Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques-Chapter 118 - 117: Manifestation of the God

The path of cultivation is fraught with tribulations. One wrong step, and you'll fall into a bottomless abyss.

But tribulations are also opportunities.

The demon tribulation tested their hearts, yet it was also like a gentle breeze sweeping away dust.

Once they broke through, all dust was swept away. The clouds parted to reveal a clear sky, illuminating their true selves.

Zhou Yuanjue's and Jiang Jiushan's "Guardian Dao" had already reached their final stages. Now, under the baptism of the demon tribulation, the last traces of confusion and dust lingering in their minds were swept away. Their hearts became transparent and clear, free of any doubt.

The Jade Radiance emanating from their bodies grew increasingly pure. Aside from the Niwan Palace between their brows, every other part of their bodies was thoroughly illuminated by the jade light.

The massive Flaming Giant Bird spread its wings and soared, tilting its head back to let out a long cry. Its proud eyes stared unflinchingly at Celestial General Chief Ba, showing not a hint of fear or confusion, only an endless will to fight.

'Eight years of martial practice, and the realm I've always yearned for is right before my eyes. No one can stop me from moving forward!'

Meanwhile, Jiang Jiushan's eyes were downcast, his twin maces held at his sides. The Ksitigarbha Dharma Image behind him had almost solidified, overlapping with his body.

Wherever he passed, lotuses seemed to bloom on the ground, swamps receded, and Evil Ghosts submitted.

'These two!!'

Celestial General Chief Ba's eyes narrowed. 'Have I actually become the catalyst for their breakthrough?!'

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!

And just then, three Celestial Demon People appeared before Zhou Yuanjue and Jiang Jiushan.

BANG!!

Zhou Yuanjue's body suddenly swelled, turning blood-red all over. He spread his arms slightly, his terrifying back muscles looking almost like a pair of unfurled wings.

Samadhi Lamp Burning Realm, fully activated!!

On the other side, the skin over multiple Acupoints on Jiang Jiushan's body began to vibrate violently.

BANG!!

His body immediately inflated as if being pumped with air. His eyes turned a faint red from the engorged blood vessels. Behind him, the seated Ksitigarbha Dharma Image stood up and slowly formed a Hand Seal.

The Ksitigarbha Ten Wheel Seal, the Fearless Seal!

This was a powerful Secret Technique passed down in the Dizang Sect, one that combined Esoteric Seal Techniques with the body's Acupoints.

It used qi and blood as its pathways, Acupoints as its nodes, the body to form the seal, and the spirit to unite with the God!

Thus, it transformed the Hand Seal technique, which normally only had a supporting and intimidating effect, into a terrifying Secret Technique that could be used at any moment in battle to amplify the power of the Heart's Desire Bursting Out.

SHING SHING SHING!!

Zhou Yuanjue's body practically merged with the Firebird behind him. He swung his twin blades repeatedly, his movements as elegant and deadly as an eagle striking from the sky.

Meanwhile, the Ksitigarbha Dharma Image behind Jiang Jiushan, which had formed the Fearless Seal, unleashed intense psychic waves that intimidated all ghosts and demons. His twin maces in hand swung wide, sweeping across the battlefield with the force of a hurricane, whistling through the air.

Beneath the dim streetlights, shadows flickered amidst the glint of flashing blades.

In a mere instant, the two sides had already clashed for over a dozen rounds.

Five figures brushed past one another.

SCHLICK! SCHLICK!!

Thirteen new wounds appeared on Zhou Yuanjue's face, arms, thighs, and back, dripping with fresh blood.

A deep gash was sliced across Jiang Jiushan's face, revealing the stark white of his teeth and his blood-red gums. His earlobe was shattered by a thrust, spattering blood. Three deep claw marks were gouged into his abdomen, nearly disemboweling him.

Behind them, the three Celestial Demon People paused for a moment. The head of the speed-type Celestial Demon suddenly detached from its body, sending blood flying.

A deep indentation from a mace strike appeared on the chest of the claw-wielding Celestial Demon. Its internal organs were shattered, and it coughed up blood unceasingly.

As for the last, power-type Celestial Demon, both of its arms were severed from its body. Its left calf was shattered by a mace, causing it to instantly lose its balance and collapse to the ground.

The Flaming Giant Bird behind Zhou Yuanjue held a Celestial Demon Illusion in its beak. He took out the Demon-Catching Bottle from the tactical bag on his waist and, right in front of Celestial General Chief Ba, sealed the Celestial Demon Illusion inside.

The two slowly turned to face the figure that was radiating a terrifying, shadowy aura.

"Now, it's your turn," Zhou Yuanjue said, his expression calm. Behind him, the Flaming Giant Bird, now almost corporeal, flapped its wings restlessly, eager for action.

"Show us what you've really got. Otherwise, you can't beat us." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The wound on Jiang Jiushan's face made him look quite fearsome. He proactively adjusted the Acupoints on his body, activating the strongest of the Dizang Sect's Secret Techniques—the one Seal that consumed the most from both body and mind.

The Ksitigarbha Dharma Image behind him slowly returned from a standing to a seated posture. It gently rested its right hand on its knee and lightly touched its left hand to the ground.

A terrifying pressure began to radiate from his body.

The Ksitigarbha Ten Wheel Seal, the Demon Subduing Seal!

"Feeling proud? Feeling pleased with yourselves?"

"How foolish. You have no idea what kind of existence you are provoking."

Chief Ba's expression suddenly became calm.

THUMP!!

His heart began to beat like a war drum.

WHOOSH!!

Zhou Yuanjue and Jiang Jiushan clearly felt a light breeze begin to blow around them.

'The wind is picking up?!'

BOOM!!

The next moment, countless shadows surged forth from Chief Ba's body.

His human body also began to gradually expand and mutate.

Behind him, the shadows gradually condensed into a terrifying, armored demonic figure.

WHOOSH!!

Accompanied by a tangible, whistling wind, the demonic figure's armored arms shot out with extreme speed.

In that instant, the sky in their eyes seemed to grow dim.

It blotted out the sky and the sun, plunging the world into darkness!

SCREEE!!

The Flaming Giant Bird behind Zhou Yuanjue was instantly snatched by a massive hand and clenched in its fist.

On the other side, Jiang Jiushan faced the same predicament.

Moreover, it wasn't just a suppression of their Spiritual Will. The moment their manifested wills were caught, their physical bodies also felt a powerful sense of restraint.

Borrowing the illusory to cultivate the real, until the illusion becomes indistinguishable from reality!

"Did you really think you understood the difference between a Celestial General and those beneath that rank?"

A savage smile appeared on Chief Ba's face as the hands gripping the Flaming Giant Bird and the Ksitigarbha Dharma Image squeezed hard.

PUFF!!

The manifestations of will behind the two men distorted violently, on the verge of collapse. At the same time, they both spat out a mouthful of crimson blood.

The damage to their wills had actually been transferred to their physical bodies.

...

...

「Meanwhile, in the temporary headquarters outside the quarantine zone.」

"Something's wrong with the situation over at Groups A3 and B2!"

A staff member took a deep breath and spoke to Chen Lingyun in a grave tone.

"What's the situation over there?"

Chen Lingyun hurried over and looked at the surveillance monitor, her pupils instantly contracting.

Through the surveillance camera, she could actually see dust floating and gathering around Zhou Yuanjue's and Jiang Jiushan's enemy, vaguely forming the shape of a terrifying demonic figure.

'A surveillance camera, which can only observe the material world, shouldn't be able to capture a spiritual image that can only be perceived with the Spirit. This meant that the image was a scene that truly existed in the physical world. And to achieve that...'

'A Life Magnetic Field... and the Manifestation of the God through the True Spirit.'

'There's a General Level Celestial Demon hiding in the quarantine zone?'
