Chapter 1067: The Corpse Buddha (6400 bonus)

"This Underworld is, for once, rarely peaceful..."

Aaron rode a bone horse with Erha following behind, galloping wantonly through the Underworld, a faint smile appearing on his face.

The Underworld, as legend describes it in the Material Plane, is by no means a peaceful place.

First of all, it is because the gods of death here die too easily!

That is correct, gods of death are also very easy to kill!

Before the invasion of the gods of the Secret Teachings, the Underworld was once torn asunder, ruled by death gods of different races.

Later, it was only with great difficulty that a death god with Greater Divine Power unified the Underworld and barely established some rules.

Yet, there are still devils and demons who enjoy sneaking into the Underworld to abduct souls.

After all, to them, Soul Crystals are not just currency, but supreme delicacies.

At this moment, with a gentle wave of his hand, the skeleton of the Dakini Khachoma landed beside him, posed in a dance!

Aaron looked at Sangji, nodding and then shaking his head: "To obtain this brand, you will surely pay a painful price. Did your guru tell you about this?"

"Awoo!"

Of course, the gods of the Secret Teachings are different; they can forcibly compel believers to give alms... This Charnel Ground is naturally vast beyond compare!

'To rush over there is no ordinary difficulty!'

"That chosen one of the War God is trapped in the Southern Bone-Lock Charnel Ground, while I am currently located at the Western Vajra-Flame Charnel Ground..."

Aaron took a few steps through the air, blocking his path, and looked at him with a smile.

Seemingly sensing Aaron's killing intent, Zhaxi wore a ferocious expression and suddenly pinched a ritual gesture.

That mastiff let out a howl, instantly transforming into a demon, and began to Bite with the transformed Erha...

Zhaxi did not think that summoning a Dharma image would be enough to resolve Aaron, but merely spoke a threat.

"Maitreya, no matter what, you will surely die here today!"

Looking at those bone towers, relic pagodas, and flesh-and-blood towers... Aaron pondered for a moment.

Not only that, but everything happening in the Underworld appeared in his mind as clearly as looking at the lines on one's own palm.

Drops of blood-colored nectar fell from the Kapala Bowl of the Lord of the Charnel Ground, and the terrifying soul power contained within gave even Aaron a feeling of being 'stuffed'.

As a Disciple who had already been initiated by a guru and secretly implanted with a Spell-Binding, this person had no value and could be killed directly.

Sangji roared and hammered forward.

—Cloud-Climbing Leap!

'It would be best to have some help...'

"So, killing you is how one summons the Vipasyin Buddha?"

Aaron rode his horse, galloping through a Charnel Ground.

His speed received a terrifying boost, and a pair of tattoos resembling the wings of a Spirit Vulture slowly faded from his body.

"Impossible!"

At the moment his skull was shattered, he could not believe that this Buddha Son would strike so recklessly!

Boom!

"Garuda Protector Secret Mantra blessing? Already converted into a spell-seal form?"

The irony is...

Only after the descent of the Buddha of the 'Underworld' did this region truly attain eternal peace.

—Dakini Khachoma!

The moment he saw Sangji die, Zhaxi's pupils dilated: "Buddha Son... you... you have long since ascended to Dharma King?!"

"Buddha Son, you cannot kill me... My Secret Cultivation Honored One is the Dakini Khachoma. She is favored and doted upon by the Lord of the Graveyard and is his secret cultivation consort... If you kill me in the Charnel Ground, you will surely provoke that existence!"

Aaron, however, leaped off his horse in an instant and walked through the air.

Sangji roared, his muscles bulging high, and he instantly transformed into a small giant.

'And Zhuoma...'

The so-called Charnel Ground is, in reality, a graveyard for corpses!

After monks die, they offer their flesh as alms to the Charnel Ground, thus forming this sight.

When Zhaxi died, the Dharma image behind him did not dissipate; instead, it became even more terrifying!

The Dakini Khachoma seemed to come alive, her eyes rolling, and the crimson flesh on her body fell off piece by piece, revealing a pale skeleton form!

Once this skeleton form appeared, it instantly connected with the aura of the Charnel Ground.

Aaron's eyes lit up, and he acted directly.

"That Buddha of the 'Underworld'—'Vipasyin Buddha' divided the Underworld into eight great Charnel Grounds: the Eastern Tyrannical Charnel Ground, the Northern Secret-Work Charnel Ground, the Western Vajra-Flame Charnel Ground, the Southern Bone-Lock Charnel Ground, the Northeastern Laughing Charnel Ground, the Southeastern Auspicious Charnel Ground, the Southwestern Gloomy Charnel Ground, and finally the Northwestern Chirping Charnel Ground!"

Moreover, the gods also used the Underworld as a transit station for their respective believers, with God's Messengers coming and going, making it quite lively.

Seeing Aaron, the opponent merely smiled slightly, pressed his palms together, and recited a mantra.

"Today, I will surely beat you into a pulp!"

Just then, another monk in red ribbons and yellow robes was seen driving a mastiff in pursuit.

'This is also another side of me!'

Behind him emerged a female god of the Secret Teachings with a crimson body and a voluptuous figure!

But Aaron was different!

As he threw his punch, one item in his Divine Attribute panel was shining brightly—it was the Legendary Specialty—Order Strike!

"As a Chaos Evil Domain monk of the Secret Teachings, you are simply hard-countered by my Order Strike!"

"This damage bonus must be off the charts, right?"

Bang!

A Crushing Palm descending from the sky, carrying the bonus of Order Strike, directly caused Zhaxi to die.

Aaron looked at these two skeletons, his expression neither sad nor happy, his hands pressed together.

He let out a miserable shriek, turned around and ran, not even caring about the mastiff he had borrowed!

Aaron glanced casually at the increased experience points, and combined with the experience he had gained from basking in the sun during his spare time these past days, he directly raised his Secret Teachings Monk level to level 2, and gained another 1 free Divine Attribute point, which he added to Strength!

As a hidden class, the Secret Teachings Monk gains 1 free Divine Attribute point for every level gained; this is a huge advantage!

"Maitreya!"

Sangji stopped his footsteps, a pair of blood-red eyeballs staring fixedly at Aaron.

Aaron suddenly stopped his footsteps, because the pursuers behind him had already arrived.

Aaron, however, did not care much about him, his gaze looking toward the back.

"Chosen of War..."

"When His skeleton aspect meets the Vipasyin Buddha, this Buddha of the Underworld will transform into—the Lord of the Charnel Ground!"

"Can you run away?"

"Kacharma Dakini is actually also an incarnation of the 'Mother of Light Buddha'... so She actually also has the second personality of the original deity, and is at the same time a hidden key!"

The next instant, he made a few turns in mid-air, arrived behind Sangji, and threw a punch!

Flame Fist!

Bang!

Sangji's upper body exploded instantly, leaving only a pair of thick legs in place.

Even a Legend-level monk could not finish him off with one punch while he was in the state of being blessed by the curse seal.

From the center of the eight great charnel grounds, within the pure land of remains located in the middle, a square city of human skulls suddenly roared!

At this moment, all the creatures of the Underworld were trembling!

And before Aaron, a terrifying Buddha descended!

He was a humanoid skeleton without a shred of flesh on his entire body, stepping upon a Lotus Sun and Moon Wheel Cushion, his right hand holding high a human skull staff, his left hand holding a Kapala Bowl filled with fresh blood, and his head wearing a Five Skull Crown.

"I understand!"

Aaron's eyes suddenly brightened, understanding a few clues to the original deity's layout.
