Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, ”This is Buddha’s Blood, and you should know what it is.”

”Buddha’s Blood?” The Saintess widened her eyes and said in surprise, ”This is Buddha’s Blood. Are you referring to that Buddha? Where did it come from?”

Su Changxing thought that the Saintess and her people should know that this is a Buddha’s corpse, but now it seems like they don’t, ”Are you pretending, or do you really not know?”

The Saintess showed a look of astonishment, ”This thing didn’t come from the Land of Slaughter, did it?”

Su Changxing nodded, ”Yes, a Buddha died here, and this is his corpse.”

The Saintess blinked, ”What you’re saying is completely different from what I know. There should be a Great Demon that died here, killed by a Buddha, so it’s called the Land of Slaughter.”

”So it seems the thing you gave me to drink should be Demon Blood, but I’ve heard that drinking Demon Blood drives you insane. I’m not sure if it’s true, but it seems false now.”

Su Changxing fell into contemplation upon hearing the Saintess’s words. He was very sure that a Buddha died here, and the Buddha Nature hidden deep underground couldn’t be fake,

but since the Saintess isn’t someone who practices Buddhist Cultivation, she can’t sense this Buddha Nature, and probably others can’t either; only he and the Buddha Son can feel it.

So the Buddha Son should be one of the people who truly knows the truth.

Su Changxing turned his head to look at the Buddha Son, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, murmuring scriptures, motionless. His legs and feet exposed skeletal remains, and a faint Buddha light emitted from his body.

”Little Monk, do you know what exactly is below?”

Before Su Changxing finished speaking, he noticed the Buddha Son’s aura rising steadily, and the Buddha Nature emanating from him becoming purer.

That was the compassionate Buddha Nature.

He was absorbing the Buddha Nature of the Land of Slaughter!

Su Changxing wanted to stop him, but it was too late. The Buddha Son’s bones gradually turned from white to dark gold, and his eyes were filled with dazzling Buddha light.

The Buddha Son’s face became hideous, ”You forced me, I didn’t want to do this either!”

Su Changxing drew his revolver with a backhand and pulled the trigger at the Buddha Son’s face. The bullet caused a violent explosion, raising dust.

The Buddha Son remained unscathed in the explosion. The golden light filled in the incomplete flesh and blood of his body. He slowly stood up, under the illumination of the golden light, his body continued to transform, becoming larger—two meters, four meters, eight meters, sixteen meters.

A gigantic Ancient Buddha appeared in front of Su Changxing, with four heads and sixteen arms, wearing luxurious clothes, with the edges inlaid with one golden bell after another.

The palpable sense of oppression came over, even the Saintess couldn’t help but take a few steps back.

The Ancient Buddha’s face was fierce, although each head had a different appearance, they all had long fangs protruding from the corners of their mouths, giving the first impression of terror, a chilling terror.

”This Buddha indeed has a problem.”

Su Changxing thought of what the Saintess said earlier, that the one who died here wasn’t Buddha but a Great Demon.

This could be a Demon Buddha!

And the Buddha Son, after absorbing its Buddha Nature, turned into this.

Filled with compassion, yet full of slaughter, giving a complete sense of rupture.

This so-called compassion was only the Demon Buddha’s own compassion, while the slaughter and terror were for others.

”You’ve slaughtered the people of this Land of Slaughter, but I only need to kill you to become Buddha!”

The Ancient Buddha’s voice came with a menacing laugh, the Buddha Son had clearly lost his previous serene composure.

Su Changxing waved one hand, and the Poison Eye in the sky turned to look at the Ancient Buddha.

The Poison Eye Domain can deepen the damage taken by those enveloped within it, and it’s a perfect match with the plague.

He showed a scornful expression and said:

”It seems you fit well with this Demon Buddha, only because you have a demon in your heart, you monks all have demons in your hearts, long since lost your way.”

”Lost way? If I am Buddha, how can there be talk of losing the way!” The Ancient Buddha’s chest opened a bulging, large, pure black eye, with a thin pupil and a tail end forming a triangle, clearly not a human eye.

This must be the manifestation of the Demon Buddha’s eye.

Su Changxing, observing his appearance, laughed, ”Your obsession with Buddha, yet becoming a demon, isn’t it too ridiculous.”

The third arm of the Ancient Buddha’s left hand opened another eye, and the ground around his feet turned golden, ”How can a demon spreading the plague understand?”

Everyone preaches kindness to others, but ultimately they remain stubborn and unenlightened.

Su Changxing came to understand that this Buddha is no different from people; it’s just a disguise.

”Little Monk, do you think just because you’re wearing a costume, I can’t deal with you?”

”Now that I possess the Buddha’s body, how can your heretical ways approach me?” The Buddha Son’s voice was heard, extremely confident that Su Changxing had no way with him.

The Ancient Buddha’s arms lengthened and struck down together, smashing the ground with a roaring sound, causing the earth to split open, snow and water splashing into the air, along with others’ mangled bodies.

Su Changxing’s figure appeared in another place, one hand behind his back, calmly watching the Ancient Buddha, ”The more you struggle, the faster you die.”

The Buddha Son knew that Su Changxing had the means to move, and was prepared for it. The moment Su Changxing appeared, a Buddha’s Hand came from above to grab him.

With the violent airflow, his clothing fluttered wildly, and beneath the icy snow, the golden palm seemed even colder, like a solid piece of iron.

This time, Su Changxing didn’t dodge. The dusk’s light refracted through the surrounding space, manifesting a dense web of chains, stopping the giant Buddha’s palm before him, unable to move further.

After advancing again, he unearthed all the power he had accumulated before; at this moment, he was more than twice as strong as before advancing.

”You!!”

The Buddha Son found himself unable to move the Buddha’s hand at all, voicing his shock.

Su Changxing raised his revolver and pulled the trigger at the giant Buddha’s hand, and with a thundering sound, the entire Buddha’s hand was penetrated by the bullet and then shattered like glass, falling to the ground.

”You merely absorbed the surface of this Demon Buddha’s power; how can you surpass me?”

Su Changxing toyed with the revolver lightly as he spoke.

The Ancient Buddha took two steps towards him, but then stopped, collapsing to the ground, and some dark green substance appeared on the Ancient Buddha’s Golden Body.

”What is this!”

The Buddha Son’s voice was filled with terror.

He certainly knew what it was, familiar with it; wasn’t it the plague?

This was exactly what terrified him, how this plague could corrode the Buddha’s body.

The enormous Ancient Buddha’s body began to disintegrate, revealing the Buddha Son’s ruined form, his eyes vacant, staring blankly at Su Changxing: ”Why, why.”

He remained like this until death, with a face full of confusion and helplessness.

Maybe it wasn’t the Buddha Son’s path that was wrong, but rather the paths of these monks were all wrong.

The mistake was in seeking demons while clinging to Buddha, the incongruence causing their own rupture and distortion.

The Saintess stood not far away, looking stunned, not expecting that even with such powerful strength, the Buddha Son was defeated by Su Changxing.

”Impressive, I knew he wasn’t your match.” She noticed Su Changxing’s gaze and quickly complimented him with a beaming smile.

Su Changxing nodded, ”You do have an eye for things.”

Then he glanced around the camp but didn’t see Qu Ping.

”Qu Ping?”

He called out, seeing Qu Ping crawling out from a snow pile behind the rocks.

Qu Ping came over, with snowflakes covering his face and an awkward smile. The plague virus on him had been dispelled by Su Changxing, ”Haha, you know, I wasn’t planning to escape, just watching and waiting for the right moment.”

Su Changxing was sure this guy was ready to flee at the first sign of trouble, but he didn’t mind, laughing, ”What if I hadn’t won?”

Qu Ping clapped his hands, expressing righteously, ”Of course, I’d fight this bald donkey to the death.”
