Chapter 1023

At first, the young monk was talking about buildings, places, grass, and trees. His tone was calm as if he was introducing them to them. However, as they went deeper, his words and tone changed.

He pointed to a protrusion on the left and said, "That used to be a fake mountain. There was a pavilion beside the fake mountain. Back then, my senior brothers were playing chess in the pavilion. Suddenly, a calamity fell from the sky and all of them died tragically."

"Calamity? What calamity?" Zi Chen suddenly asked.

"An unimaginable calamity. The calamity of the sect's destruction. On that day, it rained blood that shouldn't have reached the Buddhist Sect. The blood rain fell into the Buddhist Sect and entered the sacred land. The sacred land was stained with blood and the Buddhist Sect was destroyed."

The young monk's tone changed from calm to cold.

"This wasn't a natural calamity. It was a man-made calamity."

The young monk suddenly turned around and stared at the two. His expression suddenly became ferocious. "A man-made calamity befell the Buddhist Sect. Why do you think it was? The Buddhist Sect stood aloof from worldly affairs but was destroyed. Who is to blame?"

The young monk's change in expression made Zi Chen frown. However, Evil Good Monk snorted coldly. "You darn baldy. You're asking me who I blame? How would I know?"

The young monk smiled. His smile was somewhat strange. "Indeed, I can't blame anyone because I don't blame anyone. This is how the world is. If you want to kill someone, you don't need a reason. Just a thought is enough."

Seeing Zi Chen frown again, the young monk looked at him and asked, "Do you think that monks should be merciful? My words go against the essence of monks."

Zi Chen didn't say anything because the young monk's aura had become extremely abnormal. Although there was sadness, there was more resentment.

The young monk suddenly put his palms together and said solemnly, "Buddha is merciful. This is the principle of the Buddhist Sect. If you meet a good person, you will convert them. If you meet a bad person, you will convert them as well. However, the method of conversion is different."

"You want to convert us?" Seeing the young monk's expression, Zi Chen asked.

"All of you are surrounded by endless evil thoughts. I don't know how many people you have killed in your life. The best way to convert people like you is to send you to hell, so that you will never commit evil again. Converting one of you is equivalent to converting millions of people."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura was released from the young monk's body. At the same time, it was accompanied by an evil killing intent.

"Die!"

This monk was extremely abnormal. Zi Chen attacked first. Endless lightning flashed between his fingers and turned into a palm print that hit the young monk.

The young monk's body was like a mirror. With a boom, it exploded into countless small pieces. These small pieces emitted light and floated in all directions.

Zi Chen and Tyrant had never seen such a scene before. Their expressions were extremely solemn.

The light scattered and landed in all directions. Then, young monks appeared one after another.

These monks were all in their true form. Their eyes turned extremely cold. Just as Zi Chen and Tyrant were guessing if this was a clone, the young monk launched an attack at the two of them.

"Scram!" Zi Chen shouted. The power around him transformed into a tidal wave of energy that spread out in all directions.

Under this energy tide, many young monks were blasted away. However, there was still one who passed through the energy tide and arrived in front of Zi Chen.

Poof!

A sharp blade pierced through Zi Chen's defense and stabbed into Zi Chen's back. However, before it could penetrate deeply, it was stuck. This attack was unable to break through the powerful perfect body.

Evil Good Monk hit the young monk with his palm. The young monk's body exploded again, but there was still no flesh and blood.

"How are you?" Tyrant looked at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen shook his head and then said, "I'm fine. He used a Buddhist technique."

"I'm not too sure. I've never seen such a technique." Tyrant shook his head.

"Die!"

The young monk shouted at the same time and attacked the two of them again. However, compared to Evil Good Monk, Zi Chen suffered a lot more attacks.

The young monk's strength was not strong. Either Zi Chen or Evil Good Monk could kill him. Unfortunately, the young monk's body seemed to be indestructible. Once it was destroyed, it would reappear.

"Kill him in one shot," Zi Chen said coldly.

"It's useless. Today, I'm going to convert you." The young monk's smile became extremely ferocious.

Zi Chen and Tyrant turned into two beams of light and flashed between the various figures. They punched and palms at the same time. Under the powerful attacks, the young monk's figures were all destroyed.

During this period, there was a powerful force that wanted to destroy the young monk's soul. However, the two of them strangely found that the young monk did not have a soul at all.

However, how could a living person not have a soul? Zi Chen and Evil Good Monk were puzzled.

The light around them dissipated and the young monk appeared again, "It's useless. I'm indestructible."

Amidst the sinister laughter, the numerous figures attacked again. The two of them began to counterattack. They destroyed the figures again and again, but the other party appeared again and again. The young monk was like an invincible existence in the world, indestructible.

"No one can be indestructible. All of this must be fake. It must be an illusion." The two of them retreated again and Zi Chen said coldly.

"Illusion? How is this possible?" Tyrant was in disbelief.

Both of them were at a very high realm. In addition, their spiritual senses were also extremely powerful. If everything in front of them was an illusion, it would naturally not be able to escape their spiritual senses.

Zi Chen did not say much. Whether it was an illusion or not would be revealed soon. Gold and silver light shot out from his left and right eyes respectively. The Yin Yang Eye appeared.

Under the Yin Yang Eye, Zi Chen could clearly see the figures around him. He was surprised to find that these figures were all humans and monks.

These were all real human figures, but under the influence of Yin and Yang, Zi Chen could see that the appearances of these monks were different. Their eyes were lifeless, like walking corpses, but the same murderous intent surged around them.

"Kill." Zi Chen said.

Evil Good Monk raised his hand and released a beam of energy. A monk's body instantly exploded.

Under the Yin Yang Eye, Zi Chen clearly saw the monk's figure disappear. In this situation, he should be dead. However, soon, a beam of light reappeared and another expressionless monk appeared.

This was a new monk. His appearance was different from the previous one.

"How is it?" Tyrant asked.

"It's an array formation that's both illusory and real," Zi Chen said.

"Is there a way to crack it?" Tyrant asked again.

"If it's a demonic ape, it shouldn't be a problem. However, it's probably difficult to crack the Yin Yang Eye. However, we can give it a try."

The two powers in Zi Chen's body began to surge. The gold and silver light in his left and right eyes became even more intense. When the two lights reached a limit, they shot out of his eyes, forming a corporeal beam of light.

The two beams of light — one gold and one silver — were like two sharp blades that sliced forward.

Space was torn apart by the light. This beam of light contained unimaginable offensive power. For the first time, the group of cruel-looking monks showed fear as they subconsciously retreated.

As they retreated, the surrounding space changed. The entire array formation that was both real and illusory was cracked by Zi Chen.

The scene in front of them changed. The two of them were in a courtyard. Around the courtyard were collapsed buildings. There were half-destroyed courtyard walls, a pagoda with only one floor left, and half of the courtyard door.

Apart from the buildings, the entire courtyard was filled with extremely rich Yin energy. The Yin energy was extremely cold. Even with his Perfect Body, Zi Chen could feel the chill.

"How can this be?" Monk Evil Good looked around, his face filled with puzzlement.

Apart from these things, most of the people in the courtyard were monks. They were all bald monks, but they didn't have bodies. They looked more like soul shadows, but they were soul shadows that possessed powerful strength.

There was no longer any benevolence or compassion on these soul shadows. Instead, there was only endless resentment and a little bit of fear.

"The Yin energy here is very strong. It's likely that the monks who died back then were infected by the Yin energy and became otherworldly items." The light in Zi Chen's eyes converged, but his killing intent remained. He shouted, "Kill!"

In the real world, killing these otherworldly items was much easier. The lightning powers in Zi Chen's body were effective against otherworldly items. Now that the lightning powers were released, the otherworldly items died one after another.

However, the otherworldly items in front of him clearly had intelligence. When they saw Zi Chen's might, they retreated. Some jumped out of the courtyard walls and ran outside.

In the blink of an eye, the place was empty.

During this period, the monk kept looking ahead in a daze as though he was recalling something.

Zi Chen woke the monk up and walked towards the hall that had one floor left. "Let's go and see if there's anything good."

The monk nodded, but his expression changed slightly.

There wasn't much left in this hall. Even if there were, they had been eroded by the passage of time and had completely lost their effectiveness. There were a few weapons that had become extraordinary after absorbing too much Yin Qi. Unfortunately, they were useless to the two of them.

During this period, the monk didn't say a word. Zi Chen thought that he was thinking about something, so he didn't disturb him.

The two of them left the courtyard and headed elsewhere.

However, they didn't walk far before they saw the young monk again.

"You're here." The young monk smiled at the duo. "I knew you would come."

Zi Chen and Monk Evil Good looked at each other and saw the vigilance in each other's eyes.

"Yin-Yang Eye."

Zi Chen didn't hesitate and activated his Yin-Yang Eye again. Then, he saw the same formation as before.

The monk in front of him didn't look much different from the young monk from before. He just looked more mature.

After the monk destroyed the other party, he completely destroyed the formation here. Many figures appeared again.

Next, Zi Chen broke the formation and used the power of lightning to kill the otherworldly items. Just like before, many otherworldly items died and some escaped.

This was also a large courtyard, but it was badly damaged. There wasn't even a decent building.

There was nothing to follow here, so the duo could only move forward. However, the same situation happened again. The young monk was still smiling and talking to the duo.

Zi Chen broke the formation again and killed the otherworldly items.

It seemed to have become a cycle. Only the power of lightning surging around Zi Chen's body could be heard. Monk Evil Good Good didn't say anything, but the otherworldly items no longer attacked him.

After Zi Chen broke five of these formations, the monk's face finally regained some color.

"I understand," the monk looked up at the sky and muttered.
