Chapter 923: Vairocana Spiritual Body
Hinnyo’s words reeked of arrogance, but it was justified.
The Shaman lineage had always been renowned for its limitless potential. If one’s Spiritual Statue was of high quality and one had a sufficient supply of divine power, fighting above one’s realm was not impossible.
Hinnyo’s Spiritual Statue was none other than the Vairocana, which was the foremost among Buddhist Spiritual Statues, standing on par with the Amitabha Spiritual Statue.
He had also come meticulously prepared with a stockpile of divine power from the Hongan-ji. In the blink of an eye, he squandered 5,000 marks of it without flinching and was now as powerful as a Pseudo-Immortal.
Thus, Li Tiangang was not a match for him.
Great Sage Zhang Qihan could have intervened and crushed Hinnyo. But at that very moment, the Great Sage of the Fenglin Daoist Mansion was sitting across the negotiation table from two jokai-rank shinkan. If they decided to get violent, the shinkan’s divine artifacts and divine descents could delay the Great Sage long enough, even if they could not win the fight.
When else would Ise-jingu’s hoarded divine power be unleashed, if not now?
Zhang Qihan saw through their trap. That was why he did not intend to intervene and instead dispatched Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu to cover for Li Tiangang.
As soon as Hinnyo’s voice faded, a beam of boundless sword light ripped open the divine kingdom, descending from the heavens.
The burning clouds of Solar Flames that blotted out the sky were split into two by the sword light, forming a trench about 30 meters wide.
The green-purple light cleaved the Buddha’s wrist.
Though the sword light’s edge dulled after going through the divine kingdom, the entire palm was nonetheless severed at the root.
