Chapter 830 He Is the One
The small-scale Bronze Tree in Chen Shu's hand was a refined and cast Bronze Tree, re-forged by heavenly lightning.
Originally, Chen Shu had intended to transform this small Bronze Tree into the power of his heart, as it was the origin of his life.
However, after reading the ancient martial arts books from the Feiyan Sect that Chen Yang had Nan Zhu send over, Chen Shu discovered a particularly potent offensive technique for himself.
That was to directly attack using his life origin.
In terms of cultivation, Chen Shu was the same as Chen Yang, a human with meridians within his body.
But Chen Shu possessed something others did not: another life origin.
The demon core Chen Yang had given him earlier was directly transformed into Chen Shu's current heart, leaving his original life origin, the small Bronze Tree, as an extra.
Chen Shu could have merged the small Bronze Tree into his body, which would have greatly enhanced his heart's power and provided more opportunities for recovery from severe injuries.
However, after much deliberation, Chen Shu realized that after successfully transforming, his body and spiritual power would reach the peak Grandmaster level.
But he lacked offensive capabilities.
Thus, he decided to transform the other origin into the form of the Bronze Tree.
Having been re-forged with the power of heavenly lightning, this small Bronze Tree possessed formidable might, especially with its innate heavenly might.
Chen Shu had also recently fused the heavenly might artifact from the Xuantian Cave Mansion into it. Even though the fusion was not yet complete, the combined power of the two heavenly mights was not to be underestimated.
However, facing such an attack, Saint Moon Divine Venerable remained unfazed. He muttered incantations, and several Sanskrit characters immediately materialized before him.
The Buddhist light contained within each Sanskrit character was consuming the heavenly might emanating from the Bronze Tree.
Upon witnessing this, Chen Shu's eyebrows shot up.
The Buddhist light from the Sanskrit characters could directly counter the power of heavenly might!
It was worth noting that Chen Yang had been able to withstand the heavenly might unleashed by Venerable Xuan Feng previously because he himself had benefited from the heavenly lightning of transformation.
Otherwise, Chen Yang would have, like other martial artists, had to rely solely on immense power to resist.
The Bronze Tree in Chen Shu's hand had been able to block so much heavenly might for the same reason.
Yet, these Sanskrit characters possessed the same effect, leaving Chen Shu bewildered.
Saint Moon Divine Venerable softly exclaimed, "This is the profound Dharma of Thunder Sound from the Western Buddhist lands. Though your heavenly might is formidable, it is of the same caliber as this profound Dharma of Thunder Sound. Do you think you can harm me with such a method?"
"And you still want to use this to agitate the injuries within my body? Wishful thinking!"
Saint Moon Divine Venerable had been injured by Xu Qingquan's sect secret technique on Feiyan Mountain, but he would not be directly killed by the heavenly might before him.
"You asked why I am still a mortal cultivator earlier?"
"Hahaha! Truly laughable!"
"You are a mortal cultivator because your internal energy and spiritual power have reached the mortal cultivator realm."
"As for me being a mortal cultivator, it is because in this era, there are only mortal cultivators!"
As Saint Moon Divine Venerable's voice fell, the Sanskrit characters within his body suddenly exploded, one after another.
They directly shattered the heavenly might emanating from the Bronze Tree in Chen Shu's hand!
The small Bronze Tree, being Chen Shu's other life origin, was directly fed back into his body by this shock.
Chen Shu felt a sweetness in his throat, and several drops of vital blood dissipated.
Chen Shu knew Saint Moon Divine Venerable was powerful, but the fact that he had broken through the heavenly might in just a few moves still shocked Chen Shu immensely.
Saint Moon Divine Venerable, observing Chen Shu's aura diminish, sneered, "A mere vessel avatar dares to attack!"
"And using its own origin!"
"Truly ungrateful!"
With that, Saint Moon Divine Venerable began to form seals with his hands, preparing to seal Chen Shu and take him away.
Just then, a furious roar suddenly echoed from afar: "Seeking death!"
Along with the roar came several powerful auras.
Saint Moon Divine Venerable's sixth sense instantly detected danger, and he hastily dodged.
The moment he dodged, a silver needle tore through space, shattering the surrounding giant rocks.
When Saint Moon Divine Venerable saw a black ripple left in the wake of the silver needle's trajectory, he stared in disbelief.
This tiny silver needle could actually cleave through space!
Although the black trajectory disappeared at an extremely rapid pace, Saint Moon Divine Venerable had seen it clearly.
Saint Moon Divine Venerable clearly remembered that even martial artists who surpassed mortal cultivators rarely reached such speed.
Let alone a mere silver needle shot by an opponent.
The arrival was none other than Chen Yang, who had recently departed, followed by Bei Xuan and Dong Cang.
As for the silver needle, it was naturally shot by Chen Yang.
However, even Chen Yang, the owner of the silver needle, did not expect it to move so fast.
Chen Yang had merely experimentally applied the Tianxing Secret Technique to the silver needle.
"It seems this method is quite effective!"
Thinking this, Chen Yang arrived in front of Chen Shu.
Upon discovering the dissipated vital blood aura before Chen Shu, Chen Yang frowned.
"Injured?"
Chen Yang guessed that this injury was definitely not caused by Venerable Xuan Feng.
Chen Yang had been present throughout Chen Shu's transformation process.
While others might not know how powerful Chen Shu was after transforming, how could Chen Yang not?
Chen Yang's pride in his physique and spiritual power was not only comparable but perhaps even on par with Chen Shu's.
It was important to note that Chen Yang's formidable physique and spiritual power were bolstered by the Bronze Cauldron!
This was something ordinary martial artists could never achieve.
And Chen Shu?
His foundation was a mysterious metallic liquid, shaped by heavenly lightning.
Under such circumstances, it was highly unlikely for a one-armed Venerable Xuan Feng to injure Chen Shu.
Therefore, it could only be this mysterious individual before them!
Chen Shu stood beside Chen Yang and whispered, "I originally intended to suppress him with my origin, but he injured me by exploding it."
Chen Yang almost spat out a mouthful of blood, "Injured your origin? How long have you transformed? And you've already injured your origin?"
He glared at Chen Shu, "Hide such methods from now on!"
To facilitate Chen Shu's transformation, Chen Yang had even solicited help from the Zen Buddhist Academy, and the favors owed had yet to be repaid.
Seeing Chen Yang scold him so fiercely, Chen Shu wanted to retort but knew in his heart that Chen Yang was concerned for him.
He could only respond with a dejected "Mm."
However, he immediately told Chen Yang, "This person is Saint Moon Divine Venerable."
The moment the name Saint Moon Divine Venerable was uttered, not only Chen Yang, but also Bei Xuan and Dong Cang, who had just arrived, widened their eyes and looked over.
