Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Chapter 944: Maitreya: How to fight this? (1st update)



The Green Lotus Treasured Flag, when it was in my hand, was a defense that was said to be unbreakable by Non-Saintly Power, making Jiang Liu feel as if I had opened a cheat for no damage—extremely satisfying.

But now, facing Maitreya Buddha, with the Green Lotus Treasured Flag returned to his hand, for Jiang Liu, this experience wasn't so pleasant.

A defense ability of one billion, really speaks for itself in terms of height.

However, although Maitreya Buddha's cultivation level fell from Quasi-Saint to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak, his identity as one of the Three-World Buddhas was still retained. Therefore, it was reasonable for Zhunti to grant him the Green Lotus Treasured Flag as a defense.

Maitreya Buddha has been slain once already; he cannot be killed again, right?

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be the loss of Maitreya Buddha as a strong figure, but also a loss for the entire Buddhist Sect's reputation.

Holding the Green Lotus Treasured Flag in hand, Maitreya Buddha looked solemnly at the mysterious person before him.

The defense ability of the Innate Five-Directional Flag is unrivaled, but even holding the Green Lotus Treasured Flag, Maitreya Buddha dared not relax in front of this mysterious person.

Because, in terms of Treasure quality, the Tai Chi Diagram indeed slightly surpasses the Five-Direction Flag.

Moreover, from the recent confrontation, Maitreya Buddha could feel that the Tai Chi Diagram transforming into the White Jade Golden Bridge displayed the mysterious person's powerful force, which even the Green Lotus Treasured Flag could barely resist.

Originally holding the Green Lotus Treasured Flag, Maitreya Buddha felt assured of his life's safety. In the world, apart from Saints, few could break the Innate Five-Directional Flag's defense.

But, this mysterious person is precisely one of those few exceptions.

With only 800 seconds of duration, there's not much time for Jiang Liu to think.

Though the Green Lotus Treasured Flag appeared in Maitreya Buddha's hand, which indeed surprised Jiang Liu, at this point, there couldn't be any hesitation.

That Calamity Book, I am determined to get it!

And what of the Green Lotus Treasured Flag? The defense is indeed high, but I am not incapable of breaking through.

Could it be? Having a Green Lotus Treasured Flag in hand truly makes him invincible?

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Liu once again invigorated the Golden Body, then immediately cast a Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra on himself, further enhancing his Attack Power.

Flicking fingers in succession, with Jiang Liu's actions, streaks of light shot out from between his fingers.

Dense like torrential rain.

Looking at the incoming attack from Jiang Liu, Maitreya Buddha felt heavy-hearted, naturally not daring to underestimate it.

The Green Lotus Treasured Flag unfurled, blocking these attacks, one after the other.

However, under the attack, the fierce force caused Maitreya Buddha to continuously retreat.

After all, unable to completely fend off the Tai Chi Diagram's force, even the remaining attacks were enough to give Maitreya Buddha a hard time.

Under Jiang Liu's attack, Maitreya Buddha kept retreating, the overpowering force suppressing him, leaving him with almost no power to resist.

Yet, seeing Maitreya Buddha being suppressed by Jiang Liu, the monks of the Eastern Temple looked at each other.

Though they all see that Jiang Liu's strength is indeed terrifying, looking closely, today's mysterious person seems somehow different.

Previously in Ming Sect, the battle between the mysterious person and Randeng Buddha featured such powerful spells, casually executed.

But today, the mysterious person seems not to have used those dazzling and powerful spells from that day?

Only using his own raw power for attack?

Strong, indeed, but relatively speaking, it seems weaker than when battling Randeng Buddha before.

What's going on? Today's mysterious person's combat style seems different from before.

His combat methods, are they really this diversified?

These suspicions in people's hearts, Jiang Liu naturally ignored. After a brief tussle, seeing Maitreya Buddha suppressed under him, though getting injured, the heads-up display of the Health Bar wasn't dropping fast.

And after all, the Special Effect time of the Tai Chi Diagram is limited, merely 800 seconds.

After some contemplation, Jiang Liu took a deep breath, wanting to use Control Skills against Maitreya Buddha.

After all, Maitreya Buddha hasn't reached the Quasi-Saint level; my Control Skills should be effective against him.

Skills like Silencing Zen and Healing Holy Hand could control him, making killing Maitreya Buddha much easier.

Also, the Weakness Talisman can weaken the opponent in all aspects.

But, with this idea springing up, Jiang Liu secretly shook his head, casting it out of mind.

Forget it, my skills are too distinctive; once used, they would surely be recognized by others.

Though previously the Good Corpse had engaged during the Ming Sect incident while I was still in the Illusionary Demon Cave, seemingly having a perfect alibi.

I see no need to draw suspicion towards myself, right?

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Liu looked at Maitreya Buddha.

The 800-second duration had already passed 200 seconds, yet under the defense of the Green Lotus Treasured Flag, Maitreya Buddha's health bar still showed about 85% left.

Judging from the time, it seemed almost impossible to kill him within the effective duration.

"It seems I can only use this!" After a brief silence, Jiang Liu flipped his hand, and immediately, a bottle of potion appeared in his hand.

Super Dazzling Enhancement Divine Medicine (consumable): After consuming, all skill mana consumption is reduced by 100%, all skills and equipment special effects' cooldown times are reduced by 90%, movement speed +60%, attack speed +100%, toughness and control reduction 25%, critical hits deal 25% additional damage, Dragon Clan resistance +35%, duration 1-4000 seconds.

The divine medicine, once taken, can reduce skill cooldown time by 90%, and also increase attack speed by 100%.

For Jiang Liu, this might be the best method to kill Maitreya Buddha.

4000 seconds' time? Naturally, there was no need for so long.

Jiang Liu uncorked the wooden stopper and took a small sip of the divine medicine. Soon, the system notification he wanted sounded.

Notification: You have gained the enhanced effect, all skill mana consumption reduced by 100%, all skills and equipment special effects' cooldown times reduced by 90%, movement speed +60%, attack speed +100%, toughness and control reduction 25%, critical hits deal 25% additional damage, Dragon Clan resistance +35%, duration 450 seconds.

450 seconds? It was a slightly smaller sip, but no worries; after all, taking medicine can hardly be that precise.

The most important thing was, 450 seconds was more than enough for Jiang Liu to take down Maitreya Buddha.

The main thing was reducing the cooldown time of all skills and equipment effects by 90%, which was the most critical for Jiang Liu.

"What did he just drink?" Seeing Jiang Liu take a sip of the divine medicine, Maitreya Buddha was inwardly surprised.

Drinking a potion during a battle? That's something only the injured would do, right?

But in this battle so far, it's been the other side attacking while I've only been defending passively, so why? Why is the other side drinking a potion first?

However, very soon, Maitreya Buddha's doubts were answered.

After drinking the potion, Jiang Liu said no more words. He raised his hand and cast a Silencing Zen straight at Maitreya Buddha.

As the Silencing Zen skill landed on Maitreya Buddha, the power inside him turned into a stagnant pool, impossible to mobilize.

Following that, Jiang Liu immediately unleashed a strike, shooting towards Maitreya Buddha.

With Silencing Zen lasting 2 seconds, unable to mobilize his inner power, Maitreya Buddha naturally did not dare face Jiang Liu's attack and swiftly dodged.

However, as he dodged, Jiang Liu raised his finger once more, hurling another Silencing Zen onto Maitreya Buddha.

Another Silencing Zen.

This skill originally had a cooldown time of 30 seconds, with a duration of 2 seconds, but after drinking the divine medicine, its cooldown was reduced by 90%, bringing the Silencing Zen skill down to once every 3 seconds.

However, Jiang Liu's equipment, particularly the Bright Deity Shoes at his feet, possessed a 5% skill cooldown reduction special effect.

This means that Jiang Liu's Silencing Zen skill was now triggering every 1.5 seconds, with a duration of 2 seconds…

Silencing Zen, Lotus Spell, Silencing Zen, Lotus Spell, Silencing Zen, Lotus Spell, Silencing Zen…

At this moment, Jiang Liu was alternating between using Silencing Zen and attack-type skills, constantly hurling Silencing Zen over, making Maitreya Buddha feel as if the power within him was completely confined, unable to be moved in the slightest.

"Damn it, how do I fight this battle? No wonder Randeng fled in disarray…"

Feeling the tyrannical power of the Tai Chi Diagram pressing over like Mount Tai, and realizing his own power unable to be mobilized like dead water, Maitreya Buddha cursed under his breath.

Indeed, having lived for countless years, Maitreya Buddha had experienced countless battles, but never one where his entire being's power was so utterly immobile.

This suffocating feeling, how can one fight like this?

Maitreya Buddha suddenly understood, no wonder even the Great Luo peak-level Randeng Buddha fled; in this situation, anyone would likely flee.

The health bar was dropping rapidly, and Jiang Liu once again saw hope in killing Maitreya Buddha.

Indeed, the divine medicine was truly a divine medicine, the effect was immensely powerful!

The best part was, those control-type skills were too noticeable and risked exposure, but the Silencing Zen skill is an invisible force, unseen by anyone except the person it's targeted at.

Thus, it wasn't easy to expose oneself.

If drinking a sip of the divine medicine could kill Maitreya Buddha, was it worth it?

In Jiang Liu's eyes, it was certainly very worth it!

"This time, it's only a Quasi-Saint Peak, if I kill him again, will the Buddhist Sect still try every means to resurrect him?"

"Moreover, after killing him this time, the Green Lotus Treasured Flag will return to my hands, won't it?"

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Liu felt invigorated.

Watching Maitreya Buddha's health bar decrease like a deflated balloon, anticipation grew even stronger.
