Chapter 1264 The Might of the Black Wok

The fact that Ancient Buddha Son was at the fourth longevity tribulation King stage had long been detected by the top figures in the area.

Moreover, he came from the Earth Treasury Temple, carrying its supreme inheritances and secret treasures, so his battle prowess was definitely not below that of Underworld Son and maybe was even stronger!

At this moment, he was putting his all into capturing Ji Xingyao as a hostage, so it was naturally impossible for him to show any mercy.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that in normal times, not to mention Ji Xingyao, even some of the top-class figures present wouldn’t be able to block Ancient Buddha Son’s determined strike.

But a bizarre scene happened. Halfway through his strike, invisible runes of Law Power suddenly emerged and crisscrossed, binding him up from head to toe.

And then, they violently pressed down!

With a heavy thud, the mysterious ancient-era genius of the Earth Treasury Temple was pressed tightly against the ground!

The audience gasped as their hearts trembled in shock.

This was the power of the formation, so unbelievably powerful that as long as Lin Xun wished so, a single thought of him would be able to wipe out everyone in this isolated world.

He was the supreme lord who decided their life and death!

Ji Xingyao was frightened by the false alarm, and then her eyes surged with fury. “This is the heir to the Earth Treasury Temple? Someone so shameless and underhanded?!”

Many people inwardly agreed.

Ancient Buddha Son had always been known for his mysteriousness and inability to figure out his whereabouts, leaving very little impression on the world.

However, when he had first shown himself to the public four years ago, he had severely thwarted Lin Xun with an elaborate plan and caused him to be trapped under the Underworld River.

Such a calculative mind and ruthlessness had made everyone very apprehensive of him.

Today, he had reappeared and once again taken advantage of Lin Xun’s situation to sneak attack him. Furthermore, he had even used everything he had to set up a large array and trap Lin Xun.

It could be said that his plan was impeccable and well executed.

But Lin Xun was on the next level, having set up an even more terrifying formation to break down all of Ancient Buddha Son’s tactics.

If this stopped here, then everyone wouldn’t have developed a bad impression of Ancient Buddha Son.

It had been when he had made a move with the intention to take Ji Xingyao hostage that sent chills down the spine of many cultivators.

Was this still someone who practiced Buddhism?

He was so cruel in his methods, acted without scruples, and resorted to any means possible; there was no difference between him and the devils and heretics that he wanted to cleanse!

“Heretic, you deserve death!” Ancient Buddha Son was surrounded by raging Buddha light as if he had turned into an angry Arhat. He shattered the rune strings binding him with a roar and flew up high, then pounced down upon Lin Xun with the black bowl in his hands.

Even though he was deep in a dangerous situation, he remained calm and collected without showing any panic on his expression.

Boom!

The black bowl floated up, spilling out thousands of Buddhist streaks that converged into a gigantic Buddha’s hand. Each knuckle was like a heavenly pillar, radiating immeasurable glow.

It was the visual presentation of what they call a sky-blotting hand!

This was an extremely famous and powerful Dao technique called Earth Treasury Buddha Hand!

Facing this, Lin Xun looked indifferent. With a thought in his mind, a long and crystalline divine chain whip condensed from Law Power and swung down.

With a bang, the whip whipped the sky-blotting hand into the rain of light.

Another crisp bang resounded, and a bloody whip wound appeared on the handsome face of Ancient Buddha Son, so deep that one could see to the bone.

He fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

At this point, everyone could see no matter how powerful one was, they would still be nothing but a fish on Lin Xun’s chopping board as long as they were trapped in his formation!

“Do you dare to remove this formation and fight with this monk fair and square?” said Ancient Buddha Son in a gloomy voice. His face was bleeding profusely, but he didn’t pay any attention to it and was looking terrifyingly calm.

Shameless!

Many people cursed and despised him in their hearts. When Ancient Buddha Son had used the Earth Treasury Great Transcension Forbidden Array on Lin Xun, had he ever given him a chance to fight a fair battle?

And yet, he was able to make such a despicable demand without blushing or batting an eyelash. The thickness of his skin was certainly mind-boggling.

Even Lin Xun was dumbfounded. He could not believe that this would be something uttered by the Buddha’s Son of the Earth Treasury Temple. Truly..shameless!

Bang!

The long whip of Law Power once again lashed out and quickly left dozens of bone-deep wounds all over Ancient Buddha Son. The sight was shockingly bloody.

“You think that by humiliating me like this, you can make me bow to you?” Ancient Buddha Son’s voice was chilling. He seemed oblivious to the fact that he was drenched in blood and still maintained a dignified demeanor.

“No, I never wanted to make you bow down. I just want to kill you slowly,” replied Lin Xun calmly.

As he spoke, a dense patch of sharp blades condensed from Law Power emerged in the air before dropping down like a raging storm.

Poof poof poof!

Although Ancient Buddha Son tried his best to dodge, he was still cut to the point where he looked mangled and his face was completely disfigured. It was so tragic and miserable that many cultivators shuddered.

Lin Xun was undoubtedly being true to his words. He was indeed torturing Ancient Buddha Son to death!

“This monk admits that he has underestimated you. However, you will never see me make a joke of myself and beg for mercy.”

Ancient Buddha Son’s expression was aloof. He seemed to have realized that it was futile to keep struggling in this isolated world and had sat on the ground cross-legged, with a posture of calmly waiting for his death.

This action earned respected gazes from many people. While Ancient Buddha Son was black-hearted, he had a mind of steel.

Many cultivators would have gone out of control and started screaming if they were to be in his shoes, but he did not!

“Ridiculous! Do you think that you aren’t already a joke right now?” Yue Jianming couldn’t help but speak out.

Ancient Buddha Son casted him a glance, then turned away and ignored him completely.

Yue Jianming was furious and just wanted to cleave the baldy in half!

Just at this moment, Lin Xun said with a faint smile, “I heard that there is a punishment in the Earth Treasury Temple called the Eighteen Levels of Hell and that once this punishment is administered, even gods and demons will submit in despair. I wonder if this is true.”

Eighteen Levels of Hell?

The onlookers were confused as this was the first time they had heard of this.

Meanwhile, the face of Ancient Buddha Son changed slightly, and an inexplicable chill rose in his heart. This was a secret punishment of the Earth Treasury Temple specially used for dealing with traitors.

It was too cruel and bloody and would damage the reputation of the Earth Treasury Temple if the world knew about it. Therefore, it was only known to the important personnel of the temple.

But Lin Xun clearly also knew about this punishment!

Whoosh~

A strand of black Buddhist fire swept out from the snap of Lin Xun’s fingers and entered Ancient Buddha Son like a bolt.

“What are you trying to do, heretic!?” Ancient Buddha Son’s pupils constricted as he stiffened up before immediately trying to get up and resist. However, he was deadlocked on the spot by layers of oppressive Law Power, unable to move at all.

“The first level of the Eighteen Levels of Hell is called the Tongue Pulling Hell, where the sinner’s tongue will be stretched long with a secret technique, and then slowly yanked out and burned with Buddhist fire until it is charred but not rotten, and that was when it will be cut into thin slices with a fine sharp blade..”

Lin Xun’s tone was deadpan, but the content was like an icy stream that sent chills down everyone’s spine and drained all colors from their faces.

What a perverted punishment!

“AHHHHHH!”

Ancient Buddha Son let out a wretched scream as he convulsed and his face twisted violently.

Everyone could see his tongue being pulled out inch by inch with black Buddhist fire burning on it. Gradually, the entire tongue became charred.

He was really suffering the torture of the Tongue Pulling Hell!

Several cultivators couldn’t bear to watch on.

Ancient Buddha Son, the heir to the Earth Treasury Temple and a notorious character in the Upper Nine Realms, was suffering a brutal torture in front of so many witnesses.

Who could still remain calm upon this scene?

And the fact that Lin Xun dared to act in such a manner also horrified many people, making them realize that his title of Demon God Lin wasn’t for nothing.

“Heretic! This monk shall remember what you did today and repay it in the future!”

Ancient Buddha Son suddenly regained his composure and cut off the six senses so that the aching pain on his tongue could no longer affect his mind.

Lin Xun smiled indifferently. The Eighteen Levels of Hell weren’t this easy to resist, so it was useless to cut off the six senses!

“Hand him to me!”

A voice suddenly resounded when Lin Xun was about to continue. Looking over, it was a big black bird quickly gliding across the sky.historical

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes when he saw that the bird was able to freely enter and exit his formation like it didn’t exist!

On the other hand, he heaved a sigh of relief. He had really been worried that this shameless bird had been harmed by Ancient Buddha Son.

As soon as the big black bird arrived, it swung its black wok at Ancient Buddha Son’s head.

The ever composed Ancient Buddha Son, at this moment, actually revealed a rare hint of panic on his face and said indignantly, “Little Uncle, you want to help an outsider deal with me?”

“F*ck you! As if you’ve ever regarded me as your Little Uncle!” The big black bird’s voice was filled with hatred as it repeatedly smashed the black wok down once again.

After a series of clanging, Ancient Buddha Son’s head had swelled up with a dense patch of large bumps. He had screamed miserably the entire time, as if suffering from immense pain.

The distant crowd was dumbfounded, first by the appearance of the big black bird and then by how Ancient Buddha Son had respectfully called this bird ‘Little Uncle!’

This was completely beyond imagination.

At the end of it all, Ancient Buddha Son was completely smashed to the ground, constantly twitching like he was having a seizure. He couldn’t look more miserable as he foamed at the mouth, and his head was packed with red bumps.

Previously, he had been a holy figure like a true Buddha that had descended with unrivaled elegance. Even when he had been suppressed by Lin Xun, he had kept his composure and showed no fear of death.

But now, he looked so wretched that the onlookers could feel his pain.

Clang!

After another earth-shattering bang, Ancient Buddha Son was smashed unconscious by the black wok.

The audience let out a collective gasp. Tragic! Too tragic! The hallowed Ancient Buddha Son was actually smashed unconscious by a wok! If this gets out, he’d be the butt of every joke!

“Suppress!”

With the black bird’s resounding shout, the black wok suddenly buzzed and emitted a strange fluctuations, then swallowed Ancient Buddha Son without leaving a trace

“You want to save him?” Lin Xun frowned.

The big black bird had a complicated look on its face as it transmitted, “That was just a clone of Ancient Buddha Son. His original body hasn’t appeared at all in the past several years!”

Lin Xun’s eyes shrunk. A clone with the power of the fourth longevity tribulation King stage?

Then just how strong is the original?

For a while, waves of emotions washed over Lin Xun’s heart as he found the information quite surprising and hard to believe!
