Chapter 174 - 171: Demon Emperor Taiyi Meets Tathagata
The Kunpeng’s fierce battle with Acala at Mount Meru, following a magical combat, left Acala wounded.
Acala had a long sword wound on his chest, inflicted by Kunpeng’s Fish Intestine Sword, and it was still oozing golden blood.
"This Kunpeng is truly formidable, worthy of being called the Master of Ten Thousand Demons!" Acala thought to himself, taken aback.
The Tathagata’s expression darkened as he thought, "Could it be that I must resort to using Mahavairocana Tathagata’s Dharma Body? That Dharma Body has amassed much of the Incense Power and Wishes and the Power of the Heavens, enough to battle a Saint. It was only during the last conflict at the Ming River that I had to use it."
It turned out that Mahavairocana Tathagata’s Dharma Body was even more powerful than his true form and the Five Great Wisdom Kings. In Sanskrit, Mahavairocana is known as Vairocana, the ruler of the Esoteric Sect, to whom the Five Great Wisdom Kings submit.
Once again, Acala and Kunpeng clashed fiercely. In an instant, a Dharma Body emerged behind Kunpeng and with a roaring sound, it struck Acala. Acala’s bones shattered and his sinews snapped, as he tumbled across the ground for more than a dozen rolls, ending up in a most sorry state.
"Fine," Tathagata thought, "let Mahavairocana take action then. With Acala’s defeat, it’s time to win back some face for the Esoteric Sect."
With a mere thought from the Tathagata, Mahavairocana Tathagata, seated in the Vedha Continent’s Vajrayana Buddhism, suddenly opened his eyes and directly used great magical power to create a portal in the void. Stepping through, he descended upon Mount Meru in West Cow He State.
"Greetings to Vairocana Buddha!" Bodhisattvas and Buddhas present promptly bowed in reverence, filled with fear and trepidation.
Mahavairocana Tathagata!
This Mahavairocana Tathagata stood ten feet tall, holding the Wisdom Fist Seal, wearing a Golden Crown, and draped in a golden Kasaya. He emanated a majestic holy presence, with ears reaching his shoulders, and an awe-inspiring aura that made it hard for others to gaze directly at him.
