The flames surged, and with the power of the Bagua Formation, the strength of the Blazing Sword increased by at least three levels!
"Not done yet!" I bit my finger and used my blood to draw a Talisman in the air.
"Three Purities Edict, Daoist Law of Correct Origin, Bagua Formation, activate!" I evenly distributed the blood across my five fingers, covered the Talisman in the void with my hand, then twisted my wrist and forcefully struck the Talisman into the center of the Bagua Formation.
"Boom!!!!"
It sounded like a gas canister had exploded; this group of Corpses began to sizzle like they were on a BBQ. Of course, I had no appetite.
A wooden sword descended from above, with a Corpse hanging from its tip.
I was relying on my comrades to buy some time; after all, those Corpses I had burned were charred! The entire space was filled with the smell of burnt bones.
"Here." I flicked the wooden sword, tossing the Corpse in front of Xia Liyi. "Have fun with it. Just remember, this game only has one life; if you kill it, it's gone."
The Corpse moved sluggishly and posed little threat to Xia Liyi. I needed to recover, so I directly threw the last remaining Corpse to Xia Liyi.
Xia Liyi playfully teased the Corpse with her wooden sword, and the Corpse was foolishly toyed with in her hands.
"What a nuisance; even dead, it has to be a girl's toy," I leaned against a rock, watching Xia Liyi and the Corpse 'play house' while casually swiping at my Seed Bag to pull out a bottle of water.
"Take your time; I'm not in a hurry." After taking a sip of water, I said to Xia Liyi. If she went too hard on it, it would be troublesome; as long as there was still one Corpse alive, we could delay until the next wave of enemies arrived.
"This bone is really hard; this wooden thing can't do anything," Xia Liyi complained.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about that." I tossed the water bottle back into the Seed Bag and shrugged. "If you get tired, I have various drinks and food here."
It felt like I was trying to coax a girl.
On another side were Shaoming and Zhang Fan.
A skeleton howled and lunged at Zhang Fan, but was sent flying by a swing of his Brass Greatsword. Meanwhile, Shaoming manipulated three clusters of Foxfire, incinerating the skeletons one by one.
"Sister," Zhang Fan said, resting the Brass Greatsword on his shoulder. "Who is your boss? You seem quite familiar with each other."
"Master," Shaoming replied indifferently. "Is he your boss?"
"Yeah, but if we're talking about strength, he can't match me!" Zhang Fan boasted as he swung the Brass Greatsword up and down, the blade slicing through skeletons and piling them thickly on the ground.
"You've fought him?" Shaoming asked, bored and following Zhang Fan's lead.
"Once, but I sent him flying," Zhang Fan bragged. "My boss just has more tricks up his sleeve; in terms of strength, he can't compare to me."
"Just brute force," Shaoming said lightly. "Focus a bit; it seems like there are more skeletons appearing."
"It's fine." Zhang Fan cleared away the skeletons in front of him. "Sister, why don't you take a break over there? I'll handle this."
Shaoming glanced at Zhang Fan. "Okay, but don't call me sister."
"Why not?"
"I just had my birthday; I'm now one hundred and thirty years old."
Zhang Fan: ""
"Still want to call me sister?"
"Auntie."
"Good."
"Boom"
"It's here." I stood up from the ground, feeling the earth tremble slightly, indicating that whatever was coming was likely to be incredibly powerful.
"Xia Liyi, step back." I called back Xia Liyi, who was having a great time, and with a swift motion of my sword, I split the already battered Corpse in half.
As the saying goes, killing is just a matter of hitting the ground. Compared to Xia Liyi, I am a good person. Just think about it: when executing someone, the executioner sharpens the blade until it's razor-sharp, and with one swift stroke, the condemned is dead; while another executioner has a knife that's almost rusted into a saw, with chips all over it, and when he tries to kill someone, he has to say, "Hold on a bit," and then saw like he's cutting wood.
In comparison, that latter one is no longer human, right? That's how I differ from Xia Liyi.
"This is the last wave; there's no need to hold back now. Let's settle this." I murmured to myself. "By the way, Xia Liyi, if you're hungry, there's some bread where I was lying earlier. You can have a bite."
Xia Liyi: ""
"Three Purities Edict, Daoist Law of Correct Origin."
I silently recited the incantation as my hands naturally opened.
After my Dantian, three Azure Flowers began to shine brightly and slowly transformed into Three Azure Flowers buds. The flower buds opened up, holding three drops of differently colored Essence of Blood.
Centered around the Essence of Blood, the Three Azure Flowers began to rotate slowly. As the Azure Flowers spun, a tremendous amount of magical power surged forth from them.
If this had been before, even with such terrifying magical power, I wouldn't have dared to use it. Who knows what kind of disaster could occur if I lost control? At least using it once would probably wipe out half of JZ Normal University.
However, now I felt no fear at all. After all, even if this scene were to be destroyed, wouldn't the next one just take its place? Moreover, right now, magical power felt like a huge pressure on me.
As the Three Drops of Essence Blood began to adapt to my body, my magical power grew at an almost geometric rate. But behind this terrifying growth was a Dantian that simply couldn't contain so much power. I couldn't suppress my magical power's increase; if it continued to grow wildly like this, my Dantian would eventually explode like a monkey jumping up—first rising and then self-destructing.
So any opportunity to release it was something I desperately sought.
Moreover, this move is something I have wanted to use for a long time. Previously, such thoughts only existed in my mind, as I didn't have enough magical power to waste.
"Boom!"
Two orbs of magical energy appeared in my hands, burning like flames in my palms. This was not real fire; it was the appearance of magical energy solidifying to a certain extent. The flickering flames on my palms were actually the magical energy dissipating continuously.
"It's coming," Xia Liyi said, becoming tense as she looked at me with a serious expression.
From the swirling vortex not far away, enormous figures began to emerge.
"What is that?" I stared at the massive figures in astonishment. "Is that an Ape? How can it be so huge?"
Indeed, what emerged from the vortex were Apes. However, these Apes were at least several dozen meters tall, resembling Ultraman.
Oh my, I just saw a wild Ultraman.
Most of these Apes were surprisingly well-equipped, some even wearing thick armor and wielding enormous weapons.
The weapons included iron rods and hammers—various kinds of heavy weaponry.
"Yin Zheng'an, can you handle this?" Xia Liyi looked up at the Apes, expressing some concern.
"If I can't defeat them, what am I supposed to do? Call the police?" I replied with frustration.
"Pfft," Xia Liyi laughed at my response. "Stop joking around; be serious."
"Don't worry, let me show you my ultimate move." I raised the Azure Mana flames high in the air.
"Alright, go for it!"
I am not a motorcycle, so refueling won't help.
"Bagua Formation!" I shouted loudly, and the Bagua Formation began to spin: "Depart, wind!"
The Wind Array; this time, the Bagua Formation was merely an auxiliary tool. Its task was simple: to spin vigorously like a fan, adding fuel to my attack!
"Azure Flower! Azure Lotus Flame!"
The magical flames in my hands suddenly surged with my shout, enveloping me completely in fire. The flames rose higher and higher, standing tall like the heart of a flower.
"Wind Walking Technique!"
Stepping on Wind Walk, I jumped directly into the center of the Bagua Formation. The center of the Bagua Formation was easy to find; it was located at the center of the Gossip diagram.
"Azure Lotus, bloom!" I spread my arms wide: "Universal!"
Wow!
Centered around my body, a massive flame unfolded like a blooming lotus within the Bagua Formation. Heart Fire; this is my Heart Fire, Azure Lotus!
When I was eroded by Three Drops of Essence Blood, my Heart Fire had already been ignited. Strangely, it existed in the form of a lotus flower.
I am a practitioner of Cultivation, but the lotus is a symbol of Buddhism. Yet, it's peculiar that my Heart Fire takes the shape of a lotus flower!
The Azure lotus; this is my Heart Fire, which I named Azure Lotus Flame.
This move involves drawing one's magical power outwards and igniting it with Heart Fire. The ignited magical power naturally expands due to heat, just like a lotus flower blooming.
However, it's not over yet. If it were only at this level, it wouldn't deserve the name I gave it!
Universal!! To enlighten the world! This is also a concept of Buddhism, perfectly describing Azure Lotus! However, this is not the complete version of Universal!
Do you remember when I transformed Bagua Formation into Wind Array? Yes, now is the time for Bagua Formation to start taking effect!
“Whoosh!! Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!!!”
The Wind Array spun, inflating my Azure Lotus Flame, as if the Azure Lotus Flame had ignited the very air itself.
“It’s not over yet!!!!” I felt as if I were being crushed under a thousand-pound weight, my clenched teeth slowly beginning to show red streaks of blood.
“Spin for me!!!!” I thrust my arms, gripping the entire Azure lotus tightly, then with all my strength, I twisted the whole Azure Fire Lotus!
With the wind aiding the fire, the Azure Fire Lotus began to be propelled by the winds of the Bagua Formation as I turned it.
It was as if a burning electric fan had started spinning on the ground, raising the temperature of the entire space significantly!
The flames of Reincarnation, this truly deserves my name of Universal! The Azure flames purify the entire world, burning! The Azure flames make all darkness in the world nowhere to hide!
The Azure Lotus blooms, dancing with fire in Universal!!!
Eight Treasures Mystique! Samadhi Fire!!!
I have finally entered the realm.
