I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 418 - 76: Karma Remnant Buddha

"Boom, boom..."

In the Bloodsea, the lotus platform beneath the Divine Buddha moved slowly, carrying His sky-covering form forward with a step.

Seeing this, a thug closest to Him suddenly dropped the gun in his hands, knelt down in full admiration, and bowed every three steps in worship of the Divine Buddha.

For some reason, he could always vaguely hear the Divine Buddha "calling" him, soothing his scarred soul.

In fact, he was not really a victim. Before being imprisoned, he had been a gang leader terrorizing a region, specifically involved in human trafficking activities.

The families torn apart by him numbered at least eight hundred if not a thousand. According to any religious doctrine, people like him could only go to Hell.

But at this moment, the towering and majestic Divine Buddha was suggesting in the dark that people like him could also be redeemed and ascend to the Paradise Realm of no suffering and sorrow.

Thus, he converted to the Divine Buddha almost instantly and knelt down justly, praying that the Divine Buddha would glance at him once more.

In the next moment, a pink lotus fell from the sky and landed on his head, as if an immortal was assisting him.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that he could suddenly see the face of the Divine Statue clearly.

The Venerable's cheeks were full like the moon, but they were not of human flesh, more like mutton-fat jade exposed to incense for millennia, his earlobes hanging down to his jaw, resembling plump bodhi seeds, forming a dignified treasure-like appearance.

When the wind brushed past, the strands of hair hanging from the vortex on His head lifted, with each strand reflecting the image of a different world: the left tips sparkled with the starlight of ascetics on snowy mountains; the right side entangled with the first cries of human infants; the hair on the forehead drifted with the sands of living beings.

But when He fully opened His eyes, these illusions shattered into gold dust, leaving only two deep pools capable of drowning the multitude of sorrows.

The thug noticed that a lotus grew from his soles, and every step he took left a mark where flowers bloomed and withered, seemingly manifesting the cycle of reincarnation in the human world.

"I… someone like me… can also be redeemed by the Divine Buddha?"

Excitedly, he clasped his hands and wanted to recite the chant taught by the Divine Buddha.

However, just as he was about to speak, he suddenly staggered and toppled forward uncontrollably.

The world spun in his vision.

Yet suddenly, he saw his lower half.

Probably somewhere below the waist, his lower half remained in a bowing posture, but was already one or two meters away from him at this moment.

As for above the waist…

There was nothing but a clean, neat cut with no rough edges.

It finally dawned on him.

It seemed like he had been cut in half.

But… when?

He never sensed any danger, nor did he see a butcher's knife fall.

How was he sliced open, and when could it have happened?

The thug struggled to think, but no answer was forthcoming.

Honestly, he didn't care about these things right now.

Perhaps it's the influence of the chanting; he vividly felt the pain, the kind that comes from a body being halved, spreading to every nerve, every pore.

Yet, inexplicably, he suddenly could withstand this insane pain, or rather, his mind became exceptionally clear, incapable of madness, only slowly savoring the endless pain.

While pondering, another lotus fell from the sky, covering his eyes.

And this time, he was cut vertically...

No blades, no cutting tools, no special energy manifestations.

But the thug was relentlessly sliced, horizontally, vertically, diagonally, back and forth...

Until his body completely disassembled into small cubes and merged into the lotus platform under the Divine Buddha Statue, bringing it to an end.

By then, the people finally awoke from the chants, amidst the swirling blood fog, they saw the truth of the lotus platform.

It wasn't a platform made of jewels and clay, but a pure blood-made construct, interspersed with countless bones, polished to extreme smoothness and arranged in specific patterns to form the appearance of a lotus platform...

Meanwhile, the ancient chant became clear at last, deeply imprinting several poetic lines from eternity as a "brand" in the minds of the people.

"The tribulation flames burn the forms of heavens, lotus blossoms with strange fragrance from decaying flesh."

The Divine Buddha Statue took another step, heading towards a gathering spot in the forest area.

With His arrival, the people in the gathering also knelt.

Most were prisoners with minor crimes, and many newborns born on the island.

According to all major religious doctrines, they were absolutely faultless… or at least not deserving of death.

Yet the Divine Buddha Statue did not forgive them because of this.

"Even after a thousand corpses are passed through by the blade, it remains called pure; after half a scroll of sutras is recited, it becomes scarred."

Lotuses slowly descended as the people in the camp were instantly cut, transformed into blood and bones, and merged into the lotus platform beneath the Divine Statue.

The rancid flesh and blood piled up into mountains, the cries echoed among the carcasses, but ultimately, only turned to void.

Yet the tall Buddha Statue, in a so-called "compassionate" pose, continued to gaze down at the ants of the world beneath Him as if truly completing an act of salvation.

"To know that compassion is a great slaughter, why not make Hell the dojo?"

"Do not ask where the remnant body returns, just watch the Bodhi, grow bone beams."

The bones rolled, and the severed limbs in the river of blood constructed one bone dojo after another.

The words of the Divine Buddha echoed in the minds of the people, but what remained were only terrifying head temples.

He is redemption, also punishment and judgment.

No one can escape His lotus platform, and no one can get rid of His chanting.

"Gulp..."

Sniffing the increasingly dense blood scent in the air, looking at the indifferent Divine Buddha Statue, Yun You felt a chill run down her spine, her scalp nearly exploding.

"What exactly is this? A mutant creature? Or a special mechanism of the Death Domain?"

The Divine Buddha Statue completely exceeded her understanding.

She even felt that the powerful Apprentice Death Gods she had once seen could not contend with such an entity.

The Divine Buddha Statue stood in the world, for He was truly "invincible."

[I know what He is now...]

Finally, Master Zero spoke.

However, there was a hint of inescapable fear in its voice, like seeing its arch-enemy.

No... it couldn't be said like that.

Because the Divine Buddha Statue is the arch-enemy of all creatures, not just it alone.

[This is the "Karma Remnant Buddha," Yun You, this is the "Karma Remnant Buddha" for fuck's sake!]

[It's an "Alef Creature," an existence beyond specifications...]

[Do not think of opposing it, do not think of resisting it, for He is truly "invincible"]

[Infinite, invincible, indestructible, unkillable, difficult to escape, all are part of His characteristics]

[This is what an Alef Creature is...]
