Chapter 335
His back was bent, and blood was bitten out of the corner of his mouth.
But even so, the person behind Sun Wukong still didn't appear, which made Tathagata shake his head in disappointment. Could it be that his previous assumption was wrong?
"Group Master, if you don't come, I won't be able to hold on." Sun Wukong roared.
"Someone..." Buddha Tathagata's eyes lit up.
"Wukong, don't worry." A laugh came from somewhere, which made Tathagata look horrified. He had no perception of that place at all.
How could there suddenly be someone there?
And under Tathagata's gaze, a young man wearing a Daoist robe appeared there.
Or rather, that young man in the Daoist robe had been there all along.
It was just that he, Tathagata, had never discovered it.
Could it be a Saint?
This thought emerged in Buddha Tathagata's heart.
However, in an instant, Buddha Tathagata denied this guess.
In the previous Great Calamity, the Saints acted recklessly, shattering the heavens and the earth, and the entire Primordial world almost returned to Chaos.
Forcing the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had long since merged with the Dao, to take action, using the power of the Heavenly Dao to reshape the earth, fire, water, and wind, and divide the heavens and the earth, which formed the current Three Realms.
But the newly born Three Realms were far less stable than the previous Primordial world.
And because of the great mistakes made by the six Saints during the Investiture of the Gods battle, the Dao Ancestor ordered the six Saints to move to the Heavens Beyond the Heavens, and they were not allowed to go to the Three Realms without an edict.
Therefore, the current Three Realms could be said to be an era without Saints.
Even the Taiqing Saint, who was the head of the Three Pure Ones, could only move in the Three Realms as his incarnation, Taishang Laojun.
Buddha Tathagata did not believe that any Saint would dare to violate the rules set by the Dao Ancestor.
As for a Saint's incarnation, that was even more impossible.
As the Lord of Buddhism, Buddha Tathagata also had a Saint standing behind him.
Under normal circumstances, Saints basically would not pay attention to the Three Realms.
But the Journey to the West was related to whether Buddhism could flourish, and it was related to the countless eons of planning by the two Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti. It was impossible for the two Saints not to pay attention.
If a Saint intervened, the two Saints would inevitably take action as well.
As for the fighting below the Saint level, it was almost not looked upon by the Saints. For the Saints, all below the Saint level were ants.
Moreover, as long as it did not involve the Saint level, not taking personal action was also the tacit understanding among the Saints in this era.
The six Saints were still in awe of the prohibition of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
"Not a Saint, then it must be the Great Dao of Space. There are not many powerhouses in the Three Realms who are proficient in the Great Dao of Space. I don't know who this person is, whose incarnation is he?"
Buddha Tathagata looked at Luo Fu with a scrutinizing meaning, and several figures emerged in his heart, quickly matching Luo Fu's image.
Unfortunately, Buddha Tathagata recalled all the great supernatural powerhouses he knew who were proficient in the Great Dao of Space, and he had never known anyone similar to Luo Fu.
"Tathagata has met a fellow Daoist. I don't know who this Group Master... fellow Daoist is. Please forgive Tathagata for being ill-informed, as I don't know when another great power appeared in the Three Realms."
Suppressing the many guesses in his mind, Buddha Tathagata bowed in a Buddha-like manner and asked tentatively.
"Hahaha! I am a wild cultivator in the mountains and have not walked in the Three Realms for a long time. It is normal that you haven't heard of me. No, I have heard of your great name like thunder."
Luo Fu looked at Buddha Tathagata and smiled meaningfully.
He was a transmigrator, not a native of the Primordial world, so naturally, there could not be his projection in this world, and Buddha Tathagata naturally could not know him.
As for Buddha Tathagata, he naturally knew him and was very familiar with him.
After all, Buddha Tathagata's other identity was the Jie Sect's eldest senior brother, Duobao Daoren.
As a disciple of the Jie Sect, Luo Fu could not not know his own eldest senior brother.
For Eldest Senior Brother Duobao, Luo Fu still had good feelings. When he had just transmigrated and hadn't activated the system, Duobao had pointed him out more than once.
Although pointing him out was Duobao's responsibility as the eldest senior brother of the Jie Sect, this did not prevent Luo Fu from remembering this kindness.
Of course, Luo Fu's good feelings were only directed at Duobao Daoren of the Primordial world, the Duobao Daoren who had not betrayed the Jie Sect, and did not include the Buddha Tathagata before him.
He, Luo Fu, had always been a person who distinguished between gratitude and resentment. For his own people, he was certainly caring, and for traitors, it was naturally thunderous means.
Although Buddha Tathagata betrayed the Jie Sect of the Journey to the West world, it did not prevent his disgust for Buddha Tathagata.
If Buddha Tathagata did not appear in front of him, he would be too lazy to care. For him now, Buddha Tathagata, who was merely at the Quasi-Saint realm, could no longer raise his interest.
But since they met, he naturally had to give Buddha Tathagata an unforgettable lesson.
"It seems to be an old acquaintance. Fellow Daoist should be the person behind Wukong. Fellow Daoist should know the importance of this matter to my Buddhism."
Hearing Luo Fu's evasive answer, Tathagata became more and more certain that Luo Fu must be the incarnation of some familiar great supernatural powerhouse.
The great supernatural powers in the Three Realms were limited, and to become a great supernatural powerhouse, opportunity, foundation, inheritance, and fortune were all indispensable; it was impossible to suddenly appear out of thin air.
"Is Fellow Daoist sure you want to continue to intervene and be an enemy of my Buddhism?"
Buddha Tathagata locked his gaze on Luo Fu, his tone was still gentle, but under the gentleness, there was a hidden questioning.
The Journey to the West was related to the great plan of Buddhism, and Sun Wukong was one of the protagonists of the Journey to the West. Intervening in his affairs was destroying the great plan of Buddhism.
"Group Master, don't talk nonsense with this bald donkey. A hero doesn't suffer immediate losses. Let's leave here first and find a chance to settle accounts with this bald donkey later."
Sun Wukong carried the Golden Cudgel, blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth, and interrupted with a slightly hurried tone, his eyes still full of shock.
The battle just now made him completely understand the gap in strength between himself and the great supernatural powerhouses.
For Luo Fu's strength, Sun Wukong naturally recognized it, but judging from the battle just now, Buddha Tathagata was also an unfathomable guy.
He was also not sure if Luo Fu was a match for Buddha Tathagata.
Moreover, Buddha Tathagata obviously had a background. Two fists were no match for four hands. In the current situation, it was better to leave first.
"Mere Buddhism, even if we are enemies, so what? How I do things is not for you, a traitor, to teach me."
Luo Fu ignored Sun Wukong, but looked at Buddha Tathagata with a calm expression, his tone full of domineering.
"Traitor? Mere Buddhism? It seems to be an old acquaintance. Since Fellow Daoist insists on intervening in my Buddhism, let me weigh how much confidence you have."
Hearing the word "traitor," although Buddha Tathagata's face was still solemn, a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
As the eldest senior brother of the Jie Sect, but betraying the Jie Sect, this was undoubtedly the biggest dark history for Buddha Tathagata.
Now that he was the Lord of Buddhism and a great supernatural powerhouse in the Three Realms, no one dared to mention this dark history.
With his current status, Luo Fu was the first to dare to call him a traitor to his face.
Luo Fu did not care about Buddha Tathagata's mood, but looked at Sun Wukong.
"Wukong, do you trust me?"
"Of course I trust the Group Master!" Sun Wukong carried the Golden Cudgel and said without hesitation.
For Luo Fu, he naturally trusted him. Having been in the group for so long, he had seen the Group Master Luo Fu's strength and character with his own eyes.
"Since you trust me, then continue the battle just now and explode all your potential. Don't worry, with me here, even if you die, I have the ability to resurrect you."
A strange light appeared in Luo Fu's eyes, and his tone unknowingly carried a hint of bewitchment.
