Chapter 603: Drawing the Bow to Shoot the Great Eagle

Zhu Bajie's grand formation naturally couldn't trap the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle, but how did Tang Luo catch up?

The Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle's gaze was like lightning, swiftly scanning its surroundings, when suddenly it discovered that the sky had, at some unknown time, been shrouded in a layer of blood color.

Not just the sky — the earth beneath its feet, the mountain ranges, even the surrounding air, were all enveloped in a faint layer of blood color.

No, it wasn't the sky, it wasn't the earth.

Rather, its vision had been covered by an extremely, extremely faint layer of blood color; the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle lowered its head to look at its own hands.

It should be... his entire body was enveloped in this blood color!

"What did you do?" The Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle looked at Tang Luo and asked.

"Welcome to this poor monk's Buddha Realm." Tang Luo spread his arms, the Brocade Kasaya on his body fluttering without wind, the blood color slowly surging, identical to the blood color on the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle.

"Buddha Realm?"

The Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle's slightly crooked beak became even more crooked; what the hell?

Buddha Realm? A demon monk still plays Buddha Realm?

Buddha Realm is one thing, but it's actually all blood-colored — Tang Xuanzang, doesn't your heart hurt when you say this?

"A Buddha Realm from which only one side's death allows you to 'walk out'." Tang Luo raised his hand, Xuan Bian appeared in his grasp, forming a sharp sword with serrations on one side and golden patterns on its black blade.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle didn't speak; this point didn't need Tang Luo to explain specially, it could understand as well.

Why did the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle appear so confident facing Tang Luo? Besides strength, speed was also an important reason.

With speed as a guarantee, if it couldn't win, at least it could run.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle was born standing on undefeated ground, so naturally it was full of confidence.

But unexpectedly, it was tightly pursued by this demon monk, unable to escape — clearly this guy used to be a disgraceful thing that couldn't even fly!

Had he known earlier, he wouldn't have sold out the White Elephant, and would have chosen to flee.

Things change, people change; one wrong step, every step wrong — only a battle to the death remains!

The "Buddha Realm" in Tang Luo's mouth was actually a special "link," linking him and the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle together, a special divine ability manifested through the Brocade Kasaya.

Named "Life-and-Death Buddha Realm," using the Brocade Kasaya's power to stain the target, keeping the target and Tang Luo at a specific distance — maintained between ten meters and one kilometer.

Besides Tang Luo actively severing it, only after one side dies can it be lifted.

This was a divine ability Tang Luo tinkered out in the later stages of his journey west.

At that time, Tang Luo's Proud Sword took an unorthodox path — that's the more flattering way to put it.

To put it bluntly, unpleasantly, just as the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle "said," Tang Luo was a disgraceful thing that couldn't even fly.

Despite this, Tang Luo had a righteous explanation: "Short distance I jump a few times and I'm there, long distance I ride Little White Dragon and it's done, why should I know how to fly?"

Equivalent to "I have a driver, why should I learn to drive?"

But talk is talk; it still couldn't change some awkward situations from occurring: when some demons realized that bald head was the legendary scripture-fetcher, they immediately spared no cost to lifespan, cultivation, and other severe losses, using all sorts of means, doing their utmost to flee.

At that time, Tang Luo could only "sigh at the ocean."

As a person of very strong initiative, facing this kind of situation he naturally couldn't just let it be.

Thus came the "Life-and-Death Buddha Realm."

Under the blood-colored "Buddha Realm," you die or I live — no cowards who run away!

In the Life-and-Death Buddha Realm, escaping to the ends of the earth has no effect whatsoever.

Unless one can instantly flee to some special place like a blessed land or cave heaven (the Mountains and Seas Realm).

And in the current situation, I'm afraid one would have to flee from one world to another to shake off and escape the Life-and-Death Buddha Realm.

The Life-and-Death Buddha Realm has a certain difficulty to deploy, the consumption isn't small, and it also requires the Brocade Kasaya.

Without the Brocade Kasaya it cannot be deployed.

This point differs from the Xuanjin Indestructible Body; the Xuanjin Indestructible Body is a divine ability that can be deployed in coordination with the Glazed Pure Garment.

Without the Glazed Pure Garment, Tang Luo can still deploy it just the same.

The existence of the Glazed Pure Garment is icing on the cake for the Xuanjin Indestructible Body, not a "must-have item."

The Brocade Kasaya, however, is the foundation for deploying the Life-and-Death Buddha Realm.

Without it, Tang Luo cannot deploy this move.

Additionally, the "Life-and-Death Buddha Realm" can only contain two people, only one target, and cannot be deployed against multiple enemies.

Outsiders wanting to intervene won't encounter any special interference, won't be stopped.

This is a deathmatch arena for two, also welcoming a third party, even more parties, to join the stage at any time.

"Lord of the Buddha Realm" Tang Luo welcomes all comers.

In the current Life-and-Death Buddha Realm, only the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle and Tang Luo exist.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle has already shed its human form, completely transforming into an eagle with black-gold feathered wings.

However, the form it displayed wasn't huge; standing, it was only about one meter tall, its wingspan merely several meters.

This isn't the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle's true original form, but the body state it feels most suitable for dealing with Tang Luo.

Black-gold wings instantly folded, then spread.

Golden flowing light coiling around the black appeared only for an instant at the moment the wings spread, then vanished.

A large quantity of feathers were shot out by the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle, stabbing toward Tang Luo — not attacking from Tang Luo's front, but switching to a direction, descending from the sky like a violent rain assault.

The Xuan Bian sword in Tang Luo's hand pointed its blade upward, transforming into the Xuan Bian Umbrella.

The canopy opened; black-gold and firelight erupted above his head, a large quantity of feathers landing on the Xuan Bian Umbrella's canopy.

At the moment of collision, the power of shattering, tearing, and colliding fully erupted!

The Xuan Bian Umbrella's canopy trembled continuously, as if the next second it would be completely destroyed by the terrifying feather-wing violent rain.

Tang Luo held up the Xuan Bian Umbrella, his expression calm; the right hand gripping the handle suddenly turned.

The Xuan Bian Umbrella instantly spun.

Power turned into a raging wind, centered on Tang Luo, directly forming a tornado.

The remaining feathers hadn't even landed on the umbrella surface before being swept away by the gale, not only that, but they were blown back to their owner—the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird.

With wings spread, one fold and one unfold, a blurred afterimage shot toward Tang Luo.

Facing the feathers sent back by Tang Luo, the afterimage flickered in and out, easily dodging all the feathers.

A golden claw could be seen tearing through the long sky, aiming to rip apart everything before it, targeting Tang Luo's head.

Tang Luo closed the umbrella into a sword, facing the golden claw, and thrust forward with one sword.

The Great Hand Seal had already temporarily disabled one of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird's claws; now let's disable the other one as well.

At the very moment they were about to collide, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird's blurred afterimage suddenly split into five pieces, shattered and flew outward in all directions, splitting into numerous entities attacking Tang Luo from all sides.

Claw that tears all things!

"Steel Wings" capable of impacting and cleaving mountain ranges!

And sharp beak exposed, capable of pecking a hole through the heavens, like a crescent moon.

Tearing claw, cutting wing, piercing beak.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird unleashed its most dangerous and battle-suited parts to the fullest.

Endless attacks surged toward Tang Luo, like violent waves about to engulf a lone little island.

Tang Luo slightly tightened his grip on the Xuanbian; in an instant, the Xuanbian transformed into multiple forms.

Unleashing Thousand Hands cannot defend, counterattacking toward the surroundings "Raging Waves"!

Hammer, axe, sword!

Faintly visible, three forms continuously switching.

Xuanbian·Hundred Weapons Tomb!

The weapons' furious roar, the enemy's tomb!

Heavy and domineering, the great hammer as heavy as mountains smashed the cutting wing, breaking tendons and bones.

The tearing claw was continuously sliced by the sword, torn apart.

The piercing beak, against the axe blade's rotating chop and the axe tip's fierce conical spin like an unstoppable axe, clashed head-on.

The blurred afterimages of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird filling the sky vanished.

In an instant, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird retreated, opening a distance of tens of thousands of meters from Tang Luo.

His wings were broken, twisted into strange shapes, with ghastly white bones piercing through.

Both claws had already vanished.

The sharp beak, as his body trembled slightly, shattered open, leaving only a black-red hollow where it once was.

The blood on his body had not faded; Tang Luo, ten thousand meters away, reappeared before the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird, the distance between them now about a hundred meters.

Tang Luo's body had already turned sideways, his right arm extended forward, holding in his hand the Xuanbian shaped like a great bow.

Left hand drawing the bow, golden feathered arrows had already formed.

Releasing the bowstring.

With a clear, trembling sound, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird's chest exploded with a spray of blood, a fist-sized hole appearing, expanding, nearly blowing the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird in two with one arrow.

"Tang Xuanzang!"

A mournful cry came from the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird.

His body began to continuously swell; in a moment, the colossal creature with a wingspan of nearly a kilometer appeared in the sky.

But now its dignity was gone, extremely disheveled, severe injuries nearly costing him his life.

The vanished beak, in the black-red hollow, a vortex appeared.

"I want your life!"

The Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird roared, the black vortex expanded, endless suction came from within.

The earth beneath his feet, the mountains, rocks, plants, birds, beasts, fish, and insects—all involuntarily flew up, toward the black void in the sky.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird possesses a treasure named the Yin-Yang Two Qi Vessel.

When the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird was imprisoned in the Demon-Subduing Pagoda back then, the Yin-Yang Two Qi Vessel naturally wasn't in his hands; after the collapse of the Hinterland Sea Realm, he was fortunate to retrieve the shattered remnants here in this heaven and earth, leaving only part of the vessel.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird simply refined the remaining vessel fragments into his body, forming the current "Heaven-Swallowing, Earth-Eating" divine ability.

Falling into the black vortex, dead things turned into a pile of powder, living things into pus.

The suction increased with the expansion of the black vortex, growing ever stronger.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird's massive true form, his body nearly completely turned into a black vortex, only a pair of broken wings remained outside the vortex.

The earth's mountain peaks, mountain ranges were all "uprooted," falling into the vortex.

Tang Luo's white hair danced wildly, likewise flying toward the vortex.

Together sucked in.

The black vortex ceased rotating, slowly reversed and shrank, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird's body slowly descended, exhausted to the extreme.

Only one step away from death, he needed rest, and also needed to quickly digest Tang Xuanzang...

Suddenly, as the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird's body fell halfway, it trembled, numerous cracks spread across his body.

The next moment.

The massive Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird was torn apart from within by Tang Luo, split into countless fragments falling toward the earth, shattered and dead!

And those mountains and boulders that hadn't been digested in time fell from the sky.

Roaring, the raised dust and soil covered this area.

"Dare to swallow this, you idiot?"

Blood on the white hair flowed along the hair into the brocade cassock; Tang Luo murmured a sentence, lotuses bloomed beneath his feet, rushing back to "Ling Mountain Thunder Sound Temple".
