Chapter 575 The Three Enclosures Stabilize the Void
"The Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth?"
Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed slightly, not expecting Zhu Wu to bring him such a surprise.
The ten-foot-tall Dharma image didn't even make a move; it merely hovered in the air, yet the powerful aura it exuded caused Chen Beiwu to feel a strong sense of crisis.
"Roar!" "Woof!" "Hey!" "Eek!"
The four little guys, Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling, all had their pupils contract and their eyes showed fear.
"How is it? This is the supreme pure Yang profound understanding I attained after experiencing life and death in the Six Harmonies Blessed Land!"
Blood trickled from the corner of Zhu Wu's mouth, and the golden core and nascent soul within her body faintly emitted mournful cries of unbearable burden.
But there was no other way. Faced with a peerless genius like Chen Beiwu, how could he find a chance of victory without putting him to death?
"It's really good, but it's still lacking something."
Seeing through Zhu Wu's true intentions, Chen Beiwu quickly regained his composure.
The Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth is a supreme and profound power that only a True Venerable of the Transformation God can master.
Zhu Wu was merely a Nascent Soul Peak True Monarch. Even if he used the power of the Pure Yang Dao Fruit and the profound immortal techniques to achieve the ultimate sublimation, he would still find it difficult to bear the might of the Dharma Image Heaven and Earth.
To put it bluntly, although the ten-foot-tall Dharma image in front of us has a powerful aura, it cannot be called a "Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth". At most, it is just the prototype of that supreme profound power.
"Is that so? Then let me show you the full power of the Pure Yang Six Harmonies Form!"
Zhu Wu formed the Pure Yang Dharma Mudra with both hands, one finger pointing to the sky and the other to the earth, his expression solemn, resonating with the Dharma image behind him.
boom!
boom!
boom!
As Zhu Wu's physical body merged with the Pure Yang Six Harmonies, an extremely terrifying aura swept across the fighting platform, suppressing the space and transforming this world into a Pure Yang world, a kingdom of fire.
The next instant, a phantom image of the sun appeared in Zhu Wu's pupils. She stretched out her left index finger, pointed at Chen Beiwu, and slowly pressed down.
Rumble!
Before the fingertips even arrived, the void twisted, and the ultimate pure Yang Six Harmonies Fire burned away the spiritual energy, causing the ground of the dueling platform to melt inch by inch, scorching out a ten-zhang-deep lava pit.
Chen Beiwu stood motionless, his hair flying in the wind, his Jade Purity Daoist robe clinging to his body in the hot air, yet his eyes remained calm, as if the Pure Yang Six Harmonies power pressed down by Zhu Wuyi's finger was a gentle breeze caressing his face.
Meanwhile, in the stands.
Chen Dong suddenly sat up straight, his eyes fixed on Chen Beiwu on the dueling platform, his worry barely concealed.
His cultivation level was low, far inferior to that of his own child, yet he could clearly sense the power of that ten-foot-tall Dharma image.
It's no exaggeration to say that even with the protective array of the stands, Chen Dong's heart was racing, his mouth was dry, and he felt an overwhelming sense of despair.
That was a power that cultivators simply could not contend with!
Huang Xiaoling gripped her husband's hand tightly with her left hand, her palm sweaty, and closed her eyes, unable to look: "Can Beiwu win?"
"We can definitely win! When has Beiwu ever let us down!"
Chen Dong turned around and squeezed his wife's hand tightly.
Beside them, Xu Lingling and Xu Ziqing looked tense, their entire focus on the dueling platform, not wanting to miss a single detail of the battle.
"Woof woof woof!"
Just then, a deafening bark suddenly rang out.
A dark figure bristled with fur, its body covered in dense, golden patterns. It then transformed into a streak of brilliant fire and shot out, blocking Chen Beiwu's path. It activated its immortal technique and entered the Great Heavenly Purification Prison form, intending to contend with Zhu Wu's Dharma Image.
"How dare a mere ant shake the power of heaven and earth!"
Zhu Wu had no idea that Tie Dan existed. He gathered all the power of the Pure Yang Six Harmonies with his index finger, intending to defeat Chen Beiwu in one blow.
"tread!"
"tread!"
"tread!"
Unexpectedly, the next second, under Zhu Wu's incredulous gaze, Chen Beiwu stood with his hands behind his back, then calmly turned around, walked away from her, and headed off the stage, as if victory was already in his grasp and he had won the contest.
"How dare you do this!" Zhu Wu felt a surge of anger.
He spared no effort to push the power of the Dao Fruit to its limit, even willing to bear the heavy price of being assimilated by the Pure Yang Dao Fruit, all in order to complete a peak duel with Chen Beiwu, thereby condensing his own will, forging his true self, and glimpsing the hope of achieving great success in immortal techniques, increasing his probability of becoming a true deity in the future by 20%.
As a result, Chen Beiwu did not use the Primordial Northern Emperor's Edict, which was enough to easily suppress Gu Yong, allowing him to comprehend the Dao in the midst of the battle!
Could it be that Chen Beiwu knew he couldn't contend with the Dharma Image Heaven and Earth and was destined to lose, so he chose to voluntarily step down and admit defeat?
In the instant Zhu Wu's thoughts turned, Tie Dan, empowered by Chen Beiwu's True Dharma Power, with the Great Sun Golden Pattern surging forth, suddenly opened his purple vertical eyes on his forehead.
Within his vertical gaze, the pupils were pitch black, yet a golden light flickered and shone deep within—it was none other than Tie Dan's awakened Creation Yuan Technique, [Stabilizing Time].
In an instant, heaven and earth froze, time itself stopped, and Zhu Wu's outstretched index finger abruptly stopped, unable to continue crushing down.
However, because the difference between Tie Dan and Chunyang Liuhe Xiang is extremely large, this time freeze cannot be maintained for long.
A fifth of a breath has passed.
Tie Dan's vertical pupils on his forehead closed, his energy plummeted, and he couldn't stop Zhu Wu from continuing to grind down with his index finger.
But Tie Dan showed no fear. He turned and followed Chen Beiwu off the stage without glancing at Zhu Wu again.
The outcome is decided!
Chen Beiwu took two steps and spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wu's expression changed drastically. He felt the Pure Yang Six Harmony Manifestation Power that had been fused within his body tremble violently, as if a wild horse had broken free and was constantly attacking him. Even the power of the Dao Fruit could not suppress it.
"puff!"
Zhu Wu coughed up blood, and the Pure Yang Six Harmony Image fused within his body collapsed with a roar, turning into specks of light and dissipating into the world. His vital energy was severely damaged, and he could only kneel on one knee, panting heavily.
"Wait—wait a minute!" he called out to Chen Beiwu.
Chen Beiwu paused, but did not turn around.
"What did you do?" Zhu Wu asked in a hoarse voice.
"I didn't do anything. As the ancient texts of the Immortal Alliance say: 'Strength cannot be relied upon, for reliance on it leads to easy defeat; only by controlling strength in one's heart can one achieve ultimate power.'"
Chen Beiwu didn't turn around, but commented: "Your Dharma power is indeed very strong, but what's the use of having such strong power?"
You can't even control your own power; you're ultimately a rootless duckweed, vulnerable and easily defeated. What makes you think you can fight me?
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wu fell silent.
The Pure Yang Six Harmonies Profound Understanding that he painstakingly comprehended through life and death was so easily defeated in Chen Beiwu's eyes!
Zhu Wu had no way to refute this, because Chen Beiwu hadn't made many moves. He had only sent out a peak demon king, who, with the blessing of the Tongcan Contract, easily found the loophole in the Pure Yang Six Harmonies and defeated him across the border.
"Been taught a lesson!"
Upon seeing Chen Beiwu's figure, Zhu Wu realized what was happening and gave a slight bow.
In his obsession with gaining overwhelming power and winning the Cave Heaven Competition, he put the cart before the horse and has already fallen into a low-level trap. Fortunately, Chen Beiwu gave him some pointers.
"No need for thanks. At your age, you can use the power of the Dharma Image, even if it is only a rudimentary form. You are proud enough. An ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarch would not be able to find the flaw in your Pure Yang Six Dharma Image."
Chen Beiwu also gave Zhu Wu a hand, saving face for Chunyang Cave Heaven.
"Jade Purity Immortal Sect, Chen Beiwu victorious!"
Elder Guangyu gave Chen Beiwu a deep look and announced.
He had thought that Chen Beiwu would use the Primordial Great Perfection Immortal Technique to defeat Zhu Wufaxiang head-on, but he did not expect that the other party would win the victory effortlessly by using a method that deflects a thousand pounds with four ounces of force.
It is evident that Chen Beiwu is not only a prodigy in comprehension, but also possesses extremely sophisticated combat experience, on par with veteran Nascent Soul cultivators of the Immortal Alliance.
"Congratulations to our top senior brother on securing another victory!"
As soon as he stepped off the stage, Chen Beiwu heard congratulations from his fellow disciples.
Chen Beiwu exchanged a few casual pleasantries, then turned his gaze to the stands, meeting his parents' eyes.
Returning home in wealth and honor is like wearing brocade at night.
Fortunately, I had friends and family to witness my victory in this year's Dongtian Grand Competition; otherwise, it would have been quite boring.
Suddenly, Chen Beiwu noticed a cold gaze. He looked up sharply and saw where the gaze was coming from.
At the top of the Cloud and Clouds Viewing Platform, a noble woman of unparalleled beauty, whose appearance defies description, was looking at him.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, Chen Beiwu felt the vibration of the Nine Breaths Chaos, and at the same time, the figure of the peerless beauty in his eyes disappeared, replaced by an ineffable phenomenon of fortune.
The purple aura was like clouds, layer upon layer, like a lotus in full bloom. The outermost layer of aura was light purple, and then it gradually changed inward. The innermost layer of aura was darker, almost like ink purple, but it was clearly different from the calamity and misfortune of dark clouds covering the sky. It contained a trace of extremely noble golden halo.
Chen Beiwu had traveled between the Southern Wilderness and the Immortal Alliance, and had seen many cultivators with great fortune, but he had never seen such astonishing fortune.
It's no exaggeration to say that, in terms of extraordinary aura alone, even Aji, whose "purple clouds form a boundary" and "auspicious clouds mark the boundary," pales in comparison to this stunningly beautiful woman.
Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu nodded slightly in greeting and naturally looked away.
There are many talented and powerful individuals in the Taiyin Cave Heaven, but there are very few True Monarchs who can "use auspicious clouds as their territory and purple-gold as their crown".
Coupled with that somewhat familiar face, Chen Beiwu knew without much thought that this person was Gu Qinghan, the Taiyin Saintess, who was famous throughout the Immortal Alliance and could be called the most outstanding genius in the Immortal Alliance.
"The Immortal Alliance's foundation is indeed formidable, far surpassing that of the Southern Wilderness!" Chen Beiwu's heart skipped a beat.
There is a connection between powerful individuals, and with just one glance, he knew that the reputation was well-deserved and that Gu Qinghan, the Holy Maiden of Taiyin, was definitely a powerhouse far surpassing a True Monarch.
As for whether he was at the half-step Nascent Soul stage or had already broken through the barrier to becoming a True Venerable, a single glance was far too insignificant to provide enough information, so Chen Beiwu dared not make a hasty judgment.
Soon, the battle between Xuanyuan Cave Heaven and Yuyu Cave Heaven came to a conclusion.
Che Zhengyuan seemed to be hiding his strength by not revealing too many profound abilities. He simply summoned the Nine-Colored Deer and used a war of attrition to wear down Xuanyuan Yu to death.
Even when Xuanyuan Yu used the method of combining his body with the sword, he was unable to break through Che Zhengyuan's flawless defense in a short time and was eventually defeated due to exhaustion.
The next morning.
On the dueling platform, Che Zhengyuan's expression was cold and stern until Chen Beiwu's figure appeared.
"I am good at defense, not offense."
Che Zhengyuan looked up at Chen Beiwu, making no attempt to conceal the flaws in his own cultivation method, and said calmly, "If you can break through my defenses, I will admit defeat."
Seeing the other party's confidence, Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow and gestured, "Please."
Upon hearing this, Che Zhengyuan did not stand on ceremony. The ring on his finger shone brightly, and the void behind him twisted, forming three silver-white light gates in the blink of an eye.
The next instant, three doors of light opened simultaneously:
A nine-colored deer with nine-pronged antlers and a rainbow halo around its body stands on the air.
With each step it took, the void folded over on its own, revealing its profound mastery of the art of space.
A giant, silvery-white ray swam through the void.
Its body is flat and about four zhang wide. Its eyes are located on its back, and there are countless points of light appearing and disappearing deep in its pupils. It is the Huaxu Ray, which ranks high on the Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast List.
A jet-black dragon soared through the clouds, its imposing presence terrifying.
Its eyes are crimson, and its back is covered with dense thorny crystals, which help it blend into the void and make it difficult to detect its aura. It is the Jade Xuanchi, a fourth-tier top-grade Xuan beast that is not listed on the Heavenly Gang Xuan Beast Ranking but enjoys a great reputation in the Immortal Alliance.
As soon as these three peak-level demon kings stepped out of the light gate, they surrounded Che Zhengyuan in a triangular formation, and then their energy intertwined and merged into one.
Che Zhengyuan formed hand seals and activated the Jade Universe Cave Heaven Immortal Technique. The aura of the three beasts participating in the same realm surged instantly, breaking through the barrier of the peak demon king realm and easily stepping into the perfect demon king realm. Then, their cultivation level continued to rise.
Eight thousand years!
Nine thousand years!
Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years!
As the spatial ripples dissipated and the energy returned to stability, the three Heavenly Gang Mystic Beasts completely stepped into the limit of the Perfected Demon King realm, radiating a powerful pressure that was enough to make even a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator wary.
However, even though Che Zhengyuan commanded three Perfect Limit Demon Kings, he had no intention of attacking Chen Beiwu. Instead, he changed his hand seals again and ordered the Nine-Colored Deer, Huaxu, and Yuxuanchi to use their innate profound abilities to form an impenetrable spatial defense barrier.
This is the supreme and profound Jade Universe Immortal Technique: The Three Enclosures Stabilize the Void Realm!
The Three Enclosures are Ziwei, Taiwei, and Tianshi.
Therefore, to unleash this profound power, it requires the combined efforts of three Heavenly Gang Demon Kings belonging to the spatial realm.
One resides in the center, governing stability; one resides above, governing emptiness; and one resides below, governing the realm. When the three work together to complete the convergence of the power of the Three Enclosures, they can form the Three Enclosures Fixed Emptiness Realm, which is unbreakable below the level of a True Immortal Transformation, making it a place where one man can hold the pass against ten thousand.
However, such profound abilities come at a price: during the casting of the spell, the three Heavenly Gang Demon Kings must not move or attack, and must maintain the operation of the Three Enclosures; otherwise, the Void Realm, which is impervious to all spells, will collapse.
To put it bluntly, Che Zhengyuan knew that a simple attack would not be able to defeat Chen Beiwu, but would instead easily lead to defeat. It would be better to play it safe, use flawless defense to buy time, gradually get used to Chen Beiwu's fighting rhythm, and then look for an opportunity.
Once a suitable opportunity is found, Che Zhengyuan can use the power of the Jade Universe Dao Fruit to reverse the Immortal Mystic Arts and transform the Three Enclosures Fixed Void Realm into the supreme killing technique [Three Flowers Absolute Void].
However, Chen Beiwu's Primordial Immortal Technique had already reached its peak. Even though the Three Flowers Absolute Void Technique could kill enemies invisibly and suppress half-step Nascent Soul cultivators with a single strike, Che Zhengyuan had little chance of winning and could not see much hope of victory.
"Eek!"
Faced with Che Zhengyuan's flawless defense, Zhiling leaped into the air and took the initiative to fight.
"???"
Che Zhengyuan frowned slightly, recognizing at a glance that Zhiling was the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox, whose reputation was no less than that of the Five Qi Vine.
However, no matter how high the potential of the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox bloodline race is, it still needs cultivation level to realize that potential.
Under Che Zhengyuan's divine sense, this seven-tailed purple fox was only a late-stage demon king with 5,999 years of cultivation, ridiculously weak.
Logically speaking, a Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast that is not even a peak Demon King would almost never catch Che Zhengyuan's eye, but this seven-tailed purple fox is a fellow beast sent by Chen Beiwu, and its strength is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
We must not be careless and be deceived by appearances. This seven-tailed purple fox may seem to have low cultivation, but as a companion beast to Chen Beiwu, its strength must be extremely terrifying. It is definitely not as simple as it looks!
Che Zhengyuan was on high alert and dared not relax his vigilance.
He suspected that the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox deliberately used her supernatural powers to conceal her cultivation level, in order to feign weakness and catch him off guard.
