My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Chapter 656: Chapter 174: The Buddha will not let you go! (Seeking subscriptions)_2

The body was massive and sturdy; if not for the spaciousness of the Ten Thousand Mile Dragon Cave, an ordinary place, even a grand palace, would have been unable to accommodate Black Cub in his current form.

Cheng Guang looked at Black Cub, his gaze slightly stunned.

He thought back to the previous system reward and the introduction of Black Cub.

It seemed to have only mentioned this: Hell Hound.

This is a Hell Hound???

Which normal dog has three heads!!

…

Cheng Guang’s lips involuntarily twitched slightly.

He wasn’t so focused on the Buddha Head Statue anymore.

Instead, he turned all his attention to Black Cub.

After all, with the Buddha Head Statue, there was the Saint Dao Fruit at this time, and Tang Sanzang was handling it; there was no need for Cheng Guang to worry.

It was the changes in Black Cub at this moment that made Cheng Guang involuntarily shift his focus and concern.

Cheng Guang noticed.

Under the moonlight, Black Cub’s muscles turned a deep black, flowing like magma. His coarse and hard fur was like countless steel needles, gleaming with a chilling sheen.

In legends, the three heads of the hound represented cunning, strength, and deceit.

Black Cub’s gaze was sharp, his mouth curled into a cruel smile, as if mocking all the unfortunate souls who had set foot in hell. Each head had a pair of bright golden eyes, projecting a cold and merciless gaze.

From the three huge nostrils of the tri-headed dog, thick flames and foul stench were intermittently emitted.

The exposed teeth were sharp as knives, the tongue was long and venomous, as if it could devour all living beings.

The low growls emanating from the three throats sounded like the death knells of demise, echoing in every corner of the Ten Thousand Mile Dragon Cave.

Black Cub visibly became stronger all of a sudden.

But at the same time.

Cheng Guang also found that Black Cub was unexpectedly strong and showed signs of struggle and pain in his eyes.

As if resisting something.

Cheng Guang, seeing Black Cub in such a state, looked again at the Buddha Head Statue and the thick black smoke billowing from it.

“Is it because of the aura emitted by this Buddha Head Statue that Black Cub has undergone such major changes?”

“Why, for us, is it a major source of evil and corruption, while for Black Cub it becomes nourishment for growth??”

“The aura emitted by the Buddha Head Statue can be used as nourishment for Black Cub, but it is not without harm.”

“That corruption can make one lose their reason; it’s very possible that Black Cub is also facing the risk of losing his sanity.”

“No, we can’t delay any longer.”

Thinking this, Cheng Guang’s eyes narrowed, and he glanced again at Gu Wushuang behind him, noting that her aura had also improved but not as drastically as Black Cub’s changes.

Moreover, Gu Wushuang’s originally jade-like and stunningly beautiful face now bore several black stripes, thick with an evil aura.

Her autumn water-like eyes lost all their beauty, mostly filled with struggle and madness.

As if at any second, she could completely fall into depravity.

Cheng Guang took a deep breath and focused on the Buddha Head Statue and Tang Sanzang in front of him.

Tang Sanzang, manifested by the Fruits of Path to Divinity, seemed to understand Cheng Guang’s intentions. With one hand, he pressed against the exposed Bloody Flesh Chunk of the Buddha Head Statue.

Then, he muttered softly.

“Amitabha Buddha.”

After the utterance.

Brilliant holy light burst forth.

The Bloody Flesh Chunk within the Buddha Head Statue let out an incredibly frightened scream.

Under Tang Sanzang’s suppression, the Bloody Flesh Chunk within the Buddha Head Statue trembled slightly, its surface gradually cracking as if a thick shell was being peeled away.

From the cracks, a strange and bloody aura seeped out, chilling to the bone.

As the cracks widened, the interior of the stone statue—or rather, the inside of the Bloody Flesh Chunk in the Buddha Head Statue—began to reveal a terrifying form.

It was no longer a Buddha statue, nor simply a chunk of flesh.

It was a distorted, anguished human figure.

The surface of the Bloody Flesh Chunk within the Buddha Head Statue started shedding, revealing dark red muscle and flesh, with clear muscle fibers appearing as though freshly skinned.

This human-shaped form struggled, seemingly enduring immense pain.

The head was extremely warped, the mouth wide open, letting out a silent roar.

The bulging eyes were filled with endless fear and despair.

The arms and legs were in inconceivable angles, as if enduring unbearable torture.

The entire statue exuded a suffocating bloody scent that made one’s blood run cold.

Tang Sanzang watched all this silently, his expressionless face as if evaluating an insignificant evil presence.

Eventually, the Buddha Head Statue completely collapsed, and the hideous human form that was revealed burst into flames amid a sound of roaring.

“No, you cannot do this.”

“The Buddha will not forgive you.”

“You, Judge!”

In the flames, the human form that emerged from the Bloody Flesh Chunk within the Buddha Head Statue, yelled loudly.

Tang Sanzang, barely able to make out the hideous face, showed no change in expression.

Just as he was about to obliterate the grotesque form completely with one hand,

Tang Sanzang suddenly felt something and halted his footstep before it could even land.
