Chapter 667: Chapter 425: Thunder Comes
“Boom!”
A thunderclap roared, a lightning bolt exploded into the house, its ghastly pale light illuminating everything.
Immediately after, a figure was seen extracting itself and, without hesitation, darted outwards, hurrying away.
It was none other than the Lord of the Black Lotus.
The Bodhisattva of Flesh and Blood had taken shape, about to become an incarnation of the Buddha Mother.
Although he had no idea why this Taoist with terrifying thunder series cultivation had gone mad, not stopping the Bodhisattva’s flesh and blood from achieving Nirvana and the Buddha Mother from descending into the world, but instead coming to kill him – the inconsequential Lord of the Black Lotus – regardless, he had no intention of losing his life.
Their recent clash had already proved that this person’s strength was extraordinary and his mastery of thunder series was terrifying. He was not an opponent he could match; a direct confrontation would only lead to a dead end.
As the Lord of the Black Lotus, he was different from those expendable disciples; he had a certain sense of self-awareness and autonomy. In such a situation, he knew to preserve his own life.
So…
Hurry, hurry, escape, escape!
The Lord of the Black Lotus wrenched his body free and sped away. With his Foundation Establishment cultivation and mana urgently summoned, he transformed into a streak of black light, heading straight out of the mountain.
However…
The Taoist performed the Gang Step amidst thunder, soared with golden light under his feet, and with little use of mana, achieved astonishing speed, instantly appearing to block his way.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
He forcefully intercepted the escape, and even spoke as he did so. The flashing light of lightning revealed a face filled with terror.
But terror aside, he wouldn’t show weakness. The eyes of the Lord of the Black Lotus turned fierce. “The fleshly body is nearly complete, and the Buddha Mother is about to descend, to liberate all beings and save the people. You foolish Taoist, why not quickly convert? The merciful Buddha Mother might even spare you?”
“Oh?”
The Taoist, upon hearing this, just smiled. “I wonder, can it liberate you too?”
“!!!”
The Lord of the Black Lotus’s gaze sharpened as he sensed the underlying threat of those words and felt danger closing in. Without thinking, he hurled a streak of black light, which was the Flesh Demon Nail that had been damaged earlier.
Although injured, a magical treasure was still a magical treasure, terrifying all the same in a desperate situation.
However…
“Boom!”
With a step of the Taoist’s Gang Step, the thunder moved instantly, leaving only an afterimage that the black light penetrated through.
“Not good!”
The Lord of the Black Lotus’s face changed, his mana surged as he turned the Demon Nail around, but then saw a figure suddenly appear beside him, wielding a horsetail whisk that struck like a whip with thunderous force, striking directly at him.
“Bang!!!”
A thunderous explosion happened, the Lord of the Black Lotus turned and retreated. His Foundation Establishment mana blocked this strike of thunder, but then it collapsed, the backlash striking his own body, surging toward his dantian, turning his organs upside down, his qi blood churning.
This thunder series, this foundation…
“Ah!!”
The Lord of the Black Lotus screamed, his mana surging, his blood flowing in reverse through his meridians, prepared to fight a desperate battle.
But then, he saw a dazzling bolt of lightning, furiously bursting into his field of vision, swallowing his consciousness in an instant.
“Bang!”
A heavy sound, the demon cultivator fell to the ground, his body entangled with lightning, charred all over, bereft of any sign of life.
The Lord of the Black Lotus, a Foundation Establishment demon cultivator—dead!
“This…”
“What a weakling!”
“The BOSS is transforming and you’re not dealing with it, you come to clear the minions?”
Streamer: “Between personal safety and live streaming traffic, I chose the latter.”
“You know how to work an audience.”
In light of this development, the common folk in the live stream made jesting comments, while cultivators watching from outside spoke gravely.
“Chief, we’ve arrived!”
The helicopter sped through the sky, and as they looked at the dark, boundless Jiuqu Mountain, the assistant made a thoughtful reminder.
“…”
Nie Hailong looked up at Jiuqu Mountain, then down at the tablet in his hand and fell silent for a moment before finally saying, “Retreat outside the mountain for now, and wait and see!”
“Yes!”
…
Back in the mountain, the Buddha Mother’s embryonic body was almost ready.
The Bodhisattva of Flesh and Blood’s abdomen was swollen like a drum, straining severely, with clearly defined limbs thrashing inside, appearing ready to break through the womb and descend into the world.
Xu Yang stepped back, looking at the blurry mass of flesh, still emanating kindness despite its distortion, and with a sweep of his sleeve, an incense table and mana altar appeared.
“Hmm?”
“Is this…”
“A storage magic treasure, a space ring?”
“Big shot, you have such things too?”
“If you said you’re a deity descended to earth, I’d believe you!”
“What are you planning to do, hold a ritual?”
“So you follow the ancient methods!”
As Xu Yang swept his great sleeve, he summoned an enormous mana altar, the reactions among viewers in the direct broadcast room varied.
The mortals were alright, just watching for fun, but it was different for cultivators.
“A method for storing items!”
“Is it a magical treasure or divine power?”
“Mingxiao Taoist Temple… Who exactly are these divine beings?”
“Does he truly have the confidence to eradicate that incarnation of the Buddha Mother?”
“If he cannot eradicate her, this demon will surely become a cataclysm, even with the current changes in heaven and earth and the imminent return of the Great Cavern Heavens to the world, it will be difficult to deal with in the short term.”
These cultivators were particularly nervous, as the matter was of great importance, and any misstep could lead to a catastrophe for all living beings.
However, as outsiders, no matter how anxious they were, they could not influence the course of events.
Inside the villa, confronting the Buddha Mother, Xu Yang summoned the mana altar and immediately put away his horsetail whisk, switching to the Thunderbolt Law Sword instead.
With one point of the Law Sword, lightning flashed and seven command flags ascended, instantly splitting and landing around the writhing, pained Buddha Mother’s embryonic form, setting up the Northern Dipper Array in a moment.
“The Nine Heavens respond to the primeval, the peerless Jade Pure King.”
“Transformation fills all directions, discussing the way with nine phoenixes seated.”
“In total command of the Five Thunder Law, orchestrating the affairs of the Three Realms.”
“With a heart of great sage and great mercy, to the most royal and supreme path.
The Taoist Man chanted incantations, calling to heaven and earth, summoning divine spirits!
Suddenly…
“Whoosh!!!”
Gales arose, clouds gathered, the sky dramatically changed, a truly heart-stopping moment.
“…”
Nie Hailong looked up, saw the darkening clouds in the night sky, and quickly said to the pilot, “Come down quickly!”
The pilot, already acting, swiftly descended with the helicopter, searching the surrounding area for a place to land.
In the broadcast room, there was also a flurry of panic.
“This…”
“Are you serious?”
“Taoist, withdraw your divine power!”
“Just tell us, is there anything you can’t do?”
“It’s getting more and more exaggerated, why don’t you invite a god down?”
“Is anyone near Jiuqu Mountain? Help record this; let’s see if it’s really thundering.”
“Who exactly is this person a descendant of?”
“Such spells, unheard-of, unseen!”
The comments from the crowd were varied, each filled with shock and doubt.
“Boom!!!”
At that moment, a thunderclap roared, silencing everything momentarily.
“Crack!”
Under the thunder, the Buddha Mother’s embryonic form appeared to be stimulated, and with an explosive sound, it burst open violently.
Swollen to the extreme, the abdominal womb burst, but there was neither blood nor an infant to be seen—only a large amount of dark curse scripts poured out, forming a black nest resembling the Demon Abyss.
At the same time, in the void, eerie and bizarre sounds began once again, making a Brahma chant.
“Grant blessings, grant blessings, Bodhisattva of Flesh and Blood, Big Black Buddha Mother, the sea of bitterness is endless, turn back and find the shore, the sea of suffering is boundless turn back to the shore…”
“Reincarnation is endless, endless deliverance, Buddha Mother’s compassionate, compassionate heart, Cihang Pudu saves all beings…”
“Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha…”
Eerie and bizarre voices, sinister chants and songs, from within the Demon Abyss Black Nest, a large number of curse scriptures emerged, rapidly spreading like insects and covering all directions, forming eight blood-red, dark talismans around the Black Nest like the Bagua.
Then, flesh grew rapidly, like trees sprouting branches, flowers blooming, lotuses unfolding, swiftly emerging from the Black Nest and forming a gigantic flesh body with skinless flesh, tendon without bone.
The being had eight arms, each holding a magic artifact, a belly as big as a drum, and infants surrounding it, further sprouting a flesh-and-blood lotus platform connected to the body, which under a series of eerie chants, gradually gained a golden hue and transformed into a golden, bodhisattva-like figure.
It was the Bodhisattva of Flesh and Blood, the Jealousy Heaven Venerable—Big Black Buddha Mother!
“It’s done!”
“The Bodhisattva of Flesh and Blood, the Big Black Buddha Mother!”
Seeing this scene, everyone in the broadcast room was also struck, and except for a few cultivators, the rest were dumbfounded.
Is this the Big Black Buddha Mother?
Even separated by a screen, they were still greatly impacted, and before that indistinguishable figure of Buddha or demon, the Bodhisattva of Flesh and Blood, everyone’s thoughts seemed to freeze, as if sinking into an abyss, unable to extricate themselves.
Just then…
“Big Dipper Pivot, Guiding by the Seven Stars—come!!!”
A stern shout, the sword pointed at Big Dipper, the Seven Star Command Banners fluttered, and talismans soared into the sky.
Suddenly…
“Boom!!!”
Deathly clouds collided, lightning split the heavens, and thunder struck down from the sky, forcefully imbuing the earth, all converging onto the body of the Taoist Man.
In an instant, his Taoist robe billowed, the thunder roared menacingly, and behind the mana altar and the incense table, a figure wielding a sword stood upright, like a thunder god descended, his authority pressing over the mortal world.
