Tathagata's expression became more and more solemn.

Only in this way can he feel a little relieved.

If there is indeed a time wormhole in Shachen's cave, then it can explain everything.

Hiding in the cave and not going out, Shachen practiced in the time wormhole. One day passed outside, and one year passed inside him.

500 years have passed outside, and at least 180,000 years have passed inside.

But, just thinking about it seems unlikely.

First of all, the conditions for the appearance of a time wormhole are very harsh. Secondly, there is not enough divine power and cultivation resources in the time wormhole, so it is not easy to improve.

The most important thing is that Tathagata cannot tell how much Shachen has aged. For example, the last time he saw him, only about 100 years had passed.

If there really is a time wormhole, and Shachen practiced in it, then at least tens of thousands of years would have passed.

In other words, the assumption that there is a time wormhole in the Sand and Dust Cave is not valid. Then he was able to cultivate his great supernatural powers to perfection so quickly, and integrate them with various magic weapons, and his cultivation did not fall behind at all.

How terrifying is Shachen’s talent, energy, and potential.

After thinking carefully, Tathagata discovered that there was no time in Shachen's cave. After the wormhole, his determination to follow the Tao was once again shaken.

Moreover, this time when he took action, he directly exerted the power of Mahayana space, and the entire space world was shocked.

However, no matter how powerful his spatial magical powers were, they could be easily dissolved by Shachen.

Moreover, Tathagata has already seen that Shachen's spatial power has also reached the Mahayana realm and is about to enter the great perfection.

This was something Tathagata could not accept.

He already knew that Shachen had the power of space, but at that time he was only at the small success level. Not long after that, Shachen's power of space was no less than his.

The most terrifying thing is that Tathagata also discovered that Shachen’s control over space was superb, wonderful, and imaginative.

Not only that, Shachen's strength is also terrifying, and he has mastered it to an unparalleled level.

What Tathagata is most proud of is his power of space, followed by his powerful physical body.

Outsiders all praised his magical powers, saying they were unparalleled in the world and he had no rivals except for the saints.

But in fact, what Tathagata is proud of is his spatial power and physical strength. His spatial power has been greatly improved. As long as he takes one more step, he can be on par with the ancient spatial god Dijiang.

Secondly, his physical strength is extremely terrifying and is also close to perfection. He can turn mountains and rivers into ashes with the snap of his fingers.

Everyone thinks that strength is not particularly important, especially when one reaches an extremely high level of cultivation, they will find that strength is too single and they will easily suffer losses in battle.

After all, when masters fight each other, the outcome can often be decided in an instant, and life and death can be decided in the blink of an eye.

Having brute force alone is enough, even if you can carry mountains and cross seas, and can easily control the Five Mountains, but if you cannot get close to your opponent, you will be beaten to death.

Having all the strength but being unable to advance, and being unable to fully utilize one's strength, is ultimately not a good thing.

It's impossible for everyone to be like Sun Wukong, fighting in close combat with the golden cudgel. That would be too cheap.

However, Tathagata always believed that strength can defeat skill, so he has been practicing to cultivate his strength and hone his body to perfection.

When fighting with others, he has great supernatural powers when attacking from a distance, and he also has endless power and an immortal body when fighting up close.

He can attack from both near and far, and coupled with his superb spatial magical powers, he has the title of invincible in the same realm.

Even now, having reached the sub-saint realm, he is comparable to saints and has surpassed many sub-saints in the past.

Tathagata has enough confidence and faith, and the source of his confidence is that his strength is too great.

Strength has always been considered by Tathagata to be a very reliable and promising means. When a person's magic power is exhausted and hand-to-hand combat is needed, strength becomes invaluable.

Secondly, some magic weapons really require close combat. Without sufficient strength, it is impossible to shake the flying magic weapons and magical powers.

After all, there is a time lag before using great magical powers, and there is a cooling time between each magical power. Only with endless strength and endless power can one continuously use it to continuously cause oppression.

Shachen, holding a mountain-splitting axe, put tremendous pressure on Tathagata. Even Tathagata's master's Tathagata Palm was split in half by his axe.

This requires strength, and Shachen can chop out one axe after another, but Tathagata cannot use the Tathagata Palm one palm after another.

That's the gap, that's the difference.

Tathagata's face became more and more ugly. What he was most proud of was the power of space and strength, but it seemed that they were insufficient and inferior to the sand and dust.

This dealt a heavy blow to Tathagata's self-esteem and his determination to pursue the Tao, but he still gritted his teeth and continued to attack, because he knew that if he showed any signs of cowardice or his determination to pursue the Tao wavered, it would affect the ancient Buddha Dipamkara.

The ancient Buddha Ran Deng was a guy who changed his attitude according to the situation. The reason he stayed to fight was entirely because he had Tathagata in front of him, otherwise he would have run away long ago.

Tathagata and the other two joined forces to fight against Shachen, but were still suppressed by Shachen alone.

No matter whether it was magical powers, magic weapons, strength, spatial force or spirit, in short, Tathagata and the other two were no match for Sand City and were suppressed.

Tathagata has used the power of merit and wants to rely on the ability of a saint to completely suppress the dust, but he finds that even though he has mastered the merit and possesses faith, he still cannot defeat the dust.

Tathagata was nearly furious and collapsed. He roared, "How could you be so strong? Only a hundred years have passed, and you've already caught up with me and even surpassed me."

Tathagata said unwillingly, "That's absolutely impossible. A person's talent, potential, and energy are all limited. How can you bridge the gap?"

Sha Chen chuckled and said, "I can only tell you that my talent is beyond your imagination, and my future is definitely not something you can catch up with."

"You are nothing more than a stepping stone on my road to growth, and even more so a passer-by in my life. What qualifications do you have to consider me as your opponent? What qualifications do you have to compare yourself with me?"

Tathagata's eyes were gloomy, and his heart of Taoism was somewhat broken at this moment.

Shachen's words dealt a huge blow to him and hurt his self-esteem and dignity.

The ancient Buddha Ran Deng became very nervous and worried when he saw this. He had originally hoped that Tathagata could join hands with him to defeat Shachen, but he did not expect that Tathagata's heart of Taoism had already collapsed long ago.

So he also wanted to escape from here.

Yang Jian, Liu'er Mihou, San Shengmu, the Spider Spirit and others who were watching the battle in the cave were all shocked and stunned.
