I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 163: Dharmadhatu's Power
"You look unfamiliar, sir. It seems you are not from Jingye. Your martial arts level is indeed extraordinary, and you have some confidence in your arrogance. However, I advise you to leave quickly."

Facing Zhong Changdong, Wu Ming remained expressionless and spoke in a detached tone.

Zhong Changdong was taken aback upon hearing this, as if he had heard a joke, and couldn't help but sneer, "Hahahaha, your tone is indeed arrogant, which suits my taste. I just don't know if you have the corresponding strength. If you don't make a move, I'll have to take action!"

After all,

Zhong Changdong held his spear horizontally, his aura instantly rising, assuming a stance ready to strike.

But while he moved quickly, Wu Ming moved even faster. The instant Zhong Changdong made his move, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a beam of lightning shone in his pupils.

boom! ! !
Wu Ming's soul was drawn, and in an instant, a thunder talisman appeared. The thunder talisman condensed into a beam of diffused lightning, illuminating the entire mountain cave as if it were daytime. The erupting lightning roared directly toward Zhong Changdong.

Dealing with a top-tier master of the Four Bloods realm like Zhong Changdong, who has achieved perfect harmony between body and spirit, there's no need to hold back. What Wu Ming is unleashing right now is the power of the fifth Thunder Talisman he has cultivated in the Divine Firmament Upper Purity Talisman. He wants to see how martial arts masters will handle this move.

"Well done!"

Upon seeing the lightning, Zhong Changdong's face lit up with excitement. He showed no fear and even stepped forward. With a shout, he swung and spun his spear forward.

A perfect blend of strength and gentleness erupted, and his spear flew out of his hand, spinning wildly in mid-air. At the same time, a surge of pure yang blood energy was activated and gathered on the spear.

Crackling! !
Wu Ming's lightning magic roared forward, striking the spinning spear, but was blocked and torn apart by the spear, forming patches of spreading lightning. Finally, Zhong Changdong waved his sleeve, causing the spear to pierce into the rock strata beside him with a bang, while also drawing a large patch of lightning directly into the interior of the rock strata, blasting open a section of rock.

This was the first time Wu Ming's Divine Firmament Thunder Technique had been blocked head-on. However, he was not surprised. After all, for a martial artist whose spirit and body were one, the soul was integrated into the blood and will, which made the ethereal blood and will possess pressure and lethality. The extremely refined pure yang blood and will suddenly burst forth, naturally possessing the power to resist Dao techniques.

Of course, Zhong Changdong was still a mortal after all, and he didn't get it easy to take this hit. When he gripped the gun handle again with his right hand, his fingers trembled slightly, which was due to the power of the thunder. However, most of the thunder's power was drawn away by the spear, and a small portion of the thunder's power was blocked by the pure yang blood energy, leaving only a little that could not cause any real damage.

"Excellent Taoist magic!"

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone practice thunder magic!"

"I've let you make the first move; now I'm going to get serious!"

The contempt in Zhong Changdong's eyes faded considerably. He gave a praise, then suddenly reached out with his right hand to grasp the gun handle, and burst out of the cave, heading straight for Wu Ming's main body.

Wu Ming's lightning technique is indeed extraordinary. If he stands still and lets Wu Ming's lightning technique bombard him, even if he can resist it, his blood and energy will be depleted quickly. In the end, he will definitely not be able to outlast Wu Ming. After all, a martial arts master cannot exhaust the energy of a Taoist master from a distance. Only by seizing the opportunity to quickly get close can he threaten the Taoist master.

"Beware!"

Han Cheng's pupils contracted as he saw Zhong Changdong heading straight for Wu Ming, and he called out a warning.

Yan Chuyu and Ling Zhonghan's expressions changed, and they instinctively wanted to step forward to help, but Qiu Feiying and the others took a step forward and blocked Yan Chuyu and the others' way, preventing them from passing.

On the field,

Wu Ming stood outside the cave, watching Zhong Changdong rushing straight in from within. He felt that the other man had a magnificent aura, like a ferocious lion or tiger. Even before he got close, there was already a terrifying pressure that made it hard to breathe.

"A master of four bloodlines who has achieved perfect harmony of body and spirit is truly extraordinary."

Facing a powerful figure like Zhong Changdong, Wu Ming felt no fear. His eyes were calm, and he suddenly clasped his hands together in front of him. In an instant, his primordial spirit left his body, and a surging and mighty primordial spirit power spread in all directions.

Hurrah! !

Originally, the power of the Earthly Fiends was extremely abundant in this 500-foot-deep underground. At this moment, Wu Ming's primordial spirit activated his Dharma form and controlled the Earthly Fiend Primordial Embryo, and in an instant, a magnificent and vast power of the Earthly Fiends was drawn in.

In a mere instant, a monstrous earthly demonic form with a blue face, fangs, and a burly physique suddenly appeared. This form had six arms and a staggering twelve feet in size, resembling a giant god or demon, standing there on the spot.

This Earthly Fiend Yuan Magic Form, in its first stage, still needs to absorb soil and gravel from the outside world as a material support to enhance its power. However, now that it has reached the second stage, it no longer needs to absorb soil and gravel. The entire form manifests by relying on pure Earthly Fiend power, radiating a deep yellow glow.

"Dharma image!"

Zhong Changdong was not surprised at all when he saw Wu Ming reveal his Dharma form. He had risen to prominence in Jingyu City and had clashed with Daoist masters more than once. Before he achieved the unity of spirit and body, he always found it very troublesome to encounter Daoist masters and often suffered setbacks. Now that he had finally achieved the unity of spirit and body, he was full of vigor and had no fear. He only wanted to unleash his full potential, use martial arts to break all laws, and defeat all Daoist masters with his spear.

Faced with Wu Ming's Earthly Fiend Yuan Magic Form, he only sneered and suddenly swung out his spear.

"The Eight Forms of the Great Wilderness!"

"Break it for me!"

boom!
Zhong Changdong's spear strike was astonishing. In his state of perfect harmony between body and spirit, his body was brimming with blood energy, as powerful as a dragon. In Wu Ming's eyes, the rising blood energy was like the sun, and he seemed to have transformed into a giant. He wielded his spear with overwhelming force, displaying a power that could split mountains and cleave the earth.

Wu Ming's Earthly Fiend Yuan Magic Form, with a thick arm clenched into a fist, slammed towards Zhong Changdong, while Zhong Changdong fiercely countered with his spear. The spear and the fist collided abruptly in mid-air.

Boom! !
It was accompanied by a violent tremor and a deafening roar.

Suddenly, the massive arms and fists of the Yuan Magic Avatar exploded, and Zhong Changdong was also subjected to a tremendous force, flying backward and staggering back four or five steps before finally stopping.

This collision took Zhong Changdong quite unexpectedly. He thought that with the unity of spirit and body, the pure yang blood energy would be able to break through Wu Ming's dharma form in an instant, but he did not expect that he would not gain much advantage in a head-on collision.

hum.

But then, Wu Ming's six-armed Dharma form, with its flowing light, instantly restored the shattered arm that had been destroyed.

Zhong Changdong snorted coldly, suppressing his surprise. He suddenly raised his spear and leaped out. With his spirit and body in perfect harmony, his speed and strength were far beyond those of ordinary four-blood martial artists. His movements were as fast as lightning.

Although Wu Ming could clearly perceive Zhong Changdong's movements with his soul sense, the Earthly Fiend Yuan Magic Form itself was rather clumsy and could not keep up with the speed of his consciousness. His six arms could only swing and grab Zhong Changdong.

Swish!
Zhong Changdong burst out of the cave and into the open area. He lightly touched a protruding rock with his toes, then charged at Wu Ming again, gun in hand. This time, he was wiser. He didn't confront Wu Ming's Earthly Fiend Yuan Magic Form head-on, but instead relied on his agile movements, leaping and bounding. Although each arm of the Earthly Fiend Yuan Magic Form possessed immense power, its slow movements prevented it from grabbing Zhong Changdong.

After more than ten moves of this entanglement...

Zhong Changdong finally keenly spotted the flaw in the Earthly Fiend Yuanfa Avatar's movements. With a roar, he wielded his spear and forcefully charged in from the center, completely disregarding the six arms of the Yuanfa Avatar!

puff.

Ignoring the six arms attacking from all directions, Zhong Changdong charged straight at the Yuanfa Avatar. His blood energy surged, consuming at least one-fifth of his own, which he then concentrated on his spear. This made the spearhead dazzling, as if it had been tempered and forged in a raging fire. With a soft thud, it pierced straight into the Yuanfa Avatar's chest!

Zhong Changdong knew very well that he didn't need to pay any attention to the Yuanfa Dharma Avatar's attacks. As long as he could find an opening and unleash a move with pure Yang blood energy to pierce through the Yuanfa Dharma Avatar's body, he could completely destroy the entire Dharma Avatar and cause it to disintegrate.

As long as the Dharma form is destroyed with pure Yang blood energy, Wu Ming's soul will also be injured, and he will be unable to summon the Dharma form again for a short period of time, at which point he will be at Wu Ming's mercy.

Click, click,

Just as Zhong Changdong had predicted, he concentrated nearly one-fifth of his blood energy and unleashed a powerful spear thrust into the chest of the Yuanfa Avatar. The spearhead did indeed show signs of cracking at the point of penetration, which then spread like a spider web.

To Zhong Changdong's surprise, the crack continued to spread, and just as it was about to cover the entire chest of the Dharma Image, a cold decree came from inside the Dharma Image from Wu Ming.

"Certainly!"

With that sound, the collapsing primordial magic image suddenly stopped disintegrating, and the ever-spreading cracks also came to an abrupt halt. Not only did it stop collapsing, but it also began to heal itself at an even faster speed!

Zhong Changdong was immediately shocked.

"impossible!"

He looked somewhat incredulous.

He had clashed with other Daoist masters before. At that time, he had not yet achieved the unity of spirit and body, so his move of condensing blood energy could not break through the Dharma form of the Daoist masters. But now he had already achieved the unity of spirit and body, and the destructive power of his moves against Daoist techniques had increased many times over. Even without deliberately mobilizing his blood energy, he was confident that he could defeat Wu Ming's Dharma form. Not to mention that he valued Wu Ming and even deliberately condensed his blood energy, hoping to break Wu Ming's Dharma form in one blow and see Wu Ming's shocked expression.

Instead of seeing Wu Ming's shocked expression, he himself was utterly shocked and somewhat incredulous.

Boom! !
The next moment, Wu Ming's counterattack followed.

The Earthly Fiend Primordial Dharma Image, which was on the verge of collapse, had stopped swinging its six arms. But now that it had stabilized again and was gathering its energy once more, the six arms that had been swinging were naturally swung again, directly striking Zhong Changdong.

Zhong Changdong was shocked and paled. He suddenly exerted all his strength in his hands, trying to pull out his spear to block the attack of the Dharma Image. However, his effort to pull out the spear did not work as expected. Instead, it was only pulled out less than an inch!
Despite his best efforts, his gun was slowly being pulled out, but it seemed to be stuck in the mud. At that moment, the six arms of the Earthly Fiend Dharma Image were already behind him, within arm's reach!

"not good!"

Zhong Changdong was no ordinary person. Although he was in the midst of a sudden change, he still reacted instinctively. He immediately abandoned his spear, let go of his hands, and suddenly flipped over, trying to escape from the gap between the six arms of the Earthly Fiend Dharma Image.

However, if he had abandoned his spear earlier, he could have escaped unscathed. Now, it was too late. Although he was as light as a swallow and flew out through the gap, just as he was about to escape danger, Wu Ming's magical avatar grazed his back. A tremendous force erupted, causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood with a "whoosh".

He was originally going to use the momentum to leap to the other side of the cliff, but he lost his strength in mid-air and fell diagonally into the dark abyss below.

"Junior Brother Zhong!"

Qiu Feiying and the others, who witnessed this scene from the cave behind, were all greatly shocked.

For a moment, they couldn't care less about Yan Chuyu and the others, nor about the Millennium Stone Heart Milk. They all leaped out, and when they saw Zhong Changdong falling like a kite, and Wu Ming's Earthly Fiend Yuan Magic Image standing to one side like a true god or demon, they all showed expressions of disbelief.

Zhong Changdong actually lost?!

how can that be!

Zhong Changdong has already achieved unity of spirit and body, ranking among the top four bloodline experts. Even if he cannot defeat a Daoist expert, he should not be defeated so quickly, even though they have only exchanged a few dozen moves!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Shocked, Qiu Feiying and the others had no time to spare and jumped down to chase after the falling Zhong Changdong.

Inside the cave, Han Cheng, Yan Chuyu, and the others were all shocked to see Wu Ming and Zhong Changdong exchange blows briefly without Wu Ming gaining the upper hand, and Wu Ming even using some unknown method to suddenly reverse the situation and defeat Zhong Changdong on the spot.

"Wu Ming, you..."

Yan Chuyu stared at the Earthly Fiend Dharma Image, which resembled a god or demon, her eyes filled with disbelief. She knew that Wu Ming was exceptionally talented and had extraordinary abilities, far surpassing ordinary Daoist masters, but how long had Wu Ming cultivated to the fourth level?!
Zhong Changdong was a top-tier martial arts master who had achieved the unity of spirit and body, possessing terrifying strength. Killing her would probably only take a moment. Yet, this incredibly powerful martial arts master was actually defeated by Wu Ming, who wielded the power of his Dharma Aspect!
Swish.

Under the astonished gaze of Han Cheng and the others, silently, the six-armed primordial magic image quickly dimmed and dissipated, and Wu Ming's figure reappeared in the center of the image. He was holding Zhong Changdong's spear in his hand and looking down into the depths of the abyss below.

At this moment, Wu Ming was not at ease. His gaze was quite solemn because a top-level martial arts master who had achieved the unity of spirit and body was indeed powerful. Relying solely on the second level of the Earthly Fiend Yuan Magic Avatar, he was no match for the master and would not even last more than a few dozen rounds before being defeated.

The reason he was able to win was that at the most crucial moment, he used the "Fighting Technique," which greatly enhanced his control and manipulation, stopping the collapse of the Yuan Magic Image. In addition, Zhong Changdong exposed a huge flaw in order to use this move, which allowed the outcome to be decided in an instant.

Otherwise, even if he manipulated the Yuan Magic Form with the Fighting Technique, as long as Zhong Changdong fought steadily, he might not be able to defeat him. After all, in terms of speed, Zhong Changdong's movements were much more agile, allowing him to advance and retreat at will.

of course,

Wu Ming had many other methods he hadn't used yet, including splitting his soul to control the killing weapon, and his most trump card, forcibly fusing with the Heavenly Gang Thunder Yuan Dharma Image. No matter which one he used, Zhong Changdong would have a hard time resisting.

This battle was a valuable experience for Wu Ming, giving him a clearer understanding of his own abilities.
