C1373 The End of an Age
Under the nourishment of his blood essence, Yao Guangxiao's Dharma Idol's figure shone brilliantly, covering the sky and sweeping through the horizon!
At this moment, Yao Guangxiao had fully displayed all of his several hundred years of experience and hardships. Whether it was the movements of his hands or the hand seals, as well as the chanting of the incantations, they were all in sync with the great Dao.
As for his Dharma Idol, under the nourishment of the endless magic, the cracks on its body started to slowly regenerate, as if it was trying to restore its former glory. The domain formed by the laws did not cause any damage to the Dharma Idol.
The Dharma Idol became increasingly powerful, crushing everything in its path. The pressure it exuded caused the Bell Mountain to tremble incessantly, as if it could be razed to the ground by this manic aura at any time. It seemed as if it could break free from the domain formed by the Laws at any time.
However, when this scene fell into the perception of a peerless expert like old man Barbarian, it was naturally not hard to know that this old thing Yao Guangxiao was currently fighting with his life. Although his method seemed to be on par with the great Dao, it was actually consuming the very essence of the Dharma Idol, as well as his own life force. He was fighting with all his might, all in the hopes of killing Meng Hao.
Back then, when Yao Guangxiao was planning to open the immortal gate, he would never have imagined that things would develop to this point.
Although the power of his Dharma Idol was unrivalled, Lin Bai was not afraid in the slightest. He did not fall under the wind at all as he whistled loudly. Countless streams of starlight descended, causing the domain formed by the Laws to grow more and more solid. It also caused the entire domain to be covered with a vast expanse of white.
Especially at the end, because of the relationship between the boundless star energies, in the domain formed by the laws, around Lin Bai's body, the afterimage of the sun, moon, and stars actually appeared. Countless huge stars revolved at a fixed rhythm, surrounding Lin Bai in the center, as if at this moment, Lin Bai was the center of this universe, the creator of this world.
It was as if endless starlight had gathered and formed a peerless treasure sword that was capable of crushing everything in its path, constantly rushing at one's Dharma Idol! And the domain formed by the Laws was like a furnace, wanting to melt Yao Guangxiao's Dharma Idol within it.
Boom!" Yao Guangxiao already didn't know how many times he wanted to control his body to attack the domain that was formed by the laws. But although the power of his body was peerless, striking the domain that was formed by the laws was like hitting a ball of cotton.
And most importantly, along the domain formed by the laws, there was an endless pressure emitting out of it. This domain seemed to have melted the world into it, and the endless pressure was like a sea, like a mountain, pressing down on one.
This strange feeling caused Yao Guangxiao's heart to tremble. He couldn't help but tremble, and even the fighting spirit in his heart began to dissipate.
The mountains and rivers shattered, and the heavens and earth began to change. A bizarre Qi began to spread through the void, constantly emitting towards the heavens and the earth. Rocks flew in the air and the energy from the calligraphy fluctuations shot up into the sky. The battle had reached a white-hot stage and it seemed as if the sky would collapse at any moment.
Countless people were indescribably shocked. Their hearts were in turmoil, and they were all dumbstruck. They didn't know what to say anymore.
"Unbelievable!" Far away in the cold north, Wuzhi Qi's heart shook. His eyes looked like they could see through space to Mount Zhong. He muttered to himself, "Could that kid be the reincarnation of his master?" How can it be so terrifying? "
"Uncle Liu, you can't kill me!" In this kind of situation, he felt as if the one fighting against him right now was not that young man, Lin Bai, but the one who had suppressed him hundreds of years ago, Liu Bowen, "I will definitely enter the Door of Immortality, I will definitely be able to achieve longevity, and make up for my deficiencies!"
His lifeblood essence flowed out from his body, converging towards his Dharma Idol. His flesh and blood had already completely merged with the Dharma Idol, and there was even an aura similar to Lin Bai's that had stepped into the Spirit Refinement realm.
Lin Bai did not care about Yao Guangxiao's angry roar, nor did he care about Yao Guangxiao's desperate struggles. He lightly shouted, instantly raising his essence, energy, and divine to their peak levels. He even completely controlled the domain formed by the Laws.
It was as if at this moment, he was everything within the domain. If he wanted to be destroyed, he would be destroyed. If he wanted to be reborn, he could be reborn!
And just like this, a sudden change in his state of mind caused all sorts of strange changes to occur within the domain formed by the Laws. At the edge of the domain, lines of imprints formed by great Daos began to appear, as if there was a complete and flawless world around them!
At this moment, just as Lin Bai had said, his martial arts had reached its peak. Even a single word was unnecessary! This was the law. This was the immutable and eternal law. This was the power to suppress everything!
"I want to be born! I want to enter the Door of Immortality! " All of the blood Qi in his body surged, converging towards his Dharma Idol, as if it had already completely disregarded his life. The blood Qi dissipated and wisps of death Qi started to appear on his body, it was not a technique, but a sign of his body becoming rotten, this battle had already released all of his power.
To him, if he couldn't enter the Celestial Gate and was defeated, then he wouldn't have any way to live!
"Life and death are in my hands. If I want you to live, you will live. If I want you to die, there will be no way for you to live!" Lin Bai smiled coldly as his hands slowly gathered together. He placed his palms together and slowly rubbed them together as he spoke, "Harmonization of Laws, annihilation of the dao!"
As his voice faded, the domain that was formed by the laws suddenly contracted and let out a series of loud noises. The aftermath of his words was as if it was made of rotten wood, directly rushing into the ninth layer of the sky.
Under this enormous pressure, Yao Guangxiao suddenly felt an aura of death approaching him. He wanted to avoid it, he wanted to escape, but the appearance of the world that was deeply entrenched within the domain of Laws was like a root that couldn't be moved at all!
Crack! Crack! It was a sharp, piercing sound, one after the other. Under the pressure of the Law Domain's sudden shrinking and rotation, Yao Guangxiao's body began to split apart at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Furthermore, under the effects of the erasure, after his Dharma Idol was destroyed, he immediately turned into countless scattered particles that continuously floated in the air. They were like drops of old man's tears, appearing to be incomparably sorrowful.
Point by point, drop by drop, the body of the Dharma Idol continued to melt. More and more light rained down before it slowly dispersed into a domain formed by the Laws, becoming countless stars within this domain that reflected back to the domain itself.
This scene was very similar to the scene when Lin Bai's body shattered, but it was very different!
The shattering of Lin Bai's Dharma Idol was deliberately done by him in order to obtain the chance to advance into the next realm of the Spirit Refinement realm. However, the shattering of Yao Guangxiao's Dharma Idol was the price paid for losing a battle.
"How could I lose? How could I lose?!" Yao Guangxiao's breath quickened as he watched his Dharma Idol dissipate. His face suddenly looked as if he had aged several hundred years. His entire body exuded an aged aura as he muttered to himself nonstop.
His gaze was incredibly dazed, his expression incomparably sluggish. He did not want to believe everything that had happened, but that feeling of loss constantly reminded him. Everything that had happened was real, and there was no way to reverse it.
"Victory!" He succeeded! That old scoundrel Yao Guangxiao lost! " Feeling the ever-increasing pressure, the spectators in the capital were all petrified. They couldn't believe their eyes as they tried to sense the aura. They wanted to cheer, but they couldn't stop their tears from rolling down their faces.
This battle might have been short, but they had experienced too much. Every minute, every second, it was like their hearts were riding a roller coaster as they went up and down. No one knew when it would be the bottom or the peak …
Moreover, for this victory, they had paid far too much. The sacrifices of the innocent creatures and medicine dolls around Mount Zhong, as well as Lin Bai's near-death experience, at that time, who would have thought that there would really be a moment of turning the tide!
Not only them, but also the countless other spectators, all sighing with emotion. This was an achievement that they would probably never be able to accomplish in their entire lives. They could only look up at the mountains, gaze at the ocean, and look up at it with sincerity. It was impossible to reach.
"How could I have lost?" Tears were streaming down Yao Guangxiao's face as he muttered to himself nonstop. The memories of the past appeared in his mind, the pain as he cut off his descendant's roots in search of a plan to succeed, the cruelty as he controlled the calamity with blood flowing like rivers, the torment in the darkness of the prison, all of these flashed through his mind with incomparable clarity.
Was this fate, or was this luck? At this moment, Yao Guangxiao no longer had the ability to understand all of this. In his heart, there were only endless questions, only endless doubts! Why did he still end up like this even after giving so much?
A hundred years old red dust flew by with a flick of a finger, but the result was so similar, yet the process was so different!
This was a moment where a young man replaced the older generation and became the new ruler of this world. It was a milestone!
For countless years, people like Yao Guangxiao had been like giant stars in the eyes of the disciples of the Mysterious Gate. Even the path that Lin Bai and his juniors had taken had become a huge boulder that pressed down on them.
They had trained in magic before, but no matter how much effort they put into it, they were unable to match up to their predecessors! It was just like a mess after a feast. Sometimes, one couldn't help but wonder if the inheritance of the phase art was really going to end.
However, this chapter had completely changed everything from before! The glory of the predecessors thousands of years ago was not truly indestructible, nor was it truly indestructible. As long as they worked hard, they would still be able to be suppressed!
Regardless of the process, this fierce battle was not simply about victory or defeat. It was the end of an era.
