Chapter 488: [ Humans are selfish but that is also the reason why we are great! ]

Just how can a person absorb so much when they are just starting cultivation…?

How can it be possible for meridians to accommodate this kind of massive overflow of spiritual energy?

In the first place, how narrow and brittle are the meridians for someone who was just starting to take a step in the world of cultivation…?

If one says it in an analogy, it was as if the waterfall was trying to pass through a tiny little cave with no other way to escape but to squeeze through just to fit in…

In this case, one could only imagine the kind of pressure Allen was under right now!

“Monster.”

Seeing this abnormality in front of her, Si Mulan couldn't help but stare there in terror. She could only anxiously watched Allen--with a heart full of doubt and horror. Like someone watching a living nightmare. I guess, compared to her or the other people, I guess this is really apprehensive.

Si Mulan bit her lip as she looked at his suddenly reddened body and his meridians which were slowly bulging as if they were about to burst out in the snow--the air around him seems to have crystallized and as snow appeared like winter. And yet, all while when the snow touches his skin, it evaporated in an instant as the heat being emitted from his body grew more substantial by the moment.

"...This can't be..."

Seeing Allen’s pale face and the sweat beads rolling down on his handsome face, Si Mulan became so anxious that her face also paled as well. Is this… cultivation deviation…?

When she saw the blood leaking from his mouth a while ago, she had immediately become so anxious and panic. She still hasn’t eaten anything but Si Mulan didn't have any appetite at all.

Wave after wave of Spirit Qi rushed into Allen’s body. Under the bombardment of the spiritual energy, Allen’s meridians swelled up a little by little.

And every time it swelled up, Allen would experience unimaginable pain though, fortunately, it would only last for a moment as his Magic Organ and Chakra Organ frantically stole this magic power from under his Dantian’s eyes. Like a monkey stealing peaches from the tree of the Holy Mother, they quickly and cunningly steal everything and just throw those they didn't want--letting the Qi Organ on his Dantian, shamelessly eat their leftover.

Within his Magic Organ, the cracks that had appeared were constantly being repaired unceasingly, then processed the spiritual energy before spitting out the purified Xiantian Qi.

Under this terrible ordeal, Allen’s Xiantian Qi was like a steam. It would gather together and would gradually increase giving him immeasurable power and his body felt like a gigantic balloon.

Finally, after a few hours of suffering, he can feel that the flood like Qi stream was starting to become slow as if the storm had finally ended, but he still didn't dare to relax even a little. He watched the originally baseball sized Xiantian Qi became a basketball that had been completely filled.

Clang!

.....Then, he felt something changed.

In the next moment, inside his body, several small branches that separated from his Xiantian Qi circulation. These small branches went all over Allen’s body, forming a golden route that started to quench his body.

Vaguely, Allen’s body started to emit a golden ray of light, causing Si Mulan to jump in surprise. The sound of Sanskrit chants suddenly began to float around the cave making it like a magical scene.

Not only that, at this very moment, in front of Si Mulan's dumbfounded expression, a very disturbing figure suddenly appeared behind him, attaching itself to Allen’s body.

The figure had a matted hair and on its forehead was a closed third eye. There was a black colored snake around its neck and a crescent moon on its head. Although quite transparent, the figure had 5 heads and unlike the legendary four arms, instead, it was eight.

The five heads had different expressions; expressing intense anger, happy, sad, calm and a cunning look. The figure was absorbed in meditation while its two arms were holding a black trident and an ax.

It was shutting its eyes while the mouths of all the heads were murmuring Sanskrit that Si Mulan had a hard time understanding.

Allen on the other hand; From the bones to muscles, his body was quenched little by little. Like baking a brick, his body was slowly being strengthened to a huge degree.

"Poof!" A wave of pain came from inside his body. As if he was torn in half or like his inside being squeezed tightly, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Bloodstain was hanging on the corner of his mouth and the ground before him appeared a puddle of blood.

"Uugh," Allen furrowed his brows but he still closed his eyes.

"Hum!" Allen spat out a Buddhist sound. "Sadyojata… Vamadeva… Aghora… Tatpurusha… Isana..."

The pressure on his meridians was increasing… Blood was starting to trickle out from his orifices making his face look very grim and horrifying…

In this exact time…

An aura rippled through the atmosphere…

This aura was very familiar!

It was breakthrough aura!

"What the hell?!" Si Mulan reacted as if she was a cat who got her tails stepped on. She hastily jumped out and let out a strange scream. “This abnormal monster!! How can it be!!? How is this possible?! He was just starting cultivation and he was already breaking through—!!? This is an anomaly! This is impossible!!”

Si Mulan felt her mind breaking into pieces as she watched the inconceivable thing happened right before her very eyes.

She could only see Allen’s calm countenance; his reddish purple face had disappeared. Under the dirty and oily dirt, there seemed to be a glowing jade luster underneath his skin.

“He really broke through …” Si Mulan muttered in a daze. "What the hell!"

What the hell is going on?

That is so horrific and so against nature, isn't it?!

“Could it be that this bastard pretended to be a pig to eat tigers? Has he been playing me the whole time?” Si Mulan cried out, “He wasn’t new to this! What Blood Oasis Desert?! What outsider!! He was probably a cultivator and was even a very high level at that!"

She cursed. She was suddenly feeling angry, like she was being fooled all along, treated like an idiot. If she was just shameless and cruel, she would surely won't care whatever happens to Allen if he was interrupted now and beat him until he doesn't know which was left or right!

She gritted her teeth as she glared hatefully at Allen. "...The thing that he only said right was probably the fact that he was injured and was crippled, losing his cultivation base! And now he wanted to get it back! This damn bastard!!”

“…I even gave him our precious cultivation method…!! This bastard should be struck by lightning!!” Si Mulan gritted her teeth in anxiety and hate.

Though if Allen would know what Si Mulan was currently thinking or even heard her words, he would surely vomit blood. This is a grave misunderstanding!!

Ignorance of a girl's budding hatred and anger, as Allen was in the middle of his cultivation, Allen’s spirit suddenly entered some empty space.

There was a gleamy path in front to him, and it didn’t seem to have an end.

For some reason he doesn’t know, Allen was walking on that path without a destination. He just stared at the light far ahead of him, and he followed it all along.

He walked and walked and walked…

He didn’t know how long he had been walking. He felt like he had traveled thousands of miles. The only thing he could see was the light far ahead of him. It was silent and dark, and it felt like he was the only one left in the world!

He had been walking for a long time and for such a long distance, but the light was still far away. However, he had lost his sense of time so he doesn’t know how long he had been walking. It’s as if his body was being controlled by an invisible force.

In fact, the only thing in his mind was that to keep walking along this way all while thinking--I may not be able to reach the light in any short time, as long as I keep walking ahead, I will reach it someday.

I can’t stop!

I don’t want to stop!

I don’t believe there is any place I can never reach.

So he thought, so he did. He just kept walking. When he just made up his mind to keep walking, that light suddenly became so big. – Puff! - It actually came in front of him.

Allen didn’t know if he did walk to the light or the light moved to him.

No matter what, the light came to him!

He had a close look at it and found out it was actually a mountain!

No! It wasn’t a mountain!

It was a person!

It was a huge man who was like a mountain!

The figure had 5 heads and eight arms. The five heads had different expressions; expressing intense anger, happy, sad, calm and a cunning look. The figure was absorbed in meditation while its two arms were holding a black trident and an axe.

Allen stood in front of this giant and felt himself so small.

That man was huge. His toe alone was thousands of times bigger than a human body!

Buddha…!

That was the only thing that comes into Allen’s mind. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the legend about Sun Wukong. It was about how she thought it was a pillar that connected heaven and earth but in fact, it was just Buddha’s fingers, inadvertently led to her capture.

That was how massive this mountain-like person in front of him was.

What is this man?

Why am I here?

Was it that giant Buddha who made him comes?

Was he the calling him...?

He was lost in thoughts, and then he suddenly shouted, “What is your purpose to make me come here?” He asked, his voice solemn and a bit respectful and polite.

It was extremely silent. Allen was surprised that even he himself couldn’t hear the words he said. Even still, the giant Buddha seemed to have heard as one of his head gazes at the horizon and muttered, “Defying the heavens, contradicting nature—”

“What?”

“--One shall be punished by the law of heaven; one shall be destroyed by nature’s wrath,”

“But was the will of heaven—as absolute as they say?"

"Was the way of nature—as harmonious as it seems?”

“… …” Allen frowned then suddenly he noticed that the cunning face of the Buddha moved and stared at him. “Those who dare defy the heavens—what kind of reason would you have? Was it enough to cause bloodshed and spread chaos? Was it enough to steal the life of thousands of innocents?”

“…It’s enough!” Allen didn’t know but for some reason, he wanted to answer. “I never cared about the world or all the millions of strangers living in this world! All I cared was about the few people around me!"

"... ..."

"For them, I can become the most hateful demon! I can become a tyrant whose name would be etched in the stone of hell for his atrocity and sin—for them, I wouldn’t care if I kill millions of people, all for their happiness!”

At this moment, he didn’t know but he as actually speaking from the heart. It wasn't him, or his brain that formed those words--but his heart taking over his mouth and speak for itself!

Even if he will lie, he wouldn’t be able to say it and instead, he will say only what is inside his heart. What he truly feels… the making of his very being and soul—!!

“Such evil and wickedness…!"

"Such selfish arrogance!” One of the head, the one expressing sadness turned at him. Tears flooded from his eyes. But this wasn't ordinary tears but tears of blood.

“Abandon this greed for vengeance and power. You must search for enlightenment and truth instead. Then, all people will find peace in their hearts…the sacrifice of the few can save millions of people…” The giant spoke as the space itself seemed to tremble with his booming voice.

“Never!” Screamed the angry Allen. His face growing manic. Horns sprouted in his head and his Devil form appeared without any intention of his.

He stood up imposingly in front of the Eight-Armed Buddha and widely spread his arms in a dramatic pose as though declaring his claim. His lips split apart like a crescent moon while his eyes were blazing fiercely like a hunter cornering his prey!

And then too terrifying. An aura of wrath leaked out for a moment, no it was a killing intent. The amount of one'scold sweat if a person was there, would surely double from that. It was already a waterfall. It was as though one was getting showered with murderous intention. even the air crackled in intense and bright lightning!

“I don’t care about unknown strangers! The sacrifice of the few? What would you think these ‘few’ feel? What about the people loving these ‘few’?"

"Humans are selfish but that is also the reason why we are great!" Clang! Clang! The chains on his wrist and ankle clashed together making sounds as if tolls of a bell as Allen swing his arms in dramatic actions.

"...Because for a family! For something as this ‘few’, we have the heart to rise up and rebel! Might as well sacrifice a million strangers than to let our loved one be sacrificed instead!” Allen cried out, his red eyes gleaming maniacal of full of lunacy!

In his heart, there's no greater than Family!

In his world, there's no more important than his loved ones!

... For them, he would wage war against the entire world...!
