Chapter 145: The Siege of Sauron
The cavern of Mount Doom is devoid of fancy, except for a huge platform on which an altar rises.
The altars are stacked upwards in the shape of a square with four corners. The quadrangular platform is carved with intricate patterns, each of which shimmers with a red sheen.
These red lines are intertwined all over the platform, red like blood. But the truth is that these lines have nothing to do with blood, they are the magma of the center of the earth that flows on the altar.
Volcanoes, altars, lava, Sauron, a very harmonious picture, as if it has been towering across the ages, unchanged for thousands of years.
"You're here, I've been paying attention to you for a long time." The shadow-like Sauron stood above the altar, just a phantom of him, revealing the appearance of a man wearing full-body armor.
Sauron's hidden eyes looked at Zhang Yao, or rather at the ring in Zhang Yao's hand, and everyone heard the pleasure in his words.
Zhang Yao didn't answer Sauron's words, but stood in front of the altar, looking at the altar with interest.
"Molten altar, Sauron inside Mount Doom!" Zhang Yao was accompanied by the five Draculas, and he looked at the molten slurry that was constantly circulating on the altar to form a complex magic circle, and asked lightly, "Is this altar helping you to resurrect?" ”
Zhang Yao asked like an old friend, because on the altar in front of him, every time the molten magic circle rotated, Sauron's phantom-like body condensed into three points, which was definitely a clever formation.
Although this kind of condensation is impossible to distinguish with the naked eye, Zhang Yao can still feel Sauron's current situation under the effect of spiritual power. And this situation is that Sauron has no physical body today, only an illusion enriched with a magma circle. Zhang Yao was curious if this was the magic circle that Sauron used to resurrect, and if so, what kind of principle was used for this, and whether it was possible to learn from it.
The look in Zhang Yao's eyes was seen by Sauron, who shook his head slightly: "Resurrection!" No, there is no resurrection without the Lord of the Rings. It's just keeping me in shape, so I'm glad you got the Ring in front of me, and I can't wait to have it. ”
"Really!" Zhang Yao raised his hand and looked at the magic ring, perhaps because the master was in front of him, the magic ring in his hand was exuding a golden luster, and the five big characters "Supreme Full Imperial Ring" were circulating on the ring.
Zhang Yao looked at the extraordinary reflection of the Ring, and he could feel the impatience of the Ring. Perhaps, as Gandalf said, the Lord of the Rings has always had only one master, and that master is Sauron. Perhaps the Lord of the Rings has had many owners over the millennia, but these people only have the Ring in their hands. Even Zhang Yao was no exception, the magic ring in his hand was only worn on his hand, and its owner was still Sauron.
"What a Loyal Ring!" Zhang Yao felt the scorching heat coming from the ring, his right hand slowly clenched, and he looked up at Sauron again: "Last question, as the most powerful person in this world, do you know the situation outside this world, or do you know the mysteries of this world?" ”
"The outside world, this world is a mystery." Sauron's tone paused slightly, and he was silent for a long time before shaking his head: "No one can probe the secrets of a world, not even the gods can be omniscient. ”
Sauron replied in the affirmative, Zhang Yao was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he was already prepared to be disappointed. In fact, he wasn't sure if Sauron knew anything, but now it seemed that even Sauron knew something, and it was obviously very limited.
"Thank you for your answer." Zhang Yao nodded slightly at Sauron very politely, then took two steps back and stroked the hot ring, and whispered to the clown emperor beside him: "He has no use value, kill him." ”
As soon as Zhang Yao said to do it, the first person to make a move was Gandalf.
Gandalf and Sauron fell in love and killed each other all their lives, and now that they had a chance to turn the tables, they immediately poked their white staff into the ground.
The milky white shockwave extended outward with Gandalf's staff as the center, although Sauron didn't expect Zhang Yao to say that he would do it, but he had always been on guard, he reacted instantly, shook his hand at Gandalf, and also greeted it with a shockwave.
The two shockwaves collided directly together, and Gandalf, who was rushed by the energy, directly took five steps back with his staff. Sauron, who was standing on the altar, only shook slightly, and there was no other reflection.
In a tentative encounter, Sauron, who had no substance, also defeated Gandalf in strength.
Hedram, who was standing on the side, appeared directly beside Zhang Yao after seeing this scene, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, now Sauron's strength is the lowest and the peak of heroes. If the Ring is obtained by him, Sauron, who has condensed the entity, will definitely increase in strength, and it is likely to break through the boundary directly. ”
The boundary that Hedram speaks of is the barrier between heroes and demigods.
Zhang Yao nodded silently after hearing this, and swept the Clown Emperor and Pudu Cihang with the corner of his eye.
"Ace Throwing Knife!" The Clown Emperor quickly shot under Zhang Yao's gaze, and the four flew to shoot out one after another.
Four throwing knives sliced through the barrier of space and appeared directly behind Sauron. But Sauron didn't seem to realize this, and he didn't even block it, allowing the flying knife to pass through his chest.
The flying knife passed through Sauron's body, as if it had been drawn and cut through water, so that Sauron didn't even frown.
The body of nothingness, not caring about mere physical attacks. When the Clown Emperor saw that the throwing knives had returned in vain, he knew that Sauron's current situation was similar to that of Hedram, and it was difficult for physical attacks to work.
After a tentative blow. The Clown Emperor no longer hesitated. His body jumped a few times, appearing directly around the altar, his hands crossed together: "Destroy Aurora!" ”
The roar of "buzzing" energy sounded directly, and even with Sauron's power, he didn't dare to be careless in the face of the Clown Emperor's destruction aurora.
Sauron grabbed a hammer-shaped weapon directly from the void with both hands. After possessing the weapon, Sauron suddenly raised the long hammer in his hand, and the hammer collided directly with the destruction aurora.
This time the collision shook the ground, and the altar under Sauron's feet shattered instantly, and the two were in a stalemate with each other in the competition of strength.
Pudu Cihang, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, knew that he could not miss the opportunity after seeing this scene.
Pudu Cihang directly turned into a big Buddha, and instantly appeared in the sky above the battle between the two sides, and a pair of Buddha hands quietly slashed towards Sauron.
Sauron had so much combat experience that he had already noticed the first time Pudu Cihang's sneak attack.
However, sensing the hostility from above does not mean that you can fight back. At this moment, the competition between Sauron and the Clown Emperor is at a critical moment, and whoever pulls hands first will give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of.
"Today is your end, and you will be judged, Sauron." Without waiting for Sauron to counterattack, Gandalf raised the staff in his hand, and the old mage would not miss such a good opportunity, and a milky white light shot out, straight to Sauron.
"Damn it!" Sauron scolded in a low voice, he didn't want to be pecked by sparrows all day long, in the past, he took the Nine Rings to besiege others, but today it is completely reversed.
Pudu Cihang's Buddha palm and Gandalf's dazzling Dharma light are coming in an instant. Knowing that he couldn't resist hard, Sauron gritted his teeth and broke off the energy collision with the Clown Emperor, and slammed it out with the long hammer in his hand.
Two energy attacks flew out of Sauron's hammer, one at the Clown Emperor's Aurora of Destruction and the other at Gandalf's dazzling magic light.
The lesser of two evils, the most threatening in the scene is the destruction aurora emitted by the Clown Emperor. So Sauron didn't even have to think about it, the first blow was directly aimed at the Clown Emperor, and the second blow was aimed at Gandalf's dazzling light.
"Boom!" The turbulent energy turbulence raged on the spot, and after the two attacks, before Sauron could fight back again, Pudu Cihang's Buddha palm fell from the sky and directly pressed on Sauron's body.
"Boom!" The golden Buddha palm was bigger than the broken altar, and with a roar, the Buddha palm covered the sky above Sauron, and he only had time to raise the long hammer in his hand before the golden Buddha palm hit directly on the weapon.
"Click!" Sauron's legs sank directly into the ground, and his ethereal body swayed under the golden Buddha's palms like a lamp blown by the autumn wind.
"The sea of bitterness is endless, and turning back is the shore!"
The voice of Pudu Cihang, who was incarnated as the Golden Buddha, was extremely solemn, and the Golden Buddha stood upside down on top of Sauron's head with one hand down.
"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha"
The chanting sounded faster and faster, and the golden characters flew out of the mouth of the golden Buddha, constantly blessing on the golden Buddha's palm. With the blessing of the golden runes, the Buddha's palm emitted ten thousand golden rays, fiercely suppressing Sauron's resistance, making Sauron unable to move.
The Golden Buddha and Sauron were at a stalemate like this. The Clown Emperor and Gandalf glanced at each other and smiled in unison.
