Though chaotic and impure, this aura was of an exceptionally high order at its core.
Qi Wu recalled the phantom of a god he had encountered on Lake Heart Island. The impressions the two gave him overlapped to an astonishing degree.
The only difference was that the phantom on Lake Heart Island had been the projection of a true god, while the Buddha Mother before him seemed more like a vessel forcibly stitched together and filled with inferior divinity.
"The Sacred Embryo... the aura of a god."
Qi Wu seemed to realize something, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Are those Rose lunatics trying to create an artificial god?!"
The thought had barely formed when the Thousand-Hand Buddha Mother let out an earthshaking roar!
"ROOOAR!!!"
The thousand bloody hands behind the Buddha Mother opened their palms, countless bloodshot eyes instantly locking onto Qi Wu. Then a thousand dark-red beams sealed off the space within a hundred-meter radius and rained down like a torrential storm!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Deep trenches were plowed into the ground, and dust billowed everywhere.
Yet Qi Wu simply stood with one hand in his pocket, utterly unconcerned.
Every beam dissolved or stopped as it approached his body.
"That's your full strength? An attack like that can't even touch the hem of my clothes."
Qi Wu scoffed and curled a finger on his right hand, a speck of red light blooming at its tip.
Red!
A crimson wave of light instantly pierced the sky, blasting a five-meter-wide hole through the Buddha Mother's chest!
But then something eerie happened.
Within a single second, the blasted flesh surged like a tide, not only filling the hole but even sprouting a dense mass of tentacles.
Rather than weakening, the Buddha Mother's aura climbed wildly with every new wound!
