After Nagarjuna Bodhisattva disappeared, the world fell into silence.
The demons of the demon palace felt utter despair, as if awaiting judgment. The Buddhist monks also lowered their heads with their hands pressed together, no longer engaging in a futile struggle against the Heavenly River Navy.
Even Eternal Life Great Emperor gazed from afar at Victorious Fighting Buddha in silent stillness, unsure of how he could possibly block this Buddha who bore the name of battle—he also knew that his previous escape from Victorious Fighting Buddha's hands had been a fluke of all flukes.
After a long time, he finally raised his head and said, "Victorious Fighting Buddha, are you standing with the Heavenly Court or with the Buddhists now?"
Before Victorious Fighting Buddha could reply, the white dragon that had previously sealed him off stood close by and smiled. "As you said yourself, which side should I stand on?"
Eternal Life Great Emperor's expression grew cold. He suddenly remembered that the person who had launched the campaign against the Eternal Life Demon Palace was not only a being of great divine power, but also the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon and Bodhisattva Guangli of Spiritual Mountain!
Then Victorious Fighting Buddha calmly spoke. "My coming today is for myself, for the world, and I might also say, for my junior brother. You originally possessed rare spiritual nature between heaven and earth; if you continued to grow, your achievements would have been immeasurable, yet you walked the wrong path just like Sun Wukong did in the past. If you are willing, I will suppress you for five thousand years to atone for the wrongs you have committed. Five years from now—no, five thousand years from now, if I am still in these Three Realms, I will naturally give you an explanation."
"Hahahaha!
