Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Destiny-Chapter 405: Frost Demon Lord

Inside a silent chamber of the Medicine Sect, the Blue Cloud Venerable sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, with Sanskrit flowing across his body, emitting a faint glow.

After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes and slowly stood up.

Having adjusted both physically and mentally to the optimum state, it was time to slay that demon lord and extract the Essence Pill!

With a swipe through the air, the River of Destiny appeared before his eyes.

His practice was indeed a branch of the Karma Destiny… Selflessness!

The reason why Abstinence from Sorrow Zen can abstain from sorrow is that its core intend is “selflessness”. When even the “self” doesn’t exist, naturally there’s no suffering.

At this moment, the Blue Cloud Venerable had already reached the state of “selflessness”, his gaze calm and steady, panic, fear, sadness, excitement, and such negative emotions all thoroughly eliminated, leaving only calmness and indifference.

Taking a step forward, he entered into the River of Destiny and approached a huge shadow.

It was a fully grown Demon King, with a pointed horn on its head that emitted four halos, signifying its status.

Four-Ring Demon King!

It is said that the more halos a Demon King’s horn has, the purer its bloodline;the maximum is Five Rings, and this one in front of him has reached Four Rings, showing its horror!

“This is someone found for forge pills, wanting to kill me…”

As he appeared, the voice of the Four-Ring Demon King rang out, both righteous and evil, sounding in the ears like both a soul-beguiling woman’s voice and a stable, experienced sage.

“As a Demon King, I deserve to die. I kill you also for liberation, for all beings!” The Blue Cloud Venerable looked serene, like a Buddha statue without expression.

“For all beings?”

The grandmotherly voice of the Four-Ring Demon King continued: “Don’t speak so nobly! I, Frost Demon Lord, since I started practicing, have never killed a person, nor have I ingested a cultivator’s essence and strength. In contrast, as a high monk of the Buddhist Sect, how many cultivators have died by your hands? Not ten thousand, then surely eight thousand, right?”

“Trying to confuse my Buddhist heart? You are likely miscalculating. Practicing selflessness, let alone mere words, even demonic tunist cannot shake me the slightest!”

The Blue Cloud Venerable responded indifferently.

“I am merely discussing facts! The Buddhist Sect widely attracts followers;countless people devote their entire lives’ efforts to you, just for cultivating merit for their next life. But actually, where is the next life? Where are these so-called merits? Just a bunch of deceivers cheating the world!”

The Frost Demon Lord shook his head: “Forget it, talking more is useless with you hypocritical folks, just kill if you want to kill;anyway, I have been bound by you and can’t escape!”

“Merit lies within one’s heart, being able to become a force to help me reach the Fruit Position, you could also be considered to have achieved Major Accomplishment in merit!”

Speaking indifferently, the Blue Cloud Venerable extended his hand forward, and in an instant, the boundless River of Destiny surged, forming a massive “卍” character in the air. It intertwined with ancient runes on the chains, like a red-hot branding iron.

Sizzling sounds!

The Frost Demon Lord had green smoke rising from his body, great pain causing him to sweat profusely from his head and his body to tremble uncontrollably.

Blue Cloud Venerable, without joy or sorrow, stretched out his hand, and sounds of chanting Sanskrit rose from all around, echoing above the entire River of Destiny.

The next moment, a power so immense it reached its limit spread towards the giant body before him, and then, an Essence Pill emitting an immense amount of Demonic Qi slowly levitated from the top of the Frost Demon Lord’s head.

He planned to forcibly extract the Essence Pill from within the body of his opponent.

Rustling!

Just at that moment, the iron chains around suddenly pulled taut, and the chanting of the Sanskrit also diminished slightly.

“You actually fused the Essence Pill with the iron chains?”

Blue Cloud Venerable furrowed his brows.

The Essence Pill inside the opponent’s body was pulled out through Strength, but a problem was discovered. Knowing that escape was impossible, the demon surprisingly directly fused his own Essence Pill with the iron chains left by the Buddha, forcibly seizing them. Even if the capture could succeed, it would also destroy them, making it impossible to forge pills anymore.

The Essence Pill signifies the essence of oneself. Fusing it with the iron chains is like stabbing one’s own heart with an iron hook, repeatedly piercing it and stringing it together. How much boldness and courage does this require!

This demon was even more ruthless than he who practiced ‘selflessness’.

“You wouldn’t think that by fusing the Essence Pill with the iron chains, I can’t obtain it, right? Ridiculous!”

At last, a change appeared on the composed face of Blue Cloud Venerable as he snorted coldly.

“Forcibly extracting it, the Essence Pill will shatter. Even if obtained, you cannot use it to make Fruit Position Golden Pills. This surely isn’t what you want, right?”

Frost Demon Lord no longer had his previous expression, but instead wore a smile: “How about we make a deal? You let me go, and I give you the Essence Pill… It’s a win-win situation!”

Blue Cloud Venerable flipped his wrist, and a string of Buddha Beads appeared in his palm: “You surely don’t believe that by locking up the Essence Pill, I am helpless. You underestimate the Buddhist Sect, and underestimate a monk about to meet the Bodhisattva Fruit Position!”

Whoosh!

Accompanying his words, Blue Cloud Venerable gently tossed the Buddha Beads in his hand, which immediately fell down, hovering above Frost Demon Lord’s head. In the next moment, a series of crisp sounds, the ‘卍’ character on the chains, its light slowly dissipated.

“Don’t you come over here!”

After finishing these actions, with a lift of his eyebrow, Blue Cloud Venerable made another grab.

The Essence Pill above Frost Demon Lord’s head quickly rose again. This time there was no sound from the chains, as if the treasures from the Buddhist Sect that locked down his corpse and soul were temporarily suppressed by the power of the Buddha Beads.

“You…”

Unexpectedly, the opponent had the ability to temporarily suppress the chains. A flicker of panic flashed in Frost Demon Lord’s eyes, and he gritted his teeth trying to control the Essence Pill to prevent it from being taken.

“Paltry trick!”

Blue Cloud Venerable snorted coldly, and the power in the palm of his hand gradually increased, his face changing from a rosy hue to progressively becoming paler.

Honestly speaking, this Demon King, being of the same tier as the Bodhisattva of the Buddhist Sect, his current level of cultivation could not suppress him without the help of the iron chains.

Even now, despite the help of both the Buddha Beads and the iron chains, Buddhist treasures, forcibly extracting the Essence Pill was still somewhat strenuous.

“Break!”

In a moment of exerting his full strength, a fierce look suddenly flashed in the eyes of the panic-stricken Frost Demon Lord, accompanied by a low shout, “Boom!” The body that was bound by the chains suddenly exploded, transforming into a clump of supremely pure power, surging towards Blue Cloud Venerable along with the Essence Pill.

Blue Cloud Venerable was like rope-pulling, using all his strength to pull. In the stalemate, the opponent not only loosened the rope but also destroyed his corpse, pushing all the power over…

In an instant, the power backflooded. Even the formidable Blue Cloud Venerable could hardly bear it, his face turning pale as he spewed a mouthful of fresh blood.

Spurt!

The next moment, the Essence Pill surged over, immediately carrying the chains, piercing his chest, and burst out of the bounds of the River of Destiny, escaping.
