Chapter 144: Chapter 85: The Gluttonous Rat Devouring Buddha, Li Xuan Transforms into a Rainbow
Looking at him overall, Li Xuan no longer had a trace of a human appearance, having completely transformed into a black demon with cracked skin, resembling a Demon General clad head to toe in pitch-black steel armor.
Whoosh!
Li Xuan swung his fist.
A terrifying whirlwind of air was stirred up within the mountain cave.
Outside the cave, Rose, who hadn’t been seated steadily, was flipped over.
Boom!
Though his fist hadn’t yet landed on the rock wall of the cave, a fist imprint appeared on the wall.
Li Xuan glanced at the panel again, noticing there was a change.
[Li Xuan]
[Lifespan: 20/160]
[Realm: Second Realm]
[Demon Points: 36]
[Strength: 70/90]
[Agility: 46/90]
[Constitution: 68+60/90]
[Spirit: 25/90]
Clearly, this was achieved because his constitution had breached a critical threshold.
He broke through the Second Realm, and his attribute limits all reached 90 points.
A surge of emotions from hard-won effort overflowed.
Li Xuan quickly looked towards the [Worshipers’ Divine Realm].
This kind of power must be used within the incense of devout prayer.
No wonder the Headless ’Buddha’ was already at the brink of life and death, yet couldn’t unleash those rumored terrifying powers.
This was because the Headless ’Buddha’s’ Demon Skill was completely disabled, and it was engaged in bare-handed combat.
So...
"Rose, where is the incense you carry?"
Li Xuan called out.
Outside, the Little Buddha Mother had just been blown down, but she climbed up, retrieved a handful of incense, and eagerly ran towards the cave.
Previously, this incense had gotten damp, but instinctively Rose felt it might still be useful and kept it tucked in her arms, and now... it had dried.
When she entered the cave, Rose looked up at a terrifying giant figure.
She gulped, calling nervously, "Master?"
Li Xuan replied, "It’s me."
"You... you..." Rose only felt an imposing presence from a higher position on the food chain emanating from the other side, which frightened her.
Standing in front of this towering giant, she seemed like a small, childlike doll, her gaze just reaching above the giant’s waist.
However, as fear crept in, her gaze bravely looked forward.
Though the cave was very dark, her direction was unmistakably clear.
"Master, I want to sit on your lap." Rose decided to adapt to this master.
As for why the master was like this, she didn’t care anymore.
What kind of master had she not seen before?
The master is a monster.
And she is a little monster.
In this world, where’s the sense in a little monster fearing a big monster?
Her fear was unwarranted; she had to adapt.
Rose clenched her fists to cheer herself on.
Li Xuan sat down broad-legged, relaxed and open.
Rose rushed over, propped her hands on his strong thighs, shouted "hey," and leaped onto his lap.
Her legs dangled in the air; though there was still a bit of fear in her heart, being this close, she quickly adapted to the aura of the powerful master.
Li Xuan took the incense, applied a bit of force to his fingertips, causing his blood and energy to surge, and his fingertips suddenly became extremely hot.
With a light touch of the incense, its tip turned red and started to emit a faint bluish smoke.
Rose immediately understood, clasping her hands in silent prayer for Li Xuan.
Li Xuan also secretly prayed for himself, simultaneously casting the Demon Technique called [Worshipers’ Divine Realm].
This [Worshipers’ Divine Realm] is like a god-worship ritual, yet it isn’t.
The god-worship ritual can only be used when a "god" is nearby and then uses incense to open a door to another world, drawing a bit of protective power from the nearby deity.
That power is the thin film enveloping the bearer.
At this moment, a golden world slowly overlapped with the shadows inside the dark, damp cave as the incense rose.
A gigantic, reclining golden body suddenly appeared on Li Xuan’s thigh.
And in that world, Li Xuan himself remained unchanged.
Feeling something within himself, he grabbed the previous incense statue.
The incense statue slowly melted, covering his entire body.
Immediately, Li Xuan’s form in that world began to change, turning from his normal self into a towering Headless Buddha.
Due to its height, he got a clear view of the reclining golden figure.
It was indeed a goddess statue, yet there was not a trace of vitality throughout its body.
The two golden bodies were tall, only appearing within the gold-tinted world unveiled by the incense, not extending beyond the cave.
And this image... was quite odd.
Li Xuan could imagine a seated Headless Buddha.
He could also imagine a reclining golden goddess statue.
But, a reclining golden goddess statue lying in the arms of a Headless Buddha... this...
He couldn’t afford to think more about it and quickly started observing.
During this observation, he noticed... Rose’s goddess statue was incredibly solid, almost entirely coursing with incense.
As for him, the Headless Buddha was merely an appearance; apart from the thin veneer of golden light maintaining the facade, inside it was entirely hollow!
After a short while, Li Xuan felt a strong sense of pressure and impact.
It was as if he had opened a siphon in the dam within a torrent, standing in the breach, blocking the flood.
’No wonder the demon is from the Constitution Attribute, or else I couldn’t hold it,’ Li Xuan pondered.
Then, he attempted to use [Worshipers’ Divine Realm].
He shifted his body slightly.
The golden flood mixed with his incense quickly flowed, transforming into a winding golden path stretching far into the distance.
Moved by a sudden thought, Li Xuan pointed southward.
The next moment, he and Rose turned into a streak of rainbow light, cutting through the night sky of Red Flower Mountain, piercing through layer upon layer of mountains, reaching an unknown place.
