Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

Chapter 804 519: Resonance of the Martial Arts River (2)

"No, he shouldn't be able to do it. He can't possibly merge these two words into one!"

Yet it was as if this was happening just to give the Dragon Han Great Emperor a clear answer.

Under the Great Nirvana Light, Chen Ku slowly brought together the True Words characters in the centers of his two palms, slowly pressing his hands together.

In this process, it was as though the young man's arms met some invisible obstruction; veins bulged along his forearms, yet at the same time, multicolored Law radiance began to flow in his Double Pupils.

The Tyrant Body Double Pupils transformed to a peak state!

At this moment, in Chen Ku's eyes, he saw not only the connection between these two True Words, but also all the Laws within the heavens, the earth, the universe, within the Dragon Han Divine Mansion—interwoven Dao and Principle.

Especially upon the True Words of these two characters, "Cease" and "War," he saw even more clearly a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, an ordinary body, dressed in a coarse hemp robe, in the ancient era slowly opening his mouth to heaven and earth, speaking out his Dao and Principle:

"Today I pacify all turmoil under heaven, halt all warfare in the world, and establish a Dao. This Dao takes Ceasing War as its name, is born for Great Peace, and is called Martial. The Martial Path is the Dao of pacifying warfare. Those of later generations who practice the Martial Path must know that the Martial Path is born for Great Peace; those who practice Martial shall take supporting Great Peace as their own duty."

At the same time, it was as if a voice in his heart rang in Chen Ku's mind.

"Are you willing to inherit the Martial Ancestor's will, and with Martial power sufficient to pacify the world, uphold Great Peace."

Chen Ku's will trembled for a moment.

In his early years, when he came into this chaotic age and could barely protect himself, he had always schemed only for his own survival. Now, having walked all the way here, he had already stepped into a lofty position; his Cultivation had reached a level where he could influence the course of the world. Having come to this step, if he went further, did he still need to keep cowering and scheming only for himself?

The answer was: no longer!

If from the very beginning he had possessed Martial power to sweep across the world, who would be willing to keep their head down and lie low?

If he possessed Martial power that could pacify the world, then to end the chaotic age and create an era of Great Peace—how could he be unwilling?!

At the instant his thoughts turned, he suddenly felt that the True Words of Cease and War between his palms no longer had any resistance, as if they had aligned with the Martial Arts True Intent within them, pushing the Martial Arts True Intent between his palms to collide directly together.

Pa!

At the instant his palms pressed fully together, the characters "Cease" and "War" in his palms fused into an Ancient character unlike any script that existed in the present world.

The instant this character appeared before Chen Ku—

Boom!

The entire world within the Dragon Han Divine Mansion shook; the temporal void that even the Fourteen Realms could not shake twisted in an instant, revealing the scene outside of the Martial Arts Ancestral Land.

"That is... the Martial Arts Destiny River!!"

In this moment, not only did the Dragon Han Great Emperor cry out in shock, even the Red Sun Buddha that had transformed into the Great Nirvana Light was horrified.

Clearly, when Chen Ku fused the "War" character True Intent from the Primordial Martial Emperor's inheritance with the "Cease" character True Intent passed down by Grand Ancestor Yang Yin, and then aligned it with the Martial Ancestor's Grand Dao True Intent, the entire martial arts system founded by the Martial Ancestor resonated with this Ancient "Martial" character condensed in Chen Ku's palm.

At this moment, Chen Ku looked at this Ancient "Martial" character in his palm, then raised his head to gaze at the Martial Arts River above the Martial Arts Ancestral Land outside the Dragon Han Divine Mansion. An instinctive feeling told him:

"There is something in that Martial Arts River waiting for me!"

This instinctive feeling almost made Chen Ku want to rush into the Martial Arts River in the very next instant to find that thing.

But he still clearly understood what he was doing right now.

"First, take down this Red Sun Buddha."

After the Martial character's True Intent condensed in his palm, Chen Ku raised his head to look at that Great Nirvana Light that pierced down yet could no longer approach him, and merely gently clenched his fist.

Boooom~~~

Within his palm and fist, a will that suppressed ancient and modern alike and pacified heaven and earth flowed out, as he threw a level punch straight toward the Great Nirvana Light above his head.

It looked like a plain, ordinary punch, not even stirring up a gust of fist wind.

But in the eyes of the Red Sun Buddha within the Great Nirvana Light, the instant this punch came forth, it was as though what he saw was not Chen Ku's punch, but a fist striking out from the ancient era itself, directly punching through the chaotic age of antiquity.

Wherever the Fist Intent passed, it suppressed all injustice and punched through an era.

If the ultimate Magic Skill of the Great Nirvana Seal left behind by the Buddha was intended to help all beings sever the root of afflictions and reach Paradise—

Then the will within this punch of Chen Ku's was precisely the invincible boldness left behind by the Martial Ancestor, using invincible Martial power to pacify all turmoil and open an eternal Great Peace.

With invincible Martial power, to halt war and chaos!

This was a kind of forceful overbearingness!

On the level of will itself, it completely crushed the false Nirvana that the Red Sun Buddha had evolved by relying on the Dragon Han Dorama Sutra.

Thus, under this seemingly plain punch, the instant it touched that Great Nirvana Light, all Laws, Primordial Qi, Principles, and Buddhist radiance within the Nirvana Light collapsed, violently blasted apart into a rain of light filling the heavens.

"No! Dragon Han Great Emperor! You promised! Hurry and lend this old monk a hand!"

The Red Sun Buddha saw that Chen Ku's punch had shattered his pseudo-Fifteenth Realm strike and was directly crushing toward his will.

The Fist Mark occupied every possibility he had for survival, blanketing the entirety of his sight.

Yet the Dragon Han Great Emperor had already shrunk back into the river of time, face dark as water, expression iron-blue to the extreme:

"Tyrant Body, Tyrant Body... I should have thought of it long ago. Those few old things joined forces to found Dao, forged several Cultivation Rivers for the mortal world, and together created the seven mythic physiques. It was all so that after they were gone, there would be future generations to inherit their will. That's why this Tyrant Body, condensing the Martial Ancestor's Martial imprint, would be this easy."

For a moment, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind:

"The seven major physiques... The other physiques—could they also have each received the imprints of the Five Grand Ancestors and the True Dragon? If so..."

His mind grew grave to the extreme.

The Dragon Han Great Emperor no longer had the heart to pay attention to the Red Sun Buddha.

Boom!

Thus, after Chen Ku's punch blasted forth, the Red Sun Buddha was completely knocked out from that state of Great Nirvana Light; his body turned into a sky full of Buddhist radiance scattering down, letting out an unwilling roar:

"This old monk is not reconciled!"

But no matter how he howled and roared, his will was like a balloon rapidly inflated to bursting. With a boom, high above the Dragon Han Divine Mansion it exploded like a cluster of fireworks, finally and utterly dissipating from the mortal world, dead beyond dead.

[Diagram Master has suppressed and slain the Red Sun Buddha, obtaining a strand of Fourteen Realms Evil Qi]

As this message appeared on the Transformation Diagram, Chen Ku's gaze fell upon the countless Buddhist Treasures and the Cave Heaven world of the Red Sun Buddha that had fallen after he was blown apart.

Yinglong Refining Realm Great Immortal Skill!

Chen Ku pointed a finger; from his fingertip instantly surged a vast Divine Power capable of Refining all things. This Yinglong Great Immortal Skill, with Chen Ku now already at Fourteen Realms Cultivation, when he cast it, not only brought him no pressure or discomfort, but under the operation of that Chaos Cave Heaven within his body, its radiance was ten times more blazing.

Zi-la~~

Like a red-hot branding iron stabbing through a snowball, the Cave Heaven world of the Red Sun Buddha, pierced by the Yinglong Refining Realm Great Immortal Skill, was instantly Refining into a mass of vast Creation Essence Qi, devoured and absorbed by Chen Ku's Tyrant Body.

In the blink of an eye.

Obtaining once more a vast Creation Essence Qi from a Fourteen Realms expert caused the Pure and Muddy Qi at the edges of Chen Ku's still somewhat hazardous Cave Heaven to be completely transformed into the form of heaven and earth in an instant. At the same time, his Cave Heaven was like it had been injected with a shot of chicken blood; surging vitality burst forth, one after another strands of order Laws, under the nourishment of the Creation Essence Qi, formed the framework of a world.

In one stroke, his Fourteen Realms Cultivation was stabilized; there were no longer any hidden dangers.

Hoo!!

Exhaling a mouthful of Dirt Qi, Chen Ku grasped the Martial Arts Truth Words, felt his own Cultivation, then calmly looked toward the Dragon Han Great Emperor in the ring and asked:

"Dragon Han Great Emperor, this junior is very curious now... do I already possess the power to kill you?"

Within the river of time, the Dragon Han Great Emperor met Chen Ku's gaze coldly. "You are welcome to try!"
