Chapter 239 - 226: Equal to Heaven Calls Out to Fight the Heavenly Dragon
The battle between Great Emperor Zhenwu and Buddha of Immeasurable Life was fierce, a contest of wits and strength. By the end, the Buddha of Immeasurable Life was at the end of his tether.
Both the Buddha of Immeasurable Life and the Buddha of Immeasurable Light were formidable among the Three Thousand Buddhas, while Zhenwu himself was a Great Emperor of the Taoist Sect. The duel between these two was spectacular indeed.
Although the Buddha of Immeasurable Life was still desperately holding on, any cultivator could see he was about to be defeated. After all, Great Emperor Zhenwu was still calm and collected, while the Buddha of Immeasurable Life was already drenched in sweat and even spouted vital blood, clearly at the end of his rope! Otherwise, he would not have damaged his vital essence to temporarily increase his mana.
The last cup of the Buddha of Immeasurable Life was forced into a precarious state by Great Emperor Zhenwu, its corner already nicked by thunder.
Great Emperor Zhenwu shouted, "Break!"
The thunder struck down, and the teacup of the Buddha of Immeasurable Life shattered into pieces, scattering across the table.
Struck as if by lightning, the Buddha of Immeasurable Life spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, staggered back two steps, and with hands clasped together, said in a trembling voice, "Namo Amitabha Buddha, this monk admits defeat!"
Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch nodded with a smile and asked, "What does Tathagata think?"
With a flip of his hand, Tathagata now had ten sparkling Golden Sand Pills in his palm. He laughed and said, "It seems that Great Emperor Zhenwu is a cut above. The Buddha of Immeasurable Life has truly learnt a lot this time; perhaps there will be a chance for another lesson in the future. These ten Golden Sand Pills will be kept by Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch for now."
With a sweep of his sleeve, the ten Golden Sand Pills in Tathagata’s palm vanished. The Celestial Venerable laughed and said, "Then I shall gladly accept them for now, and if Tathagata can win them back later, that would of course be the best."
Tathagata gave a calm smile, but inside, he felt quite displeased; the Buddha of Immeasurable Life had lost to Great Emperor Zhenwu, putting the Buddhist sect at a disadvantage.
