Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 726 - 458: Divine Martial

Chapter 726: Chapter 458: Divine Martial

“Clang!!!”

A loud boom resonated, ripples forming in the void. It was not the sound of flesh colliding but that of metal striking metal.

Xu Yang’s Dragon Lance struck with the force to split mountains. However, Sada raised his hands to the sky and spread his charred black arms in defense, miraculously withstanding this mightily peerless blow, resulting in the resounding clang.

The power of body refinement was unmistakably displayed!

“A mere Nascent Soul dares to intrude? Do you truly believe that this Venerable, being injured, affords you an opportunity to exploit?”

Sada blocked the Dragon Lance, his cold gaze swiftly shifting from shock and anger to utter contempt in his words.

This contemptuous speech was not to belittle the opponent, rather, it was to provoke him.

A fact discernible even by ordinary cultivators, how could he, being a Grand Cultivator of Integration, be oblivious to such tactics?

He knew that the person daring to attack him so boldly with just Nascent Soul cultivation, challenging a Grand Cultivator like himself, must surely have some reliance.

And what was this reliance?

Unknown!

It was precisely because it was unknown that he needed to provoke.

A Nascent Soul challenging a Deity Transformation represents a prodigy amongst geniuses when surmounting this single realm.

A Nascent Soul battling a Return to Void, surpassing two realms, is considered to possess defiance of the heavens.

If a Nascent Soul confronts Integration, leaping over three great boundaries, it relies not on talent or genius, but on…

External objects!

Precious treasures!

Throughout history, those who have achieved such formidable feats have all possessed precious treasures – nay, earth-shattering precious treasures.

Thus, where does his reliance lie and what exactly is his precious treasure?

This was Sada’s concern and the purpose behind his provocation.

If the opponent truly possessed such a world-altering precious treasure, enabling a Nascent Soul cultivator to defeat one in Integration and accomplish the feat of crossing three realms, slaughtering his foe, then today…his chances were more toward misfortune than fortune.

But that was just one possibility!

Such precious treasures, how could they be commonly seen?

Throughout history, there have been only a handful of such people.

Sada refused to believe that this person was among them, that he possessed such reliance.

It must be because he saw Sada’s injury that he harbored a trace of hope and dared to come challenge him.

It must be so!

A single utterance served as both a provocation to test the waters and a means of self-comfort.

However…

The martial artist paid him no heed; the Dragon Lance rose, switching from a slash to a thrust, and he attacked once more.

The golden spear, like a dragon, lashed out with the momentum of a fierce storm and the force of an overturning river and sea, seeming to grind the Milky Way to dust, fully displaying the martial artist’s transcendent and unparalleled skills.

It was dense, so dense that not even water could quench it!

It was fast, so fast that the eye couldn’t keep up!

One could only see a golden brilliance as bright as the sun approaching, filled with innumerable dragons and snakes, every move laced with lethal intent.

Such divine martial skill, if met by an ordinary person, would undoubtedly be unstoppable.

But Sada was no ordinary person; he was a generation’s Demon Monk.

Inside the live broadcast room, the audience had yet to react; the cultivators hadn’t regained their senses when he thundered forth his fists, bravely meeting the oncoming spear with ferocity.

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang!”

The Vajra exerted his strength and plunged into the forest of spears, his fists thundering open. Like the fierce storm and overturning river and sea, flesh and bone met the divine spear with such an impact that it resounded with the ringing of metal on metal.

Powerful!!!

As a body cultivator and Vajra of both Buddha and demon, Sada’s greatest strength was his very body.

Therefore, in his daily cultivation, he focused primarily on body refinement. Apart from pondering the principles of the Buddha and demon and mastering a few divine powers, he cultivated no spells, devoting himself instead to tempering his body and practicing martial techniques and battle mantras.

From this perspective, he could be considered a true “Martial Man.”

What is martial?

Strength itself is martial, and martial is strength!

Whether it’s saber and sword skills, fist or palm techniques, inner or external strength, in the end, it all comes down to power!

Without power, where does technique come from?

Without power, where does martial come from?

Thus, the essence of the martial path is power, and the level of martial techniques, the strength of martial arts, lay in the control of power.

You throw a punch, I throw a punch. The greater my power, the faster my speed, the more precise my attack, the more ingenious my moves, the higher my damage…

Stripping away all superficial complexity, the foundation of the martial path is power.

Does Sada possess this power?

Of course, he does; would he dare call himself “Vajra” if he didn’t?

Invincible as the Vajra!

Unyielding as the Vajra!

Immortal as the Vajra!

Vajra represents supreme wisdom, unparalleled strength, the true essence of enlightenment, and the original form of the Great Brahma.

That Sada could cultivate such a Buddha-Demon united Vajra Body, his strength demands no explanation, it’s almost certain for him to progress to the Mahayana and even to the Tribulation Realm, attaining the position of Arhat Fruit, his success is all but guaranteed, or at the very least, it’s a matter of course.

From this, one can see his martial might!

Those arms swing, as if dragons dance wildly.

Those fists strike, as if stars fall from the heavens.

Punch after punch, strike after strike, matching the Martial Artist’s spear without being outdone, a depiction of the “Arhat Subduing Dragon Diagram” unfolds before the onlookers.

“This…!”

In the live broadcast, facing such a scene, even Cultivators were dazzled, struggling to follow with their eyes.

Fortunately, the footage slowed down in time, presenting the combat scene clearly before everyone.

Even so, the minds of the viewers were captivated, leaving them speechless for a long time.

In the end, they could only sigh softly.

“This Demon Monk… is going to lose!”

Atop Tan Mountain, in front of the Immortal Mirror, Yuzhao heaved a sigh, pronouncing the outcome.

“Young master has a discerning eye!”

Even the Heaven-Drying Mirror Spirit agreed, voicing its approval: “Though at this moment the two seem evenly matched, the Demon Monk fights with his bare hands, using his own strength, naturally at ease, while the other manipulates his armor and weapon as natural extensions of his limbs, having reached the realm where he could do as he pleases, hence such mastery in his spear skills!”

“In terms of martial skill and technique, in terms of power and effort, this person is superior in every aspect to the Demon Monk, he’s not merely a Martial Man with just Deity Transformation Cultivation, but undoubtedly a Divine Martial Venerable who has immersed himself in Martial Arts for thousands of years.”

“His Martial Arts have reached a divine level, capable of turning a fraction of strength into tenfold its power. If not for the limitation of his Cultivation, his foundation not being as profound, just one move would be enough to slay the Demon Monk, turning him into a ghost fallen by his spear!”

“Although they appear evenly matched now, if the stalemate drags on, the defeat and demise of the Demon Monk are only a matter of time.”

“Such a man should not be made an enemy unless absolutely necessary, Young Master. If he doesn’t perish mid-way, he is destined to become a Martial Path True Immortal!”

As expected of a Supreme Immortal Artifact, it hit the nail on the head with its words, clearly untangling the intricate nuances.

“Martial Path True Immortal?”

Yuzhao murmured, her expression complex.

True Immortal, how difficult is it to achieve?

As a descendant of the Alliance Heavenly Tao, her talent goes without saying, but to overcome the Nine Tribulations and attain the longevity of a True Immortal, she still had to take the Great Oath of the Alliance Heavenly and rely on the Slaughtering Demon achievement to seek the opportunity to become a True Immortal.

Thus one sees the difficulty of the path to immortality.

But this person…

“Bang!!!”

Before she could gather her thoughts, a clang sounded, and brilliant sparks burst forth.

During their fierce fight, the stalemate started to clarify within moments.

With each thrust of the spear and each punch, Sada began to show signs of faltering, already at a retreating disadvantage.

He couldn’t withstand it, couldn’t withstand it!

Inferior in skills, inferior in strength, and his body even more so!

Having not yet recovered from the Heavenly Tribulation’s injuries and facing such a formidable enemy in a life or death struggle, how long could he hold on?

As his True Power depleted by a fraction, his injuries worsened by that much more, and within moments, the huge wound in his chest that had barely begun to heal was now seeping threads of golden-red blood, with the fierce flashing of arc light.

Clearly his injuries were intensifying, on the verge of eruption!

Under such a burden, it was natural for his power to fall short.

In contrast to his opponent…

“Ha!”

With the Dragon Lance in hand, Xu Yang stirred up a storm of flower petals, as if to shatter the Milky Way itself, his strength never waning, his vigor never fading, instead, he grew more ferocious and powerful as the battle waged on, surrounded by a blazing golden light, as if nine dragons were soaring high, pressing his opponent into a relentless retreat.

Strong, strong, strong!

With the shifting tides, the strong rise and the weak fall.

There was no need to speak of the outcome of their tangled struggle; Sada already knew it well.

Further delay meant certain defeat, even certain death!

Only by breaking the stalemate could he stand a chance at survival.

But how to break it?

His opponent’s Martial Arts were divine, his skills unparalleled, his handling of the two-zhang-long Dragon Lance as if it were a part of him, thwarting his numerous powerful assaults without letting him close enough to capitalize on the inherent danger of short-range combat.

Facing such an adversary, relying on martial prowess or skill, strength or cunning, it was difficult to break the stalemate.

There was only one option left…

With a deep shout, Sada avoided the spear point, giving way while exerting his Mana, powering up the Demon Buddha Divine Power!

“Reincarnation Seal!!!”
