Chapter 175: The Realm Beyond the Martial Saint
Chapter 175: The Realm Beyond the Martial Saint
True Dragon Unextinguishable Body.
Dharmakaya
Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he read the words on the Virtue Scroll.
This was the second technique he had encountered on the scroll.
The previous technique involved refining Gao Wu Yun's heritage spirit orb, which granted access to the Ultimate Descent Secret Scripture.
However, refining that technique required ten thousand jin of virtue, and due to the pollution of the heritage spirit orb, attempting to refine it forcefully would be risky.
For this reason, Qin Zheng had never paid much attention to that technique.
And now, he had discovered a second technique.
Both techniques were similar, with a level indication following their names.
One was labeled as legendary, while the other was Dharmakaya level.
He wondered what these levels meant.
A slight frown creased Qin Zheng's forehead as he suddenly recalled a sentence spoken by Gao Wu Ying on the edge of the Mogu Mountains, just before he slew her.
'If one is fixated on appearances, how can they hope to attain the Martial Saint and achieve Dharmakaya?'
Attain the Martial Saint and achieve Dharmakaya.
Could Dharmakaya be the realm beyond the Martial Saint? Qin Zheng's mind suddenly entertained this thought.
And what about the legendary level?
Was it an even higher realm beyond Dharmakaya?
In an instant, numerous speculations flooded Qin Zheng's mind.
If this were true, then the limits of this world would far surpass the Martial Saint realm!
However, in the Great Jin Dynasty, attaining the Martial Saint realm was already an immensely challenging feat, and no higher realm had ever been heard of.
Could this be related to the extinction of the Immortal Path?
Both the legendary and Dharmakaya realms were levels that existed during the time of the Immortal Path.
And after the extinction of the Immortal Path, the Martial Saint became the highest realm in the current world.
Qin Zheng's thoughts gradually dissipated.
Just as he was pondering, a shadow silently enveloped him, covering him completely.
Or rather, it covered all directions around him!
Dense demonic energy surged in the air.
Qin Zheng's thoughts slowly returned from his reverie.
At this moment, on either side of him, stood two colossal beings, each several dozen zhang tall, resembling towering mountains.
A bear demon! An ape demon! With such massive bodies, they had appeared without making a sound!
Two formidable demons, no weaker than the Blackwater Demonic Dragon, and perhaps even stronger!
Whoosh!
The ape demon crouched and punched, unleashing a mighty force that created a white air current in the air, resembling a small mountain.
Then...
Boom! Boom!
The punch landed, causing the ground to crack and the heavens to tremble!
But the ape demon showed no signs of relaxation, its expression growing even more solemn.
It raised its fist, but below, there was no one in sight, not even a figure in golden-patterned dark robes.
"Why is this demonic dragon running towards us without regard for its life?"
At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Qin Zheng's ear.
"Behind you!!"
Simultaneously, the bear demon's face changed, and it hurriedly warned, extending its massive palm to sweep across.
Qin Zheng remained calm, stepping on the ape demon's head, and then stomping down forcefully.
Boom! Boom!
Under the immense force, the ape demon's head, as large as a small mountain, exploded.
The splattered red and white matter instantly scattered across a radius of over ten li.
"So, you two were their accomplices," Qin Zheng's voice continued.
At the same time, the bear demon's huge palm swept towards him.
Qin Zheng extended his right hand, and with a twist of his slender fingers, he formed a fist and punched towards the bear's palm.
Boom!
Roar!
The bear's palm exploded!
The several dozen zhang tall bear demon roared in pain, its deep voice causing the ground to tremble.
Qin Zheng leaped up, flying towards the bear demon's massive head, and delivered a whip kick.
Boom! Boom!
Before the bear demon could react, its enormous head exploded.
Boom! Boom!
The two massive demon bodies fell to the ground one after the other, causing another tremor and a cloud of dust.
Qin Zheng calmly looked down at the three headless demon bodies on the ground.
The Blackwater Demonic Dragon's entry into Qingzhou was likely just a test.
Hua Qing Yun's absence from Qingzhou for so long without any news had made these demons suspicious.
Since the Blackwater Demonic Dragon could fly, it was sent to test the waters in Qingzhou.
If Hua Qing Yun was still there, it could quickly escape, or even turn the situation to its advantage.
With two other demons equivalent to half-step Martial Saints, even Hua Qing Yun, as strong as he was, would struggle to gain any advantage against three demon kings.
A moment of inattention could even cost him his life!
But if Hua Qing Yun was not in Qingzhou, it would prove that the Great Jin Dynasty had abandoned the region, allowing the demons to invade freely!
As these thoughts flooded Qin Zheng's mind, he deduced the motives of the three demon kings.
A cold glint appeared in his eyes as he considered Wei Wuliang's words. Although the court had called Hua Qing Yun back, they had also dispatched a half-step Martial Saint.
And now, with the demons about to invade Qingzhou, this half-step Martial Saint had yet to make an appearance!
If not for Qin Zheng's timely arrival, Qingzhou would have been overrun by demons, even if it didn't fall completely.
The casualties among the common folk would have been far greater than just dozens or hundreds!
And this half-step Martial Saint had come at the Emperor's behest.
Could it be that the Great Jin Emperor has decided to abandon Qingzhou?
Impossible!
Even if he wants to give up on Qingzhou, I will never allow it!
With this thought, Qin Zheng suddenly raised his head, his gaze turning towards the direction of the Uncertain Demon Den.
The Uncertain Demon Den.
The mountains were shrouded in darkness, and the thick demonic aura was like layers of black clouds, blocking out the sun and sky, not a ray of light to be seen.
From time to time, one could hear roars and howls echoing through the area.
In a mountain wilderness.
A sika deer was lowering its head to feed on unknown flesh and blood, its eyes red, and its demonic aura rampant.
"The Sika King is in high spirits, and even with a battle approaching, he doesn't forget to feast."
At that moment, a voice sounded in front of it.
The sika deer lifted its head, and its eyes fell upon a ten-foot-tall black bear.
Within the Uncertain Demon Den, if one were to say which demon was the most numerous, the bear demons would be second, and no other demon could claim first.
After all, the Great Sage in the depths of this demon den was a bear demon!
"So the Bear King is certain we will invade Qingzhou?"
The sika deer spoke with a curious expression.
The black bear slowly approached, tearing off most of the flesh beneath the sika deer and beginning to feed on it as well.
Seeing this, the sika deer's red eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, but it made no move.
The black bear finished its meal and then slowly said, "You don't know, the Blackwater Demon Cave's Dragon King has already headed towards Qingzhou."
Hearing this, the sika deer became even more puzzled, "Wasn't it chased away by a Half-Saint of the human race? How dare it go there?"
The black bear waved its hand, a look of control and understanding appearing on its face as it said, "This time, it's not just the Dragon King."
"There are also our demon den's two Sage Envoys!"
"Which two?"
The sika deer became even more curious.
"The Holy Bear and the Holy Ape, two Sage Envoys!"
The bear demon spoke.
The sika deer's face immediately lit up with excitement.
The Holy Bear and the Holy Ape.
Among the Sage Envoys, those with the title of 'Holy' are the strongest under the Great Sage.
With these two being dispatched, it's highly likely that the Great Sage has made a move!
This greatly increases the possibility of an imminent invasion of Qingzhou!
"So, we're really going to invade Qingzhou?"
The sika deer asked excitedly.
The black bear nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, both demons' eyes filled with a greedy look.
Although Qingzhou wasn't among the largest of the Great Jin's thirty-six states, it could even be considered small.
But being a state, it had a large population, enough to provide a hearty feast for the demons!
As the two demons indulged in their fantasies of feasting in Qingzhou, a rift suddenly tore through the demonic clouds hovering above the demon den.
Light poured through the rift, instantly attracting the attention of numerous demons within the den.
Soon after, three black dots appeared from the rift, descending towards the ground.
"What are those?"
The black bear asked with confusion.
The demonic clouds above the Uncertain Demon Den were usually permanent, and without external force, they wouldn't dissipate.
But now, a rift had opened, and from it emerged three black dots.
Could it be that the Great Jin's warriors had launched an attack on the Uncertain Demon Den?
Were those three black dots human warriors?
As this thought crossed its mind, it was suddenly startled.
"No! They're not humans!"
At that moment, the sika deer by its side suddenly spoke up.
The black bear looked up again, carefully observing the three black dots rapidly descending towards them.
As they drew closer, their size increased, and their outlines became clearer.
They didn't seem human; they looked more like...
The black bear's body began to tremble violently.
Those three black dots were the three great demons they had just been discussing!
The Dragon King from the Blackwater Demon Cave!
The two Sage Envoys from the Uncertain Demon Den!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three massive demon corpses slammed into the ground below, causing a deafening roar.
The earth shook, mountains crumbled, and thick dust clouds rose into the sky.
In an instant, countless demons perished, and the rest were gripped by fear and panic.
Then, several powerful auras suddenly rose from the depths of the demon den.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At the same time, a figure appeared in the air above the demon den.
Clad in a black robe with golden patterns, holding a ghost-headed broadsword, an aura of dominance and strength emanated from this figure, no less formidable than the few auras rising from the depths of the demon den.
The demons watched in awe, their minds filled with disbelief.
This human had dared to slay the Sage Envoys and then throw their corpses into the demon den!
This was a provocation towards the Uncertain Demon Den!
A challenge to the Great Sage of the Uncertain Demon Den!
And only eighteen humans were known to possess such audacity!
Qin Zheng stood tall, his blade across his body, his cold gaze sweeping across the four directions before settling on the depths of the demon den.
"Who are you?!"
A furious roar echoed from within the demon den.
"Qingzhou's Qin Zheng!"
