Pu Du Ci Hang soared a hundred zhang into the air.
A bolt of violet lightning suddenly crashed down upon its demonic body.
"Aang—"
With a miserable cry, its supposedly indestructible demonic body sprayed blood.
The tribulation lightning did not merely attack the flesh. Pu Du Ci Hang felt as if its demonic soul were being pierced by countless steel needles.
"Even the punishments of hell are no worse than this!"
Ordinary demons undergoing tribulation were inherently unskilled in soul arts; a single bolt of tribulation lightning could shatter their souls.
Pu Du Ci Hang had originally been a guardian spirit beast of the Buddhist Sect and cultivated Buddhist techniques. Its soul had once condensed into a Sarira, and even after shattering, it remained far superior to the ordinary.
After one bolt of tribulation lightning, a numb yet profound current of yang lightning coursed through and tempered its demonic body, constantly awakening its Dragon Bloodline.
Its thousand legs, once like sharp hooks, had begun to grow claws.
Rumble!
Another bolt of lightning fell, at least ten times more powerful than the first.
Pu Du Ci Hang had nowhere to evade—and could not evade. The lightning tribulation was both a calamity and an unparalleled opportunity for transformation.
In its pitch-black eyes, a blinding violet radiance split down from the storm clouds.
"The Buddha descends into the world!"
Pu Du Ci Hang proclaimed a Buddhist chant, and Buddha Light enveloped its entire body, condensing into a Golden Buddha over twenty zhang tall.
Unfortunately, without the Sarira, the Golden Buddha possessed only its form and no longer its boundless divine power.
The centipede's hundred-zhang demonic body curled within the Golden Buddha. After the tribulation lightning shattered the Golden Buddha, its remaining force was reduced by ninety percent when it struck the body within.
