Chapter 1966: The Might of the Dharma Appearance

The alien race had four Void Refinement cultivators and more than ten Soul Transformation cultivators; the human side had similar numbers.

The bristles on the Orcs' bodies rapidly grew, like countless black steel needles piercing their skin. Their features became extremely ferocious, resembling humanoid beasts.

A deafening beast roar erupted, and the calm sea surface suddenly churned violently, stirring up massive water spouts hundreds of zhang tall that rushed directly towards Wang Changsheng and his group.

Before the water spouts even drew close, a powerful gale rushed towards them. Wang Changsheng's group's clothes flapped wildly, their hair flew in the wind, and the air grew taut.

The four Void Refinement cultivators, including Cai Yunfeng, nodded. Without wasting words, they immediately summoned their magic treasures and attacked the aliens.

Cai Yunfeng flipped his palm, and a blue light flashed. A short sword shimmering with water mist appeared in his hand. He slashed it towards the void, and a piercing sword hum echoed as a long blue rainbow swept out to meet the oncoming attack.

Boom!

Following a deafening crash, the dense water spouts shattered like paper, torn in half by the blue rainbow. Water splashed everywhere, and a powerful wave of energy spread out. A large number of low-level demonic beasts were instantly killed by the powerful energy wave, and a vast expanse of the sea turned blood red.

The aliens scattered, splitting into two groups, each with two Void Refinement cultivators, and fled in different directions.

"Chase them!" Cai Yunfeng commanded. "Don't let them escape!"

Cai Yunfeng waved his sleeve, leading the Zhenhai Palace disciples in pursuit of the middle-aged man.

The young woman in the green dress led her people to pursue the other group of aliens. Both sides quickly vanished into the horizon, as if they had never appeared.

An hour later, Cai Yunfeng and his group had still not caught up with the aliens.

"Senior Brother Cai," the old man in green robes said, "I'll go block them. They absolutely cannot be allowed to escape!"

After saying this, the old man in green robes' body erupted with a brilliant green light and shriveled, transforming into an indestructible sharp sword that flew forward at incredible speed.

"Body-Sword Transformation!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Changsheng's eyes. This divine ability was somewhat similar to 'Man-Sword Fusion'. However, 'Body-Sword Transformation's' power depended entirely on the cultivator's own cultivation level, whereas 'Man-Sword Fusion' valued both the cultivator's cultivation level and the flying sword's grade. 'Body-Sword Transformation' was more powerful than 'Spirit-Sword Fusion' and demanded a higher cultivation level from the cultivator.

The middle-aged man seemed to sense something and turned his head to look behind him, seeing a streak of green light flying towards him. He frowned, and one of his eyes blazed with golden light. A dazzling golden beam shot out, heading directly for the green light.

The green light intensified, bursting forth with dazzling green radiance. The golden beam shattered like paper under the green light.

"You go first," the middle-aged man instructed. "Make sure to bring the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll back to the clan."

The middle-aged man gave a final instruction, then formed a hand seal. Countless mysterious spirit runes lit up on his body, and the void above his head violently twisted and deformed, emitting a muffled buzzing sound. A humanoid phantom over a hundred zhang tall appeared without warning above his head.

The humanoid phantom was indistinct, its features blurry, and it had over ten indistinct eyes on its body. It was clearly of the Multi-Eyed Race.

"A Dharma Idol!"

Wang Changsheng's expression turned serious. This was his first time seeing a Dharma Idol; only Void Refinement cultivators could condense one. The Dharma Idol condensed by this Multi-Eyed alien was relatively blurry and indistinct, clearly indicating it wasn't very powerful.

The humanoid phantom let out a strange roar, and its more than ten eyes blazed with spiritual light, each shooting out a thick beam of light. These dozen or so beams shot forth, blocking Wang Changsheng's group's retreat path.

The dozen or so beams were of various colors. Wherever they passed, a piercing whooshing sound could be heard, and the void twisted and deformed, seemingly on the verge of tearing apart. The seawater rolled back, forming massive water spouts. The spectacle was awe-inspiring, sending shivers down one's spine.

Wang Changsheng and the other Soul Transformation cultivators' expressions tensed. A Void Refinement cultivator attacking them with a Dharma Idol was no small matter.

The spiritual light of the green streak intensified again and then vanished.

"Condensing a Dharma Idol is inherently difficult," Cai Yunfeng scoffed. "Especially for your Multi-Eyed Race; only a few types of spiritual essences are suitable for condensing Dharma Idols. Your Dharma Idol looks like it could dissipate at any moment. How much power can it truly unleash?"

Cai Yunfeng sneered. He formed a hand seal, and his body erupted with a brilliant blue light. Above his head, the void emitted a muffled buzzing sound, vibrating and twisting as countless wisps of blue water vapor emerged. After coalescing, they transformed into a humanoid phantom hundreds of zhang tall. The phantom's features were distinct, its upper body enveloped in a layer of blue light, while its lower body was indistinct. This Dharma Idol was still halfway from solidifying.

Cai Yunfeng made a hand seal, and the humanoid phantom mimicked his movements.

An astonishing scene unfolded. The calm sea surface churned violently like boiling water, stirring up massive waves that stood like towering blue water mountains on the sea.

The dozen or so beams struck the massive waves. Each towering wave was torn to shreds, water splashed everywhere, and energy waves surged like a tide. The void twisted and deformed like a rag, and a deafening roar emanated from it, as if it were about to collapse.

Cai Yunfeng changed his hand seal, and the humanoid phantom's hand seal also changed.

Centered around them, the seawater within a fifty-thousand-li radius churned violently and spun rapidly, forming a massive vortex. Simultaneously, a powerful airflow was generated, and piercing whooshing sounds echoed from the void, which twisted and deformed like crumpled fabric. Winds surged, clouds rolled back, and the sky and earth changed color. Dozens of small islands could not withstand this powerful airflow and were directly pulverized into dust.

Vast numbers of low-level demonic beasts were instantly reduced to minced meat, even their souls unable to escape.

The aliens' bodies swayed from side to side, as if they were about to be sucked into the massive vortex. The humanoid phantom summoned by the middle-aged man flickered wildly, appearing as if it would shatter at any moment.

Cai Yunfeng lightly pointed with two fingers. The vortex's rotation speed greatly increased, and the void seemed to tear apart, shaking violently.

After letting out a strange roar, the Multi-Eyed Race's Dharma Idol suddenly disintegrated and vanished.

With his Dharma Idol shattered, the middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale. Although their cultivation levels were not far apart, the disparity in their Dharma Idols' solidity was significant, and the outcome was clear from their first exchange.

Wang Changsheng was filled with shock. He mused inwardly, "Is this the power of a Dharma Idol? If a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure were used, its power would be even greater, wouldn't it?"

Cai Yunfeng clearly cultivated a water-element technique. Using his Dharma Idol to unleash divine abilities greatly enhanced their power. This was truly a great divine ability; even without using a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, its power was not to be underestimated.

Two Soul Transformation alien cultivators uncontrollably plummeted towards the massive vortex. Spiritual light flickered around their bodies, but before the massive vortex, their defenses shattered like paper. They both turned into a shower of blood and merged into the massive vortex, not even their Nascent Souls able to escape.

The middle-aged man's expression darkened. The blue eye in his glabella immediately blazed brightly, emitting a dazzling blue radiance that illuminated a vast area.

Wang Changsheng and the others felt dizzy and disoriented upon seeing the blue radiance, unable to stand steadily.

Cai Yunfeng's gaze also became vacant, and the massive vortex on the sea surface vanished with it. A vast expanse of seawater was stained red. The winds subsided, and the waves calmed, as if nothing had ever happened.

Seizing this opportunity, the aliens split into two groups again, each of the two Void Refinement cultivators leading a team of cultivators, and fled in different directions.
