Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

"May you ascend to greater heights and soon attain enlightenment!"

Flames ignited the sleeves of the woman in his memory, consuming most of her figure.

At that moment, the echoing wooden fish sounds in the Qinglan Buddha Hall suddenly stopped.

"No!"

Shen Hui suddenly rose to his feet, kicking the wooden fish in front of him to the ground, trying to grasp the hand of the woman in his memory.

My name is Shen Hui, inherently graced with Buddha's charm, carrying brocade in my belly and a lotus in my heart. Very early on, I had already become a Buddha's Disciple of Mount Daguangming.

Before this, people often mentioned me in the same breath as Zhang Daoyi from Dragon Tiger Mountain. Yet, in my heart, Zhang Daoyi has never been a worthy opponent, it's just that this humble Monk wished not to engage in such petty rivalry.

A flowing river never strives to be first; the struggle is to continue, incessant and unending.

My true opponent was the pride of the Dao Sect, that fellow known as Yi Chengzi, who rose from the obscurity of a decaying small temple.

This man possessed astonishing wisdom, rising from insignificance, he was the opponent of my lifetime.

Having a true opponent accompany you in life is a great fortune of the human world.

My name is Shen Hui, with the profound inheritance from Mount Daguangming, my cultivation reached the Breakthrough Limit Third Layer. Embracing the hundred lifetimes of knowledge of Mount Daguangming, I traversed through countless trials and tribulations, refuted many sages, and finally grasped the strength passed down from those ancient sages.

They, all of them, underestimated me~

Including my lifetime opponent, Shocking Pure Yang Yi Chengzi.

I, Shen Hui, had already unified thousands into one, subsuming the myriad thoughts under me, like Manjushri wielding his sword, cleverly severing the tangled mess.

However, I've always left 'you' as a lapse within my heart.

It's not that I, Shen Hui, couldn't, but simply unwilling.

If I truly were to cut you from my memory, then no one in the world would remember you.

That way, you... would surely be very lonely!

Suddenly, just as Shen Hui lunged forward, he found himself abruptly lunging at nothing.

There was nothing in front of him; where was Chun Ya? It was all but an illusion created by the demon of his heart.

At that moment, a foreboding thought crossed Shen Hui's mind.

Also at that moment, inside the Qinglan Buddha Hall, countless yellow leaves swarmed like hornets toward the Cultivation Body of Shen Hui, enveloping him tightly.

Outside the courtyard, the Heavenly Wind grew stronger, even blowing open the great door of the Qinglan Buddha Hall, and more yellow leaves flew in from the courtyard, wrapping around Shen Hui tighter and tighter.

Shen Hui promptly sat down cross-legged, striving to fend off the sudden onslaught of the Evil Force.

His shoulders began to shake violently, and his monk's robes were soaked with sweat.

The swirling mass of yellow leaves was so numerous, initially, the bright Buddha Energy penetrated through the gaps between the leaves, but as time passed, the emanating Buddha Energy grew weaker.

Finally, after an indeterminable amount of time, the Buddha Energy had completely vanished.

A Monk sat in front of the great Buddha, wrapped in yellow leaves, sealed and enclosed.

At that moment, suddenly, the water in the Lotus Pond beneath the feet of the great Buddha began to boil and turn red.

The blood-stained lotus and Blood Pool symbolized the coming of slaughter.

In the middle hall of Mount Daguangming, an old monk with white eyebrows suddenly opened his eyes.

"Not good! There is trouble at the Qinglan Buddha Hall."

"That is where Shen Hui resides and cultivates. Could it be... the Buddha's Disciple is in trouble?"

The old monk's Buddha Energy surged as he immediately dashed towards the Qinglan Buddha Hall in a flash.

Qinglan Buddha Hall.

The Tathagata was present but unable to dissolve the chaotic and evil thoughts in the Monk's heart. Suddenly, the yellow leaves enveloping Shen Hui fell rapidly, revealing the figure within.

That was a Monk who exuded handsomeness laced with an aura of malevolence. His eyes were sunken, with an odd crimson hue surrounding his eye sockets.

And his eyes were completely blood-red.

Suddenly, the immense Buddha statue sitting in the Lotus Pond began to crack. Cracks spread out, making a continuous clanging sound, and beams of golden light emanated from the cracks.

"Ha ha! It's all fake; you've all been lying to me!"

"You bunch of hypocrites, you've been deceiving me, using me."

"You killed Chun Ya, and now you want to use me."

"How could I, Shen Hui, allow you to manipulate me!"

"An Evil Demon's calamity, the collective karma of all living beings, purifying the world through slaughter, the Tathagata bears the sin!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

A tremendous Mana burst forth from Shen Hui's palm, slamming into the great Buddha statue.

Crack.

The head of a colossal Buddha statue shattered from above and fell into the blood-red waters of the Lotus Pond.

At this moment, Shen Hui was completely demonically possessed, his pupils drowned in bloody color, and with a grand gesture, a resplendent Buddha Sword emerged from the depths of the Lotus Pond.

The Buddha Sword, infused with Buddha Energy, turned blood-red instantly.

"Shen Hui... what's happened to you?"

"The Mortal World is like a prison; there is no Tathagata Buddha! Kill!"

The now demonically possessed Shen Hui went utterly insane, his vast Mana coursed through the Buddha Sword, and he swung his sword at the unsuspecting white-browed old monk.

"Ah~"

With a miserable scream, the old monk was cleaved in half on the spot, and then his head was crushed under a heavy foot, his blood and brains spilled all over the ground.

After his demonic possession, Shen Hui, who was nearly reaching the Fourth Realm of Breakthrough Limit, did not have a single challenger on Mount Daguangming.

Sword in hand, Shen Hui walked toward the more crowded areas.

He brandished his Strength recklessly; a shadow within him laughed silently with glee.

"Ha ha, keep killing, my little darling~"

"Once your Buddha Energy is exhausted, and you witness this scene, I will happily take over this body of yours."

"Let Mount Daguangming become the gift I present to His Majesty, Ha ha!"

At this moment, throughout Mount Daguangming, the fierce discordant noise had already prompted many monks to step out of their rooms, wanting to see what had happened, only to be met with a relentless descending butcher's knife.
