Chapter 2361: Terrifying Suicide Attack
A few seconds later, the golden lotus bloomed again, radiating intense golden light, repelling the stingrays.
The Buddha statue reappeared in the starry sky, and Xiaowu suddenly shouted, "The bald donkey's Buddha statue is damaged!"
At this moment, many parts of the Buddha statue were damaged. The statue was a manifestation of the Buddha's soul, and its damage indicated that the soul had been injured.
Golden light continuously flowed from the lotus, entering the Buddha statue to repair the damage.
The Golden Lotus Buddha appeared somewhat disheveled and weak, "You little brat, this Buddha will kill you!"
Being insulted as a "bald donkey" again, the Golden Lotus Buddha was furious, but the stingrays surrounding him left him helpless.
Xiaowu made a face, "What's wrong with cursing you? I'll keep cursing you, bald donkey, bald donkey!"
The Golden Lotus Buddha had never been so humiliated. In the Great Shami Realm, he was the supreme existence.
Even outside the Great Shami Realm, he was respected and worshipped by countless people.
He roared, and the golden lotus expanded, sending all the attacking stingrays flying.
The golden lotus spun rapidly, carrying the Buddha statue towards Xiaowu.
Xiaowu screamed and immediately hid behind the Red Star Supreme, acting tough but hiding after cursing.
The calf mooed, and several stingrays that had been sent flying rushed back, heading straight for the golden lotus.
One of the advantages of the stingrays was their incredible speed.
They were much faster than the golden lotus and caught up in an instant.
The stingrays didn't bite but used all their strength to crash into the golden lotus.
This collision was equivalent to a full-force attack from a peak Supreme, and the golden lotus was momentarily halted.
More and more stingrays flew in from all directions, crashing into the golden lotus without hesitation.
The golden lotus was continuously hit, making it difficult to advance.
The Buddha was furious, wanting to kill Xiaowu, but he couldn't break through.
As a Celestial Venerable-level treasure, the golden lotus had incredibly strong defenses, and the stingrays couldn't break through.
Gradually, the stingrays' heads began to crack, becoming a bloody mess.
But the stingrays kept crashing, their strength increasing, resembling a suicide attack.
Indeed, the stingrays were committing suicide. The calf had ordered them to crash into the golden lotus until they died.
The resurrected had no feelings and no fear of death; they only followed orders.
The stingrays continuously crashed into the golden lotus from all directions, each collision equivalent to a full-force attack from a peak Supreme.
Seventeen peak Supremes launched a relentless suicide attack on the Golden Lotus Buddha.
Although the golden lotus had strong defenses, enough to withstand the attacks, it was continuously shaken and couldn't move.
The Golden Lotus Buddha wanted to counterattack, but remembering the powerful self-destruction earlier, he hesitated.
He was thus forced to a standstill in the starry sky by the stingrays' relentless attacks, unable to advance or retreat.
The calf whispered, "Senior Red Star, let's retreat quickly!"
The Red Star Supreme immediately understood the calf's intention and quickly retreated.
He also concentrated all his power to withstand the impact.
The Golden Lotus Buddha seemed to realize something, his eyes showing fear.
Finally, a stingray launched the most powerful collision of its resurrected life.
Its body shattered in the violent collision, exploding with a loud bang.
It bid farewell to the world in the most violent way.
Immediately after, the second, third...
One by one, the stingrays charged towards the Golden Lotus Buddha amidst the explosion's aftermath, determined to die in front of the Buddha, leaving the explosion for him.
The continuous explosions shattered even the deepest layers of space.
The starry sky fell into eternal fragmentation, impossible to repair.
The Red Star Supreme endured the massive aftermath, continuously roaring, flames boiling and forming a shield to block the impact.
He had used all his strength, but the aftermath was too intense. The Red Star Supreme was continuously pushed back, flying billions of miles away.
If he was in such a state, the Golden Lotus Buddha at the explosion's center must be in a worse condition.
Finally, after the explosions ceased, a faint golden light appeared.
The golden lotus was now tattered, with all its petals shattered, its aura drastically weakened, no longer at the Celestial Venerable level.
Even a Celestial Venerable-level treasure couldn't withstand such a severe explosion and was severely damaged.
As for the Buddha statue, it was even worse, with only a third remaining.
The soul that the Golden Lotus Buddha had spent two thousand years sending over was now half-damaged.
He no longer had the imposing aura he had when he first arrived, his voice trembling, "You bastards, you all deserve to die!"
But his threat was weak and powerless.
Xiaowu poked her head out, "He seems to be called the Golden Lotus Buddha, but now that the golden lotus is gone, what should we call him?"
The calf said, "We should call him the Ancient Buddha."
Xiaowu shook her head, "No, we should call him the Ancient Bald Donkey. Yes, from now on, he's the Ancient Bald Donkey!"
Being insulted again, the Ancient Buddha trembled with rage.
He suddenly roared, and the Buddha statue began to burn fiercely, while waves of killing intent swept across the starry sky.
The Red Star Supreme was shocked, "He's burning his soul, he doesn't want the origin anymore, he wants to kill us!"
A Celestial Venerable burning his soul could unleash unimaginable power.
Even though he was severely injured, a Celestial Venerable was still a Celestial Venerable, and the power unleashed by burning his soul was not something they could withstand.
Although knowing he couldn't stop him, the Red Star Supreme didn't retreat but said to Xiaowu, "You two leave quickly, I'll hold him off."
Xiaowu shook her head, "Don't worry, Master said we wouldn't be in danger."
The calf gritted its teeth, mooing, "I believe in Master too."
Lin Moyu had never made a mistake in his calculations, and the calf chose to trust him.
The Ancient Buddha's aura, burning his remaining soul, rose again, and new petals grew on the shattered golden lotus.
This wasn't the treasure itself recovering but a virtual manifestation due to the restored power.
Once the power was exhausted, the treasure would still be broken.
Burning his soul, the Ancient Buddha's aura returned to the peak Supreme level.
He carried killing intent, "I will kill you all!"
The origin was already impossible to obtain, and even the treasure had to be left behind, a huge loss.
Since that was the case, he decided to kill these people who had insulted him before failing, at least to vent his anger.
A dragon roar suddenly sounded, green light spreading across the starry sky, and a green divine dragon appeared in the sky.
Massive origin power surged in the starry sky, transforming into countless sharp swords, falling towards the Ancient Buddha.
Then, a storm howled, flames rising within the storm, turning into a firestorm.
The Ancient Buddha screamed, "Why are you back!"
The Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger attacked simultaneously.
As origin divine beasts, their attacks contained origin power, not weaker than peak Supremes.
Especially the Azure Dragon, the strongest among the origin divine beasts, its combat power surpassed most peak Supremes.
The Ancient Buddha, burning his soul, was engulfed by overwhelming attacks before he could strike.
His voice disappeared under the origin power, his remaining soul completely annihilated, leaving only a broken golden lotus in the starry sky.
The golden lotus lost its movement. Even as a Celestial Venerable-level treasure, it was on the verge of collapse after such attacks.
The four origin divine beasts arrived, seeing the origin safe and sound, they sighed in relief.
The Red Star Supreme also sighed in relief, "Luckily you arrived in time. Why did you come back?"
The Vermilion Bird said, "Lin Moyu told us to come back."
The Red Star Supreme asked, "How is the situation on the Battle Realm side?"
The four origin divine beasts shook their heads, indicating they didn't know.
When they left, Lin Moyu was still fighting.
But fortunately, they returned in time, or the Red Star Supreme and the others would have been in danger.
The Human Emperor appeared in the starry sky, bowing to them, "Thank you, seniors."
The Vermilion Bird glanced at him, "We didn't come to protect the human race, we only protect the origin. Even if all of you humans die, it has nothing to do with us!"
