Traces of every being depicted in the Spirit Paintings could be found among the tattoos on Huang Tianhu’s body.
He had gathered the Ten Thousand Spirits into his own body.
Since ancient tis, tattoos have co with many taboos and conventions. The forms of Deities and Exotic Beasts, in particular, were not to be tattooed on the body lightly.
In taphysics, it is believed that tattooing a specific design on your body ans you must bear the karma of the being it represents. Your destiny will change accordingly, and if your life is not strong enough to bear this karma, all sorts of calamities will befall you.
This was even more true for soone like a Spiritual Painter, who inherently possessed the power of the "Yin-Yang Tattoo."
These tattoos didn’t just create a psychological suggestion; they genuinely affected the body’s own Life Magnetic Field, causing it to transform.
To bear the Ten Thousand Spirits was a feat difficult even for the body of a Saint.
The reason Huang Tianhu was able to do this was closely related to the Taoist Skill he cultivated.
Ten Thousand Spirits True Technique.
When this Martial Art was cultivated to the Ascension stage, aside from the body becoming a Transford Body, the person’s blood would also undergo an incredible change, gaining a special magnetic field and possessing the "Hidden Spirit" ability.
This was the so-called "Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits."
With this blood, Huang Tianhu could record the essence of various Deities and Exotic Beasts within his body, bear their "karma," and unify them through his bloodline to generate imnse Mana.
As the number of "Spirits" he mastered increased, Huang Tianhu’s power would grow ever stronger.
Control over all Spirits, the Ten Thousand Spirits Body.
Yi Beidou’s eyes narrowed slightly. ’This feels familiar. The Dharma Body that Great Vow Master revealed back then seed to have similar traits, though its expression was completely different.’
’All Taoist Skills are connected. Different paths lead to the sa end.’
’Since my opponent is showing his true strength, how can I possibly hold back?’
BOOM!!
His Qi and blood surged, and Evil Qi billowed like a sea. His body grew taller, flesh and muscle bulging as if a Celestial Demon had been born into the world.
The two hadn’t even moved, yet their True Intent was already churning the surrounding magnetic field. The exhalations from their Breathing Techniques ford pillars of air like dragons, sending waves of energy rolling through the second-floor room and kicking up dust.
"Excellent! I’ve long heard you were a Celestial Demon reborn. Today, I’ll see your True Intent for myself!"
Huang Tianhu let out a great laugh and stomped forward.
BANG!!
The ground shook violently. The worn-out ceramic tiles shattered completely, sending fragnts of the concrete beneath flying. Huang Tianhu shot forward like an arrow.
HAH!!
He let out a low cry, bringing his palm down on Yi Beidou.
The mont he struck, the Qi and blood in his body pulsed. The Ten Thousand Spirits tattoos on his skin, along with the landscapes of mountains and rivers, all seed to spring to life in that instant.
An imnse True Intent reverberated through the room. The whistling wind from his descending palm was deafening.
The saying goes that the brush tip is like a sword, and the Spiritual Painter lineage had always favored sword techniques and Swordsmanship. But Huang Tianhu was different. He had abandoned the sword in favor of his palm.
’A sword is too narrow. How could it possibly bear my True Intent?’
With a single palm strike, it was as if all the Divine Spirits were beneath his hand, created by him and subject to his command.
’One day, I will use my True Intent to manifest a whole universe.’
’To cage heaven and earth within form, to crush the myriad things at the tip of a brush.’
The Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits gave Huang Tianhu an incredibly strong True Intent, and it also made his physical body far more powerful!
Yi Beidou had only ever seen such a potent True Intent and formidable Dharma Body in experts of the older generation.
’This man’s strength isn’t in the wonders of his paintings, but in his own Cultivation!’
’Perfect!!’
Yi Beidou t the attack with a palm of his own—the strike of a Demon Body questioning the heavens, in pursuit of the Great Dao.
Celestial Demon Inquiry Dao!
「anwhile, outside the small western-style house.」
The five Hall Masters were still discussing Yi Beidou’s identity.
"Could it be that man from before was really a Land Human Immortal who achieved Body Ascension?"
The rotund Hall Master said in disbelief.
The man they saw inside was simply too young.
"It’s entirely possible. Why else would the one on the second floor set up a Dao Field here? Perhaps he was waiting for this very person," Qi Shengping said in a low voice.
"Doesn’t that an there’s going to be Magical Combat between Saint Experts here?"
A Hall Master said gravely, and everyone couldn’t help but look up at the second floor.
It was a pity they couldn’t witness such a clash.
In the next mont, however, everyone was stunned to see what looked like a seven-colored radiance diffuse from the second-floor window, gone in a flash.
It was the fleeting luminescence that naturally appeared when Heart Intent magnetic fields clashed violently.
Before everyone could even register their shock, a soul-shaking explosion followed.
BOOM!!
It was as if a grenade had gone off on the second floor. The air inside was instantly compressed and blasted out of the narrow windows.
Dust, rubble, and the aging window fras were all instantly blown out by the blast.
’What the hell?!’
Everyone present, including the five Hall Masters, felt their scalps go numb with shock. They all instinctively began to back away.
Was this a fight between two people of flesh and blood, or a military bombing?!
Expressions of utter disbelief were on everyone’s faces.
However, this was only the beginning.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
Within a short ten breaths, a continuous series of explosions echoed from the second floor of the small house. Shockwave after shockwave erupted from the windows, and everyone could clearly feel the entire ground and the small house vibrating.
Except this ti, it wasn’t an illusion caused by a spiritual shock, but a real, physical tremor.
SCRAPE... SCRAPE... SCRAPE...
The small western-style house had been abandoned for quite so ti, and its condition was already worrying. Now, amid the continuous vibrations, dust and debris rained down from the entire structure. Anyone who didn’t know better would think a demolition crew was violently tearing it down from the inside.
Even ng Qianyuan and the others, who were on the first floor, had temporarily retreated outside the small house.
"This... This building isn’t going to collapse, is it?!"
A disciple’s eyes widened. He had a feeling the building was on the verge of collapse.
’What kind of ss have I walked into? Is this still Earth?’
"If this keeps up, it just might. This building is several decades old. If they keep going at it like this..." Qi Shengping said, but even he felt the words sounded absurd as they left his mouth.
A fight between two people of flesh and blood was going to bring down a whole building? Even a dilapidated old one? No one would believe it if they heard.
「Inside the second-floor room of the small house.」
After Yi Beidou and Huang Tianhu clashed palms again, their figures separated, standing ten paces apart.
Huang Tianhu was aided by the Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits, while Yi Beidou was born with a Celestial Demon Body. In their struggle, it was impossible to determine a victor in such a short ti.
The floor was now a complete ss, and dust filled the air.
"I think we should stop here. For us to determine a winner, it likely won’t be a short matter. We’d have to fight to the death. Besides, we aren’t the only two sparring today," Huang Tianhu said, glancing at the walls from which plaster was continuously falling.
Their purpose here was just to spar and test their skills; there was no life-or-death grudge between them. Having reached this point, they already understood each other’s True Intent Dao Skill. If they truly wanted to decide a winner, it would likely require a battle to the death.
There was no need to take it that far.
’Besides, it wasn’t easy to set up this Dao Field, and I still have other Saint Experts to greet later. If we actually bring the building down, who’s going to take the bla?’
’This ti, it was indeed my oversight. I didn’t consider the building’s structural integrity when I chose the location. But I truly never imagined soone could clash with head-on to this degree.’
’Most importantly, although I look young, I’m actually almost fifty years old. Yet the man opposite is only twenty-seven.’
’His potential for growth is simply imasurable.’
