Chapter 235 - 228: Nether River Breaks Faith and Returns to Blood Sea
The battle between Buddha and the demon tribe was on the verge of erupting, and the troops from both sides had already clashed, the war drums shaking the heavens, blood boiling with fury.
Victorious Fighting Buddha held the Nirvana Staff in hand, this iron staff had undergone Nirvana as well, reforged within the magnificent Nirvana Fire of seven colors, possessing exceptional power, such that even the two Divine Swords of the Nether River could hardly damage it. The two sides fought fiercely, sparks flying about like molten steel clashing with iron—the burst of a single large spark exploding like Divine Thunder.
The Blood God Child clones from the Nether River were released again, but Victorious Fighting Buddha, surrounded by Buddha’s Light and echoing with the chants of three thousand Buddhas, remained invulnerable to all evil and impervious to all spirits. The moment the Blood God Child clones touched it, they immediately evaporated in a cloud of blood mist, with no chance to self-destruct.
This time Victorious Fighting Buddha underwent Nirvana, although his cultivation level hadn’t surged tremendously due to severing his obsessions, it had indeed significantly increased. Nether River found it extremely tricky to fight, as the speed, prediction, and awareness of Victorious Fighting Buddha had all greatly enhanced, making it impossible for Nether River to gain any advantage, instead being suppressed.
"Great Mountains and Rivers Seal!"
Victorious Fighting Buddha invoked the vast expanse of mountains and rivers and the profound weight of realms, with the Laws of the Heavenly Dao thundering—a display of strength nearing that of a Saint, capable of invoking the Heavenly Dao Laws. Suddenly, a Great Seal, engraved with mountains and realms, pressed down heavily towards the Nether River.
The Nether River kicked forward the lotus platform he stood on, colliding with the Great Mountains and Rivers Seal with a loud boom, Karmic Fire roared, entwining with the essence of mountains and realms, neither ceasing until death!
"Nether River, do not deceive yourself any longer, surrender now!" Victorious Fighting Buddha bellowed, continuously striking with the Great Hand Seal.
Nether River was retreating while fending off the attacks, plotting how to escape Victorious Fighting Buddha and exit the battlefield. Once back within the Asura Blood Sea, he could once again stand invincible, taking advantage of the terrain of the Asura Blood Sea to set up the Blood River Grand Formation. Even a Saint would need to think thrice before forcibly breaking through. If forced to break through, a price would inevitably be paid, which was why Nether River had lived so leisurely and luxuriously for many years.
Victorious Fighting Buddha naturally knew that if he let Nether River escape now, it would be troublesome to defeat him later; now was the best opportunity. His own strength had increased significantly, and Nether River was no longer a match! The title of the strongest under the Saints was about to change hands.
"Bang!"
