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

Chapter 283 Dharma Form Cultivation, Heavenly Demon Reincarnation

The duel was thus decided.

Under Bai Ze's guidance and with Catherine's amplification, what was originally just Bai Ze's personal challenge evolved into a battle between the younger generation of the three kingdoms who entered the Yingzhou Secret Realm.

Whichever side wins will be able to trample the young martial artists of the other two countries under their feet.

While Bai Ze may have wanted to use Rhine and Ekaterina as stepping stones, these two also wanted to use others as stepping stones.

Moreover, Rhine and Ekaterina harbored a deep sense of apprehension towards Bai Ze.

The two of them are six-star, and are a year or two older than Yun Shu, while Bai Ze is only five-star.

Now Bai Ze is able to compete with the two of them. What will happen when Bai Ze breaks through to six stars in the future?

Although Ekaterina and Rhine were extremely confident in themselves, they could not help but be wary of Bai Ze.

This kid is already terrifying enough to make people gasp and exclaim, "This kid is terrifying!" In ten or twenty years, perhaps another formidable foe will emerge in Dongxia.

Although becoming a god requires extremely strong talent, comprehension, willpower, and even luck, perhaps the future Bai Ze will stop progressing for some reason, just like Mu Yaoguang before him. But as long as there is even the slightest sign, Rhine and Ekaterina will do their best to eliminate it.

Just like before, when Ekaterina targeted Rhine to prevent him from finding the Orochi's lair, now it's Bai Ze who's being targeted.

The best way to counter Bai Ze is to defeat him head-on, even leaving a shadow on him, and hindering the condensation of his martial arts divine intent.

So after the duel was agreed upon, Catherine and Rhine sent people to spread the news and actively facilitated the war.

With such a commotion occurring at Qingyu Mountain, the martial artists from Dongxia would not fail to notice, and they would certainly come to investigate.

So spreading the news is quite easy.

"I just don't know if the other young martial artists are willing to let Bai Ze represent the Eastern Xia Federation."

Rhein smirked and said to Yagyu Sojiro beside him, "We may not have been able to notify the others, but we must find the people from Dongxia Yanjing Martial Arts University. I want to see how the Dongxia people, who love infighting, will react to this."

"Also, hasn't Fisher returned yet?"

"No," Yagyu Sojiro said in a low voice.

"It seems he most likely died at the hands of those two."

Rhine glanced at Bai Ze, who was still on the boulder at the foot of the mountain, and shook his head.

One of Fisher's goals was the Yuan Qi Crystal. Now that the Yuan Qi Crystal is in Bai Ze's hands, and with Yekaterina secretly infiltrating Qingyu Mountain, and Fisher still not returning, he is most likely dead.

"An inauspicious start is the idiom I dislike the most."

Rhine shook his head slightly and said, "Leave one energy fluctuation device to continue calling Fisher, leave some people to keep an eye on Bai Ze, and the rest of you go hunt down the strange beasts in the secret realm. I need to absorb blood energy and adjust my condition to its peak."

"Yes," Yagyu Sojiro replied, bowing his head.

Meanwhile, Bai Ze, who was the focus of attention, seemed indifferent to everything else, remaining on the boulder at the foot of the mountain.

He even sat down cross-legged, absorbing vital energy while recalling the "Heavenly Demon Rebirth Technique".

Despite his determination to win, Bai Ze would not underestimate Rhine and Ekaterina in the slightest.

These two are no ordinary beings; one is a clone of the God of the Mortal Realm, and the other is revered as a saintess by the Ursus Orthodox Church, inheriting the power of the false saint. The former combines the new martial arts with the true martial arts, and although her martial arts intent is somewhat unorthodox and too extreme, it complements the Nuclear Fusion Fist quite well.

It's unclear whether this applies only to Rhine, or to the God of Earth and the other clones.

We should never underestimate anyone; there are many exceptionally talented individuals within the Western Union.

As for Ekaterina, Bai Ze has yet to witness her awakened abilities.

According to the information that Luo Shu stole from Ursus, Catherine was a born awakener who inherited the power of the Holy Son.

The Ursus Orthodox Church's attempt to have Catherine consolidate the church's faith was not because Catherine had a promising future, but simply because she possessed the ability to gather the power of faith.

Compared to these two, Yun Shu paled in comparison.

It's not that Yun Shu isn't capable, nor that he's not talented enough; it's just that these two are on another level.

While his talent may not surpass that of these two, and although the Azure Heaven Golden Elixir is powerful, it may not be able to overcome the advantages brought by the clone of the human god and the pseudo-holy son successor.

Moreover, given their status, they have access to all kinds of resources at will, making them far superior to Yun Shu and Bai Ze in this respect.

"Therefore, the strong need to 'cheat' their way to the top, or rather, they need to have an advantage in some aspect that reaches a cheat-like level, such as a cheat for comprehension, talent, or resources. Without cheating, how can they compete with those who are truly overpowered?"

As Bai Ze's mind raced, his lips moved slightly, and he murmured the contents of the "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique."

At the same time, an eerie and mysterious aura appeared on Bai Ze's body, forming a faint, indistinct phantom around him.

A Dharma image, roughly the same size as his body, materialized and overlapped with his own, its internal meridians forming and circulating the mental techniques of the "Heavenly Demon Rebirth Technique".

Although the law of words is real, Bai Ze might not be afraid of this strange technique, but it is still necessary to be a little cautious in everything.

Therefore, Bai Ze did not personally cultivate the "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique," but instead had his Dharma Image circulate the technique to undergo demon transformation.

The "Heavenly Demon Rebirth Technique" is unparalleled in its transformation of the physical body. Bai Ze might be able to further advance his Dharma form by practicing this technique in his Dharma form.

Then, using the Dharma Image as a control group, observe the changes in the "Heavenly Demon Rebirth Technique" to further understand the mysteries of this technique and thoroughly master it.

As the cultivation technique was practiced, the dark and mysterious aura grew stronger and stronger, and a touch of emerald green quietly appeared, causing subtle changes in the structure of the Dharma form.

The initial form of the Heavenly Demon Body actually originated from Qi. Through the transformation of essence and Qi, the physical body gradually transforms from shallow to deep.

Bai Ze's use of the Dharma Body to practice the technique does, in a way, align with the core principles of beginner's training.

The emerald green hue seeped into the Dharma imagery, gradually deepening and drawing in wisps of turbid, yin energy from the outside world.

Bai Ze felt as if his spiritual senses had suddenly broadened. Although he hadn't reached the sixth star level yet, his spiritual power seemed to be able to leave his body.

His feet connected with the rocks, and then with the earth. He felt a surge of turbid air rising from the ground, penetrating his feet. The turbid air rose step by step, trying to penetrate his body.

However, before it actually enters the body, the turbid energy has already been absorbed by the illusory image of the Dharma.

Although Bai Ze could sense the changes in the turbid energy, he himself remained unaffected by it.

Simply put, it's getting something for free.
