All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 374 Severing Thoughts
The gentle light transformed into purple stars, and the moment Ji Ran touched it, the beast's flesh and blood began to melt away.

An exquisite half-faced Bodhisattva statue appeared before Ji Ran's eyes.

The Six Reversals of Immortal Techniques is a reversal of a "state". The moment the immortal technique struck, the purple flesh on the beast's body vanished, instantly transforming into a Bodhisattva statue with half its face cut off.

Bang!
The statue crashed to Ji Ran's feet, and the level 5 mad beast vanished into thin air under the attack of the immortal magic. Only a wisp of purple starlight flowed through the air like water into the group of rice people.

"Help...help...me, brother..."

At that moment, the rice man's face also instantly withered.

The girl's face was deeply wrinkled; the reversed Three Corpses energy wasn't just affecting the statue, but also her. The rice figure was clearly a fusion of human and rice, formed under the influence of obsession. Now that the Three Corpses energy had reversed, the girl was obviously doomed.

A gene seed appeared in Ji Ran's hand.

Now that he possesses the Turbid Immortal Body and has entered the path of cause and effect, he can already see the essence of the gene seed—it is an activation and materialization of anger.

However, ordinary people simply cannot control anger. If anger were merely an emotion, it would subside after being expressed. But in this process, the genetic seed materializes anger, unleashing a person's potential. When disordered anger materializes, it often directly disintegrates a person's flesh and blood.

Now, he can use the pure anger of the Turbid Immortal Body to suppress this distortion. In other words, he can create a controllable Devourer.

Or rather... a beast of wrath.

"Stay away from my daughter!"

suddenly!

A chilling killing intent erupted from the rice paddies!

boom!
A clay Buddha statue smashed through the temple gate and rushed into the main hall, covered in wood chips! As it charged, the Buddha's flesh grew wildly, and its purplish-black muscles instantly burst through the stone shell, transforming in an instant into a four-meter-tall, purple-faced, angry Buddha!

The Buddha statue swung its enormous fist and smashed straight at Ji Ran!
bass!
The broadsword rose up suddenly, its blade slicing upwards and instantly tearing apart the foolish Buddha's arm!

click-

Ji Ran's figure moved with a roar, transforming into his true form, which was ten feet tall! The horizontal sword that had seemed huge before was now just right. Ji Ran swung it with a cold light, severing the purple flesh and stone bones in one stroke!

Amidst the splashed blood, rows of rice stalks roared as they charged forward! Their forms were distorted, growing into deformed bodies covered in purple flesh and blood, and the weapons and farm tools they held were also covered in hideous purple keratin!

Outside the window, the four rice figures that the old man had transformed into at different ages were all present. The infant head was still bewildered, but the young and middle-aged rice figures were already glaring angrily at Ji Ran and were about to rush into the main hall!
"No! No!!"

The old rice man tried desperately to pull the two apart, but the middle-aged rice man broke free and could only hold onto the rice stalk that looked like a young boy, preventing him from rushing into the middle of the rice.

The densely packed rice paddy figures surged with power that had reached a certain level, resembling a group of bizarre heads carrying blades as they charged forward!
Bear!
Ji Ran's wrist was covered in fire-resistant cloth, which flashed with brilliant golden flames. He raised the blade horizontally, twisted his waist to the side, and a blazing flame first flashed with the tip of the blade, and then burst forth!

"Wildfire!"

hum!
The surging fire blades suddenly slashed out!
The blade trembled and a surging, blazing blade of flame shot out! The golden light disintegrated like the blazing sun, instantly evaporating into a rain of mist! It tore a scorch mark more than ten feet long in the ground! Wherever the fire reached, the rice paddy man didn't even have time to roar before it exploded into ashes in an instant!
"Chirp!"

The golden crow let out a joyful cry, leaping up its fiery blades and annihilating all the demons and evil spirits!

Flames filled the sky, setting the entire Mahavira Hall ablaze.

Bang!
At that moment, another mad Buddha rushed towards Ji Ran's side!
Over there!

This time, Ji Ran saw the right hand of the mad Buddha supporting the hunched-over Liu Dajiao!

boom!
Ji Ran's figure flashed in an instant, the tip of his blade tearing through the flesh and clay of the mad Buddha, aimed directly at the old man! Shattered stones flew out, all being pulverized in the flash of the blade!

Liu Dajiao lowered her eyes, turned her head to reveal a hint of purple, and said, "Did anyone tell you that I carved this mountain temple inch by inch with my team?"

hum-

In the collapsed hall, every piece of broken stone is carved with not Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but the heretical teachings of the Mahayana Maitreya sect.

In an instant!
Countless demons and monsters, imbued with the power of their obsessions, first rose up in the carvings, then transformed into real ghosts and monsters!
Zheng!
Ji Ran remained calm, his strength surging, and he unleashed the Eight Slashes of the Battlefield, tearing apart a chaotic dance of demons!
Bang!
With a flash, he dodged the group of ghosts in the relief sculpture, and with a horizontal slash, he thrust his great sword straight at the old man's head!

boom!
Boom! !
At this moment, the remaining foolish Buddhas outside the hall rushed over, but instead of attacking, they used their thick clay sculptures of flesh and blood to block Ji Ran's assassination attempt! The great horizontal sword was sharp and unstoppable, but it stopped after piercing through several foolish Buddhas.

Bang!
But as the initial fascination with the Buddha shattered, Liu Dajiao still fell to the ground and rolled several times. He staggered to his feet and headed straight for the withered head.

“Nizi…”

He held the girl in his arms, his voice calm and gentle: "You are the last memory of loving your father, I will not let you die."

Pfft!
Liu Dajiao, carrying the rice dummy that was almost completely reduced to skin, jumped directly into the blood pool!
Behind him, golden flames swept out, and the densely packed bas-relief demons were burned to ashes by the golden crow after only two breaths of Ji Ran's life.

A cold wind howled, and the entire Mahavira Hall was reduced to ruins. The gloomy sunlight fell on the charred bluestone, reflecting the purple blood-red light.

boom.

The golden crow flapped its wings and landed on the black tree behind Ji Ran, a wisp of golden light slowly dissipating from its body.

“Foolish…”

Ji Ran looked at the ripples spreading across the blood pool and thought of what the girl had said earlier. This old man was very capable, with expertise in almost every industry. Even this main hall and the Buddha statues were carved by him.

And now, I can see one of the abilities that [Ignorance] has shown—controlling its own creations.

wow-

In the pool, Liu Dajiao's figure emerged, with a girl's face on his chest, looking at him.

"Young man, you are very capable."

"I can't fight, and neither can my fellow villagers. Sigh, all we've ever done in our lives is grow rice; how would we know how to wield a knife?"

slam-la-

As Liu Dajiao spoke, she reached out and pulled a face out of the blood pool.

Purple blood gushed out, and the huge, pale face covered his entire body—it was the head of a human-faced Buddha.

"But today, I really need what you have."

"I'm sorry, young man."

Liu Dajiao stroked the severed head that Ji Ran had cut off. The purple flesh writhed, making the head seem to crawl up his back like a snail.

Then, Liu Dajiao's torso, like a melting wax figure, made a teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound, and collapsed section by section, being swallowed by the head!

At the same time, the purple blood in the pool poured back in frantically, and the tendons, bones, and muscles were rapidly reshaped as they writhed.

In just a few breaths, a purplish-red, obese monk suddenly rose in the center of the empty blood pool. His disproportionately large head slowly turned towards Ji Ran, and on the back of his head, the faces of a little girl and an old man were pressed tightly together, silently watching Ji Ran.

The big-headed monk opened his eyes, his purplish-red pupils reflecting the dark character for "foolishness." Terrifying power and spiritual energy enveloped the mountain peak like a tidal wave! All the foolish thoughts converged together.

At that moment, a resonance caused Ji Ran to open his brow and meet the gaze of the big-headed monk. His turbid immortal body emitted a strong longing.

At that moment, Chenmu saw the aura of delusion emanating from the old man.

If the true source of his control over anger lies in his chivalrous spirit—anger without madness—then the source of Liu Dajiao's control over her obsession lies in her innate talent, unaffected by status, position, wealth, or personality.
This kind of talent is what the "obsessed" admire. If Liu Dajiao had been born into a scholarly family, she would surely have been a top scholar and literary giant; if she had been born into a noble family, she would have been famous throughout the world; if she had been born in this era, she would have been an artist who appears only once in a century.

Unfortunately, he was born in a village in the Southern Han Dynasty.

bass!
Ji Ran sheathed his broadsword and drew a black and red short sword from the shrine. The Heavenly Demon Sword Embryo, in the hands of the Immortal Body, had no effect on his spirit.

This time, I will sever my own desires, but not harm others.
