Calamity Messenger

Chapter 210 - 165: Celestial Calamity Karmic Force

Prajna did not waste Pharmacist’s Wish’s efforts, seizing the opportunity to unleash a heavy rain as the Zen Staff poured into the Skull Tower like a golden river!

Under Yan Qing’s watchful gaze, the blood volume of the Skull Tower decreased only slightly, but the karmic force dropped rapidly. At the same time, the Lotus Platform beneath the Skull Tower was rapidly expanding and solidifying! Originally just an illusory Three-leaf Lotus Platform, when the heavy rain ceased, it had transformed into a Nine-leaf Golden Lotus Platform!

The Skull Tower rattled loudly, sounding like both a mournful wail and a vicious laugh. In Prajna’s nearly despairing eyes, the golden light injury on the Skull Tower, originally incurable, astonishingly began healing inch by inch!

Noticing this, Beiyou and Blood Phase’s expressions darkened. If the Nine-leaf Lotus Platform could even heal the golden light injury, then they would have no hope of breaking through the front hall.

Pharmacist’s Wish had even prepared for the worst scenario. If these people turned against her side, she would have no choice but to find a way to escape Shu Dao Mountain with Wuqiu and Shidong.

However, at that moment, the Rabbit Heroine suddenly struck the Skull Tower with her sword.

"Quick, cut it, you bald donkey, what are you daydreaming about?!" she shouted. "Haven’t you noticed we can also strike gold light? You all hold on for me!"

Prajna, as if awakening from a dream, hurriedly swung the Zen Staff towards the Skull Tower, leaving a faint golden light upon it indeed.

"Fu Xiang, you are utterly rebellious, killing your teacher and friends!"

"Fu Xiang, the righteous paths will not spare you!"

"Fu Xiang, how dare you cause trouble here!"

"Fu Xiang, stop at once, you cannot kill me!"

The dozens of skulls on the Skull Tower screamed and roared simultaneously, as if the Buddhist artifacts of the Rabbit Heroine and Prajna reminded them of scenes from years ago. Under Yan Qing’s gaze, the maximum health of the Skull Tower continuously decreased, but at the same time, its karmic force increased rapidly.

With Yan Qing’s extensive experience as a solo Brahma, the Skull Tower should now be in a "defense break" state, where damage from Buddhist artifacts reduced its maximum life. Regardless, the Lotus Platform’s recovery capabilities were terrifying. However, once the karmic force was completely restored, the Skull Tower would lock its health again, and based on the Nine-leaf Lotus Platform’s recovery capability, it could likely completely restore its health.

If they didn’t destroy the Skull Tower now, next time they would have to reduce the karmic force to zero again and also deal with a full-health Skull Tower!

The screams and roars from the Skull Tower also changed the zombies’ and demons’ enmity, abandoning their current targets in favor of attacking Prajna and the Rabbit Heroine. Despite the others intercepting repeatedly, Prajna still took several hits, wobbling under the onslaught, while the Rabbit Heroine was unscathed, effortlessly evading attacks, which was no burden to Yan Qing.

The karmic force of the Skull Tower resumed to 80, 85, 90, 95, 98—

"Fu Xiang, I curse you to never reincarnate!"

With a venomous curse, the Lotus Platform of the Skull Tower completely disintegrated, itself bursting into countless bone fragments. The remaining six zombies and demons instantly froze, gradually turning into a pile of yellow earth, merging into the ground.

Two gleaming rewards appeared where the Skull Tower once stood. Seeing that no one else paid them any mind, the Rabbit Heroine straightforwardly went over to pick them up.

"You have released an Eternal Sinner."

"Based on your level and contribution, you absorbed 1 point of Celestial Calamity Karmic Force. Click to view detailed information."

"You have triggered a Catastrophe Milestone!"

"You have comprehended Secret Technique: Left Curve and Right Return, currently at level 5."

"Your Qi Blood increased by 3.2."

"Your Divine Soul increased by 2.4."

"Your Agility increased by 3.2."

"You have leveled up to level 24!"

This small character finally comprehended the Secret Technique, and at level 5 upon comprehension, even the Rabbit Heroine leveled up by 4 levels. Indeed, the experience from fighting demons is abundant, far superior to killing humans for leveling up.

The five stood in the empty front hall, the sounds of battle had completely ceased, and they took a long time to come to themselves.

Psssh!

A sound reminiscent of a burst pipeline continuously came from Prajna’s body. As the Rabbit Heroine turned her head to look, he was already half-kneeling on the ground, blood gushing, with all his exposed muscles showing obvious tears, looking as if he had been terribly ripped apart like a hand-torn chicken.

Beiyou and Blood Phase were unsurprised as Prajna took out a Blood Replenishing Pill to consume, smiling wryly, "It’s an old ailment, this monk can only use heavy rain three times a day at most, leading inevitably to muscle tears, but fortunately, the organs remain unharmed. I heard that the Donor Rabbit today has wielded heavy rain almost ten times without any effect on the body, truly unmatched by this monk."

No wonder Prajna said this would be the last attempt tonight, as after this, he would be completely out of combat strength.

Yan Qing felt a stirring in her heart; Beiyou’s words weren’t false—they were indeed good friends. Prajna dared to expose his weakness before them, believing that Beiyou and Blood Phase would protect him.

When Yan Qing returned to her senses, she saw Pharmacist’s Wish anxiously squatting in front of the Rabbit Heroine.

"Are you okay, sister? Here, have a Blood Replenishing Pill."

Pharmacist’s Wish had also heard of the Heavy Rain Messenger’s unique characteristics but hadn’t investigated much, and given the Rabbit Heroine has never shown weakness, she didn’t think much of it. But considering even a Great Guardian like Prajna could wield heavy rain only three times a day, one can only imagine the severe toll it takes on the body.

"No need." The Rabbit Heroine declined. "Heavy rain has no effect on me."

"How can you be sure? What if there are internal injuries?"

"My brother said so, he said I am one in a million with a slayer’s holy body and possess the Venerable Bone. How could mere rain harm me?"

"Your brother is an idiot."

Suddenly, Blood Phase laughed wildly, laughing hysterically and recklessly.

"Finally broke through the front hall, finally there’s hope!" he shouted. "Prajna, I told you I was right, we should have used the Buddhist artifact long ago!"

"Hey, hey, hey, uncle, have some shame. Obviously, I was the one who suggested it first," the Rabbit Heroine retorted, annoyed. "Why are you bragging about yourself after the fact?"

Blood Phase cursed, "Bullshit, I’ve thought that way for ten years, you brat were just suitable by chance! Even without you, we could’ve broken through the front hall!"

The Rabbit Heroine, sarcastic, "Then why didn’t you do it before? You didn’t want to?"

Pharmacist’s Wish sat on the ground, hugging the Soul-Breaking Spear, absorbing the Spiritual Jade to restore spiritual power. She felt as if she had returned to the Military Town, conquering the Secret Realm, and during the breaks in the battles, she would banter with the soldiers, with the difference in identity and status nearly fused transparent in the Secret Realm. Everyone’s first impression of each other was that of comrades-in-arms.

That’s why she could escape from the Military Town... Even though the Commander had received news ahead of time to blockade the town, the Brocade Guard’s messages still got through with the help of Pharmacist’s Wish’s comrades. Confronting the supreme imperial power, the influential ones dared not betray and could only try to ease the path for Pharmacist’s Wish.

The Secret Realm is such a magical place that it melds together different people into a mutually recognized whole.

"Hey." Beiyou, standing at the front hall’s courtyard gate, suddenly called out:

"I think I see a treasure chest."

These words instantly changed everyone’s gaze, including Pharmacist’s Wish.

All outcomes of a group are headed towards division.
