Chapter 623 - 617: The World Honored’s Scar
Buddha Realm.
Golden sky.
Under that golden sky, it’s as if vast expanses of Five-Colored clouds have emerged.
However, these clouds are filled with murderous intent.
At this moment, what’s above the sky is not any ordinary cloud.
It is the Five-Colored Divine Light unleashed by the Peacock Great Ming King.
Terrifying murderous intent permeates the sky of the Buddha Realm.
By reason, the Five-Colored Divine Light of the Peacock Great Ming King shouldn’t be so strong.
The reason why the Peacock Great Ming King can exhibit such power now is due to Wa Huang.
It is because of absorbing the Five Elements Spiritual Pearl gifted by Wa Huang that the Peacock Great Ming King’s Five-Colored Divine Light could be strengthened to such an extent.
"Kong Xuan! Kong Xuan!"
"You’ve grown so much more than back then!"
"What a pity! One misstep makes every step slow, and you’re always one step behind me!"
"Starting today, you can no longer keep up with my pace!" After sensing the aura emanating from the Peacock Great Ming King, the World Honored, who was logging, couldn’t help but exclaim.
The World Honored has lived through nine lives, and in these nine lives, he has witnessed countless geniuses.
Among those numerous geniuses the World Honored has seen, only the Peacock Great Ming King is worthy of being called a peer.
But, as the World Honored said himself, one misstep leads to another.
A slight difference can lead to a huge error.
Back in the day, during the battle between the Peacock Great Ming King and the World Honored, the World Honored barely won against the Peacock Great Ming King.
The Peacock Great Ming King has always been attempting to catch up with the World Honored, trying to surpass him.
Little did he know, that battle turned out to be the closest gap between him and the World Honored.
After that, the World Honored grew stronger and stronger, gradually reaching the point where he could suppress the entire Mysterious World by his own power.
Deep down, the Peacock Great Ming King also understands that he can no longer catch up with the World Honored.
Now, if anyone still has the hope of keeping up with the World Honored’s steps, only Lin Yuan has this hope.
"Slow is slow!"
"When I was young, Kong Xuan aspired to be invincible as well!"
"But as I aged, I realized, even if one becomes invincible, what does it matter?"
"Compared to invincibility, I hope more not to have regrets," saying this, Kong Xuan asked the World Honored, "World Honored, even if you achieve enlightenment today, what then?"
"Can your past regrets be fulfilled?"
"Even if you achieve enlightenment, can that woman from the City of Sin be resurrected?"
The woman from the City of Sin mentioned by the Peacock Great Ming King was the mother of Lady Ming King, the only woman the World Honored ever loved.
To be able to make the World Honored fall in love, one can see how deep the World Honored’s feelings are for her.
"Yes!"
"Of course, yes, as long as I succeed in achieving enlightenment, this world will be at my command!"
"Even if her soul has dispersed, I can still use the Power of the World to resurrect her!"
"Revive... my...!" The World Honored howled at the sky, his expression somewhat frantic.
From his crazed expression, it’s apparent why he’s so obsessed with achieving enlightenment.
Clearly, it’s not only about the desire for power but also an obsession to resurrect the woman from back then.
Deep feelings, profound love.
Even the World Honored has a woman he cannot let go of.
As the World Honored’s words fell, the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder spoke up again: "World Honored, don’t deceive yourself."
"That woman has already dispersed; even if you achieve enlightenment, can you truly resurrect her?"
"Is the her you resurrect truly the same as before?"
"No, it’s not!"
"The one you resurrect is merely a puppet with her appearance and memories."
"World Honored, regardless of how strong you are, you’re just a clown in matters of love."
One must admit, when it comes to emotions, women are more adept!
The Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder’s words were like needles, piercing the World Honored’s heart.
As the saying goes, don’t hit someone in the face or expose their flaws when cursing.
The Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder was intent on exposing the World Honored’s wounds.
While the World Honored seeks self-deception, the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder insists on uncovering his lies.
If you were to say the World Honored was weak and a noob, he definitely wouldn’t refute.
Because the World Honored knows he is invincible, and no one can challenge him.
But the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder’s words certainly enraged the World Honored.
At this moment, there’s a certain rage of having his lies exposed.
This is why lies don’t harm, but the truth is a sharp knife!
"Bullshit!"
"You’re spewing nonsense; she will definitely come back to life!"
"When the time comes, I will be the Buddha of Western Heaven, and she will be the Buddha Mother of Western Heaven, and we can forever reside together," the World Honored was still trying to argue, but his voice grew smaller and smaller.
At this moment, Lin Yuan noticed that mentioning the woman from the City of Sin indeed touched the World Honored’s emotions.
While the World Honored was arguing with them, he had already unconsciously stopped the action of chopping the Bodhi Tree.
"Continue!"
"The World Honored’s action stopped, continue mentioning the woman from the City of Sin," Lin Yuan silently transmitted to the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder.
With Lin Yuan’s reminder, the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder also noticed this point, thinking, if they’d known mentioning that woman could stop the World Honored’s actions, they wouldn’t have exhausted themselves battling him!
"World Honored, you’re merely deceiving yourself."
"You’ve already lost her, and she’ll never return, never!"
"You’re just a useless man; if you were useful, she wouldn’t have died..." The Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder continued to touch the World Honored’s most fragile nerves.
"You despicable fox, shut up, shut up!" the World Honored screamed hysterically.
The more the World Honored asked the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder to shut up, the more she persisted in speaking: "World Honored, is your so-called resurrection truly for her good?"
"What you need is merely a substitute who carries her appearance..."
Having either failed to out-argue the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder or saw through Lin Yuan’s delaying tactic.
The World Honored simply cast a spell to seal his hearing senses, avoiding the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder’s words.
Indeed, after the World Honored sealed his hearing, he found much peace.
Ignoring Lin Yuan and the others, the World Honored calmed down and continued to chop the Bodhi Tree.
"Can’t talk back, so clams up?"
"This World Honored somewhat appears to be a sore loser," Lin Yuan murmured.
However, by this time, the Peacock Great Ming King had completed gathering power.
This strike, as long as it could shatter the golden treasure tower hanging in midair, could still prevent the World Honored from chopping the tree.
At this moment, the Five-Colored clouds covering the sky had already condensed together.
From the concentrated Five-Colored Divine Light, a terrifying sense of oppression emanated.
Within the Void.
The Demon Lord watched the Five-Colored Divine Light gathered by the Peacock Great Ming King and mumbled in confusion: "There’s something wrong!"
"In just a few days, how did the Peacock Great Ming King’s strength improve so quickly?"
"A few days ago, when he fell into my hands, he clearly wasn’t this strong."
