Chapter 245 - 228: Settle Down and Take Profits When Things Improve_3
He had never expected that the Emperor of Eternal Life could possess a Primordial Magical Treasure, which surprised him greatly. This bout was indeed going to be tough.
In the Buddha Kingdom, the two thousand Medicine Forks continuously recited the "Sutra of the Medicine Buddha," increasing the power of the Medicine Buddha, matching the Emperor of Eternal Life in a draw.
The incense sticks of both contenders were still burning. Their mana nurtured the ashes to prevent them from falling, while they also divided their attention to hasten the maturation of the wood; this consumed an immense amount of True Qi. They had to multitask: one part of their mind hastened the maturation, another part guarded the incense stick, and yet another part remained vigilant against the other’s stealthy attacks on their own incense stick.
The Medicine Buddha suddenly saw a blade of grass emerging from the ground, about to topple his incense stick. His expression changed instantly, and he spat out a white light from his mouth. The white light slashed across the grass like a steel blade, severing it, and then headed towards the incense stick of the Emperor of Eternal Life.
The Emperor of Eternal Life diverted his attention to cope with it, and saw the grass on the ground growing wildly into vines, which then entangled to form a huge shield in front of the incense stick. The white light from the Medicine Buddha landed on it, only breaking a few vines and falling to the ground, after which the white light vanished like mud sinking into the sea.
The Medicine Buddha pondered, "This Emperor of Eternal Life’s technique is indeed not bad. Every blade of grass and tree can be used by him; he is much more adept than I am in this respect!"
The Emperor of Eternal Life thought to himself, "This Medicine Buddha is also remarkable, multitasking with such ease and even managing to detect my sneak attack in time! His two thousand Medicine Forks reciting scriptures together grant him terrifyingly powerful mana. This immense wood-attribute True Qi is formidable. If not for my Primordial Magical Treasure, the Eternal Life Vine, I might have lost this battle to him!"
The two competed fiercely, both pushing themselves to the limit to ripen the Nine Heavens Divine Wood. This Divine Wood was extremely difficult to mature; it took half an incense stick’s time for them to mature just thirty feet of it, and as they progressed, it became increasingly difficult.
"Thirty feet of Nine Heavens Divine Wood already contains the efficacy of a hundred thousand years. How terrifying must their mana be for these two to mature a hundred thousand years’ worth in half an incense stick’s time? Are they not at least on par with the creator?"
