393: The Dharma Image of the Demon King of the Miro Heaven

Lu Ming took it out and discovered it was actually a Jade Slip.

This Jade Slip was of extraordinary quality, its entire body presenting a warm, blood-red hue. Inside, it seemed to contain blood vessels and veins, flowing slowly within the Jade Slip as if it were a living creature.

Lu Ming wasn't afraid of any tricks within it; a wisp of his Divine Sense directly entered the blood-red Jade Slip.

Instantly, a vast, ancient, and ferocious aura rushed towards him.

Several ancient seal script characters, written as if with blood, dancing like dragons and phoenixes, carrying immense information, forcefully imprinted themselves into his Sea of Consciousness.

'The Mi Luo Heavenly Demon Luo Dharma Idol'

"Oh?"

Lu Ming let out a light sound of surprise, immediately recalling the six-armed demonic shadow that the six people had jointly manifested earlier.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a bit of interest, and began to carefully examine the contents recorded in the Jade Slip.

At first, he was just casually browsing, but soon he wiped the carelessness off his face, his expression gradually becoming focused, and finally even taking on a hint of solemnity.

"There's something to this!"

He had originally thought this was just an ordinary Demonic Path joint-attack secret technique, with its grade at most being top-tier second rank.

But upon closer reading, he realized it wasn't as simple as he had imagined; he had greatly underestimated this Cultivation Technique.

This 'The Mi Luo Heavenly Demon Luo Dharma Idol' was not some Demonic Path secret method at all, but a rather orthodox and highly conceptualized sacrificial artifact Divine Ability!

Its specific grade was not explicitly marked in the Jade Slip, but based on Lu Ming's current knowledge and rough estimation, its fundamental concepts and cultivation methods had reached at least the level of the third-rank Golden Core Realm, possibly even higher!

The core of this Divine Ability was not simply gathering magical power to create an illusion, but using this method to construct a unique 'Demon Luo Dharmakaya' Foundation within the body.

This Foundation was like a special embryo, but its growth method was extremely unique.

It required continuously offering sacrifices and refining various Magical Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, and even Magic Treasures!

Each time a sufficiently graded artifact was successfully refined and fused, the Demon Luo Dharmakaya would correspondingly grow a new arm.

And this newly grown arm could perfectly bear and unleash 100% of the power of the refined artifact!

In theory, as long as enough treasures were refined and their grades were high enough, the Dharmakaya's arms could grow almost infinitely.

Ultimately achieving the terrifying Realm of 'ten thousand treasures gathered, a thousand arms dancing together,' it could be said to have limitless potential!

As for the phantom images of the Bone Fork, Human Head Banner, Filthy Blood Bowl, Soul-snatching Bell, Soul-rending Claw, and Gut-cutting Rope that the six people had jointly manifested earlier,

these were precisely the life-bound or commonly used Spiritual Artifacts that each of them had cultivated with their lives. When jointly activating this Divine Ability, the artifact forms and part of their power were temporarily borrowed and manifested by the Dharmakaya.

It was just that because these people were Calamity Cultivators, the Demon Luo Dharmakaya had become somewhat sinister.

More crucially, Lu Ming discovered that this Divine Ability was not some joint-attack technique at all, but a Divine Ability that could be completely cultivated and performed by a single person!

As for why the Scar-faced Big Man needed six people to cooperate in its performance, the reason was simple enough.

First, his own cultivation was insufficient; the strength of his Divine Soul and magical power was far from enough to independently construct and maintain the integrity of this Divine Ability, let alone refine multiple Spiritual Artifacts afterward.

And the most critical point was that he was poor!

Yes, just poor!

Ultimately, the Scar-faced Big Man became a Calamity Cultivator because he was poor, so he simply couldn't produce enough or good enough Spiritual Artifacts to refine and fill the Dharmakaya.

Thus, he came up with this clever method: he tricked the other five Calamity Cultivators, claiming this was a powerful 'joint-attack secret method'.

It just required the six of them to each use a Spiritual Artifact as a guide, cultivating and performing it together.

But in reality, during each 'joint practice' and use against enemies, he secretly operated the 'The Mi Luo Heavenly Demon Luo Dharma Idol,' silently turning the other five people's Spiritual Artifacts into 'nourishment' and 'catalysts'.

Gradually refining and stealing the Origin artifact essence of these Spiritual Artifacts to nourish and attempt to gradually transform these artifacts into part of his own Dharmakaya!

Given enough time, perhaps one day in the future, he could completely strip away the control of those five Spiritual Artifacts, solidifying the Dharmakaya in one fell swoop.

While his power would skyrocket, those five companions would suffer severe injuries from the backlash of their Divine Souls due to their life-bound artifacts being stolen, becoming lambs to the slaughter.

"What a clever move of 'getting something for nothing, borrowing a chicken to lay eggs'!"

Lu Ming looked at the notes left by the Scar-faced Big Man in the Jade Slip, a playful curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

"The idea isn't bad, and the scheme is ruthless enough, but unfortunately, his luck was a bit off, running into me ahead of time!"

If he hadn't encountered Lu Ming, given time, the Scar-faced Big Man might have actually succeeded.

Lu Ming rubbed the warm, blood-red Jade Slip in his hand, deep in thought.

This Divine Ability had a novel concept and seemed to have considerable potential, especially suitable for Cultivators with abundant resources and multiple Magic Treasures.

However, its cultivation process also inevitably carried risks and costs.

First was the bearing capacity; as the saying goes, 'if virtue does not match position, disaster will follow.'

The Dharmakaya relies on the Cultivator's own existence; each time a Magic Treasure is refined, the corresponding burden also falls on the Cultivator.

A few might be fine, but what about a dozen, dozens, or even hundreds? These loads could crush the Cultivator to death.

It wasn't that there were no solutions; first, one could learn from the Scar-faced Big Man and create this so-called 'joint-attack secret method' to distribute the pressure.

Another way was to Cultivate one's own physique and Divine Soul; as long as they were strong enough, these negative effects could be offset.

Of course, there was another method.

Lu Ming glanced at the golden book shining brightly in the Void Realm, a smile on his lips.

"Isn't it just about sharing the pressure? I'm familiar with that!"

If it were about other things, Lu Ming might have reservations, but if you're talking about the side effects of Cultivation Techniques, he's wide awake.

"But..." Lu Ming rubbed the Jade Slip with his fingertip, his brow slightly furrowed.

Because Lu Ming always advocated quality over quantity; usually, one human emperor banner could settle many matters.

So he had never deliberately hoarded so many Magic Treasures; now he only had a few on hand.

Moreover, with Lu Ming's current insight, he could see that this Divine Ability was incomplete; there was more content to follow.

Currently, this Divine Ability could at most refine Spiritual Artifacts; even if the quantity increased, causing a qualitative change, it would still be limited to the Golden Core level at best.

But if that were all, it wouldn't hold much significance for Lu Ming.

His current strength could already rival Golden Core Perfection; did he lack such means?

So Lu Ming thought it through clearly: if this 'The Mi Luo Heavenly Demon Luo Dharma Idol' had a continuation, he would go look for it.

But if it didn't, then this Divine Ability held little meaning for him; he might as well not Cultivate it!

But how to find it... "When in doubt, consult the Heavenly Secrets!"

Since learning the Heavenly Secret Art, Lu Ming had gotten into the habit of divining for everything.

Now that he had encountered this matter, his hands were itching again.
