Above Destiny

Chapter 713 A Wake-Up Call
Holy oil.

Badanta's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of bewilderment and shock appeared on his wrinkled, withered face.

If it weren't for the fact that Bogio's maternal clan was raised by the Wulou Temple and there was absolutely no possibility of betrayal, he would even suspect that this might be a setup...

It's like discovering that in a game you've fought a bloody 1v5 battle, and all your teammates were just throwing the game!
He was betrayed.

Boggio, I'm so angry! You even gave this thing to someone else?
If Boggio could open his eyes, he'd probably be cursing.

He shot himself in the foot.

The reason he was so willing to give so readily at the fleet base was not only to put on a show of brotherly affection, but also to lull Minkler into a false sense of security and make him risk his life to buy time and withstand the Sukarno family's counterattack.

With such a small amount, it could only mobilize the household gods once at most. Besides, he wasn't without holy oil. Even if Minkler wanted to rebel, he could easily suppress him.

Unexpectedly, time was bought, the Sukarno family launched a counterattack, and they held on... some even risked their lives.

The outline was exactly as he envisioned, but the details didn't match up at all.

The Holy Oil, however, has fallen into the hands of today's counterfeit Minkler!

So what are you waiting for?

Use the fuck!

The moment the spiritual energy intensified, embers ignited from the bottle, completely setting the holy oil ablaze, and wisps of smoke rose into the air.

Right behind Ji Jue, the centipede-like limbs of the household gods coiled up, and ferocious faces emerged from them, hungrily inhaling the smoke, intoxicated and frenzied.

Amidst the violent convulsions resembling those of an addict, when the eyes of those faces opened again, what appeared was the same radiance as Ji Jue's!

The séance is complete!

The previous patriarchal certificate could only passively protect the patriarchal deity, but after the holy oil was lit, the patriarchal deity would have true command over him!

The so-called sacred oil also has another name: the blood of the household god. It is the oil and essence that flows from the fire in the house after each major sacrifice.

It was then refined by incorporating many precious ingredients.

After absorbing the food, the household spirit's hunger and thirst will be temporarily satisfied, and its consciousness and instincts will fall into a daze and depression in a state of intoxication.

At the same time, using the smoke of this holy oil as a medium, the user's consciousness enters into it, temporarily controlling this ferocious and unparalleled power!

It was as if it had usurped the throne, temporarily becoming the dominant figure among the household gods.

From this moment forward, Ji Jue is the master of the household gods, the true acting head of the Chopra family!

As for the resulting pressure and subtle erosion...

Is there such a thing?

Ji Jue didn't notice.

At this moment, as Ji Jue's consciousness flowed, the faces on the strange body of the household god changed strangely, and in the end, they all turned into his own appearance!

Thousands upon thousands of Jijue raised their heads and looked up at the sky.

They all grinned at Badanta in unison.

“Really…”

The lips on each face opened and closed in unison with Ji Jue, expressing a sigh of heartfelt emotion:

"—A fine piece of material, a gem!"

boom! ! !
The moment Ji Jue raised his finger and pointed it toward the sky, faces resembling Ji Jue appeared on the body of the household god, all roaring in unison—amidst the flow of a massive number of souls, the spiritual energy impact of the Ascension System erupted like a torrential rain.

"Insanity!"

Badanta's expression remained indifferent, growing increasingly somber.

It wasn't the pressure I felt, but rather... humiliation!
A spiritual shock?

You, an Ember, are using basic attacks from the Ascension and Transformation system to attack the Flawless Temple of the Abyss's True Essence?
It is simply contrary to Tiangang!

"Hum!"

He clasped his hands together, chanted mantras, and a jet-black lotus flower appeared out of thin air above his head, blooming layer by layer. Within the lotus flower, a dazzling and clear jewel appeared.

Countless phantoms of souls appeared out of thin air, bowing to the precious pearl, and the air was instantly filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

It was still Kundalini meditation, but as the chant master of the upper courtyard of the Wulou Temple, Badanta's cultivation and attainments had already far surpassed those of the useless people Ji Jue had seen before.

The precious pearl forged from countless delusions and heresies is a single pure thought that can turn heaven and earth upside down, rivers flow backward, and the ocean boil.

With the aid of blessings and mantras, within the circle, he is omnipotent; he is a god.

All it takes is reaching out a hand, and the world will be turned upside down!

A giant golden hand appeared out of thin air and spread out towards the countless rising rays of light. Just by appearing, it caused the torrential rain of spiritual energy to stop in the void, making it difficult to penetrate further.

Then, Badanta sneered.

With a slight push, the countless spiritual energy impacts emitted by Ji Jue immediately changed direction...direction...direction...what the hell happened to the agreed-upon direction?!
The spiritual energy surge that had been stagnant in the void actually escaped his control.

Then, under the suppression of the golden giant hand, they overlapped and converged one after another, with a scarlet color flowing from them. In the end, amidst the massive flow of spiritual matter, they actually formed a spiritual sword that looked like it was burning with blood flames, and fiercely pierced forward!
In an instant, the golden giant hand was pierced through the middle, and the sword blade burning with scarlet light rushed towards him in the storm, causing Badanta's expression to change drastically.

"Certainly!"

With a deafening roar, the precious pearl shone brightly.

The void transformed into an iron wall, which was then pierced layer by layer. As they wore each other down, the dazzling crimson light drew ever closer until it stopped right in front of him.

It nearly pierced him completely.

Before he could even feel a moment of relief or catch his breath, the blood blade exploded with a deafening roar!

Crimson waves swept across the sky, eroding the silver and gold light, shattering and annihilating countless treasures. Amidst the sounds of tearing silk, the roar of Badanta echoed.

A jet-black color emerged from the jewel, hovering above the enormous halo, like a dark sunset, radiating brilliant light. It forcefully erased the bursts of blood flames!
When he came to his senses and looked at Ji Jue, he saw that the enormous household god had raised a deformed limb, on which he picked up a scarlet spiritual greatsword and slashed at Badanta again!

When the household god opened its mouth again, purplish-black lightning erupted from its giant maw like a tidal wave!

The Pan Ying roared, and the Zhan Lu clanged!
As the two swords appeared in Ji Jue's hands, hundreds of spiritual blades wreathed in blood flames and purple lightning appeared in the countless limbs of the household god, which resembled centipedes.

He swung his sword wildly toward the monks in the sky, the blades rising and falling like a storm.

They completely swallowed up Badan Tower!

Output! Output! Output!

It's still outputting the damn thing!
Do you like my boss, who can perform 24 moves in one round, with combos of basic attacks and cleaves, armor-piercing basic attacks with critical hits, an infinite mana bar, and even inflicts of ignite, burn, and paralysis?!

It's available now!
"Excuse me, but this is how we, as non-aggression, operate!"

Countless silver rays of light spread from Ji Jue's hands, replacing the completely outdated and inefficient control sequence of the Chopra family, and directly enabling micro-management!

Good news: Ji Jue can only barely control the household gods. He doesn't have many of the weapons and equipment that the Chopra family made for the household gods, so he can't unleash much of the household gods' power.

The bad news is, he doesn't need it at all...

equipment?

He has it himself!

The Ascension and Desolate Ruins are split up, so why ban Ember? Sorry, I also know a little about Desolate Ruins and Ascension!
Besides, do you think you can just ban it like that?

Why don't you take a look at my sage-inherited teachings on non-aggression before you talk to me! Or take a look at our Tide Sound Workshop's most famous spiritual essence refining technique!
Even without relying on any material, Ji Jue can still create amazing works of art using only the spiritual essence of his household gods. No matter how mixed or chaotic the spiritual essence composition, or how complex the legendary mountain of excrement, he can still handle it.

Even with ease!

You agree, right, the underworld worm?
The Netherworld worms remained silent, but right behind Ji Jue, the enormous household god roared excitedly! Countless ferocious spirits howled and surged, their wild and ecstatic dance causing the household god's body to undergo a new transformation...

Unprecedented activity!
You could even say that following the Chopra family for hundreds of years is not as enjoyable as these few minutes with Ji Jue!

With the breaking of the non-aggression, the shackles imposed on the household gods were released, unleashing a ferocious aura. Beneath the entanglement and cover of the veil, the bizarre centipede, swollen to its limit, suddenly exploded, and countless new arms stretched out from its body, millions of palms reaching towards the sky!

Reach for the jewel atop Badan Tower! Give it to me!

Instantly, Badanta felt a chill run down his spine. Then, he involuntarily widened his eyes, glared fiercely, and roared like a lion.

Subdue all heretical obstacles and calamities!
"Duo!"

'Badanta' was like a puppet, its hands forming hand seals against its will, its eyes shooting out fierce light, and a raging tide swept through, annihilating countless hands that stretched out like ocean waves.

Within the jewel above their heads, all sorts of wondrous sights appeared, causing a transformation that turned the pitch-black realm into a Pure Land of Bliss, filled with precious trees and lotus flowers. Boundless joy arose from their hearts, making them involuntarily smile and eagerly want to step into the heavenly kingdom.

Instead of being surprised by this sudden change, Badanta was delighted.

Guru! It is the Guru!

Guru, please help me!

Completely unaware of how shameful it was for someone of extraordinary ability to be suppressed and beaten by a reborn individual, and to have to call for reinforcements... he didn't care about that either.

Time is precious and cannot be wasted on Ji Jue!

The survival of the Chopra family is irrelevant, but this household deity is the guardian beast appointed by the lower monastery. The land of Elephant Continent is also involved in the guru's next arrangements, and it cannot be lost!

Under the divine light, the aura of 'Badan Tower' became even more solemn and sublime, like a living god or Buddha.

As the earthly vessel chosen by the Venerable Master, it is both the duty and the honor of Patanta!
It can be said that all the practices and arduous efforts since entering the path are for the purpose of making oneself more similar to the guru, and through visualization and practice of the guru, making oneself an incarnation of the guru.

It is precisely because of the master as a coordinate and reference that one can stride forward on the perilous path, saving countless efforts and energy. As for whether "I" am "me", it is not important at all!

This is why the Chongguang Church rejects God. When a person worships God and Buddha and develops faith, the most important self in the ascendant lineage is already shaken!

Unfortunately, the reason why heretical paths are so addictive is precisely because...they are effective!
And it's so damn useful!
Even without bestowing any power, merely a trivial thought, when placed into the vessel of Badanta, triggered earth-shattering changes.

In the blink of an eye, the Guru himself completely transformed Badanta, elevating his practice and attainments several times over, truly as if divinely aided!

At this moment, I am a god or Buddha!
"Tsk..."

Ji Jue frowned: "I hate you guys who always use someone else's account to play for others. You have absolutely no skill involved!"

Whether it involves any technical skill or not is another matter, but it's troublesome, it's really troublesome...

The lion's roar drives away all heretics.

After receiving the 'initiation', Badanta easily suppressed the household god's counterattack, and then, with lowered eyes, gave the order:
"—Ji Jue!"

Then, heaven and earth trembled, all things thundered, and all things, whether sentient or insentient, cried out in unison.

Ji Jue! Ji Jue! Ji Jue! Ji Jue! Ji Jue!!!

This is a wake-up call!
A resounding bell suddenly erupted from Ji Jue's soul, stirring up waves of frenzy that even Chun Jun could not suppress. The demonic shadow almost went berserk, with black flames surging out like a tide, only to be firmly suppressed by Ji Jue.

My disguise was almost exposed.

It wasn't just Ji Jue who was affected, but also the household gods controlled by Ji Jue—who mistakenly believed themselves to be Ji Jue's household gods!

With a loud shout, in that exquisite and pure transformation of the incantation, the connection between Ji Jue and the household god was completely severed, and all the interference caused by Ji Jue was completely stripped away.

The countless faces above the household gods rapidly changed. Ji Jue's appearance receded like the tide, and those ferocious faces seemed to awaken from a dream, their inherent ferocity and greed aroused, struggling wildly.

Out of control!

Even those distorted faces are rapidly converging and changing towards Badanta…

Under the radiant light, they naturally gravitated towards Wulou Temple.

Throughout Xiangzhou, the sound of chanting emanated from countless streams, the very source of the countless spiritual beings that had come before... In slums, high-rise buildings, and even on barren beaches, figures of men and women, young and old, with withered expressions and empty eyes, were still fervently worshipping the statues before them, offering their unwavering faith, along with their spiritual beings, to their household gods.

They had been planning this for who knows how long, and now the truth has finally come to light.

The essence of Wulou Temple's doctrines had long since seeped into the deepest part of the household gods over the years, and now it was suddenly erupting, ready to completely convert countless evil spirits and even man-made gods!

Above the heavens, the gods and Buddhas of this world look down with disdain.

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore!"

He looked at Ji Jue and shouted solemnly, "Why haven't you surrendered yet? When have you been waiting any longer!"

The jewel shone brightly, like a tide, descending from the sky.

Countless praises rang in his ears, constantly flooding his soul, yet they could not shake Ji Jue. Instead, he couldn't help but sneer: "A mere trick, not worth mentioning!"

"A wake-up call, huh?"

Suddenly, Ji Jue's expression changed, becoming empty and his eyes flashed with intense light. His aura was also completely different from before.

"Do you think you're the only one who can do that?"

At this moment, right under the nose of 'Badan Tower', Ji Jue raised his palm, pointed at the figure in the sky, and roared angrily.

Immediately afterwards, spiritual energy erupted!
For a fleeting moment, Badanta was overcome with shock.

In a state of bewilderment and shock, he clasped his hands together, focusing intently on defense, strengthening his soul and self, trying to resist the ensuing erosion and impact.

I never imagined that the secrets of Wulou Temple would be passed on to an outsider, a craftsman!

Is this reasonable? !
This is unreasonable!
So... nothing happened.

Nothing happened!
Ji Jue just casually pointed, and then he acted like an idiot, on high alert, guarding against a move that was completely fictitious and would never happen.

At the very end, Ji Jue slapped his forehead, finally remembering the key point, and gave an awkward smile: "Sorry, this move requires calling out names, right?"

"Hey you, what's your name again?"

"..."

Badanta remained silent, then flew into a rage, his eyes turning bloodshot. Then, he saw Ji Jue casually wave his hand: "It doesn't matter anymore. I've innovated it; now it works without a name, much better than your quack remedies."

You see—”

As he spoke, he raised his hand again, feigning importance.

"presumptuous!!!"

This time, Badanta had no patience left.

The Vajra's wrathful gaze stains the heavens and earth with blood. The Bodhisattva's lowered brows turn all living beings to dust.

The magnificent golden body reappeared from within the circle, its compassionate face devoid of any smile, and the light of the jewel gushed forth like a waterfall.

A blood-red finger, as large as a mountain, pressed down mercilessly on Ji Jue, who was as insignificant as a speck of dust below.

Come to death!

Immediately afterwards, one could see that Ji Jue's lips were silently opening and closing on his mocking face.

It was as if they were reciting mantras.

Towards him...

—A wake-up call!
boom! ! !
Badanta was incredulous; everything went black before his eyes!
An even more terrifying roar than before erupted from the sky, the golden body trembled, and its halo flickered.

It was as if, with Ji Jue’s words, a swinging iron rod had struck him on the forehead, making his head buzz, his brains boil, and his soul tremble.

But he would rather have been hit on the head with an iron rod!
It's like everyone who's been betrayed by their best friend secretly hopes that what's plunged into their body is a dagger...

At that moment, accompanied by Ji Jue's words, after a long period of build-up, the real 'iron rod' finally arrived, albeit belatedly.

A terrifying shadow, encompassing the entire area, was cast upon him.

Juque!

The giant sword descended from beyond the heavens!
