Defeated! All Defeated!! Disheartened, Who Exactly Was This Universal Manifestation Tathagata?

"Amitabha." Universal Manifestation Tathagata withdrew his hand and looked at Tathagata Buddha Patriarch. "World-Honored One, it is your turn."

Tathagata Buddha Patriarch took a deep breath and rose from the Golden Lotus.

Without another word, he flashed forward and appeared before Universal Manifestation Tathagata.

World-Honored Tathagata was at the Quasi-Saint Perfect Stage, only one step away from the Primordial Golden Immortal. He made no attempt to test his opponent, immediately summoning the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body he had cultivated after joining the Western Teachings.

Blinding golden light flared as a massive Golden Body Dharma Aspect appeared above the Present-Moment Pure Land.

The Dharma Aspect formed seals with both hands and pressed down upon Universal Manifestation Tathagata.

Universal Manifestation Tathagata raised a hand, meeting it with an equally massive Buddhist palm.

Boom!

The two palms collided, and the Present-Moment Pure Land shook violently.

Countless gods and Buddhas were forced back again and again by the shockwave.

Tathagata Buddha Patriarch's expression turned grave. He discovered that his Sixteen-Foot Golden Body could not suppress his opponent. Universal Manifestation Tathagata's power was not inferior to his in the slightest and even seemed faintly poised to surpass it.

The two clashed high above the Present-Moment Pure Land.

One move, two moves, ten moves, a hundred moves.

Buddhist light spilled everywhere as thunderous detonations rang out without end.

They fought from the Pure Land into the air, then from the air into the heavens.

Mighty figures throughout the Primordial Wilderness raised their heads and looked westward. They sensed two powerful auras colliding—one belonged to World-Honored Tathagata, while the other was... unfamiliar and terrifying.

"Who is that?" someone asked.

No one knew the answer.

Within the Present-Moment Pure Land, the Buddhas of the Buddhist Sect watched the battle in the sky, their expressions shifting from shock to bewilderment.
