Chapter 688 - 682: The Buddha Is Blocked
This time, the key to Buddha’s coercion of Wa Huang lies in abducting the Peacock Great Ming King and imprisoning him in his own Palm Buddha Country.
However, his mistake was also in abducting the Peacock Great Ming King and imprisoning him in his Palm Buddha Country.
Indeed, this is both the success and the failure.
One must know, the Peacock Great Ming King carries a mark left by the Yin Celestial Son.
Through this mark, the Yin Celestial Son can observe the surroundings of the Peacock Great Ming King at any time.
Meanwhile, the Peacock Great Ming King can also use this mark to contact the Yin Celestial Son.
The Yin Celestial Son must also cultivate and cannot keep an eye on the Peacock Great Ming King constantly.
Generally speaking, apart from the Yin Celestial Son actively checking, it is usually the Peacock Great Ming King who actively calls the Yin Celestial Son.
A major event like this has happened in Wa Huang’s Palace, coupled with being abducted by Buddha.
The Peacock Great Ming King immediately realized something was wrong.
Thus, he repeatedly called out the Yin Celestial Son’s name in his heart.
The Peacock Great Ming King called out incessantly, while the Yin Celestial Son’s consciousness observed the situation around him through the Peacock Great Ming King’s body.
The consciousness of the Yin Celestial Son had just arrived and before understanding what was happening, Buddha was banished into a time-space turbulence by Wa Huang.
Buddha entered the time-space turbulence, taking the Peacock Great Ming King with him, naturally also taking the Yin Celestial Son’s consciousness.
The consciousness of the Yin Celestial Son attached to the body of the Peacock Great Ming King and was brought into the void turbulence by Buddha.
After observing his surroundings, the Yin Celestial Son finally realized what had happened.
Internal conflict?
Buddha, Demon Lord, and Wa Huang fighting?
It seems that Buddha and Demon Lord are attacking Wa Huang together?
But Wa Huang is no pushover, and at the critical moment, she banished Buddha into the void turbulence, creating an opportunity for a one-on-one against Demon Lord.
After roughly figuring out what had transpired, the expression of the Yin Celestial Son’s physical form in the Underworld grew increasingly grave.
The Yin Celestial Son pondered why Wa Huang could fight against Demon Lord and Buddha.
Is it really internal strife?
Or are they fighting to bait?
Is the Yin Celestial Son the bait?
"Is it possible they want to draw me in and attack me with the combined force of all three?" such a thought sprouted in the Yin Celestial Son’s mind.
After some consideration, the Yin Celestial Son muttered, "Wa Huang, Demon Lord, and Buddha are all bound by the oath of Heaven and cannot personally descend to Earth. As long as I remain in the Underworld, I am in an invincible position."
"No matter what, I must not follow their rhythm and enter the void."
"Currently, we are in a position of advantage, and there is no need to go into the void seeking this opportunity. Otherwise, if it truly is a trap, it will be a complete loss."
"Since the truth is uncertain, I will assist Wa Huang once. Let’s see if they are truly fighting or pretending."
It’s impossible for the Yin Celestial Son to go to the void physically, but he can intervene remotely to help Wa Huang block Buddha.
Intervening remotely, the Yin Celestial Son certainly can’t defeat Buddha, but he can hold him off for a while without issue.
The longer Buddha is trapped in the time-space turbulence, the more advantageous it is for the Yin Celestial Son.
Furthermore, through this, the Yin Celestial Son could determine if Wa Huang, Demon Lord, and Buddha are truly engaged in internal strife.
Or designing a trap to target him.
Thinking of this, the Yin Celestial Son immediately began casting magic remotely, creating assistance for Buddha’s return.
If trying to escape from the time-space turbulence, the first step.
Is to find the correct time node and spatial coordinates among countless chaotic times and spaces.
This task, logically speaking, is not difficult.
Merely, finding the correct time node and spatial coordinates is a bit more cumbersome.
In the void, Buddha roughly calculated that it would take him about half an hour to find the correct spatial coordinates and time node.
However, when Buddha found the correct spatial coordinates and time node, and was ready to tear through the void and return.
He suddenly realized he was wrong!
After tearing through the void, he was supposed to return to Wa Huang’s Palace.
But Buddha found himself in another new time-space turbulence.
"Wrong?"
"How could it be wrong?"
"Could there be a mistake somewhere?" Buddha appeared in the new time-space turbulence, looking bewildered.
Calculating the correct time node and spatial coordinates, for a Tier One Powerhouse, should hardly have errors.
Thinking of this, Buddha hurriedly re-deduced the correct time node and spatial coordinates.
After a round of deduction, Buddha found his deduction was correct.
Given his deduction was correct, only one possibility remained.
Someone had tampered with the surrounding time nodes and spatial coordinates.
"Damn it!" After cursing, Buddha shouted into the surrounding void: "Who?"
"Who is it?"
"Come out, you dare to come out!"
Regarding whoever was obstructing his return, Buddha’s mind was also uncertain.
Logically, after Wa Huang and Demon Lord started fighting, they should be too busy for other concerns.
If it’s not Wa Huang, then who could be blocking him?
Buddha shouted several times, yet no one replied.
"Not coming out, alright?"
"I’m leaving!" Saying that, Buddha prepared to tear through the void again.
Knowing someone secretly stopped him, Buddha prepared defensively; it was not as easy to stop him by disturbing the time node and spatial coordinates anymore.
If the Yin Celestial Son doesn’t intervene at this time, Buddha really could successfully leave.
At this point, for the Yin Celestial Son, he must intervene.
Even though intervening remotely makes it difficult to hold off Buddha for long.
However much time he can hold off, he will.
The longer the delay, the more beneficial it is for the Yin Celestial Son.
After all, as long as his physical form doesn’t enter the void, there’s no loss for the Yin Celestial Son.
Moreover, when the Yin Celestial Son acts, it has a major advantage.
That is, it can sow discord between Wa Huang and Buddha, Demon Lord.
At this moment, when the Yin Celestial Son intervenes to help Wa Huang block Buddha, Wa Huang really has no words to defend herself.
Thinking of this, the Yin Celestial Son no longer hesitated, decisively intervening.
If he doesn’t act soon, Buddha could truly leave.
Wa Huang cast magic, condensing the power of the void around him into a Void Blade.
"Slash!"
The Void Blade suddenly flew out, slashing towards Buddha.
Seeing this, Buddha immediately activated his golden body Dharma form, striking towards the Void Blade.
Buddha is fighting personally, while the Yin Celestial Son is casting magic remotely, there’s a significant difference in their strength.
With one strike, the Void Blade immediately shattered to dust.
When the Yin Celestial Son didn’t act, Buddha couldn’t tell who was holding him back.
But when the Yin Celestial Son truly intervenes, even casting magic remotely, it would still leak some aura.
Since the Yin Celestial Son acted, Buddha already determined that the one secretly holding him back was indeed the Yin Celestial Son.
