Chapter 164: The False Sage Suppressed Under Five-Finger Mountain

Outside the Lingxiao Precious Hall, golden light burst forth, and baleful energy soared to the heavens.

The Liu Er Mihou held the Heart-Following Iron Rod, sweeping away the last few heavenly generals before the hall with one blow each, breaking their bones and shattering their divine armor.

He laughed wildly, raised his rod, and was about to step into the hall that was the center of power in the Three Realms.

The immortals in the hall were silent as cicadas in winter.

The Jade Emperor hid under the imperial desk, his former majesty gone, leaving only terror and dishevelment on his face.

He screamed at the imperial official beside him, his voice trembling: "Quick! Quick, go to the Western Heaven and invite the Tathagata Buddha!"

As soon as the words fell, a golden light pierced through the dome of the Lingxiao Precious Hall and shone down.

The soaring demonic aura melted away rapidly under this golden light, like ice and snow under the scorching sun.

The entire Heavenly Court, whether immortals, gods, or heavenly soldiers, felt a tranquility and peace from the depths of their souls, as if all strife and slaughter had become passing smoke.

The Liu Er Mihou's foot, which was about to step into the hall, froze in mid-air.

He looked up abruptly.

He saw that above the Western Heaven, with Sanskrit chanting and heavenly flowers falling, a huge golden body of a Buddha sat on a golden lotus and slowly descended.

He looked compassionate, his eyes lowered, as if all things in the world were within his single thought.

It was the Lord of the Western Heaven's Great Lei Yin Temple, Tathagata Buddha.

"Amitabha."

The Jade Emperor scrambled from under the imperial desk, straightened his crooked imperial crown, and shouted: "Please, World-Honored One, subdue this villain!"

Tathagata Buddha nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the Liu Er Mihou outside the hall.

"You unruly monkey, why are you acting fiercely here?"

The Liu Er Mihou looked at the huge Buddha, not only without fear in his eyes but with an even more intense fighting spirit.

He knew clearly in his heart that this was acting, but in the play, there was also sincerity.

He wanted to take this opportunity to fight the Buddha fair and square!

Last time he was careless and fell into the Tathagata Buddha's trap, but this time he had gained much in the Eight-Trigrams Furnace and wanted to challenge the Tathagata Buddha again.

Tathagata Buddha's face was neither happy nor sad, and he slowly extended his right hand.

The palm grew with the wind, becoming sky-covering in an instant.

Buddha Kingdom in the Palm!

This move again!

Seeing this, the Liu Er Mihou exerted force under his feet, flipped a somersault, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, wanting to escape from the range covered by the Buddha Kingdom.

However, the moment his figure moved, a trace of coldness flashed in Tathagata Buddha's compassionate eyes.

"This evildoer actually dares to have two hearts." Tathagata Buddha thought the Liu Er Mihou was like Sun Wukong, wanting to escape his fate.

His Semi-Sage magical power was exerted without reservation.

In an instant, the Liu Er Mihou felt the surrounding space become as thick as amber.

His somersault cloud, which could travel one hundred and eight thousand miles in one flip, now felt like it was stuck in a quagmire, and every inch forward was extremely difficult.

"How can this be?!"

The Liu Er Mihou was terrified; he exerted all his strength to drive his magical power, only to find that he was completely cut off from the surrounding heaven and earth.

He was like a flying insect stuck in a spider web, struggling in vain, unable to break free from the invisible and intangible restraint.

The giant palm that covered the sky pressed down unhurriedly but irresistibly.

Only then did he truly understand how huge the gap between himself and Tathagata Buddha really was.

Subsequently, he was gathered into the palm by Tathagata Buddha.

Tathagata Buddha looked at the Liu Er Mihou in his palm, his lips moving slightly, chanting a spell.

"Om..."

The Liu Er Mihou suddenly felt his head as if it were about to explode!

An indescribable, intense pain came from the depths of his scalp, rushing straight to his primordial spirit.

He hugged his head with his hands and felt a ring appear on the top of his head, which was constantly shrinking.

"It's that golden hoop!"

He remembered the golden hoop that Tathagata had put on his head and then hidden with a spell.

"Ah—!"

The Liu Er Mihou let out a miserable scream, and the Heart-Following Iron Rod in his hand dropped to the ground with a "clang."

He hugged his head with both hands, rolling on the ground in pain.

This pain bypassed his indestructible body and acted directly on his primordial spirit.

No matter how great his abilities were, he could not resist it in the slightest.

"Buddha, spare my life!"

All his arrogance and fighting spirit were completely crushed by this boundless, intense pain at this moment.

He was covered in tears and snot, in a sorry state, kowtowing repeatedly to the Buddha in the sky to beg for mercy.

"Disciple knows he was wrong! Disciple will never dare again!"

Seeing this, Tathagata Buddha stopped chanting.

A voice that only the Liu Er Mihou could hear rang in his ears:

"Remember your identity. If there is a next time, it will not be this simple."

The voice was cold, without a trace of emotion.

The Liu Er Mihou lay on the ground and said tremblingly: "Disciple obeys..."

Seeing him completely submit, Tathagata Buddha flipped his palm.

The Liu Er Mihou, who had been tortured by the Tight-Fillet Spell until he had only half a life left, was struck down from the Heavenly Court to the mortal world by an irresistible force, transforming into a shooting star, falling toward the Nanzhan Buzhou continent of the lower realm.

Immediately after, Tathagata Buddha's giant palm that covered the sky was not withdrawn, but his five fingers spread out, pressing down slowly toward the direction where the Liu Er Mihou fell.

Those five fingers constantly grew larger during the descent, evolving into earth, stone, gold, wood, and water, transforming into five huge, connected mountain ranges.

Rumble!

A five-element mountain stretching for a thousand miles descended from the sky, smashing onto the land of Nanzhan Buzhou, pinning the Liu Er Mihou, who had just fallen, firmly under the mountain.

Subsequently, Tathagata Buddha threw down a magic talisman with the six-character mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" written on it.

The talisman descended from the sky and landed on the highest peak of Five-Finger Mountain, and the entire Five-Finger Mountain took root, completely suppressing the Liu Er Mihou underneath.

After doing all this, Tathagata Buddha withdrew his golden body, pressed his palms together toward the Jade Emperor on the throne, and nodded slightly.

"Great Heavenly Sovereign, the demon monkey has been subdued."

The voice was still compassionate, as if the thunderous means just now had nothing to do with him.

Huaguo Mountain, Water Curtain Cave.

"Big brother, what should we do now? Seventh brother's reputation has been completely ruined by that fake!" the Flood Dragon Demon King said in a panic. "Now all living beings in the Three Realms think it was seventh brother who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace and was finally suppressed by Tathagata."

"That's not the most fatal part."

Su Chen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, making the hearts of all the Great Sages present jump.

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on Su Chen.

Su Chen said: "Do you think the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect went to such great lengths, performing such an earth-shattering play, really just to ruin Brother Monkey's reputation?" ===== CHAPTER 165 =====
