Above the Great Dao

Without hesitation, Qing Yang pulled up two long horns and charged at Jing Hong, but staggered underfoot, nearly falling!

His fighting style was incredibly fierce, exchanging injuries for injuries, life for life. Previously, when battling Jing Hong, he had used this same tactic.

Jing Hong's movement was swift and attacks rapid, but in terms of mana, Qing Yang had the advantage with the spiritual and form power of the twenty-eight peaks of Taihua Mountain and eighty-eight Demon Peaks. Combined with his reckless fighting style, he could secure victory.

Now, his physical body was scarred and heavily injured, incapable of another battle.

Moreover, even if he could, he couldn't find Jing Hong's vital point, not knowing how to kill this bizarre creature of evil transformation.

"Whizz—"

A long sword, drawing dazzling rosy clouds, flew past him. The sword broke through the air at incredible speed, it was precisely Chen Shi who had conjured it.

The immortal sword's tip trembled, splitting into two, then four, then eight, and in an instant, it divided into 1,024 swords. The tip trembled again, turning into 2,048 swords!

Seeing this, Qing Yang invigorated his mana, pouring it all into these 2,048 immortal swords!

The rosy clouds erupted, extraordinarily brilliant, as if thousands of phoenixes were trailing dazzling tails, rushing toward Jing Hong!

Chen Shi shouted, stepping forward, holding a sword finger in each hand. At the same moment, as the Bodhi Battle Victory Skill from the Great Baoguo Temple was activated, the moment when the primordial spirit and physical body merged, the Transformation Skill burst forth, arms of flesh growing from underarms and ribs, forming into the thousand-armed aspect of a Bodhisattva.

This Bodhi Battle Victory Skill, inscribed among the Monument Forest outside the True King's Tomb, is a combat skill close to the tomb's entrance, one of the top-tier combat skills.

Chen Shi had never used this skill before; it requires the transformation of both primordial spirit and physical body and the cultivation level of the Unification Realm to perform. Reaching the Unification Realm, with a three-zhang primordial spirit merging with the physical daoist field, the physical body rapidly gains vitality, growing to a height of three zhang, like a deity.

The key to activating the Bodhi Battle Victory Skill lies in that instant of combining body, spirit, and dao. At this moment, activating the cultivation technique, using the daoist field's vitality and primordial spirit transformation to cause the physical change, rapidly growing a thousand arms, allows oneself to achieve the Bodhi True Body, obtaining the supreme combat skill!

This is the secret of Bodhi Dojo!

Chen Shi had just recently accomplished the Unification Realm, previously unable to use it; today was the first time he was demonstrating it.

His primordial spirit stood ten zhang tall, relying on the power of a ten-zhang soul, hence his Bodhi True Body also exceeded ten zhang, with the thousand arms varying in length, shorter ones like a child's, arms as thick as duck eggs, while longer ones spanned seven to eight zhang, chaotic and bewildering.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Chen Shi yelled, each of the thousand arms pinching sword fingers, thrusting forward, each arm controlling a beam or several beams of sword light.

The immortal sword's radiance dragged rosy clouds, piercing through Jing Hong's corpse, engulfing Jing Hong!

Chen Shi's heart sank.

He realized he had struck empty air, missing the true flesh.

Jing Hong flapped his wings backward, flying at incredible speed, evading the True Martial Evil Extermination Sword and beams of rosy clouds.

Chen Shi roared, stepping forward, sword technique rising, transforming into the Sword Picking Style, then turning into the Cloud Sword Formation, and then changing into the Splitting Sword Style!

Under his control, the True Martial Evil Extermination Sword split again, forming 5,096 beams of sword light, carrying countless rosy clouds, pursuing the airborne, drifting figure from all directions. The flood of sword light and rosy clouds flew from one mountain peak to another, submerging the peaks!

His mana was insufficient to fully consecrate the True Martial Evil Extermination Sword, unable to unleash its true power, relying instead on Qing Yang's overwhelming mana, with Chen Shi merely acting as someone refining the technique.

Chen Shi's gaze locked intently on that flying figure in the air, stepping further, and suddenly, the sword fingers of the thousand arms relaxed, each finger controlling a beam of sword light, 5,000 fingers controlling 5,000 beams of sword light. The different sword lights executed different sword moves, pushing the techniques of the Xuanwei Sword Scripture to the extreme!

His brain operated with high efficiency at this moment, the brain matter boiling, his consciousness unprecedentedly clear, the accurate trajectory of each sword light vividly reflected in his mind!

For the first time, he sensed such a clear path, the variation of the sword lights and rosy clouds was utterly at his command!

Jing Hong had just transformed, the cicada wings not yet sturdy, the body not yet reaching perfect state, forced to dodge among the mountain peaks by the countless sword lights and rosy clouds. Yet, those sword lights and rosy clouds seemed to form huge layers of nets, entangling him within, gradually tightening!

In panic, he realized that if the sword array continued to contract, he would have nowhere to escape!

"Whizz!"

He flapped his wings, tearing through the barrier of the Yin Yang Two Realms, slipping into the underworld, and flew away.

Chen Shi roared in anger, stepping forward once more, as electric light crackled chaotically around him, opening a vertical eye in the middle of his brows, with thunder swirling within, suddenly activating the Thunderbolt Jade Core Technique, summoning the Thunder Ancestor True Body, penetrating the Yin Yang Two Realms, in pursuit of Jing Hong.

Jing Hong had just entered the underworld when the Luotian Sword Net descended from the sky, descending, layer upon layer of the Luotian Sword Net sealed him tight, constricting!

His cicada wings gradually firmed, the body also stabilized, speed increasing, yet the sword net had already formed, leaving him no escape!

Jing Hong whizzed, escaping into his own Void Great Realm, standing atop the Cloud Sea, gazing up at the sky.
