Chapter 525: Chapter 296: An Ever-Strengthening Body and Spirit

As he recited a spell, a bright golden light surged from his back.

Nine dragon roars exploded in the sky.

Nine golden dragons, with their mane flying and claws flashing, flew out from his back.

At the same time, Tuo Ta Arhat opened his mouth, spewing out a golden light which transformed into a giant tower, pressing down upon Su Que.

Although the red cassock was formidable, Su Que had just severely injured the Subduing Dragon Arhat, so the mana infused in the red cassock was insufficient.

This artifact could only exert 40% of its usual power.

Su Que used his lung viscera’s strength to perform the Seven Injuries Fist.

A warm flow passed through his lungs.

The lungs belong to metal; as Su Que struck a punch against the descending red cassock, a sword gang over twelve zhang, entwined with thick demonic qi, burst forth from his fist.

With a swish, it split the overwhelming red cassock into two halves.

Next, the nine golden dragons and the giant tower pressed down upon Su Que.

Su Que continued to perform the Seven Injuries Fist, launching countless fist shadows.

With a single punch shadow, ten fireballs erupted into the sky.

With another punch shadow, giant fists formed from mudstone on the ground, striking forward...

The fist shadows unceasingly formed, gathering the power of the Five Elements between heaven and earth, attacking the nine golden dragons and the giant tower!

The next moment, the nine golden dragons and the giant tower collided with the five elements’ power drawn by Su Que’s Seven Injuries Fist in mid-air.

Su Que unleashed punches again and again.

Fireballs, mudstone giant fists, wooden giant fists, pitch-black sword gangs in the air... Once consumed, more appeared, accumulating more and more, pressing down upon the nine golden dragons and the giant tower.

Soon enough, they engulfed the nine golden dragons and the giant tower.

As Su Que continuously swung his fists, a warm flow surged through his Five Viscera, nourishing his organs.

Boom, boom, boom...

The nine golden dragons could no longer withstand the Seven Injuries Fist Intent guided by the power of the Five Elements, and in muffled explosions, they dispersed.

With no obstacles, Su Que’s Fist Intent immediately penetrated into the body of the Subduing Dragon Arhat.

Inside the Subduing Dragon Arhat’s body emerged the five elements’ killing power of flames, wooden spikes, sword gangs, profound water, and mudstone, rampaging like a torrent.

The next moment, except for the heart, the other organs of the Subduing Dragon Arhat were utterly destroyed by the power of the Five Elements.

Fragments of organs, mixed with gold-glowing blood, shot out from his seven orifices.

With a "plop," the Subduing Dragon Arhat’s body softened, kneeling powerlessly.

The Buddha’s Light on him dimmed down.

Next, the giant tower of Tuo Ta Arhat bore the full Fist Power of Su Que.

Tuo Ta Arhat’s cultivation was merely akin to Subduing Tiger Arhat, at the Twelfth-Layer of the Realm of Merging.

Subduing Tiger Arhat was no match for Su Que, and now with Su Que’s improved mastery of the Seven Injuries Fist, Tuo Ta Arhat was even less of a rival.

Previously, the nine golden dragons of Subduing Dragon Arhat shared the pressure for him.

He had to swell the muscles of his arms, veins bulging, and pour all his power in just to barely maintain the integrity of his giant tower.

But now, as the nine giant dragons shattered, the pressure on Tuo Ta Arhat instantly surged.

In just a moment, with Su Que’s Fist Intent pounding, cracks appeared on his Giant Tower Treasure.

The cracks spread across the entire tower, and soon with a snap, the tower suddenly shattered.

Seeing his giant tower broken and the Subduing Dragon Arhat beaten to kneel, Tuo Ta Arhat’s nine-foot-tall sturdy body trembled.

Panic-stricken, he attempted to flee, forcefully pushing off with his foot, his body soaring skyward, aiming to return to the Upper Realm.

Upon seeing this, Su Que immediately launched a punch at the escaping Tuo Ta Arhat!

Tuo Ta Arhat lacked the Protective Dragon Power of the Subduing Dragon Arhat, and as Su Que’s punch struck, his entire being came to a standstill midair, with thick, gold-lit blood spewing out from his seven orifices.

Then, his entire body lost all support, falling back to the ground.

At this moment, Su Que performed the Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique, separating two Affiliated Demon Seeds from his Lifebound Demon Seed, shooting them into the Dantian of Subduing Dragon Arhat and Tuo Ta Arhat.

The next moment, the Affiliated Demon Seeds respectively entered the Dantian of the two Arhats, connecting with their Essence Qi and Spirit.

Plop!

Tuo Ta Arhat fell to the ground, his nine-foot-tall body curling into a ball.

Though gravely injured, Subduing Dragon Arhat and Tuo Ta Arhat remained conscious.

They were unable to resist, helplessly watching as their Essence Qi and Spirit connected to an unknown purple light mass.

"The Bodhisattva won’t spare you..."

Subduing Dragon Arhat, his face ashen, stared at Su Que and said.

Once the Affiliated Demon Seeds connected with their Essence Qi and Spirit, Su Que immediately used Telepathy, obtaining their memories.

Because of their serious injuries, Subduing Dragon Arhat and Tuo Ta Arhat couldn’t use Telepathy to obtain Su Que’s memories in return.

After gaining the memories, Su Que at once drew on the Affiliated Demon Seeds inside their Dantian!

The Affiliated Demon Seeds shone with a purple light, seizing the Arhats’ Essence Qi and Spirit, flying out from the Dantian.

Subduing Dragon Arhat and Tuo Ta Arhat’s muscles rapidly withered, their skin losing color swiftly.

Tuo Ta Arhat’s nine-foot-tall robust body shrank noticeably in the blink of an eye.

Su Que absorbed the two Affiliated Demon Seeds containing the Arhats’ Essence Qi and Spirit into his own Dantian.

Under the manipulation of his mind, he integrated them into his Lifebound Demon Seed.

Immediately, Su Que felt two streams of power rushing into his body like a flood.

He had a thought and summoned his Attributes.

He saw the number in the remaining lifespan section skyrocketing.

In less than a cup of tea’s time, the two Affiliated Demon Seeds completely integrated into his Lifebound Demon Seed.

He checked his Attributes.

Name: Su Que (21 years old)

Remaining Lifespan: 7889

After robbing these two Arhats of their lifespans, his lifespan increased by about eight hundred years.

He felt streams of new power surging within his muscles.

Meanwhile, the spirit between his eyebrows grew increasingly stronger.

’Perhaps though I’ve just entered the Realm of Merging, my physical body and spirit can already rival the Tenth-Layer of the Realm of Merging.’

’Plus, with my exceedingly strong Martial Arts Mastery and the Cultivation Acceleration Skill to double my Power.’

’Hence, my actual strength far surpasses this.’

He can simultaneously kill both the Subduing Dragon Arhat of the Fifteenth-Layer of the Realm of Merging and the Twelfth-Layer Tuo Ta Arhat, proving his might.

After pondering for a while, Su Que waved a hand, releasing two streams of Myriad Poison True Qi, encircling the bodies of the Subduing Dragon Arhat and Tuo Ta Arhat.

After a while, he withdrew the Myriad Poison True Qi, and the two dried-up, pale Arhat corpses on the ground disappeared entirely.

After killing the two Arhats, Su Que began contemplating his future plans.

Now, having killed three Arhats, Spirit Mountain might send even stronger individuals to the Lower Realm.

It could be a Bodhisattva.

Going through the matters of these three Arhats, he realized that hiding in the Lower Realm was extremely difficult.

This is because Buddhist Sect deities possess Telepathy, allowing them to search through the minds of each civilian.

Even if he hides, Su Jing cannot hide.

As long as the Buddhist Sect deity gets a hold of Su Jing’s memory, though unable to confirm him as the mysterious person who killed four Arhats, they would become suspicious.

Moreover, in the Upper Realm, some deities are reborn and cultivate again for better physical bodies and spirits.

Therefore, should the deities of the Buddhist Sect in the Upper Realm see him so young yet possessing such Power, they might suspect he is a reincarnated deity rather than someone who has cultivated for many years to achieve such strength in this Small World.

’It seems I must shatter the void, break through the Buddhist Barrier, and reach the Upper Realm.’

A thought emerged in Su Que’s mind.

From the memories of these Arhats, he learned that forcefully breaking through the Buddhist Barrier would alert the Buddhist deities in the Upper Realm.

Why not perform a forceful breakthrough to let the Buddhist deities above know he has left this Small World and ascended to the Upper Realm?

The deities of the Buddhist Sect would then pursue him in the Upper Realm.

This would be better than having the deities of the Buddhist Sect hunt people in the Lower Realm and wield telepathy on Su Jing, casting doubts on him and subsequently targeting Su Jing.
