In the starry sky, the eternal sun shone brightly, and a crimson pillar of light flew out from the sun, shining towards the golden body of the Buddha.

The solemn golden statue of Buddha simply smiled and pinched the scorching beam of light coming from the Buddha with two fingers of his right hand.

“Amitabha Buddha, benefactor, my Dharma name is: Vairocana Buddha!”

"You're being far too kind of me to use the power of the sun against my golden body," the Great Sun Tathagata said softly in the starry sky.

Zhang Bairen's expression remained unchanged; he simply compressed and distorted the power of Haoyang, transforming it into the black hole devouring power of the Star Devourer.

The Buddha's golden finger dimmed slightly, and then, with absolute power, crushed the dark pillar of light in his hand.

"So that's how it is. Extreme heat is darkness."

The sun, which constantly releases light and heat, can also become darkness that constantly devours light and heat.

"The cycle of Yin and Yang is the ultimate principle of all things; this humble monk understands." The Great Sun Tathagata looked at his finger, his originally indifferent expression turning into one of sudden realization.

In the world of immortals and heroes, perhaps there are no gods who pay attention to the changes in the sun.

Because, in their minds, the sun is eternal and supreme.

In the world of technology, however, speculation and exploration take place.

The sun, too, ages and changes.

From the sun to the black hole, it undergoes continuous expansion and collapse, eventually forming the most massive celestial body in the universe.

The sun constantly releases energy; black holes constantly devour energy.

Two different types of celestial bodies, differing only in the time period, can have completely opposite situations.

This also aligns with the Yin-Yang theory.

Even black holes don't have absolute extremes.

Because there's also the concept of white holes.

From the microcosm of nature and the human body's cycle to the universe and the evolution of celestial bodies, everything falls within the scope of the Yin-Yang principle.

Zhang Bairen also grasped this point.

Seeing that Tathagata had once again defused his probing attack, Zhang Bairen prepared to make his move.

The Earth between the two is similar to the ancient star Yinghuo in the world of "Covering the Sky" and the star of the Big Dipper Burial Emperor.

Under the protection of a mysterious force, they will not be greatly affected.

Their normal attacks could shatter a planet, but if they were to land on Earth, their power would be reduced and the damage lessened.

Like the Buddha's palm strike, it could destroy an entire continent from the perspective of the stars.

However, after landing on Earth, it could only suppress Sun Wukong without causing much damage.

This is what makes Earth special.

“Amitabha, benefactor, you have already made two moves.”

"Now, it's time for this humble monk to make his move." After saying this, the Buddha directly unleashed his vast Buddha palm.

Suddenly, it felt as if the entire world was pressing down on him.

Zhang Bairen looked at the Buddha's palm and felt an unparalleled pressure, an all-suppressing will, and the chanting of thousands of believers filling his mind.

"Is this the Tathagata Palm?!" Zhang Bairen could sense that Tathagata's energy level was far inferior to his own, but due to the special nature of the move, it could unleash a powerful combat force several times the energy.

"Chen Family Martial Arts - Heaven-Destroying Hand!"

Zhang Bairen, practicing the Xuan Gong, unleashed a top-tier move from the world of the Tomb of the Gods.

This is an early move from the Chen Family Martial Arts Manual, and in terms of power, it is naturally inferior to the Tathagata Palm.

However, Zhang Bairen's energy level is much stronger than that of the Buddha.

Therefore, the difference in the power of the moves can be eliminated.

Two golden hands, one of which is the golden body of Buddha, slowly clasped out, possessing a physical form.

One is a giant hand of energy, no weaker than the other, but without a physical form.

Two golden palms collided on Earth, creating invisible ripples in the void and causing energy tides.

Fortunately, the entire solar system is protected by a special array.

Even a battle between top-tier immortals and gods would find it difficult to disrupt the perfect arrangement and layout of the stars in the solar system.

"Buddha, let's fight somewhere else!"

"This place is too close to the mortal realm. You don't want to destroy the mortal realm, do you?" Zhang Bairen asked.

"Amitabha, why don't you come to my Buddhist kingdom for a battle, benefactor?" the Buddha said, as endless golden light appeared behind him.

Golden light spread, obscuring the brilliant starry sky, as if the path to heaven had been revealed before Zhang Bairen.

Clearly, the domains of these immortals, gods, and Buddhas are not in the starry sky, but within small worlds.

Seeing this, Zhang Bairen could understand why Earth was so special and why immortals, gods, and Buddhas valued it so much.

Originally, Earth was equivalent to the ancestral land; it was just that immortals, gods, and Buddhas found a space within Earth to reside in—the natural world.

Thus, the Buddha occupied the Buddhist realm of Mount Ling, the Heavenly Court occupied the highest heavenly realm, and the Underworld occupied the netherworld and hell.

The Three Realms exist in relation to Earth, but they have been refined by a group of immortals and gods to surpass Earth.

The Earth itself has been absurdly enhanced by all the gods and immortals throughout history.

This situation is similar to the world of Jackie Chan Adventures, but it is also completely different.

In the world of Journey to the West: Conquering Demons, there is no yin-yang cycle of righteousness and darkness, nor the eternal struggle between the righteous and the demonic paths.

In this world, the immortals and Buddhas hold an absolute advantage!

Under the management of both the immortals and the Buddhas, their own base became increasingly powerful.

Their ancestral land, while remaining ordinary, was repeatedly strengthened by immortals and gods.

Therefore, unlike the Jackie Chan Adventures world, it did not embark on a path of self-destruction, but instead embarked on a path of self-strengthening.

After seeing the Buddhist realm of Mount Ling, Zhang Bairen understood everything.

Zhang Bairen also figured out the rules governing how this world works.

So this is what the celestial realm, the Buddhist realm, and the underworld are like.

The Three Realms and Six Paths seem quite ordinary, don't they?

It's not even as good as the normal universe setting in fantasy novels.

For example, the stories of "The Tomb of the Gods" and "Covering the Sky" represent normal cosmologies, rather than just the basic map of the mortal Earth.

However, for a movie world, a mythological world based on Earth, to be able to nurture a stellar-level Great Sun Tathagata is already quite outrageous.

Zhang Bairen looked at the golden Buddha realm of the Great Sun Tathagata, and saw that the inner world passage had also opened behind him.

“Venerable Tathagata, your Buddha realm is too small; I’m afraid you’ll damage it.”

"How about coming to my world?" Zhang Bairen asked rhetorically.

When Tathagata looked into Zhang Bairen's inner world, he felt that the rules were complete and perfect. At each extreme point of the world, there were treasures and spiritual plants to suppress it, and there were also gods sitting in the stars of the heavens.

This person's exclusive world seems to far surpass the realms of immortals and Buddhas!

"Amitabha, benefactor, shall we stop?" the Buddha asked.

"No rush, I want to test your skills."

"It's been a long time since I've fought at full strength since I gained this power!" Zhang Bairen replied.

The Buddha sighed softly, then said, "In that case, let's go to the depths of the starry sky and have a friendly spar!"

"If you have the guts, you can come along!" Zhang Bairen opened a spatial passage, revealing the dark starry sky opposite.

With one step, the golden statue returned to its normal size.

Zhang Bairen's figure has already reached hundreds of light-years away.

After carefully sensing the situation and finding no problems, Tathagata transformed into a golden light and followed Zhang Bairen's steps.
