"Kasyapa... Kasyapa... Kasyapa!!!"
Just as Xiahou You was marveling at this way of battling with divine power, a Divine Being's Dharma Aspect suddenly rose from the vast marsh, most of its body entwined in waterweed.
Unlike the other Divine Beings' Dharma Aspects nearby, this one not only wore a face full of fury but also kept roaring Ancient Buddha Kasyapa's name.
It was as though it bore an immense grudge against Ancient Buddha Kasyapa.
