Chapter 846: Checking for Omissions and Making Up for Deficiencies

"Just you talk too much!"

Lu Yang was furious. What if there were more steps? Even if there were more steps, it was still "Law, Heaven, Image, Earth"!

After he turned into a giant hundreds of feet tall, his voice also changed, muffled like thunder, echoing in the mountain stream.

Lu Yang drew the Azure Edge Sword. The immortal sword could change with the change of Lu Yang's body.

Meng Meng Jingzhou didn't be ambiguous either. The shield and spear of the Dharma image collided, setting off layers of spatial ripples, and the Azure Edge Sword made a sharp sword sound.

The collision of two completely different sounds caused a big explosion in the middle of the battlefield, and the whole space was shaking!

The Dharma image's eyes shot out red light columns several feet thick, like magma. Before they even approached Lu Yang, Lu Yang could feel the violent power contained in the light columns.

"Open!"

The Azure Edge Sword slashed down, splitting the red light column into two. The two light columns brushed past Lu Yang's sides. The white sandalwood forest next to Meng Meng Jingzhou's cave dwelling was burned to ashes in an instant, and two deep gullies were drawn on the ground, and the gullies were burned into glass!

The Dharma image stepped forward, and every step would leave a group of flames on the ground. The Dharma image's soles stomped, the earth cracked, and the huge body jumped high.

The Dharma image stepped on the blue sky and the earth, and the pure Yang flames swept across the sky, and even the sky was dyed red, as if the sky was bleeding.

The spear tore the sky, collided with the Azure Edge Sword with the surging sea of fire, the sound of gold and iron rang out like thunder, and the shield on the other side whistled, smashing toward Lu Yang's ribs.

Lu Yang's left hand flashed, and the pitch-black Shadow-Casting Sword appeared, blocking this fierce blow.

A flick of his wrist was a sky-covering sword shadow, and each sword shadow was enough to flatten a mountain top, making Meng Meng Jingzhou not dare to be careless.

"Stop Spear Method!"

Meng Meng Jingzhou used the shield and spear in a way that was no longer as chaotic as before, but became very rhythmic.

The "Stop Spear Method" was a combat technique created by Meng Junzi for Meng Meng Jingzhou.

Meng Junzi made a name for himself in the late Great Yu era, experienced countless battles, and had extremely rich combat experience. According to the characteristics of Meng Meng Jingzhou's Dharma image, he created the "Stop Spear Method" of stopping spears with battles and stopping spears with blood!

A violent storm of spiritual energy swept outward. The two giants in the center of the battlefield were capable of reshaping the landscape with every gesture. The area in front of Meng Meng Jingzhou's cave dwelling had become unrecognizable; no one could tell that this was Meng Meng Jingzhou's cave dwelling anymore!

"One sword transforms into ten thousand swords!"

Countless sword blades suddenly sprouted beneath Lu Yang's feet, thrusting into the ground in a chaotic mess like small hills, restricting Meng Meng Jingzhou's movements.

"Great Sun Magma Arrow!"

The massive body of the Dharma Idol exuded scorching magma. The magma bubbled, steaming the earth and burning the space around it. The spiritual energy also became extremely high in temperature; even cultivators of the same tier would not dare to refine spiritual energy of this temperature, as it would burn their meridians.

These magma droplets hovered in the air, spinning continuously and transforming into arrow feathers before shooting out violently!

"Well done!" Lu Yang's eyes lit up; he knew Old Meng was still hiding some interesting moves.

The sword blades gathered in front of Lu Yang, forming a shield. Any lava arrow feathers that touched the sword-blade shield were slashed into pieces by the sword Qi radiating from it.

Meng Meng Jingzhou seized the opportunity to charge forward while holding his shield. The two shields collided and were both shattered into dust.

Both were sent flying by the force of the other. Meng Meng Jingzhou stabilized his body first and, while Lu Yang had yet to steady himself, charged at Lu Yang once more!

The Dharma Idol lunged forward, pushing aside Lu Yang's block. The two were too close, forcing Lu Yang to abandon his sword and switch to a fist-to-fist confrontation.

Lu Yang slammed a fist into Meng Meng Jingzhou's Dharma Idol, only to find that Meng Meng Jingzhou's Dharma Idol was far harder than his own physical body, making it impossible to break through its defense. Meanwhile, when the Dharma Idol struck Lu Yang, it hurt enough to make him wince.

Lu Yang used Law of Heaven and Earth, which simply made his body larger, whereas Meng Meng Jingzhou's Dharma Idol was based on his physical body and further enhanced it. Since Meng Meng Jingzhou's physical body was already slightly stronger than Lu Yang's, and now reinforced by the Dharma Idol, Lu Yang would fall into a disadvantage in a pure contest of strength and defense.

"How about that, Old Lu? I'm not as good as you with weapons, but you can't beat me in close-quarters combat." Meng Meng Jingzhou laughed heartily, knowing that Old Lu had not yet used insidious moves like the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, which meant Old Lu was testing the flaws of the Law of Heaven and Earth.

Now that the flaw had been exposed, it was time to end this!

"Eight Styles of Heaven-Shaking!"

The Eight Styles of Heaven-Shaking performed by the Dharma Idol were truly world-destroying, forcing Lu Yang into a continuous retreat. Even if Lu Yang could block them, his physical body wasn't strong enough, so blocking wasn't enough.

"Lacking defensive moves..."

Lu Yang recalled the moves he had learned; most of his moves were offensive, with very few defensive ones.

"Wait, I think there really is one!"

"Old Meng, don't think your Dharma Idol is amazing just because it's hard. I have a defensive move too: Six-Zhang Golden Body!"

A golden body sixteen feet tall appeared out of thin air. The two, who had been fighting intensely, suddenly went quiet at the same time.

"Hahahaha—" Meng Meng Jingzhou couldn't hold it in when he saw this scene. He clutched his stomach, laughing until he was out of breath; his Dharma Idol was almost unable to maintain its form.

Lu Yang's eye twitched. His Law of Heaven and Earth was hundreds of feet tall, while the Six-Zhang Golden Body wasn't even as big as his palm. Even if its defensive power was high, what use could it be?

"I've got it!" A flash of inspiration struck Lu Yang.

"Six-Zhang Golden Body, Six-Zhang Golden Body, Six-Zhang Golden Body..."

Lu Yang conjured a whole pile of Six-Zhang Golden Bodies in one breath and stuck them onto his body like armor, covering himself tightly from head to toe.

Lu Yang had grown larger by devouring the earth and spiritual energy, and his giant-sized spiritual energy pool was several times larger than before, allowing him to repeatedly cast the Six-Zhang Golden Body.

"How about it?" Lu Yang showed off his suit of armor; this time, the defensive power was definitely enough.

Meng Meng Jingzhou's eye twitched. Old Lu was covered from head to toe in little figures; the sight was as bizarre as it could get. Even he felt it was too demonic; calling Old Lu a demonic giant wouldn't feel out of place at all.

"Eight Styles of Heaven-Shaking!"

Although the image was terrible, the defensive power was the real deal. Meng Meng Jingzhou unleashed the Eight Styles of Heaven-Shaking on Lu Yang, but the Six-Zhang Golden Bodies absorbed most of the force, and Lu Yang himself was completely unharmed.

"Hiss, it actually works." Even Meng Meng Jingzhou hadn't expected the defensive power of using the Six-Zhang Golden Body as armor to be this high; it could be called outrageous.

"With this, the Law of Heaven and Earth can be considered the complete version." Lu Yang chuckled; finding Old Meng to spar with really helped him identify and fix his flaws.

"My sandalwood forest! What are you two little brats doing? Is this a place for you to engage in combat!"

The Third Elder noticed the commotion and was furious. The two little brats were fighting with power no less than an Integration stage battle, and the land and forest had been completely destroyed!

The ground had even turned into glass under the high-temperature scorching, not to mention the trees, which had long since turned to ash.

There are so many open spaces in our sect, do you two have to fight here?

Especially this forest, his favorite sandalwood forest, which he had carefully tended for so many years—it was all gone in a single fire!

It was true that this was Meng Meng Jingzhou's cave dwelling, but it was also the Third Elder's mountain peak.

In his rage, the Third Elder didn't hold back, landing a punch on each of them, directly hammering the giant Lu Yang and the Dharma Idol Meng Meng Jingzhou into the ground, leaving only their heads exposed.

The Third Elder glared fiercely at Meng Meng Jingzhou: "If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll think you can turn the world upside down, won't you? You brat, go to the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect for two months of compulsory labor before coming back!"

The Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect was the sect in the Great Xia specifically responsible for cleaning up and restoring the landscape after cultivator battles.

Meng Meng Jingzhou nodded repeatedly.

Lu Yang was the disciple of the Daoist Priest Who Does Not Speak, so the Third Elder couldn't discipline him.

After the Third Elder left, the two crawled out of the dirt, still shaken and covered in dust.

"It's all your fault for running over here to test your moves."

"What's the big deal? It's just two months of learning at the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect; I'll go with you."
