Chapter 333: Chapter 222: First Experiencing the Power of Dharma-Nature (Seeking monthly tickets, subscriptions!)

A few dozen breaths later.

Jiang Yuan and Kong Nian stopped in an ancient forest in the wilderness.

In the distance were continuous mountains, and all around were towering ancient trees that reached dozens to a hundred meters tall.

“This should be the place!” Kong Nian nodded.

Then he turned to Jiang Yuan and asked, “How much do you know about the Dharma Realm?”

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, then said, “The primordial spirit is the most potent part of the Dharma Realm. If one can cultivate a secret technique for the primordial spirit, one can slay any heaven genius possessed of a divine soul.”

“The dharma-nature is the most formidable power of this realm. Innate divine saints, everything between heaven and earth can be a dharma-nature.”

“Among living beings, the dharma-nature can take the form of real dragons, phoenixes, or other mythical beasts, as well as Buddhas, divine spirits, ancient Heavenly Lords, and so forth.”

“The dharma-nature of everything under heaven and earth can take the form of the sun, moon, stars, or even famous mountains, rivers, and so forth.”

“In other words, no one can fully enumerate all the dharma-natures in the world!”

Kong Nian nodded slightly: “You’re right. Any Contemplation Diagram could potentially manifest a Dharma. Thus, there are countless forms of dharma-natures in the world.”

“The true dharma-nature that I have condensed is one of the most famous among many dharma-natures.”

“To condense this kind of dharma-nature, one must possess an invincible willpower, believing in the invincibility of oneself and unbeatability within the same realm. Only then can there be a chance to condense it.”

“This kind of dharma-nature is very suitable for you. With your strength, unbeatability within the same realm is a matter of course!”

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly without arguing.

Kong Nian continued, “In the Supreme Mystery Sect, there’s no secret technique for the primordial spirit, so I can’t let you experience the power of the secret technique of the primordial spirit.”

“In the entire Qianyuan Kingdom, not many forces possess the secret technique of the primordial spirit. Only the Heavenly Demon Sect, Tianjian Mountain, and the Qianyuan Imperial Family are known to have the secret technique of the primordial spirit. This is also one reason why Wang Xiao chose to retreat when he faced the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect.”

“If one fights within the same realm and withstands the attack of the secret technique of the primordial spirit, it’s easy to fall into confusion. A moment of confusion can turn victory into defeat. The secret technique of the primordial spirit is incredibly important!”

“However, the Hegemonic Blade Sect has only risen to prominence in recent decades. It is highly likely that Wang Xiao does not possess the secret technique of the primordial spirit. So, there is no need to worry too much about that.”

Kong Nian frowned again, “As for the King of Divine Power, that’s another story! His strength in the Dharma Realm is extraordinary, probably stronger than Wang Xiao. I don’t know how high in the Dharma Realm he is.”

Jiang Yuan said indifferently, “I understand that part. The King of Divine Power is at the fifth level of the Dharma Realm!”

“Fifth level?” Kong Nian’s gaze faltered.

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, confirming, “Fifth level!”

“That would be a bit troublesome!” Kong Nian furrowed his brows, “If he and Wang Xiao come together, how should we deal with them?”

Jiang Yuan recalled the words passed onto him by the King of Divine Power before he left.

Then he said indifferently, “There’s no need to worry about the King of Divine Power. It’s highly unlikely he would join Wang Xiao in coming after us.”

“Oh?” Kong Nian gave Jiang Yuan a curious look, then nodded, “That’s good!”

He then chuckled, “We’ve gone off-topic!”

“As I just said, I have not mastered the secret technique of the primordial spirit, so I can’t let you feel its strength.”

“All I can do is show you the power of the dharma-nature of the primordial spirit.”

As he said this, he suddenly yelled, “Condense!”

With that, his body was instantly enveloped in a golden primordial spirit dharma-nature.

This primordial spirit dharma-nature was only slightly bigger than his body, not even ten meters high.

“Now observe, this is the true dharma-nature. In this state, my fighting strength surges, possessing the power to tear everything apart.”

“You can give it a try.”

As Kong Nian finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand and pushed it towards Jiang Yuan.

The golden palm grew larger in Jiang Yuan’s eyes, slowly approaching him.

Kong Nian knew that Jiang Yuan’s physical body was powerful, so this palm strike was intended to make Jiang Yuan personally experience the formidable nature of the dharma-nature.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan quickly closed his fingers. His palm pushed forward.

Boom-

The two palms collided, causing a deafening noise.

The area within 100 meters instantly disintegrated under this formidable impact.

Both men slowly withdrew their palms.

“Good boy, your physical body is truly extraordinary!”

Kong Nian exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Yuan smiled, “If I didn’t have this ability, how could I dare to fight an accomplished master of the Dharma Realm?”

“How did you feel about just now? It was just an ordinary attack from me.”

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, “It’s very powerful.”

Kong Nian indifferently said, “The Dharma Realm is far from just this much. The meaning of the word dharma-nature is derived from the harmony of heaven and earth! You will now see its real power.”

In the space of a breath, Kong Nian’s primordial powerhouse dharma-nature expanded rapidly.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan quickly retreated.

In an instant, Kong Nian transformed into a 1,500 meters high primordial spirit dharma-nature.

“This is the real dharma-nature. Its power is several times greater than before! But it’s a huge drain on the power of the primordial spirit, and it puts a lot of pressure on the physical body.”

“Without a strong physical body, one cannot successfully condense the true dharma-nature because an ordinary physical body cannot withstand the enormous pressure exerted by the dharma-nature.”

“That’s why I always place great importance on the physical body!”

“I can remain unbeaten in the same realm, and I can condense the true dharma-nature because I also pay significant attention to my physical body.”

Kong Nian’s voice echoed in Jiang Yuan’s ears, like a real thunderbolt exploding, causing his ears to hum.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan had an idea.

In an instant, he melted into heaven and earth, becoming the ruler of this side of the world.

“Senior, please enlighten me!”

“Good!” Kong Nian agreed, “Feel the strength of the Dharma Realm!”

As his words fell, the two men immediately took action and fought each other.

During their battle, space was continually torn apart, and the surrounding dozens of miles were shrouded in darkness, and the towering ancient trees were pulverized by the aftereffects.

Shu Xiaoxiao also retreated continuously, incessantly moving farther away.

A period of time later equivalent to the time it takes to make a cup of tea.

The two slowly stopped, with Jiang Yuan covered in blood.

This blood was not from others, but from himself.

Kong Nian dispelled the primordial spirit dharma-nature, landing in front of Jiang Yuan.

“Good boy, each drop of your blood carries your will. Your physical body has become so powerful that it’s monstrous!”

In the fight just now, facing Kong Nian’s overwhelmingly powerful true dharma-nature.

Jiang Yuan was always at a disadvantage. Each impact caused his body to fail to withstand the tremendous power and rupture, covering him in blood.

But each drop of his blood now contains his will, making all minor injuries heal quickly.

This level of injury didn’t affect him much.

However, this battle made Jiang Yuan realize the power of the Dharma Realm.

For the first time in his life, he had sustained such a severe injury.

If Kong Nian had been a bit stronger, each of his attacks would have added much more to his injuries.

Making the speed of his flesh’s revitalization slower than the speed of receiving damage could be the only way to grind him to death.

Jiang Yuan asked, “Senior, did you just use your full strength?”

Kong Nian shook his head, “I didn’t fight with all my strength, but I did use about 90% of it! A fight with full strength is when we are really desperate.”

“I see!” Jiang Yuan nodded.

Kong Nian glanced at Jiang Yuan before continuing, “Don’t underestimate yourself; because I have developed my true dharma-nature, I can completely equal the great cultivation of Dharma Realm Third Layer!”

“Based on your performance just now, you can easily contend with Dharma Realm Third Layer cultivators for a while, and that’s enough!”

“If I were to face Wang Xiao, I would have to go all out to quickly kill him. Once I get away, you and I working together can even kill a fourth layer of the Dharma Realm!”

Jiang Yuan chuckled, “Senior, you don’t have to comfort me specifically! I’m not that arrogant yet. I am already very satisfied with my performance.”

Shu Xiaoxiao now came to Jiang Yuan’s side.

“Young Master!”

She murmured softly.

Jiang Yuan laughed and gave her head a rub.

He then turned to Kong Nian, “Senior, I’ll go back first to adjust my state to prepare for the impending war!”

“Go ahead!” Kong Nian nodded.

In an instant, Jiang Yuan and Shu Xiaoxiao turned into two streaks of light and disappeared into the sky.

Along the way, Jiang Yuan fell into deep thought.

His recent battle with Kong Nian made him realize the strength of dharma-nature.

He also understood his current power level.

His strength was completely comparable to those who just entered the Dharma Realm.

The primordial spirit dharma-nature was indeed incredibly powerful.

If Kong Nian hadn’t been bolstered by his dharma-nature, Jiang Yuan was confident he could defeat him.

However, with the support of the primordial spirit dharma-nature, the power displayed by Kong Nian was completely different.

The difference between the two was like heaven and earth, far more powerful than the Divine Bridge Realm!

Just now in front of Kong Nian, he had attempted to open the realm.

But under the divine power of dharma-nature, his realm was instantly torn apart, where various energies mixed together and it was impossible to unfold the Five Elements Realm to suppress the primordial spirit dharma-nature.

From this, the strength of dharma-nature could be seen.

It was only because of his enhanced state that he was able to fight Kong Nian for so long.

This was, after all, the gap of a large realm and two smaller realms.

The true self dharma-nature that Kong Nian condensed was among the top 100, his strength far exceeds those of the same level.

So, Jiang Yuan was not an opponent for Kong Nian, which he had mentally prepared for.

If he was not normal, being stronger would be abnormal.

After all, Jiang Yuan didn’t use his most important method, which was the divine power in his eyes now.

An innate divine power capable of killing immortals.

In ancient times, the Human Emperor could use this divine power to slay true immortals.

This was a defiance of the heavens that crossed the realms of humans and immortals.

Jiang Yuan didn’t believe that using this divine power, he couldn’t kill a Dharma Realm cultivator?

It was an innate divine power nurtured by the Golden Innate Qi Yun.

By now, Jiang Yuan could feel that his physical body and dharma-power could barely use this divine power.

Although it would impose a great load on his body.

But it was enough!

This was a true trump card!

A trump card capable of reversing the situation!

It was also one of the sources of Jiang Yuan’s confidence now!

Moreover, even without this trump card.

Although Jiang Yuan was not an opponent of the powerful Dharma Realm like Kong Nian, he had enough power to defend himself in front of him.

Just now when he fought with Kong Nian, he didn’t even operate the spatial rules, relying solely on his sturdy physical body and dharma-power.

If he operated the spatial rules and hid in the deep space.

Each of Kong Nian’s attacks, their power would be cut by a large percentage.

Additionally, each piece of his flesh contained his will; as long as he was not critically hit at once, it could not cause him much damage.

It would be incredibly difficult to kill him under such circumstances.

So, with the results of this test, Jiang Yuan was very satisfied.

He can completely accept this outcome.

After this battle, he was completely relieved and felt very settled.

The two quickly returned to the mansion.

…

In the bathhouse.

Jiang Yuan leaned against the bathtub while Shu Xiaoxiao carefully wiped off the blood scabs on his body.

“Young Master, it must have hurt a lot just now!”

She said, her eyes welling up with tears.

Jiang Yuan laughed, “It’s just a minor injury, just skin rupture.”

“But Young Master’s body was full of blood! It looked so scary!”

“It’s just scary to look at, don’t worry too much!”

After speaking, he turned around and rubbed her head.

Shu Xiaoxiao immediately lowered her head, blushing slightly!

Under Shu Xiaoxiao’s care, Jiang Yuan was able to wash off all the blood from his body.

After leaving the bathhouse, he felt incredibly relaxed all over.

Compared to shaking off the blood and dirt from his body, Jiang Yuan still felt that bathing and cleaning himself was more enjoyable, and mentally he was much more relaxed.
