I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 159 - 158: Amitabha Buddha! I am ’Tang Xuanzang
Chapter 159: Chapter 158: Amitabha Buddha! I am ’Tang Xuanzang
Everyone was deeply moved.
Burning his Dao Practice.
This was a slow suicide.
Once his Dao Practice was exhausted…
…he would die, his Dao obliterated.
Therefore, Fazang was sacrificing himself to save the innocent people in the city, to save its inhabitants, to save all those who would be killed by the Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits.
This was true compassion!
“The Buddhist Annihilation Array was my idea to begin with. Everything that has happened is part of my plan. Now that the plan has gone awry, it is only right that I bear the responsibility alone.”
Fazang’s gaze was firm, revealing his true resolve as he stared at the Reincarnation Demon. “Even if I die and my Dao is obliterated here today, all you Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits will be buried with me.”
“Kill him!!!”
The Reincarnation Demon’s pupils constricted. He knew more words were useless; only a fight to the death remained.
The only question now was whether the Reincarnation Demon and his ilk would die first, or if Fazang’s Dao Practice would burn out before then.
One side was destined to fall.
“Senior Brother!!!”
Fa Ning’s voice was filled with grief.
“You mustn’t!!” Fa Kong also shouted.
“Kill them!!”
“We can’t let these Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits escape!”
“We can’t let Master Fazang down!”
“Kill!!!”
“…”
At that moment, Jin Chang and the others roared, giving their all. They fought with every ounce of their strength, truly inspired by Fazang’s immense compassion, and began to fight with no regard for their own lives.
Xu Qing let out a soft sigh.
“Young Master.”
Yan Gu was taken aback.
“Master.”
Kaya was also looking at Xu Qing.
“This is actually my fault.”
There was a hint of helplessness in Xu Qing’s tone. He glanced at the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish in his hand, then at the golden swastika formed by the Buddhist Annihilation Array.
He also saw everyone’s bloody battle.
After all, if Xu Qing hadn’t bought a Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish and then upgraded a Level 1 Clear Heart Wooden Fish to Level 20, Fazang’s plan would have gone off without a hitch. The Buddhist Annihilation Array wouldn’t have had a loophole, and everything would have proceeded exactly as Fazang had intended.
Even if the barely surviving Reincarnation Demon had appeared today, he would not have been able to escape his doom.
’How should I put this…’
Xu Qing shrugged. ’You have to take responsibility for your own mistakes. You have to find a way to make up for the wrong you’ve done.’
’Am I supposed to let someone else pay with their life to clean up my mess?’
’Obviously not.’
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Xu Qing took out the Evil Ghost Mask from his robes.
[Evil Ghost Mask Lv 20: 357,900 / 5,242,880 Experience (This Evil Ghost Mask was crafted by a Divine Woman who worshipped a Ghost God. Using the Ghost God’s skin, the souls and lives of 129,600 believers, and a special refining technique, it was Refined. Upon its completion, the Divine Woman’s soul merged with it, transforming into a ’Ghost God’ and nurturing the Extraordinary within. It can alter the user’s appearance and aura, making them undetectable even to other Extraordinary beings.)]
Clearly, after all this time, Xu Qing had been wearing the Evil Ghost Mask every day, gaining a large amount of Experience Points, so it had already reached Level 20 and couldn’t be upgraded further for now.
He took a deep breath and slowly put on the Level 20 Evil Ghost Mask. A Ghostly Divine Qi surged as a gradual transformation began.
The next moment, Xu Qing’s appearance had completely changed. He had become a clean-shaven, bald Monk wearing a kasaya, faintly radiating a Buddha’s Light. He looked just like an enlightened, high-ranking Monk.
DONG! DONG! DONG!!!
Xu Qing held the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish in his left hand and the Wooden Fish Mallet in his right. He gently tapped the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, producing a clear, resonant sound.
VMM! VMM!
Then, Xu Qing’s figure slowly levitated into the air. As Yan Gu and Kaya watched, a Buddha Lotus bloomed beneath his feet, carrying him into the battlefield.
“The Young Master is making his move after all,” Yan Gu said.
“Yes!” Kaya nodded. “With the Master taking action, everything will be settled.”
「On the battlefield.」
“Who’s that?”
“Is that?!”
“…”
Although Xu Qing’s entrance wasn’t overly grand, the sound of the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish spread continuously with each tap, affecting everyone present.
“This…”
“This sound…”
“My wounds… they’ve healed.”
GASP…
“My mind feels completely clear… I just had a breakthrough on the spot!”
“My heavens!!!”
“…”
Everyone present was awestruck and shocked.
Influenced by the sound of the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, they received various buffs that stacked, further enhancing their combat strength.
Not only that, the sound of the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish also had a suppressive effect on enemies, capable of weakening their power and even bewitching their minds.
Therefore, on the battlefield, the power of the Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits was suppressed once again.
This created a dual suppression from both the Buddhist Annihilation Array and the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish.
“That is…”
“Who is that?”
“It looks like another high-ranking Monk!”
“But…”
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen him before!”
“…”
Everyone noticed Xu Qing. The effect of the Wooden Fish’s sound was simply too great for them not to.
Jin Chang and Shang Mu, in particular, had met most of the high-ranking monks from the Little Leiyin Temple, but they had never seen the white-robed high Monk that Xu Qing had transformed into.
“This…”
“Dammit!”
“Another bald donkey!”
The Skeleton Demon, the Deceitful Lady, and the Great Demon Flood Dragon glared at Xu Qing.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Fazang was also stunned for a moment, but he sensed vast Buddhist Teachings and profound Buddhist principles emanating from Xu Qing, as if he were a True Buddha.
Involuntarily, a sense of reverence grew in Fazang’s heart.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing crossed more than half the battlefield, ignoring all the Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits, and arrived before Fazang. The Reincarnation Demon and the others didn’t dare to make a move rashly.
This was because the sound from the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, which Xu Qing tapped again and again, was simply too strange. Coupled with the awe-inspiring Buddhist aura around him, it was utterly intimidating.
In reality, Xu Qing’s own Cultivation Realm had only just recently entered the Triple Realm. The terrifying aura he projected came mainly from the various Level 20 items he wore.
For this appearance, aside from the Level 20 Copper Coin Sword, the Level 20 Wandering Dragon Sword, and the Level 20 Iron Sword, Xu Qing had brought all his other items.
And he had unleashed their auras completely.
This included the Level 20 Evil Ghost Mask, the Level 20 Soft Hedgehog Armor, and the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish. The effects of these three Level 20 items stacked, augmented by the Evil Ghost Mask’s disguise.
This was what produced such a stunning effect.
Of course, the most important element was the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, especially under the enhancement of the Buddhist Annihilation Array. This pushed Xu Qing’s imposing presence to its peak.
The Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish was originally a part of the Buddhist Annihilation Array, but after repeated upgrades, it had completely transformed.
But that didn’t matter.
Xu Qing, wielding the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, was able to use its Mighty Power to faintly connect with the Buddhist Annihilation Array.
In fact, Xu Qing had a feeling that if he were to integrate the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish in his hand into the array’s loophole, completing the Buddhist Annihilation Array,
then he would be able to seize control of the Buddhist Annihilation Array from Fazang and even increase its Mighty Power several times over.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Xu Qing arrived in front of Fazang with a slight smile on his face. “I am the monk ’Tang Xuanzang’. I am traveling through the Great Zhou and happened to pass by this place today. Seeing this tragedy, I could not bear to see living beings suffer, so I have revealed myself.”
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Fazang’s expression was one of sudden realization. He bowed to Xu Qing, his tone respectful. “Eminent Monk, I am Fazang. Your willingness to intervene is a great fortune for the common people.”
“Mm.”
Xu Qing nodded. “You may stand down.”
“Yes.”
Fazang didn’t ask any questions or say anything more. Faced with Xu Qing’s command, he didn’t offer to help but simply obeyed, retreating to the rear.
“Senior Brother.”
Fa Ning came over and asked with concern, “How are you?”
“I’m fine.”
Fazang shook his head. “I’ve only lost some Dao Practice. I just need to cultivate it back.”
“Senior Brother, you were too reckless,” Fa Kong added.
“Say no more.”
Fazang waved his hand dismissively.
At this moment on the battlefield,
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Xu Qing’s expression was calm as he stood in the very center of the battlefield. The golden swastika formed by the Buddhist Annihilation Array hung high above him.
“You Demon Fiends have committed countless evils and poisoned living beings. It is only right that you face this tribulation,” Xu Qing said.
“And where did you come from?”
The Great Demon Flood Dragon roared, its Demon Qi soaring to the heavens, its baleful aura immense. “Bald donkey! Let me give you some advice. Hurry up and take down this array so we can leave. Otherwise, once we join forces and break your array, we’ll eat you alive!”
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Xu Qing put his palms together and spoke calmly, “I am ’Tang Xuanzang’. My dharma name is ’Xuanzang’, and my title is ’Tripitaka’. Many people also call me ’Tang Monk’.”
“I have come from the ’Eastern Tang Dynasty’ to seek scriptures from the Buddha in the Western Heaven. While traveling through the Great Zhou, I passed by this place and witnessed you all poisoning living beings.”
“What nonsense is this?”
The Reincarnation Demon and the others were stunned. “Eastern Tang Dynasty? Never heard of it. Seeking scriptures from the Buddha in the Western Heaven? Are you telling some kind of joke?”
In fact, it wasn’t just the Reincarnation Demon and his cohort.
Even Fazang, Jin Chang, and the others present were baffled when they heard Xu Qing’s words. They couldn’t even quite understand what he was talking about.
“Enough of your nonsense,” the Great Demon Flood Dragon roared. “I’d like to see what you’re capable of.”
ROAR!!!
The moment its voice fell, the Great Demon Flood Dragon was the first to attack Xu Qing. It opened its mouth and roared out a breath of draconic energy, which formed a vast, blazing Dragon Flame that blasted toward him.
“Wretched beast!”
Xu Qing looked up and raised his right hand. The Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish shot into the air, flying straight into the golden swastika and merging with it.
BOOM!!!
In that instant, the Buddhist Annihilation Array was complete. Xu Qing’s mind trembled as his consciousness connected with the entire array, and a boundless, majestic power descended upon him.
“Tathagata Divine Palm!”
BOOM!
Without hesitation, a thought flashed through Xu Qing’s mind. He raised his right hand, locked onto the Great Demon Flood Dragon, and brought his palm down.
