Chapter 624 - 618: Driven into Disadvantage
When the Demon Lord said these words, Wa Huang couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty.
Wa Huang thought to herself, the reason he became so strong was all thanks to me!
After the Demon Lord finished speaking, both he and the Buddha turned their gaze towards Wa Huang.
Wa Huang thought for a moment, then brazenly lied, "This Peacock Great Ming King is exceptionally talented; a breakthrough at the last moment is not impossible."
"Precisely because of his exceptional talent, I went to great lengths to want him in Wa Huang’s Palace."
The Demon Lord and the Buddha found no fault with Wa Huang’s words.
After all, neither of them knew the inside story.
The Buddha thought for a moment and asked, "Wa Huang, shouldn’t he be in your Wa Huang’s Palace?"
"Why did you release him?"
This was something Wa Huang couldn’t hide, so she revealed her agreement with the Peacock Great Ming King and the vow he made to the Buddha and the Demon Lord.
After Wa Huang finished her explanation, the Demon Lord responded sourly, "Hmph!"
"Had I known you would release him, I should have killed him back then."
"Demon Lord, I exchanged him for news from the Daoist Ancestor!"
"We made a deal, are you blaming me?"
"That person belongs to my Wa Huang’s Palace; if I want to release him, I will."
"Even if trouble arises, it will be the World Honored causing me trouble, not you!" Wa Huang didn’t give the Demon Lord a good look.
Seeing the Demon Lord and Wa Huang about to clash again, the Buddha hurriedly mediated, "Come on, don’t argue, don’t argue!"
"The big picture is set, more or less a Peacock Great Ming King doesn’t change the overall situation."
Seeing the Demon Lord and Wa Huang ready to fight at any moment, the Buddha was also at his wit’s end.
At this moment, in the Buddha Realm, the Peacock Great Ming King had already made his move.
The Five-Colored Divine Light, which had been gathering power for a long time, heavily swept across the Golden Buddha Tower.
This strike was the strongest one in the Peacock Great Ming King’s life.
"Boom!"
The Five-Colored Divine Light struck the Golden Buddha, instantly, endless energy erupted like a volcanic explosion, gushing out.
The powerful impact wave caused by the energy flipped the Peacock Great Ming King over.
The piercing golden light collided with the Five-Colored energy, making it impossible for one to look directly at the battlefield.
In this energy shock wave, all the demon soldiers and demon generals emerging from the Golden Treasure Tower were turned to dust.
As the golden light and the five-colored glow all dissipated, Lin Yuan and his team saw the Golden Treasure Tower again.
Despite the fierce energy shock wave just now, the Golden Treasure Tower still stood there.
It seemed to have suffered no damage.
Seeing this, the members of the Anti-Buddha Alliance seemed somewhat despairing.
The Peacock Great Ming King had struck such a powerful blow, yet the Golden Treasure Tower was completely unharmed.
Could it be that the World Honored is truly invincible?
Just as everyone was in extreme low spirits, suddenly...
"Click!"
"Crack! Crack!"
A series of cracking sounds were heard; they saw dense spider-web-like cracks appear rapidly on the Golden Treasure Tower.
There were so many cracks that it looked like if the wind blew, the entire Golden Treasure Tower would collapse into pieces.
"It cracked!"
"It opened, it worked!"
"It really cracked open!"
Seeing the Golden Treasure Tower cracked, the members of the Anti-Buddha Alliance were overjoyed.
In a short time, their emotions were as complex as riding a roller coaster.
At the moment the Golden Treasure Tower cracked, they saw a golden glow from the Buddha Realm drilling into it, repairing the Golden Treasure Tower at a perceivable speed.
Anyone with a sharp eye could see the damage to the Golden Treasure Tower was severe, almost to the point where a breeze would have toppled it.
However, as the golden glow surged in, the Golden Treasure Tower became more and more stable.
"Lin Yuan, it’s up to you now!"
"Don’t give this tower a chance to repair!" The Peacock Great Ming King said to Lin Yuan.
That previous strike was already the Peacock Great Ming King’s strongest, and it consumed a great deal of his energy.
As the Peacock Great Ming King was still recovering, the task of shattering the Golden Treasure Tower could only be entrusted to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan didn’t hesitate, as soon as the Peacock Great King’s words fell, Lin Yuan "zinged" and drew out the Human King Sword.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz buzz."
The blade of the Human King Sword emitted a buzzing sound as if saying it was eager.
This sword, Lin Yuan didn’t bother with any frills, just straightforwardly struck at the Golden Treasure Tower.
"Boom!"
A sword energy that seemed to pierce the heavens and the earth directly slashed at the Golden Treasure Tower.
In the next moment, the Golden Treasure Tower shattered, splintering into countless fragments, scattering everywhere.
Smashed!
The Golden Treasure Tower was truly smashed.
Everyone was ecstatic, the shattering of the Golden Treasure Tower seemed to prove that the World Honored was not invincible.
"Follow me to kill..."
However, before Lin Yuan finished speaking, yet another Golden Treasure Tower appeared out of thin air.
The vanished demon soldiers and demon generals once again marched out of the Golden Treasure Tower.
Lin Yuan: "????"
Everyone: "????"
Lin Yuan was stunned, as were the others.
They could never have imagined that not only did the demon soldiers and generals possess infinite resurrection ability.
Even the tower that manufactured demon soldiers and generals also had the ability to infinitely resurrect.
The Golden Treasure Tower reappeared, the demon soldiers and generals still existed.
All of Lin Yuan and their previous attempts were in vain.
From the Void.
"See?"
"These people are no match for the World Honored, everything they do is futile. Utterly, a bunch of clowns!" The Demon Lord said smugly.
The Buddha also looked at Wa Huang and said, "Wa Huang, you have not allied with the World Honored, aren’t you afraid that after he attains the Dao, he might not provide you any benefits?"
Wa Huang was not bothered by this, she said in a deep voice, "Do you think that even if you allied with the World Honored? After he attains the Dao, would he truly willingly provide you benefits?"
"Benefits are fought for and taken, not acquired through alliances."
"Your power has been consumed to aid him, if he’s not genuinely giving you benefits, after this, let’s see how you preach?"
Wa Huang’s words made both the Buddha and the Demon Lord ponder.
Once the World Honored attains the Dao, he certainly wouldn’t dare break his oath.
However, without breaking the oath, there’s still much room for maneuver.
He might agree to give them benefits on the surface, then secretly impede them, effectively preventing them from receiving these benefits.
Ultimately, they would be left frustrated.
Because among the people of the Buddha and the Demon Lord, there were already no usable forces.
Wa Huang’s blunt words also made the Buddha and the Demon Lord cautious of the World Honored.
This was considered sowing discord, but it was an unavoidable open strategy.
