Chapter 246 Ten-foot Golden Body, Radiating Divine Might

su heng let out a long scream, and a terror-inducing, exaggerated force swept across the sky. the air was instantly compressed into solids and dispersed, suddenly creating a suction effect that whipped up a raging wind. in the dimness, bodhi trees as thick as seven or eight meters were uprooted, and whole buildings flew in the sky.

it was merely a casual punch in his normal state, yet the gravity across the entire plaza seemed to be reversed, a sight incredibly horrifying.

boom!

the spot where kasyapa had stood was completely blown apart, turning into a black dust storm.

at the critical moment, his body shifted sideways, traversing the void and flickering to a protruding eave elsewhere. at the crucial moment, he still felt fear and didn't dare to take the hit head-on, avoiding the terrifying strike.

but even so, he had paid a price.

scratches appeared on the fair cheeks of kasyapa, oozing bright red blood.

"i take back what i said earlier; you are indeed extraordinary, no wonder those incompetent disciples of mine are powerless against you. even if it were a thousand years ago, during the founding era of the great zhou dynasty when powerful figures emerged like dragons, you probably could have made your own legend," kasyapa's voice eerily traveled under the moonlight.

he touched his face lightly with his hand, looking at the vivid blood on his fingers, then his tone abruptly turned cold, "but that's all you have, you cultivate the 'come tathagata's sutra,' are my spirit secret techniques ineffective against you? no matter, i can erase you just the same physically."

as he spoke, the serene smile on kasyapa's face disappeared.

he slowly grinned, revealing a dense set of white teeth, veins throbbing violently on his forehead and spreading rapidly all over his body.

experience new tales on empire

whoosh!

he flung his robe into the air, casting a shadow.

in that shadow, kasyapa's body swiftly expanded, exceeding five meters in a blink, his body full of explosive muscles, every throbbing vein as thick as a python. rolling heat waves surged on his body, then turned into a substantial white-hot mist, spreading in all directions.

"you are just a frog at the bottom of the well, not knowing the vastness of the heavens and the endless permutations of fate," said kasyapa as he confidently walked forward with powerful strides.

feeling the violent and surging power within, kasyapa was incredibly confident.

for he was now deploying the secret technique called 'ten-foot golden body,' a direct teaching from the buddha, invincible even in dire extremes, easily repelling demons. his golden body was undefeated, forcefully unstoppable. even among the immortals of the immortal realms, few could match him, let alone in this remote wilderness.

yet the reality was still brutally harsh.

"you're too confident," su heng said with his long hair disheveled, watching as kasyapa approached him aggressively instead of running away. he almost couldn't hold back a laugh, "if you had spent more time gathering information, i guarantee you wouldn't have made such a foolish choice."

su heng's voice was mocking, his lips curling up. ignoring the terrifying aura emanating from kasyapa, he simply threw a long punch forward.

"not bowing to the buddha, you're no ordinary demon indeed!" kasyapa bellowed, "be vanquished!"

boom!

the two struck at the same time, in a straightforward collision.

a terrible noise like the splitting of heaven and earth came from the battlefield, the surrounding space trembling violently, black lightning exploding. the ground first spread with cracks like shattered glass, then burst explosively, sending large clumps of black soil and rocks into the sky, rising hundreds of meters high.

"the legendary invincible golden body, is this all?" in the rolling black smoke, came su heng's boisterous laughter.

he stretched out a finger and pointed forward.

in the void, densely packed golden runes intertwined, forming a demon-subduing pestle.

su heng spread his five fingers, wide like the heavens, and with a single slap, he shattered the incoming demon-subduing pestle, letting it explode to stir up a fierce wind next to him. his slightly coiled hair fluttered, his expression was cold, and the corners of his mouth held a hint of a cold smile, "you say your vitality is endless, i don't think so!"

"hmm!?" kasyapa buddha's heart suddenly skipped a beat, a premonition of danger surfacing.

the corners of su heng's mouth twitched, and a terrifying, kind smile appeared on his face. his long breathing, the slow beating of his second heart, the high thermal energy hidden within his glands was pumped into his bloodstream. from the outside, golden patterns spread on su heng's body, and hot smoke wafted upwards.

roar!

a roar, like thunder exploding.

su heng recklessly unleashed his power, causing everything within a three hundred meters radius, whether buildings or the ground, to blast apart. countless air currents were instantly exploded by this roar, and terrifying shockwaves continuously exploded, turning the battlefield into a pit of inferno and abyss.

the self-confident kasyapa buddha, almost defenseless, facing this terrifying strike was even more tragic.

his body instantly shattered, as if countless sharp knives were falling on him. the flesh was first torn by the wind, then peeled off inch by inch, until only buddha bones covered in golden color remained. in the skull, within the black hollow sockets, flickered two glazes of fierce flames.

the jaw of the buddha bone moved, the voice seemed to come from the void, "how many times have i told you, such attacks are useless. you still refuse to give up, making some futile struggles."

shua!

his body once again ignited golden smog, shooting up to the sky.

determined to recover to the peak state, this time he planned not to hold back anymore, intending to employ his full strength to end this farcical war.

however—

kasyapa buddha's buddha bones cracked.

pupils flickering with firelight, even though only a skeleton remained, visible surprise could be seen, "what is going on!"

the usually abundant vitality was suppressed by an unknown force, the flesh on his body was regrowing, but the healing was very slow. and a feeling of powerlessness emerged within his spirit, especially since su heng was clearly standing still, yet he was still being harmed.

the golden skeleton had cracks spreading, like cracked porcelain, filled with a sense of fragility.

"that heart inside you... it's a bit peculiar." kasyapa buddha's gaze fell on su heng, the second heart emitting a dazzling golden light, piercing through flesh, and even if he didn't want to notice, it was hard not to.

the heart beat heavily and slowly, continuously emitting some substance, bringing him harm, severely weakening the undying nature above heavenly deceit.

thinking of this, kasyapa buddha suddenly felt horrified, "what exactly is this heart."

"wait a minute!" kasyapa buddha suddenly widened his eyes, recalling what the previous buddha mentioned that the king of demon country would also take action.

he had not taken this matter seriously before, but now, combining the current abnormalities together, he suddenly realized the answer to the problem.

"this is the heart of the golden crow!" kasyapa buddha's body shook, his eyes wide and even the tone of his voice became somewhat distorted, involuntarily raising by three degrees, "you installed the heart of the mythical golden crow into your own body!?"

"how is this possible! madman, monster!? what exactly are you!"
