Chapter 2619: Dao Body and Dao Fruit

Translator: Legge

While the Martial Dao Prime Body was in seclusion in Avici, he did not stop deducing the Dharmic formulation of the Martial Dao. When he was about to come out of seclusion, he had already comprehended the key points and was only missing some details and opportunities.

In other words, it was unrealistic for the Martial Dao Prime Body to advance to the next realm of the Martial Dao within a short period of time.

However, at the same time, because he had smelted and browsed through too many ancient books and sutras, another thought flashed through the mind of the Martial Dao Prime Body.

Perhaps before he entered the next realm of the Martial Dao, he could make use of another method to condense his Grotto-heaven first and become a Fiend King!

The appearance of the Martial Dao Prime Body was a variable that was beyond the Three Realms and Five Elements.

The Prime Body’s existence originated from the Martial Dao Fruit.

Ordinary Dao Fruits condensed the Dharmic Dao of cultivators and was the essence of their cultivation. There were countless inheritance secret skills and insights within.

As for the Martial Dao Fruit, it condensed the essence of the Martial Dao.

It was not only a noble augmentation, it also contained the will of the Martial Dao and the faith of all living beings!

It was only through chance and the combination of various powers that a Dao Fruit with lifeforce was born—this was unprecedented and could not be replicated!

Up till this point of his cultivation, the Prime Body had fused the Martial Dao Dharmic formulation into his bones and flesh at the True Martial realm to temper the True Martial Dao Body.

However, in reality, the True Martial Dao Body was also a Dao Fruit!

The Dao Body was the Dao Fruit and vice versa—the two were one!

The Martial Dao Prime Body was the only one throughout history to be in such a situation.

It was recorded in the Dharmic formulation of many inheritances that the prerequisite for condensing a Grotto-heaven was to shatter the Dao Fruit.

Through the tremendous power released by the shattering of the Dao Fruit, the void outside the body would be smashed, creating a chamber that could connect to the heavens and the Three Realms—that was the Grotto-heaven!

The process was extremely dangerous.

If the power accumulated after the Dao Fruit was shattered was insufficient

and one could not support a Grotto-heaven, it would mean that the breakthrough had failed.

They would either die or settle for second best and reach the half-step Grotto-heaven realm. Although their lifespans would increase, they would never be able to advance to the Grotto-heaven realm.

The idea of the Martial Dao Prime Body was to shatter the True Martial Dao Body!

The True Martial Dao Body was the Fruit of the Martial Dao.

The shattering of the True Martial Dao Body meant that the Dao Fruit would be shattered. At the same time, there was a chance that a chamber could be opened up and a Grotto-heaven could be condensed!

This Grotto-heaven would originate from the Martial Dao Prime Body but the Martial Dao Prime Body was a variable to begin with.

In other words, if this Grotto-heaven was born, there was a high chance that it would exist beyond the Three Realms and Five Elements, turning into a variant Grotto-heaven!

That thought was way too terrifying.

Even if an ordinary Dao Fruit was shattered, the process of breaking through to the Grotto-heaven realm was extremely dangerous.

For a variable like the Martial Dao Prime Body, it was unknown if the True Martial Dao Body would truly break through to the Grotto-heaven realm after shattering just like a Dao Fruit.

If he failed, the Martial Dao Prime Body would not even have the chance to settle for second best and enter the half-step Grotto-heaven realm.

For ordinary Perfected Immortals to advance to the Grotto-heaven realm, they merely had to shatter their Dao Fruits.

However, what the Martial Dao Prime Body had to shatter was the True Martial Dao Body that he had condensed with his Dharmic Dao. If he failed, his Essence Spirit and soul would be destroyed!

Furthermore, his True Martial Dao Body had already been cultivated to the perfected stage and every single move he made could even break through the minor Grotto-heavens of ordinary Immortal Kings!

Even ordinary Grotto-heaven Spirit Treasures could not injure his body.

How could such a True Martial Dao Body be shattered?

It was an idea fraught with difficulties and a slim chance of survival.

After pondering for a long time, the Martial Dao Prime Body decided to take the risk.

Although it was a risk, he was not unprepared.

First, he could only rely on external forces to break through the True Martial Dao Body.

Yet, the external force could not be too strong. If an Emperor were to release the power of the world and destroy the True Martial Dao Body, even his Dharmic Dao would be destroyed and refined!

There was no need to talk about condensing a Grotto-heaven. He would be killed into nothingness before anything could be formed.

The safest option was for Supreme Immortal Kings to make use of the power of their major Grotto-heavens to destroy the True Martial Dao Body bit by bit. Furthermore, one Supreme Immortal King was not enough—there had to be at least 10 of them.

Second, after the True Martial Dao Body was shattered, there was actually still a sliver of hope of revival.

The bloodline of the True Martial Dao Body contained the blood of the Dragon Phoenix.

Therefore, the body of the Martial Dao Prime Body contained the final innate divine power of The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, the power of the Phoenix Nirvana.

However, it was far from enough if he was merely relying on this innate divine power alone.

The Phoenix Nirvana had a 90% chance of failure to begin with.

Furthermore, this innate divine power might not be able to unleash its full potential against the suppression of major Grotto-heavens.

Third and most importantly, the trajectory of his deduction had to be correct.

The True Martial Dao Body had to be the Dao Fruit such that the destruction of the Dao Body could truly shatter the void and condense a Grotto-heaven!

All in all, the Nine Firmament Meet was the best opportunity for the Martial Dao Prime Body to give this idea a shot!

There were enough Supreme Immortal Kings at the Nine Firmament Meet.

Furthermore, the venue of the Nine Firmament Meet was near the Builder Tree.

Once a huge battle broke out and his True Martial Dao Body was shattered to evolve into a Grotto-heaven, this Grotto-heaven could devour and absorb the lifeforce of the Builder Tree to extend his life!

Beneath the Builder Tree.

Immortal King Qing Yang and the other 18 Supreme Immortal Kings observed the Fiend Domain for any activity after they destroyed Desolate Martial’s body and Essence Spirit. They only heaved a sigh of relief when they did not find anything unusual.

Immortal King Long Night sneered, “Desolate Martial is so arrogant that I thought he had something up his sleeves. To think that he’s just an idiot who doesn’t know his place!”

“Fufu.

Immortal King Qing Yang chuckled. “This lad went on a massacre in the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain before escaping back to Avici. He really thinks that he can do whatever he wants just because he has the Hell Suppression Tripod.”

“He didn’t know that once we joined forces to seal the void, his Hell

Suppression Tripod would end up as a display piece!”

At the mention of the Hell Suppression Tripod, the gazes of the Supreme Immortal Kings landed near the pierced void where the Hell Suppression Tripod hovered.

“Amitabha.”

Heavenly King Luo Shen chanted his Buddhist proclamation softly and made a move first, arriving before the Hell Suppression Tripod to snatch it away! “Monk Luo Shen, aren’t you way too anxious?!”

Immortal King Qing Yang and the others made a move one after another as well. The 19 major Grotto-heavens were propped up once more and collided in midair!

“Hold on! Stop first!”

Suddenly, Heavenly King Luo Shen frowned and hollered.

“Why? What are you up to, monk?”

Immortal King Chi Ping sneered, “The void here has already been sealed. No one can dream of leaving until we resolve the matter of the Hell Suppression Tripod!”

Heavenly King Luo Shen said hurriedly, “There’s something strange about this Hell Suppression Tripod. I can’t lift it!”

“How is that possible?”

In a flash, Immortal King Long Night arrived beside the Hell Suppression Tripod and reached out to grab it.

The Hell Suppression Tripod did not budge at all, as though it was sucked in by the dark black hole behind it!

It was only at that moment that the Immortal Kings noticed something unusual.

“Why hasn’t this void healed after so long?” Immortal King Qing Yang narrowed his eyes and asked.

Although a fight between Immortal Kings could shatter the void, due to the circulation of Heaven and Earth laws, the void would recover quickly and recover to its original state.

But now, the pitch-black void had yet to recover!

The Immortal Kings glared at the dark black hole not far away and their gazes froze. Suddenly, their expressions changed!

In the depths of the black hole, a figure appeared faintly, as though it was one with the black hole!

“You’ll have to ask for my permission if you want to snatch my tripod!”

A shocking voice sounded from the black hole!
