Chapter 452: Chapter 216: Breakthrough to Dharma Aspect! Unlocking Talent!

Li Zedao’s face twisted with fury. "It’s because of useless trash like you, who have no sense of propriety and go around provoking powerful enemies, that the Li family has been forced to flee! And you still want revenge? Can you even defeat me? Answer me, can you?!"

"N-no... I can’t..."

Blood filled the young man’s mouth, his face a mask of terror.

’What’s happening?’

’I just asked a simple question, and the Patriarch beats me like this?’

"Useless trash! You can’t even beat me, yet you want to go find Chen Xuan for revenge? If you can’t beat me, then you’d better keep that desire bottled up! If anyone so much as hints at wanting revenge, I’ll kill them on the spot!"

Li Zedao said, his voice filled with frustration at their incompetence.

’That Chen Xuan got the Heaven Repairing Pill; he’s bound to break through to the Dharma Aspect realm.’

’And on top of that, Chen Xuan can sense other people’s malice.’

’If I don’t get my family members in line, Chen Xuan will be able to hunt us down even if we run to the ends of the earth...’

The thought sent a cold shiver down Li Zedao’s spine.

"Take that for talking! And that! Keep running your goddamn mouth!"

SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!

AAAAGH! AAAAGH! AAAAGH!

He began slapping the man furiously again.

The other family members shivered, none of them daring to utter another word.

...

「Meanwhile.」

Inside Fahong Temple.

Chen Xuan’s body was perfectly still, but within him, a new world was being forged. Streaks of golden light interwove with flashes of purple lightning, their thunderous roars deafening.

Thick clouds of golden energy continuously poured from his pores...

[...Congratulations, Host. You have reached the Dharma First Layer realm!!]

BOOM!

Finally, all the phenomena within his body gradually subsided, returning to a state of calm.

Chen Xuan gently exhaled a turbid breath. His eyes flashed, golden flames dancing within them. He slowly closed his hand into a fist, feeling as if he held the entire world in his palm.

"So this is the Dharma Aspect..."

He hadn’t thought much of it before reaching this realm.

But now that he was here, he could truly appreciate its profundity.

The Dharma Aspect was a colossal spiritual body manifested when a Martial Artist perfectly fused their internal True Essence, Spiritual Power, and Inner Realm with the Primordial Qi of the outside world.

This spiritual body could be called a true body of law.

It was the manifestation of a Martial Artist’s personal Martial Dao.

A Dharma Aspect was not fixed; it could be a towering giant, an ancient divine beast, or an artifact imbued with the profound mysteries of the Dao, such as a sword, a bell, a lotus, or a star. It could even be an abstract natural phenomenon, like an ocean, a ball of fire, or a pocket of Heaven and Earth...

Each person’s understanding of their own Martial Dao was different, so the Dharma Aspect they cultivated was unique.

However, the vast majority of Dharma Aspects took the form of a giant.

Chen Xuan was no exception.

At this moment, within his body, resided a three-headed, six-armed deity.

Its faces were identical to Chen Xuan’s own.

The three faces were majestic and cold, and its twelve eyes provided a complete, 360-degree field of vision with no blind spots.

Enthroned beneath this deity was a savage thunder-elephant, with a primordial fire dragon nestled at its side and a colossal Primordial Giant Demon standing guard behind it.

And hovering above its heads was a golden Three-legged Golden Crow...

A single glance revealed the spectacular scene within his Inner Realm.

’If I use my Dharma Aspect while in my Heaven and Earth state, I wonder how powerful that would be?’

A glint appeared in Chen Xuan’s eyes.

He grew excited just thinking about it.

’No, I can’t wait!’

’I have to try it right now.’

"Old Ancestor of the Yun family, stand back! I’d hate for you to get hurt by accident!"

Chen Xuan glanced at the Yun family’s Old Ancestor, who was off to one side.

The Old Ancestor of the Yun family froze for a moment, then hastily retreated.

"Grow!"

Chen Xuan roared in his mind.

He activated Heaven and Earth once more.

WHOOSH! This time, he shot up from five hundred meters to a height of eight hundred meters. However, this version of Heaven and Earth was drastically different than before.

His Heaven and Earth form had actually sprouted three heads and six arms, all made of real flesh and blood.

This stunned Chen Xuan, a look of surprise on his face.

He then immediately activated his Dharma Aspect.

A radiant light bloomed from his body. A layer of golden brilliance flew out and immediately coalesced behind him into an even larger Dharma Aspect. However, once this Dharma Aspect formed, the three heads and six arms on his physical body vanished.

Then, with a mere thought, he retracted the Dharma Aspect.

The three heads and six arms reappeared on his physical body.

This transformation delighted him.

"So that’s how it is! Hahahaha..."

He burst into laughter, the sound causing the land for countless miles around to tremble violently.

His terrifying appearance left the Old Ancestor of the Yun family utterly aghast.

’What... what kind of Secret Technique is this?’

’His body getting bigger is one thing.’

’But to sprout three heads and six arms?’

’Who will be able to stand against him now?’

"Return!"

SWISH!

As Chen Xuan formed a Dharma Seal with his hands, his enormous body instantly shrank back down.

In the blink of an eye, he had returned to his normal size.

’My Dharma Aspect has actually fused with my Heaven and Earth ability. This is incredible...’

’This makes my Heaven and Earth twice as formidable.’

’The power of a three-headed, six-armed Heaven and Earth form will be immense.’

[Ding! Host’s reputation has increased again, reaching the tenth stage: Renowned in Darkness. Talent unlocked: Thunder King (Level 2)!]

[Thunder King (Level 2): This is a form of Celestial Dao authority, a key weapon for meting out heaven’s punishment. With this talent, you can freely control the Five Thunders of the Celestial Dao. A Thunder Tribulation will descend with a single thought. The amount of lightning you can summon will depend on your Cultivation!]

A few clear notifications suddenly rang in Chen Xuan’s mind.

Chen Xuan’s eyes lit up.

’A new talent?’

’Thunder King (Level 2)?’

He focused on it and quickly discovered the power of this new talent.

At Level 1, Thunder King could only summon large-scale lightning during a thunderstorm.
