Moreover, his Spirit Platform has already dried up, and the Primordial Spirit is no more.
"Amitabha!" An aged monk from afar chanted the sacred name: "This benefactor just now truly spoke nonsense! Master Xuan Kong is enveloped in the light of the Buddhist Path, without a trace of heavenly punishment, when has he ever disturbed the Cause and Effect Plate?"
"Precisely!" another aged monk said, "In the worldly realm, one might speak freely, but within the Buddhist domain, please do not utter false words."
Huo Gang’s heart slightly trembled.
What he was focused on was whether the person in the barrel was truly Xuan Kong, and whether Xuan Kong was truly dead or not.
But these high monks of the Buddhist path had a different focus; they were concerned about Lin Xiaosu’s words earlier, claiming Xuan Kong had meddled with the Cause and Effect Plate and suffered heavenly punishment.
If this were true, traces of heavenly retribution would surely be left upon this Dharma Body.
Monks of their caliber could definitely discern it.
However, upon Xuan Kong’s body, there were no such traces.
Huo Gang, being a knowledgeable person, also felt a lingering doubt.
Could it be that Lin Xiaosu’s judgement of Cause and Effect Mistake that day was wrong?
Otherwise, why did Master Xuan Kong’s passing leave no trace of heavenly punishment?
This young man, every step he has taken thus far has been so precise, but has he dug himself a deep pit today? Instead of fleeing Tunyun Temple, he found a rope to tighten around his own neck?
"Brilliant! Truly brilliant!" Lin Xiaosu exhaled deeply.
Huo Gang’s gaze fiercely fixed onto his face.
Lin Xiaosu said, "To activate the Cause and Effect Plate, originally there were only two solutions: the Heavenly Buddha Repair Method and the Demon Path Deceit Heaven Skill. However, Master Xuan Kong, as a distinguished expert in studying the Law of Cause and Effect, has presented a third solution. Does the Great Commander know what this third solution entails?"
Huo Gang slowly shook his head.
"The third solution is called: Slaying of the Three Corpses!"
"Slaying of the Three Corpses?" Huo Gang’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
The faces of everyone present changed collectively.
This transformation was not identical; some monks from afar showed sheer astonishment.
Whereas the high monks within Tunyun Temple appeared panicked.
Lin Xiaosu firmly locked his gaze on the red-clothed monk: "This Buddha Corpse was slain, left in the Buddhist Hall to shine with Buddhist light to affirm its name. The Demon Corpse suffered heavenly punishment, erasing his chess game of cause and effect. Then, what is the remaining corpse? Could I call it an Evil Corpse?"
As his voice fell, Lin Xiaosu suddenly drew his sword!
With one stroke, he cleaved a large hole in the Buddhist Hall behind him!
Within the large hole, there was yet another Buddhist Hall.
This Buddhist Hall was also dark, resembling the external one in every way, yet the feeling it gave was starkly different.
The outside Buddhist Hall radiated the glory of the Buddhist Path.
Whereas within, the Buddhist Hall was eerie like Hell.
Within the hall, an old monk sat atop a black lotus, his gaze suddenly flaring open, two black Bodhi pearls within his eyes.
When his face landed upon Huo Gang’s eyes, Huo Gang’s heart was greatly shaken: "Xuan Kong!"
Among the countless high monks present, many had cultivated the Buddhist Heavenly Eye, one monk from Da Chu Country focused intently, unraveling Xuan Kong’s identity, his eyes filled with shock. Updates are released by noᴠelfire.net
The black lotus beneath Xuan Kong suddenly flipped, his surrounding zone suddenly transformed into boundless Hell, countless dark streams roiling, dragging him straight into the bottomless Abyss.
"Trying to escape?" Huo Gang took a step forward, and the dark streams shattered, the black Lotus Platform was pinned in the void by his foot.
Beneath him, myriad golden lights dispersed the Eternal Hell.
If Xuan Kong was the evil monk of Hell, then at this moment, Huo Gang was the Heavenly God!
Xuan Kong’s entire being suddenly trembled, his body exploded in midair, releasing a Primordial Spirit that, amid chaos, slipped like a fish into the Abyss.
This was his last method of escape, sacrificing his physical body while preserving the Primordial Spirit.
With his cultivation already within the Realm of Dao Mastery, the power of self-detonating the physical body was akin to a nuclear bomb, forcibly blasting chaotic currents within the Divine Demon Domain of the Great Commander, allowing the Primordial Spirit to seize this opportunity for escape, truly giving him a chance to survive.
However, at this very moment, Lin Xiaosu suddenly raised his finger.
A spatial rift appeared out of thin air in the path of the Primordial Spirit’s progress.
With the emergence of the spatial rift, the Primordial Spirit was greatly shocked, his body flashed with white light, and the spatial rift was directly smoothed out.
