His main body was running itself ragged inside the hall, pursued by the Buddha's finger, narrowly escaping danger again and again.
Yet now, through Three Chi Seven's perspective, he discovered to his surprise that the stone statue's interior was not entirely solid stone.
What powered these enormous statues of sages was, naturally, Divine Path Heaven's vast reserves of Vow Power.
If these stone statues were regarded as complete human bodies, the brilliant Vow Power flowing through them formed their meridians and blood.
Shaving off a layer of stone earlier had been like peeling away old skin; it could not harm their foundations.
But if he could sever the flow of Vow Power within, he could truly injure these stone statues!
The only problem was that these stone statues were simply too big!
Breaking through the hard stone to actually reach the channels of Vow Power inside was no easy task.
Even with Three Chi Seven's unparalleled sharpness, after shaving away at a single finger for so long, he had only just managed to damage one Vow Power meridian in it.
And that Vow Power meridian was so tiny in this colossal body that it would have been more accurate to call it a capillary.
If he tried to kill such a colossus by severing these capillaries one section at a time, who knew how many ages it would take!
Like a sharp fish bone, Three Chi Seven burrowed back and forth inside the Buddha's finger.
In just this short time, the damage it inflicted on the stone statue by severing its internal Vow Power channels far exceeded the superficial wounds it had caused by shaving away at the exterior.
