Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14686 The Faceless Dharma King

Outside the bamboo house, Jian Sha stood barefoot in the stardust grass, then suddenly paused and his eyes flickered.

She turned to look in the direction of the bamboo house and saw that Ling Xiao, who was sitting quietly, was surrounded by an extremely faint, invisible "domain"...

It was only about ten feet in size, but it was real and not an ordinary spiritual barrier. It was more like a rudimentary form that combined artistic conception and rules, distorting the surrounding light and spatial fluctuations with an imperceptible amplitude.

A genuine surprise flashed across Jian Sha's eyes, and a hint of unease crept into his usually cold voice:

"Interesting... He's already touched the threshold of the Dharma Aspect Domain so quickly and formed a rudimentary form? His Dharma Aspect is contained, and his domain field is just beginning to take shape. This kid is truly a natural gem in the field of cultivation."

She murmured to herself, her tone carrying a hint of approval:

"He has already learned to invoke the essence of his own demonic form and attempted to construct a domain framework. Although it is far from complete and the structure is loose, it has truly touched upon the core logic of 'forming a domain with a demonic form.' Given time, with diligent practice and comprehension, he will eventually be able to forge his own true demonic form domain."

Just then, Ling Xiao seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes. A flash of light appeared in his eyes, revealing an barely suppressed excitement. He subconsciously exclaimed, "Senior! I... have I stepped into the realm of Dharma Aspect?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that the man in the green robe in front of him had already disappeared.

"This is merely a glimpse into the basics; it cannot be considered a true entry into the field."

Sword Fiend's voice came from outside, clear and cold, "What you've condensed right now is merely the most primitive rudimentary Dharma Aspect Domain. Its range is small, its rules are loose, and it can't even support the most basic combat. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao's excitement immediately faded, and he said with a wry smile, "Then... wouldn't that be equivalent to being useless?"

"How could it be useless?" Jian Sha chuckled, his tone carrying a hint of guidance. "Try to activate this nascent domain and maintain it with all your might."

Ling Xiao followed the instructions, calmed his mind, and focused all his thoughts into the invisible domain around him, trying his best to stabilize the nascent, weak rules and make them clearer and more stable.

Sword Demon raised his eyes and looked into the distant void, speaking calmly to the air: "Try him."

The void trembled slightly, and the gray-robed elder from the Sword Star Holy Temple slowly appeared. He paused for a moment upon hearing this, then a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He raised his palm and casually flicked it towards Ling Xiao's direction.

In an instant, a terrifying power that Ling Xiao was extremely familiar with suddenly enveloped his entire body... It was the Law of Plunder that could directly affect the source of life!

He could clearly feel that the luster beneath his skin was slowly but truly fading, as if his vitality was being pulled away by an invisible hand, and even his soul felt weak.

Ling Xiao's expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to circulate his spiritual power to resist, Jian Sha's voice rang out at the right moment: "No need to withstand it head-on. Use the nascent form of your domain field to fight back and 'cover' it! Use your way to defend against the enemy!"

Ling Xiao understood immediately and abandoned the idea of ​​resisting head-on. He focused all his attention on the faint nascent domain field and tried his best to "expand" this miniature domain field.

He attempted to use the weak rules he constructed based on his own understanding of "demon" and "destruction and protection" to interfere with and counteract the predatory laws that had invaded his body.

Buzz...!

A faint, almost inaudible tremor, seemingly originating from the depths of the soul, quietly arose.

Within a radius of about ten feet around Ling Xiao, the distortion of light and space suddenly became obvious, and the invisible domain field, like an open cocoon, steadily enveloped him.

The next moment, the life-plundering law acting on him was forcibly weakened by more than half! Although it was not completely dispelled, its oppressive and corrosive power was reduced by more than ten times!

Ling Xiao froze, looking at Jian Sha in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly: "Senior, this... this nascent domain field actually has such miraculous effects?"

Sword Demon smiled and nodded, his tone solemn:

"The core of this rudimentary domain is to temporarily construct a miniature rule domain using your own Dao. Within this domain, you can greatly weaken, interfere with, and even temporarily repel the invasion of external laws that contradict your Dao."

She changed the subject, and didn't exaggerate:

"Of course, if your opponent is far stronger than you and their understanding of the laws is overwhelming, this rudimentary domain field will still be of little use. But at least it will prevent you from being completely helpless like a fish on a chopping board and give you a chance to maneuver."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao's eyes instantly blazed with intense light!

Previously, facing the Sword Fiend's spacetime laws, he had no chance to resist at all; it was an absolute suppression on a dimensional level. But now, this nascent domain field, which had just reached the threshold, was actually able to forcefully weaken the law invasion of a top-tier expert!

This means that as he continues to improve and strengthen his domain, he will have an extra crucial trump card when facing powerful enemies who possess special laws in the future, so that he will not be completely restrained and at the mercy of others!

A fighting spirit instantly ignited in his heart... Next, he would nurture and cultivate this newly sprouted seedling, allowing it to grow into a towering tree capable of protecting the path and defeating enemies!

"By the way, what about that senior in the green robe from before?" Ling Xiao suddenly remembered this and asked curiously.

"He's gone," Jian Sha said calmly, his tone carrying a hint of mystery. "However, you may meet again. Because after the Evil Spirit King, he is the next being who could potentially be resurrected in the Demon Needle Space."

"Huh?" Ling Xiao was suddenly stunned, his face full of astonishment.

He never expected that he would receive the inheritance of the next ancient powerhouse before he even had a clue about the resurgence of the Evil Spirit King. This fate was too mysterious.

"So, your bond was already destined." Sword Demon added with a light laugh, "His name is Faceless, and his title is Dharma King. Remember this name."

Ling Xiao nodded solemnly, firmly memorizing the words "Faceless" and "Dharma King".

Looking at the powerful figures of the Demonic Sect he has encountered, they all have different temperaments and personalities... There is the unrestrained and free-spirited Demonic Sword Saint Xiao Yan, the domineering and awe-inspiring Demonic Dragon Emperor Long Yun, and now there is the gentle and insightful Dharma Aspect King Wumian.

These ancient masters all helped him by passing on their knowledge, which warmed his heart and strengthened his resolve to move forward.

As Jian Sha looked into the light in his eyes, his expression gradually turned serious, and his clear eyes became solemn:

"Your path of martial arts will ultimately be a solitary journey. Especially in the journey ahead, no one will frequently appear to help you, so do not harbor any reliance on others."

"Even if the Evil Spirit King and the Dharma King are resurrected in the future, they will only take action when you are on the verge of death. Otherwise, if you rely on their protection, you will never grow up and will never be able to stand on your own."

She paused slightly, looked up into the depths of the starry sky, as if sensing something, and sighed softly: "Perhaps, I should go too... Before I leave, let me clear away the obstacles in front of you one last time."

Having said that, her ethereal figure rose gracefully and flew straight out of the bamboo house courtyard. (End of Chapter)
