Chapter 538 The Formless Heavenly Demon, the Dharma Form Slaying the Dragon
Even a momentary disadvantage can lead to a life-or-death crisis.
Eckert Tang was completely unprepared for Bai Ze to be able to sever his battle sword in one strike.
If he hadn't dodged in the blink of an eye, that sword strike would have done far more than just sever the dragon's wing.
Even though he managed to dodge the sword that could cut anything, Eckert still faced a life-or-death situation.
That magnificent divine light carried an aura of annihilation, with Yin and Yang and the Five Elements flowing around it, instantly disintegrating Eckert's protective aura.
"what!"
Eckert roared, and his armor-like scales stood up and burst forth.
Countless dark rays shot towards the divine light that descended from the sky, while streaks of sword light burst forth from seven major acupoints around Eckert's body, dripping with blood.
Faced with such a desperate situation, Eckert used his trump card and even activated the sword energy he had been nurturing in his acupoints.
However, when these dark rays and blade-like auras collided with the divine light, they instantly vanished.
The divine light chased after the retreating Eckert, sweeping across the severed dragon wing and instantly turning it into a ball of energy.
Bai Ze moved with the light, like a fleeting shadow, and approached Eckert.
With a flash of divine light, the sword fell with the palm, its edge rising again, carrying the momentum of breaking through golden locks and unleashing a dragon, slashing towards the black dragon.
Life and death can be decided in an instant.
"Bang!"
A cloud of black mist suddenly surged from behind Eckert, enveloping him and transforming into numerous human figures.
Eight sword lights bloomed like lotus flowers, penetrating the innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements divine light.
The divine light instantly transformed, displaying a mutually restraining force, and the eight sword lights simultaneously revealed their true forms, exhibiting an incomparably unpredictable sword intent.
It is as cold as white bones, as sinister as a ghost, as cruel as purgatory, as eerie as a shadow, and also possesses an invisible and formless sword, a graceful and powerful dragon-like aura, a domineering and ferocious intent, and countless killing moves.
The eight sword lights represent eight sword intents and eight divine intents.
A martial artist awakens to their true nature, opening the ancestral aperture between their eyebrows to condense their divine will. That gathered will represents their true self, the very foundation of self-awareness.
However, before them stood a person who displayed eight divine wills, each representing one of his true selves.
The sword lights clashed and permeated each other, causing the individual selves to intertwine and distort, making the sword light increasingly chaotic.
"boom-
""
The divine light shattered the chaotic and distorted sword light and dissolved most of the sword energy, but a small portion was still not broken down.
A powerful aura erupted, and a sharp beam shot out from it, clashing with the broken blade in Eckert's hand.
"when""
The resounding clang, like a great bell, shattered the wisps of energy.
Eckert's black dragon form retreated rapidly, his right claw holding the sword trembling slightly as he stared at the temporarily suspended divine light ahead.
The innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements divine light, along with that sharp sword strike, would have killed Eckert on the spot had it not been for someone's help. Even his primordial spirit, or what Westerners prefer to call the soul of a demigod, might not have been able to escape.
You should know that he was the second-in-command of the Black Dragon Legion, and had followed War General Hoddle in many battles over the years. The years of fighting he had experienced were longer than Hoddle's age.
But the result was that he almost died at the hands of the other party.
Although the environment of the Mountain and Sea Realm also prevented Eckert from using his technological armor, Eckert knew that even fully armed, he might not be able to defeat his opponent.
At the same time, the black mist coalesced into a human shape, revealing a slender figure.
He was dressed in a black robe and his face was covered with a white bone mask. The specially made mask covered his entire face, not even his eyes.
"The Formless Heavenly Demon".
Bai Ze gently pressed down on the divine light, casually uttering the other party's name, "Has the Great Freedom Demonic Sect become the lackey of the Western Alliance?"
This strange being who suddenly appeared was none other than the Vice Leader of the Great Freedom Demonic Sect—the Formless Heavenly Demon.
Bai Ze had seen his fake form before. At that time, Da Zizai used his own blood energy to create the Formless Heavenly Demon, and even gave it intelligence, so that it could stop Bai Ze.
However, that fake body was only eight stars, while the Formless Heavenly Demon in front of him was a real ten-star.
Eight years ago, when he attacked the exploration team in the Yuan Realm and destroyed two of Mu Yaoguang's souls, he was still a nine-star martial artist. Now, eight years later, this vice leader of the Great Freedom Demonic Sect, who has been constantly hunted down by Dongxia, has become a ten-star martial artist.
"You can't just say things like that."
The Demon King Wuxiang chuckled and said, "I am the High Priest of the Western Alliance Church of Conflict, registered with the Western Alliance Religious Administration. How can I be called a dog?"
That's right, the Church of Strife, a branch of the Great Freedom Cult in the Western Union, is a registered and legitimate religion.
Although this sect is occasionally designated as a cult, it always manages to extricate itself from such a label, making it a Schrödinger-esque cult that oscillates between legality and illegality.
The fact that Wuxiang Tianmo was able to break through safely despite being hunted down by the Dongxia Martial Arts Association in recent years was also partly due to the help of the Western Alliance.
As they spoke, the Formless Demon and Eckert stood in two distinct angles, their unpredictable and ever-changing divine intent locking onto Bai Ze.
"Should I make a move?"
Bai Xuanji's cool and indifferent voice rang in Bai Ze's ears.
The Formless Demon King only broke through in recent years, unlike veterans like Eckert, but in Bai Ze's eyes, he was far more difficult to deal with than Eckert.
As a wanted criminal who has been hunted by Dongxia for many years, Wuxiang Tianmo's information is well-documented within the Martial Arts Association.
The Great Freedom Demonic Sect's tangible and intangible Otherworldly Great Freedom Dharma Body, combined with the Demon Blood Divine Power, grants the Formless Heavenly Demon a Freedom Dharma Body, enabling it to transform and traverse between the real and the illusory.
The Formless Heavenly Demon himself created the unique demonic art "Myriad Manifestations of the Universe," which allowed him to integrate multiple divine wills.
According to the Martial Arts Association's intelligence department and the powerful individuals he has fought, the Formless Heavenly Demon likely suffers from dissociative identity disorder. However, through cultivation, he has unified these personalities, achieving a state where one is all and all is one, and he is able to fuse multiple divine wills together.
Possessing two supernatural powers and multiple divine wills, the Formless Heavenly Demon is a genius with astonishing talent, capable of dominating among those of the same realm.
Compared to him, Eckert, though proficient in both Eastern and Western martial arts and compatible with both new and true martial arts, was still inferior.
"Since the Formless Heavenly Demon has arrived, the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Demon may also have arrived. Senior, it's best not to make a move for now."
Bai Ze replied telepathically, "I'll kill two ten-star enemies just the same way."
The original plan was to have Bai Xuanji take action and annihilate the Black Dragon Legion, but now that the Myriad Transformations Demon might be present, to prevent it from launching a sneak attack, it's best to have Bai Xuanji observe for the time being.
The Black Dragon Legion has two ten-star combatants. Zhen Cheng faced one of them, and Bai Ze almost killed the other.
Now, the Formless Demon has joined the battlefield, but it has not been able to reverse the Black Dragon Legion's defeat.
He and Eckert faced off against Bai Ze, while the remaining ten-star was held back by Zhen Cheng. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Lingguan and the others annihilated the remaining members of the Black Dragon Legion.
The four members of Daitoku-ji Temple—Yuan De, Yuan Xing, Yuan Yong, and Yuan Yan—came up together, activating their golden bodies and wielding monk's swords in a fierce battle. They even used a combined attack technique, resembling the Four Heavenly Kings.
The three from the Shangqing Sect were also true killing talents, having all been trained in the Shangqing Energy. Under the protection of the two swords, Tao Yingshu made a series of attacks, his aura surging and transforming into azure clouds, which was the unique skill of the Shangqing Sect, "Shangqing Wind and Cloud Technique".
As for the three members of the Jade Gate Gang, they were equally formidable. Yue Changge's "Hell Transformation" was a demonic art most adept at killing; none of those who mastered it were weak.
In terms of numbers, we are at a disadvantage, but in terms of combat strength, we have a complete advantage.
If the Myriad Transformations Demon were to make a move, it could give him a pleasant surprise.
Both Wuxiang Tianmo and Eckert sensed Bai Ze's killing intent. They both knew that the other's killing intent remained, or even intensified.
Don't even think about stopping for now.
That murderous intent didn't just come from Bai Ze, but from the very fabric of heaven and earth.
This vast desert and the boundless fiery clouds all seemed to harbor murderous intent at this moment, as the killing intent of heaven and earth descended upon each individual.
It's unclear whether Bai Ze has embedded himself into the world, or whether the world has been controlled by Bai Ze. At this moment, he and the world are inseparable.
Bai Ze stood amidst divine light, like the light within light, standing between heaven and earth, like the center of heaven and earth.
The sword light around the Formless Demon fluctuated, and the sword intent shifted layer upon layer, causing the demon to constantly change its form.
Eckert retracted his last remaining dragon wing, while the wound on the other side began to heal rapidly as the flesh writhed.
At his level of physical strength, even severed limbs can regenerate. If he were to attempt to break through to the Heavenly Gate in the future, Ike would undoubtedly be the first to do so.
"Heaven has unleashed its killing intent, shifting stars and changing constellations."
In response to Bai Ze's words, the wind and clouds surged, and the fiery energy ignited the fire clouds, with raging flames burning in the sky.
"boom""
Like thunder, or the sound of a storm, an unparalleled force appeared out of nowhere and roared in.
The space around the Formless Heavenly Demon trembled violently, and the omnipresent flames suddenly erupted, sweeping out like a solar storm.
The Formless Demon was blasted into a cloud of black mist.
He moved between reality and illusion, the black mist gathering and dispersing, drifting unpredictably.
But the incomparable power continued to pursue, and streaks of flame bloomed in the sky, affecting the two sides engaged in fierce fighting nearby, causing both sides to avoid the battlefield.
"When the earth ignites a deadly threat, dragons and snakes rise from the land."
The storm swept up the red sand, and amidst the flying sand and stones, dragons and snakes formed from the sand and stones.
It stirred up dust and sand, shooting it skyward from the ground, and lunged at Eckert.
"roar!"
Eckert roared, his skull deformed, fine scales grew on his cheeks, and his entire body swelled up again.
It transformed from its original human form into a black dragon that was thirty meters long.
He roared and charged towards the crimson sand dragon, his dark red malevolent energy transforming into flames that collided violently with the illusory sand dragon.
The sand and gravel struck the scales, making a continuous sound. The black dragon roared angrily, spewing flames that covered the earth and ignited the sandstorm.
At the same time, the black mist that the Formless Heavenly Demon had transformed into flew away suddenly swept in a member of the Black Dragon Legion, and the black mist surged into his body like a tide.
The dragon-man's eyes instantly turned completely black as he collided with that unparalleled force.
"Boom!"
In the head-on collision, the dragonman's entire body burst forth with sword light, all his essence, energy, and spirit turning into fuel, crisscrossing with flames.
"Bang!"
The raging flames surged rapidly, and the immense power condensed from the primordial energy of heaven and earth was temporarily halted by this sudden eruption.
Black mist suddenly appeared around Bai Ze, and illusory figures flashed by. Sword energy, palm prints, finger shadows, and attacks of all sizes instantly covered a black area.
"This sword can pierce through the void and cut through the solid; it is a sword that will never strike."
Bai Ze swept his sword horizontally, shattering all the afterimages and breaking through countless techniques.
The primordial sword seemed to possess its own will, tracing a sharp trajectory as it slashed at the suddenly appearing figure.
A colossal skeletal demonic figure appeared, its stark white bone claws clashing against the sword's edge, sparking countless embers.
Heavenly Demon Myriad Forms - White Bone Dharma Body.
The Formless Heavenly Demon unleashed his innate divine power, using his bones as a sword. Sword energy surged within his bones, and the chilling and sinister sword intents clashed, forcing out an extremely cold and sharp edge.
The sword blade rubbed against the bone arm. Bai Ze raised his sword and slashed at the head of the Formless Heavenly Demon, but it was blocked by the proliferating white bones.
He transformed into a bone sword, flashing and leaping through the air, unleashing a barrage of sword energy from all directions.
"I can also attain the Great Freedom Dharmakaya."
The white bone sword energy burst forth, instantly forming a forest of swords that pierced through Bai Ze's figure.
But that body was like a dream, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Bai Ze's body merged with the divine light, and in an instant, he arrived atop the sand dragon's head. The cold sharpness reappeared, and the metallic particles in the primordial sword multiplied wildly, creating a colossal sword that could support the heavens.
The primordial energy of heaven and earth surged, and an incomparably enormous giant god took shape within it, reaching out to grasp a colossal sword that seemed to reach the heavens. The mountain-like blade pierced through the fiery clouds above.
"This sword can cut through anything."
Bai Ze, wielding his Dharma form, pointed his sword at the heavens, its light reflecting on the earth and illuminating the black dragon.
"not good!"
The Formless Heavenly Demon let out a low cry.
He roams freely in his Great Freedom Dharma Body, and unless Bai Ze uses his words to imprison space to the point that he cannot pass through, it is extremely difficult to catch him.
Even if a sword strike is unleashed with certainty of hitting its mark, the Formless Heavenly Demon can still evade the damage using its physical body.
So Bai Ze stopped paying attention to the fly-like Wuxiang Heavenly Demon.
He gathered the primordial energy of heaven and earth, condensing it into a Dharma image that was five hundred meters tall. The vast and boundless flames transformed into fiery clouds, forming a crimson halo around the Dharma image.
The Great Freedom Dharma Body of the Formless Heavenly Demon is indeed wondrous, but before this 500-meter-tall Dharma Form, no matter how many wondrous uses it has, it will only appear insignificant.
"The myriad phenomena of the heavenly demons"
"6
At that time, the Formless Demon would manipulate space once again to rescue Eckert.
But at the same time, Bai Ze opened his mouth again.
"When a person harbors murderous intent, heaven and earth are overturned."
The space between heaven and earth flips at this moment, with up becoming down and down becoming up.
The spatial disorientation caused the Formless Heavenly Demon to lose his way for a moment.
At that moment, the sword fell from the sky.
The distance in space was also in disarray at this moment. The sword blade traversed space in the blink of an eye, and the mountain-like sharpness split Eckert's vision in two.
Eckert unleashed the full power of his body, and the blade's aura formed a storm that swirled rapidly around him, yet it could not stop the sword light that seemed to cleave the heavens and earth.
The heavens and earth were split in two by a sharp blade, and then, from where the blade struck, a dense crimson light burst forth.
The black dragon stopped in mid-air, its blood-red color surging from its shoulders to its waist.
