The cultivation of the Seven Patterns Supreme should not be within reach of a Sect Hierarch of a First Rank sect in an Intermediate World. A Seven Patterns Supreme, whether in a High Level World or a Divine Kingdom, is indeed a formidable force to be reckoned with. When Wukong witnessed the explosion of cultivation Tathagata demonstrated in that instant, he suddenly thought that this Tathagata must be the same as Master Tongtian of the past. He must have been saved by someone and then elevated to a level of power he was not supposed to attain by some unknown method. Actually, compared to Master Tongtian and Old Sand, Tathagata was somewhat better off, having been raised only to the level of a Seven Patterns Supreme. Master Tongtian and Old Sand had both been Nine Patterns Supremes.
"Sun Wukong, I was able to suppress you under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years with a single slap back then, and I can still do it now. Except this time, it won't just be for five hundred years—I will suppress you forever. Only then can I rid myself of the hatred that burns within my heart!" At this moment, Tathagata's ghastly demonic appearance, combined with his sinister tone and expression, would cause anyone to treat him as a heretical demon. And indeed, the Tathagata at this moment was undeniably a devil incarnate. However, looking at Tathagata's hideously twisted face, Wukong's heart remained largely undisturbed. He even felt a bit disappointed.
Before Wukong could say anything, Tathagata spoke again, "After I left that world that was akin to the bottom of a well, you have no idea what I have experienced, nor do you know what I have witnessed. Thus, you are even more unaware of the extent to which my cultivation has reached. My current power is something you cannot possibly imagine; if I wished to kill you, I could do so with the utmost ease!" Although Tathagata's voice was chilling, it was filled with pride and confidence.
After being rescued by that great being, Tathagata indeed encountered much. He learned that the Pangu Realm was just a minor world and above it lay Intermediate Worlds, High Level Worlds, and even Divine Kingdoms. The cultivation levels of the beings from those worlds were astoundingly powerful. Back then, Tathagata truly felt like a frog in a well. In particular, the strength of that great being was incomprehensible and beyond imagination. To that being, everything happening now was simply a game.

Tathagata knew his own limitations clearly. Even though his cultivation had been enhanced by the great being, he was still as different from that being as a firefly is from the bright moon. He was just a pawn used by the great being, and the Fang Universe was nothing more than a chess game the being was playing. That is why Tathagata felt he had immense luck to be a chess piece in that game. As long as the game was not over, he, as a pawn, would have value in existing. In other words, as long as everything was not concluded, he would have the value of life. The Eternal Chains given to him by the great being were the best proof of this.
Even now, although he had been careless enough to be tricked by Sun Wukong into this strange place, Tathagata had absolute confidence that he would be the last man standing. The game was far from over, and he would not die at this juncture. Observing Tathagata's arrogant demeanor, Wukong found himself amused. In the past, Tathagata truly was a figure standing at the pinnacle, and as the Buddha of the Buddhist Sect, Tathagata held a prestigious position.
Therefore, he could play with many lives in the palm of his hand. But now, Tathagata did not seem to realize that the situation had undergone a drastic change. Although, this lack of awareness was not hard to understand since Wukong's apparent cultivation was only at the Dao Transformation level. With Tathagata's cultivation, killing Wukong would be as easy as crushing an ant. If the roles were reversed now, Wukong reckoned he would probably feel the same way as Tathagata. No, the actual situation was indeed the same; Wukong felt a sense of superiority over Tathagata.
This was an interesting phenomenon. Tathagata believed that Wukong's cultivation was not on the same level as his own, thinking it would be no trouble at all to kill Wukong. Yet, Wukong was completely unaware of the gap between them and was still preparing to resist defiantly. However, from Wukong's perspective, even though Tathagata was a Seven Patterns Supreme, he knew countless ways to kill him effortlessly. But Tathagata was oblivious to this disparity and retained an air of extreme pride before him.
Seeing Wukong laugh, Tathagata couldn't help but laugh as well. "Sun Wukong, after so many years, I really don't know if I should say you've progressed or regressed. Can't your fiery golden eyes discern the vast difference between us? You can still laugh?" Wukong was taken aback, not expecting Tathagata to speak to him in that tone and manner. Could Tathagata be planning to humiliate him? It wouldn't be surprising, considering how Wukong had killed him, a grudge Tathagata must have held, although the one killed was likely a decoy.
"I have lost my fiery golden eyes, but I can still see the huge gap in our powers. The difference is so great that resistance is futile. As to why I laugh, I believe it's time for our grievances to be settled today, a real and definitive resolution, with no dragging and no ambiguity!" A chilling smile crept onto Tathagata's face as he said, "You're right; it seems you're not entirely useless. Although in the beginning, none of this was my intention, it is too late for words now. Sun Wukong, I will not kill you this time either, but I will crush you under the Five Elements Mountain once more. Oh, and let me tell you something, do you know about your master Golden Cicada? Haha, he appeared just because of you. This time, he's finally going to serve his greatest purpose! Sun Wukong, you claim the title of Great Sage Equalling Heaven, but in truth, you know nothing at all. Equalling Heaven? You don't even know what heaven is, so how can you claim to be its equal?"
