Chapter 480: The Authority of Dharma Appearance

Chapter 480: Chapter 480: The Authority of Dharma Appearance

"You are not a Formation Master!" Chen Yunfan suddenly "realized," how could a Formation Master have such great combat power?

"Which force sent you here? What else did you discover?" he demanded harshly.

Shi Hao spread his hands, "Isn’t it just a huge mine?"

"You’re seeking death!" Chen Yunfan stepped forward, slashing at Shi Hao with his sword.

This man must be silenced.

Shi Hao laughed heartily, his blade meeting the attack.

The domain opened, and ordinary attacks wanted to threaten him?

That was simply impossible!

Unless Chen Yunfan’s power overwhelmed Shi Hao, making it too late for Shi Hao to parry or dodge even if he knew from where the sword was coming, otherwise, within the domain, Shi Hao was essentially in an invincible position.

After hundreds of moves, Chen Yunfan suddenly stopped his attacks.

He realized he was merely wasting his energy.

The other’s insight into the battle reached an inconceivable level; every attack he made was futile, so, trying to defeat and kill Shi Hao in such a manner was purely wishful thinking.

He had to change his strategy.

"Forcing me to use my ultimate move, you also deserve your fate!" Chen Yunfan said proudly.

With a hum, the center of his forehead flickered with golden light, and then a golden figure emerged, instantly swelling countless times in size, transforming into a giant ten meters tall.

Normally, such a small mine would not accommodate such a tall figure, but this was not a real person but a Dharma appearance, so currently, only two legs were standing in the mine while the rest was unseen.

Nevertheless, Shi Hao still sensed an overwhelming sense of power.

Boom!

Before he could complete his thought, a giant golden hand suddenly burst through the roof of the cave and slammed towards him.

This guy’s Dharma appearance turned out to be a golden giant?

Such a peculiar Dharma appearance.

Shi Hao retreated; this Dharma appearance could penetrate physical matter, seemingly invisible and intangible, but deadly for beings with spirits, crushing directly at the soul!

Boom!

The Dharma appearance struck empty air, the hand immediately lifted and then swiftly slapped down again.

"Watch the sword!" Chen Yunfan seized the opportunity to attack from both sides.

Shi Hao retreated, retreated, and retreated; he didn’t even need to use the Cloud Piercing Step, his speed easily outpacing Chen Yunfan.

The two, one withdrawing and the other pursuing, quickly reached the initial large deep pit.

Now, the full appearance of the golden giant manifested.

Shi Hao didn’t retreat further; it wasn’t that he feared combat but rather, he wanted to observe the full Dharma appearance, which was why he retreated to this place.

Boom!

Chen Yunfan once again ordered the Dharma appearance to hit with a mighty hand. Given the terrifying size of the Dharma aspect, this slap didn’t need to be too precise yet was still enough to engulf Shi Hao entirely.

Shi Hao smiled, flicked his finger, and the Purple Thunder Spear burst out, striking at the golden giant.

The speed of the Purple Thunder Spear was exceedingly fast.

It could be said, except for light, there is nothing faster than lightning.

Yet, the moment the Purple Thunder Spear hit, the golden giant suddenly disintegrated!

—It split into nine pieces, instantly shattering, making the Purple Thunder Spear miss its target.

This was a Dharma appearance, belonging to the spiritual level, with naturally astonishing transformations.

Huh?

Shi Hao was startled, only to see the nine golden giant parts fuse back together, reforming into a golden giant, continuing its onslaught towards him.

On the other side, Chen Yunfan himself was also charging with his sword, his momentum fierce.

Shi Hao suddenly realized, "What could it be, I wondered. So, this giant is not one Dharma appearance, but a combination of nine Dharma appearances! You really have strong perseverance, always only cultivating a part of the Dharma appearance. In the early stages, your combat power must not have been strong."

Just one hand, half a foot—what power could such a Dharma appearance have?

But not until the nine Dharma appearances were cultivated did that combination form a golden giant whose might underwent a drastic change.

One must be able to endure the loneliness and have the patience for this.

Chen Yunfan proudly stated, "What does it matter if you figured it out? My Dharma appearance is unsolvable!"

Nine in one, a perfect fusion; no matter how strong each individual Dharma appearance is, how could it compare to his?

During the conversation, he also launched an attack, never giving Shi Hao a moment to breathe.

Shi Hao chuckled, murmuring, "Really? I don’t believe it."

The golden giant rushed forward, its palm striking down.

But just at that moment, endless light burst forth, and a terrible heat spread out, instantly melting even refined iron into molten metal.

"Ah—", Chen Yunfan immediately screamed, as his Dharma appearance suffered great damage.

He was shocked to see a fireball hanging above Shi Hao’s head, blazing fiercely, making it unbearable to even look directly at.

Is that a Dharma appearance?

But how could that be possible?

A mere single Dharma appearance actually overpowering his own nine Dharma appearances, even though they were fused?

"What kind of Dharma appearance is this?" Chen Yunfan gasped, his Dharma appearance having sustained severe damage, and while it could gradually recover, even his soul had been scorched temporarily.

Shi Hao smiled slightly. "Have you never seen the sun in the sky?"

What, a Sun Dharma Aspect?

Chen Yunfan’s first reaction was, of course, disbelief. How could someone possibly cultivate a Sun Dharma Aspect?

You have to know, to achieve Self-Observation, you first need to "observe" in order to "envision," and what is observed is the essence, not the form.

So why don’t you go observe the sun itself!

How could there possibly be a Sun Dharma Aspect in this world?

But if it were not the Sun Dharma Aspect, how could it possess such power, to severely damage his golden giant with just one Dharma appearance?

You have to know, he is ranked seventy-seventh on the Detached Ranking, already strong enough. Now, suddenly, someone even more monstrous than him appears. How is he to accept this?

"Who exactly are you?" Chen Yunfan cried out in shock. Was this truly a martial artist from the Western Rock Continent?

—After the collapse of the Purple Green Secret Realm, numerous martial artists were randomly thrown onto the Four Continents, so it wouldn’t be impossible for a genius from the South Wood Continent to appear here.

Shi Hao shrugged, "You guessed right. I am not from the Western Rock Continent."

Indeed.

Chen Yunfan nodded inwardly.

"I come from the Eastern Fire Continent."

Pff!

Chen Yunfan almost spurted out. What, the Eastern Fire Continent? The one with the lowest level of martial arts?

How could that be!

However, Shi Hao was no longer interested in talking to him. Wielding the Ninefold Mountain, he slashed over, the Sun Dharma Aspect blazing intensely, the light vast enough to refine Precious Metal.

How could this be blocked?

Chen Yunfan could only retreat, facing this Dharma aspect that transcended the ordinary. Apart from being crushed by a higher realm, how could one possibly fight back?

But was he faster than Shi Hao?

"Ah!"

He screamed; Shi Hao didn’t need to touch him. Under the illumination of the Sun Dharma Aspect, his body’s fluids were evaporated, turning him into a mummified corpse, which was then reduced to ashes by the Sun Dharma Aspect.

A master ranked seventy-seventh on the Detached Ranking, dead without a trace of his bones remaining.
