Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 387 Despair, the Buddhist Realm in the Palm of Your Hand!
Wu Xia was taken aback.

The primordial spirit detached from the body, guarding against the flesh-and-blood Buddha body in the sky.

But the next instant, he felt a sharp pain in his body. He saw that the Wuxiang Daoist, who had been standing guard against him, had somehow revealed the features of the Blood Buddha on his face. The other man held a whisk and pierced through his body.

The whisk unleashed a suction force, causing the physical body to deflate completely. A feeling of weakness washed over Wu Xia, and he knew that his physical body was finished!
At the same time, the six streams of light rushing towards the "Central Palace" Holy Embryo exploded with a bang.

The Daoist Wuxiang shattered his own boundary energy, disrupting everyone's combined power.

Wu Xia's eyes widened in fury as he shouted and cursed:

"Beasts!"

The sudden betrayal by the Taoist Wuxiang not only shattered everyone's well-prepared attack, but also brought his path of cultivation to an end.

Although he had entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his primordial spirit had not yet fused with his physical body to complete the final transformation. Now that his physical body had decayed, he had no chance to advance any further.

How could he be willing to do this?
His primordial spirit took a step forward and rushed directly toward the Formless Daoist.

Seeing this, Wuxiang Daoren calmly put away the blood-stained whisk and swallowed it whole. Faced with Wu Xia's desperate attack, Wuxiang Daoren's body was torn apart.

With its five features carrying a powerful primordial spirit and the essence of flesh and blood, it flipped over and leaped, merging with the blood shadow that flew out of the sacred embryo. Then it floated towards the nine-headed Buddha body in the sky and calmly landed on one of the Buddha faces on the left.

Now, the three Buddha faces looked down at the crowd, and the awe-inspiring pressure became even stronger!
Zi Zhen and Lu Xingzhi were also filled with despair. In the blink of an eye, three were dead and one was injured. They still did not know how the Hungry Ghost Mountain Lord and the Wuxiang Daoist were eaten by the Blood Buddha.

Only Qu Jiang, who had known Wuxiang Daoren for many years, had a vague feeling that Wuxiang Daoren was not subjected to the Blood Buddha's methods after entering the Blood and Flesh Sacred Domain.

More than a decade ago, Wuxiang Daoren's physical body suffered a severe injury, and Qujiang sought medical treatment at the time from Luo Xuan, the head of the Western Sea lineage in the Fubo Domain.

The other party introduced him to the Blood Buddha, who then restored the physical body of the Formless Daoist.

Not long after that, a Buddhist hall appeared in the residence of the Taoist Wuxiang.

According to the Taoist Wuxiang, this was to express gratitude to the Blood Buddha, since the latter had continued his path of cultivation.

Looking back now, it seems that from that time onwards, Wuxiang Daoren must have been subjected to the Blood Buddha's methods.

Looking around this sacred domain, the Blood Buddha could command the flesh and blood essence within it with ease, unlike himself and others whose human power was rejected and could not be replenished.

Clearly, this sacred domain was cultivated by the Blood Buddha!

The other party hid the Holy Domain at the bottom of the Domain River, and every February it devoured flesh and blood essence to create the illusion of the Holy Domain's revival. The purpose was to use this Holy Domain as bait to lure the Nascent Soul cultivators into taking the bait!

Judging from the appearance of the Holy Embryo at this moment, the true gestation of the Holy Spirit requires nine incarnations.

No wonder the sacred domain opened up instantly after the nine Nascent Soul cultivators were gathered, emanating the aura of holy spirits.

I thought it was a coincidence, but I never imagined it was all a scheme by the Blood Buddha!
Having figured this out, Qu Jiang felt even more desperate. Faced with the Blood Buddha, who had gained an even stronger side, he knew that he, along with Wu Xia, Zi Zhen, Lu Xingzhi, Ba Rong, and himself, were simply no match for him!

Seeing that Wu Xia's primordial spirit was about to lose its mind and rush towards the Buddha's body, Zi Zhen took a step forward and pulled it to her side. Now there were only five people left. If Wu Xia died, they would have no chance at all!

Seeing this, Blood Buddha did not stop them. He scrutinized everyone, his emotions growing more serious, and transmitted his voice:
"Enter the body of Buddha, and everyone becomes Buddha; do not remain stubborn and unenlightened!"

The group was stunned. Wu Xia, who had been thinking about fighting the Blood Buddha to the death, also regained some composure and stood there considering their escape route. After giving the five a warning, the Blood Buddha focused more on the Seven Palaces (West) position.

The hungry ghost vanished!
Even he didn't know how it disappeared!
He didn't detect any evil spirits or flesh and blood, and they simply vanished right under his nose. He couldn't even find their presence when he examined the world.

Where did that hungry ghost hide?

Has the other party been hiding their true strength all along?
Blood Buddha was somewhat skeptical. He had seen this hungry ghost before, but since it was a strange creature that had attained enlightenment, he had previously looked down on it.

But this time, the encounter was different. When he saw the hungry ghost outside the Domain River, he felt a strange feeling, but after observing it for a long time, he couldn't find anything wrong, so he didn't pay it any mind.

Unexpectedly, the other party entered the Holy Domain and immediately ambushed and killed the Azure Lotus Envoy whom he had designated.

He thought this was surprising enough, but he didn't expect the other party to be able to hide so quietly that even he couldn't find them.

It really gave me quite a few "surprises"!

On this trip, he gathered the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Three Realms and the Azure Lotus Envoy of the Luo Family to enter the Domain River. His intention was to take advantage of the fact that the Venerables in the Domain River could not notice him, so as to wipe out these people and stir up the waters of the Three Realms.

After swallowing these Nascent Soul cultivators, he devoted himself to cultivation for a period of time, and it was almost certain that he would become a Venerable!
Even if the Three Realms Venerables or the Luo family have some doubts by then, who would dare to offend a Venerable?

Even a Venerable One is still just an ant, and a Nascent Soul cultivator is nothing more than a slightly stronger ant. Who would care?
"Just this hungry ghost?" A shadow fell over Blood Buddha's heart.

The affairs of the Holy Land must not be leaked. Since we cannot find it, we can only eat these people first, and then concentrate our efforts on searching for that hungry ghost.

If they still can't find it by then, then the Holy Land will be destroyed, and there's no way to escape it.

Having made up his mind, Blood Buddha's eyes flashed with a sharp light!
The Buddha's hands are clasped together, the right hand is in a flower-holding gesture, and the left hand is slowly extended.

In the blink of an eye, the world changed, and the five Nascent Soul cultivators were instantly captured and placed into the Buddha's palm.

The five fingers, curved like pillars of heaven, burst forth with golden light, coalescing into a golden sphere of Buddhist realm. Countless illusory figures emerged within this realm, surrounding the five Nascent Soul cultivators, continuously chanting the Blood Buddha's name:

"Namo Buddha of Flesh and Blood"

Zi Zhen and the others' expressions changed drastically. Just as they were about to penetrate the Buddhist realm, the chanting of Buddhist sutras suddenly rang out beside them.

Upon closer inspection, the puppets that had been briefly imprisoned were now devoutly chanting the Blood Buddha's name, their chanting intertwined, and more and more puppets emerged from their bodies.

Even someone as strong as Zi Zhen couldn't quite control the pounding in her heart; a voice in her mind kept telling her to join in.

It was as if simply joining in the chanting would make the long-desired state of supreme enlightenment readily attainable.

With a "crack" sound, five blood shadows were about to emerge from the Holy Embryo. As long as they devoured the Nascent Souls in the Buddhist Realm and refined them into the new facial features of the Blood Buddha!
With the nine aspects gathered together, plus the original Buddha body, then his flesh and blood Venerable Buddha body is complete!

At that moment, Blood Buddha's mind stirred, and the gazes of the three Buddha faces converged on the Holy Embryo.

At the same time, a resounding Buddhist chant arose:

"Hungry ghost benefactor, are you finally giving up on hiding?"
