28: A terrifying Dao Body, a Nirvana Dao Body!
"Nirvana Dao Body?"
In another part of the Tianduan Mountain Range, Di Cha was hiding his aura. After hearing the two women's words, Shen Xuansheng widened his eyes: "Senior Sister's Dao Body is actually the Nirvana Dao Body!"
"No wonder Senior Sister was able to Cultivate again after her Dao Body Origin Essence was stolen back then."
There are three thousand Daos in heaven and earth, each distinct, and among them, there are some profound paths.
The Nirvana Dao Body is one of them.
It is rumored that the Nirvana Dao Body appeared due to the existence of the Phoenix clan. Those who possess the Nirvana Dao Body can Cultivate and return as long as a sliver of their Divine Soul or a speck of flesh and blood remains; it is almost an Immortal body.
Of course, it is not truly Immortal; such a resurrection starts from scratch.
As for Shen Xuansheng's Seven-Colored Dao Body, his Rebirth from a drop of blood is entirely because a divine object like the seven-colored divine lotus produced a twin lotus seed, and that twin lotus seed had Cultivated into an independent living being.
Likewise, if the Twin Demon Consorts were unwilling, then if Shen Xuansheng died, he would simply be dead; there would be no such thing as Rebirth from a drop of blood. His Rebirth from a drop of blood is built upon the Twin Demon Consorts.
The Nirvana Dao Body is a true Rebirth of oneself.
Rather than calling it a Rebirth, it would be better to call it a resurrection!
"I would like to give it to you too!"
"But I also want this cultivation base of yours, as well as the cultivation base of that Devil Head inside you. How about you give your cultivation base to me?" Xu Yaochi said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Sima Yun's expression changed: "I knew it!"
Xu Yaochi did not seem to intend to hide anything and said directly: "You should have known this when you stole my Dao Body Origin Essence."
"Once you fused with my Dao Body Origin Essence, you became equivalent to one of my Clones. Sima Yun, if you kill me today, all my cultivation base will return to you, but if you die, your cultivation base will naturally become mine."
"With our Dao Bodies connected, there will be no rejection whatsoever."
As Xu Yaochi's voice fell, the entire mountain range began to tremble, as if it had come alive, resembling a rolling earth dragon as it charged towards Sima Yun.
"Hmph!" Seeing this, Sima Yun's gentle expression was long gone, replaced by a look of cold indifference: "Xu Yaochi, do not blame me. If I hadn't stolen your Dao Body Origin Essence back then, my consciousness would have been taken over by the Devil Head. I only did it to survive."
Within Xu Yaochi's body, mana churned: "Therefore, I have never said you were wrong!"
"The path of Cultivation is exactly like this!"
"Sima Yun, everything is illusory. For me, you stealing my Dao Body Origin Essence, isn't that just another form of Cultivation?"
"Use the power of the Devil Head, otherwise you won't even be able to take a single palm strike from me."
Xu Yaochi struck out with a palm, and instantly, heaven and earth cracked, and Sima Yun's body was directly struck beneath the mountain range.
Watching the mountain range shatter completely, a look of shock appeared in Shen Xuansheng's eyes: "Is this the strength of the Profound Immortal Realm?"
"Just a light palm strike can compare to my current Divine Abilities and techniques?"
Di Cha snorted: "Kid, just watch, this is only the beginning."
"The power of an Immortal is not that weak!"
Beneath the shattered rocks of the mountain range, black lotus flowers bloomed one after another. The original Sima Yun now fully displayed the might of a Devil Head; her robes turned black, a black lotus appeared between her brows, and combined with her appearance, she looked even more demonic.
"Xu Yaochi, hand over the final Nirvana Origin Essence!"
Space crumbled, and loose stones pierced through the air.
"She is also in the Profound Immortal Realm!!"
Shen Xuansheng sensed that Sima Yun's current aura was actually on par with Xu Yaochi's.
"Heh." Xu Yaochi chuckled lightly: "Sima Yun, you cannot maintain this state for long. If the Imperial Astronomical Bureau of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty discovers you, I fear your Sima Family will face the calamity of extermination, right?"
"The Tianduan Mountain Range—no wonder you chose this place. The spiritual energy here is chaotic, which is perfect for blocking your Devilish Qi!"
Xu Yaochi smiled faintly, then pointed a finger.
It was as if the cry of a Phoenix resounded through heaven and earth; one could see mana surging above Xu Yaochi, condensing into the form of a Phoenix.
"Phoenix Soul-Destroying Finger!"
A Dao Body Divine Ability!
Shen Xuansheng swallowed his saliva: "If this were directed at me, I fear a single shockwave would be enough to kill me."
The Phoenix cried out, shattering space as if tearing the sky apart, and spread its wings as it flew towards Sima Yun below.
"Black Lotus Body Protection!"
Seeing this, Sima Yun caused a giant black lotus to bloom on her body, protecting her within it.
Boom! The Phoenix collided with the black lotus. The petals of the black lotus began to show signs of shattering, and until all the black lotus petals were broken, the impact of the Phoenix also dissipated.
"Xu Yaochi, I truly underestimated you. I didn't expect that even without the Nirvana Dao Body, you could still Cultivate to become a Profound Immortal."
Sima Yun walked toward Xu Yaochi step by step; with every step she took, a black lotus appeared beneath her feet.
"Demon Heaven Black Lotus Slash!!"
Black lotus flowers appeared one after another, like Sharp Weapons, hiding in space and reappearing around Xu Yaochi.
Boom!! The black lotuses bloomed, turning into mysterious black beams of light, speeding toward Xu Yaochi.
"Xu Yaochi, you are not my match."
During this, Sima Yun also pointed a finger.
"Phoenix Soul-Destroying Finger!"
Screech~~~~~!
A black Phoenix appeared, carrying the black lotus as it shot forward.
"Xu Yaochi, your strongest Divine Ability is nothing more than your Dao Body Origin Essence, but unfortunately, you only have a sliver of it."
"The power is just so-so; let me show you how powerful a Nirvana Divine Ability fused with Devilish Qi can be!"
Sima Yun let out a low roar.
On her body, within the black Devilish Qi, a few strands of red thread faintly appeared; they were very sparse, almost invisible.
In the shadows, Shen Xuansheng watched the two, who were constantly shattering space. They each had their victories and defeats, and for a time, neither could determine life or death.
"Senior, what are those red threads on Sima Yun's body?" Shen Xuansheng observed and asked curiously.
Di Cha nodded with satisfaction: "Kid, you still have some discernment. These red threads are the power of Karmic Obstruction in heaven and earth. The Devil Head is itself a Karmic Obstruction of heaven and earth; now that Sima Yun has fused with the Devil Head, this Karmic Obstruction will naturally appear on her."
"Once these red threads turn into red flames, even if a Grand Unity Golden Immortal comes, Sima Yun will end up with her Divine Soul completely destroyed."
"Therefore, before these red threads become flames, Sima Yun must end this battle; otherwise, the one to die will be her."
Shen Xuansheng listened. Recalling the novels he read in his past life, he asked: "Karmic Obstruction, red flames—Senior, could it be Karmic Fire?"
Di Cha looked at Shen Xuansheng in surprise: "Kid, I have discovered that there are some things you do not understand at all, yet there are some things you know quite a lot about."
"How on earth did you learn this?"
"That's right, it is Karmic Fire."
Shen Xuansheng thought of a possibility: "Senior, you said that even if a Grand Unity Golden Immortal comes, they cannot save her from this Karmic Fire. Can the power of Luck counteract it?"
Di Cha nodded: "That's right!"
"The Life-Slaying Sword possesses the power of Luck, but it is too little."
Hiss!! Shen Xuansheng suddenly felt as if he had seen the essence of this world.
"Sects and schools, accepting disciples to Cultivate—it is all for the power of Luck!"
"The reason the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty is powerful is also because of the power of Luck? Senior, is that right?"
Di Cha turned to look at Shen Xuansheng: "That's right!"
"Kid, what else do you know?"
Shen Xuansheng took a deep breath.
"The Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty is a Luck Imperial Dynasty!"
"Could it be that the Imperial Dynasties are the orthodox forces of heaven and earth, and the reason Sects and schools can only occupy a corner is because of this?"
As soon as this thought occurred, within Shen Xuansheng's Divine Soul, the Monarch Descends Upon the World Divine Ability unexpectedly underwent a strange change...
Surging information poured out continuously!!
