371: Distress in the Sea of ​​​​Consciousness

"If I want to save him, I must first know exactly what has happened to his soul!"

Tang Ku said in a deep voice, "Everyone, this might take a little longer. After my soul enters Red Boy's Physical Body, both of our Physical Bodies will become extremely fragile, and this is the time when they need the most protection. So... I'll leave it to you. Protect both of our Physical Bodies and wait for my return!"

"Master, about how long will it take?"

Pigsy asked earnestly, "If you don't return for a long time, should we wake you up?"

"Heh, it won't take too long!"

Tang Ku sat cross-legged in front of Red Boy's Physical Body. Two beams of divine light shot out from his eyes, staring fixedly at the Ghost King. He said in a deep voice, "Do you have any last words?"

"Heh, would I need last words?"

The Ghost King sneered, "It is you who should be worried. Do you know that voluntarily entering someone else's Sea of Consciousness is a very dangerous thing? So, the one who needs to leave last words should be you!"

Tang Ku smiled: "You don't need to worry about that. Just worry about yourself..."

Hum!

A golden light suddenly shot out from his crown, aimed at the Ghost King's forehead, and instantly drilled into it. Tang Ku sat cross-legged where he was, as if he had fallen asleep. The Ghost King's body stiffened, and he completely lost consciousness.

The so-called Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body, where the soul separates from the body, is one of the essential skills for practitioners. As one's cultivation strengthens, the longer the soul can remain outside the body. For a True Buddha like Tang Ku, even if he did not return to his original body for decades or centuries, the body would not rot or turn to dust.

Therefore, Tang Ku had nothing to fear.

Everything before his eyes suddenly went pitch black, followed by crimson light flashing everywhere. Tang Ku opened his eyes wide and was shocked to find himself in a Hell of magma.

That's right, a Magma Hell!

There was fire everywhere, magma everywhere, mountains rising and falling, with crimson and black reflecting each other. Even the hazy sky was filled with flashes of flame. And on the horizon not far away, there was actually a row of active volcanoes lined up very neatly!

That's right, a row of them, as if strung together by a red line of magma, resembling a huge crimson sandalwood prayer bead bracelet. It looked very eerie.

This place was more like Purgatory than Purgatory itself. This was... Red Boy's Sea of Consciousness!

Thunder seemed to roll in the sky. Tang Ku followed the flashes of light being released from the sky, slightly taken aback. Then, a giant palm suddenly flew out from the thick clouds and smashed down towards him.

Although this giant palm only extended to the wrist, its size was almost as massive as a mountain, as if Mount Tai were pressing down directly from above.

"Hmm? Who is this? The Ghost King? Hmm, no... that's not right. This is Red Boy's Sea of Consciousness, so this attack is actually a defense mechanism generated by Red Boy to protect his own Sea of Consciousness! Because I am an outsider who could pose a threat, it is attacking me directly!"

Tang Ku also struck out with a palm towards the sky. A golden phantom of a giant palm fiercely collided with the giant palm in the sky. The collision of their immense power seemed to make the entire world tremble.

The giant palm in the sky was overturned and then fell to the ground like a meteor. After struggling twice, it seemed to accept its fate and stopped moving.

"Hmm? Still coming?"

In the sky, a bare foot, as large as the giant palm from before, also fell down and stomped fiercely towards Tang Ku.

"Damn it..."

Tang Ku curled his lips and then suddenly kicked towards the sky, sending the giant foot flying. It also seemed to lose its ability to resist and lay on the ground, unable to move.

"What the Hell is this situation? Was a giant dismembered?"

Tang Ku frowned slightly, looking at the two huge palms and feet. He crossed his arms and looked at the sky again, relieved to find no other parts appearing. But clearly, these two limbs flying down was definitely not a coincidence.

So the question is, is this Red Boy, or the Ghost King?

Looking closely, the palms and feet were delicate, fair, and chubby, not at all like those of an adult.

"Hmm, which means these are Red Boy's limbs... or rather, a part of Red Boy's soul!"

Tang Ku couldn't help but smile bitterly, "So this kid was dismembered in his own Sea of Consciousness. No wonder a petty villain was able to occupy his Physical Body!"

"Who are you calling a petty villain!"

Boom!

A thunderclap suddenly flashed across the sky. A giant over ten zhang tall suddenly descended from the sky, holding a huge Vajra pestle that smashed fiercely towards Tang Ku.

Tang Ku was unhurried. He frowned slightly, then his figure flashed, and he slapped the giant on the cheek, shouting angrily, "Vajrapani is my friend. If you dare to impersonate his image again, I will immediately, right now, destroy this Sea of Consciousness and keep your soul here forever. I mean what I say!"

The Ghost King went silent. The giant spun five or six times like a top before finally stopping, dizzy and shocked, saying, "You... how can you still be so strong... on my turf?"

"Heh, stop talking nonsense. Who told you this was your turf?"

Tang Ku suddenly laughed, "This is Red Boy's turf. It has nothing to do with you. You are just a dove occupying a magpie's nest!"

The giant's figure quickly shrank, turning back into the Ghost King. He shook his head and said, "Full of high-sounding principles, always ready to preach. Those who achieve great things do not fuss over trifles..."

"Trifles my foot!"

Tang Ku kicked the Ghost King in the face, stomping him entirely into the magma. Half of his body was melted by the magma in the Sea of Consciousness.

"Although this is not the Ghost King's territory, he can move freely and change forms at will here. In such an extreme data scenario, he won't truly be injured. On the contrary, he can make a comeback and continue to attack in all sorts of unimaginable ways at any time!"

Tang Ku pondered slightly, then suddenly remembered something. He looked at the huge palms and feet and clapped his hands.

"That's it! If these are Red Boy's limbs, then he is currently... Heh, I understand. It seems this task is really not light..."

As he spoke, he suddenly stomped his foot and rushed into the thick clouds. When he passed through the clouds and reached the top, his eyes lit up, and he said with relief, "Just as I thought! Heh, things are getting more interesting!"

And just as he thought of a way to save Red Boy, a major event occurred in the outside world.

An old man with a big beard, wearing a Chinese-style gray Tang suit, with a high nose bridge and blue eyes, appeared before the people guarding Tang Ku's Physical Body.
