Chapter 573 Dou Shi Buddha
Seeing the Jade Fairy appear, even the two overseers' expressions slightly changed as they leaped in front of Tian Qingyu and Lin Shen, shouting at them, "Fall back."
As Lin Shen and Tian Qingyu retreated, Lin Shen asked, "Is that Jade Fairy a Nirvana-level creature?"
"The Jade Fairy is not only a Nirvana-level creature but also a terrifyingly powerful one. There have been people in the past who acquired the Jade Fairy as a pet and found slaughtering peers as easy as picking things out of a bag. However, no one has encountered the Jade Fairy on Pet Planet since then; everyone thought they were extinct. Unexpectedly, they still exist," Tian Qingyu explained. Find adventures on empire
While Tian Qingyu was explaining, the two overseers had already summoned their Life Bases and commenced battle with the Jade Fairy.
The two Nirvana-level beings ganging up on a single Jade Fairy didn't seem to gain any advantage; the sky was ablaze with light, and shockwaves swept chaotically through the air, forcing Lin Shen and Tian Qingyu to continuously retreat.
Having retreated to a safe distance, just as they were about to watch the battle, a figure burst out from the forest below.
"That's the Dou Shi Buddha!" Tian Qingyu recognized the figure and was immediately filled with both shock and joy.
Lin Shen also saw the figure, which looked like a statue of a stone monk wearing a bamboo hat, robed in a monk's cassock, with prayer beads around his neck and holding Obsidian Jade Bowls in one hand.
But this statue was able to move, and not only move; one hand held the bowl, while the other wielded a pair of Obsidian Jade Chopsticks.
Lin Shen had come across information about the Dou Shi Buddha before, and the impression was very profound; he knew this was an extremely rare and powerful Mutated Ascension creature.
Unfortunately, the first person to discover the Dou Shi Buddha was a Nirvana-level powerhouse who accidentally killed it. Subsequently, no one else discovered another Dou Shi Buddha, and they were essentially considered extinct.
Yet today, they had not only seen the Jade Fairy but also the Dou Shi Buddha, which was an incredibly lucky encounter.
"Help me subdue it." Tian Qingyu immediately gave up on the Heavenly Machine Beast without hesitation now that the Dou Shi Buddha was within reach.
The Nirvana Being who had reportedly killed the Dou Shi Buddha by accident had actually felt threatened by the Dou Shi Buddha and had no choice but to use his full power to eliminate it; there was nothing accidental about it.
Lin Shen released the Supersource Holy Shield Dragon to meet the Dou Shi Buddha.
The Supersource Holy Shield Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a Green Crystal Shield, hurling it toward the Dou Shi Buddha in mid-air.
The Dou Shi Buddha, holding the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, tapped the chopsticks against the bowl and then in front of the Green Crystal Shield, which unexpectedly plummeted rapidly, shrinking and falling into the Obsidian Jade Bowl.
"What the hell is that?" Lin Shen was astonished, wondering how a Life Base could just disappear like that.
There were tinkling sounds from within the bowl, but the Green Crystal Shield never re-emerged.
The Dou Shi Buddha leaped into the air and flew towards the Holy Shield Dragon.
The Holy Shield Dragon, which had never been subjected to such humiliation – being abused by Nirvana-level Death Powder was one thing, but being bullied by an Ascended creature was another – became infuriated.
The Holy Shield Dragon's body swelled, blood boiled, radiance enveloped it, and with a flap of its six wings, it charged straight at the Dou Shi Buddha, intent on tearing it apart with its physical form.
Faced with the frenzied onslaught of the Holy Shield Dragon, the Dou Shi Buddha remained completely unruffled, tapping the chopsticks against the bowl once again.
The next second, Lin Shen and Tian Qingyu witnessed a scene that left them astounded.
The Holy Shield Dragon's immense body shrank rapidly in front of Dou Shi Buddha, and eventually, just like the Green Crystal Shield, it was sucked into the Obsidian Jade Bowl.
Both of them felt a chill in their hearts. Lin Shen found it unimaginable that the Holy Shield Dragon, which should be invincible among Ascension Level creatures, was so easily subdued by an Ascension Level being.
"Dou Shi Buddha is even more terrifying than the records, let's withdraw for now. Your pet was lost because of me; I will surely compensate you later," Tian Qingyu said as she pulled Lin Shen to retreat.
Before they understood the full extent of Dou Shi Buddha's abilities, it was not wise to clash with him head-on.
Moreover, there were rules on Pet Planet that prevented them from injuring Dou Shi Buddha.
Lin Shen had no choice but to retreat with Tian Qingyu, but Dou Shi Buddha flung the chopsticks in his hand, and the two chopsticks instantly transformed into two Obsidian Jade Flood Dragons, charging at Lin Shen and Tian Qingyu respectively.
Lin Shen threw out the Inheritance Fan, which was a Light Sword, to combat the Obsidian Jade Flood Dragon.
Tian Qingyu also summoned her Life Base to fight against the other Flood Dragon.
The two top-level Life Bases struggled against the pair of Flood Dragons, and for a while, it was difficult to distinguish a winner, which only deepened their astonishment.
How could an Ascended being be so powerful that, even if those chopsticks were his Life Base, there was no reason they could withstand the attacks of two Life Bases?
And if the chopsticks were his Life Base, then what was the bowl? A bowl capable of absorbing the Holy Shield Dragon just had to be a Life Base as well.
"Could it be that Dou Shi Buddha has a Double Life Base?" Lin Shen and Tian Qingyu were filled with doubt when they saw Dou Shi Buddha charging at them with the bowl in hand.
Having set aside his chopsticks, Dou Shi Buddha then took off the Buddhist beads around his neck and tossed them at Lin Shen.
Although it was forbidden to injure the creatures of Pet Planet, they couldn't just sit and wait for death. Lin Shen launched a Surfing Triple Strike at the string of Buddhist beads.
Lin Shen intended to repel the beads and had no thoughts of killing Dou Shi Buddha because he could hear a continuous clinking sound from inside the bowl, probably the Holy Shield Dragon trying to break out.
But when Lin Shen unleashed the Surfing Triple Punch, the beads in the air suddenly enlarged, and his Fist Power passed right through the middle, without affecting their descent in the slightest.
The Buddhist beads fell straight down, seemingly aiming to ensnare Lin Shen's body.
Lin Shen's body bent like a bow as he forcefully launched himself backward several dozen meters, just escaping the range covered by the bead's net.
The beads missed Lin Shen, but Dou Shi Buddha had already closed in, slapping a palm toward Lin Shen's face. In the center of his palm, a golden lotus-shaped seal was blooming with light.
Lin Shen's movement technique was fluid and his Fist Power immense, yet Dou Shi Buddha moved with steps that birthed lotuses, each move seemingly part of an unfathomable Buddhist method, ancient yet filled with endless mysteries.
Lin Shen found himself being pressured into a continuous retreat, falling into a disadvantage.
Tian Qingyu rushed to help, but she was caught by the string of beads. Her strength failed to fend off the beads; instead, she got entangled and struggled in vain to free herself.
Lin Shen sensed something was wrong. It was understandable that Dou Shi Buddha's abilities were strong, but his mind and skill techniques weren't that simple; it was almost as if someone was controlling him.
Otherwise, how could an Ascended creature perform so many exquisite moves? Even Grandmaster Level skills were only so much.
