Chapter 340: Chapter 336: Thunder Dharma Body, Five Dragons Heaven-Devouring
RUMBLE.
The sky suddenly flashed bright.
This punch was thrown with a vicious momentum, one that would slay gods and buddhas and bring all demons to their knees.
In Zhang Tianze’s eyes, the thunder and lightning condensed and transformed, forming a majestic Thunder Dharma Body around Ning Jiang.
The Dharma Body was over a hundred feet tall, with the wrathful glare of a vajra. Its features were majestic and naturally imposing, inspiring fear in all who beheld it.
This was a Dharma Body that could only be formed after the Nine Tribulations Celestial Thunder Body reached the Great Success stage.
It was similar to the Great Sun Glazed Golden Body Ning Jiang had once cultivated. Upon reaching the Great Success stage, it manifested the Great Sun Dharma Body. Back then, he had relied on that Great Sun Dharma Body to become unrivaled and unstoppable in Cyan Cloud Country, earning him the title of Young Master Wushuang.
But the power of the Nine Tribulations Celestial Thunder Body far surpassed that of the Great Sun Glazed Golden Body.
Once this Body Refining Technique reached the Great Success stage, it too would manifest a Dharma Body.
Should he advance from the Great Success stage to Perfection, the Dharma Body would evolve further, and Ning Jiang would even be able to contend with experts of the Earth Martial Realm.
As the Thunder Dharma Body now threw its punch, blazing lightning filled everyone’s vision, eclipsing all else.
He stood like a Thunder God, straddling heaven and earth, the might of his fist shaking the very skies.
This was not the first time Ning Jiang had manifested the Thunder Dharma Body. During the founding of the Myriad Swords Sect, he had used this very punch to kill Pang Jie of the Wind Thunder Sect.
Now that his Cultivation had reached the Divine Travel Realm, the power of this punch had increased several times over.
"Block it!"
Sensing the terrifying power of the punch, Zhang Tianze’s expression changed drastically as he hurriedly mobilized all of his Cultivation.
An endless torrent of water surged out, forming a barrier before him. The water constantly condensed and compressed, ultimately forming solid walls of water.
The Defense Power of each wall was greater than that of a mountain.
It was no exaggeration to say that even a blow capable of shattering a mountain could not break a single one of these walls.
And more than ten of these walls materialized, one after another!
"Break!"
Unmoved, Ning Jiang shot forward with incredible speed, his fist slamming viciously into the walls of water.
BAM.
The first wall crumbled as if made of tofu, shattering instantly. Then came the second, the third, the fourth...
He tore through them with unstoppable momentum!
In the blink of an eye, all ten walls shattered. They were no match for Ning Jiang’s Thunder Dharma Body.
"No!"
Zhang Tianze roared. In his eyes, the massive fist of the Thunder Dharma Body grew closer. With no way to dodge, all he could do was cross his arms in front of him to block.
CRACK.
However, his efforts were futile. As the fist descended, the sound of bones snapping echoed from his arms.
His chest caved in under the force of the punch, his sternum shattering completely. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, which was horrifically mixed with fragments of his internal organs.
BOOM—
His body slammed into the ground of the Tyrant Fist Sect, crashing through several mountains before finally coming to a stop.
"How is this possible?"
The pupils of everyone from the Tyrant Fist Sect constricted as they stared at the scene in utter disbelief.
An Immortal Realm expert defeated by someone in the Divine Travel Realm?
Even if word of this got out, how many people would actually believe it?
Even seeing it with their own eyes, everyone was dumbfounded, feeling as if they were in a dream.
"Ah! Ning Jiang, I’m going to kill you!"
The next moment, a roar echoed as Zhang Tianze shot back into the sky. He was a pathetic sight, his body covered in wounds.
But this was also where the resilience of the Immortal Realm showed. Anyone else would have been deader than dead from such injuries.
But for an Immortal Realm expert, this was nothing. Their strongest aspect was their Primordial Spirit. As long as the Primordial Spirit was unharmed, there was no life-threatening danger.
"Maintaining this Dharma Body must be a huge drain on you. Let’s see how long you can keep it up."
Zhang Tianze spat out a mouthful of bloody froth, his gaze as sharp and vicious as a blade.
"Water, come!"
With a gesture of his palm, all the waterfalls, lakes, and rivers within the Tyrant Fist Sect’s territory surged into the sky like great watery serpents.
RUSH.
The torrents of water churned and roiled, and moments later, they transformed into enormous Water Dragons. Each dragon was a thousand feet long—a truly astonishing sight.
There were five Water Dragons in total, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. They were so lifelike that the people of the Tyrant Fist Sect watched in utter terror.
"Elder Zhang is truly furious now! Let’s see how Ning Jiang deals with this!"
"Elder Zhang is sure to win!"
Everyone from the Tyrant Fist Sect placed their hopes on Zhang Tianze.
"Go."
At Zhang Tianze’s command, the five Water Dragons opened their massive jaws, as if to swallow the very heavens, and lunged toward Ning Jiang.
"Ning Jiang, let’s see you block this—my Five Dragons Heaven-Devouring!"
Zhang Tianze’s face was pale. This one attack had directly drained two-thirds of the Spiritual Qi in his body. In other words, he could only use such a powerful move once.
This also meant he was finally treating Ning Jiang as a true adversary. He had previously looked down on him, believing someone in the Divine Travel Realm could pose no threat, and had paid for his contempt with grievous injuries.
While physical injuries were trivial to an Immortal Realm expert, he had no desire to suffer such an attack a second time.
"Merely five water snakes, and you dare call them dragons? A true dragon is something you can’t even begin to imagine."
Ning Jiang sneered, commanding his Thunder Dharma Body to punch forward.
POW.
He was like an indestructible Battle Spear, piercing through everything. He shot straight through the center of a Water Dragon’s body, blasting a huge hole in it.
But the Water Dragon did not dissipate. The massive hole healed in an instant.
"Hahaha! It’s useless! My Five Dragons Heaven-Devouring technique automatically repairs any damage. You can’t kill them!"
Zhang Tianze let out a loud laugh.
"Can’t kill them? Every technique has its limits. If once won’t do, how about ten times? A hundred?"
Ning Jiang was disdainful. ’A mere dragon condensed from water? A hundred thousand years ago, I slew even true dragons. What does this count for?’
"Hmph. You’re not wrong, but I don’t believe you can last that long. Enough talk. Die!"
Murderous intent flashed in Zhang Tianze’s eyes as he again commanded the five Water Dragons to lunge.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Ning Jiang transformed into a bolt of lightning, his every attack damaging the Water Dragons. In one of his most devastating strikes, he completely shattered a dragon’s head.
But after a moment, the head reformed, though it was slightly smaller than before.
’Just how dense is this kid’s Spiritual Qi? How can he last this long?’
Zhang Tianze’s expression slowly changed. Ning Jiang’s reserves of Spiritual Qi were absurdly vast. It was incredible; Ning Jiang had damaged the five Water Dragons dozens of times already.
’However, his aura is indeed weaker than before.’
To his relief, Ning Jiang’s aura had indeed diminished.
’The Thunder Dharma Body consumes too much energy,’ Ning Jiang thought, pausing for a moment. ’If not for the Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill, I would have been exhausted after just a few attacks. It’s time to end this.’
A black light began to surge forth.
