He had become pure emptiness-not even nothingness remained!
His throat, along with his vocal cords and chest, had been completely destroyed. Less than two or three percent of his tissue remained uncarbonized.
Only a few parts were still temporarily protected by Amitabha's naturally circulating magic power.
Everything else had been reduced to ashes by the scorching heat of the Great Sun True Fire, amplified by the stars.
But even those parts he had instinctively protected with magic power could no longer survive.
The merit in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool had been burned completely dry!
Buddhist merit equivalent to at least several thousand years of the Buddhist Order's tax revenue had dissipated into heaven and earth!
This prompted Xu Tong to add another charge to the bill for the two Buddhist Sages:
"Unlawful destruction of merit; violation of the law."
This was a minor subsidiary offense that had only recently been enacted in the fourth millennium.
It was much like the crime of deliberately damaging currency in his previous life, so there was no need to worry too much about it.
As for accounting for its expenditure, whenever the consumption of any type of merit reached a certain amount,
It had to be reported to Zixiao Palace.
Failure to do so also constituted a partial violation of the enacted regulations, requiring an investigation and a fine payable in merit.
Of course, the Heavenly Dao was heartless, but people had feelings.
When proposing this regulation,
Xu Tong had specifically consulted the Primordial World Characteristic Value Development View!
In the end, he had added a special provision.
If large quantities of merit were used during a fight,
The loser had to pay the fine.
The winner had to fill out the paperwork and perform a certain amount of labor using magic power.
