The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 351 The Birth of a Divine Weapon!

With the fall of King Jin Tian, ​​the entire battlefield of the Heavenly Palace Courtyard fell into a silent, deathly stillness. In a daze, the extremely arrogant and desolate laughter seemed to still echo in their ears. Everyone subconsciously looked at the figure that had finally 'knelt' there.

At this moment, he finally bowed his head, and strands of golden threads wrapped around his body, which were pure and boundless, the submission and following of the innate Geng metal energy.

The Dao has fallen.

However, there is no other way.

Whether friend or foe, he never strayed from his own path.

Zhou Yan, Shen Cangming, and the Primordial Dragon Turtle were all awestruck by this resolute spirit, but they quickly realized that they still had much more to do—

Zhou Yan used all his strength to fuse the two divine weapons into one.

The true essence of Gonggong, the water god of the Primordial Dragon Turtle, was partly poured into the body of the Golden Heavenly King, intending to corrupt him and turn him into Gonggong's subject. The other part naturally gathered when the Golden Heavenly King attacked, and was controlled by Gonggong to become Gonggong's phantom.

Gonggong's true essence was completely exhausted at this moment, which meant that the Great Sun True Fire, which Zhou Yan had transformed with all his might before, was no longer suppressed and began to burn again.

At this moment, Shen Cangming had exhausted all his strength.

Enlightened forces have also lost their fighting strength.

Zhou Yan had not yet finished forging and refining the divine weapon. The Primordial Dragon Turtle stared at Zhou Yan, knowing that he really, really had no chance. But at least he wanted to die with this mad Taoist.

The ancient dragon turtle stopped struggling and resisting.

He allowed Zhou Yan's Dharma form to pull him over with the Demon-Binding Rope, and at the same time, he released all the actions that suppressed the Great Sun True Fire within his body, deliberately stirring up his own blood and qi—

He transformed his own blood and qi into dye, forcefully activating one of the three terrifying true fires, the Great Sun True Fire, to its extreme level. Boundless, blazing golden true fire burned from his entire body.

Then, like the blazing sun falling from the sky onto the earth.

It rammed into Zhou Yan hard!
In the ancient times, when he was in his most desperate moment, it was the Venerable Gonggong who came to accept him. In this era, it was also the Venerable Gonggong who sent his retinue to maintain his true spirit and allow him to live. In the end, he even sacrificed five hundred years of cultivation to liberate him.

On the human side, there is also a saying that one must repay the kindness of a ruler.

If one receives three acts of kindness from the emperor, how should one repay them?
With this very body!

Abandoning all defenses, the Great Sun True Fire burning within his internal organs was enough to twist his soul. The intense pain caused even the Primordial Dragon Turtle to lose control, letting out mournful roars.

Even so, it did not change direction and crashed fiercely into Zhou Yan.

With his pupils tempered by the Great Sun True Fire, Zhou Yan's Eight Arms Seven Buddha Dharma Form collided with the body of the Primordial Dragon Turtle almost instantly, creating ripples. Zhou Yan groaned, and the divine weapons in his hands almost lost their stability and shattered.

This guy——!!!
Zhou Yan looked at the Primordial Dragon Turtle, which had completely given up any will to live. It saw through the truth of Zhou Yan's [Eight-Armed Seven-Headed Buddha Dharma Form], and its throat trembled as it uttered a voice that sounded like a dazed understanding: "...Bai Ze Shu?"

"Anything that is merely a simulation is ultimately just an illusion."

"On the Great Dao, there has never been a single equal force. Even if Bai Ze were here, he would not be my match, let alone you? Die!"

"Dispel illusions and preserve truth!"

Kaiming watched as the Primordial Dragon Turtle unleashed its great power, crashing down with tremendous force that nearly shattered the entire Eight-Armed Seven-Form Buddha Dharma Image. At this moment, Shen Cangming was no longer able to participate in the battle. Although he had absorbed Chi You's evil energy, refining it had already consumed a great deal of his mental energy.

Having gone through several battles, and with the weakness of insufficient ancestral magical power in his military lineage, Shen Cangming was now almost at the point of exhaustion. But at that moment, Shen Cangming suddenly felt something on his body rippling.

So he quickly grabbed it and, upon closer inspection, discovered it was a jade book!
He had forcefully severed An Qing'en's arm, which fell to the ground. Originally, Liu Xuande's jade talisman was among the fallen arms, but it was shattered into dust by the ancient dragon turtle during their fierce battle.

At this moment, the jade book rippled with boundless light, its radiance dazzling.

Seeing this, Kaiming exclaimed urgently, "...Bai Ze's book!! Give it to him quickly, this incomplete piece might still be useful!"

Shen Cangming said, "Okay!"

He gripped the jade book, wanting to rush to the battlefield, but after only half a step, his steps faltered. In this battle, both sides had pushed their physical strength and will to the limit, because what was at stake in this battle was not simply victory or defeat, or life and death.

Although Shen Cangming had glimpsed the opportunity to break through, it was not that simple.

Moreover, the battle has now reached a fever pitch. The Primordial Dragon Turtle is fighting against the Buddha's Dharma Form, and the earth is shaking. It can be said that at this moment, no Xuan Guan who is not at the fourth rank and cannot skillfully use the [Dharma Form Divine Power] is qualified to step into the core of the battlefield.

Shen Cangming's eyes were sharp.

Given his current condition, it would be extremely difficult for him to even get close to the jade book, let alone deliver it. Shen Cangming is not the type to rush to his death with just a surge of passion. Or rather, at this age, he is no longer that kind of person.

Time is the most important thing right now.

Time passed slowly, like a countdown. Shen Cangming's heart was beating faster and stronger than usual. His mind raced, and when he caught sight of the Qin Emperor's Whale-Shooting Bow beside him, a bold idea popped into his head.

"Perhaps, this will work!"

Shen Cangming gripped the war bow, binding the jade scroll to the last arrow, and locked onto Zhou Yan from afar. However, at this moment, the ancient dragon turtle's will to fight to the death was extremely surging, whether it was its true form or its divine beast body, it was all so enormous.

Zhou Yan's true form is hidden within the Dharma.

Shen Cangming's arrow moved up and down. Even for a sharpshooter like him, at this crucial moment, it was a huge challenge to use his last arrow to shoot the thing that could break the deadlock into the battleground where the vital energy was tearing apart, and to accurately land it on Zhou Yan's side.

what to do……

A deep, resonant dragon roar resounded.

A resolute glint flashed in Shen Cangming's eyes.

........................

boom! ! ! !

The eight arms of the Buddha's Dharma form, consisting of eight arms, came together, forming a continuous lotus platform, firmly supporting the head of the giant dragon turtle. Its legs retreated, connecting with the earth's veins, using the concept of a celestial pillar to stabilize itself, and it fought desperately against the ancient dragon turtle.

However, even with all the enhancements, the [Dharma Image Jade Talisman] obtained in the Battle of the Reclining Buddha Temple was starting to crumble and was beginning to collapse.

Or rather, even the Reclining Buddha of the Reclining Buddha Temple, born from numerous desires, resentments, and karmic causes in this era, and the ancient, exotic spider, would be nothing more than a piece of trash to be crushed underfoot by the Primordial Dragon Turtle.

Zhou Yan's true form was pushed backward.

Just then, a series of dragon roars echoed from the void, and water and clouds gathered around, bombarding the Primordial Dragon Turtle. Normally, this force would allow the Primordial Dragon Turtle to recover its strength and vitality.

However, at this moment, the Primordial Dragon Turtle was bathed in the Great Sun True Fire. This pure dragon essence slammed down, and the water and fire energies clashed, causing the Primordial Dragon Turtle to feel intense pain and unable to help but let out a series of roars.

But even when the pain reached this level, they still refused to stop.

Zhou Yan's eyes swept across the water and clouds, and he saw Ao Xuantao's dragon roaring endlessly. This dragon was first hit by a spell and fell into a dream. Not long after it broke free, it went to suppress the aquatic creatures and fought a deadly battle with the dragon turtle. Its scales were cracked in many places and blood was scattered all over its body.

But they refused to retreat, still retaining the pride of the dragon race.

Forced through the area, atop the dragon's head, a warrior with curly hair and beard raised his bow. Shen Cangming exhaled, mustered his last strength, and drew back the [Qin Emperor's Whale-Shooting Bow], roaring:
"Here you go, Ayan!!!"

The arrow shot out a stream of light.

The Primordial Dragon Turtle raised its head and rammed into the eye: "Don't even think about it!" The ramming was incredibly painful, for it was indeed just an arrow infused with Shen Cangming's full power, carrying the murderous aura of Chi You, which caused the arrow to pierce directly into the Primordial Dragon Turtle's eye.

The dragon turtle roared in agony, and at that very moment, Shen Cangming said:
"It's now!"

Ao Xuantao roared like a dragon and suddenly raised his head.

The moment the dragon raised its head, a fierce wind arose. Shen Cangming released his grip on Ao Xuantao's dragon horns, and his body was thrown out like a boulder. Shen Cangming grabbed the jade book and slammed it into Zhou Yan's dharma image.

At this point, there's no need for concealment anymore.

Kaiming practically yelled at the top of his lungs, "Zhou Yan!!!"

"Use this fragment of the Bai Ze Book to strengthen your Dharma Jade Talisman!"

Without hesitation, Zhou Yan shifted his thoughts and quickly flipped through the Bai Ze Book in his mind.

The jade talisman representing the [Eight-Armed Seven-Headed Buddha Dharma Form] flew out and merged with the jade book handed over by Shen Cangming. In an instant, the enormous Dharma Form became incredibly real and forcefully held back the dragon turtle.

Shen Cangming, having lost his last bit of strength, plummeted downwards.

Amidst the roar of the dragon, Ao Xuantao, whose scales were shattered, stretched out his dragon claws and grabbed Shen Cangming at the critical moment.

The dragon turtle suddenly shook its body and crashed into Ao Xuantao.

The scales on that piece of armor almost burst open, and golden blood scattered in all directions. Ao Xuantao and Shen Cangming were both sent flying and crashed heavily into a nearby mountain. At this moment, they no longer had the strength to fight to the death.

Zhou Yan held the two fragments of divine weapons in his hands and melted them together with the True Fire of the Great Sun.

At this moment, the fragments of the Earthly Soul and Heavenly Collapse have completed their first reforging. With the help of Gonggong's Water Element and the Great Sun's True Fire, they have transformed into the blade of the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword, completely shedding their original form.

The blade is covered with naturally formed divine patterns, golden lightning, and the two elements of water and fire, all of which move across the weapon. Even with the naked eye, one can tell how terrifying and heavy this weapon is.

The other hand, the heavy staff originally used to strike the bell, has also begun to possess the two energies of water and fire. However, it will take time for these two divine weapons to merge. In the ancient times, it was normal for the final step of this divine weapon to take eighty-one years.

At this moment, we are using this world as a furnace, exerting all our strength to accelerate.

After knocking Ao Xuantao and Shen Cangming away, the Primordial Dragon Turtle desperately charged forward. This time, its blessed Dharma form was able to withstand the impact of the immense power and was not completely shattered.

However, the power of the Primordial Dragon Turtle was still too immense.

Zhou Yan's Dharma form withstood the charge of the Primordial Dragon Turtle, but was still pushed backward. The ripples and recoil from the tremors of his magical power caused Zhou Yan, who was at the center of his Dharma form, to experience bouts of dizziness.

Recast! Recast!
Zhou Yan's Dharma image was forced to retreat.

The ground beneath their feet collapsed and shattered, crashing down with a deafening roar, smashing the houses near the Tenguin Temple and making a rumbling sound as it broke apart.

If Pei Xuan Niao and his men hadn't led some still-spirited soldiers to roam the area and guide the civilians away, many people would have died. At this moment, Zhou Yan also learned what the Primordial Dragon Turtle's goal truly was—

He intended to abandon this body and all possibilities of survival, and instead use himself as a weapon, crashing his mountain-like body into the city of Langzhong, destroying it completely, and sacrificing it to Gonggong.

How hateful! I won't let you have your way!
The ancient dragon turtle roared, exerting all its strength, and suddenly crashed to one side.

Zhou Yan was trying to do two things at once, forging his divine weapon while intercepting the Primordial Dragon Turtle. In the end, it was too much of a strain. Meanwhile, Shen Cangming and Ao Xuantao, who had come to restrain the Primordial Dragon Turtle, were now powerless.

He was unable to suppress the Primordial Dragon Turtle under such circumstances.

If the Primordial Dragon Turtle were to rush into this place—

If all the common people die, all the results of everyone's hard work will be meaningless. However, if Zhou Yan wants to intercept the Primordial Dragon Turtle, he will have to exert all his strength to have even the slightest chance. In that case, the divine weapon being forged will be immediately interrupted.

Since things have come to this, there's no need to say more!

The body of the ancient dragon turtle suddenly froze.

The eight arms of the eight-armed, seven-form Buddha Dharma body gripped it tightly, and Zhou Yan himself did the same, wholeheartedly activating it, using the Giant Spirit Tenfold Power to empower the Dharma body, and doing his utmost to grab the Primordial Dragon Turtle.

The Primordial Dragon Turtle's plan failed, but it also saw it—saw the light and shadow dissipate on the divine weapon on which so much hope had been placed, and saw the Great Sun True Fire vanish at the point of connection between the two divine weapons.

The forging of the divine weapon failed.

The Primordial Dragon Turtle laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, without your divine weapon, you are no match for me. You have ultimately failed, and it is a victory for my venerable god!"

Chi You, who could only watch from the sidelines, clenched his fist in resentment. Ji Xuanyuan, also filled with regret, gripped the rubble on both sides with his open hands, looking at the low-hanging sky, watching Ao Xuantao lying among the rubble, struggling and unable to move, and seeing Shen Cangming grabbing Zhang Fei's eighteen-foot spear and swaying as he got up.

Everything was desolate.

On the unforged divine weapon, the flames went out, and the divine patterns on the weapon began to dim. Because it lost the tempering and burning of the Great Sun True Fire, the fusion process was interrupted, and the five pieces of gold began to entangle with each other into a mass of impurities.

Kaiming asked, "...Did it fail?"

Without the innate five elements of this place, without the harmonious combination of the three worlds of Langzhong as the furnace fire, and without the Great Sun True Fire, this divine weapon could never have been born...

Zhou Yan gasped for breath; he had reached his limit. The Primordial Dragon Turtle said, "To save the few people here, you abandoned forging weapons. This is the weakness of you humans. If you had been decisive enough to forge divine weapons, you would have survived."

"For the sake of your so-called grand ambitions, you use other people's lives as a price and a bargaining chip. This kind of scum is something only you like. I want it all!"

A sudden madness rose in Zhou Yan's eyes.

At this critical juncture, the only option is to stride forward and take another step!
boom! ! !
Zhou Yan reached out his hand, and the eight-armed, seven-form Buddha Dharma image also reached out its hand, its six arms firmly controlling the Primordial Dragon Turtle. Then, it grasped the divine weapon that had lost its light—

It's too late to reignite the Great Sun True Fire.

But right now, isn't there still a hearth fire here?!
A frantic decision flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes.

Stepping forward, Zhou Yan gripped his weapon tightly in his right hand, condensing his energy into a spear. At the same time, his Dharma Image also grasped the heavy, iron-like weapon. With a roar, Zhou Yan's arm, his Dharma Image's hand, and the unforged divine weapon all pierced into the eyes of the Primordial Dragon Turtle.

Water and fire clashing together create thunder.

The blazing fire completely ignited Zhou Yan's Dharma form!

The golden flames enveloped the eight-armed, seven-form Buddha image, and also engulfed Zhou Yan's arm in the golden flames. Amidst the boundless pain, as if his arm was about to be burned to a crisp, Zhou Yan suddenly felt a jolt.

The Azure Lotus Sword Qi pierced his arm, leaving wounds one after another.

Nothing in this world can go according to plan. Since we cannot use the Great Sun Fire as a furnace and the Gonggong Water for tempering, then—

Use the enemy as a furnace, and temper yourself!
Zhou Yan's blood flowed onto this divine weapon, spreading instantly.

Burned by the true fire of the Great Sun, it turned into a brand!
Everything seemed to fall into a deathly silence for a moment.

The next moment, the roar of steel soared into the sky and resounded throughout the nine heavens and three realms!

Divine Weapon—

Casting complete!
