Chapter 412 -412: Immeasurable Buddha Nation (2nd Update!)
“Demon Monkey, your nature is so violent; if you do not convert to Buddhism and restrain yourself, you shall be a great scourge to this world one day!”
Tathagata Buddha sat still, serenely seated upon the nine-tiered Merit Golden Lotus, quietly watching the Six-Eared Macaque bombard the Buddha’s Light Shield He had emitted, His face exuding compassion. However, the Six-Eared Macaque felt increasingly nauseated the more he watched.
“Great scourge my head! You bald donkey, always spouting mercy from your mouth—where was your intervention when your Buddhist Sect tried to kill me to the last? It’s all fake compassion, sheer hypocrisy!”
The Six-Eared Macaque thought back to when Manjusri Bodhisattva had forcibly tried to take him to the Western Heaven Spiritual Mountain. It was for his sake that Sun Wukong had intervened and killed Manjusri Bodhisattva. As a result, he had to take a direct hit from the Tathagata Palm of the Tathagata Buddha, passing through space, which left him severely injured and unconscious for a long time.
Now, this bald donkey was clearly only acting because the Jade Emperor had promised him some kind of benefit. Spouting about converting to Buddhism with every breath, such hypocrisy was truly making the Six-Eared Macaque utterly nauseated. He would rather die than ever surrender to the Buddhist Sect!
“So obstinate and ignorant, refusing to realize your folly! Well then, let this seat help you out, so you may come to enlightenment sooner!”
...
Sighing, Tathagata Buddha gently shook His head, reaching out toward the Six-Eared Macaque. Suddenly His palm stretched and enlarged significantly, as if it was about to engulf the entire world, and the Six-Eared Macaque felt an immense pressure from all directions, finding his body involuntarily falling onto Tathagata Buddha’s giant hand.
“Heaven-Shocking Domain!”
With danger imminent, the Six-Eared Macaque dared not be careless, promptly initiating the Heaven-Shocking Domain. A spherical wave of force emanated from the Heaven-supporting Iron Staff, instantly expanding to several yards in diameter. This was the Six-Eared Macaque’s Heaven-Shocking Domain, which had reached the second phase of control.
As soon as the Heaven-Shocking Domain was released, the Six-Eared Macaque felt the pressure lighten drastically, freeing himself from the constraints. Just when he was about to be captured by Tathagata Buddha, he flashed out of grasp, leaping more than ten yards away, looking back at Tathagata Buddha with a face full of lingering fear.
Tathagata Buddha hardly moved, merely extending a palm, which left the Six-Eared Macaque feeling overwhelmed. If he hadn’t grasped the power of the Heaven-Shocking Domain, by now he would likely have fallen into the hands of Tathagata Buddha!
The power of the Heavenly Dao Saint is terrifying indeed!
“Domain power? Interesting!”
A hint of surprise flitted across Tathagata Buddha’s eyes, which then turned greedy as He regarded the Six-Eared Macaque. Tathagata Buddha had always wanted to subdue the Six-Eared Macaque, to make him the protector for the Immeasurable Buddha Nation during the coming great calamities and for the propagation of Buddhism during the Scripture Seeking in the West. Unfortunately, he was thwarted by Sun Wukong and had not succeeded, even resulting in the loss of Manjusri Bodhisattva’s life.
Later, Tathagata Buddha focused on Sun Wukong, who had been cast down into the Endless Abyss by the Jade Emperor, leading the Immortals and Gods, his fate unknown. Today, seizing the opportunity, He was determined to bring the Six-Eared Macaque back to Spiritual Mountain—under the radiance of Buddha’s Light and the infusion of Buddha’s chant, He did not believe the macaque would refuse to convert!
“Immeasurable Buddha Nation!”
With a mere thought, a ring of Buddha’s Light dispersed from Tathagata Buddha, instantly enveloping the Six-Eared Macaque within it. The Six-Eared Macaque felt as though he had fallen into an endless Buddhist Kingdom, where he saw nothing but towering Buddhist temples and heard chants of Buddhism coming from every direction, causing great alarm within him.
“What kind of Domain Power is this?”
Having witnessed Sun Wukong’s Heaven-Breaking Domain and felt the Slaying Immortal Domain of Ran Deng Buddha, the Six-Eared Macaque knew well their might. However, in comparison to the Domain released by Tathagata Buddha at this moment, they were but novices before a master, not even of the same level!
Within the Domain of the Immeasurable Buddha Nation created by Tathagata Buddha, the Six-Eared Macaque couldn’t even sense the existence of Tathagata Buddha. He couldn’t distinguish north, south, east, or west, and all he saw were Buddhist temples, all he heard were the sounds of Buddha—they filled his senses to the point that he felt dizzy, his eyelids heavy as if he was about to fall into a deep sleep.
“Six-Eared, wake up! Wake up now!”
Suddenly, a loud shout as if from the edge of the sky pierced the Six-Eared Macaque’s ears, jolting him awake. Only then did he realize he was unwittingly falling towards the sweeping sleeves of Tathagata Buddha. Cold sweat broke out and he hurriedly summoned his Somersault Cloud to leap and flee, finally stopping dozens of feet away, his body soaked with cold sweat.
That was a close call, nearly captured by Tathagata Buddha within his large sleeves. The Domain he wielded was truly frightening!
“Six-Eared, are you alright?”
Erlang God Yang Jian and a few others flew to the side of the Six-Eared Macaque, asking with concern. It was Yang Jian who had just used his Heavenly Eye to see the Six-Eared Macaque’s predicament within the Immeasurable Buddha Nation, and by leveraging the Heavenly Eye, he transmitted his voice into it and woke the Six-Eared Macaque.
“I’m fine, thank you, Brother Yang!”
The Six-Eared Macaque was still somewhat shaken and thanked Yang Jian with a cupped fist salute. Had it not been for Yang Jian’s shout startling him awake, he would have already fallen into the sleeves of Tathagata Buddha, likely slipping into unconsciousness, not knowing when he would awaken.
“No need to be so polite!”
Erlang God Yang Jian waved his hand and stared intently at Tathagata Buddha. The Divine Light flickered violently in his third eye as he continued to observe the Domain of Immeasurable Buddha Nation. Unlike ordinary Domain Power, Tathagata Buddha’s Immeasurable Buddha Nation seemed to be a separate nation entirely. One could feel lost within it, easily ensnared and captured by Tathagata Buddha.
Could this be the power of one who has reached the Saint Realm of Heavenly Dao?
“Tathagata Buddha is too powerful! None of us can match him in single combat; we must join forces to stand against him!”
Erlang God Yang Jian declared solemnly. He was acutely aware of Tathagata Buddha’s renown. During the Divine Enthronement battle, Tathagata Buddha was the strongest disciple of the Jie Sect, Daoist Multi-Treasure, who could crush a Daluo Golden Immortal’s skull with a single strike of the Seal of Heaven-Subduing. Yet when it was used against him, at most it made him stagger slightly. Keep in mind, Daoist Multi-Treasure wasn’t like Erlang God Yang Jian who had cultivated the Eight-Nine Profound Skill and attained the Diamond Indestructible Body.
After becoming the Ancestral Buddha of the Western Heavenly Buddhist Sect, Tathagata Buddha’s strength had greatly increased. Since the Divine Enthronement battle, after so many years, Tathagata Buddha had been the only one to attain merits of the Immeasurable Buddhist Sect to Prove the Tao and Become a Saint. Moreover, his cultivation progressed daily, and he was already on track to catch up to seasoned powerhouses like the Three Purities.
His Domain of the Immeasurable Buddha Nation was on the verge of evolving into a world of its own. Reliant solely on Six-Eared Macaque was definitely not a match for Tathagata Buddha!
