With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 569 The Sinking Boat Subdues the Dragon, Transcending the Dharma Realm! (6k)

This domineering aura had become tangible, and Liao Hai's entire magnetic field was instantly and completely invaded.

It is not surprising that the thought of kneeling and worshiping arose naturally.

At the same time, just as his momentum reached its peak.

Meng Chuan's eyes narrowed, and he made a sudden move.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred meters is covered in the blink of an eye.

It was as if a mountain, accompanied by a suffocatingly powerful gale, crashed into the Dragon-Subduing Arhat, who was the incarnation of the Crimson Fiend!

The speed of the movement and the swiftness of the force exerted!
It was like a massive army marching in, or like a landslide and tsunami!
Meng Chuan's opening move was extraordinary.

Using the molten lava flames entwined in his fists as a spear, he stirred up huge waves with his enormous body.

The combination of the two is the fusion of water and fire between the Eight Extremes of Shaking River and the Flame Burst of Molten Core, working together to unleash a powerful and true attack!

For techniques involving the Five Elements, he has long since transcended the limitations of any single school.

Two types, or even more, of martial arts styles, are being explored through fusion.

This is also one of the core reasons why he was able to unleash strength far exceeding the second limit.

at the same time.

In that instant, all the hairs on the body of "Dragon-Subduing Arhat" stood on end!
Chi Li sensed just how exquisite the fist and foot techniques Meng Chuan used when he attacked were.

There must be a reason why a celestial demon could comprehend this path.

The Eighteen Arhats of Shaolin were originally the most combat-oriented among the immortals and Buddhas.

They were proficient in martial arts and fighting techniques, which led to the creation of many different fighting styles.

The Arhat possessed by the Crimson Wrath is the most skilled in martial arts among the Eighteen Arhats.

Arhat who subdues dragons!

A martial artist possessed by a conceptual demon is naturally unable to break through the limitations of martial will.

One can only control the power of one's own body, which involves a series of aspects such as thinking, skills, and spirit, and cannot be "inherited" at all.

But immortals and Buddhas are different.

Without the restraint of willpower, how much power one can exert while wearing its skin depends entirely on the abilities of the Heavenly Demon itself.

Therefore, Chi Li inherited all of the exquisite fighting skills of the Arhat Subduing Dragon and was able to apply them in actual combat.

In addition, he was blessed with demonic energy and the divine power of incense.

Chi Li's strength is far from being as "trash" as Meng Chuan and the others had previously thought.

Meng Chuan's fist intent surged forth, and a heavy blow was about to hit him head-on.

Chi Li leaped off the chair, his muscular body bulging, his fur bristling with azure flames.

With an extremely skillful posture, he dodged Meng Chuan's angry attack, only suffering minor injuries from the wide-ranging impact of the fist's intent.

Its movements were agile, completely different from the enormous demons Meng Chuan had seen before, which surprised him somewhat.

Immediately afterward, Meng Chuan's skin seemed to sense something before it happened, vibrating slightly for a moment as he perceived Chi Li's sudden attack.

Sure enough, at the same time he sensed it.

Two pairs of iron clamps, like raging flames, instantly gripped his wrists!

Chi Li, disguised as the Arhat who subdues dragons, has transformed into a master of fist and foot fighting techniques, proficient in combat skills.

Liao Hai recognized this move.

It is clearly from the lineage of the Arhat Subduing Dragon, a dragon-shaped grappling fist technique—【Azure Dragon Emerging from the Water】!
The two were locked in a fierce battle, their two-colored flames swirling together in a tight, impenetrable frenzy, which made Hai extremely anxious.

He couldn't even get involved, fearing he might accidentally hurt Meng Chuan and end up making things worse.

At the same time, Meng Chuan was caught off guard by Chi Li's move.

If a demon suddenly displays a grappling technique in front of you, who can defend against it?
That move by the opponent was truly unexpected.

Meng Chuanyi was simply stuck in his old ways of thinking and never expected the Heavenly Demon to pull this stunt.

He was put on the defensive, and his wrist was seized.

However, what left Hai speechless happened in the next second!
Meng Chuanben's hand, which was harder than steel bars, became like clay, as if it had no bones. It shrank a lot in an instant, and half of his arm disappeared into thin air.

Chi Li stumbled forward, his hands gripping the air tightly.

what happened?
Don't forget, Meng Chuan possesses so many qualities that he is certainly capable of cheating.
The combined effect of flesh and blood created this unbelievable scene.

Chi Li missed his target, but he did not relax. He had already inherited most of the skills of the Arhat Subduing Dragon.

Just as he was about to fall forward, he took advantage of the momentum to climb up.

He leaned in, his clenched fist shooting up Meng Chuan's arm and instantly reaching Meng Chuan's neck, the emerald flames about to smash his throat!
As the master of the Demon Nest, Chi Li was able to suppress the Tiger Demon and maintain order, which was no ordinary person.
The two pulled close to face, but no sound came out in the blink of an eye.

But the ground beneath Chi Li's feet had already rolled up three zhang (approximately 10 meters) and surged and piled up at the threshold like waves.

If it weren't for the protective force field here, the entire temple would have collapsed long ago under this force!

In Liao Hai's eyes, the scene was bizarre and suddenly became dangerous.

He was actually quite confident that Meng Chuan could handle it.

After all, they were able to defeat even the divided soul of that clan uncle, Chi Li.

Dealing with my nephew, even if there are dangers, are just dangers; in the end, I definitely won't lose.

But if it were him in that moment...

Liao Hai estimated that he really couldn't beat Chi Li under the Dragon-Subduing Arhat template.
If the Heavenly Demon were to kill him with a flurry of "fist techniques," he'd probably be so ashamed he'd be relegated to his next life.
Just as Chi Li's fists reached for his throat, Meng Chuan and Hai had the same thought.

The Heavenly Demon Society's fist techniques caught me somewhat off guard.
But he was only slightly surprised; when trying to outsmart him, Chi Li had picked the wrong person.

Meng Chuan's arms had long been concealing their strength.

The muscles surged from the fingertips like waves, spreading layer by layer to the forearm, upper arm, and shoulder, finally reaching the neck, where they all gathered. Under the cover of the earth's energy, it was as if an extremely thick tortoise shell was being put over the neck.

Chi Li slammed his fists against the tortoise shell, and a crisp sound shook the heavens and the earth.

But a sudden realization struck it: the cracking sound was the sound of its own fist striking, not the pleasant sound of its neck breaking.

Missed!
At first glance, one could see rings of black muscle covering Meng Chuan's neck.

Apart from the two small pits, the neck muscles were shiny black, indicating that the treatment had not been effective.

Startled, he noticed that Meng Chuan's shortened arm had slipped out of his sleeve again.

It appeared abruptly, stretching out in an instant.

Like a dragon or snake surging through the waves, his arms coiled in a strange arc, his fists facing downwards with their blades reversed. In the blink of an eye, he was raised as if a dragon or snake had burst out from the seabed, and in that instant, he was only an inch away from its neck!
Swish!
Surrounded by emerald flames, Chi Li used the fire to propel himself forward, retracting his fists and shuffling his legs, dodging in the posture of an Arhat stepping on a dragon. Hai Zhi was stunned, realizing that this demon's Shaolin fist and foot techniques were even more exquisite than his own.

As expected of being possessed by the Arhat who subdues dragons, he's truly powerful.
Unfortunately, its opponent was the Infinite Fist, who was extremely skilled in fighting techniques!
The enemy retreats while we advance; Meng Chuan will not let this opportunity slip by.

His right foot shot out like an arrow, and in less than a tenth of the blink of an eye, it was back on.

Clenching his fist, a vast and powerful fist intent enveloped his body, gathering like a dragon.

In the instant of close combat, with a twist of the wrist, the fist of pushing out the palm burst forth with the intent of magma, which poured down like a surging wave, and was pushed straight out with the palm. Using the technique of bursting out with short force, the distance was too short for Chi Li to avoid!
The Heavenly Demon's abilities are unpredictable. Now, dressed in the skin of an Arhat, he has become arrogant and is trying to defeat me using fighting techniques.

We must seize this opportunity, unleash a devastating attack to kill it instantly, rendering it unable to use any of its skills!
Bang-!
As the palm struck, Chi Li's bones rattled and creaked as if they were about to fall apart. His skin was charred black and covered in lava and pus. His entire Arhat-like appearance was nearly destroyed by this palm strike.

Meng Chuan took the steps of Yu, stepping on the Kan Palace, using his knees to block Chi Li's retreat, and his hands, like giant claws, opened wide and instantly gripped Chi Li's shoulders, dragging his entire Arhat body off the ground.

In an instant, with a pull and a collision, it was pushed straight through several walls and flew more than a hundred meters away. Liao Hai watched as the two of them fell into the lava outside the temple and hurriedly chased after them.

The magma pool was boiling, and huge magma bubbles would occasionally burst open on the surface, with two figures tumbling and rolling like waves within it.

Here, the fire element energy surged, and Meng Chuan's intent in practicing the Lava Fist intensified.

With a change of intention, the enormous body of the fire dragon, whose tail was not visible, coiled around him, roaring as it swooped down with the force of his fist.

Charge at Chi Li, so that it may learn a thing or two about who the true "Dragon-Subduing Arhat" is!
Chi Li's shoulder was gripped tightly by his left hand, and the green flames, demonic energy, and Arhat energy surged and burrowed, but all his struggles were in vain!

It's like a child being dragged up by the collar by an adult; if they dare to fight up close, they'll never escape Meng Chuan's control.

The intent of his fist surged, and at that moment, a ruthless glint flashed in Meng Chuan's eyes.

With a thought, the magnetic field shifted, and the flowing magma beneath his feet instantly solidified.

He stepped outward with his right foot, inserting it precisely into the gap between Chi Li's legs. He pressed his body against it, placing his right fist against his chest. He suddenly swung his upper arm with force, a flash of cold light from his elbow, as if striking with a battering ram.

His left hand was still holding Chi Li, who was unable to move and could only watch helplessly as his right elbow crashed into his own open goal!

With the fire element of lava fist as the main force, the pool of magma was transformed into a surging, extraordinary phenomenon!
Shaking the eight extremes of the river—the sunken ship is moored!

As the lava churned, at this critical moment, Chi Litou suddenly lifted his head from the surface of the pool, grazing his elbow as he slid down.

puff.

Wow——!
With a muffled thud, accompanied by a wave of flames, Meng Chuan's elbow struck his chest.

Chi Li dodged the headshot, but his chest had to take the hit for his head.

"My form is ethereal and insubstantial; my physical body has been shattered by him. I'll take my leave for now."

Faced with Meng Chuanyi's series of fierce attacks and his body, which he had repeatedly tested and found to be almost invincible, he was completely defeated.

Chi Li had long harbored the intention to retreat.

Unfortunately, will Meng Chuan let him go?
When the Arhat's body was struck by this elbow, it was sent flying like a feather, hanging high in the air. The force that penetrated deep inside exploded fiercely, and the skin could not withstand the force, so it immediately disintegrated and scattered.

Severed limbs and mangled skin fragments scattered everywhere. Liao Hai held his head high and could even hear a series of bowstring snapping sounds.

Seeing a rain of blood fall from the sky, Liao Hai was deeply shocked.

Meng Chuan's elbow strike was actually smashed by "Dragon Subduing Arhat"!

It wasn't over yet; Liao Hai knew that the original body was still alive.

He immediately made a large gesture, and heavy water shot out from his fingertips.

Harnessing the power of the mind, they sought to besiege the ruthless.

However, before his attack could reach him, Meng Chuan released Chi Li's shoulder and pressed down with his left hand.

With this action, countless soaring fire dragons emerged from the center of the lava pool, coiling around the invisible body of the Crimson Fiend like exquisite spheres.

"Do not!!!"

Chi Lili watched helplessly as the Arhat's physical form disintegrated in the wind of the fist, the demonic energy dissipated like smoke, and his own body was imprisoned in the fire prison.

It never imagined it would end up like this.

This body, cloaked in the skin of the Arhat who subdues dragons, is so fragile.

No, it's not that the Arhat was weak, it's that the human's punch was too heavy!

It was so heavy that even the blessing of incense and divine power couldn't withstand it!

"How could I be so stupid as to get close to him?"

Chi Li's chest was filled with hatred and fear, and he regretted his past actions!
It pounded on the cage like a madman, trying to escape, but Meng Chuan's hand was like an iron gate, blocking its escape route.

He tried to struggle, but his body was already immobilized by the pressure of spiritual power.

Amidst the rain of blood, it caught a glimpse of the chilling killing intent in Meng Chuan's eyes and suddenly realized:

"I truly underestimated these humans; in his eyes, they were nothing more than livestock waiting to be slaughtered."

"Spare me—"

Before he could utter a plea, a slap landed.

The last thing I saw was a sky full of fire dragons roaring and swallowing its soul light.

Lord of the Level Two Demon Nest: Crimson Wrath.

dead!
Tap tap tap.
Meng Chuan, drenched in magma, stepped out of the boiling pool. Dark red liquid slid down his muscular body, which was gradually shrinking, and wisps of white smoke rose from the scorched ground.

"War correspondent" Liao Hai quickly stepped forward, clasping his hands in admiration:

"As expected of the captain, Chi Li bowed down with just a few punches and kicks. Such power is truly formidable!"

They stormed into the main hall, seized Chi Li, and then returned to the lava pool to bring him to his death.

The entire process takes no more than ten seconds.

Massacre!

Stop flattering me.

Before mastering the Lava Fist Intent, Chi Li's strength was somewhat troublesome.

Unfortunately, this environment is still his home turf.

Furthermore, the other party dared to use fists and kicks against her. Wasn't that like an old lady who wanted to hang herself?

Meng Chuan flicked out the remaining flame on his wrist and looked down at the gilded Arhat statue on the seat.

He walked straight over and reached out to pick up the statue.

Just as he was thinking, should he find a secluded place and use the demonic energy to communicate with the Arhat who subdues dragons?

After all, the opponent was not completely corrupted by the demon, and still had some remaining power, unlike Vaisravana who dissipated.

But then a ray of azure light descended from the dome, swirling around it like gauze or mist, and the statue with its cracked base suddenly took on a mystical appearance.

Seeing this, Liao Hai's expression was complicated.

Meng Chuan broke the "parasite" clinging to the Arhat who subdues dragons; how could the Arhat not be grateful?

This is also known as the gift received by the one who discovers the temple.

His own lord turned against him, not leaving him any gifts, and Liao Hai accepted it.
After all, he was just observing from the sidelines and never got involved.

It's reasonable that the gift wasn't given to myself.
At the same time, Meng Chuan was holding a Luohan statue in his right hand.

He could also feel the aura emanating from the statue slowly wrapping around his body, being inhaled through his pores, and moving closer to his liver.

What is your intention?

Meng Chuan sensed that this aura was trying to guide his soul in an extremely gentle way.

This was completely different from the previous process of being sucked into Beiju Luzhou.

If you ask him to describe it, it's very similar to the feeling of stepping into the "starry sky" where Brahma is for the first time.

Now his spiritual power is strong enough, and the flame of his soul burns even brighter.

When faced with the invitation from the Arhat Subduing Dragon, one can choose whether or not to accept it.

Of course we have to go in!
In the normal Dharma realm, the flow of time is similar to that in reality.

Meng Chuan instructed Hai Zhao to examine his physical condition, then summoned the Dragon Demon to protect him, and his mind actively connected with the energy of the Dragon-Subduing Arhat.

In an instant, the soul was guided away from the body.

During this process, Meng Chuan consciously focused his perception on his body.

But the gaze in his eyes, drawn by the breath, had already transformed into the perspective of his soul.

Seeing his body tremble, he tried to follow the instructions given before his gaze shifted, and catch up with his soul.

Can it work?
Unfortunately, Meng Chuan saw it clearly from the perspective of the soul.
It felt as if there was an invisible barrier separating my own body from mine.

It was as if something in the air was constantly blocking his way, preventing his body from leaving with his soul.

"what?"

In that instant, Meng Chuanming understood.

It turns out that my physical body has long since caught up with the growth rate of my soul.

However, there is an invisible barrier that has been preventing the physical body from leaving the human world!

what?
It dawned on him.

The gap between human dimensions!
How to break through?

In the instant his soul's vision went completely black, he seemed to sense something in the darkness.

Breaking free from the constraints imposed on the body by the rules of the human dimension.

The normal method is simply to break through to a certain level in martial arts realm.

For example, reaching the seventh level of the Great Sage.

The bursts of light that appear when those martial arts masters descend must be related to breaking through dimensional limitations!
But he couldn't wait that long; the seventh deadline was approaching, and by then it would be too late.
What else can be done?
He is different from others, possessing a multitude of unique qualities!

Before entering the Arhat Dharma Realm, Meng Chuan's last gaze lingered on the panel, and he made up his mind.

[Baxia Supporting the Sky Skill: Mastery (68%) Awaiting Limit Break]

[Limit Breaking Trait: Transcendence (Core)]

"Bound by shackles, not by choice; freed from the eight paths, roaming without restraint."

He clearly realized that if he could guide the process of breaking through the limits, it would be beneficial.

The day I acquire [Transcendence], this physical body will be able to begin shedding the shackles of "mortal form".

Transcending everything.
The first to transcend will transcend the limitations of dimensions!
At that time, the muscles and bones will become the ladder to heaven, and the soul will transform into a dragon. Why would there be any need for a god to guide us?

The realm of immortals and Buddhas, and even other realms of imagery, and the entire human world!

Even the Heavenly Demon Realm?
These will all become my own backyard, and I can come and go as I please!

As his vision cleared and his feet touched the ground again, Meng Chuanxian put aside these thoughts.

He diligently practiced martial arts, and was only one step away from breaking through the limit to reach the state where his body and soul could roam freely.

The Dharma Realm of the Arhat Who Subdues Dragons.

Meng Chuan recovered in an instant, and his sense of touch returned to his body.

Looking around, I found myself in a high-ceilinged, spacious hall.

Looking up, a clue became apparent.

The dome had already collapsed more than halfway, and the void revealed only darkness.

Along the edge of the cavity, many black, tendril-like tentacles stretched into the hall.

At this moment, it was as if it had frozen in mid-air, completely motionless.

Meng Chuan smelled that the "scent" on these tentacles was the same as the energy on Chi Li's body earlier.

These are the very things that are stealing the incense offerings from the Arhat who subdues dragons.

Can I interrupt?

These tentacles are only of the same origin as the Crimson Fiend's aura, but they are not part of the Crimson Fiend's "original demon" body.

He might try planting demonic energy, but he wasn't optimistic about its effectiveness.

Because the origin of these black tentacles comes from there, combined with what Chi Li had just said to himself in the hall.

Meng Chuanquan understood everything.

Its uncle, the one who wore the skin of Vaisravana, was the one who obtained it for it.

From whom did you ask for it?

His uncle came from the Taihang Mountains and pledged allegiance to a famous and powerful demon, clearly a whisper from the mountains.
Therefore, seeing the tentacles hanging down from the hollow inside the hall, he had absolutely no intention of helping.
If this alerts that person in Taihang, and they follow the clues to get revenge on me, it would truly be an undeserved disaster.

"Leave early, we can't stay here any longer."

In a flash, Meng Chuan set the tone for this journey to the Dharma Realm.

Looking around again, he knew where he was.

This place is the Arhat Hall on Shaolin Temple Mountain.
However, it's a damaged version.
Broken glazed tiles and rotten beams were stuck diagonally on the brick ground.

More than half of the twelve dragon-carved pillars have collapsed, and the remaining pillars are covered with spiderweb-like cracks, teetering on the verge of collapse.

Turning our gaze back to the head of the hall, we see a dragon statue with its head severed, its embers glowing a dull, greenish hue.

The Arhat Subduing the Dragon is seated cross-legged three inches in front of the soaring dragon.

Both arms were severed at the shoulders, a gruesome sight that even Meng Chuan couldn't help but sigh in sorrow.
My senses scanned the area again, but before they could extend far, they touched a void.

The Dharma realm of the Arhat who subdues dragons is not only in imminent danger, but is also only "the size of a palm".

Perhaps its magical power was originally limited, resulting in a narrow Dharma realm where it resided.

Furthermore, due to the continuous theft by Chi Li, it has become like this.
Meng Chuan speculated that the original location of his Dharma Realm must have been in what Buddhism calls the "Saha World".

The Saha world, which includes the four continents including Uttarakuru, is the Dharma realm of the Buddha.

Then it was instantly eroded and torn apart by the owner of the black tentacles.

The dimension of the Dharma realm of the Arhat who subdues dragons is disconnected from the Saha world.

Only now could he see his surroundings, which were nothingness.

That makes sense.
These realms of Buddhism were originally interconnected, forming the vast and boundless Saha world of the Buddha.

It guards the central Mount Sumeru, the sacred mountain where Buddha resides.

Based on this analysis...
The Northern Continent, which was guarded by Vaisravana, was also lost because the owner of this black tentacle cut through its dimensions.

Hearing too much and being alone, he was completely corrupted by the demon.

As for why the Buddha didn't intervene, or whether he was unable to intervene, Meng Chuan didn't think about it any further.

He never believed that incense offerings and Buddhist deities could withstand the ultimate darkness of the whispering mountains.

At the same time, this is also a fact.

If all the gods and Buddhas in the mortal realm could be defeated, we wouldn't be in this dire situation.
This demonstrates just how powerful the Whispering Mountains are. Can the Grand Ritual of Luo Tian truly subdue this demon?
If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up; Meng Chuan didn't worry about it and instead approached the Arhat.

He had been inside for a while, and when he was called in, the man remained unresponsive, so he wanted to ask him something.

He wanted to go back soon; he kept feeling creeped out by those tentacles above his head.
Don't suddenly come back to life and end up in the Taihang Mountains.
"You jinx! Pshaw!"

Meng Chuan muttered to himself as he stood before the Arhat Subduing Dragon, when suddenly he received a divine thought.

奥.
I see, it wasn't that the other person was ignoring him.

Instead, they were completely drained, and even speaking was extremely difficult.
Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in front of the Arhat, his mind jolted, and the Arhat's majestic yet slightly weak voice echoed in his mind:
"It is not that I, this humble monk, have been negligent; it is that I have been deeply corrupted, and the incense offerings have long since dried up."

Meng Chuan nodded, indicating his understanding.

He could sense that his remaining magical power was slipping away like sand through an hourglass.

With each breath the Dharma Realm manifests, those dim blue flames extinguish one part.

On the broken murals, the reliefs are gradually weathering and peeling away.

This Dharma realm is sufficient!

If Fang Jianxing can be trapped for even a moment, his physical body can be dealt with in a single punch.
As Zhenwu the Great previously stated, maintaining the presence of non-believers in the Dharma Realm would continuously deplete the power of incense offerings and divine energy.

In this respect, the Arhat who subdues dragons was already strapped for cash.

Meng Chuan didn't beat around the bush and spoke frankly:

"Your Excellency, I need your help with a small matter."
