Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 818 Feng Heng Vs Zhen Biyu (IV)

?

Feng Heng calmly looked at his opponent, thinking about the optimal tactic to begin this battle.

'She has displayed excellent use and control of her Dao and a unique application of the soul. Although it should only be the bare surface of her ability, it is enough for me to deduce her capabilities.

'The only place I lack information is her physical prowess, so let's test it.'

Feng Heng acted, and countless halos of different colors appeared above his head. Each halo had a different aura or emotions. Upon closer observation, Zhen Biyu noticed a few:

Halo of Virtue, Halo of Suffering, Halo of Wisdom, Halo of Sins, Halo of Truth, Halo of Compassion, and so many more.

After these halos manifested, they fused into Feng Heng's body, turning him into a noble gilded man. 

The sound of a river flooding could be heard as Feng Heng's blood rushed through his veins. His heartbeat resonated with the space of this dimension, making it tremble with each beat.

"The All Virtue Buddha Golden Body," said Zhen Biyu in shock.

"Oh, you know this technique?" asked Feng Heng with a frown; this technique has long been lost to time, and he was probably one of the few people in this world who still knew of its existence.

So, after hearing Zhen Biyu naming it, he was surprised while also confirming her identity was special. With this incident, he confirmed his theory that someone possessed her.

He eliminated the possibility of reincarnation and waking up the past life memory because his Yin-Yang Eyes saw the essence of her soul and did not detect the breath of reincarnation.

Zhen Biyu displayed a great sense of seriousness because of the origin of this technique.

In the Endless Void, the Myriad Emperor World was not the only place that had an entire era ruled by Buddhism. And it was not the only place where these monks went mad because of the power of incense.

Most World Communities have one thing in common–the Null Era. After the Innate-Acquire War, most cultivation civilizations were destroyed and had to start over. 

And the ones who survived with an intact inheritance also suffered tremendous damage. Furthermore, the Heavenly Dao of most of these worlds saw an opportunity to start over, better than before.

The other thing all Heaven Will Worlds and World Communities shared in common was the rise of Buddhism. More than hundreds of World Communities had eras ruled by Buddhism and practiced cruel methods of gathering incense.

The rise of Buddhism appeared simultaneously across all World Communities. Some worlds were ruled by Buddhism for an extended period, right after the Null Era, to be precise.

The prosperity of Buddhism allowed it to gather too much destiny. As such, its backlash was so severe that its downfall occurred in the same generation. It's a shame that something went wrong with the Absolute Beginning Emperor, and he wiped out the entire religion.

'There were rumors the All Virtue Buddha Golden Body originated from the upper dimension. But I know that's not true,' thought Zhen Biyu, a little flustered because of the origin and rumor behind this fantastic body refining technique.

At the peak of Buddhism's prosperity, something fantastical occurred–126 Great Emperors appeared from the Buddhist Sect. In one generation, Buddhism accounted for 3.3% of all Emperors in the lower dimension.

Such a record was unheard of. However, what occurred next was even more remarkable. These 126 Buddhist Emperors gathered and had a Dharma Discussion, inviting the most talented monks from their worlds and factions for a meeting to discuss the Dao.

During this meeting, countless new theories, thoughts, ideas, and schools of thought were created. And, of course, numerous brilliant cultivation techniques or spells.

And the most outstanding achievement of this meeting was the creation of the All Virtue Buddha Golden Body. This technique contained the thoughts of millions of Buddhist monks from Tier 7 to 9.5, 126 Great Emperors–3 of whom were Eternal Emperors.

As such, the All Virtue Buddha Golden Body is considered one of the masterpieces of Buddhism and the most brilliant body refining technique in the lower dimension.

Unfortunately, only true monks can cultivate this technique. Without true dedication to Buddhism, no one can practice this technique.

Cultivating this technique requires a person to deeply understand Buddhist Dharma and condense halos from these understandings.

So, people will often condense things like the Halo of Suffering, or Halo of Compassion, and so on. After condensing the halos, the cultivator has to absorb unique energy or resources based on these halo's unique Dharma before fusing them into their bodies.

The fused halo will then temper the body's skin, muscles, bones, organs, meridians, blood, brain, acupoints, apertures, and cells to an unimaginable level.

Zhen Biyu took a moment to reign in her shock. She did expect to see such a legendary technique in this place. However, what shocked her the most was the hundreds of halos surrounding Feng Heng.

'How could his understanding of Dharma be so deep?'

No matter how heaven-defyingly talented a person is, they would need a long time to condense so many halos.

'No, I may spook myself out,' analyzed Zhen Biyu. 'The Halos need resources to condense into reality before fusion. However, Buddhism has been destroyed for so long, so there should not be many resources after such a short revival.'

After figuring things out, she focused on the halos and noticed the majority were illusory and not fully condensed. Zhen Biyu sighed in relief after this discovery. 

She could not fathom how powerful her opponent's fleshly body would be if he condensed all these halos.

After analyzing the situation, Zhen Biyu displayed her tactic to deal with this situation. She was not a body refiner. However, as a top Heaven Chosen, she knew how terrifying body refiners were and created ways to deal with them and make up for the gap.

As such, a white and yellow slim armor appeared around her body. Immediately, her aura changed from a calm and peaceful Taoist priest to a mighty general with unparalleled momentum.

Meanwhile, Feng Heng had finished activating his fleshly body. He clenched his hand to feel the power coursing through his veins.

'It's a shame,' he thought. The revival of Buddhism was too short, preventing him from gathering enough resources to cultivate his fleshly body. Otherwise, with his years of studying the Dharma, he could push the All Virtue Buddha Golden Body to an unprecedented level.

'It has to do for now.'

He glanced at his opponent before rushing forward. In an instant, he appeared before her as if he had teleported. A golden light flashed on his body as he punched forward.

Bang!

Zhen Biyu flew a hundred steps backward, but her armor was intact, without a single scratch.

'Interesting. What kind of armor is this?'

Feng Heng rushed forward and used a palm attack; he controlled his strength to penetrate the armor. However, to his surprise, the armor blocked the penetrating power of his Dark Strength.

Feng Heng did not stop after one strike but attacked with trillions of punches in a second. His fists moved so fast that it did not look like they moved to the untrained eyes.

Meanwhile, Zhen Biyu tried to retaliate. However, there was too much difference between their physical stats–especially speed and reaction time.

[Gravity]

With Earth Dao, she controlled the power of gravity, creating a gravity wave of one trillion raised to a trillion times normal Earth gravity; she wanted to push him away to give her room for maneuverability.

  However, Feng Heng ignored her attempt as one of his punches sliced through this terrifying gravity like a hand plunging into water.

'This thing is so tough?' thought Feng Heng after seeing the small cracks he created with his assault. This level of damage was almost nonexistent, especially since the cracks could heal independently.

Luckily, he did gain something–he learned the specifics of this technique.

'Taoism believes all matter in the universe originated from the Five Elements. Zhen Biyu used this idea to create the hardest metal possible. Such a metal reached the level of Dao Artifacts.

'And if she were not restricted by her 7-Leaf Strength, the hardness and density of this metal would probably reach Emperor Tier.'

Feng Heng squinted his eyes as he wondered whether any truly talented Heaven Chosens that cultivated Five Element Dao could create such a metal. Or was it the result of whoever possessed Zhen Biyu?

The crux of this question is not the metal level but whether someone can achieve such a level with only Immortal Venerable strength. And the chances of that happening are very low.

'So, whoever it is, they must be an Emperor or, at the very least, used to be a powerful Insurgent.'

Feng Heng knew some Emperors used their descendants to revive themselves. However, his eyes did not detect any imprint from Zhen Biyu's body. So, he had to rule out this method.

'Well, it does not matter for now since I already found a way around this metal.'
