Mahasthamaprapta had died just like that, beneath Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light, whose might had shaken the Primordial World.
For him, it was not an ignominious death.
In the Chaotic Void, within the World of Ultimate Bliss, Zhun Ti Buddha-Mother and Amitabha Buddha suddenly opened their eyes, their faces filled with icy disbelief.
"Mahasthamaprapta is dead!"
At that moment, blazing fury burned in both their hearts. Who dared kill their disciple?
Were they tired of living?
In her rage, Zhun Ti Buddha-Mother immediately began divining with her fingers, yet the result was utter Chaos.

"The Tribulation is still ongoing. Mahasthamaprapta may simply have answered the Tribulation. Tell Maitreya and the others to be careful."
