CHAPTER 336: CHAPTER 233 ELDER MONK OF THE SEEKING TRUTH REALM

The halo of the Bodhisattva Path Fruit behind his head ignited with a blazing orange-red flame.

An aura of sacred inviolability and majestic splendor, coupled with an unparalleled domineering presence, arose naturally, shaking the heart.

Under the urging of Lu Ren’s Ten Earth True Qi, intricate patterns formed on his skin from tiny mystical dark golden runes. Faintly, a chanting of Brahmic hymns could be heard, causing an involuntary sense of shame and inferiority.

A pair of phoenix wings extended from his shoulder blades to his arms, poised to soar with Lu Ren’s movements.

Samādhi likened to Vajra, eight unmoving directions!

Regardless of how strong his power was, merely unfolding the Eighth Vajra Unmoving Land Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect was already incredibly impressive.

Samādhi likened to Vajra, eight unmoving directions!

Regardless of how strong his power was, merely unfolding the Eighth Vajra Unmoving Land Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect was already incredibly impressive.

Lu Ren, stretching his form, wore a relaxed expression on his face; this was his true form now.

Having not displayed the Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect for a long time, at this moment, he only felt a boundless surge of power rising within him.

It made him feel as if he could shatter a star with one punch.

But Lu Ren understood this was because of the rapid surge of power within him over a very short time, resulting in such a mindset.

However, with his current state of mind, he would need just a minute or two to fully master it.

"So, why do all of you take this as a matter of course?"

Before Lu Ren’s words even fell, he stepped forward, turning into a golden light, breaking the sound barrier in an instant, like a ravenous tiger pouncing into a group of monks from the Mani Temple.

"How bold!"

The elder monk of the Bodhi Institute, holding a Zen staff, took a step forward, with golden light bursting from his body, drawing out a golden lion to pounce fiercely towards Lu Ren.

Without a moment’s pause, Lu Ren charged with his shoulder, instantly shattering the golden lion into countless points of golden brilliance scattered in the sky.

Facing the elder monk’s astonished gaze, Lu Ren’s expression remained calm. As his palm fell, it was as if overturning mountains, crushing down in an instant.

The numerous protective golden lights on the elder monk’s body exploded instantly, and then his body and divine soul were totally shattered under Lu Ren’s palm!

"Ding, you have successfully killed the dean of the Bodhi Institute of the Mani Temple, and you have gained Skill Point energy."

Was it because after his realm advanced, the Skill Points he acquired were actually lower?

Lu Ren’s mind raced, his movements didn’t pause for a second. Every punch and kick brought immense terrifying power, like waves rolling with vast Ten Earth True Qi, being unleashed with the Real Buddha’s True Scripture as a peerless assault force.

These monks, either weaker than Lu Ren or those who had entered the Determination Path Realm, were not a match for Lu Ren, whose power was still rapidly ascending!

In just a few breaths, Lu Ren, whose mind was in a Super Sensing State, transformed his massive body at an incredible speed, leaving a slender golden line.

Nearly four hundred monks from the Mani Temple perished at Lu Ren’s hands.

"Buddha’s Son, it’s me!"

The young monk who had introduced and recommended him stood in front of Lu Ren, looking up at the golden body of the Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect he represented, trembling all over.

Lu Ren’s face was cold, lifting a foot and crushed him to death.

The summit of the Mani Temple mountain was already littered with corpses, rivers of blood flowed, and the square in front of the Buddha Statue was completely stained red.

Turning to look at Long Jia and Xuanzang, neither of whom showed any intention of intervening, instead, they observed Lu Ren with an oddly speculative gaze, causing Lu Ren’s eyebrows to twitch slightly.

What does this mean?

"If this makes Buddha’s Son happy, thirty miles away, there’s another branch of our Mani Temple, with twelve hundred monks for your entertainment. As long as Buddha’s Son speaks the Future Buddha True Scripture to me, all your requests can be fulfilled."

Pausing, Long Jia continued, "We also have three thousand Buddha Consorts for you to choose from, all types available, depending on what you need."

Lu Ren felt a chill throughout his body, especially seeing the peaceful smile on Long Jia’s face, completely unfazed by the six hundred monks Lu Ren had just killed.

Not only him, but even Xuanzang standing aside, and four old monks who appeared out of nowhere.

The aura emanating from these four old monks was utterly terrifying, though not comparable to Long Jia, but still quite frightening.

"Is this the foundation of your Mani Temple?"

Lu Ren, in the form of the Eighth Vajra Unmoving Land Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect, slowly moved his body, wanting to see, at this stage, how much he truly differed from the powerhouses in the Seeking Truth Realm, after stabilizing in the Determination Path Realm.

With every passing second, Lu Ren’s strength surged rapidly.

He still had a full 37 Skill Points, enough to elevate the Ten Lands True Scripture to the Perfect State of the Tenth Earth.

This was the most Skill Points he had ever gained.

This gave Lu Ren the confidence to stand here now, coping with four monks who had just entered the Seeking Truth Realm and one, Long Jia, who had been immersed in the Seeking Truth Realm for an unknown length of time.

This was the pinnacle power within the Beidou Emperor Star.

Upon hearing this, Long Jia smiled and said, "We, the Mani Temple, have finally produced five Bodhisattvas in the Seeking Truth Realm after a thousand years of recuperation. Even returning to the Li Luo Realm or the Beidou Realm, they are rulers of their own."

Lu Ren didn’t care what Long Jia wanted to say, he had already gotten what he wanted, and next, he just needed to thoroughly smash these disgusting individuals.

Seeing Lu Ren coming over without hesitation, an old monk standing behind Long Jia stepped forward.

In a single step, his spirit and will elevated infinitely at this moment, transforming into a giant Buddha towering over the sky.

"Mercy of my Buddha."

The old monk murmured softly, and a Buddha chant, akin to a lament, resounded, reverberating in the plains, its calmness containing an overwhelming will that could impact the human mind.

Unfortunately, under the system’s automatic shielding, Lu Ren was unaffected, taking a grand seven strides, his aura already boiling to an extreme.

I am Tathagata!

As Lu Ren’s punch blasted out, the heavens roared, air currents reverse cascaded, shaking ceaselessly.

It was as if it could shatter with that punch.

Then, glistening like white jade, a hand followed the old monk’s movement, penetrating the rushing air currents. Its jade-like five fingers unfolded like a Buddha Lotus, seemingly slow yet swiftly meeting Lu Ren’s larger-than-cooking-pot fist.

Buzz!!

The Buddha chant momentarily intensified grandly, and at the moment of striking, Lu Ren sensed an unrivaled, supreme aura dominating heaven and earth.
