Chapter 623 - 622: Body Becomes Saintly, Supreme Buddhist Light
Everyone present was shocked when they saw the colossal form of the Candle Dragon sent flying with a single slap.
This flirtatious fox demon was powerful.
Everyone knew that.
After all, if she wasn’t powerful.
Her flirtatiousness wouldn’t have affected everyone...
But no one on the scene expected her to be this strong.
That...
Was a Candle Dragon!
Although it’s far from being an original.
But it was still a divine beast.
An ancient heterogeneous species!
If an ordinary monster encounters it, the simple bloodline pressure can make it too afraid to raise its head.
The one in front of our eyes...
It is from the Upper Three Realms.
Even at their prime and banding together, everyone present wouldn’t dare take it on.
Just a moment ago, Shang Yiqing, who was planning to have a fair fight with someone, watched the shocking scene before him, cursing silently in shock.
D@mn!
Although he had only interacted with Li Jing for a brief moment.
But his manner of doing things is easy to judge.
Typically, people fight when there’s a disagreement.
But this guy would start a fight even without a word...
Of course.
This alone cannot conclude that this fox demon is Li Jing.
Key point.
Of all the people who could be imagined, only Li Jing, who had "met" before, had the ability to flip the Candle Dragon in the Lower Immortal World.
Aside from the scholar and everyone present.
The Candle Dragon that was slapped was still a bit stunned.
Having slept for many years to accumulate strength, it had just woken up and its head was still a bit unclear.
But facing a group of ants from the Ancient Fairyland who were extremely weak, its innate arrogance and instinct told it to put on a tough front.
Before it could figure out how to do that.
Li Jing stood up...
It was still wondering about the situation with the fox demon that smelled strange from head to toe when the latter slapped it.
Then, the ordinary slap, which normally shouldn’t affect it at all, was strong enough to make it see stars...
"Crash!"
There was a loud bang.
The earth shook and the mountains trembled.
The Candle Dragon that was sent flying crashed to the ground, collapsing a huge stretch of mountains.
For a moment.
It began to doubt its own dragon life.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
The soul’s three questions reflected in its mind.
But then, it snapped back to reality.
Being slapped face-to-face so hard that even the dragon scales were torn off, even if it had just awoken from sleep and was still drowsy, it immediately woke up.
"Roar!"
A roar of anger echoed through the heavens and the earth.
The Candle Dragon sprang up gnashing its teeth, its furious Divine Consciousness Sound swept across the entire rift in the space.
"You! Deserve to die!"
In an instant.
The domineering aura that nearly suffocated everyone present swept across the scene.
Faced with such a situation, most people present thought that Li Jing was going to have bad luck.
Yet, Shang Yiqing, the Monk, the Taoist, and the Barbarian Woman were lamenting while looking at the alluring figure who was facing the angry dragon.
The Candle Dragon is definitely stronger than Li Jing.
But here.
This is a Fairy World without rules...
No matter how strong.
It’s just a Half-step Return to Origin.
Maybe at the level of half-step Return to Origin, the Candle Dragon is still stronger than Li Jing.
But this person...
He practices several paths of cultivation.
Not just that.
His Spirit Weapons.
Each one is a genuine Half-step Return to Origin...
The Candle Dragon is probably not his match.
At this moment.
For the sake of the overall situation, they should go up and help.
But will the Candle Dragon accept that?
Looking back.
At this moment, Li Jing is clearly different from when he met them before, his chilling intent to kill is clearly telling everyone that whoever dares to touch him will be killed.
In such a situation.
Would Shang Yiqing and the other four who were previously beaten up dare to move?
Even though Shang Yiqing had already broken the pot and exploded without thinking about the consequences.
But he doesn’t plan to die just like that!
If his cultivation level is lost.
He can start over again.
If the foundation is damaged.
He could find another way.
In the end.
Li Jing only knocked out Ye Piaoran with one move, and didn’t harm his life.
He also didn’t intend to hurt Ye Piaoran any further.
So...
Does he need to desperately fight someone he can’t beat?
In the distance.
The Candle Dragon released its Qi, let out a high-pitched dragon roar, and glared fiercely at Li Jing’s direction.
The innate divine ability of Candle Dragon.
A glance that spans a million years.
Li Jing trembled all over.
This innate divine ability, similar to an eye technique, was the first time he encountered it.
Defend?
He thought about it.
Although this was his first encounter with the Candle Dragon, he learned from various myths and legends related to it that the eyes of a heterogeneous species like the Candle Dragon are quite special.
Classifying the Candle Dragon as an ordinary monster.
Its extraordinary eyes would naturally evolve the exclusive racial talent of the Candle Dragon line.
But how do you defend against that?
There’s no way to defend!
The Candle Dragon simply stared at him...
For a moment, Li Jing inwardly cursed that something was wrong.
But immediately after, he wore a strange expression.
Just for an instant.
He could clearly feel time speeding by rapidly on his body, and in the blink of an eye, several millions of years had passed.
Such a violent passage of time.
Depleted all the vitality within his body in a single go...
At his current level, his natural lifespan would naturally be far more than millions of years.
However, the most terrifying aspect of the Candle Dragon lineage’s innate divine power lies right here.
The passing of millions of years in the blink of an eye is not the main point, the important thing is that no matter how powerful you are, this passing of millions of years will take all of your vitality away.
Unfortunately...
Nothing is more abundant in Li Jing than vitality.
Just like that.
When the vitality within his body was depleted, the effects of Lingling’s Symbiotic Contract activated as the fox demon in his form just began to show signs of aging, replenishing his vanished vitality within a millisecond.
Accompanying it was,
Li Jing’s physical strength instantly reached its limit...
He had ascended to the Emperor level, and then took a half-step Return to Origin.
He had almost crossed three and a half realms in total...
The stagnation of body cultivation which could not be improved by levelling up was a problem that had been vexing him.
This problem,
Can be solved in two ways.
He could immerse himself in the Zhenyuan Tower until he reached the limit.
The duration could be hundreds of years.
Or, it could be thousands of years.
It may even be tens of thousands of years...
Another way,
Would be for Li Jing himself to dedicate time to deepen his body cultivation...
This would take even longer.
There was no other way.
His realm advancement was too great; his body cultivation could not keep up with his progress.
The only fortunate thing was,
He had obtained an Immortal Medicine in advance, which in one go, elevated his physical strength to a level not inferior to that of a common Emperor-level Great Demon.
But his limit was still there...
Once he reached the limit, he would skyrocket.
But there was no need to think about that in the short term...
Li Jing himself had no intention of rushing it.
He had attracted Xiang Yunxian with the sole purpose of letting her regularly prepare spirit medicine for him to strengthen his physical strength, while gradually deepening his body cultivation with the help of the Zhenyuan Tower’s time flow rate.
Who could have imagined that the Candle Dragon’s fatal gaze would resolve all his troubles?
Seeing that someone who had fallen victim to his fatal move seemed unaffected and stood there like nothing had happened, the Candle Dragon frowned in a decidedly anthropomorphic manner.
The situation...
Didn’t seem quite right?
Why hasn’t this fox demon’s hair even turned white?
That’s illogical!
His inherited divine power couldn’t possibly fail.
This move,
When used in the Upper Three Realms, could easily handle any opponent below the Immortal King Realm.
The premise was that the opponent had been hit, but the great thing about the racial talents of their Candle Dragon lineage is that they are hard to guard against...
And this move, the Candle Dragon lineage would not bring out lightly.
The people who had seen it were all dead.
Therefore, very few people knew its characteristics.
Without knowing the characteristics, of course, there’s no way to mention finding effective countermeasures.
It is equivalent to a final killer move.
There was no reaction at all from Li Jing...
Are you referring to this beaver?
Just as he was puzzled,
"Thump, thump", two powerful beats echoed throughout the world.
?
Candle Dragon.
?
The others present.
This sound...
It sounded like a heartbeat?
This...
Did someone in the rift space become a saint by Body Cultivation!?
A heart beating in harmony with the heavens and earth, this is a sign recognized by cultivators that one has become a saint through Body Cultivation.
Subconsciously, everyone on scene looked around.
And then,
Everyone froze and simultaneously turned their gaze towards the frail and enticing figure in the sky that seemed like it would fall with a blow of the wind.
No way, right?
It couldn’t be, could it?
Just as everyone was questioning,
"Boom!"
With a loud sound, a terrifying Blood Qi burst out of Li Jing’s body, completely dyeing the entire world red.
In that moment.
The sky was red.
The land was also red.
In the air,
There was also a hot, fierce Blood Qi that was frighteningly alarming.
Everyone there was dumbfounded.
Shang Yiqing and the three others simply displayed an expression like they had seen a ghost.
Li Jing is very unpredictable.
They’re well aware of that.
But this...
It’s a bit too unpredictable!
A sudden breakthrough on the battlefield.
Body becoming Saintly.
Isn’t this too outrageous!
This level of body cultivation is not something that the Return to Origin Realm should be able to achieve.
Usually, one would at least have to wait until the late stages of the Immortal King Realm.
Li Jing in front of them was just a Half-step Return to Origin...
How could he possibly become a saint through Body Cultivation?
It couldn’t be that he stepped on dog poo, and after having an Immortal Medicine, his body and Primordial Spirit became immortal, fulfilling the basic standards of becoming a Saint through Body Cultivation and at the same time, his body possesses an almost endless potential for growth?
Correct answer.
Initially thought by the four, but quickly rejected.
Immortal Medicine.
This is a top-tier item that even people in the Upper Three Realms just hear of and have no chance of seeing.
If placed in the Ancient Fairyland of the past, it would be enough to stir up a reign of terror.
How could Li Jing possibly get it?
So,
What did the Candle Dragon do?
Did he remotely give Li Jing a baptism?
At this moment,
The Candle Dragon was wondering the same thing.
What had he done?
The opponent, who had clearly been given a lethal divine power, was fine, why did he also become a saint through Body Cultivation?
While he was still baffled, a surge of Blood Qi suddenly receded.
?
The Candle Dragon looked around puzzlingly, then warily looked at Li Jing.
Body Becoming Saintly.
Not to mention that even he had not reached this level.
In the Immortal Realm filled with the absence of rules, this means Li Jing has truly become invincible...
At this moment.
He does not need to use any means to fight.
He does not need any innate divine abilities.
And he certainly does not need any magic skills.
With just his physical body alone.
He can conquer everything.
Over here.
Li Jing felt his own changes, with a more peculiar expression.
What does Body Becoming Saintly mean?
And how to achieve Body Becoming Saintly, he did not understand.
These.
They are all "knowledge points" that he has not yet touched upon.
But Lingling understands.
At this moment, the little thing is speaking in his heart.
""Li Jing, you’re truly the best! You have Body Becoming Saintly so soon. Thanks to you, my transformation will truly begin! Now, I need to sleep for a while. If anything happens, look for Xiaocai.""
After leaving these words, there is no more movement from Lingling in the Little Universe.
Subconsciously.
Li Jing looked inward
At this time, Lingling is still in her leafy nest on the Life Tree.
The difference is.
At this moment, Lingling was surrounded and sleeping in a green cocoon, unlike usually just covering herself with a leaf as a quilt.
Through the Symbiotic Contract, Li Jing could feel.
The property of Lingling’s power is gradually becoming stronger.
In addition to the thousands of existing life rules she originally had, some inexplicable powers, seemingly related to the boundary of life and death, are quietly emerging and mingling among them.
As Lingling’s power properties change, so did the vitality in his body, bringing a different flavor.
Although it is not clear what is going on.
It’s undoubtedly a good thing that Lingling has officially started to transform.
When she wakes up again.
She will no longer be just the Spirit of Origin, but a higher-level Origin.
Isn’t this an unexpected joy!?
Raising his eyes.
Li Jing’s eyes met with the Candle Dragon’s.
Their eyes on each other, Li Jing gave a kind smile.
"Thank you."
"..."
This Candle Dragon.
Even though he did not know what was going on.
The changes on Li Jing were obviously influenced by its innate divine abilities "The Look of Millennium".
Body Becoming Saintly!
Theoretically, this level might only be achieved in the later stages of Immortal King Realm.
It’s not to mention how difficult it is to ultimately achieve it. Just stepping into the Immortal King Realm is as difficult as reaching the sky.
Remember.
The Three God Emperors and Five Sacred Emperors of the Upper Three Realms, in essence, are nothing more than the late stage of Immortal King Realm.
What makes them strong is that their independent world has already turned into a vast universe just like the Big World, in the true sense, they can be called the creator of the world.
Both in sentiment and reason.
Li Jing should thank it.
But this is not exactly what it wanted...
Facing the appreciation, the Candle Dragon opened his mouth full of sharp teeth, shook his body, and transformed into a handsome young man. He bowed from afar with both hands together.
"Good man.... oh no, virtuous lady, please spare me."
"..."
All players involved in this situation.
Candle Dragon’s transformation into a human form and bowing to Li Jing, it’s understandable.
The other party has achieved Body Becoming Saintly.
No matter facing the modern Immortal Realm or the past Immortal Realm, even the Upper Three Realms, he can be regarded as a great ability of body cultivation.
In the world of cultivation.
The strong are respected.
When meeting a person with great ability, one should show respect.
If not, they won’t even know how they died...
The problem is that the Candle Dragon was too easily frightened...
In the eyes of most people on the scene, the Candle Dragon hadn’t even started to fight yet.
In their understanding.
As a descendant of the original.
An ancient heterogeneous species.
Even if the Candle Dragon has not achieved Body Becoming Saintly, it has the ability to arm wrestle with it.
Beast Cultivation.
Bloodline, compared to the realm, can better determine their upper limit.
Especially reaching the level of the Candle Dragon, the power of the bloodline has already been developed.
But it backed down...
And it backed down extremely simply.
Over here.
Li Jing confronted the Candle Dragon’s surrender with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, opening his mouth without saying a word.
"You should already be aware that I am the disruptor, aiming to stop this big game from moving on."
Upon hearing these words, the Candle Dragon opened its eyes and nodded. He faintly said.
"I naturally don’t want the big game to fail. But, within this Immortal Realm, I can’t beat you."
"So, you’re ready to just let it go?"
Li Jing tilted his head.
"Whether to let it go or not, it’s not up to me."
The Candle Dragon spoke, looked up at the sky, then looked at Li Jing again.
"I’ve already surrendered. You won’t kill me, right?"
Li Jing fell silent.
Telling the truth.
He really wanted to kill this Candle Dragon.
This guy with a health bar as high as 20998 on his head and essence value displayed as 275920452 behind his health bar.
Nearly three hundred million...
What does three hundred million mean?
Fifteen Southern Monster Emperor Jin Ritians!
That’s enough for him to level up five to six times on the spot...
More importantly.
The Candle Dragon’s glance upwards clearly told him.
Due to his involvement, the big game is now in the awkward situation of not being able to move forward, and some existences should not be able to refrain from taking action.
But the other party has already pleaded for mercy.
How can he make a move?
Moreover, the Candle Dragon’s surrender is not a ruse.
As the Candle Dragon said.
Whether the big game continues is not up to him to decide.
He himself was also just a chess piece in the game.
Li Jing silently looked up at the high sky, then turned his head back and said.
"If I’m not wrong, even if I kill you now, I’m afraid it may not complete the termination of the Immortal Realm’s big game that has been brewing for countless years."
Hearing this, the Candle Dragon merely smiled and did not respond.
Shang Yiqing and others in the situation looked at each other as they heard the two people’s conversation in the high sky.
The Candle Dragon retracted in a second.
They were not only disappointed.
They were even a bit desperate...
If the circumstance stopped here and couldn’t be pushed on, then their many years of hibernation would be wasted, and the long-cherished wish they wanted to fulfill would become a daydream.
However, the words of the two couldn’t help but give them hope.
Yes!
The big shots of the Upper Three Realms should make a move.
Such a grand situation, it is needless to think one should know that there is not just one hand prepared in advance.
Just as everyone was contemplating this, a golden light silently cut through the sky and shrouded Li Jing.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this.
The Candle Dragon withdrew silently upon seeing this.
The only monk on the ground who followed Buddhism revealed an extremely fanatic look in the face of this situation, his hands clasped together, chanting the Buddha’s name loudly.
"Amitabha! The most holy Buddha’s Light, our Buddhist Saint Emperor has made a move."
Hearing such words, everyone present showed a look of horror.
The Buddhist Saint Emperor!?
This can’t be...
It’s getting serious, isn’t it?
How did he manage to make a move on Li Jing across a space level?
Over here.
Shrouded in Buddha’s light, Li Jing frowned.
What should be faced, must always be faced.
Speaking out for Ye Piaoran, he could admit that he got carried away.
Taking this step, he must bear the cost.
He didn’t back down.
However, at this moment being enveloped by the Buddha’s light, he didn’t feel anything special.
Just questioning what was happening, a gentle whisper echoed in his ear.
"Amitabha, Benefactor, you have killed too much and have demon qi entwining your body, you should put down the butcher’s knife and do good in the world. I, Buddha, am compassionate, and I can give you a chance to enter my empty door."
Hearing this whisper, Li Jing was slightly surprised, then chuckled and looked up.
"I didn’t think Buddhism was shameless before, but lately, it’s become more and more annoying. What a chance to enter the empty door, are you asking me to abandon my wife and child and become a monk...".
Before he could finish speaking, Li Jing’s body stiffened.
His state of becoming a demon, was forcibly removed.
Not only that.
The Fifth Origin that brought him the ability to become a demon is rapidly weakening.
Li Jing’s six origins are all of the same line.
If one is weak, all are weak.
It was like a chain reaction.
The weakening of the Fifth Origin led to the simultaneous weakening of the six origins in his body.
In the blink of an eye.
His whole body’s cultivation level had almost hit rock bottom.
Simultaneously,
The killing qi suppressed in his body was swept away.
Suddenly facing this situation, Li Jing was more than shocked.
He knew that the other party was strong, and not in the same class as he is now.
But he didn’t think he could be that strong...
Across a space level, a ray of Buddha’s Light and a sentence were about to ruin him!
At this moment,
He even sensed that the Linglong and other instruments corresponding to his five origins couldn’t maintain their spirit form due to the power weakening and their physical bodies scattered at Chen Yuran’s side, who they were originally to protect.
Damn it!
He was a bit too confident.
But this...
Wasn’t that an exaggeration?!
What to do?!
Li Jing’s thoughts turned quickly.
But seeing that his body, which had just become saintly due to the weakening of his sources, was rapidly weakening, he couldn’t help but sweat profusely.
Just when he was about to despair,
The sleeping Saint in the Little Universe realm suddenly opened his eyes.
"Remember, you owe me."
The calm and ethereal words echoed in Li Jing’s ears.
The next instant,
A towering image of a woman appeared behind Li Jing.
The Candle Dragon was silently waiting for him to be handled after Li Jing was immersed in the Buddha’s light.
Who would have expected such a sudden change?
Seeing the phantom of the woman, the Candle Dragon almost bulged his eyes out.
"Human...human...human..."
On the ground, all the people in the game knelt down involuntarily when they saw the phantom of the woman.
Not just them.
The Buddha’s light that had been eroding Li Jing stopped abruptly because of the appearance of the phantom.
The Human Saint.
The apex of the entire human race.
The Buddha.
Was once a human too.
See the saint.
Respect is necessary.
But the phantom of the Human Saint didn’t do anything to the Buddha’s light, nor did it slap towards the high sky, but pointed at Li Jing’s forehead.
The next instant,
The whole world’s wind and cloud changed color.
A tiny intent buried deep in Li Jing’s body was touched.
"Boom!"
A loud noise.
A black thunderbolt tore apart the rift space.
Note,
It was the rift space.
This world with its own sky was torn open by black thunder.
This,
Was the Heavenly Punishment from the Big World!
In an instant,
The black thunderbolt hit the Buddha’s light enveloping Li Jing, extinguishing the physical golden Buddha’s light to nothingness, and merged into his body.
In this moment, everything in Li Jing was restored.
Not only that.
His state at this moment, has risen to be more fierce than when the Body of Thunder Punishment in All Worlds was fully fired up.
"I’ll open a path for you, lend you strength, do you dare to go for a walk in the Upper Three Realms?"
The thrilling female voice sounded.
Big World’s Heavenly Taoist.
Li Jing’s spirit shook, and he spoke decisively.
"You’re asking me if I dare?"
Before his words fell,
A slender jade hand pushed open a door in front of Li Jing’s chest, and a middle finger was raised towards the high sky.
"Boom!"
Again, Heavenly Punishment tore apart the world.
This time, the Heavenly Punishment penetrated everything.
End of Chapter
