Chapter 429: Chapter 429: I, Old Sun, Will Help You Settle This Score! (2nd Update!)

The Swastika Buddha Seal, Tathagata Buddha’s ultimate move, possessed immense strength; although Leng Xuan and the others had formed the Great Zhou Tian Ten Directions Rotation Formation, increasing their combat power several-fold, it was still somewhat inferior compared to Tathagata Buddha’s ultimate move. No matter how the spindle-shaped protective shield of the Great Zhou Tian Ten Directions Rotation Formation spun, generating tremendous vortex power, it still couldn’t withstand the pressure of the Swastika Buddha Seal and was being pressed down towards the ground, seemingly about to be suppressed just like Sun Wukong.

“Wukong!”

Suddenly, a delicate shout came from a distance; a fairy dressed in purple flew in on clouds, entering the battlefield, it was none other than Zi Lan Fairy.

Zi Lan Fairy caught sight at once of the Swastika Buddha Seal pressing down on Leng Xuan and the others’ Great Zhou Tian Ten Directions Rotation Formation. Beneath the intense, dazzling light, Zi Lan Fairy couldn’t clearly see whether Sun Wukong was inside the formation and assumed he was in there with Leng Xuan and the others, currently at a disadvantage, about to be suppressed by the Swastika Buddha Seal. Her heart immediately raced with urgency, and she pulled out a magical treasure from her bosom, uttering a spell before throwing it at the Swastika Buddha Seal.

It was the Void-Breaking Hairpin, a supreme treasure gifted to Zi Lan Fairy by the Queen Mother. Although it was only of a medium-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure level, it had an extremely effective purpose – it specialized in breaking Qi Force!

The Swastika Buddha Seal cast by Tathagata Buddha also belonged to a type of Qi Force–a formidable qi wall formed through the combination of Domain Power and his own Buddha Primordial Force that connected with the Heavenly Dao to condense Great Dao Runes, indestructible to all but most fearful of treasures like the Void-Breaking Hairpin.

Pff!

A tiny hole was punctured right in the center of the Swastika Buddha Seal by the Void-Breaking Hairpin.

“Trouble!”

Tathagata Buddha’s heart clenched; he was very clear about the vulnerabilities of his Swastika Buddha Seal. In a direct confrontation, it was almost unbeatable throughout the Three Realms, but it was most vulnerable to this kind of magical treasure. Despite only a tiny hole being made, the arrangement of the Great Dao Runes on it was completely disrupted by the hit.

Under such circumstances, the strength of the Swastika Buddha Seal was bound to be greatly diminished. How could Leng Xuan and the others miss such an opportunity?

As expected, with the Swastika Buddha Seal pierced by the Void-Breaking Hairpin, the once unified and grand strength drastically weakened. Leng Xuan and the others, who were being severely oppressed by Tathagata Buddha’s Swastika Buddha Seal and on the verge of being suppressed, certainly wouldn’t let such a chance slip away. Roaring furiously, they exerted all their might, fully activating the Great Zhou Tian Ten Directions Rotation Formation for a counterattack, pushing the Swastika Buddha Seal back.

“Zhou Tian rotation, unparalleled Yin Yang!”

A huge Taiji Yin Yang Disk appeared above the Great Zhou Tian Ten Directions Rotation Formation, rapidly shrinking into a black and white drill bit that targeted the tiny hole created on the Swastika Buddha Seal, drilling into it. Amidst the intense friction noises, the original thumb-sized hole expanded continuously, and the Great Dao Runes on the entire Swastika Buddha Seal unraveled bit by bit, eventually dissipating completely and falling apart into nothingness.

The Yin Yang drill bit kept shooting towards the vault of heaven, fiercely striking Tathagata Buddha’s palm.

Drip-drop!

A strand of gold blood, shining with Buddha’s Light, dripped down from the sky, creating a bottomless hole upon striking the ground.

The blood of a Saint, capable of crushing the eternal sky! That was the sacred blood of Tathagata Buddha!

Unlike the saintly blood within Sun Wukong, although Tathagata Buddha’s saintly blood was also golden, the vitality it contained was far less than that of Sun Wukong’s. This was the biggest difference in possessing a Chaotic Divine Body; in terms of recovery ability, Sun Wukong was indeed unparalleled in the Three Realms, even a Heavenly Dao Saint like Tathagata Buddha couldn’t compare!

Leng Xuan and the others combined their forces to release a Yin Yang drill that actually broke through the Tathagata Buddha’s Undying Golden Body, wounding him!

Though it was just a minor injury, and even a single drop of holy blood was enough to heal the wound, this was still the first time that Tathagata Buddha had been injured and bled since attaining Buddhahood. He looked somewhat astonished at the rapidly healing wound in the palm of his right hand, as a cold aura suddenly rose from his body.

“It’s all because you, this demoness, interfered and blocked me; otherwise, these demons would have been executed long ago! I will spare you no mercy!”

A glint of bone-chilling coldness flashed through the eyes of the Tathagata Buddha as he pointed a finger towards Zi Lan Fairy in the distant clouds, and instantly, boundless Finger Force pierced through space to appear in front of Zi Lan Fairy. With the abilities of Tathagata Buddha, a Slaying One Corpse Merit Saint, how could Zi Lan Fairy possibly have withstood it?

Before she could react, Zi Lan Fairy was struck squarely in the chest by the boundless Finger Force. She let out a pitiful scream as she was sent flying backward, blood spraying across the sky. If it weren’t for the critical moment when a stream of purple light from the Immortal Robe on her body blocked Tathagata Buddha’s Finger Force, greatly weakening its power, Zi Lan Fairy would likely have perished under that single blow!

“Zi Lan!”

Sun Wukong’s anguished roar rose from beneath the Sky Tablet. Although he was suppressed under it by the Swastika Buddha Seal, he was still very clear about the situation outside; he could see clearly how Leng Xuan and the others formed the Great Zhou Tian Ten Directions Rotation Formation to resist Tathagata Buddha and buy him time. Naturally, he also saw the scene where Zi Lan Fairy was struck by Tathagata Buddha’s Finger Force, coughing up blood and thrown into the air.

Zi Lan Fairy was only at the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal; how could she have been fine after receiving that enraged blow from Tathagata Buddha?

Boundless rage surged from the depths of Sun Wukong’s heart, turning into a surging force that poured into his fists. He struck at the Sky Tablet overhead ferociously, “Bastard! Break for me, Old Sun!”

A fierce bellow followed by a thunderous boom, the entire Sky Tablet shattered apart, and Sun Wukong’s figure turned into a beam of golden light that shot skyward, flying towards Zi Lan Fairy and catching her in his arms.

“Zi Lan, Zi Lan, are you alright? Wake up, don’t scare me!”

Seeing Zi Lan Fairy with blood-stained clothes, a pale complexion, and her eyes tightly closed, Sun Wukong panicked, experiencing an unprecedented sensation of heartache as if venomous insects were tearing through his chest, “Wake up, Zi Lan!”

“Wu, Wukong…”

Perhaps it was Sun Wukong’s anxious call that roused her, but Zi Lan Fairy woke from her heavy injuries and fainting. Struggling, she opened her eyes, weakly twitched the corners of her mouth as she looked at Sun Wukong, “You, are you alright?”

“I’m fine! Old Sun’s alright, in good shape! You fool, who asked you to come? Do you know who that was? That was Tathagata Buddha! Have you lost your mind?”

Sun Wukong’s eyes were bloodshot, and tears began to well up as he held back his heartache and bellowed.

“I, I don’t want to be scared from afar anymore, cough cough… even if, even if I die, I want to be with you…”

Zi Lan Fairy smiled, and though her smile was so wistful, it only made Sun Wukong’s heart ache all the more!

“Stop talking! Drink this wine quickly and heal up! This account, Old Sun will settle it for you!”
