The Strange Ability of Buddha
In the void, a colossal beast composed entirely of flames coiled and coiled, its blood-red eyes gazing down below.
The giant beast was several thousand meters long, and apart from its scaly body, it no longer resembled a giant python at all.
Not only were the onlookers stunned, but even Futu's expression froze upon seeing it.
"This is a real dragon!" someone in the crowd shouted.
Although mythical beasts have almost disappeared in this era, some historical documents about them have still survived. The demigods who have survived to this day in the virtual world are almost all Prodigy Experts; it's not surprising that some of them, upon seeing information about ancient mythical beasts, could recognize a true dragon.
True dragons are among the top three most powerful beings on the ancient mythical beast Ranking List. Throughout the entire ancient era, they have never fallen out of the top three, and have even repeatedly ascended to the top spot on the mythical beast Ranking List. They are also among the few powerful species born as Third Level life forms.
It can be said that anything related to a true dragon is anything but simple.
And Gu Ding's "Burning Heaven" technique, capable of reflecting the energy state of a true dragon, is definitely not a simple technique. The true dragon coiled in the void, radiating endless pressure downwards, its blood-red pupils quickly locking onto Fu Tu.
Fu Tu felt an immense pressure pressing down on him, making it difficult even to move his body. Looking at the true dragon's cold eyes and slowly opening maw, a strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart.
As expected, a scorching energy rapidly condensed in the dragon's mouth, and a Five-Colored Flames suddenly erupted, like a tidal wave, engulfing the pagoda.
Futu struggled frantically, trying to break free from the true dragon's grasp. He knew that the power of this flame was completely different from that spewed by the giant fire python before; once he was touched, his elimination would be inevitable.
Five-Colored Flames descended like a waterfall, just before engulfing the Buddha. The Emperor Projection above the Buddha's head shot out two Golden Light from its eyes once more. In that life-or-death moment, the Buddha felt the pressure on his body suddenly ease, and he immediately retreated, barely avoiding the true dragon's attack.
Seeing that the Buddha dodged, the true dragon seemed a little angry and let out a roar.
The dragon's roar shook the heavens and earth, echoing in the ears of everyone present, lingering for a long time. But to Futu, that long roar was a death knell. It caused the energy within his body to vibrate wildly; if it weren't for his robust physique, he would have exploded long ago. The sound could even pierce directly to the soul level, attempting to pull Futu's soul away from his body, but due to the suppression of the Emperor Projection, Futu's soul was not greatly affected. Even so, the Emperor Projection clearly became dim and unclear under the vibration. Futu's soul power was also being rapidly depleted. The second move again failed to achieve the desired effect. The true dragon was clearly enraged, two Blood Radiance shooting from its eyes. Without any warning, Futu's entire body was enveloped by a strange blood-red energy; he didn't even feel any pain, only watching his body rapidly disintegrate.
Just as his body was nearly half-disintegrated, the Emperor Projection above the Buddha's head let out a loud shout. "Hmph!"
A burst of golden energy rippled outwards, directly entering the Buddha's body and repairing its nearly collapsing form. After the repair was complete, the Golden Light emanated from the body, clashing with the crimson energy. After a long while, the Blood Radiance finally dissipated, and the Golden Light was completely exhausted.
After this ordeal, the Emperor Projection above the Buddha's head has completely dimmed and is on the verge of collapse. It feels as if it could disappear with the slightest touch.
The third move failed again, and the true dragon was completely enraged. After a furious roar, a giant claw slammed down on the location of the pagoda.
The onlookers gasped in surprise, for the dragon's attack had already overwhelmed Futu with its indirect assault. Now, with a single claw strike, Futu's elimination seemed almost inevitable.
The giant claw completely disregarded the rules of space; the true dragon's giant claw had only just extended when it appeared above the head of the Buddha.
Futu knew that dodging was useless, so he chose to take the hit head-on, lowered his waist and immediately threw a punch into the sky.
Even the Emperor Projection above the Buddha's head clearly sensed the danger, and actually stood up from his throne and also launched an attack towards the sky, merging with the Buddha's attack.
In the void, the golden energy condensed into the head of a golden lion, which opened its mouth to bite at the giant golden claw.
"Boom!"
The moment the two made contact, a violent explosion resounded, and a shockwave also erupted, creating a series of extremely strong gusts of wind.
The storm rippled outwards again and again, like ripples spreading across water after pebbles dropped into it, one after another.
Many onlookers who were not strong enough were blown away by the strong wind.
Even Elsa and the others had to use all their strength to stand still.
Many top experts also carved several meters of trenches in the ground with their feet.
If Elsa hadn't been holding her back, Miko would have been sent flying long ago.
After the strong winds subsided, the battle finally came to a conclusion.
The Emperor Projection above the Buddha's head cracked open with a snap, and then the crack grew larger and larger, radiating outwards like a spider web. In just a moment, it completely disintegrated, turning into strange fragments and disappearing without a trace.
The dragon's golden, fiery claw had been retracted, and Futu stood swaying precariously, seemingly unable to even stand steadily.
Just when everyone thought the battle was about to end, a strange purple energy suddenly emanated from Futu's body.
Standing opposite the Buddha, Gu Ding clearly saw that with the appearance of that purple energy, the Buddha's injuries were rapidly healing. The Buddha, who was on the verge of death, seemed to have been infused with new energy.
Gu Ding was somewhat surprised when Fu Tu actually formed strange hand seals again, and a projection actually took shape again above his head.
The projection was of a Purple-Robed Man. He did not have a throne, but he wore a Blood-Colored Crown on his head.
After the Purple-Robed Man appeared, Futu not only fully recovered from his injuries, but his aura was also much stronger than before, giving the impression that he had entered the official competition after a warm-up match.
But Gu Ding knew that things weren't that simple.
Whether it's a crown or a throne, any projection bearing these two symbols is Emperor Projection. This is common knowledge; almost everyone in this virtual world knows it.
The fact that two Emperor Projection were summoned in succession opened the eyes of many people.
The Emperor Projection usually appears when one has reached the pinnacle in a certain aspect of martial arts. For example, Bigge's Emperor Projection and Scarlet's Emperor Projection both appeared for this reason.
The two Emperor Projection indicate that this pagoda has reached its peak in at least two aspects of martial arts.
Although Gu Ding was powerful, he had never actually summoned the Emperor Projection even once. This is why, in his battle against Futu, he did not summon the Emperor Projection like Futu did.
The formation of the second Emperor Projection also angered the true dragon that was coiled in the sky.
After the dragon roared, its long, golden tail suddenly pierced through space and struck down towards the location of the pagoda.
Even Gu Ding did not expect the true dragon to launch such an attack.
The giant tail fell down as if an enormous mountain had crushed it.
But this time, Futu still didn't dodge. Instead, he looked up at the sky and slowly raised a hand towards the giant tail.
Seeing Futu's actions, the onlookers couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"What is Futu doing?"
"He doesn't think he can stop it like this, does he? (Quite a few words)"
"This Emperor Projection will probably only last three or four hits before it collapses."
On the contrary, Gu Ding felt that things were not so simple, because if it were him, he would definitely choose to dodge this attack. Although he had summoned a new Emperor Projection and his injuries had been healed, it would be extremely unwise to take the hit head-on in this disadvantageous situation. He felt that Futu couldn't possibly be unaware of this, so Futu's action seemed very strange.
Just as Gu Ding was deep in thought, the giant tail crashed down, and the Emperor Projection above Fu Tu's head finally made a move, raising one hand just like Fu Tu.
With a loud "boom," Gu Ding witnessed a shocking scene.
The attack from the true dragon didn't land on the Buddha statue, but instead struck the Emperor Projection directly.
"What's going on?!"
Gu Ding had no idea what was going on. The Emperor Projection was supposed to be unable to cause physical interference, and could only provide enhancements and some assistance to the summoner.
"He has the ability to influence the rules, so it's not surprising that this happened. Didn't you already know that he could ignore the detection limitations of this world? Now that he's ignoring other limitations, it's not surprising either," the Sea Emperor finally spoke.
"Wouldn't that be considered cheating? There are quite a few words involved," Gu Ding said, somewhat speechless.
"Strictly speaking, it doesn't count. Because the ability to ignore the rules is one of his abilities, and it's only natural to use it in battle." The Sea Emperor didn't think it was cheating.
Of course, the collision between the Emperor Projection and Gu Ding's true dragon attack also shocked many others, and many people shared the same doubts as Gu Ding.
Seeing this, Scarlet rubbed her eyes hard a few times before muttering under her breath, "How did he do that?"
After the purple Emperor Projection blocked the true dragon's attack, it suddenly leaped up and pounced towards the fiery true dragon.
