562. Chapter 545: Killing the Pig
"Earth Release: Great Earth River!"
"Earth Release: Swamp of the Yellow Springs!"
Upon noticing that Zhu Ganglie's gaze had locked onto Konan, Nagato raised a single hand, his Palm aimed at Zhu Ganglie. Without even needing to form Hand Seals, the Mountain Rocks beneath Zhu Ganglie's feet instantly turned into flowing water and a swamp.
Zhu Ganglie's calves sank directly into it.
"Opportunity!"
Uchiha Madara, hiding in the shadows, seized the moment. With a raise of his hand, several fierce and domineering streams of True Essence surged forth, transforming into several Kunai condensed from Golden Flames. In an instant, they shattered the raised curtain of Earth and Stone.
They shot straight towards Zhu Ganglie's Chest.
At the same time, the Akatsuki members, spotting the opportunity, attacked in unison.
Various high-powered Ninjutsu were hurled towards Zhu Ganglie's Body.
"Fire Style—Great Fireball Technique!"
"Water Style·Great Shark Bullet Technique!"
"Explosion is Art!"
For a moment, various colorful Attacks illuminated Zhu Ganglie's Body like a neon sign.
Fireballs the size of car wheels, sharks condensed from seawater as large as houses... The most incongruous among them was the Ninja who shouted "Explosion is Art". He carried an Individual Missile launcher on one shoulder, while his other hand continuously pulled out block-shaped objects called Explosive Clay from his Spatial Equipment, throwing them at Zhu Ganglie.
"Boom boom boom boom—"
"You're hurting this Old Pig!"
"Not good!"
As Uchiha Madara flung the Kunai, a warning sign rose in his Mind.
He saw Golden Light radiating from Zhu Ganglie's Body within the stirred-up dust. With a shake of his shoulders, his figure expanded like an inflated balloon, growing thousands of feet tall.
Having used the Divine Ability Imitate Heaven and Earth, Zhu Ganglie became taller than the Fuling Mountain beneath his feet. The Earth Release: Great Earth River released by Nagato was directly trampled and exploded by his single Foot.
In Uchiha Madara's shocked Gaze, the Sky above his Head suddenly darkened. A giant sole of a shoe suddenly blocked out the Sky and stepped down towards him.
Uchiha Madara instinctively formed Hand Seals with both hands, his Rinnegan in both pupils rotating rapidly, attempting to use Space-Time Ninjutsu to avoid the giant Foot above his Head.
Beneath the giant Foot that emitted a faint Golden Light, the vibrating Air surged wildly like a tide.
Uchiha Madara felt a strange Force blocking his Space-Time Ninjutsu. Seeing the giant Foot about to step on him, he could only use Body Flicker Technique, hoping to evade with his Movement Technique.
Fortunately, his Speed was extremely fast.
As the sole of the giant Foot stepped down, a terrifyingly fierce Force suddenly surged in all directions.
The Air within several miles was instantly compressed and exploded by this Force. Space vibrated slightly, and layers of ripples rose.
Rumble! The Earth shook and the mountains swayed, the Land cracked open, and tens of thousands of tons of Soil and Sand and Gravel were thrown up dozens or even hundreds of feet! A huge Mushroom Cloud soared into the Sky, the stirred-up dust Sky-shading and sun-blocking, terrifying beyond imagination.
The Complexions of the Reincarnators changed drastically, and they scattered and fled.
Several unlucky individuals who were close by were directly trampled into meat paste by this terrifying giant Foot, mixing with the Sand and Gravel.
This included Kakuzu and Hidan from the Akatsuki who had charged the furthest forward. The two had originally relied on their Undying Body, wanting to rush forward and engage Zhu Ganglie in Close Combat.
But they underestimated the Strength of a "Bodhisattva". Even if it was just an Incarnation, it was not something the two could Provoke.
Let alone them, even the Evil God Behind Hidan would have to step forward and offer a Cigarette if he saw Zhu Ganglie here.
Under Zhu Ganglie's single Foot, whatever Undying Body they possessed instantly lost its Effect.
Those Reincarnators who were fast enough and further away, caught off guard, felt a powerful Force vibrate through them, as if struck by a mountain. They were sent flying hundreds of feet away.
These Reincarnators were still In the Air, coughing up Blood repeatedly. Even with various Items and Magic Tools protecting their Bodies, countless Tendons and Bones were shattered and broken.
"Mere ants, dare to shake Heaven!"
Having used the Divine Ability Imitate Heaven and Earth, Zhu Ganglie, who had become as tall as a mountain, looked down at those ants and raised his leg for another kick.
Zhu Ganglie's previous life was Marshal Canopy, the chief of the Four Saints of the North Pole. In this life, he is the Purification Altar Messenger Bodhisattva of Spirit Mountain.
Like the Great Compassion Guanyin, he also possesses the strengths of both the Buddhist and Taoist Schools. Although he appears obese on the surface, his Strength is not to be underestimated.
Otherwise, that Tripitaka would not have manifested this Zhu Ganglie Incarnation in this World by borrowing his Supreme Treasure Nine-Toothed Rake!
Tripitaka, firstly, valued this second Disciple as one of his own. Even Buddhas have Desire. Within the Buddhist Sect of Spirit Mountain, there are divisions into Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism.
Below these are further subdivisions into various sects such as Sanlun, Tiantai, Huayan, and Zen. Even among the Buddhas themselves, there are small cliques with close Relationships, just like Guanyin Bodhisattva, who always advanced and retreated together with the three great Bodhisattvas Manjushri and Samantabhadra on Spirit Mountain.
Due to achieving enlightenment through the Journey to the West, Tripitaka and his several nominal Disciples naturally formed a small group.
Therefore, when it came to his own Opportunity for enlightenment, Great Master Xuanzang did not trust the Nine-Headed Golden Condor, who was an Incarnation of the Golden-Winged Great Peng, and even expelled the Guanyin's Attendant, who had considerable Magic Power, from this realm. Instead, he borrowed the Magic Treasure of the Purification Altar Messenger Bodhisattva.
Besides the close Master-Disciple Relationship, Great Master Xuanzang also valued the Strength of his second Disciple. Although he had not achieved Great Principle, with Dual Cultivation of both Buddhism and Dao, ordinary Golden Immortals might not necessarily be his Rival.
Just as Great Master Xuanzang thought, even though Zhu Ganglie manifested the Divine Ability Imitate Heaven and Earth, it was merely a wisp of his Primordial Spirit manifesting.
However, this wisp of Primordial Spirit of the Altar Cleaner had been nurtured within the Supreme Treasure Nine-Toothed Rake for countless Yuanhui. Coupled with the assistance of this Divine Weapon.
His every move was as if billions of divine mountains were Empowering his Body, his Strength incredibly powerful.
He merely lifted his Foot and stepped down, and the terrifying pressure was like the Explosion of Nuclear Bombs.
"Hoo la la la la—Truly terrifying! If this guy had a trunk with two tusks, he'd be just like that guy, the Elephant Lord!"
Amidst the swirling dust, Whitebeard's Face was flushed red as if soaked in Blood. Compared to the fleeing Reincarnators, he tore off his Great Cloak, revealing his bare upper Body like King Kong, and charged against the flow towards Zhu Ganglie.
Boom! He moved his limbs, clenched his Fist, and a stream of faint blue Qi Flow erupted around his Entire Body, instantly freezing and solidifying the surging dust.
Whitebeard clenched his Fist, forming a Fist Intent, and punched towards the giant Foot pressing down from above his Head.
"An ant trying to shake a tree!"
Facing the Fist Intent that Whitebeard struck horizontally, Zhu Ganglie sneered dismissively.
He added a little more Force to his Foot. The Air actually surged violently like a tide, emitting a fierce roar.
Large gusts of Qi Flow swept and sprayed in all directions amidst the intense tearing sound of the Air, which sounded like ghosts wailing.
Whitebeard's Mind was shaken. His Entire Body felt as if it had instantly become a vacuum. His Brain buzzed as if a bronze Bell was ringing.
However, Whitebeard showed no fear, punching straight towards the Horizon.
Bang! A huge Shockwave spread out evenly like ripples in all directions. The soaring Qi Flow, carrying countless Soil and Sand and Gravel, swept out like a tsunami from the center of Zhu Ganglie's shoe sole! Buzz! Whitebeard only felt an unimaginable Force instantly transmit from the back of his Fist to every tiny part of his Entire Body!
His Frost Giants Body, which he usually felt was powerful, was instantly shattered like a Bubble in water poked by a finger! It exploded violently! Bang! Blood splattered everywhere! In front of the Crowd of Reincarnators, Whitebeard, who had risen in resistance, was trampled into a sky full of meat paste by Zhu Ganglie's single Foot! Whoosh whoosh!
Amidst the surging Force Wind, Zhu Ganglie's lazy Voice spread out: "What a pity. I originally wanted to take you as a Novice Buddhist Monk, to carry tribute for this Old Pig!"
Zhu Ganglie lowered his Head, his huge Head like a mountain overlooking the Crowd of stunned Reincarnators from the Cloud Top. His "small Eyes" carried a hint of disdain.
"Susanoo!" Seeing Whitebeard's tragic death, Uchiha Madara, who was fleeing into the Distance, stopped his steps. Looking back at the footprint stained red with Blood, a Golden Light suddenly lit up in his Eyes.
The next moment, instead of retreating, he advanced, turning and charging diagonally towards the Sky. As he flew with super speed using Body Flicker Technique, a purple Energy Armor covered his Body. A purple Katana extended from Susanoo's Arm. He held the Blade horizontally and slashed towards the ankle of Zhu Ganglie's giant Foot.
"Lu Xueqi! Protect Biyao!"
Zhang Xiaofan had originally wanted to send Biyao away from here, but the Golden Kasaya Barrier had sealed the surroundings tightly.
Looking at the giant Pig Demon, Zhang Xiaofan glanced at Lu Xueqi, then at Biyao, and nodded at the two of them.
A hint of determination flashed in his Eyes. He held two Fingers together and unleashed a Sword Art. The Soul Devouring Rod in his hand instantly transformed into dense Sword Light, stabbing towards Zhu Ganglie.
Wanrenwang also took a deep look at Biyao, controlling his Magic Treasure to charge towards Zhu Ganglie.
To Zhu Ganglie's surprise, Whitebeard's tragic death did not scare this group of Reincarnators. Instead, it ignited the fighting spirit of these desperate individuals who lived on the edge of a Blade, making them fight to the death.
At this Time, some Reincarnators trapped within this Kasaya Barrier tried every Method. Seeing that they could not break through the Kasaya, they gritted their teeth and turned back, intending to combine their Strength to take down this Pig Demon.
The Reincarnators who had previously avoided the fight all gathered around.
Their emotions were stirred, and a surging killing intent rushed towards Zhu Ganglie.
A Dark Shaman raised his White Bone Staff and began chanting a Dark Spell. Streams of eerie green weakening Magic flew from his Cane Head, shooting towards Zhu Ganglie.
Unfortunately, before these Dark Magic spells could land on Zhu Ganglie's Body, they were extinguished by the Golden Buddhist Radiance emanating from his Entire Body.
The Buddhist Radiance instead wrapped around the Dark Shaman along the path of the Dark Magic. With sounds of hissing and White Smoke rising, the Dark Shaman, who was wearing a Cloak, was completely evaporated by the Buddhist Radiance.
"Manda, Bracchi! Entangle him!"
Orochimaru, with his Long Hair and sinister aura, pressed his hands onto the Ground. After the White Smoke dissipated, two Giant Snakes appeared within the Magic Array in front of him.
These two Giant Snakes were unusually large, capable of swallowing giant elephants. Especially one of the Black Pythons, which had four claws on its Abdomen and deer antlers on its Head, faintly resembling a Dragon.
This Black Python was an Exotic Beast Orochimaru had collected from a Cycle World. He originally had two, but he didn't like the white python named Yimoji.
In a choice between the two, he used Ninjutsu to send a Nuclear Bomb into the belly of the white python. As for subduing this Black Python, just by hearing the name, one knows how thoroughly Orochimaru has researched Snakes and Exotic Beasts. He has nine types of Ninjutsu just for sealing and enslaving such Giant Pythons.
This was originally a Ninjutsu he developed to deal with Manda.
After the two Giant Pythons were Summoned by Orochimaru, they suddenly shot up, hissing as they soared into the High Altitude, biting towards Zhu Ganglie's thighs.
After Zhu Ganglie used Divine Ability Imitate Heaven and Earth, his transformed Body Size was simply too tall. The two Giant Pythons, comparable to skyscrapers, only reached his calves.
The two Giant Pythons were also malicious. Their Snake Heads shot up, their Target aimed directly at Zhu Ganglie's Vital Point.
Even though he was confident in his Physical Body being Diamond Indestructible, Zhu Ganglie did not want his precious pig whip to be bitten.
Boom! Zhu Ganglie stomped his Foot. All tangible and intangible Matter in Space exploded completely! Rumble! Amidst the raging Sonic Boom, his Footfall was like a Meteor falling, smashing onto the Land.
Amidst the Earth shaking and mountains swaying, countless huge, hideous Cracks suddenly appeared on the Ground.
Uchiha Madara, wielding the purple giant Blade, had just rushed to Zhu Ganglie's ankle when a wave of Qi Flow mixed with Golden Light surged up like a tsunami, slamming onto his Body.
Crack! The Energy Armor of Susanoo covering Uchiha Madara's Entire Body directly shattered. He was sent flying like a Scarecrow, whistling through the Air.
Under this Shockwave, not only Uchiha Madara, but also Zhang Xiaofan's Myriad Swords Art, Wanrenwang's Treasured Sword, and the Attacks of the Crowd of Reincarnators were all swept away uncontrollably like fallen leaves in the Wind. Crash! The two Giant Pythons, who bore the brunt of the Impact, were even trampled into meat paste by one Foot. Snake Blood splattered out like raindrops, hitting the Ground with a pitter-patter sound.
"Now, who, dares to disobey!"
"Who else!"
Zhu Ganglie looked down from above, like a Deity overlooking the Mortal Realm. The Expression on his pig Head was as cold as the Gods and Buddhas in a Temple.
"Zhu Bajie!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing the Voice from above his Head, Zhu Ganglie's Eyes widened, shooting out beams of Radiance that illuminated The Void.
He felt that sense of Crisis again, like a thorn in his side.
He raised his Head and saw a huge ripple appearing in the Void Space dozens of miles away, as if Space had turned into a Water Surface, and a True Dragon was about to break out of the water.
The Qi Flow was pushed by the endless ripples, creating a giant layer of Qi Flow hundreds or thousands of miles wide in the High Altitude.
Between Heaven and Earth, it suddenly darkened.
Rumble! As Zhu Ganglie's eyelids twitched wildly, a giant Finger extended from the Air.
That Finger had no hair or Pores. Its entirety was smooth as jade. Just one finger joint extending out was like a Mountain Peak ten thousand feet high stretching across the Sky!
Sky-shading and sun-blocking, terrifying beyond compare.
"How is this possible?! Golden Immortal?! Master, you tricked this Old Pig!"
Zhu Ganglie let out a roar of shock and disbelief.
Seeing that giant Finger, which looked like a ten-thousand-foot Mountain Peak, continue to extend, its terrifying deterrent Force covered tens of thousands of miles of Sky.
The Wind stopped flowing, the Clouds stopped moving. Within tens of thousands of miles, it was as if Light was frozen in mid-Air! Zhu Ganglie's Complexion changed drastically, a look of Terror appearing on his pig Face.
In anger and frustration, Zhu Ganglie cursed the bald monks in his Mind while spitting twice into his Palm.
He swung the Nine-Toothed Rake. The Nine-Toothed Rake bloomed with rays of light.
Rip!
The Nine-Toothed Rake violently dragged across the Ground, hooking onto a thousand-foot Mountain Peak.
Zhu Ganglie swung it with Force. Rumble! In the clear Sky for thousands of miles, a series of clear sky thunderclaps suddenly sounded.
The thousand-foot peak was uprooted, tearing through the Air, compressing the surging Qi Flow, emitting a piercing Sonic Boom, and smashing towards the giant Finger above his Head.
Facing the thousand-foot Mountain Peak weighing billions of tons, the Finger, which was even larger than a Mountain Peak tens of thousands of feet high, suddenly extended and flicked it away effortlessly! The next moment, terrifying, boundless Force erupted.
Rumble! The Qi Flow surged, and a terrifying sound like the collapse of Heaven came.
Even with Zhu Ganglie's powerful Physical Body, which was Diamond Indestructible, his Head buzzed from the huge sound.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Continuous Qi Flow explosions. Countless huge Mushroom Clouds rose into the Sky.
"You have the guts to wait until this Old Pig's Main Body arrives! What kind of Strength is it to bully a Clone!"
Zhu Ganglie let out an unwilling roar. Immediately after, he was pierced through by that single Finger, like a Bubble.
Then, his giant Body, manifested by Divine Ability Imitate Heaven and Earth, suddenly exploded, turning into a sky full of Blood Rain.
Whoosh whoosh!
Under the stunned and bewildered Gazes of the few surviving Reincarnators, The Void trembled slightly. A giant Palm, like a mountain, extended out, grabbed the Nine-Toothed Rake, and disappeared without a trace.
Then the Clouds turned and the Wind flowed, as if everything before was just an Illusion.
A moment later, a Dreadnought appeared at the Cloud Top.
