CHAPTER 760: CHAPTER 328: LIFE-AND-DEATH STRUGGLE

"Borrow the power of stars, resist corruption."

As the stars moved, they scattered a vast array of starlight, penetrating through the apertures of the metropolis, shielding with star coverings, and blocking the corruption inherent in the plants of the human world.

"You can borrow the power of stars, but stars are merely stars. How dare they vie for brilliance with the Bright Moon and Fierce Sun."

"The fifth realm of natural law—Reillumination of Sun and Moon, Rebuilding Mountains and Rivers."

The God of Suffering had already given his all, dispersing his will into each of the Dharma Bodies, which one after another crashed into the rooftops of the metropolis, ruthlessly tearing open the Western-style, heavily-funded ceilings, allowing heavenly light and starlight to pour unobstructed into the hall.

Star Covering said coldly, "God of Suffering, with your current cultivation, using the fourth realm of natural law is already at the end of your strength, wanting to exert the fifth level of Reillumination of Sun and Moon? It’s like a fool’s dream."

"That’s why I must gamble with my life."

The God of Suffering, holding a Golden Alms Bowl, once more recalled the past.

In the past, with a single Reillumination of Sun and Moon, he could scatter the glory of the Fierce Sun and Bright Moon over a thousand miles, within those thousand miles, under the reillumination, he was an invincible embodiment,

not only could the brilliance reach far and wide, but it was also not too taxing on his will to accomplish this, unlike now, where just executing it requires using his life as fuel, to uphold the reillumination of Rebuilding Mountains and Rivers.

"Poof!"

A muffled sound echoed,

the God of Suffering’s right hand plunged into his chest, then tore it open, removing his stomach and intestines, and began to pray,

"Sacrifice the five organs, awaken the reillumination, sun and moon suddenly rise, Xuan Tian intersects."

The God of Suffering, the highest faith of the Bone Elder Association, his orthodox lineage being the Praying Sect, now he uses his organs to pray, to borrow the power of the Fierce Sun and Bright Moon.

In the mysterious void, the moon and Fierce Sun seemed to sense his call, the five organs cradled in his hands were being nibbled away bit by bit,

as the sacrificial organs rapidly disappeared, the moon appeared in the sky of Mingjiang Prefecture.

The blazing light of the Fierce Sun poured down,

while the moonlight rippled gently like water,

sunlight and moonlight converged, forming a sensation of turbulence within gentleness, the overlapping beams transformed into tens of thousands of light sword beams, shooting towards the hovering stars, penetrating through the stars constantly, and also piercing the protective divine light on Star Covering,

but the mist of Star Covering had not yet dispersed over Mingjiang Prefecture,

such a fierce battle of sun, moon, and stars had not been witnessed by the myriad wandering spirits of Mingjiang Prefecture,

not to mention those roaming spirits, even Zhou Xuan on the Holy Buddha Chessboard could not see what was behind the mist through the chessboard.

"Star Covering’s cultivation is quite remarkable."

Zhou Xuan said.

The mist in Mingjiang Prefecture was pervasive, but in other places on the chessboard, one could somewhat see the images behind the mist. However, in Mingjiang Prefecture, there were six vast areas where the mist was too thick to see clearly.

"You people of the current human world know very little about this female donor, Star Covering."

Mo Ya Monk had regained his composure, placing chess pieces leisurely while speaking to Zhou Xuan: "Mr. Zhou, do you know that the Seven-leaf Venerable of yesteryear, though revered as the Sky Dome Buddha, did not achieve the incense fire level comparable to Star Covering."

"How does she compare to your Junior Brother Bao Shu?"

"Far stronger than Tree, if I borrow the Holy Buddha Chessboard, I can barely contend with her."

Mo Ya Monk said with a smile.

Zhou Xuan felt a bit more tense; with Star Covering being so powerful and hiding within the mist, the wandering spirits of Mingjiang Prefecture would likely struggle to deal with her.

He also placed a white stone; the formation on the chessboard already had the shape of a great avalanche.

The great avalanche formation could augment the golden bell.

"A little monk dare not let the golden bell of Mingjiang Prefecture gain momentum."

Mo Ya Monk placed another black stone, cutting off the avalanche formation, blocking Zhou Xuan’s attempt to strengthen the golden bell.

But Zhou Xuan’s great avalanche formation was originally a feint, the purpose was to extend the vitality in the chess formation and promote the Big Dragon Formation...

...

Reillumination of Sun and Moon, Rebuilding Mountains and Rivers,

this was once the supreme might of the God of Suffering, but now, it’s his desperate struggle as a beast driven to extremes,

The reillumination descended,

Star Covering seemed to have no resistance left, with half of her body utterly corrupted by the human world’s plants and pestilence like the wind, without even leaving the putrid liquid after corruption.

The God of Suffering wanted to use his life and soul to absolutely erase Star Covering, this human manifestation of nine incense sticks, in Mingjiang Prefecture... eliminating any chance of her revival,

Star Covering’s remains, every inch of bone screamed, the most harrowing cries of the human world,

The God of Suffering was the embodiment of "suffering, calamity, pain" in the human world, his full force of corruption was unbearable,

however, he himself was not much better off,

not having restored his cultivation, the forceful invocation of "Reillumination of Sun and Moon" meant every measure of brilliance burned his life, tormented his spirit.

"God of Suffering, just let it go... I mean no harm to you... Why torment yourself?"

"You die, and I naturally will let go."

"I am far from death... hahaha."

Suddenly, the beautiful song of Star Covering revived once more.

"’I hurried into the forest~ the forest is thick~ I cannot find his tracks~’"

The song became ethereal again, with the melody still like Bai Guang serenading the guests in the metropolis, the voice languid, bringing the audience into a relaxed world within the song, the song massaging the soul,
