Chapter 817: Chapter 22: The Future Buddha

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Within a range of tens of meters of the golden Barrier, the chilling rays emitted a piercing hum.

From afar, one could see the four-armed six-eared and the four-eyed six-eared beings clashing frantically.

Fist met flesh, every move fatal, yet both parties managed to reverse the situation at the most critical moments, dodging the deadliest attacks.

During this process, the blooming white lotus beneath them played a crucial role.

It was the embodiment of [Willing Pass], a credential capable of flying through skies, escaping through the earth, entering and exiting the void.

As long as one stepped on the white lotus, all attacks would be deflected and shifted, and it could even temporarily leap out of the current space and time if necessary.

Aside from its rather high consumption, this [Willing Pass] had almost no shortcomings.

Ironically, both combatants knew their opponent well, knowing each other’s trump card, and would only use [Willing Pass] at the most crucial moments.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After several rounds of confrontation, the four-armed six-eared became increasingly agitated.

In contrast, the four-eyed six-eared remained calm, showing no signs of emotional fluctuation.

The scorched black giant ape struck by lightning contrasted sharply with the golden giant ape shrouded in Buddha Light.

However, witnessing the situation about to continue in a stalemate.

Xu Jia, standing outside the golden Barrier, suddenly felt a sense of unease.

This feeling came so quickly, so suddenly, that Xu Jia barely had any time to ponder before turning abruptly to look behind him.

Whoosh—Boom!

Swift as a beam of light, stars like chilling rays.

Even with Xu Jia’s eyesight, he could barely capture the golden light shadow.

[Shariputra?]

A thought flashed in his mind, and Xu Jia abruptly reached out, attempting to block the Shariputra.

Contrary to Xu Jia’s expectations, the Shariputra passed through his body like an illusion, shooting straight towards the golden Barrier.

Because that Shariputra hadn’t been born yet; it was something from the future.

[Is this the ’Great Momentum’ mentioned by Six Ears?]

Realizing the Shariputra’s target was the Barrier.

Xu Jia briefly returned to his peak state.

The next second, the long-dormant [Golden Body of Sixteen Feet] manifested once more.

Swoosh!

Also crossing the River of Time, Xu Jia, glowing entirely in gold, reached towards the future.

Upon noticing this, the Shariputra buzzed once more, and an ethereal face appeared alongside it.

Yet Xu Jia didn’t even glance at it, catching up with the Shariputra in a seemingly delayed yet first-to-reach manner, then tightly gripping it in his palm.

Crack...

A piercing sound of breaking spread across now and the future, accompanied by a cry of anguish.

The Pathfinder from the future barely had a chance to showcase his power before being nipped in the bud by Xu Jia.

"Shariputra?"

Noticing this scene outside the Barrier, the four-armed six-eared instinctively exclaimed.

Because he recognized the origin of that Shariputra.

It was Shariputra, renowned in the future under Amitabha Buddha as "Wisdom First."

Shariputra is the product after a Bodhisattva or Buddha’s parinirvana.

The appearance of this Shariputra not only proves that Shariputra earned the fruit position of Bodhisattva or Buddha in the future.

It also informs Six Ears of one thing: that Shariputra has died.

As the wisest presence under Amitabha Buddha, as long as Shariputra doesn’t want to die, no one can make him die.

Therefore, the four-armed six-eared immediately understood the meaning of the Shariputra’s appearance.

Buzz!

Almost as if confirming the four-armed six-eared’s guess.

Through the crushed Shariputra, another Buddha yet to descend forcibly appeared in this era.

Unlike the manifesting Mahakasyapa and unlike the forcibly reincarnated Ananda, this descending Buddha appeared with the power of his heyday.

"Mahakasyapa?"

Evidently hearing the four-armed six-eared’s exclamation.

The descending Buddha smiled faintly, then lightly pointed towards the golden Barrier.

Crack!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the golden Barrier thoroughly collapsed this time without any surprises.

As a price for forcibly interfering with the past from the future, Mahakasyapa gracefully chose to exit, making no struggle throughout.

Mahakasyapa, though a successor of Ananda, is claimed as "Understanding First" among Arhats.

There is an anecdote of "A Smile When Holding a Flower" between him and Amitabha Buddha.

From Mahakasyapa’s current demeanor, it can be seen that, coming from a more distant future space-time, he has fully inherited Amitabha Buddha’s robe and bowl, becoming a true Buddha.

"Damn it!"

Watching the Barrier shatter, the four-armed six-eared ready to escape.

Xu Jia could no longer maintain his previous calm, revealing his true nature with a low curse.

"Father, it seems this confrontation ends with me victorious after all."

Completely ignoring the pursuit of the four-eyed six-eared behind, the four-armed six-eared instantly appeared before Xu Jia.

The white lotus beneath him blossomed brilliantly at that moment, pulling the two into an unknown Blessed Cave Heaven.

"Father!"

Pupils violently shook, the four-eyed six-eared roared furiously.

Unfortunately, [Willing Pass] is the culmination of [Divine Traveling], and Shrinking Inches, and a thousand miles apart is its basic ability.

Even though originating from the same source as the four-armed six-eared, the four-eyed six-eared struggled to lock onto his current position in a short time.

Not to mention, with the disappearance of the golden Barrier, the power of the four-eyed six-eared gradually faded. Soon it would vanish completely from this world.

...........................

"Father, is this the first time I’ve seen your Golden Body of Sixteen Feet?"

In a Blessed Cave Heaven filled with birdsong and flowers, the three-zhang-tall four-armed six-eared lowered his head, looking down at Xu Jia, who was half his height, and said with a smile.

"I never expected I could see this form on your deathbed."

Not choosing to distance himself, Xu Jia merely looked up at the four-armed six-eared, eyes full of reminiscence and reluctance.

"Six Ears, this world is far more complicated than you imagine, and the things you don’t know are far more than you think."

Knowing his end was near, Xu Jia, like all old fathers, tirelessly counseled.

"You want to kill me, I don’t hate you."

"Because I know you have struggled, and even now, you continue to struggle..."

"I just want to tell you, today you can abandon personal emotions for the welfare of all beings, and you will abandon more in the future."

"Have you really prepared mentally to thoroughly walk down that road of no return?"

Slowly shaking his head, the four-armed six-eared didn’t answer Xu Jia’s question, instead grinning sinisterly.

"Father, now nobody can interrupt us."

"Next, let me wholeheartedly send you on your last journey!"
