The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS-Chapter 1220 - 245: Battle of the Tao Realm (Part 2)

Body, True Qi, Primordial Spirit, Will.

The four aspects are independent, yet unified; the battle in the Tao Realm occurs simultaneously across these aspects. Any defeat in one aspect can trigger a cascade of defeat.

Xuan Yuan One Qi traverses the sky, Buddha Light illuminates the Earth, destructive currents crisscross the external realm. The combined forces of three in the Tao Realm would indeed cause cataclysmic chaos if not limited to this battlefield.

Such world-destroying power faces the embodiment of the universe—Heavenly Dao.

"Dayan Heavenly Wheel."

For the first time, Heavenly Dao formally makes a move. The wheel appears, similar yet different to the Supreme Heavenly Wheel, holding fifty Dao Lights, aligning with the number fifty of the Da Yan.

Dayan Heavenly Wheel encompasses Dao fifty.

The heavenly wheel rotates, cleaving the Xuan Yuan in the Heavenly Vault, sweeping the Buddha Light off the Earth, gathering Primordial Energy into the Abyss Sea, extinguishing the Destructive Fire.

"Da Yan fifty, one omitted. That one is transformation. This technique combines forty-nine and one, possessing power and change, adapting to restrain the opponent's force."

The Dao Master watches the Dayan Heavenly Wheel move freely and says, "My Supreme Unbeaten arose from the Heavenly Dao's Da Yan evolution. You two should have some understanding of its power specifics."

Qing Yu and the Buddha naturally understand Supreme Unbeaten, having faced it personally. In general, this is an extraordinary Absolute Skill, quite decent even for those in the Tao Realm. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

However, it's their first encounter with the Dayan Heavenly Wheel.

Supreme Unbeaten can still be defeated, but Dayan Heavenly Wheel can be considered truly unbeatable.

"I have battled Heavenly Dao beyond the Limit of Human and God for years, yet never saw Heavenly Dao use techniques in human form. Let me probe a bit first."

The Buddha sits in the Pure Land, with a Dharma Body as vast as mountains, releasing a palm with Infinite Power, "Crossing the Sea of Suffering."

It's not the previous Sea of Suffering technique; this palm goes the opposite way, using Infinite Power to cross the Sea of Suffering, with a Vajra Heart slicing through suffering.

This moment sees the Buddha as the peak of the Buddhist Vajra, indestructible and imperishable, unsullied and unfallen—uninterruptible Vajra.

"Boom—"

The massive Buddha Palm strikes the heavenly wheel, erupting powerful unmatched Qi Force, shaking the space loudly, yet the heavenly wheel remains unmoved, its glazed body emitting Devil Light, formidable Demon Power blocking the Buddha Palm.

The forces are evenly matched.

Yet the next moment, Tathagata transforms into a demon, the Pure Land instantly becomes Ten Thousand Suffering Demon Land, overwhelming Demonic Qi strikes the heavenly wheel, pressing down the Devil Light on the wheel.

"I am the world's first Dao-certified Buddha, also the world's first Dao-certified demon. To use demon against me is laughable."

The Buddha, surrounded by Demonic Qi without a hint of clarity, embodies the form of Demon Image, with endless suffering spreading like the Avatar of the Sea of Suffering.

The Buddha once faced heart demons due to countless Buddhist disciples sacrificing themselves, turning Buddha into demon, compromising his Mental State.

But he remains a Tao Realm being; turning into demon not only didn't drop his Mental State but led to understanding the Demon Path, Buddha and Demon Dual Transformation, becoming the world's first demon.

Before him, the Primordial Sky Demon created the Demon Path but had insufficient opportunities, falling halfway, making Buddha the true world's first demon.

'I sense a subtle threat from the Buddha, my internal Demonic Qi reacts to his Demon Image.'

Qing Yu observes, unexpressive yet pondering key points, 'Surpassing the opponent in the same Martial Arts seems an apt method against the Tao Realm.'

Considering this, it sits well why Dao Ancestor and Buddha are pleased to see Qing Yu achieve the Tao Realm.

Qing Yu is a Daoist but also cultivates Buddha Skill and Demon Technique, with two predecessors in Buddha Tao Demon.

As trailblazers, the Dao Ancestor and Buddha confidently suppress Qing Yu, hence they favor his Tao Realm accomplishment.

These reflections are hard discernible without becoming a Tao Realm.

'Let's see if I can reverse the order.'

As Qing Yu ponders, the Dayan Heavenly Wheel morphs again, turning into Buddha from Demon, contending with the Demon Palm.

Simultaneously, the heavenly wheel divides, two new wheels emerging, confronting Qing Yu and Dao Ancestor.

"Seems the probing result isn't needed."

Qing Yu's destructive aura disperses, primordial presence appears, his form rising higher, "Mystic Universe·Cycle Stars."

Instant stellar light obscures Buddha Light, shattered remnants from the clash recombine under starlight; tangible stars appear surrounding Qing Yu, rotating.

Celestial Stars Map.

Standing at the Star Map center, stars patrol, 365 distinct star lights shine on the Dayan Heavenly Wheel.

"Buzz—"

Facing such intricate offensive, the wheel moves again, boundless force emerges.

Star light, fragments, all twisted and destroyed by ultimate power. The wheel doesn't differentiate against Cycle Stars but breaks everything with sheer force.

"Opted for the simplest solution? Then what about this?"

Qing Yu's thought moves, stars shift, a colossal gravitational force erupts, absorbing all surrounding matter.

Earth Rotation Star Shift.

A simple gravitational manipulation technique, now wielded by Qing Yu with 365 stars concurrently, mercilessly twisting everything, be it space or light.

If breaking with force, let's see the extent of your power.

Meanwhile, on another side, Dao Ancestor reshapes Xuan Yuan One Qi, pushing one Qi across the heavens, breaking one Qi through the universe. Xuan Yuan One Qi and Dayan Heavenly Wheel continually clash, energizing infinite Qi Mechanism, both restrain each other's transformational evolution. In an instant, thousands of different Qi Force evolutions emerge—a truly spectacular sight.

On another end, Buddha performs Buddha and Demon Dual Transformation, gathering ten thousand Buddhas with one palm, ten thousand demons with the other, combined force challenges the heavenly wheel.

Achieving such feats, manipulating three heavenly wheels in battles with three major opponents, Heavenly Dao cloaked in mist remains immovable, silver eyes scanning as if seeking the first to make a move.

"Boom—"

Another resounding explosion, but it's stars bursting, fragments scatter, Qing Yu reveals Six Wings, transforming into a beam of light, striking the heavenly wheel.

'Qing Yu is exerting full strength.'

This was the simultaneous thought of the Buddha and Dao Ancestor.

They naturally understand that when Qing Yu manifests Six Wings, it's the moment his Life's Power reaches the peak, aiding their estimate of Qing Yu's strength.

Since the battle started, both primarily engaged in skirmishing to gauge Qing Yu's full potential.

It's proven, Qing Yu is strong, but not strong enough. At least he hasn't displayed power threatening to the two.

'Let's start getting serious then.'

Both activate fully, Daoist energy and Buddha Light pierce the heavens and Earth.

'This should convince them I'm at full strength now.' Amidst the storm, someone thinks thus.
