Versatile Mage - Chapter 2687
Chapter 2687: Buddha Zhao
“I can’t stop the Blood Galaxy from collapsing even if I drain all of my energy!” Zhao Manyan said despairingly.
There was a huge gap between his and Zhao Jing’s cultivation, after all. Besides, Zhao Jing’s Plant Element magic was extremely weird. Zhao Manyan had no idea how Zhao Jing got hold of a demonic seed. The seed was so powerful that it could shake the entire plane of stardust. If that happened, no one would be able to withstand a stardust avalanche.
“I will help you,” said Xinxia.
“Are you able to stop it?” asked Zhao Manyan.
Xinxia shook her head. “I have a strong magical amplification power, but I lack magical defense power. This is the Golden Brilliant Charm. It will triple your magical defense. I can also grant you four other blessings so that your four elements of magical power can increase radically at least by half.”

Zhao Manyan’s jaw dropped at the offer. “I am not very good at math. Can anyone tell me by how much my powers will increase if she does that?”
“Cut the f*cking crap and go up there now!” said Mu Bai and pushed Zhao Manyan forward.
When Zhao Manyan saw the Golden Brilliant Charm, it looked like a small sunflower gleaming in the light. It exuded a feeling of fulfillment. He possessed a lot of magical defense power. The increase in the level of power of the Seal of Hegemony and Water Christ Beads would enhance his magical defenses to a certain extent. Zhao Manyan drew a long breath as he looked up at the destructive Blood Galaxy above him.
“It’s time for all of you to witness my power!” Zhao Manyan cried out trying to convince himself more than anyone else present. He had used those lines while flirting with ladies from foreign lands. He thought it was appropriate for such an occasion as this, too.
The five elders blocked Mo Fan. Mo Fan was getting increasingly worried at the growth of the demonic tree. He was not afraid of Zhao Jing. He would only suffer some minor injury and scratches if he had to fight Zhao Jing. But he was worried that Zhao Jing intended to target not only him but the whole mountain.
Zhao Jing’s magical power encompassed the entire Fanxue Mountain, including the members of the mountain. Once the galaxy fell, at least half of the Fanxue Mountain elites would be killed. The disappearing Star Charm that Xinxia had cast on the members to protect them won’t be able to withstand the fall of the galaxy.
The five elders realized this. No matter how aggressively Mo Fan launched his flames, they diffused his attacks. The elder mages had their unique spells which they used now.
It did not take long for the Evil Tree to grow into Tiandi Demonic Star Tree. The small branches on the crown of the tree touched the Blood Galaxy. As it did, the tree began to shake. The earth shook and a layer of rocks began to shatter.
The destruction was just beginning. Soon, the Blood Galaxy would collapse. The galaxy itself was made up of large destructive meteors from an unknown plane. Zhao Jing had the ability to transport them to this world through the demonic tree.
Swarms of meteors fell once again. These had flaming tails and illuminated fronts. The flames on their tail faded and were replaced by a Star Line that hung as densely as the rain over Fanxue Mountain.
The people in the mountain were already trying hard to survive the impact of the meteors from a while back. They couldn’t make it if the entire Blood Galaxy collapsed! Fanxue Mountain at that moment appeared as small as a grain of sand.
Mo Fan looked up. He felt helpless. He did not have any magical power that could prevent the Blood Galaxy from falling on their heads. He could not even stop the destructive meteors. Fanxue Mountain will be covered with corpses at this rate.
Buzz…
A golden sculpture-like body charged to the peak of Fanxue Mountain. His entire body glowed like Christ. He looked divine and extraordinary!
“Old Zhao?” Mo Man was puzzled.

Mo Fan knew the bitter truth that Zhao Manyan could not stop the Blood Galaxy from collapsing. Nobody could. However, at the moment he looked different from his laid-back self. He charged forward and raised his hands as if he was going to hold the sky with his bare hands. The golden light shone even more brightly. A massive golden armor that resembled a tortoise shell appeared hundreds of feet above him.
What had looked like an illusion, now turned into solid gold. Zhao Manyan’s magical defense looked like a gigantic tortoise arching its back providing a thick layer of protection to those below.
The collapse of the Blood Galaxy and the falling meteors would have destroyed even the Xuexin City. But the golden tortoise shell was like a huge umbrella that deflected the meteors and protected the entirety of Fanxue Mountain. They were safe as long as they were under the huge ‘umbrella’.
“It’s the Golden Christ!” one of the Fanxue Mountain elites, Zhong Li, cried out. He wanted to kneel on the ground and worship the Golden Christ.
Everyone had almost given up and had been ready to leave it up to their fates to face the imminent disaster. No one had expected a figure to stand Christ-like and provide them protection with the golden tortoise shell-like armor and save them. For a moment, the Blood Galaxy reflecting off the armor looked like fireworks. They were gorgeous and, thankfully, harmless.
“It’s Zhao Manyan…” Bai Hongfei, Shao Yu, and the rest of their group looked in disbelief as they recognized the elderly monk glowing in golden light.
“It’s Buddha Zhao!”

“Buddha Zhao!”
He saved them from mass destruction. They had been so sure that death was imminent at the fall of the Blood Galaxy. But this person with a calm and compassionate face had appeared, glowing golden, and saved them all from their demise. He truly was a living Christ!
“I’m Zhao Manyan!” Zhao Manyan was puzzled at the crowd calling him Christ all of a sudden. “Fine! I’m Buddha Zhao!” He began to be known as Buddha Zhao after that. He acknowledged that there was nothing wrong with the name. He wore a cross and saved them all, after all. Just like Jesus Christ.

“Everyone, don’t worry! As long as I’m here, I won’t let the fall of the Blood Galaxy hurt you. Now, kill them all! Let them be aware that Fanxue Mountain is a ghost gate that can only be entered after death. It’s a one-way ticket!” Zhao Manyan shouted at them hoping to boost their morale.
“One-way ticket. Kill them all!”
“One-way ticket!”
Now that they were provided with protection against death for the time being, the elites gathered their courage and charged. They formed a framework of Star Pattern and Star Constellation, and launched another wave of magical attack at the opposing mage group.
