This charm seemed ordinary at first glance, floating about like a leaf, unremarkable and inconspicuous.
However, Xuan Kong’er felt an immense pressure, as if a mountain peak were resting atop his head, making it difficult to even catch his breath.
“What the hell is this thing?”
Feeling an inexplicable pressure, Xuan Kong’er was startled and quickly turned his Soul-Confusing Mirror towards the charm.
At the same time, Xuan Kong’er shifted his body, attempting to dodge the charm.
Yet, no matter how he dodged, the charm always hovered right above his head…
Needless to say, this was very eerie.
“What in the world is this thing?”
The pressure kept increasing, and Xuan Kong’er began to panic slightly. The effect of the Soul-Confusing Mirror on the charm wasn’t obvious, which only deepened his confusion and growing alarm.
As for charms, Xuan Kong’er was extremely skilled.
The principle behind high-level charms was simply using special symbols to draw upon stored entities within virtual space and release them at once to inflict massive damage on an opponent. However, this charm was clearly not that simple. Even before it was fully activated, it already exerted a pressure of thousands of pounds. Moreover, it could track its target and stick to it relentlessly. Was this really still a charm? It was even more terrifying than a puppet!
“Buzz!”
Under the mirror’s illumination, the charm suddenly disintegrated. A strange sound rang out, and suddenly, a massive spatial rift tore open in the sky. A pitch-black mountain abruptly descended…
“Boom!”
The mountain landed with a tremendous crash.
“Scary!”
Xuan Kong’er reacted quickly, instantly dodging the mountain’s crushing weight. Staring in shock at the colossal peak, he thought to himself, “Is this the Buddha’s technique? Actually summoning a giant mountain from the Void Realm to crush someone—how utterly monstrous!”
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, the mountain vanished, and the spatial rift disappeared as well.
No more charms fell from the sky…
The Buddhist chants from Ling City also seemed to weaken somewhat.
Looking around, Xuan Kong’er suddenly felt very small. He had already used a Primordial Treasure, yet hadn’t managed to harm Ling City at all. This… was simply too shameful!
The Buddha truly was the Buddha—his magical powers were indeed formidable!
“I won’t admit defeat. I’ve handled all Three Realms, so how could a mere Buddha Land possibly stop me?”
Xuan Kong’er was naturally a stubborn fighter. Immediately, he channeled his magical energy, entered the Time-Protecting Magical Pearl, and, enduring immense pressure, forcefully flew into the air. Then, he once again activated his Soul-Confusing Mirror, aiming it at the giant pagoda…
This time, no Buddhist chants arose.
However, shortly afterward, four charms suddenly and silently appeared around Xuan Kong’er’s body… indeed, they just appeared like that. These four charms were colored cyan, red, yellow, and white respectively, floating like ghosts around Xuan Kong’er…
Seeing these charms, Xuan Kong’er quickly withdrew his mirror, became alert, and prepared to dodge at any moment.
Yet, the charms did not move, remaining completely still.
It was as if they were saying, “Don’t push your luck, kid. Push it further, and we won’t be polite anymore!”
Being timid or cowardly was simply not in Xuan Kong’er’s nature.
“I have a Primordial Treasure protecting me. What do I have to fear?” Xuan Kong’er thought rapidly, immediately channeling his magic to suppress three of the charms while directing his mirror at the red one.
“Whoosh!”
The red charm suddenly flew to Xuan Kong’er’s face and dissipated. A spatial rift tore open, spewing forth a massive surge of crimson flames that engulfed Xuan Kong’er, scorching him relentlessly… These flames were extracted by the Buddha from the depths of the sun, a fire even fiercer than the Triple True Fire.
“Haha! Is that all—just flames?”
Sensing the intensity of the flames, Xuan Kong’er felt confident that the Time-Protecting Magical Pearl could withstand them, and thus he exhaled in relief inwardly.
However, immediately afterward, the cyan charm also dissipated. A surge of cyan energy entered the crimson flames, instantly doubling their intensity!
Even so, the Primordial Treasure, the Time-Protecting Magical Pearl, still managed to endure.
However, at this level of intensity, Xuan Kong’er could no longer even smile.
The inferno raged for quite some time before gradually dying down.
“Hahahaha! Old Buddha, is that all you’ve got? Feels nice and warm! Hahaha…” Seeing the flames extinguish, Xuan Kong’er immediately became smug. “Even the Buddha of the Western Paradise, who cultivated into a Primordial Body, is nothing special after all!”
“Swish!”
Suddenly, the sound of rushing water erupted!
Startled, Xuan Kong’er quickly turned his head and saw one charm transform into a massive surge of white water, instantly enveloping him.
“Crack…”
“Crash…”
“Crack… crash…”
The Yin-cold water violently struck Xuan Kong’er’s Primordial Treasure, causing the treasure’s surface to crack repeatedly!
“This… this is actually Nine Yin Water! Buddha, you’re so underhanded!”
Xuan Kong’er was shocked. But soon, he arrogantly burst into laughter again. “Haha, Buddha, you’re still not impressive. Don’t you know I can forge treasures? As long as I reforge this treasure, your plan will completely fail. You still can’t beat me. If you know what’s good for you, hand Shui Miao over to me immediately, or else I’ll destroy your entire Buddha Land.”
Though Xuan Kong’er was extremely arrogant, he remained vigilant, secretly observing the last remaining charm.
Moreover, Xuan Kong’er forcefully channeled his magic, sensing the surrounding energy, trying to locate the hidden opponent.
Xuan Kong’er had some doubts—the person fighting him might not actually be the Buddha.
Three of the four charms had already been activated, leaving only the last golden charm motionless.
Suddenly, Xuan Kong’er flipped his hand and aimed the Soul-Confusing Mirror at the charm…
“Whoosh…”
“Clang!”
Instantly, the golden charm transformed into a golden spear, striking the Soul-Confusing Mirror with lightning speed. The mirror was a Primordial Treasure, yet upon impact, it emitted a “crack” sound—the mirror’s surface had actually developed a fissure!
“Zooom!”
Xuan Kong’er reacted just as swiftly. He grabbed the golden spear, shook his arm, and forcefully channeled his magic into the spear, attempting to refine and claim it for himself.
“Buzzzzz…”
But at that moment, a massive golden alms bowl suddenly flew down from the sky!
Surrounded by auspicious clouds and radiating golden light, the bowl was clearly an extremely powerful treasure, its rank undoubtedly no lower than a supreme divine artifact.
“Hmph! So you’re definitely not the Buddha. If that’s the case, then prepare to die!”
Seeing the golden alms bowl, Xuan Kong’er immediately concluded that whoever was fighting him was definitely not the Buddha himself.
Since it was someone else, Xuan Kong’er now had no restraints.
He immediately unleashed his full power, instantly refining the golden spear in his hand while activating several magical treasures. His body also vanished in an instant!
It turned out Xuan Kong’er had secretly prepared an escape route.
He hadn’t used his full strength yet; even when activating the Primordial Treasure, he had only used half his power.
Now, he would exert his utmost strength to swiftly subdue his opponent.
“Bang!”
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Suddenly, a series of deafening cymbal sounds erupted from atop the towering pagoda that pierced the clouds!
“Hmm? What’s going on?”
Upon hearing the sounds, Shui Miao and others immediately opened their eyes and stood up.
“Shui Miao, Emperor Wen Chang, De Jun Tianyi, Holy Mother Shui Tianyi—hurry and assist me! I’m barely holding off Xuan Kong’er’s attack!”
Suddenly, an old man’s voice rang out from the air.
This voice belonged to the elder monk who had previously welcomed Shui Miao. His tone clearly carried urgency, panic, and tension.
