Chapter 668: Chaos Dharma Image
The golden Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Image appearing above the Chaos Insect King's body was dozens of zhang tall; its three faces were shrouded in a layer of faint golden light, making them impossible to see clearly! It suddenly let out a low roar from its mouth, and as its six arms flickered, six different types of heavy weapons appeared!
It raised the weapons in its hands above its head and smashed them toward the three giant swords descending from above!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Following three loud bangs, Wujian Diyu shook violently several times, and one could faintly hear the wails of countless lonely souls!
The three giant swords condensed by the Sword Spirit Guided Burial Array also instantly turned into faint spiritual light and vanished! Everyone was stunned this time; the power of the three sword formations was such that even a True Immortal would have their soul scattered if caught within them. No one expected that a single Dharma Image of the Insect King would block them all!
"Lowly, inferior creatures! All of you, go to your deaths for this Emperor!"
Enraged by the preceding series of attacks, the Insect King let out a wild roar. The Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Image above its body flickered as it brandished its heavy weapons; the weapons instantly transformed into six light orbs, each about a zhang in size. With a sound of breaking air, the six light orbs mysteriously vanished from the Dharma Image's hands!
The next moment, the light orbs appeared directly above the heads of Zhang Nuo and the other five, smashing down without a moment's hesitation! This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard!
Zhang Nuo secretly cursed, "Not good." With a movement of his Divine Sense, the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image behind him let out a sudden roar and flew up to meet the attack, while he himself, amidst a peal of thunder, transformed into a slender yellow electric arc and vanished!
Six loud, rumbling bangs rang out. Aside from Zhang Nuo, Garuoda, Jiufang Yi, and the monk Moke, the remaining two golden light orbs struck Dushi Wang and Ding Zheng squarely!
Before they could even let out a scream, the two perished on the spot! Two Great Accomplishment Stage existences had actually failed to withstand even a single strike from the Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Image! One could see just how immense the power within that golden light was!
At this moment, Zhang Nuo's Phantom Immortal Dharma Image staggered as it rushed out from the golden light, its form flickering and nearly collapsing!
Seeing this, Zhang Nuo struck out a golden light with one hand, which flashed and vanished into the Dharma Image's body. The golden light on the Dharma Image's surface then condensed, and a suit of golden armor appeared—it was none other than the Heavenly Demon God Armor!
The great battle had yet to be decided, so the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image had to be protected; as long as this Dharma Image remained, Zhang Nuo could hold on for a while longer!
"Human Emperor, why do you not use the divine abilities within the Myriad Phenomena Map!"
Seeing cultivators perish, Garuoda was extremely anxious. He recalled that during his previous battle with Zhang Nuo, the other party had used another True Immortal divine ability, the Myriad Phenomena Map. He did not know why it had been delayed until now.
Hearing Garuoda's telepathic message, Zhang Nuo gave a bitter smile and sent a message back.
"The Myriad Phenomena Map is cultivated by the two Spirit Beasts within my body; it is not a divine ability of my own physical form. One of those Spirit Beasts is of the Chaos Insect King's bloodline—the moment it appears, it will be immediately reclaimed by it!"
Hearing Zhang Nuo's words, Garuoda's expression changed slightly. Although he had known before that Zhang Nuo had merged with Spirit Beasts, he had not expected that he would have the two Spirit Beasts cultivate the True Immortal technique of the Myriad Phenomena Map! Now, the only chance had also vanished like a bubble!
"Amitabha! This old monk will fight you to the death!"
A high-pitched, anger-filled voice came from the monk Moke. His figure was seen flying high into the sky at some unknown moment. With his palms pressed together, a faint golden light shone from his palms, and several Fowen flashed across the monk's bald head, only to vanish into his palms a moment later!
"Great Zen Prajna Art!"
Zhang Nuo was slightly startled. Years ago, when he was in the Scripture Pavilion of Jile Temple, he had read countless Buddhist texts. One of the Jade Slips contained a record of this immensely powerful art, but it could only be cultivated when one's understanding of Buddhist Dharma was profound; otherwise, one would easily fall into a cultivation deviation!
Looking at the monk Moke, who was a gluttonous, wine-drinking monk, he did not look like an enlightened high monk at all. He never expected that he would be able to cultivate such an art!
Because he had slain two Great Accomplishment Stage existences, the Chaos Insect King's mood had improved somewhat. After glancing up at the monk Moke high in the sky, it let out a cold, disdainful snort from its insect mouth!
Its Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Image, known as the Chaos Dharma Image, was condensed from its own primordial spirit. Its power had long since reached a state of perfection, even surpassing the power of its own physical body. It should not even be looking at the art of a mere Great Accomplishment Stage monk!
Just as the Insect King was contemplating this, the monk Moke high in the sky quickly separated his hands to the left and right. A small golden Buddha appeared before his chest. With a solemn point of his finger, the small Buddha spun rapidly and flew above the head of the Chaos Dharma Image. As its form expanded wildly, it transformed into a massive Buddha statue a hundred zhang tall!
The Buddha statue sat cross-legged, steady as Mount Tai, with one hand placed in front of its chest and the other forming a Buddhist seal!
"Buddha Turning Heaven Seal!"
Following the monk Moke's low shout, the massive Buddha statue's hand, which was forming the seal, pressed down into the void. Instantly, a hundred-zhang-sized '卍' symbol appeared out of thin air, and the golden '卍' symbol covered the Chaos Dharma Image below!
At the same time, the Chaos Insect King moved its Divine Sense, and the six light orbs that had previously attacked the group flew back into the hands of the Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Image with a 'whoosh'. The light faded, and they returned to the appearance of six heavy weapons!
The Chaos Dharma Image brandished the six weapons, and six streaks of golden light soared upward, blocking the descending '卍' symbol! The moment the two made contact, a loud explosion rang out, and golden ripples spread out into the surrounding space!
Seeing this, the monk Moke's heart sank slightly! It seemed this Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Image was indeed the Chaos Insect King's trump card! Its power was far beyond his expectations!
With a movement of his Divine Sense, the giant Buddha statue in the sky pressed its hand down once more. Instantly, another '卍' symbol appeared out of thin air, overlapping with the previous one. Under this renewed pressure, the golden light of the six heavy weapons blocking the '卍' symbol dimmed significantly!
At this moment, Zhang Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly, taking in everything he had just seen. He pointed a finger at the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image, and the Dharma Image beside him soared into the sky. With a few flashes, it rushed to the side of the Insect King! The Dharma Image then grabbed at the void above its head, and with a 'crack', the void shattered!
A surge of Yin Qi flashed from within, and after swirling a few times, it condensed into a vortex of Yin Qi!
"This Emperor shall lend you a hand!"
No sooner had Zhang Nuo's words fallen than the Falling Profound Light rushed out from the Yin Qi vortex. The black light instantly enveloped the six heavy weapons brandished by the Chaos Dharma Image!
Next, a bizarre scene occurred: the six weapons, which had been flashing with golden light, instantly lost their luster, their power greatly diminished! Seeing this, the monk Moke was overjoyed. Countless rays of Buddha light erupted from the Divine Sea phenomenon behind him and poured directly into the body of the great Buddha. Instantly, Sanskrit chants resounded throughout Wujian Diyu, and the great Buddha pressed both palms down simultaneously. A world-destroying power surged and swept toward the Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Image and the Chaos Insect King below!
Discovering that the weapons on the Dharma Image had lost their effectiveness, the Insect King was shocked. Its pair of insect eyes looked toward the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image controlling the Falling Profound Light. After a roar of rage, a golden beetle a zhang in size, looking exactly like a Mysterious Heaven Gold-Devouring Insect, shot out from its body like lightning!
The massive golden beetle arrived before the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image without a moment's pause! It exerted force with its body, using its head to forcefully knock the Dharma Image hundreds of zhang away!
Fortunately, the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image was protected by the Heavenly Demon God Armor, otherwise this strike would have shattered it instantly!
On the other side, the golden Buddha's hands were already pressed onto the '卍' symbol. With their combined power, they whistled through the wind and struck directly above the head of the Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Image!
At this moment, the weaponless Dharma Image had no choice but to use its six arms to take the blow head-on! After a muffled 'boom', the Chaos Dharma Image relied solely on its six arms to withstand the attack of the '卍' symbol and the great Buddha! However, the golden light on the surface of the Dharma Image swirled, and it appeared to have expended a great deal of effort!
At this time, the Chaos Insect King's figure flashed, and it returned to human form, vanishing from where it stood! Everyone present knew what its next target was. Zhang Nuo could not care about much else; yellow electric arcs flashed on his body as he tried to rush to the monk Moke's side to protect him!
But the moment his figure moved, a golden beetle a zhang in size flew toward him, its immense pressure in no way inferior to a Great Accomplishment Stage cultivator!
"Human Emperor, protect yourself first! This Venerable One will go to help Moke!"
Seeing that the situation on Zhang Nuo's side was not good, Garuoda's figure flashed and vanished from where he stood. The next moment, black energy flashed beside the monk Moke, and he appeared!
With Garuoda's protection, he believed the monk should be fine. Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo's gaze fell upon the golden beetle before him. Evil Qi rose in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"This Emperor wants to see just how strong your physical body really is!"
Having said this, Zhang Nuo rolled on the ground, and his body directly transformed into a two-zhang-long, two-headed giant wolf!
Ai Yuchen, who had been standing on the sidelines watching the battle, felt her heart sink suddenly upon seeing Zhang Nuo's transformation, and an expression of disbelief appeared in her beautiful eyes!
She had seen the appearance of the Two-Headed Wolf King long ago when she was in the Demon Realm. She never expected that after thousands of years, it would appear on Zhang Nuo! Could it be that the Wolf King had already been refined by him into a Spirit Beast?
Just as the woman was guessing in her heart, the gray two-headed giant wolf that Zhang Nuo had transformed into clashed and bit at the golden beetle rushing toward him!
For a time, roars were constant. High in the sky, the two figures chased and wrestled, neither willing to give an inch!
At the same time, the Chaos Insect King stood before Garuoda, a half-smiling expression on its face!
