1588 Kill Away, Mountains and Rivers Dyed in Blood, Murderous Arch Gilded Intent
"So, the bell chime doesn't only control them, but it even enhances their beliefs and makes them unafraid of death?" Chu Kuangren pondered.
Then, he took a step forward and activated the Spacetime Sealing Technique. Countless silvery white Daoist patterns enshrouded the area.
All the monks' movements were restrained, and they slowed down.
Then, Chu Kuangren's figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared before one of the monks. He slashed forward with the Descendant Self Sword and cut off one of the monk's arms.
A hint of pain appeared in the monk's eyes, but it did not stop him from attacking Chu Kuangren.
"I knew it."
Chu Kuangren dodged the monk's attack and performed another slash, casting Wei Tuo Sword Art together with the Merciful Arch Gilded Intent.
The slash was aimed at the monk's neck.
Swoosh!
As the Bodhisattva fell, his blood spurted and rained down on the ground.
"Brother Chu…"
The scene pained Shi Ying, but she did not say anything.
"Kill them!"
"Both Chu Kuangren and Guanyin's successor must die!"
The rest of the Bodhisattvas were not deterred by their comrade's death. Quite the opposite, they grew restless and more ferocious as if the hidden killer instinct in them was awakened.
Chu Kuangren continued brandishing his Descendant Self Sword at them.
Sword qi, Immortal Sparks, divine abilities, Immortal Techniques, Buddhist Light, and all kinds of energies intertwined in the void, shaking the land.
A while later, all the Bodhisattvas were beheaded by Chu Kuangren. He stood in the air in his white robes, free of a single drop of blood.
He gazed into the distant sky sharply.
He sensed two powerful energy presences further away, and they were probably the strongest presence he had sensed since arriving at the Far West Land.
"Due to the Buddha Destroyer Bell's influence, many places in the Far West Land have fallen. In order to stop this disaster, I must deal with the root of all causes — the Holy Dragon Pure Land!"
Chu Kuangren looked at Shi Ying. "I'll head to the Holy Dragon Pure Land first. The key to stopping all this might be there. You–"
"You don't need to worry about me. I'm already an Arch Gilded Immortal. I am more than capable of protecting myself. This disaster has befallen the whole of Far West Land, and you're the only one capable enough to stop this. Just do whatever you think is right. You don't need to hold back," Shi Ying said.
Her words tacitly granted Chu Kuangren permission to kill in the Far West Land.
After all, the land was filled with people under the Buddha Destroyer Bell's influence, which made them their enemies.
It would be difficult for Chu Kuangren to solve the problem if his hands were tied.
Shi Ying was too soft to kill her peers, but Chu Kuangren did not have the burden or guilt of killing them.
"Alright, then. You take care," Chu Kuangren said.
The bell tower affecting that area had been destroyed, so it was safe for Shi Ying to stay for the time being.
With that, his figure flashed, and he flew toward the Holy Dragon Pure Land.
…
Meanwhile, in Holy Dragon Pure Land, the Holy Dragon Abbot was using the Six Guna Demonic Hooks and the Desire World Sky's energy to create a powerful illusion to stall Buddha Yun Lan and attack her Buddhist core.
Despite being in an illusion, Buddha Yun Lan was protected by powerful Buddhist Light, so the Holy Dragon Abbot could not break through her barriers for the time being.
In addition to the stagnant situation, he sensed a powerful presence coming toward him quickly.
Based on the speed and the energy presence, that person was incredibly strong.
"It's Chu Kuangren!"
"He's coming to Holy Dragon Pure Land! I have to hold Buddha Yun Lan back, so I can't deal with him. Moreover, he's not a common cultivator. He cannot come here, or things might take a drastic turn!" Holy Dragon Abbot thought.
Therefore, he sent an order to the monks under the bell's influence to stop Chu Kuangren from getting to Holy Dragon Pure Land.
All the monks and cultivators in the Far West Land were mobilized, and they all headed toward Chu Kuangren to stop him from reaching Holy Dragon Pure Land.
Some of them were common Immortals, but some were powerful Gilded Immortals and Arch Gilded Immortals. Their combined strength alone could run the Immortal World over.
Now, they were all teaming up to take down one person.
"Chu Kuangren, they're unafraid of death because of the bell. Can you get past them and get here?" Holy Dragon Abbot thought.
…
Ring!
The bell chime continued to echo across the land, and it struck a chord in people's souls.
Under the sound of the bell, many cultivators and monks became Buddha Destroyers, and their chants echoed across the realm.
Chu Kuangren analyzed the bell towers and realized they were all just a broadcasting medium. In that case, there must be a source to the bell.
In order to restore peace and order to the Far West Land, he must strike the source.
The source might very well be in Holy Dragon Pure Land, but he must first reach the place before he could even investigate.
"Destroy the Buddha!"
"Destroy the Buddha!"
Vast and mighty bell chimes sounded.
Chu Kuangren narrowed his eyes. "Here they come."
As far as his sight could reach, cultivators and monks were charging toward him with sheer killing intent. Their energy presence and killing intent shrouded even the sky.
They were all here to kill him.
Chu Kuangren's gaze turned cold. "If you people want a slaughter-fest, I will give you a slaughter-fest!"
Then, he stepped forward and flew toward the cultivators and monks.
He raised the Descendant Self Sword and slashed forward with it.
The mighty sword ray shone across the land. When it struck the massive crowd, a large area exploded in blood and dyed the land red.
Buddha was merciful but also ruthless when needed!
Since Chu Kuangren was not Buddha, his methods were a hundred times more ruthless.
Despite knowing the cultivators and monks were under the bell's control, he killed without any guilt.
Chu Kuangren had never gone on such a massive killing spree!
He had to kill to stop the killing and the disaster!
One step forward, and he left a trail of blood and death; one slash forward, and the countless sword qi turned into the fiercest dragons, destroying everything their way.
The cultivators and monks fell one after another, and their blood dyed the land and river red.
"Holy Dragon Slash!"
One of the monks charged forward and slashed his saber at Chu Kuangren. Then, a Holy Dragon's roar echoed in the sky.
Chu Kuangren did a reverse slash. The sharp sword ray tore the Holy Dragon and the monk who used the technique.
Seeing more cultivators and monks charging toward him, his expression turned cold. Murderous intent filled his mind. "Don't worry. When you people reach the Underworld, I will arrange for you all to reincarnate into a better life."
That would be the greatest mercy he could show to the enslaved cultivators and monks.
"Kill!"
He charged into the massive crowd and used all kinds of Immortal Techniques and divine abilities to carve his way forward.
The monks and cultivators were unafraid of death and unaware of exhaustion, especially since their beliefs were distorted and strengthened by the bell chime.
Chu Kuangren, however, was not afraid of them.
His Indestructible Body granted him the capability to fight at a higher caliber, and he had never lost a lasting battle.
The endless killing, the ceaseless movements, the infinite sword ray that reaped lives… Chu Kuangren was on a frenzy killing spree.
His mind somehow entered a strange state, and he started to feel something blooming inside him.
Boom!
As the void trembled, the excruciating murderous intent manifested and caused the land to tremble.
It was another Arch Gilded Intent — the Murderous Arch Gilded Intent!
Chu Kuangren had comprehended the Murderous Arch Gilded Intent amidst his frenzied killing spree!
