Unfortunately, the cruel reality shattered Tathagata's fantasies. Gu Zheng once again used a targeted 'Five Elements Transformation' to neutralize his peerless attack.
However, after knowing that Tang Mo couldn't be affected by the Path of True Metal, Tathagata used the Path of True Metal on defense. Gu Zheng's mastery of the 'Path of True Gold' was also at the intermediate level. With Tathagata defending with all his might, he was unable to make Tathagata's Demonfall Pestle suddenly become heavier and achieve his goal of hitting Tathagata.
After waving the pestle for the third time, Tathagata's eyes suddenly widened. "I know why your Five Elements Transformation is so strange. It's because the origin of the five elements in your body is different from ours. The origin of the five elements in your body must be the legendary Five Elements Immortal Sphere! Right, it must be like this. Only the extremely rare Five Element Immortal Ball of legend is capable of operating at such a swift speed and allowing you to make targeted transformations of the five elements in a hurry! "
Tathagata was going crazy. Gu Zheng's luck was abnormal, but his constitution was also abnormal. Why didn't this kind of person suffer the wrath of the heavens?
"Not bad, you actually guessed it! Hehe, you don't know, do you? Not only do I have the Five Elements Immortal Sphere, but the immortal power ball in my body is also the Yin Yang Immortal Sphere! "Gu Zheng smirked at Tathagata.
Tathagata was driven mad. Although he had never heard of the Yin Yang Immortal Sphere before, since it came from Gu Zheng's mouth, and it even had the words' Yin Yang 'in it, he was afraid that it was some kind of abnormal thing.
"Use whatever else you have. Let me see how much you deserve to die!"
Tathagata had become irritable. This had to do with him activating the first level of the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle. At this time, he was once again in a frenzied state. Although it wasn't like before, where his violent attacks could cause space to collapse, it was still powerful enough to make people cautious.
In the face of Tathagata's violent attacks, Gu Zheng calmly looked for his flaws. He warned himself that he couldn't be impatient when facing an enemy like Tathagata. If he left behind any big flaws because of his impatience, the consequences could be very serious.
Afterimages danced wildly. After a series of metal collisions, Gu Zheng was hit by Tathagata, and Tathagata was also hit by Gu Zheng. But overall, the number of times Gu Zheng hit Tathagata was more than the number of times Tathagata hit him.
As far as Gu Zheng was concerned, a small opportunity had arrived. Previously, when he had clashed with Tathagata, he had not allowed Tang Mo to display its sharpness. This was because he did not know enough about Tathagata's close combat abilities. He was worried that displaying it too early would alert the enemy. Now, Tathagata had already gone further and further on the path of madness. There were more loopholes in the battle. Gu Zheng decided not to suppress Tang Mo anymore. He would first cut off Tathagata's Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle and remove the continuous damage of the "demonic sound" on the Five-Element Shield.
Clang!
The sound of metal colliding rang out again. Tang Mo had once again slashed at the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle.
Previously, Gu Zheng had suppressed Tang Mo's sharpness. Tang Mo could only leave a small mark on the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle. But this time, Tang Mo had left a deep scar on the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle!
In the past, the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle had smashed countless immortal weapons. Among them, there was no lack of famous immortal weapons that had survived the first chaos tribulation. After surviving the first chaos tribulation, the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle had received the blessing of heaven and earth. Its strength had increased again, so much so that all the Quasi-Saints felt that no weapon other than a Saint Immortal could cause damage to the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle in Tathagata's hands. However, the legend of the past had been broken. No matter how strong the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle was, Gu Zheng was confident that he could completely destroy it with five slashes from Tang Mo!
The Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle that he relied on had actually been damaged by Gu Zheng's Tang Mo. Shocked, Tathagata immediately came to his senses. Unfortunately, since Gu Zheng had decided to expose Tang Mo's sharpness, everything had naturally been carefully calculated. It wouldn't be easy for Tathagata to get rid of Tang Mo's entanglement.
Clang, clang!
Afterimages danced wildly. Two more sounds of metal colliding rang out. The Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle that Tang Mo had left a shocking scar on it.
Black blade light flashed again, and Tang Mo slashed at Tathagata again.
Tathagata's best response to such a tricky angle was to use the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle to block it. If he didn't do so, he would definitely be hit by Tang Mo.
Tathagata didn't dare to use the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle to meet Tang Mo head-on. Faced with such a situation, he could only dodge. The sharp Tang Mo slashed open the surface of his defense, leaving a long gash on his buddhist robes.
Tathagata waved his hand, and a loud sound was heard. He finally hit Gu Zheng's Five Elements Shield again, sending Gu Zheng flying.
The distance between the two of them widened again. This should have been a good opportunity for Tathagata to launch a long-range attack, but Tathagata's brows were almost knitted together.
Gu Zheng had always been broadening Tathagata's horizons, and he had always been more difficult to deal with in Tathagata's heart. At this moment, Tathagata no longer believed that a long-range attack could defeat Gu Zheng. He was more worried that if the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle was hit by Gu Zheng again, although it wouldn't be completely destroyed, the second divine ability would be unable to be activated due to the extent of damage.
Previously, when he used the first divine ability of the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle, he had already entered a crazy state. Tathagata was naturally even more afraid of the second divine ability of the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle. Once he used the second divine ability, even if he could kill Gu Zheng, he would be greatly affected.
"You're very hesitant. What are you hesitating about?"
Compared to Tathagata's hesitation, Gu Zheng's mood was much more relaxed.
After Tang Mo caused damage to the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle for the third time, the Demonic Sound ability of the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle completely disappeared. Without the continuous attack of the Demonic Sound, the Five Elements Shield was enough to withstand two attacks from Tathagata's Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle. This made Gu Zheng much safer, and his mood was naturally more relaxed.
Tathagata gritted his teeth and said, "We're both on guard against each other. I used my Divine Will that can use the Immortal Domain to exchange for your Five-colored Divine Light."
"That's right, we're both on guard against each other! But you didn't lose out either. In any case, you think the Immortal Domain is useless! "Gu Zheng laughed.
"I really didn't expect that killing you would make me pay such a huge price!"
Tathagata stared at Gu Zheng. To him, it was time to make another exchange. He hoped that this time, he could exchange for Gu Zheng's life.
"Come!"
Tathagata roared. His tattered Buddhist robes fluttered in the wind, and his originally benevolent face became very ferocious. The Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle in his hand flashed with golden light, and a cloud of white mist burst out from it. In the air, it first transformed into his appearance, and then into a breathtakingly beautiful woman!
Back then, when Tathagata was comprehending the Dao under the Bodhi Tree, his inner demon had turned into a Heavenly Demoness to tempt him. Tathagata didn't manage to get rid of his inner demon, and instead forged the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle to seal his inner demon within.
After the first Chaos Tribulation, the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle, which had been blessed by the heavens and earth, gained two more divine abilities.
The first divine ability, Demonic Sound, was the sound that Tathagata had heard in his inner demon realm.
The second divine ability, Inner Demon, was to summon the inner demon sealed within the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle.
Both divine abilities were very powerful, but Tathagata couldn't use them casually. Once the Demonic Sound was used, it would cause him to fall into a state of madness, and he would have to spend time purifying his six senses. The Inner Demon couldn't be used casually either. Once this divine ability was used, the inner demon might appear in his heart again. This was the result that he didn't want to see.
"Ah …"
Tathagata roared towards the sky, his expression painful and ferocious. As his roar continued, the strength of the inner demon, which was originally in the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian, soared from the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian to the peak of the Sage-to-be!
In a short time, Tathagata's inner demon and Tathagata's strength synchronized. The enemy that Gu Zheng was about to face could be said to have changed from one Tathagata to two Tathagatas!
Looking at the wide-eyed Gu Zheng, Tathagata sneered, "How are you going to break it? Use your Immortal Realm?"
Tathagata and the inner demon flew towards Gu Zheng at the same time. The light in the entire space dimmed because of the inner demon's approach.
"Tathagata, I'm grateful to you!"
Gu Zheng was very excited. The inner demon was originally an illusion, but the inner demon released by Tathagata was a spiritual body formed by pure evil energy. It was Tang Mo's food.
Ever since he killed the Sage-to-be Blood Fury Venerable on the Star Ruins Mountain, Tang Mo hadn't been greatly nourished. Its Chaos Restoration Rate was still at 84%. Gu Zheng was looking forward to seeing how much its restoration rate would increase after devouring Tathagata's inner demon.
Tang Mo, who had turned into a stream of light, flew out of Gu Zheng's hand. The originally aggressive inner demon suddenly became like a mouse that had seen a cat. However, Tathagata's inner demon had the strength of a Sage-to-be after all. As a mouse, it was already a large mouse. When it felt a fatal crisis, a large mouse also had the courage to challenge a cat.
Whoosh!
The inner demon let out a sharp whistle. The damage caused by this sound wave attack on Gu Zheng's Five Elements Shield was no less than the previous' demonic sound '. However, the powerful sound wave attack didn't slow down Tang Mo at all. Like a stream of light, it got closer to the inner demon.
Roar!
The inner demon opened its mouth and roared. A large amount of black fog came out of its mouth and turned into a snake-like thing that rolled toward Tang Mo.
However, this snake-like black fog didn't seem to be approaching Tang Mo but a black hole. It was absorbed by Tang Mo irresistibly.
"Damn it!"
Tathagata was shocked. He didn't expect Tang Mo, who was in Gu Zheng's hands, to have such an unimaginable ability to restrain the inner demon. This made him flick his sleeves and release a violent hurricane, wanting to quickly sweep Tang Mo away.
Gu Zheng frowned and used the Immortal Realm Magic on Tathagata! Tang Mo was unusually strong against the inner demon because it could restrain it. The inner demon was its food. However, in front of Tathagata, it was only an immortal weapon. Tathagata had the ability to stop it from devouring the inner demon.
"Damn it!"
Tathagata had always wanted Gu Zheng to use the Immortal Realm because once Gu Zheng used it, he had a way to forcefully break it and make Gu Zheng suffer from the backlash. However, Gu Zheng had never used the Immortal Realm. In the end, it appeared when he least wanted to see it.
The white hair between Tathagata's eyebrows lit up, and a mirror embedded with seven treasures shot out.
"Mirror of Emptiness!"
Gu Zheng's heart trembled. This mirror was a Buddhist weapon that was as famous as the Thoughtless Demon Subduing Pestle in Tathagata's hands. It had also shone during the first Chaos Tribulation. However, the Mirror of Emptiness wasn't a hidden immortal weapon that specialized in breaking through space. Why did Tathagata take it out now?
Before Gu Zheng could figure out Tathagata's intentions, the Mirror of Emptiness flashed with white light. As the master of the Immortal Realm, Gu Zheng immediately realized that his Immortal Realm couldn't be taken back.
"Break!"
Tathagata roared. White light appeared on the surface of the Mirror of Emptiness, and the entire space of the Immortal Realm was instantly illuminated. He had activated the first superpower of the Mirror of Emptiness after receiving the blessings of heaven and earth.
Although the white light wasn't harmful to people, it was a special kind of Space Dao. Gu Zheng's Immortal Realm was weak. Under this special Space Dao, not only did it have nowhere to hide, it was simply too weak to withstand a single blow.
The Immortal Realm shattered before Gu Zheng's eyes. His Immortal Realm, which hadn't been forcefully broken in a long time, was broken by Tathagata's Mirror of Emptiness just like that.
"Wah!"
With the Immortal Realm broken, Gu Zheng couldn't avoid the backlash. The blood in his body churned, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Tathagata took the opportunity to launch an attack. The beam of light shot out from the Mirror of Emptiness directly hit Gu Zheng's Five Elements Shield.
Gu Zheng didn't dodge. Dodging with his blood churning was futile. If he didn't quickly calm his blood churning, even the Five Elements Immortal Sphere's operation would be affected.
The Mirror of Emptiness continued to shine on Gu Zheng in the air. Tathagata flew to Gu Zheng's side, and raised his palm towards Gu Zheng.
The air rippled with Tathagata's movement. Tathagata used the Path of Penetration that he had used to destroy Venerable Blood Shadow, which ignored the defense of the human body.
This was the first time Tathagata had used the Path of Penetration in his battle with Gu Zheng. He also understood the principle of taking advantage of the opportunity to maximize the damage. He didn't use the Path of Penetration before because he understood that even if the power of the Dao was used, and his immortal power could ignore Gu Zheng's Five Elements Shield, it still wouldn't cause much damage to Gu Zheng! After all, Gu Zheng could still use damage absorption. However, at this time, Gu Zheng's blood was churning, and his damage absorption was not as effective. This was the perfect opportunity!
A cold smile appeared on Gu Zheng's face. His Five Elements Immortal Sphere was indeed affected by his blood churning and couldn't operate smoothly. This caused his damage absorption to not be as effective. However, damage absorption required the Five Elements Immortal Sphere, but damage release did not!
The moment Tathagata's immortal power passed through the Five Elements Shield, Gu Zheng took the initiative to remove the protection of the Five Elements Shield, and a dazzling light rushed out of his body.
Up until now, Gu Zheng hadn't used the energy he had absorbed from Tathagata's damage. This time, the beam of light formed by the damage release could be said to be extremely powerful.
Caught off guard, Tathagata was the first to bear the brunt of the beam of light, and his entire body was sent flying by it.
Bam!
Tathagata's tattered Buddhist robe exploded. This top-grade Buddhist artifact that had blocked many of Gu Zheng's attacks for him was finally completely destroyed at this moment.
Pfft!
Tathagata spat out blood. Even though the beam of light was extremely powerful, he was only injured, and not killed.
"Wah!"
Gu Zheng didn't feel good either, and he spat out blood again.
Releasing the converted energy didn't require the Five Elements Immortal Sphere, but using such a mystique in a special period of time when his blood was churning would inevitably cause his body to be injured again! However, this wasn't too serious of an injury. Gu Zheng's injuries weren't as serious as Tathagata's. Moreover, the temporary churning of his blood had already calmed down. Through damage absorption, he was no longer afraid of the extreme Yang energy shot out from Tathagata's Mirror of Emptiness.
"No matter what, you have to die!"
Tathagata roared at Gu Zheng. His inner demon had already been absorbed by Tang Mo, and he himself had been injured by Gu Zheng. He couldn't wait to skin Gu Zheng alive, so he used the original mystique of the Mirror of Emptiness.
The Mirror of Emptiness was a Buddhist treasure that could be considered a cornerstone treasure of the Buddhist sects. The divine ability it possessed allowed Tathagata to use the providence of the Buddhist sects to activate the extremely powerful Yang divine ability, the 'Buddha's Hand'! At this time, the Buddha's Hand was also known as a Pseudo Immortal Mystique. Although it was a Pseudo Immortal Mystique, its power wasn't weak at all. The Pseudo Immortal Mystique was only used to distinguish it from a true Immortal Mystique.
A light image appeared on the Mirror of Emptiness. It was the scene of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Greeting. Tathagata's aura rose sharply as he raised his resplendent right hand and slapped it towards Gu Zheng.
In Gu Zheng's eyes, Tathagata's right hand had become as huge as the Five Finger Mountain, carrying with it an aura of destruction that no one could escape from.
Gu Zheng didn't panic. Tathagata's Buddha's Hand wasn't a secret. In order to deal with it, he had kept the Five Elements Immortal Lotus.
"Go!"
Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the dazzling Five Elements Immortal Lotus flew towards the huge Buddha's Hand.
"No!"
Tathagata exclaimed. He really didn't expect that Gu Zheng would have another Immortal Mystique after the Five-colored Divine Light, Five Elements Shield, and Damage Absorption.
Tathagata didn't hesitate to use the providence of Buddhism to kill Gu Zheng with the Buddha's Hand. However, the appearance of the Five Elements Immortal Lotus made Tathagata realize that his wish was going to fail again. After all, the Five Elements Immortal Lotus was a true Immortal Mystique. Even if the Buddha's Hand had the ability to destroy it, it wouldn't be able to kill Gu Zheng.
"Bang!"
With an earth-shattering sound, the Buddha's Hand collided with the Five Elements Immortal Lotus.
The Five Elements Immortal Lotus was destroyed by the Buddha's Hand. At the moment when the two collided, Gu Zheng escaped from the Buddha's Hand's lock-on range.
The light on Tathagata's right hand disappeared, and his palm hung down powerlessly. The scene of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Greeting in the Mirror of Emptiness was destroyed.
"What other tricks do you have? Just use them!"
Gu Zheng flew towards Tathagata. Although Tathagata's eyes were filled with unwillingness, his eyes were still full of fighting spirit.
"Do you really think I don't have any tricks up my sleeve?"
Tathagata laughed. He really didn't expect to be forced into such a situation by Gu Zheng.
However, even if things were beyond his imagination, Tathagata still felt that he still had a chance to kill Gu Zheng. This was because his Mirror of Emptiness hadn't been used after receiving the blessings of Heaven and Earth.
