting the message:

[Master Ziyang has come at the right time to solve our urgent problem. Only, Master Shenshu may not be able to fight the Buddha.]

He said it more euphemistically.

Anyone could realize that even if Shenshu, who was already at his peak, still had some gaps compared to the Buddha.

Moreover, if this battle had taken place in the vast lands of the Western Regions, Shenshu might have been defeated by now.

In the palace, Huaiqing looked at this transmission, headache pinch brow, she did not reply to Chu Yuanjian, because she did not know how to answer.

“Mr. Wei, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Wang, what are the three of you’s good strategies for today’s change?” Huaiqing asked in a heavy tone.

This time even the resourceful Wei Yuan could not help.

He mused back:

“Do what you can, and listen to what God has to say.”

Wang Zhenwen added to the details, saying:

“Immediately send out an order for the Prefect of Leizhou to call upon the officials of all states and counties to relocate the people of Leizhou to the east, as many as can be relocated.

“If Shenshu loses, we’ll wait and see how Buddha plans to eat up the Central Plains and how fast he does it, and then we’ll discuss how to deal with it.

“In addition, send someone overseas to retrieve Xu Yinluo, the Da Feng is in dire need of his battle prowess today.”

Zhao Shou sighed:

“If I don’t become a half-step Martial God, I’m afraid it will be difficult to contain the Buddha. But in the current situation, we can only take one step at a time, there is nothing we can do.”

Huaiqing gave a “hmm” and quickly passed on the message:

[1: I will immediately order the Prefecture of Leizhou to relocate the people of Leizhou, and I will trouble you all to do your best to pester the Buddha and stall for time. Daoist Blue Lotus, you are fast, please go out to sea immediately and look for Xu Qi’an.]

Xu Qi’an was overseas, too far away to contact with the ground book fragment.

What Li Miaozhen wanted to do was not really to find Xu Qi’an in the vast ocean, but to bring his Earth Book fragment back into the scope of the transmission, and to convey the changes in the nine states to him.

[II: Understood.]

Li Miaozhen knew the reason why Huaiqing had chosen her to sail; her system overlapped with the Golden Lotus Taoist Master, and there was not much more than one more of her, and not less than one less of her.

As for the Duo Er Luo Han and Master Hengyuan, and even Asura, although there was also system overlap, the Duo Er Luo Han was now the meat and potatoes, and it was too dangerous to act alone and without the fragment of the earth book.

Master Hengyuan was essentially a Fourth Grade, and could only briefly erupt with the power of the Slayer Thief’s Fruitfulness, and it was too much of a stretch for him to allow a Fourth Grade to go out to sea.

Asuro was the pinnacle of the pinnacle of the second grade, an important battle force, and he was missing.

Therefore, Li Miaozhen, who was good at flying with a sword and came and went like the wind, became the best candidate.

With a strong sense of the big picture, Flying Swallow Woman immediately took on the task, not bothering to say goodbye to her companions, she turned her sword into a stream of light and swept towards the south.

“Bang!”

With a loud popping sound, the bronze bell in front of Daoist Master Golden Lotus exploded into pieces.

Li Miaozhen looked back with a huff and saw the scenery around her fading into black and white; she saw the glazed Bodhisattva who had broken the bronze bell appear in front of Daoist Master Jinlian, waving out the jade knife in her hand and beheading the Daoist Master’s head.

Seeing the Garuda Tree appear in the colorless boundary, he easily grabbed the Duo Rohan who was having trouble moving.

The Bodhisattva Guangxian, who saw the image of a young monk, stood in the distance, looking at the scene with a smile on his face.

The three Bodhisattvas struck out.

The Walker Dharma Phase came and went without a trace, catching the crowd off guard with a sneak attack.

And very sensibly, he didn’t strike out at Asuro, Chu Yuanzhuan, and Hengyuan.

It was because all three of them had the crisis premonition of a martial artist.

How can two second-ranking bodhisattvas with no premonition of crisis escape the attack of a first-ranking bodhisattva?

No ……… Li Miaozhen s pupils contracted violently, and the stream of light transformed by the flying sword suddenly stopped.

………..

Overseas.

The huge monster floated on the surface of the sea, sinking and floating with the waves.

Its appearance was not much different from an octopus, but it was covered in greenish-black scales, and at the back of its head was a piece of horny armor like a tortoise’s armor, which at first glance was an extremely strong defensive material.

Endless years had passed, and this flesh body still had not decayed and contained vigorous vitality.

After a certain point, the physical body and the Yuan Shen are actually two different things; the Yuan Shen is silenced, but the vitality of the physical body does not just disappear.

In the case of a third-grade martial artist, even if his soul was scattered, his physical body would retain its vigorous vitality until decades later, when it would gradually weaken, and it would take a hundred years of light to completely lose its vitality.

As for half-step Martial Gods, they were basically immortal, and it would be difficult to kill them even with superpowers.

Even if one day the vitality was really worn out, it would be the flesh and Yuan Shen that would rot together, and would not leave an empty shell of vitality, because the three elements of the peak martial artist’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit had long been united.

Fortunately, although this ancient god and devil control “force”, but not a martial artist.

Otherwise it’s impossible to cheapen Xu Qi’an today.

After bringing the body of the large octopus to the surface of the sea, Xu Qi’an didn’t waste any time as the knot in his throat rolled and he spat out the small jade mirror.

“Ding!”

Fingertips lightly buckle the back of the earth book, an octagonal copper disk shrouded in a blinding light, the next fly out, suspended in the air.

A total of one hundred and eight fast copper disks, each octagonal copper disk is as big as a round table, on which are engraved messy formation patterns, some are like tadpoles, some are lines crisscrossing, and some are like sketches of flames and waves ……..

However, these completely windy formation patterns were arranged in a marvelous rhythm, containing some sort of heaven and earth rules.

This is the array disk that can refine the essence of a first grade powerhouse …….. The Nine-tailed Fox high in the air opened her beautiful eyes wide, trying to memorize the formation patterns on the octagonal copper disk.

“You want it, turn around and use it up, I’ll give you the copper disk.”

Xu Qi’an, who was sitting on the surface of the sea, raised his eyes and smiled:

“We’re all on our own, don’t be polite.”

“Yeah, yeah ……” Nine Tailed Fox is not a subtle and introverted girl.

Xu Qi’an stopped talking and remained seated, floating up in the air.

The one hundred and eight copper disks scattered, each landing in a different direction, suspended above the large octopus and below Xu Qi’an.

Nine-tailed fox only felt that the copper plate situated in the direction of a great deal, secretly the mystery of yin and yang five elements, one hundred and eight pieces of copper plate is composed of a huge, covering a very wide eight trigrams.

Buzz …….

One hundred and eight copper disks rotated clockwise, rippling a circle of clear light.

At first, there was no abnormality, but after a quarter of an hour, the Nine-Tailed Fox saw that in the body of the large octopus, a wisp of scarlet broken light slowly floated out, and upon closer inspection, the broken light consisted of a single twisted pattern.

They were extremely similar to the lines branded on the tentacles of the large octopus.

This is the spiritual embodiment of the ancient gods and demons.

Spiritual embodiment was stripped away and converged towards the copper disk, and these wisps of shattered light were filtered by the copper disk before continuing to float upwards and surging into Xu Qi’an’s body.

Twisted pattern after twisted pattern appeared on Xu Qi’an’s skin, the spirit embodiment of the great octopus.

The power of a God-Devil originated from the Spiritual Aura, and the residual Spiritual Aura within this ancient God-Devil was being transferred little by little into Xu Qi’an’s body.

Looted by a first-rate martial artist from Daibong.

One hundred and eight fast copper disks, a steady stream of them stripping the great octopus of its spiritual energy.

Xu Qi’an’s aura slowly rose while the remnants of the Ancient God-Devil’s body withered little by little.

…………

The back of Shenshu cracked open a mouth and gently exhaled a breath of air.

Click ……. The colorless field unfolded by the glazed Bodhisattva shattered instantly.

In an emergency, Shinshu had to come to his aid, but it was limited to spewing out airplanes and breaking up stationary fields.

“You did come.”

Asura took a deep breath, and his eyes beneath his brow bones sharpened as he scanned the three Bodhisattvas.

“Maybe we should let you mole crickets make a bit more of a splash?”

“Quickly!”

He didn’t forget to transmit his voice to caution Li Miaozhen.

Bodhisattva Guang Xian asked back with a smile.

Yang Gong and the others’ faces were grave as they slowly drew closer to each other.

According to previous experience, three second grades of different systems could join forces to hold back a first grade Bodhisattva of the Buddhist Sect.

Now that the three Bodhisattvas had gathered, they had no chance of winning.

On the other side, Saren Agu suddenly drew out his sheep-catching whip and laughed:

“Just watch the show, why bother meddling in the affairs of the Great Bong and the Buddhist Sect.

“The three Bodhisattvas joining forces is not something you can fight against, so all the chiefs should be careful with their lives.”

He was warning the leaders of the Companions who wanted to come to his aid.

Several chiefs gritted their teeth.

Granny Sky Compass glanced at Saren Agu and faintly said:

“What the Grand Sorcerer said is very true, since the Grand Sorcerer wants us to watch the show, let’s watch.”

The magnificent glazed Bodhisattva suddenly frowned and looked at the head in his hand as it dissipated into a golden light.

And the body of the Golden Lotus Taoist Master, lit up with soft Buddhist light, he was bathed in it, and a brand new head grew out of his neck.

“Unborn fruit position!”

The glazed Bodhisattva raised her willow eyebrows, a rare coldness in her voice:

“You have killed the Duo Sentiment Luo Han, and the Supervisor has promised that he will only imprison him for three years and not take his life.”

Daoist Golden Lotus laughed:

“What does the Supervisor’s promise have to do with the poor Taoist?

“Personal credibility counts for nothing when the country is falling apart.”

Of DaBong’s Transcendent mains, Asuro and Kou Yangzhou won’t die for systemic reasons, etc.

Zhao Shou has a carving knife and a Confucian crown to save his life.

Only he, the head of the Earth Sect Dao, had no means of preserving his life.

Just by relying on the heavenly repercussions of a single homo sapiens to shock the enemy – killing those who are deeply blessed will lead to heavenly tribulation.

The Unborn Fruit Position of the Deity Lohan was used by Daoist Golden Lotus to save his life, just in case.

And it turned out to work.

On the other side, the Duoyu Luohan carried in the hands of the Gala Tree rapidly vaporized, quasi instantly dissolving into nothingness.

This is just a false body, a false body summoned by the Fruit of Supply.

Duo Er Luo Han appeared at Asura’s side, and right now only Asura, a crude Shura martial monk, could give Duo Er Luo Han a hint of security.

“Doo-doo!”

Bodhisattva Guang Xian shook his head in disappointment and sighed:

“The Buddhas have treated you well.”

Duo Yu Luohan folded his hands and faintly said:

“As far as this seat is concerned, you are nothing but heretics.”

The glazed Bodhisattva’s voice was cold and cold, already boiling with killing intent:

“Why bother with nonsense, it doesn’t take much effort to crush a few ants.”

Lifted his foot and was about to step down.

Yang Gong said sharply:

“Retreat three hundred feet.”

The glazed bodhisattva paused in the posture of raising his foot, but stepped down anyway.

The surrounding scenery instantly fades to black and white.

Yang Gong’s spells weren’t useless, it was just that for the Walker Dharma Phase, a distance of three hundred feet could be turned around in an instant.

Outsiders couldn’t even tell she had ever left.

Shenshu, who was caught in a bitter battle, once again cracked his mouth at the back and blew into a chakra.

This time, the Buddha didn’t let him have his way, and the Dharma phase of the Immovable King made seals with both hands, blocking off that battlefield and letting the qi crash into the spatial barrier.

The colorless field re-covered Asuro and the others.

Just then, a streak of light lit up in the east, when it first appeared, it was still a star hanging in the night sky, and in the next moment, it descended like a shooting star, directly tearing through the colorless glazed field.

Sword Qi is full of Qiankun!

“The land gods are here, this is lively.” Saren Agu laughed.

………..

Overseas.

The remnants of the Ancient God Demon’s body had shrunk to less than half of its original size.

On the contrary, Xu Qi’an’s image at the moment was that of a giant with a hundred feet of height and swollen muscles.

A twisted pattern, like a tattoo, was imprinted on the surface of his body.

The nine-tailed fox closed her eyes, not daring to look at the Spirit Embracing Patterns that made her dizzy.

In her eyes, Xu Qi’an at this moment was a symbol of power, the embodiment of “force”.

Every characteristic and concept of “power” you can imagine can be found in him.

Xu Qi’an closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes within his body.

After seizing the ancient gods and devils’ spiritual embodiment, his cultivation, which was already on the verge of entering the middle stage, smoothly poked through the windowpaper and entered the middle stage of the first grade, immediately after breaking through the middle stage and entering the late stage, and that wasn’t the end of it.

The power continued to skyrocket and continued to approach the Great Perfection.

However, it stopped at the final step of being on the verge of becoming a half-step Martial God.

Because his Essence is out of balance.

The word balance is the secret of the First Class Martial Artist, the basic disk.

When he devoured the spirit embodiment of the ancient gods and devils and his qi and qi and blood soared, his Yuan Shen was not tempered.

The consequence of imbalance is to go off the deep end.

He would stay in his current territory, but lose the possibility of advancing to a half-step Martial God.

Right now, there were two ways, the first was to seal a portion of the qi and blood, and then do the fusion in the future when the Yuan Shen was upgraded.

The second is to dilute the genjutsu to fit into the overpowering essence.

The latter belongs to forced promotion, equivalent to walking a tightrope, there is the danger of promotion failure to go off the deep end.

“I suddenly understand the true meaning of Shenshu’s words when I was at the God Refining Realm.”

When he died in Cloud State, he had a conversation with Shenshu in the depths of his sea of consciousness, and the Shenshu of that time said:

When an ordinary martial artist refines the gods, they are only initially feeling their way to the limit, and this is the lower class. To constantly break through the limits in desperate situations is superior.

Xu Qi’an’s Divine Refinement Realm results were the upper class.

Amazing, isn’t it? Paid for with my life.

Of the nine grades of martial artists, only the Refined Spirit Realm was the main cultivation of the Yuan Shen.

Xu Qi’an’s foundation at this stage was unbelievably strong, more compact and sturdy than any other martial artist.

In other words, his Yuan Shen toughness was stronger than other martial artists.

Therefore, he chose the second path, diluting the Yuan Shen into his essence and forcing his way up.

His Yuan Shen tore into countless pieces and fused with the massive essence, if the Yuan Shen was a complete cloth before, it was now a fishing net.

It’s gotten bigger, but it’s littered with gaps.

Once one of the threads collapsed, his Yuan Shen would collapse and turn into a delirious madman.

Unfortunately, the “lines” did start to break, so how easy was it to ascend to half-step Martial God?

Xu Qi’an first clearly felt the pain of his soul being torn apart, and then his consciousness began to be confused, a confusion that intensified with the collapse of a single line.

He began to forget who he was, who he had been, and who he was surrounded by.

It wouldn’t take long for Xu Qi’an to completely lose himself and become a deranged lunatic.

It was at this time that he heard shouts in the distance:

“Xu Yinluo, Xu Yinluo ………”

Countless people were shouting, and countless voices transformed into the three words “Xu Yinluo”.

At the same time, another voice echoed in his head:

“Three Thousand Worlds Supreme Buddha, Three Thousand Worlds Supreme Buddha ……..”

The two shouts primed Xu Qi’an to find himself, and he flew to gather his fuming spirit, repairing the crumbling threads one by one.

………

High in the air, the nine-tailed fox shivered, its eight furry tails, wrapping its body in a ball.

She curled up in mid-air like a soft, pathetic fox.

The sea raised huge waves, the entire land shook, and the sky was intertwined with thunder and lightning, splitting down a thunderbolt.

In this scene that was like the end of the world, Xu Qi’an opened his eyes, and his eyes snowed like pillars of light, instantly piercing through the gloomy clouds and straight into the sky.

A half-step Martial God was born.

……….
