Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Xi felt upset. He had even fought against the Singer of Death, a Lich who was close to demigod. When did he become so powerless that he had to rely on a woman to protect him?
Since he entered He County, he had encountered one boss after another.
The Centipede Monster, the Tree Monster, and the Black Mountain Monster were all giant monsters at the thousand-year-old level.
If that was all, it would be fine. However, after killing the Tree Monster, there was no time to recover and recuperate.
"What can I do …"
Lin Xi almost bit his lips.
Killing the Tree Monster gave him 130,000 bio-energy points, but in the current situation, even if he spent all the points, what was the use? He was not short of weapons, and this number could not be exchanged for mercenaries who could resist the Black Mountain Monster.
There was a Cob Cannon in the inventory, but in the face of such a powerful spell like the Tombstone River, it was meaningless to take out that item.
In the current situation, it was barely possible to fight the Black Mountain Monster to the death if he recovered his bio-energy. However, in the evolution base, there was no item for energy recovery. The Senzu Bean, which cost 100,000 points, was not the authentic one in the world of "Dragon Ball" and could only heal injuries.
"Earth Spirit Bead …"
Lin Xi took out the khaki bead, raised it, and examined it with his consciousness, but soon he was disappointed. The god's will inside was still sleeping. Even if the Earth Qi in the bead was almost infinite, he could not use it.
On the other side, Master Ding Hui stopped the Thousand Buddha Hands, and Yan Chixia was still desperately shooting fireballs with his blood.
Jiang Xinyu died, and Yan Chixia's current identity was that of an ownerless mercenary. A mercenary would not disappear with the death of his master, but he must choose a new evolved person within a certain period of time.
The sun, moon, and stars barrier that Ninth Uncle borrowed the power of the Three Reeds Ancestor to lay down had already blocked more than ten hits from the tombstones for the three of them. The light that flickered on it was much dimmer than before. Clearly, it couldn't hold on for much longer.
However, the brothers Jian Dan and Jian Zhi who were possessed by the female ghost were still very fierce.
"Young benefactor."
Wrapped in a moonlight shield, Ding Hui walked to Lin Xi's side and said, "Are you checking the Earth Spirit Pearl? I can sense that there's a mighty will within the Earth Spirit Orb, but I can't move it … How did you do that yellow giant back then? "
Lin Xi didn't know why Ding Hui was asking about this. He might as well use his Thousand Buddha Hands to break more tombstones to reduce the pressure on others. However, he still gave a brief explanation.
"As expected, it's just as I guessed …"
On Master Ding Hui's wrinkled face, a heartfelt smile blossomed. "I don't have much magic power left. Even if I activate the Sanmo formation, I can only resist for a while. I won't be able to save the others … But, perhaps there is a way to let you all live."
"What?" Lin Xi was stunned. Could it be that the old monk had a trump card?
"Sarira," Master Ding Hui said.
"Sarira?"
Lin Xi knew that Sarira was a kind of crystal formed after the death of a Buddhist monk. It was obtained through precepts, meditation, wisdom, cultivation, and the power of great wishes. It was very precious and rare. It was said that it had magical effects, and it existed in the real world.
In some fantasy novels and movies, Sarira was even more powerful. In the "Investiture of the Gods", the leader of the Western Sect used a Sarira to resist the chaotic sword light of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
For Master Dinghui to be able to develop the Samadhi Formation, to bring others into a meditative state through mutual affinity, Lin Xi didn't doubt in the slightest that this old monk was a true eminent buddhist monk.
But … what was the use of Sarira?
Could it deal with the Black Mountain Demon?
"Sarira can be seen as something similar to the Earth Spirit Pearl … The Earth Spirit Pearl contains the will of the gods, and the Sarira can attract the spiritual mind of the Buddha. The Earth Spirit Pearl contains the Earth Qi, and the Sarira can attract the blessing of the Buddha."
"Wait, I'm not a Buddhist. I don't think I can sense the Buddha and receive the blessing of the Buddha … Also, Master, do you have a Sarira?"
"Don't worry." There was a gentle smile on Master Ding Hui's face. "If you sincerely feel it, you can definitely sense the Buddha. You can do it, because I see your light, the warm, orange light."
"All living beings have Buddha nature, and Buddha nature is light."
"And the Sarira."
He pointed at himself. "I have it in my body."
The old monk put his palms together and sat down cross-legged. He closed his eyes and chanted the name of Buddha in a low voice. A flame was ignited on his body. This was the fire of nirvana, which was ignited by wisdom and flesh. "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell …"
"Excellent, excellent, the Supreme Perfection, the Righteous Enlightenment …"
In the burning flame, the voice of Master Ding Hui's chanting became smaller and smaller, and gradually became inaudible. Soon, the monk's robe and flesh were all burned to ashes. A thumb-sized, dim, white and yellowish bead was in the ashes.
"The Sarira …"
When he saw Great Master Ding Hui sacrifice himself to leave behind a sarira, Lin Xi didn't know what he was feeling inside. There was bitterness, but also sorrow — he owed the old monk a debt of gratitude. Back then, if he didn't have Great Master Ding Hui's Samadhi Formation to enlighten his heart, he wouldn't have been able to merge the spirit energy.
Now, he owed him even more.
"Master, I hope your sacrifice is not in vain."
Lin Xi held the śarīra in his hands. Even though it wasn't all that remarkable, it still carried a wave of warm and peaceful aura. Just like when he held the Mountain God Bead in the past, his consciousness immersed into the śarīra. First, he 'saw' a wave of light.
All living beings have Buddha nature, and Buddha nature is light.
This light contained many things, such as faith, courage, wisdom, tranquility, solemnity … as well as all living beings, immeasurable and nirvana …
The light converged into a word in his spiritual sense. It was not "Buddha", but "Enlightenment".
The Enlightenment, consciousness. The Enlightenment, the other, the Enlightenment, and the Sentient — all living beings in the world. Faintly sensing this, Lin Xi did not know why, but tears instantly flowed down his face.
What is this?
This is …
Touching.
The Sarira in his hand quietly shattered at this moment, turning into countless particles and dissipating in the wind.
The Sarira disappeared.
But from where it disappeared, a light was born. The Enlightenment, also known as "Buddha", belonged to the Enlightenment's will and the light produced by the Buddha's power. It was unknown where it came from, but it poured into Lin Xi's body. The golden light carried the young man up into the sky, all the way until the sky was covered by demon clouds.
"Namo Prajna Paramita, Namo Prajna Paramita, Namo Prajna Paramita …"
Lin Xi closed his eyes, sat cross-legged in the void, put his palms together, and chanted the Vajra Dharma Incantation to subdue demons. As he chanted the incantation, the golden light on his body became stronger, and gradually, even his skin was dyed with a layer of golden luster.
The depleted energy was replenished by the Buddha's power. With Qi as the guide, it formed the energy of light attribute: Buddha's Light. The pure golden Buddha's Light rose on the surface of Lin Xi's body, forming the materialization of energy. The flame-like golden airflow interweaved into the shadow of a giant.
It was like the Mountain God Giant formed by the Earth Qi … or like the Susanoo formed by Chakra in the anime.
The giant had a bun on his head, round shoulders, and a bright body. He sat cross-legged in the void, with 32 solemn appearances. He was the Enlightenment with great wisdom, great peace, and great courage, which was —
Buddha!
Lin Xi was in the translucent belly of the golden energy Buddha, still chanting scriptures with his eyes closed. The Buddha sitting in the void was the same as him. When he opened and closed his mouth, a grand voice came out, which seemed to resonate with the space. The Sanskrit chanting of scriptures filled the void.
"Namo Prajñā Paramita, Namo Prajñā Paramita, Namo Prajñā Paramita …"
It seemed that countless monks were chanting scriptures together. Endless golden light shone from the Buddha's body, polluting the illusion of the Old Demon of the Black Mountain. The Nether World, which was opened up by the Old Demon of the Black Mountain, was illuminated. The golden solemnity made people feel as if they had arrived at the Western Paradise.
The demon clouds and tombstones that covered the sky were dyed into gorgeous pure gold in the light.
The chanting of Buddha mixed with the shining of the infinite Buddha's Light made the sky tumble, like a sea of demon clouds galloping with thousands of horses. Like snow, it quickly dissipated in the sunlight. In the light, the tombstones exploded one after another, together with the surrounding phosphorescence. The broken stones also melted in the light.
Everyone, including Yan Chixia, the Ninth Uncle, Tifa, and the evolutionaries, was stunned to see all this. Inside the golden Buddha, Lin Xi, who was chanting the Vajra Incantation with his eyes closed, looked so solemn.
"Ah …"
In the screams, Invincible Dongfang and Nie Xiaoqian flew out from Jian Dan and Jian Zhi's bodies. They were originally possessed by ghosts, but under the Buddha's Light, they were directly beaten back to their original state. Seeing that the two female ghosts were about to be expiated, the Ninth Uncle hurriedly used the Ghost-sealing Altar to take them inside.
The golden light bathed the head of the Old Demon of the Black Mountain, and the Buddha's Light instantly burned the eyes of this thousand-year-old monster. The chanting of Buddha resounded in the Nether World, breaking the ears of the Old Demon of the Black Mountain. From its eye sockets and ears, black original demon blood gushed out.
"Boom! Boom! Boom … "
The Nether World, which was separated from reality, exploded in a chain, shaking the space as if the whole world was about to collapse. The Old Demon of the Black Mountain roared, "Run!" and shrank to the ground again. But the Buddha's Light had locked its head, and the soil could not block the penetration of the golden light and the chanting of Buddha.
Amidst the endless pain, the old monster used its head to break open a part of the ground, then drilled its way out again. It used its blinded eyes to look at the sky, unwilling to give up. Every piece of rock-like skin and flesh on its head was cracking and shattering.
"Namo Prajna Paramita, Namo Prajna Paramita, Namo Prajna Paramita …"
Qi guided the spiritual mind and the Buddha's power to form the Buddha. The power of the Buddha finally reached its peak. The translucent phantom of the Buddha completely turned into a golden body. Lin Xi's figure inside disappeared, and only a vague golden human figure could be seen.
Boundless light flooded the sky and the earth, filling every inch of space.
"If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?"
At this moment, beside the golden Buddha, there seemed to be a thin old monk with a faint smile. The Buddha's Light illuminated the Nether World. The Old Demon of the Black Mountain finally exploded into rolling gravel, and the tomb disappeared in the light. The scenery of the Nether World changed like the ebb tide, returning to the original He County.
Everything …
It was finally over.
