Infinite Professions

Chapter 279 - 148: Highs and Lows (Part 2)

"What nonsense!"

Before the words were finished, a powerful palm skill directly came rushing forward.

Dao Xuankong’s expression remained unchanged; he stood still with his hands pressed together, completely unfazed.

"Bang!!!"

A loud noise echoed as the robust palm skill dissipated into thin air.

"Golden Bell Shield!"

In the audience, everyone’s eyes sharpened, catching a glimpse of the secret within.

"The Twelve Celestial Gates Golden Bell Shield, one of the Four Great Divine Skills of Dharma Martial Mansion!"

"This skill is a Buddhist Martial Zen Skill, marvelously combining Buddhist and martial arts cultivation, focusing on redirecting the Buddha Essence Qi and nature’s spiritual energy within the body, forming a twelve-layered golden bell qi shield both inside and outside, unparalleled in defense and incredibly powerful. Cultivating to the realm of Twelve-Layered Realm can achieve a Vajra Indestructible Body."

"Though Dao Xuankong is only Tier Five, with his talent he has long refined into the Sixth Realm, where Buddha Essence Qi and nature’s spiritual energy have generated a six-layered qi shield within skin, flesh, tendons, bones, marrow, and essence, truly a small Vajra Indestructible Body, and even showing the trend of forming a seventh Layer Celestial Gate."

"The Four Great Divine Skills of Dharma Martial Mansion, Golden Bell Shield refines the essence and body, Yijinjing refines qi and condenses yuan, Bone Marrow Cleansing Scripture refines the spirit and consciousness, and Child’s Skill combines the three into a Zen Martial Cultivation Method!"

"Dao Xuankong is proficient in Dharma Teachings, combining these four divine skills into one, refining an unprecedented Indestructible Golden Core, which is the prototype of a Vajra Indestructible Body!"

"Dharma Divine Skill, the Martial Mansion’s Ultimate Skill, truly extraordinary!"

"This wild man finally met his match!"

"Hmph, arrogant and presumptuous, while others talk about Buddhist philosophies, you just strike directly. This demeanor clearly shows who is superior."

"Come on, fighting is fighting, what about discussing Buddhist philosophies? I paid a million to hear your nonsense?"

"Kill, kill, kill, I want to see a river of blood!"

With one palm, the battle was pushed open, and the scene boiled over, everyone’s eyes fervently watching Dao Xuankong, all waiting for his response.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Dao Xuankong sighed softly: "This humble monk accepts the challenge."

"Come!"

The Martial Artist responded swiftly, raising a hand, the dragon and tiger emerged together.

Dao Xuankong pressed his hands together, as immovable as a stone statue, beneath the grey monk’s robe, golden light burst forth, immediately forming the shadow of the golden bell, protecting his body, firmly withstanding the dragon and tiger.

"Dang!!!"

A loud reverberation sounded, as if the golden bell were struck, the six Layer Celestial Gate stood firm, the monk’s Buddha body even steadier, displaying the marvel of Dharma Teachings and the strength of Zen Martial true skill.

Yet unexpectedly...

"Boom!!!"

The Martial Artist’s body steadied, the dragon and tiger astonishingly charged forth again, transforming into yin and yang, manifesting saber light and sword shadow.

The saber charged wildly, karmic fire spreading like wildfire!

The sword moved coldly, demon slaying unyielding!

Dragon and tiger, yin and yang.

Hard and soft, water and fire.

Life and death, saber and sword.

In an instant, saber and sword crossed, seemingly forming two figures, one in black robe fierce, one in white robe ethereal, saber and sword moves following closely.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

"Dang dang dang dang dang dang!"

Explosive sounds erupted continuously, roar after roar, within the battlefield, the golden bell trembled, saber and sword crossed.

The crowd gazed in astonishment, only seeing saber and sword vertical and horizontal, figures interlacing, so fast they couldn’t catch up.

"This is...!?"

The crowd was full of surprise, unable to find words.

Within the battlefield, under the qi shield, Dao Xuankong merged with the golden bell, facing the saber and sword strikes, also showing some astonishment: "Power of Life and Death?"

In the midst of speaking, his pressed hands suddenly moved.

"Pfff!"

Instantly the monk robes burst forth, dazzling golden light erupted, revealing the Zen Martial Body, Vajra Indestructible Body.

Zen Martial Body, Vajra Indestructible, Dao Xuankong pressed his hands together again, the golden bell qi shield was like a Celestial Gate, firmly enduring the saber and sword edges, allowing the dragon and tiger roars, yin and yang eroding, water and fire tempering, hard and soft entangling, life and death clashing, yet standing unmoved, as steady as Mount Tai.

"Indestructible Golden Core!"

"Junior Brother Xuankong!"

In the audience, Observing Precepts Ascetic and other Dharma Martial Mansion people jumped up in shock, gazing at Dao Xuankong merged with the golden bell, defending against the saber and sword, their eyes full of stunned expressions.

As members of Dharma Martial Mansion, practicing together at Dharma Institute, they were very aware of Dao Xuankong’s state at the moment.

He had already utilized the Indestructible Golden Core, pushing the Twelve Celestial Gates Golden Bell Shield to its limits, in order to stabilize his defense against those saber and sword strikes.

This was the reason for everyone’s shock, they hadn’t expected the battle to escalate so quickly, entering extremes in just three moves, Dao Xuankong being forced to utilize the Indestructible Golden Core.

This person truly is so formidable.

That saber and sword...

"Outer Body Incarnation?"

"How does Tier Five have an Outer Body Incarnation?"

"It’s the operation of the Dao Golden Core; he uses the Dragon Tiger Technique to divide the Golden Core Power, just like the separation of Yin and Yang Qi, forming this sharpness of the sword and saber!"

"To what extent has his understanding and application of the Dragon Tiger Technique and the Yin-Yang Principle reached?"

"In this sword and saber, there lies the mechanism of life and death!"

"What cultivation technique is he practicing?"

"Could it really be some ancient monster who has seized a body and been reborn?"

"Rest assured, Junior Brother Xuankong’s Indestructible Golden Core has been perfected, flawless inside and out, seamlessly combined above and below, with the support of our Dharma Martial Mansion’s Four Great Divine Skills. Just this Celestial Gate Golden Bell Shield alone can establish an invincible position..."

The crowd was in shocked doubt, yet their eyes did not shift in the slightest, and Observing Precepts Ascetic and others were paying close attention with tension.

Amidst the battlefield, lights flickered, Dao Xuankong clasped his hands together, and the Golden Bell around him became substantial. Though a Tier Five body, it achieved the Twelve Celestial Gates with the Vajra Indestructible momentum, a manifestation of that Indestructible Golden Core, resulting in this Golden Core Realm’s Vajra Indestructible.

Such a golden body, such defense, theoretically, in the Golden Core Realm, no one could break it.

But...

The saber moved wildly, the sword acted coldly, the Power of Life and Death divided and yet intertwined.

"Clang!!!"

With a resonating clang, the figures of the swordsman and the swordsman appeared, with the Demon Saber and Dao Sword intersecting in a slash.

"Boom!!!"

The clash of sword and saber resulted in a booming roar, not a metallic clang, but a thunderous impact.

One saber, one sword, like the extreme refinement of water and fire, like the intersection of yin and yang, the ultimate clash of forces to the extreme!

Dragon and Tiger, water and fire, hardness and softness, yin and yang, the life and death of sword and saber.

Two extreme forces, ultimately intersected, erupting into a force of Transcendent Limit-Breaking, with the sword and saber’s edge slicing towards the opponent.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Dao Xuankong’s eyes focused, the Indestructible Golden Core responded instinctively, manifesting a Golden Body Dharma Aspect, physical essence and blood, Buddha Essence Magical Power, Zen Consciousness, nature’s spiritual energy, all refined to the utmost, vaguely breaking through the Sixth Realm Limit, reaching the Seventh Realm Gate.

Child’s Skill!

Golden Bell Shield!

Yijinjing!

Bone Marrow Cleansing Scripture!

Four Great Divine Skills, complementing each other, combining and activating together.

With the power of these four skills, Dao Xuankong, with a Tier Five self, manifested a Golden Body Dharma Aspect that only Buddha Cultivators of the Seventh Realm can achieve; though it’s a fleeting moment like the blossom of an ephemera, it is already a moment of brilliance, exceeding the Fifth Realm’s limit.

"Boom!!!"

With a loud boom, the sword and saber slashed out, Purple Thunderstorm, dazzling edge, penetrated the outer substantial Golden Bell Qi Shield, heavily slashing the Dharma Aspect’s golden body.

"Clang!!!"

Dao Xuankong stepped firmly, under the virtual shadow of the Dharma Aspect, his face full of gravity, even involuntarily gritting his teeth, both feet pressing the ground, the Indestructible Golden Core exerting all its might, intending to resist the sword and saber’s strike of destruction.

But it can’t be resisted, simply can’t be resisted.

Golden Bell Shield – Broken!

Yijinjing – Broken!

Bone Marrow Cleansing Scripture – Broken!

Child’s Skill – Broken!

The Four Great Divine Skills shattered layer by layer.

In the end, the Demon Saber and Dao Sword crossed and slashed, bypassing the Dharma Aspect Golden Body, taking away a glint of brilliance, leaving everything to return to tranquility.

The Dharma Aspect Golden Body, frozen on the ground.

The edges of the sword and saber crossed behind.

"..."

"..."

"..."

On the stands, dead silence prevailed, all utterly silent.

Until finally, a sound exploded.

"Bang!!!"

The Dharma Aspect Golden Body shattered, like spectacular fireworks.

The sword’s light and saber’s shadow vanished with it, instantly becoming formless.

In the end, in the midst of the battlefield, only one figure remained, the towering body like a Demon God, facing away from the world, immovable.

"Not bad!"

A light whisper, the words of the victor, settled the battle.

"The match is over!"

"Player ’Wu Wudi’ wins!"

"..."

The system’s cold prompt sounded, bringing everyone back to reality, yet staring at the solitary figure on the field, remained silent for a long time.

That person said no more, leaving just two words, ’not bad’, then brushed his hand and walked away, leaving many perplexed, frozen on the stands, eyes full of confusion.
