The chat group admin really knows when to take action.

The Void Devouring Flame instantly grew taller, and endless flames formed a gigantic body.

This body is also a thousand feet tall.

The flames devoured everything, turning everything around into ashes.

"Amitabha!"

Gatling Bodhisattva shook his head helplessly.

Once the cause and effect are locked, this bullet's ethereal flames cannot be stopped.

Because this is fate.

Void Devouring Flame swiftly swung his hands, attempting to disperse the densely packed bullets around him.

Endless black palm shadows, burning with incomparably dark flames, surged towards the golden light filling the sky.

But these bullets were like illusory bubbles, passing through the attack of the Void Devouring Flame and striking his body.

These bullets are not very powerful, but their side effects are particularly dangerous.

"You killed me!"

Why did you exterminate my entire clan?!

"Damn it, why did they eat me?"

"Come to hell with me!"

After being hit by a bullet, Void Flame heard an extremely resentful voice in his ear.

These voices were both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar to him.

Those were memories he had forgotten.

These souls are those he devoured.

The karma on the Void Devouring Flame erupted.

This is the power that Gatling Bodhisattva bestowed upon him for his bullets.

In Buddhism, karma refers to the karmic force formed by our actions (causal causes), which requires various conditions to trigger and produce results.

If karmic causes do not lead to karmic consequences, then those causes can continue for thousands of eons until the causes mature and the karmic consequences manifest.

Simply put, every action we take has a result, which can be good or bad. If we do good deeds, we will get good results.

If we do bad things, we will get bad results.

This is the law of cause and effect, karma.

Gatling Buddha prematurely detonated the karma on the Void Devouring Flame.

If one is dragged into the abyss by this karmic force, the word "despair" is not enough to describe it.

"Now that you're dead, you'd better all be quiet."

The Void Devouring Flame roared and unleashed endless flames.

The flames directly dispelled the sounds around him.

It dispelled the karmic forces within his body.

Black flames appeared in the azure sky, covering everything.

These flames looked like dark clouds from a distance.

The Void Devouring Flame unleashed the full power within him.

The thousand-foot-long fiery body dissipated, transforming into a black curtain tens of thousands of feet long, obscuring the sky and the sun.

In this situation, its original spark was also revealed.

The black flames that blotted out the sky surged wildly like an angry dragon.

Gatling Bodhisattva seemed to understand something upon seeing this scene.

"I see. Human karma can never affect matter. A flame with sentience is not human in essence. It seems that I underestimated you, benefactor."

The flames burned people to death.

This karmic force can manifest in the person who started the fire.

It can also appear on people who are burned to death.

However, it will not appear on the flame itself.

Because fire is a substance, it cannot bear the karmic consequences brought about by life.

Although the Void Devouring Flame possesses sentience, its essence remains that of a flame.

Therefore, karma and cause and effect have little effect on him.

……

……

The Void Devouring Flame glared angrily at Gatling Bodhisattva.

If he weren't essentially a flame, he would already be trapped in the abyss of despair.

"You bastard, you deserve to die!"

The black flames and dark clouds emitted a muffled thunderous sound.

Then, black raindrops slowly fell.

This is an extremely concentrated flame, so concentrated that it appears to be in a liquid state.

Flames that devoured everything filled the space between heaven and earth.

Any substance that comes into contact with these flames will instantly turn to nothingness.

The aura emanating from Gatling Bodhisattva gradually diminished.

Tiny flames filled the air, completely invisible to the naked eye.

These tiny flames enter the body with each breath, destroying everything inside.

But Gatling Bodhisattva does not need to breathe.

In the midst of the pouring black rain, Gatling Bodhisattva put away his machine gun, which was meant to save lives.

“Benefactor, are you willing to lay down your butcher’s knife?”

The Void Devouring Flame, which had transformed into a sky full of fiery clouds, was completely dumbfounded.

"What are you talking about?"

“Amitabha Buddha, benefactor, I see that you have a karmic connection with the Buddha.”

In Buddhism and Taoism, the most interesting thing is to convert some strange and unusual things.

The various guardian beasts of Lingshan Mountain were all converted by Buddhists.

Moreover, in Buddhism and Taoism, the more difficult something is to manifest, the more interesting and challenging it becomes.

Gatling Bodhisattva wanted to convert this flame.

He wanted to prove to all Buddhists and Taoists that he could even convert a flame.

"Benefactor, lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. Enter my Buddhist sect and you can cultivate good karma in this life. In the cycle of reincarnation, you can exchange your name for my true name and receive my protection."

“Buddha? Never heard of him. But even if I die, I will never become someone like you.”

The voice of the Void Devouring Flame was filled with disgust.

This kind of hypocritical behavior disgusts him.

The number of black raindrops gradually increased.

A violent storm is coming.

Countless flames surrounded Gatling Bodhisattva, trying to completely engulf him.

The Buddha's light emanating from Gatling Bodhisattva gradually dimmed.

But there was no fear on his face.

"If I don't go to hell, who will? Please, benefactor, do as you please! I will not take any further action until I have converted you."

Chapter 261, The Buddha's Compassion

There are records of this in ancient Buddhist and Taoist texts.

Before attaining Buddhahood, the Buddha cut off his own flesh to feed an eagle, thus gaining enlightenment and a compassionate heart.

Buddhists and Taoists can attain enlightenment when they help others.

The more difficult it is to guide beings to enlightenment, the greater the chance of achieving enlightenment.

This is also why Buddhists and Taoists like to help others achieve enlightenment.

Gatling Bodhisattva was willing to endure the scorching flames with his body, just to convert a sentient flame.

The Buddha said: If I don't go to hell, who will?

As Void Devouring Flame looked at the Bodhisattva sitting cross-legged in the endless sea of ​​black fire, for some reason, a trace of pity arose in his heart.

The process of guiding and converting had already begun without anyone noticing.

……

……

The Soul Emperor felt like he was going crazy.

Buddha's Barrett fired wildly like an automatic rifle.

Even Jiang Nan, who was watching the show from the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh.

"I knew cannons could fire in rapid succession, but they had to ban me for ten years."

The Soul Emperor's cultivation level had fallen to the eighth-star Dou Sheng, and he was almost in tears.
