Hearing what Ksitigarbha said, Tathagata was shocked.
He actually wants to be the leader of Buddhism?
"you dare!"
The Tathagata became angry due to shame.
What he worried about most finally happened.
Once upon a time, Ran Deng was the ancestor of all Buddhas.
If Taishang Laojun had not transformed Hu into a Buddha, he would have sent Tathagata to the position of the Lord of Buddhism.
How could he have the status he has today?
For so many years, he practiced hard.
He spared no effort to consolidate his position in Buddhism.
Both in terms of power and strength, he surpassed Ran Deng.
I thought that his position as the leader of Buddhism was as secure as Mount Tai.
I never thought that it would be the most critical moment to measure the calamity in Journey to the West.
Instead, Ksitigarbha, a Buddhist disciple, stabbed him in the back!
If it were in the past, he would not have to worry about Ksitigarbha threatening his status.
After all, you cannot become the master of Buddhism just by being as powerful as him.
Looking at the entire Buddhist sect, there is no one among the Buddhas who is not his confidant.
Even Guanyin calls himself a "disciple" to please the Tathagata.
But things are different now.
The journey to the west has already turned into a mess because of Sun Xiaosheng.
Not to mention all the Buddhas, even the two sages of the West were extremely disappointed with him.
Once a rift in trust occurs, it is difficult to repair.
At this time, Ksitigarbha suddenly stepped in and replaced him as the master of Buddhism. This was no longer just talk.
"Ksitigarbha."
"Are you worthy of competing with me for the mastership of Buddhism?"
"So what if you improve your cultivation."
"As long as I am willing, I can beat you back to your original form at any time!"
Tathagata said in a cold tone.
A simple threat would scare anyone out of their wits.
But Ksitigarbha was indifferent and wanted to laugh.
"That's all you have?"
Ksitigarbha laughed and said:
"The dignified master of Buddhism can only be so helpless and furious?"
Others are afraid of Tathagata, but he is not.
Because he has the strength to rival Tathagata.
Moreover, Ksitigarbha was now more confident in becoming a saint.
Even without using Journey to the West to measure calamity, he could achieve this level alone.
But the premise is that he must continue to cooperate with Sun Xiaosheng.
Having tasted the sweetness, he naturally would not give up on Sun Xiaosheng easily.
Therefore, his only choice is to fight against Tathagata.
While fighting for the master of Buddhism, change today's Buddhism.
Transform Buddhism, which is driven by the desire for power, into one that truly saves all sentient beings.
In this way, he can continue on his path to death.
Finally become a saint!
"Hoo ho!"
Suddenly, a strong wind rose in Ksitigarbha's palace.
In an instant, the cave exploded.
Rubble and gravel were flying everywhere.
Di Ting on the side was immediately frightened and hurriedly rushed out of the rubble and escaped into the underworld.
But he did not go away, but looked worriedly at the place that was supposed to be Ksitigarbha's palace, but now it was in ruins.
The strong winds were blowing continuously, and the smoke and dust were blown away by the strong winds before they could condense.
Among the ruins.
Ksitigarbha and Tathagata face each other with their eyes facing each other.
The strong murderous intention made the already cold underworld even colder.
"If two of the strongest Quasi-Saints in the Three Realms take action, the underworld simply cannot bear it."
"What if the underworld collapses and countless ghosts and ghosts flee to the three realms? The three realms will be in chaos!"
Di Ting had a look of horror on his face.
Since he understood this truth, how could Ksitigarbha and Tathagata not understand it?
But that's what power struggles are like.
No one cares about the life or death of the weak at all.
"no."
"If there is great chaos in the three realms, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will definitely be contaminated by cause and effect."
"It's better to go to the ward to call the King of Hell first and let him get ready!"
Di Ting looked anxious.
Just when he was about to leave.
A large group of Yin soldiers rushed over.
Originally, the distance between Ksitigarbha and Yama Hall was not that far.
There was such a big movement here, and Yama Luodian could naturally sense it immediately.
Therefore, Yama immediately led the bull-headed horse-faced, black and white Wuchang and various Yin soldiers to come to check the situation.
The reason why Yama mobilized troops and mobilized so many people was mainly because of Ksitigarbha's special status.
In addition, Ksitigarbha is a quasi-sage.
Someone dared to cause trouble in Ksitigarbha's palace. This matter must be serious.
King Yama did not dare to neglect, so he brought so many soldiers and horses to help.
When they arrived, they looked over and saw a big-headed monk standing in front of Ksitigarbha, covered in golden light.
That posture, that cultivation, no matter how you look at it, he looks exactly like Tathagata.
"what's the situation?"
King Yama was dumbfounded.
The dignified master of Buddhism came to the underworld and had a conflict with Ksitigarbha, who was also a disciple of Buddhism?
If this news spreads, no one will believe it.
"See Yama!"
Suddenly, an impatient voice came.
King Yama's thoughts were immediately brought back.
He turned around and saw that this was Ksitigarbha's mount and pet.
"You came just in time."
"Who is confronting your master?"
King Yama asked hurriedly.
He needs to confirm it and come up with a countermeasure.
"It's Tathagata."
Di Ting replied without hesitation.
The words fell to the ground.
The scene was surprisingly quiet.
To be more precise, it should be silence.
King Yama was as stunned as a piece of wood.
Although he had already guessed Tathagata's identity.
But when he heard the truth with his own ears, he couldn't help but be shocked.
The Tathagata really came to the underworld and had a conflict with Ksitigarbha?
What kind of thing is this?
"King of Yama."
"Now is not the time to be surprised."
"It is very likely that my master and Tathagata will fight here."
"I don't need to say more about the consequences of the confrontation between the two strongest quasi-sages in the Three Realms."
"You should understand very well."
"If you don't want the underworld to be destroyed, please ask King Yama to come up with an idea immediately!"
Di Tingyu explained it carefully.
But he no longer had time to elaborate on the reason.
"Are you...are you kidding me?"
"How can Buddhism treat the underworld like this?"
"Aren't they afraid of offending Empress Houtu?"
King Yama frowned tightly and complained with a dark face.
"hiss!"
Hearing this, Di Ting couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
He was anxious to care about Ksitigarbha and the situation in the underworld, but he forgot about another terrible existence.
Houtu Empress!
That is the only saint apart from the seven saints in Zixiao Palace.
At the beginning, Pangu opened the sky and divided the heaven and the earth.
On the earth, countless souls are displaced.
Therefore, Houtu developed a heart of compassion for heaven and earth, and transformed into the six realms of reincarnation to save the wandering souls.
The way of heaven is grateful, and the merits of the earth's greatness will be used to help him become a saint.
But this also makes Houtu unable to leave the earth, but it also makes her a symbol of the earth.
After hundreds of millions of years of transformation.
The soul of Hou Tu has long been integrated with the underworld and the six realms of reincarnation.
Some of the souls were even separated and transformed into Po Meng, teaching people to forget the sufferings of their previous lives.
Although Hou Tu no longer cares about the trivial matters of the world, he still retains his compassion for heaven and earth.
If the underworld is destroyed, it will inevitably cause a disaster.
It is no different from the killings committed by Pangu when he opened the sky.
At that time, Hou Tu will definitely take action.
But beneath the saints, they are all ants.
Tathagata and Ksitigarbha will not be able to escape the sanction of the saint even if they try!?
