Chapter 269: Chapter 252: The True Solution of Martial Arts, The Battle Between Minghe and Luo Hou_2

...

Not only did Buddha suspect, but other powerhouses of the three realms also guessed it might be related to a cultivation technique, yet what cultivation technique could bring about such a terrifying blessing of the Great Path?

On Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong infused the cloud-like blessing of the Great Path into Jingu Bang, once again enhancing the power of his beloved staff.

"If I face that old coot from the South Pole again, a few hits from this would almost kill him!"

He then joyfully played with it for a while before storing away the Divine Weapon and reflected on the martial arts technique he had just successfully derived.

To be precise, it wasn’t a complete success, rather he had successfully derived something comparable to the realm of a True Immortal in martial arts.

"Just as the seniors on the forum said, the potential of martial arts is very high!" Sun Wukong’s eyes sparkled, and his body had improved slightly.

In recent years, he had gathered a plethora of ideas on the Zhihu platform, combined with his own practice of Divine Skills, and finally pushed his martial arts to the realm of a True God!

The techniques he referenced the most included the Nine Transformations Mysterious Primordial Technique, the Law of Heaven and Earth, and other physical Divine Skills like having multiple arms.

The martial arts he created were temporarily divided from low to high into Xuanfu, Xuefu, and Shenfu, three stages.

Taking the human race’s body as an example, Xuanfu is divided into Acquired, Innate, and Mystical realms, focusing on strength and cultivating the Xuanfu in the lower dantian. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Xuefu consists of Myriad Forms, Golden Body, and Celestial Man, focusing on qi-blood and cultivating the Xuefu in the middle dantian.

Moving to the Shenfu stage, currently, there are only Heavenly God and True God realms, focusing on Divine Body, cultivating Shenfu in the upper dantian’s spiritual platform.

Simply put, compared to immortals of the same realm, martial artists have fewer methods but possess much stronger bodies.

"If one cultivates the true essence of the martial arts I’ve created, one could regenerate from a drop of blood at the Celestial Man realm!" Sun Wukong looked across the vast East Sea, his heart brimming with boundless courage.

According to the path he derived, after the realm of a True God there comes the Immortal God, where the Divine Body is immortal. Even in death, the Divine Body could generate a new consciousness.

Deriving the realm of an Immortal God was not easy; even with reference to the path of immortality and numerous suggestions from netizens, it was still hard to derive successfully for the time being.

This realm demanded the reconstruction of the Divine Body, which was much more difficult than becoming an immortal Golden Immortal.

Next, Sun Wukong went to Chang’an City.

Since Liu Xiu became the King of Men, though he could not live forever, he was protected by the charisma of humanity, plus he had also consumed some Immortal Fruits and wines, so he lived much longer than average humans.

More importantly, he practiced martial arts!

Despite being over a hundred years old, he seemed to grow younger with time, looking now in his prime, which is the peak physical condition for a common man.

Upon seeing Sun Wukong, he still respectfully bowed, "Xiu greets master."

Sun Wukong directly said, "I’ve come this time with good news for you."

Liu Xiu’s eyes brightened, "Master, have you derived the Heavenly God realm?"

Sun Wukong laughed, "You underestimate your teacher, mere Heavenly God."

With that, he took out a piece of Spirit Jade, in which the latest realm of the true essence of martial arts was stored.

Liu Xiu received it and checked with his Divine Sense, his eyes suddenly lighting up, "Heavenly God... True God!"

With the protection of human charisma and his considerable martial arts talent, he had reached the Celestial Man realm long ago, hence he had been longing for a higher realm of martial arts for the past several years.

Now, he could finally break through.

Martial arts of the Heavenly God, transformation of qi-blood, turning the body into a Divine Body, almost as robust as a lesser Spiritual Treasure!

Sun Wukong then said, "From today, martial arts can be imparted to the world."

Liu Xiu’s eyes shone even brighter, his excitement hard to contain.

Since the Han dynasty became the ruling dynasty, fifty years had passed.

Although the population of Han was continuously growing and all sectors were continuing to innovate and develop, the rise in national power wasn’t as rapid as during the previous thirty years, as if it had hit a bottleneck. Despite Han’s vast territories which offered much room for improvement.

In fact, the industrial civilization techniques that Master Sun told him about, such as steam engines, trains, electricity generation, and so forth, as well required time to accumulate, understand, and research, and hadn’t yet reached a transformative phase.

However, with the advent of martial arts, Han’s national power was about to see a rapid growth opportunity.

...

The Asura Realm.

The deep red sky, like blood, reflected on the earth where tribes of the Asura Realm were visible everywhere, filled with battles.

The Asuras loved war but were not fond of slaughter, feeling restless if they didn’t fight twice a day.

Ever since the last time You Yu joined the Buddha Sect with a group of his tribesmen, many warriors were always fuming, unable to comprehend why, and could only vent through fighting.

Because You Yu was a general revered by the younger generation of Asuras, his status second only to the three great kings of the Asuras.

That day, You Yu returned to the Asura Realm and began challenging the three kings.

He first defeated Qi Luo Qian Tuo, the weakest King of Slaughter, then King of Suffering Po Zhi, and finally, King of the Abyss Pi Mo Zhi Duo Luo.

After successive great battles, blood flowed like rivers, and countless bodies lay fallen, turning the sky and earth of the Asura Realm even redder.

"From today on, I am the Mad King!" declared a white-haired youth sitting on a grand throne at the peak of a mountain, overlooking the three great Asura kings and the gathered warriors, red as a sea of blood.

King of the Abyss sneered, "You have forsaken the Asura Realm to join the Buddha Sect, and now the demonic path. Overcoming us with demonic techniques, what makes you think you can rule the Asura Realm? I advise you to leave at once!"

The white-haired youth’s gaze was cold, "If you do not submit, you die!"

Though severely injured, both the King of Suffering and the King of Slaughter held their heads high, preferring death over surrender.

The patience of the white-haired youth was limited. His eyes took on a blood-thirsty, murderous look, and a black longsword appeared in his hand, ready to swing.

Whoosh!

Then, from nowhere, a roaring sea wave sound came, and a vast ocean of Qi-Blood like none other rolled into the Asura Realm from the underworld.

"Hahaha, who would have thought that the mighty Demon Ancestor Luo Hou would turn out to be my descendant, Ancestor Ming He," Ancestor Ming He stood on a flaming lotus, above the churning blood-red ocean waves.

"How did you recognize me?" Luo Hou furrowed his brow.

He had told people like Ran Deng and Po Xun that he had changed his name to Mad King Luo Hou, but he had never spoken of this matter to outsiders. Clearly, neither had Ran Deng and Po Xun.

How could Ming He have possibly pointed out his identity so directly?

After all, in terms of cultivation, during the Era of the Three Divine Beasts, he was a peak figure throughout the vast wilderness, while Ming He was only considered a top expert.

Years had passed, and his true form had long since reached the Mixed-Yuan Great Laureate realm. At this moment, even reincarnated within the Asura Realm, not even a Saint standing before him could have discerned his origins.

So, how did Ming He figure it out?

Luo Hou’s icy gaze locked onto the blood-robed old man above the flaming lotus.

Ancestor Ming He laughed heartily, "You think yourself clever, but your every move has been thoroughly seen through!"

Luo Hou’s expression changed. Who could it be? Hong Jun?

But if it was Hong Jun, Ming He’s tone would be different; he would not say "seen by someone," but rather "seen by the Great Dao Ancestor."

"Humph, bluffing!" Luo Hou snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and his black longsword swept out, with black Demonic Flame forming a torrent of sword light, spreading across the sky.

"If it were your true body, I would have left immediately, but now..." Ancestor Ming He would not miss a good opportunity to retaliate.

He stood on the flaming lotus, his blood robe swirling, with endless karma fire spreading out, sweeping toward the black Demonic Flame.

Simultaneously, the Yuan Tu A’Bi Twin Swords flew out, carrying terrifying malice, resentment, murderous thoughts, and transformed into a sky full of blood-red sword rain.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The karma fire swept through, and the blood-red sword rain shattered the black Demonic Flame, engulfing the white-haired youth.

At that moment, it seemed the entire Asura Realm trembled, affecting the underworld and causing countless ghosts to wail in sorrow.

When everything calmed down, the figure resembling the white-haired youth, Luo Hou, had vanished.

"Thrilling, thrilling!" Ancestor Ming He laughed loudly.

During the Era of the Ancient Three Beast Gods, he was also a powerhouse known for his slaughter in the vast wilderness, always overshadowed by Luo Hou, unresolved for countless years, now finally he had his revenge.

"Pity, such a pity!" He shook his head reluctantly, for what was destroyed was merely an incarnation of Luo Hou’s Demonic Thoughts.

Finally, observing the blood-filled Asura Realm, Ancestor Ming He mused, "This Sun Wukong really is something, even Luo Hou’s schemes can’t escape his eye. If it weren’t for him, this Asura Realm would have quietly slipped from our grasp."

If not for Sun Wukong’s warning that You Yu would later be known as Mad King Luo Hou, he surely would have let You Yu unify the entire Asura Realm under the name of Mad King.

Since this was an internal conflict of the Asura Realm, he generally would not interfere.
