Heaven-Defying Rebel Sage

As it happened, the Victorious Fighting Buddha arrived at the Asura Blood Sea to break through the Blood Sea and resolve the karma between the Ksitigarbha King and the Nether River.

Within the Asura Blood Sea was the formidable Blood River Grand Formation, second only to the Twelve Capital Heavenly Divine Slayer Formation, extremely powerful. Even a Saint would have to pay a great price to break it. However, the situation between Heaven and Earth had already stabilized, so even if the Fighting Buddha were to be injured, it would not be a big deal. He could recover naturally after a few hundred years.

Besides, the Victorious Fighting Buddha was much stronger than the average Saint. Even if the Demon Emperor Tai Yi were to be resurrected from the past, he would likely not be a match for him.

When the Victorious Fighting Buddha descended upon the Asura Blood Sea, the Nether River was naturally aware and was greatly shocked in his heart.

"Ancestor, the Victorious Fighting Buddha has arrived above the Blood Sea. He likely intends to move against the forces of our Asura Blood Sea!" the Asura Demon King said to Mara freely in Heaven.

Having been severely injured by Wukong, Mara was still not recovered. Now Wukong had become a Heavenly Dao Saint, and the Nether River himself was injured—the situation was precarious.

Grinding his teeth, the Nether River said, "I fear this time I’m really doomed! However, if they want my life, I’ll make sure he sheds a layer of skin! Command the three hundred million Asuras in the Blood Sea to form the Blood River Grand Formation. We shall make this Fighting Buddha bleed!"

Just at this moment, Wukong had already descended from the Upper Pure Heavens.

Upon arriving above the Asura Blood Sea, the Victorious Fighting Buddha said in surprise, "How come you are here?"

Wukong chuckled strangely and said, "If we forcefully break through the Blood River Grand Formation, I fear we would damage hundreds of millions of Primordial Spirit Thoughts. I specifically went to borrow the Slaying Immortal Four Swords, the Slaying Immortal Formation Map, and the Green Ripple Sword from the Tong Tian Sect Master. With you and me joining forces, this Blood River Grand Formation will hardly be able to harm us!"

Wukong had a good relationship with the Tong Tian Sect Master. Since the Fighting Buddha had come to break the Asura Blood Sea, naturally he would have to deal with the Blood River Grand Formation. Originally, the Fighting Buddha intended to open the Blood River Grand Formation by sacrificing several hundred million Primordial Spirit Thoughts, but he did not expect Wukong would actually borrow the Slaying Immortal Sword Array and the Green Ripple Sword. With this, the task was almost certain to succeed, and there was no need to damage any thoughts.
