Heaven's Devourer

Chapter 1303: Dragon and Elephant Buddha

In his mind, many scenes of battle merged together.

He was someone who liked to fight. Ever since he acquired the Ruyi Jingu Bang, he had continued to grow stronger through battle.

All of the battles, including the battles of the Xuan immortals that he had devoured, and the Crimson Demon Horned Dragon’s battles, all of them merged together.

With his battle will as the nucleus, they again converged to form a new immortal dao mark!

"The Dao of Battle!"

Battle was also dao. When one brought fighting to its peak potential, it would become a form of will, a fighting spirit that was a dao.

Wu Yu’s synthesization of his experiences formed the second immortal dao mark in his Sea of Knowledge: the Dao of Battle.

The Dao of Battle was neither fire nor gold. It was intangible. You could neither see it nor touch it, but this fierce will was clearly present in his immortal spirit, strengthening it. His Bodhi Seeds also grew considerably, like a sky full of stars within his immortal spirit.

Although Wu Yu did not have enough power to fill these Bodhi Seeds right now, with so many clones, he had already realized much of the Crimson Demon Horned Dragon’s goal!

He had entered the 2-Xuan immortal realm. Such speed was both miraculous and frightening! But all of this had happened in Dragon Emperor’s Prison, and no one had noticed it.

"Actually, I should have just not gone to seek the voice from the start, I should have focused on growing stronger. If I had done this earlier, the Tian Ming Dragon Lord would not be my match."

Of course, it was not too late to start now.

He and the Primordial Immortal Empire were considered uninfluential, and it was not a bad choice to remain low-profile. But if the Sky Chariot Dragon King wanted to mess with them and ridicule them, then Wu Yu had no choice. He could definitely grow strong very suddenly, but this would bring its own set of problems. Except right now, he didn’t care. He was not willing to see Wu Hao and the others leave the Dragon Emperor’s Supreme Battlefield frustrated and helpless.

He was just preparing to stand up and continue advancing.

Suddenly, the Ruyi Jingu Bang trembled, then a beam of golden light entered his immortal spirit.

"Invincible Vajra Body eighth tier! Dragon and Elephant Prajna Buddha Body!"

Even before he searched for it, the Ruyi Jingu Bang had already given him the eighth tier of the Invincible Vajra Body directly.

Above the Vairocana Vajra Buddha Body, there was the Nine Aspects of the Venerable Buddha. And above the Nine Aspects of the Venerable Buddha was the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Buddha Body.

Wu Yu had already guessed that Vajra buddha energy, like immortal energy, would continue to strengthen and expand.

His immortal dao marks had expanded the holding capacity of his Bodhi Seeds, strengthening his immortal energy.

As for his Invincible Vajra Body, although it created buddha energy alone and synthesized it within his body, there would surely be ways for it to continue growing stronger.

He had originally thought that there would be something in the Nine Xuan Dao Realm that was similar to immortal dao marks that would help his buddha energy grow stronger and also hold dao. But it was not so.

The Dragon and Elephant Prajna Buddha Body skirted around the dao. It was not concerned with dao, but with strengthening the physical body.

The sixth tier, the Vairocana Vajra Buddha Body, had made the particles of his body into vajra buddhas.

The seventh tier, the Nine Aspects of the Venerable Buddha, had opened nine aspect realms within his vajra buddhas and developed his buddha energy.

As for the eighth tier, the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Buddha Body, Wu Yu had gained a brief insight into it. It seemed to "divide" his vajra buddhas into dragons and elephants. Eventually, each particle’s vajra buddha would be divided into nine dragons and nine elephants. His nine aspect realms would each go through nine divisions, until they formed 512 aspect realms![1]

The first step of the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Buddha Body was to divide the vajra buddha particles in his body. From one to two, forming a dragon and elephant!

Wu Yu could vaguely sense that the Invincible Vajra Body was not actually a body refining art. Instead, it was something outside the ken of immortals, a second type of cultivation art. Perhaps demon immortals, ghostly immortals, immortals, and immortal beasts were all actually one type of cultivation art, and this Invincible Vajra Body was something else altogether!

For example, at this time, it stood completely independent of his dao, opening a new way of refining his body.

Therefore, he sat down to carefully study it, in no hurry to leave. At his current level of insight, the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Buddha Body did not seem especially difficult.

At least that was how it started off.

There were a total of 1,000 words.

Wu Yu started to work on the first 100, and then 200.

The nine aspect realms required a starter. However, the eighth tier did not. Instead, it demanded an even more elevated level of comprehension and understanding.

To understand what the nature of the dragon and elephant were.

Put simply, dragons and elephants were symbols of "strength" in Buddhism.

The symbolic images of dragons and elephants were merely representations of strength, and had nothing to do with actual mystical dragons or elephants.

One vajra buddha, divided into the two manifestations of dragon and elephant.

He had to divide the countless vajra buddhas in his body. This would be a complicated process.

Therefore, although there were only 100 words, they each held great weight, and were not easy to understand.

Wu Yu worked his way through each one. He was very talented in this aspect, and now he could also consider problems through the experiences and perspectives of many people, especially mystical dragons. They had a greater understanding of the dragons in the dragon symbols. After all, they were modeled after them.

"Dragon and Elephant.

"Prajna Buddha Body?"

Wu Yu was lost in his own world.

He needed to take the first step.

"I see it now."

Luckily, he had the insight of the Crimson Demon Horned Dragon, who had had six yuan of time, or more than 700,000 years, to consider these problems. His level was not something that Wu Yu could hope to compare with.

Therefore, after a long process of brain work, Wu Yu finally understood it.

"Divide in order to store even more buddha energy. Although on the whole it does not look like much, my body is actually being reinforced through each division.

"At the ninth tier, after it is divided nine times, I will still be the same size as I was before, but my strength and buddha energy will have increased by more than 500 times, and perhaps even more!”

He began to work on it.

He had to go into every particle, starting from the head of the vajra buddhas, and split them into two. The left half would twist into a dragon, and would be filled with a dominating strength.

The right half would form a sturdy elephant that warred against the dragon. This would elevate its depth and allow it to hold even more power.

The mutual support between dragon and elephant.

This was not just a simple division of particles, but more - a metamorphosis of the entire body, a significant process that would transform the entire body into a symbiosis of mystical dragon and giant elephant. Wu Yu’s physical strength would also increase to a terrifying new level!

He now desperately needed buddha energy!

Swish, crackle! Swish, crackle!

Within his body, golden light madly rebounded everywhere, sparking with all sorts of sounds. His entire body was transforming. There were billions of mystical dragons and elephants in his body!

Wu Yu bellowed a titanic roar that shook even the entire Dragon Emperor’s Prison. It had both the savage ferocity of the mystical dragon as well as the rumbling depth of the elephant.

Whether dragon or elephant, they were strength incarnate. This was an important note. If one was simply preoccupied with the forms of a dragon and an elephant, then the intricacies of the immortality art would elude them. It was otherwise unthinkable - how could an elephant compare to a mystical dragon?

That would be a misconception!

After Wu Yu divided out his first dragon and elephant, he reached the first tier. He was not satisfied. He still had more understanding, because the first part was the hardest. He continued to divide, using the trunk of the elephant to rip the limbs of the mystical dragon into two! At the same time, he used the dragon fangs to tear the elephant in half!

One dragon into two!

One elephant into two!

What was torn apart was then put together anew.

He successfully reached the second level of the Invincible Vajra Body’s eighth tier.

What had been one vajra buddha before was now two dragons and two elephants. Of course, each dragon and elephant formed a pair that existed in perfect balance.

This was as if Wu Yu had two second tier Nine Xuan Dao Realm bodies. At this time, if he only had enough buddha energy, he could make these dragons and elephants glow even brighter, and his strength would be even more terrifying.

Wu Yu had reached an even higher cultivation level!

For now, he could not break through any further in terms of immortal dao marks. He could not ascertain what his third mark would be.

As for the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Buddha Body, that was another type of difficulty. From one to two, two to four. It was not easy to continue amassing dragon and elephant pairs within a fixed body. Besides, the subsequent tearing methods and reconstitution methods would be completely different from before, so it was not easy for Wu Yu to reach the third level immediately.

But when he opened his eyes anew in the Dragon Emperor’s Purgatory, everything was different. Whether his physical body or immortal spirit, they had gone through huge transformations.

He was both an immortal and not like an immortal. His body was too awesome, and no immortal had his physique, not even immortal beasts.

Compared to his vajra buddhas before, Wu Yu’s current body was like a primordial immortal beast. It was even more fearsome than the immovable, passive mountain that it had been before. Each breath he took was the breath of billions of mystical dragons and elephants. His gaze and aura crushed everything. Even mystical dragon immortal beasts such as the ultimate mystical dragons would have to recognize his power.

As for the Bodhi Seeds in his immortal spirit, they were also powerful, and as plentiful as stars in the universe. They were no weaker than his physical body.

Wu Yu was very satisfied with his current state. But what he needed was dragon and elephant buddha energy and Bodhi immortal energy. That would make his fighting power even greater.

Therefore, he needed to continue hunting!

It was regrettable that he still could not hunt down the voice. He could only use the Dragon Emperor’s Purgatory as an opportunity to make himself stronger faster! At the same time, he would allow Wu Hao and the others to be able to leave the Dragon Emperor’s Supreme Battlefield with their heads held high. As for that voice, if he could not find it with his 100,000 doppelgangers in the remaining one month, then that was fate.

As for Wu Yu, he continued to fight and devour!

His 100,000 doppelgangers were like 100,000 helpers, which no one else had.

Actually, his guess was spot on. Wu Hao and the others were indeed in a tough spot.

Especially Ye Xuanyi. He had also been forced out with his Escape Immortal Design, and his ranking was fixed at fourth from the bottom. It could not possibly change.

Yu Manyuan, Xing Ling, and Ye Xuanyi had left. They saw that they were second, third, and fourth from last!

"It’s all Wu Yu’s fault! If not, we would not be in such a bad spot! How shameful!" Yu Manyuan bawled.

Xing Ling said listlessly, "I’m doomed. I’ll be laughed at for the rest of my life...."

Ye Xuanyi was also pale. He was the most miserable, because he should not be at this rank. He looked at last place with hatred.

Last place, Primordial Immortal Empire, Wu Yu. Five words that were a pain in the eye to look at.

Ever since Ye Xuanyi’s exit, the Sky Chariot Dragon King had been laughing non-stop.

1. Quick math! Each aspect realm is divided into two, nine times. 2^9 = 512
