After speaking, Ji Xuan reached out and made a gesture.
Boom!
All the demonic energy in the surroundings was swept away.
In midair, a few giant black trees appeared.
They were lush and thick with fruit.
But upon closer inspection—
The trunks were twisted and bizarre.
The leaves were sheets of human skin, demon skin, flood dragon skin.
The fruit turned out to be one terrifying head after another—human heads, demon heads, flood dragon heads.
They wailed in agony at the treetops,
Like a mind-piercing demonic sound, making it impossible to concentrate.
It felt as if countless hands were reaching out from the sea, trying to drag their will into a pitch-black, icy abyss.
Ao Qin clenched his teeth, resisting the invasion of the wailing against his mind.
He looked up at the dharma manifestation above Ji Xuan's head and frowned deeply.
"I remember now! That's Ji Xuan's dharma manifestation, called the Creation Sacred Tree."
"The leaves are the Evergreen Leaf dharma manifestation, the fruit is the Millennium Grain dharma manifestation, and the trunk is the Cangwu Wood dharma manifestation. Both the fruit and trunk can be used as means of attack."
"The Creation Sacred Tree dharma manifestation is formed by merging those three dharma manifestations into one!"
"But in the past, the Creation Sacred Tree was magnificent and radiant—how has it become so sinister and terrifying now?"
Ao Qin couldn't believe it.
Tang Jinglong braced himself against the wailing, speaking in a low voice, "It's probably been tainted by demonic energy, and even the dharma manifestation was transformed by him."
Ao Qin was startled. "How is that possible? How could a dharma manifestation be transformed?"
Bai Liejiu spoke in a low tone, "I don't know much about Ji Xuan, but I know his comprehension is terrifying. With that kind of talent, he could likely accomplish something like this."
Ao Qin fell silent.
That was true.
Ji Xuan's comprehension was unparalleled, never seen before or since.
With Ji Xuan's ability, reshaping his dharma manifestation and making it even stronger was no real challenge.
"Let's hope Shen Mo… can withstand it!" Shi Tian and Lang Ben came closer, clenching their teeth as well.
"Go."
Ji Xuan glanced at Shen Mo and casually waved his hand.
Suddenly, wild winds arose, sending the leaves rustling violently.
A single leaf suddenly drifted down.
In an instant, swathes of leaves began to fall.
But none of them hit the ground.
As if alive, they flew straight at Shen Mo.
Halfway there,
The leaves instantly transformed
Into gray butterflies with gnashing mouths, hungry for blood,
About to devour Shen Mo completely.
These gray butterflies descended from above, enveloping Shen Mo's whole body, leaving him no way to escape.
Staring at these little things, Shen Mo's expression didn't change.
His entire body erupted with blood energy.
The Yuanxiang dharma manifestation appeared.
Its trunk curled downward, roaring toward the stars.
A shadow of a giant blood-colored figure followed right after,
Like a towering titan standing between heaven and earth.
No matter which way the wind blew, he remained unshakable.
This was exactly what was gained after cultivating the seventh level of Divine Elephant Suppression Prison Strength—the True Blood Saint King's Body!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Thousands upon thousands of gray butterflies crashed down.
They smashed against the True Blood Saint King's Body
Like moths throwing themselves into the fire,
Exploding into clouds of gray mist.
The blood-colored light covering the True Blood Saint King's Body only dimmed slightly,
But was hardly damaged by Ji Xuan's attack.
Ji Xuan raised his brows slightly. "Such a powerful blood-qi defensive technique. Not bad."
With that, he raised his hand again. "Go."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
All those plump fruits hanging from the branches started to tremble.
Then, suddenly, they shot forth!
In an instant, countless savage faces filled the space in front of Shen Mo.
Each head was filled with resentment and hatred from their dying moments.
Driven by Ji Xuan, all they wanted now was to bite chunks of flesh from Shen Mo's body!
Shen Mo remained motionless, but his spiritual power surged forth.
A surging river appeared above him.
It was the Undying River dharma manifestation!
With both the Undying River and Yuanxiang dharma manifestations empowering him,
The defensive power of the True Blood Saint King's Body soared once more
