Chapter 100: Dragon and Tiger Manifestation, The Battle of Perfected Ones Shocks the World
The moment Dong Xuanzi’s figure flickered, his Physical Ability and aura surged. The veins on his body bulged like coiled Divine Dragons, and the hazy, circular halo of light around him abruptly expanded.
In the photographs captured by electronic cameras, an inexplicable, colorful radiance could be seen surrounding him. Even the most precise and expensive lenses produced blurry images, distorted by the influence of the magnetic field.
But the sight witnessed through everyone’s Spiritual Sense was even more shocking.
They clearly saw the dragon and tiger forms entwined around Dong Xuanzi suddenly swell, fully materializing and seemingly filling the entire street in an instant.
The whiskers of the Divine Dragon, the fur of the ferocious tiger—everyone could see them with perfect clarity.
A Divine Dragon manifested, a ferocious tiger roared, and they leaped through the street in a dreamlike, illusory display.
It was an utterly stunning scene.
In a flash, Dong Xuanzi was in front of Yi Beidou, his palm striking out like a claw.
ROAR!
The moment he struck, the leaping dragon and tiger forms coiled toward his target. Their gaping maws opened wide, the two beasts overlapping as one. The sheer shock of their aura and Heart Intent was impossible to describe in words.
Amidst that great roar of True Intent, the men and women in the surrounding area trembled and collapsed to the ground like scythed wheat.
This phenomenon wasn’t a Fist Technique, nor was it the Martial Arts Dao. It was a Divine Power!
The Dragon and Tiger Manifestation True Skill!
This was Dong Xuanzi’s killing Secret Technique. He was originally from Dragon Tiger Mountain but left the sect to seek the Longevity Dao. Everything he had learned was an evolution of the Dragon and Tiger Elixir Dao.
It used the ability of Harmonized True Qi to elevate one’s Physical Ability and spirit to their absolute limits. Through the Dragon and Tiger Elixir Dao, the two were unified, breaking all boundaries and causing the body to generate its own radiance, achieving the miraculous state of "Manifestation."
What is True Qi?
In ancient texts, the descriptions are endlessly esoteric, but in reality, they all refer to the unseen magnetic fields of the world.
Harmonized True Qi means adjusting the relationships between the different parts of one’s own Life Magnetic Field, regulating the connection between the human body and natural magnetic fields, and harnessing those natural fields to create effects through True Intent.
If a human body possessed this ability, it could achieve many incredible things.
The saying, "Harmonize True Qi, command Ghost Gods to perform Divine Powers," stems from this principle.
And these lifelike forms of a dragon and tiger—if they were not "Ghost Gods," then what were they?
This Dragon and Tiger Manifestation True Skill was a Secret Technique for stimulating one’s own Life Magnetic Field.
A single, decisive strike meant to kill.
Even Yi Beidou was momentarily stunned by the immense aura of the dragon and tiger forms.
Corpse Dissolving Immortals. Even one who had barely managed to complete Corpse Dissolution, and could never return to the peak of their first life, was still a chosen prodigy of history—what you might even call a "pinnacle of their era"!
In past eras, with the world less developed, the number of Saints in any given generation could likely be counted on one hand. Those who could truly reach the Corpse Dissolving Realm were even rarer!
A prodigy of the past, now striking ruthlessly in the present age. His killing intent was firm; no one would be allowed to threaten his Longevity Dao!
HAH!
Yi Beidou let out a low shout, a savage light erupting in his eyes.
’The past is the past,’ he thought. ’It should be left buried in history.’
’When it comes to great figures, this era is what matters now!’
He forcefully suppressed the terrifying pressure bearing down on him. Not only did he not dodge, but he took a step forward to meet the attack head-on.
’Harmonize True Qi, connect with the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth, and use the Celestial Fiend to aid the Human Fiend!’
’Step of the Beidou, Celestial Slaughter Seven Stars!’
In that instant, the crowd at the venue felt the sky itself seem to dim. The sun appeared to lose its luster, while a single star in the sky shone with exceptional brilliance.
The first star!
Yi Beidou met the attack head-on with a single palm strike.
Demon Body Palm Strike Asks the Heavens.
His body was like a celestial pillar, holding up the heavens and standing firm on the earth. It propped up the collapsing sky, striking at the Celestial Gate itself!
This technique was created to resist immense pressure; this was the perfect moment to use it.
BOOM!
The two palms collided with a tremendous crash. The air erupted as if a grenade had detonated, like igniting gunpowder. A shockwave, visible to the naked eye, spread outward, and the violent roar of the blast left everyone within ten meters with ringing ears.
WHOOSH!
Under the impact of Dong Xuanzi’s immense power, Yi Beidou’s tall frame was lifted off the ground. He was sent flying backward, crashing into a wall over ten meters away with a deafening BANG.
The wall was part of an old building, with no steel rebar in its structure and no deep foundations. Under an impact comparable to a charging truck, it collapsed with a huge rumble, the falling masonry making the ground tremble violently and kicking up a cloud of dust.
The people who had been knocked to the ground by the True Intent of Dong Xuanzi’s dragon and tiger watched this scene with bated breath, the hair on their bodies standing on end.
’A single palm strike creates a shockwave and sends a man flying hard enough to demolish a wall? And you’re telling me that’s a human?!’
At this point, no one dared to just watch the show anymore. Driven by their survival instincts, the numb and trembling men and women on the ground scrambled to their feet. They fled for their lives, while the crowd farther away also scattered like birds, screaming and crying out as they sought cover in nearby buildings.
Famous streamers, big-shot influencers—at this moment, they couldn’t care less about their so-called "Immortal Qi" or public image. All they could think was how much their loose, traditional-style robes were getting in the way of their escape.
’Are you kidding me? With that kind of destructive power, if you’re a little too slow, you’ll be blasted into meat paste! Who gives a damn about dignity at a time like that?’
In the face of life and death, everyone is equal.
"Holy shit! Holy shit!!"
Du Huihui was completely numb with shock. She unconsciously kept repeating the classic curse word as she scrambled to keep up with the fleeing crowd on her short legs. She still hadn’t forgotten her phone, but she had no time to aim the camera, merely clutching it instinctively to her chest.
’I just bought it! It’s the latest model! I haven’t even finished the installment payments!’
At this very moment, on the still-active stream of "Du Zi is not full," the screen was once again filled with a shaky expanse of white.
However, the reaction from the netizens in the stream chat this time was completely different from before.
"Fuck! Get out of the way, you’re blocking the view! Who wants to see this? I wanna see what happens next!!"
"Holy shit, is this for real?! Is the streamer on a movie set?!"
"Don’t run! Show us what’s happening behind you!"
"The streamer is a total coward!"
"Bros, I found another streamer at the scene who’s still live! Let’s jump to their channel!"
"..."
In an instant, a huge wave of netizens flooded out of the stream chat and flocked to the channels of the few other streamers who were still broadcasting live from the scene.
As for watching "the view"?
Who the hell had time to watch "the view" now!
「Meanwhile.」
TAP.
Yi Beidou stepped out of the dust and smoke. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and the clothes on his upper body had been torn to shreds by the explosive air current, revealing his magnificent, sculpture-like muscles.
He had been injured by Dong Xuanzi’s single move, and his injuries were not light.
It could even be said that this was the most severe injury he had sustained since achieving Body Ascension.
After all, this man was once a prodigy of his generation, a chosen one of his era. How could a full-power strike from him be anything ordinary?
Furthermore, Yi Beidou himself had not yet found his footing, having only brought out the first star. It was normal for him to be at a disadvantage.
However, Yi Beidou had still managed to withstand that killing blow by relying on the sheer power of his Demon Body. Although injured, his foundation was unharmed, and he could still fight!
His expression was fierce, his gaze like lightning. His Qi locked onto Dong Xuanzi, who was still shrouded in the faint, draconic-tiger halo.
Dong Xuanzi’s expression was incredibly grim.
’This young man’s body is unbelievably tough, and his Heart Intent is unimaginably domineering. He’s a true rarity in this world. And to think he’s also mastered a Secret Technique to harmonize True Qi and strengthen himself.’
’My finishing blow didn’t even have the desired effect.’
’How can someone so young possess such strength?!’
Dong Xuanzi could perceive Yi Beidou’s true age from his facial structure and bones. He almost believed him to be a powerful figure from history, reincarnated through Corpse Dissolution.
’Only that kind of being could possess such strength at this age. Someone who has lived for over a thousand years, with an intimate understanding of the mysteries of the human body and True Qi. Someone for whom Corpse Dissolution is as easy as flipping a palm, whose Divine Powers have reached an incredible realm.’
He had miscalculated. He thought he was facing a young Saint, but he’d never expected a world-conquering true demon.
"Yi Beidou, I’ll tie this person up! You use the move that defeated me that day!"
But the situation didn’t give Dong Xuanzi much time to think.
With his first strike having failed, Zhou Qingchen had already landed on the other side. His figure shot forward like an arrow released from its bowstring. Pure Qi formed into a sharp sword as his voice thundered through the street, announcing his imminent arrival.
