Chapter 427 A Sudden Betrayal
With Glion and Brolin's abilities, they could have easily avoided the meteorite impact without taking any damage.
However, in order to ensure that Bai Ze could not escape, they chose to reinforce the force field and face the shock wave directly in mid-air.
The result was that the force field shattered, Bai Ze's Heavenly Demon Dharma Form was crushed, and Glion and Brolin also suffered injuries of varying degrees.
Bai Ze couldn't help but applaud the determination of the two.
To ensure Bai Ze's certain death, they were willing to injure themselves. Bai Ze felt somewhat honored to be valued so highly by two eight-star martial artists.
Unfortunately, neither of them could see that "Bai Ze" was a Dharma form.
What if the Dharma image is broken? Reassemble it.
However, after the Dharma Form was reassembled, Bai Ze was shocked to find that two streams of energy shattered the stone remnants and locked onto him once again.
"You two are really persistent."
A faint demonic aura emanated from Bai Ze's Dharma form. "So be it."
With a single "So be it," the aura of the Dharma image suddenly rose, and an invisible sense of grandeur arose spontaneously.
The Heavenly Demon Dharma Form is changing, becoming more and more like a human body, and it can even be said to be exactly the same as Bai Ze's original body structure.
This is because Bai Ze's current realm has broken through to the Seven Stars, which is the last of the Seven Souls—the Heavenly Soul.
He thwarted the general's conquest of Yingguo, causing his divine will to rise and dominate his brain's consciousness, finally entering the last realm before transcending the ordinary and becoming a saint.
Tianchong Po and Linghui Po both belong to the spiritual category of the seven Po, but the latter focuses on thinking, while the former, Tianchong Po, is more inclined towards command and connection.
"Chong" means to surge upward, converge, and communicate. Tianchongpo is in charge of spiritual thinking and the interaction between heaven and earth. It also has the function of governing spirituality and harmonizing the seven souls.
When Tianchong (天沖) is in harmony with Linghui (灵慧), it completes the integration from intuition to rational cognition; when Tianchong is in harmony with Qipo (气魄), it represents the synchronization of mental thinking and physical strength.
This is because spirit and strength are inseparable; spirit and strength are one.
Furthermore, Qipo represents the connection between true energy and heaven and earth, while Tianchongpo represents the communication between spiritual thought and heaven and earth; both have the effect of connecting and communicating.
The Seven Star Warriors can interfere with matter with their mental power not only because their mental power is strong enough, but also because of the communication effect of the Heavenly Soul.
When Bai Ze reached this realm, his seven souls were also unified, as if he had finally achieved perfection.
The brain, dominated by mental thought, has been fully utilized. While it may not have achieved a qualitative leap in power, it has made significant progress in its application.
In the past, there was a saying that "ordinary people only use 10% of their brains." This statement has since been proven to be false, as there are no untapped or unused parts of the human brain.
However, most people cannot fully utilize their brains.
Just like the body, there is a huge difference in the amount of power that an ordinary person can exert compared to someone who has trained and mastered the techniques of generating power.
The most basic function of Tianchongpo is the complete utilization of the brain.
Harmonizing the seven souls allows the body and mind to achieve absolute unity.
Only by pushing one's mental and physical potential to the limit can one reach the upper limit of that race, break through it, and enter another realm.
And naturally, the potential of different people is also different.
Like this!
The celestial demon's form suddenly changed, emitting "five-colored divine light."
The celestial demon's aura combined with Bai Ze's own yin and yang energies, and the five-colored divine light transformed into towering feathers that swept forward, colliding with the raging lightning.
In an instant, the divine light flickered, the five elements shifted, and the violent lightning was completely dissipated, finally vanishing without a trace before it could reach Bai Ze.
In the past, the Five-Colored Divine Light canceled each other out based on the principle of mutual restraint. The stronger the attack, the more power it required to consume. The strength of the Five-Colored Divine Light depended on the purity and upper limit of Bai Ze's own power.
Now, Bai Ze has combined the Heavenly Demon Qi with the Five-Colored Divine Light, incorporating the adaptability of the Heavenly Demon Qi into the Five-Colored Divine Light, which has further enhanced the Five-Colored Divine Light and reduced its own consumption.
In the past, Bai Ze had tried to combine the two, but due to his lack of self-control, even if the two were combined, he still needed to maintain the principle that words become law and exercise control at all times.
Now, Bai Ze is able to control it with his own power.
The combination of the Heavenly Demon Qi and the Yin-Yang Qi makes Bai Ze's true Qi purity infinitely close to that of an eight-star martial artist. The adaptability of the Heavenly Demon Qi can make up for that last bit of deficiency.
At least, it can withstand true energy.
After the lightning dissipated, the five-colored feathers flew like swords, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, evolving into different sword techniques, slashing towards the source of the lightning.
"Bang!"
The building's wreckage suddenly exploded, sending debris flying like arrows, but it disintegrated instantly upon contact with the five-colored feathers.
A bolt of lightning burst forth from behind the rubble, encircling the halberd and slashing out in a crescent-shaped arc.
Gryphon shot out wielding his lightning field halberd, slashing with domineering lightning energy colliding with the feathers.
"boom!"
A burst of lightning exploded, shattering into countless feathers of divine light.
Gryphon let out a long roar, his body swelled up, and in an instant he transformed into a black dragon battle form. The transformation continued, with scales rapidly covering his entire body, and even two gaps appeared on the back of the armor.
Swah—
With his dragon wings spread wide, Gryphon resembled a humanoid dragon, exuding a fierce and malevolent aura.
"Hidden Dragon Transformation".
The behemoth genes within his body were fully activated, causing a dramatic transformation in Gryphon's physique.
This is his innate supernatural power, or in Western Union terms—divine right.
By activating the genes of the behemoth, like a hidden dragon rising and transforming into a dragon, humans can become dragons.
Gryphon's voice became rough and deep, and his dragon wings flapped, shattering the divine light in front of him while enveloped in lightning.
In his behemoth form, Gryphon's blood energy was boosted several times over, his entire body radiating a dark red aura, and a ferocious, malevolent energy swept across the land.
"boom!"
The energy clashed, creating a shockwave that swept across hundreds of meters. The dragon-man launched an aerial attack, its lightning-infused battle halberd slashing and shattering the divine light, directly clashing with the five-colored feathers that pierced through the air.
"Let them counter in turn, Five-Colored Divine Light."
Bai Ze's Heavenly Demon Dharma Form expanded rapidly, devouring the surrounding primordial energy and continuously transforming it into five-colored divine light.
The divine light flashed, and the five-colored feathers danced and changed.
The nature of true energy, the direction of force, and the changes in strength—everything was dealt with by a completely opposite force. In an instant, divine light shone brightly, and five-colored feathers intertwined from all directions.
"Boom!"
The violent winds shattered the surrounding ruins, and the clash of five-colored feathers and lightning created a fierce storm.
Eight stars are indeed eight stars, especially the Western Alliance Eight Stars who are known for their numerical superiority. Even Bai Ze today cannot completely neutralize Gryphon's moves with the Five-Colored Divine Light.
However, the completely opposing changes were still executed to their fullest potential.
Five-colored feathers multiplied wildly, transforming into lightning mid-air and blocking the black dragon in mid-air.
Glion, an eight-star warrior, had his advance halted halfway through.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, several spider spears pierced through the air from behind Bai Ze.
The appearance of the spider spear could not be detected by spiritual perception, but the Five-Colored Divine Light automatically responded under the drive of the Words of Law.
Feathers rose behind him, meeting the spider spears with a flash of divine light, colliding with the surging psychic power.
"Bang!"
The domineering telekinetic force shattered feathers and caused the interception in front to fail.
The black dragon roared angrily, and lightning slashed through the divine feathers. The dragon flapped its wings and immediately unleashed a fierce beam of light.
An overwhelming aura of malevolence surged forth like a raging tide, echoing the psychic power behind it, and crashing down on Bai Ze from both directions.
However, Bai Ze only changed his form, transforming from a physical being into a state of primordial energy, and then broke free from it.
The entire Heavenly Demon Dharma Form transformed into five-colored divine light, its brilliance shimmering as it broke through the sky and soared into the heavens.
"Even if you stop me, it won't make a difference."
Divine light soared into the sky, and Bai Ze's figure reappeared in mid-air, radiating light like a god. "The overall situation is set, and it is difficult to change it."
As if echoing Bai Ze's words, the steel continent trembled violently once again, and the violent energy collided fiercely underwater, forming a towering storm on the sea surface.
That was a clash between a general and a refined and easy-going martial artist from the Heavenly Gate.
That was also when the strongmen of Dongxia finally set foot on the Iron Continent.
On the distant horizon, a dark wave surged in, its imposing aura sealing off the heavens and the earth.
Despite needing to guard against the Rift Sea Whale and being bogged down by the troublesome Divine Luo Empire, the Eastern Xia Federation still dispatched enough strongmen and troops.
Zhang Huayang had planned ahead and made arrangements in advance, which enabled Dongxia to send out personnel in a timely manner.
At this moment, battles have broken out on the sea. The two Western Alliance lieutenants, who were originally stationed at the junction of the Iron Continent and the Japanese mainland, have now gone to the coast to prevent the Eastern Xia warriors from landing.
Bai Ze also sensed that Mu Yaoguang's aura was approaching.
She was rushing to Heian-kyo (Kyoto) with great eagerness.
"Although I have prepared many trump cards, it seems that I no longer need to intervene."
Bai Ze's true form stood atop a tall building, murmuring to himself.
Japan is now in chaos, with fighting and battles breaking out everywhere on the Steel Continent, and the Western Alliance has lost control of the situation.
The only chance of a breakthrough is for the general to remotely use his authority to forcibly take away the Steel Continent.
However, Bai Ze has a backup plan, so there's no need to worry about the Steel Continent moving.
Although the theologian, that coward, hasn't shown up yet, he can no longer influence the overall situation.
The general's plan is all about taking things by surprise.
If the steel continent cannot be moved in time, and the other two countries react, then there's no way they can leave.
It was at this moment that the nanounit sent a communication notification.
"Bai Ze, are you alright?"
Mu Yaoguang's voice came through.
"I am fine,"
Upon hearing the voice, Bai Ze smiled, patted his chest, and said, "Completely undamaged."
Although he made several moves, he mostly used his Heavenly Demon Dharma Form to do so. The battle was fierce, but he never managed to injure himself.
This trip to Japan was dangerous, but ultimately ended without any real danger.
"That's good. You wait here, I'm coming to find you now."
Mu Yaoguang's voice revealed joy, as well as a sense of relief and relaxation.
Bai Ze was pleased to receive her concern and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, a strong sense of dread suddenly overwhelmed him.
A streak of blood flashed across the sky, like a sharp arrow, traversing a vast distance in an instant and piercing Bai Ze's chest.
Two sensations, one of icy cold and the other of intense heat, erupted in my chest and spread rapidly. A feeling of dread, like a huge shadow, enveloped my mind.
They actually knew my location! I clearly used my words to conceal all my aura and traces... An incredulous thought arose in Bai Ze's mind.
Fortunately, I had preset the command that my words would become law.
He had used the "Words Become Law" ability in advance, which would automatically trigger whenever he was injured, causing his flesh and blood to regenerate.
This was precisely the moment when words would become law, but then came the warning: "Yaoguang, there's a traitor among us!"
Bai Ze exclaimed in surprise, "There's a traitor among you, tracking my location!"
Under the cover of his words becoming law, even if a master of divination were to perform a divination, they would not be able to predict Bai Ze's whereabouts.
Bai Ze studied under Ye Weiyang. Although he had not yet conducted in-depth research on the art of divination, he was still familiar with its basic principles.
The foundation of Yi Jing (易经) lies in observing Qi (气). Only by observing or capturing the other party's "Qi" can one proceed to the next step of divination and deduction.
This "qi" does not simply refer to the flow of qi, but can also include vitality and other forms of qi.
If one conceals one's "qi" (vital energy) or even causes one's life force to disappear from the world, then in divination, it is considered death.
Alternatively, if the energy becomes extremely chaotic and impossible to detect, it can also be guarded against.
The general had done the same thing before.
With its powerful vacuum zero-point energy, even a divine enemy would need to break through the general's shield before it could conduct a deduction of the internal situation of Ying Kingdom.
In conclusion, it is impossible to trace Bai Ze in terms of metaphysics.
Bai Ze was indeed not as strong as the general, and he did not have much achievement in divination, but his words could be interpreted as law, which could make all divination practitioners believe that Bai Ze was dead.
As long as he can't get a partner, no one can lock onto him remotely.
That leaves non-mysticism, namely technology.
Bai Ze and Mu Yaoguang made contact, but their signal was being tracked.
And the trackers were right next to the two of them.
If Bai Ze has no one by his side, then it's only Mu Yaoguang's side.
As Bai Ze's startled shout rang out, Mu Yaoguang's figure flashed without hesitation.
His body vanished into nothingness in an instant, merging into space, passing through a sudden burst of dark sword light, and then reappearing in mid-air not far away in the blink of an eye.
The Great Freedom Dharmakaya!
The interplay of reality and illusion, the tangible and the intangible, as long as the Great Freedom Dharma Body cannot be broken, Mu Yaoguang will naturally remain invincible.
But at this moment, Mu Yaoguang did not show any joy at having avoided the sneak attack, simply because the person who had entered Ying Kingdom with her should not have attacked her.
Mu Yaoguang stared coldly ahead, where she saw surging Xuan Qi and a solemn atmosphere.
Two figures stood amidst the profound energy, exuding a cold and murderous aura.
"Has the Northern Emperor's Black Law been cracked?"
Even with Mu Yaoguang's composure, she felt a strange sense of dread at this moment.
The reason is that both of these people are practicing the "Northern Emperor's Black Law".
The person least likely to betray you has betrayed you.
