Great Luo Earth Sha Dharma Form? Your Mountain Doesn't Weigh as Much as My Body!
Rumble!
The rock strata on the northwest side of Xuanhuang Ridge were finally pushed upward by a terrifying force, and large swathes of rocks rolled to both sides. A huge mountain shadow formed by dark red rock armor and Earth Sha Principle was slowly emerging from the ground.
The Mountain-Devouring Zheng was completely enraged. It had originally planned to use Earth Escape to bypass the Qilin Clan's Vein-Guarding Restraining Patterns, but it was blocked by Lu Yuan's massive body several times in a row. Even the rock platforms that were easiest to float up became extremely heavy. Naturally, it was no longer willing to continue circling underground.
"Get out of my way!" Mountain-Devouring Zheng roared in a low voice. The Earth Sha that were originally scattered around quickly converged on the Dharma Form. The rocks were continuously compressed and solidified, and in the blink of an eye, a huge mountain phantom tens of thousands of miles high was formed.
The Dharma Form had two horns on its head and four limbs like pillars supporting the sky. Dark red patterns flowed continuously on its surface, and the originally stable rock strata nearby began to tremble under its pressure, as if the entire northwest side of Xuanhuang Ridge had been lifted up by an ancient mountain god.
The young Qilins in the distance immediately changed their expressions. The Blue-Horned Qilin even forgot to maintain the outer Restraining Patterns and looked up at the ever-growing mountain shadow, its fear barely concealed.
"Is that the Great Luo Dharma Form of the Mountain-Devouring Zheng?" the Blue-Horned Qilin couldn't help but exclaim. "How did this guy manage to pull so many rocks over here? If this continues, how will the surrounding branch veins be protected?!"
The Red-Maned Qilin also looked grim. It could sense the intense earth elemental fluctuations emanating from the Dharma Form. The Restraining Patterns that had been guarding the rocky valley were beginning to show signs of pressure. If the opponent continued to manipulate the earth's energy, the Qilin Clan would likely have to expend a great deal of effort to stabilize the surrounding mountains and rivers again.
Qi Yan immediately raised its front hooves, and large patches of yellowish-brown Restraining Patterns lit up along the rock strata. Several tributaries of earth energy that were originally converging towards the Mountain-Devouring Zheng Dharma Form were quickly brought under control, and the part that truly connected to the core of Xuanhuang Ridge also began to close off little by little.
"Don't let it continue to draw power from the main vein!" Qi Yan transmitted his voice to Qi Yue, his expression more serious than ever before. "This guy can accumulate Earth Sha underground, so let's cut off the portion it draws from Xuanhuang Ridge first, and let it sustain itself with the rest!"
Qi Yue immediately nodded and quickly headed along the other side of the rock vein. He was originally responsible for familiarizing himself with the surrounding terrain, so he naturally knew which branches could be temporarily sealed off and which rock strata needed to be kept flowing normally.
Lu Yuan quietly gazed at the ever-growing mountain Dharma Form, a serious look gradually appearing in his golden eyes. He quickly discovered that the power of the Mountain-Devouring Zheng was indeed significantly different from that of the Shen Ni and the Ancestral Dragon. The entire Dharma Form was maintaining its form by relying on the nearby rocks and Earth Sha.
The ever-gathering Earth Sha energy was also attractive to him, but the core of its Principle was extremely condensed, and it was unrealistic to swallow it all at once. What he could truly absorb smoothly were mainly the peripheral energies that had not yet been completely integrated into his Dharma Form.
"Your mountain is indeed quite large, but compared to mine..." Lu Yuan muttered to himself, then slowly opened his giant mouth, letting a controlled suction force fall on the Earth Sha that were constantly gathering around the Dharma Form.
Call--!
The large mass of dark red air currents that was originally converging towards the giant mountain shadow suddenly shifted significantly, with some of it even being pulled directly out of the surface of the Dharma Form and slowly flowing into Lu Yuan's mouth along the air.
Mountain-Devouring Zheng, who was still channeling his magic Law Power, noticed the sudden decrease in the surrounding Earth Sha and his eyes flashed with shock and anger. "You dare to devour my power?"
Lu Yuan first slowly transformed the portion of Earth Sha that had already entered his stomach. He discovered that although this power was mixed with a strong aura of ferocity, the part that could actually be absorbed was still earth-based energy. He then continued to control the absorption range.
Qi Yue's eyes lit up instantly when he saw this. He had been worried that the Mountain-Devouring Zheng's Dharma Form would grow bigger and bigger as it continued to absorb earth spirit, but now that Lu Yuan had directly drawn away a large amount of Earth Sha from the outside, the growth rate of the Dharma Form immediately slowed down.
"Qi Yan, quickly seal off those branch veins in the northwest as well!" Qi Yue immediately transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoist Lu Yuan is weakening its source of Earth Sha. Let's take this opportunity to protect the core earth energy and prevent it from gaining any more advantage!"
Qi Yan could see it clearly. He immediately mobilized more Vein-Guarding Restraining Patterns, and the several earth spirit branches that were still flowing outward began to gradually converge. Although the nearby mountains trembled slightly as a result, the true core rock layer remained stable.
The Mountain-Devouring Zheng finally realized that the situation was getting out of control. It had originally planned to use the thick earth energy of Xuanhuang Ridge to support its Dharma Form to a higher level, but now that the Qilin Clan was sealing off the main vein and Lu Yuan was constantly drawing away the Earth Sha, the power that was accumulating more and more began to slowly decrease.
It immediately restrained some of its Principle, making the Earth Sha within the mountain Dharma Form more condensed in an attempt to reduce the loss of external energy. However, as a result, the total amount of energy that the Dharma Form could borrow also decreased, and the oppressive force that originally covered a large area of mountains and rivers finally stopped increasing.
This was the opportunity Lu Yuan had been waiting for.
He slowly raised a huge fin, and his bones, nourished by the Xuanhuang Deposited Sand, began to circulate. His already powerful Qi and Blood quickly gathered in the fin, and the gray-gold patterns on the surface of the dark gold scales lit up.
Mountain-Devouring Zheng sensed the pressure above his head and finally looked up. His entire body froze as he saw an endless expanse of dark golden fins slowly pressing down from the Sea of Clouds. The area covered by the fins even exceeded the area of Dharma Form he had painstakingly condensed.
"With such a large body, can it really just crush an entire mountain?" Mountain-Devouring Zheng's heart sank suddenly. He then forcibly circulated his Great Luo Law Power, causing the Mountain Dharma Form to raise its arms, preparing to take the blow head-on.
The Qilin watching from afar also held their breath. One young Qilin even subconsciously raised its front hoof to block its view, but then couldn't help but peek over its hoof, wondering if the Great Luo Dharma Form could actually block the giant whale's fin.
Following the location previously indicated by Qi Yue, Lu Yuan positioned the giant fins to face the revealed mountain Dharma Form head-on, always avoiding the core earth veins below when attacking.
The two sides finally collided.
Boom--!
A deafening roar, so heavy it defied description, resounded throughout Xuanhuang Ridge. The mountain Dharma Form, which had already raised its arms, fiercely pressed down on the dark gold giant fins. The surrounding space visibly distorted, and large swaths of Earth Sha exploded in all directions.
At first, the Mountain-Devouring Zheng Crimson barely managed to withstand the pressure, Dharma Form the dark red patterns on its arms lit up one after another, causing the nearby rock strata to tremble. However, as Lu Yuan continued to slowly increase the force, the entire giant mountain shadow began to sink little by little.
"Stop right now!" Mountain-Devouring Zheng roared angrily, his Great Luo Law Power surging wildly within him. His originally hard Dharma Form's arms began to bend uncontrollably, and the dark golden giant fins above his head continued to press closer.
The young Qilin stared in disbelief. The Blue-Horned Qilin, its voice trembling as it watched the mountain-like Dharma Form gradually sink, exclaimed, "Elder, that's Great Luo Dharma Form! How could it be suppressed by just one of its fins?"
The Red-Maned Qilin was initially worried that the Dharma Form would injure Lu Yuan's giant fins, but now, seeing the massive rocky arm bending and even its mouth slowly opening, it finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "The Mountain-Devouring Zheng is best at using the power of mountains and rivers, but this time even the mountain is about to collapse?"
Qi Yan kept his Divine Sense on the earth veins below, and only after confirming that several important tributaries nearby were still flowing normally did he truly breathe a sigh of relief. Although Lu Yuan's attack was terrifying, the attack location was chosen very accurately, and even he, as the Pulse-Guarding Elder, couldn't help but admire him.
Qi Yue also stared intently at the battlefield, a clear look of surprise appearing in his eyes. Lu Yuan's physical strength was indeed more terrifying than he had previously estimated, and the entire collision was concentrated between the Dharma Form and the giant fins, with the nearby true core of the earth veins not being severely impacted for the time being.
Lu Yuan felt the resistance from the giant fins and slowly increased his strength. His bones, nourished by the Wu Earth, finally showed their formidable resilience once again. The originally condensed scales did not show any obvious damage. Instead, the mountain Dharma Form below began to emit continuous friction sounds.
Click!
The first fine crack slowly spread between the arms of the Dharma Form. The Mountain-Devouring Zheng's eyes changed instantly, and even its roaring voice stopped for a moment. Meanwhile, Lu Yuan concentrated more of his power near the Dharma Form's core, which was clearly beginning to loosen.
