Contrary to the earlier calm scene, the man now vomited a black gelatinous substance, identical to what the middle-aged monk had transformed into.
“Father, your face…”
The little girl looked at her father in terror, but the middle-aged man was also trembling.
He saw black, web-like lines appearing on his daughter’s face, spreading rapidly. It seemed only a matter of time before her skin would disintegrate like the monk’s disciple, transforming into a pool of black sludge.
“Everyone, the situation has taken the worst possible turn,” Feng Yangzi stood up and announced.
Even the cultivators above the clouds with profound cultivation levels started to show black lines on their bodies. Despite their efforts to expel it with their powers, they couldn’t stop their bodies from being gradually overtaken.
“Thank you, Daoist Feng Yangzi,” Huang Long Zhenjun said solemnly, standing up and bowing seriously.
The powerful cultivators now understood why Feng Yangzi had stopped them from consuming the vegetarian feast of Tian Chong Temple.
“Someone is already dealing with the source of the contamination,” Feng Yangzi announced, bowing. “Please help to stabilize the situation and prevent panic and casualties.”
“We understand,” the group responded in unison.
By “stabilizing the situation,” Feng Yangzi meant not just around Tian Chong Temple but the entire area under its influence. On Buddha’s Birthday, all temples in Tian Chong Temple’s territory held vegetarian feasts, affecting a wide region.
The cultivators, understanding this, each chose a direction and used their powers to control the situation.
Even the least powerful among those dining with Feng Yangzi was at
mid-stage Integration, capable of covering countless miles in a thought. They moved swiftly, deploying their escape techniques while casting their divine powers.
In just a few breaths, all ordinary people and regular cultivators within Tian Chong Temple’s territory were immobilized.
The monks of Tian Chong Temple did not stop them. Those with the power to intervene had already turned into black sludge, heading towards the rear mountain of Tian Chong Temple.
According to Kongwen’s plan, even someone as powerful as Huang Long Zhenjun should have been reduced to part of the black mud by now.
“Daoist Feng Yangzi…”
After subduing the chaos, Huang Long Zhenjun returned to Tian Chong Temple. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed Feng Yangzi looking towards the rear mountain.
Following Feng Yangzi’s gaze, Huang Long Zhenjun saw a massive mountain range suddenly take flight.
“So, you were hiding here.”
Lu Xuan lifted the mountain range with one hand, revealing the true form of the monstrous creature. It had a slug-like body, resembling a mountain of flesh composed of numerous chunks, covered in dark green slime. The chaotic twitching of the flesh suggested breathing.
Cheng Lingzhu, following Lu Xuan, found the creature repulsive, and Lu Xuan shared her sentiment.
On the ground, a gelatinous substance resembling the flesh of the creature, the transformed Tian Chong Temple monks, flowed and merged into small streams and rivers, eventually returning to the dark sea, becoming part of it.
The flesh mountain trembled, raising waves as if celebrating its return to the mother entity.
Tendrils of flesh sprouted and rapidly hardened into black spears, thrusting towards Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan watched intently, and as his gaze darkened, the flesh tendrils crumbled into dust.
Raising his hand, the earth churned and formed sharp spikes that effortlessly pierced the monster’s body.
The creature, in pain, contracted and writhed, trying to snap the earthen spikes. However, these seemingly ordinary spikes were more robust than immortal gold. They grew into a thorny prison, intending to entrap the monster.
Sensing the imminent danger, the monster’s “belly” split open, pushing out a massive fleshy orb.
The orb unfolded like petals, revealing its pale core, which seemed to struggle with the external environment.
The core cracked open, and out emerged a creature unlike any seen before.
Buddha is said to have thirty-two physical characteristics.
From the evenly flat soles of the feet to the round wheel sign, long and slender fingers, soft and smooth limbs, webbed fingers…
To the forty perfect teeth, deep-rooted white and even teeth, large and white canine teeth, lion-like jaws…
Long eyelashes like a bull, a white tuft between the eyebrows like fine wool, and a topknot signifying the highest spiritual attainment. Now, these thirty-two characteristics were fused into one entity.
This was the “True Buddha” in Kong Wen’s vision.
However, due to Lu Xuan’s intervention, it was born prematurely, underdeveloped.
The True Buddha with thirty-two characteristics stretched out, with strange cosmic laws forming around it, spreading outwards, contaminating everything in its vicinity.
Lu Xuan’s palm glowed, and he pressed his hand downwards.
Pure white light illuminated, enveloping the entire area.
After a few moments, the light dissipated, and both the True Buddha and the monstrous creature were nowhere to be seen.
The people of Tian Chong Temple’s territory who had participated in the Buddha’s Birthday vegetarian feast also returned to normal..
