Secret Buyer-Chapter 179 - 142: Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate Dharma Aspect!
Chen Qiusheng slowly spread his hands.
A maid stepped forward and gently helped him put on his coat. In front of him, a disciple kowtowed.
"Do you know why I didn’t attend the night banquet at the Governance Building tonight as the master?"
The old man adjusted his dark black collar, exuding a unique dignity.
Wang Tianlong and Lu Zheng simultaneously shook their heads.
The old man calmly said:
"For this night banquet, seven-tenths of the guests from all over were invited by Hong Tianbao, for his disciple reception banquet tomorrow."
Wang Tianlong kowtowed, and did not raise his head, only speaking seriously:
"Master, is this undead old thing trying to build momentum for his disciple? Specifically who? That Lin Dongxi?"
The old man turned around, facing away from the two disciples, slightly tilting his head. The half-open window allowed him to see the crescent moon overhead.
He calmly said:
"He never requested the marvelous medicine for refining five viscera from your grandmaster, so no matter who it is, their cultivation does not exceed the level of Twelve Refinements."
"Even so, your third master uncle did not hesitate to use various past connections to create such momentum..."
"It seems he is convinced that his disciple’s talent far surpasses yours."
Wang Tianlong, still kneeling, spoke in a low voice:
"Disciple will arrange for someone to attack and kill this person."
"Attack and kill?"
Chen Qiusheng turned his head, staring at his eldest disciple, stepped forward, and lightly put his foot on his head.
"After the apprenticeship and reception banquet, he has gained momentum. How do you still plan to kill him?"
Wang Tianlong trembled slightly:
"Disciple spoke recklessly."
Chen Qiusheng sighed and pressed his eldest disciple into the brick floor with his foot. The latter groaned, blood flowing out from his seven orifices.
The old man said calmly:
"Throughout the world, the aspirations of all the talents are to press forward, but hence eight or nine out of ten die prematurely on the way. A small part who proceed step by step lose their sharpness, and their potential is diminished."
Lu Zheng quietly glanced at the crushed elder brother, dared not speak.
Chen Qiusheng continued:
"Tomorrow, you shall attend your third master uncle’s disciple reception banquet, to see just how his disciple is—whether pressing forward or proceeding cautiously?"
Wang Tianlong’s voice emerged from the burial under bricks:
"If proceeding cautiously?"
"No need to deal with it."
"If pressing forward?"
The old man withdrew his foot, calmly saying:
"Then spar as fellow disciples and shatter his pressing forward."
He paused, showing an interest:
"I’m more curious, what will your second master uncle do?"
Wang Tianlong’s head buried in the soil, blood soaked red the shattered bricks, he mumbled:
"Yes, master."
......
Outside Chongyang, within the Great Wilderness.
A thousand miles of land suddenly tore apart, dust shot skyward, veiling every corner.
Nothing was clear.
Over thirty Martial Arts Masters were tense, guarding each other, watching the pervasive dust vigilantly,
The old man’s pupils shrank like needle points, feeling a very bad premonition, such a level of force...
Pure strength, already in the realm of a grandmaster!
What on earth is up with this little fellow??
The old man pressed his lips, looking around, the five viscera resonated, he opened his mouth and exhaled!!
Blazing white light tore a huge gap in the thick dust, the white light swept across the ground,
Evaporating swathes of land upon passage!
A top-tier Martial Arts Master with three major locks opened on all five viscera.
The blazing white light spat from his mouth is from someone who once evaporated a building with a single spit, ten-plus times the force!
But.
Did not hit.
The lingering dust suddenly began to vibrate with a strange rhythm, coinciding with each breath,
Dust trembled to produce special patterns, one after another...
A heartbeat?
The old man’s scalp tingled, hearing a drumming sound, as if like a primordial beast, each heartbeat causing the dust to vibrate once,
Including the cracked and broken ground, which vibrated once with it!
Amidst numerous shocked gazes, the dust suddenly began collapsing towards a certain direction,
That eighteen-foot tall giant revealed itself.
Silence, emptiness, extinction.
Zhang Fusheng sighed lightly, facing the Bridge of Helplessness, merging with the Ancient Tomb Form, he faced his most pure, fundamental fear within.
He was afraid.
It was the void, decay, after dust returns to dust, no trace left in the human world.
"It turns out..."
"What I’ve been seeking is true immortality."
The giant murmured, its voice echoing across the shattered earth, tangible essence and blood rotating, colliding behind him...
’Buzz!!’
The essence and blood twisted into a blazing sun!!
The spiritual radiance pierced through the thick dust, rolling the dust to scatter in all directions.
Four million two hundred thousand pounds of force, Twelve Layers of True Intent Power,
The blazing sun of essence and blood behind him, as thundering clouds above him, and the golden Buddha’s radiance flowing on his skin!
Second form, completely liberated!
"Hunt him down!"
The old man roared, once again spewing blazing white light, like a galaxy pouring down, towards the eighteen-foot person!
Zhang Fusheng’s figure flickered and disappeared, the place he stood vaporizing a massive pit several tens of meters wide and deep!!
"Is this what someone near to a grandmaster is capable of?"
The giant’s voice rang in the celestial vault, that fear, trembling, panic, excitement,
All vanished without a trace!
He knew what he feared, he knew what he arduously sought,
He found his mind and body in harmonious integration, forming a fearless heart of the Great Path!!
"Thank you, Bridge of Helplessness..."
The giant descended from the sky.
Stele-breaking!
Both palms clasped, resembling a celestial stele, striking towards the elder standing on the cracked ground!
The latter stomped down, his frail body erupted with unimaginable force, a smoke of essence and blood soared two hundred meters high, intertwining to form his half-physical appearance!
"Just exerting brute force..."
"Ultimately, still, not! Pure! Breed!"
The two-hundred-meter essence and blood appearance roared along with the old man, it was the product of his spiritual will integrated with essence and blood, already surpassing the power of Martial Arts Masters!
The half-physical appearance lifted its palms, the ground cracked as large and small stones ascended,
Accompanied by the essence and blood appearance propping the sky, jointly smashing towards the descending eighteen-foot giant!
Zhang Fusheng, eighteen feet high, seemed like a small ant before the two hundred meters high essence and blood appearance.
’Boom!!’
The large hand collided with the tiny giant, visible shockwaves spread in all directions,
Under terrifying high pressure, the air showed visible shattered wrinkles!!
’Wow!!’
The golden-bodied giant coughed up brilliant blood, neither frightened nor fearful, instead cheerful, with sharp eyes:
"What kind of technique is this??"
Zhang Fusheng leaned back, landing on the distant ground, staring intently at the shocking scene ahead,
The frail old man stood upon the earth, above him was a half-physical appearance the same as him, two hundred meters high.
It’s just like the Taotie’s Appearance that Niu Dali unleashed back then!
But the two are completely different. Niu Dali relied on his Taotie bloodline, while this elder...?
"This is, the power of a Grandmaster."
In the distance, the elder and his hundred-meter apparition spoke simultaneously, as a massive surge of sound rolled forth. He and it gazed at Zhang Fusheng:
"Your strength has truly touched the level of a Grandmaster."
"But still, brute force is ultimately unrefined."
The apparition of over two hundred meters began to move, suddenly becoming somewhat obscure and fading, but in its place, the opponent’s fist became incredibly distinct,
clearly formed from Qi and blood, yet the delicate patterns on the fist were vividly clear, almost as if real!
The brilliant fist mark struck fiercely!
Zhang Fusheng smelled the scent of death, but he neither dodged nor avoided,
as if he wanted to face the threat of death head-on,
as if he wanted to confront the extreme emptiness and fear induced by the Bridge of Helplessness!
Twelve Layers of True Intent Great Power.
Momentary unity!
"Let me see, your limits!"
Zhang Fusheng roared, smashing the stele! Great tide! Black Tiger! Yin Snake! Spring Thunder!
A fist punched towards the heavens, bringing with it layer upon layer of true intent visions, entangled and unified as one!
The brilliant fist mark collided with the Twelve Layers of True Intent fist.
No roar.
No deafening explosion.
No shattering of heaven and earth.
Round ripples spread and oscillated from the point of fist contact towards the surroundings.
The ground, upon touching the ripple, saw rocks and clumps of earth disintegrate into tiny particles invisible to the naked eye, then squeezed towards distant places, silently dispersing.
This scene when viewed, seemed like...
The earth silently annihilating.
The elder’s brilliant fist mark shattered into fragments, and the Twelve Layers of True Intent briefly disintegrated,
Zhang Fusheng fared no better, as his right hand raised for combat disappeared, leaving his body covered in cracks like a fragile porcelain!
No.
He was truly breaking apart.
Chunks of brilliant golden skin and flesh peeled away, causing martial arts masters to exclaim:
"Did he win?"
Zhang Fusheng glanced at them, then withdrew his gaze, staring at the elder and the two hundred-meter tall Qi and blood apparition.
He exclaimed:
"So, it’s momentum."
"It’s the momentum after the integration of Intention and Qi, but the difference is, you mixed in the Divine Realm, creating thus... what should it be called?"
"Dharma Aspect." The elder answered faintly from afar: "Surrender, child."
Zhang Fusheng did not answer, merely pondering the word ’Dharma Aspect’.
"So, this is the means of a Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster?"
As he fragmented, he muttered to himself:
"Martial Artists refine the body to seek power, martial arts masters dig into the divine techniques of the five viscera, while Grandmasters, Great Grandmasters, focus on spiritual will."
"They blend spiritual will into the flesh, Qi, and blood, achieving the Unity of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, thus forming the... True Self Dharma Aspect?"
"I’ve learned, I’ve learned."
In the midst of self-reflection.
All the flesh and skin on Zhang Fusheng’s body had fallen off.
He...
had become a skeleton.
A pure skeleton without flesh, without nerves, without internal organs, eyeballs, or brain!
Yet this skeleton was alive.
Could hear, could see, could move, could jump.
"Congratulations."
The eerie white bones lifted their head, empty eye sockets staring at the terrified elder, as the bones in his throat collided and made a unique bone grinding sound:
"You have let me see the road ahead."
"You too can behold my new form."
The skeletal frame vibrated with creaking sounds, while more than thirty martial arts masters stared in shock, skin and flesh organs, even the brain, had vanished!
This... can still live???
Amid countless bewildered gazes, the fragments of flesh scattered at Zhang Fusheng’s feet writhed and floated up,
actually coalescing into a massive flesh tomb behind him!
Ancient Tomb Form.
Twelve Layers of True Intent.
Realm of Spirit Divinity.
Along with... White Bone Observation.
Four major Contemplation Techniques of the Ling Mountain lineage: Tathagata, Pure, Great Compassion, and — Hell.
White Bone Observation, also known as Hell Observation.
Or perhaps...
Ksitigarbha Observation.
The skeleton finally spoke:
"I name this form Yin World Appearance."
"Of course, it can also be called Ksitigarbha Appearance?"
Eighteen-foot True Body — no, Eighteen-foot True Bone emitted a hoarse laugh, as the blood and flesh scenery trembled, the tombstone fell down, and the coffin opened,
In eyes full of horror, it similarly revealed an illusory apparition!!
This was the form of the divine statue that Zhang Fusheng had sculpted for himself in the Divine Realm.
Is incense offered for three hundred years.
Is illuminated by the Six Ding Divine Fire for three hundred years.
Is today, this time!
Is, Ksitigarbha Dharma Aspect!
Moreover!
Central Pole Sect Leader, Emperor of the Underworld, Nine Netherworlds Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate Dharma Aspect!
"A genius..." The elder muttered in astonishment, mumbling to himself: "A single observation, a single encounter, and you’ve actually... learned the Dharma Aspect??"
He felt incredulous, knowing how many years he spent, only through the martial arts master’s body, to barely create the Dharma Aspect by combining a perfected Spirit Realm?
But this guy, but this guy!
He had only opened Two Viscera!
Why?!
The elder closed his eyes, roaring in anger:
"Unfair!"
The Qi Blood Dharma Aspect opened its eyes, astonishingly separating from the body, and punched out, causing the ground beneath it to crack into a deep ravine!
The skeleton remained standing.
Behind, the flesh tomb trembled slightly, and above, the dignified Dharma Aspect with the Twelve-Streamer Crown opened its eyes.
"Dust to dust, soil to soil."
The Dharma Aspect sighed, causing the ancient tomb to vibrate.
The elder’s hundred-meter Dharma Aspect froze, as if compelled by an Imperial Decree, and suddenly scattered into a massive cover-the-sky Qi and blood.
"This..."
The elder’s complexion changed abruptly:
"This cannot be..."
The skeleton sat cross-legged on the ground, joining hands, asking:
"Suffering, eh?"
The Dharma Aspect reached out and pressed down.
The earth trembled.
The elder transformed into a pool of primordial and pure blood and flesh sludge.
The Bridge of Helplessness was then held in the hand by the Netherworld Dharma Aspect.
