Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Buddhist Transcendent Li Changhe (Seeking Subscription and Collection)

"Even now, you still plan to replace me?" Hailing Mountain gasped, grabbing the chains in one hand and holding a curved knife in the other, with lightning surging on it.

[Thunder Light Sword]

He didn’t attack Li Changhe, as that would provoke the hunting dog’s hostility, so he simply cut the hairs and chain.

"I take back my words of disdain for you all." Hailing Mountain looked at the figure who was struggling to move but was still dragged back into the Black Fog.

He shook his head slightly: "You are a worthy opponent. For your sake, I will let some human [Players] go. Let them sing praises and spread the word. Let all humans know that you once pushed me, Hailing Mountain, to the brink."

"Aaaah!" Li Changhe didn’t respond to Hailing Mountain’s words. The spatial fluctuations in both hands flashed wildly. He threw everything out, trying to break the Dragon Transformation Pool or escape the hunting dog’s bite.

But it was futile.

So painful, so painful. Girl! Box! I’m in so much pain!

Li Changhe grabbed the ink jade where Yun Ting was, and with difficulty threw it far away.

"Li Changhe!" Yun Ting’s voice shouted in his mind.

"Brother Ting! Please, take the girl and the box and run. I beg you!" Li Changhe’s mind was no longer able to think at this point, as the intense pain and regret caused his brain to be in disarray.

No more considering whether Yun Ting had the strength to take the two of them away. Once Li Changhe died, the host of the supernatural symbiotic body, how could Yun Ting survive? Even attached to the ink jade, how long could he last?

"God! If there really is a God, I beg you!"

Li Changhe felt his life coming to an end, whispering hoarsely, "I beg you... please let them survive."

This was a helpless prayer, as if there were gods in this world, there wouldn’t be so many tragedies.

"Well, the faith of you humans is really strange." Hailing Mountain chuckled, "God is just a higher power. Do you think he cares about you and me?"

But Li Changhe couldn’t hear anymore... He only saw the sutra box on his left hand glowing slightly, causing the surrounding black shadows to retreat a bit.

...

Li Changhe looked at the monk in front of him with a strange expression: "Is this my life’s lamp show?"

The monk nodded.

"Why can’t I see anyone else in my life’s lamp show? Just you, the stinky monk!" Li Changhe slapped himself while wearing the tattered Mountain Pattern Armor, but he had no injuries. The surroundings were completely dark as well... This life’s lamp show had no meaning at all.

The monk in front of him was... [Unseen Red Dust] or rather... Buchen.

"You really do talk too much." Buchen frowned, then shook his head, "What’s the use of praying to gods and buddhas? Neither gods nor buddhas can save you."

Li Changhe’s body stiffened, his eyes blood red. He looked like a monster ready to feast on people.

Finally, he sat on the ground dejectedly, "You’re right... I couldn’t protect them."

"I thought you would say ’To hell with fate’, roll up your sleeves, and just do it." Buchen touched his bald head, "Isn’t that how you killed me?"

Li Changhe fell silent... staring blankly.

"This time... I haven’t done it yet."

Buchen chuckled, "Fate... always likes to take away important things from you. But sometimes, it leaves a little hope behind. For example... me!"

"You? Not to mention whether you can come back to life, even if you could, I wouldn’t spare you. Even if you resurrect right here, you won’t be able to beat this guy." Li Changhe snorted coldly.

"Why should I help you protect your things?" Buchen said strangely, "I’m just repaying you with karma, that’s all. In our Buddhist school, we value this the most."

"Do you count as a Buddhist, having broken the precept against killing?" Li Changhe raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Hehe, there are no gods and buddhas. I am both gods and buddhas. I am the Buddhist school." Unseen Red Dust laughed angrily, "Li Changhe, we’re going to die anyway, so let’s fight!"

Li Changhe was taken aback, and an ancient burning scripture appeared in his hand.

Li Changhe remembered that the old monk had given it to him at that time, suggesting he take a look when he was free.

[Sutra of the Ten Wheels of Ksitigarbha (Incomplete)]

[Type: Consumables]

[Quality: Epic]

[Hidden Effect: 10% chance of activation when the holder is close to death]

[Effect 1: Become a Buddhist Transcendent for one minute]

[Effect 2: Recover injuries to a non-fatal state]

[Effect 3: Easier to become a Buddhist Transcendent after activation]

[Note: Higher chance than winning a lottery!]

It’s actually [Equipment], and if the chance is high enough, this could be a life-saving divine artifact for the player! Recovering injuries to a non-fatal state... isn’t that life-saving?

It’s powerful, but the odds are too low.

As for things like Buddhist Transcendents, they are all trivial. It’s like an experience card that lets you feel what it’s like to be a Buddhist Transcendent and makes it easier to become one afterward.

"This..." Li Changhe looked at [Unseen Red Dust] and asked, "You had this too, right?"

Li Changhe vaguely remembered that the moment [Unseen Red Dust] died, he seemed to have become a very strange existence.

"Yes, the Abbott had two copies, and I had one. Indeed, I became a Buddhist Transcendent in that instant. If I wanted to kill you at that time, it would have been as easy as turning my hand!" [Unseen Red Dust] said with a faint smile, "For that, I am very grateful to you... Seeing your appearance at the time reminded me that I should protect someone like you. So... I shattered my own internal organs. It’s best to die with that mindset."

"What about now?"

"Hahaha, I knew you would send me a message, and I knew the Abbott would give you the Ksitigarbha Ten Rounds Sutra, so I used a Buddhist cause and effect method. I lent you a helping hand, and from now on, you and I will have no cause and effect!" [Unseen Red Dust] put his hands together and said, "It’s better to rely on yourself than to pray to the gods! Li Changhe, don’t lose!"

....

At the same time, Mr. All-known in front of the temple was slightly startled and said to the old monk Abbott beside him, "Congratulations, Master, on gaining another Transcendent in your lineage!"

"Don’t make fun of me. What kind of Buddhist Transcendent is he? A Ghost Buddha? A False Buddha? With his temperament, he will never learn the Vajra Body. I don’t know what it will be..." The Abbott laughed and said, "Never mind, the cause and effect are over. Congratulations to the Transcendent!"

....

Meanwhile, by the Dragon Transformation Pool,

As soon as Hailing Mountain finished speaking, he saw the shadows surging.

That body, which should have been torn apart, slowly stood up from the Black Fog.

"Is it... an epic or even legendary healing potion?" Hailing Mountain thought with a frown.

Looking at the shattered armor and cracked mask on the opponent’s body, but the injuries on his body had mostly healed.

There was also an irritating luster and aura emanating from his body, which Hailing Mountain did not like.

Hailing Mountain said helplessly, "You are too difficult to deal with, aren’t you? Did you eat something like a [Nine-Turns Resurrection Pill]?"

"You’re right, let’s not talk about whether there are gods or not, even if there are, they wouldn’t care about you or me. We have to rely on ourselves..." Li Changhe patted the dust off his body, looked at his injuries. His ribs were still broken, and the wound was still there. It should have recovered to the point before being enveloped by the Black Fog... Not bad, it can fight!

Smiling at Hailing Mountain, he said, "Didn’t I just come back?"

The Black Fog couldn’t even get close to Li Changhe’s body. Those black shadows with red eyes and sharp mouths were repelled in disgust or disdain.

Due to the effect of the [Sutra of the Ten Wheels of Ksitigarbha], Li Changhe’s original [Jade Gold Likeness] Physique Features transformed into [Unbreakable Glaze Body].

[Effect 1: Suppress curse damage]

[Effect 2: Increase damage to non-human units (non-human units don’t want to approach you)]

[Effect 3: Greatly increase physical and Mysterious Series Defense]

[Effect 4: The powerful Physique grants you +2 strength]

[Note: Buddhist Transcendent, suppressing evil]

Meanwhile, the buffing time given to Li Changhe’s Physique by Zhu Hou and Luo Kai had exactly 60 seconds left, perfectly in line with the effect of Ksitigarbha Ten Rounds Sutra.

Thus giving birth to the current... Buddhist Transcendent, Li Changhe!
