I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

Chapter 414: Chapter 299: Liberation of the Mind! Breakthrough, Lord of the Pocket World! (Part 2)

The crowd in the square was dead silent, with expressions of inhuman stupor on their faces.

Although the thousands of "citizens" still maintained a kneeling posture,

their heads had all twisted precisely 180 degrees, staring eerily at Lu Xuan.

The purple-golden monks’ bowls in the young monks’ hands clattered to the ground, spilling not porridge, but countless chunks of flesh and shattered bones.

"Hmph!"

"Old bald monk!"

"Pretending to be a deity in front of me!"

Lu Xuan flicked his wrist, a faint black-gold flame flickering in his eyes.

As for why he slapped this old bald monk, it was naturally to vent the anger in his heart.

These ghoulish beings, it must be said, had indeed found Lu Xuan’s deepest vulnerability.

That was his family!

Lu Xuan had only given him one slap, and even that was a result of holding back.

He wanted to see what tricks this old bald monk and these things that seemed "human" were up to.

Because Lu Xuan sensed that although these people had thick yin energy,

he felt that it was not the limit of this Buddha tower temple.

Lu Xuan didn’t want to let any yin energy here escape; he aimed to draw out the evil hiding at the back and then destroy them all in one fell swoop.

Suddenly, a hoarse laugh came from the distance.

"Hehehehe......."

The ancient, aged voice came closer and closer.

"All beings suffer, and this old monk shall use the suffering of the flesh to ferry the world through calamities....."

From the dust and smoke in the square, a hunched figure slowly stood up.

It was indeed the host monk slapped thousands of meters away by Lu Xuan. However, in the blink of an eye, he had inexplicably returned to the square.

In the torn parts of his brocade kasaya, instead of flesh, there was a display of divinely golden blood.

This strange spectacle would lead others to believe that this old monk was a vision of the mythical Buddha coming to life!

Just as the old monk finished speaking, an aureate vision appeared in the sky.

Inside the vision were images of kneeling citizens below, the host monk, the crowd of monks, and the vast Buddha tower temple.

In the bustling temple, the citizens wore blissful smiles.

The young monks distributed steaming hot food.

And the old monk was seated cross-legged before a giant Buddha, blessing the world’s people.

"This is the Pure Land of ultimate happiness."

Everything was so perfect, without the vanity and greed of the mortal world.

The old monk clasped his hands together, a seven-colored Buddhist light floating behind his head, "As long as the benefactor lets go of obsessions....."

Lu Xuan’s brow furrowed deeply, almost releasing the purple flames in his eyes.

This old bald monk’s endless chants, the false vision of bliss in the sky, and the subtle tremors from underground......

All of this drained Lu Xuan’s patience.

"Noisy."

Lu Xuan’s voice was icy cold as he casually raised his right hand, palm facing up.

A wisp of black-gold flame quietly ignited in his palm!

As the faint flame swayed, the entire Buddhist nation seemed like a movie paused!

At the instant the black-gold flame lit up, the crowd, once expressionless, seemed affected by the extreme heat.

Their facial muscles twisted, expressions becoming hideous.

The benevolent face of the old monk, frozen, cracked into countless pieces like shattered porcelain.

Thick white smoke surged from beneath his kasaya, as if seared by Lu Xuan’s flame.

Simultaneously, the countless Buddha head reliefs embedded in the surrounding walls emitted agonized wails, the sounds interweaving and echoing, causing shivers.

"Creak... creak!"

The chilling sound of bones dislocating erupted from every corner of the square.

Those once kneeling "citizens," their necks twisted at odd angles, limbs jointed backward, like puppets controlled by invisible strings.

Their tattered garments silently turned into charred ashes, revealing bodies covered in corpse spots underneath.

From the fingertips of these eerie citizens, half-foot-long bone blades slowly extended, reflecting a chilling gleam under the firelight.

"Hiss-ha——"

Thousands of mouths stretched to the ears simultaneously, emitting a terrifying sound, as sandalwood-scented poisonous mist spewed from their mouths, quickly engulfing the entire square.

Mixed with the stench of decaying corpses, the mist spawned dense fleshy sprouts wherever it touched the white marble tiles, wildly writhing.

Lu Xuan looked on coldly, the black-gold flame in his palm suddenly surging, rapidly rotating to form a fiery vortex, resembling an apocalyptic catastrophe.

From the black-gold flame vortex, physical Heaven and Earth Law Chains emerged windingly.

These were clearly the "Law Embodiment" Divine Techniques only those at the Pocket World Realm could wield!

"Destroy."

Lu Xuan uttered the word with a breezy demeanor, his five fingers slowly clenching, directly triggering a resonance with the heavens and earth!

Bang——!!!

In Lu Xuan’s palm, a miniature black hole fire vortex swiftly ascended into the sky.

From within the black-gold fire vortex came a heart-stopping suction, a terrifying devouring force instantly sweeping across the scene.

The eerie "citizens" below stood powerless in the face of this force, ruthlessly being torn into pieces of flesh and sucked into the black-gold fire black hole.

In just a few breaths, the previously tiny fire black hole rapidly expanded to the limit, transforming into a pillar of fire that reached the heavens.

The black-gold Destructive Fire, like an enraged dragon, swept in all directions with its claws extended.

Wherever it reached, the false solemnity of the pagoda temples, including all things below, melted rapidly like wax statues under the fierce sun.

For a moment, the air was thick with the acrid scent of burning, combined with a nauseating stench of decay.

Yet, amidst this murky atmosphere, a long-lost fresh air quietly emerged,

like spring rain nurturing the land long enveloped in blood and decay.

This place had not been blessed with such pure, flawless air for far too long.

As the black-gold flames continued to spread, peeling away layers of false dignity, a shocking scene was revealed.

"Rip!"

The gilded Buddha skin melted into gas under the high heat, exposing the crimson, writhing flesh below.

The surface of the flesh was covered with dense tattoos of Sanskrit script.

Each rune twisted and struggled in the flames, emitting a screeching sound like nails scraping on metal.

"Wooooo——"

The once solemn and austere chanting inside each pagoda suddenly transformed.

Upon careful listening, it was clearly a blend of countless voices.

There were the desperate prayers of elders seeking mercy, the heart-wrenching cries of women, and the frightened sobs of children...

The myriad voices of all beings intertwined into a spine-chilling melody.

The most horrifying sight was the hundred-zhang golden Buddha, with the unfamiliar old man’s face that Lu Xuan had never seen.

The towering statue, once revered by thousands, slowly melted on the surface, releasing a large amount of black, putrid blood.

Inside the statue was entirely composed of countless human body vascular formations.

The corpses of men, women, young and old twisted into eerie postures, their hands and feet joined to form the vessel network of the Buddha’s body.

The heads were embedded in key acupuncture points, with the gaping mouths constantly flowing with black tainted blood.

It was as if they were treating the physical bodies of the world’s beings as the organic tissues of the golden Buddha, deeply rooted below the earth’s veins.

Upon encountering the scorching waves of the black-gold flames!

From within these "human" vessels, came the chanting voices, screams, and cries for help of countless people... Ultimately, turning into an earth-shattering explosion sound.

A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!

Just as the ocean of black-gold flames was about to consume the entire pagoda temple,

the world suddenly went silent!

Buzz!

A strange black shadow shot up from underground.

Wherever the black shadow passed, the rampaging black-gold Destructive Fire was forcibly gathered, like rivers flowing into the sea.

The raging black-gold fire wave became exceedingly docile in the face of absolute power, eventually collapsing into a pitch-black dot in the sky.

Finally, this black dot slowly vanished into the heavens and earth.

Tap!

The entire space above began to distort and deform.

Lu Xuan raised his eyes to the sky, gazing at the hundred-zhang shadow that rose from the ground!

It was an entirely black Buddha, surrounded by a chilling aura.

This aura was not like ordinary evil spirits; each wisp contained the power of the Heaven and Earth Laws, freezing space into black ice crystals wherever it passed.

"Aura?"

"The power of Heaven and Earth Laws!"

"This is!"

"The eeriness of the Void Realm!"

That hundred-zhang black Buddha shadow lowered its gaze, its eyes materializing and shooting onto Lu Xuan’s body.

For this, Lu Xuan’s breathing halted.

The next moment, the corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth lifted into a jubilant arc,

He was not afraid, but exhilarated to the extreme!

Yes!

Yes!

This is it!

I’ve been waiting for this ominous presence for so long.

A towering hundred-zhang black Buddha shadow, its surrounding aura was more powerful than ever.

If this wasn’t Lu Xuan’s great opportunity, what else could it be!
