Chapter 424: 424 Chapter: The Terrifying Dharma Body (Third Update!)

Luo Bai could not sit still any longer; he abruptly stood up and strode outside Water Curtain Cave Heaven.

“That’s right, we can’t just let Wukong fight this battle alone! That’s the Tathagata Buddha we’re talking about. We can’t just stand here doing nothing!”

Nezha the Third Prince also stood up, “No matter what you all think, I’m going to help Wukong with Luo Bai!”

“Count me in!”

Erlang God Yang Jian said mildly.

“I want to help too!”

...

In a moment, all the mighty ones above half-step Quasi-Saint had risen, echoing one after another.

“We definitely need to help, but we must plan properly this time; we can’t rush in like before!”

Leng Xuan nodded his head. Since they had seen Wukong was at a disadvantage, of course, they had no reason to stand idly by. However, rushing in as before was also inappropriate.

A peerless powerhouse of Heavenly Dao Saint Realm simply wouldn’t care whether he faced one person or a group—the numerical advantage meant nothing to Tathagata Buddha!

If those with insufficient strength charged forward, far from helping, a mere sweep of his sleeve would turn them to ash, utterly useless!

To truly assist Wukong, at the very least, they needed the cultivation of half-step Quasi-Saints capable of forming the Minor Zhou Tian Seven Extremes Battle Formation!

“It would be best if we could gather fourteen people to form the Great Zhou Tian Ten Directions Rotation Formation, which would give us a better chance of success!”

The Great Zhou Tian Ten Directions Rotation Formation originally required forty-nine people, seven groups of seven, but over the years, Leng Xuan had deeply studied the Path of Formations and repeatedly reduced the required number of formation members. Now, it was reduced to just fourteen people, with two Minor Zhou Tian Seven Extremes Battle Formations being able to merge into a Great Zhou Tian Ten Directions Rotation Formation.

The power of the Great Zhou Tian Ten Directions Rotation Formation far surpassed the Minor Zhou Tian Seven Extremes Battle Formation. Previously, Leng Xuan and others in the Minor Zhou Tian Seven Extremes Battle Formation had managed to resist the Tathagata Palm of Tathagata Buddha. If they could form the Great Zhou Tian Ten Directions Rotation Formation now, perhaps they could even force him to retreat!

However, gathering fourteen half-step Quasi-Saint or higher warriors was not so easy!

At Flower-Fruit Mountain, counting from the highest to lowest in cultivation were Candle Dragon Ao Tian, Ying Long Ying Tian, Luo Bai, Erlang God Yang Jian, Nezha the Third Prince, Bull Demon King, Six-Eared Macaque, Leng Xuan, and the Five Great Demon Kings, only these thirteen reached or exceeded the half-step Quasi-Saint level, just one person short!

“If only Old Brother Mu were here with us!”

The Six-Eared Macaque stomped his foot in frustration. The strength of Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan was also formidable. If he had returned to the Three Realms with them, they would have had the fourteen half-step Quasi-Saint or higher masters needed, but Mu Chenxuan was now in the Demonic Realm, far water cannot quench near thirst!

“Let me go!”

Through-Arm Ape Monkey Sun Wushuang stepped forward, “I have reached the brink of a breakthrough, having always wanted to solidify my foundation a bit more. Give me half a quarter of an hour, and I will break through immediately, then we can set up the formation and help our leader together!”

Among the younger generation of the Demon Clan from Flower-Fruit Mountain, Through-Arm Ape Monkey Sun Wushuang and Demon King Sun Tong had the greatest potential. Both were now at the Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm, but the combat power they demonstrated was in no way inferior to that of the quasi-saints. Hearing the words of Through-Arm Ape Monkey Sun Wushuang, Leng Xuan and the others exchanged glances and then nodded in agreement.

If it’s just half a quarter of an hour, being able to form the Great Zhou Tian Ten Directions Rotation Formation would indeed significantly increase their chances of victory compared to the Small Zhou Tian Seven Extremes Battle Formation!

In half a quarter of an hour, Sun Wukong could surely hold on.

Thereupon, Through-Arm Ape Monkey Sun Wushuang no longer delayed. He took two gourds of Battle-Winning Brew and entered the Heaven-Piercing Tower, going straight to the highest level, the ninth layer, where he consumed the Battle-Winning Brew and began his seclusion for a breakthrough. Great Dao Runes emerged from his body in circles, swirling around his body, as the pure stellar spiritual Qi in the ninth layer of the tower surged towards Through-Arm Ape Monkey Sun Wushuang under the guidance of the tower structure, pouring into his body like a whale swallowing water.

In the battlefield, Sun Wukong and Tathagata Buddha were still fiercely fighting. Sun Wukong’s breathing had already become more rapid. The recovery ability of the Chaotic Divine Body certainly far surpassed other physiques, but maintaining peak combat power at all times consumed greatly. Even the Chaotic Divine Body could not handle it indefinitely, and without the support of the Battle-Winning Brew, he might have already been exhausted!

“This baldy Tathagata, he’s practically a monster! How many magical treasures has he refined into his Dharma Body?”

Having interacted with Tathagata Buddha for so long, other than the Ninth Grade Merit Golden Lotus upon which he sat, Sun Wukong hadn’t seen Tathagata Buddha utilize any other magical treasure; it was always just a pair of palms in attack and defense. Yet these simple palms left Sun Wukong feeling utterly helpless and were far more terrifying than any divine weapon!

After becoming Buddha, Tathagata Buddha, feeling that he possessed too many magical treasures which had little use in real combat, refined all his treasures one by one into his Dharma Body. Sun Wukong had heard about this in his previous life, but he didn’t realize that it wasn’t just the treasures—Tathagata Buddha had even integrated his own original body into the refinement process, fusing both himself and the Dharma Body into one.

In other words, Tathagata Buddha’s Dharma Body is his true form, it’s just that he doesn’t manifest the effects under normal circumstances.

The attacks of Tathagata Palm were extremely sharp, with each strike enough to split space itself; its defensive power was equally formidable. Yet relying solely on a pair of flesh palms inevitably had its lapses. From time to time, Sun Wukong’s attacks managed to penetrate the defensive net formed by the palms, striking Tathagata Buddha’s body, but it was like scratching an itch—he couldn’t inflict any damage, not even fluttering the corners of Tathagata Buddha’s kasaya!

The durability of this baldy’s Dharma Body might even surpass that of Sun Wukong’s Chaotic Divine Body with its Indestructible Body!

“If this goes on, old Sun here will really be drained dry by this baldy Tathagata!”

Swinging the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod to block the strike of Tathagata Palm, Sun Wukong retreated a thousand zhang to dissipate the force, feeling a growing urgency in his heart. He had already pushed his combat power to the limit, yet he was still unable to defeat Tathagata Buddha, not even managing to force him back. Continuing this way, he would eventually exhaust his Chaos Primordial Force, and by then he would be completely at the mercy of Tathagata Buddha.

“Cloning Divine Powers!”

Feeling the dwindling Chaos Primordial Force inside him, Sun Wukong couldn’t hold back any longer and gritted his teeth to activate Cloning Divine Powers, causing a clone to emerge from his body. The Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod separated from the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, landing in the hands of the clone.

It was time to decide the outcome!
