#2159 - The Tathagata Buddha took action
Maitreya accepted Chu Hao's suggestion, returned to gather all the strength of the Demon Clan, and began to launch a war against the Western Heavens.
On the one hand, Maitreya sent a group of powerful demon generals to lead their subordinates to intercept and kill the big shots and elite combat forces of the Western Heavens who were distributed in various places.
On the other hand, he personally led the main force of the Demon Clan, gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and launched an attack on Mount Ling.
This two-pronged approach was an excellent plan, which naturally plunged the Western Heavens into a predicament.
The Tathagata Buddha personally led the Buddhas of the Western Heavens to the foot of Mount Ling. Looking at the hundreds of thousands of attacking Demon Clan troops, even the Tathagata Buddha felt a headache.
"The Demon Clan is taking advantage of the fire. What should we do now?"
Tathagata asked Guanyin and others.
"The Demon Clan has come prepared this time, and the power of our Western Heavens is distributed in various places, and there is not enough power to fight them.
Fortunately, the Buddha is in charge, and no one is the Buddha's opponent, and they dare not blindly attack. We can choose to defend and notify the people from all over to return for support immediately."
Guanyin suggested to the Tathagata Buddha, which is the only way to break the situation now.
"Even if we mobilize all the manpower back, and defeat the Demon Clan army, so what? Won't all the areas under the jurisdiction of our Western Heavens fall into the hands of demons?"
The Tathagata Buddha could not agree with Guanyin's suggestion.
Mobilizing all the personnel back to the Western Heavens can resist the attack of the Demon Clan army, but the demons in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Western Heavens will not have any restraints.
With those tens of thousands of demons, I am afraid that it will only take a short time to turn the areas under the jurisdiction of the Western Heavens into a living hell.
Then, if the Western Heavens only has Mount Ling left, what can it do? This is absolutely unacceptable to the Tathagata Buddha.
"Buddha, no matter what, it is important to repel the Demon Clan first."
"If Mount Ling falls, the situation will be irreversible."
"I think the Buddha's concerns are also very reasonable."
On this issue, the rest of the people immediately split into two factions, one side agreeing with Guanyin's suggestion to repel the Demon Clan first.
The remaining people agreed with Tathagata's words that the areas under the jurisdiction of Mount Ling cannot be completely reduced to the world of demons, otherwise the foundation of Mount Ling will be destroyed.
"Let all the disciples retreat to Mount Ling, and I will personally meet the Demon Clan."
After thinking about it, the Tathagata Buddha decided.
As his order was issued, the Western Heaven disciples and monks who could not resist retreated to Mount Ling one after another.
The Tathagata Buddha led Guanyin and others towards the Demon Clan army.
Maitreya, who was in the Demon Clan army, appeared somewhat nervous when he saw the Tathagata Buddha's personal arrival.
Although Maitreya gathered all the power of the Demon Clan this time, he already had an absolute advantage in personnel against the Western Heavens.
However, after all, the Western Heavens has the Tathagata Buddha in charge, and this alone is enough to make the Demon Clan very afraid.
The Tathagata Buddha is the number one powerhouse in the Three Realms, and everyone in the Three Realms knows this.
Maitreya's strength is comparable to that of Dipankara Ancient Buddha, but he is still a bit inferior to the Tathagata Buddha. Moreover, among the Demon Clan, apart from him, there are not many who have the strength to resist the Tathagata Buddha.
Although the Demon Clan is attacking Mount Ling, they also know that with the Tathagata Buddha sitting here, it is extremely difficult to capture Mount Ling.
"Maitreya, you traitor to Buddhism, how dare you launch such a large-scale attack on my Buddhist Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss? Today, I will definitely clean up the house and eliminate you, a rebellious disciple."
The Tathagata Buddha rebuked Maitreya.
"Tathagata, although you are powerful, I am not afraid of you. Your Western Heaven's Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is the biggest land of sin in the Three Realms."
Although Maitreya was tough on the surface, he did not dare to confront the Tathagata Buddha alone, because he was very clear about the gap in strength.
Beside Maitreya, there were also ten of the strongest Demon Kings of the Demon Clan, who were going to take action with Maitreya.
"Set up the Demon Clan's Heaven-Covering Formation."
The Tathagata Buddha's cultivation as a saint is not for nothing. With just the power of a single palm, he can move mountains and fill seas. Below the saint, it is difficult to withstand one of his supernatural powers.
"Demonic energy gathers in the body, break it for me."
Seeing the Tathagata Buddha's giant Buddha hand pressing down, Maitreya shouted loudly.
Along with his shout, the surrounding demonic energy quickly gathered into Maitreya's body, and at the same time, Maitreya's body also swelled rapidly like an inflated balloon.
In the blink of an eye, Maitreya's body became as huge as a mountain, and his body also turned into a faint black color due to the influx of demonic energy.
Maitreya's palms faced upwards, and suddenly two huge streams of demonic energy, like sharp swords, were released.
They collided with the giant Buddha hand pressing down in the sky, forming huge energy fluctuations.
The two streams of demonic energy quickly penetrated the giant Buddha hand, and after penetrating, the demonic energy began to dissipate.
Two holes appeared in the Buddha's hand. As the holes grew larger, it suddenly shattered and disappeared into the air.
Maitreya also lost half of his original mountain-like body due to the loss of demonic energy.
At the same time, the ten Demon Kings occupying each side also showed a trace of fatigue on their bodies.
Maitreya was able to confront the Tathagata Buddha and break his offensive supernatural powers, relying not on his own pure power.
But through the formation, fusing the power of the ten Demon Kings into his body, he was able to fight against the Tathagata Buddha.
"Amitabha, heretical methods."
Seeing that Maitreya had actually received his attack, the Tathagata Buddha was also a little surprised and felt incredible about this Demon Clan formation.
But the Tathagata's mouth was still tough, and he continued to launch an offensive towards Maitreya, putting his hands together and chanting the magic formula at the same time.
"Ten Directions Holy Buddhas!"
As the Tathagata Buddha's magic formula was chanted, ten huge golden Buddha shadows appeared in the sky. Each golden Buddha shadow was as large as a mountain, standing upright.
"What a strong power."
Seeing the appearance of these ten golden Buddha shadows, Maitreya's eyes could not help but become more dignified, because he had already felt a strong force of pressure.
The ten Demon Kings maintaining the formation also felt the pressure, and their bodies once again quickly released streams of demonic energy, sending power to Maitreya.
