Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 3772: The Three Lives Buddha’s Arrangement

The wolf had truly arrived. The Catastrophic Scepter, engulfed in flames, struck down powerfully.

The slightly sentient innate primordial material didn’t dodge or evade but instead met the scepter head-on.

Bang!

A crisp sound reverberated, shaking the soul. Cracks spread across the material, and numerous rifts appeared in the surrounding void.

Beyond the rifts lay a vacuum zone. This vacuum zone was part of the virtual-illusory realm.

Two overlapping spaces made it difficult to distinguish reality from illusion.

Bang!

Another strike shattered the material into several pieces.

Despite being broken into fragments, the material retained its considerable size and quality.

Its sentience weakened but remained intact, making it superior to any other material Lin Moyu had acquired before.

As Lin Moyu prepared to collect it, a piercing scream erupted from within the material a scream composed of countless voices that shook the soul.

Little Python let out a cry of pain as its soul was injured, causing it to faint on the spot.

Lin Moyu frowned. “What is this?”

It truly was a ghost numerous souls emerged from the core of the material. These souls included virtual beasts, humans, and Outsiders all tangled together into a grotesque form.

“So that’s what it is!”

Lin Moyu quickly understood these were souls of beings who had lost their way in this virtual-illusory realm and died within it. Their fragmented souls had been absorbed by the primordial material and fused together over time.

These fragmented souls had long lost their intelligence, reduced to mere instincts and obsessions no different from wandering ghosts.

However, because they were once powerful beings, their combined strength now surpassed that of a Dao Lord.

Without hesitation, Lin Moyu activated his Thousand Paths and Myriad Images Formation at full power to engulf them.

Simultaneously, he unleashed World-Burning Fire into the formation to incinerate the fragmented souls.

When dealing with souls, World-Burning Fire was undoubtedly the most effective tool.

The fragmented souls screamed in agony under its flames as Lin Moyu murmured softly, “Rest in peace and reincarnate smoothly in your next life.”

His words seemed directed at these souls like a prayer for their release.

He tossed out another soul flower to envelop Little Python, whose injuries had left it gravely weakened.

Meanwhile, the circular primordial material remained divided into five fragments enduring World-Burning Fire’s relentless blaze.

Thanks to its innate nature, even years under such flames wouldn’t damage its structure.

The real targets were the fragmented souls trapped within.

One by one, the souls were refined into soul crystals despite being mere remnants.

Suddenly, a radiant glow burst forth from World-Burning Fire, and a lotus of light appeared in the void.

“Amidha Buddha!”

A resonant Buddhist chant echoed as a golden Buddha manifested atop the lotus.

This golden Buddha was merely a remnant soul its body hazy and ethereal but its former strength was undeniable.

“This is someone beyond Dao Lord level!”

“But how could a Buddha appear here? Weren’t they buried long ago?”

Questions filled Lin Moyu’s mind as he observed this Buddha.

Seated atop the lotus, the golden Buddha temporarily resisted World-Burning Fire. It turned its gaze toward Lin Moyu. “Benefactor, you are fated with my Buddha.”

Lin Moyu frowned inwardly. “Fated my foot.”

Before Lin Moyu could respond, the golden Buddha spoke again. “Denying fate is futile; the Three Lives Secret Method cannot be deceived.”

Lin Moyu’s body trembled slightly as he guessed the Buddha’s identity. “You’re one of the Three Lives Buddhas?”

“Amidha Buddha!” The golden Buddha chanted once more before continuing, “The Three Lives Buddha has passed; I am his incarnation named Rebirth. I have been waiting here for you.”

Lin Moyu found this increasingly unbelievable. “You’ve been waiting for me?”

Rebirth Buddha explained, “The Three Lives Buddha peered into the River of Fate and foresaw future traces, including his inevitable death. Thus he created me as an incarnation named Rebirth to await you here.”

If true, the Three Lives Buddha possessed extraordinary abilities to glimpse past, present, and future.

Lin Moyu asked skeptically, “If that’s so, why are you in such a state?”

Rebirth Buddha replied, “When the Three Lives Buddha perished with his era, I too could not survive as his incarnation. My only means of survival was merging with this innate primordial material.”

“Fortunately, the Three Lives Buddha’s foresight was accurate allowing Rebirth to meet you here a blessing indeed!”

Lin Moyu asked bluntly, “Why have you been waiting for me?”

Rebirth Buddha explained further, “The Three Lives Buddha glimpsed a secret land within the River of Fate where he left certain items behind.”

“However, fate is ever-changing and whether you can find them remains uncertain even beyond his vision.”

Contemplating these words, Lin Moyu weighed their credibility.

From what he knew, the Three Lives Buddha had been killed by Origin Continent’s world will.

If aware of its existence beforehand, it wasn’t impossible for him to make preparations.

As one of his era’s strongest figures and creator of the Three Lives Secret Method the Three Lives Buddha’s power likely surpassed even that of the Hell Master.

Perhaps he had attempted resistance back then but ultimately failed.

Rebirth Buddha waited patiently for Lin Moyu’s decision without pressing him further.

After some thought, Lin Moyu asked quietly: “Where is this secret land located?”

Rebirth Buddha answered: “In Radiant Light Great Spirit Domain. If you choose to go I will use my remaining soul power to open a path for you.”

“Teleportation within Soul Void?” Lin Moyu marveled at such an ability it was beyond his current capabilities.

That someone like Rebirth could achieve this spoke volumes about how powerful the Three Lives Buddha must have been during his prime.

Yet even he had fallen to Origin Continent’s world will a testament to its overwhelming strength.

And that world will was only at its formative stage.

Imagining what an eternal-stage world will would be like sent chills through Lin Moyu.

He asked cautiously: “What if I choose not to go?”

Rebirth Buddha replied calmly: “The Three Lives Buddha foresaw such possibilities it would simply mean fate has decided otherwise; it cannot be forced.”

“Just as you are destined to inherit parts of his Three Lives Secret Method this too is tied to karma and destiny.”

“I am merely an incarnation left here for millennia to relay this message; my task is complete and I shall now dissipate.”

Lin Moyu made up his mind. “In that case I’ll go take a look.”

Rebirth Buddha chanted another Buddhist mantra before declaring solemnly: “So be it I shall fulfill my duty as commanded by the Three Lives Buddha and open Soul Void’s gate for you.”

As mantras echoed through space they transformed into countless Divine Runes floating across Soul Void.

One fragment of shattered primordial material rose automatically integrating itself into these runes to form a gateway.

Watching this process unfold Lin Moyu noticed one final fragment was still missing from completing the gate.

Using innate primordial material as energy the gate would enable teleportation within Soul Void itself.

Rebirth’s golden lotus ascended into place completing the final piece needed for activation.

By now the golden Buddha appeared increasingly translucent as though on the verge of vanishing entirely.

“Benefactor please proceed.”
