The Growth of a God

Chapter 13: Furious Vajra · Luo Yan (1/3)


"Amitabha! How merciful!"

One foot stomped on the muscle-bound monstrosity, a blade resting horizontally on the neck of a humanoid creature...

Luo Yan, with his three eyes, glanced around. Every creature that met his gaze immediately knelt, trembling and not daring to lift their heads.

Luo Yan is the Furious Vajra, one of the top Dharma Protectors under Maitreya.

If it weren't for his heavy killing intent and disregard for the precepts, Luo Yan might have already ascended the Divine Throne, becoming a true Buddha's Incarnation.

Even so, no one dared to deny Luo Yan's combat prowess.

Born with a soul-catching third eye, he could see through the nine heavens above and the nine hells below.

No matter if they were evil gods or ghosts, facing Luo Yan's Celestial Eye, they couldn't help but tremble.

Besides, Luo Yan was born of the Asura Race, and the advantage of four arms allowed them to dominate in battles.

The earlier battle that took place here proved this point.

Facing the siege of numerous enemies, Luo Yan clasped his hands together to recite scriptures, arms extended wielding blades, and single-handedly defeated all opponents present.

To be honest, if Luo Yan hadn't been reciting scriptures and avoiding killing, there probably would not have been a single life left there.'

"Tell me the whereabouts of that raven, or blame no one if I spare no life under my blade!"

With a direct kick, he sent the muscle-bound monstrosity flying.

Luo Yan's gaze lingered on the sole humanoid creature daring enough to meet his eyes.

Even though Luo Yan's Precept Blade was still pressed against the other's neck.

The humanoid creature, however, continued to glower, showing no signs of timidity or fear.

"Bah! You monster monk, do you think you can force me to reveal my big brother's whereabouts like this?"

"Dream on. Even if you kill me today, I won't divulge my brother's whereabouts!"

With a slight frown, Luo Yan's third eye opened wider, emitting an unrestrained fierce aura.

This time, even the bold humanoid creature widened its eyes, strands of dark green blood oozing from its seven orifices—it had clearly been scared out of its wits.

Unfortunately, in front of Luo Yan, physical death was hardly anything to speak of.

From the Celestial Eye's perspective, as soon as the humanoid creature's soul left its body, Luo Yan grabbed it without hesitation.

"I simply don't need you to speak!"

With a hint of disdain, the soul in Luo Yan's hand listlessly lifted its head.

In that instant it met Luo Yan's gaze, past memories began to surge, and all kinds of information and intelligence about "big brother" emerged one by one.

A soul bereft of physical protection is nothing more than a lamb to be slaughtered in the eyes of those adept at manipulating souls.

While Luo Yan certainly wasn't one of those Ascenders born to toy with souls,

As a demigod who reached the end of the Ascension Ladder, he too possessed similar soul-searching methods.

"Huh?"

Just as Luo Yan was about to pinpoint the hiding place of that "big brother," the memories in the soul suddenly became chaotic.

Almost like countless timelines of memories were rammed in all at once, the humanoid creature's soul inexplicably twisted and blurred.

Realizing something was wrong, Luo Yan instinctively looked around, only to find that the previously trembling creatures were disappearing one by one.

——Timeline: Reset!

.........................................................

With a blink, Luo Yan's world had already transformed.

Situated within the mechanical galleries of the Floating City, there wasn't a living creature in sight, only the sound of machinery constantly rotating.

"Where... am I?"

A suppressed voice full of pain emerged, and Luo Yan's memories were also jumbled due to the timeline reset.

Fortunately, as the anchor point selected by the Celestial Tao System, the extra memories wouldn't affect his self-awareness.

On the contrary, when memories from two timelines overlap, it further affirmed Luo Yan's sense of "self."

That's the peculiarity of the Buddha Sequence's Ascension Ladder.

How to assert oneself amidst billions of incarnations is a primordial challenge for every cultivator stepping onto the Ascension Ladder.

Though Luo Yan disdained assimilating other beings into his incarnations, it didn't prevent him from being the most outstanding demigod in the Buddha Sequence.

"That raven truly is the key!"

After clearing up the memories of the two timelines, Luo Yan's expression became even more solemn.

Because he found that on both timelines, it was when he was about to catch the raven's trail that the timeline reset occurred.

Combining his knowledge of the Godslayer Civilization, he could almost confirm that the raven was a "coordinate" left by the Godslayers at this time node.

As soon as the raven is in danger, the timeline resets.

The only thing the Godslayers didn't anticipate might be that, with the interference of the Celestial Tao System, Luo Yan, as an anchor point, would retain the memories of two timelines, further solidifying his purpose.

"Finally found you! Do you still recognize me?"

Just as Luo Yan pondered how to locate the raven in this world line, a somewhat curious voice suddenly came from above him.

Reflexively looking up at the sky, Luo Yan immediately saw a gigantic flying serpent with wings.

Because the creature's movements were so brazen, it caused other inhabitants of the Floating City to look up in amazement.

"You are?"

Suspecting the other's identity slightly, Luo Yan began to speak just as a fierce wind tried to lift him.

Not resisting the sudden force of the gale,

Luo Yan leaped with the momentum, directly landing atop the giant flying serpent's head.

"Ugh, I dislike having 'strangers' standing on my head."

The serpentine body twisted in the air, Xiao Gu's voice carrying some reluctance.

But as Dororo manifested from the gust, Xiao Gu wisely held his tongue.

"This is not the place for talking!"

"We've located the Crow Tengu, and just need your help now."

Gently fluttering its wings, Dororo skillfully landed on Luo Yan's shoulder.

Seeing this, Luo Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, speaking with a hint of understanding.

"Have we met before?"

"Or did we fight side by side in another timeline?"

Upon hearing this, the previously complaining Xiao Gu looked astonished.

"You remember things from another timeline too?"

Hearing Xiao Gu's question, Luo Yan first nodded, then shook his head.

"I do have memories from another timeline, but it's not from the one where we fought side by side."
