Chapter 179: The Great Sun Shines Upon the Vastness
Although the Earth Dharma Image had not been upgraded and remained below the Innate level, Li Heng had already made preparations beneath the Earth Veins of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, ready to erupt the moment the timing was right!
Just like when dealing with Wang Xuanji before, he could fight enemies above his own rank. Although it was a hasty setup and could not directly slay an Innate demon, it was more than enough to trap them.
The many demons and Weirds present suddenly felt their bodies sink, as if something were pressing down upon them, and the weight was slowly increasing.
Under this pressure, some of the weaker demons could not even stand straight and began to tremble, let alone surround Li Heng. Those demons who could barely withstand the pressure also felt that the closer they got to Li Heng, the greater the gravity became.
In the end, before they could even get within three zhang of Li Heng,
they were all pressed flat to the ground.
The expressions of the Three Sages of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge changed drastically; how could this be possible?
What kind of power was this that they hadn't even noticed? To erupt so suddenly! This was Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, their territory; what on earth was going on!
They, along with those powerful demons, looked at the faintly visible Earth Dharma Image behind Li Heng, revealing expressions of extreme wariness, feeling that this person was mysterious and unfathomable.
That thing seemed somewhat familiar.
Could it be a Dharma Aspect?
Thinking of this possibility, they were all startled. Could this Living Dead Ghost before them be in the Dharma Aspect Realm? Impossible, impossible! They hurriedly denied it.
If he were in the Dharma Aspect Realm, they would have been dead long ago.
Could it be... a semi-crippled Dharma Aspect, a nascent Dharma Aspect?
After this thought arose, the first reaction of those Innate demons was greed. Because to advance from Innate to the Dharma Aspect Realm, one must comprehend the Heaven and Earth Principles and create one's own Dharma Aspect.
And the method for condensing a Dharma Aspect was already extremely scarce.
It could even be said that it was as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns!
But now, this Living Dead Ghost was able to produce a nascent Dharma Aspect. Observing the Dharma Aspect, its aura was extremely profound, even making them feel an urge to throw themselves into it!
All of this indicated that this nascent Dharma Aspect was of a very high grade!
That also meant this Living Dead Ghost's method of condensing a Dharma Aspect must be very brilliant; if they could obtain this technique, perhaps they could truly glimpse the unfathomable Dharma Aspect Realm!
For a moment, many demons wanted to make a move against Li Heng.
Li Heng smiled slightly, not caring at all.
Since these demons wanted to attack him, why wouldn't he want these demons to turn into Source Power? Or rather, he was being so high-profile precisely to incite the greed of these demons, so they would surround and attack him.
There were simply too many demons and Weirds present.
If they all ran away, it would be difficult for him to stop them.
Jinpeng frowned; why did he feel this power was so familiar? It seemed he had seen it somewhere before... but where? He thought back carefully, and a flash of inspiration struck his mind.
That was it!
Back in the Present World, that human powerhouse who had made him suffer a great loss!
Besides using a bright and scorching power to purify the Yin energy, that human powerhouse had also used another completely different power to soothe the Yin energy, making them all sink beneath the earth.
That kind of power was similar to the power used by this Living Dead Ghost!
This was more than just similar; it was identical!
But how could this be?
That one was clearly a human, but the one before him was a Living Dead Ghost. Could it be... A monstrous wave rose in his heart; could this Living Dead Ghost be a human powerhouse in disguise?
That was it; this seemed to be the only thing that made sense.
The human powerhouse killed the owner of the Ancient Residence and saved Kong Que.
That was why Kong Que followed this human here!
But this was equally inconceivable, because he couldn't figure out what method a human could use to disguise themselves as a genuine Living Dead Ghost.
One must know that humans are rejected in the Yin World!
Yet this Living Dead Ghost clearly faced no rejection at all.
Could that disguise method even deceive the Yin World?
Thinking of this, Jinpeng was greatly shocked, feeling that it was somewhat impossible. But according to all the events, they all pointed to this result, so it was unlikely to be wrong.
Jinpeng naturally did not know the power of Li Heng's methods.
Visualizing Yin energy, having Yin energy possess the body, acting like a Weird. Coupled with the Formless Heavenly Demon Essence, it was a double disguise; how could it be so easily detected?
Even the will of the Yin World could not.
If it couldn't provide some shielding, how would a Formless Heavenly Demon, a demon from outside the domain, survive? They would likely be struck dead by lightning before they could even possess a body after arriving in the World from outside the domain.
Jinpeng was now somewhat hesitant.
Should he tell the demons present about his deduction?
As long as he let them know that the Living Dead Ghost before them was a human, he wouldn't even need to waste his breath; these demons watching from the sidelines would definitely attack and slay this human.
But if his deduction was incorrect.
He would likely become a laughingstock...
But the next moment, a ruthless look appeared on his face. Forget about being a laughingstock or not, and forget whether this Living Dead Ghost was a human; he would first trick these demons into attacking him.
This Living Dead Ghost had Kong Que by his side, and Kong Que actually revered him as her master; he must have obtained the secrets of the Kong Que clan. Just for this point, whether he was a Weird or a human, he had to die!
However, Li Heng was faster than him.
He had already sensed that the surrounding Earth Dharma Aspect Power had temporarily isolated and shielded Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, forming a small world similar to a Ghost Domain, which might, as he had hoped, shield the perception of the Yin World.
As long as there was no suppression or rejection from the Yin World,
then he could unleash his full combat power!
In an instant, the Innate Great Sun Dharma Image also manifested.
"Everyone, this Living Dead Ghost is a hum—"
Jinpeng also shouted loudly at this moment, wanting to reveal the truth. But before he could even finish the first syllable of the word "human," the Great Sun Dharma Image had already manifested, shining with great light and illuminating all directions.
Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, although dominated by the demon race.
But being in the Yin World, it is filled with Yin Qi everywhere, a gray expanse, incomparably Weird. Yet at this moment, under the illumination of the Great Sun Radiance, everything gray and dark is swept away, directly changing the style of the scene.
It is just like the sun suddenly exploding in a horror movie.
And so, regardless of what Weirdness or what demons there are, under the impact of this radiance, some weak ones directly vanish into ashes, not even leaving remains, while some with decent cultivation directly suffer heavy injuries.
And those Innate Level demons, although not injured too heavily, also feel that they have received extremely strong suppression, as if they are not in the Yin World at all, but in the Reality where Yang Qi is extremely strong.
Only then did the clan name of Jinpeng escape his lips.
These great demons resist the illumination of the Great Sun Radiance with all their might, and while shocked, they curse inwardly: if you knew, why didn't you say so earlier? Why hide it and keep it in? Now we don't even need to know.
To be able to use such upright and bright power.
If not the human race, then what could it be?
Jinpeng, in his shock, reacts and likewise resists the erosion of the Great Sun Radiance, soon noticing the changes in the expressions of the many great demons, feeling somewhat aggrieved in his heart.
Who knew this human would not even pretend and directly launch an attack?
Even encountering such a turn of events, these great demons are not in a hurry to strike. Because they know, this is the Yin World. In the Yin World filled with Yin Qi, one still dares to use this kind of power?
Isn't that definitely being targeted by the Yin World and courting death?
It is not as if they have never encountered situations where the Yin World was invaded before. Moreover, those few times it was even Dharma Aspect Realm experts of the human race invading, but in the end? They were struck back by the thunder of the Yin World. It is said that one Dharma Aspect Realm expert even died directly after returning to the Present World.
The demons believe this.
If it is like this for the Dharma Aspect Realm, how much more so for this human?
But as time passes, the thunder they expected to come does not strike down, and the Yin World has no reaction at all; instead, because of the long-term erosion of the Great Sun Radiance, their own strength is severely suppressed, and they have suffered not-insignificant injuries.
The demons are dumbfounded; what is going on?
At this time, Li Heng nods with satisfaction.
It seems his approach still has some effect, temporarily shielding the perception of the Yin World. At the same time, he can also feel that the Void barrier forged by the Earth Dharma Aspect Power is beginning to totter, seemingly about to shatter, clearly unable to last long, so he must finish the battle quickly.
"Everyone, we cannot wait any longer, attack together!"
Qingshi shouts in unison, charging toward Li Heng.
Although he does not understand what method this human used to actually shield the perception of the Yin World, he knows that with so many Innate Level demons present, can't we kill one tiny human?
However, it is very clear that this sentence is his own wishful thinking.
Indeed, some demons hesitate and follow Qingshi to charge at Li Heng, but more turn around and run outward, wanting to break away from the range of the Great Sun Dharma Aspect's illumination and escape Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.
I have no grudges or enmity with this human expert, and this human expert is clearly here for Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, so why should I fight to the death with him? Do you really think we are that stupid?
These great demons curse inwardly, feeling they have suffered an unprovoked Disaster.
Then they are blocked by the Void barrier.
Seeing this, Li Heng frowns slightly.
These great demons are really not obedient at all; not surrounding him, but running away directly, what kind of behavior is that? Do you still have the dignity of being great demons? You are truly the worst batch of great demons I have ever seen!
However, although the Void barrier is tottering, it is only relatively speaking, and it can still block them for a period of time; let's solve these demons and Weirdness that came to surround me first!
Qingshi, Baixiang, and Jinpeng pounce toward Li Heng, along with some Innate Level Demon Kings under their command, as well as idle great demons, each with monstrous Terror, stirring up ripples in the Void.
Li Heng smiles, takes a step, and the Great Sun Dharma Aspect shakes.
Instantly, Sun True Fire ignites in the Void, and some weak Innate Level great demons and great Weirdness cannot dodge in time, their bodies directly ignited. Before they can even mobilize Yin Qi to extinguish it, they are already burned to nothing by the Sun True Fire, turning into flying ash.
Instantly, the demons' offensive against Li Heng stops.
A dignified Innate Level, just like that, died.
For a time, a sense of fear rises in the hearts of many demons.
At this time, those great demons and great Weirdness who were running away see that the Void barrier cannot be broken for the moment, and knowing that the core key still lies with Li Heng, they can only helplessly turn back and join the siege.
Qingshi and the others see the great demons and great Weirdness, especially those from major forces, returning, and cannot help but be happy; although they do not understand what happened, for them, this is a good thing.
"This expert, you should be dealing with Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, not us. Please release the Void barrier and let us leave; we will definitely not interfere in the matters between you and Ten Thousand Demon Ridge!"
"Otherwise, we might as well join forces with Ten Thousand Demon Ridge."
"Very strong, but are you sure you can deal with so many of us?"
That meat-mountain demon from the Blood Flesh Cave says coldly.
"Noisy!"
Li Heng says indifferently.
With a movement of his mind, he makes the Great Sun Dharma Aspect and the Earth Dharma Aspect merge and overlap, with the Vast Sun above and the Boundless Earth below, making them a single primordial entity, manifesting the scene of the Vast Sun illuminating the Boundless Earth!
