Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 558: New Skill - "Wrath of Vidyaraja

His heart trembled, and at that moment, Tiger Conquering Arhat only felt his hands and feet turn ice cold.

He was very aware of the terror of the Immeasurable Kalpa.

The most terrifying aspect was that it clouded the Spirit Platform, causing one to unwittingly commit many foolish acts that one wouldn't normally consider, blindly meeting disaster!

Initially, anger indeed blazed in Tiger Conquering Arhat's heart. His Dharma Protector Beast had been killed by Xuanzang, and even though he had shouted for him to stop, Xuanzang didn't cease.

Was this an intentional act to kill his own Dharma Protector Beast?

Though his identity was extraordinary, even a second disciple of Tathagata, he was after all only a monk in this lifetime.

He hadn't even been conferred a title yet, did he intend to ride roughshod over him!?

Filled with anger, Tiger Conquering Arhat spoke without much thought.

However, upon hearing Xuanzang call him a demon, the murderous intent in his eyes undisguised, Tiger Conquering Arhat was shocked, his anger quenched as if doused with a bucket of ice water.

What was he doing? Arguing with Xuanzang!? Challenging the person central to the Immeasurable Kalpa's destiny!?

Was he seeking death!?

"Humph, what kind of evil demon are you!? How dare you use the Method of Transformation to bewitch me and impersonate Tiger Conquering Arhat? Today, I shall execute you on the spot," Jiang Liu said, his face bearing the stern color of righteousness.

As he spoke, he activated the Eighteen-Ranked Lotus, and an indescribable force pressured directly towards Tiger Conquering Arhat.

"Wait, Xuanzang, I am not a demon, I truly am Tiger Conquering Arhat! Stop immediately!"

Xuanzang's cultivation level was inconsequential, but the Eighteen-Ranked Lotus made Tiger Conquering Arhat feel an unbearable pressure, and he cried out in alarm while simultaneously pleading loudly for mercy.

"Humph! Do not try to deceive me! All in the Buddhist Sect are beings who have seen through life and death, and Tiger Conquering Arhat is a leading figure among us, how could he beg for mercy? Your actions confirm even more that you are an imposter!"

Jiang Liu was unmoved by Tiger Conquering Arhat's pleas, further solidifying his speech that the Tiger Conquering Arhat before him was a fake.

Talk about flattery!

People of the Buddhist Sect love to flatter, don't they? Today, Jiang Liu himself unknowingly learned this method of flattery.

He had praised the entire Buddhist Sect, and even Tiger Conquering Arhat profusely, yet his actions were merciless.

All his power poured into the Eighteen-Ranked Lotus. Under Jiang Liu's manipulation, the light within the Eighteen-Ranked Lotus turned black, emanating a destructive aura, pressing directly down on Tiger Conquering Arhat.

This was the World-Destroying Power contained within the Eighteen-Ranked Lotus.

"Ah!!!"

Under the attack of the Eighteen-Ranked Lotus, Tiger Conquering Arhat let out a miserable scream, his figure being directly crushed down, unable to even straighten himself.

In Jiang Liu's gaze, Tiger Conquering Arhat's health bar also continuously decreased.

In just a dozen breaths, Tiger Conquering Arhat's health bar had emptied.

However, since the lotus's attack was continuous, the state of being critically wounded and on the brink of unconsciousness instantly shifted to complete death.

Notification: Gained 108,000 Experience Points and obtained "Wrath of Vidyaraja".

As Tiger Conquering Arhat was slain, the system notification also rang in Jiang Liu's mind.

Hearing this sound, Jiang Liu's heart first leaped for joy.

He opened up his inventory space and surely, a new Skill Book appeared in front of Jiang Liu, exactly the Compassionate Bodhisattva's skill.

After such a long time, a Compassionate Bodhisattva's Skill Book had finally appeared, and by a stroke of luck, it was exactly of a level he could learn now, the Compassionate Bodhisattva Level 55 Skill Book.

The Level 60 "Soul-Returning Spell" burst forth first.

Unexpectedly, the Level 55 "Wrath of Vidyaraja" only burst forth now.

Jiang Liu did not waste time, immediately learning the Skill Book and carefully checking out the skill's attribute information, his face filled with immense joy.

This skill was even more powerful than he had imagined.

Fortunately, he now had a good number of Skill Points on hand. Jiang Liu then invested 3 more Skill Points, smashing the "Wrath of Vidyaraja" skill up to the highest level.

Wrath of Vidyaraja (Great Perfection): Instantly unleashes one's power to repel all surrounding enemy targets and causes 1 second of stun effect, damage +12000+40%, cooldown time 1200 seconds.

Impressive!

Looking at the Great Perfection level of Wrath of Vidyaraja, Jiang Liu's heart secretly rejoiced.

Firstly, this skill possessed dual control effects, repelling and stunning.

Secondly, it was an area-of-effect skill.

Finally, the damage value of this skill is not weak either, even some stronger than that of the Lotus Spell.

However, as a Control type skill in the group, Wrath of Vidyaraja also has a rather long cooldown time, reaching as long as 1200 seconds, while the cooldown time for the Lotus Spell is only 15 seconds.

"Master, impressive!"

Sun Wukong, standing beside him, had no intention of intervening. It could be said that he had witnessed Jiang Liu directly taking out the Tiger Conquering Arhat, which made Sun Wukong couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, admiringly saying.

"The Tiger Conquering Arhat, as one of the top figures among the Arhats, is not easy to kill under normal circumstances, Master. Fortunately, this eighteen-grade lotus is indeed a supreme treasure!" Following Sun Wukong's praise, Jiang Liu also remarked somewhat sentimentally.

He felt sentimental about now possessing the power to slay beings in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, as well as the power of the eighteen-grade lotus.

Although the lotus is powerful, as the saying goes, strong moves inevitably harm oneself; the power required to activate the lotus is also quite significant.

Just in that short while, slaying the Tiger Conquering Arhat had consumed about half of his internal power.

He might be invincible on the same level, but using this lotus to challenge those on higher levels might overtax his own power.

Could it be? In the future, must he only rely on potions?

Not Healing Potions, but Mana Potions!

With myriad thoughts in his mind, overall, Jiang Liu was still very happy.

Being able to slay the Tiger Conquering Arhat had indeed assisted the situation in the upcoming great battle in Spirit Mountain and had eliminated a threat, weakening some power of the Western Spirit Mountain.

One could see the joyous expression on Sun Wukong's face as well.

He still remembered when he first met his master; his Cultivation Level had been very weak, and at that time, he even talked about upending the heavens and Immortals and Buddhas? Sun Wukong just thought he was foolishly dreaming, not really expecting him to play a significant role.

Yet, along the journey up to now, in just a short two to three years, had the Master grown to this extent?

He truly wanted to see just how far his strength could evolve in time!

After killing the Tiger Conquering Arhat, Jiang Liu naturally returned with Daoji to the Great Luo Temple.

Learning that Daoji had been successfully rescued, the entire Great Luo Temple was naturally overjoyed.

Notification: Completed the mission "Rescue," earned 62 million Experience Points, received a Legendary Level Treasure Chest*1.

Following Jiang Liu's successful return of Daoji to the Great Luo Temple, the system's notification sounded, instantly adding another 62 million Experience Points and a Legendary Level Treasure Chest.

However, at this time, Jiang Liu did not have the time to check it.

"Amitabha Buddha..." Seeing Daoji safely returned, Master Puhui was also profoundly joyful, murmuring a Buddhist chant softly.

This time when Daoji was captured by the Demons, it had truly frightened Master Puhui nearly to death.

It was precisely because of this that seeing Jiang Liu mobilizing all his power to find and successfully rescue Daoji, Master Puhui, amidst his joy, also felt somewhat guilty.

After all, he had previously sought to drive him away.

"Thank you, Holy Monk, thank you, Holy Monk, I, as a monk, truly owe the Holy Monk..."

Seeing Daoji safely back, Master Puhui, while expressing gratitude, also bowed his head with a guilt-ridden expression.

"What do you mean by this, Master?"

Seeing Master Puhui's guilty expression, Jiang Liu pondered briefly, roughly guessing the situation. However, he pretended on the surface to not understand at all as he spoke.

"Previously, I specifically went to the palace to meet His Majesty and agreed with His Majesty to have the Holy Monk leave Great Luo Temple, leave Mingji Nation, as soon as possible. Thinking about it today, I am overcome with shame!"

"Fortunately, it did not succeed, otherwise, after Daoji was captured, I really wouldn't know what to do..." With a guilty expression, Master Puhui spoke, confessing the situation at that time.

"Hmm, the rescue mission is completed, does that mean the mission to uncover the truth is also completed?" Hearing Master Puhui's words, Jiang Liu felt a secret joy.

"Amitabha, regarding this matter, I also had some understanding and found it strange. I wonder why Master Puhui wanted to do so at that time?" Since Master Puhui was willing to come forward and admit his mistake openly, Jiang Liu did not press on, merely asking for the reasons behind his actions.

"Between me and the Holy Monk, there naturally were no hard feelings, and I would not expel you. However, the decree was challenging..."

Hearing Jiang Liu's inquiry and hesitating slightly, Master Puhui continued, "As a Disciple, I should not speak of an Arhat's right and wrong. Yet today, I shall be frank with the Holy Monk, the reason I wanted you to hasten on your journey was due to the decree from Tiger Conquering Arhat!"

"I see, so it was him!" Hearing Master Puhui's words, Jiang Liu nodded, understanding the situation.

Notification: Completed the mission "Investigate the Truth," mission rewards 50 million Experience Points, rewarded with a Legendary Level Treasure Chest*1.

As Master Puhui spoke, revealing the truth of the matter, the system's notification sound rang out again.

With both missions completed, that was over 100 million Experience Points and two Legendary Level Treasure Chests credited, and Jiang Liu felt silently thrilled.

Indeed, undertaking missions is the quickest way to earn Experience Points...
