Chapter 185: Vajravarahi

Among the various evil ghosts and wicked spirits, one was indeed dispatched by a Dharma King.

It was not a local deity of Dexing that had been corrupted; its roots lay in Tibet.

This monster was somewhat similar to Lao Zhupo: a human body with a pig's head. It stood several dozen zhang tall within the Dharma Realm, with blood-red eyes and a drooling mouth. At the junction of the neck and body—the "seam" where the human body met the pig's head—was a circle of stitches, as if it were an Outer Path entity forcibly sewn together.

This pig-woman held a battle-axe in her right hand and a skull filled with fresh blood in her left. She had three eyes, and her fangs were tightly biting her lower lip, as if chewing on something. On her head, she wore a crown of five skulls, and around her neck hung fifty living human heads, all of which had mouths opening and closing, seemingly gnawing on something.

Scarlet blood-Qi transformed into blood-red flames, burning the void around this evil spirit of the Outer Path. Any other evil spirits or ghosts that approached were grabbed by it and shoved into its mouth to be chewed to pieces.

She stared fixedly at the temple, swinging the battle-axe in her hand, intending to cleave open the Social Fire barrier that had just been constructed.

The villagers were unaware of the situation, but suddenly, as a few children were running and playing, they stopped abruptly and let out eerie laughs.

Several others, light of spirit and weak of life, were also possessed one after another, revealing strange expressions and grabbing those beside them to bite them raw.

Zhang Zhenji and the City God Temple keeper were stunned: "What is happening? How could they be possessed?"

Xu Jia, standing upon the high altar, shouted: "All evil spirits, retreat at once!"

These demons acted as if they could not see Xu Jia, sensing the voice only as it descended from beyond the Nine Heavens.

Only the pig-headed evil spirit raised its head, locking eyes with Xu Jia on the high altar.

But what Xu Jia saw in those eyes was not this evil spirit, but the Dharma King of the Longevity Sect's secret ninja faction, who shared the vision of this Outer Path evil spirit.

This monster was "Vajravarahi," full name: Great Void Chakrasamvara Vajravarahi.

It was an "Out-of-World Dakini" bound by the White Hat Dharma King, a "Principal Deity" that had subdued the Three Poisons of Greed, Anger, and Ignorance.

To subdue this evil spirit, the White Hat Dharma King had to first take a mother and daughter, the girl no older than sixteen, force her to kill her mother, then sit upon the corpse and copulate with the girl. At the moment of supreme bliss, she would cut off the girl's ears and nose, then behead her.

She would take a prepared pig's head, hold it above her head, and chant incantations.

The surroundings required fifty dead corpses; she would take their skulls to make bowls, and take fifty fresh corpses of serfs just killed to arrange them in the shape of a lotus, using the aforementioned skulls as bowls to collect their fresh blood.

Then, she would personally use a Vajra axe to decapitate these fresh corpses and arrange them into a "View."

This would please the Vajravarahi, aiding in cultivation, helping to subdue the internal Three Poisons of Greed, Anger, and Ignorance, and attaining the "Wushihongguangshen," which is "Bardo Achievement," where the Primordial Spirit can gather or disperse at will, allowing for possession and reincarnation at will.

The White Hat Dharma King was actually a "woman," which was almost impossible within the TuboMizangyu.

Because only men could become supreme masters and study the Dharma.

And women were always the oppressed party.

From her eyes, Xu Jia saw tranquility, saw depth, and also saw a hidden, unexploded volcano.

This White Hat Dharma King had followed local customs; she no longer wore a white hat, nor did she wear those lama robes, but instead wore the kasaya of the Central Plains. She sat in meditation within a certain temple, releasing this Principal Deity.

Xu Jia let out a shout, mentally helping Xu Jidi consume the Wish Power Copper Coins from the temple niche of his past life, casting them into the Merit Box, allowing Xu Jia to borrow Earth Immortal Dharma Power out of thin air.

Vajravarahi rushed forward, her body filled with blood-red flames; this was the fire of rage, the "Anger" among the Three Poisons.

The battle-axe in her hand swung toward Xu Jia in the Nine Heavens, carrying the judgment of justice: all who oppose me are evil, all who do not believe in my Buddha are Outer Path.

This Xu Jia was clearly an Outer Path entity, and furthermore, this Outer Path entity did not seem that strong, merely putting on a show.

Xu Jia let out a cold snort, exerting his Earth Immortal Dharma Power, visualizing a Divine Transformation: "Who is it? It is Tianpeng!"

The Tianpeng that Xu Jia visualized was not the pig-headed Marshal Tianpeng meant to match this Vajravarahi pig-headed evil spirit; he visualized the Marshal Tianpeng from the Yonglegong Chaoyuan mural.

As Xu Jia visualized the Divine Transformation and chanted the Tianpeng Curse, his Dharma Power guided and summoned the evil ghosts of the Huohai Diyu and the ghosts of the Dao Shan Diyu, merging their forms to manifest a "Tianpeng Principal Deity."

This Tianpeng Principal Deity had three heads and six arms. With red hair and scarlet robes, he wore golden armor, his face ferocious, glaring with rage.

His six arms each held a Magic Tool: a Tianpeng Seal, an Imperial Bell, a battle-axe, a bow and arrow, a sword, and a halberd!

Xu Jia sank his spirit into it, as if piloting a mecha, controlling Tianpengyuanshuai as he plummeted straight down from the Thirty-Six Heavens. Tianpeng was one of the Four Sages of the North Pole, under the command of Ziwei Dadi; the general beside him was Zhenwu, later known as Xuantianshangdi.

At the same time, he was a great god of the Thunder Department, and his divine authority was also related to Fengdu.

At this moment, he moved with the speed of lightning, surrounded by clouds and mist, with thunder rumbling, making him appear all the more extraordinary.

When he landed on the ground, he caused a thunderclap in a clear sky in reality.

Xu Jia controlled the Tianpeng Principal Deity and charged directly forward, the three eyes of the three heads releasing thunderous light.

The six arms slashed and hacked in unison! Vajravarahi's half-human, half-pig face turned pitch black, with only her mouth and eyes turning blood-red. The fresh blood in the Kapala Bowl began to boil, then transformed into streaks of blood-colored curse seals, densely wrapping around her dark, fleshy body.

Facing the slashes of Xu Jia's Tianpengyuanshuai, she abandoned the battle-axe and instead used a massive Vajra Pestle, upon which five-colored divine light flowed. At the same time, low Sanskrit Sounds resonated around her; these sounds were emitted by the skull crown on her head and the necklace of fresh skulls around her neck.

"Om!"

"Banza!"

"Beiruozhaniye!"

"Halini sa!"

"Hum hum!"

"Phat!"

"Svaha!"

The two forces collided in the Dharma Realm, sparking brilliant light and deafening sounds; the space seemed to become distorted at this moment.

The surrounding evil spirits and ghosts were either injured by the Tianpeng Curse or harmed by this life-taking Sanskrit mantra.

Xu Jia sensed his Dharma Power burning rapidly; even with the power magnified many times over, it was still impossible to eliminate this Vajravarahi. Just from this brief exchange, Xu Jia felt immense pressure.

This Vajravarahi Principal Deity had been summoned, sensed, refined, and bound by the White Hat Dharma King with extreme care, whereas this Tianpeng Divine Transformation manifestation was merely pieced together by Xu Jia using the ghosts of the Fengdu prison from the Lushan Five Prisons Great Method.

"Need to end this quickly!" Xu Jia had already made a plan.

"Tianpeng, Tianpeng, Nine-Origin Evil-Subduing Child, Divine King of the Mighty Sword, behead evil and erase its tracks."

At the same time, he bit his finger and drew a Talisman on the high altar: "Lushan Beheading Evil fu!"

In an instant, the Talisman burned away, and a Beheading Evil Immortal Sword descended from the firmament.

The Centipede Dragon evil spirit had previously been cut in two by this sword, but the power Xu Jia summoned now was far less than before, nearly equivalent to the power of the original Heavenly Master holding the Immortal Sword himself. However, as a Human Immortal, plus the amplification of the Dharma Altar, it had a dozen-fold increase in power, barely reaching the level of an Earth Immortal.

But this sword was not strong when used alone; yet, once it fell into Tianpeng's hands, it possessed an unrivaled momentum!

With one sword strike, it seemed as if the Nine-Layered Milky Way were pouring down!

With a flash of silver light, Vajravarahi's pig head and human body were severed in two.

Afterwards, the form dispersed, intending to reconverge.

Xu Jia would not give him that opportunity.

He shouted loudly, calling upon the secret character Thunder Sound, "Hong!"

Immediately, the original Dharma body could no longer reassemble; Tianpeng grabbed the pig head with one hand, stepped on the female corpse with both feet, and burned it to ashes with thunder fire.

However, the next moment, this original body was still reborn within the White Hat Dharma King.
