"His Majesty's name is not yours to call out."
Thunder Mother smiled.
"His Majesty? Since when did you throw in with that Xiao fellow and become his lapdog, Thunder Mother?"
Liu Shisan's eyes turned cold, and black energy rose from him.
"Thirteenth Young Master, that is grave disrespect. His Majesty has decreed that he will unite the Supreme Buddha Kingdom. All Sacred Buddhas and Arhats must submit."
Thunder Mother smiled sweetly as she proclaimed the Nine-Crown Emperor's decree.
"The Nine-Crown Emperor wants to unite the Supreme Buddha Kingdom?"
"All Sacred Buddhas and Arhats must submit?"
"Should we submit or not?"
"Surely it's better for the Nine-Crown Emperor to unite the Supreme Buddha Kingdom than anyone else. Of course we should submit."
The sects and lineages bearing Golden Bodies cried out in surprise, then broke into discussion.
"Unite the Supreme Buddha Kingdom? Xiao Zhichuang certainly talks big."
How could Liu Shisan be intimidated by a few words?
"So you refuse to submit, Thirteenth Young Master?"
Thunder Mother's lovely eyes narrowed, lightning flashing in her golden pupils.
At that moment, the Joy Buddha Golden Body they bore rumbled. Buddhist dharma flowed like a river of stars, turning into endless divine chains poised to smash down upon Liu Shisan and his followers.
Liu Shisan and his followers were no pushovers either. They roared, their Golden Body blazing with light, its Buddhist dharma like a boundless ocean ready to drown space and time.
"Is it you who wants my submission, Thunder Mother, or Xiao Zhichuang? If you want me to submit, we'll have to see whether you have what it takes."
Liu Shisan sneered. The delight Buddha Golden Body towered higher, threatening to rise above the joy Buddha Golden Body.
"Are the two Sacred Buddha Golden Bodies going to war?"
The gods were alarmed.
