Chapter 251 - 147: Dharma Golden Body, Shaking the Heavens and Earth, The Grand Competition Ends

Gu Yun gazed at the terrifying spear shadow filling the sky, an apocalyptic vision brimming with ultimate energy.

His pupils constricted to pinpricks as an overwhelming sense of crisis surged from deep within him.

’This power... It must be on the level of Tongxuan...’ Gu Yun thought, shocked.

The hundred-li-long spear shadow, etched with profound runes, tore through space and plunged toward Gu Yun, carrying a boundless momentum that threatened to crush all existence.

WHOOSH!

The very energies of the world locked him in place.

The attack covered an enormous area.

Gu Yun had no way to evade it!

Since he couldn’t run and couldn’t hide,

the only choice was to fight to the bitter end!

Surrender was not an option.

A savage wind swept by,

sending shards of stone spiraling into the air.

Gu Yun’s tattered, blood-soaked robes fluttered wildly, his dark hair a frantic dance. His eyes glinted with an unprecedented resolve. Like storm clouds blotting out the sun, a majestic Momentum slowly began to rise from him.

HWOOSH!

Gu Yun took a deep breath.

A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed in his eyes, gleaming with an unparalleled light.

BOOM!

A colossal aura erupted from Gu Yun’s body, its terrifying might blasting into the surrounding space like a tidal wave.

Above, dark clouds roiled across the sky, like ten million ironclad cavalry thundering past—a crushing, dark mass that felt as if it would collapse at any moment, creating an immense sense of pressure.

"Dharma Heaven and Earth!"

Immediately, Gu Yun formed a seal with one hand.

An incredibly terrifying power suddenly surged from Gu Yun.

A massive Celestial Spirit Dharma Aspect erupted from his body.

It transformed into a spiritual body hundreds of zhang tall, crackling with lightning.

It stood tall in the void, glaring angrily—a vajra-like Dharma Aspect, like the Thunder God himself!

Feeling his strength multiply in an instant,

Defense, attack, and True Yuan—at this moment, they were all pushed to their absolute limits. A surge of confidence filled Gu Yun, and another flash of lightning crossed his eyes.

The hand seal changed once more, his hands a blur of afterimages in mid-air.

"Divine Skill: Dragon Moving Nine Heavens!"

Gu Yun’s Celestial Spirit Dharma Aspect, standing tall in the sky, burst forth with a boundless, multicolored radiance.

ROAR!

A clear dragon’s cry suddenly echoed between heaven and earth.

The light of the heavens flickered, shining with an unprecedented, brilliant glow.

A hundred-li-long Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, wreathed in hazy golden clouds, seemed to traverse the boundless cosmos, descending from a world beyond into this one!

CRACK! CRACK!!

The sky itself was shattering!

ROOOAR!!

The next instant,

the magnificent, colossal Five-Clawed Golden Dragon let out a ferocious roar,

shattering the Void Celestial and crushing the firmament as it charged, an unstoppable force, toward the Fiery Flaming Spear Shadow that pierced the heavens!

"These two kids,"

"are really giving it their all..." On the high platform, the handsome Bai Wushuang couldn’t help but remark. He wore a white Daoist Robe, his posture as straight and tall as a pine tree, and a faint, hazy light wreathed his form.

"Is that... a Dharma Aspect?

I never expected that kid to have mastered something like this. His fortune is truly boundless!" A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of an old man standing nearby, who wore a Daoist Robe and had a long white beard.

"A Dharma Aspect and Divine Abilities!

Tsk, tsk. The boy is an absolute monster.

Sikong Zheng really lucked out, picking up a prodigy like this."

Beside them, Jiang Tingbai remarked, a look of shocked admiration in his eyes. He wore a light green Profound Robe, his snow-white hair held up by a pin and crown.

"Enough."

"Elder Chen, if you would. Expand the Array’s defensive perimeter to five hundred li, and increase its strength to the Tongxuan Middle Stage."

On the high platform, a dignified middle-aged man who exuded an ultimate Dao Rhythm spoke, his profound gaze fixed on the arena.

A hint of surprise flickered in the depths of his starry, profound eyes, followed by a flicker of gratification. ’In this age of great contention, with a prodigy like this... it seems my Sect might just have a chance to return to its peak...’

"Yes!"

The wizened, white-bearded elder in the Daoist Robe from before responded.

A moment later, the Dao Rhythm of Heaven and Earth surged around him.

He raised a hand and pointed into the void.

The underlying structure of the Array appeared in the space before him, as intricate as a star chart.

As it shifted, Daoist Techniques interwove, and he poured in immense Magical Power.

The Array Star Disc glowed with a dazzling light.

With a final, intersecting transformation and a soft RUMBLE, the Array etched with profound runes upon the arena flickered with strands of starlight before a quiet WHOOSH signaled it had settled.

Meanwhile, in the spectator stands surrounding the vast arena, there was nothing but absolute shock.

"Holy cow,"

"They’re too strong... just too strong..." a disciple stammered, dumbfounded, his face a mask of shock as he stared at the godlike display of Divine Power on the stage.

"Is this... is this still the fucking True Martial Realm? This is horrifying!"

a middle-aged Cultivator exclaimed in shock. He wore a grey Profound Robe, his face fleshy with thick brows, a wide forehead, and a goatee.

"Those on the stage... they are no longer mortal..."

a refined, scholar-like young Cultivator murmured, holding a folding fan, his eyes filled with an unprecedented level of shock.

...

At that moment, high above the vast arena, the hundred-li-long Fiery Flaming Spear Shadow that pierced the heavens and crossed the void plunged down from beyond the sky like a colossal meteor.

It tore through layer after layer of space with boundless Divine Power, smashing toward the hundred-li-long Five-Clawed Golden Dragon—the beast that ripped through dimensions, soared to the nine heavens, and was wreathed in golden clouds and a terrifyingly potent aura!

RUMBLE-RUMBLE-RUMBLE!!!

The two mighty attacks, both surpassing the True Martial Realm to reach the power of the Tongxuan Realm, collided violently in the void, triggering a world-shaking explosion.

In that instant, the entire world went dark. Vast swathes of space shattered, and from the pitch-black abyssal rifts that opened in the void—a darkness so complete you couldn’t see your own hand—terrifying torrents of chaotic energy surged out like monstrous, unchained beasts.
