When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 279 The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind
[Monsters are those whose essence and energy rely on external objects. When the energy is disordered within, the external objects change; this manifests as form, spirit, temperament, and the interplay of the inner and outer. They originate from the Five Elements and are connected to the Five Affairs…]

The "Heavenly Demon Rebirth Technique" states clearly at the outset that so-called demons are formed by the essence of qi attaching to objects. When the essence of qi is disordered internally, the matter changes externally. When the five elements change internally, the five things manifest externally.

The so-called five elements are appearance, speech, sight, hearing, and thought, which constitute the external characteristics of a "demon".

Demons are abnormal changes, and celestial demons are even more extreme and abnormal.

By altering one's vital energy, it is possible to transform objects into demonic entities, including the human body.

Treating the physical body as an object, one alters the body by reversing one's own vital energy, causing the human body to become demonic like those objects. Once the vital energy is transformed and the human body becomes demonic, the technique is complete, and one is reborn from a human body into a celestial demon.

"Once the Heavenly Demon's body successfully reincarnates, all five transformations will be under control, and the physical body can change at will..."

The contents of "The Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique" seemed to have a consciousness, rushing into Bai Ze's eyes, allowing him to understand the essential principles of the technique, and even his true energy began to stir.

"Unlike the Cantongqi, which focuses on the transformation of primordial energy, the Tianyao Rebirth Technique is about the transformation of the physical body. If one cultivates it successfully, one might be able to master the seventy-two transformations like Sun Wukong. However, this technique is somewhat evil."

Bai Ze stroked his chin, composed himself, and said.

I've never seen such a technique before; it's almost like something alive.

If such a technique is successfully cultivated, it's hard to say whether the person controls the technique or the technique controls the person.

The five factors include mindset. If even mindset changes, is the person still the same?

Furthermore, if a human transforms into a demon, what would that be? A transvestite?

"The cultivation technique that Kosh'e practiced within Qingyu Mountain should be this 'Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique.' He attempted to use it to demonize the mountain, but unfortunately, he failed."

Although the technique was strange and even had the effect of bewitching the mind, Bai Ze always maintained the buff of "clear mind" and was not afraid of the technique's bewitching power.

He even took the initiative to accept that strange and evil intent, and learned the essentials of the technique for free, so as to quickly understand the "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique".

After reading it, Bai Ze had to admit that the cultivation technique left behind by Koshie was extremely valuable.

The Cantongqi is all-encompassing, and it also contains methods for cultivating essence and energy and shaping the body. However, it mainly focuses on energy, even the body is born from essence and energy, and it advocates that energy gives rise to all things.

If you thoroughly explore the mysteries of Qi, then you are omnipotent; this is the core idea of ​​the Cantongqi.

The "Heavenly Demon Rebirth Technique" focuses on the body of a heavenly demon and the transformation of the physical body. While it is not as comprehensive as the "Cantong Qi," it has its own expertise and surpasses the "Cantong Qi" in the mysteries of the physical body, standing shoulder to shoulder with the "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm."

This practice is the most evil of all evil paths, so evil that it can even bewitch people into actively cultivating it, making it a prime example of knowledge being poisonous.

But even toxic knowledge is still knowledge, and the mysteries it contains are truly real.

'Besides, I have the power to make my words come true, so it's not like I can't even touch it.'

As Bai Ze was pondering this, his ears suddenly twitched.

Amidst the roar of energy, a stray noise appeared and was rapidly approaching.

It wasn't the sound of a dragon or any other strange beast; it sounded more like the noise of some machine in operation.

"Through the Looking Glass."

He spoke softly, and his figure slowly disappeared.

Then, after about ten minutes, the noise became clear.

From one of the meridian channels in the "Dantian" hall, a figure flew out and landed on the ground.

The dark blue armor covered his entire body. He did not have a single-soldier flying device on his back, but relied on the wave-like energy emanating from the back of the armor and his legs to fly. He had special ailerons and flaps that deployed on his back and legs as flight aids.

The technological sophistication is almost on par with Rheinmetall's battle suit.

After landing, the helmet retracted, revealing a face with a high nose, deep-set eyes, and blond hair and blue eyes.

This is a Western Union person.

"The bishop's information was correct; the treasure left behind by the Pope has finally been found."

He revealed an undisguised ecstasy and deep intoxication. He first took a deep look at the huge pool of vital energy, and then couldn't wait to start searching for it.

Then, drawn by the "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique," his gaze quickly fell upon the eerie and sinister text.

'The Western Alliance member should have entered the Secret Realm of Yingzhou with Rhine, but judging from his words, he seems to have connections with the Eternal Life Cult of Kosch'e.'

'Is there collusion between the Rhine and the Order of Immortality?'

Upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem impossible.

Even with a complete ban on cults in the Eastern Xia Federation, they still couldn't completely eradicate their existence, let alone in other countries.

Especially Japan, which is a treasure trove for cults.

Politicians can even cooperate with religious sects as long as there is profit to be made.

As for the trouble this has caused, Japan has its own national circumstances, and there is nothing that a bow and apology cannot resolve.

'Using a feint to secretly advance while feigning an attack, Rhine is quite cunning.'

Bai Ze's mind raced, and he deduced that this person must be Rhine's henchman.

On the surface, they created a commotion to lure away the dragon and attract Ursus's attention, while secretly sending people to infiltrate.

Bai Ze underestimated Rhine's knowledge of the experimental site; the other party was clearly aware of the Calamity God Plan.

While he was pondering, the white youth had already pushed off the ground with one foot, eager to leap over the Yuan Qi Pool and get closer to examine the "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique".

However, as the target drew closer, a look of shock and anger gradually appeared on his face.

The eerie text is fading, disappearing at an unacceptable speed.

When the white youth landed on the side of the Yuanqi Pool, the contents of the "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique" disappeared completely from the wall.

At the same time, Bai Ze made his move.

"Energy cutoff".

As soon as the sound was emitted, the armor on the white youth stopped working because the energy line was cut off; the armor that could have enhanced his power became a constraint instead.

A surge of energy erupted, and a blurry figure suddenly appeared amidst the intense fluctuations of vital energy, raising his hand to unleash a palm strike.

Ascending to a high place, one feels a sense of vastness in the Chu sky.

His inner energy surged, his palm strike like a tidal wave, aimed straight for his opponent's chest. The violent shockwave rippled through the surrounding energy, creating an unparalleled surge that caused the white youth's pupils to shrink to pinpoints.

His pupils also deepened in color at that moment, the emerald green suddenly expanding, and an invisible force arose, pulling his body backward.

At the same time, the armored ailerons behind him suddenly detached and combined in front of him to form a shield, blocking the surging palm force.

"when--"

The palm strike was like striking a great bell, the force vibrating and transmitted through the alloy shield, slamming into the armor.

"Humph!"

The white youth groaned; even after being struck by two layers of force, the domineering palm strike still made him feel quite uncomfortable.

His eyes widened in anger, and an invisible force pulled him backward at an accelerated pace.

At the same time, a force field covered all directions and contracted towards the center, causing the surrounding space to appear as if it were collapsing. The powerful gravity attracted everything around it and prevented the white youth from retreating.

"Six-star psychic power?"

Amidst the sounds of doubt, Bai Ze took a step forward, breaking through the surrounding energy gusts, and raised his palm to gather power again.

Unlike the people of Dongxia, the people of the Western Union are not able to comprehend artistic conception, imitate nature, or summarize techniques to form a unique martial arts spirit.

However, their six-star warriors are not weak either.

As I said before, as long as you accumulate enough numbers, you can trigger a qualitative change.

Through special drug injections and mechanical assistance, mental power is continuously stimulated and strengthened, making it numerically unparalleled.

High numerical values ​​result in high power. Transforming mental energy into telekinesis, enhancing the power of swords and fists, or simply manipulating objects are all good options.

Although this approach of stacking numerical values ​​requires talent and may leave psychological scars, it must be said that it is quite powerful.

The white youth is still able to resist even when the armor loses power and shuts down, thanks to his mental strength.

However, his escape route was blocked by an invisible force field.

The invisible forces interacted, and the collapsing space pulled the white youth back firmly, forcing him to face the incoming palm strike.

Ascending to a high place, amidst the passing years and storms.

The aura of decay and prosperity filled the space, squeezing out vital energy, and the palm strike that came towards us carried immense power.

Helpless, the young white man could only do his best to unleash his mental power, extending both arms to combine his physical strength with his mental power to meet the attack.

boom!
The two sides clashed through the alloy shield formed by their ailerons, and the violent shockwaves of their true energy struck the young white man as if he had been struck by lightning.

He felt as if his consciousness had been blasted out of his body by this palm strike, his arms went numb, and the capillaries on his arms beneath his arm guards burst.

The Western Union warriors, who relied on numerical strengths, were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

With his armor disabled, in terms of pure strength, he was actually inferior to Yun Shu. And Yun Shu, too, suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Bai Ze.

If Yun Shu couldn't easily defeat the white youth, she would cry in the afterlife if she knew.

The white youth was about to be blasted into the air, but was pulled back by an invisible force field and firmly fixed to the ground.

Bai Ze then struck again.

Ascending to a high place, amidst the passing years and storms.

It was still "the passing years and the winds and rains," but this time Bai Ze held back a bit of his strength.

He wanted to capture the young white man and extract information from his mind.

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred.

From the passage where the white youth had come out, dazzling light shot out and fell towards the center of the energy pool.

"The feeling of ascending to a high place—"

Upon seeing this, Bai Ze immediately used the technique of "words become law," unleashing a sudden burst of palm force that had been holding back for only a fraction of its power, and even further urging his true energy forward to blast it forward.

The overwhelming force of the palm strike transformed into a storm, blasting into the white youth's body.

immediately--

boom!
The white youth unleashed his full energy with the force of his palm strike, which combined with the power of his palm to strike the suddenly appearing, dazzling light.

The two forces collided, unleashing a burst of brilliance and creating a powerful surge. The water in the Yuanqi Pool churned wildly, and the overflowing energy swept through the entire "Dantian" hall.

If this weren't the most stable spot on Qingyu Mountain, it would probably have been blasted down by the force of the energy.

The dazzling light was thrown backward by the attack, and at the same time, the dead body in front of Bai Ze was also shattered by the recoil. The withered body inside was torn to pieces due to the loss of vital energy, and the exoskeleton armor was scattered all over the ground.

As the air surged, Bai Ze's figure was fully revealed, and on the other side, the opponent also revealed their true appearance.

Dressed in a dark blue military uniform, his snow-white hair danced wildly in the strong wind, and his azure pupils, carrying the chill of the polar wind, stared at Bai Ze, who had revealed his true form.

— Catherine, “Daughter of Ursus”.

"It's you?" Bai Ze looked surprised.

With a single palm strike, "Fleeting Years and Winds," he killed the young white man. Although the force of the palm strike had diminished, it had not weakened because it had unleashed the young man's vital energy.

The only person who could block that blow head-on without getting hurt could be the real Catherine.

So the question is, who was it that fought against Rhine at the top of the mountain?
"Dongxia Bai Ze".

Ekaterina also looked at Bai Ze, her azure eyes holding a deep, unfathomable quality. "And why are you here?"

Bai Ze was curious as to why Catherine was there, and Catherine was equally surprised to see Bai Ze there.

As they spoke, subtle fluctuations emanated from both of them, indicating that they were poised to strike and were on guard, yet showed no intention of retreating.

Clearly, both sides were determined to obtain the crystal in the center of the energy pool.

"Why am I here?"

Bai Ze chuckled softly, "Of course, we'll sit back and watch the tigers fight."
