Chapter 154 - 151: Divine Skills, Dharma Body, Great Golden Core
The battle was fierce as a Taoist Golden Immortal descended on the field while a Buddhist Bodhisattva joined from the other side, both sides clashing mightily.
Ming River had muddied the waters with its arrival. The Buddhist sect intended to have Ming River slay the person blessed with the great destiny supported by the Taoist sect, which they naturally refused to accept. With both sides having conflicting interests, a massacre was inevitable to determine the higher and lower standings.
Indra was truly unfortunate, thinking no one was left and attempting to descend to kill Liu-Guan-Zhang, only to be interrupted by a Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal emerging and Huang Long Zhenren inflicting serious injury on him. Deeply distressed—he had not reached the Immortal Realm where his physical body could instantly heal—he carefully rose to his feet, looked around warily, and summoned the Yuan Tu Sword to protect himself. There were no small number of Taoist Golden Immortals around; although Guang Chengzi and others had already grappled with battles against Guanyin, there were still figures like Daohang Tianzun and True Man Taiyi who had not yet appeared!
Indra hesitated, scanning his surroundings, preparing to observe before descending to kill again. But that’s another story.
But as for Daoist Equal to Heaven and Monk She De, they engaged in an intense battle, exchanging blow after blow. Daoist Equal to Heaven wielded the Samsara Pen, a formidable weapon that forced Monk She De into a relentless retreat.
Monk She De’s mana was on par with his, but Daoist Equal to Heaven was truly enraged this time, wielding a variety of magical powers and magical treasures aggressively, resolute to behead the monk! In the last dispute between Buddhism and Daoism, these two old monks had meddled. This time, Daoist Equal to Heaven would make sure to spread peaches blossoming a myriad in celebration of sending the monk off to Western Heaven to meet Tathagata.
Daoist Equal to Heaven cursed, "You bald donkey, it would be fine if you didn’t come looking for trouble, but you had the audacity to provoke me! Good, good! Taste my divine skill!"
A Golden Body appeared behind Daoist Equal to Heaven, measuring an exact ninety-nine feet nine inches, embodying the extreme number, save for the "one" that was missing—the hint of a marvelous intrigue that could connect to some mystical principles of the universe. Once the Golden Body manifested, Daoist Equal to Heaven shouted, "I am born extraordinary, meddling baldies from Buddhist sects; the integration of three laws into one Dharma Body, come taste this Great Golden Core!"
Daoist Equal to Heaven was indeed quite peculiar, managing to twist the incantation used to invoke divine skills and spells into something bizarrely worded—once he spoke, it was "I am born extraordinary," which sounded amusing yet also more vulgar and domineering.
From the ninety-nine feet Golden Body’s mouth, a Great Golden Core was expelled. The core, the size of two fists, thundered forth with the sound of wind and thunder and moved at a speed so astoundingly fast that even a master of the Indestructible Realm likely couldn’t avoid it!
Startled, Monk She De was about to defend himself when Daoist Equal to Heaven roared, "I am born extraordinary, you bald donkey, how dare you meddle; divine powers of All Buddhas are only third rate, inferior to my Great Golden Core!"
