But who would have thought that he would still speak so arrogantly.
Duobao Tathagata's face darkened as he said coldly, "Haotian, you have already lost your position as Lord of the Heavenly Court. Do you still dare to speak so much?"
Old Ancestor Bodhi pressed his palms together and said, "Fellow Daoist Taishang, it is not that we refuse to spare Haotian!"
Taishang Laojun said gravely, "If you heed my words, simply spare him."
Old Ancestor Bodhi and Duobao Tathagata exchanged glances again.
"It would be fine to spare him, but let him swear a Heavenly Dao Oath."
Haotian's expression sank as he shouted, "I am the Heavenly Emperor, personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor! Who dares depose me? Duobao, do you dare fight me to determine the victor?"

Duobao Tathagata's face darkened as he said coldly, "Haotian, since you wish to fight, I shall grant your wish!"
Duobao Tathagata gave a cold shout, and terrifying power erupted from his entire body.
In an instant, boundless radiance appeared, as though it were blanketing heaven and earth.
Endless might blotted out the Sky Dome for eternity.
The chaos rumbled in response.
Taishang Laojun sighed softly and said, "Very well. Let this battle determine the victor."
Duobao Tathagata sat cross-legged atop a golden lotus, his body shrouded in endless Buddhist light.
Boom!
In an instant, the Myriad Buddha Dharma Idol manifested.
Haotian's face darkened as he shouted, "Today, I shall destroy you!"
With the Heavenly Emperor Sword in hand, he slashed toward the Myriad Buddha Dharma Idol.
The sword swept out wildly, splitting even the chaos apart.
The power of that sword was truly unmatched and irresistible.
Under that single sword strike, the Buddha Dharma Idols shattered
