Ten-Breath Battle, Myriad-Year Contention (Part IV)

The flow rate of thoughts was far too fast. By Buddhist standards, a single breath contained at least four hundred thoughts, and a single thought held nine hundred cycles of birth and destruction, forming thirty-six thousand rises and falls.

The three-way thoughts attacked each other, creating ten or a hundred times more evil karma than ordinary people.
