Chapter 60: Reward Body Initially Takes Shape, Western Demonic Qi Erupts!

A single thought of good and evil!

A single thought of Buddha and demon!

A single thought of eternity!

In short, with this Great Heart Demon Technique, a single thought can encompass all things, as if boundless and endless.

This method can even be said to be one of the top-tier dharma gates currently under Chen Ku's control.

His mind involuntarily became completely immersed in it.

His understanding grew ever clearer, while the aura of the Dao around him became more vast and profound, deep as an abyss, unfathomable.

Suddenly, the Three-Bodies Buddha Law began to operate on its own.

Behind Chen Ku, beside his original Dharma Body, a phantom huge figure emerged.

Seeing this, Chen Ku was overjoyed.

"Is this... the Reward Body?!"

He never expected that this time's comprehension of the Great Heart Demon Technique would actually greatly enhance the Three-Bodies Buddha Law.

This Reward Body has already taken initial shape!

For a moment, Chen Ku calmed his mind and focused, continuing his contemplation of the Dao without distraction, trying to condense the Reward Body into completion in one go.

But after a long while, Chen Ku furrowed his brows.

In the dark, that kind of mysterious and profound opportunity seemed ultimately not mature enough.

In his contemplation of the Dao, he also faintly lacked just a thread.

But it was precisely this slight imperfection that caused the illusory Reward Body to finally explode and dissipate into nothingness.

Instantly, Chen Ku's face fell.

"Has it failed again?"

"Ah... suffering, suffering!"

"Just half a step away, and I would reach mid-stage Grand Primordial Golden Immortal, truly able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with top-tier Primordial Great Abilities."

Chen Ku sighed regretfully, feeling deep regret.

Although the Grand Primordial Golden Immortal is not weak, compared to other top-tier Primordial Great Abilities there remains a slight gap.

Or put another way, if other Great Abilities were to act, relying on their realm or other means to compensate, they could still fight Chen Ku.

But if he could condense the Reward Body, he would in one fell swoop advance to the mid-stage Grand Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

Then Chen Ku's strength would inevitably undergo a tremendous transformation, incomparable to his present state.

This is precisely the distinction of the Grand Primordial Dao: each small realm's advancement is like a fundamental nirvana, a startling improvement.

But after only a moment, he gathered his scattered thoughts and stopped dwelling on it.

Regardless, the Reward Body has already taken initial shape; later, only a single opportunity is needed for it to truly form.

Before he could think further about anything.

Boom—rumble—rumble!

Suddenly, in the outside world, tremendous heavenly sounds burst forth, deafening.

At the same time, waves of sinister and violent aura swept in; though invisible to the eye, they made one's hair stand on end and chilled to the bone.

"Mm... is the demonic aura acting up again?"

"Once every ten thousand years, endless and unceasing."

"Rahu, Rahu, you truly have created immense karma."

Chen Ku understood clearly in his heart and couldn't help muttering to himself.

In the western heavens and earth, originally the stronghold of Rahu, endless resentment and demonic qi gathered here, never dispersing through the ages.

Especially after Rahu's demise, it seemed to have detonated the western endless resentment.

Every ten thousand years, the towering demonic qi erupts once, disturbing the western realms and unsettling all living beings.

Once caught within it, those lacking strength will be assimilated by the endless resentment, completely turning demon, certain to die.

This is also one of the reasons for the decline of living beings in the west.

Over endless ages, untold numbers of living beings have already become part of that resentment.

Even if the resentment is sufficiently massive and strong, its fusion can also trigger a minor Great Calamity storm, which is even more terrifying—a life-and-death horror that could spread across hundreds of millions of miles.

With such tremendous commotion raging on, Chen Ku naturally could not peacefully contemplate the Dao.

Feeling the surging resentment in the dark, Chen Ku's brows slightly furrowed.

"This time... the commotion seems somewhat too great."

"Could it be because Rahu's remnant soul perished, resonating with those souls lingering for myriad ages?"

He whispered to himself.

Before, Chen Ku had also witnessed the sight of a demonic aura eruption.

Although it looks fearsome, for his Grand Primordial Golden Immortal cultivation it is insufficient to produce any effect—merely some noise.

But this time, deep inside Chen Ku he already felt a chill invading his body, hard to dispel.

More importantly, the Purple Micro Divination Great Divine Ability also began to operate on its own, displaying its function of avoiding misfortune and seeking good fortune.

Therefore, Chen Ku surmised that it was due to the final demise of Rahu's remnant soul causing this influence.

Although the Demon Ancestor is dead, he can still bring harm for myriad ages.

Strange!

Truly strange!

This demonic aura eruption surpasses any previous one.

"Could it be... that it intends to form a Great Calamity storm?!"

After pondering for a moment, Chen Ku simply rose to his feet.

He took a step forward, walked straight out of his own dojo, stood in the outside world, and finally saw clearly the scene of this demonic qi eruption.

Gazing into the distance, he saw that to the west of Sumeru Mountain, demonic qi already surged wildly, blocking the sky and covering the sun.

All scenery was invisible; even the stars filling the sky were wrapped in demonic qi, hidden in the void.

Gloomy!

Terrifying!

In his view, the demonic qi spanned ten million zhang in width, undulating up and down, intertwining and outlining.

Chen Ku's eyes were sharp, bursting with bright light; he clearly saw that within the sky-covering demonic qi, countless illusory, nearly transparent silhouettes stretched across.

Each one had a twisted visage, hideous and terrifying!

Gap after gap of blood-filled maws opened wide, as if enduring some unspeakable great pain, thereby emitting mournful wails and roars.

Whoo...

Whoo...

Gusts of yin wind swept past, forming wave after wave of void-roaring sounds beside Chen Ku's ears, making listeners' scalps go numb.

Even though daylight shone, it gave a feeling of terror like a hundred ghosts walking at night.

"As expected!"

"This demonic qi eruption is truly terrifyingly excessive."

Chen Ku no longer had the leisure to ponder whether all this was truly caused by Rahu.

What mattered was that the sky-filling demonic qi slowly pressed down, seemingly about to fall into Sumeru Mountain.

Chen Ku's heart stirred greatly, and his entire body's mana began to move of its own accord.

Previously, relying on the Eight Treasure Merit Pool and planting numerous spiritual roots, with great difficulty he had managed to restore Sumeru Mountain to a somewhat peaceful and sacred immortal's blessed land.

If it were to be swept away by the demonic qi, all his efforts would come to naught.

Therefore, he could not simply stand by and do nothing!

"Huh... Master, Uncle Master, haven't you noticed?!"

"Or perhaps they two have immersed themselves in Hongmeng Purple Qi, cutting off all perception of the outside world?"

Chen Ku stared intently for a moment, yet saw no trace of aura emanating from Sumeru Mountain.

Obviously, Jieyin and Zhunti had not sensed this terrifying outside scene at this time.

After a moment's thought, Chen Ku immediately decided not to disturb his own master and uncle-master.

After all, for them to attain the Dao and become sages as soon as possible is what matters most.

Thus, the only option left was for him to act himself and quell this endless demonic qi.

With this thought, Chen Ku's expression suddenly became resolute.

His aura surged mightily, seizing hearts and souls!

He stepped forward, and at the same instant, Chen Ku's form underwent a drastic change.

Infinite golden light burst forth, emanating from every inch of his flesh and blood.

Chen Ku's holy countenance was solemn and majestic; above his head, ten zhang of Buddha light suddenly arose, extraordinarily divine.

The Buddha's Golden Body manifested, causing him to completely transform into the Buddha's Dharma form.

Under the Buddha's light, all yin and evil forces retreated three leagues, and no law could invade.

Thereafter, Chen Ku hesitated no more, stepped forward, pierced the void, and directly entered that boundless, endless torrent of demonic qi.
