Chapter 230 - 223: The Eastern Emperor Bell and the Resurrection of the Six-Soul Banner
Yuan Hong unleashed a deadly blow, slaying Buddhas Immeasurable Light and Immeasurable Life, greatly boosting the morale of the Demon Tribe, while the Buddhist Sect was steeped in a somber mood.
"The Demon Tribe having won the first battle naturally has their morale boosted. Such a development is extremely unfavorable for us. Who will undertake the second battle?" Tathagata slowly said.
"Buddha Ancestor, allow your disciple to go," the Glazed Light King, Medicine Buddha, stepped forward.
Medicine Buddha was also highly skilled. He had two thousand yakshas at his command, though a few hundred had perished on Mount Putuo. As long as these two thousand yakshas chanted scriptures in unison, any wounds on his body could rapidly heal, an extremely miraculous ability! With these yakshas, he was practically immortal. Even if his Niwan Palace was shattered, his physical body could still swiftly recover.
Tathagata pondered for a moment and said, "If you go, the Demon Tribe will likely send Ksitigarbha King to face you."
Now the Buddhist Sect had been intimidated by Yuan Hong’s staff blow, and everyone harbored a sense of dread in their hearts.
The protector with a mosquito-like appearance had a gloomy face as he said, "For the second battle, why not let the Nether River Patriarch take over?"
Tathagata’s eyes lit up and he replied, "Indeed, if Nether River takes on the challenge, then certainly Sun Wukong would be their champion in battle. Should Sun Wukong be defeated, the morale of the Demon Tribe will surely plummet, after all, he is the Demon Tribe’s Green Emperor; he is expected to win, not to lose! Very well, mosquito protector, please take the trouble to invite the Nether River Patriarch to battle."
Both sides displayed their exemption banners and discussed the arrangements for the second battle.
The mosquito protector accepted the command and headed alone towards the Asura Blood Sea slung across the sky.
Upon observing this, the Demon Tribe quickly realized that for the second battle, Nether River must be the one being called forth!
