Rumble!
At that moment, Lin Buzheng stood where he was. His aura was perfectly integrated with the earth beneath him.
As time passed, the earth's spiritual energy surged out from the depths of the earth and turned into an incomparably terrifying spiritual energy vortex. It surrounded Lin Buzheng and quickly replenished the physical strength he had consumed in the previous battle.
Whoosh!
Ten minutes later, with a soft sound, as if he was hallucinating, Lin Buzheng's body quickly faded and disappeared. He turned into light yellow Spiritual Qi and rushed into the depths of the earth.
Like a fish in water, he moved through the depths of the earth without any hindrance.
Although he didn't have a real body, he was more sensitive to his surroundings. It was as if the area within a few hundred feet had become his new body.
He moved extremely fast. He could travel a few hundred feet in the blink of an eye. Such a terrifying speed was comparable to an expert at the peak of the Spirit Path.
Lin Buzheng traveled through the depths of the earth for a long time, experiencing the wonderful feeling of being one with the earth.
Two hours later, the Earth God's divine power was temporarily exhausted. He reluctantly came out from the depths of the earth and turned into a human again.
Without a doubt, after Lin Buzheng's Nine-Colored Demon Bull evolved into the Shalopi, his strength had increased tremendously. It could be said to be earth-shattering.
Of course, although the Great Earth Absorption and the Earth Escape Technique were extremely powerful, they also had their limitations.
With the Shalopi, Lin Buzheng could continuously absorb power from the earth under his feet. However, this power could only make up for his own consumption. It could not break through the upper limit of his strength.
If he encountered an opponent whose strength was much higher than his, even if he could hold on for a while longer, he would not be able to avoid death.
Therefore, this kind of Earth Escape was only suitable for a battle of attrition. It could not be used to defeat the strong.
The second was the Earth Escape. Although this ability was magical, it could turn one's flesh and blood into Earth Spiritual Qi and travel through the depths of the earth at an extreme speed.
But in reality, the body of Spiritual Qi formed by the Earth Escape was extremely fragile compared to the real body.
Once the environment of the earth changed, there was a high chance that the spirit body would be heavily injured.
Therefore, the Earth Escape ability was only suitable for traveling. If one tried to use the Earth Escape ability to escape in a dangerous situation, not only would it be useless, it would only cause one to die faster.
Generally speaking, although Lin Buzheng's Shalupi Divine Power was extremely powerful, it was far from being comparable to the original Shalupi God's power.
Regarding this, although Lin Buzheng felt regretful, he was not envious.
Although Lin Buzheng's Shalupi divine ability looked exactly the same as the Shalupi God's projection summoned by the burly man, there was a fundamental difference between them.
If the burly man wanted to borrow the power of the Salupi God, he would first have to worship this god with all his heart and soul. Then, he would have to offer blood sacrifices to the god every once in a while.
That was the only way to communicate with the remaining divinity of the Salupi God and obtain its power.
However, Lin Buzheng didn't need to do that. After he devoured the Shalupi God's projection, the divine power of this god had been completely transformed into a part of his own power. Later on, Lin Buzheng's divine power would be the source of his power.
The newly born Earth Divine Power had no connection with the Shalupi God.
Both ways to obtain divine power had their own advantages and disadvantages.
Because the burly man used faith and blood sacrifices to exchange for the divine power of the god, the more devout he was, the more precious the blood and bones he offered, and the more powerful the divine power he could get.
Theoretically speaking, if the burly man's faith in the Salopi God was fanatical enough, he could sacrifice the bodies of the gods, such as the divine sons and saintesses, in exchange for a terrifying divine power, which could even rival Ancient Saints and Emperors.
But Lin Buzheng was different. After the Nine-colored Demon Cow absorbed the divine power, the power of the Earth Divine Power came from the Martial True Yuan in its body, and it had nothing to do with the Shalupi God.
The stronger Lin Buzheng was, the denser the Martial True Yuan in his body was, the stronger the power of the Earth Divine Power would be, and vice versa.
Without a doubt, before Lin Buzheng's strength could be compared to the god's, the peak power of the Earth Divine Power would never be able to compare to the ultimate divine power obtained through faith and sacrifice.
However, although the divine power obtained through faith was powerful, the side effects were also terrifying.
If a martial artist had too much faith in the god, it would undoubtedly affect their understanding of the martial way.
Even if they could temporarily exchange their faith for divine power, it would actually cut off their martial way's path, and the loss outweighed the gain.
Because of this, the sects that believed in the god had never been able to produce a true Martial Venerable.
In addition, during the process of believing in the god, the martial artists themselves would be gradually assimilated by the god's characteristics.
For example, if they believed in the God of War, they would become irritable, bloodthirsty, and warlike. If they believed in the God of Conspiracy, their minds would become dark and twisted. If they believed in the God of Slaughter, they would hate life and desire to kill …
The deeper the martial artist's faith, the more they would be affected by the god.
In fact, some martial artists who believed in the Evil God would eventually have their entire body and soul taken away by the Evil God. They would completely lose their sense of self and become the Evil God's puppet, living a life worse than death.
Because of this, Lin Buzheng was not envious of the power of the Salupi God's projection.
No matter how strong the power was, it was only a tool used by the martial artist.
No matter when, the martial artist must be the one controlling the power, not the power controlling the martial artist.
Countless tragic and bloody examples in the martial world proved that once the order was reversed, even if the martial artist temporarily benefited from it, the final outcome would be destruction!
"Oh no!"
"I can't use the Four Symbols Overlord Fist …"
In the next moment, Lin Buzheng's heart skipped a beat. He felt that as the Nine-Colored Demon Cow's Divine Power evolved into the Salupi God's Divine Power, the balance between the four Divine Powers that represented the Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire Forces was instantly broken.
The Four Symbols Overlord Fist that he had just learned was instantly broken and could not be used.
"Looks like I'll have to improve the remaining three Divine Powers to the same level as the Salupi God's Divine Power before I can use the Four Symbols Overlord Fist again …"
Lin Buzheng mumbled to himself. Although it was a pity, there was nothing he could do. He could only pay more attention in the following days and act according to the circumstances.
While Lin Buzheng and the burly man were engaged in an intense battle.
There was a pitch-black cave deep in the mountains a few thousand li away.
It was pitch-black and terrifying, like an evil beast opening its bloody mouth, trying to devour the entire world.
Gusts of cold wind blew from the depths of the cave, bringing with it a thick smell of blood, as if the depths of the cave contained an endless sea of corpses and blood.
At the entrance of the cave, there was a stone plaque hanging high. On it were three words written in bright red blood.
