Chapter 764 The Path to Immortality: All Laws Extinct
Absolute power.

At this moment, the Azure-Eyed Garuda King's Dharma Body fully unfolded, its majestic golden form almost filling the entire dome protected by the Weak Water.

From his outstretched wings, streaks of white light burst forth, and chanting resounded through the void, proclaiming the majesty of this wise king.

However, a layer of shadowy light lingered around the Demon Lord in hemp clothing.

If at first the Demon Lord in Ma Yi only had some interest in Su Che, the situation is now completely different.

Destroy Cloud City, reveal your true form...

The price paid by the Azure-Eyed Garuda King was far too heavy, forcing the Hemp-Clad Demon Lord to deal with it carefully.

The conflict has quietly escalated.

In Buddhism, there is a concept of the Three Bodies: the Dharmakaya, the Sambhogakaya, and the Nirmanakaya.

The so-called Dharmakaya is like the Dao foundation that carries the innate spirit in the Xuanmen (Taoist school), and is the "manifestation" of its cultivation method.

Just like the magical beast manifested by the Azure-Eyed Garuda King at this moment.

The two wings on his back correspond to his origin as a Garuda bird. The Garuda bird, also known as the Golden-Winged Roc, is a famous divine bird in Buddhism. It feeds on Naga and dragons, possesses great supernatural powers, has a strong physical body, and is self-sufficient in its supernatural powers and prestige.

The twelve golden arms represent the twelve fundamental supernatural powers cultivated by the Azure-Eyed Garuda King: the Immovable Dragon-Elephant Mudra, the Wheel-Turning Wisdom Mandala, the Steadfastness Tantra, and the Myriad Practices of Lapis Lazuli Blessing Divine Transformation...

Although it lacks the fundamental blessing of Buddha's light, it is still a great supernatural power that can awe a region within Buddhism, and is the result of its cultivation over countless eons.

Its body resembles a lion, symbolizing unparalleled wisdom, courage, and bravery.

The so-called "retribution body" refers to the original form of the Azure-Eyed Garuda King, the golden-winged roc that spreads its wings in the void and chases after the dragon seed.

As for his incarnations, they are similar to the old monk form he manifested before, and the noble city lord form he usually takes are just fluid appearances, not the true manifestation of his inner self.

It's like a patch of shade on a high mountain. You might call it a mountain, and it is indeed part of the mountain scenery. But to say that the mountain is it is to generalize.

Among the three bodies, the Sambhogakaya is the root of cultivation, the Dharmakaya represents the fruit of cultivation, and the Nirmanakaya is the branch and leaf on the tree of cultivation, and the shadow under the tree.

At this moment, the manifestation of Garuda King's Dharma body represents the attitude of this great Buddhist master.

Go all out, leave no stone unturned.

The Demon Lord in Hemp Robes can only face him.

The biggest problem is the spatial scale.

When immortal beings clash, the amount of primordial energy they mobilize is almost limitless. The scale and scope of their battle are not only reflected in the laws of nature, but also cause turmoil over hundreds or even thousands of miles.

Although the Azure-Eyed Cloud City, currently covered by the Weak Water, has become a ruin, this area is far from sufficient for two opposing Immortals of Immortality to reside together.

The Demon Lord in Hemp Robes had no choice but to intervene, because, to use an inappropriate analogy, the current situation was like your enemy swatting a mosquito on your face.

You either watch him slap you, or you take the blow and say, "Thank you, you've had a hard time. It's okay, it doesn't matter if I didn't swat the mosquito."

At this moment, the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes had already put aside his interest in Su Che. The Azure-Eyed Garuda King had already revealed his Dharma body, and as a member of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon of the Demonic Sect, he had no choice but to respond.

A dark, ethereal energy emanated from him, carrying with it an inexplicable air of otherworldly grace.

He recited it, his voice ancient and desolate.

"Nine-story tower in the heavens, copper pillars lock the dragon. The dragon spits blood, frost freezes into ice pillars. I use this immortal destiny to ascend the tower and inquire about immortality. My trembling fingers turn to mud, my ankles reveal bones. My skin falls to the clouds, my tendons scatter on the rainbow cliff. My three souls are all in the void, my seven spirits leave the spiritual platform. The immortal opens the golden palace, letting me enter the tower."

A grand picture emerges from his recitation.

Right in front of the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes, a towering nine-story building had appeared out of nowhere. It was resplendent in gold and jade, radiating auspicious energy. However, the entire building was like a bound dragon, constantly twisting and turning in the light waves.

Those windows, adorned with gold and jade, resembled the pale fingernails of the dead, exuding a bloody, fleshy beauty. "The tower opens with three wondrous layers, granting the elixir of immortality. Once the elixir is complete and enters the abdomen, all five internal organs become immortal. Kidney water takes from the eyes, liver wood takes from the ears. Heart fire and lung metal steal from the tongue to exchange for wine. Spleen earth, with its virtuous nature, guards my teeth and nose. Metal and wood give rise to delusions, water and fire exert ruthless effort, together dividing this child's flesh, achieving a result comparable to heaven!"

As the chanting began, a transcendent power descended upon this place.

Like an immortal with a white cloth covering his face, he extends his scale-covered fingers from beneath a gray crane cloak, the eyeballs at his fingertips proclaiming boundless and transcendent possibilities.

Ascension to Immortality.

The Demon Lord in hemp robes unleashed his demonic attack techniques, while the Azure-Eyed Garuda King's physical body was now covered with a layer of dark dust.

Beneath that solemn and majestic image, it seemed as if countless maggots were writhing and gnawing.

Those were the immeasurable inner demons and endless demonic thoughts that he had suppressed for countless eons, which seemed to suddenly come back to life in this instant. They twisted and howled, responding.

They were responding to that twisted and otherworldly immortal.

Even the darkest thoughts and the most wretched fantasies seemed to have acquired independent personalities at this moment, like a group of ascetics who had gone astray, crying and wailing, they too wanted to become immortals.

"The Buddha saves all sentient beings, but he never saves you."

The Demon Lord in Hemp Robes grinned.

"I'm different; I'll save you all too!"

The calamity of demons has arrived.

The Azure-Eyed Garuda King gritted his teeth and persevered.

He was really feeling bad right now.

Although he achieved immortality, he did not delve deeply into the most fundamental Buddhist path of Buddha's Light. While he made great strides in the methods of movement and stillness, he still had shortcomings in spiritual cultivation.

His original purpose was to identify and address any shortcomings.

However, encountering the Six Desires Demon Lord at this moment unexpectedly triggered the inner demons he had suppressed.

Impossible, this is absolutely not something the Demon Lord in front of us could do.

If all the Six Desires Heavenly Demons of the Demonic Sect can do this, how can we possibly survive in this void?
The Demon Lord in Hemp Robes laughed heartily.

"How was the path to immortality left by my ancestor? Venerable Buddha, you should enjoy these lion-like insects to your heart's content."

He grinned menacingly.

The surrounding void is constantly changing.

"With sincere devotion, I take refuge in you, who dwells eternally through countless eons, whose influence is boundless, for all dharmas have an end, the supreme being whose spirit is annihilated, the one whose dharma is extinguished!"

A vast and powerful force emanated from the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes, his chilling laughter mingling with his sinister grin.

That was the satisfied laughter of a Lord of the End Times, high above the infinite void.

"Monk, you'll have a companion for your spiritual practice from now on. I'm off!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Ma Yi vanished like a shadow amidst the violent fluctuations of the void, disappearing beneath the void enveloped by the Weak Water.

At this moment, the Yin-Yang Dharma King breathed a sigh of relief and immediately used his supernatural powers to escape.

This man in hemp clothing managed to rescue Su Xiaozi.

However, if those emerald eyes were to lose their temper, the ancestor would not be able to handle it!
