Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist

Chapter 574 - 321: Seven Injuries Shatter Demon Buddha

Karmic force transformed into a mix of purple and black gas, swirling around Su Que.

The karmic force nourished his body, making his flesh and blood increasingly robust.

As the Eight-Nine Evil Technique approached a breakthrough, a power was brewing within his body.

Not long after, this power erupted from his body like a volcanic explosion.

He glanced at his attributes.

Eight-Nine Evil Technique (4th Realm Elite 1%) [Upper Level Heaven-Reaching Technique]

Then he looked at his remaining lifespan.

Remaining lifespan: 29625

After elevating the Eight-Nine Evil Technique by nearly a realm, his lifespan extended by more than a thousand years.

Additionally, he felt a newborn power lodged within his flesh and blood.

As long as he activated the Eight-Nine Evil Technique, this power would merge into the flesh and blood, invigorating it.

The animated flesh and blood could undergo greater transformations according to his will.

Previously, he could use the Eight-Nine Evil Technique to alter his appearance and physique.

But those appearances and physiques were still within the human scope.

Now, he could use the Eight-Nine Evil Technique to transform into animals resembling human forms.

In the cave, he took off his clothes and circulated the Eight-Nine Evil Technique.

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered towards him, and his physical body, under the combination of the Eight-Nine Evil Technique’s power and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, rippled and transformed.

Afterwards, his body became extremely agile, transforming at his will into creatures like bears and apes, which were not far from human form.

’This is indeed an interesting magic.’

’But now, it is of little use to me.’

’The concealment of destiny by the Eight-Nine Evil Technique is still the most formidable.’

Currently, he very much needed to conceal destiny, so that he wouldn’t fear being discovered by monks from Spirit Mountain or other prominent figures.

Thus, he could quietly cultivate in the Upper Realm.

Only when he sought others’ trouble would it be difficult for them to trouble him.

After reaching the 4th Realm Elite in the Eight-Nine Evil Technique, Su Que activated it to conceal his destiny, and a white mist began to drift from his body.

However, this mist was thin and faint.

If Su Que densely concentrated the mist, it could only cover thirty percent of his body.

’Perhaps, if this white mist fully covered my body, it would effectively conceal my destiny,’ Su Que thought.

Subsequently, he pondered over the question of how to obtain more karmic force now that there wasn’t any left in his body.

Although he had visited several Small Worlds, and due to his actions of eradicating evil and saving people, he established faith in the Lower Realm.

Even without killing in the Lower Realm, his body still accumulated a trickle of karmic force over time.

However, his avatars returned, and since Spirit Mountain dispatched stronger and more monks to the Lower Realm, they began eradicating his faith.

Anyone selling his legendary portraits were seized and all portraits burned.

Furthermore, the artists’ wealth and livelihood were confiscated.

If the artists continued painting, they would have their fingers broken, and never paint again.

Those who performed storytelling with him as the protagonist were also banned from speaking of these contents; if discovered, they experienced either hefty fines and beatings, or had their tongues cut out and could never speak again.

Thus, with the eradication of faith in multiple Small Worlds, the karmic force Su Que could receive gradually decreased.

’Since establishing faith in the Lower Realm has been sabotaged by Spirit Mountain.’

’If I want to acquire karmic force, I must shift my focus to the Upper Realm.’

’Slaughtering in the Upper Realm can also yield karmic force.’

’If I slay monks from the Demon Buddha Lineage, I can acquire more karmic force.’

’Because their essence contains karmic force.’

With this thought, Su Que identified two methods for obtaining karmic force.

One is to use Monk Mo Luo’s memories to locate his master’s cultivation site, where there is a gathering of monks from Demon Buddha Puxun Lineage.

Previously, he felt his power inadequate, thus he didn’t plan to go there.

In Monk Mo Luo’s memory, he knew Mo Luo’s master was Tianzang Monk, once a Spirit Mountain Bodhisattva, influenced by Demon Buddha Puxun and defected from Spirit Mountain.

Tianzang Monk’s Cultivation reached the second transformation of the Creation Realm.

The next realm after the Merging Realm is the Creation Realm, divided into nine transformations.

If a cultivator reaches the peak of the Merging Realm, their lifespan can exceed ten thousand years.

At the pinnacle of the Creation Realm, lifespan can reach a hundred thousand years.

Su Que’s current lifespan is about twenty-nine thousand years.

This indicates that his physical body and spirit are close to the third transformation of the Creation Realm.

That is to say, his physical body and spirit are stronger than Tianzang Monk’s, but since his cultivation is not high enough, if using techniques of the same Realm, his techniques might not be as powerful as Tianzang Monk’s.

Nonetheless, his martial proficiency compensates for the gap between him and Tianzang Monk.

Additionally, he possesses forceful power cultivation techniques like Celestial Demon Dissolving Technique, Demon Saber, Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill, enabling him to rapidly enhance his power.

So, he believes that if he confronts Tianzang Monk, he is highly likely to kill Tianzang Monk.

Apart from seeking out Monk Mo Luo’s master, another method is to venture into the unclaimed Small World in Monk Mo Luo’s memory, to establish faith and thus collect karmic force.

Su Que thought of this and made a decision.

He opted for dual strategies, by sending avatars to establish faith in the Lower Realm.
