Chapter 978 - Supreme Dharma Characteristic
Chapter 978: Supreme Dharma Characteristic
Swoosh!
Dao Lord Extreme Fire flipped his hand and a red light flashed.
Instantly, the fire spear arrived before Dao Lord Immortal Sword and the surrounding air was ignited!
Many Dao Lords retreated.
If they were too close to a battle of this level, they would be drawn into it!
Clang!
There was no way to tell what Dao Lord Immortal Sword was doing. However, a chilling long sword with six Dharmic patterns etched on it appeared in his hands.
It was a connate Dao Lord Dharmic weapon!
Although the fire spear was fast, Dao Lord Immortal Sword's sword technique was even faster. After drawing his sword, he slashed!
Buzz!
The sword struck the tip of the spear and sliced through the scarlet body of the spear, producing an ear-piercing sound as it cut the latter into pieces.
Back in Thousand Demon Valley, Su Zimo had already witnessed Dao Lord Immortal Sword's methods.
However, that was only a clone of Dao Lord Immortal Sword!
Now that he was watching at a close distance, Su Zimo truly felt the terror of the number one on the Dharma Characteristic Ranking!
The two of them merely exchanged a single move and the Dharmic powers in the entire hall seemed to have been sucked dry, causing the hall to tremble!
Swash!
Dao Lord Immortal Sword destroyed Dao Lord Extreme Fire's fire spear with a single slash and did not pause at all. In a flash, he transformed into a sword beam and arrived in front of Dao Lord Extreme Fire instantly!
He knew that Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords were definitely not his match in melee combat.
Therefore, he had shortened the distance at the first moment, wanting to suppress Dao Lord Extreme Fire with his supreme Sword Dao.
Boom!
Dao Lord Extreme Fire's expression was unchanged as he touched his glabella gently with his finger. A scarlet tripod flew out and landed in front of him, blocking the incoming sword!
That gigantic tripod was also a connate Dao Lord Dharmic weapon!
The moment the two of them exchanged blows, they had already summoned their Destiny Dharmic Weapons!
Swash!
Dao Lord Immortal Sword flashed again and circled around the scarlet tripod, arriving behind Dao Lord Extreme Fire.
His movement technique was way too fast!
Even some Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords present could not see it clearly, let alone Nascent Souls and Void Reversions.
"Is this Sword Sect's Sword Escape technique? It truly lives up to its reputation."
"Dao Lord Immortal Sword has killed many strong foes in the fight for the Dharma Characteristic Ranking with this Sword Escape technique!"
"No one in the same realm can match that movement technique!"
None of the Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords present were nobodies and each of them had their own interpretation of this battle.
Dao Lord Immortal Sword's judgment was accurate.
He wielded a three-foot green sword and relied on his Sword Escape technique to move nimbly.
As for Dao Lord Extreme Fire's Destiny Dharmic Weapon, it was a scarlet tripod. Although it was strong, it was not flexible enough!
Dao Lord Extreme Fire did not even turn around as he conjured hand seals with both hands and hollered softly, "Disperse!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Instantly, three scarlet flames appeared beside Dao Lord Extreme Fire and revolved around him.
"Scarlet Flame Spiral Lamp!"
Su Zimo, Nangong Ling and the others recognized it immediately. It was a Dharmic art from the Scarlet Flame Heart Sutra that could be used for both offense and defense.
Dao Lord Immortal Sword's sword was struck by a ball of flames the moment it arrived behind Dao Lord Extreme Fire. Instantly, flames burst forth from his sword and its temperature rose rapidly!
"Extinguish!"
He hollered and sword qi burst forth from his body, tearing through the void with a power that seemed as though it could destroy all life!
Lifeless Sword Art!
Sword cultivators specialized in killing!
For Dao Lord Immortal Sword, killing techniques were even pushed to their limits!
Dao Lord Extreme Fire had already turned around. His eyes lit up as he conjured hand seals repeatedly. The three balls of flames that were initially surrounding him gathered rapidly and formed a gigantic fireball!
The Samadhi Dao Fire!
Swoosh!
The ball of fire smashed towards Dao Lord Immortal Sword viciously. Everywhere it passed, Dharmic powers would be incinerated and space would distort!
"Lifeless Sword Art, slash!"
Dao Lord Immortal Sword's blood qi burst forth as his sword buzzed and trembled. He conjured a sword art with one hand and swung his sword with the other, slashing down fiercely at the incoming fireball!
Boom!
The Samadhi Dao Fire was split into pieces by that slash!
"Not good! Even the Samadhi Dao fire can't defend against the sharpness of the immortal sword!" Dao Lord Scarlet Star's expression changed as he sensed something amiss.
Su Zimo focused his gaze.
He could clearly see that Dao Lord Extreme Fire's Dharmic arts had not stopped even after the Samadhi Dao Fire was destroyed by Dao Lord Immortal Sword!
The shattered flames floated towards Dao Lord Immortal Sword.
When it arrived, it gathered together and formed another Samadhi Dao fire!
Many Dao Lords were in an uproar!
His fire taming skills astounded everyone!
Su Zimo was momentarily stunned as well - to think that fire techniques could be manipulated to that extent!
Even the bystanders were surprised and astonished, let alone Dao Lord Immortal Sword who was directly involved in the situation.
He destroyed the Samadhi Dao fire with a single slash. Before he could retract his sword, a ball of Samadhi Dao fire had already arrived before him!
Although the flame was now much smaller than before, it was still fatal!
It was too late for him to retract his sword!
"Lifeless Sword Body!"
Dao Lord Immortal Sword roared and a gigantic phantom shot out from his body, bursting forth with endless sword qi that destroyed the Samadhi Dao Fire before him instantly!
Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic!
At this point of the battle, what surprised everyone was the fact that Dao Lord Immortal Sword was disadvantaged and was forced to release his Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic!
"89 feet, it's already infinitely close to 90 feet!"
"Impressive. Back when the Immortal Sword obtained number one on the Dharma Characteristic Ranking, this Dharma Characteristic was only 85 feet tall. To think that it has grown to 89 feet!"
"I reckon there's a high chance he would be able to cultivate a 90 feet tall Dharma Characteristic!"
"The outcome of this battle is probably going to depend on the clash of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristics."
As the Dao Lords discussed, the gigantic Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic revealed its sharpness and charged towards Dao Lord Extreme Fire like an unsheathed sword.
Boom!
A loud bang echoed from Dao Lord Extreme Fire's body as well.
A gigantic phantom appeared above his head and rose rapidly. It was scarlet red and burned with raging flames, emitting a scorching aura!
The expressions of many Dao Lords changed gradually with grim expressions.
They suddenly realized that the Dharma Characteristic before them seemed to be half a head taller than Dao Lord Immortal Sword's Dharma Characteristic!
"This Dharma Characteristic…"
"Heavens, 90 feet tall!"
"A Supreme Dharma Characteristic!"
Nine was an extreme number and a Dharma Characteristic that was 90 feet tall could be considered as a Supreme Dharma Characteristic no matter which type it was!
"Extreme Fire, what a surprise! Seems like you're prepared to teach your juniors a lesson!"
Dao Lord Divine Moon of Soaring Feather Sect could not help but exclaim.
"90 feet, Supreme Dharma Characteristic?"
Dao Lord Cloud Rain's eyes widened in disbelief.
5,000 years ago, Dao Lord Extreme Fire's Dharma Characteristic was only 80 feet tall and was similar to his.
How did Dao Lord Extreme Fire's Dharma Characteristic reach such a terrifying realm after 5,000 years despite losing his physical body?!
Everyone thought that Dao Lord Extreme Fire's combat strength would definitely decline after he lost his body and was now in his later years after his peak.
However, apart from Su Zimo, no one knew how Dao Lord Extreme Fire managed to survive the past 5,000 years!
In the depths of the cold lake, Dao Lord Extreme Fire fought against that unknown poison alone for 5,000 years!
It would have been fine if Dao Lord Extreme Fire had died.
Now that he was reborn, his Essence Spirit had long turned incomparably pure under that unimaginable tempering, reaching a terrifying degree.
It had even surpassed the Dharma Characteristic realm!
Even if Dao Lord Immortal Sword did not challenge him, Extreme Fire would have fought him!
Extreme Fire wanted to make use of Dao Lord Immortal Sword to take the most important step!
