Chapter 781: The Patriarch’s Dominance [Thirteenth Update]

Chapter 781: Chapter 781: The Patriarch’s Dominance [Thirteenth Update]

Tathāgata asked in a deep voice, feeling that Patriarch Bodhi was unfathomable.

Xing Tian, Hou Yi, Kua Fu, and the other Great Qin generals all looked at Patriarch Bodhi, who was walking through the void, with fear and trepidation. Could another powerful being have appeared?

In the Journey to the West, none of the gods and demons, except for Sun Wukong, recognized Patriarch Bodhi.

After Sun Wukong completed his apprenticeship, Patriarch Bodhi disappeared without a trace. No one knew his origins, nor where he had gone.

It seemed that aside from the villagers near Mount Inch, only Sun Wukong remembered him.

Even Xu Chongsheng, the master of the Corpse Emperor Palace, was frightened, temporarily halting his battle with Kua Fu.

"I am Sun Wukong’s master!"

Patriarch Bodhi snorted lightly, and as he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out a Dust Brush, directly striding toward Tathāgata.

Qin Jun watched, his heart throbbing with excitement.

Who was stronger, Patriarch Bodhi or Tathāgata, was always a hotly debated topic among the fans of the past era’s Journey to the West.

While Tathāgata was reputedly the strongest overtly, Patriarch Bodhi’s mysterious origins, possibly being Daoist Cundi or a split body of Daoist Cundi, meant there had never been a definitive conclusion as to who was more powerful.

But here, Qin Jun felt that Patriarch Bodhi was stronger.

That was because Tathāgata was already severely injured, and now forcefully elevating his cultivation was sure to take a toll on his physical body— he was at his last gasp.

"Master! Master!"

Sun Wukong and the Victorious Fighting Buddha were beside themselves with excitement. Since the year they had kowtowed and bid farewell, they had not seen Patriarch Bodhi again. Now, seeing that Patriarch Bodhi had appeared to save them, how could they not be overjoyed?

The entire battlefield was in an uproar.

The newcomer turned out to be the master of the Supreme Heaven Great Sage and the Victorious Fighting Buddha!

Yang Jian, the Nine-headed Insect, Yuan Hong, and other Great Qin generals had their eyes bulging, and the watching beings from afar were similarly abuzz.

"Is it real? The Holy Emperor of Qin even called upon the Great Sage’s master?"

"So the Supreme Heaven Great Sage and the Victorious Fighting Buddha are martial brothers..."

"Bullshit... They’re obviously twins, they look almost exactly alike!"

"Incredible, the being who could teach the Supreme Heaven Great Sage and the Victorious Fighting Buddha must be extremely powerful!"

"Anyway, stronger than you or me..."

Everywhere between heaven and earth, there was discussion. Patriarch Bodhi looked harmless, yet the revelation of his identity exerted an indescribable oppressive feeling on others.

Moreover, the aloof air about Patriarch Bodhi made him seem profound and inscrutable.

Tathāgata’s heart was thrown into turmoil, and with a trembling voice, he asked, "Are you... that one?"

"No matter who I am, you’ve bullied my disciple many times. It’s time to teach you a lesson!"

Patriarch Bodhi said softly, as if talking about something of no great importance.

In the meantime, he had already approached within less than ten thousand meters of Tathāgata.

Upon hearing these words, Tathāgata became furious: "Hmph! This is not the Earth Immortal Realm, the past is like smoke, if you dare obstruct me, you will regret it!"

"Hmph! Just you? You’re not even worthy of a finger from my master,"

Sun Wukong scoffed. In his heart, Patriarch Bodhi was invincible. Even after he himself had developed his abilities, he still couldn’t fathom Patriarch Bodhi.

"Disciple, don’t panic."

Patriarch Bodhi waved the Dust Brush and chuckled. In fact, he felt somewhat ashamed inside.

Sun Wukong truly regarded him as a master, but in his past life, he had simply stood by, watching Sun Wukong endure countless hardships.

But this time, he intended to take action.

The Dust Brush surged with a cyan glow like a flood, thundering forward with a tremendous roar and at such speed that Tathāgata couldn’t react in time, instinctively protecting his golden body with myriad hands.

With a deafening boom!

Tathāgata was blasted backward by the cyan glow, and Patriarch Bodhi stepped forward, covering ten thousand meters in one stride, with a trace of the mystique of shrinking the earth to an inch, heaven and earth within a hair’s breadth.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

Patriarch Bodhi swung the Dust Brush, shattering Tathāgata’s arms one after another. Xing Tian and Hou Yi watched with their eyes wide in disbelief.

They had a profound understanding of the strength of Tathāgata’s golden body, yet they had not expected Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi to break through it so effortlessly.

It was not that they were too weak, but that Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi was too strong!

Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi swiftly wielded the Dust Brush, shattering the countless arms enveloping Tathāgata’s golden body, while pressing Tathāgata into retreat step by step. The scene was spectacular, thrilling countless beings who were now pursuing them.

"All forces, follow up!"

Qin Jun shouted loudly. The speed of Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi and Tathāgata was too fast, and with Tathāgata’s colossal size, they were about to vanish into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

His main goal for this journey was indeed Tathāgata’s Nirvana Bodhi.

The several million surviving soldiers pursued in a mighty torrent, as the Western Region’s monk soldiers and the Corpse Emperor Palace’s zombie slaves had been wiped out cleanly, leaving no one to restrain the mighty Great Qin Heavenly Court’s army.

Xu Chongsheng dared not to pursue, and swiftly led dozens of strong figures from the Corpse Emperor Palace to flee in a sorry state.

This scene caught the attention of many concerned observers.

Xu Chongsheng actually fled!

The fifth Dominance Leader just ran away like that!

"Something big has happened!"

"After today, the Dominance Leaderboard is bound to see major changes!"

"Even the fifth Dominance Leader has to temporarily avoid the edge of the Holy Emperor of Qin and Tathāgata?"

"It’s the turning of an era! Who can stand against the Holy Emperor of Qin in the future?"

"Haha! Lucky to have come to witness the battle myself! The trip was worth it!"

The beings who came to watch were thrilled; they had come to the Western Region to enjoy the spectacle and gather the latest intelligence.

What could be more exciting than the news of Xu Chongsheng’s flight?

Afterward, they too began to pursue Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi and Tathāgata.

At the same time, thousands of Tathāgata’s myriad arms had been shattered by Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi, and the figures of Sun Wukong and the Victorious Fighting Buddha also came into Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi’s view.

Looking at the approaching Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi, Sun Wukong was so excited that his eyes were on the verge of turning red, as the warmth of the master-disciple relationship from years ago resurfaced.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha was in a much better state than Sun Wukong, but his trembling body showed that he was far from calm inside.

"Take them!"

Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi waved his sleeve, forcibly drawing Sun Wukong and the Victorious Fighting Buddha from Tathāgata’s grasp.

This technique bore the essence of the Divine Power ’Universe in the Sleeve.’

"How dare you!"

Tathāgata grew even more infuriated, raising his palm to condense a golden giant palm tens of thousands of feet high, slamming it towards Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi.

With this palm, he exerted his full strength, desiring to crush Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi to death.

"Overestimating oneself!"

Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi smirked contemptuously, shaking the Dust Brush in his right hand, stirring up a hurricane that ravaged the earth and sky, successfully blocking the golden giant palm.

The surrounding mountains were toppled by the fierce wind, the earth trembled violently, and the pursuing soldiers of the Great Qin army were dumbstruck.

Even Qin Jun’s blood was boiling.

In a past life, who knows how many people, upon seeing Sun Wukong being oppressed, longed for Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi to appear and save him.

Qin Jun had never imagined that in this life he would personally create such a scene, which filled him with pride and excitement.

"System! Just how strong is Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi?"

Qin Jun asked excitedly in his heart. That was awesome!

Defeating Tathāgata so handily!

Even if Tathāgata might not be at his peak at this moment, Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi’s overwhelming strength still took him by surprise.

"Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi is stronger than the limits the host can comprehend; the system cannot disclose," the system said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun had no choice but to let it go.

Meanwhile, after rescuing Sun Wukong and the Victorious Fighting Buddha, Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi sent them away with the Dust Brush and said with a light chuckle, "Disciple, watch as your master deals with him!"
