Chapter 554 - 548: Slaying the Medicine King
Within the sect, there are no Buddhas left to deploy.
This battle has exhausted the sect internally, leaving no extra strength.
The Buddhas who have not yet taken action, it’s fortunate enough that they haven’t turned against the sect like the Peacock Great Ming King.
However, Lady Ming King is in imminent danger and must be rescued.
Medicine King Buddha pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and made his decision.
He decided to sacrifice himself to save Lady Ming King.
As the attendant of the World Honored, Medicine King Buddha was utterly loyal to him.
This is why, during the World Honored’s retreat, Medicine King Buddha could serve Lady Ming King.
Though he was said to assist the House of Prestige, the one making the crucial decisions was actually Medicine King Buddha.
The trust of the World Honored granted him such authority.
"You four quickly go rescue Lady Ming King, I will hold off the Peacock Great Ming King!" Medicine King Buddha shouted.
The five of them combined couldn’t handle the Peacock Great Ming King.
Now, four of them leave, leaving Medicine King Buddha alone to face the Peacock Great Ming King; it is undoubtedly a death wish!
Nevertheless, Medicine King Buddha’s shout was decisive, and the other four Buddhas hesitated not a moment to transform into rainbow light heading swiftly towards Silent Sea for support.
These Buddhas weighed the situation very clearly.
If Medicine King Buddha died, it would be by the Peacock Great Ming King’s hand; at most, they’d find a way to avenge him later.
But if Lady Ming King died, each one of them would end up very unfortunate.
By then, they wouldn’t be able to account to the World Honored.
The World Honored cherished his only daughter very much.
She was the World Honored’s sole solace with his beloved woman.
After all, the World Honored had once razed the entire City of Sin for that woman.
Treasure-Born Buddha, Lushana Buddha, Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Buddha, and One-Character Golden Tripod Buddha simultaneously executed the Rainbow Transformation Technique rushing toward Silent Sea.
They left Medicine King Buddha to deal with his nemesis, the Peacock Great Ming King.
"Medicine King Buddha, you really don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth啊!"
"Trying to stop me on your own is just wishful thinking!" Peacock Great Ming King said coldly.
Medicine King Buddha considered the Peacock Great Ming King his adversary, but Peacock Great Ming King never regarded Medicine King Buddha seriously.
Peacock Great Ming King’s adversary was the World Honored.
Anyone keen on progression would see the nearest but stronger than themselves as a rival.
"Indeed, you are very formidable, Peacock Great Ming King, but if I dare to risk my life, I might just bring you down!" Medicine King Buddha slowly said.
Peacock Great Ming King realized sharply that Medicine King Buddha had begun to burn his lifeforce and blood.
Without a doubt, Medicine King Buddha intended to stake his life, unleashing his maximum combat prowess.
He wanted to win against Peacock Great Ming King once.
Even if the victory cost him his life.
"Let’s bet again!"
"It’s betting whether Manjushri Bodhisattva or Manjushri Bodhisattva would kill Lady Ming King first, or Treasure-Born Buddha and the others would arrive first." Medicine King Buddha said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing Medicine King Buddha’s words, Peacock Great Ming King icily remarked, "You have never won against me before, and this time, you surely won’t either."
"However, you won’t get to see the outcome because you’ll die before Lady Ming King!"
After Peacock Great Ming King spoke, his aura started gathering.
The Peacock Great Ming King’s expression turned sharp, and his aura became unrivaled and overwhelming.
The Five-Colored Divine Light began condensing; this time, it was not a casual sweep.
Instead, it started forming into a Five-Colored Treasure Sword.
The sword brimmed with murderous intent, its pure killing aura terrifying enough to grasp.
The Five-Colored Divine Light turned treasure sword seemed to possess the might to pierce through everything.
As Peacock Great Ming King gathered power, Medicine Buddha also began amassing energy.
With extensive lifeforce burning, Medicine King Buddha’s power was unprecedently strong.
An enormous energy ring formed around him from the energy emitted.
The ring was rich in the fragrance of medicine, with visible remnants of herbs within.
This move was newly created by Medicine King Buddha.
This move is named Medicine Light Glass Realm.
This move was just in its infancy; even Medicine King Buddha himself didn’t know its potency.
Originally, Medicine King Buddha intended to perfect it before using it.
But being pushed this far, Medicine King Buddha was left with no choice but to employ it, making a desperate last stand.
Medicine Light Glass Realm was exceedingly defensive.
However, his opponent was the Peacock Great Ming King.
Peacock Great Ming King specialized in breaking through such defenses.
Next moment, there was a change in the weather.
This was the Peacock Great Ming King’s Five-Colored Divine Light, stirring the world’s weather.
The five-colored clouds churned endlessly, with dragon-like five-colored lightning within.
Soon after, the sky started raining five-colored droplets.
"Buzz."
"Buzz, buzz, buzz."
Within the nurturing of Five-Colored Energy, the five-colored sword condensed by Peacock Great Ming King emitted continuous buzzing sounds.
Next moment, the five-colored winds blew fiercely, creating furious echoes around.
Following was a clanging of a sword, the Five-Colored Divine Light moved, striking Medicine King Buddha’s Medicine Light Glass Realm.
"Bang!"
A loud impact, like a heavy hammer smashing onto glass.
Instantly, Medicine King Buddha’s Medicine Light Glass Realm showed dense cracks.
The five-colored wind, five-colored rain, five-colored clouds, five-colored...
All visible things shaped by the Five Elements Energy began invading through the cracks appearing on the Medicine Light Glass Realm.
Medicine King Buddha burned his lifeforce, flesh, and everything combustible, forcing support for the Medicine Light Glass Realm.
He intended to hold on, knowing that enduring another minute dragged Peacock Great Ming King for another minute.
As time went by, Medicine King Buddha’s flesh began melting away.
His soul started fading, all of him was about to be consumed.
Medicine King Buddha’s entire being was burnt to energy, merging into the Medicine Light Glass Realm.
Soon, Medicine King Buddha was like a spent candle, left only with final warmth.
In his last moment of life, Medicine King Buddha slowly turned to look up at the Mother Mirror in the sky.
He only hoped that by burning everything to impede the Peacock Great Ming King, Treasure-Born Buddha, Lushana Buddha, Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Buddha, One-Character Golden Tripod Buddha could arrive in time.
But, alas, when he turned toward the Mother Mirror.
The image in the mirror was not those four Buddhas, but Lin Yuan.
While Manjushri Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva consumed all the life-saving treasures the World Honored gifted Lady Ming King and attracted her attention.
Continuously concealed in the dark, Lin Yuan fiercely struck out at this moment.
