Chapter 1653: The Perfect Dao Robe
The ancient Dragon Soul might be incorporeal, but it was powerful. When it entered the robe, it began to struggle and resist with all its might.
Lu Zhou hovered in the sky as the robe fluttered wildly in the wind.
Boom!
At this moment, the ancient Frost Dragon’s body smashed onto the frozen ground, shattering the ground. Cracks spread out immediately in all directions.
The ancient Frost Dragon was a powerful ancient creature, but it still felt fear and trepidation when faced with the Master of Grand Mystic Mountain. After all, he had once dominated the Great Void; he was peerless and unrivaled. Although the cultivation world had changed, and the humans and the fierce beasts were no longer the same, the legends about him did not die.
The powerful fierce beasts had joined forces in ancient times to try and defeat the Unholy One, but they were utterly defeated. After that, the Unholy One pulled out a few tendons from one of the progenitors of the dragon race.
The ancient Frost Dragon felt uncomfortable when it thought about stories from the past. It really did not expect the person in front of him to be the Master of Grand Mystic Mountain. Who knew he would return after 100,000 years?
At this moment, the ancient Dragon Soul felt claustrophobic. It charged around desperately in the enclosed s.p.a.ce, looking for a way to escape.
“Let me out!” the ancient Dragon Soul cried mournfully as it continued to ram itself against the enclosed s.p.a.ce.
Every time the ancient Dragon Soul rammed itself around, the robe woven from the divine dragon’s tendons would flutter violently.
Lu Zhou remained unmoved. Then, he joined his palms together again as he said expressionlessly, “It’s a futile struggle.”
Buzz!
The golden avatar opened its mouth slightly as musical notes swept out toward Lu Zhou’s robe.
“Great Meditation Dharani.”
Lu Zhou did not usually use Buddhist techniques. However, the Buddhist techniques were the most suitable for this kind of situation.
The musical notes entered the enclosed s.p.a.ce of the robe that looked like the galaxy and smashed at the ancient Dragon Soul.
The ancient Dragon Soul roared and dodged continuously. Alas, although it was very skilled in the law of s.p.a.ce, it still failed to leave.
Rumble!
An explosion suddenly sounded in the enclosed s.p.a.ce. Then, a huge object appeared in the air, causing the ancient Dragon Soul to stop moving and tremble in place. It could not move at all.
“Divine dragon!”
The divine mark robe was originally woven from the tendons of a divine dragon. Even if the divine dragon had died, the tendons still contained its power. It might be just the remnant power of the divine dragon, but it was enough to instill fear in the ancient Frost Dragon and make it submit.
Previously, Lu Zhou had used the Great Meditation Dharani to suppress it, and then, it used the will of the divine dragon to intimidate it. By now, the ancient Dragon Soul was already greatly weakened.
In the vast enclosed s.p.a.ce that resembled the galaxy, the surging energy began to calm down. With that, the ancient Dragon Soul began to gradually fuse with the tendons of the divine dragon.
Lu Zhou’s long robe shone dazzlingly, illuminating the entire place. A faint circle of light appeared beneath his feet before it expanded to cover the entire place.
At this time, the surviving fierce beasts in the ancient formation began to prostrate themselves on the ground.
The four people gradually calmed down and patiently waited for Lu Zhou to completely seal the ancient Dragon Soul.
Lu Zhou continued reciting the chant for the Great Meditation Dharani as his robe continued to s.h.i.+ne.
At this moment, Shang Zhang sensed the energy fluctuations and said, “He’s at the critical moment now…”
“Isn’t it about to end?”
“It’s not that simple. He wants to create the perfect Dao robe,” Shang Zhang said.
“Dao robe?”
Shang Zhang said, “I didn’t pay attention to his robe before. There are many defense-type garments in the cultivation world, but most of them are engraved with formations. However, his robe has no runes or formations. I noticed this before, but I really didn’t expect it to be woven from the tendons of a divine dragon. The tendons of divine dragons are rare and can be considered sacred relics. The tendons aren’t inferior to the ancient Frost Dragon. Although the two are of the same kind, they repelled each other.”
Shang Zhang explained. “Once they’re fused, this robe will be able to block the power of the laws. Both of you are Dao Saints so you should know why Dao Saints are stronger than Venerable Masters and Saints. The difference lies with the comprehension of the laws.”
The other three people were slightly surprised.
Xuanyi asked, “If it can block the powers of the law, then won’t it be almost invincible?”
“Theoretically, that’s right,” Shang Zhang said, “However, nothing is absolute in this world. Moreover, the perfect Dao robe can only greatly boost one’s defenses, it can’t boost one’s offenses.”
“You have a point,” Xuanyi said with a nod.
As soon as Xuanyi finished speaking, the light from the divine mark robe dissipated.
Lu Zhou spread his arms and the robe left his body.
The wind and clouds began to stir in just an instant.
Lu Zhou waved his hand slightly, and the ancient Dragon Soul shot out of the robe, shaking the entire world. However, it was contained by a barrier.
In the sky, the chanting from the avatar continued. It was more powerful and shocking than before as it reverberated in the sky.
At this moment, Lu Zhou stopped chanting and shouted, “Om Mani Padme Hum!”
Following that, an enormous white script appeared in the sky, covering a radius of 10,000 miles. Then, it landed on the divine mark robe.
Xuanyi said, “The Six Syllables Mantra.”
Following that, another five enormous scripts appeared and descended from the sky.
With that, the ancient Dragon Soul gave up trying to resist and completely became a part of the divine mark robe.
The sound faded, and the light dissipated.
Then, the divine mark robe flew back to Lu Zhou. After he put the robe on, circles of light began to appear on his body and dropped down before a golden lotus bloomed under his feet.
Peace returned to the s.p.a.ce in the ancient formation, and the perfect Dao robe had been created.
Unlike before, the ancient Frost Dragon had now truly fallen into the eternal slumber of death.
At this moment, its servants were still lying prostrate on the ground, completely subservient to the aura the divine mark robe emitted.
Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back as he looked around. Then, he said, “Scram.”
With just one word, the fierce beasts fled and disappeared from sight.
Lu Zhou’s body seemed like it was as light as a feather as he descended after putting away the golden lotus. He looked at the expressions of the four people in front of him.
Little Yuan’er and Conch stared at Lu Zhou with their mouths agape.
Xuanyi’s eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with reverence.
As for Shang Zhang, a hint of surprise and vigilance could be seen in his eyes when he looked at Lu Zhou. He shook his head and finally said, “I should’ve figured it out before this… I don’t know how I missed it.”
“Figure what out?” Lu Zhou asked.
Shang Zhang looked as though he did not know whether to laugh or cry as he said with a sigh, “It’s so obvious…”
After a long time, Shang Zhang finally cupped his fists together at Lu Zhou and said, “Nice to meet you.”
