Chapter 574 Karmic Fire? Burning Away Sins?
Chapter 574 Karmic Fire? Burning Away Sins?
Taishang's mind raced, countless thoughts flashing through his mind, but in the end, they all turned into a helpless sigh.
Chen Changsheng is indeed the biggest variable in the primordial world.
On the other side, the expression on Yuanshi Tianzun's face was no longer just unpleasant; it was a distorted expression mixed with jealousy, anger, and a trace of fear.
He stared intently at Chen Changsheng, holding the broken Eastern Emperor Bell in one hand and the broken God-Slaying Spear in the other.
What kind of weird configuration is this?
A supreme innate treasure, plus the number one killing treasure of the primordial world—even if both are incomplete, this combination is still too heaven-defying.
His Chan Sect, as the orthodox sect of Xuanmen, possessed the Pangu Banner, a treasure that protected the sect, which was nothing more than a primordial treasure.
His most prized disciple's best magic weapon was the acquired treasure, the Fantian Seal.
But what about Chen Changsheng?
How could a wild boy of unknown origin obtain such an extraordinary opportunity?
Yuanshi Tianzun roared in his heart, feeling that the laws of the Three Realms had become unfair at this moment.
He preaches about roots and emphasizes good fortune, but in the end, he's not as practical as this kid who digs holes and shovels everywhere.
The Tongtian Sect Leader, on the other hand, presented a completely different picture.
He was stunned for a moment, then burst into a deafening laugh, laughing so hard he almost cried.
"Hahaha! Good! Great!"
Of course he remembered the origin of this spear; it was something Changsheng had dug out from the futon under his buttocks.
He felt a pang of heartache at the time, after all, it was a god-slaying spear, and although it was broken, it was still a supreme treasure.
Now it seems that giving this treasure to Changsheng was the right decision!
That really made him proud!
Seeing his second brother's expression of having swallowed a fly, the Tongtian Sect Leader felt a surge of satisfaction.
With this God-Slaying Spear in hand, who will dare to say that the disciples of the Jie Sect only bully others by relying on their numbers?
He was the most formidable disciple of the Jie Sect in one-on-one combat!
The atmosphere at the seats of the two Western Saints was extremely oppressive.
The guide closed his eyes, too lazy to even chant the Buddha's name. His face was full of bitterness, as if another immovable mountain had been added to the road to the great prosperity of the West.
Zhunti Daoist gritted his teeth, staring at the God-Slaying Spear in Chen Changsheng's hand, his eyes brimming with greed and dread.
He felt a wave of fear wash over him.
Thank goodness I didn't listen to myself and personally deal with this kid.
If he were to be stabbed by the God-Slaying Spear, his Saintly Dao Fruit would likely shatter on the spot, and it would take several eons to repair.
The sage Nuwa looked at the spear with a complex expression.
As for the Eastern Emperor Bell, it's fine, since it belongs to the demon race and she has a karmic connection with it.
This God-Slaying Spear is a key item in the struggle between the Dao and the Demonic Path, representing destruction and slaughter.
The appearance of this thing is likely a sign that another bloody storm is about to break out in the primordial world.
And all of this points to the young man wielding the demonic gun.
The saints may have different thoughts, but they all share a consensus.
That is, although this spear is fierce, it is, after all, broken and its essence is greatly damaged, so it does not pose a fatal threat to them saints.
But against anyone below the level of a sage, that is an unstoppable weapon!
At this moment, the one who could best appreciate the terror of this spear was none other than Ancestor Burning Lamp.
Standing opposite Chen Changsheng, he felt as if his primordial spirit was being pierced by countless steel needles. The pure killing intent ignored all his defenses and rushed straight to the source of his soul.
He felt as if he had fallen into the deepest hell, surrounded by the roars of billions of demons and illusions of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
At this moment, his Dao heart showed signs of collapse.
"No!"
The Old Ancestor of Burning Lamp suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, and the intense pain instantly brought him to his senses.
He looked at Chen Changsheng, and for the first time, genuine fear appeared in his eyes.
What kind of monster is this kid?!
How could he have a killer gun?
Holding the God-Slaying Spear, Chen Changsheng felt a chilling killing intent surge through his arm and into his entire body. However, he cultivated the Great Dao-level Thunder Technique, which was extremely powerful and yang, perfectly countering this demonic energy.
Not only was he not affected, but he also felt that his understanding of the Dao of Slaughter had deepened.
He looked at the pale-faced lamp and sneered inwardly.
Old man, are you scared now?
late!
If I don't beat you into a psychological state today, I'll be doing a disservice to all this gear.
"Vice Leader, shall we continue?"
Chen Changsheng's voice was calm, but to Randeng's ears, it sounded like a death knell.
The expression on the face of the Old Ancestor of Burning Lamp changed repeatedly.
Admit defeat?
If he admits defeat now, he will completely lose face as the vice leader of the Chan Sect, and Yuanshi Tianzun will definitely not let him off the hook.
If we don't admit defeat, what will we use to fight?
Would you dare to headbutt that spear that could wound a saint?
Dipankara's gaze swept over the Yuanshi Tianzun, who sat high on his holy throne, and he saw those extremely cold eyes.
He knew he had no choice.
Today, he must fight on, even if it costs him his life, to defend the last vestige of dignity of the Chan Sect.
"Don't be so smug!"
Ancestor Burning Lamp roared, a hint of determination and madness flashing in his eyes.
He slapped the top of his head, and the coffin lamp that had been hovering beside him instantly shone brightly.
This time, it's not ghostly flames.
A deeper, more eerie black flame slowly emerged from the wick.
The flame was only the size of a bean, yet it seemed like a black hole connecting to the deepest hell, dragging all things in the world into eternal damnation.
"Burning in the flames of karma, there will be no redemption!"
With a roar, the Old Ancestor of Burning Lamp unleashed his last trump card.
That black flame is called "Red Lotus Karmic Fire".
It is not a spiritual fire of heaven and earth, but is formed from the sins and karma of living beings. It can burn anything, but it burns only luck and the primordial spirit.
This was the trump card of the Burning Lamp, a wisp of primordial flame that he had painstakingly extracted from the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus of the Styx Ancestor.
Once tainted, no matter how powerful your magic is or how immortal your body is, you will be burned to ashes from the inside out by this karmic fire, and even your true spirit will be unable to escape into reincarnation.
When this karmic fire appeared, even the expressions of several saints changed slightly.
This lamp-lighter is truly giving it his all.
Old Ancestor Styx peeked out from the corner, staring intently at the black flame, cursing Randeng in his heart.
You bastard, you actually stole my karmic fire!
Haotian sat on the imperial throne, his heart pounding in his chest.
He could sense the terror of that flame; it was an attack that directly affected the causal level, making it impossible to defend against.
This time, Changsheng is probably really in danger.
As the black flame drifted toward Chen Changsheng, the Old Ancestor of Burning Lamp revealed a ferocious smile on his aged face.
Chen Changsheng, so what if you have a powerful physical body? So what if you have the Eastern Emperor Bell? So what if you have the God-Slaying Spear?
As long as you are in the primordial world, you will inevitably be tainted by karma. As long as you have sins, you cannot escape the burning of my Red Lotus Karmic Fire!
He could almost see Chen Changsheng howling in agony amidst the karmic flames, ultimately turning to ashes.
However, Chen Changsheng looked at the black flame that was slowly drifting over, but his face did not show any panic. Instead, he revealed a strange expression.
Karmic fire? Burning away sins?
What a joke.
Lao Tzu is a celestial deity who enforces the laws of heaven and oversees the three realms.
I came here to eliminate sin, and you are using the fire of sin to burn me?
Isn't this just delivering lighters to the fire department?
Not to mention, I also have the Eye of Heavenly Punishment!
"Eye of Divine Punishment, open!"
Chen Changsheng mentally uttered a low shout.
A vertical eye suddenly opened between his eyebrows.
It was a golden eye filled with endless majesty, and deep within it, purple lightning intertwined, as if containing the laws of punishment of the entire world.
As soon as the Eye of Heavenly Punishment appeared, the originally menacing red lotus karmic fire trembled violently, as if it had encountered a natural enemy and dared not advance even an inch further.
"What... what kind of supernatural power is this?"
