Chapter 987: Chapter 985: The First Tribulation of All Heavens 2

The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata erupted into a silent storm of profanity.

He immediately realized he had suffered collateral damage.

That furious strike from the Supreme had not been aimed at him, but at that bastard Heaven-Abandoning Emperor.

Damn it.

Had he known this fellow would provoke the Supreme into a wrathful strike, he would have killed him without a second thought, rather than letting the bastard off.

Thinking of how the entire Saha Macrocosm was now torn apart, the Heavenly Dao gravely wounded, his own Dao-Sacrifice path destroyed — all because Lin Qi had drawn the wrathful strike of the Buddhist Supremes.

The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata's guts turned green with regret.

Seeing that the vast hand tearing apart the entire Cosmos had only grabbed Lin Qi, with no intent of erasing him on the spot, the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata's eyes turned red. Malice surged from his guts, wrath rose from his heart.

He could not help but want to strike, to kill Lin Qi outright. If not, his hatred could not be quelled.

But before the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata could truly make his move, the other four pairs of Supreme eyes coiled beyond the Cosmos shifted in an instant.

They transformed into four majestic figures not at all inferior to the Supreme Tathagata's avatar, striking simultaneously, their thoughts vast and surging.

"Tathagata."

"A slight punishment is enough. Do not act rashly."

"Hurry and hand over the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor."

Amidst the震荡 of Supreme thought, four pairs of golden hands struck out at the same time.

They intended to save Lin Qi from the Supreme Tathagata's grasp.

"Get lost. This child shows no respect for my Buddha, and has ruined my great endeavor."

"His heart is punishable, his crime unforgivable!"

The Supreme Tathagata roared in fury, showing no intent to retreat or stay his hand.

After all, the Buddhist order had no way back.

Lin Qi, under the name of Demon Buddha, had sent down the Sixth Precept within the Dream Bubble Shadow, seeking to wipe out the Buddhist order.

This was meant to completely sever the Buddhist order's possibility of entering the new world after the Great Destruction.

Such a move was not merely a thousand times more vicious than cutting off someone's wealth.

This was thoroughly severing the Buddhist order's future path.

Excluding the entire Buddhist order from this grand game of the ages, this Supreme scheme.

If this could still be tolerated and yielded to…

Then the entire Buddhist order might as well go ally with the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.

"Cough, cough."

"Supreme Tathagata, you can eat carelessly, but you cannot speak carelessly."

"What the Demon Buddha has done, how can you blame it on This Venerable's head?"

"You yourselves abandoned the Demon Buddha, and now you invite the Demon Buddha's backlash."

"It is merely karma coming full circle, retribution exacting its due."

Lin Qi coughed up mouthfuls of blood.

Even with other Supremes striking to protect him, the might of a Supreme truly could not be blasphemed.

Merely being awed by the Supreme Tathagata's avatar's prestige, he actually felt the illusion that he could be reduced to ash at any moment, his body dying and his Dao vanishing.
