This actor is full of tricks.

The evil Buddha was covered in blood, slumped on the ground, his lifeless eyes filled with disbelief.

This Crimson Sky King is too strong, even stronger than the Wheel King who appeared the first time. Back then, he was overwhelmed by the Wheel King and almost killed. Now, he has no power to fight back against the Crimson Sky King. He is so powerful that even this extremely evil ferocious man is in despair. He thought that as the pinnacle of the bizarre, he had become invincible, but he has suffered setbacks in the mortal world.

"what?"

King Chixiao stood high in the sky, his wildly flowing hair slowly calming down. He asked in a puzzled voice, "Wasn't this temple supposed to be protected by some skull, making it indestructible? How could it have shattered so easily?"

"Evil Buddha, has your tortoise shell disappeared?"

“Skull! Yes! Skull!” The evil Buddha suddenly looked at the altar behind him where the skull was kept, but it was empty and there was no trace of the skull.

"Didn't I devour the skull? Have you forgotten?" Lin Jue, who had been hiding to the side, stepped forward and looked at the Evil Buddha with complicated eyes: "Didn't you say that the skull controlled you and that's why you became like this? But why are you still like this even though the skull has disappeared?"

"Didn't you just say you were an enlightened monk who had performed meritorious deeds and was only committing sins because you were controlled by the skull?"

"I see that this is your true nature; the skull is just a manifestation of your true nature."

At this point, a hint of pity flashed in Lin Jue's eyes: "That's possible. You tried your best to control your desires in life, but you broke your composure after death. The goodwill you gained from Buddha before has probably turned into a negative one."

He wasn't being bold; he was deliberately putting on an act. He could tell that the Evil Buddha must have been a good person in life, but he had become an extremely wicked villain for too long, and his negative emotions had accumulated too deeply, completely affecting the other party. He was saying this to destroy the other party's heart. In fantasy novels, this would be equivalent to causing someone's Dao heart to collapse, rendering them powerless to fight.

"You devoured the skull?" The evil Buddha was stunned, his lifeless eyes trembling violently in their sockets. "Then why am I still like this?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Lin Jue pointed to the mostly destroyed Wushi Temple: "With the skull here, would this temple still be destroyed? You used to rely on the skull to hide in the temple when you couldn't win, but what about now?"

"The skull is really gone..."

"Then why am I still like this?"

Lin Jue's words indeed had an effect. The evil Buddha's mentality showed signs of collapse. His pupils trembled wildly, and the resentment on his body was like black tentacles, wildly waving around and smashing tables, chairs and benches.

Lin Jue took a few steps back to avoid being accidentally injured by this guy.

A strong hand pressed against him from behind, and the Crimson Sky King's voice rang out from behind: "Why are you here?"

"Your Majesty, I was captured. I don't even know why I was captured." Lin Jue pretended to be stupid. He wasn't sure if the Crimson Sky King had overheard his conversation with the Evil Buddha. Knowing the king's personality, he would probably interrogate him for a long time.

"You're the one who got arrested?" King Chixiao snorted. Although he couldn't deny Lin Jue's contributions to the Inspection Division, he really didn't have a good impression of this kid.

The other party has deep ties to the supernatural and is also connected to that mental hospital.

The evil Buddha on the other side seemed to have completely gone mad, crying and laughing at the same time.

"I've always been like this!?"

"No! That's not how I am! I have been a devout Buddhist for decades, practicing asceticism and achieving perfect merit! How could this be?"

"But why, even with the skull gone, can't I control the violence within me?" "Why!"

"Why!?"

"I killed everyone in the temple, hahaha! Is this my true thought?"

"No, no! It's the skull that's controlling me! I've already achieved my goal!"

The evil Buddha went mad, his eyes were completely stained black by the black energy, and thick black blood, as sticky as ink, dripped from his seven orifices. At this moment, his resentment got out of control.

Everything around collapsed and shattered under the out-of-control resentment. The Crimson Sky King grabbed Lin Jue by the shoulder and carried him into the sky.

Rumble!
The Temple of Nothingness exploded at that moment. The Evil Buddha stood amidst the ruins, his body melting away bit by bit like a burning candle. His resentment disintegrated into strands and gradually dissipated.

The evil Buddha's mentality had completely collapsed. Even without the Crimson Sky King's intervention, he was already disappearing and dying. However, his expression changed from ferocious to gentle. He seemed to have regained his rationality from his previous life and calmly accepted his death.

"What did you just do? Why did he turn out like this?" King Chixiao asked, looking puzzled.

"I had a heart-to-heart talk with him." Lin Jue watched the evil Buddha disappear. This extremely vicious creature still had some conscience and chose to commit suicide to preserve his life and maintain the dignity of a high-ranking monk.

Did a heart-to-heart talk really cause an extremely vicious criminal to break down and commit suicide?
"Wait a minute." Lin Jue suddenly spoke up to stop the evil Buddha's suicide: "Since you want to commit suicide, why not give me your heart? It would be the last good deed you do for this world."

Liezang is currently in the recovery phase. If he can devour the heart of the evil Buddha, he might be able to recover to his peak condition in one fell swoop, without having to search for other body parts.

Upon hearing this, not only was the Crimson Sky King stunned, but even the Evil Buddha's expression stiffened slightly.

No, you two sentences have completely messed up my mentality, and now you want to take my heart while eating and taking things away?

But in the end, the evil Buddha smiled slightly, a smile of relief and liberation. He reached into his chest and dug out a heart stained with black blood that was still beating vigorously: "Why not give it to you?"

After saying that, he threw it forcefully, and his heart drew a perfect parabola in the air before landing precisely in Lin Jue's hands.

Even after leaving the body, the extremely vicious heart continued to beat strongly.

Lin Jue was a little stunned. He didn't expect the Evil Buddha to be so agreeable. Could this guy have tampered with the heart? Did he know that he couldn't defeat the Crimson Sky King and wanted to use the heart to be reborn or something?

Without its heart, the evil Buddha dissolved even faster, and it cried out to the heavens in a mournful voice: "I'm sorry!"

Feeling relieved, guilty, and a little resentful, Lin Jue didn't know who he had wronged. Perhaps it was the Buddha he worshipped day and night in his life, perhaps it was the abbot he killed, or perhaps it was all the living beings who died because of him.

In the end, the evil Buddha completely disappeared from the world, leaving only the heart in Lin Jue's hand as proof that this extremely evil monster had once existed.

The evil Buddha made a dramatic and ignominious exit from the stage.

Perhaps the Evil Buddha was indeed a highly accomplished and virtuous monk in his lifetime, but after his death, he committed countless sins. His suicide can be seen as him preserving the last shred of dignity he had as a monk. (End of Chapter)
