329 A Different Tathagata

[Just as the demons were feeling a little afraid, many heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals suddenly rushed in from the outside. Yang Jian, who was dressed in battle armor and holding a three-pointed, double-edged sword, charged over.

“Which demon dares to invade the Heavenly Court!?”

[Yang Jian’s body was filled with righteousness as he casually waved the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand, directly killing a path of blood as he arrived in front of Wang Lingguan.

[Upon seeing Yang Jian, Wang Lingguan’s tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.

[With Yang Jian’s help, the demons in front of them were no longer a threat.

“Wang Lingguan, go in and protect the emperor. Leave these evildoers to me!” Yang Jian said solemnly.

[Wang Lingguan nodded calmly, then turned around and flew toward Jade Lake.

[However, just as Wang Lingguan turned around, he was instantly shocked. He wanted to turn around, but it was already too late.

[Yang Jian’s three-pointed, double-edged sword pierced through Wang Lingguan’s chest, shocking all of the heavenly soldiers and generals.

“Hmph!”

[Yang Jian snorted coldly and directly flung Wang Lingguan away. Then, he spoke to the immortals around him.

“Today, I, Yang Jian, will rebel!”

[His words shocked not only the immortals of the Heavenly Court but also the demons who had attacked the Heavenly Court together.

[Yang Jian was the number one combat general of the Heavenly Court. If even Yang Jian rebelled, the Heavenly Court was completely hopeless.

“Kill!”

[As the demons shouted, all the rebel soldiers charged into Jade Lake.

[You silently watched everything that was happening before your eyes. Everything was going according to your plan, moving forward steadily.

[At Western Paradise’s Great Thunderclap Temple…

[Tathagata, who had been in the middle of preaching, suddenly had a change in expression. He quickly pinched his fingers and calculated before exclaiming, “Not good… The Jade Emperor is dead, and the three realms are in chaos…”

[The surrounding Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were all shocked after hearing Tathagata’s words.

[At that moment, Tian Nu finally arrived at Western Paradise and shouted, “Buddha, save us! The demons of the lower realm have rebelled and fought their way to the Heavenly Court. The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother have retreated to Jade Lake and need reinforcements!”

“Preposterous! All monks, quickly follow me to subdue the demons!” Tathagata said. Then, he led everyone to the Heavenly Court.

[However, by the time Tathagata arrived at the Heavenly Court, it had already been completely conquered. The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother’s heads had already been hung on the South Heavenly Gate.

[Yang Jian’s betrayal caused chaos in the entire Heavenly Court. In addition, there were already many heavenly soldiers and generals that had been incited by Nezha to rebel. The Heavenly Court did not put up any resistance and was directly occupied.

[The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother did not wait for reinforcements. What they waited for were only Yang Jian’s sword and Nezha’s spear.

[Just like that, the Heavenly Court that ruled the three realms was completely destroyed.

“You vile creatures! How dare you destroy the Heavenly Court!?”

[Tathagata was truly enraged this time around. Even though the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist League were from two different camps, they were still in a mutually dependent relationship.

[If the Heavenly Court did not govern the three realms, a bunch of monks like them would have to chant sutras and manage the mortal world.

[Furthermore, after many years of development, the Buddhist League had gradually taken control of the Heavenly Court. Now, with the destruction of the Heavenly Court, all their previous arrangements had vanished.

“Forget it, forget it. Since that’s the case, let’s just set up a Heavenly Court and rebuild the world.”

[Tathagata’s face turned cold as he slapped down with his massive palm.

[Tathagata had used all his strength in this attack. The huge hand slammed toward Yang Jian and the others as if the sky was falling.

“Hmph! If you want to create a new world, you should first ask for my permission.”

[At that moment, you suddenly appeared beside Yang Jian.

[Without any extra movements, you directly punched out and shattered Tathagata’s large hand.

“You’re the mastermind behind this? I was wondering why the heavenly secrets were in a mess when I calculated earlier. It turns out that someone had interfered.”

[Tathagata’s face turned even colder. He could already sense the apocalyptic aura emanating from your body.

“That’s right. Not only do I want to destroy the Heavenly Court, but I also want to eradicate the Buddhist League,” you said directly without any scruples.

[For a moment, all the Buddhas who were following Tathagata were furious.

[A fat monk walked out slowly and said to Tathagata, “Buddha, let me teach him a lesson!”

[Tathagata took a look and nodded slowly. Tathagata doesn’t have much understanding of your strength, so it’s good to have a subordinate to test you.

[The chubby monk came to you and took out a cloth sack.

“I’ll let you know how powerful I, the Buddha of the East, am.”

[The Buddha of the East was Maitreya, the future Buddha of Buddhism, the heir of Buddha.

[The Maitreya of this world had an extraordinary cultivation base. He had already reached the 8th Protostar of the Heavenly Lord realm. With his superior-grade connate spiritual treasure, his combat strength was not much weaker than an ordinary 9th Protostar Heavenly Lord.

[The cloth sack flew up high and instantly created endless gales. A huge suction force came continuously, trying to suck you into the sack.

“Tathagata, don’t let your subordinates go up to the stage. You should just directly take action.”

[You’ve already sensed several wills checking this place, and each of them has a cultivation base that’s not weaker than yours.

[However, no one showed themselves. It was likely that they also wanted to see what you planned to do in the end before deciding whether to make a move or not.

[As you spoke, you directly shot out a Sea-Pacifying Pearl.

[Since you had to suppress Great Immortal Zhenyuan, you could only use 12 of the 24 Sea-Pacifying Pearls. Otherwise, Great Immortal Zhenyuan would easily break free.

[Although the power was a little weak, it was enough to deal with Maitreya’s cloth sack.

[The Sea-Pacifying Pearl quickly entered the cloth sack and pierced through it.

[Maitreya also spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, seriously injured because his weapon was destroyed.

[When Tathagata saw this, he could only silently mutter, “Amitabha.” He sat on the lotus platform and flew in front of you.

“Fellow Daoist, you must not be a native of this world.”

[Tathagata still wanted to chat with you a little more, but you weren’t in the mood. You directly raised your hand and shot out a Sea-Pacifying Pearl.

[The Sea-Pacifying Pearls were more powerful than the top Dharmic treasures from this Intermediate World. They had never failed in your hands.

[However, you were greatly surprised this time by Tathagata.

[That was because Tathagata had managed to block it.

[Without using any magic treasure, he held the Sea-Pacifying Pearl in his hand with his physical body.

“As expected, it’s a magic treasure from an upper world. You must be here to take advantage of our world’s origin energy,” Tathagata said calmly.

[When you were in the Grand Mystery Universe, Grand Mystery had told you that experts in the Intermediate Worlds would plunder each other’s origin energy. There were even cases of war between the two worlds.

[It’s just that you didn’t expect that Tathagata of this world would know about this and make a judgment about you.]
