Copper skin and iron bone, indestructible.
The profound realm in his body, which is refined through accumulation of essence, becomes fully revealed at this moment!
If an ordinary cultivator were to be so fiercely attacked by the White Ape without employing any defensive spells, they would have long been reduced to a meat pie and reported to the Emperor of the Three Gods.
Those who cultivate are different from ordinary people, even if they die, they will not directly go to the Underworld for judgment.
For example, those who practice Daoism are registered in the Green Canon, under the control of Emperor Sanmeng. If they die, they will report to Emperor Sanmeng.
If one has reached a certain level of moral conduct, meritorious acts, and cultivation, qualifying for immortality, then they will be granted the title of a minor immortal. Afterward, in the battle for divine titles, they will strive to gain more devotion and worship.
If one's cultivation is not sufficient, but their moral conduct and meritorious acts are significant, they can go to the Hall of Supreme Teachers in the Daoist realm and serve as a minor deity in the Underworld, such as a "second-in-command" or "lieutenant" under the jurisdiction of officials like Zang Sheng.
If one is not qualified to enter the ancestral hall, they can become a wanderer teacher to accumulate merit and gain devotion, in hopes of achieving divinity through incense and fire.
Of course, those cultivators who commit evil deeds and fail to meet the moral standards, sorry to say, not only will they be sent to the Underworld, but their crimes will also be penalized even more severely.
Furthermore, I must mention that the teachings of the Daoist Church are not included in this discussion.
Like Xie Wuming, this guy doesn't have the fortune to report to Emperor Sanmeng after death, but can only enter the Underworld for judgment and fall into reincarnation.
These will be discussed later.
Chen Yun had a two-round fight with the White Ape, relying on the superhuman defense of his copper skin and iron bone, he had not received any damage and even had a better understanding of the other's strength, giving him a sense of certainty in victory.
Upon standing up, he suddenly filled his entire body with true qi.
Instantly, a faint, visible glow shone around Chen Yun!
The White Ape once again attacked, using its four limbs to grab towards Chen Yun.
Chen Yun didn't rush or hurry, simply swaying backward and landing silently, as if he was lightly touching the water surface.
Then, he struck out with a palm, sending it through the air.
In an instant, the space was compressed together, forming a huge "vacuum handprint".
The White Ape, relying on its body that cannot be injured by weapons, didn't take the "vacuum handprint" seriously. It "squeaked" and rushed towards it head-on.
Thud!
The "vacuum handprint" made a loud bang when it hit the White Ape's body, but it didn't shake his figure.
Qin Liang and Ji Xin, who were watching the battle, couldn't help but sigh. The gap in power was still too large, and the Lord could not hurt the White Ape.
Just as they had this thought, a astonishing scene unfolded!
The White Ape, who had managed to resist the "vacuum handprint," was suddenly "frozen" in mid-air by an invisible force.
Suddenly, bang bang bang bang, continuous explosive roars resonated from the White Ape's body.
With each explosion, a terrifying wave of energy surged out from the back of the White Ape.
These terrifying energy waves took on the form of one "vacuum handprint" after another, and then struck the mud and stone ground behind the White Ape with three consecutive blows.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
The ground was blasted out with one giant handprint after another!
The shattered rocks and mud were blasted into the air and scattered in all directions like arrows, howling and sweeping around the sides.
Startled, Qin Liang and Ji Xin discovered that several ancient trees nearby were severely damaged by the shattered rocks and mud, looking utterly desolate.
It was the aftermath of the "vacuum handprint" explosion!
The power was so immense that it could transform the trunks of ancient trees into sieves?
At this moment, Qin Liang and Ji Xin realized that Chen Yun's palm strike from a distance was not as simple as it appeared!
Yes, at first glance, this palm strike seems ordinary, but its power is limitless.
Chen Yun's move used the "Water" incantation from the "Butcher Dragon Art," which appeared gentle but actually had wave after wave of power, with each wave being three times more ferocious than the last.
Even with its copper skin and iron bones, the White Ape howled in pain after being struck by this palm strike, scratching its ears, pulling at its whiskers, and jumping around as if trying to alleviate the pain.
Chen Yun didn't give the White Ape any chance to catch his breath. As soon as he saw the other's pain, he let out a loud roar and rushed forward, his entire body transformed into a lightning-like figure. He changed his palm into a fist, accompanied by the sound of clashing swords, and struck the White Ape repeatedly like a raging wind and rain.
As the White Ape was in pain, he saw Chen Yun charging at him again. Angry and with all his hair on his body standing up, he extended his two claws to grab Chen Yun's fist.
But as its claws were still not close to touching Chen Yun's fist, a series of sounds like hammers pounding on stainless steel burst out, and sparks flew from its claws in bursts.
This time, Chen Yun used the "Metal" incantation, gathering all his power into a point, forming an indestructible force!
Bang bang bang bang bang!
The continuous crashes, like metal clashing, echoed through the night sky!
Chen Yun's attack was like a rainstorm, completely covering the White Ape.
The White Ape was defenseless and could only dodge and parry on both sides, even though it moved quickly. However, Chen Yun's fists were too fast. Each punch was like a bolt of lightning and often broke through the White Ape's defense, hitting its robust body.
This was not the worst part for the White Ape.
What the White Ape found most unbearable was that Chen Yun's punches contained a sharp force within them, as if they could break through its defense, like a bunch of needles piercing through its fur, even though they didn't cause any significant harm. However, the pain caused it to become agitated and make continuous growling noises.
Perhaps it was Chen Yun's constant and forceful attacks that thoroughly enraged the White Ape.
The White Ape, in a fit of fury, gave up its defense, roared loudly, and let a myriad of punch points strike its body. With its two claws, it fiercely lunged towards Chen Yun's face!
Chen Yun quickly retreated backward and kicked with his foot at the same time.
The White Ape was kicked out of the air and flew away, creating a large crater on the ground as it fell. Its body kept sliding on the ground with friction, leaving a deep groove approximately three feet deep behind it.
Qin Liang and Ji Xin had watched in astonishment. The two divine generals had never imagined that Chen Yun, at full power, could be so fierce, completely dominating the White Ape in battle!
Although this white ape was still young, it had copper skin and iron bones, and was full of strength. Even a mediocre cultivator might not be able to gain the upper hand in battle, and could even be blasted into pieces.
However, Chen Yun had just been hit twice by the White Ape's fierce attacks. Not only was his physical body unharmed, but he also "expelled qi" afterward, turning his speed faster than the White Ape and his strength more ferocious. He beat this spirit beast with copper skin and iron bones, leaving it no choice but to defend itself!
A thought flashed through Qin Liang and Ji Xin's minds. The Lord's body was as solid as the White Ape's, and he could unleash such fierce power. It seemed that he could easily defeat a mediocre cultivator, unless the opponent had some kind of powerful secret technique or was a master of cultivating the dark divine spirit.
Mainly, the cultivation of the dark divine spirit is very suppressive to those who cultivate their physical bodies.
Currently, Chen Yun's dark divine spirit is not strong, so if he were to confront someone who specializes in cultivating the dark divine spirit, he would undoubtedly suffer a great loss.
While the two were in a state of confusion,
Chen Yun let out a long howl that pierced through the clouds and shattered stones.
As he rushed towards the White Ape again at full speed, Chen Yun brought his hands together tightly, held high above his head, and unleashed a thunderous strike of fire that descended like a storm.
The White Ape, who had just been hit and wasn't back to its senses yet, was stunned by this sudden loud shout. Its eyes were filled with stars, and it felt as if it were being immersed in a furnace, with the temperature rising all around it.
When it looked up again, the White Ape was horrified to see that Chen Yun's arms clenched tightly as he struck down were "blazing with fire".
Of course, this was just the White Ape's illusion. In fact, there was no "flaming sky" at all.
It happened accidentally because the White Ape fell into Chen Yun's dream control technique, but because of its powerful "soul" as a spirit beast, it was less affected.
But even though it was less affected, the White Ape was still under pressure from Chen Yun's aura. In a moment of panic, it could only swing its claws randomly and even prepared to fight to the death, forcing Chen Yun to withdraw his attack.
This move, if the White Ape could gain the upper hand, everything would crumble.
However, Chen Yun stood firm like a mountain, his entire body standing there as if he were an enormous towering mountain that had stood across the earth and sky for millennia. He let the White Ape strike him, creating a clanging sound like metal hitting metal, and sparks flying everywhere.
One of his hands wrapped around the other like a wooden vine, while the other hand used the "Water" incantation again, pouring wave after wave of fierce power into the White Ape's body!
Thus, Qin Liang and Ji Xin saw a heart-shattering and yet comical scene.
Chen Yun and the White Ape were wrapped around each other, continuously attacking each other.
With every strike Chen Yun made, a series of "vacuum handprints" would surge out from the White Ape's back, striking the ground with such force that it became pitted and crumbled.
And the White Ape's hits, aside from the strong waves that lifted Chen Yun's robe, only caused sparks to fly, with no other effects.
It was obvious to anyone that Chen Yun had the upper hand in their mutual blows.
Why?
Because the sparks represent that the White Ape can't break through Chen Yun's defense.
And Chen Yun can use the combined power of "Metal" and "Water" to penetrate the defense, causing the White Ape to continuously cry out in pain!
In just one breath, the two have exchanged over 300 punches!
The ground had already been collapsed due to the afterwave of their terrifying burst, forming a conical hole with its apex facing upward.
The pit was estimated to be over a hundred meters in diameter, with the deepest part reaching about seven or eight chi (approximately 2.4 to 2.7 meters)!
This is a deep pit caused by the afterwave of physical combat!
To know, in the past, Lin Feiyun used Zi Wei secret language to explode in full force, and it couldn't create such a commotion either.
Now, the residual impact of Chen Yun and the White Ape's hand-to-hand combat was so destructive.
It can be imagined how fierce the power they were actually striking each other with was!
Qin Liang and Ji Xin instinctively anticipated that even a steel bar would have been twisted into a spiral shape from the impact of Chen Yun or the White Ape.
But surprisingly, both of them were too strong and didn't sustain any substantial injuries!
Terrifying!
The Lord's power and the White Ape's were truly terrifying!
Qin Liang and Ji Xin secretly felt alarmed.
Little did Chen Yun know that he was even more alarmed than the White Ape, who was currently exchanging blows with him.
It wasn't because the White Ape, despite enduring his "Five Elements" attack, remained standing that made Chen Yun feel so startled.
It was because during his confrontation with the White Ape, he felt a powerful force within him surging, as if it wanted to burst out from the outside.
This powerful force did not belong to Chen Yun himself.
Not true qi.
Not divine consciousness.
And it was not the qi that permeated every inch of his body.
This force carried an aura of sanctity and inviolability, like a person facing the heavens and the earth.
It was like, that was the power of the Dao, wanting to manifest in the world.
Chen Yun instinctively realized that this was very likely the power of the three fire dates he had ingested, one of which contained the innate Dao qi.
Chen Yun never expected that his physical combat with the White Ape would trigger the existence of the Dao qi within him, which he had never sensed before.
It seems as if, with just a bit more effort, the Dao qi may be able to be stirred into external manifestation!
