A sea of blood, a sky filled with a sea of blood.
Evil, endless evil.
When the sky-filling sea of blood boiled, when the endless evil roared.
Gu Qingfeng was no longer Gu Qingfeng.
He had transformed into a colossal monster!
Three heads, six arms, nine eyes.
A body taller than Mount Sumeru, standing atop the sea of blood.
One head resembled a true Buddha, hands clasped together, three eyes slightly closed, expression solemn, seeming both compassionate and pitying, surrounded by flickering Buddha Light, like the radiance that enlightens heaven and earth.
One head resembled a true God, arms crossed, three eyes slightly closed, expression aloof and proud, seeming both disdainful and supremely domineering, enveloped in what seemed like divine light, like the radiance that rules heaven and earth.
And one head resembled a true Demon, arms flailing wildly, also with three eyes slightly closed, expression evil, seeming both violent and cruel, enveloped in demonic light, like the radiance that destroys heaven and earth.
Gazing at this colossal three-headed monster, Fa Zheng and the other Buddhas who had been hiding inside the Demon-Subduing Seal were already paralyzed on the ground, faces deathly pale, trembling uncontrollably as if they had seen ghosts and gods.
Ghosts and gods?
No!
At least Da Xing the Mad Monk knew that the thing Gu Qingfeng had transformed into was absolutely more terrifying than ghosts and gods, a thousand, ten thousand times more terrifying!
"Three faces, three aspects; six arms, six aspects; nine eyes, nine realms... This is...
This truly is the Avici Uninterrupted Evil Asura!"
"Buddha above..." Da Xing the Mad Monk collapsed to the ground with a thud.
As a Buddha of the Chan Sect, Da Xing the Mad Monk naturally knew what kind of terrifying existence the Avici Uninterrupted Evil Asura represented.
Evil.
That's right!
It was evil.
And moreover, the paramount leader of evil between heaven and earth!
Seeming like Buddha yet not Buddha, but the evil Buddha among Buddhas!
Seeming like Demon yet not Demon, but the evil Demon among Demons!
Seeming like God yet not God, but the evil God among Gods!
Seeming like Buddha, yet more compassionate than any Buddha!
Seeming like Demon, yet more violent than any Demon!
Seeming like God, yet more arrogant than any God!
At this moment, Da Xing the Mad Monk finally understood why Gu Qingfeng could blood-sacrifice Purgatory, and finally knew why he could summon endless wraiths!
Because the Avici Uninterrupted Evil Asura rules over Purgatory!
It is the Lord of Purgatory!
The absolute sovereign worshipped by endless wraiths!
Heavens!
Da Xing the Mad Monk forgot to breathe, forgot to think, forgot fear, forgot horror, even forgot that he himself was still a Buddha.
Completely stunned by the scene before him, he forgot everything.
He knew.
Da Xing the Mad Monk finally knew, but he did not know why Gu Qingfeng could transform into the Avici Uninterrupted Evil Asura, nor why he possessed the Wrath Incarnation of the Avici Uninterrupted Evil Asura!
This was an existence tabooed by the Three Thousand Great Daos, by Gods, Demons, Buddhas, and even heaven and earth!
Taboo?
Thinking of the word 'taboo,' Da Xing the Mad Monk suddenly recalled the divination the Chan Sect's founding ancestor had performed for Gu Qingfeng using the Ancient Chan Buddha-Heart Sutra. The founding ancestor said he was a taboo, an inversion.
Could it be that the taboo the Chan Sect's founding ancestor spoke of was the Avici Uninterrupted Evil Asura?
He did not know.
Da Xing the Mad Monk truly did not know. He just watched, his thoughts frozen, his mind blank, his soul trembling as he watched.
"Blood-sacrifice Purgatory, wraiths worship!"
Gu Qingfeng, transformed into the Avici Uninterrupted Evil Asura, leaped up, flashing to stomp atop the head of the Wrath Incarnation of Great Sun Tathagata.
Instantly, the entire world became a world of bloody Purgatory, with countless wraiths kneeling on the ground, beginning to worship.
This scene was truly peerless through the ages!
Endless wraiths worshipping, the sky-filling sea of blood boiling and burning!
"I am the True Buddha, there are no Demons under heaven."
Gu Qingfeng, transformed into the Avici Uninterrupted Evil Asura, the three eyes on one head suddenly opened. That was a head that seemed like Buddha yet not Buddha. When the eyes opened, one eye was compassionate, one eye was holy, one eye... The arms stretched out, slowly clasping together, bringing forth endless afterimages and endless Buddha Light, enveloping the Wrath Incarnation of Great Sun Tathagata!
"I am the True Demon, what can Buddha do to me!"
Gu Qingfeng, transformed into the Avici Uninterrupted Evil Asura, the three eyes on the second head opened. That was a head that seemed like Demon yet not Demon. When the eyes opened, one eye was violent, one eye was cruel, one eye was ferocious. The arms flailed wildly, claws bared, also bringing forth endless demonic light, enveloping the Wrath Incarnation of Great Sun Tathagata!
"I am the True God, I rule over all!"
Gu Qingfeng, transformed into the Avici Uninterrupted Evil Asura, the three eyes on the third head opened. That was a head that seemed like God yet not God. When the eyes opened, one eye was disdainful, one eye was supremely domineering, one eye was sovereign. Arms crossed, also bringing forth endless divine light, once again enveloping the Wrath Incarnation of Great Sun Tathagata!
That Buddha Light was the radiance that purifies all!
That demonic light was the radiance that destroys all!
That divine light was the radiance that rules all!
Seeming like Buddha chants, like Demon howls, like God cries!
The triple radiance of Buddha, Demon, and God enveloped the Wrath Incarnation of Great Sun Tathagata, rendering it not only immobile but also causing this world to tremble violently!
Da Xing the Mad Monk, hiding inside the Demon-Subduing Seal, watched this scene, horrified and terrified, screaming inwardly: What is he doing!
What does he want to do!
Just then, a Buddha Source appeared in the firmament above. It was the judgment of Buddha, the purification of Buddha!
One, two, ten, a hundred...
One after another, Buddha Sources condensed and manifested, blooming with Buddha Light to envelop Gu Qingfeng, transformed into the Avici Uninterrupted Evil Asura. Clearly, the Buddhas of the Western Pure Land were also afraid, willing to violate the order of heaven and earth to judge and purify Gu Qingfeng!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
No one knew how many Buddha Affinities appeared in the sky, nor how many purifying Buddha Lights enveloped Gu Qingfeng!
Yet!
Gu Qingfeng, transformed into the Avici Uninterrupted Evil Asura, fearless and unafraid, stomped atop the head of the Wrath Incarnation of Great Sun Tathagata. The Buddha Light around him that enlightened all grew even stronger, the demonic light that destroyed all, the divine light that ruled all also became increasingly potent!
"In this life, we are born free. Who dares to stand high above?"
"If heaven presses me down, I shall pierce that heaven."
Boom!
The firmament of the world shattered!
"If earth constrains me, I shall shatter that earth."
Boom!
The great earth of the world crumbled away!
"If I achieve glory, I shall be more rampant than all."
Whoosh!
In an instant!
The sky-filling Buddha Light, like sky-filling Buddhas!
The sky-filling demonic light, like sky-filling Demons!
The sky-filling divine light, like sky-filling Gods!
"My fate is my own, not heaven's."
Rumble—Crack!
The sky-filling Buddha Light, demonic light, and divine light intertwined and crisscrossed. Buddha contained Demon, Demon contained Buddha, Buddha was Demon, Demon was Buddha, God was Buddha, God was Demon!
Who knew whether it was God, Demon, or Buddha!
Only that the sky-filling Buddha Sources trembled and disintegrated!
"I want this heaven to no longer be able to blind my eyes."
"I want this earth to no longer be able to bury my heart."
"I want all living beings to understand my will, I want all Buddhas to vanish like smoke!"
Boom!
A sound of silence, truly a sound of silence.
Everything vanished at this moment.
The countless Buddha Sources were.
This world was.
This space was.
This time was also...
All vanished like smoke...
As if they had never appeared.
The entire heaven and earth instantly fell silent...
Silence.
Utter silence.
There was nothing...
Everything, everything was disappearing...
