Tathagata and the ancient Buddha Ran Deng joined forces to attack, one in front and one behind, attacking from the front and back.
Although the two had been fighting openly and covertly before, and even had a hostile relationship, they now cooperate with each other very well and have a tacit understanding.
It’s just a pity that their opponent is dust.
Shachen instantly displayed his supernatural powers and controlled the heavens and the earth.
With full firepower, an extremely terrifying aura burst out from his whole body.
Behind him are the wings of the God of Wind, Fire and Thunder, and his eyes emit a terrifying divine light. One eye is the eye of breaking delusion, and the other eye is the eye of the past and the future.
His arms were wrapped in thunder and flames, as well as violent storms, sand and gravel, and in his hands he held all kinds of terrifying and rare magic weapons.
It was the first time that the ancient Buddha Ran Deng saw Sha Chen at full power. He had never had the chance to fight with Sha Chen before and did not know that Sha Chen’s strength was so terrifying.
Now that he had witnessed it with his own eyes, the sense of oppression was overwhelming, making him feel heavy in the heart.
If it weren't for the Buddha Tathagata taking the lead, he would probably turn around and run away now, not wanting to fight at all.
In fact, Tathagata also felt a huge sense of oppression, and the aura emitted by the sand and dust was even stronger than his.
Although it was not much, it proved that Shachen's strength was above his. He found this a bit unacceptable and was very angry.
But Shachen is indeed stronger than him. Although his cultivation is not as good as his, Shachen's total mana is greater than his, and has reached the level of Zhunti Saint.
Secondly, there are the various great supernatural powers mastered by Shachen, which are extremely powerful and terrifying, and have all been cultivated to the state of great perfection.
Tathagata's magical powers are also very complex, and he has mastered them very comprehensively, and his level is not low.
But compared to Shachen, he is still a long way behind.
First of all, his magical powers are not as many as Shachen's, and their quality is not as high. Secondly, not many of his magical powers have been cultivated to the state of great perfection, most of them are only at the level of great success.
It’s not that Tathagata’s talent is not good enough, nor is it that his understanding is not good enough.
It is purely the Tathagata's choice of the best to practice. With so many magical powers, he naturally chooses the more powerful one, the better one and the one with more growth potential to practice.
Not everyone is like Shachen, who can directly cultivate to the Mahayana realm after obtaining a supernatural power, and can cultivate to the great perfection with a little effort.
Others need to spend countless time and energy to cultivate a magical power.
Simply speaking, it took Tathagata 30,000 years to cultivate the Tathagata Palm to the state of great perfection. This period took up a lot of his time and energy, and consumed countless cultivation resources, which led to his current achievements.
If he had used all the 30,000 years he spent practicing Tathagata Palm to improve his cultivation, perhaps he could have laid a more solid foundation and reached a higher level faster.
However, practitioners never just practice to improve their skills. They must develop in an all-round way. Not only does the soul need to be improved, but also the various supernatural powers and magic weapons that they can master need to be polished.
Therefore, mastering magic weapons and improving supernatural powers will consume a lot of time, energy and cultivation resources, which will naturally lead to a decline in cultivation level.
It is very rare to find someone who can plan the time for various types of cultivation and do it the same day for 100,000 years. It can even be said that there is only one in ten thousand.
Because you will encounter various situations during the practice, not everyone can just hide in a cave like Shachen and practice.
They need to obtain resources, they need worldly wisdom, they need worldly experience, and they need stability in their spiritual hearts.
All kinds of situations will happen, which leads to many changes on the path of cultivation. Some people cannot improve step by step, some people may die halfway, and some people give up halfway through their cultivation because they feel it is difficult.
Therefore, getting older does not necessarily mean you become stronger.
The reason why Tathagata was able to come from behind and win was that his talent, strength, understanding, potential, resources, perseverance, and heart of Tao were better than others.
Tathagata has been able to endure poverty, loneliness, and a firm heart for the Tao, and has been practicing till now. But now, facing the dust in front of him, his heart for the Tao almost collapsed.
It’s not that Shachen is much stronger than him, although Shachen used all his strength to make Tathagata feel oppressed and under great pressure.
But Tathagata did not think that he would lose. He even felt that if the two of them joined forces to deal with Shachen, there was still a chance of winning.
What almost made his Daoist faith collapse was that Sha Chen had cultivated all his magical powers to the state of great perfection, while his cultivation level had not fallen behind and was even improving rapidly.
Not only that, Shachen used the magic weapons in his hands as easily as his own arms, as if they had been working together for countless years and had already developed a telepathic connection, and could hit whatever he pointed at.
This is incredible and completely unimaginable.
After all, to achieve all this, it takes countless time and energy. Tathagata is an experienced person and has the most say.
Even though Shachen is full of energy, he has only been in business for a short time. Not to mention that it takes time for his cultivation to reach its current level, Shachen has no time to practice his magical powers or hone his magic weapons.
But in fact, Shachen's magical powers have been cultivated to the state of great perfection, and his magical powers are complicated, and each one is very difficult to practice.
Just taking the 72 transformations and 36 transformations as an example, it took Sun Wukong three years to master the 72 transformations, and it took him a hundred years to cultivate the 72 transformations to the minor success level.
It would probably take him 500 years to fully cultivate the 72 transformations to the highest level.
Tathagata can be sure that Sun Wukong has not yet cultivated the seventy-two transformations to the state of great perfection.
However, only 500 years have passed since Shachen was trapped in the Quicksand River. Not only has he improved his cultivation from a small True Immortal to the current peak of cautiousness, he has also cultivated dozens of magical powers to the state of great perfection.
It is impossible to cultivate the seventy-two transformations alone to perfection in such a short time, not to mention that Shachen also has thirty-six transformations, the Three Flavors True Fire, the Jade Purity Divine Thunder and other complex and difficult to cultivate powerful magical powers.
There is also the Heaven-Splitting Palm, which is comparable to his Tathagata Palm, and they are also all perfect.
The fact that Tathagata's mentality has not completely collapsed is the reason why his determination in the Tao is so strong.
As for magic weapons, not to mention others, let’s just talk about the Three Holy Mothers’ Precious Lotus Lantern. It has only been two or three hundred years since the Three Holy Mothers obtained the Precious Lotus Lantern, and the Three Holy Mothers have not yet fully adapted to it.
However, the magic weapons in Shachen's hands, such as the banana fan, dragon ball, dragon binding rope, infinite flying ring, nine-dragon divine fire cover, etc., have all been fully run-in.
Where did he find the time and energy to do all this?
Could it be that there's a time wormhole inside Shachen's cave? If he cultivates for a year inside, only one day will have passed outside?
