Dual Cultivation: I Summon Villainesses of Mythic Era

The ash smoke stagnated above the crater, and the Evil Buddha’s black flames licked the edges of the vitrified stone producing a continuous sizzling sound.

BaiShe slowly straightened up at the center of the devastation. Blood flowed down his cheek. Yet, his eyes carried no trace of fear. On the contrary, a psychopathic exaltation illuminated his purple pupils like two embers in the night. He felt his bones cracking under the effort, but his Omega Heart pulsed at a frantic rhythm, pumping torrents of Khao to repair the damage caused by his opponent’s titanic punch.

The entity facing him no longer had anything of the serene monk that Chong Da had been. The Evil Buddha now measured nearly four meters tall, and its presence crushed the air around it. Its scarlet skin, inherited from the Ashura, was streaked with corrupted Buddhist tattoos that glowed with a purple light with each beat of its monstrous heart.

Its eyes were two wells of nothingness, and they stared at BaiShe with a hatred that seemed to date from the beginning of time, a millennial hatred accumulated through centuries of captivity and rage.

A roar emerged from its throat, and this roar was composed of millions of superimposed voices screaming in perfect harmony.

"A mere insect that gets back up after tasting my justice," thundered the Evil Buddha’s voice, and this resonance made the stones around them tremble. "Your body is robust, Devourer, but your existence is an error that I will erase from this world. You should never have been born, and I will correct this aberration."

BaiShe let out a stifled laugh, and this melodious sound quickly transformed into a predator’s smirk that revealed his white teeth still tinged with blood. He adjusted his monocle with insulting slowness, ignoring the searing pain in his cracked forearm that radiated all the way to his shoulder.

"You talk a lot for a corpse that just fused with a freak," replied BaiShe in a monotone voice, while his aura began to change radically. The pressure around him suddenly became heavier, more oppressive. "This young scholar hates interruptions during his meals, but I must admit that your essence is much more appetizing than I had imagined. You will not only be a stepping stone on my path. You will be the main dish of my stabilization, and I will savor every bite."

Simultaneously, BaiShe released his full power without the slightest restraint. A luminous notification crossed his field of vision, accompanied by two sound signals that echoed in his mind.
