Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

Maitreya Buddha stared intently at Shen Gongbao, his expression extremely grim.
How dare Shen Gongbao pursue us like this!

Upon learning all this, Maitreya Buddha was furious!
He was a member of the ancient Buddhist sect and had heard a little about the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods.

Although he did not participate personally, he knew many of the mysteries involved and understood that Shen Gongbao was nothing more than a farce in that reckoning of heaven and earth.

How terrifying that calamity was!
In the end, the entire Three Realms were drawn into the battle!
The saints eventually even got involved themselves!
Compared to the many ancient beings, Shen Gongbao was nothing at all. In that great calamity, Shen Gongbao was not even a slightly larger ant!

It's just a tiny chess piece!

Once upon a time, he stood atop the clouds, looking down upon all the calamities, all the schemes, and Shen Gongbao.

Like a giant dragon high in the sky looking down at an ant.

But now, the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and Shen Gongbao has already attacked him!

Shen Gongbao was surrounded by endless lightning tribulations, exuding an indescribable aura that kept countless bolts of lightning from getting close!

And it truly posed a fatal threat to him!
"Stop resisting, you have no chance of survival. Let all the Buddhist citizens of this small world leave."

Shen Gongbao said this, his voice somewhat hoarse.

This is not a physical problem, nor is it due to the ineffectiveness of the Heavenly Elixir for transcending tribulations.

Rather, there was simply too much lightning around, so much that Shen Gongbao was completely unable to defend against it all!

Amidst the endless lightning, his body suffered severe injuries.

Therefore, although he was able to use some supernatural powers and secret techniques to avoid the countless lightning tribulations in the heavens, he was still unable to do so.

But some attacks are unavoidable, or rather, they are another form of attack.

At this moment, all his bones were broken.

Even just standing here, even though his body is still being repaired by the endless vitality of the heavenly tribulation, he is actually enduring tremendous pain.

With his bones and muscles severely damaged, Shen Gongbao suffered an unimaginable blow amidst the endless lightning!
If Shen Gongbao is second to none in terms of the number of times he was killed, then no one would dare to claim the first place.

Moreover, it was undoubtedly extremely difficult for him to pursue the enemy with such lightning!
Even the slightest movement by an ordinary person during a heavenly tribulation will trigger countless auras.

For someone like Shen Gongbao to pursue someone so rapidly, while intentionally drawing in the lightning tribulation, is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task.

"Born as members of the Buddhist community, and dead as ghosts of the Buddhist community, these are the original inhabitants who have existed since ancient times and know nothing about anything else."

"I cannot survive without them."

"Besides, if I were to suffer a calamity, what would be the point of them surviving?"

Maitreya Buddha said in a calm tone.

He looked up at Shen Gongbao, his eyes shining with a Buddha-like light, surging with endless, vast waves.

"But I don't think you can defeat me. How can a mere Shen Gongbao possibly stand against me?!"

"To think you can win by relying on a little understanding of the Heavenly Tribulation is simply wishful thinking!"

“In this Buddhist paradise, there are still traces of many living beings. Why won’t you let them leave? Or do you mean to drag them down with you?” Shen Gongbao said coldly.

"What talk of being buried alive with them? They won't perish, I won't disappear, and neither will this little world."

"It is you who is destined to perish," Maitreya Buddha said slowly, his expression unusually calm, without any of the previous panic.

Shen Gongbao remained silent, but Maitreya Buddha looked up at Shen Gongbao and said this.

Have you ever heard that the Buddha had three lifetimes?

Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean by that?" "It's just the literal meaning. In the Buddhist community today, all the ancient Buddhas possess three different Dharma bodies."

“The Buddha of the future, the Buddha of the past, and the Buddha of this life.”

As Maitreya Buddha spoke, endless Buddhist scriptures flowed through his eyes, spreading boundless red light.

From a distance, it seemed as if what one saw was not an eye, but a long river of time, and his whole body was permeated with an extremely ancient aura.

"What stands here is not my true self, but merely a decaying past body."

"Even if it perishes, so what? My true form remains completely unharmed."

Shen Gongbao frowned.

At that moment, he was indeed somewhat shocked.

However, these shocks were not due to the Buddha Maitreya's claim of being the Buddha of the Three Worlds.

It was because he wanted all the living beings in this Buddhist Pure Land to be buried with him!
Undoubtedly, this is utterly outrageous.

"I was originally the strongest disciple under the two holy masters of Buddhism. However, my true body was ordered to guard the deepest part of the Buddhist sacred mountain in accordance with the master's command. I only have an incarnation walking in the world and do not have much strength."

Maitreya Buddha slowly recounted the origins and consequences of this body.

"I never imagined that I would one day fall at the hands of a mere Shen Gongbao."

Maitreya Buddha said this with a self-deprecating tone.

His expression was cold, filled with hatred and anger, though he was not his true incarnation.

But the manifested body was indeed exquisite and possessed an independent will.

Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao's heart trembled violently.

It turns out that Maitreya Buddha himself wanted to cultivate three incarnations, but rather that he received the decree of a legendary sage back then.

Why cultivate three different Dharma bodies? It seems Buddhism has grand ambitions!
However, the effect doesn't seem to be significant?
Now, the body of Maitreya Buddha has been corrupted by a curse, and he can no longer use any supernatural powers or spells.

Regardless of what Buddhism is planning, at least this Dharma body can no longer be used.

At this moment, his soul was gradually being eroded. This kind of supernatural power was too strange and contained extremely terrifying power.

The endless heavenly tribulation, triggered by the combined efforts of hundreds of thousands of people, was truly terrifying when it spread!
What's more, this curse also carries a strange power that can heal the countless wounds that were originally in his body!
Even after returning to his own little Buddhist world, he could only huddle in a tiny corner!
They dared not even enter, for all their power was sealed and infected by the curse. Any use of it would only exacerbate the curse's erosion. Even in such a desperate situation, they could not fight to the death.

"Come on, even if you win, so what? It's just an avatar. The real me is still immortal and eternal!"

"My strength far exceeds your imagination!"

As Maitreya Buddha spoke, his expression turned extremely cold, and then he stood up.

"Those Buddhists certainly have quite the ambition," Shen Gongbao said, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Enough talk, let's get started."

Maitreya Buddha spoke in a cold tone.

At this moment, he no longer possessed any of the dignified bearing that a Buddhist disciple should have.

His entire body shimmered with Buddhist light, and layers upon layers of scriptures spread outwards without restraint, releasing their full power without any inhibition!

Now, the Maitreya Buddha has lost his calm and composed demeanor. (End of Chapter)
