chapter 395 part 2
The faint blue light on the surface of the "Orb of Death" in Tang Zheng's hand had dissipated, its internal magic power completely depleted.
Not only that! The shadow clone's magic power was also completely depleted.
"Still 25% of his health left."
Tang Zheng let out a breath and looked at the health bar above the Growth Heavenly King's head, his gaze growing ever brighter.
"The shadow clone's cooldown is up. Let's continue!"
The one-hour skill cooldown had reset. Dispelling the current shadow clone, Tang Zheng once again activated "Ninja: Shadow Clone Technique."
The shadow writhed, and the shadow clone reappeared!
"Magic power depleted, special skill used, and even the stored magic power in the item is gone."
Tang Zheng muttered to himself, letting out a cold laugh, his gaze as sharp as a blade.
"However!"
"I'm no ordinary magic caster. The rule that magic power is a spellcaster's lifeline doesn't apply to me!"
"Experience-Based Casting—Chain Water Dragon!"
The passive ability activated!
350,000 experience points transformed into magic power, condensing before Tang Zheng into a surging water dragon that roared as it charged toward the Growth Heavenly King.
Fighting by consuming experience was one of his last resorts. Even though Tang Zheng felt the sting of the loss, he had no other choice.
Only one Heavenly King remained. This was no time to be stingy with experience!
The battle continued!
Tang Zheng turned into a magical turret, continuously unleashing 7th Tier magic alongside his shadow clone, grinding the Growth Heavenly King's health bar down to 20%.
*Bang!*
A golden light imbued with a Buddha-nature surged from the Growth Heavenly King's body. The faint sound of a wooden fish being struck and the whisper of Sanskrit chants filled the air.
"Shatter your profane views to witness the Tathagata!"
The red light on the Growth Heavenly King's body grew more intense. His purple-gold armor looked as if it had been dyed with fresh blood, like the final counterattack of a dying beast. He boomed in a voice filled with majesty.
*Fwoosh~*
In addition to the tiger and eagle aspects, a new totem—the deer aspect—appeared above the Growth Heavenly King's head.
"A third form? A new ability?" Tang Zheng whispered, narrowing his sharp eyes.
This time, Tang Zheng didn't attack immediately, choosing to observe instead. He quickly discovered that the Growth Heavenly King was still unable to stop his "Teleportation" magic.
"Tch, a waste of time."
Tang Zheng clicked his tongue and grumbled, once again employing his tactics of teleporting and attacking with magic.
Under the sky shrouded in gilded radiance, there was only Tang Zheng and his shadow clone, continuously flickering and moving, and the Growth Heavenly King chasing them all over.
If the Growth Heavenly King possessed wisdom or were a player, he probably would have smashed his keyboard in rage long ago over Tang Zheng's shameless fighting style!
Time passed, second by second.
In the end, Tang Zheng couldn't even be bothered to calculate how long the grueling battle had lasted. He only knew that he had summoned his shadow clone twice more.
The magic power of the third summoned shadow clone had also completely bottomed out.
[Experience Bar: 48,500,000 → 38,150,000 / 1,880,000]
He had consumed over ten million experience points!
As the final magical attack landed, the Growth Heavenly King's health dropped to 0%. The red light that flowed over his body like blood and the wrathful expression on his face completely dissipated in that instant.
Buddha-nature, Compassion, Majesty!
Three unique auras emanated from the Growth Heavenly King, whose expression was now as calm as still water.
"Wisdom Sword Smashes Folly."
The Growth Heavenly King floated in mid-air. The flames on the greatsword in his hand went out. He sheathed it, held it in the crook of his arms, and placed his palms together before his chest, looking deeply at Tang Zheng.
For a fleeting moment, Tang Zheng thought he sensed a trace of resentment and helplessness in the Growth Heavenly King's gaze, but it vanished in an instant, as if it had been a mere illusion.
The gilded radiance in the sky above suddenly grew a shade brighter!
"With the sword of Wisdom, slay the thief of vexations. May your heart be like a Vajra, and may you always abide in Right Mindfulness."
The Growth Heavenly King nodded slightly. Just as the Vast Eye Heavenly King had, his entire body shattered into fragments and blended into this alternate dimension.
Seeing this, Tang Zheng let out a huge sigh of relief, his face showing a mixture of exhaustion and joy. "I won!"
Such an intense and prolonged battle! This was a situation Tang Zheng had never encountered before. Even though his HP was still full, the fatigue from the high-intensity combat and strained nerves couldn't be expressed by numbers.
"The Four Heavenly Kings have all been eliminated. What happens next?"
Tang Zheng raised his head, his excitement at finally obtaining his first World Item difficult to suppress.
The empty, golden alternate dimension stretched out before him.
Nothing happened.
*Thump—*
A sound like a beating heart rang out. Before Tang Zheng could determine which direction the sound came from, he suddenly felt a strong repulsive force wash over his entire body.
It felt like diving into the depths of the sea, his entire body filled with pressure. But the pressure wasn't intense; on the contrary, it was gentle.
A flash of golden light.
After a momentary daze, Tang Zheng's vision cleared, and he found that he had been moved out of the alternate dimension and was now standing in the center of Council Hill.
The moon was bright and the stars were few.
Under the night sky, a cool breeze blew in from the distant Great Grassland, making the grass rustle and sway.
As the cool wind blew over him, much of Tang Zheng's mental fatigue dissipated. He looked up at the night sky and muttered to himself, "It's already nighttime."
He remembered entering the alternate dimension around noon!
The important thing now was...
Tang Zheng looked ahead. Faint golden ripples began to spread through the empty air, like a pebble dropped into water.
However, the golden ripples didn't spread outward from the center; instead, they contracted inward from the edges.
Although it emitted a golden light, which should have been exceptionally conspicuous at night, the light was confined to a small area.
It was as if it were behind a space membrane, unobservable from the outside.
*Shhh—!*
The golden light suddenly converged.
An object the size of a normal magic scroll materialized in mid-air! It was square, made of a material like ancient silk, resembling an enlarged, square handkerchief.
Tang Zheng's pupils constricted, his gaze completely captivated. Just as he was about to move, the square, five-colored scroll became a streak of golden light and landed in his palm.
The moment it made contact, Tang Zheng suppressed his excitement, though his palm trembled uncontrollably. He cast the magic, "Item Appraisal."
The magic was dispelled!
"Item Appraisal" was completely unable to view any information about the World Item. Instead, the World Item in his hand automatically fed the information directly into Tang Zheng's mind.
"[Mandala of Two Realms]!"
Tang Zheng perceived the information in his mind, a smile spreading across his face as he slowly uttered the name.
He carefully examined the [Mandala of Two Realms] in his hand. It was almost weightless, very thin, and looked like a square scroll.
The front was divided into a three-by-three grid, containing nine square frames. In Tang Zheng's cognition, this seemed to signify the "Nine Assemblies."
The center of the reverse side featured a large lotus pattern, or one might call it a lotus pedestal, signifying the "Lotus Womb Burial." It was surrounded by scattered, empty, circular frames.
"Strange."
Tang Zheng whispered suddenly as he looked at the World Item, the [Mandala of Two Realms].
In his previous life, he had seen illustrations of the Mandala of Two Realms online and the image had left a deep impression. The World Item before him was remarkably similar to it.
However, on both the front and back illustrations, all the spaces where figures of Buddhas should have been were completely blank.
