Chapter 77 Compassion and Buddhas LightOver the course of two months, Ye Feng was not without gains.Leaving aside the yet-unacquired Slaughter God Domain, the golden light in his palm was perhaps the greatest harvest of this trip.Speaking of the origins of the golden light, it could be considered an accident.Ever since he first came to participate in the Hell Slaughter Arena, Ye Feng had been deeply impressed by that little boy with an evil Spirit.And people like him were not few in Slaughter City.Spirit Hall helping commoners awaken their Spirits could be considered a great merit.It added many excellent Spirit Masters to the Spirit Master's world.At the same time, however, it also indirectly increased the number of evil Spirit awakenings.Furthermore, due to the limitations of the era, there was not much education concerning evil Spirits during the Douluo period.Even if a child's personality became paranoid and crazy due to the influence of an evil Spirit, people would only regard that child as a bad seed born naturally.Those who had done wrong were handed over to Spirit Hall to deal with, and those who hadn't were taken back for re-education.If they had done wrong and luckily managed to avoid being discovered all along, they became evil Spirit Masters.Either they were hunted down by Spirit Hall, or they fled to Slaughter City to drag out an ignoble existence.Towards this type of person, every single time, Ye Feng would execute them harboring both killing intent and pity.He pitied their encounters and fates, but could not forgive the wicked sins they had committed.As time passed, Ye Feng discovered that a streak of golden light had grown within his body, born in his soul as an extension of his mental force.The golden light was warm, pure, and devoid of the slightest lethality, yet it could help Ye Feng cast aside distracting thoughts and guard his original intentions.It allowed one's heart to be as still as stagnant water and to achieve enlightenment of the mind and seeing one's true nature.From his pre-transmigration knowledge, Ye Feng found a term that fit the golden light very well—Xingguang.Xingguang was a term in traditional cultivation systems, referring to the inner brightness manifested in consciousness during seated introspection.Taoism called it "Danguang" or "Spirit Fire", and Buddhism called it "Original Nature Spiritual Light" or "Buddhas Light".Ye Feng's Xingguang should belong to the latter.Receiving this pleasant surprise relieved Ye Feng of many worries for the future.With the blessing of Buddhas Light, the killing aura Ye Feng had accumulated over the past two months could no longer affect his inner heart.Furthermore, Ye Feng discovered that his Buddhas Light could also be applied to others, helping them shake off their madness.From then on, Ye Feng's killings turned into severely injuring enemies, letting them atone through pain, and finally using Buddhas Light to grant them sanity and a moment of peace.This was Ye Feng's compassion, and the Great Compassion Palm came into being as a result.Different from the overbearing fist intent of Sovereigns Descent, the Great Compassion Palm integrated killing aura and Buddhas Light, revealing compassion amidst slaughter, making it a lethal move inflicting both physical and mental double damage.At this moment, inside the Hell Slaughter Arena, Ye Feng used the Great Compassion Palm to cleanly and neatly end everyone's lives.After everyone died, Ye Feng piled the nine corpses together, tied them up with rope, and then dragged the corpses as he walked toward the exit.Inside the Hell Slaughter Arena, there was a service station for exchanging bloody mary, and it wasn't far from the Soul Fighting Stage.Ye Feng quickly dragged the nine corpses into the service station; one person could make two cups of bloody mary, and nine people meant eighteen cups.The emissary placed the eighteen cups of bloody mary on the table, and Ye Feng waved his hand, storing all of them into his spirit tool.bloody mary was the hard currency of Slaughter City, and quite a few people relied on consuming it to recover from injuries and calm their minds.But Ye Feng would not consume it.bloody mary indeed had all the various benefits mentioned by the black-skirted woman.But it never mentioned the fatal hidden dangers of bloody mary.bloody mary was addictive, and long-term consumption would form a mental dependence.Furthermore, it contained chronic toxins; as one continuously consumed bloody mary, the accumulation of toxins would cause the fallen ones' spirit power to decline, their bodies to weaken, their minds to be eroded, and ultimately make them bloodthirsty by nature.When the Hell Road opened, the toxins would completely detonate, and the fallen ones would transform into sacrifices for the opening of the Hell Road, dying with their souls and bodies utterly destroyed.Ye Feng collected bloody mary primarily to exchange for supplies.Having stayed in Slaughter City for two months, the food and water in his spirit tool had been completely consumed.Slaughter City was a place where the Asura God selected his successor, and he certainly wouldn't want his successor to starve to death, so naturally there were channels to exchange for external resources.It just couldn't guarantee taste and safety, and getting poisoned was a common occurrence.If one wanted clean and safe food, they had to pay a higher price.Although Ye Feng wasn't afraid of poison, he still wanted to eat some clean food and would never wrong himself.As soon as Ye Feng walked out of the Hell Slaughter Arena, he found more than a dozen fallen ones surrounding him in a semicircle. Seeing him come out, they successively revealed their Spirits and spirit rings, staring at him covetously.They turned out to be all seven-ring Spirit Saints.Ye Feng immediately understood what had happened, chuckled lightly, and said to one of the hunched old men:"Old man, how come you only brought this many people over this time? Even fewer than last time, how is that enough for me to kill?"Feeling the suspicious gazes of everyone, the hunched old man glared at Ye Feng with blowing beard and staring eyes, and said:"King of Purification, shut your mouth. This old man has no relation with you whatsoever. Everyone, do not fall for this brat's scheme of alienation!"The hunched old man was right; Ye Feng didn't know him, but previously, Ye Feng had experienced an encirclement and killing just like the current one, and this hunched old man was one of them.At that time, Ye Feng slaughtered the fallen ones until they threw away their armor and fled in disarray, but he hadn't expected this little old man to actually possess a Spirit Bone. Being dazed for a moment, he let him escape.Originally he felt somewhat regretful, but he hadn't expected the little old man to be so persevering. After witnessing his strength, he still dared to come and kill him.Right on cue, Ye Feng made up his mind that he must kill this little old man and snatch away the Spirit Bone."Alright, Old Wang, stop pretending. At this distance, I guarantee you'll have no problem. Same as before, you take out those two people beside you, and I'll handle the rest."Just as Ye Feng finished speaking, the two people closely hugging the side of the hunched old man frowned slightly, took a step toward the hunched old man, and looked at him guardedly.Sensing their actions, the hunched old man cursed them inwardly as idiots, and immediately wanted to turn around and run away.But Ye Feng didn't let him have his way. He exerted force with the soles of his feet, rushed toward the hunched old man, raised his hand, and delivered a strike of Sovereigns Descent.Seeing Ye Feng strike, the hunched old man was greatly shocked and hurriedly circulated his Spirit Bone skill. Only to see the old man's figure flash, instantly appearing a hundred meters away."Ran away again? No, this time I must catch you."Speaking of which, without paying attention to the fallen ones beside him, he rushed out from the gap and sprinted toward the hunched old man.Seeing this, everyone else also successively chased after them.The three parties thus chased and fled within the inner city of Slaughter City, neither intending to give up.
