Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1282 - 53: Zhunti_2

The purpose, naturally, is the Dharma Manifestation and Dao Artifact.

As long as one obtains the Dao Artifact of Amitabha, or even drives the Dharma Manifestation, everything will be settled. Whether it's Karma Tathagata or Emperor Jiang, they will ultimately have no choice but to retreat.

"Want to take the Dao Artifact?"

A faint voice came from the center of the waves, where a pitch-black figure suddenly transformed, splitting into a pure white figure.

With white hair and white clothes, appearing like a celestial being, pure and extraordinary, it was the body of the Awakened.

The Awakened traversed the void, seemingly slow but actually swift, catching up from the other side, intercepting Medicine Buddha in mid-air.

"Using Buddhist Law to attack a poor monk…"

Medicine Buddha watched as the white-clothed Awakened approached, the Glazed Buddha Light revolving, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Where are the Yakshas?"

"The Yakshas are here."

The Twelve Yaksha Generals reappeared, to protect the Dao of Buddhism and defend the righteous law.

Previously, in the boundless desert, the Twelve Yaksha Generals were entirely obliterated by Jiang Li, but as long as Medicine Buddha remains, the Twelve Yaksha Generals can reappear even if they are reduced to ashes.

Their True Spirits have always been under the control of Medicine Buddha.

In a certain sense, the relationship between the Twelve Yaksha Generals and Medicine Buddha is akin to the Buddhas of the Pure Land in relation to Amitabha. As long as Amitabha can reappear, he can resurrect the Buddhas.

Similarly, Medicine Buddha can also expend his own Power to resurrect the Yaksha Generals.

"Heterodox demon, do you not surrender yet?"

Leading the charge, the azure Divine General, Fazhe Luo, shouted angrily, like a lion's roar, shaking the heart and mind, and simultaneously aligning with the remaining eleven generals in a Buddha Formation, each majestic Dharma Manifestation rapidly expanding.

But before they could manifest the appearance of demon-subduing, the Awakened had already moved through the void, pushing with his palm as if opening a door to see the mountain, naturally, yet imbued with the mighty power of shaking the earth, shattering the Buddha Light with a single palm, crushing Fazhe Luo effortlessly.

The remaining eleven generals were all affected by the Palm Power, their bodies and Dharma Manifestations exploding simultaneously.

The white-clothed Awakened wiped away the insignificant dust, striding through the void, stepping tens of feet in a single bound, with a Qi Mechanism that seemed to warp the Great Thousand World, suppressing thought and mind, dulling them to oblivion.

A vast Buddha Wheel turned into reality as the white-clothed Awakened approached, displaying the past Majestic Tribulation, the present Virtuous Tribulation, and the future Star Constellation Tribulation, embodying the meaning of the Four Holy Truths, with Buddha Light like a rainbow, striking through the sky.

The Medicine Buddha's Glazed Buddha Light reacted, colliding with that Buddha Light, then clashing with the advancing Buddha Wheel, resounding explosively.

"Boom!"

The glazed-colored Buddha Light shattered, and Medicine Buddha was involuntarily shaken back.

"Your Buddhist Law..." Medicine Buddha was astoundingly shocked.

This was because the Buddhist Law of this white-clothed Awakened was unfathomably profound.

The True Spirit of the Awakened was destroyed by the Six Souls Banner, replaced by another side's Karma Tathagata. And Karma Tathagata progressed triumphantly on the Demon Path, integrating the Devaputra Dao Fruit. Even when acquiring the Awakened's physical body and foundation, Buddhism and Demon Techniques practiced together should not lead to such profound Buddhist Law.

His foundation had changed, and no matter how high the Buddhist Law, it should not progress beyond what the Awakened originally achieved in contrast to Demon Techniques.

Theoretically, the white-clothed Awakened should not be able to so easily force Medicine Buddha to retreat, even if Medicine Buddha wasn't at his peak.

Yet in reality, this impossible scene unfolded.

The Buddhist Law of the white-clothed Awakened, whether in Power or proficiency, equaled that of Karma Tathagata, resembling another Karma Tathagata specialized in Buddhist Law.

Even though he integrated the Devaputra Dao Fruit of Demon Attribute, he could compare with the Medicine Buddha possessing the Tathagata Fruit Position in Buddhist Law.

"When one understands one law, they understand all laws; even the devil can become a demon; Medicine Buddha is mistaken."

The white-clothed Awakened murmured softly, the Buddha Wheel turned again, and the majestic power that could shake the void and move the earth pushed towards Medicine Buddha again.

Throughout the ages, the chiefs of the Buddha Country engaged in the practice of the past, present, and future Tribulation Methods, evolving their own Powers based on them. The Awakened's "Seven Buddhas' Sin Erasure" was created through his insight into the past Majestic Tribulation Method, while his present Virtuous Tribulation was practiced in tandem with the "Buddha's Scripture of the Strongman Moving Mountains," and through the future Star Constellation Tribulation Method, he gleaned understanding of the Way of Cause and Effect.

The Awakened was the most accomplished among the chiefs of the Buddha Country throughout the generations, mastering the Three Great Tribulation Methods to their peak.

However, even at the peak of his power, the past Awakened's achievements could not compare to the current white-clothed Awakened.

The past, present, and future's Three Great Tribulation Methods unified, wielding supreme power with every gesture.

Faced with such an offense, Medicine Buddha could only retreat, withdrawing even a hundred feet away to brace against the aftermath.

It was at this time that Medicine Buddha suddenly felt the weakening of the aftermath.

Then, vast Buddha Light obliterated the Demon Aura, sweeping away the endless Demon Realm, and the figure of Karma Tathagata was also swept by the Buddha Light.

Has Karma Tathagata been defeated?

How did he suddenly lose?

"Transform illusion into reality." Shakyamuni Tathagata looked at the figure of Karma Tathagata, speaking in a deep tone.

As the words fell, Karma Tathagata's figure faded, as if it never existed. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

This is false.

This Karma Tathagata was imagined.

The imagined Karma Tathagata, its essence like the past Seven Buddhas, was formed from the mind. But under the peak Demon Technique and the influence of the Devaputra Dao Fruit, this imagined replica managed to exhibit strength identical to the true body for a short time.

And the real Karma Tathagata...

The white-clothed Awakened revealed a slight smile, retreating to approach the Dharma Image of Amitabha, extending a hand with a push, intending to move the Dharma Image aside.

Based on the aura, the Amitabha Buddha Dao Fruit could only be in two places, one being the Seven-Colored Treasure Tree, and the other the Twelve Grade Golden Lotus beneath it.

Between these two, one must be the vessel bearing the Amitabha Buddha Dao Fruit.

If someone else were in his place, they might not be sure where the Dao Fruit truly is, but Karma Tathagata had been taught by Ksitigarbha, intimately aware of those ancient secrets.

The Amitabha Buddha Dao Fruit is certainly within the Twelve Grade Golden Lotus.

As the Amitabha Dharma Image moved lightly and the white-clothed Awakened was about to extend his hand to touch the Lotus Platform, unexpectedly at that moment—

The Seven-Colored Treasure Tree on Amitabha's lap suddenly arose, shooting out a seven-colored Divine Light to cover the white-clothed Awakened.

An incomparably grand Buddha energy, surpassing even the white-clothed Awakened and Shakyamuni Tathagata, appeared on the Seven-Colored Treasure Tree, with solemn, pure saintly light flowing over its branches.

"Dao Artifact..."

The white-clothed Awakened showed a look of astonishment, "First Grade..."

To so effortlessly restrain him, and even deceive him before, it couldn't possibly be a Second Grade Dao Artifact but only a First Grade.

Is the Amitabha Buddha Dao Fruit within this Seven-Colored Treasure Tree?

Or...

Seemingly due to the activation of the Seven-Colored Treasure Tree, another similar but distinct powerful Buddha energy emerged from the Twelve Grade Golden Lotus.

"Two First Grade Dao Artifacts!"

The Seven-Colored Treasure Tree is a First Grade Dao Artifact, and so is the Twelve Grade Golden Lotus.

Medicine Buddha, who had been forced back, saw this, with his look of shock turning into one of joy, gazing at Shakyamuni Tathagata, "Worldly Venerable, you have revived?"

Honor and respect were evident in his expression.

The earlier Medicine Buddha had also shown respect towards Shakyamuni Tathagata, considering him as leader, but compared to the current profound respect, the difference was significant.

Shakyamuni Tathagata did not answer, only maintaining a spell unknown when it was formed, remotely manipulating, with the Seven-Colored Treasure Tree turning into a Buddha Light and flashing to Shakyamuni Tathagata's back, intercepting a sword light coming through the void.

The treasure tree shone brilliantly, with a wish-power radiance falling upon Shakyamuni Tathagata.

"Previously, when speaking of Amitabha going to the Three Pure Ones, I didn't tell the whole story at that time. Amitabha was not actually alone; accompanying him was the owner of this Seven Treasures Miao Tree, my true self…"

The vast Tathagata Dharma Form gradually shrank, transforming into a sixteen-foot Golden Body, then into an ordinary human height.

Below the Seven-Colored Divine Light, Shakyamuni Tathagata gradually gained a Physical Body, "Zhunti."

With this word spoken, the aura of Shakyamuni Tathagata became incomparably harmonious, unlike the previously exposed Holy Energy, yet even more profound than before.

Letting the white-clothed Awakened succeed earlier was evidently Shakyamuni Tathagata's intentional design.

This Dharma Image of Amitabha was a trap.
