Chapter 190 - 137: When Are You Going to Eat Me?

Chapter 190: Chapter 137: When Are You Going to Eat Me?

In that instant, everyone heard it.

The roar of a dragon, born from within the bone.

"Zi Hua Master! Act now!"

Xue Nichang had actually succeeded in resonating with the Dragon Bone, forming a phantom image.

Of course, this trace of draconic will was not real; it was a fleeting, false imitation.

But if a Great Cultivator were present and used the technique of Inverting Illusion into Reality, they could refine this fleeting trace of draconic will from false to real, completely transforming it into a revived draconic will.

And as it happened, there was someone here who was not only in the Sixth Realm of the Painting Dao, but also a practitioner of the Eye-Pointing Painting Dao.

All he had to do was use his Dao to bring the false eyes of the dragon phantom Xue Nichang had generated to life, and the great task would be complete.

"Zi Hua Master!?"

Xue Nichang shouted, "Why are you just standing there? Have you forgotten our agreement?"

Zi Hua Master shook his head. "This humble monk is no Zi Hua Master."

As he spoke, the top of Zi Hua Master’s head was lifted open, and a monk in black kasaya robes shot out from within.

Shifo Temple—Seventh Realm Yao Guang.

The Brain-Eating Evil Buddha!

Xue Nichang stared at the Brain-Eating Evil Buddha in disbelief. "Why? When..."

The Brain-Eating Evil Buddha put his palms together. "Amitabha. From the very beginning, of course."

When Zi Hua Master was capturing the big yellow dog, he had encountered this very Brain-Eating Evil Buddha. Zi Hua Master thought he could escape, but a Sixth Realm cultivator was simply too weak before a Seventh Realm one. He had his brain forcibly dug out, and his body was turned into a disguise for the Brain-Eating Evil Buddha.

The Brain-Eating Evil Buddha had been hiding inside Zi Hua Master’s skull until this very moment.

"I must thank Benefactor Nichang for bringing this humble monk to this place. To repay Miss Nichang, you shall follow this humble monk to the Buddhist Sect."

The Brain-Eating Evil Buddha’s massive hand materialized in the air.

But before the massive hand could touch Xue Nichang, a Bloodthirsty Long Saber shattered it to pieces.

The Blood Demon Lord’s figure solidified behind the blood saber. "An Evil Buddha has come to my Blood Demon Palace, yet you didn’t think to inform me beforehand."

The Brain-Eating Evil Buddha bared his chillingly white teeth. "Xue Lie, oh, Xue Lie. Others may not know what you’re up to, but this humble monk does. You want to use the will of the Dragon Bone to reshape your great Dao, perhaps even ascend beyond Yao Guang. For such ambition, even this humble monk is impressed!"

Among the three thousand great Daos of this world, it is extremely rare for two people to have the exact same Dao.

But what happens if someone truly cultivates the same Dao as another?

A Dao contention.

For example, if someone were to cultivate the True Sword Dao now, not only would it be a hundred times more difficult than cultivating an ownerless Dao, but when that person reached the stage of igniting their Yao Guang Dao Star, they would have to face Jiang Jiayi to decide the ownership of the Dao Star.

Unless you have no desire to enter Yao Guang, a Dao contention is inevitable.

The Blood Demon Palace was currently facing this very dilemma.

Aside from the Blood Demon Lord, it was hopeless for anyone else to attain the Dao. The palace had been established for five hundred years now, and this problem was growing more severe. If it wasn’t resolved soon, the moment the Blood Demon Lord died, the Blood Demon Palace would inevitably suffer a great crisis from a lack of successors.

The Brain-Eating Evil Buddha smiled eerily. "But this humble monk never expected that the great Blood Demon Lord would entrust such a crucial matter to a group of children."

It was strange from the start. How could such an important task be accomplished by a few youngsters who hadn’t even reached the Fifth Realm?

"This humble monk has shattered the phantom image, preventing it from solidifying. Xue Lie, how will you alter your Dao now?!"

But the Blood Demon Lord wasn’t angered in the slightest. "Since you already know I wouldn’t entrust such an important matter to them, you should also know that their actions are not important."

Xue Nichang’s figure immediately appeared before the Blood Demon Lord. She couldn’t help but ask, "Father...?"

"You’ve done well."

A drop of brilliant golden blood appeared in the Blood Demon Lord’s hand. A minuscule thread separated from the drop and shot into Xue Nichang’s body.

In an instant.

Xue Nichang reached the Fifth Realm on the spot.

The Brain-Eating Evil Buddha’s eyes went wide. He roared, "Xue Lie! You actually managed to refine a drop of blood from the Dragon Bone?"

The Blood Demon Lord had spent several hundred years using his Yao Guang Technique on the Dragon Bone to refine this single wisp of true Golden Dragon Blood.

The so-called Dragon Transformation Bone ritual was never about reviving the Dragon Bone. It was about screening a Blood Demon descendant to establish a connection with the dragon, making it convenient for the Blood Demon Lord to test if a human body could withstand Dragon Blood, and if the new Dao’s connection to the Blood Demon could be successfully severed.

Therefore, whether the Dragon Bone revived was never important. What mattered was who could connect with it.

Xue Nichang had successfully established the connection and withstood the Dragon Blood. She had become the first person to break free from the shackles of the Blood Dao. The Dao she cultivated was now different from the Blood Demon Lord’s.

But this was still not enough. The root of the Blood Demon Palace was the Blood Demon Lord himself.

"Evil Buddha, since you’ve come today, don’t even think about leaving!"

The Blood Demon Lord absorbed the entire drop of golden blood into himself. His eyes turned golden, and a draconic will soared into the sky.

His long saber, carrying immense momentum, unleashed a ten-thousand-zhang blade qi that cleaved toward the Brain-Eating Evil Buddha.

The Brain-Eating Evil Buddha did not dodge. A ten-thousand-zhang true form of the Evil Buddha manifested behind him. A Buddha’s Palm met the saber strike, and he showed no signs of panic. "Xue Lie, you can’t possibly digest that drop of blood completely!"

If it were that easy to digest, why would Xue Lie have needed his descendant to conduct this experiment?

Xue Lie snorted coldly.

The entire Sea of Blood began to flip over. The ground became the sky, the sky became the sea, and the Sea of Blood began to fall upward.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Stop your yelling, I’m busy."

Mei Zhaozhao was digging at some rocks when she heard a terrifying roar.

At first, she paid it no mind. But eventually, annoyed by the noise, she finally looked up and saw a red figure shrieking in extreme pain.

’Serves it right!’

The iron chains, glinting with a cold light, bound the Blood Demon tightly and were pulling ever tighter. Amid the sound of grinding metal links, the red figure was being hoisted upward.
