Chapter 276: Immortal Sword
If Li Anran helped those wronged souls in the Mongolian world three-quarters out of pity and seven-quarters because of Nezha, then Nezha did it entirely out of pity.
Tathagata's words completely infuriated him!
At the same time as the Qiankun Circle was smashed out, Nezha himself turned into a golden light and followed closely forward.
Crimson flames enveloped his body like a huge fireball, and seven-colored rays of light emerged from his body, transforming into a three-headed, six-armed being, holding all the magic weapons in his hands.
Nezha knew how powerful Tathagata was, so he used all his strength as soon as he attacked, while calling out to Li Anran: "Li Anran, this old monk is very powerful, let's attack together!"
"Okay!" Li Anran doesn't have any martial ethics...
Pooh!
Compared to the courage of a common man, Li Anran prefers the justice of two against one. Without saying a word, he waved his hand and slapped it towards Tathagata.
Li Anran's physical body is much stronger than those of ancient great wizards such as Kuafu and Houyi . With his magical powers of controlling the heavens and the earth, he throws a punch, and the earth shakes and the void collapses. His power is even stronger than that of innate spiritual treasures.
"You evil creature, even until now, you still don't think of repenting, and you even dare to have evil thoughts!" Tathagata waved his sleeves, and a ray of Buddha's light flew out, crossing the sky and the earth like a rainbow, and turned into a huge light blade that slashed out.
Bang!
The Buddha's light directly knocked the Qiankun Circle away, and with undiminished momentum, it crashed straight into Nezha.
Nezha did not dodge.
He knew that Tathagata was very powerful, but he had no idea how powerful he was. He planned to take this opportunity to test Tathagata's abilities.
However, while taking the attack, Nezha was also fully prepared.
He first wrapped the Hun Tian Ling around his body, which turned into a red mist to protect his body.
He also sacrificed all the magic weapons such as gold bricks, demon-slaying swords, and demon-subduing pestles to block the Buddha's light.
He himself held a musket and rushed forward without dodging.
After experiencing the incident with the fake Tongtian, Nezha can be said to have been reborn from the ashes. His aptitude for following the path skyrocketed, and his cultivation also broke through to the level of Daluo Jinxian. His magic power is a thousand times stronger than before.
He originally thought that Tathagata had not yet become a saint and was still in the realm of Daluo Jinxian. Even if he was stronger than him, he would not be much stronger.
However, the reality is far from that!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In front of the Buddha's light, magic weapons such as gold bricks, demon-slaying swords, and demon-subduing pestles were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. The moment they touched the Buddha's light, they were blown away.
After one round, the Buddha's light weakened by less than one third!
Nezha was shocked and realized that he had underestimated Tathagata, so he quickly poured all his magical power into the Fire Spear.
boom!
The moment the flaming spear came into contact with the Buddha's light, a dazzling light burst out, illuminating the sky and the earth in a blazing white.
The aftermath of the magic power surged out, and the void was like a piece of damp kraft paper, with wrinkles appearing.
After a moment.
Nezha kept holding the gun and pointed forward, rushing out from the dazzling light.
This time, he won!
But, Tathagata just waved his hand casually, and he had already used almost all the magic weapons.
Brush! Brush! Brush! Brush!
At this moment, dozens of Buddha lights connected into one and swept towards him.
“Well done!”
Nezha shouted loudly, not afraid at all. He waved the fire spear in his hand repeatedly, and a dazzling light burst out around him.
Buzz!
A lotus shadow suddenly appeared around Nezha, crystal clear and dazzling.
Half of it is green, sacred, pure and full of vitality; the other half is gray, pale and empty, filled with death.
The two completely different auras completely merged together, constantly rotating to form a yin and yang ball, emitting waves of vast and terrifying aura.
"The lotus body is actually the Precious Lotus Lantern..."
Tathagata was startled, showing surprise and astonishment for the first time, and then he understood everything in an instant: "Life and death change, and fortune and disaster depend on each other. It is really mysterious!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Fire Spear collided with the Buddha's light again, and the interweaving of life and death erupted with unimaginable destructive power, which actually shattered the Buddha's light in an instant.
"Tathagata! Take my shot!"
Nezha was wrapped in the Hun Tian Ling, stepped on the Wind Fire Wheel, and stabbed the Fire Spear in his hand directly at Tathagata's chest.
The lotus shadow shrouding his body shrank back into his body and transformed into two intersecting rays of light, one blue and one gray, which spread from the gun body to the tip of the gun, like two dragons playing with a pearl, stirring up the entire world.
"Namo Amitabha." Tathagata clasped his hands together, as if giving up resistance, and sat there quietly.
The distance between him and the Fire Spear kept getting closer, closer, and closer...
But, he could never touch Tathagata at all!
That half-foot distance seemed like a world apart!
No matter how hard Nezha struggled forward, no matter how powerful the Fire Spear was, he was always just a little short!
"What's going on!"
Nezha's face showed shock and disbelief, and the momentum he had gathered quickly faded.
The first time is the best, the second is the worst, the third is the worst!
Not to mention, Nezha has charged forward countless times but has never been able to achieve success!
At this time, Tathagata took action!
He formed a demon-subduing seal with his right hand and slapped Nezha.
What seems so close to Nezha is just a short distance to him!
Nezha only felt an indescribable oppressive force coming towards him, as if Tathagata's palm covered the entire world, and an extreme sense of crisis arose from the bottom of his heart.
Nezha did not dare to hesitate for a moment. He drew his gun and flew backwards, narrowly avoiding the seal.
It was obvious that Tathagata didn't want to let Nezha go just like that, and he used the Buddha's hand seal to slap Nezha again.
Nezha flew at least dozens of miles, but these dozens of miles seemed nothing in front of Tathagata.
His palm only swung forward less than half a meter, and it had already crossed the space and arrived in front of Nezha.
Nezha's pupils suddenly shrank. It was impossible to dodge, so he had to put away the gun and hold it horizontally in front of him, ready to take the attack head-on.
But at this moment, the Buddha's hand seal in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Nezha was stunned and looked towards Tathagata, but saw that Li Anran's palm had already reached Tathagata.
Li Anran used the power of Heaven and Earth, his body was a million feet tall, and every move he made brought about thundering hurricanes. His palm was like a continent made of white jade, covering the heaven and earth.
However, when Li Anran's palm reached in front of Tathagata, it returned to its normal size.
Nezha was stunned by the strange changes between the extremely large and the extremely small, and he couldn't help but gasp!
Tathagata's attainments in the avenue of space are truly incredible!
Space in his hands is like a toy, which he can manipulate and play with at will!
Bang!
The Buddha's hand seal collided with Li Anran's palm, and the terrifying power turned into a circle of ripples visible to the naked eye and spread out.
Wherever it passed, there were cracks in space, like broken glass.
From Nezha's perspective, the range covered by this space crack is only a few meters in radius centered on the intersection of the two palms.
But you have to know that where the two palms intersected, Tathagata used his great magical power to transform the palm that was tens of thousands of feet long into normal size.
This area of several meters in radius is actually several million feet in radius!
The two palms remained frozen in mid-air for seven or eight seconds before suddenly separating.
Li Anran's huge body took several steps back before he could steady himself again. Every step he took made the earth tremble, leaving behind huge pits like abysses.
Tathagata's body also leaned back, and the golden lotus of merit flew backwards for dozens of miles before stopping.
Both of them changed their expressions, and they couldn't hide the surprise in their eyes.
Apart from the Zhuxian Formation, Li Anran’s strongest weapon is his physical body.
With the blessing of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts, the Nine-Transformation Original Arts and various additional bonus attributes, he has surpassed those ancient great witches and is approaching the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
The Law of Heaven and Earth is not a trick, but a real way to enhance the strength of the physical body!
The Witch Clan was able to fight the Demon Clan evenly despite being at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, because they relied on their ability to control the laws of nature and the earth, and to defeat many enemies alone!
But now, Tathagata was actually on par with him in the field he was best at, when he used the Dharma Heaven and Earth to exert his full strength!
Li Anran was naturally shocked.
And the shock in Tathagata's heart was just as great as Li Anran's!
How many years has he been practicing, and how many years has Li Anran been practicing?
What is his identity and what is Li Anran’s identity?
Before coming, Tathagata didn't take Li Anran and Nezha seriously at all.
The only thing he was worried about was the disturbance caused by Li Anran and Nezha in the Mengjie. Were they acting on their own, or was Taiyi Tianzun supporting them from behind?
From the story of the true and false Monkey King to the later story of the Golden-winged Roc, to the story of the Dragon King of Jinghe River and the story of the King of Inspiration.
Although Taiyi Tianzun has always said that it was Li Anran, Nezha, and Yang Jian who did it out of their own will without knowing that the journey to the West was a plan set up by the gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms to deal with the catastrophe.
But, Tathagata didn’t really believe it!
It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but if it happens every time, it's too much of a coincidence!
And coincidences are often the result of careful planning!
Just like he plotted against Sun Wukong back then!
Therefore, after Guanyin was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for ten days because of the incident with the King of Inspiration, Tathagata issued a decree strictly ordering Buddhists not to disobey the Heavenly Court, so as to avoid giving Yang Jian and others any handles and reasons to cause trouble.
The effect is very significant.
In recent years, Buddhism and Taoism have lived in peace and no major conflicts have occurred.
As a result, today, Li Anran and Nezha sneaked into the Lingjiu Cave in the Great Snow Mountain and destroyed the Mengjie.
Tathagata knows better than anyone what the situation is in the Meng Realm!
Judging from Nezha's temper and Li Anran's style of doing things over the years, if they discovered the situation in the Meng Realm, they would most likely not be able to resist taking action to rescue those wronged souls.
But how do they know the situation in the Mongolian world?
Without knowing the situation in the Mongolian Realm, they had no reason to go to so much trouble to sneak into the Lingjiu Cave in the Great Snow Mountain!
No matter how you look at it, it seems like they are deliberately causing trouble for Lingshan!
Mengjie is just another excuse!
Tathagata was very angry when Mengjie was destroyed, but he was even more angry because Xuanmen actually treated him as a weak and vulnerable fool!
For the sake of the overall situation, he endured and gave in again and again.
However, Xuanmen kept pressing forward with such a high-sounding yet ridiculous excuse. He was really asking for too much and had no idea what was good for him!
It was for this reason that Tathagata decided to take action personally and teach Li Anran and Nezha a lesson.
Unexpectedly, it was discovered that Nezha's lotus body was actually transformed from the Precious Lotus Lantern, and now the two Precious Lotus Lanterns have been combined into one. His aptitude and potential for cultivation are no worse than those of Guanyin and Manjusri, the former second-generation disciples of the Chan teaching.
Then, he discovered that the prison god Li Anran was countless times more exaggerated than Nezha or even Yang Jian!
Nezha and Yang Jian both came from extraordinary backgrounds and were carefully cultivated by the Chan sect for tens of thousands of years.
Where is Li Anran?
Hundreds of years ago, he was just a casual cultivator from the mortal world who had just ascended to heaven, and his job was the hardest, most tiring and most hopeless job as a jailer in the Heavenly Prison.
But now, not only has he broken through to the Golden Immortal level, his physical body is even comparable to his own six-foot-tall golden body!
This Li Anran must have some big secret and opportunity!
Tathagata stared at Li Anran, and he couldn't explain the greed that was rising up in his mind, but he was very curious about what secrets Li Anran had.
On the other hand, Li Anran also realized that the Tathagata in front of him was not the Tathagata's real body, but his golden body.
He had seen the scene of Tathagata and Kong Xuan fighting in Guanyin's life story. Although Tathagata's physical strength was not bad, it was impossible for him to reach this level.
Li Anran was no longer surprised.
The power of the 10-foot-tall golden body is directly proportional to the incense and vows it condenses!
As the Buddha of Buddhism, the power of incense and vows condensed in Tathagata can be said to be the greatest in the three realms!
He could shake Tathagata's golden body, and if it got out, it would be enough to shock the three realms!
Li Anran realized that it would be difficult for him to gain any advantage with his physical body alone, so he shook his body, stopped using his magical powers that were consuming a huge amount of energy, and returned to his original size.
"Li Anran, are you okay?" Nezha thought Li Anran was injured, so he stepped forward and asked with concern.
"fine."
Li Anran patted Nezha on the shoulder to signal him not to worry, then turned to look at Tathagata and said, "Buddha Tathagata, when I left the Vulture Cave, I had already informed my master about the Mengjie incident..."
Before Li Anran finished speaking, he saw a seven-colored stream of light spinning around him. His expression suddenly changed and he cried out, "Not good!"
He didn't care about anything else and pulled Nezha to fly above his head. This time he didn't even use the Vajra File, but directly activated the Zhuxian Sword in his body, bursting out a Zhuxian sword energy.
Phew!
The Buddhist robe that could block the Vajra File seemed vulnerable in front of the sword energy of Zhu Xian. It was cut in an instant and flew back into Tathagata's hands.
However, there was no blue sky, white clouds, sun, moon, stars or city outside. Instead, it was pitch black, empty and endless.
Although Nezha had practiced for a long time, his knowledge was far less than that of Li Anran, who had a book of punishment for evildoers. He asked, "Li Anran, where is this?"
"Chaos outside the sky!" Li Anran looked solemn.
No one knew what method Tathagata used, but in the blink of an eye he brought them away from the Three Realms and into the chaos outside the sky.
Even if Taiyi Tianzun could find them, it would still take some time.
More importantly, this represents Tathagata’s attitude!
Show no mercy, hold back, and take them down even if it means offending the Xuanmen!
