The Dharma Body fused, and a pair of wings sprouted from the giant body's back. The river of blood gathered into a pool, surging violently with the Dharma Body's movements.
The thudding heartbeat resounded through heaven and earth. This Dharma Body already showed signs of surpassing its original body.
As though stirred by Xue Shuangbai's Heart of the Dharma Body, Shen Yi's Divine Demon Dharma Body also let out long howls. Light flickered in its eyes, and it unexpectedly developed a trace of divine consciousness.
The mountain-splitting axe transformed into a scepter and was raised high into the air, radiating waves of dazzling white light. Bathed in that radiance, the black wings behind Xue Shuangbai's Dharma Body gradually turned frost-white, shedding a holy glow.
"Is that... an angel?"
Watching the scene before him, Shen Yi was somewhat startled and involuntarily thought of the angels from legends in another world.
Xue Shuangbai had likewise taken on a different appearance. With a sweep of his right hand, a dazzling ray over a dozen zhang long appeared before his arm and savagely cleaved toward Shen Yi.
To his surprise, Shen Yi did not dodge. Instead, he raised his left hand. An ancient, desolate aura emerged, and the Taiji Diagram appeared before his palm, meeting the invincible holy light he had unleashed.
"Useless!"
Xue Shuangbai revealed a disdainful expression. The voice from his Dharma Body carried for a thousand li, shaking heaven and earth. Yet his expression soon froze—the brilliant divine light had actually been blocked by the Taiji Diagram.
"How is that possible?!"
His face was full of disbelief. He shot into the sky and activated the divine light once more, its brilliance illuminating even the heavens. His Dharma Body was likewise bathed in light, while the scepter released beams of terrifying radiance.
