Zakun could feel the intensity of the battle in front of him. His skinny face was ashen. Buddhist monks were usually calm, but once they were angry, they would turn into angry vajras!
Zakun's torso floated into the air and rushed into the horde of beasts. His entire body turned into a tornado of flesh and blood. An invisible force field rapidly spun and squeezed, tearing countless beasts into a rain of blood.
Bao 'er's body trembled slightly. She couldn't tell if it was from excitement or fear. She looked back at Luo Kai's indifferent face. This kind of bloody battle was bound to cause one's emotions to change, but this guy was still like a block of ice. He didn't look like a human at all.
"Hey, why aren't you attacking?"
Luo Kai's eyes were half-closed. He said indifferently, "They are them, and I am me. What does life and death have to do with me?"
Bao 'er was furious. She snorted heavily and looked around. She found a high ground and crawled into the snow. She aimed at the horde of beasts and pulled the trigger.
In fact, compared to other people, Luo Kai was more sensitive to the intense fighting on the battlefield. He saw the familiar evil energy in the sky again. It was the spiritual energy of the dead after they died. It was filled with endless hatred and resentment.
He sighed secretly. His body now only had water, wood, and earth elements circulating in it. Elemental energy represented order. It belonged to the clean energy of heaven and earth. He didn't want to get too close to the violent evil energy.
He cut off the impulse to use the evil energy for himself. He opened his eyes and looked around. Inside was a bone cane. Spiritual energy was omnipotent, but it consumed a lot of energy. Once it was used up, he wouldn't be able to fight anymore. It was better to rely on his body. He should be able to deal with low-level beasts.
There were all kinds of beasts on the ground. Some looked like large lizards, while others looked like deer with scales. The stronger ones were already mature, while the weaker ones were still growing.
He found a place with relatively fewer beasts and rushed over. At the same time, he used his spiritual energy to increase his speed. "Rip!"
The sound of air being torn apart could be heard as his body broke through the speed of sound. The distance of several thousand meters was covered in an instant at this speed. The bone staff in his hand carried an unstoppable force as he charged into the group of beasts.
When he was faced with a group of beasts, he knew that things were not going well. Although he smashed the body of a deer-like Ferocious Beast in front of him, his own arm was also broken.
A newborn body simply couldn't withstand such a tyrannical burst of power. It really was like a crystal. Although it was magnificent, it was also extremely fragile.
With a flick of his arm, the broken bones were immediately healed. He continued to weave through the crowd of beasts, but he no longer took the initiative to attack. Instead, he looked for opportunities to climb the mountain.
The battlefield was getting more and more intense. The terrain of the Great Snow Mountain was steep, with sharp cliffs on both sides. The only front was rugged and difficult to traverse. It was precisely because of this terrain that they were able to resist the attack of the Great Beast Army.
Three of the four Wisdom Kings from the Heavenly Thunder Palace appeared. Every one of them was able to fight against the full-form Ferocious Beasts, but it was difficult to kill them. This was the difference between species. The size of the Ferocious Beasts, their sharp fangs and claws, their powerful reflexes, and even their everything was born for battle. On the other hand, the direction of evolution for humans was intelligence. Although they had developed powerful physical arts, it was still difficult to reverse the difference between the two sides.
The beast horde was endless. Under the lead of two full-form Ferocious Beasts, they attacked from both the ground and the sky. There was a limit to human strength. The Heavenly Thunder Palace was gradually unable to stop the attacks of the beast horde. The beast horde began to spread upwards, and their target was the stone hall at the waist of the mountain.
The Heavenly Thunder Palace emphasized asceticism, so they didn't have any grand buildings. This stone hall was the only place where countless Buddhist scriptures were stored. It was the crystallization of the wisdom of generations of Buddhist practitioners after the Great Calamity. If these things were destroyed by the Ferocious Beasts, then the inheritance would also be severed.
Luo Kai restrained his aura, and laid on the back of a Ferocious Boar like a feather. He carefully observed the penguin-like Ferocious Beast in the sky. The ability of this Ferocious Beast was very similar to the Insect Queen he encountered before. They both had the ability to shift space. If it focused on defense, perhaps there wouldn't be any way to injure it. He also didn't know if his Blade of Severance would be able to break through it.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt like he was being watched. It was as if he was being roasted, and as if there was a prickling sensation on his back. He raised his head and looked at the Snow Mountain not far away. After thinking for a moment, he directly shut off all his senses, and returned his body and mind to his own little universe, sliding down the Ferocious Boar's belly.
On the Snow Mountain, a group of three people stood. The one in the middle was a man with a majestic figure. His skin was sparkling and translucent, flickering with a dazzling luster. His appearance was extraordinarily handsome. His eyes were like two small suns, incomparably dazzling, making it impossible for people to look straight at them.
The man closed his eyes and slowly said, "Strange, I actually can't sense him anymore?"
Behind him stood two monks, one tall and one short. The tall monk picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth. He let out a voice that sounded like both a man and a woman, "Master, who are you talking about?"
The man said in a low voice, "A strange young man. The energies of three elements are constantly circulating around his body. His mental strength is also unconstrained, hard to predict. I have never seen someone like him in my life. I didn't expect the Sky Thunder Palace to have such a disciple!" His words carried a great appreciation for talent.
After a while, seeing that the Ferocious Beasts were about to attack the stone hall, the short monk said respectfully, "Master, should we go and help? It seems like the Sky Thunder Palace can't hold on much longer."
The man said indifferently, "The Sky Thunder Palace has a deep foundation. They have been established for much longer than our Longyang Temple. They won't be defeated so easily."
"Master, if you ask me, there's no need to wait at all. With your status, you can just go and ask for it directly. I don't think those stinky Lamas will dare to not give it to you. If you really can't do it, just help them repel the Ferocious Beasts. They'll be grateful and obediently hand over the Thunderstrike Seed."
The man shook his head indifferently, "The Thunderstrike Seed is something passed down by the Sky Thunder Palace's Ancestor Nirvana. They won't give it to us. The Ferocious Beasts are coming with great momentum. If I help, I'll need at least several years to recover from the damage to my body."
… …
This man was one of the three Saints of the human race, the Dragon Saint of the Longyang Temple. His Buddhist name was Ling Hong, and he was the youngest of the three Saints.
The state of a Saint's life was already different from that of a human. Life was about movement, while a Saint's life was about stillness. Like rocks and metals, once the internal molecules moved too intensely, the structure would become loose. Furthermore, they had a deeper understanding of the web of karma. Everything was within this web, and only by following the "Way of Inaction" could they avoid touching this web.
In this world, there weren't many things that a Saint would pay attention to. They didn't even care about the Bodhi Sarira. However, the Thunderstrike Seed was a Buddhist sacred weapon that was extremely masculine and Yang. It was very possible to comprehend different laws of power from it.
The Sky Thunder Palace was different from the Longyang Temple. Although they were both Buddhists, the essence they respected was different. The Sky Thunder Palace pursued personal liberation and focused on seclusion from the world.
The Longyang Temple not only pursued personal liberation, but also helped others to achieve liberation. Therefore, they took in disciples and traveled the world. They were extremely powerful.
The two had very different philosophies of cultivation, and they rarely interacted with each other. Until the Saint of the Sky Thunder Palace fell and it was difficult to restrain their disciples, the Kasyapa Sect, which hoped to enter the world, quickly developed and strengthened. Their philosophies of cultivation began to move closer to the Longyang Temple. Naturally, the Longyang Temple also had the intention of annexing them.
