Chapter 238

"The heart-soul of the Aeon-Light Demon has extremely low resistance to pollution, including long-lived poison."

"The method this race uses to conquer time is through clever tricks like smuggling, avoiding, and transferring; the soul itself has not undergone essential transformation, so although it has accumulated knowledge that is extremely vast compared to other races, it has not mastered or digested it and requires containers to carry it."

"Once there is pollution inside the container and it cannot be changed immediately, they will die completely."

"The larger the volume, the harder it is to resist and break free."

"His soul will die one step before mine, and I will welcome a chance at survival."

These were the only ways out that Li Yu had peered into through the Truth Soul Body.

To find survival in death!

The race ability of the Aeon-Light Demon was too heaven-defying.

In this 【Eternal Graveyard】, corpses were piled up like mountains, and many corpses were far more powerful than Li Yu when they were alive.

But after stepping into the trap, they were instantly possessed by this Aeon-Demon and died in an incredibly stifled manner.

Although Li Yu locked his reason and heart-soul and could resist the exchange ritual, he could not resist the Aeon-Demon's forced occupation.

Thus, he chose to commit suicide.

In the sea of consciousness!

Li Yu's heart-soul was like a tiny person, watching the behemoth before him screaming in terror.

The glazed immortal body was polluted by the long-lived poison.

The outcome of lifespan termination and time stagnation also fell upon the soul within the shell.

The first to suffer was the Aeon-Demon.

Its heart-soul was too vast; it couldn't even move or dodge, and it was directly polluted along with the long-lived body, becoming dim and deathly silent together.

In those vicissitudinous eyes that originally looked down on all living beings from above, terror and doubt appeared in an incredibly rare way.

Clearly, this was something it had never experienced before.

It was afraid and struggled crazily.

But it was of no use!

From the moment it abandoned its original shell and performed the 【Exchange Ritual】.

Apart from heart-soul possession, it could no longer use any other means.

It couldn't crush the opponent's soul!

It couldn't break away from this shell!

It couldn't resist the long-lived poison!

The Aeon-Demon also seemed to realize that it was its own arrogance and stupidity that had destroyed its chance at survival.

Making just one wrong choice had led to such an end.

Low-sequence ones, needless to say.

And what the Aeon-Demon found even more unacceptable.

Was a scene it saw before the deathly silence:

The weak human before it seemed to be "studying" it.

Or rather, it was treating it like a book that recorded vast knowledge and spanned long ages, and was reading it quickly.

"Is it an illusion?"

"A human's life is but a drop in the ocean, a fleeting moment to my race; he couldn't finish reading the most insignificant part of my life even if he exhausted his whole life."

"He... can... not..."

The Aeon-Demon's thinking gradually solidified.

It was about to die completely.

As a member of the race that "conquered time," to die so carelessly at the hands of a seemingly weak and short-lived human.

Moreover, what it saw before it died was not an illusion.

Li Yu was indeed reading it, peering into it.

If it were Li Yu in his normal state, he would indeed only be able to finish a small part of the Aeon-Demon's long life even if he exhausted his whole life.

But now, he was not normal.

In the Truth Soul Body state, he was crazily absorbing the secrets and knowledge from the Aeon-Demon's soul.

"This is the true fortune!"

"As much as I can charge, that's how much I get."

Even the Aeon-Demon had died in the long-lived poison, so logically Li Yu should have perished too.

Unfortunately, the Truth Soul Body was just this overbearing; status suppression, ignoring pollution.

Of course, this had a time limit.

Li Yu himself knew deeply:

"In about two hundred breaths, when the time limit passes and I leave the Truth state, if the chance of survival doesn't come... then my end will also be death."

"No, that's not right; at least I can still trigger the bug a few more times, live for a few hundred more breaths, or a thousand breaths."

This conclusion of his came from his eye membrane.

The "twentieth Truth Bubble" that was charging rapidly would be full before long.

Once the nineteenth was exhausted, he could immediately use this twentieth, continue to peer, continue to charge, until he squeezed dry all the secrets in this Aeon-Demon's soul.

During this process!

Li Yu was invincible.

Poor Aeon-Demon, if it knew its soul was being used as a battery by Li Yu to extend his life, it would probably die even more desperately and unwillingly.

However, whether Li Yu could truly survive still depended on that ethereal so-called chance of survival.

In his rational state, he was not anxious because of this.

He continued to peer and charge without any errors, waiting for the verdict with absolute calm.

Almost at the same moment, outside the border land.

Because of the "Demon Star Descent," Wanfu City and the three forbidden areas were all incredibly lively at this time.

This festival would last all night. Just as a group of Evil Gods were watching the fun and all the citizens of Wanfu City were striving for the favor of the Demon Star Command.

In the deep area of the Ten Thousand Mystic Frozen Plain, the Great Snow Mountain.

An invisible and intangible terrifying malice descended upon this dark realm from the extremely distant void.

After condensing into substance, it was a Living Buddha Lama who was surrounded by emerald green light all over, like a saint.

The avatar of the Lord of Myriad Changes in the world!

Emerald Living Buddha!

Although the Great Snow Mountain was towering, grand, and shrouded in darkness.

But when this "Emerald Living Buddha" looked up, all secrets seemed to be reflected directly into His eyes.

Immediately, He let out a murmur that sounded like a surprised exclamation.

Under that emerald, tattered robe, within a pair of glowing, pupil-less green eyes, it was as if time were flowing backward, replaying every scene that had happened in the past.

This was a place where He had placed chess pieces.

It was a place where He had made arrangements.

Looking at them one by one...

What He should have seen was the 【Mystic Buddha Path】 taking root under extreme cruel survival pressure, evolving in the evil-fallen direction He had envisioned... eventually giving birth to a Mystic Buddha capable of harming the True God 【Buddha】.

But what He saw at this moment was: a Buddha-child descended inexplicably, and with great wisdom and great demon-subduing divine abilities, swept away most of the mystic anomalies, easing the pressure at the most critical moment, causing the "Sequence Five" that determined the direction of the Mystic Buddha path to deviate completely from the positive Dharma.

Had His calculation failed?

When He realized this, what appeared in those green pupils was not anger or dissatisfaction.

On the contrary, it was joy.

He felt the taste of conspiracy and calculation; this was the flavor He liked best.

Within those green pupils, the figure of the "Buddha-child" shrouded in layers of Buddha light was reflected again.

Accompanied by the night breeze blowing with a faint stench, a murmur that seemed to peer directly through the truth rang out:

"Is it a Buddha-child?"

"It seems... not."

When this whisper fell, emerald brilliance flickered, and the Living Buddha suddenly split into thousands of avatars.

In an instant, He trod every inch of the Great Snow Mountain and peered into the skull and soul of every wild folk.

With every breath that passed, one layer of the blinding Buddha light shrouding the Buddha-child's body in the Emerald Living Buddha's green pupils was removed.

Time passed bit by bit!

Watching as that Buddha light was about to be completely removed.

When Li Yu's true face was about to be exposed.

Abruptly, right outside the Great Snow Mountain, at the border with the 【Wild Folk Earth Cave】.

Accompanied by grand bell sounds, billions of rays of Buddha light erupted without any warning.

The entire Ten Thousand Mystic Frozen Plain!

Was stirred up because of this movement.

And Li Yu's main body fell into the hands of a forbidden mystic entity called "Thousand-Hand Buddha Mother."

In His eyes, there was another scene of time flowing backward.

What was reflected this time was a large number of wild-folk monks who seemed to have already attained the right fruit, carrying crude statues of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats, and in the sound of primitive, savage chanting, forming a missionary team, walking into the abyss-like 【Wild Folk Earth Cave】 without looking back.

On a level invisible to other living beings, a vast Qi aura called "Luck," or perhaps "History," was boiling and surging.

When the Emerald Living Buddha saw several rather unfamiliar statues among those Buddha and Luo Han statues, which were called by those wild folk by titles such as "Eternal Glazed Fear-Inducing Great Scholar" and "Great Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws and Calamity-Extinguishing Golden Lotus,"

In a daze, a vast Buddha sound resonated in this void.

"Many years ago, teams of wild folk came out of the earth caves, were educated by the Dharma, left ignorance behind, attained great wisdom and great liberation, and finally brewed the 【Mystic Buddha Path】."

"Influenced by the descended Buddha-child, the monks of the Great Snow Mountain made a great vow, willing to return to the abyss earth caves to teach the Mystic Buddha Great Dharma and save billions of wild folk."

"From then on, the wild folk race welcomed a turning point..."

This Buddha sound was actually declaring a major historical event, a major event that would change the historical direction of the wild folk race.

And the witnesses, besides the countless living beings in the light and dark of the Ten Thousand Mystic Frozen Plain.

There were also gods!

The most direct one, who was watching on the scene, was the avatar of the Lord of Myriad Changes, the Emerald Living Buddha.

The moment that "major historical event" took shape, the Buddha-child figure in His green pupils, whose Buddha light had been removed, officially became the descended Buddha-child, that is, the so-called Eternal Glazed Fear-Inducing Great Scholar and so on.

At the same time, He also seemed to realize that He had been calculated by the Buddha again.

In the foul-smelling night breeze, the murmuring sound rose again:

"Deliberately leaving the Buddha-child mystery to make me stay in this Great Snow Mountain to solve the puzzle."

"That's why I couldn't stop the missionary team from returning to the earth caves?"

Just as the Emerald Living Buddha spat out this strange Buddha sound.

On the dark Great Snow Mountain, above that Golden Peak, the phantom of another great witness was suddenly reflected.

His toad croak, which contained very obvious mockery, blew over with the night breeze.

Toad God!

This fun-loving god who enjoyed watching the interesting excitement of all realms blatantly dropped His projection over.

It appeared not far from the Emerald Living Buddha, directly mocking Him for losing to the Buddha in the conspiracy and calculation He was best at, without any avoidance.

"Annoying golden toad."

The Emerald Living Buddha was, after all, an avatar walking in the world.

Besides divinity, He was also stained with some worldly aura.

Therefore, He would curse.

At this moment, in His green pupils, besides joy, there was no more doubt.

Although He was proficient in calculation and conspiracy, He could not temporarily anticipate that the two powerful True Gods, the Buddha and the Toad God, would join forces to cover for a "human."

And He didn't expect that His calculation, which should have been successful, failed.

The key reason lay in the fact that the human, for the sake of a portion of immortality medicine, tried to deceive the Buddha in this realm on a whim.

A fine chess piece, actively delivered to the door.

How could the Buddha not use it?
