I Can Extract Divine Power-Chapter 142 - 102: Black Heart, Bizarre

Hearing his words, everyone grew doubtful.

After all, the bizarre heart before them was slightly different from what Wuhua had described.

Shen Bai stroked his chin and soothed Amber before speaking. "Is it possible that this Deceitful Object was suppressed until only its heart remained, but it could never be completely destroyed?"

Wuhua considered this for a moment, then nodded. "Perhaps that’s true. If it’s as Donor Shen says, then this Array isn’t just to keep things out, but also to keep things in. But why did our founder say to invite everyone in the world to enter the back mountain through the Buddha’s Six Wheels?"

Shen Bai thought for a moment. "Perhaps the heart of this Deceitful Object can’t be destroyed, but your founder used a special method to imprison it, hoping that future generations would be able to."

"However, your founder must have considered that if no one at Xuanxin Temple could destroy the Deceitful Object, it would escape and wreak havoc upon the world. That’s why he set up this Array."

"Anyone with the ability to reach this place would also have the ability to destroy the Deceitful Object."

As Shen Bai explained, the crowd felt his theory was highly plausible.

The Xuanxin Temple founder’s purpose in creating this place was to establish a threshold for destroying the Deceitful Object. But since he couldn’t guarantee that Xuanxin Temple would have the strength to cross that threshold in the future, he allowed all the Jianghu People to participate.

Whoever managed to get this far would receive the treasures they’d collected as a reward, and could then destroy the Deceitful Object while they were at it.

One of the Jianghu People looked up at the heart in the sky and swallowed hard. "But can we really handle this?"

The powerful, oppressive aura still made many of them break out in a cold sweat.

Even bound by chains, it was impossible to look at directly.

Shen Bai ignored their thoughts. He licked his lips, thinking, ’Such a powerful Deceitful Object... if I kill it, I wonder how much Evil Qi I’ll get?’

He was in desperate need of Evil Qi right now. His second qualitative transformation had used up all of his reserves.

And he had obtained three Deceitful Objects this time, which required Evil Qi to be appraised quickly.

Otherwise, the process would take a huge amount of time.

That simply wasn’t a worthwhile trade-off for Shen Bai.

And the Deceitful Object before him was a prime source of Evil Qi.

As Shen Bai was thinking this, the giant heart seemed to sense the approach of the living. The unique characteristics of a Deceitful Object intensified within it, growing more and more violent.

The sinister, cold Qi, contrary to its nature, began to roil like boiling water.

Deceitful Objects hate the living and will try to erase them all. Thus, the arrival of the group triggered a chain reaction.

In that instant, the chains binding the heart began to weaken drastically.

The Buddha’s Light, in particular, flickered like a candle in a gale, on the verge of being swallowed by the sinister, cold aura of the Deceitful Object.

CRACK!

A shattering sound echoed as a crack appeared on one of the chains.

The crack spread rapidly. With its appearance, one chain shattered into pieces on the ground. Like a row of dominoes, once the first chain broke, many more followed suit, shattering as well.

The heart, which had been suspended in mid-air by the chains, suddenly plummeted to the ground. The Buddha’s Light dimmed, and a sinister, cold Qi began to circulate.

A thick layer of frost formed on the ground and walls from the sinister, cold Qi.

"Watch out!"

Shen Bai’s sudden shout put all the Jianghu People on high alert.

The heart on the ground suddenly split open, and streams of black water poured out from the fissure.

The black water spread across the ground, surging toward the group.

Shen Bai caught a foul stench, then swung Cold Moon forward.

A single Blood Red Sword Qi, with a flash of Cold Moon, instantly multiplied into hundreds of blades that wove together and struck the black water.

When the Sword Qi struck the black water, the liquid vaporized as if it had met a raging fire.

The steam, in turn, corroded the Blood Red Sword Qi, eating it away completely in the blink of an eye.

"What a powerful corrosive Power Dao." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

A grave look appeared in Shen Bai’s eyes.

From his rise in Shengyun County to the present day, he had never encountered anything that could withstand his Blood Red Sword Qi.

But now, he had finally met his match.

The black water didn’t just attack Shen Bai; it went after the other Jianghu People as well.

Some of the Jianghu People, however, were struggling to defend themselves.

The black water seemed to possess a Spirituality of its own, acting like a predatory beast as it enveloped several of the Jianghu People.

The Buddha’s Light on those Jianghu People flashed, and they were instantly subject to Teleportation.

Having lost its targets, the black water turned and ensnared other Jianghu People.

A portion of it surged toward Shen Bai once more.

Shen Bai frowned. He then executed Divine Hundred Miles, becoming a blur as he charged toward the giant heart.

The heart was the root of the Deceitful Object and the source of the black water.

As the saying goes, you have to cut off the head of the snake.

Shen Bai planned to destroy it first and deal with the rest later.

With every evasive maneuver, he left an afterimage in his place.

And with each movement, Shen Bai unleashed another Blood Red Sword Qi.

His afterimages were also wreathed in Sword Qi. At the same time, the endless black water seemed to be protecting the heart. It abandoned the other fighters, gathering together to form a humanoid figure as tall as Shen Bai, which then lunged at him.

Shen Bai narrowed his eyes, circulated the Qi within his body, and executed the Vajra Dharma Form Fist.

Behind Shen Bai, a colossal Vajra Dharma Aspect manifested in the open space.

Its fist, carrying a terrifying Fist Gang, shattered the black water humanoid.

At the same time, Shen Bai arrived before the heart.

"This ends now." Shen Bai’s gaze was tranquil.

His fist, covered in Buddha’s Light, descended to strike the top of the heart.

Just as Shen Bai’s fist was about to land, the black heart suddenly changed.

Two thick, powerful arms suddenly sprouted from the sides of the black heart.
