I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Before anyone could utter the word "monster," Skadi's magic mirror immediately shone on Fang Xuanling, and a ferocious phantom of a giant lion appeared behind him.

Then, the light from Skadi's magic mirror enveloped everyone in the court except Li Shimin, and behind each person appeared the phantoms of various monsters.

All the officials and generals in the court were dumbfounded, staring at each other with wide eyes at the monstrous phantom behind each other.

You might want to say the other party is a monster, but there's a demonic shadow behind you too, so what else can you say?

Nine Palaces Master's expression twisted. Skadi's move was truly brilliant, breaking through her scheme in an instant.

Li Shimin's eyes twitched involuntarily; he naturally knew what Skadi meant.

I suspect there's something wrong with your "demon-revealing mirror." Look, my mirror can also reveal other people's "true colors." Isn't that interesting?

Li Shimin would never believe that everyone in the imperial court was a monster.

After all, many ministers and generals had fought alongside him to conquer the country. He trusted that his ministers and subordinates would rebel, but he didn't believe they were monsters.

At this moment, the ministers and generals who had come to their senses narrowed their eyes and looked at the Nine Palaces True Person and the 'Demon-Revealing Mirror' in her hand with suspicious eyes.

The Demon-Revealing Mirror is a magical mirror that can reveal the true forms of demons and monsters.

But it seems to have other uses as well. In the past, some people could call a deer a horse, and now it's not impossible for someone to call a person a demon.

"Hey, you wicked devil who spreads heresy, reveal your true form!"

Just as Master Jiugong was at a loss for words, Skadi sneered, then righteously rebuked Master Jiugong, and the treasure mirror floating in front of her suddenly focused its light on Master Jiugong.

As a magnetic field expert with exceptional skill in learning and stealing techniques, Skadi had already analyzed the light that had just caused her to 'reveal' herself.

Therefore, he used his own mantra power to simulate and create a similar power, and taking advantage of the moment when the Nine Palaces True Man was off guard, he used it directly on the opponent.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

In an instant, flames also ignited on the body of the Nine Palaces True Person, and she also let out a scream. However, her scream was immediately transformed into the piercing screech of a bird in the golden light shone by Skadi's Demon-Revealing Mirror.

Then, to everyone's horror, the Nine Palaces Master suddenly transformed into a golden eagle with nine heads.

"You audacious fiend! You dare to disguise yourself as a human to deceive the current emperor! Your intentions are despicable! Protect His Majesty!"

Before anyone could scream in alarm, Skadi, mimicking the way the Nine Palaces Immortal had smeared her and framed her, rebuked the nine-headed golden eagle with a righteous and stern expression.

Then, with a swift movement, before the nine-headed golden eagle could react, he grabbed its talons tightly and swung it out of the palace.

Skadi turned to look at Li Shimin, who was staring blankly, and said seriously:

"Your Majesty, I am going to subdue that hairy beast who has bewitched you. Please take good care of your health."

Having said that, he transformed into a beam of light and shot straight out of the palace, disappearing from Li Shimin and his ministers' sight.

"Huh? Oh..."

Li Shimin looked completely stunned, as if he couldn't react. The fact that the Nine Palaces Immortal had suddenly transformed into a nine-headed golden eagle under Skadi's demon-revealing mirror had startled him. But before the other party could do anything after revealing his true form, Skadi threw him away.

It was only when Skadi told him to take care that he realized what was happening.

Meanwhile, the nine-headed golden eagle, which had been thrown out of the palace, finally managed to regain its footing under Skadi's immense strength. Just then, a devastating fist appeared before her eyes, accompanied by someone's cold, mocking words.

"You hairy, wet-born, egg-laying beast, I'll blast your mother to death!"

Magnetic field rotation, 999,999 horsepower of power, Sea Tiger Explosive Fist!!!

Caught off guard and unable to dodge in time, the nine-headed golden eagle was struck in the head by this vicious punch, the powerful explosive force blasting all three of its heads apart.

"Wow!!!"

A bloodcurdling scream echoed through the sky, accompanied by the furious and venomous roars of a nine-headed golden eagle:

"You vile woman, I'll kill you!!!"

Accompanied by the roar of the nine-headed golden eagle, an incomparably powerful force erupted like a tidal wave, sweeping across the entire sky and repelling all the clouds within a hundred miles.

108,000 swords!

The nine-headed golden eagle suddenly flapped its wings, using its supernatural powers. With the flapping of its wings, countless golden slashes that seemed to tear the sky and split the earth were aimed at Skadi.

Magnetic field rotation - the hand of God!

Faced with the barrage of golden light slashing through the air, Skadi raised her hand and unleashed a diffuse burst of magnetic field power, seizing and controlling the flow of power from the nine-headed golden eagle.

The dense golden sword light, as if caught in an inescapable vortex, rapidly converged in Skadi's palm, forming an energy orb, which Skadi forcibly compressed to the size of a ping-pong ball and held in her hand.

Antimatter Power - Divine Thunderclap!

A dense aura of destruction emanated from the gaps in Skadi's fist, and a ferocious and violent golden magnetic field burst forth, unleashing a terrifying antimatter punch that struck the Hydra from afar.

Boo!

The nine-headed golden eagle's pupils contracted, and it cried out in alarm, immediately using its divine speed technique to dodge the terrifying attack. However, it was still grazed on the wing by the force of the incoming attack.

In an instant, part of her wings vanished and evaporated into thin air.

Although injured, the nine-headed golden eagle was fortunate enough not to have taken the terrible blow head-on. It did not linger after dodging the attack, but turned around and flew away.

The other party was flying at an extremely fast speed, covering tens of thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.

Skadi chuckled and simultaneously used the power of the black hole and the power of the Mantra of Sorrow.

With its incredible speed and ability to traverse the void, it intercepted the nine-headed golden eagle in the blink of an eye.

By this time, the nine-headed golden eagle had already escaped to the sea.

Here, the opponent showed no intention of continuing to flee, and with a fierce look in their eyes, they unleashed their strongest divine power.

Tathagata's Dharma!

At her summons, the seawater beneath her surged violently, and a golden Buddha statue, a thousand feet tall, slowly rose from the seabed.

Before this towering golden statue of the Buddha, everything else seems so insignificant.

However, the tiny Skadi curled her lip in disdain upon seeing this Dharma image. Compared to the enormous Tathagata Dharma image summoned by Chen Xuanzang in the original work, which was comparable to the size of a celestial body, this Dharma image was completely insignificant.

It is powerful, but not powerful enough to excite Skadi.

P.S.: I took the day off yesterday. Sorry, I forgot to use the leave slip...

Chapter Thirty-Four: Destroying the Nine-Headed Golden Eagle and Shattering the Bodhisattva Guanyin

The Nine-Headed Golden Eagle is a combination of the Garuda and the Nine-Headed Bird.

Calling her a demon is not wrong, but she is also a divine bird with Buddhist lineage, so when the Nine Palaces True Man uses his magic and supernatural powers, there is no trace of demonic aura, but rather a strong Buddhist flavor.

To put it bluntly, this Nine Palaces True Man's strength is even above that of a certain demon king, Sun Wukong, so his status in Buddhism is absolutely not right.

Moreover, according to the original Journey to the West, this Nine Palaces Immortal can also be described as the Golden-Winged Roc of this world.

Both the roc and the peacock are born of the phoenix.

In the beginning of chaos, heaven and earth merged to give birth to all things. The phoenix, the chief of birds, received the energy of the union and gave birth to the peacock and the roc.

The peacock once swallowed the Buddha. After the Buddha escaped by cutting open the peacock's back, he intended to take the peacock's life, but the Buddhas believed that the Buddha killing the peacock was like harming his own mother.

Therefore, according to the teachings of the Buddhas, the Garuda can be regarded as the Buddha's uncle.

The Nine Palaces True Man before them also had a close relationship with the Buddha. When Skadi smashed the head of the Nine-Headed Golden Eagle, she read some of his thoughts.

Now, the Nine-Headed Golden Eagle has summoned a thousand-foot-tall Buddha image right in front of Skadi to fight.

Skadi, interested in this Dharma form supernatural power, combined tangible and material energy to control the seawater, forming a six-armed Asura thousands of feet tall, and threw a punch at the Dharma form of the nine-headed golden eagle.

boom---!

The golden giant hand collided with the pitch-black iron fist, stirring up towering air waves and explosions, and the seawater was pushed back for hundreds of miles.

However, it was Skadi who fell below during the initial impact of the two giants.

The Asura who was struck by the Tathagata's Dharma Palm had his entire arm twisted and cracked irregularly, making the difference in their abilities immediately apparent.

"Hmph, your flashy but ineffective tricks dare to contend with the Buddha's Dharma form?"

Reverting to human form, he hovered before the golden statue of Tathagata, looking at the enormous Asura Dharma image before him. The Nine Palaces True Man's eyes were mocking, and his tone was extremely disdainful.

She could naturally see through the true nature of this six-armed Asura. To try and contend with her Nine Palaces True Person's Dharma Form using such a thing was simply wishful thinking.

To avenge Skadi for blowing up his three heads, Master Jiugong was now completely serious. The golden statue behind him suddenly raised its hands, made a gesture of joining palms together, and then slammed them together.

boom--

In an instant, the space within a hundred miles trembled violently.

A golden shockwave erupted from the gap between the palms of the Tathagata's clapping hands, flashing past the Asura with lightning speed and cleaving him in two from head to toe.

After destroying the six-armed Asura, the golden palms opened again and slammed towards Skadi, intending to suppress her!

Skadi remained unmoved by the easy destruction of her six-armed Asura, after all, it was just a mere decoration.

However, at some point, when Master Jiugong saw Skadi's figure again, golden mandala battle patterns suddenly appeared on her forehead.

At the very center of those battle patterns, the Heavenly Eye, seemingly containing the myriad paths of the universe, had already opened.

After taking the Buddha's image before him into the field of vision with his divine eye, all secrets were easily torn apart, like the clothes on a powerless little girl.

"So that's how it is... Is this what is called the Dharma form? The combination of the essence and the meaning is now clear to me."

A solid and powerful figure appeared behind Skadi, and another person, Luo Xiu, manifested as a martial god. At the same time, a trace of the accumulated rage of his mass was drawn out and ignited, and the power of the mantra filled Luo Xiu's body.

Faced with the giant palm of the Buddha's golden body striking down, he roared and raised his muscular arms, actually managing to withstand the massive golden palm that slammed down.

"Are you male or female?! You're quite strong."

Seeing Luo Xiu suddenly appear and block the Tathagata's palm, Master Jiugong was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned cold. He increased the output of his magic power and made the golden Tathagata's giant palm continue to press down.

"I'm your dad!!!"

Luo Xiu raised his strong arms and roared.

An endless stream of the power of the Mantra of Wrath began to emerge, coating those arms with a golden glow.

But all the power was concentrated in his back, causing two Vajra arms to suddenly extend from his back, followed by two more Vajra arms.

Six arms together blocked the Buddha's golden giant palm.

Dharma Image: Six Heavenly Vajras!

With Luo Xiu's deafening roar, his originally tiny body suddenly began to grow enormous.

Manifesting her true nature and essence (desire) was nothing to Skadi, and she also understood the principle of the gigantification of the Dharma form.
