Chapter 275 Duel with the Ancestral Master, Dharma Image? I have one too!
"Ho...!"

The crowd, who had just been celebrating Li Wushou's killing of the mysterious girl, were now horrified. Their throats were dry, and some were unable to speak!

Saint?

Everlasting Mountain?

Judging from the words and actions of the founder of the Kongzi lineage, the other party does not seem to be simply alienated, but rather seems to be controlled by the force he mentioned called the Immortal Mountain.

Otherwise, why would he stand on the side of Mount Immortality and question the High Priest?

What made everyone even more desperate was that the floating cloud Dharma image of the patriarch of the Floating Character lineage had been eaten!
This means that the two skies covering the suspended mountain collapsed simultaneously.

The elders and protectors had just descended from the suspended mountain for some unknown reason. Now, faced with such a shocking turn of events, they were all left without support, bewildered and anxious.

It wasn't until they heard this chilling question that everyone's hearts tightened, and they realized that there was still a backbone on the suspended mountain—the High Priest Li Wushou!
The crowd's deathly silence began to stir again, and they turned their attention back to the High Priest.

However, even those who had just been full of confidence in Li Wushou were now becoming somewhat uneasy.

This is, after all, the Kongzi lineage ancestor who has devoured both the Dragon God and the Floating lineage ancestor's Dharma image!

A true deity-level being capable of controlling the Dharma form!

Its ferocity is boundless, chilling to the bone.

Will the High Priest be able to hold on this time?

Li Wushou ignored the gazes of the crowd, quietly gazing up at the image of the founder of the Kongzi lineage, his expression indifferent.

The Dharma form of the patriarch of the Kongzi lineage became even more enigmatic.

Among the myriad crystal faces covering its form, half are the dragon bodies transformed from dragon gods, while the other half are mostly filled with clusters of fragmented floating clouds.

At this moment, the former is constantly transforming its Dharma form, while the latter is fluctuating its great power in an attempt to break through.

This caused the Dharma image of the founder of the Kongzi lineage to lose its human form and become chaotic and insane.

Even those who were in charge of the household, though far enough away, dared not look for long, for fear that they might accidentally fall into alienation.

Li Wushou didn't seem to care much about this.

Faced with the fierce questioning of the founder of the Kongzi lineage, Li Wushou raised an eyebrow.

How do you want to die?
Li Wushou himself was actually very curious about what death felt like.
Is it worse than being hungry?
Li Wushou was also unaware of this; he seemed to have a very difficult time dying!

So he spoke with a hint of sincerity to the Dharma image of the founder of the Kongzi lineage or the puppet Taoist of the Immortal Mountain, suggesting:

"Why don't you try killing me? I'd love to test the power of the Dharma Form!"

Upon hearing this, the enormous suspended mountain suddenly fell silent.

The anxious heads of the households and the City God stared wide-eyed.

Regardless of whether the High Priest could withstand the Dharma form of the founder of the Void lineage, his fearless attitude of seeking death alone was enough to impress everyone.

The great priest is so brave!
In stark contrast to the emotions of the crowd, the puppeteer who manipulated the founder of the Void Clan was furious.

For the past three years, the founder of the Kongzi lineage has been under his control. He is naturally aware that Li Wushou is a disciple of the Zhenhai Grand Venerable, but the Grand Venerable is the Grand Venerable, and the disciple is the disciple.

How dare a junior at the Nascent Soul stage, relying on some talent, provoke a Deity Transformation cultivator?

They really don't know their own limitations!
With a cold snort, the Puppet Daoist, manipulating the patriarch of the Void lineage, said menacingly:

"The Suspended Mountain fears your status as a disciple of a Grand Master, but the Undying Mountain takes you far too seriously. Since you seek death, then so be it!"

Seeing that the Puppet Taoist was about to launch into another long-winded speech, Li Wushou impatiently interrupted him:
"Come quickly! Or should I come?"

The sound was very soft, yet it clearly traveled throughout the entire suspended mountain.

The moment he finished speaking, Li Wushou vanished from the spot, unable to wait for the Puppet Daoist to dawdle any longer.

So he decided to do it himself!
With a flash, the person was already in front of the Dharma Image in the next instant.

The Dharma image was so enormous that Li Wushou's figure seemed like a tiny sparrow compared to it.

With a focused mind, he unleashed his three-zhang-long domain, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to gather throughout his body.

At this moment, Li Wushou's figure seemed to be infinitely elevated, and the aura emanating from his body was like that of a giant dragon, not inferior in the slightest to the Dharma form of the founder of the Kongzi lineage.

With his body bent like a bow and his fists swung like the moon, Li Wushou suddenly let out a sharp shout in mid-air:
"Let me test the strength of your Nascent Soul Dharma Form!"

With a single punch, the void shattered, a punch several levels stronger than the one that had shattered Liu Qingmei's substitute porcelain body.

The Puppet Daoist was so angry he almost laughed when he saw Li Wushou suddenly launch an attack on the ancestral image of the Void Lineage that he was controlling.

Seeing that the punch, which gathered the power of heaven and earth, was already close at hand, Kui Daoren's mind stirred. A piece of crystal surface that the founder of the Kongzi lineage had fused to transform the dragon god's body quietly disappeared from its original spot and then stood in front of Li Wushou's fist.

The crystal surface was originally formless, but now, due to the transformation of the dragon's body, it has become a strange mirror.

The frame was made of twisted flesh and blood, with veins clearly visible. Dark, foul-smelling pus and blood slowly seeped out and dripped into the void, which sizzled as if it were somewhat susceptible to corrosion.

The mirror surface was a pool of flowing blood, within which various species of creatures struggled and floated, their distorted faces constantly impacting the mirror, as if trying to break free from it.

Those who were observing the battle quickly composed themselves, no longer daring to look at the enemy with their souls, as if their souls would be sucked into the abyss the next instant.

Li Wushou didn't care about this; he felt nothing about this alienation.

He even wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that after the crystal surface neutralization by the founder of the Kongzi lineage, the taste of the Dragon King's alien dragon body seemed to be better.
The most obvious example is inside the Three Immortals Pavilion, where Chen Gou'er's shouts of "stink" were much quieter.

The fist's energy swept through the void and struck the crystal surface directly.

With a muffled thud in the void, the crystal surface simultaneously rippled with the power of heaven and earth and the blood energy of the mutated dragon body, and most of the power of heaven and earth gathered on Li Wushou's fist was scattered.

The power of heaven and earth that a Nascent Soul cultivator can wield is still far too weak compared to that of a Deity Transformation cultivator.

Moreover, the other party also has the blessing of the Dragon God's flesh and blood.

Nevertheless, the residual power exploded on the crystal surface, causing countless creatures in the blood to wail incessantly.

This shriek reached their very souls, causing all the clan leaders and city gods to instinctively cover their ears and cut off their mental perception of the outside world.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, the Puppet Daoist snorted coldly. This disciple of the Great Venerable was indeed outstanding. His talent seemed to be no less than that of the Holy Maiden of the Porcelain Body Dao who was exceptionally gifted.

If the saintess hadn't become a nun halfway through her life, touching upon too many vested interests, the other party's situation would definitely be much better than it is now.

But this is not a reason for Li Wushou to provoke him.

With a thought, at the moment the fist struck the mirror, the blood flowing inside the mirror suddenly gushed out and poured towards Li Wushou.

These bloodstains contain the dragon god's transformative power, possessing a strong ability to transform flesh and blood.

Although Li Wushou's physical body was strong, it seemed to be no less powerful than that of the Dragon God.

However, even the Dragon God could hardly resist the mutation, and in the eyes of the Puppet Daoist, Li Wushou obviously could not resist it either!

To this end, the puppet Taoist poured blood directly onto Li Wushou's body and even used the void power of the founder of the Void lineage to directly fold space.

Therefore, the blood spurted out and immediately reached Li Wushou.

Li Wushou's bare upper body was instantly soaked with blood!
The wailing sounds in the blood stopped abruptly, then erupted into a wild frenzy, as the blood splattered violently and began to burrow into Li Wushou's body.

Upon seeing this, the Puppet Taoist sneered.

So what if you have exceptional talent?
Once one's flesh and blood are corrupted by the divine path, even the best foundation in the immortal path will rot away, and one will become just another ordinary person!

However, there's no need to lament about the future, because he never intended for Li Wushou to live!
But the next moment, the Puppet Daoist was slightly stunned.

He discovered that after the blood entered Li Wushou's body, it was as if a pebble had been thrown into a deep pool, without causing the slightest ripple.

How can this be?

Is the opponent's physical body stronger than the Dragon God's?

Even with the knowledge of the Puppet Daoist, he was somewhat astonished. Just who was this Great Venerable Zhenhai, that he could train such a disciple?

This great upheaval has surely brought forth many extraordinary figures!

With his mind in turmoil, the Puppet Daoist's murderous intent did not diminish but instead intensified!
Another crystal facet detached from the Dharma image and swooped down toward Li Wushou.

This crystal surface is different from the one that refined the Dragon God's flesh and blood and swallowed the floating clouds. It is empty inside, containing only the vast power of heaven and earth.

The crystal surface fell from the sky as if a piece of heaven and earth had fallen.

The void surrounding Li Wushou was sealed and suppressed!
Clearly, the Puppet Daoist intended to swallow Li Wushou into the crystal mask as well. But just as the crystal mask landed on Li Wushou's head, the Puppet Daoist only saw a flash of silver light before his eyes, and Li Wushou's figure disappeared from the spot once again.

This time, the Puppet Daoist was fully focused on using the power of the Divine Transformation Realm to lock onto Li Wushou, but he still failed to suppress him in the void.

The moment the silver light flashed, the opponent's body swiftly broke through the suppression of the power of heaven and earth, and in the next instant, his soul lost track of Li Wushou.

So fast?
What kind of immortal cultivation method is this?
It seems like the more pressure I exert, the faster the other person moves.

The Puppet Daoist's expression changed. The empty crystal face passed through the spot where Li Wushou had been standing, leaving nothing but a phantom image.

Immediately afterwards, the Puppet Taoist felt the Dharma Image tremble!
Looking around with his divine soul power, he realized that Li Wushou had somehow gotten behind Kong Wufaxiang.

At this moment, Li Wushou was shirtless, his muscles bulging, and he was wielding the power of heaven and earth, tearing at a piece of crystal surface on the Dharma image.

Li Wushou was preoccupied with Liu Qingmei's words; the puppeteer's manipulation technique was hidden within a crystal surface.

However, there are too many crystal faces like the Void Form, especially after the Floating Character Lineage Ancestor was swallowed, the crystal faces were almost completely filled.

Even with Li Wushou's mystical perspective, it was difficult to see what was hidden inside these crystal surfaces.

If Li Wushou were to search for the location where the Puppet Daoist was hiding, it would take who knows how long to find all those thousands of crystal faces.

By then, it's highly likely that the ancestor of the Floating Character lineage and the mutated dragon body of the Dragon God will have already been devoured and digested by the other party.

However, Li Wushou was not without help. The Floating Character Pulse Ancestor, who was constantly attacking the crystal surface within the empty body, was a good teammate who cooperated from the inside and outside.

The crystal surface that Li Wushou was tearing apart was filled with the floating clouds of the ancestor, and deep within these floating clouds was a five-colored radiance, which was the nascent soul of the ancestor of the Floating Character lineage.

Li Wushou needs to tear open the crystal surface to pass on the plan to the patriarch of the Fu Zi lineage.

The Floating Cloud Ancestor within the Crystal Surface noticed Li Wushou's movements and struggled even more violently.

He was extremely excited at that moment!
He was still in a state of extreme fear and regret. He had been careless and hadn't expected the other party to burn Kong Wu's soul directly, causing him to be swallowed into Kong Wu's body.

This carelessness not only ruined his own chance of survival, but also ruined the opportunity for the Suspended Mountain Sect to enter the world!
Fortunately, there was the High Priest!

He could feel the immense power emanating from the High Priest's physical body at that moment, and the crystal surface sealing him was cracking.

Just then, he heard a deep, hoarse roar. The person, suppressing their voice, shouted:
"Ha! Open!"

Grasping the edge of the crystal surface tightly, Li Wushou pulled hard, his physical strength enough to move mountains, tearing a crack in the crystal surface.

Upon seeing this, the founder of the Fu Zi lineage was overjoyed and seized the opportunity to ride the floating clouds out.

The floating clouds had just peeked out when they were directly suppressed by Li Wushou's three-inch Dharma Domain!
The patriarch of the Fuzi lineage was taken aback, thinking that Li Wushou had also been captured by the other party's mutation, after all, he had just seen Li Wushou covered in a large amount of mutated blood and flesh of the Dragon God.

Just then, Li Wushou transmitted his thoughts to the patriarch of the Floating Character Clan, instructing him:

"Master Kongwu is being controlled by the people of Immortal Mountain using puppetry techniques. The means of their manipulation are hidden within one of these myriad crystal faces. I will do my best to shake the mind of the Puppet Daoist later. Master, you are within the crystal face, could you please help keep an eye out for the Puppet Daoist's hiding place?"

Upon hearing this, the founder of the Fuzi lineage was startled, but he quickly responded to Li Wushou, agreeing to the matter.

Although he didn't understand where Li Wushou got the confidence to shake the mind of that puppet Daoist through the Dharma image of his junior brother Kongwu, Li Wushou didn't give him any choice at all.

Although the question was asked just now, it was only asked after he was pressed back into the crystal surface.

Moreover, the moment he finished asking the question, he saw that Li Wushou's hands seemed to have exhausted their strength, and as he lost his grip, the torn crystal surface struggled to grow back.

With his escape route blocked once again, the patriarch of the Fu Zi lineage had no choice but to cooperate with Li Wushou!

But the founder of the Fuzi lineage was only frustrated for a moment before he became energetic again.

He suddenly realized that Li Wushou's confidence in shaking the hidden puppet Taoist must not be unfounded.

The other party may not be able to do it, but he is a disciple of a great master. Maybe the great master left him some kind of protective means?
Thinking this, the patriarch of the Floating Lineage felt a surge of fervor. He guarded his mind, lurking within the void, and began to observe intently.

On the other side, the puppet Taoist was also startled to see Li Wushou tear open the crystal surface with brute force.

This immense force is no less than if human power had torn the heavens and the earth apart!
Just now, a crack appeared in the crystal surface, and the Puppet Daoist immediately noticed the unusual movement of the floating clouds within it.

The Puppet Daoist immediately tensed up. If he were to escape from Fuyun, it wouldn't be so easy to swallow him again.

While using the mutated dragon body of the Dragon God to erode the void could quickly create a candidate for a celestial god, as the mutation deepened, the means of controlling the puppet would have to be severed.

Otherwise, as the alienation of emptiness deepens, one will also be implicated and alienated.

His original intention was to take advantage of the opportune moment to sweep through the Suspended Mountain and suppress the situation.

Then, the incense from Huazhou was refined and returned to Mount Bulao in the name of the Heavenly God of Huazhou.

With such immortal energy returning to Huazhou, even if Kongwu is deeply mutated, it will be of no consequence. He will be nothing more than a pile of mutated, rotting flesh. Even if all thirty-six cities on both sides of the Hengyang River perish as a result, Mount Bulao will not find it unacceptable.

As long as the land exists, people will exist!

Human life is like rice in autumn, season after season, when has it ever ended?

Therefore, he had no time to deal with the patriarch of the Fu lineage, and he absolutely could not accept that the patriarch of the Fu lineage was released at this time.

Just as he was about to unleash his fury and burn some of the souls of the founders of the Void lineage again, he saw Li Wushou lose strength in his hands and release the crystal surface.

I breathed a sigh of relief!

Although the Puppet Daoist was unwilling to admit it, he was still somewhat frightened by the scene of Li Wushou tearing the crystal mask apart.

He abandoned his disdain, activated his Dharma form, and looked down at Li Wushou, who was standing not far away, and solemnly said:

"Since you want to see the power of the Nascent Soul Dharma Form, then I'll grant your wish!"

The words hummed, causing the void to tremble violently.

The ancestral image of the Kongzi lineage master slowly raised his right hand, palm down, and suddenly unleashed a force of absorption.

Li Wushou stood still, keenly sensing that the surrounding power of heaven and earth had been completely drained in an instant. Even the three-inch domain of heaven and earth that covered Li Wushou's body trembled slightly.

Li Wushou didn't move an inch, but he vaguely felt as if he had entered a strange new world.

Moreover, this world has always rejected Li Wushou.

Li Wushou could no longer freely draw upon the power of heaven and earth to strengthen his physical body.

It's not hard to imagine that if you were to fight the enemy in such a world, you would have difficulty getting supplies while the enemy's supplies would be endless, and you would be worn down to death!

At this moment, Li Wushou deeply felt the difference in power between the Nascent Soul stage and the Divine Transformation stage.

In terms of the domain of power alone, the domain of the Nascent Soul is actually an advancement of the domain of the Golden Core. The power levels of the two test the degree of their ability to call upon and utilize the power of heaven and earth.

However, the Nascent Soul stage was different. The opponent's domain had already reached the rudimentary form of creating a world, giving Li Wushou a sense of a world that was faintly self-contained. At this moment, Li Wushou felt that calling it a domain was obviously more appropriate.

However, the patriarch of the Kongzi lineage should not have been at a high level in the Nascent Soul stage, or perhaps he was unable to unleash his full power due to the manipulation of the puppet Daoist.

The other party's boundary was only in its rudimentary form.

But that was enough to cause Li Wushou a great deal of trouble.

The puppeteer manipulated the Dharma form, with one palm facing Li Wushou, while the other arm was clenched into a fist and repeatedly swung down at Li Wushou.

The raging power of heaven and earth transformed into a hammer, relentlessly pounding on Li Wushou's body.

"Bang bang bang!"

With each hammer blow, the puppet Taoist smashed with extraordinary pleasure!

Although Li Wushou's physical body was still holding on, the imagined scene of broken bones and torn flesh did not occur.

But the Puppet Daoist believed that this "nothingness" was just Li Wushou holding on to his last breath. He believed that as long as he could dissipate that breath, Li Wushou's physical body would be smashed into mincemeat in an instant!
Then, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Haha. Didn't you want to try out the incarnation form? How is it? What do you think of this form?"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Tell me, how about it? Hahaha!"

As Kong Wuxiang waved his hand, the entire suspended mountain trembled violently, and because it lost the support of the floating clouds, rocks began to fall from the sky.

The heads of the various households were filled with worry as they watched the High Priest being bound and beaten within the Dharma Realm.

Could it be that, following the two patriarchs, Fu and Kong, even the Grand Priest is about to be defeated?
Just then, Li Wushou, whose body was being pounded by Faxiang, began to creak.

She suddenly raised her head, her eyes slightly red, and murmured:
"Dharma image? I have that too!"
