’The Eternal Prison?!’

Yang An surveyed his surroundings again.

Everything he saw didn’t seem much different from the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall.

But compared to the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall, this place was pitch-black all around.

Even with his True Eye, which allowed him to see in the dark, he couldn’t make out what lay in the distance.

According to what Qing Kong had said before, the Eternal Prison was where Great Virtue Temple imprisoned Evil Demons and Demon Fiends.

’Now that Elder Monk Hai Shu has brought me here, what does he intend to do?’

Yang An looked toward Hai Shu Bodhisattva.

Although Hai Shu, seated on his Lotus Platform, still appeared as benevolent as ever, in this environment, he gave off an uncanny and indescribable feeling.

"The Jade Kala Vajra Body was improved from an Old Technique. Within that Old Technique, Light Magic was a forbidden art that no one could withstand, so Dust was used as a substitute.

Although the Power of Dust is not as potent as Light Magic, it is still an extremely damaging substance to both Cultivators and Evil Demons."

As he spoke of this, a reminiscent look appeared on his face.

"This old monk once witnessed the Spiritual Body Bodhisattva in action a thousand years ago. Under his hand, even Evil Demons at the same Insect Dao Realm—or even stronger ones—could not last long."

"Would you, Yuan Ji, like to witness it for yourself?"

His gaze fell upon Yang An.

"This Eternal Prison is suppressed by the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall and personally guarded by this old monk. It holds countless vicious and wicked Evil Demons and Demon Fiends. How about we use them for your trial, Yuan Ji?"

"I will do as you command, Bodhisattva."

Understanding Elder Monk Hai Shu’s intentions, Yang An had no objections.

In fact, he was also eager to see what kind of power the Jade Kala Vajra Body could unleash.

He already had a sense of its power, but a feeling was still different from actual combat.

Receiving Yang An’s reply, Hai Shu Bodhisattva smiled faintly and beckoned with his hand.

Within the gloomy darkness, several flashes of lightning suddenly appeared. The surrounding darkness seemed to whip up into a violent storm, enveloping the two of them.

BOOM—

Gleaming silver serpents of lightning danced within the storm. The pervasive stench of rot and decay grew stronger, becoming utterly overwhelming.

Streams of Scripture Mantras suddenly unfurled from Hai Shu Bodhisattva’s body, glowing with a faint golden light. They instantly pushed the surrounding storm back a great distance, and Yang An’s field of vision widened in an instant.

"Then let’s start with the Primordial Feeding realm,"

Hai Shu Bodhisattva said, a flash of anticipation in his eyes. Immediately after, his voice boomed, echoing all around.

"Great Virtue and Goodness! The Buddha’s Son has come to temper himself against demons. Any who can kill the Buddha’s Son shall be granted amnesty!"

"???"

Hearing Elder Monk Hai Shu’s words, Yang An whipped his head around to stare at him, his eyes wide with astonishment.

’Well, well, well! So the old monk wants to play for such high stakes, does he?’

He had originally thought it was just a trial, a chance to spar with these imprisoned Demon Fiends. Perhaps a one-on-one duel to test the power of his Jade Kala Vajra Body. He never expected a life-or-death battle where he would have to face many at once.

However, for someone like him who had fought his way through countless battles, it wasn’t too shocking.

’It’s just killing, after all. I couldn’t even guess how high a mountain the corpses of the Evil Demons and Demon Fiends I’ve slain would stack. A few more won’t make a difference.’

As Elder Monk Hai Shu’s voice spread out, strange and bizarre sounds immediately echoed back from the surrounding darkness, including shrieks of excitement and ecstasy.

"Go, Yuan Ji."

Hai Shu Bodhisattva looked at Yang An quietly.

"Yes."

Yang An responded and walked toward the center of the darkness. When he looked back again, Elder Monk Hai Shu had already vanished.

His surroundings fell deathly silent. Everything was submerged in the darkness, but the aura of Evil Demons grew ever stronger.

A wind stirred in the darkness—a foul wind so putrid it could make a person faint.

Yang An’s expression remained unchanged, perfectly calm. As a veteran of countless battles, a scene like this was a minor affair. Nevertheless, he remained cautious.

’Any Evil Demon imprisoned in Great Virtue Temple’s Eternal Prison is bound to be extraordinary. I can’t underestimate them.’

A few strange figures appeared in the darkness, darting about rapidly.

"Heheheh, a little bald donkey at the Early Stage of Primordial Feeding! This can actually become Great Virtue Temple’s Buddha’s Son?"

"That old bald donkey sent him to us. This is just a freebie!"

"That old bald donkey isn’t that kind. Everyone, be careful."

Several horrifying, strange voices came from all directions, accompanying the figures. They were laughing and jeering, clearly not taking Yang An seriously.

"Let grandpa have a taste of this Buddha’s Son!"

A figure’s voice echoed, and in the next moment, a bloody maw appeared at Yang An’s side, snapping viciously at his head.

But Yang An didn’t dodge or evade. He didn’t even raise a hand, simply letting the bloody maw bite down.

WENG—

However, the bloody maw passed straight through Yang An’s body without touching him at all, dissolving into a puff of black smoke.

’It was just an illusion!’

The real Evil Demons had already appeared right in front of Yang An, charging him all at once.

Yang An’s gaze swept over them, a trace of disdain on his face. Then, he raised his hand! And clenched his fist!

BANG!

With a single punch, four grotesque figures in a row exploded into a pile of mangled flesh.

His body had been tempered by both Dust and Magic Light. Even in its normal, unassuming state, these Demon Fiends of the Primordial Feeding realm couldn’t withstand a single punch. They were nothing but dregs.

Even though their bodies were pulverized, not a single drop of blood stained Yang An.

"If you’re coming, then come all at once! This Lord Buddha still has to go test the Visceral Stone, so don’t waste my time!"
