"Cao Ya doesn't rely on heaven or earth, he only relies on himself!"
"Cao Ya doesn't have any cheats!"
Facing the countless gods and buddhas, Cao Ya spoke withou...
“No!” Venerable Duobao shook his head and said, “As far as I know, the indestructible Arhat relies entirely on his own cultivation. He has neither the karma of a great person nor is he a pawn of anyone, such as a ‘beacon of the Way,’ a ‘fish,’ or a ‘self.’”
At this point, Venerable Duobao smiled and said, "Furthermore, the Undying Arhat, like that Mr. Lu, did not become a legend by enlightening the 'other selves' of all realms."
A hint of surprise crossed Yunxiao's beautiful face as she asked, "Could it be that you have sublimated your 'true self' and severed your connection with the 'other selves' of the heavens?"
“That’s right,” said Duobao Tianzun, nodding. Such a legendary path is extremely rare.
The vast majority of legendary powerful figures did not take this path.
Legend has it that it can reflect all realms, and with the birth of each realm, an "other self" will emerge, which can be replaced at any time if desired.
The orthodox path, whether in the real world or the heavens, is that whoever becomes a legend first can control all "other selves" and transform into countless worlds.
But by elevating the "true self" and severing connections, these "other selves" will no longer exist.
In terms of survival ability, they are generally less capable. Therefore, very few people choose the latter path.
“It seems that Xuan Jie has different pursuits, wanting to maintain his own uniqueness and not mix with ‘others’,” Bi Xiao murmured, her pretty face thoughtful.
"Look! The Samsara Seal, and... the Six Paths of Reincarnation?" Qiongxiao suddenly widened her eyes.
Duobao Tianzun, Yunxiao, and Bixiao were all astonished.
The Samsara Seal above Cao Ya's head and the six black holes around him both embody the principles of reincarnation, illuminating the universe and shaking the mortal world!
"His destiny is almost certain—unless someone intervenes!" praised the Venerable Duobao.
"Are we really not going to make a move?" Qiongxiao asked again, seemingly eager to try.
Yunxiao frowned slightly and warned, "We have no conflict with the Crimson Demon Sect, so don't act rashly! In fact, we don't need to get involved in the overall situation of the Real World."
Bixiao agreed and said seriously, "Let the conflicts between the human race, the demon race, the Luo sect, the Maitreya Buddhism, the Nine Netherworld Demon Path, the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and other forces be left to their own devices, let them fight to the death."
"Our Jie Sect has so few people left. Why should we join the war and increase the casualties?"
As soon as he finished speaking, they all sighed, their voices filled with sadness.
The Jie Sect has lost far too many immortals and gods!
This island of Sanxiao, located overseas, is the lineage of the Three Immortal Maidens.
After the Investiture of the Gods, the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao were included in the Investiture of the Gods. Although they managed to escape by taking advantage of the "collapse of the Heavenly Court", they still faced many problems. After leaving behind their family's legacy, they passed away one after another in less than a thousand years.
Only recently, through the arrangements of the Eternal Mother, did it rely on the Chaos Green Lotus Seed to return from its tribulation and barely regain its former glory. It no longer possesses the power to defeat the immortals of Jade Void Palace!
He's about the same level as Jade Cauldron Immortal, Red Essence, Daoist Immortal Venerable, and Nezha.
He is even inferior to Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, let alone Guangchengzi.
Only the Heavenly Venerable of Many Treasures, whose creation is perfect, is no less powerful than Guang Chengzi and is also among the Nine Venerables of Taoism, whose name resounds throughout the ages!
As for the other immortals of the Jie Sect... it should be known that even the victorious Jade Void Palace suffered the fall of immortals such as Yun Zhongzi and Taiyi Zhenren, so the situation of Biyou Palace could not possibly be any better!
With only a handful of immortals and gods remaining, it was impossible for Jade Void Palace and Biyou Palace to start another war.
Biyou Palace was determined to stay out of the war between humans and demons, and the conflicts between various major powers such as Luo Sect, Maitreya Buddhism, and the Nine Nether Demonic Path.
At most, they might seek opportunities or explore the whereabouts of Lingbao Tianzun when certain ancient relics are discovered!
Under this mindset, it doesn't matter what the relationship is between Xuan Jie and Emperor Yuan.
Even if it were the Yuan Emperor, they would not target him; they would keep a low profile and remain mere bystanders.
Therefore, Qiongxiao's attitude drew unanimous admonitions from Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Duobao Tianzun.
"Yes, it has begun. Some powerful beings are going to intercept Xuan Jie!" said Duobao Tianzun.
The Three Immortal Maidens also looked up and saw that beyond the Nine Heavens, with a loud boom, in an instant, demonic energy filled the air, and several figures that blotted out the sky reflected in the real world!
"A Great Sage of the Creation Realm of the Demon Race!" The Three Immortal Maidens' expressions hardened.
Not only was there a great sage of the demon race, but also a Buddha with a fat head and big ears, his face beaming with smiles, radiating Buddhist light.
Furthermore, several divine messengers of the Luo Sect, chanting the sect's doctrines and slogans, joined forces in action.
The first two were both creations of destiny. The last Luo Sect Divine Envoy, though only a legend, carried a divine weapon bestowed by the Eternal Mother, and his power was equally terrifying!
"Xuan Jie is in danger." Duobao Tianzun sighed. Even he wasn't confident he could break through such a formation!
Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha, and he is also a perfect being. He alone is no less than Maitreya Buddha, not to mention that the great saints of the demon race are all incredibly powerful beings!
"I think Xuanjie can escape danger." Yunxiao smiled slightly. Such a hero would not put himself in danger; he must have planned carefully before acting.
"However, the Luo Cult's divine messenger has the Eternal Mother's backup plan and the schemes of the Other Shore..."
Yunxiao glanced around again, his expression grave.
The resurrection of the Three Immortal Maidens is not unrelated to the arrangements made by the Eternal Mother.
At first, they did not know what the Eternal Mother's intention was!
It wasn't until Duobao Tianzun came and recounted some legend that he gained some understanding.
The Eternal Mother, also known as the "Golden Emperor" of the ancient Heavenly Court, attained the other shore. It seems that this was related to the legacy of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao. She saved the Three Immortals in order to repay the karmic debt.
This situation inevitably made them wonder, where exactly is their master?!
"My own abilities are sufficient for good fortune, but whether I can overcome the external calamities depends on the trump card of the Xuanjie," Bixiao said slowly, her beautiful eyes gazing into the distance, paying attention to the movements beyond the heavens.
"Rumble..." After the appearance of the Great Sages of the Demon Clan in the Creation Realm, such as the Bull Demon King, the Roc Demon King, the Flood Dragon Demon King, and the Great Sage of Meishan "Yuan Hong", Maitreya Buddha, as well as the Divine Envoys of the Luo Sect, the Divine Envoy of the Lamp, the Divine Envoy of the Treasure Bottle, and the Divine Envoy of the Curtain, also appeared at almost the same time.
This vast group of legends and creations, with their terrifying power, stirs up the universe!
At this moment, the real world seemed to tremble as well, with all paths groaning in despair, unable to withstand the pressure of the assembled heroes!
Countless living beings trembled in fear.
That kind of throbbing that comes from the depths of the soul terrifies all living beings!
"Can the incorruptible Arhat overcome this difficulty? He is a man who does not do things without certainty."
While guarding his deceased wife's grave, Mr. Lu suddenly looked up at the sky, flicked his hand, and a long sword fell into his hand. A sharp sword intent flowed around him, capable of cleaving through the heavens.
The unconventional path of legend, how to ascend to the "true self," was something I studied diligently with Xuan Jie, and we had a good relationship.
Mr. Lu agrees with the Red Demon Sect's philosophy, unlike other aristocratic families and sects who are more wary of it.
Furthermore, the obstruction by those powerful figures is not only out of hostility towards the Crimson Demon Sect, but also to weaken the power of the human race!
How could Master Lu possibly sit idly by and watch Xuan Jie suffer?
However, he also understood Xuan Jie; he always acted with a plan. Perhaps the appearance of such a powerful being was within his expectations?
Master Lu is a legend, unparalleled in killing, watching over the outer realms, and if there is any discord, he will draw his sword and fight!
Like him, there was another legendary figure, Su Wuming, with indifferent eyes and a hidden sword aura.
"Fortune!" Han Guang's expression was somber, filled with a sense of urgency. Years ago, he impersonated the abbot of Shaolin Temple and had already reached the Dharma Body stage, far surpassing Xuan Jie. Who could have imagined that he would now be left far behind by Xuan Jie!
Most importantly, with the resurgence of ancient powers, even this "demon master" who once stirred up the world, now appears weak, despite being a celestial being.
This was intolerable to the extremely proud Han Guang!
However, the legendary realm is not so easy to cross, and Han Guang's accumulation of knowledge is still lacking.
Han Guang shared a similar sentiment with his sworn brother, Gao Lan, the mad emperor of Northern Zhou.
Gao Lan, having received the Emperor's Sword as his master, was already a Celestial Immortal and was originally the Emperor of Northern Zhou.
His goal is to unify the Central Plains and then unify the Real World.
In this way, not only will the human race prosper, but he will also gain the fortune of humanity. He may not reach the other shore, but he has a great chance of good fortune.
However, the existence of the Crimson Demon Sect seriously threatened the Northern Zhou's plans, and the Undying Arhat completely overwhelmed the Mad Emperor of Northern Zhou in terms of strength!
Even the Emperor's Sword is matched by the Reincarnation Seal.
If this is merely a division and struggle within the human race, then the demon race, the Luo Cult, and others represent external crises.
Even with the Emperor's Sword in hand, Gao Lan would still be powerless to deal with a powerful cultivator at the Creation Realm.
"I must prove the legend as soon as possible!" Gao Lan muttered to himself.
Besides the challenges from within and without, Gao Lan also wanted to fully awaken the Human Emperor Sword, granting it the power of the Other Shore, which could reverse time and bring his deceased wife back to life!
"Such progress is beyond comprehension!" The two legends of the Human Emperor's descendants were also amazed.
During the Middle Ages, guided by Gao Lanzhi, who traveled back in time thanks to the aftershocks of a powerful being, they lived in seclusion and avoided the calamity of the Demon Buddha's destruction.
Besides gratitude, he also followed Gao Lan because the Emperor's Sword recognized him as its master.
This is also why the Northern Zhou Dynasty was able to maintain order! In an era of dramatic change, there was a powerful figure in charge!
The Northern Zhou Dynasty was indeed an enemy of the Crimson Demonic Sect.
However, this does not mean that they will disregard right and wrong, nor will they deny the power of the Arhats, which is universally acknowledged!
In the history of the human race, the Human Emperor, as the being of the other shore, was naturally the strongest. Below him were the Holy Emperor Qi, the Demon Lord, and the Great Emperor of Hatred.
At present, it seems that Xuanjie may not be able to catch up with the Human Emperor, but reaching the perfection of creation should not be a big problem.
Even if these two descendants of the Human Emperor were to attack together, they would be no match for Xuan Jie!
Southern Wilderness, the territory of the Crimson Demon Sect.
Qi Zhengyan's expression was grave as he stroked the Demon Emperor's Claw, ready to unleash a powerful attack at any moment!
Relying on unparalleled divine weapons, regardless of the losses, they can always help the incorruptible Arhat!
As for the corruption of the Demon Emperor's Claw... Qi Zhengyan pondered that as long as he stopped in time, even if there were hidden dangers, they could be gradually eliminated in the days to come.
However, when Cao Ya transmitted his voice, Qi Zhengyan was taken aback and quite surprised.
"Isn't it... too risky to build an incorruptible Arhat?" Qi Zhengyan couldn't help but ask.
"It's alright. Although there are many of these opportunities, I can handle them." Cao Ya's calm tone was filled with great confidence.
Qi Zhengyan was extremely surprised; those were several Creation Realm experts and several legendary powerhouses!
Is the certainty of becoming an indestructible Arhat really that great, and is the faith that intense as well?!
Beyond the heavens, Cao Ya stepped into the Sea of Bitterness, condensing the illusory Great Dao of Reincarnation, almost breaking through to the Creation Realm.
At this point, the hostile heroes could no longer sit still and rushed out to finish off Cao Ya and eliminate the threat before he could truly attain enlightenment!
Shi Cai believed that Xuan Jie might fail and there was no need to rush into action.
But given the current situation, we can no longer afford to wait and see; we must take action!
"Just the few of you?" Cao Ya looked around, his expression calm, and spoke indifferently.
The Bull Demon King chuckled and said, "I didn't realize you were such a small bald monk, but you have such a big mouth."
At this moment, the figure of the Bull Demon King was incredibly huge, and he stepped out of the real world, standing in the outer starry sky, supporting the heavens and the earth. His bull horns were as thick as stars!
Furthermore, in the eyes of the Bull Demon King, black and white colors flickered, like yin and yang fish intertwined head to tail, with hexagrams flowing around him, constantly disassembling and recombining.
Despite his rough and reckless appearance, the Bull Demon King's abilities are not to be underestimated, as he has achieved the pinnacle of creation!
Although he had been trapped for many millennia and his power had declined, no longer at the peak of his creation, he still possessed divine abilities at the initial and intermediate levels of creation. With his original vision and techniques, he often had the upper hand against beings of the same level.
"Why waste words with him? Just kill him! Otherwise, things might get complicated!" Peng Demon King said coldly.
This great demon saint also revealed his true form, his wings spreading out to cover the starry sky!
"Roar~~~" Beside it, a divine dragon roared across the universe. Its scales were huge, each one almost comparable to a vast area in the real world. Its eyes were wide open, like the blazing sun!
The power of the Jiao Demon King was in no way inferior to that of the Bull Demon King or the Peng Demon King.
In comparison, in terms of fundamental cultivation, the Great Sage of Meishan is indeed one or two levels behind.
The problem is that these ancient sages, having escaped their predicament not long ago, have not yet recovered to their peak condition.
The Great Sage of Meishan was a legend in ancient times, who later attained enlightenment. Although his realm was slightly inferior, the completeness of his state far surpassed that of the others.
With one decreasing and the other increasing, their combat strength is actually quite similar.
Of course, as time goes by, the Bull Demon King and his companions will gradually recover and be able to demonstrate the perfection of creation, or at the very least, the peak of creation!
The Great Sage of Meishan's cultivation progress was by no means as rapid as this!
However, having survived the great calamities of past dynasties and attained great fortune, their status is now equal.
“What started as a mere minor Dharma body has grown into something quite impressive over the years,” said the Great Sage of Meishan coldly.
When the overseas immortal island emerged and summoned the true Dharma bodies, he was already a great saint of the demon race in the Creation Realm. At that time, Xuan Jie was a celestial immortal.
But who could have imagined that the appearance of the fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell, the sudden intrusion from all sides, the disruption of the Great Sage of Meishan's plan, and the fact that many contemporary Dharma bodies were sent back to the Middle Ages by flowing backwards in time.
Every time he thinks about it, the Great Sage of Meishan regrets it. He knows that the real world is no small matter. With the plans of ancient giants, he should have been more careful. Why did he act so ostentatiously?
"Xuan Jie, what's your backup plan? Is it the Reincarnation Seal, the Primordial Emperor, or... the Overlord's Blade or the Demon Emperor's Claw?"
The Demon King of the Flood Dragon had a faint smile on his lips. Xuan Jie's trump card was easy to guess, and he was already on guard.
The Demon Saint Spear of the Demon Clan and the Heavenly Punishment Axe of the Luo Sect are both peerless divine weapons!
Although there is one less item in number, can Qi Zhengyan, the "Crimson Demon Emperor," truly wield the Demon Emperor's Claw with ease?
Furthermore, the "Yuanhuang" and the Overlord's Absolute Blade are thorns in the side of the Demon Buddha!
Given the opportunity, the Demon Buddha will never sit idly by!
Furthermore, the Demon Emperor's Claw was originally the Demon Lord's divine weapon. How could someone with perfected creation not be hostile to the Crimson Demon Sect?
As everyone knows, the Reincarnation Seal was snatched from the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation by Xuan Jie, who ultimately gained the Lord's recognition of him as his master, but that's another story.
With so many allies, their strength is unfathomable!
Even though they were constantly at odds with each other, they would not stand by and watch Xuanjie achieve his great destiny. No matter how much conflict they had, they would still join forces to kill the Undying Arhat first!
