Chapter 624 - 246: Calculations of Karma
The large black-armored hands held Monk Hui Wu’s head, while behind those hands, thick black mist and ominous Yin Qi emanated a chilling, eerie laughter.
In the distance, Hui Sheng and Hui Jue witnessed this scene, and even though their cultivation had reached the Perfection of Void Observation, they still felt a tingling sensation on their scalps, their hearts filled with horror!
The two even forgot their identities as cultivators and forgot to run away.
They just stood there, watching with wide eyes as those large black hands hid Monk Hui Wu’s head into the black mist and Yin Qi, and then a large amount of black mist and Yin Qi surged into Monk Hui Wu’s not-yet-dead body through the rupture of his neck.
A piercing scream sounded, as Monk Hui Wu’s meditating body suddenly stood up, his body covered in golden light suddenly emitting a large amount of black smoke!
Once the black smoke completely dissipated, Monk Hui Wu’s headless body underwent a bizarre transformation.
His body doubled in size, with the surface covered in intricate and mysterious dark-golden patterns, resembling a strange piece of armor.
The headless body had dark-golden patterns that formed glyph-like markings resembling eyes on its chest!
Combined with the patterns on its navel and abdomen, it formed a gigantic human face like that of a wrathful Vajra!
Monks Hui Sheng and Hui Jue were stunned at the sight of the sudden transformation, watching in horror as the strange giant transformed from Hui Wu strode toward them!
The next moment!
The strange giant suddenly lifted its palm and slapped it toward their heads!
The terrifying murderous intent enveloped their minds, finally snapping them out of their stupor. Immediately, Hui Jue formed formulas to cast a technique, summoning a giant illusory Golden Bell to block the giant’s palm!
Boom!
The terrifying black palm struck heavily on the illusory Golden Bell!
The Protective Golden Bell, which was the pride of Jianan Temple, was shattered by the palm as if it were made of paper!
Golden fragments scattered like stardust, as Monk Hui Jue’s body below the bell was smashed into a bloody pulp!
Hui Sheng, having narrowly escaped death, clutched the long staff in his hand, looking up at the terrifying figure with dark-golden patterns before him, completely terrified and speechless.
"Please, spare me!"
"As long as you spare this monk, I’ll do whatever you want!"
Monk Hui Sheng was utterly cowed.
Despite possessing cultivation at the Perfection of Void Observation, at this moment, he didn’t even have the courage to fight back.
Feeling Xu Zhan’s aura from the terrifying giant before him, he hastily dropped the long staff magical artifact in his hand and knelt on the ground, pleading for his life.
Before him, the black giant froze momentarily, the eye-like glyphs on its chest flickered with light, then glowed intensely!
The eerie glow shone onto Monk Hui Sheng, pinning him to the spot.
Enveloped by the glow, Monk Hui Sheng showed an expression of agony, mouth agape, yet unable to make any sound.
Gradually, his flesh and blood began to dissolve slowly under the eerie glow, and within a few breaths, only a white skeleton remained!
At that moment, all three Great Cultivators from Jianan Temple dispatched to combat, who were at the Perfection of Void Observation, died tragically on the spot.
After slaying Hui Sheng and Hui Jue, the headless giant’s form suddenly came to a halt.
On the other side, Xu Zhan, exuding dense Yin Qi, had already awakened.
As the anomalies on his body vanished, Xu Zhan opened his eyes, frowning as he looked at the headless giant. With a mere thought, the headless giant transformed into a black light and merged into his left arm.
Slowly rolling up his sleeve, Xu Zhan saw a strange dark-golden rune mark appearing on the skin on the outer side of his left arm.
"The ’Nine Fiends Gathering Body Technique’ can do this too?"
Feeling the immense increase in power in his left arm, a smile appeared on Xu Zhan’s face as he gathered up the three monks’ storage bags and nearby spoils, then headed towards another battlefield.
...
Imperial City Zen Temple.
In a dark secret chamber, Monk Hui Yuan’s withered body was emitting strange halos.
Within those halos, the illusory image of a seven or eight-year-old bald child stood quietly.
The bald child was forming formulas with its hands, eyes tightly shut.
But with the death of Hui Wu and the others in battle, the child’s eyes suddenly snapped open.
"The strength of the Shen Family is really this formidable?"
"World Honored One, what happened?"
Monk Hui Yuan asked in confusion upon hearing his muttering.
The childlike apparition stepped out from the golden halo, radiating colorful rays like a noble deity.
"Hui Jue and the others have all attained blissful rebirth."
"Hui Jie and Hui Jing as well..."
Hearing these words left Monk Hui Yuan speechless with shock.
After a while——
"Please, World Honored One, take action."
"For these past years, those beasts of Celestial Sandalwood Mountain have been eyeing my Jianan Temple. If we lose too many at the hands of the Shen Family now, after this great harvest ends, I’m afraid the beasts of Celestial Sandalwood Mountain won’t resist causing trouble."
Upon hearing this, the World Honored One’s apparition did not respond immediately.
It formed formulas with its hands, crimson threads extending from its fingertips into the surrounding void.
As the threads vibrated, a profound and mysterious aura immediately permeated the surroundings.
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Black Water Pavilion.
Shen Yuan was sitting cross-legged, suddenly feeling something, his eyes instantly snapping open.
"Again?"
With a cold sneer, he whispered, "Then let me see your skills."
Before the words even faded, a milky white glow enveloped his body, as lines formed from the Power of Great Derivation vanished into the void.
"You must also desire this power, right?"
Without pausing, Shen Yuan muttered under his breath.
