"He's got some skills."
The heavenly fire receded, and a figure stepped out from the flames, the scorching heat illuminating the dark sky with a crimson glow.
Crimson flames formed a robe that draped over his body. His face was as red as blood, displaying an angry expression. His hair was also as red as flames, as if it were burning and dancing wildly.
Standing in the sky, he resembled a fiery deity.
At the Eight-Star Soul Realm, supernatural powers begin to form, the seven spirits unite, and one transcends the mortal realm to become a saint.
This realm primarily promotes the advancement of the three elements, but the emphasis may vary depending on the unique supernatural abilities. For example, the supernatural abilities of a body-refining martial artist are almost always focused on the physique, while the element that needs to be improved is the essence.
After the eight stars comes the Earth Soul, and then the Heaven Soul.
The Heavenly Soul is the main light, while the Earthly Soul is the shadow cast by the light of the Heavenly Soul on the Life Soul. The shadow is the form, the main form.
The Realm of Earth Souls is also known as the Realm of Earth Appearances.
The earth's soul condenses, and the divine soul evolves, causing changes in the physical body from the inside out.
This change aligns with supernatural powers, and in essence, it represents a further sublimation of those powers. It is a fusion of supernatural powers with the physical body and the soul, which in turn evolves into many near-divine and demonic forms.
This change is similar to Qu Jingxuan's "Hundred Appearances of Gods and Demons," but the difference is that "Hundred Appearances of Gods and Demons" is merely a simulation, while the Nine Star Earth Soul Realm is a fundamental change and sublimation.
Qu Jingxuan had great ambitions and attempted to integrate various divine beliefs through "a hundred forms of gods and demons," ultimately fusing the forms of all gods in the Earth Soul Realm to become the god among gods.
The key to his "hundred forms of gods and demons" lies not in the "forms," but in the "hundreds."
But it was precisely because of this ambition that Qu Jingxuan failed to achieve this divine transformation. Before he merged with the Hundred Forms, his physical body could not integrate with his divine powers to complete the metamorphosis.
However, Qu Jingxuan achieved this indirectly by using the unique characteristics of "a hundred forms of gods and demons".
Cao Yanwen, on the other hand, focused on studying the "Calamus Flame Condensation Weapon Manual," unlike Qu Jingxuan who was greedy for more. In terms of cultivation level, he was even a level higher than Qu Jingxuan.
According to the records of the Martial Arts Association, the divine intent that Cao Yanwen condensed when he was at the sixth star was called "Heavenly Fire", and the supernatural power he condensed was called "Fire Virtue Divine Body". Based on this, it can be deduced that the "appearance" he manifested when he was at the ninth star was naturally also related to fire.
Moreover, a nine-star martial artist who has undergone physical transformation can still maintain the appearance of a normal person if they wish.
When Cao Yanwen appeared, he already possessed the form of a fiery god, signifying his high regard for Bai Ze.
Although Qu Jingxuan is an eight-star martial artist on the surface, since the Martial Arts Association has discovered that Qu Jingxuan has undergone the baptism of demonic blood, he cannot be regarded as an ordinary eight-star martial artist.
Bai Ze's ability to kill Qu Jingxuan in such a short time shows that Cao Yanwen cannot underestimate him.
But to say that they were afraid of Bai Ze is not entirely true.
The fact that Cao Yanwen dared to come here shows that he is confident in taking down Bai Ze.
Furthermore, if a martial artist loses confidence, he has already lost half the battle.
"Give me my wish? What a boastful tone."
Cao Yanwen gradually descended the altitude, and the fiery clouds in the sky surged further, colliding with the storm.
His eyes seemed to burn with fire as he stared intently at Bai Ze, saying, "I don't know how you managed to increase your strength so rapidly and break through to the eighth star, but if you think you can defeat me by relying on external forces, then it only proves that the so-called number one genius of the younger generation in Dongxia is nothing more than that."
As soon as Cao Yanwen spoke, he wanted to confirm Bai Ze's identity, or rather, he wanted to bind this mysterious, blurry figure in front of him to Bai Ze.
"Are you so sure I am Bai Ze?"
Bai Ze chuckled softly. "If I weren't Bai Ze, there would be no external force as you claim. If you fight me with that kind of thinking, you'll die."
Their words were like knives; before even making a move, they sought to sway each other's judgment and mind.
Cao Yanwen's thinking was not wrong. If it really was Bai Ze, the speed at which he broke through to the eighth star in such a short time was simply unbelievable, unless he was helped by external forces.
The condensation of one's innate supernatural power relies on external forces; even if it can wreak havoc for a time, its future is bleak.
Using this as a psychological tactic will definitely shake the opponent's mind.
That's generally true.
Unfortunately, Bai Ze's condition is abnormal.
As for what's wrong with it... well, I can only say it's impossible to explain to someone like you who hasn't been deactivated.
After a brief exchange of words, Bai Ze was completely unaffected, while Cao Yanwen became somewhat suspicious.
While they were speaking, their auras surged, and each displayed their sharpest talents.
Cao Yanwen's gaze suddenly sharpened, and in an instant, the surroundings seemed to be plunged into a fiery hell, with an extremely intense will sweeping through, burning his spirit and even his consciousness.
At his level, his divine will could incinerate anything it touched; even a simple eye contact could allow his divine will to seep in.
If the difference in strength is too great, the soul may burn away automatically, leaving only an empty shell.
However, this fierce divine will had no effect on Bai Ze.
Even the erupting flames could not get close to Bai Ze's body, and were even dissipating rapidly.
"Introduction to physics: Temperature spontaneously shifts from high-temperature regions to low-temperature regions."
Bai Ze said with a light laugh.
As soon as the words were spoken, the surrounding temperature spread at an alarming rate.
It expanded in all directions, spreading to the mountains and the land, and the previously extreme high temperature decreased in a short period of time.
This shouldn't have happened to Cao Yanwen, after all, his martial arts level is not to be underestimated, how could he not even have this much control?
Therefore, Bai Ze provided a small amount of help by using the principle that words become law.
This kind of command, which follows the laws of physics, consumes far less energy than forced cooling and is much harder to resist.
Physical temperature changes naturally affect the flow of Qi and the spirit.
At that very moment, Bai Ze burst forth with a sun-like radiance.
Explode! Explode! Explode!
A deafening roar, like the earth exploding, erupted, unleashing intense light and heat.
Although not as earth-shattering as before, and with a slightly less powerful impact, it still caused a dazzling and terrifying destructive force, like the sun falling to earth.
The violent sound waves swept across the surrounding area, followed by flames and winds that engulfed the mountains.
Cao Yanwen's true essence was activated in response, and a mysterious fire shield surrounded his body, but he was still blown away like a ball.
The raging flames, like countless fire dragons, chased after Cao Yanwen, and countless rays of radiation, like lightsabers, pierced the Xuanhuo Divine Shield.
"drink!"
Cao Yanwen suddenly roared, and the Xuanhuo Divine Shield formed a halo the size of a wheel, forcing the flames to explode and stopping his figure.
"The Ten Divine Fire Soldiers' Coup".
The true essence of the Calamity Flame surged forth, gathering fire into light, and then into swords. Layer upon layer of fiery swords surrounded his body, forming a sword wheel that spun rapidly.
"boom""
A giant, fiery palm slammed into the flaming sword wheel in that instant, shattering the sword wheel and colliding with the mystical fire aura.
Amidst the raging flames, illusory figures appeared and disappeared intermittently; it was none other than Bai Ze, who used his Great Freedom Dharma Body to disperse into energy, arriving along with the erupting scorching wind.
Its speed was so fast that it was almost like teleportation, but Cao Yanwen was indeed worthy of his reputation. Sensing the danger, he gathered his sword into a wheel and blocked the attack.
The illusory figure suddenly appeared, then instantly merged into the flames, as if it had vanished.
In the next instant, a burst of light appeared, dazzling and brilliant.
All around were enormous palm shadows, blocking all escape routes, while dangerous, dazzling light focused on Cao Yanwen's location.
"Large Radiation Palm".
Fast! Incredibly fast!
Just as Cao Yanwen blocked one attack, hundreds of attacks came at the same time.
Hundreds of palm strikes simultaneously hit the Xuanhuo light circle, squeezing it from the size of a car wheel into a thin sheet of paper, clinging to Cao Yanwen's body, on the verge of being torn apart.
At the same time, Cao Yanwen flew into a rage, his true essence erupted, and the Xuanhuo light circle that had been compressed to the extreme suddenly burst open.
"The heavens and the earth trembled."
boom-
Like a spring that has been compressed to its limit, it rebounded with tremendous force, shaking hundreds of palm shadows and detonating the radiant energy as well.
Boom boom boom boom boom—
The force of the energy exploded, creating a series of blasts that even caused space itself to tremble, forming substantial spatial ripples.
Under this shock, Bai Ze, who had dispersed into Qi, was forced to reassemble his body; otherwise, he might have been shaken apart by the connection of Yuan Qi, causing his true essence to explode.
The Eastern Xia Federation and the Great Freedom Demonic Cult have been fighting for many years, and countless people have suffered losses at the hands of the Great Freedom Dharma Body. Naturally, they would be wary of this method.
The move Cao Yanwen just used was a killing technique created by the Heavenly Gate martial artist from the Wang family of Yanjing. It could shake space and was aimed at the Great Freedom Dharma Body that had dissipated into Qi.
In an instant, the flames were dispersed, creating a vacuum, and a figure materialized in front of them.
Before Cao Yanwen could catch his breath, he forcefully activated his true essence, transforming his true fire into a weapon, and unleashed a crimson blade of light.
"The Divine Fire Ten Soldiers' Mutation - Fierce Blade Cuts Through the Sky".
The blade flashed incredibly fast, and the extremely high temperature, condensed to the extreme, shattered the vital energy surrounding Bai Ze, but was blocked by the Xuanhuang Qi.
But Cao Yanwen arrived shortly after, channeling crimson true fire into his hands. He unleashed a barrage of attacks with both hands, slashing with a knife, chopping with an axe, thrusting with a sword, and striking with a hammer. The true fire coalesced, transforming into divine weapons, yet they converged in his palms and struck with devastating force.
His Fire Virtue Divine Body is also known for its physical prowess. When combined with true fire, it becomes an indestructible divine weapon and the strongest means of attack.
The divine fire weapons attacked the swirling Xuanhuang aura simultaneously. Cao Yanwen advanced and struck again, intending to seize the opportunity to engage Bai Ze in close combat.
With his Fire Virtue Divine Body and cultivation level, he would definitely have the upper hand in close combat!
However—
The fiery energy struck the seemingly faint Xuanhuang Qi, creating ripples, but it could not break through it.
Cao Yanwen's arm, like a giant axe, cleaved down from the sky, but Bai Ze blocked it with his arm.
Boom!
The intense force of the collision even created a vacuum zone, demonstrating its power. However, such a collision was unlikely to harm Bai Ze.
Cao Yanwen felt as if he had struck not a human body, but an insurmountable chasm, unshakable and indestructible.
He was unaware that Bai Ze's Xuanhuang Dao Body integrated numerous methods, possessed the adaptability of the Heavenly Demon Body, the stability of the body as a Dao Field, the inclusiveness of the Qiankun Body, and even integrated his own Dharma Form.
In terms of strength and skill, Bai Ze is actually no less than Cao Yanwen.
Their attack failed, and Bai Ze seized the opportunity to counterattack.
Bai Ze was about to grab Cao Yanwen's arm when Cao Yanwen, with his sharp senses, withdrew his hand and turned to the side, avoiding the attack.
His figure moved with the wind like a flame, precisely dodging Bai Ze's attack. Instead of retreating, he advanced, crouching low and elbowing Bai Ze in the chest.
Seeing this, Bai Ze did not back down at all. He clasped his hands together, which moved like butterflies, and pushed forward to meet the attack head-on.
The two exchanged blows again. Cao Yanwen's true energy burst forth, and his true fire raged. In contrast, Bai Ze was completely different from his previous domineering and fierce demeanor. His body seemed empty, and his palms were like nothingness.
The moment the two sides made contact, the true fire suddenly dimmed, and Cao Yanwen felt as if his true essence had struck the void, and it was completely dissipated, even the immense power was neutralized.
This is--
"No return!" he gritted his teeth and spat out the two words.
Good news: Cao Yanwen has finally confirmed Bai Ze's identity.
Bad news: It's useless to confirm it.
"Returning to nothingness" has no obvious characteristics, so what use is it if only he knows it? It cannot serve as evidence.
Most importantly, this move drastically changed the situation.
Cao Yanwen never expected that, in terms of skill, he was inferior to Bai Ze.
Bai Ze's Xuanhuang Dao Body is compatible with the Three Elements, and his essence, energy, and spirit are completely transformed, greatly raising the upper limit of "Return to Nothingness".
"Return to Nothingness" was completely effective for Cao Yanwen.
At this moment, Cao Yanwen's situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
After the true essence was dissipated, the extreme light and heat surged from Bai Ze's palm. The nuclear fusion power was driven by Bai Ze, and although it was extremely violent, it flowed freely like water.
The extreme nuclear energy blasted into his arm, instantly turning Cao Yanwen's Fire Virtue Divine Body into something like magma, and even causing it to flow back into his body.
"Shoo-One"
At the critical moment, a strong wind suddenly entered this scorching area. The wind force changed and transformed in an instant, like a sword or a blade, covering Bai Ze's back and head.
The rest of the reinforcements have arrived!
"Where my will leads, my spirit will follow."
Without turning his head, Bai Ze simply uttered a soft sound, and the gust of wind suddenly exploded, with an invisible force even being transmitted out along with his divine sense.
"puff-
'
A figure stumbled out of the wind, spitting out a mouthful of blood mid-air.
At the same time, a blade flashed across the sky, spanning hundreds of meters, and slashed down from mid-air.
Bai Ze glanced sideways, and as his divine sense and true essence reached, a large hand materialized in the air, crushing the blade light in one swift motion.
At the same time, Bai Ze grabbed Cao Yanwen's arm with his palm, and then pulled it off amidst the blazing fire energy.
Thud—
The intense fire surged forth, but Cao Yanwen seized the opportunity to unleash a powerful attack, blocking the impact of the flames and retreating.
The disruptor's attack ultimately bought Cao Yanwen a glimmer of hope, but he still paid the price of losing an arm.
Bai Ze clenched his fist, and the arm turned to ashes in his palm.
At that moment, several figures surrounded them.
"He is incredibly strong, and we will launch a pincer attack as previously agreed," Cao Yanwen said in a deep voice.
Besides the two troublemakers, each of them locked onto Bai Ze from behind, while on the side, Xiao Zangfeng, with a stern face, stepped through the air.
Zhang Xiaotian, also looking helpless, flew closer.
Five people surrounded Bai Ze.
This is where Cao Yanwen's greatest confidence lies.
At first, he thought he could take down Bai Ze on his own, and this show of force was actually to prevent Bai Ze from escaping.
Now, the formation to prevent escape has turned into a siege of Bai Ze, becoming the last resort.
Surrounded by enemies, Bai Ze surveyed the area with his divine sense and suddenly said leisurely, "Is there anything else?"
