Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1429 - The power of the soul frightened Hui Chuang Buddha

For a fleeting moment, Namo Huizhuang Buddha felt like he had been scammed!

The exchange of hostages that Chu Hao proposed had always been valid!

From the very beginning, Chu Hao had planned to exchange the Green Ox Demon for Namo Huizhuang Buddha.

Now, Namo Huizhuang Buddha felt like he had been sold out by the Green Ox Demon!

However, he couldn't produce any evidence, or even if he did, what could he do? He probably wouldn't be able to get away with this today!

Run!

Only one thought remained in Namo Huizhuang Buddha's mind.

However, Chu Hao's speed was not something that Namo Huizhuang Buddha could match.

Chu Hao transformed into a golden ray, instantly blocking Namo Huizhuang Buddha's path, looking at him with a sinister smile.

"Young man, don't be so afraid. I just want to discuss the situation of your treasured banner."

"Come on, our exchange won't be in vain. As long as you obediently hand over the soul within the banner and reveal the secrets you hold, I will let you go back. How about it? Sounds like a good deal, right?"

Namo Huizhuang Buddha's face showed anger. Exchange my treasure and Xitian's secrets for my return home? Only you would say such a thing!

"I will not yield! Hell God Chu Hao, don't think you can cover the sky with one hand..." Namo Huizhuang Buddha was still thinking of calling for help.

However, he saw Chu Hao summon the Heaven-Shielding Talisman, obscuring the heavenly secrets.

Namo Huizhuang Buddha immediately felt as if he had been abandoned. Unless he was lucky enough to see someone passing by, there was no way he could be rescued.

If this were any other day, as long as he didn't bring the Green Ox Demon back to Taishang Laojun in time to report, at least someone could follow the trail to find him, perhaps even saving his life.

But now, damn it, because he used the Bodhi Mirror to shield his location, no one knew where he was, except for his enemies.

He wanted to cry.

Namo Huizhuang Buddha had truly shot himself in the foot this time!

Namo Huizhuang Buddha could only grit his teeth and stare at Chu Hao.

"Hmph! Hell God Chu Hao, don't think I'm afraid of you! Our strengths are about the same. A full-force battle would only be a fifty-fifty chance! At worst, we'll both die!"

Then, the next second, Chu Hao's aura suddenly surged, and even the God-Slaying Spear in Chu Hao's hand let out a demonic roar.

Faintly, Namo Huizhuang Buddha even saw faint blue light spots flashing on Chu Hao's body.

At this moment, Namo Huizhuang Buddha's defenses broke down!

"Soul, soul power! You, a mere Fifth-Rank Quasi-Sage, how could you possibly possess soul power? Damn it, damn it! Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Namo Huizhuang Buddha's entire mind buzzed. Soul power was something that only high-level Quasi-Sages were qualified to come into contact with.

He and many Quasi-Sages of Xitian had willingly given up the merit they could have gained along the way from several eons ago, burying their bodies in that place, just to possess soul power when they advanced to become high-level Quasi-Sages.

This soul power was extremely precious. Even among high-level Quasi-Sages, few could possess it.

Even some powerful beings, almost as strong as the leaders of sects, could not obtain soul power without special methods.

Otherwise, so many Quasi-Sage experts in the Western religion would not have been buried in that place.

But now, a Celestial Sovereign who came out of nowhere was actually displaying soul power in front of him!

Moreover, his soul power didn't seem weak at all, having reached at least the second stage.

Wasn't this too terrifying?

Namo Huizhuang Buddha's mind was buzzing at this moment, and he only felt a chill in his heart.

After fighting Chu Hao last time, he thought that the amazing thing was only the God-Slaying Spear in Chu Hao's hand, and that he could still fight if he made some adjustments.

But now, Namo Huizhuang Buddha had already lost all confidence just by seeing the terrifying soul power on Chu Hao's body.

As long as Chu Hao's layer of soul power covered his body, Namo Huizhuang Buddha would have no way to deal with Chu Hao, unless Chu Hao's soul power was completely exhausted.

Namo Huizhuang Buddha also realized that no wonder Chu Hao had been targeting him so much. It turned out that he possessed soul power and could even simply control it, so he had been eyeing the soul within his treasured banner!

Damn it, everything had been calculated!

If he had known that he would be targeted just for fighting, he should have stayed buried in the soil and never come out...

However, it was clear that Chu Hao was not giving Namo Huizhuang Buddha any chance.

"That's right, just stand there obediently."

From the God-Slaying Spear came a demonic roar, and a wild and incomparably violent demon god phantom was seen bombarding the treasured banner.

In that instant, all the defensive power of the treasured banner was useless. Even the magic weapon barrier on the entire treasured banner lost its effectiveness. The endless souls within, under the guidance of the God-Slaying Spear, were surging towards Chu Hao!

At this moment, the treasured banner was like a treasure chest, its defenses breached by the God-Slaying Spear, and the treasures within were being frantically plundered by Chu Hao.

Namo Huizhuang Buddha's eyes turned red as he watched, filled with pain. "Stop, stop it!"

However, Chu Hao was even more delighted to plunder.

The injection of soul power made Chu Hao feel an unprecedented sense of comfort in his body and mind.

Although the absorption of soul power would not add to his strength, it was a secret that only those who had reached the high-level Quasi-Sage realm could possibly glimpse.

And now, Chu Hao, with only the cultivation of a Fifth-Rank Quasi-Sage, could take the lead in obtaining this infinitely powerful ability, giving Chu Hao direct and extremely powerful control over cultivators of equal rank!

This made Chu Hao extremely happy. Although the amount was far less than the soul power Chu Hao had obtained in the abyss, it was still a treasure to some extent.

Moreover, it was a rare treasure, a powerful ability that could surpass cultivation.

As the endless soul power poured out from Namo Huizhuang Buddha's treasured banner, the expression on Namo Huizhuang Buddha's face became increasingly ugly.

Half!

A full half!

As the earliest follower of the Western religion, he had saved for a lifetime, burying himself in that soil for several eons, only to obtain this soul power of the treasured banner.

Now, half of it was being brazenly plundered by Chu Hao!

This made Namo Huizhuang Buddha feel as if his heart was bleeding!

"No, I can't let him absorb any more, otherwise wouldn't my countless eons of effort be in vain!"

Namo Huizhuang Buddha made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and did something incredible.
