Chapter 1369: Chapter 599: Ying Zheng’s Scheme, Buddhist Sect and Blood Sea Go to War, Seizing the Lotus!
Seeing the two lotus seeds, Maitreya Buddha’s heart skipped a beat.
Pure World White Lotus Seeds!
At this moment.
Maitreya instantly understood that Ying Zheng was serious. He truly wanted the Twelve-Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus!
Looking at the high and mighty Ying Zheng, Maitreya Buddha sighed inwardly.
The current Qin is no longer the mortal dynasty he could easily manipulate in the past.
In the past.
At that time, he could manipulate Qin like a chess player, but now it was no longer possible.
After a long while.
Maitreya Buddha slowly spoke, his voice deep: "Very well! This humble monk, on behalf of the Buddhist Sect, accepts Your Majesty’s terms."
Receiving the affirmative response, Ying Zheng showed a satisfied smile, then put away the lotus seeds, waved his hand, and said, "I await your good news."
Maitreya Buddha said no more, bowed deeply to Ying Zheng, then turned around, transformed into a streak of light, and quickly left the Daqin Heavenly Palace. He sped all the way back to the Western Continent, to the Great Leiyin Temple, and informed Duo Bao Tathagata and Dipankara Buddha of his deal with Ying Zheng in full detail.
Inside the Great Leiyin Temple, the atmosphere was oppressively tense.
Twelve-Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus!
Even with Dipankara’s eternally steady mind, he could not help but twitch his eyelids at the mention of this name. He stared at Maitreya, frowning: "How dare you agree to such a deal? For the sake of mere two lotus seeds, do you dare to fight to the death with that madman from the Nether River?"
"The Nether River sits on the Blood Sea, undying and indestructible, with the supreme treasures Yuan Tu and Abi swords, and the Red Lotus as protection. Even if a Saint were to come, it wouldn’t be easy to kill him, let alone us?"
Duo Bao Tathagata sighed: "Ying Zheng is resolute. Without this, our Buddhist Sect can only watch helplessly as countless disciples get corrupted by Tribulation Qi, fall into the Demon Path, and suffer eternal damnation."
Then, he looked towards Dipankara: "Will your disciples escape this fate either?"
Dipankara Buddha fell into silence.
In the face of the great tribulation, no one can remain unaffected.
The disciples he brought from the Chan Sect already carry the Karma of the Divine Enthronement calamity, and now under the influence of Tribulation Qi, they are in even worse condition than the native disciples of the Buddhist Sect.
After a long silence, Dipankara sighed deeply: "So be it. This tribulation is unavoidable."
Seeing this, Maitreya cheerfully stepped forward: "Since that’s the case, there’s no time to lose, let’s set off immediately."
At a single command, the entire Spirit Mountain sprang into action.
Countless Buddhist Soldiers and Generals, under the leadership of the Eight Heavenly Dragons and the Four Great Bodhisattvas, transformed into mighty streams of golden light, no longer passively guarding the borders of the Western Continent, but instead launched an active assault towards the boundless Blood Sea!
Rumble!
Above the Netherworld Blood Sea, as Buddhist powerhouses descended, countless Asuras were alarmed. Led by the Great Brahma Heaven, Paranimmitavasavatti, Great Lord Shiva, Vishnu, and Heavenly Consort Umo, they charged out.
On one side, golden light stretched endlessly, the Brahma sound and Zen chants resounded through the Nine Heavens. Countless Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Vajras, and Jiedis formed a vast army of the Buddhist Sect, dignified in appearance and overwhelming in momentum.
On the other side, blood waves surged sky-high, filled with evil Qi. Countless Asuras with hideous, bloodthirsty faces swarmed out from the depths of the Blood Sea, forming an endless blood-colored ocean.
The two sides have long been at odds, engaging in many conflicts over the ages, forming a deep-seated grudge with Blood Sea.
Now upon meeting, there’s naturally no room for words, and they fiercely clashed.
"Kill!"
"For the flourishing of Buddhism in the world!"
...
"Roar!"
"Tear apart these bald donkeys!"
The shouts of battle shook the heavens and the earth.
Golden Buddha Light and blood-red Evil Qi intermingled, eroding and annihilating each other.
The Dharma Guardian Vajras of the Buddhist Sect, with strong physical bodies, wielded the Demon-Subduing Pestle, each strike containing the force of ten thousand jun. They smashed whole groups of Asura warriors into blood mist.
While the Asura Clan, naturally warlike and fearless of death, wielded various strange and bizarre weapons, tore the treasure bodies of the Vajra with their sharp claws, staining the kasaya with blood.
Guanyin, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and other Great Bodhisattvas each unleashed their divine skills.
The Willow Branch sprinkled the Three Light Divine Water, purifying the filth of the Blood Sea; the Wisdom Sword slashed down, annihilating all illusions; the Dharma Body stood tall, suppressing one domain.
On the side of the Blood Sea, Paranimmitavasavatti, Great Brahma Heaven, and other Asura Kings also manifested the Demon God Dharma Aspects with three heads and six arms, engaging in battle with the Buddhist Sect Bodhisattvas, causing heaven and earth to shatter and the void to collapse.
This battle was too brutal, each passing second claimed countless lives.
And at the height of the battle.
Three figures, silently tore open the void, directly descending above the Blood Sea.
They were Duo Bao Tathagata, Dipankara Buddha, and Maitreya Buddha, three Supreme Buddhas of the Buddhist Sect.
The Blood Sea, the most filthy place in the Primordial World, formed by Pangu’s navel, where the rules of the Heavenly Dao are even weak.
The three exuded immeasurable Buddha Light, like three blazing suns.
The vast and majestic pressure of the Buddhist Sect immediately enveloped the entire Blood Sea, casting a golden hue over the surging blood waves below.
"Nether River Ancestor, come forth to meet us!"
Duo Bao Tathagata spoke, his voice reverberating like thunder from the Nine Heavens, resounding above the Blood Sea.
Rumble!
The moment the words of the Tathagata finished, from the depths of the Blood Sea, a ten-thousand-zhang blood wave soared into the sky.
A figure in a blood-red robe, with a sinister face, treading on the Twelve-Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus, holding Yuan Tu and Abi swords, slowly rose from the blood waves.
It was none other than the master of the Blood Sea, the Nether River Ancestor. He looked at the three Buddhas suspended in the air, his face full of cold killing intent: "Duo Bao, Dipankara, Maitreya, you three bald donkeys, not reciting scriptures at Spirit Mountain, come to my Blood Sea to cause trouble. Are you tired of living?"
Duo Bao Tathagata remained calm, his gaze fixed on the Nether River, and cut straight to the point: "Nether River, my Buddhist Sect has no intention of being your enemy. Today we come out of necessity. If you hand over the Twelve-Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus under your command, our Buddhist Sect army will immediately retreat."
