Chapter 254 - 161: Overpowering (3)
Each spear thrust freely switched between three layers of Skillful Force. The surrounding Wind and Wave Power seemed to coil the sand and soil from the ground around it, causing an earthen-yellow light to flow over every one of Chu Lingguang’s strikes.
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
The Samba Saber Technique formed a curtain of water that blocked all of Chu Lingguang’s Linked Spear attacks. However, Samba was forced to retreat continuously, and his failure to defeat Chu Lingguang within twenty rounds thoroughly ignited his fury.
His Divine Beast Breathing Method and Divine Beast Running Method erupted. With the help of the Operation Technique, the twenty Bloodline Dragon Elephants within his body burst forth, unleashing thirty percent of their full Dragon Elephant Power.
SCREEECH!
Chu Lingguang felt the power within the Samba Saber Technique suddenly multiply. The moment his Long Spear and the Horse-Cutting Saber clashed, his entire Dragon Scale Elephant Hide trembled.
He felt as if the power from the Samba Saber Technique was about to shatter his Majestic Skin Aspect. Chu Lingguang once again stirred his Abdominal Vortex. Ever since consuming two packets of Heart-Devouring Powder and enduring the agony of his flesh and blood being torn apart, the vortex had grown much more robust than before.
Not only did it gather speed more quickly, but it could also enter his bloodline multiple times in a row to enhance his Dragon Elephant Power. He could use it back and forth more than ten times.
Unfortunately, Samba possessed twenty Bloodline Dragon Elephants, and with the aid of the Divine Beast Running Method, he had successfully unleashed thirty percent of their power. Even with his Qi Vortex enhancing his own Dragon Elephant Power and using the crux of the Unity of Man and Spear to draw upon the surrounding Potential Energy, Chu Lingguang still couldn’t withstand the impact of Samba’s force.
He had just taken a few steps forward on the attack when he was beaten back again by the enraged Samba. Samba seemed to have transformed into a wild beast. Having drunk three bowls of Beast Blood daily, his physique was already extraordinary. Coupled with the Divine Beast Breathing Method, the Beast Blood allowed him to unearth the latent potential within his bloodline.
Thus, not only was his physique astonishing, but his speed and power also far surpassed his peers. By fully activating his Bloodline Dragon Elephants, each saber strike seemed to carry the force of several thousand, or even over ten thousand, pounds.
Keep in mind that each Bloodline Dragon Elephant possessed a thousand pounds of Qi Power.
Samba had twenty Bloodline Dragon Elephants, and combined with his own Flesh and Blood Power, his Attack Power exceeded ten thousand pounds—and that was only because he hadn’t managed to unleash the full extent of his Dragon Elephant Power.
But by using the Divine Beast Running Method to unleash thirty percent of his Dragon Elephant Power, he already surpassed most people.
Thus, with his continuous, cleaving Saber Technique, Samba was like a frenzied beast smashing through jungle undergrowth.
Emperor Yue Xuan and Chen Jin both wore expressions of terror.
On that day, the two of them had joined forces, only to be defeated by Samba within thirty rounds. And back then, Samba hadn’t displayed this kind of frenzied, bestial might.
If Samba had attacked with this level of power from the start, they feared they wouldn’t have even lasted fifteen rounds. So, watching Chu Lingguang being beaten into a steady retreat, their hearts leaped into their throats.
’He’s too strong.’
’Even with my Blood Dragon Elephant and the enhancement from my Abdominal Vortex, I’m no match for him in terms of Qi Power. To stop him, my only option is to activate the second-level Dharma Aspect.’
Chu Lingguang thought in alarm.
ROAR!
The second-level Dharma Aspect of the Dragon Elephant Power: the Flesh Aspect.
A sheen of light flowed through the gaps in the Scale Armor of his Dragon Scale Elephant Hide. Beneath the scales, the black patterns of the elephant hide grew even clearer than the dragon scales themselves.
A power originating from his very flesh and blood not only caused the might of Chu Lingguang’s Spear Technique to skyrocket but also made his Blood Dragon Elephant and eight main meridian Dragon Elephants erupt with sixty percent of their power.
"Samba, taste my spear!"
Phantoms of a dragon and an elephant appeared in Chu Lingguang’s pupils, one in his left eye and one in his right. He was like an Evil Dragon letting out a low growl. The Lightning Spear in his hand seemed like an extension of a dragon’s claw, and the elephant patterns on his feet not only rooted him to the ground but also caused a surge of power to well up from the flesh of his legs.
The power of his spear thrust climbed dramatically. Combined with the surrounding Potential Energy, its force exceeded ten thousand pounds, and the earthen-yellow light on the spearhead looked as if it would burst forth.
To the onlookers, it looked as if Chu Lingguang’s spear thrust was flinging all the sand and soil from the ground straight at Samba.
BOOM!
A deafening impact resounded.
Samba’s unstoppable momentum was successfully intercepted. He was even forced to slide backward some distance.
The Horse-Cutting Saber in his hand hummed, having nearly been knocked from his grasp. He stared at Chu Lingguang in disbelief. When he saw that the dragon scales on Chu Lingguang’s body had not only solidified but also had a luster flowing between them, that elephant patterns had appeared on his feet, and that his flesh was so taut it seemed forged from metal, he instinctively murmured, "The second-level Dharma Aspect of the Dragon Elephant Power... the Flesh Aspect!"
"The Flesh Aspect!"
Guo Wei and the others exclaimed in shock.
"He succeeded."
Feng Zhiwen’s expression shifted from astonishment to elation.
"Master, Junior Brother did it," Wang Chao said excitedly.
Guo Wei watched Chu Lingguang, his face alight with excitement. From the strength Chu Lingguang was now displaying, he knew he must have activated the second-level Dharma Aspect within two days of swallowing the Heart-Devouring Powder.
’That kid actually knew how to hide his strength. He even kept it a secret from me, his own master.’
Lian Junmiao and the others also stared at Chu Lingguang in disbelief, their expressions electrified as if they were the ones fighting Samba.
"Chu Lingguang, avenge Chen Jin and me!"
Emperor Yue Xuan shouted.
"I never expected you to successfully activate the second-level Dharma Aspect after consuming two packets of Heart-Devouring Powder," Samba said, his voice filled with disbelief.
Chu Lingguang froze. ’The Turkic Mission really is monitoring my every move. They even know I took two packets of Heart-Devouring Powder.’
’However, Feng Zhiwen is an expert in these matters. He often helps people activate their Bloodline Dragon Elephants and open their Dharma Aspects. The Turkic Mission only needed to know that Guo Wei had invited Feng Zhiwen over. Add to that the fact that during the days I was soaking in the medicinal bath, Feng Zhiwen sent people to purchase ingredients—even having some sent all the way from South City. From that, they could easily deduce that I had taken the Heart-Devouring Powder.’
