Upon hearing this, the Buddha was slightly taken aback, then said, "If I lose, I will submit to you, and from now on all Buddhist practitioners within the Buddha Heart Tower will revere you!"

"If I defeat you, you must bestow upon me the title of Great Emperor of Buddhism. What do you say?"

The Buddha's thinking was simple: the white-robed man before him possessed cultivation at the Venerable Emperor level, while he himself was only at the first level of the Venerable Emperor realm. He was confident that he could defeat the man.

After all, each breakthrough at the Venerable Emperor level requires countless years of cultivation, and the Buddha Venerable was certain that the other party could not possibly be a cultivator at the second level of the Venerable Emperor realm.

Furthermore, the position of the Buddhist Emperor is granted by the Great Dao of the Buddhist Realm, and this position can be transferred from the Buddhist Emperor to others.

The Buddha valued this very much!

Once he becomes the Great Emperor of Buddhism, he can then attack the Buddha Emperor Heaven, kill the Buddha Emperor, unify the Buddhist realm, and make millions of Buddhist cultivators submit to him.

Kuafu was unaware of all his plans, but even if he had known, he would have simply smiled and felt no guilt whatsoever.

Why?

Because this Buddha is only at the first level of the Venerable Emperor realm, while Kuafu's realm is far higher than his, defeating him only requires one move!

Of course, none of the onlookers knew about this; they were still looking on with anticipation, waiting for a great battle between the Buddha and Kuafu.

All that could be seen were countless cultivators, their bodies glowing, sitting upright or standing in the void, their gazes fixed on the figures of the Buddha and Kuafu.

Everyone knows that this will be an earth-shattering battle!

Because this is the Buddha statue in the Buddha Heart Pagoda, how earth-shattering will his actions be when he makes a move?

"Alright, go ahead and make your move."

Kuafu stood with his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.

With a burning fighting spirit in his eyes, the Buddha suddenly took a step forward, his whole body radiating Buddhist light. He threw the prayer beads in his hand toward Kuafu, which crushed endless void along the way and resounded with countless Buddhist sounds.

The rosary split into nine, each transforming into an enormous, towering rosary, imbued with Buddhist scriptures and profound truths, and enveloped everything around it.

The nine prayer beads, covering the sky and seemingly spanning billions of miles of the heavens, caused countless beings to feel a sharp pain in their eyes, as if they were not their own.

Countless living beings retreated hastily, otherwise they would have all exploded and died here!

This shows just how awe-inspiring the Buddha's spiritual attainments and Buddhist teachings were!

However, to everyone's astonishment, the man in white stood motionless in the void, his hands still behind his back, his face calm and composed, as if the nine prayer beads thrown at him were nothing at all.

"Master, be careful!"

Qi Jianzhu called out in concern.

Kuafu smiled faintly, and with a wave of his sleeve, a golden light burst forth, sweeping across the entire sky. In an instant, thousands of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas sat solemnly in the heavens.

His appearance was solemn and dignified, and his Buddha-light soared into the sky.

All the Buddhas in the sky simultaneously unleashed hand seals, slamming them down on the nine prayer beads. In an instant, a tremendous roar resounded across billions of miles of void.

Multicolored precious light intertwined intensely.

"Boom!"

A series of deafening sounds rang out, and countless beings were astonished to find that the nine prayer beads were all annihilated by the methods of the Buddhas in the sky, like ants being crushed by a lion, without the slightest effort.

Everyone was stunned!

The man in white simply waved his hand, and he summoned countless Buddhas transformed from the ultimate Buddhist principles. My God, how profound must his Buddhist cultivation be to accomplish all this?

The three eminent Buddhist monks stared in disbelief and utter shock at the Buddha, exclaiming, "Buddha, Great Emperor, you cannot defeat us!"

The Buddha's expression grew even more solemn. At this moment, he unleashed a move, which was easily shattered by his opponent, causing his heart to sink.

The opponent's cultivation level is definitely not just at the first level of the Venerable Emperor realm; it is probably even higher.

"Heavenly Buddha Hand!"

The Buddha stretched out one hand, and countless Buddhist principles transformed into runes that intertwined on his palm. Suddenly, his palm became as vast as the sun, moon, and stars, and he slammed it down fiercely towards Kuafu.

The vast expanse of space along the way emitted terrifying roars, a sight that seemed to be destroying the world.

Large, massive stars crashed down from the cosmos onto the earth, creating chasms comparable to the vastness of the universe.

This move is the Buddha's most powerful supernatural ability. This is the first time he has used it in nine hundred million years, and he has absolute confidence in it.

There's absolutely no way the opponent could survive that palm strike!

Even if he is the newly crowned Buddhist emperor.

"This is terrifying, let's go!"

Hundreds of millions of living beings were terrified and transformed into streaks of light, flying towards the sky, fearing that they would be hit by this giant hand and crushed to death!

Seeing the giant hand covering him, Kuafu pointed his fingers like a sword, circulating the Dao of Annihilation throughout his body. Suddenly, he pointed his sword finger at the giant hand of Buddha's light, and with a loud bang, the giant hand was destroyed.

The terrifying fluctuations of battle power tore apart the sky and the earth, and countless mountains and buildings were reduced to dust. Countless lives were annihilated by this sword energy of annihilation.

"No!"

The Buddha's body was sent flying, his flesh crushing massive ancient stars. His robes were stained with golden blood, and his face showed terror and shock.
