Chapter 521: Chapter 127: Deciding Life and Death!

The Four Martial Arts Realms, understanding its meaning is the final stage.

At this level, one achieves perfection and returns to simplicity.

This is not only about grasping, adapting, and integrating form and spirit in a fist technique, but also about understanding its essence and spiritual level.

Reaching this level, one is no longer constrained by moves; any casual gesture embodies the mental realm of the fist technique, the martial artist’s intent, and the formidable power of martial arts will!

Of course, Chen Tang has only touched the threshold of Fist Intent.

There’s a world of difference between him and a Grandmaster of Transformation Realm, with their true Sword Intent and Blade Intent.

In fact, it is the kind of power that only a Grandmaster of Transformation Realm can comprehend.

The reason why Chen Tang could master many martial arts and reach the Divine Realm within a few short years is primarily because of Entering the Divine State, tapping into the grandmaster’s spiritual power.

This time, he was able to touch the edge of Fist Intent because of his repetitive cultivation of the Visualization Method, strengthening his divine soul.

Last time in the Taoist temple, he fell into a mystical state, as if overlooking everything, perceiving it more vividly and accurately than seeing with his own eyes.

Any minor disturbance could be perceived, which was actually a change brought about by the strengthening of his divine soul.

That was essentially a state of ’Soul Emergence.’

In the Profound Sect, those who reach the Nascent Soul Realm have similar dharma gates.

However, the divine soul in the Nascent Soul Realm is extremely fragile, unable to venture out under the bright sun.

Faced with heavy rain or fright, the divine soul would be damaged, and even if it returned to the body, the body would be weakened.

This is an extremely dangerous act in the Profound Sect.

Once the body is damaged, and the soul cannot return, it becomes a wild ghost.

Further steps bring you to the Returning to Void Realm, cultivating the divine soul to Pure Yang Realm, fearing not sun and storm; as long as the body is properly placed, one can roam freely in the heavens anytime, anywhere.

Whether it’s the Profound Sect or Martial Arts, or the Horizontal Training Method, different routes lead to the same destination, unifying all dharmas.

This level is referred to as the Transformation Realm in martial arts!

What we call mastery, ’entering the divine’ refers to soul roaming; ’transformation’ refers to martial arts and realm reaching Transformation Realm.

Chen Tang is still unclear about the mysteries of the ’divine soul’, still in the exploratory stage, but the Fist Intent he comprehended has already exploded with power beyond this martial arts realm!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

What a Chen Tang, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, unleashed over two hundred punches again.

The punches were like a downpour of golden light, almost drowning the Zagu Monk!

Not to mention this kind of fist technique, the sheer terror of his stamina alone has already left many Jianghu experts in shock.

The abbot of Da Kong Temple and several high monks had already rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

Seeing the scene on the battlefield, their expressions changed dramatically!

The Zagu Monk seemed able to withstand Chen Tang’s punches, and his body surface appeared unharmed, but the golden light on his face gradually dimmed, and blood started coughing up from his mouth!

This was a sign of severe internal injuries.

The Zagu Monk staggered back, full of unwillingness.

He could not fathom how a burly man who emerged from nowhere could possess such terrifying power.

The energy contained within this person seemed endless, far surpassing any master he had ever seen!

Moreover, this man’s fist technique contained a powerful impact force, like waves crashing against the shore.

Single punches of three or five couldn’t break through his Golden Body.

But repeated accumulation, all two-hundred plus punches, could penetrate through his flesh and bones!

Accompanied by this man’s fists, akin to two golden hammers, the force burst through his Vajra Indestructible Body, reverberating within his viscera repeatedly!

At this moment, his flesh and bones remained intact, but his internal organs were damaged under such shock, seeping blood!

His Vajra Indestructible Body appeared to be ineffective before this person.

If it weren’t for the relentless beating of his cultivated Vajra Heart, with its immensely potent bloodline and vigorous life force, he would have long lost the strength to hold on.

"Who exactly is this person?"

The Zagu Monk’s heart surged with doubts.

He had long heard his master mention that the Divine Land was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, but he didn’t believe it.

Two years ago, his junior brother was defeated by a lay disciple in Beiqian, even kneeling on the spot, losing all face, and becoming the joke of the Esoteric Sect.

Is it possible that today, he is to suffer the same fate?

Indeed, the Zagu Monk had committed too many misdeeds, and karma led him to encounter Chen Tang.

Many of his trump cards, such as the Sound Strike Technique, were useless against Chen Tang.

The Vajra Unbreakable Technique didn’t give him any advantage either.

And in this escape, Chen Tang encountered only Third Grade masters, even competing with Earth Ranking masters, being injured by the top Earth Ranking He Shiyao, he was filled with repressed anger.

Now, he finally caught a monk of the same realm, really beating him to a pulp.

This ebb and flow, in this battle, Chen Tang fought with exhilarating pleasure, a thrill never felt before!

Seeing the unfavorable situation, the Zagu Monk braced himself.

No!

I cannot lose!

To lose today would not only be a loss of the Esoteric Sect’s face, but also would shatter all legends and myths about him!

He could not afford to lose.

With rising malice, the Zagu Monk reached into his robe, suddenly pulling out a gold-made Vajra Pestle, viciously striking at Chen Tang’s fist!

This Vajra Pestle was a dharma artifact passed down in the Esoteric Sect, not only indestructible but also containing mysterious power.

No matter how hard this person’s fists were, could they match the Vajra Pestle’s hardness?

He used to say that he never used weapons.

Even boasting a title of compassion, converting the masses, but at this moment, driven desperate, he no longer cared about compassion or reputation.

Seeing the Zagu Monk reach into his robe, Chen Tang had already prepared.

When he saw the Zagu Monk coming with a Vajra Pestle, Chen Tang struck with his fist. Just before contact, he suddenly changed his move, transforming into the Dragon-Subduing Hand, seizing the monk’s wrist joint.

At the beginning of their confrontation, the Zagu Monk possessed formidable strength and abundant stamina, with a body of Vajra Indestructible, which the Dragon-Subduing Hand couldn’t subdue.

Just as he touched it, he was shaken off by the strong force from Zagu Monk’s muscles and bones.

And now, after nearly five hundred moves, Zagu Monk was already exhausted.

Although there were no external injuries, his muscles and bones were already sore, weak, and in unbearable pain, reaching the limit of endurance.

Crack!

A chilling bone-breaking sound echoed, shocking the world!

With this change of move, Chen Tang utilized the explosive force of the Dragon-Subduing Hand to instantly break Zagu Monk’s wrist and snatched the Vajra Pestle!

"Ah!"

Zagu Monk let out a miserable cry.

Chen Tang originally intended to use the snatched Vajra Pestle to smash Zagu Monk’s head.

But the moment his palm touched the Vajra Pestle, the Vajra Relic in his dantian slightly moved.

Subsequently, a mysterious energy surged from the Vajra Pestle into Chen Tang’s body, completely absorbed by the Vajra Relic in his dantian!

This relic seemed more radiant, completely suppressing the other two masses of energy in the dantian.

"Stop!"

"The outcome is decided!"

"Spare him!"

The abbot of Da Kong Temple and several high monks didn’t intend to intervene when they saw Zagu Monk using a weapon.

But unexpectedly, in just one exchange, Zagu Monk’s weapon was snatched.

Seeing the dire situation, the high monks hurriedly shouted to stop the fight.

Some had already rushed towards the duo!

They couldn’t let Zagu Monk die at Da Kong Temple.

After all, he was an Esoteric Master, renowned and respected.

Having an incident at Da Kong Temple might easily cause enmity with the Esoteric Sect.

Chen Tang, after seizing the Vajra Pestle, was momentarily stunned by the anomaly of the Vajra Relic.

It was during this distraction that Zagu Monk’s eyes lit up, seeing a chance to escape!

At this moment, he couldn’t care about his dignity; survival was most important.

He swiftly retreated.

However, under such intense pressure, after nearly five hundred punches from Chen Tang, his legs had already gone weak.

This retreat was staggering, with no body technique left, nearly collapsing to the ground.

On the other side.

Chen Tang ignored the approaching high monks, his eyes gleaming, directly entering the Divine Illumination State. He deployed the ’Chasing Shadows’ body technique, instantly appearing before Zagu Monk, raising the Vajra Pestle to smash down!

"Ah!"

Zagu Monk, with his right wrist broken, widened his eyes, using his free left hand to grab at the Vajra Pestle!

Snap!

His palm tightly grasped one end of the Vajra Pestle.

This move indeed showcased his talent, more of a combat instinct.

In such a perilous situation, he could still stop the Vajra Pestle bare-handed.

The two of them gripped the Vajra Pestle’s ends with both hands, competing in strength, neither giving an inch!

But with Zagu Monk’s one hand injured, Chen Tang still had a free hand.

Thud!

Chen Tang’s pale-golden fist hammered heavily on Zagu Monk’s chest, like a drum being struck on the battlefield!

Within the dull sound, there was a subtle tearing sound, as if the drumhead was being torn apart.

Zagu Monk’s face lost all color, and he staggered back a few steps, glaring at Chen Tang, standing motionless.

On the other side.

The high monk from Da Kong Temple intending to stop Chen Tang found he had stopped only a remnant image.

In his momentary daze, the two behind him had exchanged another move, and the outcome was decided!

The entire Da Kong Temple was silent, the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.

Everyone forgot to breathe, their faces filled with shock as they watched the two motionless figures in the battlefield.

Time seemed to freeze.

Suddenly!

Zagu Monk opened his mouth, spitting out a mixture of blood and numerous fragments, then he fell backward into the rubble, dust swirling, lifeless.

The abbot of Da Kong Temple flickered to Zagu Monk’s side, grabbed his wrist, and infused a deep, pure Innate True Qi.

Other high monks rushed over, one pulling out a Buddhist Great Rejuvenation Pill from his bosom, bending down to put it into Zagu Monk’s body.

The Buddhist Great Rejuvenation Pill was famous in the Jianghu, a miraculous healing medicine, giving a chance of revival as long as there was a breath left!

Just as the high monk squatted down, the abbot shook his head, saying, "No need."

"Abbot..."

The monks were taken aback.

"Amitabha."

The abbot of Da Kong Temple sighed, chanting the Buddha’s name.

When he had infused the Innate True Qi into Zagu Monk, he had already realized that while his external injuries weren’t severe, all his internal organs had been shattered!

Only a Vajra Heart remained intact.

But it was useless.

Zagu Monk’s life force was exhausted, completely dead.

The abbot rose, turning his gaze to Chen Tang.

The high monks immediately understood.

Zagu Monk had died at Da Kong Temple, and they had to detain this person to give an explanation to the Xiling Esoteric Sect.
