#2391 - The Zen Conception of Tathagata
Chu Hao, transformed into Pangu, spoke as he strode towards Mount Ling once more, his immense, sky-supporting body stepping into its boundaries.
The moment his foot landed, the entire Mount Ling shook violently, many Buddhas falling to the ground, scrambling in terror.
Seeing this scene, the Tathagata Buddha couldn't help but grit his teeth; he was the leader of Western Paradise Buddhism.
Mount Ling was his lair; if he allowed the giant Pangu to trample it, the entire mountain would likely collapse, directly destroying the Tathagata Buddha's foundation.
“Preposterous! Daring to disturb my Mount Ling, whether you are Pangu or not, today I will be irreconcilable with you!”
As he spoke, the Tathagata Buddha soared into the sky, confronting Chu Hao's Pangu transformation in an attempt to halt his advance.
“Amitabha, Golden Body Manifest!”
The Tathagata Buddha knew that he was completely helpless against his opponent with just spells and his own cultivation, so after ascending, he directly displayed his Golden Body.
The Tathagata Buddha's Dharma Golden Body was also extraordinary, the entire body being a thousand zhang tall, shining with dazzling golden light.
But even a thousand-zhang Golden Body was like the difference between an adult and a baby in front of Chu Hao's Pangu transformation.
“Power of the Golden Body!”
The Tathagata Buddha put his hands together, and so did the thousand-zhang Golden Body.
As the Golden Body's hands merged, Buddhist mantra symbols flew towards Chu Hao's Pangu transformation.
“Om Mani Padme Hum!”
The Tathagata Buddha chanted the Six-Syllable Great Bright Mantra of Buddhism, then extended a single palm, striking towards Chu Hao's Pangu transformation.
The thousand-zhang Golden Body did the same, this palm carrying the immense power of the Golden Body that the Tathagata Buddha had cultivated for countless years.
Although the Golden Body only struck out with one palm, a thousand giant Buddha hands appeared around it at the same time, also striking out with a palm.
Each of the thousand palms was blessed with Buddhist mantras, which was already the strongest attack the Tathagata Buddha could unleash without using the power of intent.
It could be said that even a Saint realm cultivator would not easily withstand such a powerful blow from the Tathagata Buddha.
Even Chu Hao, facing such an attack, could only use the Buddha Kingdom in his Palm or the Intent of War to resist.
But now Chu Hao's Pangu transformation's cultivation was at the peak of the Primordial Saint realm, giving him a considerable advantage over the Tathagata Buddha.
As the thousand palms approached, Chu Hao's Pangu transformation suddenly clenched his left hand and threw a punch.
Although it was only a punch, the fist of Pangu's sky-supporting giant body was no smaller than a mountain.
Under the power of this punch, everyone's eyes suddenly blurred.
This was not an illusion of the eyes, but because the power of this punch was too strong, distorting the surrounding space.
A punch and a thousand zhang clashed in an instant.
Bang bang bang.
Explosions continued, and black lines appeared at the point of contact.
These black lines were not the remnants of magical clashes, but spatial cracks, which appeared black.
This was because beyond the Three Realms was the endless void, a chaotic expanse without sun, moon, or light.
The explosions lasted for a moment, and the confrontation neared its end.
Chu Hao's Pangu transformation retracted his punch without the slightest abnormality.
But the Tathagata Buddha was different; blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his Golden Body showed varying degrees of concavity.
He was injured by the force of the rebound, which had caused considerable damage to the Tathagata Buddha's Golden Body.
The Golden Body was the Tathagata Buddha's reliance, and now that even the Golden Body was damaged, the Tathagata Buddha was truly desperate.
“You dare to injure my Golden Body! I'll fight you to the death!”
“Zen Intent!”
The Tathagata Buddha withdrew his Golden Body and began to unleash the power of intent.
Zen is a Buddhist term, so this Zen Intent is actually the Buddhist Dharma Intent.
The reason why intent is powerful is because it can directly connect to the rules of heaven and earth, allowing it to merge with heaven and earth.
Thus, it can manipulate the power of heaven and earth for its own use, which is why the Saint realm is incomparable to other realms.
The Tathagata Buddha's intent was unleashed, assimilating the area within ten thousand miles, including Mount Ling, into the Zen Intent.
Within this ten-thousand-mile space, there was a Buddhist atmosphere, a feeling as if countless voices were chanting Buddhist hymns.
“Give me condensation! I will trap you to death in this space.”
“I will condense ten thousand miles of space to flatten your body.”
“I refuse to believe you can escape the powerful might of my shattering ten thousand miles of space.”
Under the influence of the Tathagata Buddha's intent, he used the surrounding ten thousand miles of space to confront Chu Hao's Pangu transformation.
He wanted to lock Chu Hao's Pangu transformation within this ten-thousand-mile space, and then kill him at the cost of shattering the ten-thousand-mile space.
It must be said that the Tathagata Buddha was truly driven mad at this time, showing signs of frenzy.
The area around Mount Ling was filled with countless countries and city-states, and the number of mortal beings contained within ten thousand miles of space was more than hundreds of millions.
If this were not in the Dream Realm, but happening in the real world, the shattering of this ten-thousand-mile space would result in the death and destruction of hundreds of millions of beings.
But for the Tathagata Buddha, he didn't care about these things at this time.
The ten-thousand-mile space began to shrink sharply, and as it shrank, the powerful spatial pressure tightly bound Chu Hao's Pangu transformation.
Compressing ten thousand miles of space was like concealing Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed, or putting the sun and moon into a pot; the compression of ten thousand miles of space could even reach the size of a grain of dust.
And it was not only the space that was shrinking, but also Chu Hao's Pangu transformation within the space.
“It seems I have won after all; go to hell!”
Seeing that he had confined Chu Hao's Pangu transformation within the space, the Tathagata Buddha couldn't help but laugh loudly.
Next, as long as he shattered the space, he could destroy the giant Pangu body inside together.
“Tathagata Buddha, you are happy too soon.”
“Watch me break open your intent space!”
Chu Hao's Pangu transformation joined both hands and grasped the Heaven-Opening Giant Axe.
This Heaven-Opening Giant Axe was the supreme divine weapon of the Heavenly Dao, and although the Dream Tapir Beast might not be able to fully display the power of the Heaven-Opening Axe in this Dream Realm.
The power of the Heaven-Opening Axe alone was enough to shake the heavens and earth.
“Break!”
With the sound, a huge black crack appeared in the ten-thousand-mile space assimilated by the Tathagata Buddha's intent.
As the Heaven-Opening Axe swung, the crack grew larger and larger, and in an instant, the entire space was cut in two by the Heaven-Opening Axe.
The original compressed state was instantly lost and returned to its controlled state.
