Chapter 582: Chapter 582: Let’s Fight Then

Damn it!

Is that Tathāgata?

Qin Jun’s eyes went wide instantly, followed by Kua Fu appearing in front of him, his face gloomy.

"Amitābha Buddha..."

Tang Sanzang took a deep breath. Seeing the majestic golden Buddha before him, he couldn’t calm his emotions. The arrival was his master, Tathāgata Buddha!

Yang Jian had also seen the Tathāgata Buddha. His right hand, which clutched the Divine Halberd, involuntarily tightened, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

The Nine-headed Insect, too, had regained his past life’s memories. Seeing the Tathāgata Buddha, his legs started to go numb.

The highest boss in the world of Journey to the West, Tathāgata Buddha.

Although it is said in Journey to the West that it was the Old Master who controlled the heavens, on the surface, Tathāgata Buddha is undoubtedly the strongest presence.

He orchestrated the Western Journey, suppressed the Heavenly Court, and even the Jade Emperor had to grit his teeth and bear it.

"So powerful..." Kua Fu muttered.

The entire Holy City and Saint Emperor Peak fell silent, all those who saw the avatar of Tathāgata Buddha even started to breathe rapidly.

At a glance, this avatar seemed to be at least five thousand zhang tall, with a head that touched the heavens, the stars above him, his face full of compassion, yet between his brows there was an undeniable righteousness!

Qin Jun was drenched in cold sweat. Facing Tathāgata, the pressure he felt was immense. Even a proud figure like Supreme Heaven Great Sage had been mercilessly suppressed by Tathāgata for five hundred years. This guy was not as compassionate as he appeared; to become a top figure, he had to have iron-blooded methods.

"Who goes there!"

Qin Jun, mustering all his strength, shouted sternly, while stirring his 36 Heavenly Transformations to grow to a thousand zhang tall, floating above Saint Emperor Peak, looking down at Tathāgata Buddha.

Show no signs of weakness!

The size-increasing power of the 36 Heavenly Transformations meant greater strength as one’s form enlarged, but it also resulted in enormous consumption of energy. A thousand zhang was Qin Jun’s limit. In front of Tathāgata, he still seemed quite petite. Fortunately, he had the advantage of height.

The hundreds of millions of people in the Holy City, seeing Qin Jun’s thousand-zhang stature, all let out a sigh of relief. Tathāgata was causing them great pressure, but fortunately, the Holy Emperor still looked dominant, which gave them a sense of security.

"I am Tathāgata from the Western Domain. I have come to meet due to a karma connection with the Holy Emperor," Tathāgata spoke. The body of the golden Buddha looked like a golden statue, unable to open its mouth, but his voice echoed under the heavens.

Qin Jun’s mouth twitched. Without fear, he spoke firmly, "Although the Southern Domain and Western Domain are adjacent, I fear that karma is merely the banner you wave. Speak plainly. Monks are not supposed to lie!"

Directly emanating an imposing aura to pressure the Holy City, he did not believe Tathāgata was just passing by.

At the same time, he was extremely anxious.

With just Kua Fu, it would likely be impossible to deal with Tathāgata.

If Li Yuanba and the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint could return in time, perhaps the three of them combined could resist.

"Amitābha Buddha. I have heard my disciples of Buddhism say that the Holy Emperor of Qin from the Southern Domain is an extraordinary person. I have always wanted to meet you, but the Holy Emperor refused, leaving me with no choice but to visit," Tathāgata’s voice remained so sincere and kind, as if he truly was just visiting.

You damn visit, but have the gall to withdraw your imposing aura!

Qin Jun almost exploded with anger, noticing that many citizens in the Holy City were being forced to kneel by Tathāgata’s aura.

"I have no time for you. You may leave the Southern Domain world and take a right turn to the Southernmost Sea to talk with the Green Fox King. He is also quite impressive," Qin Jun snorted coldly. If the Green Fox King heard this, he would surely spit blood.

"It is said that the Holy Emperor of Qin can battle beyond his rank, and possesses an imposing elegance. I have come to try," Tathāgata said with a light laugh, and as he spoke, he lifted his right palm to strike Qin Jun. The divine palm of Tathāgata instantly materialized, like a mountainous golden palm, and it came bearing down on Qin Jun with unstoppable force.

In an instant, a howling gale erupted and an immense pressure descended as though the heavens were collapsing. Qin Jun’s brows furrowed as he was about to draw his Seven Star Sword. Just then, Yang Jian suddenly transformed into a towering figure, standing in front of Saint Emperor Peak. Hovering above the Holy City, he swung his divine, three-pointed blade in a slashing motion.

Boom—

With the fall of the blade on the golden palm, millions felt their eardrums burst, nearly deafening them. They could only see the golden palm pressing Yang Jian backwards, threatening to topple Saint Emperor Peak.

"How dare you!"

The Nine-headed Insect bellowed angrily, leaping forward and taking on its true form. Its nine avian heads radiated intense light as they collided with the golden palm, aiding Yang Jian in resisting the Tathāgata’s divine palm.

The next second, the golden palm exploded, sending Yang Jian and the Nine-headed Insect tumbling away from either side of Saint Emperor Peak, both of them worse for wear.

With just one move, Yang Jian and the Nine-headed Insect were repelled!

Qin Jun remained silent, while Tang Sanzang sighed, leaving Saint Emperor Peak in utter silence.

"What level of cultivation does this person have..." Old Man Yi said in a grave voice, while Zhong Kui, Li Jing, Nezha, Red Boy, Yuan Hong, and other commanding officers all had grim expressions.

In the face of Tathāgata, they didn’t even have the courage to make a move.

"Tathāgata, ah... I never thought I’d encounter him in this world, and on the opposing side no less," Zhu Bajie said with a wry smile, the thought of his eldest disciple brother making his expression fill with concern.

He didn’t want to see Qin Jun repeat the mistakes of Sun Wukong.

But as far as Zhu Bajie could remember, it seemed that no one could defeat Tathāgata, not even a record of Tathāgata being at a disadvantage.

Once Tathāgata made a move, it was a total domination, leaving the opponent with no chance of retaliation.

In those days, no matter how formidable Sun Wukong was, raising a ruckus in the heavenly palace and terrifying all the celestial deities, the moment Tathāgata stepped in, Sun Wukong immediately knelt down, and that kneel lasted five hundred years.

"It seems you wish to be my enemy," Qin Jun said coldly, his heart filled with extreme hatred for Tathāgata.

At the same time, he was anxiously wondering, what to do?

"It is and it isn’t. As long as the Holy Emperor accompanies me to the West Heaven, this cause can be resolved," Tathāgata said with a light chuckle, provoking the anger of everyone in the Holy City.

To have the majestic Holy Emperor of Qin follow him to the Western Regions, what face would the Southern Domain have left if word got out?

And anyone not a fool could understand that if Qin Jun went, he would never return!

"You old bald donkey, since you’re so arrogant, then let’s fight!"

Qin Jun shouted angrily, as if he was no pushover to be easily squeezed.

As his words fell, numerous figures took to the air, standing in front of Qin Jun.

Roaring Sky Dog, Li Bai, Sha Wujing, Red Boy, Lei Zhenzi, Li Cunxiao, Yuan Hong, Shen Gongbao, Giant Spirit God, Silver Horn King, Nezha, King Huang Feng, Chang’e, Earth Traveler Monkey, Li Jing, Thousand-Mile Eyes and Wind-Ear, Jin Chanzi, Zhong Kui, Zhu Bajie!

And hundreds of other generals from the Holy City, with cultivations ranging from the Immortal Realm to the Golden Immortal Realm. Hundreds of warriors stood in front of Qin Jun, a truly magnificent sight.

"Enough!"

Tang Sanzang sighed, his face turning stern in an instant, his hands together in prayer, as the aurora of a Mysterious Immortal erupted, causing hundreds of generals to tremble with fear but more so with excitement.

To fight alongside such mighty beings was indeed a fortunate event!

Qin Jun was filled with soaring ambition, facing hundreds of generals ahead, among them Zhong Kui, Nezha, and other God and Demon figures. This battle was the most significant he had ever encountered, despite there being just one opponent.

Perhaps they might lose, but he wasn’t afraid.

He didn’t want to simply submit and follow Tathāgata.

"I seem to have underestimated the Southern Domain." Tathāgata’s golden form slightly narrowed his eyes, instantly shattering his compassionate visage.
