Chapter 379: Chapter 338: Do I Regret It? Has Toraga’s Ascetic Practice Been Completed? (Vote for Monthly Ticket!)
Sigh~
The Vajra Body took a deep breath, motionless as a mountain, silently watching the Vajra Pestle descend towards his forehead.
The Vajra Pestle was bright and sharp, like lightning flashing through the clouds, thin and long.
It pierced the sky in an instant!
The rumble of thunder followed, echoing in his ears, causing the Vajra Body’s heart to pound with an inexplicable sense of alarm, beating thud after thud.
"It’s okay!"
"What am I worried about, I am invincible!"
The Vajra Body shook his head, then looked up straight at the flickering Vajra Pestle.
Bang!
The Vajra Pestle crashed down, striking the head of the Vajra Body, a collision of Vajras, like a mallet hitting a large drum, making a thunderous sound.
The Divine Staff could not harm the Vajra Body!
But Shiva’s Blessing Force had already been activated, and a flood of memories instantly assaulted the Vajra Body’s mind.
The Vajra Body’s eyes glazed over, his body shuddered, and he stood rigid on the spot.
Memories surged into his mind in an instant.
Those chaotic memories continued to assault him, among them were recollections of him indulging his wife, Varanini, and doting on his children; there were images of Asuras waving their swords everywhere, harming good people when he offered help to Toraga...
These karmic entanglements all rushed into the mind of the Vajra Body.
"Ah!!!"
"What? What are all these!"
The Vajra Body half-knelt on the ground with a thud, clutching his head, his expression one of pain and fear, and he let out a low growl.
"!!!"
Seeing this, Kashigyakya and the Devas were all startled.
Indra’s strike with the Vajra Pestle seemed to have wounded the Vajra Body.
"How did the teacher do it?"
Kashigyakya exclaimed in surprise, his eyebrows raised.
This guy, blessed, was nearly immune to all their powers, yet now he lay fallen on the ground.
"Blessing!"
"It’s Mahadeva’s blessing!"
Sun God Surya looked at this scene and instantly remembered the blessing Mahadeva gave to the Heavenly Emperor.
"That’s right!"
"The blessing above the Milk Sea!"
Wind God Vayu said.
Water God Agni shook his head, muttering to himself, "A wake-up call!"
...
Roar! Roar! Roar!
At this moment, the Vajra Body was gritting his teeth, emitting pained groans.
He had just seen many things!
Whoosh!
The Vajra Body suddenly looked up, staring at Indra.
"What are all these?"
The Vajra Body asked.
Indra slowly lowered his head, his gaze dropped, looking at the Vajra Body who had fallen to the ground, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He took a sharp breath inwardly, lifting the Divine Staff in his hand, gazing deeply.
Hiss!
This Vajra Pestle is really useful!
Cough! Cough!
Indra coughed lightly, his gaze slightly fell, looking at the Vajra Body who wore a face of bewilderment and pain.
"Within your memories!"
"They are all the Karmic Retribution you have wrought, the sins you’ve committed, the pain of the victims!"
Indra said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, the pupils of the Vajra Body contracted.
Sins!
His sins?
He breathed nervously, sweating profusely, belatedly blinking his eyes.
"Is there my fault in this, could it be my fault?"
"Did I harm them?"
The Vajra Body was conflicted, his head shaking as he mumbled to himself.
"Would you know if you experienced it once again?" Indra spoke once again.
Having said that, he did not hesitate, once again wielding the Divine Staff, striking hard towards the head of the Vajra Body.
Bang!
The Vajra Pestle fell once more, ringing crisply.
The Vajra Body shuddered again!
His eyes turned red, trembling rapidly, his expression alternating between sorrow and pain.
Bang!
The Vajra Body slowly lowered his head, falling to the ground, prostrating as if in worship, murmuring to himself: "Was I also to blame for what happened to Antaka?"
His face was filled with confusion!
The next moment, Indra’s voice slowly resonated in his ears.
"Vajra Body!"
"This is a grave oversight on your part!"
"You could have stopped your son’s evil deeds, but you did not!"
Indra said.
Boom!
His words were like thunder, instantly crashing upon the head of the Vajra Body.
The Vajra Body, with a perplexed face, slowly lifted his head, looking up at the calm-eyed Indra.
Was this his fault? Was it he who indulged Toraga?
"But I promised my wife!"
"I promised Varanini, and I swore an oath to help them protect the Heavenly Realm!"
Vajra Body muttered to himself.
Hearing this, Indra looked at Vajra Body with utter speechlessness. This guy used to be so mighty, filled with a heroic spirit.
Now, he’s turned into a complete mess!
Too sentimental!
"Righteous Law is never static; it’s alive. It’s your father, your mother. If you treat Righteous Law with goodness and love, you’ll be filled with joy!"
"But if you take just one part of it as everything, then you’re on the wrong path."
"Without love and kindness, everything is meaningless!"
"Then, Righteous Law will abandon you!"
"Just like you help your son do evil deeds, all in the name of keeping your oath!"
"That, in fact, is unlawful!"
Indra said.
Whoosh!
Vajra Body looked shocked.
He slightly opened his mouth and knelt on the ground, pondering over these words.
At that moment, he felt as if he were listening to the Vedas Scripture, with endless words of wisdom soaring around his ears.
"Yes!"
"If only I had had the courage to refuse Varanini back then if only I could have fulfilled my duties as a father."
"Perhaps Toraga would not have turned out this way!"
Vajra Body murmured as if he had received an awakening.
In his early years, he indulged Varanini, went on arduous cultivation, and allowed Varanini to raise Toraga like this. Indeed, it was his responsibility.
A tinge of regret surged into his heart!
"Whose wise words are these?"
Vajra Body murmured to himself.
Upon hearing this, Indra’s lips curled slightly, and he shook his head.
"Of course, it was me!"
He thought secretly to himself, shaking his head.
But he didn’t say it out loud.
Indra, with a smile on his face, quietly raised his hand and patted Vajra Body’s shoulder, asking, "Does it really matter who said it? The important thing is, do you realize your mistake?"
Right then, Vajra Body remembered all that had happened in the past—remorse, guilt, and regret filled his mind.
His expression carried profound sadness, showing a look of contrition as he brought his hands together in prayer.
"I... was wrong!"
Vajra Body lowered his head.
I was wrong! I was wrong! I was wrong!
The deep voice rippled like waves on water, echo upon echo resonating in all directions, sounding a multitude of reverberations.
Milk Sea, Vighna.
Vishnu, secretly paying attention to the situation in the Heavenly Realm, also showed a smile and shook his head, breathing a sigh of relief.
He felt relieved!
If Vajra Body Asura had remained in the Heavenly Realm, under the invincible Blessing Force, Vajra Body would have been very difficult to deal with.
He was actually quite worried that Mahadeva might destroy the Heavenly Realm!
Now, it seemed there was no need to worry.
"The wise Heavenly Emperor! The beautiful Heavenly Realm!"
"Exquisite!"
Vishnu’s demeanor was content as he chuckled lightly.
Kashigyakya looked at Indra, her eyes twinkling like stars.
"The teacher is truly a wise man!"
"With just a few words, he has led this Vajra Body back to righteousness. Amazing!"
Kashigyakya said.
The Devas also showed surprised delight.
"This is the wisdom of Indra!"
Sun God Surya was thrilled, breathing a sigh of relief, then relaxed as he watched the silhouettes of Aruna and the seven Divine Horses ahead.
"This is wonderful!"
"My Divine Chariot only needs to carry me now!"
Surya thought to himself.
Wind God Vayu also revealed a smile, saying, "This Vajra Body really is as brave as a lion; no wonder he fathered Toraga."
Water God Varuna also looked pleased.
"We’ve been fighting here for so long, and Toraga and the Asuras have not appeared. They probably aren’t here."
"He must know something!"
Water God Varuna said excitedly.
Whoosh!
At that moment, in the gaze of all the gods, Indra slowly spoke.
"Where is Toraga?"
Indra asked.
Hearing this, Vajra Body looked grief-stricken and sighed, "Toraga is undertaking arduous cultivation before Goddess Dhara."
"He has summoned two hundred ten thousand female Asuras to gnaw upon his flesh and blood!"
Vajra Body said softly.
Boom!
Rumble!
Waves of tremors emerged from Earth, like a volcanic eruption, immediately spreading through Mandara Mountain at the center of the Three Realms, reaching far and wide, suddenly transmitted into the Heavenly Realm, causing them to struggle to stand firm.
Indra’s gaze intensified.
"This powerful force comes from Earth!"
"Could it be that Toraga’s arduous cultivation is complete?"
