A surge of spiritual energy filled with murderous intent almost dyed the sky blood red. It had an aura that Li Qingshan was very familiar with, reminding him of an old enemy — Strong Stone.
This stone was indeed the Stone of Slaughter from the Asura Path!
"Hm?" Luo Hou Xiaoming's expression changed.
"What's wrong?"
"Let's go and see."
Li Qingshan was curious and let Abbot Fu Ku lead the way. The group passed through the Hall of Great Strength and arrived at the backyard of the Pudu Temple. There was a small lake hidden in the dense bamboo forest, sparkling under the light of the setting sun. There was a stone tablet beside the lake with the words "Bitter Lake" engraved on it.
Li Qingshan felt that the spiritual energy here was very rich, as if he had returned to the Nine Provinces. He understood that the killing intent of the Stone of Slaughter had been suppressed by an array formation, allowing only the spiritual energy within to be released, transforming this small lake into a land of spiritual energy.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Demon Star is at the bottom of the lake."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a splash. Li Qingshan jumped into the lake and swam toward the bottom with his arms open. The lake was more than ten feet deep, and there was a deathly stillness in the water. There was almost no trace of fish or shrimp.
As the murderous intent grew stronger, Li Qingshan knew that he was close to his target. In the darkness, a dot of red light gradually grew larger. A giant cone-shaped stone was quietly inserted into the bottom of the lake, glowing with a dark red light.
"Found it!"
Li Qingshan's eyes lit up. He kicked back and shot straight toward the giant stone.
At this time, there was a roar in front of him, and a surging undercurrent attacked him.
Hu Xian 'er and the others looked into the distance with concern. Suddenly, the lake water seemed to be boiling, and the faint roar of beasts could be heard.
"Your Highness!" Hu Xian 'er looked back angrily at Fu Ku. "Bald donkey, is this another trap of yours?"
Fu Ku's face was also filled with fear. "I really don't know!"
With a bang, the water surface exploded, and a giant black shadow shot into the sky, landing heavily on the edge of the lake, crushing a bamboo forest.
Zhang Xuanfeng arrived on the wind, but found that it was a giant turtle with a cracked shell, on the verge of death.
"There's actually such a monster in the lake!" Fu Ku exclaimed.
The Bitter Lake was originally the Release Pond in the temple. As it sank into the Stone of Slaughter, the fishes and shrimps in it began to kill and devour each other. Even though the monks were merciful. This was for the peace of the world and the development of Pudu Temple. He had no choice but to sacrifice them.
However, he did not expect that there would be a "survivor" who had been hiding at the bottom of the lake and had cultivated into a monster by absorbing the spiritual energy in the Stone of Slaughter. It became the guardian beast of the Stone of Slaughter.
The lake calmed down. The surging murderous aura became more and more intense. A dark red reef rose from the surface of the lake and quickly grew larger as it approached the lakeside.
"That … that is the Stone of Slaughter!" Monk Fu Ku said.
Even after all these years of suppression and dilution. It still caused everyone's blood to boil, and a faint desire to kill rose within them. Fortunately, they were all innate masters, so they had a certain level of resistance. Only Hu Ling'er moaned, "Sister, I feel terrible!"
"Ling 'er, go further away. Don't come close!"
Hualala! Water flowed down from the giant rock. Li Qingshan carried the Stone of Slaughter on his body and walked up step by step from the bottom of the lake.
"Your Highness!"
Li Qingshan came to the shore and slowly put down the Stone of Slaughter on his body. It still made a muffled sound, showing its weight.
"It is indeed a good Spirit Stone. It's a pity that too much spiritual energy has dissipated."
This Stone of Slaughter was so strong that even steel that had been tempered a hundred times couldn't compare. It seemed to have been tempered in some way, but it didn't seem like a magic treasure.
Besides, there were countless Shura Divine Weapons in the Asura Realm. Who would use a big stone as a weapon?
He shook his head and didn't think about it. With this Stone of Slaughter, his Ape Demon Transformation would definitely improve. However, he hadn't had time to digest the spiritual energy he had just swallowed, so he wasn't in a hurry.
"It's mine." A young and tender voice spoke up, causing everyone to be startled. Luo Hou and Little Ming walked up and patted the huge Stone of Slaughter.
"What did you say?"
"I said it's mine." Luo Hou Xiaoming showed a look of nostalgia.
"You want to take advantage of me? I obviously carried it out from the bottom of the lake."
"If you don't believe me, turn the stone over and see."
Li Qingshan pushed the Stone of Slaughter to the side doubtfully. Sure enough, he found a dark sun and moon totem underneath. It was the totem of the Rahu Clan. He suddenly remembered that Luo Hou Xiaoming had shot a stone from a slingshot and instantly killed Doumo Hun.
If that was the case, everything could be explained. A normal stone naturally wouldn't come from the Asura Realm by itself. It also wouldn't have such a strong killing intent. It also wouldn't have been able to turn into a monster like Strong Stone with a powerful force.
After pondering for a moment, he waved his hand to dismiss everyone. Only the two of them were left by the lake. Li Qingshan asked, "What exactly is going on?"
"What do you mean what is going on? I was just shooting it for fun." Luo Hou Xiaoming carelessly touched the slingshot on his waist named "Xiao Ya" and said, "The Six Paths of Reincarnation are connected to the other worlds. It's easy to hit it."
Li Qingshan was speechless. Even without the barrier of the void, this was a cross-realm attack. Just how fierce was this Asura Divine Child in the past?
The legend of "The Demon Star descends and the world plunges into chaos" was just a child's game of shooting sparrows! And that Monster General Strong Stone who massacred dozens of cities and killed countless people.
"That Stone of Slaughter in the Nine Provinces, was it also you who shot it?"
"Other than me, who else would be so bored?" Luo Hou Xiaoming tilted his head and squinted his eyes as if he was sleepy again.
"So you also know that you are bored!" Li Qingshan's heart skipped a beat. "Wait, I've only stayed in two worlds and you shot the stone both times. This can't be a coincidence, right?"
The Three Thousand Worlds was the collective name of the Great Thousand Worlds, the Medium Thousand Worlds, and the Small Thousand Worlds. As for the specific number, perhaps only the Gods and Buddhas in the Nine Heavens knew. Unexpectedly, two worlds had Stone of Slaughter.
Either it was really a coincidence that he encountered an extremely small probability event, or he had shot a large number of Stone of Slaughter. Obviously, the latter was much more likely.
And without using the Spirit Tortoise to deduce, one could guess how large the number was. Even if half of the Three Thousand Worlds had Stone of Slaughter, the probability of encountering it twice in a row was only one in four.
Suddenly, he felt that Luo Hou Xiaoming's words were not entirely true. No matter how bored a child was, he would only shoot sparrows and not every leaf on the tree. Moreover, such a workload was almost equivalent to shooting every leaf in the forest. Even for the Gods, it was not an easy task. The amount of time and energy spent was inestimable. Was it just for fun?
Luo Hou Xiaoming spread his hands. "Now you know how bored I am!"
"But, why is it so big?"
"Falling into this kind of small world, it will naturally appear big …"
