Supreme Principle Shakes the Dao

With no further objections, the group joined forces to meet the rapidly approaching Azure Mysterious Corpse King and Beast King Anye, determined to intercept them.

Upon entering the Uranium Crystal State, Si Ming discovered that he was still at a disadvantage; the difference in their Foundation was too great!

The Netherworld Insect Princess's fist techniques were unremarkable, even chaotic, like a martial arts disciple who didn't know any fist techniques throwing punches randomly. However, on the other hand, she had a subtle level of control over her strength, and her punches did not leak out at all. Combined with her absolutely superior Foundation, each punch had a state of returning to simplicity, so much so that Si Ming was beaten back step by step, with no power to fight back.

The Netherworld Insect Princess unleashed a barrage of punches, one after another. With each punch, a powerful gust of wind created a thunderous roar from the tips of her fists, their force unmatched. The ground within several feet was ravaged as if by a storm, with sand and stones flying everywhere and dust billowing in the air.

Although she had no martial arts skills, her eyesight was extremely accurate. She always struck at the weaknesses in Si Ming's body, like a Grandmaster had lost her memory and forgotten all the martial arts moves she had learned in her life, but her martial Dao Realm had not disappeared because of this.

Si Ming took another punch head-on, his body lurching backward like a giant boulder, crushing everything in its path until he finally crashed into a three-meter-high boulder, where he sank deep into it.

"Dragon-Elephant Stomp, Vajra Gate!"

After barely managing to stop himself, Si Ming stomped his legs, releasing the remaining energy within his body. The boulder behind him shattered with a deafening roar, but the shattered fragments did not disperse; instead, they were held in place by his True Qi. With a powerful strike of his Vajra Palm, the fragments scattered violently in all directions, roaring and bursting forth. In an instant, dust and withered branches filled the sky, obscuring the sun, and the ground trembled violently due to the lingering force.

However, the Netherworld Insect Princess stood still, throwing out both fists head-on. With a loud bang, Si Ming, and the residual force caused the ground below to crack open. Then, she channeled new power into her body and followed up almost without pause, sending Si Ming flying once again.

In the past, Si Ming was the one who used his small, thin body to knock away those much stronger men and subdue them with his strength. But now the tables have turned, and today he is experiencing the same humiliation, being beaten down by a petite, naked girl.

"This is truly unreasonable! I've just broken through in my cultivation and mastered the Polonium Poison Primordial Spirit Body. Shouldn't a powerful enemy appear at a time like this so I can give him a good beating and demonstrate the strength of my new Cultivation Body?"

Although Si Ming likes to subvert expectations, he prefers to subvert others' expectations rather than be subverted by them.

"The principles of this world are ever-changing, but the Tao remains constant, cyclical, and eternally existent."

With a powerful kick, the ground sank three feet into the earth, and the Netherworld Insect Princess shot out like an arrow. Her slender, fair hands lashed out fiercely, and her perfectly round fist force annihilated the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

"I see. That's why you, despite your profound internal strength, don't understand any martial arts techniques. It's because you only pursue the Great Dao and don't care about the trivial details... But don't underestimate reason. The ultimate reason can still lead back to the Great Dao."

Si Ming's body trembled, and he actually withdrew from the Uranium Crystal State. Instead of retreating, he advanced and rushed towards the fist wind that was destroying everything. Along the way, he activated the Divine Sight Illusory Observation Art, but instead of amplifying his power, he amplified his speed, and his pace suddenly quickened.

He swung his knife with his left hand and slashed it at the Netherworld Insect Princess's wrist, striking precisely at the point of force. Like a hidden reef blocking the current, he shattered the perfectly rounded and concentrated fist energy. Then, he transformed his knife into a palm with his left hand and gently pressed down, borrowing the opponent's nascent power. He swiftly closed in and threw out his right fist, merging the two forces into one, creating a thunderous boom!

With a burst of force like a torrent, the Netherworld Insect Princess was sent flying backward at an even faster speed than when she arrived, crashing heavily into the chains.

"So, this is the taste of reason. Once you reach the top, even the Great Way must bow down."

Si Ming adjusted his breathing, exhaled a breath of foul-smelling air filled with the smell of blood, and activated his Bodhi Golden Body to dissolve the energy that had seeped into his body, allowing his injuries to heal rapidly.

"It seems I'll have to truly try to persuade them with reason today."

After their exchange, Si Ming had discerned the situation of the Netherworld Insect Princess: she possessed a high Foundation and advanced realm, but lacked knowledge of her specific techniques and moves.

If it were an ordinary martial artist, even if they knew this, they would be helpless against their opponent. Although the Netherworld Insect Princess did not know any techniques, her martial Dao Realm was high enough and her vision was accurate enough. She did not need to use any moves herself. She only needed to keep attacking the flaws in her opponent's moves with her simple and unadorned fist strength.

However, Si Ming is no ordinary martial artist. He has mastered the skills of various schools of martial arts by using his talent for sudden enlightenment, and refined them into a single masterpiece. His skill level has already reached the pinnacle. He can usually subdue his opponents with brute force and does not need to use his ultimate skills.

Only this unprecedentedly powerful enemy before him required him to exert all his strength and treat him with utmost seriousness.

"Martial arts techniques are the 'principles' that humanity has summarized with its boundless wisdom to climb the path to enlightenment. Don't underestimate human wisdom."

The Netherworld Insect Princess remained silent for a moment, then said, "I understand. Therefore, I will no longer hold back—"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black divine power soared into the sky, and even the Buddha light of the Heavenly Dragon World-Delivering Pagoda could not suppress it. Dark clouds covered the sun, plunging the earth back into darkness.

The aura emanating from the Netherworld Insect Princess had increased by another 30%, its unparalleled power once again sending chills down the spines of the people fighting the King of Monsters in the distance, filling them with unease.

"..."

Si Ming rubbed his numb cheeks and said, "Then, I'll have to use all my trump cards too."

With a wave of his hand, the Wheel-Turning King Sword appeared in his palm, and he thrust it into the ground. Instantly, golden lotuses surged, and ten thousand Buddhas rose up in a wall, as if a Buddhist kingdom had appeared on earth.

Amidst the endless radiance of Buddha's light, countless swastikas entered all the acupoints on Si Ming's body, transforming into Buddhas to protect his body from all harm.

Chapter 846 The Ultimate Truth Shakes the Dao

"In this age of decline and decay, to have someone cultivate the Tathagata's Indestructible Body —you are truly extraordinary."

When the Netherworld Insect Princess saw the unusual phenomenon on Si Ming's body, her expressionless face showed a slight hesitation before she praised him.

"Oh, now you know I'm not an ordinary person. Surrender and you'll lose half the battle. How about you consider it?"

As Si Ming spoke, he handed the Wheel-Turning King Sword to Hongdou.

The memory of battling the Beast King Anye Tathagata Indestructible Body, the opponent instead destroyed the Buddha Formation, forcing the Tathagata Indestructible Body to dissipate. With this lesson learned, Si Ming naturally had to take precautions. One lesson was enough.

Hongdou's method of protecting the Wheel-Turning King Sword is very simple: she adds dimensional rifts to herself layer by layer. She holds the sword with both hands, and the space around her appears to be twisted in an orderly manner, similar to the shape of a mille-feuille cake, and it is constantly accumulating.

If the quality isn't good enough, quantity will make up for it. Besides, the core of this battle isn't Hongdou; she just needs to block the remaining force.

In response to Si Ming's teasing, Netherworld Insect Princess did not respond verbally. She clasped her hands together in front of her chest, condensing the Qi of Decline into a ball of energy, which she then launched forward. She followed up with a series of powerful punches, her arms flying out like dragons emerging from the sea, each punch a terrifying display of divine skill, enough to kill Spirit Transformation Grandmaster with a single blow.

Si Ming put away his playful expression. The opponent's skill had reached a level he could not predict. Even with the Tathagata Indestructible Body, his expression was more solemn than ever before. He activated his divine soul and released his spiritual consciousness. His aura gradually became ethereal, and his own existence merged with this world. He reflected all the changes in the Primal Qi in the space in his mind, as clearly as if he were observing the lines on his palm.

He pointed with his fingers, precisely piercing the strongest point of the energy blast. Immediately, he unleashed a burst of Sword Qi, and like a house whose main pillar had been removed, the decaying energy blast collapsed and disintegrated, its remaining force scattering in all directions.

The Netherworld Insect Princess followed closely behind, launching simple attacks without any set moves or routines. Her attacks were purely powerful, fast, and heavy, with her strength perfectly rounded, her speed as swift as lightning, and her divine power as vast as the sea. When these three elements were combined, Void Returning Great Grandmaster Refining stage could only avoid her attacks and had no way to defend against them.

Seeing that he was about to be swallowed up by the violent force of the punch, Si Ming still did not retreat. His aura became even more ethereal and illusory. His whole person seemed to disappear from the world and completely blend into the environment, with only the yin and yang energies appearing on his body.

When the force of the punch came, his body was like a blade of grass hit by a rainstorm, bending backward. At the same time, the yin and yang energies on his body circulated, and the force was easily dissipated without any resistance.

As the force of the subsequent punches continued, he swayed left and right, leaning forward and backward, like a small boat on a raging sea, rising and falling with the waves, yet somehow refusing to sink.

The Netherworld Insect Princess felt all her strength fall into empty air, feeling powerless. Her opponent seemed not to exist in this world, causing all her punches to miss. However, her control over her strength was already at its peak, so she did not experience the discomfort of missing her target.

At this moment Si Ming did not use the method of borrowing force to deflect force, but rather anticipated the direction of his opponent's punch in advance. Before making contact, he leaned back and appeared to be touching, but in reality, he was still a little bit off, a distance so subtle that it was difficult to see with the naked eye, and he passed through the gap in the force.
