Chapter 1429: Devil Subduing Vajra
The moment one entered the Imperial Nether Domain, escape became almost impossible. After losing the formation’s support, the 36 monks reverted to their original strength. Killing them became an easy task for Xiang Shaoyun. With his raging killing intent, he wouldn’t care who these people were. He only wanted to kill, and nobody could stop him. Countless chains shot toward the 36 monks, attempting to kill all of them.
One of them shouted, “Sarira fusion, Devil Subduing Vajra, manifest and subdue the devil!”
Immediately after, the panicked monks regained their calm. As they ignored the incoming chains, their foreheads shone, and a ray of light shot out from each forehead. All the rays converged at a single spot. Next, a Buddhist phantom manifested, a phantom with an extremely ferocious face. This phantom was the Devil Subduing Vajra. With the Devil Subduing Stick in hand, the phantom radiated a righteous aura that rippled out and crushed all the chains. This Devil Subduing Vajra seemed to be as strong as a pseudo-God.
The vajra was created through the combination of the 36 monks’ essence power. The Devil Subduing Vajra was capable of slaying all things evil below the God Realm. The righteous aura in the pagoda forest also started entering the domain. Not even the barrier around the Imperial Nether Domain could stop the aura from entering.
As the aura adhered onto the Devil Subduing Vajra’s body, it opened its furious eyes and looked straight at the depths of the Imperial Nether Domain. There, Xiang Shaoyun’s saint soul was seated cross-legged atop his soul foundation. The boundless righteous aura flooded the domain and surrounded Xiang Shaoyun’s saint soul, attempting to purify the soul. Instantly, Xiang Shaoyun’s saint soul regained a calm mind.
The devil pearl was a part of Xiang Shaoyun’s body. After it was provoked, Xiang Shaoyun’s mental state would be affected. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have directly raged after the devil pearl was provoked. With a single look from the Devil Subduing Vajra, Xiang Shaoyun’s devil dao was suppressed. One could see just how pure the righteous aura was.
Xiang Shaoyun withdrew the Imperial Nether Domain and no longer intended to kill the 36 monks. However, that did not mean that he would let what they did slide.
He looked at the Devil Subduing Vajra and said, “I look forward to learning from you.”
Instead of being withdrawn, his devilish energy became even thicker. His rune appeared on his forehead, and the profundity of the devil dao surfaced, pushing his combat strength higher and higher.
If I have no evil in my heart, I’m no devil, thought Xiang Shaoyun. Within his head, his saint soul started chanting a calming sutra. He was basically trying to maintain his calm and fuse with the righteous aura while powering his body with devilish energy. He was using the contradicting forces to temper his willpower.
If he could temper himself enough that he was immune to the righteous aura, he would no longer lose his calm when losing control over his devilish energy.
The 36 monks sat down cross-legged at different spots as they repeatedly chanted, absorbing endless righteous aura to strengthen themselves. The Devil Subduing Vajra seemed to come alive as it charged Xiang Shaoyun.
Devil Subduing Vajra Palm!
A Buddhist palm wrapped in a thick righteous aura slapped at Xiang Shaoyun, surrounding Xiang Shaoyun in a spinning Buddhist symbol that attempted to erase the devilish energy on him. This was a destructive palm attack that could kill even a Great Saint.
Xiang Shaoyun sensed a terrifying suppression that greatly weakened his profundity of the devil dao. Since ancient times, evil could not prevail over justice. The evil power within the devilish energy was unable to hide from the righteous aura.
Xiang Shaoyun was disgusted by the righteous aura, but the more disgusted he was, the stronger his willpower became. He roared, “I’m not a devil!”
With the Celestial Devil Saber in hand, he unleashed a stunning attack, creating a saber ray made of killing intent, evil tendencies, and rage. The ray shot toward the incoming palm.
Boom!
The two terrifying powers clashed, creating an oppressive rumble as terrifying shockwaves spread in all directions. If not for the pagoda forest, the entire temple would probably be hit by the shockwaves.
The Buddhist palm had eliminated countless devils since time immemorial. The saber ray shattered, incapable of forming any threat to the palm. The palm landed on Xiang Shaoyun’s body, slamming him into the ground and suppressing him. The boundless power of the Buddhist palm invaded Xiang Shaoyun’s body bit by bit, eliminating his devil pearl, devil blood, and devil dao.
Xiang Shaoyun was unable to move, yet his mind became clearer and clearer. His saint soul continued chanting the calming sutra again and again, helping him maintain his true heart, teaching him that his strength was merely a part of his existence. Everything was under his willpower’s control. Just or evil, everything was decided by his will.
“I’m not a devil!” Once again, Xiang Shaoyun roared. A boundless amount of the profundity of the devil dao swirled around his body and shattered the Buddhist aura around him. He then soared into the sky and swung his saber at the Devil Subduing Vajra yet again. A torrential saber intent slammed forth.
The terrifying saber ray seemed capable of destroying even stars, and the thick killing intent of his devil dao could plant fear in anyone’s heart. Before the saber ray even started moving, one’s mind would be flooded with fear and might even be killed by the extensive fear.
The killing intent destroyed much of the righteous aura when the saber ray reached the Devil Subduing Vajra, attempting to cut the Devil Subduing Vajra down.
Lay down the blade and become a Buddha on the spot!
The Devil Subduing Vajra widened its eyes and sent yet another palm attack out. Boundless righteous aura surged out and shattered the saber ray, sending Xiang Shaoyun flying away yet again.
“I’m not a devil!” Xiang Shaoyun roared and soared into the sky before swinging his saber again.
He attacked one time after another and was sent flying each time. However, the willpower of his saint soul became stronger and stronger, perfecting his control over the profundity of the devil dao. Finally, it reached a point where the devil dao’s negative emotions could no longer affect him.
Boom!
Once again, Xiang Shaoyun was slapped away. He was finally bleeding. The Devil Subduing Vajra was powered by the boundless righteous aura. Even with the Devil Subduing Vajra’s terrifying might, it needed so many strikes to make Xiang Shaoyun bleed. One could only imagine how tough his god body was.
Xiang Shaoyun stood up, withdrew all his devilish energy, and a serene aura surfaced on his body. Closing both his palms together, he said, “Thank you for helping me temper the devil. I am not a devil.”
Thick primal inception energy then erupted from his body as a boundless battle intent soared into the sky.
