Cao Ya wielded the Human Emperor Sword in one hand and the Reincarnation Seal in the other, activating them respectively using the "Grass Sword Technique" and the "Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art." Combined with his own understanding of the Great Dao of Laws, as well as his incomparably powerful physical body and divine soul...

The final result is—

He actually managed to block the crowd with a single strike and even suppressed the backlash from the Demon Buddha!

Lu Ya, Qi Sha Dao Ren, the Demon Lord, the Water Ancestor, and others were quite surprised.

What kind of divine skill is that? Why has it never been discovered in the countless millennia of the past?

This Xuanjie has actually delved so deeply into the Dao of Reincarnation that he created such a secret technique?!

No wonder the Reincarnation Seal willingly went to him...

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

In the universe, when it comes to the attainments of the Dao of Reincarnation, after Houtu's death, Xuanjie is probably one of the best, rarely encountering an opponent.

Moreover, his thoughts were quite aligned with Houtu's, so the scene before him was understandable.

"Heh, Demon Buddha, you've lost both your wife and your army this time," the Demon Lord chuckled.

Everyone laughed, with a hint of schadenfreude.

The Seven Killings Daoist, in particular, felt extremely gratified!

Currently, the Demon Buddha is not only out of control of his "other self," unable to achieve perfection and unable to escape his predicament, but he has also lost his peerless divine weapon, actively recognizing another as his master and abandoning the Demon Buddha.

The Demon Buddha, this being from the other shore, is truly laughable!

They laughed and laughed, but then they sighed.

Because for those on the other side, this is not something that cannot be changed.

Even if it seems destined!

If one day the Demon Buddha breaks free, then everything today will be reversed by him!

Reversing time directly!

"Reincarnation Seal, you really are going to betray me!" The Demon Buddha's voice rang out, icy cold.

The pulse of the Reincarnation Seal seemed to be the answer.

The true spirit of the Reincarnation Seal is actively eroding the Demon Buddha's mark, striving to completely break free from the Demon Buddha's control and recognize Cao Ya as its master.

This struggle resulted in the Reincarnation Seal being unable to fully recover, only gaining strength at the Celestial Immortal level.

The Overlord Blade in Meng Qi's hand was of the same type.

Deep within the Overlord's Blade, the mark of the Demon Buddha also exists.

The Human Emperor Sword, the Nether Sea Sword, and the Demon Saint Spear do not have this hidden danger. The Human Emperor, the Heavenly Slaughter Daoist, and the Demon Saint have all passed away. Their weapons merely embody their ideals. Since they have chosen a new master, it means that this new master and the old master are actually the same kind of people in terms of ideology.

So why change?

Moreover, they actively recognized the new master and willingly acknowledged him. Under such circumstances, how could they resist the control of the new master?

On the contrary, they will do their best to help their new owner fight against powerful enemies!

Even though it has spanned the long river of time!

The peerless divine weapon is the essence of the other shore, unique in all the heavens and myriad realms, unique in the past and future. Therefore, no matter when or what realm you go to, as long as you encounter it, it is a peerless weapon of the other shore!

Boom...

Driven by Cao Ya's divine power, the meaning of reincarnation permeated the air, and the six black holes seemed to be like the six paths of reincarnation, where all living beings in the universe and all things in heaven and earth seemed to be reincarnating.

This artistic conception is quite in line with the Great Dao contained within the Samsara Seal, and it seems that it can also, in turn, bless the true spirit of the Samsara Seal, helping it to suppress and erase the marks of demons and Buddhas.

In this mutually reinforcing state, coupled with the power of the Human Emperor Sword, Cao Ya actually managed to withstand the attacks from Lu Ya, the Demon Lord, the Water Ancestor, the Seven Killings Daoist, and others, protecting the Samsara Seal and ensuring his own survival.

Seeing that they could do nothing against Cao Ya, who possessed two peerless divine weapons, the heroes did not linger and all left.

In any case, they suffered no losses in this battle. Meng Qi and Xuan Jie were the ones who benefited, and Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu, and Zhao Heng could also be considered to have benefited. The one who lost out was the Demon Buddha.

Lu Ya didn't actually lose out.

Jiang Zhiwei and the other two are not his pawns.

Moreover, he had other means to make a deal with Meng Qi.

"Mysterious Ring..." the Demon Buddha whispered, containing the deepest malice.

Today, his losses are truly immeasurable! His heart aches so much he can hardly breathe!

Upon hearing this, Cao Ya chuckled, holding the Emperor's Sword in one hand and the Reincarnation Seal in the other, avoiding the deceased Buddhas and demons, and safely descended Mount Ling.

"Xuan Jie is a Buddhist monk. Who stands behind him?"

Beneath the seal atop Mount Ling, the Demon Buddha raised his eyes and saw a warm and translucent jade ruyi and a pure and crystalline Bodhi tree, a double seal suppressing him.

In an instant, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, along with undisguised hatred.

"Yuanshi Tianzun, or Buddha?"

The Demon Buddha knew very well that in ancient times, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, in order to break free from the limitations of the innate "cause of all fruits," had tried to devote himself to Buddhism in order to find a way to transcend. As a result, he severed his body as a Holy Buddha and, under the guidance of the Ancient Buddha Bodhi, ascended to the other shore with a Buddhist heart, becoming known as the "Holy Buddha." He deduced and perfected his own "Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts" in order to break free from the shackles on his body.

Because of his special nature, the Holy Buddha rarely interacted with others, and his information was kept secret and rarely circulated in the mortal world. If it weren't for the fact that the Demon Buddha had many tricks up his sleeve and had gained the great trust of both the Heavenly Emperor and the Buddha, he would have had a hard time figuring out the Holy Buddha's background.

In ancient times, prehistoric times, and ancient times, it was commonplace for these important figures to use aliases.

Even the Demon Buddha himself has many identities, doesn't he?

As for the Holy Buddha, having completed the plan of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, he departed from the mortal world after establishing the Pure Land and has already attained Nirvana.

But the Demon Buddha knew that if the Primordial Celestial Venerable wished, he could appear as the Holy Buddha at any time.

The Buddha need not say more.

The essence of Shaolin Temple lies in the third move, "The Tathagata Palm"—"A Smile While Holding a Flower," which, in the final analysis, is one of the lineages passed down from Buddha.

"Or perhaps, both?" The Demon Buddha pondered. In the late Middle Ages, he was defeated by the Buddha, suppressed by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and the Jade Ruyi descended from the sky, followed by the Bodhi Tree.

Anyone in the world who sees through his seal will feel a jolt in their heart, wondering if Buddha and Yuanshi Tianzun have formed an alliance.

Although Cao Ya had very little karma, in the eyes of the Demon Buddha, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable was the "cause of all effects," and his mastery of the path of cause and effect was unparalleled throughout history!

If he had done anything underhanded, the Demon Buddha knew that even he would have a hard time figuring it out before he was freed.

As a being who has attained enlightenment, the Buddha's methods are beyond imagination.

It's wrong to say it, and it's absurd to think about it!

Once I get out of here... the Reincarnation Seal, the Overlord's Blade, these peerless divine weapons will still be mine!

I am the demon of destruction, the symbol of "annihilation," and I grow stronger as the end times approach...

This double seal will one day break, and I'll be waiting...

The Demon Buddha took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and countless images flashed through his mind—glory, lurking, regret, and exhilaration…

He savored the myriad emotions within his heart, deepening his resolve, and his demonic intent grew ever stronger.

On the other side, Cao Ya went down the mountain and met Meng Qi and the others.
