Chapter 527 - 521: The Flood Washes Over the Dragon King’s Temple
The Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings formed a grand constellation array, and above it, the energy bodies of the Twenty-Eight Constellations began to gather.
The Dragon of Metal, the Hornless Draconic Wood, the Fiery Tiger, the Moon Fox of the Heart...
The energy bodies of the Twenty-Eight Constellations continuously emitted various beams of energy.
Twenty-eight beams of energy directly shot toward Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva.
At this moment, Manjushri Bodhisattva was already at the end of his strength.
Manjushri Bodhisattva summoned his defensive treasure, the Green Lotus, from which a faint green light emanated, temporarily protecting him and Manjushri Bodhisattva.
It was clear that this protective green light was achieved at the expense of the Green Lotus’s energy.
The petals of the Green Lotus began to fall one by one, the stem began drying up, and it withered at a visible speed.
Soon, under the stalemate with the twenty-eight energy beams, the Green Lotus completely depleted its energy, turning into a heap of ash.
Witnessing this scene, Manjushri Bodhisattva was greatly shocked.
However, there was no time for him to ponder, as the twenty-eight energy beams, after turning the Green Lotus to ash, once again surged toward Manjushri Bodhisattva.
"This is bad!"
"I’m doomed!" A thought arose in Manjushri Bodhisattva’s mind.
Almost instinctively, he raised his Flame Treasure Sword to shield himself.
"Boom!"
The twenty-eight energy beams struck the Flame Treasure Sword, causing Manjushri Bodhisattva’s hand holding the sword to tremble slightly.
He clenched his teeth, exerting all his strength to hold onto the sword.
Manjushri Bodhisattva held the Flame Treasure Sword against the twenty-eight energy beams, bearing an unimaginable pressure.
A tremendous force transmitted through the Flame Treasure Sword onto Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Manjushri Bodhisattva’s grip cracked, blood trickled down his wrist.
Then, his ten fingers started to twist, and even his arm bones began to deform.
Under the immense force, Manjushri Bodhisattva’s body crouched, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, eyes, and ears.
Manjushri Bodhisattva endured an immensely powerful force that threatened his life at any moment.
Manjushri Bodhisattva gritted his teeth and persisted, even though his endurance was nearing its limit.
Manjushri Bodhisattva understood that under no circumstances should he let go.
If he did, the entire twenty-eight energy beams would strike him and Manjushri Bodhisattva, turning them to ash like the Green Lotus, completely obliterated.
Manjushri Bodhisattva could still hold on, but his Flame Treasure Sword could not.
After all, the Flame Treasure Sword was an offensive treasure and not skilled in defense.
At this moment, a crisp "crack, crack" sound was heard, as dense cracks began appearing on the Flame Treasure Sword.
In despair, Manjushri Bodhisattva knew that the shattering of the Flame Treasure Sword would spell the end for him and Manjushri Bodhisattva.
More and more cracks appeared on the Flame Treasure Sword, with an imminent danger of breaking apart.
At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Peacock Great Ming King arrived.
Seeing the plight of Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva, the Peacock Great Ming King was immediately enraged.
The Peacock Great Ming King believed that because Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva were close to him, they were assigned such a dangerous task by the Medicine King Buddha.
Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva’s plight was caused by him.
The Peacock Great Ming King, known for his loyalty, couldn’t stand seeing his friends in such dire straits because of him and was furious.
"What monster dares harm my friends!" The Peacock Great Ming King roared, summoning the Five-Colored Divine Light, sweeping toward the constellation array formed by the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings.
With the sweep of the Five-Colored Divine Light, an overwhelming aura of terror emanated from the brilliant hues.
Who was the Peacock Great Ming King anyway??
As a Tier Two Peak expert, in this realm, by combat strength, only the World Honored was his rival, aside from the Peacock Great Ming King.
Even though the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings could defeat Manjushri Bodhisattva after forming their constellation array, before the Peacock Great Ming King, they were merely insignificant.
Seeing the terror-filled energy of the Five-Colored Divine Light sweeping in, the Twenty-Eight Constellations were overwhelmed and immediately switched from offense to focus on defending against the Peacock Great Ming King’s attack.
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, the Five-Colored Divine Light struck the constellation array, and its defense crumbled under the Peacock Great Ming King’s attack.
The Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings fell from the sky, landing embarrassedly on the ground.
The Five-Colored Divine Light continued its momentum after shattering the constellation array’s defense, sweeping toward the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings.
The Peacock Great Ming King clearly intended to kill the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings and Black Dragon Heaven to avenge his friends.
The Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings, being mere Tier Three Peak, faced certain doom if swept by the Peacock Great Ming King’s Five-Colored Divine Light.
Fortunately, Elder Bai, Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, Black Bear Spirit, Golden-Winged Roc arrived just in time.
Just as the Five-Colored Divine Light was about to strike the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings, Elder Bai, Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, Black Bear Spirit, and Golden-Winged Roc acted together.
A white, a green, a yellow, and a gold energy combined to form a massive shield, saving the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings.
After Elder Bai and the others blocked the attack from the Peacock Great Ming King, both sides exchanged confused glances.
"Kong Xuan, what madness is this!" The Golden-Winged Roc was the first to speak, questioning sternly.
From the Golden-Winged Roc’s point of view, to attack his own people for a few people from the World Honored One Sect was surely wrong.
In the Peacock Great Ming King’s view, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva were close friends, and he couldn’t stand by while they were in danger.
Moreover, the Peacock Great Ming King was unaware that Black Dragon Heaven and the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings were allies.
Today’s incident was a big misunderstanding.
The Peacock Great Ming King ignored the Golden-Winged Roc and instead looked at Elder Bai.
He feared he might lose control and beat the Golden-Winged Roc later.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, what’s going on?" The Peacock Great Ming King asked Elder Bai.
At this moment, Lin Yuan arrived leisurely.
From the appearance of the Peacock Great Ming King to the response of Elder Bai and the others, rushing to the rescue—all happened in a mere breath.
The Peacock Great Ming King and Elder Bai were Tier Two Peak experts, their speed was immense.
Lin Yuan, merely a Tier Three, couldn’t possibly match their speed.
By the time Lin Yuan arrived, the first confrontation had already ended.
Luckily, Elder Bai and the others intervened, saving Black Dragon Heaven and the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings.
Otherwise, the dean’s plan would have been foiled by the Peacock Great Ming King.
Seeing Lin Yuan arrive, Elder Bai said to the Peacock Great Ming King: "Let your son-in-law explain!"
