The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 200 Sealing the Great Black Buddha Mother
A terrifying, malevolent aura emanated from Li Zhen's body.

The strange runes on his body seemed to come alive, wriggling continuously.

The three evil spirits opened their eyes simultaneously in Li Zhen's consciousness, and terrifying shadows appeared behind Li Zhen, gradually lengthening and enveloping the Great Black Buddha Mother in front of Li Zhen.

The Great Black Buddha Mother trembled.

A sharp, piercing cry came from its mouth.

A terrifying malice almost materialized and surged towards Li Zhen.

The rust on the Great Black Buddha Mother's body was like some kind of insect, crawling towards Li Zhen's body along with those evil thoughts, attaching to his skin, and causing his skin to once again emit a strong sense of decay.

Intense pain shot through his arm, making Li Zhen feel as if someone had poured strong acid on his hand.

Li Zhen, who was used to the pain, did not show much change in expression, but his face turned extremely ugly uncontrollably.

What Li Zhen used was not any special magic; he simply introduced the evil thoughts of the Great Black Buddha Mother into his own body, allowing the three evil demons to suppress the evil thoughts of the Great Black Buddha Mother, thereby achieving the goal of sealing the Great Black Buddha Mother with himself.

After previous methods failed, Li Zhen had no choice but to risk using this method to seal the Great Black Buddha Mother.

With three evil spirits protecting him, Li Zhen believed that even if this method failed, he should not be in any danger.

The injuries inflicted on his body by the Great Black Buddha Mother were insignificant, and Li Zhen was not particularly worried about his physical form.

However, the strength of the evil intentions of the Great Black Buddha Mother still exceeded Li Zhen's expectations.

Li Zhen paid the price with his entire right arm, but the Great Black Buddha Mother was still struggling.

“Your body cannot withstand the evil thoughts of the evil god,” the “Demon of Fate” suddenly said. “If this continues, your body will die first.”

Li Zhen closed his eyes, and slowly exerted force with his right hand, grasping the cloth covering the head of the Great Black Buddha Mother.

To Li Zhen's surprise, the face of the Great Black Buddha Mother was hollow, which caused his five fingers to sink in.

The shrill cries ceased, and the Great Black Buddha Mother suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

However, the evil thoughts surging into Li Zhen from the Great Black Buddha Mother only increased.

Li Zhen's consciousness became somewhat hazy again, and blood flowed from his nose.

The shadows of the three great evils have already enveloped parts of the Great Black Buddha Mother's body.

Just then, the cloth covering the face of the Great Black Buddha Mother suddenly shattered.

Li Zhen's hand was drawn into the face of the Great Black Buddha Mother by a suction force, as if he had put his hand into a pile of worms. The surging, icy touch traveled from his skin to Li Zhen's consciousness.

But Li Zhen was no longer conscious enough to react to this sensation.

In the instant the cloth disappeared, Li Zhen saw a hole in the face of the Black Buddha Mother that was indescribable.

After just one glance, his somewhat hazy consciousness drifted into a state of confusion.

When Li Zhen was awakened by the strange squeaking of the six-armed bat-faced demon, he immediately felt a sharp pain coming from his forehead.

His position also changed, now closer to the stone platform where the Great Black Buddha statue was placed, with his head tilted back as if about to fall down.

Without much thought, Li Zhen knew that he must have injured his forehead by bumping it himself.

With a chill in his heart, Li Zhen lowered his head, not daring to look at the Great Black Buddha Mother again.

The shadows of the three great evils have completely suppressed the statue of the Great Black Mother.

Li Zhen noticed that the corruption on his body had only spread to a small part of his shoulder and then stopped.

Using his right hand, which was deeply embedded in the face of the Great Black Buddha Mother, as a medium, the evil thoughts of the Great Black Buddha Mother, which had almost materialized, burrowed into Li Zhen's body like a swarm of living insects.

Li Zhen felt that his body was undergoing strange changes, but he didn't know where these changes were happening. He just had a gut feeling that these changes were not good.

The voice of the "Demon of Fate" rang out again: "Your body has been eroded by the remnants of an evil god, and irreversible changes have occurred. If this continues, your body will die, and you will become a wandering ghost."

Li Zhen remained indifferent.

The "Demon of Fate" sounded anxious: "The evil arts you practiced before only exposed you to parts of the demon's consciousness. This thing is different. This statue contains remnants of its original form, and your body can't handle it!"

"If you continue like this, you'll die! It's not too late to back down now."

Li Zhen said in a hoarse voice, "You will die too!"

The "Demon of Fate" laughed in exasperation: "You want to perish together with me? How are you going to clean up this mess? Before it was provoked, this thing didn't kill many people. Now that you can't deal with it, who knows how many more people will be killed by it."

Li Zhen didn't say anything.

The Demon of Fate softened its tone: "You have the will of three great demons within you. If you can stimulate them to exert their power, you can directly seal this evil god without having to use such a brutal method to provoke these demons to fight each other."

"Given the current trend, no matter how their confrontation ends, you will be the one who gets hurt in the end... You should know that the injury you are suffering now is permanent and cannot be recovered."

Li Zhen asked casually, "Do you have a way to seal this evil god?"

After a moment of silence, the "Demon of Fate" said, "What will I gain by helping you?"

"If I die, you die too."

"That's not enough."

"Why isn't that enough? I know you have even more terrifying methods yet to be used. In the future, we'll each rely on our own methods and accept our fate. Don't you have any confidence in yourself?"

"I don't want to be sealed anymore. If you can remove the nails from your body, I'll help you this once."

"That simple?"

"I don't want to die either."

Li Zhen stretched out his trembling left hand and pulled out the nails from his right arm and legs one after another.

No more blood was flowing from the wound on his right hand.

The skin of his entire right arm was completely covered with those eerie brown patches, emitting a foul, putrid odor.

After removing the coffin nails, Li Zhen felt his body tighten, clearly indicating that the "demon of fate" had begun to affect his body.

However, Li Zhen was unaware that the "Destiny Demon" was doing something detrimental to him.

If he senses something is wrong, Li Zhen will immediately break the seal and find another way to fight against the Great Black Buddha Mother.

As long as he stays in Chenjia Village and keeps an eye on the Great Black Buddha Mother, he will naturally prevent her from causing any trouble.

"Demon of Fate" said quickly, "Cut open its abdomen. If you have any of the things from that demonic image on the outside, wrap them in yellow paper, write the name of that evil god on it, and stuff it into the abdomen of this evil god."

Li Zhen did not hesitate.

His left hand grasped the magic sword stuck in the statue of the Great Black Buddha Mother, and pulled it down with all his might. The magic sword left a long and narrow wound on the statue's abdomen with great difficulty.

The body of the Great Black Buddha Mother looked like it was made of metal, but when Li Zhen cut open its abdomen, he saw bloody flesh.

Crimson blood flowed continuously from the abdomen of the Great Black Buddha Mother, along the Dharma Sword.

Releasing the sword, Li Zhen picked up a piece of yellow paper and a small jar from the ground.

Li Zhen cut his finger on the magic sword and used his blood to write the crooked words "Dama Su Lu" on the yellow paper. Finally, he poured the powder from the jar into the yellow paper, crumpled the paper into a ball, and stuffed it into the belly of the Great Black Buddha Mother.

As he pried open the wound on the Great Black Buddha Mother's abdomen with his palm, Li Zhen caught a fleeting glimpse of what appeared to be something inside her. Just as Li Zhen withdrew his arm, he heard a "bang."

His right arm loosened, and he fell out of the face of the Great Black Buddha Mother.

Li Zhen subconsciously looked up and saw cracks appearing on the neck of the Great Black Buddha Mother.

Blood gushed from the cracks, staining the statue of the Great Black Mother scarlet.

The head of the Great Black Buddha Mother must have also split open.

But Li Zhen still didn't look up at the head of the Great Black Buddha Mother.

Ignoring his limp right arm, Li Zhen picked up his own clothes and covered the statue of the Great Black Buddha Mother.

He slashed the magic sword with his left hand, and even more blood flowed out.

He used his own blood as ink to draw crooked and distorted talismans on his clothes.

Li Zhen, pale-faced, stopped drawing only after he had covered the entire garment.

The demonic shadow behind him had long since disappeared, and the evil aura on his body had been withdrawn into his body.

The Great Black Buddha Mother no longer displayed her evil nature.

The passageway returned to calm.

Apart from the bloodstains on the ground, nothing seemed to have happened.

The demon seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Your method is too brutal, too brutal to yourself. Those demons have no consciousness and will not exert their full strength unless you can completely arouse their evil intentions and make them fight with all their might."

Panting heavily, Li Zhen asked, "What's inside this evil god's belly?"

"The Fate Demon" said, "This is the remnant of the evil god."

"Did you know there was something inside its belly?"

"Feel."

Li Zhen didn't say anything.

The "Destiny Demon's" actions were actually quite simple: it threw a part of the demonic image representing Damasuru into the belly of the Great Black Buddha Mother, causing a direct confrontation between Damasuru and that thing. In the end, Damasuru prevailed, leading to the current outcome.

The "Destiny Demon" was right.

Provoked by the malice of the Great Black Buddha Mother, the will of those demons did respond, but not actively; they merely instinctively resisted the Great Black Buddha Mother.

It wasn't until Li Zhen threw that thing into the belly of the Great Black Buddha Mother that Damasul was able to completely suppress her.

This made Li Zhen realize that although he had visualized demons, his application of demonic evil was still limited to the most basic methods...

In any case, the Great Black Buddha Mother was finally sealed away once and for all...

Relieved, Li Zhen picked up the statue of the Great Black Buddha Mother with his left hand, grabbed the flashlight, put it in his mouth, and walked out of the passage.

The vampires and other creatures were somewhat wary of the statue in Li Zhen's hand, keeping a certain distance from him and following behind.

The red-eyed bat's injuries worsened, and it hung drowsily on the banshee's clothes.

Seeing this, Li Zhen guessed that this might be the result of the red-eyed bat trying to rush up to help him.

Go back and feed the red-eyed bats some more...

Of all the evil creatures, the red-eyed bat is undoubtedly the most obedient and the most loyal to Li Zhen.

"I find it strange that there are so many evil things around you? That bat, and the zombie..." The demon's puzzled voice rang in Li Zhen's mind.

After a moment, he asked again, "What exactly is this place? Why are there remnants of an evil god here?"

Li Zhen still did not answer.

Stepping out of the passage, looking at the altar he had set up, and feeling the cool breeze outside, Detective Li let out a long sigh.

Upon reaching the altar, he placed the Great Black Buddha Mother on it and examined his right hand under the flashlight.

The entire right hand has completely lost sensation.

Not only his right arm, but also part of his shoulder was covered with those brown patches.

A burning sensation emanated from the area where the plaque met the normal skin, as if someone were constantly roasting the skin with fire.

Li Zhen himself had no way to treat his right arm.

Go back to Master Aqing as soon as possible; perhaps Master Aqing can help him treat this right arm.

Even if it can't be cured, if it can alleviate his pain, that would be...

The fleshy demon statue on the altar suddenly began to writhe and faintly emitted a shriek.

At the same time, Li Zhen saw patches of dried mud-like substance appear on his arms, spreading towards his body.

Damasulu seemed somewhat angry.

This backlash is stronger than ever before.

Not only his arms and body, but Li Zhen also felt that the skin on his face had become much rougher.

"I offered you so much blood and food, and you did me such a small favor, yet you still want to turn against me?"

Li Zhen smiled, ignoring the backlash from the fleshy demon statue, and placed it in the pocket of the robe wrapped around the Great Black Buddha Mother. He then set up several more layers of seals around the Great Black Buddha Mother before feeling at ease.

After packing his things and putting them in the car, Li Zhen first dragged the unconscious Li Ruonan into the car, and finally put the sealed Great Black Buddha Mother into the trunk of the car before driving away.

The voice of the "Demon of Fate" suddenly rang out: "Your body is difficult to recover, but I have a way to help you and alleviate your injuries."

Li Zhen, who wasn't used to driving with his left hand, ignored it.

The "Demon of Fate" didn't say much and fell silent again.

The return journey was much slower than the journey there.

After resting several times, it wasn't until evening that Li Zhen finally drove his car to the front of Master Aqing's temple.

Xie Qiming, who had been waiting there for a long time, saw his car and was overjoyed. He immediately went to greet the car.

"Duoduo is much better. Master Qing said that you must have gotten rid of the evil spirits in Chenjia Village. When I saw you come back, I...you, are you alright?"

Seeing Li Zhen's miserable state as he got off the bus, Xie Qiming gasped in shock.

In Xie Qiming's eyes, Li Zhen was in a terrible predicament.

His entire body was covered in blood, and his right hand was hanging limply to the side. His skin had become very strange, clearly ruined. Even his face had developed dry skin, making him look more than ten years older at first glance...

Xie Qiming knew that Li Zhen's journey to Chenjia Village to deal with the evil spirits would not be easy, and he would definitely pay a price.

But he didn't expect the price to be so high.
