Chapter 1239 — The Supreme of the Heaven Realm Breaks Free
The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 2
"Heavenly Lord Han, did you not wish to see why I am called the Heavenly King of War?
" The wrath on Indra Li Youran's face was but a ten-thousandth part of the wrath in his heart. Now that wrath erupted, and his Buddha-nature, his cultivation in the Buddhist Dao, all of his Buddhist Dharma, every last bit of it, was transformed into the fire of the Wrathful Vidyaraja.
Flames burned the sky and twisted space; within that fire, Shen Mu saw the silhouettes of countless Buddhas — and those Buddhas, in their great wrath, grew hideous and ferocious, no longer like Buddhas at all, but something between Buddha and demon.
The Vidyaraja fire his wrath had become was like the flame in a blacksmith's forge: crimson flame, azure flame, white flame, colors of every kind.
He rose to meet Heavenly Lord Han. The Vidyaraja fire twisted his features so that he was no longer handsome, and wrought a strange change in the very structure of his body — a thousand arms grew out from him!
And his weapons were no longer the Zen staff, no longer the prayer beads, but hammers, hooked swords, long spears, axes and halberds — every weapon he was capable of forging! A thousand arms, a thousand divine weapons!
This was his Great Armament of the Vidyaraja!
He had once been a heavenly craftsman, the heavenly craftsman who forged weapons for Kaihuang; a blacksmith, yet possessed of a handsome face. In his life he had forged far too many weapons; even Kaihuang's Sword Without Sorrow and Land Without Sorrow had been forged by his hand.
As a heavenly craftsman, to know the attributes and the temper of every weapon was his specialty.
That he could become the Heavenly King of War was owed not only to his ability to forge peerless divine weapons and arm the gods beneath Kaihuang, but to another reason besides: when Li Youran in his frenzy seized the divine weapons he had refined, he would transform into a fearsome Demon King!
In that state, Li Youran was absolutely a fighting machine, a killing machine!
