Chapter 257

The joy in Wu Wu Wu Pifu's heart quickly faded, for he saw a scene that made his anger flare up.

The Sinners and the Purified throughout the city were sitting in silent meditation around the palace in the center of the city; they were using their own flesh and blood to protect the monks inside the palace.

From the edge of the palace, some monks were acting like madmen, taking all sorts of ritual implements and attacking the nearest Sinners and Purified. Once these implements touched flesh and blood, they immediately grew bloody maws and began to devour them directly. Whether it was bone implements, thangka skins, or various drums, wooden fish, and treasure vases, once held in the hands of these monks, they turned into flesh-and-blood monsters.

As these ritual implements devoured human flesh and bodies, golden light gradually appeared on the bodies of these monks. Although it was very faint, once the Buddhist logic vanished, the golden light on their bodies became exceptionally obvious.

And once golden light appeared on a monk, their ferocious expressions immediately became slightly at ease, and then they would drive their ritual implements to devour the surrounding believers with an even more frenzied posture.

This was the scene Wu Wu Wu Pifu and the others saw when they arrived.

If it were merely these monks rising up to kill, there would naturally be nothing to say; Wu Wu Wu Pifu could just send them to meet the Buddha with a single slap each. But what truly stirred up violence in the depths of his heart was not this, but the fact that these Sinners and Purified were actually sitting in meditation and paying respects, each chanting Zen mantras. Some of those closest to being devoured were actually moved to tears of excitement, and many Sinners were shouting words like "liberation," "purification," and "Buddha's birth," looking like completely twisted madmen.

When Wu Wu Wu Pifu and the others approached, a sharp-eyed monk on the outskirts of the palace saw the group. This group contained both Sinners and Purified, and they were coming from the outer city at such a time. Immediately, a monk shrieked, "Seize them! They are enemies of the Buddha!"

Instantly, almost all the Sinners and Purified who heard the voice turned their heads. Their eyes immediately became bloodshot as they looked at the group. The closest Sinners jumped up and lunged crazily toward them.

This... these were no longer humans!

This was not even life anymore!

They were like robots or bio-androids; any life form with even a shred of self-awareness could not reach this level.

Seeing this, Ren Tu immediately shouted to Wu Wu Wu Pifu, "Lord Outsider, please..."

Then he saw Wu Wu Wu Pifu leap up, actually jumping onto the heads of the crowd rushing toward them. With a step and a pause, he moved rapidly across the tops of their heads. In just a few seconds, he reached the edge of the palace area, while the monk on the outermost edge still had a ferocious look on his face.

"What do you want to do!? Sinner, kneel down! Do you dare to go against the Buddha!?"

Wu Wu Wu Pifu reached out and pressed his hand onto the monk's head. The monk immediately recited a mantra. He was holding a drumstick made of pale jade, which was actually a ritual implement meticulously carved from a child's thigh bone. The drumstick immediately grew larger and automatically struck down at Wu Wu Wu Pifu's body.

With a muffled thud, Wu Wu Wu Pifu's body remained motionless. A trace of yellow radiance flashed across his skin, and sparks flew everywhere. With just that one strike, the surface of the drumstick actually cracked, and the monk began to bleed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. A look of disbelief appeared on his face.

"What are you!?" the monk roared in a hoarse voice.

Wu Wu Wu Pifu did not answer, but simply stroked the monk's bald head with his palm. At the same time, the group of Sinners had already lunged in front of Ren Tu and the others. Ren Tu and the others were naturally pinned down immediately, while Yao Meng and the others knocked the attackers to the ground. However, intimidated by Wu Wu Wu Pifu's attitude, they did not dare to use lethal force. These Sinners, however, went completely berserk, rushing forward one after another, acting exactly like zombies, which left Yao Meng and the others in a sorry state.

The monk naturally saw this scene, but he was not afraid; instead, he laughed wildly, "Don't let go yet, otherwise your..."

Wu Wu Wu Pifu ignored him and began to exert force with his palm, slowly pressing down from the top of his head. With just one press, the monk immediately wailed, unable to even speak. His hands tried to scratch at Wu Wu Wu Pifu's palm, and his feet tried to kick and scramble backward, but with qi energy piercing through him, the monk couldn't even move, let alone escape. Right there on the spot, he was pressed into a pulp of flesh by Wu Wu Wu Pifu while wailing.

At this moment, the other dozen or so monks roared in anger. They did not flee; instead, they each unleashed their ritual implements to strike at Wu Wu Wu Pifu.

The power of these ritual implements was not very great. Wu Wu Wu Pifu was now a body of copper skin; he couldn't even be harmed by a direct hit at close range, let alone from five paces away. A dozen ritual implements bombarded him—some were human skins turned into giant maws, some were bone-jade hammers smashing down, some were Vajra bone relics enlarging to crush him, and others were wooden fish, leather drums, and gongs blasting sonic waves from afar. For a moment, they enveloped Wu Wu Wu Pifu along with the meat patty under his feet.

The ground exploded and shattered, and the meat patty was turned into meat paste, but Wu Wu Wu Pifu stood in place without a single scratch. On the contrary, these ritual implements were shattered or torn apart, and the dozen monks all began to vomit blood.

"How bold! You dare to harm the monk's body!"

"Evil outsider, truly an evil outsider! You should be cast into the Red Lotus Karma Fire to burn for billions of years!"

"Why don't you kneel down quickly to admit your guilt and accept your punishment, and beg for the mercy of our Buddha!"

Wu Wu Wu Pifu was about to continue the slaughter, but he did not expect that these dozen monks would not only refuse to flee, but even after being injured by the backlash, they all fell to the ground and continued to curse and shout with extreme stubbornness. Moreover, looking at them, they seemed to take it for granted, as if they could Holy See Wu Wu Wu Pifu kneeling down to beg for mercy at any moment.

"No..."

Wu Wu Wu Pifu was speechless. He flashed in front of a monk, still pressing his head with his hand, and then exerted force bit by bit. The monk immediately wailed and trembled all over, but the other monks continued their endless insults, and their faces showed genuine, intense anger. "Are you not afraid of death?"

Wu Wu Wu Pifu was a bit confused, but his hands did not stop, and one monk after another was crushed into meat paste on the spot.

"No, they are not unafraid of death; they just think they cannot die."

A voice came from inside the palace. Immediately after, a tall, sturdy young man walked out, holding a monk in one hand. The monk was full of fear, incessantly begging for his life, but the young man ignored him and simply absorbed the monk into his body bit by bit, as if sucking up jelly. He said to Wu Wu Wu Pifu at the same time, "You are killing too fast, so much so that they die on the spot without feeling that the Heaven-Net of this world has completely collapsed. If they die now, they are truly dead; they cannot pass through the Heaven-Net to enter other bodies."

The monks sprawled all over the ground were full of disbelief upon hearing this, but after carefully sensing, their expressions changed drastically. Even if they exerted all their Buddhist power and mental energy, they could not sense even a shred of Buddhist logic. Only then did they truly panic, and no longer dared to say any insulting or provocative words; instead, they all struggled to retreat in silence.

But is it time for reconciliation?

Wu Wu Wu Pifu ignored them. With a single palm, a nearby monk was turned directly into meat paste. Just as he intended to continue killing all these monks, the young man's body shook, and a large number of flesh-and-blood tentacles spread out from him, each catching a monk and refining them on the spot.

"Good, good, good! Truly a good dojo! The flesh and blood are pure, the thoughts are pure. I don't even need to refine them; they can immediately become raw materials for my Gene Ascension body. How on earth was such a treasure land obtained?"

The young man was full of satisfaction. He looked at the other monks and then at the dense crowd of Sinners and Purified in the outer area, his eyes revealing a look of longing. However, when he tried to retract his flesh-and-blood tentacles, one of them was pulled by a great force.

Wu Wu Wu Pifu was pulling on one of his flesh tentacles, just silently watching the young man.

The young man was also surprised. The force on the flesh tentacle kept increasing. Within a single breath, it increased to ten tons of pulling force, but not only did Wu Wu Wu Pifu remain motionless, even the stone bricks under his feet did not change in the slightest. Instead, the young man was pulled into a stagger, almost being pulled over by Wu Wu Wu Pifu in return.

!

At this moment, the young man's expression changed. At the same time, Yao Meng, who was maneuvering in the crowd in the distance, shouted loudly, "Mr. Wu, this is the Chairman of the First Company! The company's Singularity Technology is a Gene Ascension body; it can use human flesh and blood to form a huge biochemical battle body!"

The young man muttered in his heart, but it did not show on his face. He just laughed loudly, "Biochemical battle body? How ignorant. That is the stuff of the Twelfth Company; it's just a pile of flesh and blood stacked into a cube. What biochemical beast? It's all a minor path. Even the ancestors of the demon race are gone; how can it compare to my Gene Ascension body?"

"Moreover, the so-called Gene Ascension body was just a term I made up to fit the scientific worldview when I hadn't awakened my essence. Its true name is..."

"All-Heaven Dharma Body!"

In a flash, a giant statue of a Bodhisattva appeared out of thin air above the young man's body. It was about ten meters tall. Although it was only the upper body, it had a majestic appearance, with three heads and six arms. One head was angry, one was happy, and one was calm and indifferent. The six arms each presented an image: two hands formed the Dharma-Protector Seal, two hands formed the Demon-Subduing Seal, and two arms were stretched out, each spanning twenty meters.

In a flash, the two palms disappeared from everyone's retinas, and two shockwaves appeared. When they reappeared, they had already slapped Wu Wu Wu Pifu between the palms. With a violent explosion, the resulting shockwave even blew away the flesh and blood on the ground. The Purified who were closer immediately vomited blood and flew backward, and the immense power even shattered the floor bricks directly.

"Namo Gatling Bodhisattva..."

The young man whispered with a solemn expression, but before he could finish a few words, his expression suddenly changed drastically. His body immediately retreated rapidly. Even while retreating, he reached out and pushed the seven people behind him. The middle-aged woman with glasses was grabbed immediately, and just as he was about to grab the refined, brutal man, the man rolled on the ground and grabbed a middle-aged man behind him. The young man grabbed these two and threw them forward directly.

At the same time, the two arms of the Bodhisattva statue that had slapped out exploded. A figure lunged over. Before he even got close, he reached out with one hand, and a burst of qi energy actually spanned twenty meters and landed on the Bodhisattva statue. The majestic Bodhisattva statue didn't even have time to groan. A terrifying, mountain-like force descended, and starting from its head, it turned into meat paste inch by inch. With a single blast, in the blink of an eye, the Bodhisattva statue collapsed, and this immense force pressed the middle-aged woman with glasses and the middle-aged man underneath.

With a muffled thud, the two of them didn't even have time to groan before they were crushed into mud.

Only then did Wu Wu Wu Pifu thrust his palm through the flesh and blood residue, continuing to strike toward the young man's face.

"I know how to save Chu Chu Minghao! I know how to save this world!!" The young man was terrified, but at this critical moment, he had a flash of inspiration, and the words immediately blurted out.

As the flesh and blood fell, splashing all over the ground, Yao Meng and the others in the distance, and the brutal refined man and others nearby, saw clearly.

Wu Wu Wu Pifu's palm was pressed against the young man's face.

It was only a hair's breadth away from his face.
