Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2160 - The fighting force that shook the three realms

As the number one powerhouse in the Three Realms, the Tathagata Buddha rarely made a move, making this battle a highly anticipated one.

Chu Hao in Jinping Prefecture was also paying attention to this move by Tathagata. Even Chu Hao had to acknowledge Tathagata's strength.

"Tathagata Buddha's strength is indeed unmatched in the Three Realms. As it stands, even if I fought him with all my strength, I wouldn't have much chance of winning."

Chu Hao is currently only a Half-Step Saint. Using the Buddha Kingdom in his Palm, he can exert the strength of a Saint Realm.

But even so, if he were to duel Tathagata one-on-one, Chu Hao felt that he wouldn't have much chance of winning.

"This Demon Clan's formation is indeed ingenious, but relying on the formation to fight against Tathagata, it's difficult to gain any advantage."

The Demon Clan's Heaven-Covering Great Formation can be considered the Demon Clan's signature technique. Maitreya Buddha, gathering the power of the Ten Great Demon Kings, could only barely cope with Tathagata.

In the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Court gods were also paying attention to Tathagata Buddha's move.

"This Tathagata is indeed extraordinarily strong."

Even the Jade Emperor showed a look of gravity between his brows regarding Tathagata's strength.

The other Heavenly Court gods were even more shocked by Tathagata's strength.

"This Tathagata Buddha is indeed the number one powerhouse in the Three Realms."

"I think in the Three Realms, no one can deal with Tathagata alone."

"Tathagata's strength is a huge threat to our Heavenly Court."

Regardless of one's position, simply looking at Tathagata's strength, no one in the Three Realms would deny his status.

The battle between Tathagata and Maitreya Buddha continued. Tathagata used the powerful divine ability of the Ten Direction Holy Buddhas.

Ten golden Buddha shadows simultaneously reached out, pressing down on Maitreya Buddha with all their strength.

Such a powerful pressure caused the demonic energy beside Maitreya Buddha to dissipate rapidly. If the Ten Great Demon Kings weren't maintaining it with all their strength, the Demon Clan's Heaven-Covering Great Formation would probably be broken.

"Demonic Energy Unleashed!"

Maitreya Buddha felt the power of the pressure and immediately controlled the surrounding demonic energy.

The surrounding heaven-covering demonic energy began to condense rapidly. As more and more dense demonic energy gathered, this demonic energy seemed to form a solidified state.

Then, streams of demonic energy began to rush in all directions,冲向了那四周的金身佛影.

These demonic energies were like sharp swords, launching an attack against the bodies of the golden Buddha shadows. Although the golden Buddha shadows were powerful, they couldn't withstand this series of powerful offensives.

Holes began to appear on the golden Buddha shadows, and the demonic energy also began to collapse constantly due to the dissipation of the impact force.

"Break!"

The consumption of demonic energy made Maitreya Buddha appear very tired, as if his energy was being rapidly drained.

However, two of the golden Buddha shadows had already been dispersed, and only eight remained out of ten. The pressure had been reduced by nearly half.

As the attack continued, the remaining eight golden Buddha shadows also began to collapse one after another, and the divine ability had been broken.

But looking at the final result, Tathagata Buddha's expression was relaxed, while Maitreya Buddha and the Ten Great Demon Kings' faces were exhausted. The difference in strength had already become clear.

"We can't continue like this, we will be defeated sooner or later."

"Tathagata's battle strength is so strong, I'm afraid we are no match for him."

"It is not a good strategy to fight Tathagata head-on!"

The Ten Great Demon Kings reminded Maitreya Buddha, they already seemed a little weak.

Maitreya Buddha naturally knew this. His situation was even worse than the Ten Great Demon Kings. Perhaps Tathagata only needed to attack two or three more times, and this Heaven-Covering Great Formation would be broken.

"Charge over!"

Since there was no advantage in fighting Tathagata, Maitreya Buddha could only place his hopes on other aspects.

He issued an attack order to the Demon Clan army, wanting to rely on the Demon Clan army's offensive to forcibly capture Mount Ling.

Avalokitesvara and the Buddhas of the Western Paradise immediately took action to resist, blocking the Demon Clan army's attack.

However, most of the Western Paradise's manpower had been dispersed to various places to deal with demons, and there were not many elite forces left behind on Mount Ling.

Although the Western Paradise had many disciple monks, the disciple monks' strength was weak, and they had no advantage against the Demon Clan soldiers one-on-one.

Maitreya Buddha's move indeed worked, and Tathagata appeared nervous.

This Mount Ling was his old nest. If it were occupied by the Demon Clan, then the Western Paradise would have no place in the Three Realms.

"Evil Demon Clan, get out of the Western Paradise Holy Land!"

So Tathagata had to be distracted to deal with the Demon Clan's forces, which reduced some of the pressure on Maitreya Buddha.

Maitreya Buddha and the Ten Great Demon Kings took the opportunity to attack fiercely. Tathagata's distraction naturally led to some setbacks.

Moreover, the Western Paradise monks were also beginning to retreat steadily in the battle against the Demon Clan, which forced Tathagata Buddha to issue a retreat order.

Especially with the existence of Tathagata Buddha, even if they continued to pursue, they would obviously not gain much advantage.

"Don't chase, just set up camp at the foot of Mount Ling. It is impossible for us to forcibly capture Mount Ling. Our purpose in attacking Mount Ling is to force their personnel to return for support.

We can take the opportunity to occupy the areas under the jurisdiction of the Western Paradise, and gradually erode the Western Paradise, destroying their foundation."

Maitreya Buddha said to his subordinates. This was also their purpose in attacking Mount Ling this time.

Tathagata Buddha and Avalokitesvara and others retreated back to Mount Ling and returned to the Great Hall of Leiyin Temple.

"The Demon Clan is coming aggressively this time, and we are now very passive."

"They are stationed at the foot of Mount Ling, obviously wanting to put pressure on us."

"If we can't repel them in a short time, our Western Paradise will inevitably be panic-stricken and chaotic."

Those Western Paradise big shots said to Tathagata Buddha. The Demon Clan's invasion could still be dealt with by those elite members.

But for ordinary Buddhas and disciple monks, they had already felt the threat coming, and were naturally uneasy.

Moreover, with the Demon Clan's oppression, the reputation of the Western Paradise would be greatly reduced over time, and its prestige would be damaged to a certain extent.

"Buddha, should we recall the Ancient Buddha Dipankara and the elite forces of our Western Paradise to repel the Demon Clan first?"

Avalokitesvara still insisted on her suggestion and asked Tathagata Buddha.

"No, the reason why the Demon Clan is attacking the Western Paradise with their main force is probably to force us to recall our manpower.

Their goal is to attack our other places, and not really to forcibly attack Mount Ling."

Tathagata Buddha was not without a brain. Seeing that the Demon Clan did not pursue, he basically understood the Demon Clan's purpose.

It was just that not recalling the dispersed forces would make it impossible to repel the Demon Clan, which indeed made him feel very troubled.
