Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 1987 Dharma Appearance

Chapter 1988

Xuan Yin couldn't believe it: he had never met anyone like Dao Kui before, whose cultivation level was so different from his true strength!
Despite only being at the seventh level of the Mahayana realm, two whole levels below him in cultivation, his strength was already comparable to that of a late-stage Mahayana cultivator at the pinnacle of the Mahayana realm.

The bow in his hand was likely taken from the legendary Starry Divine Wood, and the arrow shaft was engraved with countless golden Dao runes that flowed and danced around the seven Starry Divine Stones.

Xuan Yin's greedy gaze shifted from the seven-pointed bow, then sharpened instantly as he looked at the rapidly approaching golden arrow.

Where the golden light passed, the purple-black lightning was instantly torn apart and annihilated. It cut through thorns and brambles, breaking through layers of lightning and fire, and came straight at us!

The disbelief on Xuan Yin's face gradually faded, replaced by an almost manic excitement.

His lips curled into a ferocious grin, and his sinister eyes shone with a terrifying light, surging with overwhelming fighting spirit and the undisguised greed of a wild beast eyeing its prey.

Excellent! That's wonderful! The stronger the Dao foundation and the more profound the laws, the greater the benefits it will bring after being devoured!

If one could devour this Daoist master, absorbing his Dao foundation and cultivation, perhaps one could immediately break through that shackle and escape the constraints of this world!

Thinking of this, Xuan Yin looked up at the sky and let out a wild laugh that shook the heavens. He suddenly formed a hand seal, and the surging purple-black thunderclouds and electric fire around him surged over like a tide, completely engulfing his figure.

Darkness and golden light clashed and intertwined wildly across the sky, and a terrifying pressure that shook heaven and earth slowly spread from the darkness. Accompanied by a deafening demonic roar, a colossal demonic form, so large it blotted out the sky, gradually appeared in mid-air!

The demonic figure was over a thousand feet tall, its head seemingly about to pierce the heavens. Fortunately, the space on the battle platform had been expanded countless times to accommodate it.

Its face was ferocious and terrifying, with nine twisted black demonic horns on its forehead, and a gaping maw filled with dense fangs. Dark red bloodstains clung to the corners of its mouth. Just one glance was enough to send shivers down one's spine.

Its body surface, like scorched black earth burned by eternal demonic fire, is covered with mottled, cracked lines. These lines crisscross like countless lurking venomous snakes, covering its entire body.

Beneath the cracked lines, what flowed was not blood at all, but clusters of leaping, eerie blue demonic fire.

What's most terrifying is the demon's eyes.

Those were eyes with no whites at all; deep within the pupils lay endless darkness, churning with the wails and resentments of countless devoured souls.

It hovered in mid-air, looking down at the masses below with its indifferent eyes, like an ancient demon god looking down at ants.

His mere glance sent chills down the spines of countless cultivators below the stage, their souls feeling as if they were being sucked in, causing them to tremble uncontrollably and not daring to even breathe.

Just then, the golden arrow of light shot towards the demonic figure, its unparalleled sharpness even carving a shallow crack on the demonic figure's charred face.

But the next moment, the demonic figure suddenly opened its blood-red maw, which was as big as a black hole!
There was no earth-shattering collision, no deafening explosion.

The golden arrow, powerful enough to kill a late-stage Mahayana cultivator, along with all the laws and power contained within it, was swallowed whole by the demonic figure like a drop of water flowing into the ocean, without even a ripple escaping its reach.

The world fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

The previously noisy discussions below the stage came to an abrupt halt, and everyone stared in disbelief at the scene on the battle platform, their faces filled with utter shock and disbelief.

The silence lasted for three full breaths before being broken by a gasp of shock.

"My God... that was an arrow that Dao Kui fired with all his might, and it was just... swallowed whole?"

"How is this possible?! It can actually directly devour a magical attack containing the laws of heaven? Even the top-tier body-refining techniques of the demonic path wouldn't dare to take such a direct hit!"

A murmur of discussion erupted from the crowd, with everyone whispering amongst themselves, their faces filled with doubt and shock.

No one could understand what kind of technique could so domineeringly devour the Daoist's golden arrow.

Just then, an old cultivator with white hair and beard in the crowd looked at the demonic image on the battle platform and suddenly gasped, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"So that's how it is... Xuan Yin cultivates the Great Devouring Technique! No wonder, no wonder!"

A single sentence, like a bucket of cold water poured into boiling oil, instantly creates a huge ripple effect.

"The Great Devouring Technique?! Could it be one of the Three Thousand Great Daos...?"

"It's that Great Devouring Technique that's said to be able to devour everything, whether it's magic, magical treasures, or laws, and ultimately transform them into one's own magical power and cultivation!"

"He can even swallow magic treasures? Does that mean he can swallow even immortal-level magic treasures in one gulp? Then... then can he also swallow people directly?!" A young cultivator next to him had barely finished speaking when the old man next to him covered his mouth.

The old man's face turned deathly pale. He gestured for him to be quiet and then reprimanded him in a low voice:
"Shh! You can't just say things like that. If that guy on stage hears you, do you think he'll swallow you whole?"

The young cultivator instantly realized what was happening, his face turning ashen, and he dared not utter another word.

On the battle platform, Liu Qinghuan looked at the demonic figure that had swallowed his golden arrow, and his eyes narrowed.
After a moment's thought, he raised the hand holding the seven-pointed bow again.

The next moment, he drew the seven-pointed bow to its full length again, and this time, three arrows of light condensed simultaneously on the bowstring.

The light arrow rapidly changed color, and in an instant, it transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot out!

But the demonic figure merely raised its eyes slightly and took a soft breath—

The three beams of light began to shake violently. Faced with this suction force, they were like three small fish that had accidentally entered the mouth of a giant whale, without any room for resistance, and were directly swallowed by the demonic form.

"Gurgle."

A clear swallowing sound came from the Demonic Image's throat. It even smacked its lips with lingering satisfaction, its eyes gleaming with even greater greed as it fixed its gaze on Liu Qinghuan, who was not far away.

The next instant, the demonic image opened its enormous, black hole-like mouth once more.

"Hiss~"

The suction force, more than ten times more terrifying than before, instantly swept across the entire battle arena!

The wind howled, the sky and earth changed color, and the ground on the battle platform, which was paved with ten-thousand-year-old black iron, was lifted up by this terrifying suction force. Countless pieces of stone and iron were sucked into the mouth of the demonic figure like a tide.

Liu Qinghuan suddenly felt his feet sink into the ground, and an irresistible force pulled his body, causing him to fly involuntarily towards the direction of the demonic image.

Just as everyone exclaimed in surprise, a dazzling blue light suddenly burst forth, and Liu Qinghuan's figure instantly disappeared from the spot, replaced by a towering tree that rose from the ground!
The giant tree's trunk stretched straight into the sky, like a massive pillar supporting the heavens. It was as thick as dozens of people could encircle it, and it soared upwards into the clouds, even surpassing the height of Xuan Yin's thousand-zhang demonic form.

The dense foliage spread out like an endless blue sea of ​​clouds, instantly covering the sky.

Each leaf is like a piece of jade, crystal clear, shimmering with a faint blue light, and with a gentle sway, it exudes a strong sense of vitality.

Countless thick, dragon-like roots spread out from the base of the tree trunk, like countless long, green snakes, and plunged fiercely into the ground of the battle platform.

The seemingly indestructible Xuan Iron ground, capable of withstanding even attacks from Mahayana cultivators, was as vulnerable as tofu before these roots, which sank deep into the earth's veins beneath the Nine Heavens Battle Platform.

"It's over! It's over!"

The Cangyun Sect cultivators in charge of the battle platform barrier were almost in tears, looking at their ancestor, True Person Jing Shu.

Fortunately, Jing Shu was able to maintain his composure. Battles between Mahayana cultivators are always earth-shattering, especially the battle between Dao Kui and Xuan Yin. Therefore, they made many preparations.

"Activate the second layer of the barrier to completely isolate this mountain from the outside world!"

In this way, this place is like an independent little world, and even if it collapses completely, it will not affect the outside world.

Soon, the spectators noticed that layers of light screens rose up around them, separating them from the battle platform.

On the battle platform, the aura of the giant tree grew increasingly heavy and powerful, its intense vitality transforming into azure clouds that enveloped the treetops.

The fierce suction force, like a devastating tornado, swept out from the demon's mouth, taking away the green leaves from the giant tree.

But as soon as the green leaves were swept away, new leaves immediately grew from the branches, endlessly and without ceasing. No matter how the wind howled or the suction was overwhelming, this giant tree was like a mountain rooted deep in the earth, as firm as a rock and unmoving.

The crowd below the stage erupted in uproar once again upon seeing the towering tree that had suddenly appeared.

"The Daoist Master's Dharma form is actually a tree? That's truly rare!"

"You're making a fuss over nothing! I saw it many years ago, in the Bamboo Sea on the border of the Azure Netherworld. Dao Kui used this Dharma Tree to protect countless people during the Void Beast Tide."

"But today is not a beast tide, but the Xuan Yin old thief, who is even more terrifying than a beast tide! The plant and tree dharma form is ultimately good for defense but not for offense..."
