Chapter 501: Duel with the Peacock Great Bright King!
“You… you actually dare to commit such a defiant act!”
The person who was targeted turned pale; he was just an ordinary cultivator and stood no chance against the combined assault of two sages!
Upon seeing this scene, the surrounding crowd showed panic on their faces. In front of the Great Thunder Sound Temple, they felt incredibly small and could only submit!
“The grudge has run deep; let’s make our move!”
Zhou Tong and the Snow Woman exchanged glances and simultaneously unleashed their spiritual power to the utmost.
“Boom!!”
The thunder of the Nine Heavens roared, causing the sky to crack. Even though they were separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, it felt like they were right next to each other. The spiritual power of the two of them turned the world upside down, instantly tearing apart the cage!
With a loud bang!
The two sages from the Great Thunder Sound Temple suddenly found their attacks blocked, frozen in place.
“How is that possible? Who is sabotaging us from the shadows? Come out quickly!”
What answered them was the thunder of the Ninth Heaven!
Vast lightning surged forth, crystallizing into long spears in mid-air, aimed at the two of them.
“At this moment, the time of extinction!!!”
Divine radiance flowed, and the immense might struck down upon the two sages without any embellishments.
“Poof… Ah!!!”
Their defenses crumbled like paper, and they were sent flying, blood emerging from their seven orifices as they slammed heavily into the Great Thunder Sound Temple.
“Run!”
The crowd scattered in all directions, fleeing without looking back, each person’s eyes filled with hatred and revulsion.
“Hurry, go call the Buddha Master out of seclusion!”
One person struggled to get up, his face pale and his entire body trembling uncontrollably.
Unexpectedly, there were actually people daring enough to target the Great Thunder Sound Temple, and their opening move was a lethal strike that shook the foundations of their faith.
If these people were allowed to escape, their reputation would be utterly ruined.
“The Buddha Master is in seclusion!”
“What about the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas?”
“The Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp is also not in the temple!”
Hearing this response, the powerful individuals from the Great Thunder Sound Temple showed confusion. Could it be that today they would suffer humiliation?
“Chirp!!”
At that moment, a sudden light chirp echoed across the sky, accompanied by a rainbow-colored glow, revealing a towering figure that stretched thousands of feet long.
“What a beast!”
Zhou Tong’s eyes widened; it was actually a brilliantly colored peacock, radiating splendid Buddhist light while exuding the aura of a ferocious beast, incredibly powerful.
“It’s the Peacock Great Bright King; we are saved!”
The two sages were overjoyed; with this divine beast suppressing them, no one could stir up trouble.
“Peacock Great Bright King?”
Upon hearing this title, Zhou Tong’s heart trembled slightly.
Suddenly, he recalled a rumor that the Snow Woman had mentioned to him.
It was said that the Phoenix was the leader of all flying birds, giving birth to the Dapeng and the peacock, which enjoyed devouring humans and had once swallowed the Buddha Master whole.
Then the Buddha Master cultivated a golden body within its belly and broke free through its spine to emerge, hence the peacock was revered as the Buddha Mother, known as the Peacock Great Bright King Bodhisattva? Was it referring to this one?
“This beast is going to eat humans!”
The Snow Woman also frowned, speaking in a low voice. It was said that this creature could fly for a thousand miles, generating a whirlwind, and everything in its path would be drawn into its belly; now it seemed indeed true!
The peacock soared through the sky, racing towards the fleeing people, already showing signs of hunger.
“Sealing Divine Technique, collapse!!”
At that moment, Zhou Tong made his move, crafting a talisman in the air that struck the peacock.
“Spirit Seal 90, Black Coffin!”
A massive coffin descended from the sky, crushing the cosmos and staggering the peacock.
However, the adversary was no ordinary foe; its might surpassed that of a typical advanced sage, and with a flap of its wings, it shattered Zhou Tong’s offensive.
Not only that, its mouth glimmered with mysterious light, which was the peacock’s innate divine ability, specifically used to burn the spirit, leaving the two feeling strained.
“No way, this beast is too strong! It’s impossible to suppress it with just spiritual power from this distance; if this continues, those people will be devoured!”
Zhou Tong pressed his hand to his forehead; such sustained high-intensity output was wearing even on his spiritual power.
“I have a way!”
The Snow Woman was the first to withdraw her spiritual power, pulling out a scroll and handing it to Zhou Tong.
“With your remaining strength, you should still be able to activate this.”
“What is this?”
Zhou Tong sensed an ancient aura from it; it should be an ancient technique, similar to today’s talismans but with a different function.
“This is the Beast Trapping Scroll; it works on both sides. Once activated, it’s as if both parties are placed in a beast arena, only able to attack each other while unable to interfere with others!”
“Good stuff!”
Zhou Tong’s eyes lit up; he remembered that Xuan Ge had used this technique on him before, which caused him to trap himself.
However, Xuan Ge’s technique was much too naive compared to this. He could foresee that once this scroll was activated, even at a separation of hundreds of thousands of miles, that peacock would be forced to submit.
“Are there any more of these?”
“Of course, do you need extras?”
The Snow Woman waved her hand and produced a few more scrolls.
“Hand them over!”
Zhou Tong accepted them without reservation, directly storing them.
“You!!!”
“Don’t digress; this is a crucial moment!”
As soon as the words fell, the Beast Trapping Scroll was ignited, transforming into countless starry lights that struck the peacock through Zhou Tong’s spiritual power.
“Chirp!!”
The peacock let out another cry of agony, its body being forcibly halted, and reluctantly shifted its gaze away, allowing the others to escape with their lives!
“What are you doing, Peacock Great Bright King?! Why aren’t you eating them? If we let them escape, how are we going to report this to the Buddha Master!”
The two sages turned pale; now it was completely ruined. The reputation of the Buddhist Sect was in jeopardy, and they couldn’t escape punishment!
However, the peacock completely ignored them, gazing into the distance before flapping its wings and tearing through the void, flying toward Zhou Tong.
“What a powerful beast; it’s also proficient in spatial power, much stronger than that Dapeng I killed earlier!”
Zhou Tong also withdrew his spiritual power, closing his eyes to rest and recover.
“By the looks of it, in half an hour that beast will reach you; you should be fine, right?”
The Snow Woman showed no signs of worry on her face, even carrying a smile.
“Give up; my life is still long; I won’t fulfill your wishes!”
Time ticked by, and as the Snow Woman watched Zhou Tong, an unusual light flickered on her face.
Under her gaze, Zhou Tong’s exhaustion was rapidly recovering, surpassing all logical limits.
“This is the Void Self Realm? It can actually control the flow of time for oneself!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly looked up, sensing a powerful aura approaching.
“Be careful; the other party has crossed the Dark Abyss!”
In an instant, the Central Continent trembled, and everyone saw a peacock crossing the sky, their hearts pounding.
“Be careful; that thing eats people!!” someone exclaimed.
Wait a minute, if it eats people, then why isn’t it attacking now?
“Maybe it’s full!”
“Boom!!!”
Suddenly, an extremely powerful aura descended from the sky, and the crowd saw a fuzzy figure suddenly appear, charging straight at the peacock.
“Omniverse Illusion Seal! Three seals overlapping!”
Zhou Tong launched a surprise attack, as if he had jumped out from the void, catching the peacock off guard!
