This majestic divine figure is Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts Dharma form, which he condensed after breaking through the Yuan Shen realm and reaching the Dharma Aspect realm.
Among martial artists of the Dharma Aspect Realm, apart from Zhang Sanfeng, only Fuxi and Nuwa have barely reached this level.
For a martial artist at the Yuan Shen realm to condense a martial arts dharma image and break through to the Dao dharma image realm is extremely difficult.
They need to observe the most powerful things or objects in the world, and carefully study their divine forms and the principles they embody.
After understanding the various laws contained within them, I slowly engraved their figures in my mind, merging their Dao with my own understanding to form my own unique martial arts Dharma.
Each martial artist's Dharma form is unique; it can be mountains, the earth, rivers, lakes, or the boundless sea.
It could be the sun, moon, and stars, or some powerful beast, or some wonder of nature.
For martial artists at the Dharma Aspect Realm, the strength of their Dharma Aspect determines their combat power at this level.
The strength of a martial arts Dharma Image depends on the power of the thing that the martial artist visualizes when forming the Dharma Image, as well as each martial artist's understanding of the laws or the Dao.
The image of Zhang Sanfeng looks exactly like him, except that he appears to be middle-aged.
Zhang Sanfeng turned around and looked at the majestic golden-armored deity behind him. The moment he saw him, his name inexplicably came to mind—the True Martial Emperor.
After Zhang Sanfeng's True Martial Emperor Dharma Image was fully formed, Xuanyuan gradually could not withstand the ever-increasing pressure emanating from Zhang Sanfeng and slowly withdrew from the City Lord's Mansion.
At this moment, only Zhang Sanfeng, whose cultivation was still breaking through, remained in the city lord's mansion of Blood Battle City.
Just as Zhang Sanfeng's True Martial Emperor Military Law was successfully condensed, the several Nascent Soul Realm experts who were in seclusion in Blood Battle City all stopped their seclusion and looked towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
Subsequently, these martial arts experts at the Nascent Soul realm, along with nearly a hundred experts from Blood Battle City who were second only to them at the Nascent Soul realm, rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
"City Lord, what are you doing here? Who exactly is this person in the manor? I thought you had broken through to the Dharma Aspect Realm."
One of the first human experts to arrive, a Nascent Soul Realm expert, asked Xuanyuan with some confusion.
This human powerhouse appeared to be a burly young man.
Suddenly, the powerful figure noticed Zhang Wuji beside Xuanyuan and asked Xuanyuan with some surprise.
"City Lord, when did such a young Martial Core Realm expert appear in our Blood Battle City? I have no recollection of it at all. Could it be a young human talent who has recently broken through?"
"General Wang, this is Brother Zhang Wuji. He is not from Blood Battle City. I met him outside Blood Battle City. The powerful figure who broke through inside is Brother Zhang Wuji's great-grandfather, the venerable Zhang Sanfeng."

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Tribulation of Lightning
As the oppressive aura emanating from the City Lord's Mansion grew stronger, most of the powerful figures within Blood Battle City had gathered around it.
As time went by, Zhang Sanfeng's True Martial Emperor Dharma Image began to grow, becoming larger and larger.
At this moment, there were no ordinary people outside the city lord's mansion. Those who could gather here were all the strongmen of Blood Battle City.
As Zhang Sanfeng's True Martial Emperor Dharma Image grew taller and taller, the oppressive aura surrounding the City Lord's Mansion became increasingly astonishing.
Faced with this increasingly overwhelming pressure, initially only those martial artists at the Martial Core Realm and some strong individuals who cultivated other systems but whose realms were comparable to the Martial Core Realm began to slowly retreat.
In the end, under that astonishing pressure, even several Nascent Soul Realm experts, including Xuanyuan, could not withstand it and had to retreat away from the City Lord's Mansion.
After growing to a height of tens of thousands of meters, Zhang Sanfeng's True Martial Emperor Dharma Image finally stopped expanding.
Just as the Blood Battle City experts, who were already far from the City Lord's Mansion, were about to catch their breath, a great change occurred in the sky above the True Martial Emperor's Dharma Image.
Patches of pitch-black clouds began to condense above the image of the True Martial Emperor. Within these clouds, thick bolts of lightning flashed, like menacing thunder dragons.
"This aura? Yes! That's right! This aura has already surpassed the Dharma Aspect Realm; it's the next major realm in martial arts cultivation."
“This…this is impossible! Back then, even with the combined efforts of High Priest Fuxi and all the powerful warriors of my human race, we could only push the Martial Canon to the level of Martial Dao Dharma Form.”
"The strongest person in my Bloodbath City, Lord Xuanyuan, has only reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. I'm afraid even High Priest Fuxi is only at the Dharma Aspect realm now!"
"Indeed! I wonder what Zhang Sanfeng's background is? How did his cultivation level rise from the Nascent Soul realm to a level surpassing the Dharma Aspect realm in less than a day!"
"Yes, that's absolutely incredible!"
After discovering the heavenly tribulation above Zhang Sanfeng's head, many powerful human beings in Blood Battle City were shocked and began to exclaim in surprise.
"Lord Xuanyuan, since you invited this Senior Zhang Sanfeng back to our Blood Battle City from outside, could you please tell us about his background?"
As the surrounding Nascent Soul Realm experts continued to exclaim in surprise, General Wang, the first Nascent Soul Realm expert to arrive, asked Xuanyuan the question that everyone present was wondering about.
"Yes! City Lord, please answer our questions!"
Several Nascent Soul Realm experts around them spoke up.
"Gentlemen, I am not very clear about the background of this senior Zhang Sanfeng. We just happened to meet him not far from Blood Battle City."
"As for how we met, and the details of our encounter, I will answer those questions for you after Senior Zhang Sanfeng successfully breaks through his cultivation this time."
After Xuanyuan finished speaking, the powerful figures of Blood Battle City stopped asking questions.
The powerful figures of Bloodbath City all began to intently observe Zhang Sanfeng's next move, eager to know how his cultivation would change after breaking through to the Dharma Aspect Realm.
After discovering the heavenly tribulation above his head, Zhang Sanfeng, whose cultivation had stopped breaking through, began to slowly float upwards, heading towards the direction where the True Martial Emperor's Dharma Image was located.
Zhang Sanfeng's body began to slowly merge with the Dharma form of Zhenwu Emperor.
After Zhang Sanfeng completely merged with the True Martial Emperor's Dharma Image, the illusory True Martial Emperor's Dharma Image seemed to come alive and began to slowly condense into a substantial form.
The True Martial Emperor's Dharma Image, which had solidified into a tangible form, suddenly emitted two astonishing beams of divine light from its eyes, and then looked up at the heavenly tribulation in the sky.
