Chapter 931: The Collapse of the Buddha-Demon Golden Body! The Outburst of the Blood River!
In other words, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not bear all these sins at once, but carried them out in batches.
No matter how powerful the sins amassed by countless evil spirits, they could not withstand the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's infinite installment plan.
Luo Fu had just directly used his mind to trigger all the karmic debts owed by the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Among these, of course, was the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's karmic debt to infinite sins.
The remaining sins within the demonic body all began to erupt under the pull of karma.
Fortunately, part of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's sins had already been burned away by the Red Lotus Karma Fire, and another part had been eroded in the struggle against the Blood Sea Array.
In addition, all believers and evil spirits with profound karmic ties to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had been sent by Lady Pingxin to reincarnation.
If all these were still present, the karmic sins the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva now needed to resolve would have to increase several-fold.
The massive karmic sins were sufficient to directly crush the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's primordial spirit.
The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was not a Sage with boundless Primordial Spirit, able to ignore karmic sins.
Though not crushed by the karmic sins, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva still suffered immense pain and humiliation under their erosion.
All expressions on his face vanished, leaving only agony and contortion.
Nearly nine-tenths of his mind had been seized by karmic sins; the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could barely muster the mental strength to maintain his demonic body.
Under the assault of karmic sins, the demonic body continued to release demonic qi, and the sins within it had descended into chaos, losing all structural support.
The remaining Buddhist light also seemed to be eroded by demonic qi.
The entire demonic body showed signs of cracking apart.
If the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could not suppress the outbreak of sins in a short time, or halt the erosion of demonic qi, the demonic body would very likely collapse.
The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was well aware of this, but he had no time to suppress the sins or the demonic qi.
What he most needed to do now was suppress the twisted demonic intent eroding his Dao heart, brought on by the karmic sins.
If he could not suppress this demonic intent, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva would very likely fall into great demonic corruption within a short time.
If the demonic body collapsed, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva felt he could still endure for a while with just his physical body.
The Blood Sea Array was not adept at explosive force, and the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's body had been tempered to some degree, allowing it to withstand the erosion of Blood Sea power for a short time.
In comparison, falling into demonic corruption would have far more severe consequences.
Falling into demonic corruption is easy; returning to normal is hard.
Buddhist practices are already very close to demonic paths; if the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva chose to fall into the demonic path, he might sink into it permanently.
Between Buddha and demon lies only a single thought.
Returning a peak Pre-Sage great demon to normal—even if a Sage intervened—was no easy task.
If this great demon had sunk so deeply into corruption that even his original heart willingly embraced it, even a Sage could not restore him to normal.
