Chapter 1565
The monster soul of the Thousand-legged Myriad Poison Dragon has reached its limit, already riddled with wounds, injured into this state; finally he fought to the death against the Dragonherder, which can be considered as completing his revenge; over these many years, he has been tormented by the Dragonherders; the monster soul doesn't know how much suffering it has endured; it can no longer recover.
This death-defying battle killed the Dragonherder's last remnant soul, which counts as his bravest act; he killed the Dragonherder and avenged himself.
This body, this monster soul, can no longer sustain itself; the person before him is very strange, yet still of the same kind; the Thousand-legged Myriad Poison Dragon naturally appreciates him more—a fellow of the same kind who has encountered a special opportunity, practices Buddhist teachings, and has a strange appearance, which makes him very curious.
Everything on the Myriad Poison Demon King's body indicates his experiences; they must be extraordinarily miraculous, otherwise he wouldn't be so strange; precisely because of this, the Thousand-legged Myriad Poison Dragon sees something different in him; this monster has very good luck.
This is the most important point for their monster beasts: luck. Many monster beasts have poor luck, encountering death early and also misfortune; most die an unnatural death, while a minority of monster beasts have decent luck and can make it to the end.
Fate does not favor the Monster Race; the Thousand-legged Myriad Poison Dragon has sighed more than once. Compared to humans, their monster beasts' situation is miserable and also embarrassing, disliked by heaven and earth; they themselves…… cannot go on, nor can they survive.
Take him, for example—how tragic his fate, how humble his luck; merely staying alive is a luxury, let alone taking revenge. If it weren't for this time when the Dragonherder took a misstep and lost his physical body, he would not have had the chance to seize a body and annihilate his remnant soul.
If it weren't for everything falling into place just right, he would not have had the opportunity to break free of his bonds and then act against the Dragonherder.
"Amitabha, benefactor, your monster soul and body are already feeble and weak; you cannot be my opponent. Let's have a good talk—just give me this body of yours, how about it?"
"The poor monk will not waste your body; if you have any last words, the poor monk can help you fulfill them."
The Myriad Poison Demon King naturally wouldn't just take his body for nothing; the Thousand-legged Myriad Poison Dragon's body is extremely strong and very suitable for him; he naturally wants to take it effortlessly, and he also doesn't want the Thousand-legged Myriad Poison Dragon to destroy this body; the Thousand-legged Myriad Poison Dragon truly doesn't want to give him this body, and could act covertly to sabotage.
The Thousand-legged Myriad Poison Dragon stared intently at the soul before him emanating Buddha light, the Buddhist chants intertwining, continually eroding his monster soul in order to control it, so that he would no longer resist.
"Buddhist chants of the Buddhist sect—who would have thought a monster beast like you could actually cultivate Buddhist techniques and attain such accomplishment."
"If those old bald donkeys of the Buddhist sect found out, they'd surely be shocked, kid—report your name."
The Thousand-legged Myriad Poison Dragon did not act; he saw through the Myriad Poison Demon King's methods—those Buddhist chants could not affect him, nor could they brainwash him.
Such methods are utterly disgusting; he has a decent appreciation for the Myriad Poison Demon King before him, so naturally…… he will not act; even if he wanted to act now, it's not very possible, for the Myriad Poison Demon King has taken control of his body—this body cannot resist, and he cannot control it.
"The poor monk Myriad Poison; you may also call the poor monk Heavenly Dragon Child."
The Myriad Poison Demon King, who calls himself Heavenly Dragon Child, this is the Buddhist name he gave himself, very fitting for a Buddhist appellation.
Heavenly Dragon of the Buddhist sect, Myriad Poison Heavenly Dragon—this was his original hope; calling himself Heavenly Dragon also fits his identity perfectly, for he was originally a Myriad Poison centipede, a centipede that transformed into a dragon, becoming a Buddhist sect Heavenly Dragon; thus Heavenly Dragon Child is also…… a very fitting name.
"Heavenly Dragon Child, hahaha."
Upon hearing this, the monster soul of the Thousand-legged Myriad Poison Dragon looked up to the sky and laughed loudly.
The laughter echoed inside his body, poison gas continually spreading, his entire body swelling; that monster soul grew ever weaker, while Buddha light gradually enveloped his body, constantly changing everything around.
In fact, he naturally did not want to just give up after all; after all, he had just gained freedom, and to simply hand it over would be unjustifiable.
The will to survive made him want to live and to drive away the Myriad Poison Demon King; the Demon King's Buddha light continually permeated, continually converting his monster soul; this deficient monster soul would soon be converted and then become food for the Myriad Poison Demon King.
Their fusion is not merely the melting of bodies but also the merging of monster souls; what the Myriad Poison Demon King fancies is not only his body but also this deficient monster soul; after devouring it, he can complete his transformation and will no longer need this toad's body.
The Toad Venerable's body is indeed fine, but it does not suit him; previously seizing this body was also a helpless method.
Having a better option, he naturally chose the best; the Thousand-legged Myriad Poison Dragon's body is perfectly suited to him and also represents his opportunity to attain the Dao; the Myriad Poison Demon King covets this body, his true form also entered the body, beginning to gradually control and erode it.
This body will sooner or later be his; the Thousand-legged Myriad Poison Dragon cannot stop it, nor can anyone else.
"Amitabha, benefactor, your monster soul and body have already been separated, leaving no way to live; why not directly merge with the poor monk? Become part of the poor monk, and thereafter we will hunt down the Dragonherder clan together, devour the entire Dragonherder clan, and offer it in memorial of your past suffering."
"The poor monk can promise you that he will surely annihilate the Dragonherder clan; how about it?"
The Myriad Poison Demon King made a promise; he knows that to obtain this body before him, he must make the Thousand-legged Myriad Poison Dragon willingly submit and willingly sacrifice his body for him; since they share the same origin, they can naturally be trusted.
At least, compared to humans, they are both monster beasts and both centipedes.
It's better to favor one's own kind than to favor humans.
The Thousand-legged Myriad Poison Dragon fell silent, staring fixedly at the Myriad Poison Demon King for a long time, then he sighed: "Alright, this seat is already at death's door; let it be the last thing I do for my kind—if you want my monster soul, take it."
He gave up resistance; his monster soul completely ceased to resist, allowing the Buddha light to baptize his monster soul.
He personally accepted it; after a moment, the Buddha light permeated his monster soul; immediately thereafter, that monster soul gleamed with golden light. The Myriad Poison Demon King waited until the Buddha light completely enveloped his entire body, then he emerged from the body's flesh and blood, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed that monster soul.
The monster soul entered his body; his body then turned into a glittering golden light. He sat down and directly began refining that monster soul, and along with it, refined this body as well.
"Namu."
"Namu."
The Buddhist chants sounded, the Great Compassion sutra turning; countless Buddha lights burst forth, permeating the entire body; the Myriad Poison Demon King's monster soul followed, merging with this body; this step made the whole body glitter with golden light.
Furthermore, this is not over; the Myriad Poison Demon King's monster soul then began to swell, origin merging; the Thousand-legged Myriad Poison Dragon's monster soul completely fused with his monster soul, the vast energy letting his monster soul rise, and his cultivation also rose.
