In a relatively spacious part of the forest sat a stone Buddha. The Buddha statue's body was surrounded by branches and branches, and its facial features seemed to have become blurry due to the erosion of the wind and rain. Although it had experienced many hardships, it still sat between heaven and earth, as if it had never changed.
A youth covered in blood kneeled in front of the Buddha statue. His eyes were closed and his breath was gone, but a red fruit was still tightly held in his hand.
After a fierce battle, he finally managed to snatch the Blood Vermillion Devil Fruit from the demon beasts, but he was already severely injured. However, at this time, he had met his opponent and was chased all the way to this place.
"Brother Hu, we caught up to him!"
An ear-piercing sound rang, and a few fifteen to sixteen-year-old youths came out of the forest. They all stared at the kneeling Buddha youth with unfriendly gazes, and in the end, their gazes locked onto the Scarlet Fruit in his hands.
"haha..."
The leader, Hu Liang, laughed complacently. "Lu Yang, you won't be able to escape anymore. Be sensible and hand over your things!"
With that, Hu Liang waved his hands to his comrades, and the few youths immediately spread out, surrounding Lu Yang.
All of their directions had been blocked, but Lu Yang did not react.
The smile on Hu Liang's face became even wider. "It's a waste for you to eat this Spirit Fruit. With your talent, you can't even absorb a tenth of its spiritual energy. Let me enjoy this good stuff!"
As he spoke, Hu Liang strode forward, and before long he was in front of Lu Yang. But even so, Lu Yang acted as if he did not sense anything, and did not make a move.
"Since you are not willing to give it to me, then I will have to take it for myself!"
Hu Liang could not help but become angry, he snorted and extended his hand out, grabbing towards Lu Yang who was kneeling down.
At this moment —
Boom! *
Before the youths present had a chance to react, a deep sound rang out, and everyone only saw Hu Liang, who had retreated a few steps, and Lu Yang, who had stood up at some point in time.
"Ten thousand years have passed?!"
Lu Yang's eyes were filled with indescribably complex emotions, there was also confusion, doubt, and vicissitudes.
A message appeared in his mind as if it had come from a long, long time ago.
"The Ancestral Buddha prophesied: 80,000 years later, the classic will be destroyed. At that time, no one believed in the Buddha, and no one imprinted a scripture. Only 'Vajra Subduing the Devils' will appear in the world, and all living beings will be able to traverse …"
The memories in the depths of his mind started to piece together bit by bit. Lu Yang realized that he had been reborn into the era of the Prophecy of the Ancestral Buddha.
"Demons in the World …" The Buddhist mantras dissipated and the Daoists were cut off … The prophecy came true... This is an era where Magical Beast ran rampant and the Demonic Cultivator was everywhere?! "
The memories of this life slowly merged together and the changes that had occurred in the world over the past ten thousand years stunned Lu Yang for a moment.
He was once the most outstanding genius in the Buddhist faith, and his intelligence could be said to have rarely been seen in ten thousand years. Because of his worry, he left the Buddhist faith and entered the world to roam the world.
"Lu Yang!"
An angry shout came from the front, startling Lu Yang out of his thoughts. He raised his head and saw a youth in front staring at him with a gloomy face.
"Hu Liang …" The young master of the Hu Family of Qingta City, my … "Right."
Lu Yang recognized Hu Liang from his past life's memories. Because the relationship between the two families had always been bad, he and Hu Liang had clashed quite a bit.
"Demon Blood Vermillion Fruit?"
At this time, Lu Yang also noticed the object in his hands, and could not help but laugh: "A first grade Spirit Fruit blood was born from the Spirit Demon Blood, but it also contains the berserk Qi of the Spirit Demon Blood, so it is usually used in medicine, and cannot be directly absorbed."
Back then, when he was travelling around, Lu Yang had learnt a lot of things, and these medicinal ingredients were merely the basics.
"Although most people can't directly absorb it, just knowing the way to refine it wouldn't affect any berserk energy at all."
Lu Yang laughed and opened his mouth, allowing Hu Liang and the rest to stare in a daze, he immediately stuffed the Spirit Demon Fruit into his mouth and swallowed it!
"Is this kid crazy?"
The teenagers looked at each other in dismay. Everyone knew that they couldn't eat the demonic fruit directly!
If the berserk energy entered his body, he would at least suffer damage to his body and mind!
Buzz …
However, Lu Yang's body only trembled slightly, as though nothing had happened. He completely refined the power of the Spirit Demon Fruit, and then, a burst of light aura surged out from his body.
The faint aura of the Dharma Idol was so solemn that no one dared to look at it directly.
"This guy …" Did you really absorb the Demon Blood Vermillion Fruit? "
All the youths were stunned.
"How dare you eat my demon fruit … Lu Yang, you are finished today! "
Hu Liang was furious as he gritted his teeth at Lu Yang.
Lu Yang raised the corner of his mouth and stared at Hu Liang with blazing eyes, "If you want me to die, I'm afraid you don't have the ability."
Everyone was startled at first but then burst out in laughter.
"Hahaha …" Am I hearing things? This guy still has the face to say such words. Haven't you been beaten up a lot by Brother Hu in the past few years? "
"I'm afraid I've been struck dumb by that violent energy that entered my brain. I actually dare to provoke Brother Hu!"
Hu Liang also found Lu Yang's words to be extremely laughable. "Looks like you haven't learnt enough lessons. I'll teach you how to be a good person with good intentions today!"
At the same time his voice fell, Hu Liang stepped forward, and suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yang. At the same time, he raised his fist, wanting to catch Lu Yang off guard, and a faint light actually surged on his fist.
"Light from the outside..." Brother Hu used his spiritual energy!
Seeing Hu Liang's attack, the youths couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Using spiritual energy was something only true cultivators could do!
"That kid is going to have a tragedy!"
An expression of schadenfreude emerged on the faces of the youths. Although Hu Liang was only at the early stage of the The Psychic Realm, Lu Yang, who could not use his spirit energy yet, would at least be lying on the ground for a month after receiving such a punch.
bang!
A deep sound came out, causing everyone's heart to tremble, because they saw, the fiercely attacking Hu Liang, was actually casually flung away by Lu Yang with a wave of his hand!
"No …" "That's impossible!"
plop!
This time, Hu Liang didn't even have the chance to stand up straight before his body was thrown to the ground. Before he could even clear his head, he felt a tearing pain in his body. He had suffered some internal injuries.
The entire stadium was silent!
The smiles on the faces of the surrounding teenagers instantly disappeared without a trace. They were replaced with absolute shock. Their mouths were so wide that it looked like eggs could be stuffed into them.
Hu Liang, who had always held the upper hand against Lu Yang, had actually lost to Lu Yang at this moment, and even lost so thoroughly, how could he be willing!
"Look!" The dust of light in his hands! "
Right at this moment, a surprised exclamation came out from the crowd once again, and in the next moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Yang's hand, and on the hand that was waving Hu Liang.
Tss tss …
Lu Yang's right hand shone with a faint radiance, which was also covered by a layer of faint light!
"Exposure of Spiritual Qi to Light..." He also advanced into the The Psychic Realm! "
One of the youths couldn't help but exclaim, causing everyone to be stunned.
No wonder he could defeat Hu Liang!
