Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 389 Mutual Devouring
With the Buddha-like face of Tianning Daoist, he shouted loudly:
"presumptuous!"

Li Wushou manipulated the invisible golden core, his body becoming nothingness, his target aimed directly at the figure on the blood lotus.

Ever since he discovered that the Blood Buddha could control the essence of the Blood and Flesh Sacred Domain, Li Wushou had been thinking about one question: how did the Blood Buddha control the Sacred Domain?

This sacred realm was clearly not a manifestation of the Blood Buddha's own Buddhist realm. After Tianning Daoist was suddenly devoured by flesh and blood and transformed into one of the nine-headed Buddha bodies, Li Wushou finally saw some clues.

That means you have an extra face!

The white-robed Blood Buddha, Tianning Daoist, and Wuxiang Daoist transformed into three faces of a nine-headed Buddha.

According to the Blood Buddha Dharma, the remaining six Buddha faces need to consume the six Nascent Soul cultivators present and the six blood shadows within the Holy Embryo.

But in addition to these six blood shadows, there was another figure inside the Holy Embryo.

That was the figure of the Blood Buddha sitting cross-legged on the Blood Lotus.

This blood-red figure was the first to hatch the moment the sacred embryo withered.

Unlike the eight figures in the niche, this one had the features of the Blood Buddha the moment it hatched. Furthermore, as Tianning Daoist and Wuxiang Daoist devoured it, even its skin and internal organs began to resemble those of the Blood Buddha.

Li Wushou guessed that this was the Holy Spirit of the Holy Realm conceived within the Holy Embryo, but this Holy Spirit had been parasitized and enslaved by the Blood Buddha.

Because Li Wushou consumed a large number of puppets, his invisible golden core also had a mysterious connection with this sacred domain.

He immediately realized that as the blood-red figure on the blood lotus became more and more like the Blood Buddha, the Blood Buddha's will was gradually replacing the will in the Holy Domain and becoming the will of this Holy Domain.

The most obvious difference is that the newborn puppets gradually begin to resemble monks.

These facts clearly confirm Li Wushou's conjecture!
Realizing this, Li Wushou secretly used his Ink Shadow ability to draw a void of the Seven Palaces (West), leaving behind the ink body of the Hungry Ghost. He then wrapped his entire body in an invisible golden elixir, waiting for an opportunity to escape into the Holy Embryo.

But as soon as he got close to the Holy Embryo, Li Wushou could sense an instinctive sense of rejection.

This made him hesitant to force his way in, otherwise he would definitely attract the attention of the Blood Buddha. He could sense that although the Blood Buddha was dealing with those Nascent Soul cultivators, the white-robed Blood Buddha's gaze was constantly scrutinizing all directions.

Faced with such a powerful Blood Buddha, Li Wushou did not want to confront him head-on!

Therefore, Li Wushou silently recited "Food is Heaven" to digest the puppet in the formless golden elixir while patiently waiting for an opportunity.

Fortunately, these Nascent Soul cultivators were not willing to be directly devoured by the Blood Buddha.

Although these Nascent Soul cultivators were unaware of the Blood Buddha's methods of manipulating the Holy Domain, they instead used the Nine Palaces "Well" to gather power and directly attack the Holy Embryo's "Central Palace."

This gave Li Wushou an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos. Although the combined force of the six was interrupted by the self-destruction of the boundary force of the Wuxiang Daoist, it still briefly disrupted the energy around the Holy Embryo.

Taking advantage of the situation, Li Wushou escaped into the Holy Embryo.

However, the Blood Buddha was far more vigilant than he had imagined. Not long after he entered the Holy Embryo, the other party saw through him.

Therefore, Li Wushou could only recreate the Hungry Ghost Ink Body, and then use the Invisible Golden Core to generate countless small Hungry Ghosts to surround the Blood Lotus. Sure enough, the Blood Buddha fell for it and directly crushed the Hungry Ghost Ink Body and the small Hungry Ghosts.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Wushou concealed the formless golden elixir within itself, mixing it into the blood, flesh, and essence of the void.

As the Blood Lotus root tendons absorbed the energy, Li Wushou's invisible golden elixir entered the Blood Lotus's body. This was the perfect opportunity for him to devour the Holy Spirit on the Blood Lotus.

Once he devours the Holy Spirit, it will be him, not the Blood Buddha, who receives the blessing of the Holy Domain.

With one side gaining and the other losing, it's entirely possible to take down Blood Buddha in one fell swoop!
Sensing Li Wushou's movements, the Blood Buddha's gaze sharpened, and the figure on the Blood Lotus and the Blood and Flesh Buddha in the sky simultaneously formed a hand seal with their fingers.

Streaks of blood-red light appeared behind the Blood Lotus's head, while chanting resounded above it. The essence of flesh and blood in the void suddenly transformed into countless fleshy features, falling like raindrops.

Flesh and blood piled up on the blood lotus, transforming into a current that rushed down along the roots of the blood lotus and devoured Li Wushou's invisible golden core.

Clad in white, Wuxiang, the two Buddha-faced figures were solemn, while Tianning Buddha-face revealed a cold smile.

So what if you've discovered the key to the Holy Spirit?

When it comes to devouring flesh and blood, Blood Buddha has never been afraid of anyone!
Even the Great Venerable Zhenhai, Blood Buddha always believed that the Great Venerable was merely stronger in terms of blood and energy.

Dare to swallow him? You're asking for death!

Two surging torrents of energy suddenly clashed at the roots of the Blood Lotus. The four Nascent Soul cultivators, who had regained their sense of the abnormality due to the Blood Buddha's angry shout, looked towards the Blood Lotus once more.

Then they heard a horrifying swallowing sound.

Upon closer inspection, large swaths of flesh and facial features were eerily disappearing.

Judging from the fractured surfaces that occasionally appear on the flesh and facial features, these features are being constantly bitten and devoured by an invisible entity.

"A hungry ghost?! It can actually devour the flesh and features of the Blood Buddha?"

The four were shocked, especially Qujiang and Bayong, who were more familiar with hungry ghosts. They had never heard that hungry ghosts had such abilities!
After a feeling of disbelief arose, Qujiang and Bayong were overjoyed. The fact that the hungry ghost had this ability was naturally a good thing for them at this moment. With their minds focused, Qujiang and Bayong began to accumulate power.

Seeing this, Zi Zhen and Wu Xia also closed their eyes and became deep in thought.

Even Lu Xingzhi, who was already covered by puppets and no longer human, burst forth with the desire to live. However, although he was not yet dead, he was already a lamb to the slaughter and powerless to resist.

As the four remained silent, Blood Buddha was utterly shocked.

This time, before Tianning Buddha could speak, the ever-calm white-robed Buddha murmured:
"How can this be?"

A strange creature actually surpasses him in its ability to devour flesh and blood?

Moreover, the domineering and irresistible devouring power was so overwhelming that even his flesh and senses could not resist it. What kind of ability is this?
Seeing that the devouring force had already leaped onto the blood lotus, the Blood Buddha hurriedly used the power of his flesh and blood Buddha body to bless it, lifting the left hand of the Buddha realm and stretching it forward.

Li Wushou suddenly felt as if a vast sky was pressing down on him.

The weight of a world was something even Li Wushou found difficult to bear.

The invisible golden core cracked continuously, and the physical body encased within it was about to reveal itself.

Li Wushou was not afraid of the Blood Buddha's devouring technique, but this absolute power was indeed something he could hardly withstand.

It seems that I have no choice but to forcibly use the dragon seed to enhance my physical body!

With a sigh, Li Wushou prepared to exert his strength.

Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from the Buddha Realm in the palm of the hand.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Blood Buddha diverted his power, the four Nascent Soul cultivators, focused on their work, burst forth with golden light and simultaneously chose to burn a portion of their primordial spirit, blasting it towards the Buddhist realm.

A series of cracking sounds rang out, and the Buddhist realm suddenly shattered!
The five Nascent Soul cultivators escaped from the Buddha's palm. At the same time, Li Wushou felt a sudden lightness in his body and thought to himself, "Heaven is helping me!" He then activated his invisible golden core with all his might and rushed towards the Holy Spirit on the Blood Lotus.

The Holy Spirit's body trembled, and the features on his face instantly withered into empty black holes. The flesh on his face then began to writhe, and a new set of features appeared on his face.

Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a ghost face!
