Emperor Zhenwu looked at the beleaguered Maitreya Buddha and couldn’t help asking, "Maitreya Buddha, what do you really want..."
Maitreya Buddha immediately transmitted a voice interruption saying, "Silence!"
He shouted, "Emperor Zhenwu, today even if I risk nirvana, I will never allow you to commit slaughter in the Northern Continent, Amitabha Buddha~ My Buddha is merciful~" The grand Buddhist chant echoed across the sky of the Northern Continent.
Emperor Zhenwu was speechless, I, a mere Daluo Golden Immortal, am actually pushing you, a Quasi-Saint, to the brink of nirvana. How impressive of me.
Maitreya Buddha transmitted, "Emperor Zhenwu, I hear you have a good relationship with Emperor Gouchen?"
Emperor Zhenwu’s expression shifted, and he also transmitted, "He is my senior brother! My Taiji Dao was learned from senior brother’s Tai Chi Boxing, I owe him a debt of transmission and teaching!"
"That is good! Not to hide from the Great Emperor, brother Bai Jin also helped me a lot. When I fell to my lowest, it was Bai Jin who continuously supported and encouraged me, helping me rise. Without brother Bai Jin, there would be no Maitreya Buddha today."
A flash of surprise crossed Emperor Zhenwu’s eyes, there was such a matter between senior brother and Maitreya Buddha, he transmitted, "Brother Bai Jin has always been kind and approachable, taking great care of us junior brothers."
Maitreya Buddha nodded repeatedly, sincerely saying, "Indeed!"
Bang~ The two exchanged palms and simultaneously flew backward, then charged at each other again as if bearing immense life and death grudges.
During the battle, Maitreya Buddha transmitted, "Great Emperor, I brought only disciples of Duo Bao Tathagata this time, you can kill as you like, no need to hold back."
Emperor Zhenwu hesitated a bit and said, "Isn’t this inappropriate? If Buddhism suffers too many losses, how will you explain when you return?"
Maitreya Buddha arrogantly stated, "In my life as Maitreya, I need not explain to anyone, look at this!" With a stretch of a palm towards Emperor Zhenwu, a vast palm imprint landed on Emperor Zhenwu, and the Immortal Array on the Emperor’s Robe was activated instantaneously, a beam of purple light flashed, and the palm imprint was deflected.
Boom~ It landed among a group of Arhats, instantly sending them flying backwards in the formation, screaming as they were blown away in the distance, injured or dead.
Maitreya Buddha staggered back, startled and exclaimed, "Such incredible defense, could that Emperor’s Robe possibly be forged by the Taishang Saint?"
Emperor Zhenwu was speechless, this was forged by myself, since Maitreya Buddha was showing no mercy, why should I be hypocritical? In an instant, a sword slashed out, a violent Slaughter Sword Qi gathered and slashed towards Maitreya Buddha.
Maitreya Buddha clasped his hands together and chanted, "Namo Amitabha Buddha~" Coating himself with a golden body.
"Clang~" The destructive Sword Qi on the golden body, instantly transformed into thousands of flying Sword Qi, pff, pff, pff~ the battlefield below was instantly cleared, leaving a ground full of corpses of Heavenly Soldiers, Generals, Demons, and Arhats.
The corpses of the Heavenly Soldiers faded into Spiritual Energy and disappeared, leaving only the bodies of Demons and Buddhist Disciples on the ground, blood soaring to the skies.
Maitreya Buddha’s golden light shattered, he angrily yelled, "Zhenwu, today our grievances cannot be reconciled."
Emperor Zhenwu, holding the Divine Sword, haughtily looked at Maitreya Buddha and shouted, "Maitreya Buddha, you defy the will of heaven, today there can be no reconciliation between us."
The two immediately clashed again, exchanging blows, fierce battle fluctuations twisted the sky, the two almost turning into dual phantasms intertwining, the destructive aura of the battle emanating from the twisted sky.
All the Demon Gods felt terrified and had no doubt that if they entered the battle, they would instantly perish amidst this terrifying fight.
From time to time, remnants of the battle burst from above, and even Maitreya Buddha didn’t dare to act too extremely, so as not to expose anything noticeable in days to come, each remnant wave carrying the irrefutable Tao Rhythm of Maitreya.
A Snake Demon Demon God soared into the air, dodging a remnant wave, and called out urgently, "Maitreya Buddha, please bring Emperor Zhenwu beyond the Nine Heavens." His voice echoed grandly in the Northern Continent sky.
However, there was no response at all; the two figures were still fiercely fighting in the Northern Continent sky.
A Wild Boar Demon God landed next to the Snake Demon Demon God, with a fierce light in his eyes, panting and saying, "It’s useless, we can’t be distracted in the midst of a great battle.
I never expected Emperor Zhenwu to be so formidable, using the Taiji’s great door to pull on the strength of Maitreya, merging their powers such that even the remnant waves we dare not resist."
The Snake Demon also nodded; if it were ordinary combat remnants, blocking wouldn’t be difficult, but now the combat remnants contain spatial Tao Rhythm, and even they, the Daluo Demon Gods, must avoid its sharpness.
Many Demon Gods felt astonished, is the Tao of Saints really so powerful? With Daluo cultivation, Zhenwu can even fiercely take on a Quasi-Saint, who is stronger, Zhenwu or Maitreya?!
As for the idea of Maitreya throwing the fight, they wouldn’t even consider it. The bodies of Buddhist Disciples can’t be faked, they really are fighting with all their might, the Buddhist losses are even greater than ours, Buddhism is truly noble!
Following this, the Black Water Mysterious Snake clan from the Northern Abyss Abyss, the Feitian Leopard clan from the Yunwu Mountain, the Ming Snake clan from the Endless Swamp, and other powerful ancient tribes all emerged and headed straight to the Thirty-Three Heavens.
The Water Department Gods, Fire Department Gods, Plague Department Gods, and Fighting Gods all joined, battling with many ancient clans. In the Thirty-Three Heavens, the roar of battle was thunderous.
The whole Three Realms seemed to be drawn into the war, the battle of Gods and Demons affecting the Three Realms, leading to frequent disasters in the Three Realms like volcanoes, earthquakes, floods.
Above the East Sea, Fusang Island was already shattered into pieces, split into four major parts, with countless smaller ones densely scattered.
Boom~ The Luck Golden Dragon and Orochi entangled, crashed into the choppy sea, causing a huge wave, both severely injured.
The Luck Golden Dragon’s body was covered in bite marks, while the Orochi had only five of its eight heads left, and its body was also in tatters, but the aura of both was equally profound, showing no signs of weakness, continuing this way, both were bound to perish together, a huge loss for both the Demon Clan and the Human Clan.
A cry rang out over the East Sea Sky, a black bird with rolling Demonic Qi soared in, the black bird flying over Fusang Island, opened its mouth and spit out a golden Spiritual Pearl with a dragon shadow swimming on it.
The golden Dragon Ball floated down.
"Roar~" From the boiling sea, a badly scarred Divine Dragon burst out, excitedly watching the pearl above, swallowed the golden Dragon Ball in one bite.
The Orochi followed immediately, opening its mouth to bite at the Divine Dragon.
A Jing Guang flowed over the Divine Dragon’s body; all its wounds disappeared instantly, it turned around and thrust out a claw, bang!—grabbed a snake head, twisted its head and a golden beam blasted out, shattering the ferocious snake head biting at it next to it, the dragon claw abruptly squeezed, shattering the head it held.
