“He’s gone even crazier!” Xuanming Ghost Emperor shook his head, glancing at Jiuluan Tianzun with pity.

As a being born from the Nine Netherworlds, he was the first ghost of this era. He had an extraordinary background and was born powerful. Although he was later surpassed by the Heavenly Killer Daoist and the Demon Lord, he eventually reached the realm of perfect creation over the long years. Deep within the Nine Netherworlds, he was a powerful pseudo-other shore!

Now, the Demon Lord has long since perished, having been killed one-on-one by the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times!

Later, due to being restrained by the Phoenix True Fire, Tian Sha Dao Ren also lost to the Demon Saint, which led to the era after the destruction of the ancient Heavenly Court becoming "Demons wreaking havoc on the earth," helping the Demon Saint to attain enlightenment, rather than "Demons descending upon the world," unable to obtain fortune to help Tian Sha Dao Ren achieve the other shore.

After that, the Heavenly Killer Daoist soon passed away, leaving only the Nether Sea Sword in the world, which also fell into the hands of the Seven Killer Daoist.

With the passing of these two Netherworld Demon Kings, the Xuanming Ghost Emperor and the Black Heaven Emperor made further progress and were able to take their places in the first batch of leaders here. The Blood Demon also made rapid progress by refining the remains of the Heavenly Killing Daoist.

However, the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable, as an evil god born in the Middle Ages, symbolizes "destruction," and is completely different from the three powerful ones!

There was no large-scale, top-level war, and the calamity had not yet arisen, so the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable could still maintain a certain degree of rationality—although he was quite crazy, at least he wouldn't be foolish enough to break out of the Nine Netherworlds!

But in the current scene, the aura of calamity is intense, and the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable has become frenzied and increasingly evil. His eyes flash with dark light, and he roars repeatedly, his demonic voice echoing throughout the vast Nine Netherworld!

Even the Nine Netherworlds seemed to come alive, with the heavens and earth constantly undulating, echoing the roar of the Nine Chaotic Heavenly Venerable!

Instantly, all kinds of evil spirits, even the legendary demons, trembled in fear!

The Nine Chaos Celestial Venerable is the embodiment of perfect creation, residing in the Nine Netherworlds, and is also a pseudo-Other Shore!

They can easily defeat other beings, let alone cultivators below the legendary level!

Tiny as an ant!

There is no concept of "harmony" in the demonic path; infighting is commonplace.

Any legendary demon at the Creation Realm, in the process of rising to power, has not only killed countless evil gods, evil spirits, and great demons, but has also devoured countless others!

Therefore, they were also very afraid, worried that the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable would go mad and devour the demons!

The Nine Netherworld may have some restrictions, prohibiting the extinction of ghosts, evil gods, and demons.

Would the crazed Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable care about these things?

"This is the destiny of the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable!" the Blood Demon said softly.

“If he goes out and gets killed, the Nine Netherworld Pseudo-Other Shore will be missing one. As the Other Shore seekers return one after another, our situation will likely become even worse!” the Black Emperor pondered.

“That makes sense!” Xuanming Ghost Emperor’s brows furrowed slightly. Without Jiuyou, the danger of his demise immediately increased!

Blood Demon glanced at Black Emperor and said indifferently, "The three of us joining forces should have no problem suppressing the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable."

The Black Emperor smiled and said, "Once the great battle outside ends and the calamity dissipates, the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable will no longer be so insane."

Xuanming Ghost Emperor frowned and said, "But this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause! The final calamity is getting closer and closer. One day, the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable will be completely brainwashed by the calamity energy, losing all reason and turning into a mad and powerful beast!"

The Black Emperor calmly said, "Until then, isn't it enough that you can provide us with assistance?"

The Xuanming Ghost Emperor stroked his chin and burst into loud laughter, saying, "Just what I wanted! The Nine Netherworlds of the new era also have the opportunity to reach the other shore, so there's no need for so many pseudo-other shores or perfect creations!"

Before he finished speaking, the Xuanming Ghost Emperor looked at the Black Heaven Emperor and the Blood Demon, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

When dealing with powerful figures from the outside world, they are allies, but when the opportunity to cross the Nine Netherworld appears, they immediately become formidable enemies!

The Primordial Demon Emperor and the Ancient Demon Lord were defeated one after another, losing to the Dao Venerable and the Heavenly Emperor.

But this does not affect their desire to reach the other side and become chess players on the grand chessboard of the universe!

"Roar!!!" Suddenly, the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable could no longer control himself. With a roar, he was about to fly out of the Nine Netherworld!

"Make your move!" the Blood Demon coldly shouted, raising his hand to unleash a boundless sea of ​​blood that swept across the heavens and earth.

"Boom!!" The Black Heaven Emperor and the Xuanming Ghost Emperor also attacked simultaneously, their ghostly light surging and yellow light spreading, carrying the meaning of misunderstanding and corruption. Together with the Blood Demon, they suppressed the Nine Chaotic Heavenly Venerable!

"Bang!!" No matter how the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable charged, he could not fight against the three of them alone and break free from the suppression of the three pseudo-Other Shores.

They had no intention of killing the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable, after all, this evil god's origins were too unique.

If the "symbol of destruction" of the impending apocalypse—the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable—were killed by them and perished between heaven and earth...

Either the Nine Netherworlds will give birth to a new "symbol of destruction"; or this power of "destruction" will be transferred on the spot to the "demon of world destruction" and the demon Buddha!

That will be the real problem!

The Demon Buddha's escape is about to occur, and with many beings from the other shore yet to return, he will begin to destroy the world and end all realms!

The final calamity has truly arrived. The universe will perish, and all realms, whether the heavens and myriad worlds, the real world, or the Nine Netherworlds and the Nine Heavens, will be destroyed!

In the chaos, beneath the other shore, it is difficult to survive for long!

Without Yuanshi Tianzun, the "cause of all effects" and "symbol of the creation of heaven," who will usher in a new era?

At that time, those who have not returned to the other side will not receive any stimulation and will not be able to perceive the changes in the real world. They will probably all be permanently slumbering in chaos, unable to awaken, or even be found and killed one by one by the Demon Buddha.

All the creatures of creation, legend, and all the spirits beneath them perished, none surviving!

Blood Demon, Xuanming Ghost Emperor, and others were no exception; they only faced certain death!

Given these concerns, they would not kill the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable. They would simply imprison him for a period of time and wait for the divine war outside to end before releasing him.

"Um?"

The battle in the Nine Netherworlds clearly attracted a lot of attention, after all, it involved four pseudo-Other Shore beings!

In the world today, they are arguably among the strongest beings with great supernatural powers—even though they are confined to the Nine Netherworlds!

The gazes of so many powerful figures further intimidated the Nine Netherworld Demons, filling them with fear!

"So that's what happened!"

Having witnessed the scene within the Nine Netherworlds, the heroes understood the scheme of the Blood Demon, the Black Heaven Emperor, and the Xuanming Ghost Emperor.

Once the Nine Chaos Celestial Venerable was imprisoned, the heroes shifted their attention and stopped paying attention.

The Nine Netherworld has a unique environment, so those evil spirits don't leave easily, and they can't force their way in either.

Both sides maintained a state of mutual non-interference.

At this time, the battlefield outside the region was clearly more eye-catching!

Even the demons of the Nine Netherworlds, after the matter of the Nine Chaotic Heavenly Venerable was concluded, all looked up and gazed into the distance beyond the heavens!

"Two more people... no, four more!" Cao Ya's brows furrowed slightly.

In the distance, Zhen Yuanzi appeared, wielding a giant axe. His expression was indifferent, but everyone knew how powerful he was!

In the void, a red gourd leaped out, containing a sharp killing intent capable of slaying immortals and Buddhas!

In addition, two ancient Buddhas appeared at the same time!

"Zhen Yuanzi, the 'Acting Divine Envoy' and the head of the Twelve Divine Envoys of the Luo Sect! And Lu Ya Daojun!"

Cao Ya glanced at Zhen Yuanzi and the vermilion gourd. Although he didn't say anything cold, their mere presence showed that they were determined to protect the powerful figures.

“Dipankara Buddha! Buddha of the Worldly Freedom!” When Cao Ya’s gaze fell on the last two Buddhas, his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Dipankara Buddha, once a disciple of the Jade Void Sect, was also known as the Crystal Immortal Lamp of Mount Lingjiu, which was once renowned throughout the world!

However, because he relied on the illusory path of creation to attain enlightenment, he needed the integration of "the causes of all fruits" to achieve perfection and reach the other shore. Unfortunately, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable clearly stated that "the causes of all fruits" were not related to Dipankara!

Since then, Dipankara Buddha has entered the Buddhist order, which has led to conflicts with the immortals of Jade Void.

However, within Buddhism, Dipankara Buddha holds a very high and revered position, ranking among the top.

The Buddhas of the other shore, such as Amitabha Buddha and Bodhi Buddha, cannot compare to them. However, other Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas, such as Maitreya Buddha and Bhaisajyaguru Buddha, are at most similar to Dipankara Buddha.

However, the other shore that he longed for most remained unattainable.

This intervention was not to rescue the Great Sage of the Demon Clan or the Divine Envoy of the Luo Sect, but purely to aid Maitreya Buddha, unwilling to let this future Buddha perish and diminish the fortune of Buddhism, thus hindering the competition among the Buddhist heroes on the Great Dao during the final tribulation.

Although there were other plans, in the end, he still had to show up in person to intimidate Cao Ya.

And if Dipankara Buddha is like this, then the Buddha of Worldly Freedom, needless to say, is basically the same.

In fact, compared to Dipankara Buddha, Cao Ya was more wary of the Worldly Free King Buddha!

After all, this King Buddha is not only a perfect being, but also Amitabha Buddha's guide to enlightenment!

This person attained enlightenment at least three epochs ago, and was even before Amitabha Buddha, Bodhi Buddha, and the Buddha of Vulture Peak!

Although those on the other shore have overturned cause and effect and can manipulate the river of time to trace the past and occupy the future, it is now difficult to say who the founder of Buddhism really was!

But given his status and position, his accumulated knowledge and experience were not merely for show.

Even though the Buddha of the Worldly Freedom has many concerns and worries because he has not yet reached the other shore, and is unwilling to cause trouble, once he erupts, he is still not easy to deal with.

Of those destined for greatness, eight or nine out of ten are no match for him!

Even those few who have achieved perfect fortune, considering his qualifications as an Amitabha Buddha mentor, dare not act recklessly—besides, even if they were to actually fight, they have no confidence in winning!

If these two Buddhas are already so troublesome, then Zhen Yuanzi, who is "one with the world" and "the ancestor of earth immortals," will be no less formidable!

The same goes for Daoist Lu Ya. With his Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife and the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, what a formidable reputation he was in the past.

These four individuals, despite the damage caused by slumber and sealing over countless millennia, have still retained the strength of top-tier Creation Realm cultivators and should not be underestimated!

When they join forces, it's even more unsettling!

Even if Guang Chengzi, Duobao Tianzun, and others in the real world put aside their old grudges and formed an alliance, they would not have the slightest confidence in stopping all the powerful forces!

Unless... the Primordial Celestial Venerable and the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable appear!

But in that case, Amitabha Buddha and Bodhi Buddha are not mere decorations; they cannot sit idly by and watch Buddhism decline. It will evolve into a struggle on the other shore, becoming increasingly dangerous, and all those with great supernatural powers will be nothing more than ants.

In reality, the power of Maitreya Buddha and the Bull Demon King alone exhausted Cao Ya's divine strength. He needed to use the True Phoenix Treasure Technique, the Niwan Palace World, and numerous divine laws to gradually wear them down and slowly gain the upper hand.

At this moment, the addition of another Creation Realm expert, even if they are only at the initial stage of Creation, will disrupt the balance!

In contrast, Cao Ya had no worries about the commotion in the Nine Netherworld.

He knew perfectly well the true identities of the Black Emperor and the Blood Demon! Neither of them could be brought into the light!

Therefore, at this moment, Cao Ya's expression was extremely solemn, showing no sign of ease!

These four individuals all possessed perfected cultivation levels and each wielded formidable magical treasures, making them extremely powerful!

He is no weaker than Maitreya Buddha at his peak!

Even the Bull Demon King and others pale in comparison.

"Boom!" Suddenly, another loud noise echoed as Meng Qi left Kunlun Mountain, carrying the Overlord Blade, surrounded by lightning, and with sharp blade energy, he appeared in this starry river.

"Uncle-Master Xuanjie, am I not late?" Meng Qi asked with a seemingly harmless smile.

"Um?"

Zhen Yuanzi, Lu Ya Daojun, Randeng Ancient Buddha, and Shijian Zizai Wang Buddha all turned to look.

Although their expressions differed, they all inevitably carried a sense of envy.

Many people want to receive the cause and effect of those who "seek emptiness through reduction" on the other shore, but none of them have the luck to do so!

In the distant ancient times, when the Daoist master pioneered the path of "reducing and seeking emptiness," he attempted it twice, once with Huang Laojun and once with Donghuang Taiyi. Both were on the other shore, especially Donghuang, who was even more ancient!

As we all know, once you reach the other shore, you are different from everyone else, transcending the mundane world, and thus becoming a chess player!

Don't be fooled by their impressive titles, such as Buddha or Daoist Lord. If you look closely, if the One on the other shore gets angry and there is no other One on the other shore to resist... erasing all traces of their existence would be a piece of cake!

They were unaware of how many beings had perished in the battles between those on the other side of the river of death, disappearing from timelines one after another! They themselves had experienced it more than just a few times!

"Whoosh." Just then, a sinister claw, emanating demonic energy, also pierced through the air and arrived.

Qi Zhengyan, whose face was slightly pale and who was tightly gripping the Demon Emperor's claws, was suppressing them with the philosophy of "As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement." At the same time, he appeared and smiled slightly at the powerful figures. His manners were impeccable, which was quite unlike the arrogant demeanor of the rumored "Crimson Demon Emperor."

Not only that, but with a pop, to everyone's surprise, a shimmering longsword also appeared faintly in the depths of the void.

"Buzz..." The Great Dao of Time flowed, filling the heavens and earth, causing the eyes of all the powerful figures to twitch.

Who doesn't know that the Heavenly Emperor is hidden within the Blade of Time?

This is a genuine Other Shore! It cannot be compared to any peerless divine weapon!

Seeing this, Cao Ya smiled to himself. It seemed that no matter how much he prepared, he still needed external help!

It wasn't that he was against it, but he originally thought that with his family's overall combat strength and the help of the Reincarnation Seal, he would be able to face any calamity without fear.

Indeed, Maitreya Buddha, Bull Demon King, Roc Demon King, Flood Dragon Demon King, Great Sage of Meishan, and the Divine Messenger of the Luo Cult were all suppressed by him, and he gradually gained an absolute advantage!

The sudden appearance of Zhen Yuanzi, Lu Ya Daojun, Randeng Ancient Buddha, and Shijian Zizai Wang Buddha was truly unexpected!

The main thing is that Cao Ya didn't expect that Zhen Yuanzi, Dipankara Buddha, and the Buddha of Freedom in the World had all awakened!

Why is Lu Ya Daojun opposing us? Does he already know the Demon Buddha's true nature?

Of course, even if the four powerful figures besiege him, Cao Ya is not without options. At worst, he can give up suppressing the nine enemies, recall the Samsara Seal, and rely on the Niwan Palace World to protect himself. That would not be a big problem.

However, this would inevitably diminish their prestige, and the situation of the Crimson Demon Sect would likely become even more unfavorable!

But the current situation is one that makes those dozen or so powerful individuals nervous and feel troubled!
