The Water Prayer Beads all disappeared.
If Wu Ku had held onto the three Water Fundamental Crystals, he might have been able to survive the phoenix’s flames with the abundant energy inside them.
Unfortunately, the Water Fundamental Crystals were in Mo Fan’s hands!
Some of the most tenacious plants were slowly turning into charcoal. The moist soil was now as dry and hard as stone. It was scorched black with cracks all through it.
The thick woods had vanished in a straight line completely, like they were erased by the stroke of a hand sweeping deeper into the rainforest, leaving behind a barren land in the middle of the rainforest with endless steam rising from it!
A man whose clothes and skin had been destroyed by flames was kneeling miserably at the boundary of the flames, looking like a burned statue.
It was Wu Ku.
He tried to get back to his feet a few times, but could only fall back to the ground.
He struggled to lift his head, but he could only see a two feet walking toward him, leaving burning footprints behind them.
“Kneeling on the ground will not lessen your sins,” Mo Fan advised him.
“I will not kneel in front of a nobody like you…” Wu Ku tried to get up, but he shrieked in agony as the bones of his legs tried to support his weight.
His legs only had bones left!
His flesh had been burned away. The bones were scorched black, too!
Wu Ku was crying madly. His body twitched uncontrollably as more skin and flesh fell from him.
Wu Ku did not expect his body to end up like this.
He looked like a trashed Buddha statue burning inside a furnace, and now it was beginning to fall apart!
“Water, water, water…”
Wu Ku started crawling. The skin on his hands was falling off like dried soil.
However, he was still using all his might to crawl toward the Scorching River.
There was water in the Scorching River. Given water, his unique body could rejuvenate in no time.
The river would replenish the water he had lost. New skin and flesh would slowly grow out.
He could try again as long as he had water!…
He finally made it to the Scorching River. He just needed to use a little magic to Summon the water toward him…
However, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he stared at the river.
The Scorching River was dry!
The Scorching River here had contained the melted ice and collected rainwater from across the Andes Mountain Range, but it had dried up completely for several kilometers!
There was no sign of water, only dry earth cracked from the heat. Flames were still rising from some of the cracks!
“Give me, give me the Water Fundamental Crystals!
“I can tell you, I can tell you everything you want, give me the Water Fundamental Crystals!
“I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!
“Please, I’m begging you, show me mercy…”
Wu Ku grabbed Mo Fan’s feet. His body had only bones left.
“Aren’t you in a pretty good state now? Buddhists always want to become as light as feathers, so they can ascend. Your soul might be going to Hell, but your flesh has ascended. Congratulations on achieving your life goal,” Mo Fan laughed sincerely.
If Wu Ku was a true believer of Buddhism, he would not have performed so many wicked acts!
He had treated the lives of others as a game of blood and gore to relieve his boredom!
