462: Portal Gun

Glancing at the pagodas filled with an Arabian style, Tang Xian couldn't help but say helplessly, "Actually, when my old man told me about your personality back then, I knew that you were the same type of person as him—the kind I find extremely annoying. But... sigh, I guess I'm just unlucky..."

Halfway through his sentence, Tang Xian went to the middle of the pagoda forest with his backpack on his back, then began to take things out one by one.

Tang Ku could tell that it was a pile of metal parts, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "Is this a technological method?"

Red Boy and the others were bewildered but impressed, yet they couldn't figure out what the thing he was assembling could be used for.

Before long, a heavy object that looked like a sniper rifle appeared in Tang Xian's hands. It had a strong sci-fi feel, looking much more Advanced than the toys in Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's hands. Moreover, it was clear that he had used this thing many times, as his movements while assembling it were incredibly proficient.

"What is this?" Tang Ku couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Duh, it's a Spacetime Transformation Gun, of course!"

Tang Xian rolled his eyes and said, "I asked a friend of my old man's to make this for me. The old guy is a science freak; I dare say there's nothing in this world he can't make... Hmm, Shakyamuni has some tricks up his sleeve, and no matter how strong an ordinary Formation Master is, they can't break his techniques. So, I'm just going to resort to cheating!"

As he spoke, he twisted a knob on top of the metal firearm, and the whole gun instantly emitted a buzzing sound, seemingly like the sound of some Advanced car starting.

Immediately after, this guy wiped his belt, and a glass tube filled with glowing green liquid appeared in his hand. He assembled it directly onto the firearm, and that stuff, which looked like nuclear radiation liquid, began to be consumed bit by bit. It only stopped completely when it was half gone, but this so-called "Spacetime Transformation Gun" began to emit a faint green light.

"Alright, once the spatial gate appears, I'll jump in first. You guys just follow along..."

As he spoke, Tang Xian had already pulled the trigger at a random spot in the pagoda forest. A green beam of light flashed, and a light gate that seemed to be rotating appeared before them. In the center was a vortex, just like the kind that appears when people stir water in a basin, except the overall color of this vortex was quite strange, looking like some kind of viscous green liquid.

"Why does this thing look so familiar?" Tang Ku had black lines on his forehead.

"Heh, anyone who has watched a certain edgy Western cartoon should know..."

Tang Xian hugged the firearm and leaped inside.

Tang Ku, Red Boy, and the others didn't move because the thing in front of them was truly too eerie. Tang Ku, who had watched that anime, was even more wary of this thing. After all, in the original animation, this thing didn't mean it was devoid of danger. Who knew where the portal created by the thing in Tang Xian's hand would lead?

"Hey, it's fine over here, come on in!" Tang Xian said, his head suddenly appearing in the portal, and he raised a hand to wave at them.

"Alright, since we've chosen to trust him, we can't avoid this... Hmm, follow me, there won't be any problems!" Tang Ku said, taking the lead and jumping in. After Red Boy and the two Disciples of Tang Ku exchanged a glance, they finally leaped in as well.

The moment Tang Ku jumped over, he suddenly felt a huge pressure, which almost suffocated him for a moment. Looking up, he saw a huge stone tablet in front of him.

All around was a vast whiteness, as if they were in the clouds, and directly opposite was the legendary location of the boundary marker.

This stone tablet was a full dozen meters high and over twenty meters wide; it was a horizontal tablet with only four large characters composed of Sanskrit on it.

"Ashura Realm!"

Tang Ku curled his lips and was just about to say something when Red Boy's voice suddenly came from behind: "Goodness, I was wondering why there was such great pressure. So the boundary marker you mentioned is this thing? No wonder, no wonder... The Buddha's magic power is attached to it, so those of us with low magic power will naturally be affected mentally... Hmm, are you two alright?"

Tang Ku looked back and saw that the legs of Heishan and Xiao Cui were shaking uncontrollably. Currently, the two were barely maintaining their human forms, but black stones were already starting to emerge from Heishan's face, as if he had grown black lumps all over his face, looking both funny and terrifying. Xiao Cui's face was green, just like the leaves on her original body.

Tang Ku smiled and said, "It is very difficult for the Yao Race to achieve the Righteous Fruit. Generally speaking, one must first shed their animal form before they can continue to Cultivate. Since you two are not spirits formed from animals, you will be subject to more constraints. To overcome those constraints, your willpower must be strong. Just now on the iron chain, you already passed the Heart Demon test. Now is another test: you must refine your willpower to reach a Realm where you are fearless, terrified of nothing, and have no attachments in your heart..."

Heishan and Xiao Cui gritted their teeth and released the Yao power within them to resist the pressure left by the Buddha. After about half a cup of tea, they finally had some confidence, and their complexions looked much better.

Tang Ku thought to himself, "Indeed, they are teachable. Although their strength is lacking, their willpower is quite tenacious... Not bad, not bad!"

He turned his head to look and found that Tang Xian was tinkering with that Spacetime Transformation Gun, so he couldn't help but ask, "What are you fiddling with?"

"This gun still has some problems... It consumes energy too fast. I only have three canisters of Space Coagulant in my hand. I have to add a safety to this gun; I must ensure that there is enough energy when we come back..."

Tang Xian tinkered with the firearm for a long time, and Tang Ku added, "I remember that the transformation gun in the cartoon seems a bit different from this one..."

"That's for sure; that was the old version, and the places it could Transmigrate to were too few. Don't forget, we are opposing the Seal left by Shakyamuni. You are more familiar with his magic power than I am. If an ordinary teleportation gun could work, I wouldn't have brought this bulky thing. And haven't you noticed? This is also one of the reasons why the Space Coagulant in my hand is consumed so quickly..."

Tang Ku suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Breaking through space and breaking through an artificial Seal are two different things. Only by tearing apart the opponent's Formation can one succeed, and this is tantamount to declaring war on the other party. Only by successfully countering it can the passage be opened!"

"Exactly, that's it... Hmm, it seems you are quite smart after all!"

Tang Xian picked up the firearm and laughed, "Watch closely. After I open the portal, you guys must stay vigilant. Don't let anyone from the Ashura Realm find a gap and escape..."

As he spoke, he had already aimed the teleportation gun at the boundary marker, and a green beam of light was projected out. A portal suddenly appeared in the center of the stone tablet, and waves of scorching wind blew from that side, feeling just like someone was roasting by a fire.
