Whoosh!
A violent air-piercing sound came. Li Jikang looked over and his expression changed. He shouted, "Not good, it's Blood Buddha Temple's Xiao Toutuo."
"Xiao Toutuo?"
Ding Ning frowned slightly and looked over. He saw a fat, bald, and blood-robed monk running toward him at a speed that was disproportionate to his figure. He subconsciously repeated the words.
Zhou Lei did not seem to be good at talking. He rarely interrupted before, but at this moment, his eyes were filled with deep fear. He whispered quickly, "Senior, this Xiao Toutuo is Amitabha's senior brother. Although his cultivation realm is similar to Amitabha's, his strength is countless times stronger. Don't be fooled by this person's smiling and harmless appearance. In fact, he is the most sinister and cruel. He also cultivates an evil technique that can instantly suck the enemy's blood dry and increase their blood evil power."
Ding Ning was not afraid after hearing this. Instead, he felt relieved. With his current increased strength, even if he encountered Gray Shadow again, he could still fight back. This Xiao Toutuo was only peak pericelestial. Even if he was at the peak of Soul Formation, why would he be afraid?
Moreover, there were no world shackles here and the space was stable enough. If he attacked without any worries, as long as the Blood Buddha Temple did not send a true Immortal Realm expert to deal with him, even if he could not win, he could still protect himself.
"Senior, I will immediately ask for help from above. This Blood Buddha Temple did not abide by the agreement. This is too much."
Li Jikang said angrily.
"No need. A mere pericelestial can't do anything to me."
Ding Ning's expression was calm as he said lightly.
Li Jikang and Zhou Lei were stunned when they heard that. Then, they smiled in realization. The fear and worry hidden in their eyes disappeared instantly.
Yes, senior is an Immemorial Heavenly Sovereign. Although his injuries have not fully healed and his cultivation has fallen, a Heavenly Sovereign can easily deal with a mere peak pericelestial.
With a rumble, the ground shook slightly and dust flew up.
Laughing Toutuo landed on the ground like a cannonball, creating a deep pit. His blood-colored Buddhist robe was unbuttoned, and a layer of fat on his belly rippled like waves. He stared at Ding Ning with a smile. "Are you the one who killed my martial nephew and destroyed my junior brother's body?"
"Yes, it's me."
Ding Ning said in a deep voice.
His expression was calm as he sized up this Laughing Toutuo. This guy was not tall, almost a head shorter than him, but he was extremely fat, weighing at least three hundred pounds. He wore a blood-red Buddhist robe, and a string of fist-sized Buddhist beads hung around his folded neck. He had a square face, big ears, and a wide smile on his face. If it were not for the cold viper-like killing intent flashing in the depths of his eyes, he would look exactly like a smiling Maitreya.
"Eldest Senior Brother, he was the one who killed Chi Wu and destroyed my physical body. You have to take revenge for me. Don't kill him immediately. I want to pull out his tendons, peel off his bones, skin him, and refine his soul. Only then can I dispel the hatred in my heart."
Amitabha's soul suddenly leaped out from the prayer beads on Xiao Toutuo's chest and roared with a resentful voice that made one's heart turn cold.
"Junior Brother, don't be agitated. This guy is a Body Cultivator. Pulling out his tendons, peeling off his bones, and skinning him is too much of a waste. It just so happens that you have lost your physical body, so I will destroy his soul and let you possess his physical body. It will be countless times stronger than your own physical body."
Xiao Toutuo said with a smile, but the words he said made people's hearts turn cold.
"So he is a Body Cultivator. No wonder, no wonder he was not injured by my palm. Why didn't I think of it? Senior Brother is really experienced and knowledgeable. You can see it at a glance. Good, very good. This physical body is mine."
Amitabha said with a sudden realization and was overjoyed. He stared at Ding Ning with a fiery gaze and a drooling look, as if this physical body was already in his pocket.
Ding Ning slightly narrowed his eyes and was a little surprised that this Laughing Toutuo's eyesight could actually see that he had refined his physical body.
But then he smiled and did not care. After all, he did not simply refine his physical body. If this Laughing Toutuo knew that his physical body was comparable to the Immortal Realm, he did not know if he would still have the courage to stand in front of him and boast shamelessly about possessing his physical body.
"Don't worry, you will get what you want in a moment. However, you must remember your promise."
Xiao Toutuo reminded Ding Ning meaningfully. It seemed that Amitabha had to pay a price for asking him to help.
"Eldest Brother, don't worry. You helped me take revenge and also helped me obtain a physical body of a Body Cultivator. In the future, I will definitely follow Eldest Brother's lead and fully support Eldest Brother to become the new Blood Buddha."
Amitabha vowed. It was not that he had no ambition for the Blood Buddha, but he knew his own limits. In terms of cultivation level, he was similar to many of his fellow brothers, but in terms of real strength, he was at the bottom. Now that his physical body had been destroyed, his strength had fallen greatly. To be able to obtain a physical body of a Body Cultivator was already enough to make him satisfied.
"Okay, then today Eldest Brother will help you take revenge and rebuild your physical body."
Xiao Toutuo said with a high-spirited laugh.
Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and a terrifying amount of origin energy quickly gathered. It quickly condensed into a spiritual palm of half a meter in size on his fat hand and slammed towards Ding Ning's head.
Ding Ning curled his lips in disdain. This Xiao Toutuo had underestimated him too much. He didn't even use his magical power and wanted to use a combat skill to deal with him. He was too arrogant.
"Senior, be careful."
Unexpectedly, Li Jikang, who had already hidden to the side, let out a cry. This made Ding Ning's heart tremble. Could it be that there was something mysterious about this Xiao Toutuo's palm?
In the next moment, he saw that after the spiritual palm condensed, it continued to crazily absorb the rich spiritual energy around it. In the blink of an eye, the spiritual palm that was originally only half a meter in size turned into a terrifying giant palm that covered the sky. It whistled and slammed towards Ding Ning's head.
It was not a combat skill, but a magical power.
Ding Ning suddenly reacted. Xiao Toutuo, Xiao Toutuo, he was really a sinister smiling tiger. He had tricked him without batting an eyelid.
But so what? If it was before the battle with Gray Shadow, it was very likely that he would suffer a great loss because he underestimated his enemy. But now …
To borrow a phrase from Gray Shadow, in the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks were vulnerable.
"Howl!"
Ding Ning raised his head and let out a long howl that sounded like a dragon's roar. His figure suddenly became illusory and distorted in the howl. A terrifying shadow of the law came out of his body and moved along a mysterious but seemingly disorderly trajectory. The chaotic aura instantly caused the spiritual energy within a radius of five miles to boil and riot, scurrying around like headless flies.
Laughing Toutuo's meticulously planned magical power could not be avoided. The huge spiritual power handprint was less than half a meter away from Ding Ning's head. It collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into nothingness.
"No, this is impossible. You are only a Demigod. How can you control the power of the order of the world that only the Immortal can control?"
The ferocious smile on Xiao Toutuo's face stiffened. He roared in disbelief and horror. His gaze towards Ding Ning was already filled with fear.
Li Jikang and Zhou Lei's hearts, which had been hanging in their throats, instantly fell to the ground. Their gazes towards Xiao Toutuo were already filled with pity. Senior was an Immemorial Heavenly Sovereign. What was so strange about being able to use the Immortal's power of the order of the world?
Ding Ning's heart skipped a beat. Although he did not show it on his face, he secretly felt that it was funny. What power of the order of the world? I only used the chaotic laws to disturb the space. I didn't expect Xiao Toutuo to misunderstand it as the power of order that only Immortal experts could control.
Of course, he naturally would not expose this. After all, he was currently a fake Immemorial Heavenly Sovereign. Xiao Toutuo's misunderstanding could be considered as proof of his lie, causing Li Jikang and Zhou Lei to believe in his identity even more.
In this case, even if the Heavenly Court's army was filled with Immortal experts and Immortal experts, an Immemorial Heavenly Sovereign expert whose cultivation had fallen would still receive enough attention from the upper echelons of the Heavenly Court. He might even be personally received by Sect Leader Tongtian and be roped in because of this.
However, this also allowed him to vaguely understand what the so-called Immortal realm and Immortal realm experts were all about. Entering the Immortal realm meant comprehending the laws, walking out of one's own path, and being able to borrow the laws of the world.
On the other hand, Soul Transformation meant fusing with the world, leaving a mark in the Heavenly Dao, obtaining the recognition of the world, and being able to freely control the laws of the world.
However, no matter what, even a peak Soul Transformation expert could only borrow the power of the laws of the world. It was like a tenant whose property did not belong to him. Even if he wanted to hammer a nail into the wall, he would need to obtain the landlord's permission.
Immortal realm experts were different. They were like the owner of a house. They could do whatever they wanted in their house, as long as they did not tear down the bearing walls and create hidden dangers.
In other words, Immortal realm experts could not only use the laws of the world at will, but they could also change the laws of the world and form their own set of laws.
Of course, this change had to be carried out within a range that the Heavenly Dao could bear. In other words, it could only be carried out within a certain range. They could change the laws of the world on a small scale, form their own set of laws, and control a small part of the world, becoming a ruler.
As for what the Dao Realm was, he suddenly had an indescribable understanding.
Once a cultivator controlled too much of the world, to the point that even the Heavenly Dao could not tolerate it, then the Heavenly Dao would definitely view them as plotting to usurp the throne, and carry out a destructive punishment.
In that case, if the Immortal Heavenly Sovereign wanted to be unrestrained and break free from the Heavenly Dao's restraints, there were only two paths he could take.
The first was to fight against the Heavenly Dao and use his heaven-defying strength and the dao he formed to suppress the Heavenly Dao, thereby transcending the Heavenly Dao and achieving great freedom. The second was to absorb a large amount of the world's origin, causing the Heavenly Dao, which did not have a consciousness, to view the cultivator as one of its kind. From then on, the power of the heavenly punishment would decrease, and if the cultivator survived the heavenly tribulation, he could also become a Dao Realm expert.
However, the first type of heaven-defying cultivation was to use their own dao to resist the Heavenly Dao and forcefully break through to the Dao Realm, forming their own origin dao. Their strength was not something that could be compared to those who absorbed the world's origin and broke through to the Dao Realm, and they would be able to go further in the future.
After understanding this, Ding Ning's mood suddenly became heavy. Cultivators who cultivated against the heavens were fighting against fate. If they absorbed the world's origin and used deceptive methods to weaken the power of the heavenly tribulation in order to break through to the Dao Realm, even if they succeeded, they would lack a courageous heart and would become the weakest Dao Realm, and their future achievements would be extremely limited.
However, he had awakened the bloodline of the Three Venerables and contained the world's origin. When he broke through to the Dao Realm, would the Heavenly Dao think that he was one of its kind and reduce the power of the heavenly punishment, limiting his future achievements?
Although he was still far from breaking through to the Dao Realm, this was a problem he had to consider. After all, he would not allow himself to become a weak Dao Realm expert.
At this moment, he felt enlightened and suddenly understood why he felt that he would regret breaking through to the Immortal Realm like this for the rest of his life.
The Demigod Realm was the last step of Foundation Establishment, and it was also the most important realm. Only in this realm could one polish one's foundation until it was flawless, solid, and flawless, and establish the belief that one was invincible. In the future, one would be able to forcefully overcome the Dao Realm Heavenly Tribulation and become the strongest Dao Realm expert.
