Chapter 702: Bodhi
"I go!"
Chen Futu was startled to see that the decaying Buddhist corpses that had been drifting on the surface of the golden ocean in the Sea of Bitterness had all come back to life.
This scene was chilling. Even though these corpses were devoid of their essence and resembled piles of rotten wood, each of them possessed the strength of an emperor under the power of the Bitter Sea. In other words, the emperor corpses buried by the Bitter Sea over countless years were all enemies.
"System, can you collect these imperial corpses?"
No, they are connected to the Sea of Suffering; they are part of this world.
"So we have no choice but to fight."
With one arm around Xiao Li'er and the other hand, Chen Futu unleashed the Dragon Sparrow Slash, the rules of the Perfect Sword showering golden blood rain wherever it touched.
"What an eerie place."
Originally, a monk's blood should have been red, but after connecting with the power of the Sea of Bitterness, their blood turned golden.
The three were blocked by the Emperor's corpse, and surrounded by many powerful figures from Mount Sumeru. They were practically trapped with nowhere to go.
That's not all. Countless corpses are rushing over from the distant, endless sea of suffering. Not all of these corpses are Great Emperors, but even the weakest of them have the aura of a Saint.
"Never mind all that, let's fight our way out!"
Zhang Sanfeng also became fierce, pushing out his Yin-Yang Second Stage attack, causing the entire Bitter Sea to tremble and shake.
The Peach Blossom Goddess once again unleashed her ultimate weapon and fought alongside Zhang Sanfeng.
Chen Futu himself investigated the situation outside and found that, as expected, members of the Jia tribe had invaded the Bitter Sea from the outer area, and the battle was spreading.
If the A clan takes control of the battlefield, it will be an opportunity for the three of them.
"Father, there's something over there."
Xiao Li'er suddenly pointed to a certain spot.
Chen Futu and the other two followed his small hand and looked in that direction. The area was quiet, without any corpses, and appeared misty, yet a faint light emanated from the thick fog.
"Let's go!" Chen Futu felt that the mysterious Buddhist land the system had mentioned must be over there.
The three of them worked together to break through a passage. Then, Chen Futu unleashed the Buddha Kingdom in his palm. The enormous Buddhist and Taoist hand suddenly blocked the path behind them. Moreover, the power of the Buddha Kingdom in his palm was strengthened in the Sea of Bitterness, making it comparable to the killing power of a terrestrial immortal. This made it difficult for the Buddhist monks, who had gained the combat power of an emperor by relying on the Sea of Bitterness, to break through the blockade for a while.
The three seized the opportunity to enter the misty area, but after entering this realm, their senses were stripped away, and the light they had seen earlier disappeared.
"How could this be?" Chen Futu asked, frowning.
The Peach Blossom Goddess said, "It concerns our state of mind. Our beliefs are mixed, and we cannot see the way to the other shore. So the Sea of Bitterness is probably a divine artifact."
“Ah, the light is there.”
Xiao Li'er suddenly pointed to a spot, and the three of them looked again, but still couldn't find the so-called light.
"There's light over there, can't you see it?"
Little Li'er tilted her head, looking incredibly cute.
Upon hearing this, Chen Futu laughed loudly, "Children are innocent and can see through the fog. We are very grateful to have brought you here, otherwise we would have been lost here forever."
The three continued their journey in the direction Xiao Li'er pointed out, as if they had entered a maze. Xiao Li'er kept changing the location he pointed to, and it took them a long time to finally cross the fog under his constant guidance and arrive at a mysterious Buddhist land.
On a huge island, in the center stands a withered tree emitting a hazy light, upon which a strange fruit shines the brightest.
The light that Xiao Li'er saw earlier was emitted by it.
"It's a Bodhi tree, but unfortunately it's reached its limit and is withered beyond recognition," the Peach Blossom Goddess said with a look of regret.
Chen Futu asked the system, "Are you sure?"
[Replying to the host, it is indeed a Bodhi tree and Bodhi fruit.]
"Good guy!"
Chen Futu never expected that he would actually arrive at such a treasure land!
The Bodhi tree has the same innate roots as the Jianmu tree, and all its essence is concentrated in the Bodhi fruit.
Without saying a word, Chen Futu picked the only fruit.
The Peach Blossom Goddess said calmly, "In this way, we will obtain the Primordial Wood Essence, and the Bodhi Seed inside is an unparalleled opportunity."
"Does the goddess intend to compete with me for her?" Chen Futu asked with a grin.
The goddess said, "Although the Bodhi seed is a blessing, what I desire even more is the Rebirth Pill."
"nature."
Chen Futu accepted the goddess's favor and extracted the innate wood essence from the Bodhi fruit. He then planted the Bodhi seed beside the Jianmu tree, and Lizhou was sure to undergo a transformation.
Seemingly confirming Chen Futu's idea, as the only Bodhi fruit was plucked, the withered tree that had been radiating precious light gradually lost its vitality, and then wisps of black energy rose from the ground.
"The aura of the Ace Clan!"
Chen Futu and the other two were taken aback.
Little Li'er pointed to the ground, "Father, there's an uncle down there, he's about to come out."
"You can see that? Looks like you're quite extraordinary. As for the strange uncle you mentioned, he must be the Heavenly Demon General."
Chen Futu was overjoyed. By chance, he discovered that the Heavenly Demon was being suppressed here, but the most urgent task was to find the Rootless Water.
The three scanned the entire island and eventually discovered a spring.
The Peach Blossom Goddess exclaimed, "It is the Fountain of Youth!"
The Fountain of Youth is water without roots.
Unfortunately, before the three could get a closer look, the entire island shook violently.
Chen Futu's expression darkened, and with a wave of his hand, he severed the boundary using spatial rules. He took the withered Bodhi tree, along with the spring water and the nearby land, into the huge space where the abyss was placed.
With the rootless water and the innate wood essence in hand, the three of them had nothing more to do.
"The Bodhi tree has lost all its essence, the mysterious Buddhist land is about to appear, and the Heavenly Demon General will also emerge. We must retreat quickly."
Chen Futu decisively spent one million system points to exchange for a teleportation channel. The group rushed into it, and the moment the spatial gate disappeared, a deafening roar erupted! The entire island exploded, followed by terrifying laughter that swept across the entire Buddhist land.
"Finally, finally! I've seen the light of day again!"
It was a demon general who was over two meters tall, whose body was made of smooth flesh and bones. He had no skin, a skull, and eyes that flickered with demonic fire. Bone spurs grew from his back and arms.
"Damn it, who on earth has ruined the foundation of my Buddhist sect!"
Many eminent Buddhist monks gathered around the shattered island, but found no Bodhi tree, which infuriated them.
The Demon General twisted his neck, his skeletal mouth opening wide in a sinister manner, "Bald monks, your grandpa is about to teach you a lesson, are you ready?"
"Sixth Heavenly Demon General, hand over the Bodhi Tree!"
Several powerful Buddhist monks attacked together, but the Heavenly Demon General chuckled and vanished in an instant. In a flash, he appeared behind an old monk, swung his arm, and with a whoosh, the sharp, long bone spurs on his arm cleaved the old monk in two, head and shoulder.
The old monk's eyes were filled with confusion as he lay dying; even at the moment of his death, he did not know how he was killed.
