Chapter 87: Divine abilities burst forth, the Black Dragon's blood stains the high heavens!
Wuliang Sihai!
Chen Ku and the Black Dragon's battle continues.
The Myriad Dragon Bell rings incessantly, heavenly sounds shake the firmament.
In the endless void, countless illusory dragon shadows intertwine into a vast expanse, as vast as smoke and waves, too many to count.
However, under Chen Ku's Six Roots Pure Bamboo, bursts of divine radiance shoot forth, yet they can only turn into streams of flowing light that vanish, ceasing to exist.
Frustrating!
So frustrating!
The Black Dragon's brows knit tightly, his eyes gloomy like water, his anger unstoppable!
Know that he is a top-tier existence among the Dragon Clan, having cultivated for endless ages.
By contrast, Chen Ku can undoubtedly be called a junior in the face of the Black Dragon.
Unexpectedly, in today's battle, the Black Dragon did not, as expected, overwhelmingly crush Chen Ku.
On the contrary, Chen Ku subtly gains the upper hand; each of his attacks makes the Black Dragon's scalp tingle, his heart tremble, and he dare not confront them head-on.
"Ah.... you dare?!"
"My Wuliang Sihai territory, how can I allow you to run rampant?!"
The Black Dragon's furious roar spreads throughout Wuliang Sihai, shattering the void and stirring boundless waves.
Whoosh...
In an instant, the vast sea surface surges tumultuously.
A colossal whirlpool tens of thousands of zhang tall suddenly emerges.
At the vortex's center, the qi flow pours upward like a rainbow, continuously infusing the Black Dragon's body, making his surrounding cold light ever more piercing, and each scale emits a frigid gleam.
As he said, being within the Wuliang Sihai territory, the Black Dragon naturally holds the advantage of terrain.
This move is precisely to seize the power of Wuliang Sihai and empower himself.
Yet, seeing the Black Dragon's even greater momentum, Chen Ku instead smiled.
Isn't this just perfect?!
The Black Dragon appears to be empowered by Wuliang Sihai, his aura surging forward leaps and bounds.
However, likewise, the immense karmic burdens borne by the Dragon Clan now also pour into his body.
Isn't this once again the moment for my Heavenly Dao law to display its might?
Chen Ku gave a faint smile; with a thought, the Heavenly Dao law directly manifested.
Instantly, he became even more solemn and dignified, his body radiating light.
Myriad Buddha lights burst forth, illuminating the nine heavens and ten earths, startling all beings in the universe.
Chen Ku continued to evolve the myriad divine abilities great technique, pouring forth without reservation.
Only see streams of divine radiance pouring down, unstoppable, terrifying beyond compare.
This time, even as strong as the Black Dragon, under that overwhelming might, his form could not help but retreat repeatedly.
"Damn it, what's going on?!"
"Why is my mana being suppressed, becoming sluggish beyond measure?"
The Black Dragon roared, also filled with great doubt.
This is due to the boundless karma the Dragon Clan owes to the primordial heavens and earth.
The more astonishing the karma, the stronger the suppression by the Heavenly Dao law upon it.
It can be said that by employing such means, Chen Ku has inherently weakened the Black Dragon by three tenths, making it impossible for him to exert his full strength.
For a moment, the Black Dragon felt even more tormented!
Seeing Chen Ku's imposing aura, he once again unleashed the Great Divine Ability of Flying Body and Tracing Steps, his form like a ghost as he lunged to attack.
The Black Dragon covertly grinned, gritting his teeth.
The esteemed leader of the Dragon Clan now appears to be being beaten down by Chen Ku.
In an instant, the Black Dragon burned with rage, endless killing intent surged, and his eyes became ferociously fierce.
"Scoundrel, I don't believe it; even if your mana is heaven-shaking, how much strength does your flesh truly have?!"
"Go die!"
The Black Dragon grew wise, no longer using his own mana, lest he remain suppressed by the Heavenly Dao.
As his words fell, his colossal, peerless physique suddenly burst forth with astonishing speed, stirring the boundless universe, carrying the might to shake heaven and earth, and he charged straight at Chen Ku.
This strike is unmatched in its ferocity, tyrannical beyond compare!
And his intention is also extremely clear.
Since his mana cannot overcome Chen Ku, he will directly use his physical body to smash that damned brat to death.
The Black Dragon's physical might, held back nothing, collapsed the high heavens wherever he passed, causing countless stars to roar and explode, shattering into dust.
Were it any other cultivator witnessing this scene, they would surely have their scalps burst, their livers and gall nearly burst, and dare not confront its edge.
After all, the Dragon Clan, once the overlords of heaven and earth, possess physiques comparable to spiritual treasures, capable of destroying the sturdy and withering the weak.
But Chen Ku is different from ordinary cultivators.
Know that his flesh is comparable to that of the Wu Clan.
Seeing the Black Dragon charge forth in a reckless, desperate manner,
Chen Ku merely shook his head and gave a cold chuckle.
"Hehe, are you flustered and exasperated?"
"Since you want to clash head-on, then this humble Daoist will accompany you."
Chen Ku remained calm and fearless; instead, his whole body's qi and blood boiled, surging forth like a mighty river.
Afterwards, he threw a punch that was explosively violent.
This punch erupted with blinding golden divine light that stretched for miles, ripping through spacetime.
Though he hadn't summoned his dharma aspect, Chen Ku's true form was even more majestic and sacred than the dharma aspect, beyond violation.
The punch struck with lightning speed, piercing the void.
In an instant, it slammed onto the black dragon's body.
Boom!
A muffled blast erupted.
Immediately, blood rained down across the sky, spraying the universe and staining it a sickening red—a horrifying sight.
"Hmph..."
The black dragon shuddered violently, letting out a pained groan.
He lowered his gaze and saw his towering form, like a divine ridge of an immortal mountain, now a gaping wound pouring dragon blood.
The black dragon was shocked!
Chen Ku's punch had actually punched straight through his body.
"You..."
He stared in disbelief at Chen Ku across from him.
Such bodily power was terrifying, completely exceeding the black dragon's expectations.
Damn it!
I thought Chen Ku was just thick‑skinned, but I never imagined he was thick‑skinned everywhere.
Even in a test of brute strength, I am still no match.
"Damn it, damn it!"
"This kid is too much of a hassle."
"I don't need to flaunt my strength now; I'll withdraw and reconsider later."
At this point, the black dragon's magic and body were both utterly subdued.
There's no hope left of defeating Chen Ku.
Even if the fight drags on, I could end up worse off.
That would be detrimental to the dragon clan's schemes.
More importantly, if the delay drags on and summons the Welcoming Bodhisattva, it would be disastrous for me.
Since I'm outmatched, I'll pull back for now.
With that thought, the black dragon instantly turned and readied itself to escape.
But Chen Ku had already foreseen this.
"Heh, you think you can just show up and leave whenever you want?!"
"Since you've pushed me to use all my tricks, you're destined to be linked with my Western path."
"You might as well stay."
Upon hearing "you are fated with my Western way," the black dragon hesitated.
Chen Ku then swept his hand forward.
He unleashed the Buddha‑nation held in his palm once more.
Instantly, immortal light suffused the air, divine radiance blanketed the ground, and the Buddha‑nation's pure land manifested again.
The scene within became clearly visible.
The corpse‑puppet Daoist and the Golden Toad Ancestor now looked even more solemn and majestic, illuminated by Buddha light.
Standing silently high in the heavens, they emanated a distinct Buddha aura that was breathtaking.
Furthermore, each had a massive dragon coiled behind them, motionless yet radiating a quasi‑saint aura.
These phenomena were truly astonishing.
Rather than mere phenomena, everything felt utterly solid, as if a genuine immortal's treasure land were hanging in the air.
The black dragon instinctively stared; at one look its face paled and its pupils contracted.
"Surely it's you?!"
