Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 230 Raising a Hand to Suppress the Golden Body, Entering the Second Rank with a Single Thought (Two Chapters Combined)

"it's me!"

As dawn broke through the void, he stood tall, his body radiating countless rays of crimson-gold light.

The blood energy gathered together and condensed into a pillar of blood energy that was a full twenty feet thick.

Like a towering, golden pillar that reaches the heavens and the earth, it suddenly supports the endless dome, instantly piercing through the heavens and the earth, soaring straight into the sky!
Rumble!
A fierce wind swept across thousands of miles, and the moment the pillar of blood-red energy burst forth in the world, it seemed to form a giant vortex within a radius of thousands of miles.

The heavy, gloomy clouds in the sky, along with the ethereal essence of heaven and earth, roared in from the center of this giant pillar of blood energy.

In the blink of an eye, Dawn had drained the essence of heaven and earth within a thousand miles, and its aura had risen to its peak.

During the year he spent cultivating various systems on his own, his martial arts realm remained at the third rank.

But he himself actually underwent a dramatic transformation and sublimation.

Because outside of the martial arts system, he reorganized many systems from scratch, combined them into the Dao Integration System, and used it to reach the third rank!
At the same time, he also took advantage of several opportunities when the world was isolated to cultivate the secret method of covering the sky and reached the level of the second level of the four extremes!
This speed may seem slow, but it is actually incredibly fast.

After all, the fourth level requires one to entrust one's rules and Dao to the void, and to mutually imprint and verify them with the true rules and Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Only then can we take the next step.

It's no longer like the previous realms, where one could advance through realms simply by consuming divine treasures.

Since Li Ming began practicing the Dragon-Snake National Arts at the Wheel Sea Realm, he had already begun to ponder his own Great Dao.

Therefore, his cultivation speed is balanced and uniform.

Now... after reflecting on the many systems in the Great Feng world, his accumulation of knowledge about the rules of heaven and earth and the Dao has also reached an indescribable level.

To this day, his martial arts system has reached the peak of the third rank.

It then inherited even more of the bloodline of the Ancient Sacred Body.

It can be said that he had accumulated his current momentum to an indescribable limit.

His strength was probably more than ten times greater than when he killed that Arhat of Love!

boom!
An overbearing aura spread across the land, suppressing the elite demons and Buddhist monks who were fighting to the death, rendering them unable to move an inch.

Even the third-rank Vajra in Buddhism and the third-rank extraordinary demon in the demon race were not surprised at all.

Pressed down on the earth by this terrifying aura, even the slightest movement of their hands or fingers seemed to require a great deal of their strength.

It's like... the colorless lapis lazuli form of that Lapis Lazuli Bodhisattva, whose area of ​​suppression has expanded countless times, but whose power is only one-tenth of that.

"Could it be... a first-rank martial artist?"

A powerful demon struggled to raise its neck, its two red lantern-like eyes rolling as it gazed at the sky out of the corner of its eye.

Beside him, the Vajra aura of Buddhism that had just been about to form a fist and press down on his chest dimmed, and he exhaled with difficulty.
"Not rank one, it's... rank three!"

Although they were all at the third rank, standing in front of this person, they were like floating specks gazing at the blue sky.

If we consider the blood and energy of an ordinary third-grade martial artist as one...

That burst of blood-red energy at dawn, containing a surging power of ten thousand! Ten thousand!

It is the vigorous blood energy he has accumulated since he stepped into this realm, and it is also part of the power of the Ancient Sacred Body!
These powerful demons and Buddhist Vajra had no idea that when Li Ming stepped into the first level of the Four Extremes Realm, he was already able to defeat ordinary cultivators at the first level of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

This refers to the second rank.

Although Dawn has only inherited a portion of the power of the main world, his true realm has reached the second level of the four extremes!

Moreover... his body also possesses the power of the peak third rank from both major systems of this world!

This is a power that allows him to step into the second rank, or even touch the first rank, whenever he wants!

With the power of these three systems merged into one, even the two first-rank bodhisattvas in front of him were no longer taken seriously by Li Ming!

In an instant, the entire battlefield, where blood flowed like a river, fell silent and froze.

The earth-shattering shouts and collisions from just now seemed to have never happened; only the air remained filled with surging air currents that echoed and roared.

In the center of the Dharma image, which shattered like glass, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox seized the crucial opportunity and instantly appeared behind Dawn.

A pair of alluring eyes shimmered with light.

"Human Emperor...you...have become even stronger!"

This vigorous vitality, this robust and powerful feeling, rushed towards me like an overwhelming current.

At this moment, he finally understood why his mother, who was at the peak of the first rank and comparable to a martial artist of the same level, had chosen that monk Shenshu.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan is virtually powerless against this intense, yang power, starting from the level of rules.

Under the intense aura, even the Gara Tree Bodhisattva, renowned for his defense and considered the foremost attacker after the Buddha, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

As a battle maniac, His intuition... never deceived Him.

Thinking of this, Gara Tree frowned deeply. Behind him, two Dharma images, one large and one small, sat cross-legged in the void, their palms clasped together, their breath like thunder.
"Your Excellency... do you truly intend to oppose Buddhism?"

"Isn't it you who insists on making things difficult for me?"

Li Ming stood with his hands behind his back atop the dome, a blazing and powerful aura of blood churning around him.

A vast and powerful masculine will, as substantial as a physical entity, lingered in the sky and covered hundreds of miles of land.

hum!
The sound waves generated by the two collided continuously in the void, while the white-robed, turquoise Bodhisattva had already supported the image of the traveler.

etc.

He is extremely sensitive to all kinds of powerful auras.

Therefore, before dawn, He actually sensed a trace of the aura He had felt five hundred years ago, only in that one divine monk.

Sensing the fluctuations in aura emanating from the Lapis Lazuli Bodhisattva, the Gara Tree Bodhisattva's heart also tightened.

He couldn't understand how this person had gone from barely defeating Du Qing to becoming a high-level first-grade martial artist in just one year.

He's comparable to a high-ranking first-grade martial artist!
Even though he claimed to be the number one warrior below the Buddha in Buddhism, he lacked the courage to defeat a martial artist of such strength.

Five hundred years ago, during the Jiazi Demon-Slaying War.

That Demon Queen resides here, a being at the peak of the first rank.

Even with its thick skin and tough flesh, it was swatted deep into the earth by a single tail, only able to catch its breath when the Buddha arrived.

High-grade first rank, although one rank lower than peak first rank, is still an extremely terrifying existence.

After a brief silence, the Garuda Tree surprisingly made a concession.
"Today... you leave, and I will pretend nothing happened. The enmity between you and my Buddhist sect is wiped clean."

Whoosh!

The world fell silent.

It's truly rare to see the Buddhist sect, which is known for its domineering and autocratic ways, actually make concessions in front of this person.

Li Ming's bones bulged, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
"But all I want is to kill you, or be killed by you!"

Rumble!
As the sound exploded like thunder, he was already in the void, his five fingers clenched together with a whoosh, and he delivered a punch with a bang.

With this punch, the already intense blood energy, as blazing as a pillar of heaven, surged once more.

It was as if every single particle that made up his body was radiating endless brilliance and bursting forth with boundless power.

The moment this immeasurable power converged at this point, and combined with his vast, sun-like will, the world suddenly fell silent!
Countless people felt a sudden tightness in their chests, as if all the blood in their bodies had stopped flowing.

Oh no, I didn't manage to scare this person!

Under immense pressure, the muscles of the Gara Tree Bodhisattva writhed, and the eight divine wheels floating behind him transformed into a blazing sun.
"Liuli...you take them away, I'll cover your retreat!"

Then, the seated Fudo Myoo suddenly opened his eyes, and his hands, like clouds hanging from the sky, clenched together, and a fearless lion seal crashed down.

It clashed with the fist of dawn.

In a split second, He made an extremely wise decision.

In the instant that almost exhausted all the power of the Acala image, he completely concealed all his power.

"Take care of yourself!"

The Lapis Lazuli Bodhisattva gave him a deep look, then stepped on a pale blue light and floated her sleeves towards the ground.

In the instant the sleeves fluttered, they transformed into a banner that blotted out the sky.

On the ground, all the fifth-rank and above Buddhist disciples were taken into his sleeve without any resistance.

This crystal Bodhisattva, whose speed is unparalleled in the world, instantly moved hundreds of miles away at a speed that would astound even those of the highest rank.

puff!

The moment the fist collided with the seal, a straight, piercing stream of blood energy pierced through the heavens and earth, forming a straight crack that was hundreds of miles long and several miles wide.

At the end of the crack, the once towering and nearly ten thousand-foot-tall image of the Immovable King had long since shattered, leaving only a twelve-foot-tall golden statue lying quietly at the end of the crack.

Li Ming's expression shifted slightly.
"You...you're very confident, thinking that while you can't defeat me, I can't do anything to you either?"

"So what if she is? That old fox was strong back then, but she still couldn't kill me. Are you comparable to her?"

The twelve-foot-tall Vajra statue, holding a dark red vajra pestle, calmly and slowly straightened up from the crack, lightly brushing off non-existent dust from its body, its appearance solemn and dignified.

He is the foremost melee attacker under the Buddha, and also the strongest defender in Buddhism.

Although Buddhism is strong today, it still cannot compare to the glory days of five hundred years ago when eight Bodhisattvas dominated the scene.

But that era of using the Third-Rank Vajra as cannon fodder is gone forever.

He cherishes every elite Buddhist disciple of today.

Therefore, His tense expression just now was mainly due to his anxiety that the Vajra Arhats would be affected by Li Ming's attack.

Now... the Lapis Lazuli Bodhisattva used her methods to resolutely gather all those with a strength of rank 5 or above on the battlefield.

This means that their biggest loss in this expedition was simply failing to achieve their objective.

As for the lives of Buddhist monks below the fifth rank.

They are nothing but ants; He doesn't even care about them.

In just a few months, another batch will grow in the endless Buddhist kingdoms and celestial kingdoms of the Western Regions.

But can He escape?

He hadn't even thought about that question.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was already weakened, and after being severely injured by Him, it could no longer pose a threat to Him.

Even though Li Ming's combat strength seems comparable to that of a high-ranking first-grade martial artist, he might not necessarily be able to take his life.

Now... He doesn't care anymore.

Faced with the arrogance of the Garuda tree, Li Ming smiled calmly.
"Is it because my ability to throw a punch so casually gave you a bit of confidence?"

boom!
The thoughts and ideas of countless people were filled with a mighty will!

It was as if there were no more colors, sounds, or substances in the world.

Only that ancient, pure gold seal, riding a mighty, ancient river, crashed down upon this twelve-foot-tall Vajra statue!

The overwhelming fist intent pressed down, but this twelve-foot-tall Vajra Dharma Image did not retreat but advanced, actually trying to break through Li Ming's punch with its powerful and domineering physique.

"break!"

Li Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.

Immediately, the domineering fist intent was like an explosion of the heavens, crushing all tangible and intangible matter in the surrounding hundred miles of sky into nothingness.

Bathed in the torrent of fist imprints, the Garuda tree, seemingly swimming upstream, stared blankly, as if suffocating.

Click!

A crack, about an inch long, eventually appeared on His indestructible Vajra form.

In the next instant, dense, dark cracks spread out from the center, instantly engulfing His imposing Vajra form.

boom!
As the fist intent surged and flowed, following the crimson gold seal, an ancient longsword appeared out of nowhere.

The imperial seal suppressed the attack, and the longsword shattered.

This Bodhisattva Garuda, who relied on his first-grade Vajra Body and thought he could roam the world freely, did not even let out a scream.

Its Vajra form was shattered in mid-air, and its spiritual will was instantly exposed and cleaved into nothingness by the endless sword energy.

Rumble!
The undiminished force of the fist was like a celestial blade piercing the sky, leaving behind a canyon with no end in sight deep within these Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Countless plants, trees, and rocks were obliterated by the aftershocks of that punch.

With a single punch, this Bodhisattva Gara Tree, who had resided in the world for countless years and was considered the most powerful among all Bodhisattvas, completely vanished from this world.

Only one relic remains, the one that bears the essence of His fruition, still suspended in place, floating and sinking.

Li Ming spread his five fingers wide, and the relic transformed into a streak of light, rushing over and landing in his palm.

Dawn did not hesitate.

"Transforming Dao Power..."

"Thank you so much for coming to save me..."

On the other side of the void, the current Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's aura was weak, and it even showed signs of falling from its current cultivation level.

Still dragging his somewhat broken body, he came before dawn and thanked him.

“Since the king has been so kind to me, I should naturally reciprocate.”

As the conversation veered to this point, Dawn smiled, his hands behind his back.
"I only hope that the king will not have any other ideas about our future cooperation."

"Your Majesty the Emperor...you jest."

The nine-tailed celestial fox's beautiful face flushed slightly.

She never expected that her little trick would be exposed by Leon Lai so easily.

boom!
In that instant, a powerful and domineering aura rose up from Li Ming's body once again.

The nine-tailed celestial fox raised its head in shock.
"You...have reached the second rank?"
