This martial saint is too cautious.

Chapter 348 Martial Soul (Please continue reading)

Eighty percent of the power of the liquefied Dharma phase!

At this moment, the power of the Dharma Image within Lin Yan's Divine Palace can truly be described as surging like a tide.

Under the influence of the vortex, wave after wave of Dharma power washed over the few remaining unliquefied Dharma power in the edge area of ​​the Divine Palace.

Also being washed away were the three Dharma images within the vortex.

The Sword Melody and the Undying Mountain, these two Dharma images became even more solid under the influence of the Dharma power.

The other Dharma image, that humanoid phantom, stood in the vortex, like a person's shadow, indistinct.

However, as these liquefied dharma powers were drawn into the vortex, repeatedly washing over the human figure, the shadow gradually became clearer.

Head, torso, limbs —

It began to be filled with golden Dharma power.

If the original human figure was just an empty outline, then now it is like an empty human model, into which the power of the Dharma form is being continuously poured.

Each time the vortex rotates and the power of the Dharma Image washes over it, a large amount of Dharma Image power surges into the phantom.

These dharma powers began to fill the interior of the phantom, and the entire humanoid phantom radiated pure golden light.

Fifteen breaths later!

The humanoid Dharma image was fully formed, and it had already turned into a semi-golden state, hovering above Lin Yan's head.

Lin Yan slowly stood up, opened his eyes, and looked at the top of his head.

The next moment, with a thought, the Stone Waist Thunder Spine was activated.

As the Stone Waist Thunder Spine activated, Lin Yan's figure suddenly rose higher, and the next moment the golden Dharma image slowly descended, perfectly merging with Lin Yan.

"A true form of martial spirit!"

Feeling the perfect fusion between himself and this Dharma image, Lin Yan's eyes lit up.

It's impossible not to be a bit chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)!

"It can also be called the Gold Saint Cloth!"

call out!

Lin Yan flashed and used the Taiyi Sword Escape. This time, his figure not only transformed into a rainbow of light, but also a golden rainbow of light, leaving a brilliant golden trace in the air wherever he passed.

shhhhhh!

After using his sword to escape several times, Lin Yan finally stopped, his eyes shining brightly.

Without using the Shadow Avatar technique, his speed was more than twice as fast as before, and the distance he covered was also doubled.

After using the Shadow Manifestation technique, the speed and single-shot distance doubled once again.

"But the only problem is that if I want to use this human-shaped Dharma form, I need to use the Stone Waist Thunder Spine. Only after using the Stone Waist Thunder Spine can I perfectly match this Dharma form."

Lin Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, but overall, the problem wasn't too serious.

When one combines oneself with the Dharma, outsiders may not be able to perceive that one's height is increased by relying on one's physical constitution; they will only think that one's physical size is increased by relying on the Dharma.

"The risk of exposure is not high, but to be on the safe side, it is best to use it sparingly in public and treat this human form technique as your trump card."

Lin Yan had already revealed the Sword Symphony Dharma Form before, and he didn't intend to hide it. However, the Undying Mountain Dharma Form couldn't bring him any improvement in combat power, so it was necessary to keep the humanoid Dharma Form as a trump card.

"With my current strength, I can fight against a sixth-level Void Realm cultivator, but that Chen Jiang is clearly not an ordinary sixth-level Void Realm cultivator. He can use the thunder energy of this Thunder Swamp Secret Realm, so he is probably already close to the Realm of Truth."

Without absolute certainty, given Lin Yan's cautious nature, he would not normally make a move.

However, in the current situation, the principle is in Chen Jiang's hands. If Chen Jiang is allowed to kill Han Che and awaken the Thunder Dragon, only death awaits him.

The edge of the second layer has become a complete inferno of thunder.

The thunderclouds pressed down lower than those in other areas, enveloping this region like a giant lightning field.

Chen stood in mid-air, surrounded by several thick bolts of lightning, which made him look like the king of thunder.

The ground in the area was littered with broken blades and tattered armor, but there were no corpses.

The dead have all been turned to ashes by the thunder.

Those who are still alive are all covered in wounds, without exception.

Han Che was kneeling ten feet in front of Chen Jiang. His protective armor was completely shattered, and he was covered in blood. His right arm hung limply, unable to be raised. His chest was heaving violently, and he was spitting out blood continuously. However, his eyes were still fixed on Chen Jiang, filled with resentment and anger.

"Don't you feel resentful that a dignified Dharma Aspect Prodigy is being suppressed by an old man like me with no future?"

Chen Jiang looked at Han Che and could understand why Han Che was unwilling to accept it.

If someone like him were outside the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm, even if they were both at the sixth level of the Void Phase Realm, Han Che wouldn't even glance at him.

These Dharma Aspect Prodigies only have eyes for Dharma Aspects who are also prodigies.

"You—you can't escape even if you kill me, and the changes in the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm this time must have been discovered by the powerful outsiders, who have already laid a trap."

Han Che tried to stand up by supporting himself on his knees, but his body wouldn't obey him, and he only managed to stand halfway before falling back down.

Chen Jiang's thunderous power pressed down on him from beginning to end.

"You don't need to worry about this. Once the Thunder Dragon breaks free of its seal, those powerful figures will be too busy dealing with it to care about me."

Hearing Han Che's words, Chen Jiang's eyes remained unmoved. Since he dared to take action and risk offending all the major forces in the martial arts world, he had already thought of a way out.

"As for you, you will become the sacrifice for the Thunder Dragon's breaking of its seal!"

Chen Jianglao's face showed excitement. The moment he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and the lightning spear in his hand disappeared. The next moment, thunderclouds rolled above Han Che's head, and an extremely dazzling bolt of lightning crashed down.

The bolt of lightning cleaved Han Che in two.

Rumble!

When the lightning disappeared, everyone could see clearly that it was the lightning spear that Chen Jiang had been holding.

Han Che is dead.

A sixth-level Void Realm cultivator perished right before their eyes.

The remaining Void Realm warriors at the scene all wore expressions of despair, even though they knew that a sixth-level Void Realm expert had already perished.

But that was just hearsay; right now, they were watching Han Che being killed right before their eyes.

"It's over. Even Han Che is dead. We have no chance."

A middle-aged man with a missing leg uttered words of despair.

Even when they all joined forces, they were no match for Chen Jiang. They couldn't even inflict a minor injury on him; instead, they themselves were all seriously injured.

Previously, Han Che was involved with Chen Jiang, but now that Han Che is dead, it's their turn next.

"Junior Brother Pei, run away in a bit, run as far as you can. As for whether you will survive, leave it to fate."

Zhao Qing turned to look at Pei Wujiu. Knowing Chen Jiang's temperament, he would definitely not let them go.

All he could do was create a last glimmer of hope for his junior brother Pei to escape.

"Lin Yan hasn't shown up yet, could he be hiding?" Cui Moting asked, clutching his injured arm, his eyes filled with doubt.

"Junior Brother Lin isn't hiding."

"Junior Brother Pei, there's no need to speak up for Lin Yan at a time like this. Could it be that he's gone to find a way to break the deadlock?"

Cui Moting was dissatisfied with Pei Wujiu's words: "Since Chen Jiang dared to come out, it means he is not afraid of anyone entering the third level. Lin Yan went to the third level alone. I don't think he has any way to break the deadlock."

"Junior Brother Cui!"

Zhao Qing interrupted Cui Moting, saying that there was no point in saying anything more now.

On the Sword Sect's side, Zhou Chen's longsword was covered in cracks, and Kuang Ye's body was half charred black by lightning.

"Junior Brother Kuang, what kind of person do you think I am?"

Zhou Chen looked at Kuang Ye. Kuang Ye didn't expect that even at this point, his senior brother Zhou would still ask him these questions. After thinking for a moment, he said, "In my eyes, senior brother is an unconventional person."

"I'm afraid it's not just you, Junior Brother Kuang, who thinks this way; I imagine the other junior brothers see me the same way."

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. He had to be unconventional because, in addition to being a disciple of the Blade Sect, he was also a prince of the Sword Ruins. When the Ruins Master discovered his talent in swordsmanship, he sent him to the Blade Sect.

Even after he entered the Dharma Aspect Realm and left the Blade Sect, he spent most of his time carrying out tasks assigned by the Ruins Master.

Looking back on these years, his happiest days were those in the Sword Sect, where he could focus on pure cultivation and improving his strength without having to think too much or engage in any deceit or treachery.

"Junior Brother Kuang, actually, I have another identity."

Zhou Chen suddenly patted Kuang Ye on the shoulder. Since he was going to die anyway, there was no need for him to hide anything. He would just shock his junior brother Kuang one last time before he died and satisfy his own perverse sense of humor.

"Identity? Senior Brother Zhou, do you have other identities?"

"Um, senior brother, I'm actually—"

"I originally intended to let you live a little longer, but now there's no need."

Chen Jiang's voice rang out, abruptly interrupting Zhou Chen's words.

Zhou Chen and Kuang Ye looked at Chen Jiang, as did the others.

Chen Jiang's thunder spear disappeared once again, and the next moment the thunderclouds above everyone's heads lit up simultaneously, and the overwhelming lightning gathered into a curtain of thunder, enveloping everyone in it.

Everyone looked around as the thunderous curtain drew ever closer, their faces deepening with despair.

Clearly, Chen Jiang was about to unleash a thunderbolt to kill them.

"None of my Taiyi Sword Sect disciples die kneeling! Fellow disciples, rise!"

Zhao Qing roared, and Wang Mu and the others beside him slowly stood up, their sword energy increasing wildly.

"Junior Brother Kuang, do you know why I hate swordsmen?"

Looking at Zhao Qing and the others' actions, Zhou Chen suddenly asked Kuang Ye a question.

Kuang Ye was taken aback. "Senior brother, when did you tell me you hated swordsmen?"

If you dislike swordsmen, why did you let Lin Yan enter the Thunder Transformation Pool in the first place?

Zhou Chen didn't wait for Kuang Ye's reply and continued, "I just can't stand the way swordsmen behave. They're clearly courting death, but they insist on putting on a high-and-mighty act."

Kuang Ye:

Perhaps influenced by Zhao Qing and the others, the other surviving Void Realm warriors also silently got up. Since they were destined to die, they should at least die in a less pathetic way.

"A bunch of overconfident ants. Even without the help of the Thunder Dragon, I could still kill you all."

Seeing Zhao Qing and the others' rising momentum, Chen Jianglao's face showed disdain. With his original sixth-level Void Realm strength, he was enough to crush everyone, not to mention that he could now use a small part of the Thunder Dragon's power.

"You're over eighty years old, what are you so arrogant about!"

Zhou Chen roared and raised his long sword.

Even if he were to die, as the Prince of Jianxu, he could not allow Zhao Qing and the others to steal the limelight.

It's just about dying, isn't it? Anyone can die a heroic death.

With the last of his Dharma power flowing into the blade, Zhou Chen was about to swing it when a "crack" sound came from the blade, and it shattered instantly.

Zhou Chen:

Kuang Ye:

Seeing this scene, many people's lips twitched, which somewhat diluted the sense of tragedy in their hearts.

"Senior brother, would you like to use my sword?"

Kuang Ye handed over the long sword in his hand. Zhou Chen glanced at him, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

This kind of behavior—suicide and still looking cool—is indeed only suitable for swordsmen.

"Zhao Qing of the Taiyi Sword Sect, please enlighten me!"

Zhao Qing let out a long roar, raised his long sword, and sword energy filled the air.

"Cui Tingmo of the Taiyi Sword Sect, please enlighten me!"

"Wang Mu of the Taiyi Sword Sect, please enlighten me!"

Perhaps inspired by Zhao Qing and the others, the others also announced their sects, and then, using all the remaining power of their divine palaces, condensed it into their spiritual weapons: "Xu Zhihong of the Azure Heaven Sect, please enlighten me!"

"Li Xuance, Master of the Hundred Battles Spear, please enlighten me!"

"Xueshanyuan Jijiu, please enlighten me!"

Seeing Zhao Qing and the others' actions, Chen Jiang's right hand condensed, and a lightning ball slowly appeared in his hand. The moment the lightning ball appeared, lightning power continuously poured into it from the thundercloud, and the entire lightning ball reached a size of ten zhang in an instant.

A twisted excitement flickered in Chen Jiang's eyes. So many illusory warriors, and more than 80% of them would surpass him in the future.

But now, all these disciples from major sects will be killed by him.

In the martial arts world, talent and background are not enough; ultimately, strength is what matters.

"I am now invincible below the Realm of Reality. The Realm of Reality cannot enter the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm. Within this secret realm, I am invincible. No matter how much you struggle, it is all in vain."

"Invincible? That's not necessarily true!"

However, just as Chen Jiang finished speaking, another voice rang out.

Upon hearing this sound, everyone's gaze instantly turned to the back.

Behind everyone, a sword light suddenly appeared within the lightning barrier, and then everyone saw the lightning barrier being torn open, and a figure slowly walked in.

"Junior Brother Lin!"

Pei Wujiu saw the figure clearly, his eyes gleaming: "I told you that Junior Brother Lin definitely has a way to break this deadlock."

"Lin Yan, the Dharma Aspect prodigy of the Taiyi Sword Sect, hasn't he only entered the Dharma Aspect realm a few months ago? How could he break through this lightning barrier?"

The other illusory martial artists also recognized Lin Yan, but because they recognized him, their faces showed more confusion than shock.

Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Lin Yan slowly walk in. He was right; Lin Yan had indeed gone to find a way to break the deadlock.

"Junior Brother Kuang, do you remember what I told you before?"

"Senior brother, what did you say?"

"Hmm, they didn't say anything."
