Five Great Dharma Bodies, Domination in Sight

Chapter 375 The Five Great Dharma Bodies, Domination in Sight

It gazed silently at the eternal body that had already bowed to Lu Yu, then looked at Lu Yu again, its voice carrying a rare, almost blessing-like quality: "I hope you will make good use of this body, live up to the legacy of the Great Emperor, and protect the Great Thousand Worlds."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's expression turned serious, and he clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Senior, rest assured, Lu Yu will certainly live up to your expectations."

After speaking, he had a slight thought. The two eternal bodies beside him, which also flowed with immortal luster, transformed into two dazzling streams of light and flashed into the Holy Pagoda in his dantian, where they were carefully stored and nurtured in the core space of the pagoda.

Seeing that it did not use its Eternal Body to absorb the source, but instead retracted its Dharma Body, the outline formed by the purple-gold light rippled slightly, as if revealing a hint of curiosity.

"This primordial sea was formed by the accumulation of tens of thousands of years in this place. Although it was slightly damaged by that fake, it is still a rare and precious creation."

The tower spirit's ancient voice rang out again, tinged with inquiry, "May I ask how you intend to use it, young friend? Will you draw upon the source energy to refine your spiritual power and break through your cultivation bottleneck in one fell swoop, or will you use the source energy to temper your body and forge an even stronger physique?"

In its view, such a vast source of immortality, no matter which path Lu Yu chooses, would be enough to give him a qualitative leap in strength.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu smiled slightly but did not answer directly. He raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the vast sea of ​​purple-gold light, a more profound scheme flashing in his eyes.

"I am deeply grateful for Senior Tower Spirit's gift. As for how to use it—"

He paused, then said clearly and firmly, "This junior wishes to use it to nourish another Dharma body."

Before the tower spirit could respond, Lu Yu had already formed a hand seal.

hum!

An aura, completely different from any of his previous Dharma bodies, more restrained yet also more profound and vast, rose from his body.

In an instant, a massive illusory Dharma body slowly emerged and solidified behind him.

This Dharma body is as clear and bright as crystal, its translucency containing boundless depth. There is no halo behind it, only a myriad of ever-changing, colorful lights, silently interwoven with vast energy.

A dark gold vertical mark is quietly imprinted between his brows, exuding an extreme sharpness and ancient charm that cuts through all things and influences the flow of time.

It was Lu Yu who used "Buddha" as the foundation, fused together various origins, and created his own innate Dharma body, the Myriad Calamities Buddha Body!

At this moment, the moment the Myriad Tribulations Floating Pagoda appeared, it seemed to have a wondrous connection with this vast and immortal sea of ​​origin.

The ever-changing, multicolored light behind it suddenly accelerated, radiating a strong desire and a sense of devouring.

Lu Yu's gaze swept over the almost endless purple-gold immortal primordial light spots promised by the Tower Spirit, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Go forth, this is the resource for your further advancement!"

Driven by his thoughts, the Myriad Calamities Pagoda Body opened its arms, and the myriad colors of light behind it suddenly expanded, transforming into an invisible yet enormous vortex!

Splash!

The entire purple-gold Immortal Origin Sea suddenly churned violently, and countless dazzling purple-gold light spots, like rivers flowing into the sea, transformed into thick streams of purple-gold light, continuously surging into the myriad colors of light behind the Myriad Calamities Pagoda!

The Myriad Calamities Floating Body frantically devoured this sea of ​​immortal origin, its crystal body becoming increasingly solid and dazzling. The dark gold vertical mark between its brows flowed with an even more profound sense of time, faintly exuding a majestic aura that suppressed all laws and melted the heavens and earth.

It is evolving, it is transforming, and it is moving towards a higher and stronger level!

The tower spirit's purple-gold light and shadow floated quietly to the side. At first, it was out of curiosity, then it turned into a sense of realization, and finally it returned to silent observation.

It understood Lu Yu's choice. Rather than simply improving his cultivation or tempering his physical body, this young Saint-level expert chose to infuse this fortune into his own unique path, full of infinite possibilities.

This act of "nurturing" the Dharma body clearly has a far more profound purpose.

Lu Yu, meanwhile, closed his eyes and focused his mind, carefully guiding the absorption of this massive amount of immortal essence, feeling the delightful changes that were happening to his Myriad Tribulations Floating Pagoda Body every moment.

His aura also became deeper and heavier, as if it were gradually merging into this immortal world.

With the infusion of massive amounts of primordial energy, the aura of the Myriad Calamities Floating Pagoda Body rose steadily, and the dark golden vertical mark between its brows shone with unprecedented brilliance.

Within the vertical lines, countless tiny fragments of light and shadow flicker and fade, not an ordinary sight, but rather fragments of time dancing and colliding, emitting a unique rhythm that transcends time and stirs the soul.

Lu Yu closed his eyes and concentrated, his mind completely immersed in the transformation of his Dharma body. The insights gained from a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation resonated and merged with the immortal origin and the true meaning of "time" contained within the body itself, which had undergone countless eons of transformation, in an unprecedented way.

Countless profound insights about "time" surged into my mind like a tide.

He felt as if he were once again standing in that invisible yet omnipresent river of time, feeling its ceaseless power, and also capturing, at certain mysterious junctures, a barely perceptible, reverse ripple spreading across the river—

At a certain moment, the light of the vertical mark between the eyebrows of the Myriad Calamities Floating Pagoda reached its peak, and an indescribable, strange fluctuation that seemed to be able to influence the trajectory of all things suddenly spread out!

hum!

The light in the core area twisted and overlapped for a moment, blurring the boundary between past and present.

Lu Yu suddenly opened his eyes, dark golden patterns swirling in his pupils, his gaze calm and profound.

He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward, fingers loosely clenched. There was no gathering of violent spiritual energy, but a tiny, slowly rotating dark golden vortex naturally appeared in his palm.

The vortex is filled with a hazy interplay of light and shadow, as if something is "regressing" against its predetermined trajectory, emanating a strange rhythm that soothes wounds and reverses states.

"The Body of Eternal Floating Life, the Fourth Supreme Divine Power—"

Lu Yu spoke in a low voice, his tone carrying a calmness that suggested he had grasped some fundamental mystery: "Tracing back through time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed his left hand and made a cut on his right arm, instantly creating a deep, bone-revealing wound. Blood gushed out, and the wound, imbued with sacred spiritual power, stubbornly resisted healing.

Immediately afterwards, the counter-clockwise rotating dark golden vortex in his right palm gently covered the wound.

A strange thing happened!

Blood flowed back from the wound, but the skin, flesh, and bones were instantly restored, and the depleted spiritual energy and vitality returned as if in reverse. In just two breaths, the right arm was completely healed.

This is not just about healing, but about "reverting" the local condition to its perfect state before the injury.

Lu Yu turned his gaze to a purple-gold light spot and pressed down with his right hand. Dark gold ripples spread out, and the light spot quickly dimmed and shrank. Its inner essence became thin and unstable, as if it had been forcibly pushed back to a weaker past stage.

"Reversing Time" can reverse one's state to recover from injuries; against an enemy, it can "push" their power back to a weaker past, weakening their cultivation and slowing their reactions. It can be described as an extremely domineering supreme divine power.

At this point, the Myriad Tribulations Floating Pagoda Body possesses all four supernatural powers:

The Forbidden Pagoda primarily suppresses, the Undying Divine Fire primarily devours, the Blade of Time primarily accelerates erosion, and the Rewinding Time primarily restores and weakens.

Meanwhile, the tower spirit, observing all of this, was surrounded by shimmering light, and a look of undisguised shock flashed in its eyes.

It clearly sensed that the profound mystery of "Tracing Time" and the mastery of the power of time were in no way inferior to the thirty-six peerless divine abilities that have been passed down through the ages in the vast world, and were enough to be on par with the supreme divine abilities unique to those ancient and original Dharma bodies!

This means that although the Myriad Tribulations Floating Body was not born of heaven and earth, it has already entered the realm of the same level as the Original Dharma Body in terms of "quality" by relying on its unique supernatural power system!

As Lu Yu felt the surging spiritual energy within his body and the vast and perfect meaning of the Myriad Tribulations Pagoda Body, his heart was filled with boundless pride.

While gathering the five Dharma Bodies is one of his grand ambitions to reach the highest level, this natal Dharma Body, forged from the insights of a hundred lifetimes and based on himself, is his true core foundation. Its power is equally unfathomable and is no weaker than any of his original Dharma Bodies!

not to mention----

Lu Yu's gaze seemed to pierce through the barriers of the Eternal Tower, reaching into the deepest, most fundamental part of the vast world.

Just moments before, as his Myriad Tribulations Floating Body underwent a complete transformation and his four great supernatural powers were fully integrated, he clearly sensed a faint yet supremely powerful summons!

The summons did not come from any specific entity or location, but rather from this ancient world itself, like an invisible list carrying the power of the world, which slightly lifted a corner of it for him.

He had already realized the truth.

If he is not mistaken, then it should be the supreme symbol of the vast world, which only the strongest who have reached a certain limit can perceive and attempt to communicate with—the Sky Ranking!

With his current foundation, his cultivation level as a Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme, his possession of two Primal Dharma Bodies, his control of four Saint-grade peerless sacred artifacts, and his Myriad Tribulations Floating Pagoda Body, which is comparable to a Primal Dharma Bodhi Body—

Such accumulation is already substantial enough, even surpassing Mu Chen in the original trajectory, and has already qualified to be recorded on the Sky Ranking!

"It's not the right time yet—"

The intense light in Lu Yu's eyes slowly faded, replaced by a profound sense of prudence and calm.

Although with his current strength and foundation, he is 70-80% confident that he can trigger a response from the Sky Ranking and even attempt to inscribe half of his true name, but—he cannot.

Not at least not now.

To rashly activate the Celestial Ranking and inscribe one's true name would cause a tremendous commotion. That immense fluctuation could very well alarm the Heavenly Evil God, who is still sealed in the Northern Wilderness Hills, yet secretly awaiting his opportunity to fully integrate into the Great Thousand World!

Although the current Heavenly Evil God is sealed, his will is probably not completely extinguished.

Once they sense that a new "half-step ruler" is about to be born in the vast world, it's hard to guarantee that they won't resort to desperate measures to speed up their escape, which is definitely not what Lu Yu wants to see.

He needs time, and he needs to improve his strength more steadily until he has accumulated enough strength to be able to climb the list in one fell swoop, directly engrave his full name, and completely step into that supreme realm!

By then, even if the Heavenly Evil God senses something, it will be too late.

With his mind made up, Lu Yu no longer hesitated. With a slight thought, the Myriad Tribulations Pagoda, whose aura was becoming increasingly vast and profound, transformed into a stream of light and entered his body.

He stood up, turned his gaze to the tower spirit's luminous image that had remained motionless to the side, and cupped his hands, saying, "Senior Tower Spirit, my gains this time have been complete, and I am ready to leave the tower. Would you be willing to accompany me?"

The tower spirit's purple-gold light silently watched Lu Yu, its shadow swaying slightly, as if sensing the last breath of this place it had guarded for tens of thousands of years. After a moment, the ancient, calm voice rang out: "My mission is complete; there is no point in me remaining here."

The outlines of light and shadow seemed to become more transparent and light, and continued, "Of course I can go with you to see what this vast world looks like now."

Upon hearing this, a hint of understanding and joy flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. This not only meant that he would have the assistance of an ancient being with profound knowledge and deep understanding.

More importantly, if he's right, this Eternal Tower, built by the Immortal Emperor himself, might serve as an anchor, providing him with another chance to simulate the past.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, senior." Lu Yu suppressed his thoughts and replied solemnly.

The tower spirit said no more. The purple-gold light and shadow slowly contracted and condensed, eventually transforming into an extremely small, exquisite pagoda phantom that flowed with purple-gold luster.

It was only the size of a fingernail, yet incredibly solid, and it gently sank into Lu Yu's brow, where he nurtured it deep within his dantian.

Meanwhile, the Pagoda of Wangu in the outside world also underwent dramatic changes.

hum!

At the summit, the weathered stone tower, which had been silent for who knows how long, suddenly emitted a deep hum.

On the tower, the ancient patterns lit up one by one, but it was not the gentle light that had greeted Lu Yu before, but a dazzling brilliance that seemed to draw away all power!

Under the horrified gazes of Futu Xuan, Tai Ming Lao Zu, Lin Xuan, and Mohe Ming, the majestic tower rapidly shrank, its light receding, and in a few breaths it transformed into a small, fist-sized physical tower shimmering with purple-gold spiritual light.

call out!

The small tower transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into Lu Yu's palm as he stepped out of the passage, instantly merging with the tower spirit phantom within his dantian.

As the radiance subsided, a miniature stone tower, barely an inch tall, appeared in Lu Yu's palm. Its mottled surface revealed faint purple-gold patterns, exuding a restrained and profound aura of immortality. The tower's spirit had merged with the tower's body, slumbering within.

The Pagoda of Eternity thus changed hands and was transformed into a portable spiritual relic.

"this----"

Elder Lin Xuan's aged eyes flashed with a sharp light. Even with his composure honed over ten thousand years of cultivation, a monstrous wave surged within him.

He had anticipated that Lu Yu might gain the Tower Spirit's approval, but the shock of witnessing the entire Eternal Tower transform into a sacred object and fall into Lu Yu's palm still exceeded his expectations.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and looked at Lu Yu with a complex expression. Finally, he spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of emotion and solemnity: "Holy Son Lu Yu—impressive methods. It seems that this trip to the tower has indeed gone as you wished."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu remained calm and nodded slightly to Lin Xuan, saying, "Senior, you flatter me. I have only gained a little."

His gaze swept over the ashen-faced and listless Mohe Ming in the distance, his eyes devoid of sorrow or joy.

The matter of the Mahagu tribe is settled; there is no need to stay here any longer.

"Now that this matter is settled, I must take my leave and return to the pavilion to secure what I have gained."

Lu Yu turned to Fu Tu Xuan and Tai Ming Ancestor, "Elder, Master Tai Ming, let's set off now."

Fu Tu Xuan and Tai Ming Lao Zu had no objections. They were also eager to know Lu Yu's specific experiences and gains inside the tower, and needed to discuss follow-up matters.

As for Qing Xuanjun, he had already returned to Lingbao Pavilion to take charge of the overall situation after the war ended.

The next moment, three streaks of light rose from the top of the solitary peak, ignoring the distraught Maha Ming below, and headed straight towards the Tianluo Continent.
