Xu Zimei tricks the Lord of the Dead Spirits with his three-corpse technique. After a prolonged, month-long stalemate, Xu Zimei begins to experiment with fusing his divine and demonic skills during the battle.
Among the Demonic Ten Skills, the Illusory Demon Technique may be unified with the Eyes of Reincarnation, one of the Ten Divine Methods.
The Eyes of Reincarnation manifest a third eye upon the forehead, endowing the wielder with the power to ensnare individuals within the cycle of rebirth.
Concurrently, the Illusory Demon Technique is designed to craft an elusive illusion capable of bewildering even the most enlightened.
This technique employs supreme illusionary arts to entrap its targets.
When the principles of illusion and reincarnation are melded together.
At this precise juncture, Xu Zimei drew profound inspiration from this concept.
He swiftly formed intricate hand seals, unleashing a torrent of formidable divine energy that radiated from his being.
Indeed, the Ten Divine Methods are inherently characterized by their overwhelming divine might.
A resounding "boom" echoed through the air.
A novel eye materialized precisely in the center of Xu Zimei's forehead.
From this emergent eye, a cataclysmic force began to surge.
With another explosive "boom."
Within the expanse of the heavens and earth, no remnant of the encroaching black fog could elude the penetrating gaze of the Eyes of Reincarnation.
Initially, Xu Zimei had been incapable of discerning the true form of the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
This was due to the adversary's covert presence hidden within the dense black fog.
Now, armed with the Eyes of Reincarnation, he could readily perceive the opponent's silhouette.
Furthermore, the efficacy of this technique extended beyond mere sight.
Within the Eyes of Reincarnation, the divine might first amplified the potency of reincarnation, followed by the deployment of an overwhelming influx of demonic qi.
The illusions conjured by the demonic qi underwent ceaseless evolution.
At this moment, Xu Zimei's physical form dissolved, vanishing amidst the generated illusion.
If the Lord of the Dead Spirits could conceal himself, then certainly he could as well.
An additional "boom" reverberated.
The formidable power emanating from the Eyes of Reincarnation stirred the very fabric of existence, churning within the black fog, transforming the ethereal mist into tempestuous rains.
The Lord of the Dead Spirits exhibited a slight furrowing of his brow.
He found himself perplexed by the sudden surge in Xu Zimei's power.
He initiated his own series of hand seals.
His pervasive black fog began to coalesce, mounting a defense against the escalating power of the Eyes of Reincarnation.
Instantly, the world was thrown into chaos, the heavens turned bleak, and innumerable shrouds of black fog descended upon Xu Zimei like a meteor shower.
However, in the wake of the Eyes of Reincarnation's radiant beam, all the black fog was forcefully dispersed.
Subsequently, Xu Zimei integrated the second of the Ten Divine Methods.
This second Divine Method is known as the Swastika of Ayya.
The term 'Ayya' denotes a profound abyssal realm, while the 'Swastika' is a technique originally unleashed by the Ghost Tribe.
Now, the Swastika of Ayya began to take a tangible form.
Xu Zimei imbued it with the essence of the second technique from the Demonic Ten Skills, the Ghost Demon Technique.
This particular Ghost Demon Technique is specifically designed to counter Grievance Ghosts and Malevolent Spirits.
Given that this Netherworld Realm serves as the domain of the departed, it naturally holds a connection to the Ghost Gods.
At this critical juncture, the Swastika in Xu Zimei's grasp started to solidify.
The immense power it wielded was no longer solely derived from the might of Hell but was also heavily infused with potent demonic qi.
One after another, spectral demons emerged from its depths.
All of them were drawn into the vortex of the Swastika.
Instantly, with Xu Zimei at its epicenter, the surroundings transformed into a veritable land of Hell.
An uncountable legion of Ghost Demons blotted out the sky.
At first glance, the apparition of the Ghost Gods seemed infinite.
Yet, with another swift glance, the Ghost Gods vanished without a trace, leaving behind only the formidable Swastika.
This Swastika possessed an eternal quality, as immutable as the ancient times.
It carved a direct path through all opposition.
In a fleeting moment of brilliance, an eternal silence descended upon everything.
The Swastika had already materialized before the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
Unable to evade it in time, the Lord of the Dead Spirits raised his hands, summoning an endless torrent of black fog skyward.
Simultaneously, his own physical form dissipated.
He transmuted into black fog, merging with the surrounding miasma.
Concurrently, the nearly boundless power unleashed by the Swastika of Ayya finally detonated.
Resembling a colossal mushroom cloud, it violently shook the entirety of the World of Black Mist, causing it to tremble for an extended duration.
"How truly interesting!"
The Lord of the Dead Spirits emerged, soaring from the heart of the mushroom cloud.
However, the black fog enveloping him had diminished significantly, a clear testament to the Swastika of Ayya's potent effect.
No longer willing to passively observe, the Lord of the Dead Spirits launched a direct assault on Xu Zimei, seeking to seize the initiative.
But Xu Zimei was already prepared, poised to retaliate.
He prepared to unleash the third of the Ten Divine Methods.
This Divine Method is known as the Sutra Trilogy, comprising the Present Tathagata Scripture, the Sutra of Maitreya Past, and the Sutra of the Unborn Future.
This particular Divine Method encompasses three distinct techniques.
It represents the past, the present, and the future, resonating powerfully with the concept of dividing the Three Corpses.
Xu Zimei meticulously aligned these three Divine Methods, integrating the Human Demon Technique from the Demonic Ten Skills.
The so-called Human Demon Technique is specifically aimed at ensnaring sentient beings.
Of all entities within existence, only truly living beings possess a past, a present, and a future.
And among the Demonic Ten Skills, the Human Demon Technique is the one that most closely mirrors humanity.
At this precise moment, countless "humans" materialized in the firmament.
These constructs, referred to as humans, were brought into being by the Human Demon Technique.
Although they were not genuine human beings.
Nevertheless, owing to the Sutra Trilogy Divine Method, they were endowed with a future.
A unique effect emerged from this amalgamation.
As the ancient saying states: one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all myriad things.
In this instant, countless phantom echoes of Xu Zimei materialized across the vast expanse of the firmament.
Each replicated image possessed a tangible and potent existence.
This was no mere illusion.
Every afterimage was imbued with the formidable power of Xu Zimei.
Upon witnessing this spectacle, the Lord of the Dead Spirits displayed a slight furrowing of his brow.
Such a development presented a considerable degree of difficulty for him.
Particularly as these illusory duplicates seemed to be without end.
He presented his right hand in a classic Buddhist gesture of salutation, while his other hand formed a decree of authority.
The sleeves of his somber, black robe billowed outwards.
They extended forward menacingly.
Within the confines of his sleeve existed the principles of Yin and Yang, a void capable of encompassing all, akin to a miniature universe.
At this precise moment, the encroaching black mist roared like a tempestuous gale, whipping the clouds into a frenzy and transforming into a swirling vortex, intent on drawing everything into the universe contained within his sleeve.
And all of Xu Zimei's myriad afterimages, no matter how numerous, were drawn into its depths.
The two combatants engaged in a fierce technological duel, their techniques clashing and countering each other in a rare and breathtaking display.
Observing the Human Demon Technique in continuous opposition to the sleeve-bound universe.
Xu Zimei initiated another fusion, bringing his techniques together once more.
This time, his integration involved not merely a single Divine Method.
But an amalgamation of three distinct Divine Methods.
These comprised the Heaven-Shaking Power, the Law of Heaven and Earth, and the Divine Demon Visualization Method.
Furthermore, as these three Divine Methods were methodically refined, three of the Demonic Ten Skills concurrently merged into a singular, potent force.
These specific three Demonic Ten Skills constituted the Demon Monster Technique.
The so-called Demon Monster Technique encapsulates the very essence of wood, stone, avian life, and beasts.
Throughout ancient history, the physical forms of demons and monsters were acknowledged as the most robust and resilient.
Should humans refrain from cultivation, even a contingent of ten would prove no match for a single demon or monster in direct combat.
What humanity has historically taken pride in, across the ages, is its profound intellect.
It is this attribute that elevates humans, bestowing upon them a perceived nobility and distinctiveness.
The Demon Monster Technique finds its correlation with the Law of Heaven and Earth.
The second among the Demonic Ten Skills is identified as the Divine Demon Technique.
Its purpose is to foster avarice and to nourish the inner being.
The Divine Demon lies concealed deep within the core of the Divine Soul.
It achieves unity with the Divine Demon Visualization Chart.
The final technique, the Heaven-Shaking Power, aligns with the Heavenly Demon Technique.
This particular skill is renowned as the Challenger of the Heavens.
The Heavenly Demon and the Heaven-Shaking Power form a complementary pair.
At this decisive moment, the three Divine Methods converged, birthing a spectacle of unparalleled wonder.
The fabric of Heaven and Earth provided a physical form, the Divine Demon Visualization Chart supplied a spiritual essence, and the Heaven-Shaking Power contributed overwhelming might.
Within the heart of each Divine Method resided the unyielding fortitude of the Demonic Ten Skills.
A colossal figure ascended from the heavens, its imposing presence radiating immense and awe-inspiring power.
As this colossal entity manifested, it effortlessly crushed the encroaching black mist and delivered a devastating punch to the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
The giant's thunderous roar echoed through the realms, causing the very black fog to churn and ripple with even the slightest disturbance.
