Chapter 1506 — He Who Calls Himself the Tathagata

Drawing on the stars and constellations that Granny Zhu's geomagnetic divine light had become, the Blind Elder laid down array after array, trapping the Lame Elder in circles.

His mastery of arrays was the first in Jingping; even Yan Yunxi, the foremost array master of the Kaihuang era, held him in high admiration. The Lame Elder was furious.

Granny Zhu set her teeth, drew the divine bow, and was about to shoot Shen Mu's primordial spirit dead with a single arrow, when at that very moment, beyond the Great Black Mountain, Buddhist light blazed forth and Sanskrit chant rang out loudly.

Granny Zhu turned to look, and amid layer upon layer of Buddhist light a middle-aged great Buddha came striding forward. "Lord Huo. .
