Chapter 278: I Don't Lack Anything Now!

Bukong's command instantly reached every Brahma Cultivator across the Eight Treasure Table. Jin Hai was no exception; his despairing eyes suddenly lit up.

'Great Monk Bukong's command...'

The seats under the Wisdom Kings and the Arhat Seats could basically be compared to the Eight Immortal Peaks and the Three Great Academies of the Immortal Gate. In principle, there was no hierarchical difference between them.

In reality, however, the Three Great Academies and the Arhat Seats simply stood a head above the rest.

Since Great Monk Bukong, a highly capable subordinate of the Shengle Arhat Seat, had given the word, it was absolutely impossible for these Brahma Cultivators under the Wisdom Kings to refuse.

If there were difficulties, they had to push forward.

If there were no difficulties, they had to create them and push forward anyway!

In other words, those three red-robed bastards—Nurong, Wu Chi, and Suoze—who had abandoned him and fled earlier would definitely come back to fight after hearing this command.

This ignited Jin Hai's hope.

'I can still be saved!'

At this thought, Jin Hai took a deep breath. He stood up, and a visible golden Buddhist light ignited across his body, blazing like an inferno.

Seeing this, Xianfu immediately frowned.

"Careful, he's going all out."

Right then, Wang Ping suddenly spoke up. "Senior Brother Xianfu, leave this one to me."

"Oh?"

Xianfu and Kunlun looked over in surprise. Given the Immortal Gate's usual style, they should have undoubtedly swarmed him right now to mercilessly beat the drowning dog.

One-on-one duels were a game only played when victory was absolutely certain. With the Immortal Gate's flexible moral baseline, they naturally never cared for such things.

However, Xianfu quickly realized his intent. "Are you sure you want to use him to increase your Great Rebellion Exploits? A True Transmission of the Brahma Nation is not something an inner disciple like Xuanlongzi can compare to. Even though he is heavily injured, his magic power damaged, and stripped of his divine powers, relying solely on your Martial Dao means your chances of winning are still very low."

Wang Ping licked his lips at those words.

Of course he knew his chances were low. But he knew even better that if he single-handedly killed Jin Hai, the resulting increase in his Great Rebellion Exploits would absolutely eclipse killing ten ordinary Brahma Cultivators.

'I actually don't have much time.'

'The Brahma Nation can't fight the Immortal Gate forever. In the end, the two sides will inevitably negotiate peace, and the situation will stabilize. When that happens, I won't have any chances left.'

So he had to be fast.

Elevating his exploits could not be delayed. Only by moving at the fastest possible speed and accumulating enough exploits before anyone could react would he have any hope of throwing off his shackles.

'Unfortunately, the conditions for the Great Rebellion Exploits are far too harsh. Because the Brahma Cultivators I killed earlier were all immobilized by Xianfu ahead of time, they couldn't put up any resistance. Due to outside assistance, the exploits gained from them plummeted drastically. All those Brahma Cultivators combined somehow only amounted to parity with Shuntianzi.'

Including Jin Hai right in front of him.

The wounds covering his body meant less than a tenth of his combat strength remained, and nearly all of that damage had been inflicted by Xianfu. Therefore, even if Wang Ping killed him, the growth of his exploits would still be severely discounted.

Under these circumstances, if they ganged up on him again—letting Xianfu and Kunlun act as the main force while he hid in the back—he likely wouldn't gain a single shred of exploits.

"Hm?"

Seeing Wang Ping step out alone, Jin Hai's eyes grew even brighter, tinged with surprise. What did this group from Biyang mean? Were they going to play by sword-dueling rules and fight one-on-one?

His chances of survival had just grown vastly larger!

In an instant, Jin Hai exhaled a long breath. Then, he pressed his hands together. The halo behind his head seemed to connect to a paramount heaven as his lips parted, spewing rolling thunder:

"When I attain Buddhahood, should the living beings of my nation suffer from bloated bowels and obstruction, hoarding waste while occupying space, I shall not achieve supreme enlightenment!"

Rumble!

Jin Hai's figure vanished amidst this Buddhist chant, replaced by dense throngs of Sanskrit script. Every word and phrase seemed carved directly into heaven and earth.

'It's a great vow!'

Wang Ping had naturally done his homework before coming, and he had already familiarized himself with the cultivation methods of the Brahma Nation in private. Thus, he recognized Jin Hai's technique at a glance.

A so-called great vow was actually similar to a destiny form. It was just that the Brahma Nation had no destiny, only one supreme, wondrous Great Brahma Heaven. Therefore, the Tribulation Transcending Third Layer for Brahma Cultivators consisted of making a great vow to the Great Brahma Heaven. Once the Great Brahma Heaven gave its approval, they would receive its blessing.

Take Jin Hai, for instance. His great vow was named the Smooth Benefit Self-Regulating Vow.

Simply put, it ensured that every Brahma Cultivator under the Great Golden Wheel Wisdom King had shit to take, allowing everyone to self-produce their own cultivation resources without needing to eat someone else's.

And once the great vow was formed, it was equivalent to receiving the blessing of the Great Brahma Heaven.

So in necessary circumstances, as long as one paid enough material offerings, they could channel the mighty power of the Great Brahma Heaven to project the profound mysteries of their great vow into the mortal world ahead of time.

For example—

"Pfft!"

In the next second, Wang Ping, who had looked directly at the Buddhist light surrounding Jin Hai, suddenly felt a terrible discomfort in his abdomen. The impurities in his entire body's Qi and blood uncontrollably surged toward his sphincter!

Not only his Qi and blood, but even his magic power was converging, as if threatening to expel something massive. Only the Ten Thousand Gods Terrestrial Chart divine power, being sufficiently large and hard, remained stuck within his body and avoided being triggered. Yet even so, this profound effect made Wang Ping shudder in horror.

"What a disgusting method!"

To be honest, if it were merely taking a massive dump, he wouldn't have cared at all given his resolute Dao heart. But Jin Hai's technique was clearly far from ordinary.

The crucial point was that once he started shitting, he wouldn't be able to stop!

His Qi and blood, magic power, divine powers, and even his very lifeforce would be drawn in and expelled, turning his entire being into a pile of decaying, rotting dung!

"Strike!"

Jin Hai pointed two fingers together. The great vow instantly howled out. One by one, the Sanskrit characters collapsed inward, finally transforming into a shit-yellow storm that swept out in all directions!

Wherever the storm passed, the surrounding grassland rapidly collapsed. The once-vibrant green vegetation withered and turned yellow, while any prairie creatures caught in the blast were swiftly dyed a shit-yellow color. Then they crumbled, literally breaking apart into actual feces to nourish the earth. As far as the eye could see, it had become a sea of gold!

Wang Ping, naturally, was no exception.

His hands formed a seal. The profundities of the Heavenly Martial Campaign Profound Armor operated at their absolute peak. Manipulating his very flesh and blood, he directly discarded the structures of all organs capable of defecation.

'Hold it in!'

Not only his sphincter, but even the pores all over his body—every single orifice connecting his internal and external form was physically sealed shut in this moment through flesh manipulation.

This was only possible because the Martial Dao was unique. Combined with the profundity of a Perfected Person that allowed one to manipulate the physical body, he used profundity to counter profundity, barely managing to maintain a balance.

On the other hand, his Immortal Dao magic power and divine powers were not so fortunate. Wang Ping's Latent Concealment magic power plummeted with a crash, bursting out from his body right then and there with a rushing splatter. And under its lubrication, the originally stuck Ten Thousand Gods Terrestrial Chart actually began to loosen!

In the distance, Xianfu and Kunlun grew bewildered.

"Something's not right."

Xianfu's brow furrowed tightly. "Jin Hai is an arrow at the end of its flight. He has at most thirty percent of his magic power remaining. In theory, it should be impossible for him to push his great vow to this extent."

Was someone helping him?

..........

In the Cosmic Deep Space, the collision between the True Person and the Wisdom Kings was still ongoing. No one could discern the details; there was only a sky full of radiant light fluctuating endlessly between heaven and earth.

Although an Arhat of the Brahma Nation had struck earlier, temporarily suppressing the radiant light and rescuing the trapped Great Golden Wheel Wisdom King, the Arhat also seemed wary of the mighty power within the light. Thus, after launching one sneak attack, he immediately hid himself away, forcing the four great Wisdom Kings to stand at the forefront.

However, right at this moment.

"Hmph!"

Suddenly, a cold snort echoed from within the radiant light, which hadn't uttered a single word since the battle began. An intense killing intent instantly locked onto one of the Wisdom Kings.

The Great Golden Wheel Wisdom King.

Following this, Daoist Master Hanguang Danyang—who had temporarily gained the upper hand despite fighting one against four—finally spoke. An ethereal celestial voice reverberated across a higher dimension:

"You mere puppet, how dare you?"

..........

Jin Hai felt that his condition was excellent.

For some unknown reason, his magic power, which should have dried up long ago, surged out endlessly. The blessing from the Great Brahma Heaven was growing fiercer, and the profundity of his great vow was expanding rapidly.

'Could it be the Wisdom King showing pity on me?'

The mighty power of Brahma Cultivators stemmed from their superiors. There was no such thing as experiencing an epiphany mid-battle. Therefore, the only explanation Jin Hai could think of was that the Great Golden Wheel Wisdom King had intervened.

This was a great thing.

Thinking of this, Jin Hai immediately mustered his strength, gathering the entirety of the Smooth Benefit Self-Regulating Vow's profundity on his lips. Then, he spoke heavily toward Wang Ping:

"Clear your passages, purge yourself of impurities... Shit!"

This incantation rang in Wang Ping's ears, instantly seeming to unclog his entire body. His originally stuck divine power finally broke through all obstructions.

Plop!

The Ten Thousand Gods Terrestrial Chart came out!

Losing control of his divine power should have been terrible news. Yet Wang Ping froze in place instead, feeling an indescribable sensation of relief and comfort wash over him.

The reason was simple. The Ten Thousand Gods Terrestrial Chart had been shat out, but not entirely. Because the divine power was locked onto him, its connection with Wang Ping couldn't be severed. Yet it had still been expelled—the result was a strange, semi-detached state between the two, like lotus roots broken but still connected by fibers. It was only halfway out!

Immediately after, a look of wild ecstasy surfaced on Wang Ping's face.

"This... this..."

In his perception, this half-shat state not only caused him no trouble, it actually provided him with unimaginable assistance.

First, because the divine power was blocking the exit.

The magic power that had been gushing out could no longer be expelled, effectively stemming the deluge.

Second, and most importantly—at this very moment, the Ten Thousand Gods Terrestrial Chart had detached itself from his body and slipped entirely out of the judgment range of his Great Rebellion Exploits!

'Originally, in the judgment of the Great Rebellion Exploits, the Ten Thousand Gods Terrestrial Chart acts as my divine power. The moment I use it to defeat an opponent, the exploits reinforce it, causing the divine power to lock down even tighter... But now that it's been pulled out, the Ten Thousand Gods Terrestrial Chart is being treated as some kind of external object!'

This state was incredibly subtle.

Normally, a divine power that was shat out would be rendered useless and impossible to wield. But since it was only halfway out, he could still use it!

In other words:

'In this state, I can still unleash the Ten Thousand Gods Terrestrial Chart without having to worry about it becoming even heavier, like it did when I killed Xuanlongzi!'

His Martial Dao and Immortal Dao were no longer restricted!

He could go all out!

"Good, good, good... I don't lack anything now!"

Wang Ping looked up, his eyes shining brightly. He instantly realized the crux of the matter: 'The Wisdom King, it must be the Great Golden Wheel Wisdom King interfering.'

Sure enough, as long as chaos was provoked, a chance of survival would inevitably emerge!
