--The light and flames coalesced, resembling a great blue sun stretching across the sky.
He Ping activated his " Azure Yang Undying Body," donned the glazed armor, and then transformed, his body erupting in a vast flame.
He had just suffered a considerable loss, because the young man's mastery of the Six Harmonies Spear was extremely high. With a tremor of the silver spearhead, hundreds of spear shadows stabbed in succession, like a sudden storm. They appeared to be a chaotic gust of wind, but it seemed that these thousands of spears and hundreds of shadows were connected as one strike, repeating endlessly with a consistent offensive. "A thousand spears are like one spear, and one spear is like a thousand spears." The spear technique truly possessed the power to encompass the six directions into a single mustard seed.
As a result, when he was hit, his body exploded into countless fragments on the spot.
It's a pity that the young man ultimately failed to reach the Dao realm. Even if his Six Harmonies Spear were ten times stronger, he still couldn't kill He Ping, who possessed the " Azure Yang Undying Body," with spear techniques.
However, the young man's " Six Questions of Heaven and Earth " was also incredibly powerful. Moreover, as the spearhead struck repeatedly, the destructive force turned He Ping into dust, and his consciousness became chaotic.
At the instant his physical body shattered, an unusually strange feeling gradually welled up in his heart, He Ping had a sudden realization.
This enlightenment is rooted deep within the heart, the very foundation of consciousness, but it is obscured by the myriad sensory perceptions of this world... In the blink of an eye, in this instant, all illusions are washed away, finally revealing a glimpse of its true nature.
"There is something undifferentiated and complete, which existed before heaven and earth. Silent and still, it stands alone and unchanging, ever-present and inexhaustible. It can be regarded as the mother of all things..."
He Ping felt that a certain connection between himself and the world had disappeared, and in its place, his consciousness was dragged into an indescribable space-time, a dark void, silent and empty, where his consciousness paused for a moment, or perhaps for thousands of years.
"This is the connection between Celestial Person and Man. I have broken through the illusions in my heart and connected with the Heavenly Dao, which is like the mother of all things. Is this the so-called realm of ' Celestial Person and Man are one, and need not speak of harmony'?"
He Ping snapped out of his daze. Because his physical body had disappeared, his briefly scattered consciousness reassembled. In the instant his physical body was reassembled, he realized that he had obtained an immense fortuitous opportunity. He also had to thank the young man for using the " Six Questions of Heaven and Earth " from the Six Harmonies Spear to shatter him.
This forced his consciousness to connect with the Heavenly Dao Mother, and to sense the profound truth of the unity of Celestial Person. Of course, this does not mean that he could enter the Dao through the Three Yang Calamity, but rather that he gained an understanding of the connection between Celestial Person.
Such an understanding is not surprising for those who are close to entering the Dao. As long as their cultivation reaches a certain level, they will be able to gain some insights. However, for someone like He Ping, who has never truly cultivated the Three Yang Calamity and relies entirely on the internal Cinnabar Essence Fire Talisman to evolve the tribulation power, it is truly an incredible thing.
"So that's how it is! Relying on the 'interaction between Celestial Person and Man,' the Three Yang Calamity can accomplish such a thing!"
As streaks of fire soared into the air, amidst the vibrant blue flames behind him, the figures of several victims who had perished under the power of the Three Yang Calamity appeared one after another— Granny Miaohua, Old Kiln Ghost, Crimson Refining Snake Lord, and several others.
Buzz!
The people in the firelight stood with their mouths agape, as if emitting sharp, mournful cries; their limbs were withered and twisted, and they waved their hands.
These twisted, charred corpses seemed to be evil spirits that had crawled out of the Copper Pillar Volcano in the Netherworld. With no way out of hell, they desperately stretched out their arms, their fingers futilely scratching forward.
The young man holding the silver spear stared at the scene in shock. When he noticed the change in He Ping, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine and goosebumps all over his body.
The young man had long heard that the Daoist methods of the Chongyang Palace lineage were strange and unpredictable, but now it seemed that he had clearly underestimated the Chongyang Palace's heritage.
"Go!"
A fierce glint appeared in He Ping's eyes, and he sneered. The next second, the ferocious figure behind him transformed into streaks of fire and pounced towards the young man.
This was a subtle application of the Three Yang Calamity that he gained after comprehending the state of " Celestial Person and Man are not two, there is no need to talk about harmony".
It turns out that after cultivating the Three Yang Calamity Power, those killed by him using this righteous method of entering the Dao would be transformed into a ball of spirit by the flames. This ball of spirit was the vision of the deceased in life and was enslaved by the user of the Three Yang Calamity Power.
They will manifest themselves in their former state, like demons from the scorching world of hell. After awakening, the pain of being burned alive will constantly remind them, causing them to vent their resentment on every living person.
To the young man, streaks of crimson fire shot towards him, each a ball of flame containing a charred, twisted, and grotesque corpse.
"Get out of here!"
The young man stepped into the void, and amidst the slight crackling sounds, his seemingly slender figure suddenly became incredibly solid, his muscles and tendons bulging, revealing an appearance of immense strength.
He thrust his spear forward, as if wielding a sword, and the silver spear trembled violently. In an instant, it drew hundreds and thousands of arcs in the air before him, each pale silver arc shrinking in size, swirling like lightning.
In the instant that he unleashed hundreds of spear shadows, the spears suddenly vanished from his hands, and he himself transformed into a streak of silver light, leaving only the hundreds of arc-shaped spear points piercing through the air.
Several streaks of fire shot down from the sky. Those who had been turned into ghosts in the fire by the power of the Three Yang Calamity had ferocious faces, their eyes burned into two hollow holes, with only two charred balls of coal rolling inside. Their mouths, however, were split open, emitting strange, chattering laughter. One after another, they transformed into raging flames and rushed down.
These people were killed by the calamity before they died. After death, they became like vengeful ghosts, trying to drag the living down with them. They are not physical entities, but just a ball of fire that can fly freely without any control. They will pounce on anyone they encounter. If someone is hit by this ball of fire, their bones will be pierced and they will be burned to death on the spot.
After death, they will naturally become their kind, and if this endless development continues, they will grow to a terrifying extent.
With a loud bang, the young man fearlessly drew his gun, hundreds of arcs of light flashing like lightning, swirling in all directions as he fiercely thrust it out.
Ghostly shadows Jiujiu and fell in large swaths amidst the firelight. The two sides collided violently, raging crimson flames churning and arcs of lightning flashing. Their auras locked onto each other, and time seemed to slow down for a moment, then suddenly shift in the stillness, causing the surrounding scenery to freeze in an instant. Despite the extreme speed, the trajectories were clearly visible and distinct.
The young man's pores reflected the approaching flames, the sparks from those ghostly flames only millimeters away from his eyes. He thrust his spear upwards, and the entire space seemed to freeze for a moment. His senses only paused slightly before returning to reality.
Sizzle! The silver spear pointed out black dots, locked in a stalemate with the fire figures transformed from Granny Miaohua, Old Kiln Ghost, and Crimson Refining Snake Lord in mid-air. The spear's light pierced the flames, sparks and shockwaves flew everywhere, and the ear-piercing sound echoed through the void.
In the blink of an eye, a series of loud bangs rang out, like the crisp crackling of firecrackers. The several ghostly figures formed from flames screamed as they were ignited by the spear tips.
The young man retreated sharply, his silver spear bending like a long bamboo pole. With a single flick, his tiger's mouth almost exploded. This silver spear was forged from refined cold black iron combined with the five metal elements, quenched with the blood of a dragon beast, and reinforced with one hundred and eight secret talismans, yet it was almost broken in this one round, which made him realize how powerful it was.
But as he stepped back, the ignited flames reignited, and several charred skeletons could be vaguely seen in the raging fire. A layer of charred skin grew on the skeletons, and they rose into the air, transforming into fire dragons that swirled in the sky.
"This is the terrifying aspect of the Three Yang Calamity Power. Those who are devoured by the calamity power will become its servants after death. If I am strong enough, I can even continue to evolve the calamity power into the Crimson Yang Tribulation, causing these Flame-Bodied Evil Ghost to unleash the methods they used in their previous lives!"
He Ping gave a cold, sinister laugh. His five fingers were like hooks, and a giant hand of fire cloud rose into the air, transforming into five lines of fire that flew out to grab.
"Their reputation is well-deserved... Those who come from the Chongyang Palace are indeed extraordinary!"
The young man sighed inwardly, knowing he had encountered a truly formidable enemy this time; the power of the Three Yang Calamity was extremely strange.
However, the remains of a master cultivator are extremely precious, and one has no choice in the matter!
He closed his eyes tightly, pressed his finger to his brow, where there was a rune mark, an ancient immortal script.
A stream of Blood Qi was injected into it, and the rune emitted a vermilion-red light.
boom!
The young man's Qi and Blood surged and surged, creating a sound like surging waves that coursed through his entire body.
Along with the power of the runes, the dormant "thing" within him was awakened. The next second, jet-black bone armor grew out, covering his neck, shoulders, chest, back, abdomen...
With a series of crackling sounds, sharp bone spikes began to grow. The slender bone spikes were extremely sharp, making the entire bone armor look even more ferocious.
Next, the young man exerted his strength slightly, and as if his contracted and folded bones were violently deformed, his hands and feet cracked a few times, and bone-colored substances resembling exoskeletons appeared.
He was completely encased in this bizarre armor, even the helmet on his head had a pair of bone-spur-like horns, making him look like a demon, exuding a fierce and violent aura. Just looking at him would instill fear and restlessness in people's hearts.
" The Ghost Dragon Swallows Form, and all the demons are transformed!"
In an instant, the young man suddenly opened his eyes, his whole body seemingly bursting with killing intent. In the next second, his entire body slowly became transparent and blurred. Under the influence of a strange power, his body became like a ghost, existing between illusion and reality, as if he had become a phantom.
In a flash, his figure vanished into thin air, and the fiery cloud hand and the Flame-Bodied Evil Ghost missed their target.
The instant he disappeared, a silver spear shot out from the void, aiming for the back of He Ping's head.
