Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
Lin Dong unleashed the "Six Harmonies Dragon Fist" using his Dharma Heaven Buddha Phase, severely injuring Tian Sha. Tian Sha attempted to use his Space Transfer Technique to escape, but Lin Dong's domain suppressed his abilities. Lin Dong then revealed his third and most powerful Law of Heaven and Earth: the Dharma Heaven Buddha Demon Form, creating a domain that further suppressed Tian Sha and prepared for a final confrontation.
Lin Dong trembled, his form suffused with Buddha's light and demonic Qi, appearing like a divine-demonic entity descending upon the mortal realm.
"Boom!"
With a casual gesture, he unleashed an attack.
This strike, a fusion of profound Dharma compassion and untamed demonic ferocity, represented his pursuit of supreme power and the inner conflict between good and evil.
Upon witnessing this, Tian Sha's pupils contracted sharply. The crimson defensive barrier he'd erected instantly intensified, attempting to repel the unprecedented assault.
However, the sheer force contained within the Dharma Heaven Buddha Demon Form far surpassed his wildest estimations.
Lin Dong’s hands moved in intricate seal gestures as he chanted ancient incantations. Each spoken word resonated, sending golden and black ripples through the air, colliding with a thunderous roar.
"Om mani padme hum!" As the final syllable echoed, a colossal figure materialized between heaven and earth—a being half Buddha, half demon. In its grasp, it formed a massive war-gong, born from pure conviction and unbridled desire.
With a sweeping arc of this gong, imbued with both purifying and destructive energies, it slammed into Tian Sha’s blood-red defenses.
"Bang!" A deafening explosion erupted. The crimson shield, akin to brittle glass, instantly spiderwebbed with cracks before shattering with a violent boom.
An overwhelming force pierced through Tian Sha’s Protective True Qi, striking his internal organs. His body, like a wounded bird caught in a gale, flew backward uncontrollably, smashing through numerous colossal ancient trees before crashing heavily into the dust-laden ground.
He attempted to rise, but his chest felt crushed beneath an immense weight. Each labored breath brought agonizing pain, and he coughed up fresh blood.
Lin Dong advanced slowly, each measured step seeming to press down upon Tian Sha's heart, instilling a profound sense of dread and despair.
"Tian Sha, you previously dismissed my Law of Heaven and Earth as mediocre. What do you think of it now?"
Lin Dong's voice was calm yet commanding, each syllable landing like a judge's gavel, striking deep into Tian Sha's very soul.
Tian Sha’s face drained of color, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He gazed at his opponent, a figure utterly transformed from their past encounters, his heart a turmoil of conflicting emotions.
Indeed, Lin Dong's Dharma Heaven Buddha Demon Form far eclipsed any such manifestation Tian Sha had ever witnessed. It was a state bordering on the Dao, embodying Lin Dong’s deep comprehension of existence, the cosmos, and the duality of morality.
At this moment, Tian Sha lacked the very strength to utter a word. He could only watch Lin Dong helplessly, his eyes reflecting a mixture of resignation and a strange sense of peace.
He acknowledged his defeat, utterly convinced of its finality.
The sheer might of the Dharma Heaven Buddha Demon Form had annihilated his final vestiges of hope.
His countenance now bore a look of resolute determination, his gaze burning with the last embers of an unyielding spirit.
Confronted by Lin Dong's nigh-invincible power and his own insignificance in the grand tapestry of the world, an unprecedented sense of awe surged within him.
Yet, even so, the thought of resistance did not entirely abandon him, for he was one of the Three Corpses serving the Blood Clan's Young Master, bound by a mission that transcended life and death.
"I have no choice but to ignite my Lifebound Essence Blood!" Tian Sha's voice was a low, resolute murmur, each word seeming to emanate from the deepest recesses of his soul.
For the Blood Clan, Lifebound Essence Blood serves as the wellspring of existence, the bedrock of power, and the key to unlocking latent potential within one's lineage.
As one of the Blood Clan Young Master's Three Corpses, the blood coursing through Tian Sha's veins was not solely his own; it contained a portion of the shared Lifebound Essence Blood of the Young Master.
This potent Essence Blood granted him extraordinary might and abilities, even after separation from the primary being, allowing him to act as the Young Master's eyes, ears, and even a formidable blade as they navigated the world.
However, Tian Sha found himself at an insurmountable impasse.
He fully comprehended that his current strength was utterly insufficient to contend with Lin Dong's Dharma Heaven Buddha Demon Form.
Thus, he resolved to gamble everything, igniting his Lifebound Essence Blood to unleash the Blood Clan's most forbidden and potent technique.
Only through this desperate measure might he stand a chance against Lin Dong!
Tian Sha closed his eyes, drawing a deep, encompassing breath as if to draw all ambient energy into his very being.
A faint aura of Blood Qi began to emanate from him, a clear signal that his Lifebound Essence Blood was on the verge of combustion. Every cell within his body quivered, and every blood vessel roared with an awakened intensity.
A deep growl resonated from Tian Sha’s chest, his Lifebound Essence Blood seemingly ignited, morphing into a surging force that coursed through his Meridians and converged in his palm.
At this critical juncture, Tian Sha's breathing underwent a seismic shift, his eyes blazing crimson, and a bone-chilling pressure radiated from his being.
He no longer resembled one of the Three Corpses but had transformed into an ancient, formidable entity, a terrifying powerhouse capable of commanding life and death, of reversing the very fabric of Qian Kun.
This was Tian Sha’s ultimate trump card, the power coalesced from the sacrifice of his Lifebound Essence Blood, enabling him to unleash the Blood Clan’s most forbidden technique in a desperate bid for a sliver of life force.
In that profound instant, Tian Sha’s gaze pierced through an endless expanse of darkness, touching upon the archaic and profound mysteries held within the Blood Clan’s lineage.
He was acutely aware that this step signaled an irreversible path, yet no other recourse presented itself. Confronting Lin Dong’s perpetually bright and boundless future, and his own diminishing presence in the vast expanse of Heaven and Earth, Tian Sha made his irrevocable decision.
Closing his eyes, Tian Sha focused intently, Blood Qi swirling around him as if ancient Runes were awakening within his essence. These Runes embodied ancestral memories flowing through his Bloodline, the forbidden technique passed down through countless generations of the Blood Clan.
He drew a deep breath, his Lifebound Essence Blood beginning to boil like an inferno, an indescribable fusion of agony and power surging towards his heart.
The forbidden technique he employed was named "Blood Moon Soul Devouring."
This ranks among the Blood Clan’s most severely restricted, yet incredibly potent, Spells, a ritual only dared by those on the precipice of life and death.
As its name suggests, Blood Moon Soul Devouring possesses the power to summon a crimson full moon, imbued with immense Blood Qi and a horrifying capacity to consume souls.
Beneath the spectral glow of this full moon, the Souls of all living beings become unnervingly vulnerable, as if ensnared by an unseen tether, ultimately being drawn into the Blood Moon and annihilated into nothingness.
Fueled by the immolation of Tian Sha’s Lifebound Essence Blood, a peculiar crimson cloud gradually materialized in the Sky, heralding the slow ascent of a Blood Moon. Its hue was akin to dyed ink, its lines distorted, appearing as though a chorus of howls and struggles from myriad lost souls were etched upon its surface.
Under the influence of the Blood Moon, even the very fabric of space seemed to warp and contort under its power, time itself appeared to freeze, and even Lin Dong felt a subtle, pervasive pressure.
It was a disquieting tremor originating from the depths of his Soul, a sensation that his very existence was being subjected to the scrutiny of some ancient, overwhelmingly powerful force.
Tian Sha's form appeared remarkably diminutive beneath the ominous Blood Moon; however, at that moment, his figure slowly ascended, positioning himself directly beneath its malevolent glow.
"Lin Dong, prepare yourself. Let us now engage in a battle of life and death!"
