718: Chapter 256: Siege of Primordial Phoenix_4 718: Chapter 256: Siege of Primordial Phoenix_4 Thinking of this, several people were moved.
When the six powerful beings made their move together, Primordial Phoenix immediately sensed something was off.
These people were indeed Sub-Paramount-level, but weren’t they unreasonably strong?
In her mind, the Sub-Paramount should be like Tianming, at most only slightly stronger than him.
Such Sub-Paramounts, even if there were ten of them, how would it matter?
She could still defeat them.
But these individuals before her claimed to have Sub-Paramount battle strength, yet the gap between her and them wasn’t insurmountable.
Compared to a being like Tianming, they were much stronger.
Not to mention six, even three of them could slightly suppress her.
Primordial Phoenix felt that these people were not weaker than the Ancestral Dragon during its Sub-Paramount phase.
That is to say, there were now six figures comparable to the Ancestral Dragon at the Sub-Paramount Level attacking her.
Six dragons battling one phoenix—who could withstand that?
Even if Primordial Phoenix was powerful, she couldn’t resist their relentless pursuit.
Before long, Primordial Phoenix was trembling all over, screaming internally that she couldn’t take it.
No matter how tightly she fortified her defenses, trying to break them one by one, it was no use.
Six powerful beings, one coming forward, and before she could react, the next one charged up.
In the end, Primordial Phoenix was left with no chance to breathe.
She screamed, shook violently, and repelled all six of them.
Afterwards, Primordial Phoenix transformed into her true phoenix form and turned to flee.
“Think you can escape?”
Sun Wukong coldly spoke, ready to chase after her.
However, Zhenyuan grabbed him.
“Forget it, if we can’t kill her, someone else is coming.”
Upon hearing Zhenyuan’s words, Sun Wukong was stirred, his gaze turning in one direction.
The figure of the Primordial Qilin flashed by and vanished from this place.
The great battle at Mount Ling attracted the Primordial Qilin.
If Sun Wukong pursued, there was a chance the Primordial Qilin would join forces with Primordial Phoenix, and if they ambushed him, it’d be bad.
Two Supreme Level powerful beings united against him—with Sun Wukong’s current strength, even with the Primordial Demonic Qi, it might be hard to keep him safe.
Moreover, him chasing alone would serve no purpose.
“Pity, if we could have killed Primordial Phoenix, the Three Realms would have one less trouble.”
Sun Wukong lamented.
He glanced at Tathagata Buddha, surprised, and asked, “Did you take your medicine today?
You’re so fierce.
Primordial Phoenix almost couldn’t handle you.”
Tathagata Buddha was speechless.
Sun Wukong’s words always gave off a sense of not being entirely serious, as if riding a heavenly steed above the clouds.
Still, he said, “It infuriates this old monk.
I am obviously a benefactor to the peacocks and the Great Roc.
If it weren’t for me, with their sins, they would have been killed who knows how many times already.
They are alive today because I protected them.
And yet, Primordial Phoenix unexpectedly blames me.”
Sun Wukong cast him a glance, calmly saying, “You can’t blame Primordial Phoenix.
Doesn’t your Buddhist Sect preach about karma?
This is karma.”
“I planted good seeds; why did I reap indeed evil fruit?” Tathagata Buddha said indignantly.
Sun Wukong pursed his lips; he actually thought he had planted good seeds, which was simply laughable.
Jin Chan couldn’t help but mock, “Old monk, you call that planting good seeds?
These two demons have eaten many people.
Lion Camel Ridge on earth is a purgatory.
Before this, Peacock had also devoured a large number of living beings.
If you really planted good seeds, you should have killed them, not protected them.”
“But haven’t they also stopped going out to eat people?”
Tathagata Buddha argued back, unconvinced.
“Haha, killing hundreds of millions of living beings, and just not going out to eat people rectifies this?
You, Mount Ling, have taken on this karma; hence, do you understand why high-level masters can never emerge from Mount Ling?”
Sun Wukong asked with a smile.
“You established Buddhism in the Posa World, founded the lineage of Mount Ling, ascended to Buddha, and your strength ranks just below the Jade Emperor.
With your talent, you should have become a Supreme Level strong being long ago.
Unfortunately, you are too stubborn.
You preach that all is void but failed to realize that the belief in all being void is the greatest attachment.
Coupled with hundreds of millions of lives, the karma between you and the living beings of the universe denies you the chance to reach the Supreme Level.
Even if you undergo closed-door cultivation for a hundred thousand years, you still won’t make it.”
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Tathagata Buddha shuddered.
Was he wrong?
“What should I do?
Please enlighten me, Great Saint.”
Tathagata Buddha’s heart was somewhat chaotic, but it was as if a small sapling was about to sprout from the old Buddha’s mind.
However, the sapling wanted to break through, yet didn’t have enough strength, still needing some power.
“Be a good Buddha.”
Sun Wukong said calmly.
A simple phrase, yet like the sound of a bell at dawn or dusk, suddenly enabled the small sapling to break through the soil.
Tathagata Buddha’s body shone with even more intense Buddha’s Light than before.
He was breaking through; it would require a little more time to fully step into the Supreme Realm.
“Thank you for your guidance, Great Saint.”
Tathagata Buddha clasped his hands together, and after speaking, he turned and left.
At that moment, Tathagata hurried to comprehend those things.
Sun Wukong was somewhat speechless, watching the back of the departing Tathagata Buddha.
“He’s about to become a Supreme.”
Zhenyuan looked at Sun Wukong’s eyes, which contained a hint of brightness.
“Brother, you should also give me some guidance.
I’ve been stuck in this realm for many years.”
Sun Wukong was speechless, as if he really could guide a Sub-Paramount Level strong being.
He had just blurted out a few words, never expecting that Tathagata Buddha, whose mind was peculiar, would actually believe him.
Moreover, because of his guidance, Tathagata Buddha had broken through.
What was all this?
Zhenyuan actually wanted him to give guidance as if he could really guide them.
But seeing Zhenyuan’s expectant look…
