Tathagata launched several fierce attacks but was unable to step into Sha Chen's cave dwelling.
If Sha Chen didn't resist or set up spatial defense barriers, Tathagata was confident he could enter directly.
A year ago, he could have entered.
However, he had refrained to show off, listen from outside as Sha Chen expounded on the Dao, and probe Sha Chen's true capabilities, which was why he hadn't entered.
He thought he could enter at any time, only to find that Sha Chen had suddenly set up spatial barriers.
For a moment, Tathagata was somewhat bewildered.
As he forced his way in, he encountered Sha Chen's desperate resistance.
Despite Tathagata's impressive power, Sha Chen was not to be underestimated. He was also a Middle-level Quasi-saint, and his physical body had even reached the Small Achievement Realm of the Primeval Chaos Law Body.
He was only one step away from Great Accomplishment.
