My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Chapter 655: Chapter 174: The Buddha will not let you go! (Seeking subscriptions)

Cheng Guang glanced back at the five dragon-shaped statues behind him.

Beneath the reflection of the black smoke evaporating from the Buddha head statue like ice and snow melting,

the white mist streaming from the five dragon-shaped statues became especially distinct.

“It’s very possible that these five dragon-shaped statues are here to suppress the Buddha head statue, and moreover, it might be that the Dragon Clan had known about the Buddha head statue on Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils from the very beginning, hence the suppression here.”

“Or is it that they only discovered it later? After the people of the Dragon Clan found the Buddha head statue, they were attacked by it and could only resist with all their might here, maybe for self-preservation, or possibly to protect all the Demon Beasts in the world?”

As Cheng Guang spoke to the end, his tone couldn’t help but become somewhat doubtful of himself.

…

According to the character of the Dragon Clan, would they possibly sacrifice themselves to protect all the Demon Beasts in the world?

That’s absolutely impossible.

But then,

why did these people of the Dragon Clan do this?

What benefit is there for them to suppress the Buddha head statue?

Furthermore,

Cheng Guang believed that whether the people of the Dragon Clan were suppressing the Buddha head statue from the beginning or were forced to suppress it later,

the ultimate goal could only be self-preservation.

They maintained a delicate balance with the Buddha head statue.

Previously, the Dragon Lord suddenly killed all the Demon Beasts on Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils and then entered the Ten Thousand Mile Dragon Cave, disappearing without a trace.

The reason for this could also be discerned.

It must have been due to some change within the Ten Thousand Mile Dragon Cave, the Buddha head statue underwent something that even the four-headed dragons were powerless to stop.

Looking at the present appearance of the Buddha head statue,

it’s very likely that the being within the Buddha head statue has already started to awaken.

The Dragon Lord knew that once the Buddha head statue completely woke, it would definitely not spare them, likely out of self-preservation, and at the same time, to ensure that after they had finished suppressing the Buddha head statue, once they emerged, the Eight-layered Devil Realm wouldn’t descend into chaos, and their homeland wouldn’t be destroyed.

Otherwise,

once someone invaded the location of the Ten Thousand Mile Dragon Cave while he was suppressing the Buddha head statue, the Dragon Lord likely had no means to cope.

If anyone harbored any designs against it, the Dragon Lord couldn’t bear the consequences or the cost.

Besides killing all the Demon Beasts on Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils to prevent the news of his disappearance from spreading, the Dragon Lord might have prepared other contingencies.

But what these other measures were,

Cheng Guang at this point, still didn’t know.

The information known so far was too scarce.

“Roar Roar!!”

After the stone skin surface on the Buddha head statue fell off cleanly, exposing the bright red flesh underneath, which was disintegrated under the illumination of the light emitted by Tang Sanzang.

Apart from the billowing pitch-black smoke, there were also many unnamed fluids.

As the bright red flesh continued to disintegrate, one could see eyes on the chunks of flesh relentlessly exuding a look of terror,

and emitting an extremely sharp howling sound.

Cheng Guang, just listening to the howling of the bloody flesh, felt the oncoming cold wind grow even more chilly.

Gu Wushuang and Black Cub beside him both frowned at this moment, unable to stop trembling.

Gu Wushuang painfully closed her eyes as restlessness uncontrollably welled up from the bottom of her heart.

At the same time,

without Gu Wushuang herself even noticing, black lines began to spread across her face.

These black lines carried a thick Evil Aura.

That Aura, similar to Gu Wushuang’s own Abyss Demon Emperor’s presence but more thoroughly evil.

Gu Wushuang’s originally clear eyes, upon opening them this time, revealed bloodshot in her clear eyes.

Black Cub’s experience was hardly any better.

In comparison to Gu Wushuang, it was not much better.

It lay on the ground in pain, continuously emitting low growls.

At the same time,

around Black Cub, ripples of pitch-black spread unceasingly.

At this moment, the aura on Black Cub’s body was also uncontrollably increasing.

Under Black Cub’s frightened gaze, its body began to swell gradually, and the aura from being barely perceivable at first, surged instantly.

In just a few breaths, Black Cub’s aura had risen more than one Cultivation Realm.

In the blink of an eye, Black Cub’s cultivation aura had become no less than Gu Wushuang’s, and even faintly surpassed it.

At the same time,

the form of Black Cub also became very different from the beginning.

Veiled in billowing pitch-black smoke, Black Cub’s flesh suddenly bulged up, and before Cheng Guang could react, it abruptly burst open.

Flesh tore and skin split.

Contrary to the expected flesh bursting and blood spattering, none of that happened.

Beneath the torn flesh, abruptly emerged bloodied dog heads,

uttering low, thunderous roars.

Originally having only one head, Black Cub suddenly had two additional heads at this time.

Black Cub now seemed like a regal and fear-inspiring three-headed dog standing at the edge of the dark underworld.
