"It is said that you, the Holy Emperor, were once possessed by a demon. I wonder if you are truly yourself at this moment," said the Tathagata with a cold smile. It had to be said that in his form as the Golden Buddha, his cold smile was particularly chilling.
However, his words did not cause a commotion in the Holy City.
Millions of people remained silent. They were not to be swayed by the Tathagata's words. Since Qin Jun took on the role of the Holy Emperor, the people felt that their lives had improved, and the cultivators felt a relaxation in the resources for cultivation. The entire Southern Domain, and even the human race in the Southern Domain, was filled with a joyous atmosphere of prosperity.
The Tathagata came with a fierce momentum, clearly harboring ulterior motives. Who would believe him? Only a fool.
Not getting the desired effect, the Tathagata coldly said, "You have killed several disciples of my Buddhist sect, and even humiliated our most outstanding disciple at the Observing Heaven Assembly. Do you not want to repay this karma?"
Karma, my foot!
Qin Jun's forehead bulged with veins as he coldly snorted, "Kindness and enmity are clear. Your disciples provoked me beyond their capabilities. Am I not allowed to resist?"
He was guiltless in this matter. It was Sang Liang who provoked him in the first place, accusing him of being possessed by a demon because he absorbed the Extreme Flame Ghost Water. Later, he even brought powerful Buddhist experts to kill him. As for Xuan Qing, it was the same. They had gone through hardships together at the Observing Heaven Assembly, but as soon as Xuan Qing saw Qin Jun, he came to kill him. He deserved to be insulted.
"Attack, destroy him!"
Qin Jun waved his hand and angrily ordered. Now, he felt all kinds of displeasure when he saw the Tathagata. Damn it, this guy was too pretentious!
He dared to come directly to the Southern Domain Heavenly World. Wasn't this a slap in the face to the Great Qin Heavenly Court?
"Yes, sir!"
Hundreds of generals shouted in unison. The Giant Spirit God transformed into a thousand-zhang giant body and charged forward first, followed closely by Nezha, Zhu Bajie, Li Jing, and Hong Haier. Under the night sky, the scene was extremely spectacular, with the auras emitted by various gods and demons being extremely astonishing.
Facing the full-scale attack of the high-end forces of the Great Qin Heavenly Court, the Tathagata snorted coldly and once again waved his right palm, condensing his divine power into a towering golden palm that crushed down.
"Break for me!"
Yang Jian roared angrily, his figure like a shooting star, flying over the heads of all the generals and unleashing his full power to strike down from the sky. The War God's Triple-Pointed Blade tore through the air, using Yang Jian's greatest strength.
Although he had known that the Tathagata was very strong, Yang Jian had never truly sparred with him. The palm just now made Yang Jian feel extremely frustrated, so he struck with anger, even surpassing his peak.
With a loud bang!
The golden giant palm was forcibly blocked by Yang Jian, a scene that made Qin Jun's eyebrows rise in delight.
Nezha and the others also erupted with their own divine powers. Tang Sanzang also displayed the Tathagata's Divine Palm. Various divine fists, divine palms, magic weapons, and divine powers flooded the entire world, leaving millions of people gaping in astonishment.
At this moment, they clearly realized how strong Qin Jun's subordinates were!
Facing the full force of hundreds of generals, the Tathagata's golden giant palm was shattered in an instant, and the powerful impact caused the entire Holy City to shake violently.
The floating islands within a radius of thousands of miles were the same. Countless cultivators looked in shock at the battle light ahead. In their eyes, it was as if a sun had descended, causing everything in the world to lose its color.
"It seems that I have underestimated my subordinates!"
Qin Jun thought in pleasant surprise. He had not expected that when hundreds of people acted together, they would directly shatter the Tathagata's signature divine power.
Most importantly, Kuafu had not made a move yet!
At this moment, Kuafu stood on the cliff of the Holy Emperor Peak, looking at the towering figure of the Tathagata. His brow was tightly furrowed, and even when he saw the Tathagata's divine palm being shattered, his brow did not relax.
"Amitabha, you are all stubborn. Don't blame me for being polite!"
The Tathagata recited a Buddhist scripture, and then a power far surpassing before erupted from his body. Even Qin Jun was pressed down, let alone the common people and low-level cultivators, who were pressed to the ground, unable to move.
Yang Jian and the others' faces changed dramatically. The Tathagata's aura made them feel extremely anxious.
Yi Lao cursed loudly, "In just a few thousand years, such a figure has emerged in the Western Domain!"
The Tathagata's strength was the strongest he had ever seen in his life. Even the temple experts who had once fought him were not as good, which made him very annoyed.
Falling behind the times!
"Get lost!"
Jiu Tou Chong roared angrily, transforming into his true form of a nine-headed divine bird and forcefully charging towards the Tathagata, with a wingspan of three thousand zhang, intending to knock the Tathagata away.
With a muffled bang, the Tathagata single-handedly blocked Jiu Tou Chong.
Whoosh—
Nezha, with three heads and six arms, thrusts a spear forward, followed closely by Hong Hai'er, both wielding long spears that streak across the night sky like two long rainbows, only to be swatted away by another hand of Tathagata at an unpredictable speed.
Yuan Hong's staff comes crashing down with the force of ten thousand catties, landing on Tathagata's right arm in an attempt to help the Nine-Headed Bug break free, but it doesn't even cause Tathagata's right arm to tremble.
It's clear that Tathagata's golden body is incredibly powerful, far beyond what Yuan Hong, at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, can shake.
Suddenly, a towering pagoda comes crashing in, revealed to be Li Jing's Linglong Pagoda, followed by dozens of others including Zhong Kui, Zhu Bajie, Lei Zhenzi, Chang'e, all descending from the sky and heading straight for Tathagata's head.
The battle is incredibly intense, leaving Qin Jun nervously watching.
Although he's surprised that his hundreds of subordinates can hold their own against Tathagata, he can see that despite holding their ground, they are not gaining the upper hand at all!
It's safe to say they are being completely outmatched.
Qin Jun's heart aches. At this moment, he gains a deeper impression of individual combat strength. Previously, he relied on a few subordinates to overpower the enemy forces, but now, with Tathagata alone, they are completely lacking in spirit.
Boom!
At this moment, a majestic aura erupts, rivaling that of Tathagata, stunning everyone and causing them to turn around.
On the peak of the Holy Emperor's Peak, a burly figure rapidly grows larger, revealing Kuafu. He lowers his head, his long hair covering his face, but his muscular body exudes a wild and primitive aura that makes everyone's heart race.
Kuafu!
The generals are shocked. Qin Jun had previously mentioned that Kuafu is the strongest, and they all have to show him respect. This statement has been etched in their minds, and now, Kuafu is finally about to make a move.
Judging by his momentum, he is no less formidable than Tathagata.
Even Tathagata squints at Kuafu, secretly surprised. He didn't expect that Qin Jun's forces would include a Mahayana figure.
"Get lost, otherwise I will use all my strength to annihilate your body and soul!" Kuafu raises his head and speaks in a deep voice, his eyes as fierce as a lion's, making it impossible for anyone to meet his gaze.
His words are like a heavy bomb, leaving everyone moved.
Body and soul?
This guy is just a clone?
Qin Jun feels dizzy. If Tathagata's clone is this powerful, how terrifying must his true form be?
Perhaps a single palm could shatter the Southern Domain World!
Qin Jun can't help but grit his teeth. This is still a game?
"I never expected a Mahayana figure to submit to a mere Heavenly Immortal child." Tathagata once again adopts a mocking tone, but his voice is calm, as if he's speaking about something inconsequential, further infuriating Qin Jun.
I've always had a fantasy, which is to see the Great Sage Equal to Heaven fight Tathagata Buddha again.
