Loan Wusheng

As Zheng Jun silently uttered his thought, dazzling gilded characters suddenly appeared before him.

[Advance payment successful.]

[The Supreme Ruler of the World needs to meet three requirements, thus consuming three slots of the Great Dao Martial Arts Manual.]

As the small characters appeared before him, the nine scattered dragon-shaped earth energies suddenly solidified, binding the Great Sage Overturning the Sea's dragon claws like chains.

A resounding boom echoed through the heavens and earth, and the clouds above the capital city seemed to be commanded, spontaneously condensing into the phantom of a twelve-tasseled crown!

At the moment he condensed the Dharma form of the 'Lord of the World', Zheng Jun's perception swept across the heavens and earth like a torrent.

His nine orifices resonated with the earth's veins, and the phantom of the twelve-tasseled crown solidified above his head for a moment. He seemed to hear the spirits of mountains and rivers bowing in praise.

The undulating wheat fields of Guanzhong became his breath, the rushing rivers of Zhili became his blood, and even the ants lurking in the cracks of the bricks of the capital city were clearly visible in his divine sense!

The emperor's aura was like the blazing sun burning the sky, and the azure gold true essence transformed into purple gold imperial aura.

The power of the dragon vein, which originally required deliberate manipulation, was now at his fingertips.

With a wave of the hand, the clouds automatically formed a canopy; with each step, the earth's energy naturally paved the imperial road.

The Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas' dragon claws were imprisoned in mid-air by an invisible force. The dark blue light on the dragon scales trembled violently as if it had encountered a natural enemy, and was actually forced into a pale firefly!

Zheng Jun looked down and examined his loosely clenched right palm. Visible, regular threads flowed between his fingers, a power more essential than the intent of a sword.

Zheng Jun suddenly realized why the 'Lord of the World' was called the most powerful Dharma Aspect.

The small patch of ground where he stood was the 'royal land' designated by Heaven, and everything within his sight had to follow the law that 'when the emperor is displeased, the spring thunder falls silent'.

Even the dragon's might at the level of the Great Sage of the Overturning Seas dissipated within three zhang of Zheng Jun's body, as if the entire world was saying to this demon race Great Sage, "You have overstepped your bounds!"
The most mysterious thing is the change in the dantian.

His cultivation level at the peak of the Yuan Dan realm remained unchanged, but every strand of true essence was imbued with the domineering attitude of "all under heaven are subjects of the king".

Zheng Jun even had a kind of illusion.

If an order were given to reverse the flow of the rivers at this moment, the Yunmeng Marshland would probably dry up and turn into mulberry fields by tomorrow.

This sense of power and authority over the world made Zheng Jun feel somewhat intoxicated, even extremely comfortable.

This is the Dharma form, the ruler of all under heaven!
"The so-called ruler of the world..."

Zheng Jun took a step forward, and as his toes landed, the twelve tassels on his back moved without wind: "I want to make heaven and earth my ceremonial guard!"

In an instant, Zheng Jun exuded an imposing aura without even being angry!
"This is……?!"

The Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas' dragon eyes suddenly contracted to slits.

He could sense a sudden and dramatic change in the aura of the person under his claws. Just moments ago, the pressure was only that of a peak Yuan Dan cultivator, but now it was rising steadily like the might of the heavens, breaking through the shackles of the Yuan Dan realm in the blink of an eye and reaching the realm of the Dharma Aspect!

"Old mudfish, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Zheng Jun laughed loudly, and nine layers of azure-gold light appeared around his body.

Each halo is engraved with patterns of mountains, rivers, and the nation, and as it rotates, countless phantom images of ordinary people kneel and chant.

The earth veins of the imperial city suddenly boiled, and a magnificent imperial purple aura surged from all directions, condensing behind Zheng Jun into a towering imperial image!

Dharma Image, Lord of the World!

The phantom wore a twelve-tassel crown and a black robe, holding the Mountain and River Cauldron in its left hand and the National Guardian Sword in its right.

The moment it appeared, the bricks, tiles, beams, and pillars of the entire capital city shone with golden light, as if the entire city had become part of the Dharma image!

"impossible!"

The Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas roared, shattering the clouds for miles around. He was filled with extreme astonishment and terror: "Ten years to cultivate a Dharma form?! The world is not yet unified, how can you possibly become the 'Lord of the World'?! How can you possibly become the 'Lord of the World'?!"

The astonishment in the heart of the Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas was earth-shattering; the scene before him directly impacted his worldview!
As is well known, there are three ways to unite the 'Lord of the World'.

It requires the emperor's destiny as the foundation, the earth's veins and dragon energy as the guide, and the will and power of the people as the fire, so that the "coronation of mountains and rivers" can be completed at the "Grand Ceremony of Sacrificing to Heaven".

To forge an emperor's destiny, to enjoy the reverence of all subjects, to consume the 'Purple Star Emperor's Heart Pill,' and to refine a national treasure.

After completing this step, the next step is to gather the power of thirty earth veins and the power of mountains and rivers.

Even though Zheng Jun had unknowingly completed the previous requirements, refined the 'Purple Emperor Heart Pill' and crafted a national treasure, he had also secretly set up an 'altar' and was revered by all the people.

How did they manage to contain the ley lines of thirty states and gather the power of mountains and rivers?!

Under Zheng Jun's command, there are only nine land veins in total: Suzhou, Bozhou, Lanzhou, Longzhou, Liangzhou, Xuanzhou, Guanzhong, Zhili, and Shenjing. There are still twenty-one land veins missing, which is less than one-third!

This is the most important point; all the previous things like the Purple Emperor's Heart Pill, the National Guardian Artifact, and the Altar of the State are just empty words.

Only these ley lines are real.

Only by condensing this earth vein can one be considered to have truly condensed the Dharma form of the 'Lord of the World'!
How on earth did he do it? !

The Great Sage of Overturning the Sea was shocked. At this moment, he was absolutely certain that Zheng Jun was definitely the reincarnation of the Dao Lord from beyond the realm. If he were a person from this world, how could he have such astonishing methods and be able to condense the Dharma Image of the 'Lord of the World' before he could unify the world!
No, that's not right.

The Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his breathing.

There is another possibility...

Zheng Jun was originally the holder of the 'Lord of the World' Dharma Image!
In this way, there is no need to absorb these thirty ley lines again!
Thinking of this, a huge conjecture arose in the mind of the Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas, and this conjecture could even be described as somewhat terrifying.

This Zheng Jun is actually Emperor Shenwu in disguise!

The Divine Martial Emperor faked his death and escaped, changing his name to Zheng Jun, and re-established the Great Han Dynasty!
After all, if that's the case, there's really no need to re-accommodate the ley lines of the thirty states, since he himself is the holder of the 'Lord of the World' Dharma Image!
What was the reason behind Emperor Shenwu's actions?

He must have discovered a way to advance the Dharma Image of the 'Lord of the World' to the Dao Lord!

Thinking of this, the Great Sage Overturning the Seas felt that Zheng Jun was even more unfathomable, and immediately opened his mouth and roared, "Zhou Shenwu, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Junfa had already raised his hand and pressed it down.

Zheng Jun had no idea what the Great Sage Overturning the Sea was guessing. He only knew that he was now incredibly powerful, while the Great Sage Overturning the Sea in front of him was all bark and no bite.

He deserved to be killed by himself!

"What bullshit Zhou Shenwu? You old mudfish, have you lost your mind after being beaten by that Shenwu Emperor?" Zheng Jun snorted coldly, and his purple-gold imperial aura rose up!

The moment the Great Sage Overturning the Sea's dragon claws were imprisoned by the Purple-Gold Imperial Qi, the entire sky suddenly turned blood red.

The clouds above the capital city were stirred up as if by an invisible hand, turning into a vortex with a diameter of a thousand miles, and at the center of the vortex was the dark dragon shadow.

The Great Sage of the Overturning Seas had a dark expression. After hearing Zheng Jun's words, he was momentarily at a loss as to what Zheng Jun's background was.

But it doesn’t matter.

He fought alongside Emperor Shenwu and was extremely familiar with him.

If Zheng Jun is truly the incarnation of the Divine Martial Emperor, he will be able to sense it during the battle!

"Zheng Jun!"

Upon realizing this, the Great Sage Overturning the Seas roared, causing waves hundreds of feet high to surge on the surface of the moat: "Even if you have condensed your Dharma form, today I will let you know what the might of a ten-thousand-year dragon is!"

Amidst the roar of the dragon, the thousand-foot-tall dragon body behind the Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas was fully revealed.

The Great Sage of the Overturning Seas is now fighting in human form, and the thousand-foot-long dragon body in the clouds is the manifestation of the Dharma form of the 'Hanlongjun'.

Unlike the majestic and solemn appearance of ordinary dragons, this 'Hanlongjun' dharma form is covered with ferocious bone spikes, with ghostly blue flames flowing between the gaps in the dragon scales, and twelve twisted dragon claws growing from its belly!
"Wow!"

The twelve dragon claws tore through the void simultaneously, and the space around Zheng Jun shattered like a mirror.

The dark cracks spewed forth the Xuanming True Water of the North Sea, each drop as heavy as a mountain, and in the blink of an eye, it gathered into a world-destroying tidal wave above the imperial city!

Faced with this scene, the civil and military officials present were shocked and momentarily stunned.

Lu Chengbi, Chen Jingzhong, and others even thought they were dreaming.

Or,

I am currently at a critical moment of breaking through a bottleneck, which has attracted my inner demons. All of this is an illusion.

Like a dream and an illusion.

Not only Lu Chengbi and Chen Jingzhong, but even the outer-gang officials were somewhat dazed. They looked up at the two god-like and demon-like figures in the sky and felt their souls tremble, as if they were in an ancient myth.

"This...this is the power of the Dharma Form?"

Meanwhile, Dugu Jing, who had been recuperating in Shenjing and serving as the Minister of War, gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his knuckles turning white.

Only now did he realize how terribly wrong he had been. Since his surrender, Dugu Jing had harbored a deep desire to restore the Dugu clan and had been secretly working towards that goal.

The Yuan Dan Martial Saint was already enough to put him under immense pressure.

And the Dharma True Lord shattered his inner thoughts.

Faced with such an existence, how could he possibly restore the Dugu clan?
His thoughts were child's play compared to the present moment. Every drop of the Xuanming True Water that the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea casually stirred up made him, a martial artist who had reached the Qi Opening Realm, feel a suffocating pressure.

At the same time, he also had some doubts.

Your Majesty, how did you attain the Dharma form?
Before them, the Xuanming True Water, as vast as the Milky Way, fell from the sky and surged wildly toward them, but Zheng Jun remained unmoved, while the Emperor Dharma Image behind him merely raised the State-Protecting Sword slightly.

"I say, this water should freeze."

Follow your words!
The surging Xuanming True Water suddenly stopped, and then strangely rolled back into the crack.

The Great Sage of the Overturning Seas was shocked and furious to discover that his natal true water, which he had cultivated for ten thousand years, was resisting his summons!
"We cannot fight Zheng Jun here!"

The Great Sage of the Overturning Seas glared angrily, and the 'Lord of the Vast Dragon' behind him rose up in a ferocious manner. Its thousand-foot-long dragon body moved with lightning speed, and dark clouds once again gathered on the horizon, crashing towards Zheng Jun. At the same time, he thought to himself, "He has already condensed the 'Lord of the World'. If I fight him in the capital, I can make him draw on the power of the earth's veins, which will be inexhaustible, and he will surely be defeated!"

This is the perverse aspect of the 'Lord of the World' Dharma form.

As long as one is based at the location where it absorbs the earth's energy, it can continuously draw out the earth's power and suppress all Dharma Aspect True Lords with the power of the 'Lord of the World'.

Once outside the territory, there isn't as much earth vein power to supply, so the strength becomes no different from that of an ordinary Dharma Aspect.

Upon realizing this, the Great Sage Overturning the Seas immediately took to the clouds and prepared to fly northeast towards the Northern Rong region.

There, I will fight Zheng Jun!
Although he had a brief encounter with Zheng Jun and felt that Zheng Jun's aura was not very familiar and was very different from that of the Great Zhou Divine Martial Emperor, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea still did not dare to gamble and set the battlefield in places like Jinzhou and Pengzhou. Instead, he chose the Northern Rong, which the Divine Martial Emperor had never touched.

The Great Sage of the Overturning Seas' dragon shadow tore through the sky like ink lightning, shattering the clouds wherever it passed and carving out a vacuum track a thousand feet wide in the firmament.

Zheng Jun followed closely behind, his feet treading on the purple-gold imperial aura. With each step of the 'Lord of the World' dharma image behind him, the mountains and earth below resonated.

Two immense pressures, at the level of Dharma Aspects, swept across the five continents like the collapse of the heavens, causing billions of living beings to tremble in fear!
In an instant, these two Dharma-image True Lords traversed Zhili, Suzhou, Xuanzhou, Bozhou, and Yunzhou. Countless people witnessed the overwhelming momentum of their pursuit and were utterly astonished!
On the border of Zhili, the Longwu Guards, who were escorting grain supplies, suddenly knelt down in unison, and the dragon-blooded horses pulling the carts neighed and lay prostrate on the ground.

As soon as Battalion Commander Wang Shuanzi looked up, he saw two streaks of light flash across the sky. The residual force of the light made him bleed from all seven orifices, leaving him utterly terrified.

In the Suzhou camp, Suzhou Governor Xu Shimao was strategizing in front of the sand table when suddenly his personal guards outside the tent collapsed like mud. When he rushed out of the tent, he saw the aftershocks of the collision between the dark dragon shadow and the purple-gold imperial aura flatten the mountains a hundred miles away!

Inside Xuanzhou City, the wine pot in Lu Zhenglin's hand suddenly shattered. This mid-stage Yuan Dan ancestor of the Lu family, whose lifespan was nearing its end, abruptly stood up, his robes fluttering without wind: "The Dharma Image of the World Master?! How is this possible!"

Upon realizing this, Lu Zhenglin's face darkened. He mustered his courage and scanned the sky with his divine sense. He caught the image of Zheng Jun activating the earth's veins to suppress the dragon shadow as he raised his hand. He was immediately struck dumb and utterly astonished.

"This this……"

Lu Zhenglin was clearly somewhat shocked. He naturally recognized Zheng Jun, but what shocked him was...

How did Zheng Jun manage to condense a Dharma image?

How did it come to condense the Dharma image of the Lord of the World?!

The supreme Dharma body requires thirty earth veins, encompassing the entire Central Plains!

For a moment, Lu Zhenglin's mind went blank, and he was completely bewildered.

In the Bozhou Governor's Office, Cai Kang was in the same situation, with Cai Jingchen, who was at the peak of the Tongqiao realm, following closely behind.

The father and son gazed at the purple-gold torrent sweeping across the sky, and for a moment, they were also awestruck by its magnificence.

Although Cai Kang was a newly promoted Yuan Dan cultivator, he was well aware of the requirements for forming a 'Lord of the World'.

Although Cai Kang never doubted that Zheng Jun would eventually become the master of the entire world and condense the Dharma form of the 'Lord of the World'.

But for it to coalesce now is a bit too frightening.

What kind of monster is this?

I can accept that it takes you a hundred years to condense your Dharma form, but you condensed your Dharma form in just ten years. Isn't that a bit strange?

Cai Kang took a deep breath, then suddenly turned to Cai Jingchen and shouted, "Immediately mobilize the three armies to attack and destroy Wuguang County, and deploy troops on the border of Yunzhou. If Your Majesty wins this battle, our Great Han will surely conquer the world!"

There's nothing more to say.

Zheng Jun is now the Dharma Aspect of the 'Lord of the World', so in less than ten years, the world will be unified again.

There was simply no other option.

In that case, the Cai family needs to make military achievements as soon as possible so that the new dynasty will look at them with more respect!
The mere fact that she was the Empress's maternal family was not enough to guarantee the Cai family's wealth and prosperity for generations to come.

Upon hearing this, Cai Jingchen did not hesitate at all and immediately got up to do it.

He was certainly not a stupid person, and he could understand the reasoning behind it.

only……

How did her son-in-law manage to do that?
How was he able to condense the Dharma form of the 'Lord of the World' before the earth veins were fully gathered?

This move completely shattered everyone's expectations.

It's unimaginable.

……

Meanwhile, the two celestial auras were still chasing each other.

The Great Sage of the Overturning Seas saw the approaching Yanshan Mountain of the Northern Rong in his dragon eyes, and suddenly he grinned and spat out a mouthful of his life essence blood.

Once he arrived at this place, he had no more taboos.

"Zheng Jun!"

The dragon's roar shattered the clouds along its path, and the Great Sage Overturning the Seas roared, "Do you really think that the 'Lord of the World' can be invincible outside the Central Plains?!"

Before the words were even finished, twelve dragon claws simultaneously tore through the void, and towering ice thorns pierced towards the pursuer Zheng Jun like brambles.

"Once we're outside the Central Plains, it's true that we can't mobilize the power of the earth's veins... but killing you is still quite easy."

The sword in the hand of the 'Lord of the World' Dharma Image behind Zheng Jun suddenly transformed into the phantom image of nine cauldrons, and he laughed loudly: "Your 'Lord of the Vast Dragon' Dharma Image was crippled by the Divine Martial Emperor long ago, wasn't it?"

The four characters "Mountains and Rivers Forever Guardian" on the cauldron suddenly lit up, engulfing all the mysterious ice in the sky.

The Nine Tripods symbolize the entire world.

This is the wondrous application of the Dharma form of the 'Lord of the World'.

Even if he wasn't in the Central Plains, the earth veins of the Central Plains would continuously flow towards Zheng Jun, blessing him... it's just that the speed is a bit slow, like a supply line, it takes a certain amount of time to arrive.

Although its strength is not as formidable as it was in the Central Plains, it is still enough to kill this Great Sage of the Overturning Seas, whose Dharma Aspect and Dao Foundation are not even stable.

only……

Zheng Jun still had a question.

Since this was my first time condensing a Dharma form, I wasn't very familiar with its properties. This was a vulnerable period, and if the Great Sage Overturning the Sea was determined to escape, I would definitely not be able to catch up with him or even kill him.

He should have been well aware that challenging him to a duel was a dead end.

Why then would they fight against the Northern Rong?
Zheng Jun had some doubts.

Meanwhile, the Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas was extremely relaxed.

Even though he knew he was going to die, the Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas was not afraid.

In his prime, he was arrogant and reckless, and fought against the Great Zhou Divine Martial Emperor, who had condensed the Dharma image of the 'Lord of the World,' and ended up severely injured and forced to seal himself away.

Now that his foundation is damaged and his Dharma form is inadequate, facing Zheng Jun, who has condensed the Dharma form of "Lord of the World," there is absolutely no way for him to survive.

But that's enough.

Although Nanshan and Qingxu are extremely hypocritical, they made a promise with their own destiny, and there is a destiny in the dark. If they cannot help their offspring to form the 'Hanlong Monarch', then their own destiny will also manifest.

Although he fought a fierce battle with Zheng Jun, he could not kill him. Instead, he could help Zheng Jun take control of the Dharma Form. Moreover, his demon kings and offspring had all gone to Dongyi to help his brother Zheng Jun fight against Dongyi, which was enough to make Zheng Jun feel indebted to him.

With descendants, there is naturally no need to worry.

From then on, the Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas was fearless.

"Rather than being sealed away in the Yanshan Mountains for a thousand years and dying, it's better to fight this Han Emperor, the reincarnated Dao Lord, today. Even if I die and my Dao dissipates, and I enter reincarnation again, it will not have been a wasted life!" (End of Chapter)
