Chapter 942: Chapter 236: Blood Asura God Shocking Finger

In the Vitas Temple at this time, apart from the Asura hosts in the sky, there were also a multitude of Divine Guards and Feitian warriors. Although they were unable to approach the battlefield, they kept tight vigil outside the perimeter, initially to block Tang Luo’s breakthrough. Witnessing the masked madman’s vigorous energy crisscrossing, and his punch strong as a pillar, toppling one temple after another, they were unable to contain their fury. However, upon seeing the shattered, hollow statues of gods strewn about, they were dismayed and at a loss.

Not all the Divine Guards were kinsfolk of the Feitian lineage. Most were either nobles or monks, dedicated followers who had offered all their devotion to the deities.

In their hearts, the scriptures and faith were the most sacred, and the Feitian lineage was even believed to be a clan blessed by divine favor. Therefore, faced with these broken fragments, they desperately needed an explanation.

The clamorous questioning voices turned the faces of the Asura hosts in the sky ashen, and even Liaoyin, the monk, couldn’t help but look serious upon witnessing the scene.

After withdrawing his fist and standing tall, Tang Luo folded his arms across his chest and said coldly, “Local bullies who harm the people are only successful temporarily. Even the most heinous bandits do nothing more than rob and kill. However, the Feitian Sect squeezes every drop of blood from people, enslaves their descendants, and what’s more absurd is that these evil spirits actually consider themselves deities, expecting gratitude and reverence! Liaoyin, I’m asking you, if this isn’t a cult, then what is?”

“This…” Liaoyin, the monk, was momentarily at a loss for words, only able to shake his head and chant, “Namu duanyi bayu chuming Buddha.”

People are always quick to recognize the overt evils but often fail to see the hidden ones. noveldrama

Thugs who bully by the power are mostly doomed to meet their ends, but hypocrites filled with righteousness only in speech often rise to high positions, garner respect, and even pride themselves on their virtues.

The scriptures of the Feitian Sect might be blameless, but there must be serious issues with the Xiushi clan that presides over them.

Although the Wilderness is poor in resources, it possesses quite a few mines. If the Feitian Sect were truly virtuous, the Wilderness would not be in such poverty. One only needs to look at the Paradise to understand.

It teems with fine wines from Siam and dancers from Zhongzhou, with pavilions and towers decorated extravagantly. Could this wealth have possibly fallen from the sky?

Liaoyin was tasked to protect the Feitian Sect, and he blamed himself. However, he was unable to reverse right and wrong, to call a deer a horse. And the exposed Asuras, having been seen through, could only glare at Tang Luo in fury but dared not lower their heads to answer the Divine Guards’ questions.

As the Asura hosts and Zen Master Liaoyin were at their wits’ end, the Xiushi Emperor suddenly burst out shouting fiercely at Tang Luo, “The Feitian Sect is the orthodox Zen recognized by Buddha’s Country in Zhongzhou, ranked among the 84,000 orthodox scriptures. Even if there are any faults, it’s not the place of an outsider to meddle. I advise you to immediately hand over the Asura Divine Heart and do not make a mistake out of ignorance!”

“Your Excellency speaks sensibly,” Liaoyin, the monk, nodded and earnestly addressed Tang Luo, “Even if the Feitian Sect has various issues, reforms should be mandated by Buddha’s Country and arranged by a Great Zen Master. Sir, since you’re not an impartial outsider, please return the Divine Heart.”

After all, he was a revered protector of the faith sent to the Wilderness by Buddha’s Country. Even with a million reluctances, Liaoyin could not just watch Tang Luo walk away with the Divine Heart.

“So, why bother putting on an act as if you want to talk reason?”

The man in the mask spoke with a raspy voice full of irony, “You regard Liaoyin as your support, thinking that with a Great Zen Master from Buddha’s Country here, you’ll be safe. However, I simply don’t buy it. I have taken the Asura Divine Heart, and if you’re capable, come and get it yourself!”

“Namu duanyi bayu chuming Buddha,” Liaoyin chanted solemnly, “Sir, do you realize what you are actually saying?”

With a curl of his lip, Tang Luo said indifferently, “Why does the great monk feign ignorance? Just make your move, I too am curious to see if the might of the Esoteric Sect’s great supernatural powers is truly as fierce as the legends proclaim!”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Liaoyin the monk stretched out his hand. A vast handprint formed from the boundless Buddha’s light and compassion from the heavens covered the sky, shading the sun as if a divine miracle.

The polite and venerable personage of the Esoteric Sect had decided to take action and was certainly not one to dally. Narrowing his eyes and looking up, Tang Luo watched the ever-approaching Esoteric Sect’s great handprint and without dodging or ducking, he stretched out a finger. Two streams of pure Innate Qi wrapped around the dense Blood Fiend.

The three intertwined, transforming into a divine brilliance that shot up to the heavens, piercing through the supreme handprint of the Esoteric Sect; Liaoyin was greatly shocked and changed color.

The Xiushi Emperor too was shocked and angry, disbelievingly staring at Tang Luo, and muttered in dismay, “How is it possible for someone to integrate the Asura Divine Heart!?”

“In the martial path, there are no impossibilities.” Tang Luo, having executed the Blood Asura God Shocking Finger, placed his hands behind his back and arrogantly said, “Just because the Feitian Sect cannot do it, does not mean that I cannot. Liaoyin the Great Zen Master is a worthy opponent, indeed allowing me to test whether the Asura Divine Heart, nurtured with thousands of years of pure Blood Fiend, can break through the spirit body of a grandmaster!”

The demonic flames towering in the sky exuded a domineering aura; the Asura crowd withdrew a step without a sound, and even Liaoyin the Great Zen Master couldn’t help but become serious, summoning two Dharma wheels before him out of nowhere.

Their reaction was entirely understandable—Blood Fiend was after all considered the most vile and filthy poison between heaven and earth, and the Asura Divine Heart was the ultimate destination of the Evil Qi, born from the sea of blood.

Thousands of years of cultivation by the Feitian Sect had made the Asura Divine Heart astonishingly powerful; even Tang Luo’s fourth-grade Xuanwu body would crumble upon contact, so how could ordinary martial artists withstand it?

It’s true that the spiritualized flesh of a grandmaster is highly compatible with Spirit Arts, but that definitely does not include the all-corroding Blood Fiend Qi. The fact that the Esoteric Sect’s ultimate technique, the great handprint, was so easily defeated, is proof of this.

“Why the look of facing a great enemy?” Tang Luo taunted, moving his hands from behind his back to the front, spreading them open and addressing everyone, “Don’t you wish to experience the Blood Asura God Shocking Finger that I have just mastered?”

“Namo Amitabha. Dispelling doubts, uprooting desires, and eradicating the dark Buddha.” Liaoyin said with a steady voice, “Since sir has integrated the Asura Divine Heart, you have severed the roots of the Feitian Sect and formally declared war against Buddha’s Country. Although I am unskilled, I am keen to witness the supernatural power that led you to offend Buddha’s Country, to see just how remarkable it is!”

Om, Ah, Hum. The Victorious Venerable Eight Auspicious!”

A ten-thousand-foot Buddha’s light surged from behind Liaoyin, piercing the sky, and from it descended seven Divine Lights, each harboring a Buddha treasure.

A nephrite vase, a rhodolite umbrella, gold and silver Pisces, a nine-petal lotus, a six-striped white conch, a thousand-thread auspicious knot, and a victorious banner—along with the initial two Dharma wheels, these were the eight divine objects of the Esoteric Sect.

The handprint of the grand monk was formidable at first glance, so Tang Luo almost immediately rushed forward at the sound of “Om,” but the two Dharma wheels summoned by Liaoyin seemed to have eyes, blocking his path.

Though Tang Luo’s heavy punches flew like hammers, sending the twin wheels flying, it also allowed Liaoyin to complete his secret technique. Protected by the seven Buddha treasures, his might was awe-inspiring.
