At this moment, the Heavenly Buddha Venerable's expression changed. Only then did he realize that Zhou Xingdou probably hadn't even used half of his strength in the battle just now. The Thunder Emperor Finger, composed of heavenly punishment, was more than twice as powerful as it had been before.
Moreover, the black-purple spear burning with eerie dark flames was so sharp that nothing in the world could withstand it; space, void, and all tangible things that passed through its tip were pierced by the spear.
This power is definitely a supreme offensive divine ability that is even more powerful than the Thunder Finger, yet Zhou Xingdou did not use it in his battle against the Crown Prince of the Underworld, probably because he was intentionally holding back!
Even now, Liu Dazhu, sitting in the Sword Domain seat, was equally astonished. He suddenly realized why his senior had stopped him from making a move.
This Zhou Xingdou is truly extraordinary; the Prince of the Underworld just now did not force out Zhou Xingdou's true fighting power at all!
If I had volunteered for the battle because of a misjudgment at the time, then I would probably be the one bearing such a fierce attack now.
At this moment, Liu Dazhu looked at Wanfo and shook his head, sighing:
"With the three Heavenly Punishment Thunder Fingers and that strange spear, the Buddha Seal of the Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas has been broken, and he is likely to be defeated."
The old man sitting at the head of the Sword Domain, carrying a divine sword, saw the cloudiness in his eyes recede slightly, revealing a sharp glint as he looked at Liu Dazhu, his voice extremely hoarse:
"Watch closely, that Buddhist disciple won't be defeated so quickly."
As the elder of the Sword Domain had predicted, he faced three Thunder Emperor Finger strikes that stood like towering pillars, pressing down on his head.
Facing directly the all-seeing, sharp, and fiercely burning Netherflame spear of the God of the Underworld, which was aimed straight at his chest.
Despite enduring the overwhelming lightning strikes coming from all directions, the Buddha's disciple showed no sign of panic; instead, he remained calm and composed.
He slowly and deliberately extended his hands, clasped them together in front of his chest, then closed his eyes, which shimmered with brilliant golden light, and sighed softly:
"Amitabha!"
A Buddhist chant suddenly rang out, its sound vast and powerful, like a resounding bell, yet also melodious and profound like a morning bell or evening drum. Its majestic power caused the surrounding space to tremble violently, stirring up towering waves.
The Buddhist chants transformed into countless Buddhist mantras, and the dense golden Buddhist scriptures spread out like ripples, annihilating the endless lightning punishment that had surrounded them, causing the Thunder Emperor's Finger and the Netherworld God's Spear to pause for a moment in front of them.
But in that instant, the golden sun behind the Buddha suddenly burst forth with dazzling light of Buddhist enlightenment, as if it were about to illuminate the entire world.
In the blink of an eye, the golden sun transformed into a huge, majestic, and awe-inspiring golden Buddha statue.
The golden Buddha statue pointed one hand to the sky and the other to the earth. A powerful will of being the only one in heaven and earth suddenly revived from the Buddha statue like a torrent!
"It's actually the Mahavairocana Sutra! This is a secret technique kept secret by the Mahavairocana Zen Temple, separate from the Sutra of the Three Worlds Tathagatas. It can be called the number one combat technique in Buddhism!"
Among the major powers of the Primordial Dao Domain, there were indeed discerning individuals who immediately recognized the methods of the Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
This caused the Netherworld Protector, who had remained unmoved even when the Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas revealed that he possessed the Sutra of No Birth in the Future, to suddenly look at the Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas with a hint of hostility.
Because the Sutra of No Birth belongs to the entire Buddhist community, but the True Sutra of Great Sun Tathagata belongs exclusively to the Buddhist lineage of Great Sun Zen Temple, it is undoubtedly somewhat conspicuous in the face of the Underworld Palace that destroyed Great Sun Zen Temple.
Not only others, but even the Heavenly Buddha Venerable in the Buddha Realm, when he saw the Great Sun Tathagata True Scripture being performed by the Buddha's Son of Ten Thousand Buddhas, showed a look of surprise, as if he did not know that the Buddha's Son of Ten Thousand Buddhas had mastered this scripture.
But that surprise instantly turned into joy, and the worry and melancholy that had been between the Heavenly Buddha's brows vanished in that instant.
The people of the Buddhist realm know all too well how powerful those who have mastered the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra are. In the eyes of the Heavenly Buddha Venerable, Zhou Xingdou is destined to be defeated, and the treasure land of the Great Yan Dynasty is already in his grasp!
At this moment, the Buddha's disciple, who had been keeping his eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened his golden eyes, and Buddhist truths flashed through them like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, a dazzling golden sun phantom replaced the original mantra, burning fiercely in his pupils.
Zhou Xingdou also looked at Wanfo Buddha with a hint of curiosity, eager to know what other tricks this ancient freak had up his sleeve.
At that moment, the Buddha disciple, whose hands were clasped together, moved. His movements, which appeared slow but were actually incredibly swift, were as natural and fluid as flowing clouds and water.
At the same time, the enormous Vairocana Buddha statue behind him also activated with a roar, following the actions of the Buddha's disciple. The statue emitted a dazzling light, like a rising sun, illuminating the entire space. Under this light, everything appeared sacred and solemn.
For a moment, the Thunder Emperor's Finger, which had been hovering above the head of the Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas, and the Spear of the God of the Underworld, which had been stationary at his chest, seemed to sense the influence of some kind of power.
They first emitted a low humming sound, as if resonating with the Buddha's light. Then, before everyone's very eyes, these two decisive supernatural powers were swallowed up and dissipated by the Great Sun Buddha's light without warning.
But after completing all this, the Buddha's disciple did not show the slightest joy. On the contrary, a deep sense of helplessness and bitterness appeared on his face. He gazed silently at Zhou Xingdou and let out another long sigh:
"Zhou Daozi really knows how to hide his true abilities. This humble monk has no choice but to reveal his trump card."
Unless it was an emergency, the disciple of Wanfo Temple would really not want to use the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra, since he had not passed this sutra on to Wanfo Temple.
Since his resurrection from the Primordial Divine Source, he has kept this scripture hidden from Wanfo Temple, all for the sake of one day being able to reopen the Da Ri Zen Temple.
But at this moment he had no choice but to use it, because if he lost this battle, not only would the Sutra of No Birth fall into the hands of others, but the ruins of the Great Sun Zen Temple would also be lost.
Upon hearing the words of the Buddha's disciple, which sounded like he had gotten a good deal but was still acting innocent, Zhou Xingdou did not show any anger. Instead, he said with great interest:
“Interesting. Do you want to raise the stakes? If you add this Great Sun Tathagata Sutra, I can add a Zhou family treasure trove to the bet!”
For Zhou Xingdou, whether Wanfo Buddha has any trump cards or not, the outcome is the same. If he can get Wanfo Buddha to raise his stakes again, that would be the best outcome. Although he doesn't like Buddhism, he is still very interested in top-tier martial arts techniques.
But the Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas shook his head and smiled faintly:
"No need. How could I possibly take advantage of Daozi again? It's enough to take back the original site of Da Ri Zen Temple today."
Before the words were even finished, the Vairocana Buddha statue behind the Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas moved instantly!
