Chapter 300 - 265: Summoning Heavenly Thunder and Rain Mage to Destroy Buddha
The battle between Rain Mage Chi Songzi and Venerable Maitreya was fierce and indeterminate. Seeing billions of beings within the Maitreya Buddha Kingdom moving like zombies, merely reciting scriptures to supply him with incense power and wishes, Chi Songzi was incensed!
As a national minister, serving the country and the people, Chi Songzi, as the Rain Mage, was in charge of the weather during Shennong’s time, ensuring the Southern Toad Continent had favorable winds and rain, resulting in peace and prosperity. But now, he saw someone had imprisoned billions of beings, each devoid of their own thoughts, all brainwashed. How could he not be furious?
Within the "Divine Firmament Torrential Rain," there was a divine skill called Nine Heavens Thunder Movement, which was immensely powerful, capable of almost destroying heaven and earth, calling down the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder in unison, twisted into one, to annihilate the enemy.
However, cultivating this divine skill was exceedingly troublesome; one had to understand the Heavenly Dao Laws. This meant that this divine skill could only be executed by masters above the Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal Second Layered Heaven Law Realm. Moreover, one had to sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao and communicate with it to be able to draw upon the Nine Layers of Divine Thunder; otherwise, even with great divine skills, invoking three to five layers was already the limit.
Now, Chi Songzi was using his true body to entangle Maitreya, preventing his escape, while his avatar practiced the ancient Gang Dou Step, communicating with the Heavenly Dao. Suddenly, a world materialized in his hands, creation from the void, and out came a horde of pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep—tens of thousands of them turned into powder in an instant, used to sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao.
Indeed, using beings with souls to sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao was optimal. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, emperors sacrificed slaves to the Heavenly Dao. The creator could create beings from the void, conjuring life, but they lacked souls, resembling puppets without any thoughts, so the effect was minimal.
However, Chi Songzi, since ancient times, had ensured favorable winds and rain in the Southern Toad Continent, accumulating great merit. Having done this significant task over many years, he had formed a deep connection with the Heavenly Dao. Now, using these soulless beings for sacrifice, he could still communicate with the Heavenly Dao! That was where his might lay.
What one kept in mind would echo back. Chi Songzi often prayed to the Heavenly Dao, blessing all beings. After years of such prayers, the Heavenly Dao naturally echoed in response.
He was the Rain Mage, but he still had to act in accordance with the Heavenly Dao—how much rain the Heavenly Dao ordered him to bring, he had to deliver exactly that much. Anything more or less would result in divine punishment. After the Middle Ancient Times, the task of the Nine Heavens enforcers to monitor heaven and earth nearly waned, falling upon the Jade Emperor instead. As the Great Heavenly Master, he governed the Three Realms; when the Jing River Dragon King randomly brought rains, the Jade Emperor had Wei Zheng behead him.
"He’s actually making a sacrifice! Kong Xuan, if you don’t take down that fan now, once Chi Songzi’s sacrifice is successful, we’ll all be in trouble!" Shiqi Buddha still didn’t believe Kong Xuan had given his all.
Nevertheless, Kong Xuan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Look at Princess Iron Fan’s Banana Leaf Fan, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the fire is fueled by the wind, making the Purifying Purple Flame ever more terrifying! I am now using the full force of my Five-Colored Divine Light just to resist it, and your Shiqi Great Array is also helping. I wish I could snatch her Banana Leaf Fan, but I must act within my capacity. If the Purifying Purple Flame burns me, not even the Buddha Ancestor could save you!"
