Chapter 296: Chapter 261: Chi You Armor Displays Its Divine Power

Word has it that two Bodhisattvas and a Buddha came from Mount Meru with the intent of capturing Princess Iron Fan and bringing her back to Mount Meru to report to Tathagata.

Kong Xuan’s Five-Colored Divine Light was formidable, but it was no match for the equally mighty Banana Leaf Fan. Moreover, it seemed as if Kong Xuan wasn’t putting in his full effort. Naturally, that was the perception of Shiqi Buddha, who felt that ever since individuals like Donghuang Taiyi stirred trouble in Mount Meru, Kong Xuan had been acting a bit off.

"Peacock Great Ming King Bodhisattva, put in some more effort and seize her Banana Leaf Fan!" Shiqi Buddha shouted.

"How could it be that easy! This Banana Leaf Fan was forged by the integration of the Innate Primordial Qi with the Root of Xun and is beyond the Five Elements. How can I seize it?" Kong Xuan couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, "Magical Treasures that aren’t governed by the Five Elements are harder for me to capture. Moreover, she has long refined the fan and has nearly merged it with her flesh. Snatching it away is no easy task!"

Hearing this, Shiqi Buddha fell silent and realized they could only rely on the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon to subdue Princess Iron Fan.

Just as the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon was about to make his move and capture Princess Iron Fan, the Ox Demon King fell from the sky and launched a punch straight at the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon’s head!

The Great Mighty Celestial Dragon was startled and hastily dodged. The vast force of the punch alone was terrifying, causing his skin to sting from the blow!

"Ox Demon King!" The Great Mighty Celestial Dragon frowned, not expecting the assailant to be the Ox Demon King, who had suddenly become so powerful.

Of course, the Ox Demon King was formidable. He was now clad in the Chi You Armor, having fused with the remnant soul of Chi You to nearly possess the strength of a creator. Compared to him, the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon was vastly inferior!

The Chi You Armor, an object that defied the heavens, was reforged by Laojun in violation of the Heavenly Dao. But fortunately, at that time, the Nine Heavens hid within the Heaven-Avoiding Coffin to recuperate, leaving no one to oversee the universe. The Heavenly Dao possessed willpower but weaker self-consciousness, so it failed to notice Laojun’s transgression against the Heavens.

The Ox Demon King yelled, "Great Mighty Celestial Dragon, the last time we fought on Mount Meru, you left me injured, but this time I will take your life!"

Seeing that he was about to capture Iron Fan, only to have the Ox Demon King intervene, the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon couldn’t help but burn with anger. Moreover, someone daring to challenge him in a contest of physical might was a provocation. With a body unparalleled and the power to shake Mount Sumeru, this was the first to be so arrogantly brazen since the Daoist Equal to Heaven!

The Great Mighty Celestial Dragon folded his hands together, chanting, "Om, Mani, Padme, Hum! Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Visualization!"

Behind the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon appeared a majestic golden Divine Dragon, thick as a barrel and hundreds of yards long, its sight alone inspiring terror.

"Heaven Breaking Strike!" roared the Ox Demon King, his fists clenching as if possessed by Chi You, and he pummeled down towards the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon.

The self-crafted technique "Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Visualization" by the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon was a peerless Divine Skill to enhance the body. The Ox Demon King, possessing the lineage of the ancient witches and wearing the Chi You Armor, had an even more formidable body! Neither willing to back down, they chose to clash with their physical might head-on, both their bodies matching all Divine Skills, ready to shatter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"Boom!"

On colliding, it was like a comet striking the moon, emitting a radiant glow of ten thousand feet, red light and Buddha Light intertwining, the giant dragon behind the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon fiercely roaring. From this collision, the victor was clear; the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon’s fists burst open, blood splattered, and he was sent flying, skimming the ground, crashing into the mountainside and nearly snapping the whole mountain in half.

Kong Xuan glanced sideways, still composed, continuing to wield his Five-Colored Divine Light to block the Banana Leaf Fan. The fan’s power intensified with each swing, and having combined the Yin and Yang, the wind now carried a trace of Purifying Purple Flame, a fire imbued in Laojun’s prolonged alchemy experience. Now, with the fire carried by the wind’s momentum, it surged like a tidal wave, seemingly leaving no hope for survival.

Kong Xuan formed a Dharma Seal with his hands, and the Five-Colored Divine Light surged like a tidal wave. The Formation laid out by Shiqi Buddha also grew stronger and eventually managed to just barely hold back Princess Iron Fan’s Banana Leaf Fan.

"Peacock Great Ming King Bodhisattva, if you don’t put in more effort, the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva is afraid he’ll be beaten to death by the Ox Demon King! When Buddha Ancestor asks us about our failure, how will we explain ourselves?" Shiqi Buddha shouted loudly.

Kong Xuan let out a fierce yell, seemingly putting in more effort, but he said, "Shiqi Buddha, it’s not that I’m not trying, but this Banana Leaf Fan is too powerful! Now the flames are being fanned by the wind, and the Purifying Purple Flames have even started to burn! Who would dare to touch these purple flames? Even my Five-Colored Divine Light could accidentally ignite in them."

Shiqi Buddha felt incredibly frustrated; he had not expected that capturing a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal woman would prove impossible—an utter loss of face!

"You two bald donkeys think you can capture me? Pure fantasy! Wind and fire arise!" Princess Iron Fan uttered softly, with a shake and a sway of the Banana Leaf Fan, its might intensified, and endless wind fire bore down on them.

The Purifying Purple Flame could burn away everything in this world just like the Karmic Fire could. Even Kong Xuan’s Five-Colored Divine Light would inadvertently be ignited by the Purifying Purple Flame.

Shiqi Buddha and Kong Xuan worked side by side to resist wave after wave of Princess Iron Fan’s attacks. Shiqi Buddha’s avatars were destroyed one after another, naturally becoming stronger each time; yet, as the power of the Banana Leaf Fan continued to escalate, their divine skills seemed to possess their own unique similarities. Now, he too had grievances he couldn’t voice.

Kong Xuan’s expression remained unchanged, still emitting Five-Colored Divine Light calmly and continuously, preventing the Purifying Purple Flame from reaching him and Shiqi Buddha.

The Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon clashed fiercely with the Ox Demon King again, but was sent flying after a few exchanges. Fortunately for him, his physical body was unparalleled, and with his strong mana, minor injuries could heal in the blink of an eye.

While the physical body of the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon was formidable, it was overshadowed by the Ox Demon King clad in the Chi You Armor. Chi You was known as the War God in ancient times! Had not the Eastern Emperor crafted the Xuanyuan Sword, Chi You would likely have not been utterly defeated.

"Bang! Bang!"

The body of the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon split open, and many half-golden droplets of blood flowed out. He was currently practicing the cultivation of a Buddha status, hence half of his blood had already turned golden. If possible to keep cultivating, all of his blood would turn to gold!

"Ox-headed monster, cease your violence!" a loud shout came, and it was the Buddha of Immeasurable Life who had arrived.

Buddha of Immeasurable Life was quite the regular combatant, although he was defeated every time he came—truly a case of repeatedly defeated general. This time facing the Ox Demon King, he seemed to have some certainty of success.

It turned out that though Tathagata had sent these few individuals, he remained somewhat concerned and subsequently dispatched the Buddha of Immeasurable Life as well. Upon arrival, the Buddha of Immeasurable Life saw Kong Xuan and Shiqi Buddha locked in a standoff with Princess Iron Fan, while the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon was being put in an extremely sorry state by the Ox Demon King. Upon seeing the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon unable to hold on, he didn’t dare to delay any further and promptly stepped in to face the Ox Demon King.

The Ox Demon King was about to slay the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon when the Buddha of Immeasurable Life suddenly appeared, unwillingly interrupting him, he roared furiously, ready to kill the Buddha of Immeasurable Life as well.

Though the Buddha of Immeasurable Life had often been defeated, his mana was genuinely first-rate as a creator’s. Compared to the counterfeit Ox Demon King, he was somewhat stronger. Using his Divine Skills, he formed a Dharma Seal and collided with the Ox Demon King, forcing both several steps back.

Suddenly, the Ox Demon King drew his Mixed-Iron Staff and attacked the Buddha of Immeasurable Life. In response, the Buddha of Immeasurable Life took out the Vajra Pestle and shouted at the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon, "Go capture Princess Iron Fan! I will deal with this bull-headed monster!"

The Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon responded with a roar and charged at Princess Iron Fan. This time, there seemed to be a sense of certain victory.
