I Can See Your Combat Power-Chapter 1847 - 278: Reborn Through Facing Death

Gu Han is very strong, that’s an undeniable fact.

Unlike many cases where the reputation of righteous path cultivators is undeserved, someone like him, a remnant of the Blood Tower, has earned his reputation through sheer combat.

Whether faced with the encirclement of the Dutian Heavenly King’s patrol or the subsequent fall of Hanging Sky City, people could see the lively scenes of Corpse Monk, one of the two guardians of the Blood Tower.

Especially after the Battle of Chaochang, Corpse Monk achieved enlightenment with Yanshan’s guidance, transcending his obsession with becoming a Buddha, cleansing his Zen Heart, and awakening the Dueling White Hao Treasure Appearance.

Unlike the Esoteric Sect’s methods of forging golden bodies through Buddha light and wish power, Corpse Monk, with a clear Zen Heart after enlightenment, did not abandon his demonic cultivation. Instead, he spent ten years forging a golden body with corpse qi.

Within that rounded physique churns the resentment and corpse qi of countless beings.

Logically, such ferocious corpse qi would be enough to poison all spiritual bodies, but Gu Han, whose Buddha bones are stronger than relics, not only remains unaffected but also uses it as a method for body refinement. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The more corpse qi he absorbs, the stronger the tempering of Buddha bones becomes, though there is also great danger involved.

If the Buddha bones cannot withstand the corrosion of corpse qi, Gu Han will be overtaken by resentment, and even with a clear Zen Heart, he won’t escape death.

Conversely, if the Buddha bones can resist, and the Zen Heart remains steadfast, then this body refinement technique has almost no upper limit; as long as there is life, death does not cease.

Corpse qi is not only the residual toxin after life ends but also life’s attachment to the world.

If Gu Han were to have an adequately long lifespan, it could be certain that the strength of his Corpse Qi Golden Body could rival a king body.

Suddenly, Tang Luo somewhat understood why the Peeper of Prophecy was so important to Gu Han.

Because practicing such a dangerous method, without the means to foresee danger, would inevitably lead to death.

Unconsciously, Tang Luo began to admire Gu Han’s courage.

People are foolish, and even among cultivators, it’s hard to be an exception. The courage to fight to the last in the initial realm usually fades as one reaches a certain level, and then they become apprehensive.

Even if some know they are on a path without a future, merely wasting time, unable to avoid becoming a desolate shell after hundreds of years, they still can’t muster the courage to change, preserving their miserable existence while pretending to cultivate diligently daily, trying to deceive themselves, deceive the world.

But Gu Han is different, according to secular standards, the fat monk is strong enough.

Magic skin, Buddha bones, clear Zen Heart, the white flame between his eyebrows, minor mastery of the Peeper of Prophecy.

Corpse Qi Golden Body, Thirty-Six Resentment Ink Lotus, Boundless Ghostly Arhat Divine Soul.

Any one of these is a peerless secret technique sought by the world, and any single one can produce a Martial Ancestor-level warrior.

Even within a sect, Gu Han is extremely competitive; if he were to follow universal standards, he should choose a more relaxed path now.

Why take the risks of life and death to strive for further mastery of divine powers?

The Grandmaster realm is already the pinnacle of combat power in Xiehe. Isn’t it better to enjoy life comfortably for two hundred years?

Sometimes, persistently crashing into a wall is just obsession; knowing when to stop is life’s wisdom.

Such truths are not beyond Gu Han, but Corpse Monk, he scorns them!

Transforming into a stream of green light darting towards the Heavenly Patrol Divine Vessel, is the unstoppable spirit of the Blood Tower’s guardian. His bloated body contracts in the escape light, and the process of his flesh becoming lean is extraordinarily shocking.

The overwhelming corpse qi and resentment converge beneath Gu Han’s feet. The Ink Lotus manifests, spawning thirty-six petals, each pitch-black, but this time, the remnant souls of six poisons and six resentments are no longer visible.

Gu Han, with a clear Zen Heart, has altered the method of accumulating corpse qi. Once, he traveled the world to find people consumed by greed, wrath, ignorance, arrogance, doubt, and resentment, using them to enhance the power of the Thirty-Six Resentment Ink Lotus.

But now, wherever he goes, he offers rites for those who died unjustly, chanting scriptures for joyful funerals. A graveyard teeming with ghostly qi transforms into a harmonious place of mountains and rivers with bird song and floral fragrances, wherever Gu Han visits.

Unlike other Zen masters, who banish evil while exorcising, Gu Han integrates those corpse poisons and resentments into his golden body, using Buddha bones and Zen Heart to purify their wrath.

When resentment is purified, only reluctance and attachment remain. Now, while the Ink Lotus is no longer as ferocious as before, it is much purer.

And in martial arts, purity usually equates to strength.

A Buddha bones radiating Boundless Ghostly Arhat Divine Soul merging into a golden body, stepping on the Ink Lotus, Corpse Monk seemingly knows he only has one chance, eager to use everything he’s learned in life.

A jet-black Buddha Lotus blooms in the azure sky. Thirty-six lotus petals transform into thirty-six strands of death qi, each standing on the threshold of three transformations, the entry point of a Superior Spirit Art.

Such an offensive, if used as an ambush, could be enough to vaporize an unsuspecting grandmaster, but unfortunately, he faces the fully-ready main Department Divine Vessel.

The Garrison Commanders standing on the deck have long noticed the menacing green light. As the Ink Lotus blooms in the sky, these warriors enhanced by the King’s patrol simultaneously unleashed their proud Spirit Arts.

In the world of magic, nothing is easy, where the law of the jungle, betrayal, and treachery are commonplace. Martial artists growing up in such environments may have radical personalities and moral depravity, but in martial arts, only the underestimated ’act sheep eat tiger.’ There’s never been a reputation that didn’t match reality.

And the martial artists at the peak of Fierce Realm’s combat power, which wouldn’t have a kill move or two?

Among the fifty or so Garrison Commanders on the deck of the Heavenly Patrol Divine Vessel, none would be Gu Han’s match in solo combat, but they wouldn’t be taken down with just a few moves either.

Having long been accustomed to danger, they even sleep with one eye open. Their response speed to the Ink Lotus explosion is faster than the guard squad, as dozens of uniquely styled Spirit Arts counterattack the strands of death qi, vibrant spiritual light exploded in the sky like fireworks, the shockwave making the universe quiver, shaking even the Three Mountains and Five Peaks.

Tang Luo covered his face with his hand, unable to bring himself to watch the scene that followed.

Where is the most troublesome point in fighting against many with few?

That would be that you are subjected to endless attacks; the damage of these attacks is one thing, their effects another.

If Gu Han’s first round of attacks could cause battle damage to the Heavenly Patrol Divine Vessel, then perhaps an exchange might still be possible. But the Ink Lotus explosion being suppressed without harm by this group of Garrison Commanders makes the outcome of the following battle quite clear.

More than fifty Garrison Commanders united and surrounded Corpse Monk, the Spirit Arts brewing in their hands relentlessly barraging him, the cabins on the Divine Vessel open, and An Jingtian, with four pairs of wings, joins the fight.

Watching Corpse Monk being bombarded to the point of swaying left and right, unable to stabilize his figure, Tang Luo’s forehead is full of black lines.

What makes you pretend to be so ostentatious with such level of cultivation?

"Command and dissolve, return to the primordial universe!"
