The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS-Chapter 1141 - 166: The Battle Situation

"Dragon Vein Power?"

Susan Ming Venerate laughed heartily, and the head of Orochi on the Dharma Image behind him let out a screech, "Even the Human Emperor was wounded under the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, what do you count as? Today, Tianjing is destined to fall."

The Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword was an evil weapon specifically targeted at the Dragon Vein, and after devouring the essence blood of the Human Emperor, it became even more fierce. To Susan Ming Venerate, Mu Cangsheng using the Emperor Martial Art seemed to be his final struggle.

"Heavenly Feather Slash."

The shadow of the Snake Demon entwined around the enormous Dharma Image converged into a serpentine sword. With one slash, the sword aura tore through the earth, slashing towards the distant Mu Cangsheng who was flying in.

As the colossal sword aura approached head-on, Mu Cangsheng did not retreat or evade. The Dragon Energy on his body howled, and the Earth Qi gathered in his palm, "Earth Scroll, Earth births Nine Dragons, Roaring Dragon Howls to the Sky."

"Roar~"

The Earth Qi transformed into a dragon, enveloping fragments of rock and stone, and a massive dragon head emerged from the ground, biting at the sword aura. Dragon teeth and sword aura stalemated and scraped against each other, producing a piercing sound.

The move executed with the combination of the Earth Scroll and Dragon Vein Power, to some extent, avoided the targeted nature of the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, making the Earth Dragon more inclined towards the primal Earth Qi rather than the transformed Dragon Vein.

This move by Mu Cangsheng could be termed "stunning," even the arrogant Susan Ming Venerate curbed his disdain and took this practitioner of Emperor Martial Art seriously.

"I thought you were just another sword sacrifice, didn't expect you to be a tough nut," a fierce light flashed in Susan Ming Venerate's eyes as he shouted, "Yueyejian, go assist Amaterasu, leave this person to me."

The Dharma Image behind him slowly disappeared, blending into his body, an undying gold quality permeated him, and his body glowed with golden light.

"Vajra Sutra," a divine skill in the Esoteric Sect only slightly inferior to the Great Sun Tathagata Scripture.

In the Esoteric Sect, the Diamond Sutra and the Mahavairocana Tantra are regarded as the highest scriptures. The divine skills derived from these scriptures are the Vajra Sutra and Great Sun Tathagata Scripture.

Although the word "vajra" seems commonplace in Buddhism, in reality, vajra also has distinctions of value. Not to mention, the highest Buddha of the Esoteric Sect, the Great Sun Tathagata, is also named "All-Pervading Vajra," indicating that the rank of vajra can reach the pinnacle.

And compared to the Great Sun Tathagata Scripture, the Vajra Sutra, considered the source of Esoteric Sect's vajra martial arts, has a much lower cultivation threshold and is easier to cultivate.

However, due to the loss of the Esoteric Sect's treasure, the Vajra Seat, when the Esoteric Sect fled overseas long ago, over the centuries, only Susan Ming Venerate, this elder of the Esoteric Sect, truly succeeded in cultivating the Vajra Sutra.

"Creak——"

Susan Ming Venerate's figure expanded, his limbs grinding out a metallic sound, in an instant, transforming into a ten-foot Golden Body. Because of its increase in size, the grotesque face exuded an air of a demon-suppressing Buddha's Intent, and the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword in his expanding hand became even more vicious.

Wielding a fierce sword with a vajra body.

"Fazhe Luo."

A strike as rigid and unyielding as could be—nothing could withstand the path of the sword aura, combined with the savage Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, the lethality reached new heights.

This move must not be met with force.

This was the most intuitive thought in Mu Cangsheng's mind.

However, if he did not confront it directly, the city walls of Tianjing behind him would likely be directly severed, and the sword aura could cleave through half of Tianjing.

By then, casualties would go without saying—should Susan Ming Venerate lead with this move, every subsequent move would only grow stronger, making it difficult to regain the upper hand.

"Hah!"

Mu Cangsheng let out a low growl, standing firmly against the sword aura before him. Earth Qi surged from below the ground, Pure Qi descended from above the Nine Heavens, he absorbed Earth Qi and simultaneously absorbed Pure Qi from the sky, "Pure and impure convergence, heavenly and earthly convergence."

"Crack——"

Thunder manifested in the sky, earth leaped with the Shocking Dragon; the thunder entwined on the Shocking Dragon, dazzling Thunder Light reflected the dense Earth Qi, where the pure and the impure met here.

Previously, after defeating Ji Chengtian under Hou Qian, most of the heavenly materials and earth treasures and secret divine manuals collected by Hou Qian fell into Mu Cangsheng's hands. The 'Heavenly Scroll' acquired by Ji Chengtian was one of the spoils of war.

Mu Cangsheng, after obtaining the 'Heavenly Scroll,' had studied it for a long time, and only recently had he comprehended the method of heavenly and earthly convergence, making Susan Ming Venerate his first trial opponent.

"Boom——"

Only a roar was heard, as the Thunder Shocking Dragon and the ultimate sword aura collided head-on, the explosion shook the earth, raising dust into the sky, Qi Force burst forth, tearing through the air, and emitted a series of sharp cries.

"Come again."

Mu Cangsheng sprinted forward, the pure and impure energy gathered before him into a dragon head glaring with fierce eyes, charging directly at Susan Ming Venerate.

Practicing the fierce martial arts, Susan Ming Venerate naturally wouldn't abandon the tactic of direct collision to play for a gentle and circuitous approach. Holding the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword in his hand, Great Freedom Demon Qi swirled around his eyes, adding an atmosphere of destruction to his Vajra Glaring Eyes.

"Fazhe Luo."

Again Fazhe Luo, but compared to before, this strike was even more ferocious, with the Great Freedom Demon Qi augmenting him, adding a trace of destructive Demon Intent to the already formidable vajra.

"Boom——"

The forceful clash caused the ground beneath to collapse several yards, and the distant towering walls of Tianjing City also trembled under the aftershocks of this move.

The jagged fissures spread across the ground, while waves of Qi Force blasted the surface, ceaselessly turbulent.

"Susan Ming Venerate's 'Vajra Sutra' after refining the Human Emperor's essence blood not only fully recovered but went a step further in cultivation."

Watching the battle between these two, Yueyejian in the sky gently remarked.

The Human Emperor's essence blood, in fact, could no longer be considered human essence blood. The Xinglie Clan's Battle Body, tempered for ten thousand years within the earth, had become equivalent to the Dragon Vein. Absorbing his essence blood was akin to directly devouring the Dragon Vein.

Susan Ming Venerate, having already gained the ability to devour Dragon Veins from Orochi after reincarnation, naturally found great nourishment after absorbing the Human Emperor's essence blood, not only restoring his former strength but achieving new heights.

"In a direct clash, Mu Cangsheng is outmatched by Susan Ming Venerate."

Yueyejian made such a judgment, the Moon Wheel tracing a beautiful yet dangerous trajectory towards Amaterasu.

First, killing Mi Shenweng in a sun and moon shining together manner, by that time, even if Mu Cangsheng were not defeated, he would not survive the combined might of the three.

With Mu Cangsheng's death, the grievously injured Yama and Human Emperor would merely be meat on the chopping block.

The plan was well-thought-out, maximizing the combined strength of one's own side. As long as Daqian did not produce a third Supreme, this battle would essentially result in Japan's victory.

Even if Yama and the Human Emperor fled in advance, Tianjing in the end would still fall into Japan's hands.

However, the reason a plan is a plan is because it is not reality.

A golden arc pierced the sky, rising from the Daqian Palace, a golden rainbow emerged, revealing various weapons within, including all eighteen types, each imbued with an aura of metallic slaughter, filling the universe as if heralding the arrival of a battlefield.

"Broken spears bury in sand yet life endures, rearming to dominate the heavens and earth."

Amidst the sound resembling the clash of metals, there was an unwavering tenacity and the stirring of rising storms. A majestic figure emerged from the golden rainbow, streams of golden light shining upon him, as if draping him in a Golden Battle Armor.

The third Supreme has appeared.
