Chapter 318: The natal Dharma and the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell merge into one, and the combat power increases dramatically
"Sure enough!"
"This Xuanhuang Primal Chaos Bell, which has nine seals, has more than doubled its power after removing three seals?"
"It has completely merged with the shadow of my natal Dharma image, the Black Yellow Primal Chaos Bell!"
"From now on, my life form has become indestructible. I can summon the Xuanhuang Primal Chaos Bell, which is combined with the martial arts form, out of the sea of gods, and show it to the outside world, and use it to kill enemies normally!"
"In this way, my future combat capability will be more than just doubled, right?"
At this time, Li Dingguo was sitting cross-legged in an exquisite attic on the Southern Army's flagship, the Shangpin Dabao Ship, his face filled with uncontrollable joy.
He had previously instructed his soldiers not to disturb him, and came to the attic on the ship alone. He consumed thirty points of luck and broke the third seal of his innate artifact, the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell.
I never expected that this innate divine artifact would bring me such a huge surprise!
Ever since he accidentally obtained this innate magical weapon, apart from affecting the condensation of his own martial arts method, Li Dingguo could only look at this extremely mysterious innate magical weapon and was unable to use even a trace of its power.
Now, after I made up my mind to remove the third seal, I was pleasantly surprised.
In his current sea of consciousness, his innate Dharma image has merged with the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell. This extremely mysterious innate artifact has finally become Li Dingguo's companion artifact.
It's a matter of life and death, and the two are no longer separate.
I don't know how much of a crushing impact the real Xuanhuang Chaos Bell would have if it were to appear and attack the enemy's martial arts form.
Li Dingguo could say with certainty that most of the Qi Refining Realm practitioners would suffer a horrible defeat if they used martial arts techniques to fight against him.
For any practitioner, including gods, ghosts, demons and monsters, the innate Dharma image is the most important foundation of oneself.
The innate Dharma images of all practitioners are condensed from their own essence, energy and spirit. Once they are severely damaged, they will inevitably cause serious backlash to the practitioners themselves, and it will take a lot of time to recover.
Especially in battle, once the practitioner's own innate Dharma image is shattered by the enemy, one can imagine how tragic the consequences will be.
In the ancient myths and legends that Li Dingguo knew a little about, those incredible and powerful masters could temporarily combine their own innate Dharma images and innate divine weapons into one in battle, and could exert amazing combat power.
Li Dingguo had never heard that a cultivator's own innate Dharma image could be completely integrated with his or her innate divine weapon.
He even guessed that he was the only one throughout history.
From this, we can see how great a surprise the phantom of the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell that was accidentally condensed when Li Dingguo awakened his own innate Dharma image will bring to him now.
There is no doubt that there will be a significant change in Li Dingguo's fighting style in the future.
The attack of the martial arts Dharma will become his powerful killer, and it is the kind that has no solution.
Invincible at the same level, Li Dingguo now dares to say that he can do it.
"Ha ha……"
Li Dingguo, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, couldn't help but chuckle and thought to himself, "I wonder which unlucky person will be the first soul to die under my innate divine weapon in the future!"
If there was a Qi Refining Realm master who relied on his stronger cultivation than Li Dingguo and used his own innate Dharma image to confront Li Dingguo's innate Dharma image head-on, he would be doomed to tragedy.
In today's world, is there anyone whose innate Dharma image that can withstand the bombardment of a true innate divine weapon?
Most likely not.
At least among people of the same level, it is impossible.
After being pleasantly surprised, Li Dingguo suddenly thought, "The commanders of various legions have written to us in the past few days saying that as our Renaissance Army expands, the current level 5 spirit birds are simply not enough."
"The soldiers of each legion were often used by the enemy to send messages via spirit pigeons and spirit eagles, which fled early with various secret letters, making the operations of the Restoration Army less and less secretive."
He was also a man who had experienced many battles, and of course he knew very well how much trouble it would cause to his own family if he could not block the transmission of enemy intelligence on the battlefield.
Not only will the soldiers' attack lose its secrecy, but the enemy will also be able to pass on real-time military intelligence to hostile forces on all sides, allowing the enemy to easily know itself and the enemy, and prepare for response early.
In any war, concealing battlefield information from the enemy is a matter of great importance.
If we engage in a head-on decisive battle with an enemy of equal strength, we will undoubtedly lose the initiative and may even suffer a devastating defeat.
Although the Fuxing Army is now very powerful and its combat effectiveness seems good, compared with the major forces in the Ming Dynasty, its foundation is much worse.
Which of those thousand-year-old families does not have a long history?
Over such a long period of time, the foundation accumulated by successive generations was such that even if Li Dingguo was extremely lucky, he could not compare with the other party in many aspects.
For example, Li Dingguo had personally experienced the accumulated heritage of the big Shanxi merchants, the Fan family, and the Fuqing Ye family. His own Fuxing Army could not compare to that.
"We must find some time as soon as possible to go to the depths of the Qinling Mountains mentioned by those Wang family captives."
"First, we need to seize the Wang family's ancient spiritual gardens for our own use. At the very least, we need to recapture the group of top-level spiritual beasts, the peacocks, that they mentioned."
"Only in this way can we truly solve the problem of our army's future battlefield intelligence concealment."
"Otherwise, as our business expands, our disadvantage in this area will become more and more serious. We can't even think about launching multiple attacks and launching sneak attacks against powerful enemies."
After making the decision, Li Dingguo immediately stood up, opened the door of the exquisite attic, walked to the nearby boat side, held the boat side with his hands, and looked towards the river in the distance.
After successfully capturing Mengmen Pass yesterday, the biggest gain was nothing else but the large number of treasure ships belonging to the hostile trading companies anchored in the river bay.
Although there were no high-quality treasure ships among them, there were more than twenty medium-quality treasure ships and more than forty low-quality treasure ships!
The huge harvest from the treasure ship caused the size of the Fuxing Army's southern fleet to more than double again!
Fortunately, there are enough naval soldiers in the Xuanwu Camp, who can easily take over these treasure ships and use them for their own purposes.
"Great Commander!"
"Wubao is a hundred miles ahead."
At this time, Huang Zhanglong received a report from the forward reconnaissance patrol ship, leaped over and reported to Li Dingguo.
According to reports from intelligence personnel, the Wubao in this big world is very different from the Wubao in Li Dingguo's previous life in the 21st century.
In the 21st century of the previous life, the ecological environment of Wubao was one of the most severely damaged areas in the country. Even green vegetation was rare, and it could be described as a barren land.
Wubao at this time was an important military town along the Yellow River. Although it was densely covered with gullies and mountains, there were all kinds of towering trees everywhere. The terrain was dangerous and the environment was very beautiful.
The Wubao Wharf along the Yellow River has been visited by a large number of merchant ships for many years, making it much more prosperous than the Mengmen Pass that was previously captured by the Fuxing Army.
The permanent population is at least one million, and it is a well-known cargo distribution center.
Even in the entire Yellow River Basin, Wubao was one of the top 100 major riverside cities at that time.
"Earlier, I had the golden eagle hunt down all the spiritual birds that wanted to fly out of Mengmen Pass. The news of our army's arrival should not be known to the defenders of Wubao."
Li Dingguo immediately gave the order, "Order the soldiers to prepare for the surprise attack immediately. We must break into Wubao City before the enemy army opens the city defense formation."
"The navy soldiers must control all the treasure ships at the big dock as quickly as possible and not let any of them escape!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it is not impossible to harvest hundreds of treasure ships of various levels this time."
The reason why Li Dingguo was so sure was because Wubao had a very good geographical location at that time.
Wubao Bay, which has not suffered from serious soil erosion, is a large natural harbor. Almost all major merchants from the three northwestern provinces usually come here to settle down when they pass by.
Especially now, the trade between the big Shanxi merchants and the Tartars outside the Great Wall is in full swing. Almost every day, fleets of the big Shanxi merchants pass by here to rest.
Li Dingguo knew very well that each of the ten most famous Shanxi merchants had at least two high-quality treasure ships, about ten medium-quality treasure ships, and dozens of low-quality treasure ships.
Apart from anything else, as long as one or two high-quality treasure ships are harvested in Wubao, the naval strength of the Fuxing Army will usher in another explosive growth. If the number of treasure ships harvested is large enough, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the pressure on the logistics department when marching and fighting in the interior in the future.
In this big world, with the special geographical environment of the huge Yellow River dividing Jin Province and Qin into two, as long as the Fuxing Army has enough well-equipped treasure ships, they can even completely cut off the government's route to Qin, so that even if the government troops reach the banks of the Yellow River, they can only sigh at the river.
At that time, the vast Qin territory would become like an isolated island, and would undoubtedly become a turtle in a jar, at the mercy of the soldiers of the Fuxing Army.
Whether the Yellow River line can be blocked in the future depends entirely on the number of treasure ships of the Fuxing Army and whether they are sufficient for the soldiers to use.
This is Li Dingguo’s deepest plan, and it is also the key to whether he can gain a firm foothold in Qin in the future.
As long as the navy of the Restoration Army is strong enough, this can be achieved.
If the government troops wanted to enter Qin territory, they would first have to capture all the ports along the Yellow River.
Otherwise, they would be in danger of being cut off by the Restoration Army at any time.
In order to firmly take root in various important ports and fortresses along the Yellow River, Li Dingguo had previously spent a large number of magic cores of various levels to set up a small Five Elements Sky-covering Array in this pass along the Yellow River after capturing Mengmen Pass.
He also ordered a large number of craftsmen and warriors to cooperate in the urgent construction of several large artillery batteries, so that after the transformation was completed, Mengmen Pass would become a hedgehog-like riverside fortress city.
It would undoubtedly be very difficult for the government troops to capture Mengmen Pass after it had been completely transformed.
Li Dingguo planned to capture all the water fortresses along the Yellow River between Qin and Jin Province.
They were transformed into riverside fortress cities, and firmly defended with the help of the well-arranged third-level top-grade formations and natural barriers.
If the plan is achieved, the large number of reinforcements sent by the imperial court can be blocked east of the Yellow River.
By then, the various forces on the Ming Dynasty court side would probably be disgusted to death and so angry that they would vomit three liters of blood.
The Yellow River Basin in this great world is comparable to a sea that is millions of miles long and can be said to be a true natural barrier.
With a vision that transcends his time, Li Dingguo would certainly find ways to make the best possible use of the natural barrier of the Yellow River.
The Ming Dynasty, which has never attached importance to the development of the navy, what can it use to fight against Li Dingguo's huge navy?
As long as we have control over the water, we don't have to fear the enemy army on the other side of the Yellow River.
After all, the army soldiers cannot fly, and they cannot cross the huge Yellow River, which is at least a thousand miles wide.
If Li Dingguo's strategic plan is realized, it would be reasonable and a sure thing for him to seize control of a province in Qin.
By then, after a few more years of patient development, it will no longer be the time for the imperial court to constantly cause trouble for the Fuxing Army, but rather the time for the Fuxing Army to take the initiative to attack.
Li Dingguo knew all too well the role of having a strong navy.
Due to the limitations of the times, no one in the Ming Dynasty had a better vision in this regard than him.
"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!"
When Huang Zhanglong heard Li Dingguo's combat order, his face lit up with joy and he immediately got busy.
As the commander of the Xuanwu First Battalion, no one among all the soldiers of the Southern Army was more excited than Huang Zhanglong, knowing that his army was about to harvest a large number of treasure ships of various levels.
The soldiers acted quickly and in just a quarter of an hour or so, they had made all preparations for battle.
The soldiers of the Xuanwu Camp were responsible for capturing the large dock and seizing all enemy ships.
The soldiers of the Suzaku Legion were ready to take the city in one fell swoop.
At this time, Wubao Bay ahead was already in sight.
"quick!"
"Get straight to the edge of the pier!"
"The enemy here is completely unprepared. We must act quickly!"
"Sure enough, there are hundreds of treasure ships of various levels docked in this Wubao Bay!"
"With so many treasure ships, it is estimated that they account for at least 10% of all the treasure ships in the three northwestern provinces."
"This time, oil came out of my mouth. We are so lucky!"...
As the Fuxing Army's fleet quickly sailed into this huge river bay, the first thing that caught the soldiers' eyes was the large number of treasure ships docked at the row of bluestone docks, which immediately made everyone exclaim in amazement!
"Commander! There really are three top-quality treasure ships moored next to this large dock. We are going to get rich!"
"Stop yelling! We have to seize all the treasure ships here as quickly as possible!"
"Remember this! Before the battle is over, all soldiers must form a battle formation. At least a hundred-man formation must be formed to fight the enemy!"
"We've arrived at the big dock! Quick! Follow me! We can't give the enemy time to form a formation to counterattack, or even activate the city defense formation!"...
The treasure ship was traveling at an extremely fast speed. It took less than a quarter of an hour from the time it saw the large dock on the river in the distance until it arrived at the large dock area in the river bay.
Amid the exclamations of shock from the vast number of soldiers and civilians in Wubao, before the treasure ships of the large fleet had even come to a halt, one after another, Qi Refining Realm generals, with teams of thousands of soldiers, formed neat military formations, jumped off the treasure ships one after another and swept towards all directions!
Any warrior who tried to escape was quickly killed by the soldiers!
At this time, there is not enough time to identify the enemy. Any warrior who does not surrender immediately will be greeted by the soldiers forming a formation and raising their knives!
The soldiers who leaped down from the treasure ships quickly divided into two groups and rushed towards their respective targets.
Li Dingguo and the golden eagle immediately rushed onto a high-quality treasure ship and launched a violent attack on the panicked enemy warriors.
"Dong dong..."
After he arrived at this superior treasure ship, his mind moved, and the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell, which was completely integrated with his natal dharma, appeared in the outside world for the first time.
At this moment, the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell suddenly turned into a size of more than ten feet, and the continuous bell sounds rang, covering all the warriors on the treasure ship!
"No!"
"ah!"……
The speed of sonic attack is so fast!
Before the enemy warriors on this treasure ship could react, the sound of the bell, whose power had increased several times compared to the day before, had already spread into the sea of consciousness of all the enemy warriors on this treasure ship!
The majority of these warriors were servants and guards of this unknown caravan, with a total number of more than two hundred people.
The most powerful warrior among them has already reached the late fourth level.
These level four warriors were caught off guard and had no time to form a formation to fight back. Their souls were destroyed by the all-pervasive and vast bell sound, and they died on the spot with blood gushing from all their orifices.
Even their screams could hardly be heard, let alone any resistance.
After countless thousands of years, the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell displayed its tremendous power for the first time!
Although Li Dingguo still could not unleash half of its power, he used the martial arts method to stimulate a group attack and killed all the enemy warriors on the treasure ship with just one wave of attack.
"As expected, the Xuanhuang Primal Chaos Bell, which is combined with my life form, has a lethality that is at least several times greater than the attack power of my previous life form."
Li Dingguo experienced the lethality of the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell for the first time, and was somewhat surprised by the power it now unleashed.
In the past, even if he exerted his full strength, he would have needed to launch at least several waves of sonic attacks to kill all the enemy warriors on this treasure ship.
It would never be like what is happening now, where the battle on this high-quality treasure ship ended with just one wave of attacks.
Having personally experienced the terrifying killing power of the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell, Li Dingguo had no time to think about it. He soared into the air, landed on the water in front of him, and sailed over the waves, flying towards another high-quality treasure ship not far away!
