Hogwarts Summoning Guide

What is Dharma Form? If you had asked Bai Lin a few months ago, he would have been completely clueless. Since transmigrating to this magical world, most of the power systems he had encountered were highly idealistic magic.

As for what kind of power magic is, Bai Lin roughly understands it as the ability to control natural elements and one's own emotional energy. For example, Thunder Explosion controls fire element energy, and Frost Arrow controls ice element energy, which is easy to understand;

The Killing Curse controls one's murderous intent, the Cruciatus Curse controls one's resentment, and the Guardian Curse controls one's emotions related to joy and happiness. This is a bit hard to explain, but it can still be explained.

Eastern magic is even more mysterious, especially the Taoist school, which emphasizes using the power of heaven and earth for one's own purposes. This is why there is a powerful move like Zhang Xuanyi's "Heavenly Thunder Tribulation". At the same time, mages can also accumulate the power of the five elements within their bodies to release spells. It is actually not a system of Western magic.

Whether it's the power of heaven and earth, the power of one's own five elements, or the disordered primordial energy of Bai Lin, they all need to flow according to a certain operating law within a mage's body. This is the legendary meridian. Of course, even if you dissect a mage's body thoroughly, you won't find any trace of these meridians. However, this law that allows energy to flow is indeed real.

Although the "meridians" are miraculous, they also invisibly lock the limits of human power. When the power flowing exceeds the capacity of the "meridians", it will cause great damage to oneself. For example, if Zhang Xuanyi had not had Zouwu share the lightning for him, such a large amount of energy would have flooded into his own body, and he would have died without a doubt.

In this situation, the legendary "soul leaving the body" is born. Once this is achieved, the sorcerer (or demon) can transcend the limitations of the physical body's meridians on power, and unleash power that can be controlled but the body cannot withstand, forming another higher form - the Dharma form.

When a Dharma Image is unleashed, its powerful energy creates an extremely tall phantom, hence the exaggerated description of it as "manifesting as heaven and earth." Among the several shikigami Dharma Images that Bai Lin saw in historical fragments, the Ryomen Sukuna was the tallest, reaching a height of over a hundred meters, truly terrifying. Even ordinary ones like Ao Lian or Tamamo-no-Mae were twenty or thirty meters tall (or long), which were also quite frightening.

Depending on the power they wield, a Dharma form can take different forms. Most mages choose a human form, but in order to unleash special spells or acquire more magical artifacts, they might develop an extremely powerful form with three heads and six arms. Monsters, on the other hand, mostly choose their original form as their Dharma form, probably because it is more flexible and convenient.

Compared to these legendary powerful beings or monsters who have cultivated for thousands of years, Song Quan's "Ghost Swordsman" secret technique is much simpler and more brutal. He draws extremely complex energy from the hearts and livers of countless monsters. This energy is domineering and disordered, and therefore will also cause great harm to Song Quan himself. Normal cultivation can prolong life, but his power will cause him to die young.

Song Quan explained that this mixed energy converged into his Dharma form—the demonic ape. This was the embodiment of his inner demons, violent and savage, yet perfectly matched with the disordered elemental energy within Bai Lin's body.

As Bai Lin chanted his incantation, he felt the chaotic elemental energy within his body, like thousands of hungry wolves, had their shackles removed. Purple-black flames erupted from his fingers, chest, and seven orifices, bringing him unparalleled exhilaration. The raging fire formed a gigantic ape-like figure around him, over ten meters tall. Bai Linshuo's new work is here, updated first across the entire internet! The flames instantly illuminated the entire Cerberia.

"Roar!" The demonic ape let out a roar that shook the entire underground space, and charged toward Fujiwara Ichiura, who was also enormous in size.

Fujiwara Ichiura's grotesque face, now twisted and contorted, grinned as eight sharp spider legs sank into the rock beneath his feet. His massive katana was sheathed in its shell at his waist, and he assumed a drawing stance. With a deafening roar, the katana was pulled from its spider-shell scabbard like a black dragon emerging from its lair.

The moment it was drawn, black and white sword energy sprayed out like a waterfall. Creatures within a radius of hundreds of meters were stung by the light, their eyes feeling like they were being pricked by needles. Even the ogres that had been hiding were revealed by the light and fell from the sky.

The next moment, a crescent-shaped sword aura was emitted from in front of Fujiwara Ichiura, like a pure white fan, rapidly extending hundreds of meters in front of him, meeting the white scale that had transformed into a demonic ape, like a torrent surging down from a bottomless cliff, determined to shatter and send him flying.

However, the demonic ape was not afraid at all. Its large mouth, full of sharp teeth, was panting heavily, and its eyes were blazing with purple flames that were no less powerful than Fujiwara Ichiura Touko. It leaped high into the air, and its huge hands suddenly clasped together in the air, forming a gesture of Wukong's conversion.

"The Devil's Heart Enlightens the Buddha!"

Bai Lin roared inside the demonic ape's body.

Buddhism emphasizes sudden enlightenment. Just as Bai Lin's mind was clear, he suddenly thought of the fierce and wrathful appearance of the Two-Faced Buddha, and was thus inspired.

The Buddha has many different forms: the dignified Buddha symbolizes the Buddha's wisdom; the kind-faced Bodhisattva symbolizes the Buddha's compassion; and the wrathful Vajra symbolizes the Buddha's indomitable spirit and strong will.

This sudden enlightenment caused the demonic ape, born from inner demons, to suddenly unleash its sacred Buddha-nature. Its enormous palm actually struck Fujiwara Ichiura's sword energy squarely. The sword energy, which was originally indestructible and could even plow a deep groove into the hard rocky ground, seemed to solidify instantly, transforming from an energy body into a solid entity like a thin layer of solid ice.

With a loud "bang!", the sword energy, which had been solidified into a near-solid form, was pressed down by the demonic ape's palm and shattered into fragments like thin glass, turning into specks of white light that dissipated into the air.

Perhaps from the moment Fujiwara Ichiura unleashed his sword technique to the moment the sword energy was crushed by the demonic ape, a long process took place, but in reality, it happened in less than a second. The demonic ape's enormous body was hardly hindered by the sword energy, and it pounced on Fujiwara Ichiura with the force of Mount Tai.

"Soaring Dragon Forbidden Fall Slash!"

Fujiwara Ichiura roared and unleashed his trump card once again. He had used this move during the naval battle, but back then, Fujiwara Ichiura's mastery of the demon sword was not pure enough, and he did not have the enormous energy foundation of the three-headed shikigami fusion he possessed today. Now, he used it again, the huge katana carrying a dense demonic power, with black lightning entwined on the blade, slashing upwards towards the demon ape's abdomen and extending to its throat.

"Extend the barrier of will!"

Fujiwara Ichiura was no longer the same person he once was, and neither was Bai Lin. The massive katana had just approached the demon ape's abdomen when it was surrounded by countless hexagonal fragments of will barriers, like an unsharpened iron blade cutting into a smooth, hard diamond.

The demonic ape launched a punch, which landed squarely on Fujiwara Ichiura's strange face.
