The Great Golden Buddha is not the actual embodiment of the Bodhisattva of Compassion, but rather a mural of Buddha's blessing that he obtained from an ancient temple during his cultivation.
The mural depicts the enlightenment achieved by a highly accomplished monk in the past. However, something went wrong, and the evil monk Pudu Cihang obtained it. With the help of the mural, he has harmed many people over the years.
Now that Dan Chenzi has destroyed this great golden Buddha, it can be considered as removing a great scourge from the world and repaying the karmic debt for Buddhism.
"This...this...this is a palm lightning?!"
Gulu!
Yan Chixia swallowed hard, the shock on his face long gone, replaced by unprecedented admiration.
As a cultivator, besides gaining a sense of accomplishment from subduing demons and monsters, the greatest wish is to encounter an enlightened master at level 750 and have the opportunity to improve one's strength.
After witnessing Dan Chenzi summon divine lightning to destroy the Great Golden Buddha, Yan Chixia knew that he had met a master today, and that the master's strength was unfathomable, at least two major realms stronger than himself.
Only in this way can the giant golden Buddha be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
"Thank you for your help, Senior..."
Outside Zhengqi Manor, Commander Zuo bowed to Dan Chenzi, but now that he had lost an arm, his behavior was somewhat strange.
In the past, Dan Chenzi would have completely ignored this mortal, but the latter's performance in fighting demons with the strength of a mortal earned his approval. Therefore, Dan Chenzi praised him, saying, "You are not bad. One day you will surely be able to enter the Dao through martial arts and advance to the Golden Core stage of martial arts or even the realm of a terrestrial immortal."
Martial Arts Golden Core?
Land fairy?
Zuo Qianhu simply shook his head with a laugh, taking it as nothing more than a casual remark.
"Senior, you flatter me. I am already a cripple, so how can I talk about cultivation? I would be satisfied if I could maintain my Grandmaster level after tonight."
(aiai)
"Don't belittle yourself. After I kill this thousand-year-old centipede demon, I'll help you restore your severed arm."
Done.
Dan Chenzi ignored Zuo Qianhu's suspicion and stomped down suddenly.
boom! ! !
A deafening roar erupted, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground centered on Dan Chenzi.
The Righteousness Manor was also shaken and collapsed by this enormous force. Those inside crawled out in a disheveled state, covered in dust and dirt.
"What do you mean by this, senior?"
Zuo Qianhu was completely bewildered; he realized something was wrong as soon as he spoke.
Underground, a series of earthquakes occurred, as if some ferocious beast was about to be born.
"Roar……"
An angry roar pierced the sky, knocking some people unconscious.
From the crack below, shimmering scales, a giant centipede demon burst forth from the earth, its half-body suspended in mid-air.
Upon seeing the centipede demon's true form, those who hadn't yet fainted gasped in horror, feeling a chill run down their spines, and were so frightened they wet themselves on the spot.
Who would have thought that the Guardian Master Pudu Cihang was actually a centipede demon in disguise, and a martial art that was a hundred feet long, looking like a giant dragon, with eyes bigger than lanterns.
"Gurgle, is this the true form of Pudu Cihang? Why is there such a terrifying demon in the world..."
Zuo Qianhu was lost in thought for a moment; even he could not remain calm at this moment.
Such a demon possesses combat power comparable to an army of ten thousand. For the Ming Dynasty, such a powerful demon would be a catastrophe. How could they possibly fight against it?
In his utter shock, Zuo Qianhu glanced at Dan Chenzi out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that the latter's face remained unchanged, he felt a little more confident.
"Heaven and earth are boundless, and the laws of heaven and earth are connected!"
the other side.
Yan Chixia was almost stunned. At this moment, disregarding his own injuries, he gathered all his remaining magical power in his hand and used his own blood as a guide to draw several talismans.
As you can see, several serpentine bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking the body of the hundred-foot-tall centipede demon.
However, this level of damage couldn't even cleave the centipede demon's scales; the difference in strength between the two sides was simply too great.
"Little cultivator, are you trying to tickle me?"
The centipede demon turned around and spoke in human language, mocking Yan Chixia with the tone one would use when addressing a dead man.
It's important to know that its scales have been growing for over a thousand years, and over these years it has absorbed a considerable amount of dragon energy, making it almost a dragon in the making. (9)
If we measure Pudu Cihang by cultivation levels, it has already reached the peak of Core Formation or the half-step Nascent Soul stage. Such a being naturally wouldn't take Yan Chixia seriously.
"Demon, cease your arrogance! I still possess a sword capable of slaying all demons under heaven!"
Yan Chixia's eyes reddened, as if in a final burst of energy before death. At this moment, his cultivation level surged from the early stage of Core Formation to the late stage, just one step away from the perfection of Core Formation.
If a cultivator were here, they would surely notice that Yan Chixia was burning his blood essence. (iv)
This performance, like the ephemeral beauty of a night-blooming cereus, fades quickly after its initial bloom, a fleeting moment of splendor. 2
Dan Chenzi did not intervene, but instead offered a calm commentary, giving Yan Chixia an approving look. (IX)
In his view, a mere Daoist in the early stages of Core Formation was willing to burn his blood essence and true energy to exorcise a demon; such Daoist resolve was unwavering enough. If he could overcome this tribulation, he would surely achieve the Nascent Soul realm in time.
"Sword—come!" Wu
Yan Chixia let out a deep voice, and at this moment his aura underwent an astonishing change, with an unparalleled aura spreading throughout his body.
He raised his hand, and all the shattered fragments of the short sword flew into the air and visibly coalesced into a golden sword. This was a sword practiced with the heart of a sword and with true essence.
Judging from the power emanating from that golden sword light, it could even put up a fight against someone at the peak of the Core Formation stage.
The thousand-year-old centipede demon finally got serious and pounced on Yan Chixia before the sword was fully formed.
Yan Chixia was not intimidated. At the peak of his true essence, he condensed a golden giant sword and slashed at the thousand-year-old centipede. The two collided head-on.
"kill!!!"
.......
Chapter 184 Killing the Centipede Demon to Obtain its Demon Core, Enlightening Commander Zuo
Boom! ! !
A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth.
Yan Chixia's all-out attack landed on the thousand-year-old centipede demon, causing a massive explosion and sending out terrifying energy shockwaves.
but.
When the thick smoke dissipated, everyone present except for Dan Chenzi was stunned.
As far as the eye could see, the hundred-foot-tall centipede demon was completely unharmed, with half of its body dangling in mid-air, swaying arrogantly.
"How is this possible... Pfft!!!"
Before Yan Chixia could finish speaking, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and almost fainted.
That last sword strike almost exhausted all his magical power, forcibly raising his cultivation level to the late stage of Core Formation, condensing an incomparably powerful sword strike, but he didn't expect it to end in such a disastrous way.
"You mere ants dare to be disrespectful to me? You are truly ignorant of your own limitations, hehehehe."
Pudu Cihang cackled, speaking in human language, its eyes, larger than lanterns, fixed on Yan Chixia, as if it were about to kill him at any moment.
but.
Its gaze quickly shifted from Yan Chixia and finally landed on Dan Chenzi.
Because it had realized that Dan Chenzi was the biggest threat, while the others were nothing but ants.
"Boy, I see that you are filled with immortal energy, which is a great tonic for me. Once I devour you, I will be able to complete my true dragon transformation. At that time, I will not need to slowly absorb the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty to complete the transformation."
"Noisy!"
Bang! ! !
As a Nascent Soul Realm expert, Dan Chenzi's overall strength is no less than that of a Mahayana Realm expert. Even if he encounters a Tribulation Transcending Realm expert, he would still have the strength to fight. How could he tolerate the thousand-year-old centipede demon showing off in front of him?
The thousand-year-old centipede spirit, although a half-step dragon transformation being, was only a half-step Nascent Soul in terms of cultivation level.
then.
He acted decisively, transforming into a divine rainbow and shooting forward, striking the thousand-year-old centipede demon on the head with a palm strike—it was too fast!
puff!
A sound rang out.
The centipede demon's head was smashed in half, emitting a shrill scream. The terrifying demonic energy shook the space, causing a violent tremor.
However, this was just the beginning.
Dan Chenzi's Xuan Tie Flying Knife Wings flapped behind him, and he arrived above Zhengqi Manor like a bolt of lightning. He then condensed a huge palm print from the sky, which crashed down on the hundred-zhang centipede with a mighty energy storm.
Rumbling--
The severed body of the thousand-year-old centipede demon shattered on the ground, sending rocks flying and demon blood scattering in all directions.
It's a long story, but it all happened in the blink of an eye.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would believe that the Hundred-Foot Centipede Demon Pudu Cihang was beaten so badly that he was powerless to resist?
