2403 Papiyas Escape, The Notorious Four Falls, Devil Bone’s Claw
“All Existence, Hell Sink!”
Papiyas channeled his Desire energy and created a crimson-color desire hell in the void. The endless energy it contained burst out as soon as it appeared.
The attack was not only locked on to Chu Kuangren, but it even locked on to Buddha Emperor, Guanyin, and others.
Chu Kuangren unleashed a slash, and the mantras that swirled around him formed multiple layers of barriers.
“Bang!”
With the Desire energy stopped by the mantras, Papiyas seized the window and dashed away so fast that he disappeared into the horizon in a split second.
Chu Kuangren blinked in the direction Papiyas escaped and did not give chase.
“Desire Buddha, Buddha, they might be useful in the future.”
The oldest Buddha was on the destruction side.
No one knew whether Buddha was alive or dead, and there was no clear indication of that in the information the Devil King provided.
If Buddha was not dead, Papiyas would be useful in the future.
That was what Chu Kuangren had in mind when he saw Papiyas escape.
Then, he looked at Blood Buddhist and Minotaurus.
Both of them were petrified. They thought they had gotten powerful support, but then Chu Kuangren defeated Papiyas with ease and forced him to escape, leaving the two of them behind.
“Run!”
Blood Buddhist and Minotaurus wanted to run.
The Desire Buddha was useful but not the two of them.
There was no way they could escape from Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren struck as fast as a lightning bolt, killing Minotaurus.
Blood Buddhist was quite powerful being an Ultimate Monarch, but it was not Chu Kuangren’s first fight against one.
After a few exchanges, Chu Kuangren finally killed Blood Buddhist.
With that, all the Notorious Four of the Buddhist Tower were dead.
The disaster that befell Heavenly Buddha Pure Land challenged Buddha Emperor and the other Buddhist cultivators like never before, but Chu Kuangren resolved it with such ease.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were astonished by Chu Kuangren’s strength, especially the Buddhist cultivators of the Pan Gu Sect like Cundi, Receive, and others.
They looked at Chu Kuangren with deep reverence.
“He’s always the unpredictable Outlier no matter where or when he is. His existence is the biggest miracle in this universe,” Cundi murmured.
Some of the Buddhist cultivators looked at Chu Kuangren with admiration.
The Buddhist energy that Chu Kuangren used to defeat Papiyas felt pure and powerful, which was something not even Buddha Emperor possessed.
“Thank you for assisting us, Monarch Chu,” Buddha Emperor said as he put his hands together.
“Buddha Emperor, you’re welcome. Since you stood up against the Void Ruler without hesitation, it’s only normal for me to help you overcome this disaster,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
Some of the Buddhist cultivators behind Buddha Emperor reacted conflictedly.
In fact, some of them were hostile toward Chu Kuangren because he used to have a conflict with the Pure Land, which included killing Gu Chan.
However, after what happened, they finally learned to let go of their grudges against him. Even if they resented him, they could do nothing about it.
With his current strength and status, they could not even get close to him.
On the contrary, Chu Kuangren could easily wipe them out.
“Monarch Chu, I wonder what you’re going to do with these men?”
Buddha Emperor was referring to the wicked and ferocious men who escaped the Buddhist Tower.
Even though he was a seasoned cultivator, he was amazed by Chu Kuangren Bodhi Samadhi.
It was actually his first time seeing a cultivation technique that could cleanse one of his evil intents.
“They are all your prisoners. I’ll let you take care of them,” Chu Kuangren said. At least he had to show some respect to Buddha Emperor.
Buddha Emperor nodded and thanked him once again. “Thank you, Monarch Chu.”
After that, he had the evil men locked up, and surprisingly, the evil men did not even resist.
Once everything was back on track, Buddha Emperor asked Chu Kuangren about his purpose to visit.
Chu Kuangren skipped the courteous talk and revealed his intention.
“The Devil King’s weapon?” Buddha Emperor was slightly surprised.
He pondered before he was struck with realization. “I think I know what you’re referring to. Please come with me.”
Buddha Emperor brought Chu Kaungren to the deepest part of the Pure Land.
There was a pool blanketed with golden lotuses.
Inside the pool was a deep and dark aura containing a terrifying energy that felt like it could burst out from the pool at any moment.
However, the golden lotuses on the surface managed to hold it down.
On a closer look, it was actually a black bone claw.
It was carved with mystical runes and emanated an evil presence.
If not for the pool, the evil presence that it released could summon devils across ten million kilometers of land.
It was much more terrifying than the collapse of the Buddhist Tower.
“Devil Bone’s Claw.”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes glimmered.
The Devil Bone’s Claw was the Devil King’s Ultimate Supreme Weapon.
The Devil King was originally a mystical bone that had absorbed the evil intents of all sentient beings.
During the first Infinity War, her body was destroyed, and her soul reincarnated into a devil, which made her into the current Devil King.
She tried her best to search for the fragments of her body. However, since she had gotten used to being a devil and refused to go back to being a skeleton, she used the fragments to craft a powerful Ultimate Supreme Weapon, which would be the Devil Bone’s Claw.
Only with the Devil Bone’s Claw could the Devil King return to her prime.
Unfortunately, another battle destroyed her body again, and she lost the Devil Bone’s Claw.
It was not until recently that the Dark Demonic Ruler located it, which was why Chu Kuangren was sent to retrieve it.
“Buddha Emperor, I want to take it away.”
“Monarch Chu, you saved us from the disaster earlier, so you’re free to take it away. However, this item is wicked. When the Pure Land discovered it, the cultivators almost got corrupted by its evil presence. That’s why the pool was built to hold it down. I wonder how you’re going to take it away.”
“It’s not that hard.”
Chu Kuangren smiled and then sucked the claw out of the pool.
The moment the claw left the pool, boundless evil intents spread. It only took a moment for the evil intents to sweep across the whole Pure Land.
Then, with a single thought, Chu Kuangren activated the Thousand Weapon Heart.
The technique allowed him to control all weapons in the universe, including the Devil Bone’s Claw.
Under Chu Kuangren’s control, the evil intents across the land were suppressed.
However, the Devil Bone’s Claw retaliated when Chu Kuangren tried to subdue it. It attacked Chu Kuangren with endless evil intents, trying to corrupt him into a devil.
Chu Kuangren countered with Bodhi Samadhi and cleansed himself of the evil intents.
Slowly but surely, he gained full control of the Devil Bone’s Claw.
Chu Kuangren put it into a pocket realm that he opened up.
He dared not put it into his Pocket Universe.
His Pocket Universe had yet to have the strength to handle the evil intents from the claw, so it would only take a while for it to be overwhelmed by devils, and countless lives would be lost.
“Monarch Chu, that’s some amazing control!” Buddha Emperor exclaimed.
He added, “I see you have some attainments in Buddhism as well. Why don’t you stay here for a few more days so that we can properly welcome you with our hospitality? I can even learn a thing or two from you.”
“I shall take your offer,” said Chu Kuangren.
