Thanks to My Enemy, I Become Immortal Emperor - Chapter 124

As time passed,

the Thousand Hands Bodhisattva’s body began emitting continuous sounds.

It seemed like its joints were starting to move.

Even the statue’s neck started swaying rhythmically.

“Tap-tap-tap…”

The Thousand Hands Bodhisattva’s numerous arms began oscillating in sync.

Soon, a golden glow emanated from its entire form.

“Brother Liu, you can stop now!”

Liu Shunyi nodded.

Meanwhile, Zhao Gou frantically channeled his magical energy for healing.

However, the Thousand Hands Bodhisattva was simply too massive.

Despite being at the Nascent Soul stage, Zhao Gou couldn’t sustain it any longer.

Liu Shunyi approached Zhao Gou and swiftly placed a Medicine Pill in his mouth.

Zhao Gou gratefully glanced at Liu Shunyi before once again vigorously channeling his magical energy for healing.

Suddenly,

Zhao Gou sensed something amiss.

“Holy shit, Brother Liu, help me!”

He felt both his magical energy and soul being absorbed by the statue. Panic-stricken, he urgently sought Liu Shunyi’s assistance.

At that moment, Liu Shunyi let out a cold snort.

“Boom~”

With a swift motion, he struck down with his palm.

“Bang…”

With a dull thud, Liu Shunyi’s palm struck the Thousand Hands Bodhisattva, causing it to crack all over.

However, having absorbed Zhao Gou’s magical energy, the statue swiftly began healing itself.

Liu Shunyi grew furious.

“It seems you won’t learn my might as Yama unless I teach you a lesson!”

As he spoke, Liu Shunyi’s aura erupted.

The terrifying Nascent Soul energy burst forth, and in the next instant, the statue vanished without a trace.

Both Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou stared at each other, bewildered.

“What happened to the statue?” Liu Shunyi asked.

Zhao Gou shook his head, equally puzzled. “I have no idea!”

At that moment, the sycophantic old man cautiously emerged from a dark corner, trembling slightly. He swallowed hard before speaking up.

“Hell King Zhao, y-your Nascent Soul! You should take a look at it!”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gou hastily examined his own Nascent Soul.

What he saw left him utterly dumbfounded.

His Nascent Soul had transformed into the Thousand Hands Bodhisattva.

Panicking, Zhao Gou turned to Liu Shunyi.

“B-Brother Liu, help me! Is my Nascent Soul being taken over?”

Liu Shunyi, uncertain yet trying to reassure him, said, “Your Nascent Soul represents your true self. Wouldn’t you immediately know if it’s been possessed?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gou realized there was some truth to Liu Shunyi’s words.

He promptly sat cross-legged to introspect his state.

After a moment of deep contemplation,

Zhao Gou burst with joy.

“Brother Liu, immense fortune! This truly is an incredible opportunity for me!”

Taken aback, Liu Shunyi asked, “How so?”

Zhao Gou hastily explained, “The Thousand Hands Bodhisattva statue has merged with my Nascent Soul, making it invulnerable to any form of attack. Not only that, but it also enhances my Magic Spell strength and magical energy by nearly tenfold. Additionally, it grants self-healing capabilities and a Golden Body!”

Liu Shunyi remained silent.

“Why aren’t you reacting at all? Aren’t you astonished?”

Sighing, Liu Shunyi looked at Zhao Gou. “In a sense, it indeed seems like a great opportunity for you. However, these abilities you mentioned, I appear to possess them as well!”

Zhao Gou, momentarily speechless, still refused to concede.

“My Nascent Soul can transform into the Thousand Hands Bodhisattva!” With those words, a colossal Thousand Hands Bodhisattva materialized behind Zhao Gou.

Liu Shunyi responded without speaking. An enlarged Nascent Soul identical to himself appeared behind him, adorned with a divine halo formed by nine Golden Cores on its back.

Liu Shunyi’s Nascent Soul now appeared even more divine!

Zhao Gou fell silent and immediately withdrew his Nascent Soul, becoming somewhat reserved.

Liu Shunyi also retracted his Nascent Soul, looking at Zhao Gou with a chuckle.

Initially, Zhao Gou felt quite uncomfortable about it.

But soon, he shrugged it off.

“Well, I’m not bad either. Besides, as someone studying medicine, why do I need such overwhelming power!”

“Oh, right! This Thousand Hands Bodhisattva has another divine ability!” As Zhao Gou spoke, he touched Liu Shunyi’s forehead, transmitting the Thousand Hands Divine Ability to him.

After briefly studying it, Liu Shunyi was left speechless.

“Does this really require having a thousand hands?”

Zhao Gou hesitated for a moment, then burst out laughing.

“Finally, something you don’t know – feels great!”

Liu Shunyi pondered briefly before smiling and said, “Just tell me, is there any possibility that I could still use this without actually having a thousand arms?!”

Zhao Gou stared, incredulous.

Then, he watched as Liu Shunyi effortlessly condensed blood into a set of thousand arms.

Zhao Gou was utterly astounded.

Feeling completely defeated by Liu Shunyi, Zhao Gou vented his frustration by challenging the old servant to a spar, immediately employing the Thousand Hands Divine Ability at full force. Whenever the old man neared defeat, Zhao Gou would simply heal him with a healing spell.

The old servant couldn’t help but weep.

“Lord Yama, if I have sinned, please let me die rather than punish me like this.”

“What nonsense! I was merely engaging in a fair spar with you. But seriously, how can you be so weak?!”

The old man was speechless.

Weak?

I too was once an unparalleled genius.

Yet, he had never heard of anyone cultivating their Nascent Soul into a Thousand Hands Golden Body, except for one other case – someone who achieved god-like Nascent Soul mastery.

Go out there and see, just how many freaks like you two exist?

But these words, he dared not utter. He genuinely feared another beating from Zhao Gou.

He wouldn’t die, nor go insane, but damn, this guy is truly a living Yama on earth!

Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou, along with the old man, continued to scour the temple thoroughly.

Finding nothing particularly valuable, they decided to move on to a new location.

“Old man, spill it – where else might we find treasures?” demanded Zhao Gou.

The old man pondered carefully before responding.

“The greatest opportunity within the Outer City likely lies at the Temple of the Thousand Hands Bodhisattva. Rumor has it that the secret treasure of the Thousand Hands Bodhisattva itself is embedded in the statue. If you seek further opportunities, you’ll need to venture into the Inner City region.”

However, at the mention of the Inner City, a hint of fear crossed the old man’s face.

“Respected Sir, while great opportunities lie within the Inner City, so do immense terrors. It is said that despite the gods’ fall, some divine pets or attendants survived and continue to reside there. Encountering any of them could easily prove fatal!”

Liu Shunyi remained unfazed.

Since acquiring the Thousand Hands Bodhisattva, Zhao Gou’s power had surged dramatically, leading him to feel invincible and dismissive of such warnings.

“Then let’s head to the Inner City!” Liu Shunyi declared.

Zhao Gou nodded in agreement.

The old man hastily responded, “Although the people in the Inner City may not have high cultivation bases, their physical bodies are incredibly robust. Some warriors there possess strength rivaling even Divine Transformation Cultivators!”

Still, Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou showed no signs of concern.

Feeling helpless, the old man sighed, “Fine, I’ll take you to the Inner City, but can’t I not going?”

Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou stared silently at the old man.

“I understand, I’ll go, I’ll go!” The old man felt his life taking a dark turn, as if he had no bright future ahead. He wondered if his ancestors were cursing him rather than blessing him, for encountering these two living devils.
