Chapter 810

If not for the Journey to the West calamity, which determined whether Buddhism could flourish greatly.

If not because the Two Western Saints had a sudden intuition, sensing that the outcome of the Journey to the West wager was of utmost importance to them.

The Two Western Saints could never have summoned the past three thousand Buddha realms and the present three thousand Buddha realms.

Deploying the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array against Sun Wukong and others was like using an anti-aircraft cannon to shoot at the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.

Under the devotees' prayers, boundless Buddha light began to coalesce in the air.

Previously, when intercepting the purification beam, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array had merely condensed a colossal Buddha hand.

This time was different; the Buddha light gathered by the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array far exceeded the last time.

The Buddha light condensed into form with astonishing speed; in the blink of an eye, a gigantic golden Buddha appeared above the Western Nourishment Continent.

This golden Buddha was immensely huge.

Its entire body appeared larger than the whole Western Nourishment Continent.

The golden Buddha sat cross-legged in empty space; beneath it appeared the colossal Nine-Petaled Golden Lotus, transformed into a lotus seat.

Not only the Nine-Petaled Golden Lotus, but also in the golden Buddha's right hand was held something—the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.

Shhh!

The golden Buddha slowly raised its right hand; boundless Buddha light flowed toward the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, and with the power of the Buddha light, the golden Buddha swung its right hand directly at the Mirror Array.

A vast, multicolored Buddha light immediately shot forth from the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, sweeping across the Mirror Array.

The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree's ability to sweep away all things had little effect on the Pure Heaven Divine Pearl.

Under unequal ontological status, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree could not possibly sweep away the Pure Heaven Divine Pearl.

But the Buddha light swept forth from the golden Buddha's hand was simply too immense.

Even without activating the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree's trait of sweeping away all things, merely the Buddha light itself demanded a response from the Mirror Array.

This was the terrifying strength of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array—concentrating the power of countless Buddha realms into one, capable of unleashing an extraordinarily terrifying might.

In a sense, the might of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array resembled that of the Dao of Heaven.

The Dao of Heaven was so powerful precisely because it could mobilize the entire world's power.

The scale of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array could not possibly match the Primordial World, but like the Dao of Heaven, it mobilized and concentrated the world's power—the full strength of ten thousand mid-sized worlds.

At all times, scale was a factor that could not be ignored.

When realms were not vastly different, scale decided everything.

Hum!

The colossal multicolored light slammed violently against the Mirror Array.

Under the impact of the Buddha light, the Mirror Array began to tremble violently; all one million Pure Heaven Divine Pearls erupted with purification light, their originally gentle glow now blindingly brilliant.

All the purification light converged at the center of the Mirror Array, canceling out and consuming the Buddha light.

Under the outburst of the one million Pure Heaven Divine Pearls, the Buddha light swung by the golden Buddha was completely dissipated after several breaths.

Although the Buddha light was successfully dissipated, the Mirror Array paid a heavy price.

Compared to its initial position, the Mirror Array had risen by hundreds of meters, and the purification light emitted by the one million Pure Heaven Divine Pearls had dimmed slightly.

Clearly, the previous exchange had drained considerable energy from the Mirror Array.

Unlike the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array, which had countless Buddha realms as support and billions of devotees as backing, allowing endless replenishment of its energy, the Mirror Array relied solely on its internal stored energy for battle.

Fighting solely on stored energy meant using up one unit and losing it forever.

If the battle continued too long, the one million Pure Heaven Divine Pearls might be completely drained of all energy.

This was the drawback of a Spirit Treasure lacking a master.

The energy stored within a Spirit Treasure was extremely limited, and its rate of energy recovery was slow.

Without a master's support, a Spirit Treasure could not unleash its true might.

Only with a master's continuous supply of magic power could a Spirit Treasure truly unleash its full might without restraint.
