Unceasingly flickering fast.
He "saw" the Ten Halls Yama seated above the countless wronged souls, toasting and bantering, with clusters of human-shaped incense on their table, revealing faces of agony and despair.
He "saw" a local City God with a belly fat as a hill, seated in the temple, his face oozing with greed, his eyes wandering restlessly over each Incense Guest.
He "saw" behind the glimmering Buddha, mountains of gold and silver, but these were not shaped like normal ingots, they were, in fact, golden skeletons.
He "saw" a being akin to a heavenly general, using supreme Divine Power to stir up the hatred between dynasties of mortals. As the two dynasties waged bloody wars, countless common people seeking refuge began to worship all kinds of gods, shrouding the Immortal Palaces in a heavy layer of incense offerings.
He "saw" a group of Immortal Gods at the legendary banquet of peach blossoms all smiling, but on their table, instead of peaches, were the common people suffering in the mortal world. The Immortal Gods, pointing at the table and "performing" the hardships of common people, wore ever more hearty and wanton smiles.
He "saw" a group of male and female deities and Buddhas naked, indulging in lascivious pleasures within the Immortal Palace, their torn and tattered clothes carelessly strewn about, in a bizarre array of positions, all revealing indecencies.
He "saw" several Buddhas Bestowing Blessings upon mortals, yet those blessed by them became ever more impoverished and miserable. They looked at the destitute commoners and exchanged glances, feigning laughter.
The ceaseless murmurs in his ear seemed to want to help Fan Wu, to give him a better understanding of the various meanings depicted in the scroll.
And perhaps, they wanted to instill a notion into Fan Wu.
Fan Wu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze as it had been at the very beginning.
Without sorrow, without joy.
And without anger.
Fan Wu slowly stood up... To the expectant-looking Nanjun County Prince, he could not help but ask excitedly, "What did you see? What did you see?!"
Fan Wu calmly answered, "The deities above the heavens."
The Nanjun County Prince became even more excited, the anticipation in his eyes growing denser, "They... what do they look like?"
"Displaying their ugliness," Fan Wu replied.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The Nanjun County Prince clapped his hands, unable to contain his excited laughter, "Ha ha ha! I knew it! I knew it! I’m not the only freak, there are others who can see what I see, see the true face of these deities above the heavens!"
"Ha ha ha! I’ve told you before, those deities above our heads are not any good! They are just like what is shown in the scroll, they are no different from monsters!"
"Besides these, what else did you see? Aside from these things, did you see anything else?" The Nanjun County Prince rubbed his hands and asked, "You should be able to see more and hear more, right?"
Fan Wu cracked a smile, "I saw lies."
The Nanjun County Prince was startled, "Lies... Lies?"
Fan Wu slowly drew the Demon-Slaying Sword, maintaining a calm disposition throughout, unlike the insane state of the Nanjun County Prince. The scenes that flashed through his consciousness didn’t cause much of a stir for him.
"And monsters," Fan Wu added, "To be precise, not exactly monsters, far higher in rank than monsters. I even feel that The Great Revered One, the Witch Immortals... are inferior to It."
The Nanjun County Prince: "???"
Why did he have trouble understanding? What was this Fan Wu talking about? Could it be that seeing too much had shattered his Dao heart, driving him mad?
The Nanjun County Prince swallowed saliva covertly, his survival instinct warning him... If this Fan Wu in front of him went crazy, it wouldn’t be a laughing matter.
Fan Wu ignored the Nanjun County Prince, turned around, and looked at the corpse amalgamation that resembled a meditating Buddha.
At this moment. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
He could see the other’s head, with attributes faintly visible.
[Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, Mystical Immortal Sovereign——Life: ???——Power: ???——Skill: ???]
The series of question marks contained an enormous amount of information.
And when Fan Wu could see these attribute details.
He distinctly felt the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand.
Shivering slightly!
Yet from the Demon-Slaying Sword, Fan Wu did not sense fear, but rather excitement... Yes! The Demon-Slaying Sword was conveying a sense of excitement to Fan Wu, an emotion he captured keenly.
And at the same moment, from the sword hilt of the Demon-Slaying Sword emanated a scorching heat, to the extent that Fan Wu felt the hilt was somewhat too hot to handle.
But he didn’t loosen his grip on the sword hilt; instead, he gripped it even tighter!
Fan Wu could see the attribute information starting to become exceedingly vague and elusive.
Could it be that the so-called "Domain-Outside Trickster Heavenly Demon" had sensed the power of the True Martial Great Emperor within the Demon-slaying Sword and was preparing to flee after realizing something was amiss?
Fan Wu’s reason told him—that the Domain-Outside Heavenly Demon was too insidious, perhaps many times more bizarre than The Great Revered One or the Witch Immortal.
Such an entity dared to blatantly slander the gods and Buddhas of the heavens.
Naturally, it was no easy opponent.
Perhaps just a single thought from the adversary dropping down could lead to Fan Wu dying and perishing, without even a chance for reincarnation.
However...
The Demon-slaying Sword kept urging him—strike with your sword! Strike with your sword! Strike with your sword!
Fan Wu could feel that the hilt of the Demon-slaying Sword was no longer merely hot, it felt as though he was grasping a ball of flame, and not just any flame, but one that could melt steel into molten iron.
With faint white smoke rising from his palm, Fan Wu realized that he had been burned by the Demon-slaying Sword.
It could be said... this was the first injury he had suffered since activating the point-addition system.
But for such a degree of burn, for such a level of pain.
Fan Wu didn’t care about it at all.
In this condition, Fan Wu also noticed that every muscle in his body was trembling with excitement.
Fan Wu held the sword with both hands directly.
He didn’t choose his own reason but instead chose the Demon-slaying Sword, chose his own muscles!
Suddenly! An unprecedentedly terrifying aura erupted from his body, causing the Nanjun County Prince behind him to retreat in shock.
The Nanjun County Prince’s eyes widened.
He looked at Fan Wu’s back in disbelief, his entire face showing a stunned expression.
Just see.
The sword beam emitted by the Demon-slaying Sword in Fan Wu’s hand had transformed into a magma-like red color, and the rolling waves of heat forced the Nanjun County Prince back several steps again. Under the assault of these surging waves, the Nanjun County Prince felt himself sweating profusely.
Fan Wu’s eyes were fixed on the attribute information that appeared and disappeared from time to time.
In the moment it reappeared once again.
His muscles tensed in an instant, and the ground beneath his feet cracked open inch by inch, as thick slurry and soil seemed to be drawn by some force, slowly floating up.
Fan Wu’s figure warped even more!
Until—
A sword strike!
Downward!
The Demon-slaying Sword issued an extremely sharp whistling hum, and its red sword beam illuminated half of the sky above the Great Demon Forbidden Land.
Behind him, the Nanjun County Prince amidst this hurried and faint moment.
Could not tell if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see the shadow of the True Martial Great Emperor, wielding the Northern Black Chariot Gunky Horn Demon-Slaying Heroic Sword, appearing behind Fan Wu who stood before him.
Facing forward.
One sword.
Slashing down.
