"Is the ability of a 'certain senior' sufficient?"
This is a very interesting proposition.
"Little Dragon Girl" said: Yes, Master is the most capable!
"Su Muxue" said: Great, Senior is so great!
"Yun Zhenting" said: Senior shines through the ages, the Great Dao eternal!
"King of Understanding Emperor Chuan Jianguo" said: Dad...
"Seedling of Acacia Tree" said: Dad...
"Auspicious Three Treasures" said: Dad...
...
In short, apart from "a certain senior" himself, everyone else felt that the senior was powerful and fierce!
But in fact, "a certain senior" was just a "Golden Core cultivator"!
Although the cultivators of "Lao Jun Peak" were being brutally hunted, there were still quite a few "Nascent Soul cultivators".
"A certain senior" had not even reached the "Nascent Soul realm"!
And at this moment, the greatest enemy of everyone, "Gou Ying", was a "late Nascent Soul cultivator".
Coupled with the assistance of "White Bone Dao Soldiers".
The "White Bone Dragon Dharma Image" urged by "Gou Ying" could rival three "peak Nascent Soul cultivators".
Immensely powerful!
To save people from the hands of "Gou Ying" would be difficult!
Thinking of this, Hao Ren's eyes shot out with incomparably brilliant light, and his entire aura erupted.
No matter how difficult it is, it cannot stump "this senior"!
"Gou Ying" is indeed fierce, but I don't need to confront him head-on. However, I can "pretend to be a big shot" and scare him to death!
Hao Ren's aura was full, and he fully activated the "Merit Phantasm".
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The "Merit Phantasm" shone brightly, as if a divine being had descended.
It illuminated the ages with extraordinary divine might!
The earthy yellow light emanating from its body carried an incredibly strong "aura of merit", immensely powerful, suppressing all heavens.
The "power of merit" was of an extremely high level, forcefully crushing all kinds of powers.
The aura of the "White Bone Dragon Dharma Image" was instantly shattered.
The gloom that filled the sky vanished like smoke.
The sunlight regained its brilliance.
The "death aura" on the "White Bone Dragon Dharma Image" was suppressed to its limit, shrinking into a corner and trembling.
"Gou Ying" and a host of "White Bone Dao Soldiers" felt as if they were being crushed by a giant mountain, unable to breathe.
"Gou Ying" looked at the "Merit Phantasm", his eyes filled with extreme fear, trembling uncontrollably.
"This, this is not the legendary Golden Body of Merit?"
"Gou Ying" was quite knowledgeable and actually knew about the "Golden Body of Merit".
The more he knew, the more terrified he became.
The "Golden Body of Merit" was a "golden body" condensed from "supreme merit power", a more awesome and formidable existence than a "heaven and earth dharma image".
With the appearance of the "Golden Body of Merit", all magic was repelled, tribulations receded, and all kinds of powers would be suppressed.
In the myriad worlds, only a very few kinds of "divine powers" could barely resist the suppression of "merit power".
At this moment, the "Merit Phantasm" suddenly turned around and cast a faint glance at "Gou Ying".
This glance contained an indescribable grand momentum.
One glance spanning ten thousand years of vicissitudes!
One glance encompassing the birth and death of the Dao!
The vast universe, the three thousand Daos, all-encompassing...
"Gou Ying" had never seen such a divine gaze.
Coupled with the intensely concentrated "aura of merit" that "Gou Ying" felt from the "Merit Phantasm", he was so scared that he was about to wet himself and had no will to resist.
"Gou Ying" stood frozen in place, not daring to move.
Innumerable thoughts flashed through his mind.
"The Golden Body of Merit" is so terrifying!
"Whose is the owner of the Golden Body of Merit, could it be that mysterious senior?"
"The mysterious senior in the "Eastern Wilderness Mountains" is so formidable, so powerful!"
Mom, "the mysterious senior" is so scary, I want to go home...
"Gou Ying" was too busy being scared and completely failed to notice that the "Merit Phantasm" was not a "Golden Body of Merit" at all.
How could Hao Ren's mere three hundred-odd points of "merit" condense a "Golden Body of Merit"?
He couldn't even condense a fingernail of the "Golden Body of Merit", alright!
The so-called "Merit Phantasm" was merely a "minor utility" of the "Merit Qi Luck Network".
Under the coverage of the "Merit Qi Luck Network", Hao Ren activated a phantasm through the "worshipped statue".
This phantasm, apart from possessing the "aura of merit", had no divine properties whatsoever. Its offensive and defensive capabilities were almost zero.
Any adult could easily shatter the "Merit Phantasm".
However, the "aura of merit" contained within the "Merit Phantasm" was incredibly impressive.
Its aura was sky-high, suppressing all worlds!
It was as if all things in the world had to prostrate themselves before the "Merit Phantasm".
Coupled with Hao Ren's "divine-level" "pretending to be a big shot" skill, the effect was excellent.
The "Merit Phantasm" successfully intimidated everyone.
Outside the courtyard of the "Hall of Worship", the "crazy beggar" who was squatting in the corner was also deeply shaken.
Bang!
He heavily knelt down, kowtowing incessantly to the "Merit Phantasm", shouting.
"So powerful! This aura is too strong!"
"Nuclear explosions are pathetic compared to this aura!"
"Let us worship the senior as our master and learn this powerful strength from him!"
"What if the senior is unwilling to accept us as disciples?"
"Exactly, there are over three thousand of us, how could the senior be willing to accept so many disciples at once?"
...
A "Qingyang Village villager" standing next to the "crazy beggar" looked bewildered.
Over three thousand people?
Where did over three thousand people come from?
The "Qingyang Village villager" looked around carefully.
No one!
Except for the "crazy beggar", there was no one else!
The madman was beyond redemption!
...
In the sky.
After the "Merit Phantasm" scared away "Gou Ying" with a single glance, with great presence, it slowly turned and looked at Li Xiaoyao.
The "Merit Phantasm's" profound gaze swept over him slightly, and it nodded faintly.
"Not bad!"
The single word "Not bad", spoken in a light and airy manner, devoid of any earthly presence, yet contained satisfaction for "Brother Xiaoyao".
Li Xiaoyao was extremely excited, tears welling up in his eyes.
I have actually gained the senior's approval!
This is too great!
It's truly too great!
Li Xiaoyao bowed respectfully again.
"My current standing is all thanks to the senior's cultivation!"
Such eloquent words!
The "Merit Phantasm" was very pleased, and slightly raised an arm, saying with maximum prestige.
"Unseal, and break through the realm!"
Li Xiaoyao nodded heavily.
He secretly thought in his heart: I must pass the Nascent Soul heavenly tribulation in the most perfect state, and I will not fail the senior's expectations!
Immediately, he unsealed the seals within his body.
As soon as the seals were removed, Li Xiaoyao's cultivation base surged wildly.
In the first second, he broke through the Golden Core limit and began to charge towards the "Nascent Soul bottleneck".
In the second second, he broke through the "Nascent Soul bottleneck" and began to truly advance in realm.
In the third second, countless black tribulation clouds gathered, the wind and clouds surged, destructive and world-ending, the Nascent Soul tribulation had arrived!
