Chapter 102 Tathagata Makes the First Move (Update)

clang!
The moment the Buddha's seal collided with the iron fist, all the stars in the sky trembled at the same time.

The swastika pattern on Tathagata's palm peeled off layer by layer, and the broken gold foil turned into a rain of fire all over the sky. Tathagata stood still as a mountain, staring coldly at the Monkey King.

"The unity of Hunyuan is the method of Laojun, and the innocence is the method of the Great Emperor. With the help of the luck and the law of heaven and earth, this body is stronger than the cultivation. Your master has calculated it clearly."

"A quasi-saint is nothing more than this!" The Great Sage grinned grimly.

“Come again!” The Great Sage shouted angrily, and with a shake of his body, he transformed into a three-headed, six-armed being, and all six hands slapped towards the Buddha.

"I am as unmovable as a mountain!" Tathagata Buddha clasped his hands together, and a golden bell appeared around him, which was the Buddhist magical power of the Golden Bell Cover. "Monkey demon, now that you have abandoned darkness and joined the light, I will allow you to re-enter the calamity!"

"I don't need it!" The Monkey King's six hands made a crackling sound when they touched the Golden Bell Cover.

The golden light on the golden bell cover was evolving into countless swastikas that kept crawling towards the Great Sage's arms. It seemed that the Tathagata Buddha wanted to use the power of Buddhism to erode the Great Sage's body.

"Break it for me!" The Great Sage roared, and used all six hands to exert force, causing cracks to appear on the golden bell.

"How naughty! You're looking for death!" Tathagata recited the true meaning, and immediately the golden bell cover turned into a thousand-foot-long golden body. Tathagata Buddha sat between the golden body's eyebrows, his eyes wide open with anger.

"Where are the Eight Heavenly Dragons?"

"Roar!"

Suddenly, dragon roars were heard everywhere.

A golden wheel suddenly appeared behind the neck of the Tathagata's Dharma image, and the sound of Sanskrit chanting made the Great Sage's ears bleed. Eight dragon shadows poked their heads out of the void, and their dragon fangs bit the Great Sage's limbs and joints.

A huge golden bird flew out from the eyes of Tathagata Buddha and went straight to the heart of the Great Sage.

“Great, great!” the Great Sage shouted angrily, and the golden cudgel flew out from his chest, transforming from an embroidery needle into a towering pillar in the blink of an eye, smashing the golden bird into pieces, and it continued to grow bigger in the eyes of Tathagata Buddha.

"Break his golden body for me!" The Great Sage bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood onto the golden cudgel.

The blood color was like ink entering water, and within a breath, the entire golden hoop was dyed red.

"Give it to me!"

The golden cudgel that looked like a pillar of heaven slammed fiercely into the golden body of Tathagata Buddha. At that moment, the golden body seemed to be about to be knocked away, but even so, there was still no crack at all. This was Tathagata!

"Don't be so arrogant, monkey!"

The Tathagata's seven-treasure cassock exploded into shreds. The golden body unexpectedly manifested a three-headed, six-armed form, each of its six palms forming a different seal. The Fear Seal and the Demon-Subduing Seal overlapped, and the shadowy image of Mount Sumeru emerged from its palms, crashing directly into the golden cudgel.

boom!
The moment the shock wave spread, the sky became cloudless.

The Monkey King's jaws cracked, and his golden cudgel let out a mournful cry as if it was on the verge of breaking.

"Today, there is an evil monk who is destroying the luck of Zhenhai and wants to destroy the luck of Liangjie. I beg for mercy from the heaven." The Great Sage grinned and roared to the sky.

Rumble!
Thunderclouds were raging in the sky, and thousands of thunderbolts descended at that moment, causing the Eight Heavenly Dragons to scream miserably. The Great Sage seized the opportunity and exerted his strength to break free from the Eight Heavenly Dragons. He placed his palm on the golden cudgel, and the golden cudgel was retracted. The Great Sage quickly retreated, gasping for breath, staring at the Tathagata Buddha covered in thunder.

The divine weapon really looks ridiculous in front of the Buddha, and the brute force of the physical body cannot withstand the opponent's magic seal. It would be difficult to kill the Buddha with one palm.

Silver light surged above the golden body of Tathagata Buddha.

"The monkey in the heart breeds fire in the heart, and fire in the heart breeds demons in the heart. I am the Venerable Sakyamuni from the Western Paradise. Today, I am enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven and suppressing the monkey in the heart. Get out!!"

The Buddha looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky and as soon as he finished speaking, the muffled thunder fell silent for a moment and then dispersed.

After all, Sun Wukong merely summoned the thunderbolts of Heaven at will through the power of his destiny, and he couldn't possibly have the righteous words of Tathagata Buddha. "You idiot monkey! You even dare to deceive Heaven! You are truly an evil heretic. I will not tolerate you!" Tathagata clasped his hands together, and the Buddha's light in his palms exploded.

The projections of the three thousand worlds crushed the Great Sage's Dharma image to pieces, and his knees cracked under the heavy weight.

"Is this the perfect strength of a quasi-saint?" Sun Wukong originally thought that his Daluo Jinxian cultivation was enough to help his master, but now it seems that it is still not enough.

The Great Sage's eyes were as red as blood: "Uncle Master, I can't hold on any longer!"

"Please baby, turn around!"

Suddenly, the voice of Taoist Lu Ya was heard, and a red gourd appeared between the eyebrows of the Great Sage. Suddenly, a ray of white light flew out and turned into a sword light.

The sword light tore through the Buddha Kingdom in his palm, and each sword was brutal and cruel like the beginning of chaos. Not only that, white light came in an instant.

Tathagata slightly turned sideways, but the white light was even faster.

The first knife cut off the fleshy bun on the top of the Buddha's head, the second knife cut off the seven-treasure necklace, and the third knife went straight to the vital point of the neck.

The Tathagata Dharmakāya finally took a half step back, preventing himself from being hurt by the third knife.

The three thousand worlds also dissipated as a result, and the Great Sage quickly collected his Dharma body and landed beside Lu Ya.

"Uncle Master, what a great move!" The Great Sage was not stingy with his praise. He had tried his best but failed to hurt Tathagata at all just now, but Lu Ya's Immortal Slaying Flying Knife had achieved such a great achievement with just one move.

"It's a pity that I couldn't kill him with one strike."

"A sneak attack? When did Taoist Lu Ya learn such despicable behavior?" Tathagata stared at Taoist Lu Ya coldly.

"Hey? What's a sneak attack? I'll kill you when you're sick!" Almost at the same time, Lu Ya's voice sounded in the ears of Tathagata Buddha, and he reached out to Tathagata Buddha's temple with one hand.

The speed was so fast that the shadow of Lu Ya disappeared from the eyes of Tathagata Buddha before he reacted. However, his movements were not slow, and the shadow of the golden body of Dharmakaya grabbed Lu Ya's wrist first.

Click!

Lu Ya's wrist was broken directly, but Lu Ya didn't care. He swept his arm towards the face of Tathagata Buddha. While sweeping, his palm grew again, and the bowl in Tathagata Buddha's hand emerged, blocking in front.

hum!
It was like the sound of a bell.

Buzz!
The sound of collisions became more and more frequent, Lu Ya's attacks became faster and faster, the white shadow around Lu Ya became more and more solid, and each punch carried unparalleled power.

"Ancestor of the Styx! Why don't you show up!" Lu Ya punched the golden body again and shouted angrily.

"You don't understand!" The eyes of Tathagata Buddha became extremely sharp. He threw the bowl in his hand to the right, sinking the ray of white light into it.

"Damn it!" Lu Ya took back the red gourd just before the bowl was retracted and dropped it next to the Great Sage.

"Uncle master, are you okay?" The Great Sage stepped forward and asked with concern. At this time, Lu Ya's body was covered with golden swastika symbols, and there were cracks in several places, and the swastika was constantly sinking into them.

"It's okay!" Behind the Great Sage, another Lu Ya walked out, and the Lu Ya next to the Great Sage turned into a scarecrow and fell into Lu Ya's hands.

Looking at the writhing swastikas on the scarecrow, Lu Ya looked at the Tathagata Buddha and said, "Buddhism emphasizes enlightenment, but it has never used such methods to corrode the flesh. Only the Styx lineage knows how to use blood. I beg the Great Emperor Haotian to capture the ancient Ashura lineage."

Lu Ya shouted loudly in the direction of Lingxiao Palace.

"Since I know that they are plotting against me, how could I possibly expose myself to the eyes of the Emperor of Heaven? Ah Nuan, Jiaye has already transformed this place into my own Buddha Kingdom. Taoist Lu Ya, please stop shouting. Even if you scream your throat out, no one will come to save you!"
