Chapter 973: Myriad Poisons Demon King's Encounter, True Vast Buddhist Son?

Tianwai.

Inside the Toad Venerable's body, a great battle took place, a battle of souls.

This battle consumed enormous energy, the entire body trembling.

One soul became the victor, laughing last, the Myriad Poisons Demon King devoured the Toad Venerable's soul; the injured Toad Venerable wanted to heal, but never expected that the Myriad Poisons Demon King lurking deep in his body would gradually seize control of his body, slowly poisoning him and beginning to invade his soul.

By the time the Toad Venerable reacted, it was already too late; the poison had penetrated deep into his soul.

The Myriad Poisons Demon King returned to his old trade, ostensibly using Buddhist techniques to strengthen the soul, gradually infecting the Toad Venerable's soul; it was not obvious, the Toad Venerable focused on healing and did not notice the abnormality in his soul.

Or perhaps he was severely injured and had no choice but to immediately begin training, giving the Myriad Poisons Demon King an opportunity; or perhaps he never imagined the Myriad Poisons Demon King was still alive, and anyone or any demonic beast he devoured would soon be digested.

"Hahaha, finally won; it was really not easy to kill you."

"Devouring the poor monk comes at a price."

"Amitabha Buddha, lost and unable to return, the poor monk can only send you to the Western Paradise."

"Toad Venerable, honestly, the poor monk still wants to thank you; without you, the poor monk might not be able to enjoy such a fine body, nor this formidable strength."

After the Myriad Poisons Demon King took control of the body, he realized how severe this body was, gravely injured, filled with Heavenly Tribulation power; the power belonging to Chen Chuyang was all too familiar to the Myriad Poisons Demon King—he had endured this move before and nearly died.

"Heavenly Tribulation power, Chen Chuyang's thunder techniques are still that heaven-defying; even the Toad Venerable cannot withstand them."

"But this time we really need to thank Chen Chuyang; he may have seen that the poor monk was not dead, deliberately struck the Toad Venerable with heavy injury, giving the poor monk a chance to seize his body."

"This time, I owe another favor."

The Myriad Poisons Demon King began circulating Buddhist Dharma, gradually dispelling the Heavenly Tribulation power.

Demonic aura cannot be dispelled.

Demonic beasts are innately fearful and dreadful of Heavenly Tribulation; they cannot possibly… drive it away.

The Heavenly Tribulation power within the Toad Venerable's body is not weak; the Myriad Poisons Demon King cannot eliminate it all at once, only gradually.

He is not in a hurry; he has plenty of time.

"Great Compassion, the power of compassion, the power of Buddhist Dharma, dispels Heavenly Tribulation."

Circulating the technique, the power of Great Compassion envelops the whole body, dispelling all toxins.

Those toxins all returned to the dantian; that inner core belonging to the Toad Venerable is now his.

And his inner core began to merge with it; the Myriad Poisons Demon King's body had already melted away.

Devoured by the Toad Venerable, it became part of him.

The Monster Pill was protected by the Myriad Buddha Pagoda, also guarded by Buddhist Dharma power, thus surviving to the end.

After who knows how long, the Myriad Poisons Demon King opened his eyes again, initially gaining control of this body; the immense power excited him immensely, although it was not the Toad Venerable's true strength, it was still formidable.

"What tremendous power, saving the poor monk several hundred years of arduous cultivation; this is fine, this body is strong and suits the poor monk."

"The Toad Venerable's body is filled with deadly poison; these toxins can all strengthen my inner core."

His inner core combined the traits of the Monster Pill and the Poison Core, together with the aura of Buddhist Dharma; the three united, forming a special inner core.

The Myriad Poisons Demon King is not in a rush to go out; he knows his own weakness and that this body has not yet been fully refined.

Some of the Toad Venerable's memories also need time to digest; rather than going out directly, it would be easy to be ambushed by those people.

Those fellow Protectors of that world are not pushovers; once they notice his problem, they will look for an opportunity to strike.

They have long despised each other, wishing to kill each other as soon as possible.

This time, the Toad Venerable miscalculated.

"The Buddhist Dharma power of Great Compassion is truly strange; even the venerable Toad Venerable was forcibly converted and absorbed."

"Buddhist Dharma is compassionate, but the poor monk is not."

"The techniques of the Myriad Buddha Temple are truly strange; if we continue cultivating, perhaps…"

The Myriad Poisons Demon King has no retreat; now he can only walk a single path to darkness.

Cannot turn back.

Nor can he turn back.

Having come this far, he can only go forward.

Besides this, there is no second road.

Great Compassion gave him several chances to live; what more could he hope for?

Even if in the end he perishes and his Dao vanishes, he is willing.

"Next, I will fully control this body and also digest everything of the Toad Venerable as soon as possible, restoring the body to a complete state; this requires a long period of time, and what I lack least now is time."

"Leaving that world and managing to survive is truly not easy; that person Chen Chuyang is very strong, the Toad Venerable is no match for him; this person ultimately helped me a bit, and in the future we will meet again; by then, the poor monk will still have to repay the karmic debt."

"Furthermore, Your Excellency White Deer King, I do not know when he will be able to leave that world."

The Myriad Poisons Demon King gained some memories, naturally knowing those people would not allow them to leave.

Anyone who wants to leave must undergo their encirclement and interception.

Whether genius or monstrous evildoer, they are merely their food.

"We are all food."

"Those people are so hateful; they deserve to be killed, they deserve to die."

"Wait and see; someday the poor monk will personally go to their door and wipe them out completely."

"Amitabha Buddha."

"The Buddha is compassionate."

The Myriad Poisons Demon King continued with eyes closed, began to eliminate the Heavenly Tribulation power within his body, while also recovering his body.

The sky above the place where he hid.

A figure appeared.

A bald head slowly descended, brows furrowed.

He looked around, but with a flick of his right hand he saw nothing.

Everything around him was clearly visible.

"Strange, a mysterious qi drew this poor monk here; why did it vanish upon arrival?"

"That qi is the qi of Buddhist Dharma."

"It cannot be mistaken; it is the qi of the Great Compassion technique."

"The qi of our Great Compassion — I, as a Buddhist disciple, would not mistake it."

"Where exactly is it?"

He stared at his surroundings, yet found nothing.

Zhenhong Fozi continued to stare at his surroundings, searching every place, digging three feet deep, determined to find that person.

The qi in the mysterious depths cannot be mistaken.

The qi of the Great Compassion draws him in, and it is absolutely correct.

After searching for three days, Zhenhong Fozi still refuses to leave.

He must find that impulse; he has a presentiment that this impulse is where his opportunity lies.

Those who succeed in cultivating the Great Compassion technique are few and far between.

Within the Buddhist Sect, only he has succeeded in cultivation.
