Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 563 Heavenly Punishment
"Go on? You are so arrogant!"

Perhaps it was because of Qin Huai's words, there was suddenly a rumbling sound of thunder in the thick clouds in the sky, and Dongfang Wudi, who witnessed the tragic death of his confidant, reappeared in front of everyone. The morale of the White Lotus Sect, whose morale had just suffered a severe blow, was like a shot of adrenaline, and became high-spirited again.

"How dare you bark like a dead dog?"

Qin Huai, who had sharp senses and was otherworldly, only took a glance and could tell that Dongfang Wudi was not in a good condition. Although his momentum had not weakened, in Qin Huai's opinion, he was just a spent force and it was hard to say how long he could last.

Dongfang Wudi was seen suspended in the air, with the purple flames on his body burning away all the clouds and mist. His strong body was like piled up lava, with countless cracks appearing. Dark red light was revealed, making him look like a porcelain doll on the verge of breaking.

After hearing Qin Huai's ridicule, Dongfang Wudi turned a deaf ear to it and tightly grasped the [Zhen Qiankun] in his hand. The cracks on his body suddenly burst into bright light, which condensed into an extremely huge purple sun behind him. The heart-pounding terrifying waves slowly spread out, suppressing the entire audience.

"Do you want to use the power of the magic weapon to continue ascending from a [celestial being] to a god?"

Whether it was Li Shimin who was facing the enemy head-on, or Qin Huai who was watching the battle from the sidelines, they both had a very good understanding of the martial arts of gods and demons, and knew that Dongfang Wudi was now in a life-and-death situation where he had to advance or retreat, like a nuclear bomb that could explode at any time and was extremely unstable.

Different from the [Great Heavenly Demon Art], [Mirror of the Universe] and [Tathagata Palm] in the hands of the two, which were created by ancient gods and demons, the [Nine Yang Divine Art] practiced by Dongfang Wudi is essentially just human martial arts. Although he has achieved the Nine Yang Qitai (Seven Palaces) realm that can fight against gods and demons by relying on his lofty ideals and in-depth development of human potential, and can [Nine Yang Return to One] to open up the divine meridians and [Combine Yang Return to One] to become Yang Yuan, but the upper limit of his accumulated power is only the peak of the Seven Palaces.

Dongfang Wudi is a rare genius that can only be seen once in a thousand years. It is indeed astonishing that he can push the [Nine Yang Divine Art] to the Ten Yang Realm comparable to the Six Gods. However, a very tricky problem also arises.

That is, the strong physique he had tempered through the [Nine Yang Divine Art] could not bear the terrible burden of the Ten Yang Realm. Even if he could barely control the Ten Yang Holy Fire with the help of the Divine Vein Yang Yuan, over time, his limbs and bones would gradually disintegrate. When the spiritual vitality in his body was burned out, he would end up with his soul scattered, and even reincarnation would become a luxury.
Through the study of martial arts such as Zhenwu Fa, although Qin Huai has not yet obtained the key to practicing the [Nine Yang Divine Art], he is also clear that if he masters one method, he will master all methods. If Dongfang Wudi wants to solve this problem, he must advance from "simple human body" to "divine body and demonic body".

In the words of Yamabu Xingzou, it means to completely achieve the Dharma body and reach the level of the six officials.

Qin Huai could see clearly that at this moment Dongfang Wudi was able to control the Ten Yang Holy Fires with ease. Apart from the foundation laid by his Divine Vein Yang Yuan, he was also inseparable from the power of the magic weapon [Zhen Qiankun].

However, according to Qin Huai's judgment, the power of the magic weapon [Zhen Qiankun] can at most help Dongfang Wudi to possess a [celestial] body comparable to the Six Gods. However, it is simply impossible for him to truly possess the [divine body, demonic body] of the Six Gods level, which is no different from the Great Accomplishment Dharmakaya.

".Unfortunately, the ancient sword in your hand is only a divine weapon after all!"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, the axe in his hand rumbled down from the sky like a white-hot thunder!
At the same time, a blurry Buddha statue sitting cross-legged appeared behind him. Countless living spirits, dotted like stars, scattered from all things and overflowing in the world, gathered together and poured into the body of the Buddha statue, as if the Buddhist believers in the whole fruit had borrowed a little power. In the blink of an eye, the blurry Buddha statue expanded into a huge Buddha standing tall and clear.

"Heavenly Buddha comes to the world!"

The dazzling and gigantic Buddha's palm, with its unparalleled internal energy fluctuations, followed closely behind the Phoenix's axe strike and collided with the giant purple sun above Dongfang Wudi's head. The flames that could not be looked at directly shot up into the sky, making the real sun in the sky seem a little dim.

Flames surged across the sky, and in the midst of that light, there seemed to be an extremely deep and dark singularity. The purple sun that was split in half by the axe blade rolled back and poured into the singularity before it was extinguished by the Buddha's palm, forming a corona layer that kept collapsing inward, like a black hole that could swallow the world. The irresistible huge suction made the space fluctuate like ripples, which was very terrifying.

Li Shimin looked closely and saw that the person in the deep singularity was none other than Dongfang Wudi, whose body was mostly broken apart and almost completely replaced by the Ten Sun Holy Fires!
"Interesting, even after burning to this extent, the lines still haven't broken."

Qin Huai, whose eyes had been dyed with black and white without knowing when, murmured softly. In his vision, Dongfang Wudi was not a flame man holding an ancient sword at all, but a group of black lines that were orderly in chaos. The bright and rich colors like fire surged in his body, impacting the tight lines on the outer layer.

Bang!
Dongfang Wudi, who swallowed all the surging purple flames and gathered them into his body, opened his eyes angrily, and a column of light that seemed to be real spurted out. With the ancient sword in his hand as the blade, he rushed forward and stabbed directly into the palm of the Buddha that was approaching him. Then, the Buddha's image collapsed bit by bit, and a sharp sound that shook the earth suddenly sounded and reached everyone's ears.

"Ten Sun Holy Fires, Five Absolutes united as one, lawless, Dongfang Wuji!"

The flames swirled, and Dongfang Wudi, who turned into an aurora, rushed out from the Buddha's palm like a blazing sun crashing into the earth, carrying an amazing and indestructible heat, and rushed towards Li Shimin!
Tsk~
Wherever Dongfang Wudi pushed past, even the void was torn into a narrow crack of nearly a hundred feet long. Countless disgusting black air emerged from it, causing Li Shimin to frown.

But at this moment he had no time to think too much. He could only stare closely at the dazzling figure, while stepping on [Thunder God Speed], quickly retreating to create distance, throwing out the [Phoenix] silver axe, and his hands changing various Sanskrit seals like a butterfly flying through flowers. The powerful divine palm internal energy covered his body surface, and the Buddha's palm composed of Sanskrit seals was slowly pushed out, facing Dongfang Wudi who came to his door.

boom!
Axe and sword collided, palms fell and flames rose. Li Shimin pinched [Zhen Qiankun] with two fingers to pick up the silver axe of [Phoenix] and flew away. He looked calmly at Dongfang Wudi who was like the god of fire in front of him. The internal energy of the divine palm borrowed from the spirits of heaven and earth was endless. Although it was difficult to compete with the Ten Yang Holy Fire, he still suppressed this extremely dangerous group of purple sun temporarily with the advantage of numbers.

Bang bang bang! ! !
Buddha's light and purple flames intertwined and entangled, and continuous violent explosions rang out in the sky and earth. The scorching hot solar storm swept in, directly lifting the ground below several feet away, and spider-web-like cracks spread on the rock wall of the Divine Prison Valley.

"Not good. If this continues, they will both die."

Qin Huai looked at Dongfang Wudi, whose lines in the [Wu Er Da] vision were gradually loosening. Having output too much Ten Yang Holy Fire, he became increasingly unstable, like a barrel of explosives that could be ignited by sparks at any time. If he was not careful, everything around him would be blown to pieces.

Just when the two reached a fragile but delicate balance, a dark bone arrow with a ghostly and evil intention suddenly shot out from outside the ruined Shenyu Valley, and pierced through Dongfang Wudi and Li Shimin in the air at a terrifying speed that Qin Huai and others could hardly perceive.

The arrow shadow exploded, thunder appeared in the dry land, and five thunders of different colors struck the two people's heads, and suddenly a dazzling light like the scorching sun broke out, completely igniting the already unstable purple sun flame!
Boom boom boom! ! ! ! !
Glancing at the black arrow that attacked him secretly, Qin Huai, who was about to push off the ground for leverage, stumbled suddenly. The sudden and violent impact caused the earth dragon to flip over. An extremely dazzling light enveloped the sky, and the atmospheric disturbance swept away everything, and turned back at an extremely fast speed. The entire sky was swept by violent dust ripples, and the purple flame column that could not be looked directly at shot straight into the sky. The fiery red and hot mushroom-shaped clouds quickly dimmed and turned into black smoke floating away.

"Fuck, where are the people?!"

Qin Huai, whose face was covered in dust by the flames above his head, rushed out of the smoke and dust, and looked around with his messy hair. Not only did he not see Dongfang Wudi who was almost completely burned to death, but he also did not see Li Shimin who was protected by the divine soldier [Phoenix].

"Hahaha, you old thief Dongfang, you really died in my hands in the end!" Before he finished speaking, a burly figure holding a huge black bow with eight golden bone arrows on the bow arm walked in from outside the valley with a large number of troops. His words were full of arrogance, and he seemed to be a tyrannical figure who was no less inferior to the White Lotus Saint Dongfang Wudi.

Rakshasa Sect, Fire Cloud Evil God!

But now Qin Huai has no time to care about the grudges between the two. He is relying on the flying ability of Kunlun Armor to look for Li Shimin and Dongfang Wudi everywhere, wanting to race against death, to save those who should be saved and to kill those who should be killed.

Soon, as the dust cloud settled, Qin Huai, who used [A Glimpse] to clear his vision, finally pulled Li Shimin out from a crevice in the mountain. The man had a huge hole in his chest and his phoenix feather silver armor was in shatters.

Name: Li Shimin
Status: Divine punishment (lifeless), chest cavity penetrated, acute upper airway obstruction, myocardial rupture, bronchial laceration.
Looking at the dark blue flesh wound in the silver armor, Qin Huai, who received a positive answer from Zero, shook his head at the barely breathing Li Shimin and said, "That arrow carries the power of divine punishment. I can't heal the wound it caused. Can [Phoenix] remove the divine punishment from you?"

"No, no, that's not necessary. Just give me a ride."

Li Shimin shook his head slightly, and the Phoenix Feather Silver Armor that wrapped his whole body to block the violent impact turned into nine silver feathers, which reunited into the Heavenly God Weapon [Phoenix Emperor], floating between the two of them.

Qin Huai glanced at the silver axe, which had a dim glow and was covered with fine cracks. He knew that Li Shimin, who was at the end of his energy, could only speak now, and it was just a last gasp of life. He did not let him suffer any more. He used [Thousand Changes] to slit his throat, freeing this mighty Tang Dynasty dragon from the torment of the power of divine punishment.

"Go well."

Qin Huai always felt a little uncomfortable listening to Yanfu's reminder ringing in his ears.

“Master Walking, you killed [Ghost Hero: Li Shimin], and your inherited Taowu spirit devoured the power of the Phoenix!
[Desolate Change] gains additional strengthening effect!
The effect is as follows: You can now recover your state by consuming the extraordinary energy such as Yuan Qi and Nei Qi containing the power of Taowu during the transformation period of [Desolate Transformation]. You can regenerate broken limbs, nourish your soul, and replenish your energy.
Note: What is this, internal digestion?

In addition, also appearing on the iris were the two secret treasures of Yama that Qin Huai had obtained by quickly killing the three White Lotus Sect supervisors and Jin Shenglao.

"Master Xingzou, you killed the eunuchs Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao. Your [True Martial Dharma: Thousand Changes] devoured the power of the Three Lights!"

"Master Walking, you killed Elder Jin Sheng, and your [True Martial Dharma: Thousand Changes] devoured the power of the meridian-cutting technique!"

[Zhenwu Dharma: Thousand Transformations] gains additional features [Three Lights Transformation] and [Severing Qi and Cutting Meridians]!
[Three Lights Transformation]: You can mobilize the power of the three lights at will and endow [Thousand Machine Transformation] with any of the three lights of "sun", "moon" and "star". The sun's light consumes blood, essence, bones and flesh; the moon's light corrodes the three souls and seven spirits; the star's light devours thoughts and consciousness.

[Sever the Qi and Cut off the Meridians]: When using [Thousand Changes] against the enemy, wherever the sword passes, it will interfere with all supernatural properties.

"Strange, why are the locations where these three secret treasures are attached different?"

Thinking of the several secret treasures of Yama that he had obtained from the Zhenwu Fruit before, Qin Huai was a little confused, but before he could think about it carefully, a familiar wave spread in the distance.

There are people who choose to return to Yamabuli at this moment.

'Dan? Or Zhou Yao?'

Qin Huai looked up and saw Dan holding a blazing red jade bead in the shape of a Buddha holding a flower. His whole body turned into a point of light and slowly disappeared, with a circle of White Lotus Sect members lying around him.

[Ten Yang Holy Pearls]: Left behind by Dongfang Wudi after his death, they contain surging fire power and extremely pure Yang power. After absorbing them, one can obtain a unique quality Yama secret treasure.

"Hmm? You, a big monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes, turned out to be a chicken thief who waits for his prey!"

Just as Qin Huai was about to activate [Moment] to rush to him and snatch the gem, he heard a conversation from Dan in the language of Yama sounding in his ears.

"Master Xingzou, [Sanzhi] has proposed a deal to you on behalf of Xingdan. He promised to give you the [Nine Yang Magic Skill] and other secret martial arts of the White Lotus Sect, as well as the [Grand Beginning Jade (Red Vermilion)] and [Grand Beginning Jade (Orange Ti)], as long as you are kind enough to let him return to Jambu with the [Ten Yang Holy Pearls]."

"Besides that, he also left you a message: When the nine colors gather together, you will definitely be favored by heaven."

Listening to Zero's retelling, Qin Huai hesitated for just a moment and then saw that Dan's body had already dissipated by more than half and was about to return to the world completely.

"Forget it, just give his master some face, that's all."

After weighing the two options, Qin Huai finally persuaded Taowu, who wanted to eat alone in the Niwan Palace, to let Sanzhi go. He turned around and looked at the Rakshasa followers who had surrounded him.

"You still have time to leave now."
