Chapter 304: Heaven is ruthless, but humanity has its own laws
Chapter 304: Heaven is ruthless, but humanity has its own laws
As soon as Xu Qing's manuscript caught fire, the surrounding air was instantly sucked out, making a sharp whistle.
Then, thousands of golden seal characters jumped out from the ashes like burning elves, each one flashing a mysterious light.
They gathered into streams of light and sank into the ancient and majestic Heaven-shaking Bow like meteors.
The runes on the bow were awakened, turning into illusory light and shadows, rising from the quiver into the sky, circling and interweaving in the air, and finally condensed into eight ancient characters: "Heaven is ruthless, but humanity has laws."
In an instant, King Lin felt the blood and energy in his body surge like a surging wave, resonating with the ground veins under his feet. His heartbeat was like the pulse of the earth, and his breathing was like the breathing of mountains and rivers.
Before the bow could be drawn, the towering mountains were already shaking, as if in fear of the impending power.
Each ink character turned into a huge golden light and rose into the sky.
As soon as the word "天" came out, the purple starlight poured down like a rainstorm, and the night sky was instantly covered with mysterious starlight;
The word "Tao" is connected to the dragon energy of the earth. Golden light surges from the depths of the earth. A giant dragon coils and the dragon energy continuously injects into thousands of seal characters.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of seal characters, packed with endless power, poured into the bow like a rolling galaxy.
King Lin's brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes were determined and resolute.
He took a deep breath, planted his feet firmly on the ground, and his legs seemed to take root, bursting out with all his strength, pulling the bow with all his strength, as if to gather the power of heaven and earth. His knuckles burst instantly, and bright red blood gushed out like a fountain, but was absorbed by the inscription on the bow before it hit the ground.
At the same time, the ground beneath his feet rose like a boiling sea, and the energy of the earth's veins was like a surging torrent, flowing along the three yin meridians of the foot into his dantian.
Behind him, the magnificent landscape slowly emerged, and the mountains, rivers, cities and villages came alive.
Before the bowstring was moved, the surrounding ancient cypresses were broken in half by the terrifying force, and the annual rings of the broken ends naturally formed the pattern of the word "law". The waterfall not far away rushed up against the sky, condensing in the air into four huge water characters "Humanity has law", each of which was shining with crystal light.
Boom boom boom! One after another, the shadows of the arrow souls rolled in the clouds and formed a formation, transforming into a three-meter-high golden plaque hanging high in the sky.
The strokes of the inscription on the plaque are like fighting dragons, and the sword energy bursting out between the left and right strokes is like lightning across the sky, heading straight for the protective Buddha light of the Snow Region Living Buddha.
In the Buddhist fantasy world of the Living Buddha of the Snow Region, the laughter suddenly turned into exclamations. The souls that were indulging in bliss saw the real starry sky, and half of them broke free from the illusion and turned into fireflies to pounce on the Heaven-shaking Bowstring. Although their light was weak, when gathered together, it formed a force that could not be ignored.
The shouts of thousands of people rang in Lin Tianwang's ears, including the farmers' calls, the scholars' recitation, and the blacksmith's shouts.
These voices gathered into a powerful spiritual force. The shadows of the farmer's hoe, the scholar's brush, and the blacksmith's hammer all gathered at the arrowhead, injecting endless hope into this arrow.
Lin Tianwang's bones exploded with a frying sound, and his spine rose and fell like a dragon, causing the surrounding air to fluctuate violently. When the bow opened to the full moon, Xu Qing's shadow slowly appeared behind him.
The founder of the Immortal Dynasty used his finger as a pen to write the last decree in the void:
"For the sake of sacrifice, I dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky!"
As this decree appeared, the power between heaven and earth began to boil.
Without any warning, the golden body of the Living Buddha of Snowland was instantly covered with dense spider-web-like cracks, and the "sizzling" sound was sharp and piercing, as if it was going to tear this piece of space apart alive.
Golden blood surged out of his eyes uncontrollably, and in mid-air strangely condensed into the character "卍" that emitted a strange glow.
The originally peaceful and tranquil Buddhist fantasy world was now as fragile as glass, and it shattered piece by piece under the impact of this powerful force. The thousands of souls trapped in it let out shrill screams, which were filled with endless pain and despair, as if they were going to tear people's souls apart.
The scriptures on the ancient dusk drum peeled off from the drum surface inch by inch. As the scriptures fell, the sad and weeping face of Sakyamuni slowly emerged on the drum skin, as if he was mourning for the disaster with compassion.
The Living Buddha knew that the situation had reached a critical moment. His face was extremely distorted by anger and unwillingness, and his facial features seemed to be out of place. He roared at the top of his lungs, and his hands formed the Demon Subduing Seal at a very fast speed. This Demon Subduing Seal, which condensed the highest demon-subduing power of the Tantric Buddhism, was his last trump card. However, in front of the surging arrow energy that seemed to be materialized, this powerful Buddhist power seemed so vulnerable.
A sharp arrow came whistling with an unstoppable momentum, so fast that people couldn't even blink. It was like a sharp blade that could cut through iron like mud, and it instantly cut off three fingers of the Living Buddha.
As soon as the three severed fingers fell to the ground, they underwent a strange transformation, instantly transforming into three golden and jade pestles. The runes on the pestles flickered and jumped, as if they were struggling unwillingly, trying to release the last bit of strength to protect the dignity of Buddhism that was about to collapse.
At this moment, the dark clouds in the distant sky suddenly seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand. A dark crack suddenly appeared, and in the crack, Xu Qing's demon body, wrapped in rolling black fog, slowly descended.
Wherever he went, the air seemed to be tinged with a layer of horror, making people shudder. The space around him was like a distorted canvas, constantly deforming and wrinkling with him as the center.
Xu Qing's right hand slowly stretched out. His normal knuckles suddenly expanded three times in an instant, and his nails turned into sharp black iron blades that flashed with cold light. Just by passing through the air, they tore the surrounding air apart, making a sharp whistling sound.
In the blink of an eye, his hand pierced into the core of the Dusk Drum. The Dusk Drum was like a severely injured life, trembling violently and emitting a painful "buzzing" groaning sound.
When the Living Buddha saw this scene, his anger reached its peak, and he laughed out loud towards the sky.
He poured all of the remaining Buddha power in his body into the morning bell beside him without reservation, and at the same time roared like a Vajra Zen lion: "How dare the devil touch the Buddha's treasure?"
Instantly, the morning bell rang loudly, and the sound spread out. Golden ripples spread out in all directions like waves, with the morning bell as the center.
But when the golden ripples touched the thick black fog around Xu Qing, a shocking scene occurred. The seemingly sacred and inviolable Buddha light, under the erosion of the Taichu Demon Qi, was like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun, and quickly turned into a pool of smelly pus, emitting bursts of pungent stench.
From Xu Qing's left eye, purple starlight suddenly burst out. The light was so bright and dazzling that it instantly illuminated the entire dark battlefield, just like the dawn of day. His right eye was swallowing up the North Sea vortex, and endless devouring power emanated from it, as if nothing in the world could escape its attraction.
Behind his true demon body, two demon shadows emerged. Each demon shadow exuded a unique and strange aura, and each had a different seal.
The first demon shadow was agile and nimble, and turned his palm into a knife. The knife flashed by, and the speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch. The barrier of the morning bell was instantly split by this knife light, and the light when the barrier was broken bloomed like a gorgeous firework, illuminating the entire sky.
The second demon shadow was even more amazing, performing the Five Thunder Handprint. Lightning flashed in the palm of his hand, and thick lightning surged like a dragon. The mighty thunder force, with the momentum of destroying the world, pressed the living Buddha three feet into the ground. A huge deep pit was instantly left on the ground, and dust flew all over the sky for a long time.
The evil spirit continued to corrode the Dusk Drum, which shrank rapidly under the pressure of this terrifying force. From its original towering behemoth, it eventually turned into a fist-sized bone drum and gently fell into Xu Qing's palm.
The moment he grasped the bone drum, a powerful force surged into his body, making the demonic energy around him even stronger, as if it was about to break through the sky.
The entire ancient temple could no longer withstand the impact of this powerful force and collapsed with a loud bang. A dark spring gushed out from the ground, and the spring water rolled and exuded a sickening smell of death.
King Lin had been observing the battle from the sidelines. Seeing this perfect opportunity, he took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling violently. The muscles around him were as tight as steel, and his veins bulged, like little snakes ready to attack at any time.
He used all his strength to pull the Heaven-shaking Bow to its limit. The bowstring was pulled tightly, making a buzzing sound, as if it was playing the final passionate battle song for this thrilling battle.
With a firm and sharp gaze, he accurately drove three arrows into the acupuncture points on the Living Buddha's body. On the arrowheads, the seal characters of "The Law of the Immortal Dynasty" flashed with mysterious light, and instantly turned into chains, extending towards the remaining souls of the Buddha Kingdom who were trying to escape.
The remaining souls wailed in pain under the chains, their voices were extremely miserable. In the end, they were all sealed into the earth veins.
Xu Qing's demon body stepped on the waves of the Nether Spring and slowly went away. His figure gradually blurred in the darkness and became increasingly unclear.
However, his wanton and arrogant laughter was heard in the wind: "Thank you for the gift, Master. This drum should be hung on the execution platform of the Immortal Dynasty to suppress the evil spirits in all directions!"
The laughter echoed between heaven and earth for a long time.
