Chapter 136: Blood Devouring Dao Domain
Third watch, tomorrow is Monday again, next week still updates 10,000 words okay? Finally, a call to collect! Thank you first!
——
Seeing Chen Xiao's shocked expression, Luo Xiu suddenly shook his blood-red crane cloak, his body floating in mid-air, and burst out laughing loudly, his voice cold and sharp: "Since we've started fighting, I'll let you see my true power!"
When he spoke, his body's blood light surged again, overflowing like a river, bloody like a tide, instantly covering an area of hundreds of meters around him.
In an instant, Chen Xiao's vision suddenly changed, the sky and earth turned blood-red, and under his feet was a surging tide of bloody floodwaters.
"Chen Tai, be careful! This guy's martial arts cultivation has already reached the realm of Dao intent and Dao domain. The blood-colored world before us is the manifestation of his comprehended Dao domain!" Suddenly, Ling Bai issued a urgent warning, her voice extremely anxious.
Territory!
Chen Xuan's heart suddenly shook, and he understood what was going on.
The cultivation of the Tao is generally divided into four major realms: foundation, subtlety, unity of heaven and man, and intention. However, above these, there are even higher realms, that is, the realm of the Tao.
The meaning of the Tao is the connotation of the Tao, the true meaning of the Tao. As one's understanding of the Tao deepens, the threads of the Tao's meaning that are grasped become more and more numerous, more and more profound, until they reach an extreme point, where a vast amount of the Tao's meaning converges and merges, and with one move, enlightenment is achieved, leading to a qualitative transformation, forming one's own domain of the Tao's meaning.
This boundary is called the Tao domain, also known as the boundary of the Tao knot.
Upon reaching this realm, a cultivator can create their own domain boundary with just a wave of their hand, cutting out a territory that belongs to them within the heavens and earth. Within their own domain, they have absolute superiority over their enemies!
Just like Chen Xiao's understanding of a complete Wind Dao, continue to accumulate insights, and one day you will also transform into your own Dao Domain - the Wind Dao Domain.
"Territory!"
Outside the trial tower, a sudden sound of inhaling cool air rang out, and everyone was shocked to look at Luo Xiu, who stood like a blood-colored demon god in the bloody sky, with faces full of disbelieving expressions.
The realm of the Tao domain, that is the realm pursued by the two instruments of gold and silver after merging yin and yang. Even some practitioners who have reached the state of nirvana may not necessarily control their own Tao domain.
To reach the realm of Tao, one must not only diligently cultivate and practice, but also possess extremely high wisdom and a unique understanding of the Heavenly Way. One must search for their own path among all things in heaven and earth, and also require an encounter with sudden enlightenment that is sought but cannot be found, just like the Buddhist "sudden awakening" or "anointing with holy water". Without this sudden enlightenment, without prior exploration, searching, polishing, and inspiration... it is fundamentally impossible to reach this realm.
For cultivators, it is really too difficult to reach the realm of Dao Domain. The vast majority of cultivators have no chance to attain the realm of Dao Domain in their lifetime, and they will regret it for the rest of their lives.
Now, Luo Xiu of Zifu Jiuchong Realm has actually comprehended the Dao Domain. How can this not shock people to their core?
"Originally... originally Xiūér's realm has reached this level!" Xīng Hóng Gǔ's sect master, Hè Lián Shuǐ, was also left speechless, muttering to himself in his heart.
In the central jade platform, the sect master of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect, Ling Kongzi, furrowed his brow as he gazed at Chen Tai, who was trapped in a sea of blood that filled the sky and earth. A hint of inexplicable worry floated onto his pale, jade-like face.
——
Blood waves surged, blood filled the sky. Luo Xiu's feet were on a ten-zhang-range blood-colored lotus flower in the sea of blood, wearing a blood-red crane cloak, paired with his dark blue and eerie pupils, just like the legendary Blood Hell Demon God, with an astonishing aura.
"Chen Xiao, how is this Blood Burden Domain of mine? I heard you've already grasped the Dao intent, but unfortunately, it's still a bit inferior to mine, hahaha!"
Lu Xiu burst out laughing, then immediately composed himself and said in a gloomy tone: "Do you know why I'm chasing you? Because on your body, I smell a unique aura that belongs to the Six Paths Reincarnation Netherworld Refining Hell. As long as I get it, my Blood Devouring Yin Spirit Skill will be able to reach great completion. At that time, I'll be able to display the complete Blood Devouring Domain, and killing two Instrument Golden Elixir Cultivators would be effortless."
The Six Paths of Reincarnation? The Netherworld's Refining Hell?
Chen Zhuo suddenly remembered that in his storage ring, there was a Yōu Míng Lù and a Yōu Míng Biǎo. These two mysterious treasures were obtained from Su Leng's body, and he had always been unaware of their use, extremely mysterious.
Moreover, Ling Bai had previously speculated that these two treasures might have come from the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the underworld. At that time, Chen Xiao thought it was too absurd and didn't take it to heart. Now, hearing Luo Xiu's words, his mind stirred, and he roughly determined that perhaps these two treasures were indeed related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation after all.
"How's it going? Remember anything?" Luo Xiu asked languidly, with a mischievous look on his face.
"What you said is this?" Chen Yao reached out and took out the Nether Record. As soon as it appeared, a vast and majestic aura burst forth, and in the surrounding sea of blood, countless vengeful spirits and ghosts suddenly surged out, their faces twisted with cruelty and evil, shrieking in unison as they tried to grab at the Nether Record. However, they were firmly controlled by the sea of blood, and no matter how much they wailed and screeched, they could not get close to Chen Yao.
"Right! Right! It's this, the aura I sensed is coming from it! What a pure and true Netherworld power! If I can absorb its power, why would I worry about suppressing these Blood Sea vengeful spirits? Chen Suo, hand it over to me, and I'll let you leave. Otherwise, even if you crush the transmission jade symbol today, don't think you can escape my pursuit!" Luo Xiu's body shook, his dark blue eyes revealing endless greedy fervor, as if he wanted to swallow the Netherworld Record into his belly right now.
"Suppress the blood sea spirits? Could it be that the power emanating from this book is actually capable of subduing evil spirits?" Chen's mind was racing with thoughts, but his face remained expressionless as he said, "I have another item, do you want to take a look at it too?"
Lu Xiu's eyes were fixed on the Netherworld Record, and he replied casually, "Is it also related to the power of the Netherworld?"
Chen Xiao smiled slightly, and in his heart, a black brush appeared in the palm of his hand. The brush was like iron but not iron, like jade but not jade, its entire body a pure and extreme black color.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!......"
As soon as the demonic pen appeared, Chen Suo's mind was filled with countless killing words and countless icy cold shouts, the murderous aura soared into the sky, as if to judge the world and slay all evil spirits.
"Huh?"
Chen Xuan only felt that the brush in his hand was surging with an extremely strong desire, this desire was so intense, just like a brave general who yearned to go into battle begging the emperor for permission to do so.
"What is this treasure? It actually makes me feel...feel..." Luo Xiu was dazed, but a sense of extreme danger surged up in his mind.
He had never felt this way since his debut, with heart palpitations, panic, fear, and unease intertwined, striking him with a wave of tremors, as if the god of death was hovering above his head.
"This is terrible! This thing seems to be born to restrain me!" Luo Xiu looked like he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, and was so frightened that he let out a sharp cry. He turned around and ran away with all his might, his true yuan swirling around him. The way he moved was as if he wished he had two more legs to run faster, which showed just how terrified Luo Xiu was at this moment.
But it's too late!
Pfft, pfft...
Chen Xiao's palm relaxed, and the evil-eradicating brush suddenly rose into the air, emitting a clear and melodious sound. With a light stroke, countless black rays of light descended like silk threads, cutting through the entire Blood Sea Heaven as if it had turned into a thin sheet of paper being sliced by a sharp paper cutter, instantly shredding it into countless fragments.
Like a hot knife through butter, withering and crumbling, the bloody domain was actually an unstoppable stroke of a brush that lightly sketched out evil!
"What is this thing?! What is it?!"
In the distance, Luo Xiu's fleeing body suddenly stopped, and he clearly saw that those fine black lights, like taut steel wires, fell on his protective treasure, cutting it into countless fragments, falling on his true yuan, cutting it into countless fragments...
Bang!
Seeing the dark light about to cut through his body, Luo Xiu could no longer bear the terror of death in his heart, and he burst the transmission jade symbol. Just as he was about to let out a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw that his own body had turned into thousands of bloody fragments, falling to the ground with a rustling sound...
"What in the world...". This was Roxas's final thought before he died.
Buzz!
Luoxiu's death left Chen Tai stunned, but before he could react, the Youming Record in his left hand suddenly released a vast and terrifying suction force, drawing in all the Blood Sea fragments within a hundred feet.
Drip...
The demon-slaying brush danced in mid-air, chanting a clear melody, as if it was about to fly away. Chen Tang hastily reached out and grabbed it, tightly grasping the brush that seemed like a spiritual connection, not letting go.
At this moment, Chen Yao's right hand held a brush that punished evil, and his left hand held a record of the underworld, just like the legendary judge of the underworld.
However, he couldn't think of anything else at this time, because the Yōmeiroku and the Shūja Brush in his hand were getting restless again, like a pair of untamed wild beasts, struggling to break free from his grasp.
"Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have let you out!" Chen Yao gritted his teeth, exerting all his strength to suppress the book with a powerful true yuan.
It wasn't until much later that the Ghostly Records and the Demon-slaying Brush finally stopped resisting, returning to silence. Only then did Chen Xuan thoroughly breathe a sigh of relief, his entire body drenched in sweat.
"Luó Xiū was actually killed by the Exterminating Brush with just a light stroke, clearly because of the bloody aura on his body, which attracted the killing intent of the Exterminating Brush..."
Chen Xiao thought about the scene just now, and couldn't help but feel a sense of bewilderment. He also vaguely understood the purpose of Youminglu and Zhuxiebi.
However, he had already decided that before thoroughly mastering these two treasures, he would not easily take them out and use them at will. He was unwilling to be unable to suppress their power and watch as they flew away from his hands.
"Huh? I could have sworn I sensed a strong surge of energy fluctuations here just now..."
"Big brother, I've noticed it too."
"Hurry up everyone, the battle must have already decided the winner. Maybe we can catch some heavily injured monks and gain something from it!"
……
In the distance of the forest, a noisy sound faintly echoed.
"It seems that Luo Xiu's commotion has already caught the attention of nearby cultivators." Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he dared not think more, identified the direction, and used the Divine Wind Feather Escape Technique. His figure was like a swift wind, instantly disappearing into the dense forest.
