Chapter 549 - 17: The Buddha’s Gift, Victorious Buddha Demon Venerate
However, at this moment, as the Tao Embryo body nourishes the Divine Soul, the Spiritual Will transcends and elevates, even this bit of Spirit Light receives nourishment and begins to reappear.
The Spirit Light rises, swallowing the Power of the Mind, the power of the Tao Embryo, and the power of the Heavenly Dao. A sheet of golden light rises, the waters of the Celestial River cascade down, the glory of the mind shines universally, lifting up a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Saber.
This Three-Pointed Double-Edged Saber is formless and without substance, yet it connects the inner with the outer. The waters of the Celestial River wash over it like a waterfall; the power of the Tao Embryo transforms into golden light to nourish it; and the Spiritual Will outlines its form and essence.
This saber instantly unified all of Lu Chengfeng’s powers except his physical body.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The blade hummed, the sound clear and resonant, vibrating through the Nine Heavens.
"Fighting Dharma Form!"
Lu Chengfeng understood almost instantly that he had condensed the prototype of the Fighting Dharma Form.
Yes, it is just a prototype, nothing more.
Unable to step into the Cyan Nether or enter the Nine Nether, how could it be said to be a Fighting Dharma Form?
Normally, the Immortal Gods only qualify to attempt to fuse the Totem and cultivate the Fighting Dharma Form after their minds achieve Nether Union.
Yet, by coincidence, Lu Chengfeng condensed the Fighting Dharma Form before his mind had formally entered the Nether Union Realm.
The hum of the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Saber gave Lu Chengfeng a bit of clarity away from obsession with the Zizai Celestial Demon’s sexual desire.
Though he wished to stop, he could not take control.
For over three months, a hundred days under the Bodhi Tree, with every allure and change, the Zizai Celestial Demon unfolded one by one. If it were an ordinary person, even a Dharma Form Great Power would have been exhausted, their Divine Soul drained to nothing.
Even a Celestial Venerate would avoid it as a deadly serpent.
Yet Lu Chengfeng relied on the Three-Life Golden Lotus, with endless bodily strength, inexhaustible mana from the Lotus Seed Tao Embryo, and his Divine Soul not only did not exhaust but continually transcended and ascended amidst Purifying the Heart with Sexual Desire, almost lost in desire but saved by the clarity guarded by the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Saber.
After yet another drain of Essence Qi, the Zizai Celestial Demon finally stopped, her flawless body seemed to be nourished, becoming more radiant and enchanting, with a rosy luster on her face, radiant and alluring.
She originally knelt on the ground, but now she stood up, her entire demeanor exuding an irresistible allure, every part of her was a beauty—every inch of skin mesmerizing, as if containing all the beauty that every man yearns for.
Gently draping a veil, she stepped out and lay sideways on the Three-Life Golden Lotus, revealing a swath of snow-white skin, as if somewhat tired; her eyelids drooped slightly, making it hard for anyone to see clearly.
"Having acquired the power of the Three-Life Golden Lotus and taken me, the people of the Sumeru Continent will not spare you."
"If you want to survive, there’s only one way."
"Which is to kill the Sumeru Celestial Venerate, let him completely vanish, sweep the Sumeru Continent, eradicate the Buddhist Sect."
"Otherwise, one day, they will extract your soul, flay your skin, accuse you of desecrating the Buddha, and condemn you to never reincarnate."
"Go on, leave; you should go."
With a thought, mana flowed from the Lotus Seed Tao Embryo, forming into a golden robe to wrap around his robust body.
He looked at the Zizai Celestial Demon half-lying on the Three-Life Golden Lotus, clueless about what to say.
Logically, not only did he not suffer a loss, but he gained immensely, even taking everything from the Zizai Celestial Demon herself.
Yet...
This woman left the body of the Three-Life Golden Lotus behind, which essentially controls his lifeblood.
Moreover, she made him provoke an unbelievably difficult enemy, a terrifyingly powerful force.
The Sumeru Continent lineage, as an ancient legacy from Ancient Times, is the Three Saints’ lineage, undying for millions of years, surviving countless Great Emperors, its legacy enduring perpetually, producing Celestial Venerates in every era.
Against such an ancient and colossal sect, even the Empress has to compromise and yield, conferring the present Sumeru Continent Living Buddha as the Sumeru Celestial Venerate. Although nominally sworn to the Divine Court, it remains autonomous and beyond Divine Court jurisdiction.
To be against such an ancient and vast sect is enough to make one’s scalp tingle with anxiety.
What’s more, it’s said that the Living Buddha is Buddha’s obsession, reborn every hundred thousand years, though with no memory of past lives, my years are exceedingly long.
Such an existence is even more terrifying than other Celestial Venerates, and who can guarantee not provoking an already transcendent Buddha?
Yet, this time, Lu Chengfeng didn’t feel troubled or fearful.
People, he took from them.
Benefits, he reaped from them.
Wanting to walk away clean is not so easy.
More importantly, in the memory of the next hundred thousand years, Sumeru Continent originally colluded and conspired with Chu Tiange, and ultimately that Sumeru Celestial Venerate teamed up with Chu Tiange to plot against the Empress.
In other words, they were the enemy to begin with.
Moreover...
Lu Chengfeng could clearly sense that his Gifted Talent had already established an incredibly subtle connection with the Zizai Celestial Demon, yet this woman hadn’t detected the slightest bit from start to finish.
The mystery of the Gifted Talent had once again exceeded his understanding.
A venerable Celestial Venerate, an ancient Celestial Demon living from Buddha’s era to the present, unknowingly fell prey to his silent measures without any awareness.
Such a method is simply terrifying!
"If this one is killed... it will transform into my Guardian True Spirit!"
Lu Chengfeng’s heart was already so excited that he couldn’t contain himself; the Zizai Celestial Demon thought she could control him, unaware that she had long become a fish on the chopping board, just waiting to be slaughtered and becoming a grand meal.
