Chapter 484: Chapter 276: Burning Finger Offering to Buddha! Bodhisattva Relics!

When Su Que inherited the memories of Kong Wo, the fingers on Kong Wo’s left hand suddenly ignited in flames.

Kong Wo was a martial artist in the late stage of the Divine Realm, such that ordinary flames couldn’t even damage his skin.

However, as soon as the flames on Kong Wo’s left hand ignited, his pinky, ring, and middle fingers turned charred black and within moments turned to ashes.

Immediately, the winds and clouds above the Great Buddha Temple changed dramatically.

A hurricane arose above the Great Buddha Temple, a whirl of power spiraling down from the crevices to gather towards Kong Wo.

The Qi blood beneath Kong Wo’s skin suddenly swirled with seven colors.

His eyes opened wide, and his facial expression became fierce.

The wound in his chest, pierced by Su Que’s Demon Saber, also ceased to bleed.

Even the Demon Seed that was connecting to his Essence Qi and Spirit was obstructed by a vast force of Buddha Power.

’Burning Finger Offering to Buddha!’

When Su Que received Kong Wo’s memories, he understood this was a ritual from the Great Buddha Temple.

Much like that small array in the stone chamber, the entire Great Buddha Temple’s buildings, the Scripture Tower, the Scripture Banner, and the eighty-one Flesh Body Buddhas buried at the temple, interconnected to form a great array.

The core of the array, according to Kong Wo’s memory and his master’s word, was a relic of a Bodhisattva.

Within the Buddhist sect, there exists the Reincarnation Skill. Some Bodhisattvas, unable to achieve great success in a single life, continually change bodies, experiencing several lifetimes.

In each life, the Bodhisattva is a high monk, and in the final few lives, they leave behind relics.

These relics are magical treasures, and once a Bodhisattva becomes one, they would retrieve their own relic and infuse it with Buddha Power.

The Bodhisattva Relics of the Great Buddha Temple are buried deep underground.

Through the temple’s array, this Buddha Power within the relics can be released and utilized.

However, to activate the array, a ritual is required, which is what Kong Wo is performing, the "Burning Finger Offering to Buddha."

Kong Wo would forever lose the three fingers in order to borrow the Buddha Power.

’Twelve-Gate Golden Bell Shield!’

The Golden Bell Shield of the Great Buddha Temple has twelve gates.

With only Kong Wo’s martial arts mastery, on his own, he could usually only manage eleven gates.

Now, borrowing the Bodhisattva Relic’s Buddha Power, his power surged and he could execute the "Twelve-Gate Golden Bell Shield."

The Twelve-Gate Golden Bell Shield was carved with all sorts of fierce beasts and birds.

It emitted countless rays of golden light, as if instantly coating the entire stone chamber in gold.

An imposing aura burst forth from it, forming a gale that swept through the chamber with a howling sound.

Kong Wo let out a loud shout, and his whole body, along with the colossal Golden Bell Shield, charged towards Su Que.

At this moment, Su Que also launched himself forward, his foot pressing down, towards Kong Wo!

He assumed the stance of the Seven Injuries Fist, drawing back his fist.

In an instant, he detonated twenty Divine Intents.

A fist intent capable of destroying heaven and earth immediately filled the stone chamber.

When he reached in front of Kong Wo’s Golden Bell Shield, he punched out!

BANG!

The fist shattered the Golden Bell Shield.

Then, his body still advancing, he continued to push forward with the unfinished punch.

POOF!

In the next moment, the fist pierced through Kong Wo’s chest.

He raised his arm slightly, lifting Kong Wo, blood streaming from his front and back.

Kong Wo looked at him in disbelief.

Suddenly, small flames appeared on his skin.

Upon seeing this, Su Que immediately understood that Kong Wo intended to make a desperate move using the Great Buddha Temple’s ritual "Self-immolation Offering to Buddha."

"Burning Finger Offering to Buddha" only burns the fingers, whereas "Self-immolation Offering to Buddha" burns the entire body to channel more Buddha Power from the Bodhisattva Relic into oneself.

Once he borrowed Buddha Power and unleashed his strongest strike, his entire body would be reduced to ashes.

Should Kong Wo burn his body, Su Que would not be able to seize his Essence Qi and Spirit. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Thus, Su Que wasted no time to let him make another move, mustering various Inner Strengths to release through his arm!

Immediately, a series of crackling sounds akin to firecrackers emanated from Kong Wo’s body.

Su Que’s Inner Strength swept through Kong Wo’s body like a fierce wind.

Wherever the Inner Strength passed, Kong Wo’s meridians were shattered, and his inner viscera demolished.

While executing the "Self-immolation Offering to Buddha," the flame of the immolation required the usage of Divine Intent and True Qi to manifest.

Now, with his meridians and viscera severely damaged, he naturally couldn’t utilize Divine Intent and True Qi.

By this point, Su Que’s affiliated Demon Seed had completely linked with Kong Wo’s Essence Qi and Spirit.

Right away, at Su Que’s mental command, the affiliated Demon Seed drew Kong Wo’s Essence Qi and Spirit out of his Dantian.

Deprived of Essence Qi and Spirit, Kong Wo’s skin lost its color, and he suddenly shriveled up.

The corpse fell with a "snap" onto the ground.

Having absorbed Kong Wo’s Essence Qi and Spirit, Su Que glanced at his attributes.

Remaining lifespan: 5128

Lifespan increased by about twenty years.

This showed Kong Wo’s cultivation wasn’t much.

Su Que waved his hand, releasing a stream of Myriad Poison True Qi to engulf Kong Wo’s body in the blink of an eye.

When he withdrew the Myriad Poison True Qi, Kong Wo’s body vanished without a trace.

Then, he turned around to look at the bookshelf in the stone chamber.

Kong Wo had read all these books.

Having acquired Kong Wo’s memories, he naturally also knew the contents of these books and needed not read them.

Afterward, he left the stone chamber and exited the Buddhist Hall.

Releasing his spirit, he traced the Buddha Power summoned by Kong Wo’s "Burning Finger Offering to Buddha" ritual to roughly locate the Bodhisattva Relic’s position.

This Bodhisattva Relic held extremely dense Buddha Power.

Because of this, even with Kong Wo’s cultivation, he could only leverage up to twenty percent of its power by himself.

The monks of the Great Buddha Temple could only pry more Buddha Power through massive and intricate arrays and sincere rituals.
