" Peak Quasi-Sage?!"
Sensing the pressure emanating from the Golden Cicada Master, Tathagata's expression changed completely.
The contempt in his eyes turned into unprecedented shock.
He remembered very clearly that his second disciple was indeed only at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm before he went into seclusion.
Now that he had been in seclusion for more than ten years, he had actually become a peak Quasi-Sage.
However, they were on equal footing with him, the Lord of the Buddhist Sect.
At this moment, Tathagata couldn't help but think of Sun Wukong.
It was the same for Sun Wukong. In just ten years, he had gone from the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm to the quasi-advanced stage.
Could it be that the Golden Cicada Master was the same?
"That's right. I've reached the peak of the Quasi-Sage Stage.”The Golden Cicada Master smiled.
After obtaining the Boneless Sarira given to him by Daoist Nine Leave, he had only thought that this treasure would at most allow him to attain the Zenith Heaven Dao.
However, after he went into seclusion, he realized that he had underestimated this treasure.
After refining the relic, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.
In more than ten years, he had successively broken through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and Quasi-Sage realms.
In the end, he actually reached the peak of the quasi-sage realm.
"Golden Cicada Master, who helped you reach Quasi-Sage?”
Tathagata's gaze was like a knife as he stared at the Golden Cicada Master.
"Who exactly was it that secretly schemed against our Buddhist Sect and made you do such a betrayal?!”
"Isn't Buddha's Dharma vast? Why don't you go and find it yourself?”The Golden Cicada Master laughed.
"You don't want to tell me? It doesn't matter. After I take you down, it won't be too late to slowly interrogate you.”
A cold smile appeared on Tathagata's lips.
"If you want to take me down, you'll have to see if Buddha has the ability.”
The Golden Cicada Master said calmly.
"Since you want to die, then I'll grant you your wish!”
Rulai was furious. His body moved as he charged towards the Golden Cicada Master.
The Golden Cicada Master didn't say anything else and directly went up to meet him.
Boom!
The battle between the two peak Quasi-Sages caused terrifying shockwaves to sweep in all directions.
Countless Buddhist disciples were swept away by the aftershock.
The Great Thunderclap Temple that had just been rebuilt was also instantly turned into dust under the exchange of blows between the two.
"My Great Thunderclap Temple!"
A hint of heartache flashed across Gautama Buddha's eyes.
The Great Thunderclap Monastery had just been rebuilt, and countless treasures had been used. Yet, it was destroyed just like that.
"Today, I will skin you alive and pull out your tendons!”
Rage surged in Gautama Buddha's eyes, and his entire body emitted a dense killing intent.
"Just as well. Disciple also wishes to suppress the Ancestral Buddha.”
The Golden Cicada Master said coldly.
"After suppressing you, I will reorganize the Buddhist Sect and clean up the accumulated abuses. I will make the Buddhist Sect a truly compassionate Buddhist Sect that pities all Saints.”
"Good, good, good. I didn't expect you to have such ambition. Then let me see if you have the ability.”
As Gautama Buddha spoke, he no longer held back. He took out all kinds of Numinous treasures and charged towards the Golden Cicada Master.
Soon, the two of them fought again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Loud explosions resounded throughout the entire holy mountain like thunder.
Very soon, the Golden Cicada Master was at a disadvantage. He was suppressed by Gautama Buddha and did not have much strength to fight back.
"Oh no, Tathagata has too many treasures, but I have almost no treasures.”
"If this continues, I'll definitely lose. I'm afraid my life will be in danger!”
Before Gautama Buddha entered Buddhism, he was already known as the Treasure Daoist, which showed how many treasures he had.
After he became the leader of the Buddhist Sect, he received many rewards from the Two Sages of the West.
In this battle, all kinds of treasures emerged one after another.
On the other hand, the Golden Cicada Master only had a Postnatal spirit treasure, the Buddhist staff, as his weapon. Naturally, he was unable to retaliate against Rulai.
"Golden Cicada Master, do you think you can fight me just because you've reached the peak of the Quasi-Sage Stage? How naive." Tathagata smiled.
"Today, I will kill you here. I won't let a demon like you escape.”
As he spoke, he shouted,
"All Buddhist Sect disciples, listen up!”
The Buddhist disciples of the Spirit Mountain charged out one after another. In just a moment, they set up a large array and surrounded the Golden Cicada Master.
Last time, their formation had allowed Sun Wukong to escape. This was because Sun Wukong's strength was extremely powerful.
Although the Golden Cicada Master's cultivation level was higher, his strength was far inferior.
Being trapped in the array, it was difficult to break out of the encirclement. It seemed that it would not be long before he was killed on the spot.
At this moment, the Golden Cicada Master, who had been surrounded, suddenly smiled.
"Master, do you really think you can trap me like this?”
"Hmph, you're alone. You're trapped in a formation. What ability do you have to escape?”Tathagata sneered.
"Who said I was the only one?" The Golden Cicada Master laughed.
"Oh, could it be that you have accomplices?”
Rulai's heart skipped a beat. If the Golden Cicada Master really had accomplices, he could capture them together.
At that time, he would follow the clues and find out who was scheming against the Buddhist Sect behind the scenes.
"Since you want to see it so much, I'll fulfill your wish.”
The Golden Cicada Master stretched out his hand and pointed at the Spirit Mountain in the distance.
In an instant, the entire Spirit Mountain shook violently.
At the same time, laughter came from below the spirit mountain.
The laughter was filled with madness, hatred, and killing intent.
"Hahahaha, I'm finally out.”
"Buddhist monks, wash your necks and wait. Your grandfather is here to look for you!”
"Buddhist monk, today, I will bathe the Spirit Mountain in blood and turn your Buddhist pure land into hell!”
Accompanied by this wild laughter, figures soared into the sky from the foot of the Spirited Mountain.
Seeing this scene, Tathagata's expression immediately changed drastically.
"Vile disciple, how dare you release these demons!”
"Why not?" The Golden Cicada Master chuckled.
"Although there are humans, demons, fiends, immortals, and ghosts among them, in my opinion, they are all cultivators of the Three Realms.”
"Just because they don't believe in Buddhism and don't join the Buddhist Sect, they were captured by you and thrown into the Spiritual Mountain, into the Buddhist Prison, and forcefully purified.”
"Compared to them, you Buddhists are the true demons!”
"Today, I want to leave the Buddhist Sect. Naturally, I have to release the Three Thousand Guests of the Red Dust who have been imprisoned by the Buddhist Sect. I have to give them freedom and let them escape the imprisonment and torture of the Buddhist Sect.”
Hearing the Golden Cicada Master's laughter, Gautama Buddha's face turned extremely ugly.
The Three Thousand Guests of the Red Dust that were suppressed were all tough bones that refused to submit and join the Buddhist Sect.
Each of them was not weak.
Now that the Golden Cicada Master had released all of them, they had become a powerful force.
With their deep-seated hatred for the Buddhist Sect, they would definitely not let go of the Buddhist Sect disciples who had imprisoned and abused them for many years.
Today, the holy mountain and pure land would probably really become Asura Hell.
