Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely Chapter 2035 - 1082: Middle Ages (Part 2)
Previously on Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely...
When the raging torrents of history's river churn with excessive fury, they threaten to profoundly reshape the destiny ahead. Lacking the Other Shore's intervention to halt this overwhelming surge, it could spell doom for all sentient beings.
Hence, syncing with the historical flow and pursuing key objectives becomes entirely feasible...
Meanwhile, Meng Qi alongside fellow Dharma Bodies grasp the tangled complexities of their predicament and launch proactive efforts for salvation.
The second pact struck between Meng Qi and Lu Ya involves relaying a message to the Green Emperor at 'the top layer of the Nine Heavens'!
"The earlier intervener must have been the Green Emperor. Regrettably, the three-way conflict hurled us into the Middle Ages before any conversation could happen."
Having grasped their present circumstances, Meng Qi felt a momentary daze, yet memories stirred within him.
Moonlight Bodhisattva, the Green Emperor's manifestation in the Buddhist Sect beneath the Medicine King Buddha, hasn't perished amid the Demon Buddha's turmoil yet.
This form likely bears the legacy of the Medicine King Buddha's Glazed Pure Land, endowed with omnipresent qualities.
"This..."
Meng Qi paused for a second, though he held deep respect for the Medicine King Buddha's followers. They rarely acted first, but shielded him on numerous occasions.
"I wonder whether I can alter Moonlight Bodhisattva's fate..."
Meng Qi let out a sigh.
Purely weighing gains against dangers, tampering with the past via this incursion might not hold up under scrutiny, but certain matters gnaw at his heart if left untouched.
"That's enough, enough."
In the end, Meng Qi shut his eyes. Through Yang Jian, he'd come to know his origins as the fruit of The Three Pure Ones' subtraction in pursuit of void.
What's more, he'd aided every one of the three.
At the outset, The Three Pure Ones each schemed their separate paths, breeding strife that let Other Shore foes exploit the chaos.
Yuanshi Tianzun's initial subtraction for void birthed the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong. Meng Qi realizes he may surpass prior iterations in perfection.
"If escape proves impossible, a price must be extracted."
Should achievement crown him through this surge, the debt stands settled.
"Moonlight Bodhisattva..."
Meng Qi murmured the name repeatedly in silence, as his surroundings shifted dramatically, transporting him straight into the Glazed Pure Land.
"The benefactor bears a peculiar aura from the Sea of Suffering, as if hailing from another time."
Moonlight Bodhisattva pierced Meng Qi's background the instant their eyes met.
"Bodhisattva, I truly hail from a future era..."
...
As Meng Qi conferred with Moonlight Bodhisattva inside the Glazed Pure Land, Tao Yu roamed the Middle Ages, challenging the sages in discourse.
Though Tao Yu's cultivation span lags behind many philosophers, his vantage soars extraordinarily high, striking at the core of countless dilemmas. He dominates debates in their chosen fields from the Middle Ages era, overwhelming them via sheer conceptual purity!
"With Demon Buddha originating from the Other Shore, such world-shaping births defy alteration. Truly, thwarting the idiotic assault on the Overlord proves arduous."
Fresh from his clash with Heart Saint—which sparked the latter's abrupt epiphany and withdrawal—Tao Yu pressed onward to Jiangdong.
While the incident itself can't be averted, its outcomes amid the chaos can be wrenched into reversal.
Though finer divinations might elude him compared to Other Shore masters, Tao Yu wields blunt, primal techniques to compel the turnaround.
Upon reaching Jiangdong and nearing the Wang family along with Numerical Saints, a sudden ripple jolted Tao Yu as he crossed into the city.
"Oh? Demon Emperor Claw?"
Tao Yu arched his brows faintly. As a Supreme Divine Weapon, the Demon Emperor Claw boasts singularity spanning past, present, and future. Since Tao Yu supplanted the Dark Lord in its mastery, no location or wielder severs their bond.
Provided no Demon Emperor Claw collides with another, this Supreme Divine Weapon manifests dually anywhere, thanks to its omnipresence.
"Successor of Demon Emperor Claw?"
In truth, the Overlord Demon Lord perpetually dominated the Demon Emperor Claw, treating every 'successor' as the Dark Lord's test dummies.
"This one's 'Supreme Heavenly Demon' Wu Daoming? Hmm, the fool smashed into submission by the Overlord..."
Being a Supreme Divine Weapon too, the Demon Emperor Claw hints at Wu Daoming's latent gifts, perhaps sensing the Dark Lord's grip and yearning to shatter it.
Yet the Overlord's abrupt rise reduces him to mere scenery.
This stirs a faint curiosity in Tao Yu.
His substitution lacks the seamless finesse of Other Shore arts; from future timelines alone, the Dark Lord morphs into his extension.
In this age, the Dark Lord lingers 'alive' in a veiled watchfulness.
"'Dark Lord' requires no double execution, merely safeguards against glitches."
Tao Yu pinpointed the 'Demon Emperor Claw's position and veered path instantly, hurtling to Wu Daoming's hidden lair...
...
Wu Daoming harbors unique prowess too, drawing from the Demon Emperor Claw to grasp the Demon Emperor Nine Transformations and renew himself cyclically. Each renewal boosts his strength and cultivation level further!
No lone philosopher of this era, save the Overlord, can match him solo.
Still, the sages redoubled their assault on this Supreme Heavenly Demon. The Jiangdong Wang clan's forebear, Numerical Saints, divined his renewal cycle and now hunts him relentlessly.
Yet the 'Demon Emperor Claw' excels at foul concealment of Heavenly Secret. Even with River Map and Luo Book's aid, Numerical Saints grasps only vague ranges, failing to nail the exact spot.
