The God of the Human Realm!

Chapter 124 The Name of Ten Thousand Calamities, A Bountiful Harvest

This face is ferocious and terrifying, devoid of any charm. At first glance, it resembles a demon, but upon closer inspection, it looks like a composite of many women's faces.

These faces all showed expressions of pain and contortion, and they screamed in unison, their sharp whistling sounds transforming into arrows with a terrifying power.

The monks who were closer heard the sound and immediately turned pale, as if their souls had been struck by an arrow, and they staggered and fell down.

Some unlucky ones even plunged directly into the raging flames, instantly turning into piles of burning figures.

"Noisy!"

Hong Yuan frowned deeply. The hissing did not shake his mind, but it was like hundreds or thousands of flies buzzing in his ears, which was extremely annoying.

He channeled his power between his fingers and palms, and the dense cutting force became as heavy as a mountain. Honglian's bones and muscles cracked and groaned as if she could not bear the weight.

The wide black robe covering his body was torn open with force, revealing pale, cold, and bloodless skin. Then, his skin cracked like porcelain shards, making a cracking sound.

Honglian's aura suddenly dropped, she screamed, and fell to the ground as Hong Yuan stomped on her head.

The Six Void Forces flowed out from the soles of the feet, quickly invading the opponent's body, disrupting and blocking the flow of qi and blood. Hong Yuan rose up and shot out like a sharp arrow.

His Holiness Ratnasambhava is fleeing for his life.

His once plump face was now devoid of its usual smile, his eyes filled with horror. He didn't even care about the body of the Dharma King, and with all his might, he hastily retreated.

However, one of its legs had been severely injured earlier, causing it to limp as it fled, resembling a fat rabbit with a lame leg. This not only slowed its speed but also made it look somewhat comical.

Ratnasambhava ignored everything else; he had only one thought in his mind.

escape!
A storm raged within him, and he felt an unprecedented shock and absurdity.

The Red Lotus Sect's latest operation has brought together two great Dharma Kings...

Oh! If we include Song Yinglong, who has become a corpse puppet, then that makes three kings.

The three Dharma Kings of the Red Lotus Sect, along with the goddess Red Lotus who serves the 'Great Desire Heaven', the Venerable Envoy of All Illumination, and five top experts, formed a formidable lineup that lived up to the four-hundred-year-old reputation of the Vajra Temple.

Who could have predicted this outcome?
The Daoist of Ten Thousand Calamities...

This person's name was one that Dharma King Baosheng had never heard of before, but his martial arts skills were incredibly powerful. He not only attacked their Red Lotus Sect, but also dragged Sanhui into the offensive.

He single-handedly confronted eight top masters.

In a short time, he killed Qingjing and Huitong, suppressed Honglian, and easily forced the unfathomable master Bianzhao to abandon the 'Eye of Nirvana' and leave.

This kind of combat power is simply astonishing.

Does the Crimson Lotus Saint Master possess such power?
The thought involuntarily flashed through the mind of His Holiness Ratnasambhava.

In the Red Lotus Sect's propagation, the Holy Lord is said to be the incarnation of the 'Great Desire Heaven' on earth. Ordinary followers revere him as a deity and naturally feel that he is omnipotent.

But His Holiness the Dharma King Ratnasambhava is part of the core group and wouldn't be a believer in deities...

The moment the thought arose, Dharma King Baosheng suddenly heard a soft laugh, followed by a flash of clear light, and he seemed to see robes fluttering before his eyes, and then a cold glint appeared.

At first, it was barely visible, like a tiny arc of light splitting open in the boundless sky. In an instant, it transformed into a dazzling star, bright and sharp.

His Holiness Ratnasambhava also clearly saw that it was a finger.

A finger fell like a star from the sky, crashing down with a thunderous roar. Dharma King Baosheng dared not be negligent in the slightest. He suddenly stopped, his strength rising from the ground. The force between his palms surged, and waves of energy rose into the air, forming a series of defensive walls.

Boom boom boom!
The sound of bubbles bursting rang out, rendering the defenses set up by Dharma King Baosheng completely useless and shattered in an instant. He watched helplessly as the finger transformed into a pillar of heaven, piercing straight towards his brow. He hurriedly blocked it with both palms.

The next moment, Dharma King Baosheng felt his palm go empty, and a sharp aura was released, landing between his eyebrows and eyes, bringing a chilling sensation.

Ratnasambhava was terrified, thinking he was doomed, when suddenly that calm voice rang out again: "Stay put and don't move. I'll spare your life. Remember to thank me!"

As the words drifted by, a gust of wind rose beside him, and the figure swept past him.

At this moment, Dharma King Baosheng felt a surge of intense pain coming from his palms.

His thick, fleshy palms had been pierced by an invisible force, leaving deep holes, and the coldness on his face was from splattered blood.

Hong Yuan had already floated down to Hui Ming and Hui Zhi in front of them, looking relaxed.

The two monks, Huiming and Huisheng, were on tenterhooks, their expressions grim. Then they heard Hongyuan slowly speak: "Masters, do you still stand by your previous vow of 'fight to the death'?"

"Why don't you do it?"

A fierce wind blew, carrying the heat of the rising fireworks, and a cacophony of shouts and cries filled the air, but the two monks, Huiming and Huizhi, were unable to utter a single word.

About half an hour later.

The fire at Jingang Temple was eventually extinguished, thanks in part to the monks' efforts in fighting the fire, as well as the contributions of many believers and wealthy families in the city.

Although the flames were extinguished, undercurrents were surging beneath the surface.

The Secret Pagoda was destroyed, and a large area of ​​Vajra Temple was burned to the ground. Disciples and followers suffered heavy casualties, and high-ranking monks of the Hui generation were injured. Huitong died on the spot.

The news simply cannot be concealed.

Jingang Temple held a dominant position in Songyang County, so many powerful families would send their sons, nephews, and confidants to the temple to become monks, both to curry favor and to express their submission.

This is the survival strategy of the powerful clans.

If the Vajra Temple continues to prosper, they will always remain subservient. However, once the Vajra Temple shows signs of decline, these people become the eyes and ears of the powerful clans.

Daoist Wan Jie!

Before the name had even spread throughout the martial arts world, it had already become the focus of attention for the powerful clans and major gangs of Songyang County.

He single-handedly subdued many top masters from the Red Lotus Sect and the Vajra Temple.

But right now, that Wan Jie Daoist hasn't left the Vajra Temple yet.

The powerful clans and gang leaders were both uneasy, unsure how to deal with this upheaval, and secretly gloating.

The monks of Vajra Temple are domineering, but this time the sect has been severely damaged, and even Huitong is dead. They still have to swallow their anger.

Inside the Vajra Temple, in a neat courtyard, the surroundings are spacious and very quiet.

Huiming and Huizhi stood with bows, each holding a pile of silk books. Regardless of their inner thoughts, they maintained a respectful demeanor.

As for the talk of a fight to the death, they never lied in front of the Buddha. When did they ever say that?

Hong Yuan sat in the stone pavilion, glanced at the two men, and smiled: "You two masters didn't tamper with the content, did you?"

Huiming lowered his gaze, avoiding eye contact with Hong Yuan, and said with a wry smile, "In front of such a venerable person as you, how could this humble monk dare to do such a sneaky thing? I only ask that after you have satisfied your wishes, you will no longer make things difficult for our temple."

Hong Yuan remained noncommittal and beckoned, saying, "Bring them here!" Soon all the silk scrolls were placed in front of Hong Yuan, including techniques for internal strength, true skills, and even two manuals on body-strengthening techniques.

The ink was still wet; everything was rewritten, and the hidden meanings were removed.

Looking at these silk scrolls, Hong Yuan couldn't help but marvel at the profound heritage of the major sects, especially the Vajra Temple, which had a history of nearly four hundred years and was the most profound among the three major sects of Mingzhou.

There were nearly twenty common techniques of internal force. Hong Yuan flipped through them at a glance, browsing very quickly. By the time he finished reading the book, he had memorized them all.

There are six types of subtle-level internal force techniques, three of which even made Hong Yuan raise an eyebrow, feeling a sense of surprise.

'Vajra Riding Strength' is a force that can be used for both offense and defense, and it also treats the physical body as a raft to cross the sea of ​​suffering. Once mastered, the muscles, bones, qi, and blood become as solid as Vajra.

The 'Spiral Dharani Force' is a very special 'spiral force', and its wonderful uses are even greater than the 'whale swallowing and feeding force'.

To state clearly at the outset, Dharani means "total retention" or "the ability to retain," thus this powerful intention is to retain all dharmas!

The reason it is called a special spiral force is that this force does not penetrate, but rather forms a harmonious and flowing energy field around the body, like the continuous sound of chanting.

Its ultimate goal is to achieve the wonderful effect of harmonizing all kinds of forces.

"Harmonize all forces, making them move in a unified and smooth manner..."

As Hong Yuan observed this "Dharani Force," he felt that his trip to the Vajra Temple was truly worthwhile, as the goal of this force was somewhat aligned with his next stage of cultivation, "Eight Forces in One."

The master who created this method of internal force must have had the grand ambition of combining various forces, but unfortunately he was unable to achieve it and it was only a rough prototype.

But that was enough. Having absorbed the methods, Hong Yuan gained a lot, and the plan to "unify the eight powers" took another big step forward.

Hong Yuan integrated the "Dharani Power" with his own insights, which sparked a lot of inspiration in his mind, making him eager to try it out.

In the end, he suppressed his urge and opened the last volume of the book on internal strength techniques.

'Prajna Emptiness Force'!
Prajna means wisdom, using wisdom to navigate the void.

This is an incredibly sophisticated technique for lightness of body, and its explanation of the concept of lightness skill even surpasses that of Hong Yuan in many ways.

The key to this power lies in 'transforming into emptiness', which means eliminating all the constraints between heaven and earth, moving towards emptiness, and reaching a state of unrestrained emptiness.

"flight……"

Hong Yuan saw the creator's ambition in this book of internal strength techniques. The other party wanted to fly, not by using magic to briefly soar into the air, but by using his own internal strength to fly high into the sky.

According to the "Yin Shu", the Dragon Emperor created the method of strength and spread it throughout the world.

That's a story from six hundred years ago.

Over these six hundred years, the art of internal force has developed greatly, with countless talented individuals devoting their lives to creating all sorts of amazing techniques.

Not to be underestimated.

After a moment of contemplation, Hong Yuan focused his attention on the true skill.

The internal strength technique can unleash his enormous potential and enhance his combat power, while the true skill can promote the growth of his physical constitution and increase his potential.

There are three kinds of true skills at Kongo Temple, the most exquisite of which is the 'Great Sun Vajra Body' practiced by Huiming!
This method focuses on cultivating the spleen and bone marrow, enabling the integration of supernatural powers with the physical body.

The 'Vajra Power' and 'Great Sun Vajra Body' are considered a set, with the 'Vajra Power' penetrating the spleen and bones and transforming into a different kind of power.

In addition to the 'Great Sun Vajra Body', there are also the 'Mount Sumeru Palm' and the 'Mighty Vajra Palm'!
Overall, they all followed a powerful, forceful, and domineering approach. After seeing them, Hong Yuan had the thought that "this thing is destined for me."

But he quickly realized that it wasn't that these power techniques and true skills were destined for him, as if each one was suitable for him, but rather that his stats were too comprehensive.

Any method is supplementary to him.

Hong Yuan opened the Gang Body Technique and asked as he looked at it, "Does your temple have any experts who cultivate the Gang Body?"

While Hong Yuan was engrossed in observing the various methods, Hui Ming and Hui Zhi did not leave, remaining motionless and bowing in waiting.

His face showed little expression, but he was in great turmoil and suffering immense torment.

It was as if they had been stripped naked and placed on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

These numerous teachings, representing hundreds of years of accumulated knowledge and experience at Vajra Temple, were being handed over with open arms. The two felt as if they were being torn apart like flesh.

However, they were at the mercy of others; if they didn't do this, it was hard to say whether Vajra Temple could even survive.

Huiming's heart was bleeding. He lowered his head and replied, "No, these two volumes of Gangti Technique were obtained by chance and are kept in this temple."

Hong Yuan nodded, not surprised at all.

There are three paths: True Skill, Alchemy, and Divine Body.

The Gang Body is extremely dangerous and unpredictable, and once it is modified, it will lead to a demonic path that is neither human nor ghost. Naturally, a major sect with a profound foundation like the Vajra Temple would not want to learn it.

On the contrary, the Red Lotus Sect, being a lewd and evil religion, doesn't care about these things.

"【Burning City Fire Soul Qi】..."

Hong Yuan looked at the Gang Body Technique in his hand and thought of Hong Lian. After he suppressed her, he did not want to kill her immediately, but wanted to force her to reveal some secrets.

Unexpectedly, once his physical body broke, by the time Hong Yuan turned around to look, he was already lifeless.

"The technique used by the Red Lotus Cult demoness earlier was called something like [Empty Flower Skin Painting Qi]. Is this also a Qi Body? Why do I feel that it's quite different from Inner Qi and Outer Qi?"

A strange light flashed in Huiming's eyes. He slightly raised his gaze, glanced at Hong Yuan, and then lowered it again.

He hadn't expected that such a powerful figure wouldn't know about this. While secretly speculating about the other party's background, he replied, "The Red Lotus Demoness does indeed use the Gang Body, which is called 'Void Soul Gang,' also known as 'Ghost Gang'!"

"This method has a long history. Legend has it that it existed even before the establishment of the Great Yin Dynasty, during the Youjie Era. It was left behind by the evil gods of that time."

"On the contrary, the methods of inner and outer qi appeared after the Dragon Emperor. Some people speculate that the inner and outer qi body methods were also created by the Dragon Emperor, and their names were also borrowed from 'Void Soul Qi'!"

Huiming paused, his eyes flashing, and continued, "The Inner and Outer Qi Body is a method of transforming the physical body with magic, making one resemble a demon, while the 'Void Soul Qi' is a method of refining the spirit, transforming one into a ghost or god, and is said to be a method of achieving immortality."

"Refining the Spirit?"

Hong Yuan thought about what he had seen when he was pulled into the illusion by Hong Lian, and then glanced at Hui Ming's eyes.

Although the other party spoke respectfully, Hong Yuan could sense the malice in their words. What did they mean by mentioning the 'method of immortality'?
Isn't it just an attempt to lure him into pursuing the 'Void Soul Qi'?

Whether it's a confrontation with the Red Lotus Cult or other evil cults, or whether it's actually cultivating the 'Void Soul罡', judging from the Red Lotus's current state, it's a huge pitfall.

Hong Yuan chuckled lightly, not taking it to heart. After all, he had killed and set fire to the Vajra Temple, taking everything he could, and bullied it to such an extent that it was not allowed to have any ulterior motives!
