Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 605: Unsealing Charm (Epic Level)

To speak of it, at this time, with the Drought Demon being sealed, it seemed best to exterminate it.

However, the presence of these chains and the Buddhist Sutra not only confined the Drought Demon but also appeared to protect it in a way.

To exterminate the Drought Demon, one must first break these chains and suppress the Buddhist Sutra.

Initially, the Buddhist Sutra on Five Elements Mountain could be removed by Sun Wukong himself.

What about the one on the Drought Demon then?

Jiang Liu reached out, and his palm touched the Buddhist Sutra on the Drought Demon's forehead.

However, when trying to remove it, Jiang Liu found that the Sutra, which seemed like a mere sheet of paper, was heavier than Mount Tai. His strength increased, yet he could not budge it at all.

"As expected..." After trying for a moment, Jiang Liu sighed inwardly, unable to remove the Sutra.

"Master, you can't remove it either?" Seeing Jiang Liu's fruitless efforts, Sun Wukong's expression changed slightly as he spoke.

The terrifying nature of the Buddhist Sutra was something Sun Wukong knew too well from being suppressed for five hundred years; if the master couldn't remove it, what chance did he have?

"Let's try another method!"

Since it could not be removed, naturally another method must be thought of. After pondering for a moment internally, Jiang Liu pointed gently at the Drought Demon.

At the same time, he uttered in a low voice from within: Dispel Curse!

Dispel Curse was a skill that eliminated all control states.

As the skill was cast on the Drought Demon, Jiang Liu could see the golden Buddhist text chains binding the demon began to shake, flickered a few times, and then faded.

Soon after, all these chains on the Drought Demon loosened, scattered on the ground.

Eventually, they turned to ash and vanished.

As these chains were undone, the body of the Drought Demon also quivered slightly.

At the same time, Jiang Liu could feel the Drought Demon's fingers moving and a faint growling coming from its mouth.

However, the Buddhist Sutra on the Drought Demon's forehead, with six Mantra characters, flashed for a moment.

Following that, the Drought Demon returned to calmness, suppressed once more.

"This Dispel Curse, it can't lift the suppression of the Buddhist Sutra?"

Being capable of undoing the chains but ineffective against the Sutra made Jiang Liu frown slightly.

However, thinking it over, the Buddhist Sutra was personally written by Tathagata, a Quasi-Saint level existence who had realized some law-type abilities. It seemed reasonable that his own Dispel Curse had no effect on Tathagata's Buddhist Sutra?

Sun Wukong, gripping his Golden Hoop Stick tightly, originally saw the chains being undone and the Drought Demon's fingers moving; he thought a fight was imminent. Yet, the Buddhist Sutra of that damned Tathagata was still affixed to the Drought Demon's forehead, suppressing it.

"It seems the last resort is the only option left!" After sighing internally, Jiang Liu said somewhat helplessly.

Mentally uttering "Marketplace", the marketplace interface immediately opened by Jiang Liu.

Then, in the functionality items section of the marketplace, Jiang Liu found what he was looking for.

Unsealing Charm (Legendary Level): Consumable, can unseal the sealing effect of Legendary Level equipment and items, price 100,000 taels.

Unsealing Charm (Epic Level): Consumable, can unseal the sealing effect of Epic Level equipment and items, price 600,000 taels.

Unsealing Charm (Divine Level): Consumable, can unseal the sealing effect of Divine Level equipment and items, price 1,500,000 taels.

The Unsealing Charms were divided into several types, the higher the type, the higher the price. The last Divine level Unsealing Charm costing a hefty 1.5 million taels, which could otherwise buy a Primordial Golden Dou.

Treasures like the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife and Seven-Arrow Nail Book were priced only around 2 million.

So, Jiang Liu thought that the Buddhist Sutra on the Drought Demon most likely did not reach the Divine level.

Therefore, Jiang Liu directly purchased one Epic Level Unsealing Charm.

600,000 taels of money were instantly consumed; then, Jiang Liu took out the Unsealing Charm that appeared in his package.

"What is this treasure?"

Seeing the talisman that Jiang Liu took out, Sun Wukong and the others looked on curiously.

"This cost 600,000 taels; it should be sufficient!" Muttering inwardly with a pain in his heart, Jiang Liu then threw the Epic Level Unsealing Charm out.

600,000 taels spent to kill a Drought Demon—a hybrid of half-life and half-treasure existence—was it worth it?

In Jiang Liu's view, it was indeed worth it.

But the premise was that he truly needed to exterminate the Drought Demon; otherwise, it would turn out to be a losing deal.

As the Unsealing Charm flew out, a misty light flashed, and immediately, the Buddhist Sutra stuck on the Drought Demon's forehead immediately vanished into thin air.

Boom!

As the Buddhist Sutra on the Drought Demon's forehead disappeared, a terrifying malevolence erupted from the body of the Drought Demon, creating a fearsome storm.

"Wukong! Attack!"

Seeing the effect of the Epic Level Unsealing Charm, Jiang Liu's heart tightened, and he shouted to Sun Wukong.

If they could exterminate the Drought Demon before Master Zhenyuan arrived, it would be better than ever.

Yet, if not, the arrival of Master Zhenyuan would be his second line of defense.

After all, with Master Zhenyuan's Quasi-Saint cultivation, exterminating the Drought Demon should be no problem.

As Jiang Liu finished speaking, Sun Wukong reacted swiftly. While the Drought Demon had not fully awakened yet, he raised his Golden Hoop Stick high.

Then, he fiercely slammed it down on the head of the Drought Demon.

With a loud "duang" sound!

The immense noise caused the entire earth to tremble as Sun Wukong's Golden Hoop fiercely struck the Drought Demon's forehead.

That feeling was like a iron stick smashing against a thick steel plate.

The Drought Demon had not yet fully awakened, and its head could actually withstand a hit from Sun Wukong!?

How terrifying...

Seeing this scene, Jiang Liu and Zhu Bajie beside him, all gasped in cold air, incredulous.

To withstand Sun Wukong's strike with physical strength alone?

How strong was the Drought Demon's physical defense?

"The Drought Demon, is this the Drought Demon? It is indeed terrifying!" Although Zhu Bajie had already formed a concept in his mind, seeing it with his own eyes still made his heart palpitate.

"Cultivated from the body of a member of the Witch Clan, it really is terrifying. During ancient times, the reason the clan of Witches and Demons could suppress the Primordial Continent does make sense!" Seeing that Sun Wukong's attack on the head had no effect, Jiang Liu also felt a shock in his heart.

Sun Wukong was now at the cultivation level of a Daluo Golden Immortal and his Golden Hoop had been strengthened to level 75.

"What a tough head! Even tougher than my, Old Sun's, iron skull and brain!" Feeling the rebounding force from the Golden Hoop, even Sun Wukong marveled inwardly.

Carrying the Vajra Indestructible Body, Sun Wukong had always been the one using his body to withstand others' attacks, then looking at their shocked expressions.

He hadn't expected to be on the receiving end today.

His thoughts were swift, but so were Sun Wukong's reactions, and he immediately lifted his Golden Hoop again.

Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra!

Strengthening Body-Protection Spell!

Weakness Talisman!

Jiang Liu reacted quickly too, brushing Sun Wukong with two Buffs, and then casting a Weakness Talisman skill towards the Drought Demon, reducing all its attributes collectively.

With a swoosh!

Under the principle of giving and taking, Sun Wukong's Golden Hoop fell down again, the force three times stronger than before.

Snap!

This time, the Golden Hoop didn't hit the Drought Demon's head, but the Drought Demon, with its eyes closed, lifted its hand by itself.

Its skinny palm actually firmly caught the Golden Hoop.

Slowly, the Drought Demon opened its eyes.

There was no differentiation between the pupils and the whites, revealing eyes as black as ink, profoundly terrifying to behold.

Roar!

Like a wild beast, holding the Golden Hoop in hand, the Drought Demon let out a fierce roar.

Then, its wrist twisted.

Sun Wukong only felt an indescribable powerful force surging, his monkey hand loosened, and suddenly, the Golden Hoop was in the hands of the Drought Demon.

Easily snatching the Golden Hoop from Sun Wukong's hand, the Drought Demon swung it back at Sun Wukong.

However, its attack missed, and its hand was empty.

Looking down at its own palm, the Drought Demon saw that the Golden Hoop wasn't there anymore; it had returned to Sun Wukong's hand.

"This guy, not only does he have terrifyingly high physical defense, but his strength is also shockingly great!" Sun Wukong took a couple of steps back, holding the Golden Hoop in his hand, shocked inwardly.

He was also somewhat relieved; fortunately, his master had bound the Golden Hoop to his soul back then, so he could call it back at any time.

Otherwise, just now, he would have lost his Golden Hoop.

"Bajie, Wujing, act now..."

Sensing the fight between Sun Wukong and the Drought Demon escalating, Jiang Liu shouted out loud.

Also aware of how formidable the Drought Demon was, neither Zhu Bajie nor Sha Wujing watched idly. With the Supreme Treasure Golden Rake and the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade glowing, they both launched attacks towards the Drought Demon.

The Drought Demon was unharmed after being struck on the head by the Nine-Toothed Rake; sparks flew everywhere!

When slashed on the back with the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, it was like a kitchen knife chopping on an iron board, leaving behind only a shallow imprint; the Drought Demon remained lively and unharmed.

The Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra and Strengthening Body-Protection Spell both lasted for 300 seconds, but their cooldown was only 60 seconds.

Therefore, after a short while, Jiang Liu applied the Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra and Strengthening Body-Protection Spell skills respectively on Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.

Clang clang clang...

The Drought Demon had no Dharma Treasure or weapon, but its own body was its most powerful weapon.

In the battle, it fought one against three without falling into a disadvantage, even pushing Sun Wukong and the others back.

The Drought Demon didn't possess Divine Spells; it only had two notable characteristics.

First: great strength.

Second, high physical defense.
