That pair of eyes was extremely huge. They had no eyelashes and were covered in blood vessels. They stared at everyone emotionlessly.
Then, cracks appeared on the ground. Each crack was an eye. Some of them were as big as a normal person's eye, while others were as big as a wheel, a water tank, or a pool. They did not have a fixed size.
However, there was one thing that was the same. Their eyes were even more terrifying than the gazes of the ancient murderers. They were even more terrifying.
The eyes on the distant mountain range suddenly turned and stared at Du 'e. Then, all the eyes stared at Du' e.
Then, countless pupils began to tremble violently.
The light from providence warned him again. Du 'e felt a chill in his heart, a bone-chilling chill. The first thing he felt was not fear, but humility.
His own humility.
The other party seemed to be formed by the will of heaven and earth. Just looking at it made Du 'e want to kneel on the ground and submit to the will of heaven and earth.
This feeling was something he had never felt even when facing Bodhisattva.
He was not the only one. Chu Yuanzhen, Li Miaozhen, Jinlian Taoist priest, and Sun Xuanji also felt the same way.
Majestic, vast, majestic … These were not enough to describe those eyes and that existence.
If they had to find a suitable word, it would be 'Heavenly'!
Everyone felt a sense of humility in their hearts.
They were born lowly.
They had never had such an experience after stepping into the Transcendence realm. Even the Jinlian Taoist priest had not felt this way when facing Luo Yuheng's Heavenly Tribulation.
"Let's go!"
As soon as Du 'e shouted, he turned around and realized that only Hengy Yuan was left beside him. Azuro had already escaped.
Du 'e did not hesitate. The Buddhist light on the nine-petal lotus platform swayed, pushing him away like a bolt of golden light.
Master Hengy Yuan followed closely behind.
"Mahayana Buddhist Dharma, Mahayana Buddhist Dharma …"
A terrifying roar came from behind.
Li Miaozhen and the others, who were watching vigilantly from afar, saw the plains come to life. The ground surged like waves, turning into earthen walls that were thousands of feet tall and blotted out the sky. They slammed towards Dhu Lohan and Hengy Yuan.
When this huge wave chased after it for several miles, the sand and soil scattered, revealing its true appearance. It was dark red flesh that covered the sky and covered the earth, like the flesh of the sea wave.
The feeling of inferiority disappeared.
Even though the other party was still terrifying, powerful to the point of making people tremble in fear, the lowly feeling of being born as a human had disappeared from everyone's hearts.
The dark red flesh and blood condensed into a huge hand that covered the sky. As soon as this huge hand appeared, it broke through the distance of space and enveloped the heads of Du 'e, Asuro, and Heng Yuan.
The Walker Dharma Form? Du 'e's heart.
The three of them continued to ride the wind. Second-grade Bandit Killing Dao Positions appeared above their heads. Seven-colored light shone brightly as they tried to resist the grab.
Li Miaozhen and the Jinlian Taoist Priest reached out their hands at the same time and frantically added good luck to the three of them.
In the nick of time, the giant hand collapsed.
The flesh and blood that formed it seemed to have lost its strength. It suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground. In an instant, it was like a mountain collapsing. The ground shook violently and dust rose.
Azuro, Du 'e, and Hengy Yuan escaped from death. They did not dare to stop until they returned to Li Miaozhen and the others' side. Only then did they dare to turn around and look back.
The dark red flesh and blood were slowly merging into the ground until they disappeared.
"I was scared to death."
Azuro rubbed his bald head.
Although Dhu Lohan and Hengy Yuan did not say anything, judging from their expressions and gazes, they probably thought the same as Azuro.
"The last time I approached, he did not hurt me …"
Du 'e pondered for a moment.
"Just now, my luck warned me. He wanted to devour me and take back my luck."
Everyone's mind was in a mess. All kinds of questions flashed through their minds. The Jinlian Taoist Priest said:
"We'll talk about this later. Let's leave the Western Regions first and return to Thunder State. We'll wait for Master Shen Shu."
After returning to Thunder State, the group landed on a deserted mountain and sat cross-legged under an ancient pine tree.
Chu Yuanzhen, the scholar with a strand of white hair on his forehead, was the first to start a conversation.
"Is that the Buddha?"
The orange cat Taoist Priest and Dhu Lohan nodded.
Master Hengy Yuan clasped his hands together and frowned. His expression was solemn.
"Why did the Buddha become like this?"
No one answered.
Turning one's body into mountains and rivers was something they had never heard of before. It exceeded their scope of understanding.
The Jinlian Taoist Priest looked at Dhu Lohan and said:
"Master said that he wants to devour you and take back your luck?"
Dhu Lohan nodded.
The Jinlian Taoist Priest slowly nodded and expressed his opinion:
"Although I didn't dare to go past him and enter the Western Regions, Dhu Lohan's words are most likely true."
He was referring to the Buddha devouring the living beings of the Western Regions and turning them into mountains and rivers.
Li Miaozhen frowned.
"But when we came, we did see many living people who were not devoured by the Buddha. There's no reason for him to only devour half … "
Before she could finish, Asolo snatched the topic. His voice was deep and masculine.
"Did you notice that when the Buddha attacked, there was an obvious change midway? Rocks and soil crumbled, revealing dark red flesh. The feeling I got from the previous and the previous states was completely different.
"He's still scary, but he seems to have lost some kind of intimidating power."
Intimidating power? He made it sound so fresh and refined when he left Du 'e and Hengy Yuan behind … Li Miaozhen muttered in her heart.
However, she could understand what Asulo meant by "intimidating the mind".
Because she had also experienced that humbleness.
Dhu Lohan nodded and said:
"And the area where he lost this power is the area where he did not assimilate."
At that moment, he saw Sun Xuanji waving his sleeves and taking out a piece of paper, brush, ink, and inkstone. He then started writing.
Chu Yuanzhen seemed to have realized something.
"Could it be that the establishment of Mahayana Buddhism caused the Buddha to lose some of his luck, causing him to be unable to expand further? That's why the Buddha's attitude towards Dhu Lohan has clearly changed. "
His conjecture was based on the premise that transcendent-grade required providence, combined with the changes in the Western Regions, and Arhat Du 'e's providence warning.
Daoist Orange Cat stroked his beard and said:
"I think so too. The Mahayana Buddhism's move was extremely effective.
"Without the support of luck, the Buddha seems to be unable to expand further. As long as we don't enter the Western Regions, we should be safe."
Everyone agreed.
Then, they noticed that Sun Xuanji was holding his brush and his posture was stiff.
They moved closer and saw that he had written on the paper:
"The Buddha has lost his luck and can't continue devouring …"
He couldn't write the rest of the sentence because Chu Yuanzhen had said it all out loud.
"Ah, this …" The Flying Swallow Heroine comforted him, "Bring Guardian Yuan along next time."
Guardian Yuan is only a Fourth Stage demon, he shouldn't be taking such risks that don't match his cultivation … The kind and simple Master Hengy Yuan thought to himself.
Good idea, scare that damned monkey to death … That was what everyone else was thinking except for Dhu Lohan.
Chu Yuanzhen immediately sent the conclusion of their discussion to the Earth Book Group.
[One: Your deduction is correct, that's about it. I've asked Duke Wei and Scholar Zhao, they don't know much about the Buddha's abnormality, but Scholar Zhao said it's most likely related to the so-called Great Tribulation.]
The Buddha's appearance is indeed worthy of being called a Great Tribulation. If he is allowed to expand further, the consequences will be unimaginable … The members of the Heaven & Earth Society knew this very well.
[One: Xu Ningyan, Xu Ningyan, did you see the message?]
He asked several times in a row, but no one answered.
[Nine: Xu Ningyan is still overseas, he hasn't returned.]
Without that uncouth Rank-1 martial artist around, everyone felt a sense of security.
[Seven: Xu Ningyan, that son of a b * tch, will he escape overseas and never come back? If he can't become a half-step Martial God, he'll probably escape. After all, he's such a womanizer.]
Shouldn't he be afraid of death? What does this have to do with womanizing? Li Lingsu took the opportunity to smear Xu Qi'an … The members of the Heaven & Earth Society criticized in their hearts.
[Two: Senior Brother, have you arrived at Nanjiang?]
[Seven: I've arrived, I'm waiting for Master Shen Shu to come out. Speaking of which, the beauties of the Fox Clan are really extraordinary. Especially Ye Ji's sisters, they are all outstanding beauties. Each of their beauty can crush you, Junior Martial Sister.]
[Two: Senior Brother, when we return to the capital, I'll tell this to my sisters-in-law. Well, unless you tell me how many beauties there are in Nanjiang.]
[Seven: Senior Brother is wrong, Senior Brother still has something to discuss with the three beauties, Youji, Lingji, and Kiyohime. Everyone, take care.]
…
In the deep sea.
The huge trench was bottomless, and it was so dark that it seemed to devour light.
Xu Qi'an scattered a handful of fiery red shells, and when they fell into the trench, he detonated them with his Qi.
The fire elements contained in the shells exploded violently, and in the dark bottom of the sea, they expanded into fireballs.
The undercurrent suddenly surged.
As the fire flickered, Xu Qi'an and Nine-Tailed Fox saw a thick tentacle coming out of the trench. It was huge like a giant python, and each sucker was as big as a water tank.
The surface of the tentacle was imprinted with incomplete lines.
Is this Transcendent Demon King Cuttlefish … Xu Qi'an was a little disillusioned. He held a curious mentality and had been looking forward to what the other party's true body looked like.
This tentacle twisted and twined, sweeping fiercely toward Nine-tailed Celestial Fox.
The undercurrent at the bottom of the sea instantly boiled, and Xu Qi'an's ears were filled with the rumbling sound of the undercurrent colliding.
More sensitive to the descendants of Demons and Gods … Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows and stood by, not helping the fox to defend against the enemy.
Nine-tailed Celestial Fox also did not use her strongest move — her tails.
Her eight furry fox tails slapped like the tentacles of a jellyfish, pushing her to influence the tentacle. She clenched her fist and punched out a dense bubble.
Bang!
A dull sound rang out at the bottom of the sea, like a torpedo exploding.
In Xu Qi'an's vision, the front was instantly covered by dense bubbles, and the surging undercurrent swept in all directions like a shockwave, pushing his chest.
Nine-tailed Fox's body flew backward, dragging a vacuum belt at the bottom of the sea.
Seeing this, Xu Qi'an had a clearer estimation of the strength of the tentacle.
Although the Monarch's strength was not as strong as Warrior, as a descendant of Demons and Gods, her strength was definitely higher than the first-grade of other systems.
However, in the pure fist strength attack just now, she was obviously not a match for the tentacle.
The stronger it is, the greater the reward after I devour it. Maybe I can really step into the half-step Martial God Realm … Xu Qi'an transmitted his voice.
"Monarch, help me hold it back. I'll go down to find its true body."
Nine-tailed Fox hummed in acknowledgment, her tone was normal. Although she lost in the contest, she was not injured.
