Chapter 031: Suppression

The only thing Wang Bo worried about was whether Hela might have any extra thoughts now that he was so weak. This goddess of death was no pushover.

Perhaps while he was unconscious, she had cast some curse on him.

Wang Bo discreetly examined himself and found no discomfort in his body, aside from the curse, nothing seemed amiss.

This made Wang Bo quite curious. Could Hela have really changed her mind?

He was unconscious and unaware—such a perfect opportunity, and she did nothing?

But soon, Wang Bo figured out the reason.

After he had been cursed and fell unconscious, his doppelgänger was still there. Perhaps Hela wanted to act but was stopped by his doppelgänger.

Of course, it was also possible that Hela had already acted, but he was too weak to notice.

Regardless, Wang Bo wasn't too worried.

Even if Hela had truly cast a curse on him, once he recovered, he was confident he could break it.

For now, the most important thing was this curse; everything else was secondary.

"By the way, did any spatial fluctuations occur while I was unconscious?" Wang Bo suddenly thought of this and asked.

Hela shook her head calmly and said, "No."

"That's good." Wang Bo nodded. As he spoke, a new idea occurred to him, and he quickly said, "Since you're back, keep an eye on the spatial fluctuations. I need to handle some personal matters."

Hela glanced at Wang Bo, said nothing, and nodded.

Wang Bo passed through the World Gate, returned to the Central Earth Continent, and then went to the world of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.

Yes, Wang Bo's latest idea was to ask the Tathagata Buddha if he had any way to help eliminate this troublesome curse.

Then, Wang Bo summoned his doppelgänger, and with its help, quickly arrived at Mount Meru.

Upon entering Mount Meru, Wang Bo dismissed his doppelgänger. He had only walked a short distance when he stopped, took a few deep breaths. The curse had left him very weak; even a little activity made him sweat.

Just then, the Arhat Subduing Dragon walked out of the Mahavira Hall and in an instant stood before Wang Bo.

The Arhat Subduing Dragon pressed his palms together and said softly, "Benefactor, the Buddha invites you."

Wang Bo nodded. Mount Meru was the Tathagata Buddha's domain; how could the Buddha not know when Wang Bo entered? He had even seen that Wang Bo was cursed.

After all, such a large curse on him was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye.

Let alone the Tathagata Buddha.

Wang Bo stepped forward, following the Arhat Subduing Dragon into the Mahavira Hall.

The Tathagata Buddha sat cross-legged, his hands forming a mudra, and said slowly, "Benefactor, I already know why you have come to Mount Meru. The one who placed this curse on you is no less powerful than I. Faced with such a troublesome curse, I cannot break it either."

Wang Bo was not too disappointed. The Dragon God had reduced him to this state with a single curse; its power was self-evident.

Since the Tathagata Buddha had no solution, Wang Bo had already guessed as much. He said, "If you can't break it, can you at least suppress it?"

The Tathagata Buddha pondered for a moment and said, "That is possible."

Although the curse was troublesome, with his Dharma power, suppressing it was not a problem.

"Then go ahead," Wang Bo said bluntly.

The Tathagata Buddha nodded. The golden wheel of Buddha light behind him turned. He raised his hand and pointed a single finger at Wang Bo. A surge of mighty Dharma power flowed from his hand into Wang Bo's body.

This Dharma power was so strong that it surpassed Wang Bo's own magical power and Solar True Qi.

Even combined, they could not exceed this Dharma power.

Wang Bo couldn't help but marvel. The Tathagata Buddha truly lived up to his reputation.

Then how terrifying must be the Tathagata of No Heaven, who could suppress the Tathagata Buddha? Fortunately, he had not clashed with the Tathagata of No Heaven back then, or he might have been finished.

After entering Wang Bo's body, this Dharma power transformed into a huge swastika seal and began to suppress the curse within him. The curse, not to be outdone, stopped eroding Wang Bo's body and started to resist the Tathagata Buddha's Dharma power.

The two formidable forces clashed fiercely, using Wang Bo's body as a battlefield.

Fortunately, Wang Bo's body was exceptionally strong; even with the two forces battling, he could endure it.

When the curse began to fully resist the Tathagata Buddha's Dharma power, Wang Bo regained control of his Solar True Qi and magical power.

He decisively activated his Solar True Qi and joined the battle.

Although Wang Bo's Solar True Qi was not as strong as the curse or the Tathagata's Dharma power, it was still a fresh force. Joining the Tathagata's side, the curse's power began to retreat step by step.

But this power remained inside Wang Bo's body, and there was no way to completely expel it.

Wang Bo could only use the Tathagata's power, combined with his own Solar True Qi, to suppress the curse force within his body, forcibly sealing it.

After the curse force was sealed, the Tathagata Buddha's swastika seal formed a barrier, suppressing the curse force.

Then, the Tathagata Buddha withdrew his Dharma power.

Without the Tathagata's Dharma power to suppress it, the curse force began to riot, trying to break the seal.

This thing was even more troublesome than imagined.

Wang Bo decisively mobilized his Solar True Qi, channeling all of it into the seal to reinforce it and suppress the riot of the curse force.

Before long, the curse force was completely suppressed by Wang Bo.

To prevent the curse force from breaking the seal, Wang Bo linked his Solar True Qi with the seal, using all his Solar True Qi to suppress the curse.

As a result, Wang Bo could no longer use his Solar True Qi in battle.

But fortunately, Wang Bo had many other means: besides Solar True Qi, he still had magical power, the Little Universe, and his doppelgänger.

Even without Solar True Qi, his strength would not decrease too drastically.

At the same time, Wang Bo finally shook off the feeling of weakness; his full vitality returned.

The only regret was that until the curse was completely removed, Wang Bo's steel body might be affected by the curse force and could no longer grow stronger.

"Thank you, Buddha."

After suppressing the curse force, Wang Bo pressed his palms together and thanked the Tathagata Buddha. Without his help, suppressing the curse force would not have been easy.

He might have had to endure the weak state where he would sweat after just a few steps.

"Benefactor, there is no need for thanks. The causes of the past lead to the effects of today; everything is destined." The Tathagata Buddha smiled slightly and said slowly.
