Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

After dozens of moves, Emperor Tathagata's flat attacks gradually lost their effectiveness. Although they were all aimed at the same arm, they only accumulated to leave a slightly deep mark.

Instead, Mara gradually gained control of the Tathagata's attack rhythm, ignoring One Page Book and simultaneously wrapping his four arms around the Buddha's head.

Once entangled or brought closer, given Mara's physical strength, it would be very difficult for the Buddha's head to escape.

"Zen Sea Thunder Sound, drink!"

In the face of crisis, the Buddha Tathagata channeled his power into the precept sword, creating four shadows that each aimed a deadly strike at Mara's four arms.

"A single breath can move mountains and rivers!"

With a flick of his whisk, a surge of holy energy transformed into a fierce palm strike, shooting swiftly towards Bo Xun.

It was time to enter. Luo Hou stood up and threw a punch.

"Break the Sun!"

Before the man arrived, the fist came first. The familiar aura made Bo Xun immediately counterattack and block Rahu's punch.

Cha-cha-cha.

The four blades struck the four arms, like scraping, producing a piercing metallic sound.

Boom! Bang!

One Page Book stood diagonally behind Emperor Tathagata. His Buddha palm struck first, hitting Mara's left chest hard. Although his golden body was not broken, the force of the impact was too great, still forcing Mara to retreat three steps.

Rahu's fist followed, but the target was Bo Xun's waist.

Having learned from his experience at Mount Luofu, Bo Xun had already positioned his arms around his waist to block the punch.

A powerful surge came, and Bo Xun retreated three steps.

"Luo Hou, I didn't expect you to recover so quickly."

Upon seeing Rahu, Mara showed a look of astonishment.

No matter how severe the damage the three bodies had suffered, as long as the three spirits merged, all the wounds were wiped away. Mara never expected that Rahu would also recover.

"Did Rahu's abilities surprise you?"

Trash talk is essential during battles, especially when facing a tanky boss like Mara. Rahu, unusually quiet as he is, tries to buy time for the Buddha.

This aggression was well-intentioned, and Mara was indeed provoked. Ignoring the Tathagata's gentle touch, four of his six arms attacked Rahu.

"Formless Void!"

"The raging sea demolishes the mountain!"

Mara unleashed two ultimate moves simultaneously, causing a sandstorm to swirl, the earth to tremble, the sky to darken, and the world to be filled only with the karma of evil and demons.

Although Mara is a physical boss, his moves have a corrosive effect.

Luo Hou possesses demonic energy and is not afraid of demonic influences entering his body. Yi Ye Shu's body is transformed from an evil spirit and can also resist the erosion of this evil power. However, Buddha's head is a pure Buddha body and cannot withstand demonic contamination.

Fortunately, Mara's attacks were all directed at Rahu.

Although the Buddha felt his breath stagnate, he was not seriously injured. He took the opportunity to step back a few steps, ran his fingers across the blade, and infused it with Buddhist energy. The blade suddenly gleamed, and the sound of chanting resounded across the vast desert.

Mara's vision shifted, the world changed color, and he was pulled into a space filled with Buddhist scriptures, specifically the opening scroll of the Buddha's teachings.

The volumes are vast, like a boundless ocean of books.

Every word radiated Buddhist light, and every image chanted Buddhist scriptures. The light and sound pierced the depths of Mara's mind, causing him a splitting headache.

"What's going on?"

"Damn it! My head!"

The change of scenery caused Bo Xun's two moves to miss. Just as he was feeling dizzy and his head was throbbing, a sudden gust of wind rang out, and a blade aura that had increased by at least 30% rushed towards him.

"First Dhyana, Three Forms - Between Bodhi, Cheers!"

No matter how fierce the attack or how great the damage, the Buddha's voice remained as gentle as ever, as if he were still sweeping fallen leaves at the gate of Yun Gu Lei Feng.

However, to Mara, the sound was like a raging flood or a ferocious beast, a voice imbued with the power of the Buddha's teachings, penetrating deep into Mara's heart and transforming into an angry Vajra.

"Shut your mouth, you wicked and violent wrathful wrath that shakes the heavens!"

The advantage of the opening move is that it suppresses Mara's demonic influence and enhances the Buddha's attack. The disadvantage is that it reduces the battle range, disrupting the original strategy of the three of them working together and taking turns kiting.

Luo Hou adjusted his strategy accordingly, and with a wave of his hand, Jidu transformed into a short-handled form, engaging in close combat with Buddha Head and Bo Xun, while Yi Ye Shu distanced himself to fight.

"Kidu Breaks the Sun!"

At close range, Ketu's blade appeared even heavier and more imposing, and a dense, almost condensed blade aura burst forth, slicing across Bo Xun's waist.

Mara's six arms waved each other, with two arms opening their palms to grab the two swords and two arms protecting his waist.

Unexpectedly, the power of the Tathagata Buddha within the opening scroll greatly increased. Just as Mara grabbed the precept knife with one of his arms, the knife broke through the demon's grasp, the blade reversed and struck the spot where the knife mark had been left, instantly creating a wound.

The golden statue on this arm has been broken.

Having succeeded in one move, and knowing that he should retreat at this moment, Emperor Tathagata refused to give up the rare opportunity and channeled a stream of Buddhist power into Mara's wound.

Mara roared in pain, his demonic hand fell, knocking the Buddha's head back. Then, he clasped his arms together and snapped the monk's knife in two.

"Uh~"

Emperor Tathagata tumbled to the corner of the wall and spat out a mouthful of crimson blood.

At the same time, Rahu's Jidu struck Bo Xun's arms at the waist with a loud crack, sparks flying as metal rubbed against flesh.

Luo Hou did not let go, using his remaining strength to push against Bo Xun, advancing inch by inch.

"Armor-Piercing Sharp Seven-Spinning Finger!"

Yi Ye Shu strode forward, his five fingers reaching for the wound inflicted by Emperor Rulai. If he succeeded, he would tear the arm apart.

At the same time, the whisk swept out a powerful force, striking towards the waist of Mara, who was locked in a stalemate with Rahu.

Even with their combined attacks, Mara's six arms were not enough. Knowing that Emperor Tathagata was injured at this time, Mara could have pressed his advantage and killed the enemy instantly. However, Mara was pushed back by Rahu and moved further and further away from Emperor Tathagata.

Bo Xun, consumed by rage, deliberately retreated, creating distance before unleashing another fierce palm strike: "Heaven-Destroying Fierce Palm, break me!"

Unexpectedly, Mara's move was not aimed at the three of them, but at the space of the Opening Scroll. Instantly, a world-destroying demonic power roared in, with rolling demonic flames and scorching black energy, shattering the barrier in one fell swoop.

The opening chapter is clear and the main text is broken.

All three were thrown back by the shockwave. The already injured Emperor Rulai suffered a new wound and fell ten feet away.

"Triple Extreme Return to Origin Slash, shout!"

To save his comrades, Rahu retreated and immediately stopped, while Ketu instantly extended into a long handle, unleashing a powerful strike at Mara.

This strike came too fast and too hard, unleashing a force even stronger than Mount Luofu, as if all the mountains and rivers in the world had been combined, forcing Mara to stop his pursuit of the Buddha.

Mara, brimming with demonic energy, simultaneously unleashed his six arms upon Ketu.

Luo Hou used all his strength in this strike.

The three-colored extreme essence circulated wildly within the body, draining half of the internal energy.

The setting sun casts its last rays, turning the yellow sand like blood.

The peerless demon god and the unparalleled hero clashed with their power, and with a deafening roar, a severed arm flew into the sky, and the demon god's blood splattered like rain.

With this strike, Rahu did not aim for Mara's most vulnerable waist, but instead struck the wound left by Emperor Tathagata, severing his arm in one blow.

Mara roared in anguish as he looked up at the sky.

Similarly, Rahu also paid a price. After Ketu unleashed his attack, he retreated before he could finish the move and was still struck in the chest by Mara's fist, breaking two of his ribs.

Without giving Mara a chance to heal, Yi Ye Shu unleashed his Buddhist power: "The Holy Path of the Lotus Opens with Heavenly Light!"

Holy light rained down, and lotus blossoms illuminated the world. In the radiant gold, a sacred lotus slowly rotated, enveloping Mara within it.

Just as both sides were unleashing their ultimate techniques, Emperor Rulai was carried away by Shao Hao for emergency treatment.

With the addition of the Eighth Grade Supernatural Power and the Pure Dharma Holy Merit of the Bodhisattva, Emperor Tathagata was quickly restored, and Holy Amitabha further replenished his Buddha power.

"Thank you, Bodhisattva. Thank you, Shaohao. Thank you, World Honored One."

Jing Liuli asked worriedly, "Buddha, are you still able to fight? Why don't you let me take your place?"

Ye Xiaochai became even more eager: "Hehehe!"

"I have recovered to 80%. We will proceed according to the established strategy. You need not go into battle until the very last moment."

Everyone was well aware that this was a long and drawn-out battle, a contest of endurance.

"Fortunately, Mara has lost an arm and his golden body is broken. As long as we stop him from healing, victory will surely belong to us."

Emperor Rulai stood up: "I will go and replace the Martial Lord."

With a flash of golden light, the Buddha's head returned to the battlefield, his palms pressed together, and a vast light transformed into countless palm shadows: "Our Buddha's Compassionate Voyage - One Heart as One - Vajrasattva Swastika Lotus Repentance!"

He no longer held the monk's knife; his palm shadow naturally transformed into a knife.

At the beginning of Zen practice, one sees mountains as mountains and water as water; when one has an awakening in Zen, one sees mountains as not mountains and water as not water; when one has a complete enlightenment in Zen, one sees mountains as mountains and water as water again.

Emperor Tathagata meditated in the hell of Nirvana for four years, liberating evil spirits and observing mountains and rivers. The insights he gained were now fully incorporated into martial arts, which actually triggered a sudden change in the world, shaking the entire world.

Suddenly, a sandstorm roared up, forming a giant swastika between heaven and earth. Buddhist light shone from beyond the sky, and Buddhist chants descended from the heavens, as if the Buddha himself had come to cleanse the world.

Upon seeing this strange phenomenon, Luo Hou rushed to the Pan Yin Divine Palace to treat him.

The Bodhisattva was sighing with Amitabha Buddha, "We never imagined that the Buddha was so diligent; we are far inferior to him."

"Amitabha."

Shao Hao helped Luo Hou up: "Godfather, sit down quickly, your bones are broken!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Hao'er."

"Godfather, bear with it."

Shao Hao used his eighth-grade divine power again to reattach Luo Hou's bones as quickly as possible. Luo Hou did not need to recuperate and instantly returned to the battlefield to take over from Yi Ye Shu, who had been knocked away.

At this moment, both the raiding team and the BOSS have lost 20% of their health.

Pulled by the three, Bo Xun couldn't find a chance to heal himself. Seeing Yi Ye Shu withdraw from the battlefield again, he roared angrily, "Shameless righteous path!"

Mida had no desire to fight any longer: "Yanda, why don't we retreat first?"

Although the three spirits are united and share the Buddha's heart, the origin of the Buddha's heart lies in the evil body, and Mida cannot control the behavior of the three bodies.

Luo Hou coldly said, "Absorbing the vital energy of eight subordinates and leaving tens of thousands of followers to lie dead in the wilderness, isn't that shameless? Claiming to be a believer, yet using believers as your own energy reservoir, isn't that shameless? The Desire Realm, deceiving the world and stealing fame; Mara, utterly shameless!"
