Chapter 432 -432 Buddhist Karma Fire (First Update!)
“Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, slay the immortals and annihilate the Buddha!”
As the four directions shook, Sun Wukong let out a loud cry and had already triggered the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation to launch an attack on Tathagata Buddha.
The Slaughter Sword Qi released from the concealed Four Swords of Immortal-Slaying in the void suddenly intensified, becoming extremely sharp, coalescing into streams of Sword Qi torrents that fiercely pierced towards Tathagata Buddha’s ten-thousand-zhang golden body.
Clang clang clang clang!
The dense sound of metal clashing rang out as numerous Qi Swords struck Tathagata Buddha’s golden body, unable to penetrate it, and were all repelled. But Tathagata Buddha’s expression did not show the slightest bit of joy; instead, he looked extremely grave.
Although these Sword Qi-formed sharp swords did not injure him, the Heavenly Dao killing intent contained within the attacks dispersed the Buddha Primordial Force on the surface of his body bit by bit. In just a short moment, the Sword Qi torrents had scattered almost half of the Buddha Primordial Force emanating from his golden body. At this rate, it would take less than half an incense stick’s time for the protective Buddha Primordial Force on his golden body to be completely dissipated!
...
Tathagata Buddha had smelted all manner of magical treasures into his golden body, which made it more sturdy than an Indestructible Body. But even so, it was not truly invulnerable. Without the protective Buddha Primordial Force, being continuously pierced by so many sharp swords was like being filed away by countless rasps. With each pass, they would file away a bit more, and over time, they would entirely wear him down to dust—it would be as if he were being ground to ashes!
Clang clang clang clang!
Countless sharp swords were still relentlessly bombarding Tathagata Buddha’s body. All the repelled sharp swords and shattered Sword Qi were reconverging and then thrusting towards Tathagata Buddha again. The replenishment of the protective Buddha Primordial Force simply couldn’t keep up with the rate of consumption. Tathagata Buddha felt his heart sinking; he couldn’t simply wait for death any longer—he must break out, or today he might really suffer defeat here!
“Buddha’s Light shines everywhere!”
With his hands forming a Dharma Seal, Tathagata Buddha’s eyes suddenly burst open, and a surge of Buddha’s Light spread wildly from his body, repelling all the incoming sharp swords and clearing a large area in an instant. His figure moved, darting towards the due east direction. Ordinary people might get lost within the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, but not so with a Heavenly Dao Saint like Tathagata Buddha—he could identify the formation’s Life Gate at a glance, and even with its constant changes, it couldn’t evade their perception.
“Trying to escape? It’s not that easy!”
Stationed at the Formation Eye of the Great Formation, Sun Wukong held a miniature map in his palm, which mirrored everything happening inside the formation. Seeing Tathagata Buddha attempting to break through the Life Gate to escape, he couldn’t help but sneer. If the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation could be breached so easily, it would not be known as the greatest Killing Formation of the Ancient Primeval era!
“Sword of Annihilation, trap!”
With a soft cry, Sword Intent suddenly spread from the concealed Sword of Annihilation in the void, causing the Life Gate of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation to rapidly shift.
“Sword of Trapping Immortals, bind!”
Another soft cry followed, and Sword Intent also radiated from the similarly concealed Sword of Trapping Immortals. A portion of the previously extremely fierce Sword Qi suddenly differentiated, transforming into long ropes of Sword Qi that wrapped around Tathagata Buddha’s body, binding him tightly from head to toe in an instant.
Tathagata Buddha had just realized the Life Gate’s position had changed; the very next moment, his body was weighed down, wrapped by dense Sword Qi ropes, as if he were trapped in a quagmire. His speed plummeted, and his expression changed at once.
“Sun Wukong, do you really think you can detain me with this Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation?”
An indignant roar echoed within the Great Formation Space, and immediately afterward, a fierce dark gold flame ignited around Tathagata Buddha’s body. This was the Buddhist Karma Fire, formed by the burning of karma power, capable of burning all things in the world. The sword qi ropes that were entangled around Tathagata Buddha’s body began to snap one by one under the scorching of the Buddhist Karma Fire, drastically reducing the pressure on Tathagata Buddha. His eyes gleamed, and he chased after the transformation at the Life Gate.
“Whether it can detain you or not, we’ll only know after trying!”
Sun Wukong snorted coldly, and with a thought, the sword qi ropes within the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation once again wound toward Tathagata Buddha. Each one that was burnt by the Buddhist Karma Fire was replaced by another, winding up again.
Can the Buddhist Karma Fire really burn through the sword qi ropes? I, Old Sun, want to see whether you burn them faster, or I wrap them faster!
“Damnable!”
Once again entangled by the sword qi ropes, Tathagata Buddha’s speed plummeted, and a flicker of anger swept across his eyes as the Buddhist Karma Fire around him grew even more fierce.
Ordinary immortals and Buddhas fear karma power as they would a fearsome tiger, yet Tathagata Buddha does the opposite. He stores all of his karma power in his Dharma Body, releasing it at critical moments to confront enemies. However, this method is only usable by Tathagata Buddha, as not just anyone can integrate countless magical treasures into their body like he can.
“Tathagata, that old dog, has really hidden his skills deep, to even use Karma Fire in such a way!”
Watching from the Formation Eye as Tathagata Buddha continuously ignited the Karma Fire to burn off the sword qi ropes entangling him, a chill went through Sun Wukong’s heart. Being the Lord of Buddhism, he managed to plot against and imprison a powerful predecessor like Amitabha Buddha; indeed, he wasn’t easy to deal with!
It seems that today the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation might hardly detain Tathagata Buddha!
But it doesn’t matter if he can’t be detained. Letting this bald donkey suffer will suffice, as if this were just a small instalment of interest paid before formally demanding retribution for all the grievances!
“Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, Immortal-Slaying Strike!”

Tathagata Buddha was getting closer and closer to the Life Gate. Although Sun Wukong could keep changing the position of the Life Gate, Tathagata Buddha was also changing directions, nearing his escape constantly. Seeing that he was about to break free, Sun Wukong simply gave up on changing the Life Gate’s position, and all the sword qi ropes were retracted.
As Tathagata Buddha was slightly bewildered, Sun Wukong’s eyes suddenly shot open, the sword qi in the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation gathering into a single Immortal-Slaying Slaying Sword, even sharper than one of the Four Swords of Immortal-Slaying, the Immortal-Slaying Sword itself. This was a Slaying Sword formed by compressing and concentrating all the slaughter sword qi of the entire Sword Formation into one, and it flew towards Tathagata Buddha like a bolt of lightning.
“Not good!”
Tathagata Buddha suddenly felt an intense premonition of danger, an unprecedented sense of peril that made all the hairs on his body stand on end. In the split second, without time to think, he twisted his body forcefully, and a dazzling sword light burst forth, grazing past his left arm, and blood sprayed out!
