All the cultivators looked at Ping Yang Town with widened eyes in disbelief.
“Could it be…”
“Desolate Martial broke through?”
“T-That’s impossible!”
“Desolate Martial is in his twilight years and is on the brink of death. How can he still have the energy to step into the Dharma Characteristic realm?”
The crowd was in an uproar!
Even though they were seeing it personally, the cultivators were unwilling to believe it.
Their group had mobilized a large force to come and fight for Desolate Martial’s inheritance.
If Desolate Martial broke through and entered the Dharma Characteristic realm, his lifespan would increase to 10,000 years and it would mean that he was no longer in danger of dying!
If Desolate Martial was in his peak condition, who would dare lay a hand on his belongings?!
What was even more terrifying was that there were too few cultivators in the North Region who could suppress Desolate Martial now that he was at the Dharma Characteristic realm – the impact on the North Region was unimaginable!
It did not matter if everyone believed it or not.
In the skies of Ping Yang Town, the gigantic vortex was getting bigger and its color was turning black, as though it was dyed with ink!
The vortex was extremely domineering and absorbed the Dharmic powers of the world continuously.
Not only that, even the Dharmic powers within the bodies of cultivators five kilometers away surged and seeped out, wanting to be devoured by the gigantic black vortex!
“I-Impossible!”
Dao Lord Fei Ming of Dragon Tiger Sect shook his head repeatedly with a shocked expression.
The reason why the hundred-odd Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords dared to come to Ping Yang Town was because Desolate Martial was in his twilight years and his blood qi was weak.
If Desolate Martial was at the Dharma Characteristic realm, none of them would be a match for him!
“What are you panicking for?!”
The Conjoint Body Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect hollered, “With me guarding this place, it won’t matter even if that lad, Desolate Martial, enters the Dharma Characteristic realm!”
This Conjoint Body Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect was a Grand Elder of the sect. He was in seclusion all year round and had never heard of Desolate Martial.
“E-Elder, you don’t u-understand,”
Dao Lord Fei Ming gulped and said in shock, “That Desolate Martial already condensed a Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic when he was at the Void Reversion realm!”
“What?”
The Conjoint Body Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect frowned and exclaimed.
He had lived for more than 10,000 years and even with his experience, he had never heard of such a situation.
Dao Lord Fei Ming continued, “Furthermore, his Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic is 80 feet tall!”
He could condense an 80 feet tall Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic at the Void Reversion realm?
“Bullshit!”
The Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect who was initially skeptical could not help but berate angrily when he heard that.
Dao Lord Fei Ming said, “Elder, ever since Desolate Martial started cultivating, he has never tasted defeat and has many trump cards that can kill opponents above his level! I’m talking about a major cultivation realm difference!”
The Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect was even more unconvinced. Enraged, he said coldly, “Why? You mean to say that this lad can kill me the moment he enters the Dharma Characteristic realm?”
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
Dao Lord Fei Ming explained hurriedly, “I just want you to be careful, elder. It’s nothing much.”
“Humph!”
The Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect sneered and berated, “I’ll let you guys know today that the difference between the Dharma Characteristic and Conjoint Body realm is not something you can imagine!”
“Even if that lad can conjure a Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic that’s 80 feet tall, I’ll be able to shatter it with my mere body!”
Conjoint Body was the fusion of the physical body and Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic.
Upon entering the Conjoint Body realm, every single action of his contained the power of Heaven and Earth and the might of the universe!
At that moment, the black vortex above Ping Yang Town was getting larger and larger, as if it was connecting Heaven and Earth.
“Look! W-What’s that?”
Some cultivators pointed at the gigantic black vortex with trembling voices.
Within the black vortex, a figure could be seen faintly. Initially, it was a little blurry but as time passed, it became increasingly clear!
The tall figure was clad in black armor and was shrouded in fiend qi, unexcelled in the world. He wielded a gigantic black scythe that was chilling!
“Ah, it’s Desolate Martial’s Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic!”
“That’s right, this Heavenly Fiend Dharma Body defeated Dao Lord Xuan Yu!”
A wave of shock and astonishment could be heard from the crowd.
The tall figure remained motionless within the black vortex and his figure rose continuously!
10 feet!
30 feet.
50 feet.
80 feet!
Before long, the Heavenly Fiend Dharma Body rose to a height of 80 feet!
However, that trend did not stop!
Once a Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic was 80 feet, every single increase thereafter was exceedingly difficult.
But now, in the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Fiend Dharma Body had already climbed to a height of 85 feet!
At that moment, the cultivators of Dark Ghost Sect, Seven Kills Sect, Blood Mist Sect, Yuwen Clan and other major sects and factions were silent with pale faces!
The fact that his Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic was 85 feet tall right after he entered the Dharma Characteristic realm was unimaginable!
Even in the golden ancient era, there was probably no human paragon that could reach such a height!
As one’s cultivation advanced, their Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic would also strengthen.
He was already able to condense a Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic that was 85 feet tall at the early-stage Dharma Characteristic realm.
If he were to cultivate to the perfected Dharma Characteristic realm, there was a high chance that this Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic would become a 90 feet tall Supreme Dharma Characteristic!
The expression of the Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect turned extremely terrible as well.
Under normal circumstances, Conjoint Body Mighty Figures could indeed suppress Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords with ease.
However, a Dharma Characteristic’s Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic at this stage could definitely go against a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure!
In the black vortex, the Heavenly Fiend Dharma Body stood upright with a black scythe in his hands. Two cold beams of light shone from his eyes as he looked down at the world with a torrential aura!
In the face of this Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic, other Dharma Characteristics were insignificant like ants beneath its feet!
Even the aura of the Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect was disadvantaged against the 85 feet tall Heavenly Fiend Dharma Body!
All of a sudden!
The Heavenly Fiend Dharma Body moved!
With that step, it strode right out of Ping Yang Town.
Instantly, the ground shook and the weather changed!
“Old man, die!”
The Heavenly Fiend Dharma Body let out a shuddering roar!
Immediately after, the Heavenly Fiend Dharma Body raised its arm and the scythe drew a perfect black arc in midair, slicing the void into two as it slashed towards the Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect!
“Ah!”
The Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect did not dare to be careless. He threw away the whip in his hands and took out a steel truncheon from his storage bag, smashing it fiercely towards the black scythe!
Boom!
The two weapons collided with a loud bang!
The Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect shuddered and a shocked expression appeared on his face. He fell and opened his mouth, spitting out a mouthful of blood!
The Heavenly Fiend Dharma Body was one of the strongest Dharma Characteristics of the fiend sects.
A height of 85 feet was not something an ordinary Conjoint Body Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect could defend against!
Endless fiend qi coiled towards the Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect like pitch-black anacondas.
In that moment of life and death, the Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect risked his life and channeled his blood qi with all his might, summoning many talismans and Dharmic weapons to defend against the corrosion of the fiend qi!
Without the Dharmic powers of the Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect supporting it, the Demon Suppressing Rope could no longer restrain Night Spirit.
Nobody noticed that Night Spirit had already vanished, leaving nothing but a pile of broken ropes with a dim glow.
Just as the Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect was trying his best to defend against the attack of the Heavenly Fiend Dharma Body, a phantom-like figure flashed beside him and fused into the pitch-black fiend qi, almost invisible!
“Pfft!”
A palm appeared above the head of the Mighty Figure of Dragon Tiger Sect!
The fingers were sharp and pierced his head!
