The Southern Wilderness, ruled by the Crimson Demon Sect, is teeming with life and full of vitality. Every face is brimming with energy; seeing hope gives one great motivation!
"Hoo." Cao Ya's divine sense spread out, and he suddenly smiled. A mysterious light rose behind him, and chaos filled the air.
"Has it started?" Qi Zhengyan noticed something in the distance and looked up.
Behind him, the demons who followed him because of the Demon Emperor's claws were obedient to him, but they were also very horrified!
"Boom!" Cao Ya moved, stepping out of the Southern Wilderness and heading towards the outer star river.
A unique Daoist aura, permeating the cycle of reincarnation, shook and terrified the real world!
"There are still many important figures who haven't awakened," Cao Ya sighed as his divine sense swept over them.
The extraterrestrial stars, formed from fragments of the real world, also reflect the heavens and hang atop the vast sky.
Many of the great supernatural beings, legends, and creators of ancient times are now asleep here.
Even though Meng Qi achieved legendary status, the aura of calamity grew stronger, but not all of them returned.
Of course, the highest realm is limited to creation. Those who reach the other shore are either within chaos or sealed like the Demon Buddha. No matter what stars there are, they cannot make those who reach the other shore slumber.
Therefore, those who have reached the other shore leave behind "beacons" and "fish" as backup plans. To a certain extent, this will stimulate them to awaken one after another, return from chaos, and compete for the great opportunity of the final tribulation!
"Fortunately, the return of those who have reached the other shore still takes time and cannot be reproduced quickly."
Cao Ya could sense that within those stars, there was still a faint, continuous life force.
He didn't act rashly. After all, there were many ancient legends and fortunes, and their identities were complex. Many of them were of human origin or close to humans. How could he possibly attack recklessly?
Furthermore, there are also some who did not participate in the struggle for supremacy in the real world.
What they seek is merely to take advantage of the special nature of the final tribulation to break through, and even to hope for the other shore!
There are no grudges or entanglements between us and these kinds of beings, so why target them indiscriminately?
Cao Ya didn't go crazy and indiscriminately slaughter cultivators!
He has always targeted only his enemies and has never involved innocent people.
"The final calamity... I wonder if I can seize this opportunity to attain enlightenment?!"
Cao Ya felt a pang of sadness, but also a glimmer of hope.
【The Supreme Being】In the universe, as eras change, there are immense calamities that encompass all the heavens.
In each era, there will be a Heavenly Emperor who rules over the eight wastelands and six directions and receives the blessing of the Great Dao!
In a sense, the Heavenly Emperor is a pillar that sustains the existence of an era.
Of course, if this era is destined to perish, the Heavenly Emperor will also find it difficult to survive, unlike other beings on the other side who, with their boundless power, forcefully cross the cataclysmic annihilation and traverse to the new era!
Even if the Jade Emperor obtains the secret method of the Daoist Venerable, he must still give up the "Heavenly Emperor's position" from the ancient times, sever all ties with the "Jade Emperor," and mutilate his own soul in order to deceive the heavens and the sea!
Its original form, the realm of the other shore in the past, was completely shattered, and even the peerless divine weapon - Haotian Mirror - was broken!
Even without the secret techniques of the Daoist Venerable, the "Supreme Emperor of the Azure Heaven," who once rivaled the Three Pure Ones and Amitabha Buddha in the Primordial Era, would still be completely annihilated and would not be able to survive to the new era with even a sliver of hope!
The "Heavenly Emperor" of this era was indeed powerful, having killed the Demon Lord in a one-on-one battle!
It is still slightly inferior to the "Heavenly Emperor," but the reason why this world has not yet ended is precisely because the "Heavenly Emperor" is still lingering on within the blade of time and has not yet died.
Naturally, this era can still be maintained, but the situation is dire and the environment has changed drastically. Even the great powers of antiquity must remain dormant until the end of time, when they can awaken and fight for a chance to survive!
In fact, according to the deductions of those who have transcended the world, this end may very well be the last one!
Therefore, those on the other shore fight fiercely, all wanting to grasp the "Tao Fruit" and emulate the Dao Venerable to transcend!
However, some beings on the other side believe that after this era ends, it will be like the Primordial Era, with "the cause of all effects," bearing the enormous karma of all the heavens and myriad worlds, and opening up a new era!
Therefore, Meng Qi, who inherited the cause and effect of the Three Pure Ones and possessed the rudimentary form of "the cause of all effects", has received so much attention!
It is highly likely that the beginning of a new era will depend on this "Emperor Yuan," who is only a legend!
Similarly, some of those on the other side want to suppress Meng Qi, disrupt the Three Pure Ones' transcendent arrangements, and intend to take his place!
Cao Ya didn't think that much about it. He knew very well that Meng Qi's path to the other side had already been paved.
As the new generation of "cause of all fruits," "Emperor Yuan" Meng Qi, in the original book, later attained the other shore and, with the help of the Great Dao Tree left by the Dao Venerable, truly opened a new era. He also wielded the Doomsday Ship left by the Human Emperor, possessing boundless divine power, protecting all living beings and helping them overcome the doomsday disaster.
Without a doubt, this is a safe way out!
Because of the difficulties on the other side of the Seven Stars, Cao Ya thought to himself that there was little hope. Only when the final calamity was most intense, when the heavenly secrets were in chaos and all paths were out of order, would there be a sliver of hope!
Most importantly, at that point in time, all those on the other side of the path would inevitably clash and devote their energy to the pursuit of the "Tao Fruit," leaving them little time to obstruct his path to enlightenment!
"I only hope that some other versions of myself can become seven stars in other universes!"
Cao Ya sighed inwardly. In the universe of "Peerless One," there are many Seven-Star Beyond Realms, and none of them would be happy to see characters who are at odds with them attain the Dao Beyond Realms!
It's not just about one's spiritual foundation and understanding, but also about whether one can unravel the mystery of the other shore!
More importantly, we must find allies to help resist those on the other side who are maliciously blocking our path!
Cao Ya figured he wouldn't have any allies left.
No force would be willing to accept the ideology of the Crimson Demon Sect.
This is the best opportunity in the final calamity. If you miss it, you can only hope for a significant boost in combat power. First, become a seven-star, and then seek the other shore realm in the [Supreme Being] universe!
In fact, given Cao Ya's situation, if he were willing to side with one side, he would certainly be valued!
But he was unwilling to do that. What he wanted was to promote the Crimson Demon Sect to the real world, and even influence all the heavens and myriad worlds, so that everyone could become like a dragon!
"Thankfully, I'm not alone!"
Cao Ya smiled slightly. The three giants of the Crimson Demon Sect, besides himself, were Qi Zhengyan and Meng Qi.
Although Meng Qi is known as the "Sword of Shock".
Qi Zhengyan is only a Celestial Immortal. He may have a chance to become a legend and achieve great fortune in the future, but the chance to reach the Other Shore Realm is obviously slim.
But Meng Qi is destined to reach the other shore, and with the protection of the "Yuan Emperor," he can rest assured.
All the Three Pure Ones asked of Meng Qi was that he take responsibility for their karma and look after their lineage.
As for Meng Qi's ideas, how to shape the new era's structure, which camp he belongs to, and what his stance is, the Three Pure Ones will not interfere and will let him do as he pleases.
The other shore fruit position given by the Three Pure Ones is enough to meet their needs, so Meng Qi is not at a loss!
In fact, countless legends and destinies dream of being chosen by the Three Pure Ones!
"However, I am their elder, and it is not right for me to rely on the protection of the younger generation in the end."
Cao Ya pondered, realizing that in the next era, he might already be lagging behind "Emperor Yuan" Meng Qi, and had no choice but to accept this.
But right now, we still have to stand up, show our top-notch power, support the Crimson Demon Gate, and strike at all sides!
"I cannot stop the other shore realm, but Meng Qi will gather all karma before finally attaining enlightenment..."
Cao Ya chuckled softly. With his combat prowess, he could defeat any legend, no matter what it was!
And all the creations are equally true, capable of stopping the enemy!
"I cannot admit defeat before then! The Crimson Demonic Sect must be passed down!"
A resolute look flashed across Cao Ya's face, and the Dao of Reincarnation surged, overwhelming the heavens!
Although he was a Shaolin monk, he later joined Xuanbei in leading a group of Shaolin monks south to the Southern Wilderness, becoming part of the Crimson Demon Sect.
Cao Ya's foundation also gradually shifted from Buddhism at the beginning.
Even after studying the "Withering and Flourishing Bodhi" general principles of the Tathagata Palm and the "Smiling with a Flower" technique.
But in fact, he also learned a few moves of the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying and the Nine Seals of Primordial Beginning.
As he advanced through the ranks, breaking through the legendary perfection and overcoming the barriers of creation, what he comprehended was the Samsara Seal, which replaced Buddhist cultivation and became Cao Ya's true foundation of Dao!
With the peerless divine weapon "Reincarnation Seal" in hand, it wouldn't be difficult for him to embark on the "Path of Reincarnation".
Moreover, among the others, there are also those who have comprehended the "reincarnation conception," such as the "Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Skill" and the "Six Paths Reincarnation Fist."
"Buzzing..."
Behind Cao Ya's head, a swirling auspicious cloud appeared, yet it was dark and gloomy, as if it connected to the cycle of reincarnation.
"Thump!" The entire cycle of the universe seemed to be shaken, trembling slightly.
Throughout the world, not to mention the legendary great beings, even the three realms of Dharma Body—Celestial Immortal, Earthly Immortal, and Human Immortal—felt something and were filled with astonishment.
"What happened?"
"Look at the sky!"
"That's... an indestructible Arhat? Is he about to achieve... a great destiny?!"
The experts were dumbfounded. Although times had changed and the environment of the world had changed, most of them were still stuck in the third stage of the Dharma Body. They would be so happy to have some legendary characteristics that they couldn't sleep!
As a result, the indestructible Arhat has actually broken through the limits of legend and attempted to prove the Dao of Creation!
Such a cultivation speed is unparalleled, even if you search through all of ancient history!
Apart from the Three Pure Ones, who are born on the other shore, or slightly less so, who are born as divine beings of creation!
However, their gestation period is often measured in millions of years!
"Amazing!" The crowd exclaimed in amazement, filled with admiration. In this new era, the "Indestructible Arhat" should be the leader!
This is a being that can truly rival the resurrected ancient powerhouses!
"Emperor Yuan" Meng Qi, Master Lu, and Su Wuming all appear somewhat weaker in front of "Indestructible Arhat".
Others, such as Gao Lan and Han Guang, were at most celestial beings, far inferior in skill.
In terms of seniority and age, even in the present day, Buhuai Luohan is not young, but he is definitely not old either.
Of all the aforementioned powerful figures, Meng Qi is one generation younger; the others are all older!
"An indestructible Arhat! What a stroke of luck!" Inside the Xuantian Sect, many martial artists gazed at him with envy.
“Reincarnation…” A low sigh came from the Time Blade that the Xuantian Sect had worshipped for generations.
Heaven and Earth, in ancient times they were referred to together, both being the other shore.
But after the Demon Lord attacked the Heavenly Court, the secrets of the Heavenly Court were exposed. In the end, the Immortal Realm was destroyed, the Heavenly Court crashed, and the Heavenly Emperor was forced to throw himself into the Time Blade to prolong his life and wait for an opportunity.
Then, on the day that Tu reached the other shore, he transformed into the Seal of Reincarnation, which evolved into the "Great Dao of Reincarnation," and vanished into thin air.
Looking at the "Indestructible Arhat" Xuan Ring, which uses "reincarnation" to prove creation, the Heavenly Emperor was still deeply moved.
"The choice of 'Reincarnation Seal' was indeed correct; 'Indestructible Arhat' is the best role!"
The Heavenly Emperor whispered, "This Blade of Time doesn't choose its master."
Within the demon race, the peerless divine weapon, the Demon Saint Spear, trembled with a clang, seemingly indicating something.
The little fox Qingqiu, who had been recognized as the master of the Demon Saint Spear, couldn't help but hug the phoenix-winged black and gold spear and blink in confusion.
"Buzz." The Demon Saint Spear transmitted a scene, which entered Qingqiu's mind, and he suddenly realized.
At this moment, the returning demon saints noticed the commotion and, in astonishment, all came looking for them.
There are the Bull Demon King, the Roc Demon King, the Flood Dragon Demon King, and others, each with a profound and unfathomable aura. They are either extraordinary beings or legends!
"That Arhat from the Crimson Demon Sect? Heh, not bad." Peng Demon King narrowed his long, narrow pupils and sneered.
"We must not be careless!" the little fox Qingqiu warned. "He holds the Reincarnation Seal in his hand!"
"The Crimson Demonic Sect also possesses the Demon Emperor's Claw!"
"It is said that the 'Yuan Emperor' is none other than the 'Sword of Shocking Gods,' one of the three giants of the Crimson Demon Sect!"
"Then we'll need to add another Overlord Blade!"
Several great saints of the demon race couldn't help but become solemn. The peerless divine weapon was of the Other Shore level, on par with the Demon Saint Spear.
In the past, they were all subordinates of the Demon Saint, following the first phoenix since the beginning of time, and launched the "Demon Chaos on Earth" calamity after the ancient Heavenly Court crashed!
Even if the Human Emperor forged the sword at the Dragon Platform and rose rapidly to sweep away demons, they were not afraid under the command of the Demon Saint!
Even later, when they attacked Mount Ling, they were all tricked by Ananda and suffered countless deaths and injuries, but they only recently escaped.
But I witnessed the horrors on the other side firsthand and was deeply moved!
These peerless divine weapons, forged with painstaking effort by those on the other side, are equally terrifying in nature!
A fully revived peerless weapon can easily destroy creation itself.
At present, although the demon race has more than one peerless divine weapon, it is clear that the demon emperor is not only the ancestor of the demon race, but also the "holy mother goddess" of the human race. Moreover, she has never been involved in affairs. The treasures she left behind also adhere to her consistent attitude: to protect the demon race from destruction. She can forget about attacking outside the demon race!
Therefore, all they have at their disposal is this Phoenix Wing Black Gold Spear!
The human and demon races have been rivals since ancient times. In the past, "demons wreaked havoc on the land," causing a painful history for the human race. Later, the human emperor attained enlightenment and blocked the demon saint, so it can be said that they were evenly matched.
But before the Human Emperor passed away, he merged into the universe, laying the foundation for the "great prosperity of the human race".
After the Middle Ages, whether in the real world or in all the myriad realms, the human race has been the dominant force, while the demon race has suffered repeated defeats.
Naturally, they wouldn't want to see the Undying Arhat successfully attain enlightenment!
The legendary realm allows one to defy fate. If one breaks through it, one might be comparable to the middle level of fate, or even the peak of fate!
Using the Reincarnation Seal again would be even more awe-inspiring, enough to make even a group of Great Saints like them wary!
"However, we're not the only ones in a hurry," the Bull Demon King suddenly said with a smile.
Several Great Sages nodded, and the Flood Dragon Demon King said, "Although the human and demon races have conflicts involving survival resources and often engage in fierce battles, they do not involve the Great Dao. With the end of the calamity approaching and the era ending, everyone will be doomed. Either we will all die, or we will all live and then wage war again in the next era. In comparison, there is no need to rush into a full-blown war immediately!"
"Whether the land and population of the real world can spread their faith is crucial to the foundation of Luo religion, especially Maitreya Buddhism!"
"This is the most intense conflict on the eve of the final catastrophe!"
