Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1236 - 438: Dharma Realm Traits, The Transcendent Takes Action

"Is this the Heaven Opening Divine Power... a prototype?"

After a brief silence, Tian Yan spoke first, finishing with two additional words for emphasis. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Whether the rumors were wrong or for some other reason, Ji Jingqiu's realm had already reached the fifth layer of Heavenly King...

This left Tian Yan and the others somewhat bewildered. If the rumors were true, then Ji Jingqiu's speed in breakthrough was truly astonishing, causing them to immediately associate him with Chao Ge from the Chaohua Realm.

Originally, all sides merely speculated that Ji Jingqiu might have made a private agreement with Chao Ge, but now it seemed almost certain.

"What good fortune." Tian Yan's gaze was sharp, "I've been cultivating for ten thousand years, and I've never seen anyone luckier than you!"

Using the remaining foundation of a broken realm to pave one's Heavenly King Dao isn't just a stroke of "good luck."

"But tread more shortcuts, and be wary of straying from the path." Tian Yan said coldly.

"Realm Divine Skills... the most troublesome kind." Zhang Yuan, standing with fists drawn not far away, frowned and said, "Judging by the earlier level, with the advantage of terrain, this kid has already reached the level of Heavenly Monarch. Such a change in under thirty years?"

Everyone here had vast experience, and they had seen Realm Divine Skills like Ji Jingqiu's before; it was considered the most challenging among various divine skills.

This type of divine skill was both offensive and defensive, standing within it is akin to being the Lord of Heaven and Earth, innately occupying "Heavenly Time and Terrain."

Moreover, because Ji Jingqiu was native to this realm, the "terrain" advantage was even stronger.

The most direct and effective way to counteract it was to crush with pure Dao power difference or to actively step into the opponent's Dharma Realm, using one's own Dao to interfere with the opponent's Dao operations.

"Resolve this in one go, leaving no future troubles," Fu Dao spoke.

The rest understood the implication.

Ji Jingqiu's rapid growth made them somewhat hard to accept, forcing them to be vigilant.

In just the time it took for them to travel, this kid had already leapt to the fifth layer of Heavenly King!

"Kong Xiao, the enemy is before us, and yet you aim to oppose us?" Zhang Yuan locked his gaze on Kong Xiao and spoke in a deep voice.

It wouldn't be difficult for them to unite against a Ji Jingqiu and Qi Tian, but adding Kong Xiao into the mix would make it a tricky three-on-three situation.

Seeing Kong Xiao completely unmoved by this, Tian Yan sneered, "The rumors are true, you actually got subdued by a young junior? Should today's events spread back, where will face be saved for your Returning to Truth Temple!"

"You're overthinking it," Ji Jingqiu finally spoke, "Since you've voluntarily entered the trap, where's the reasoning for letting you leave?"

With that, he turned back and glanced at the bloodstained Kong Xiao.

He hadn't expected Kong Xiao to be among these outsiders, and from the looks of it, this Guardian Heavenly Monarch had obviously been conscientious in his duties. He had to help him recover his reputation.

"Voluntarily entered the trap?" Zhang Yuan squinted.

"No need for unnecessary words, capture them first and talk afterward."

Fu Dao stepped forward, the Divine Light flashing at his brow, mixed with strands of Chaos Qi, forming a "Dao Flower."

This was the manifestation of the True Path, a Heavenly Venerable establishing the True Path, merging their own Dao with the heavens and earth.

But as Fu Dao was an outsider, his aura was "turbid," temporarily unable to achieve Harmonization.

Yet once the Dao Flower bloomed, it became the sole supreme existence in this realm, its brilliance suppressing all Outer Paths.

Ji Jingqiu assessed the three before him with an evaluation: "Six of you came altogether, yet only two are smart, one fell into the trap, three sought their own demise."

"The ignorant fear nothing." Fu Dao said indifferently.

The Dao Flower bloomed, and heaven and earth fell silent; everything felt frozen in amber, except for the swaying Dao Flower, moving to suppress Ji Jingqiu.

As the Dao Flower entered the Dharma Realm, it remained untainted, truly unique, seemingly light yet containing terrifying, indestructible Dao power, the vast Dao Rhyme flowing from it completely surpassed the Heavenly King level.

On Ji Jingqiu's side, a streak of Spirit Light astonished the cosmos, tearing through the oppression and constraints brought by the True Path.

Ji Jingqiu advanced rather than retreating, stepping forth to trample Fu Dao beneath him, the Spirit Light transforming into a blade, cleaving at the unique Dao Flower.

Fu Dao didn't retreat either, sneering as he actively maneuvered the Dao Flower to meet it.

Despite stepping into the fifth layer, Ji Jingqiu was still far from establishing the True Path, how could mere Heart Flower dare to cut his Dao Flower?!

Thud!

Accompanied by the sound of petals falling.

The Spirit Light sliced through the Dao Flower, scattering fallen petals throughout the cosmos, and then exploding a potent, near-solid flow of vast Dao Rhyme, ripples spreading and directly annihilating the planets in range!

More than just Fu Dao changed color; even Zhang Yuan and Tian Yan were shocked.

What sort of Spirit Light was this that could cut Fu Dao's Dao Flower?

Ji Jingqiu stomped down when Fu Dao's spirit was dazed, directly pinning him. Upon regaining awareness, his expression turned furious.

"Nether Sea?! You can actually borrow the power of the Nether Sea to decay my Dao Flower?"

Fu Dao's gaze was riveting as he raised his fist to meet Ji Jingqiu head-on, using the fundamental Taoist True Scripture, unleashing his entire Dao power.

In an instant, the two closed in, engaging in the most intimate of combat, exchanging blows with various Fist Seals, divine skills, and Daoist techniques bursting forth, clashing with one another.

Ji Jingqiu used the One True Dharma Realm to suppress Fu Dao's myriad Daoist Divine Powers, yet he himself attacked with divine skills. Even with slightly weaker Dao power, he still appeared dominant.

And due to the scene earlier where the Soul Blade cut the Dao Flower, Fu Dao harbored concerns and dared not again wield the Dao Flower to suppress Ji Jingqiu, having to watch helplessly as he fell behind.
