King of Assassins
Chapter 1050 - 694: Endless Celestial Dragon_3
Lingxu has a benevolent appearance, yet she is the most ruthless among the Golden Body Arhats. The Buddhist Sect is actively expanding, and Lingxu is the most proactive.
Gao Xuan does not intend to judge the goodness or evil of Lingxu; purely in terms of ability, Lingxu should be the strongest among the four Golden Body Arhats.
However, Lingxu is already dead. Her character and abilities are as insignificant as dust.
What truly matters is Lingxu's cultivation memories.
Cultivation took up most of Lingxu's life. In her memories, Gao Xuan found the Asura King Dharma Secret Method, along with rich experience related to cultivation.
The Asura King Dharma Method is a very special secret method, not only complex and exquisite but also extremely painful to cultivate.
To obtain a trace of the Asura King Dharma Aspect's projection, one must enter the Eternal Hell with the divine soul and challenge endless evil ghosts and asuras.
Through countless battles and killings, the Eternal Hell Seal is refined. This seal can summon a trace of the Asura King's projection. Using the Eternal Hell Seal as a foundation, the Asura King Dharma Aspect is condensed.
The Asura King Dharma Aspect has a major issue with the Asura King's fondness for war and bloodlust. Cultivating the Asura King Dharma Aspect requires being warlike and bloodthirsty.
Lingxu had, over the past two thousand years, gone to the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons every decade for a wild massacre, nurturing the Asura King Dharma Aspect with supreme demon essence blood.
From this perspective, the Asura King Dharma Aspect is vastly different from other Buddhist Secret Techniques.
Gao Xuan studied it thoroughly and finally understood the profound mystery of the Asura King Dharma Aspect.
It turns out the unmatched martial skills come from the Asura King's projection. The projection effortlessly executing these martial skills nearly defeated Gao Xuan.
Even though Gao Xuan was somewhat unsatisfied with his loss, he had to acknowledge the prowess of the Asura King's martial skills.
However, this cultivation method is quite extreme. Gao Xuan is not afraid to enter the Eternal Hell; he's just afraid of attracting the real Asura King.
The Asura King, as a Buddhist Dharma King, is at least on the same level as the Ksitigarbha King, and possibly even stronger.
His divine soul power is unique, and entering the Eternal Hell recklessly might lead to unknown outcomes.
Fortunately, the Nether God Claw came in handy, preserving Lingxu's Eternal Hell Seal. With this seal, the Nether God Claw can also trigger the Asura King Dharma Aspect.
The Eternal Hell Seal is itself an unusually complex and exquisite secret method. Its strongest feature is its ability to corrupt the body and divine soul, effective against any creature.
The powerful corruption of the Infinite Hell Seal could be seen as the most terrifying poison between heaven and earth.
Even a slight contamination rendered dozens of arhats into pus and blood, demonstrating its terrifying power.
Especially when dealing with special creatures, the lethal toxin of the Eternal Hell Seal is very effective.
With the Eternal Hell Seal, it can also transform all filthy power.
Gao Xuan developed a strong interest in the Eternal Hell Seal after some study.
One must admit, the Eternal Hell Seal suits the Nether God Claw well.
Although the Nether God Claw is powerful with various wonderful uses, in the Immortal Realm, it's quite mediocre. Its Geng Metal Power, although sharp, is far surpassed by the Hongyi Sword.
Simply put, the Nether God Claw can only bully the weak; against true enemies, it can hardly be effective.
The Eternal Hell Seal solved the issue of the Nether God Claw's lack of attack power. At least it's extremely poisonous, and whoever gets scratched won't have a good time.
Gao Xuan weighed his options and poured the divine soul essence blood of dozens of arhats and the Four Great Golden Body Arhats into the Eternal Hell Seal.
With such immense power, the Eternal Hell Seal transformed into a Dark Gold Dharma Seal. Gao Xuan activated the Nether God Claw, merging the seal into its core.
From then on, the Eternal Hell became an inherent divine technique of the Nether God Claw.
The refining process was quite simple, with so much strong essence blood and divine soul support. The Eternal Hell Seal became permanently fixed in the core of the Nether God Claw, becoming an inseparable part.
Gao Xuan reforged the Nether God Claw and even considered trying it on himself to test the power of the Eternal Hell.
However, time was pressing, and getting hit might be problematic.
Suppressing this impulse, Gao Xuan turned to study the memories of Xuan Xiang.
This old man's thoughts were deep; he was both capable of fighting and killing, the undisputed Buddhist leader of the Northern Province.
If not for encountering him, Xuan Xiang might have become the overlord of the Northern Province. Unfortunately, the old man's fate was bitter.
Gao Xuan reviewed Xuan Xiang's memories, which were also full of legends. From Xuan Xiang's memories, Gao Xuan learned many secrets about the Northern Province.
This gave Gao Xuan an in-depth understanding of the Northern Province, and a clear recognition of the major powers and nations. This spared Gao Xuan countless troubles.
Xuan Xiang's Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Seal was also a highly superior Dharma Seal.
Like the Eternal Hell Seal, the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Seal involved summoning the original projection and using one's divine soul for nurturing and tempering, which allowed the refinement of a powerful Dharma Seal.
However, Xuan Xiang's Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Seal incorporated a piece of the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Scale. With this scale, the power of the seal greatly increased, transforming its nature into another state.
For cultivators, the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Seal could be seen as a Magical Artifact. Therefore, even if the divine soul was destroyed, the seal could still persist independently.
Of course, this is with the help of the Nether God Claw. Without it, Gao Xuan would have a hard time separating the seal from the divine soul or mastering the seal.
The Dharma Aspect triggered by the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Seal's strongest feature is the World-Ending True Flame.
The World-Ending True Flame can incinerate all things and burn away the divine soul. According to the Buddha, the grand world is entirely purified into emptiness by the World-Ending True Flame.
