The battlefield was silent as Gu Chen stood tall, his long hair disheveled and reaching down to his waist, his body lithe as a savage dragon, translucent and glistening with a pale golden hue. He harbored vast and terrifying spiritual energy, imposing like a mountain, an overwhelming presence indeed.

In the distance, the powerful Ananda lay on the ground, spasms wracking his body, fresh blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His once-red kasaya was now tattered and bloodstained, with bleeding wounds all over his body.

Both the people of Da Xia and those of the Great Yuan were shocked, the so-called "Buddha's son" from the Dragon Elephant Monastery of the Great Snow Mountain, an incarnation of a living Buddha, had been defeated. He was not a match for Gu Chen and was grievously injured.
