Chapter 2307: The Dharma Manifestation Unleashes Divine Power

Lan Fukong was both surprised and delighted. He hadn't expected to encounter Wang Changsheng here.

"Junior Lan, you are only at the Soul Transformation stage. This is not a place for you to be. Leave quickly!" Wang Changsheng commanded, his tone stern. He had traveled with Wang Sen to the Barren Lands in search of Silver Adamantine Crystals. Along the way, they had indeed encountered many demonic beasts, but fortunately, their ranks were not high, and Wang Sen had dealt with them without Wang Changsheng needing to intervene. Upon reaching the depths of the Barren Lands, he had been drawn by the sounds of fighting and unexpectedly ran into Lan Fukong.

"Thank you, Senior Wang, for saving our lives. Senior Wang, we can be of some small assistance," Lan Fukong said sincerely. With Wang Changsheng present, he felt no panic. Lan Fukong thought that offering a little help might strengthen his relationship with Wang Changsheng.

"I can deal with this demon myself. I won't be able to look after you during the fight, so leave quickly!" Wang Changsheng urged. He didn't want them to witness the state of his Dharma Idol. Knowing oneself and one's enemy leads to victory in every battle. Many Void Refining cultivators' Dharma Idols were only partially condensed, whereas Wang Changsheng's was condensed to a significant extent. If this information were to spread, his enemies would surely take precautions.

No sooner had he spoken than countless green thorns and weeds burst from the ground, forming thick ropes that coiled around the golden giant rat's body.

The four of them, including Lan Fukong, were about to say more when the ground began to shake violently, as if an earthquake had struck.

"Go!" the red-robed elder decided instantly, transforming into a streak of light and darting away at an incredibly fast speed. Lan Fukong and the other two followed closely. They hadn't flown far when the ground erupted, sending up clouds of dust as colossal trees toppled. An invisible force pushed them outwards, and they seized the opportunity to accelerate their escape.

Dust flew and yellow sand filled the sky for hundreds of miles around. Colossal trees exploded, turning into countless wood splinters, and powerful shockwaves rolled outwards.

Witnessing this scene, all four of them, including Lan Fukong, showed expressions of shock.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, you really know True Master Taihao!" the red-robed elder said with an envious tone. Lan Fukong often boasted, and no one believed him, but it turned out he truly knew True Master Taihao.

"Of course! How could I lie about something like that? Senior Wang possesses vast magical powers; I estimate he'll be able to slay this demon in less than a quarter of an hour," Lan Fukong said triumphantly, his face beaming with pride as if he were praising himself.

A sixth-rank demonic beast was not easy to kill, especially since it already possessed a Dharma Idol.

Inside the yellow sand curtain, Wang Changsheng stood atop a vast, azure ocean. A gigantic humanoid phantom floated above his head, with a significant portion of its body emitting a black light.

The humanoid phantom's right fist slammed into the void opposite, causing the space to hum. A black fist-shadow, over a thousand zhang in size, shot out. Wherever the black fist-shadow passed, long, slender cracks appeared in the void, as if the entire space were about to collapse, and the ground directly exploded.

With the Dharma Idol condensed to a significant extent, its power was multiplied several times over. If it were fully condensed, its destructive force would be even greater.

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from the black fist-shadow, the golden giant rat dared not be careless. The phantom of the giant rat above its head let out a sharp, piercing roar, spewing forth a golden, misty sound wave to meet the attack.

The black fist-shadow collided with the golden sound wave. The golden sound wave shattered instantly as if made of paper, and the powerful shockwave caused the ground within dozens of miles to explode.

The black fist-shadow struck the giant rat phantom, which let out a pained squeal before instantly dissipating. The black fist-shadow then hit the golden giant rat directly, sending it flying backward and crashing through dozens of peaks.

Before the golden giant rat could even catch its breath, an extremely piercing whoosh echoed, and a long blue rainbow shot forth, instantly appearing before it.
