Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 837 - 307: Sacrificial Soldier, Sudden Turn of Events, Saint King Projection

"Good!" The elder’s eyes flashed fiercely, "I’m willing to risk everything today to curse this genius of the Heavenly Saint Lake right here!"He activated a secret technique, spitting a mouthful of his heart’s origin blood onto the Demon Heart.

The pitch-black heart contracted and expanded, as if a pair of dark eyes opened deep within. An invisible curse power spread through the void, faintly connecting with the threads of karma and directly locking on the enemy’s True Self.

This time, the elder’s hair turned completely white, and his breath fell to the bottom.

At this moment, Huang Xinchu’s gentle voice rang out, "The ring in his hand has shattered, and there is nothing similar left. Senior, please continue!"

The elder was mentally prepared when he heard about the "right ear pendant" earlier. He took a deep breath, retrieved a supplement from his Inner Heaven and Earth, chewed and swallowed it, and tremblingly reached out, determinedly proceeding with the third curse!

He did not believe this person had a third life-saving device on him!

This time, his once-straight back completely hunched over, his face covered with wrinkles, and after three consecutive curse attempts, he was nearly dead.

This time, Ji Jingqiu, who was fighting Xi Zhong from afar, paused and glanced in this direction. Xi Zhong seemed to sense it and recklessly rushed up to block his view.

Seeing Ji Jingqiu rejoin the fierce battle, Huang Xinchu was not alarmed but delighted, her eyes bright with purpose:

"As expected, this person is at the end of his rope, his life-saving methods exhausted. Senior, please seize the victory and pursue!"

The elder’s face was somber as he turned to look at his fellow Heavenly Human Martial Artists. They all subconsciously stepped back and said:

"Ancestor, we cannot perform the secret technique!"

The elder’s expression flickered uncertainly, feeling there was no way out. Having performed the curse secret technique three times, stopping on the verge of success seemed unthinkable.

Thump, thump, thump—

At that moment, the beat of the Demon Heart, having received his three times of origin supplication, became increasingly intense, as if about to awaken. This eerie feeling surpassed when it was first taken out from the ancient coffin, making those around him wary.

No time left...

Any delay, and the Demon Heart would fully awaken.

The elder’s expression turned resolute.

He intended to fight to the death with this genius from the Heavenly Saint Lake today!

He retrieved an item from his Inner Heaven and Earth, and amid the shocked cries of those behind him, he consumed it. His aura suddenly surged, his face flushed red, and his eyes gleamed with bloodlust as he executed the fourth secret technique!

The Demon Heart’s thump quickened, emanating blood-black ripples like countless tendrils extending into the void, faintly connecting with the Nether Sea, manifesting an illusory demon shadow, endlessly spreading into nothingness!

The elder was ruthless, using his own body as a sacrifice to perform the fourth secret technique!

For a moment, everyone saw a demon shadow towering over, swirling with destruction, decay, and foulness, looking down and reaching towards the void behind the No Heaven Daoist!

Huang Xinchu’s spirit was horrified, this is...

The Heavenly Demon projection?!

No!

Just a relatively powerful Devil Thought, attached to this mass of seemingly heart, but actually of unknown flesh, undying!

She instinctively stepped back several paces, unwilling to be contaminated.

"It’s done!"

The elder exclaimed in joy, the curse power of this strike far exceeded the previous three, effortlessly locking onto the "True Self" of the No Heaven Daoist!

Just then, the No Heaven Daoist suddenly charged towards Xi Zhong, that towering demon shadow reached out to envelop Xi Zhong as well.

The Heavenly Humans from the Demon Eye Empire were instantly enraged, subconsciously believing this was a two-birds-one-stone tactic by the Canghai Empire.

But the elder’s face abruptly changed. As the caster of the secret technique, he "saw" a burst of Infinite Light emerge from the void, cutting through eternity, shining through evil falsehoods, tracing its source along the demon shadow’s outstretched hand!

Panicked, he tried to break the secret technique but was already too late.

Just like painstakingly breaking through an opponent’s defenses, only to slam into a layer of impenetrable walls inside, wanting to stop but already too late, crashing headlong with head bleeding.

"Ah!"

A wretched scream, the elder’s remaining breath completely shattered, under the terrified gazes of Huang Xinchu and others, his remaining origin essence qi was absorbed into the Demon Heart, becoming a sacrifice!

What’s going on?!

Wasn’t it a success?

He still had a life-saving artifact?!

The Demon Heart’s rhythmic thump resonated with chaos, decay, and disorder, yet now mixed with anger.

Huang Xinchu was the first to react, pushing out with a palm, her true strength scorching like Phoenix Fire, pushing the Demon Heart into the ancient coffin.

Just about to close the coffin lid, she found there was some force hindering it from closing.

"Everyone, help!" Huang Xinchu shouted.

The surrounding Heavenly Humans exerted their strength, and only then did the coffin lid close extremely slowly.

Thump, thump, thump—

The heart-thumping sound, powerful and sinister, affected the hearts of many Heavenly Humans, causing turmoil within and blood to trickle from the corners of their mouths.

This heart-thumping sound transmitted further as it spread.

Just when everyone was struggling to push the bronze ancient coffin down, a bloody line split the world from afar, slashing down with a sword!

...

Ji Jingqiu’s last ring shattered into powder and scattered away.

"Hmm, the aura of the Heavenly Demon?" Hel’s voice carried a hint of surprise, "Someone’s using the Heavenly Demon’s power to attack your True Self."

"Hehe, I’ll teach you a secret technique that can slightly confuse the Heavenly Mechanism, enough to deceive this unconscious Devil Thought."

Ji Jingqiu had a strange look on his face as he glanced in that direction.

Earlier, when visiting the Heavenly Saint Lake treasury, on Han Hai’s suggestion, he casually took the ’Golden Silk Jade Robe’ from his body, an item woven from special materials with self-restoring properties.

Its defense was average, but it ensured no exposure from breakthroughs’ phenomena.

Additionally, it acted as a life replacement artifact to offset some dark and evil methods, even though he had already comprehended "I Am Me," remaining worry-free in the Heavenly Human Realm, yet he brought it along anyway.
