I Possessed a Demon Sovereign-Chapter 54

Chapter 54

When Chen Luoyang raised his palm up, there was a reversed pitch-black 卍 that was slowly revolving in the center of his palm. Above his palm, a black Buddha slowly appeared in the air. The Buddha was sitting in the lotus position, and one of his palms was extending out. At the palm area, the air looked as though it was distorted.

Under the influence of the black Buddha’s power, the surrounding air seemed like it was also distorting.

Shi Jing and the others who were fleeing had all been slowed down. Even Nie Hua whose sword light could fly like a rainbow looked as though he was standing still.

“Absolution Demon Palm!” slipped out of Li Tai’s mouth.

The martial art that Chen Luoyang was using right now was none other than one of the Demon Cult’s six unrivaled absolute arts, Absolution Demon Palm.

The pitch-black Buddha that was sitting in the middle of the air had this arrogant look as though he ruled supreme, and as if he was the dictator of everything in this world. Just the motion of the hand raising was already causing so much trouble for the four martial kings. The distortion of the air looked surreal and was truly influencing the spatial zone; therefore, it was putting on additional pressure on the mental states of Shi Jing and the others. It was a combination of both illusion and realism, making it truly mystical.

Shi Jing, Nie Hua, and Li Tai involuntarily looked at the Demon Monk Mingfa. The old monk wearing the black kasaya had also stopped and turned around to look at Chen Luoyang and the pitch-black Buddha.

Demon Monk Mingfa had an expression that looked like he was enraged but smiling. “Cult Master Chen is truly brilliant!”

Demon Monk Mingfa then turned to look at Elder Mingjing while letting out a strange smile. “Junior Brother Mingjing, the reality proves that this old monk was correct. You ultimately followed this old monk’s path. But you are still my junior, while I am still your senior. If you wish to learn the Absolution Demon Palm, you can just come and look for this old monk, and I will be more than happy to welcome you. Why do you need to go beg the Demon Cult? Is it because the Demon Cult has four of the palm moves while this old monk only has two?”

“Senior Mingfa is exaggerating. This old monk didn’t join the Ancient Divine Cult because of the pursuit of some divine technique or absolute art.” Elder Mingjing placed his palms together and said, “It is what Senior wishes for and not what this old monk wishes for…”

“Nonsense!” Demon Monk Mingfa interrupted Elder Mingjing sternly. “Everything that this old monk learned is the union of zen martial arts and of the orthodox method. When the Absolution Demon Palm fell into the hands of the Demon Cult, it became just a martial art. It is merely used by them as a tool and is an utter waste!”

Mingfa’s face revealed grief and anger while he looked at Chen Luoyang and the pitch-black Buddha. “Cult Master Chen is truly brilliant. It isn’t enough to just take my life, you still have to tease me like this?”

Shi Jing, Nie Hua, and Li Tai had their own expressions. Many years ago, apart from the cult-defining divine technique, Heaven Demon Blood, the Demon Cult only had five unrivaled absolute arts.

Back then, a monk suddenly appeared in the Grand Divine Province, and he had the title of Sinful Friar. He used an incomplete Absolution Demon Palm while traveling the world.

His Absolution Demon Palm was incomplete and only had four moves, but the power was already enough to shock the world. Afterwards, the Sinful Friar was killed by the first-generation Demon Cult Master, and the incomplete Absolution Demon Palm fell into the hands of the Demon Cult. Since then, the Demon Cult’s five unrivaled absolute arts turned into the six unrivaled absolute arts.

It was said that the Absolution Demon Palm was extremely powerful, and if it was complete, the Demon Cult’s cult-defining divine technique might not be Heaven Demon Blood.

Apart from the Demon Cult, the Sinful Friar imparted the absolute art to another lineage which had constantly been suppressed by the Demon Cult and gradually weakened.

Around thirty years ago, Mingfa betrayed the Qingliang Temple and joined this lineage. When he inherited as the leader of this lineage, he was also imparted with the Absolution Demon Palm. However, when it came into his hands, the divine technique was further damaged and was only left with two moves.

Shi Jing, Nie Hua, and Li Tai looked at Mingfa and comprehended something. The old monk might not have joined the Demon Monk lineage just because he coveted the absolute art. It had been so many years, and he could actually just join the Demon Cult to learn all four moves of the demon palm. On the contrary, Mingfa was actually even more hostile towards the Demon Cult than most.

Chen Luoyang stood on the head of the flood dragon while he looked down at the Demon Monk Mingfa with a calm expression. The latter had an expression that was filled with grief and anger, while Chen Luoyang was feeling rather speechless. He didn’t even consider that much…

He had used the Absolution Demon Palm instead of other martial arts because of a very simple reason, and it was just one word: wide.

Or it could be said as extensive or big. Because of its sufficient coverage of a surface area.

He was rather far away from Shi Jing, Mingfa, and the two others. It wasn’t like the scenario with Left Sage King Xiuzhe’s subordinate “Black Owl” trying to assassinate him. With such a far distance between them, it was rather difficult to roar martial kings to death.

In fact, the opposition made a very wise decision to escape in four different directions.

The Great Sun Monarch Art was sufficiently powerful, but the area of attack seemed to be insufficient; therefore, the Absolution Demon Palm was very suitable.

However, in the eyes of the Demon Monk Mingfa, it was a mockery, and he inevitably felt humiliated and enraged, causing a huge blow to his mental state.

You are really thinking too much…

Chen Luoyang ridiculed in his heart.

While standing up high, Chen Luoyang still had that indifferent expression. “You people are just like rats hiding and scurrying in the valleys. However, don’t overestimate yourself. To This Seat, there is no entertainment in teasing you.”

Demon Monk Mingfa let out a strange smile and said, “Is that so?”

He then abruptly raised both his palms upwards. His palm intent gathered and formed a black Buddha in the sky too. It looked exactly the same as the Buddha that was sitting above Chen Luoyang’s palm.

Absolution Demon Palm against Absolution Demon Palm!

However, in terms of size and prowess, Mingfa’s black Buddha was obviously inferior. However, the Demon Monk Mingfa immediately yelled out. His black Buddha stood up and walked forward.

The path ahead was pervaded with black qi and had actually formed something similar to hell. With each step from the pitch-black Buddha, its prowess and power were drastically increasing.

What was most shocking was that this Buddha image formed by the palm intent was actually materializing and gradually became a true Buddha that descended into the mortal world. It was now exactly the same as the black Buddha above Chen Luoyang’s palm.

“This is… the fourth move of Absolution Demon Palm, Steps of Hell?!” Shangguan Song and Nie Hua yelled out at the same time.

Xiao Yuntian, Shi Jing, Li Tai, and Elder Mingjing had astonished expressions. From what they knew, Demon Monk Mingfa should only know two moves from the Absolution Demon Palm.

First move, Demon Within All Life.

Second move, Nipped Flower Turned Demon.

The other two Absolution Demon Palm’s moves were already lost from the Demon Monk lineage. No one expected that the Demon Monk lineage would gather information for generations and finally analyzed their master’s imparted art. After many generations of hard work, another move of the demon palm was finally comprehended during Mingfa’s generation.

It was the strongest move among the Sinful Friar’s four demon palms, Steps of Hell! This move was the killer move that everyone feared from this incomplete Absolution Demon Palm.

When executing this move, the Demon Monk Mingfa was going to die! It was the price to pay in exchange for such extreme power. He was an 11th Apotheosis Stage martial king, but this Steps of Hell had the strength of a martial emperor. One could proclaim that no one below the martial-emperor level could withstand this move!

Shi Jing and the others were surprised and didn’t expect Demon Monk Mingfa to have this move. He was a person who was cunning and cherished his life, but he was actually going to confront the Demon Cult Master directly.

The three of them were slightly invigorated. When the Demon Cult Master battled with Black Emperor Xiuzhe, the strength he displayed was only at the 13th True Form Stage.

Mingfa was currently giving up his life and putting everything into this move. If this was using a single move to decide the victory, there might be a sliver of a chance…

Mingfa was starting to bleed from all seven of his apertures. But his body was still shining with black light as though it was a glossy black Buddha.

The Buddha formed by his palm intent had taken 18 steps, and it represented the 18 levels of hell. The strength was now at an unprecedented level!

“If you are so obsessed with just a few palm moves, then you are in luck today.” Chen Luoyang spoke with an indifferent tone while standing on the flood dragon’s head. “This Seat shall bestow a lesson to you.”

After speaking, Chen Luoyang’s palm slammed down. In midair, the palm force from both black Buddhas had clashed! The Buddha above was firm like a mountain, while the palm of the Buddha below suddenly appeared with fine red lines.

These fine lines quickly extended and continued to cover the entire Buddha at the bottom. Even the scenery of the 18 levels of hell that were under the feet of the Buddha had also displayed the red lines.

This realistic scenery seemed like it had turned back into an illusion. It was formerly solid, but now it was flat, as though it was a scroll that was flattened.

Subsequently, the scroll appeared with red cracks, and pieces started to fall off. As though a displacement, the pieces fell off from where the lines crossed. Finally, the Buddha at the bottom, along with the scenery of the 18 levels of hell, had ruptured and shattered!
