The Terrifying Heavenly Demon Zen Sound
"You're the Strange King? That's laughable. With your cultivation level, what right do you have to call yourself a king?" Inside the Blood Sea Palace, Blood King Long Qingtian didn't speak, but one of the three Asura King couldn't help but mock him.
In the Cultivation World, strength reigns supreme, and this is especially true in the Asura Path. Everything is decided by power. Seeing that Zhuge Xiang was only at the True Essence Realm seventh layer, yet he called himself a king, naturally made all the Asura King feel incredulous. How could they, with their own strength, be called kings alongside such a lowly cultivator?
"May I ask how you are addressed?" Zhuge Xiang asked, looking at the Asura King who spoke. He wasn't surprised at all by the man's words, but simply asked in return. Zhuge Xiang would have been surprised if they had accepted his identity as the Strange King from the start.
"I will never change my name or surname, I am the Golden Lion of Futu Mountain," the Asura King declared in a haughty voice upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words.
"You want to be qualified, is that it?" Zhuge Xiang grinned, actually quite pleased with the golden lion's questioning. Since no one else was speaking up, how could he make an example of someone? "In that case, let me, the second-in-command of Demon Hand Mountain, deal with you."
"Golden Lion, I'm making my move..." Hearing Zhuge Xiang tell her to make her move, Wu Xuemei naturally couldn't question Zhuge Xiang in front of these Asura Kings. She stepped forward and spoke to the Golden Lion.
Wu Xuemei's eyes shone with a peculiar light, and her words were like a bewitching whisper, making the Golden Lion feel as if he were about to be immersed in her soft, mesmerizing voice.
This golden lion is quite powerful, being a powerhouse at the Asura King level. It's no less formidable than the Great Strength King from back then. However, Wu Xuemei's Mental Illusion abilities are even stronger.
That same day, even the Great Strength King was defeated by Wu Xuemei's Mental Illusion. How could the Golden Lion be an exception? In the Asura Path, it's not easy to encounter an Asura with outstanding mental power like the Ghost Shadow King, let alone one at the level of Asura King.
Wu Xuemei's Mental Illusion caused the golden lion of Futuo Mountain to slowly lose its luster in its eyes, turning them into a blank expression. Finally, it succumbed to Wu Xuemei's Mental Illusion and collapsed to the ground.
Wu Xuemei gently exhaled a breath of turbid air. Using Mental Illusion to attack the Asura King was not so easy after all. Even if she used her strengths to attack his weaknesses, there was still a Major Realm between them.
"Hiss..." With the Mental Illusion having dealt with the Golden Lion, the other two Asura King inside the Blood Sea Palace wore expressions of deep horror.
The Golden Lion's strength was similar to theirs. Unexpectedly, the second-in-command of Demon Hand Mountain had defeated him single-handedly. What was even more terrifying was that they couldn't figure out what methods she used at all.
"If the second-in-command is this strong, then what about the first-in-command?" The other two Asura King stared at Wu Xuemei in horror. Upon thinking of this, their expressions changed as they looked at Zhuge Xiang, and they no longer dared to look at him with contempt.
Although Wu Xuemei hadn't reached the level of the Asura King, she had defeated the Golden Lion right before my eyes. This strength was truly admirable. But was she merely the second-in-command of Demon Hand Mountain?
"Mental power, and it's a secret technique from the Demon Realm," Blood King Long Qingtian said, his eyes fixed on Wu Xuemei. He had actually recognized the Mental Illusion that Wu Xuemei was using.
"Mental Illusion?" The other two Asura King looked surprised upon hearing the Blood King's words.
In the Asura Path, the ability of Mental Illusion is rare. In fact, very few people in the Asura Path cultivate mental power. Naturally, Mental Illusion like Wu Xuemei's are a great counter to most people in the Asura Path.
"Blood King has good eyesight," Wu Xuemei nodded and returned to stand beside Zhuge Xiang. Her demeanor clearly placed her below Zhuge Xiang, letting everyone know that although she was strong, she was only the second-in-command of Demon Hand Mountain.
"Demon Hand Mountain is truly a place where talents abound. With this young lady's abilities, she is only the second-in-command of Demon Hand Mountain. I imagine that Strange King must be even stronger. I wonder if he could show us his skills and broaden our horizons?" After giving Wu Xuemei a deep look, Blood King Long Qingtian turned his gaze to Zhuge Xiang and said seemingly casually.
"They've arrived..." Upon hearing the Blood King's words, Zhuge Xiang's heart skipped a beat.
Whether or not he can intimidate these people and make them abandon their idea of attacking Demon Hand Mountain depends primarily on himself. Although Wu Xuemei 'Wu Xuemei strength is comparable to that of an Asura King, it is far from enough to guard such a large territory Demon Hand Mountain. Therefore, he needs to demonstrate sufficient strength himself.
The golden lion had already fainted under the Mental Illusion, but the other two Asura King's gazes were fixed on Zhuge Xiang, their eyes filled with doubt and curiosity.
Since he is the leader of Demon Hand Mountain and calls himself King, he must be stronger than Wu Xuemei. Of course, what is even more intriguing is Zhuge Xiang's methods. His cultivation is only at the True Essence Realm seventh layer, so how can he possess strength comparable to the Asura King? And how can he even surpass Wu Xuemei?
Having already taken his seat, Zhuge Xiang, upon hearing Blood King's words, placed his wine cup on the table, stood up, and said, "Very well, since I've come to visit Brother Blood King today, I should naturally show some skill to demonstrate my sincerity. Although I am of the demonic path, I do have some knowledge of the Buddhist Sect Cultivation Technique. As members of the Asura Path, I believe Buddhist Sect Cultivation Technique are quite rare among you. How about I demonstrate a Buddhist Sect Cultivation Technique and let you all judge it?"
"Buddhist Sect Cultivation Technique?" Blood King's eyes changed slightly as he looked at Zhuge Xiang in surprise.
As a dragon-snake transformed in the Cultivation World, it naturally knew the meaning of the Buddhist Sect Cultivation Technique —the nemesis of all evil and dark creatures in the world. But this Asura King, himself a demonic being, how could he possibly possess demonic Cultivation Technique?
"Impossible! How could Buddhist Sect Cultivation Technique exist in the Asura Path?" Blood King exclaimed in astonishment. The other two Asura King shook their heads in disbelief at Zhuge Xiang's words.
The Asura Path is filled with a chilling aura; nothing of light can exist here. Even a high-ranking Buddhist Sect monk would find it extremely difficult to use Buddhist Sect Cultivation Technique here. Yet Zhuge Xiang, being a demonic being, claims he can use Buddhist Sect Cultivation Technique in this Asura Path. How could the two Asura King possibly believe him?
If the power of the Buddhist Sect is Flame, then the Asura Path is a world in water. Zhuge Xiang's words are like trying to ignite Flame in water; in common sense, this is absolutely impossible.
"Buddhist Sect Cultivation Technique?" Not only the Blood King and the other two Asura, but even Wu Xuemei stared at Zhuge Xiang in surprise. Wu Xuemei had no idea that Zhuge Xiang knew Buddhist Sect Cultivation Technique. Moreover, by the same token, how could someone from the Demon Realm know Buddhist Sect Cultivation Technique?
Zhuge Xiang's words truly shocked everyone present. To use Buddhist Sect Cultivation Technique in the Asura Path? This was a hundred times more astonishing than Wu Xuemei's use of Mental Illusion.
"Since I am called the Strange King, how can I live up to this title if I cannot use some methods that others do not have?" Zhuge Xiang said with a smile, and then, without the slightest hesitation, he activated the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Cultivation Technique.
With Zhuge Xiang's current cultivation level, the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound is even stronger than it was inside the Heaven-Piercing Tower. Moreover, in the Asura Path, the Asura King is absolutely deeply rooted in evil, and the Asura Path Will is the Way of Slaughter and killing.
To become Asura King, who among them isn't standing at the very top of mountains of corpses and Blood Sea? It's perfect that the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound is here to deal with them.
The Buddhist Chants and Mystical Truths were, in the ears of these Asura Kings, a death knell Zen Sound, Distant Resonance, deep, and penetrating to the core of their hearts, stirred up Repentance in all the Asura King.
Beneath this Zen Sound, they seemed to see the end of the sea of suffering, and an uncontrollable thought arose in their minds: lay down the butcher's knife, turn back to the shore...
Put down the butcher's knife, put down the butcher's knife, put down the butcher's knife...
The Asura King emerged from slaughter and achieved their power through the path of killing. Yet, under the influence of the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound, this voice kept echoing in the hearts of the Asura King. This voice actually arose from the depths of their own hearts.
Terrified, under the effect of the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound, their will was out of control and was being forcibly converted. The killing intent within them was being purified, and their Battle Will began to waver. This terrified the Asura King.
Yet, they couldn't break free from this curse; the thoughts in their minds constantly controlled them, compelling them to lay down their weapons.
"This..." Wu Xuemei seemed to be showing signs of being converted under the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Cultivation Technique, which made her look at Wu Xuemei Zhuge Xiang horror.
What kind of Cultivation Technique is this? How can it be used in the Asura Path? This doesn't feel like traditional Buddhist Sect Cultivation Technique. This Cultivation Technique seems to be driven by Demon Heart, tending towards a transformation from demon to Buddha?
"This guy, this Cultivation Technique, if he were to enter the Demon Realm and use Cultivation Technique again, it might cause a huge upheaval in the Demon Realm..." What truly shocked Wu Xuemei was Zhuge Xiang's Cultivation Technique, which could be used in the Asura Path and even the Demon Realm to forcibly convert demons into Buddhas. This was the most terrifying thing.
Blood King, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, used his own killing intent to resist the Buddha-nature that arose under the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Cultivation Technique. To the Asura King, this Buddha-nature was as terrifying as the demonic thoughts of Righteous Path Cultivator.
"Alright! Stop now!" Finally, the Blood King roared, as if his taut nerves had snapped. A murderous intent, like a landslide and a tsunami, surged towards Zhuge Xiang. Clearly, if Zhuge Xiang didn't stop, he was going to fight him with everything he had. (To be continued...)
