"Uh, Venerable Guangcheng, how could I possibly accept this?" Meng Qi scratched his head. Dipankara Buddha was coming towards him; how could he let Guangchengzi shield him from the disaster?
He is a legendary master who has mastered the "Nine Seals of Primordial Beginning" and has also studied parts of the "Seven Swords of Heaven Interception" and the "Buddha's Palm". In terms of combat power, he is no less than an ordinary cultivator.
If we also consider the Overlord's Absolute Blade, even those at the peak of Creation or the perfection of Creation could fight against him!
Therefore, Meng Qi believed that he was capable of fighting against the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, and even if he lost, he could at least hold him off!
"Master, when you go to other battlefields, the Overlord's Blade will be of great use!" Guang Chengzi replied with a smile.
He suddenly transmitted his voice secretly: "Sect Leader, you must be wary of the Demon Buddha! In this situation, if you say the Demon Buddha didn't have a plan, not even a ghost would believe it!"
Meng Qi's heart skipped a beat. Indeed, given his situation, while the Ancient Buddha Dipankara was powerful, he was no longer in a life-or-death crisis. Only that Demon Buddha, once freed, would immediately face annihilation!
Guang Chengzi and other immortals and gods of Yuxu Palace could withstand the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp, but when the Demon Buddha made his move, he directly crushed them all and they were all reduced to ashes!
“Since the Overlord's Absolute Blade hasn't recovered to its other shore level in the battle against the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, it can't win; at best, it'll be a draw!” Guang Chengzi transmitted his voice. “In this way, the Demon Buddha has an opportunity, in case…”
"Therefore, it is still up to me to deal with Dipankara Buddha. That demonic Buddha will not be able to focus his attention on me."
"Master, you are fighting all around the North Four, attacking the Luo Sect's divine envoys, as well as the Great Saints and Lesser Saints of the demon race. Yet you still have time to guard against the Demon Buddha's sneak attacks."
"Otherwise, I won't be able to concentrate. If I'm not careful, the Demon Buddha might seize the opportunity and use his backup plan, which would be extremely dangerous!"
"You should know that the Demon Buddha and the Dipankara Buddha have completely different needs for you, the Sect Leader."
"One wants to integrate with the sect leader, while the other is focused on the 'cause of all effects'."
"Even though the Demon Buddha is a 'destroyer of the world,' it's hard to guarantee that they won't unite!"
"Hiss." Meng Qi gasped, his expression turning serious.
Guang Chengzi's words make perfect sense. Even if the Demon Buddha destroys the world, he will not kill all living beings; he will always leave some behind.
Furthermore, for Dipankara Buddha, as long as he obtains the "cause of all fruits," he can immediately attain the other shore. At that time, even if the Demon Buddha escapes, he will not be afraid at all.
In this context, the alliance between the Demon Buddha and the Dipankara Buddha is not without precedent.
Regardless of the facts, we must make plans early, because it will be too late once a crisis occurs!
"Thank you for the reminder, I almost fell for it." Meng Qi was still shaken. These old monsters were all formidable.
"It's my duty," Guang Chengzi replied, and together with Dipankara Buddha, they went to the outer heavens.
"Guangcheng Tianzun, please." Dipankara Buddha clasped his hands together, and the halo behind his head shone brightly, bursting forth with starlight and golden light, covering the sky.
"It is impolite not to reciprocate, Ancient Buddha. This humble Taoist will then rely on the power of the Immortal Execution Sword." Guang Chengzi laughed, raising his hand and slashing with the Immortal Execution Sword. The sword energy was fierce and pierced through the universe!
"As expected of Lingbao Tianzun's divine weapon, it is indeed powerful. This humble monk is far inferior to it." Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha praised, but he had no choice but to avoid its sharp edge and dare not directly meet the Zhuxian Sword Qi.
After the Investiture of the Gods, the Jie Sect was defeated, and the Four Swords of Zhuxian were taken away by Yuanshi Tianzun and given to four disciples of the sect. The one in Guangchengzi's hand is the Zhuxian Sword!
"Damn it! It's clearly Master's peerless divine weapon, yet it's been seized by the people of Jade Void Palace."
In the real world, overseas, on the island of Sanxiao, Qiongxiao looked up at the sky, filled with indignation.
On the side, Duobao Tianzun, Yunxiao, and Qiongxiao all looked somewhat disappointed.
The defeat in the Investiture of the Gods war dealt an immense blow to the Jie Sect. The days when all the immortals came to pay homage were long gone.
However, countless millennia have passed, and various calamities have occurred. The Three Immortal Maidens have even experienced death and resurrection. Although they still feel resentful, they no longer feel as unable to accept it as they did at the beginning.
There was nothing they could do. The Jie Sect had miscalculated and fallen into a trap. They were no match for the enemy in strength.
However, witnessing the immortals and gods of Jade Void Palace wield the peerless divine weapon of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao still made him grit his teeth in anger!
Red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves—the Three Pure Ones were originally one family!
However, as the Three Pure Ones established their own Daoist temples and passed down their Daoist lineages, the more disciples they had, the more conflicts accumulated. Coupled with the struggle for Daoist fruits, the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods inevitably erupted.
After this battle, the relationship between the three religions completely plummeted to a freezing point.
Even now, after each of them has returned from their tribulations, many of their fellow disciples have either perished in the face of their tribulations or passed away for various reasons. Only a small number of immortals and gods remain. Therefore, the conflicts of the past have inevitably been suppressed.
In the past, they probably would have already stormed the Kunlun Mountains!
Even though Biyou Palace is no longer as powerful as Yuxu Palace in terms of the number of Creation Realm cultivators, when have they ever been afraid?
Right now, they're just venting their frustrations among their fellow disciples on Sanxiao Island; they have no intention of actually fighting.
Both sides basically remained indifferent, neither trying to befriend the other nor specifically targeting them.
"Alas, the end times are approaching, and the wars in the real world are indeed frequent," Yunxiao sighed.
Such a battle between powerful beings is rare even in the ancient, prehistoric, and ancient times.
But several years is not even a fraction of a single period of seclusion in the past!
But fierce battles have already broken out one after another, creating legends and staining the world with blood!
"That's nothing!"
Duobao Tianzun shook his head, gave a bitter smile, and said, "In a few years, the Other Shore Ones who have been slumbering in the depths of chaos will return, and the universe will begin to perish. That will be the most terrifying time!"
"Even with our fortunes, we are as fragile as ants. Who knows, we might be wiped out in the struggle between two beings from the other side, dying silently without leaving a trace."
The Three Immortals remained silent. Having been suppressed and killed by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, they understood even more what the other shore meant!
Even if they wielded divine weapons like the Hunyuan Golden Bucket and the Golden Dragon Scissors, they would be powerless to resist.
In fact, almost all the peerless divine weapons were forged by those from the other shore, and they can indeed rival one or two of them.
In a real battle, it's not impossible for a fully-fledged being from the Other Shore to destroy a peerless divine weapon!
"We will not interfere in these wars, but the Jie Sect is no longer able to withstand any more blows," sighed Duobao Tianzun.
“Protect the overseas islands from being destroyed. If there is any spare time, we can actually defeat some evil spirits!” Yunxiao said softly.
They were able to discover that in the Nine Netherworlds, there were many evil gods stirring up trouble, and there were many creations and legends associated with them!
"Very well." Venerable Duobao nodded. Although he was cautious, with the other shore beings not appearing, their power was still not inferior to that of any other side.
Boom!!!
At this moment, within the territory of Northern Zhou, immortals unleashed their power, their boundless divine abilities and dazzling brilliance piercing through eternity!
"Boom!" Meng Qi brandished the Overlord Blade, fixed his gaze on several Luo Sect envoys, and roared with lightning as he clashed with them. Despite being outnumbered, he not only held his own but gained the upper hand!
The Luo Sect's envoys remained calm. They had come here not seeking victory, but merely to entangle the enemy.
Anyway, with the precious treasures bestowed by the sect, the overlapping formations, and the combined magic power of everyone, they can barely resist the Yuan Emperor in the short term.
They were confident that after a while, even if they were defeated, the situation in the Great Jin in the south would be clear. "Acting Divine Envoy" Zhen Yuanzi was going north, so what was there to fear from "Emperor Yuan"?
The other great and lesser saints of the demon race, as well as the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats who stood on Maitreya Buddha's side, were taken over by the two legendary figures of the Human Emperor's descendants, Mr. Lu of Huamei Manor, and the remaining immortals of Yuxu Palace.
Unlike the Great Jin Dynasty, on the Northern Zhou battlefield, the human faction held the advantage in the legendary and above realms!
Legend has it that the army attacked and fought to the death, with rivers of blood flowing and corpses strewn across the fields!
"War! War! War!"
The "Mad Emperor" roared loudly. He was the emperor of Northern Zhou, in charge of the greater good, and he also used the Human Emperor Sword. The radiance of the kingly way flowed, covering the territory of Northern Zhou, and drawing the human army, causing their combat power to soar!
People like Chonghe Daoist of Chunyang Sect, Ye Yuqi, the "Fairy of Cold Ice" of Huamei Manor, and the Dharma Body Realm experts of the Human Emperor's descendants all charged into the enemy lines and fought bravely!
These people are all powerful; some are human immortals, some are earth immortals, and some are heaven immortals. They cultivate superior and wondrous methods and possess extraordinary supernatural powers. They should not be underestimated.
Furthermore, with the Heavenly Might of the Human Emperor's Sword, his magical power and killing ability are undoubtedly multiplied!
Although the enemy was also formidable, they were still difficult to stop. Even when surrounded and attacked, they could escape safely from the Emperor's sword, recuperate temporarily, and then charge again, achieving significant results!
If the Human Emperor Sword hadn't awakened to the other shore level, how could these enemy troops have been able to invade Northern Zhou?
Even so, in battlefield clashes, the Northern Zhou had the upper hand, regardless of the level of combat!
"It did give them freedom."
In a corner of the void, the Demon Buddha smiled gently, his eyes filled with a deep demonic intent, which made even the Demon Lord and the Emperor of Fengdu feel wary.
They are all still trapped, but the seal has loosened. With the help of divine weapons, they can create the Six Paths of Reincarnation space, pull in beings from the real world or the myriad realms, make them reincarnators, issue them tasks, and force them to do things for them with their lives.
Therefore, how could they possibly turn a deaf ear to such a chaotic time of war? They would naturally use a wisp of magical power to take form, observe from afar, and wait for an opportunity to act.
The existence of these Lords of the Six Paths of Reincarnation also made the heroes of the human race quite wary.
"I initially thought it was just the work of a few reincarnated beings, but who would have thought..."
The Demon Lord shook his head. Chonghe Daoist, Ye Yuqi, Jiang Zhiwei, and others—weren't they all reincarnators? Yet they were all released by Lu Ya Daoist, made a deal with Meng Qi, and took the opportunity to escape suppression and gain their freedom.
Thinking of this, the Demon Lord, the Emperor of Fengdu, and others couldn't help but feel extremely envious.
The real world was also in turmoil, and the aura of the end times was extremely strong.
If they continue to be suppressed, they will likely face certain death!
As long as we can escape, we'd be willing to liberate not only a group of reincarnators, but all of them!
However, they lacked Lu Ya Daojun's fortune and divine artifacts, and could only be envious.
"Under the legends, victory or defeat may have an impact, but it's not a big deal! The results of the Legendary Realm and the Creation Realm are the key." The Demon Buddha said indifferently, glancing north and south, not really caring about the reincarnators.
His gaze lingered on Meng Qi for a moment, a chill spreading through him.
This is a "self" of the Demon Buddha, whose plan is to use the "fish" as the key to escape.
Unfortunately, due to the machinations of Yuanshi Tianzun and the execution by Yang Jian, which went without a hitch, all their efforts were in vain.
Like him, the Demon Lord stared at Qi Zhengyan with a gloomy look in his eyes.
The Demon Emperor's Claw originally belonged to the Demon Lord. After the Demon Lord's death, the Demon Emperor's Claw fell into the dust and was later obtained by the Demon Lord, who was still a slave of the human race. He used it to rise to power, gathered evil spirits and demons, and created the primordial demonic path. In the struggle between the Human Emperor and the Demon Saint, two beings from the other shore, he rose to prominence in the cracks!
Although the Demon Lord feared the filth of the Demon Emperor's Claw, he was unwilling to use it too extensively.
Without such a peerless divine weapon, the past can no longer be protected beyond the Nine Netherworlds and will be easily erased by those on the other shore.
If one is in the Nine Netherworlds, having already achieved perfect creation and being a powerful figure in the demonic path, and receiving the blessing of the Nine Netherworlds to advance to the pseudo-Other Shore, and then using an unparalleled divine weapon, even a true Other Shore being can be confronted!
Of course, the premise is that the Demon Lord must break free from the seal and no longer be trapped!
"In the real world right now, there are quite a few peerless divine weapons displaying their power," the Emperor of Fengdu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Demon Buddha and the Demon Lord grew even more sinister.
The Seven Killings Daoist standing to the side, with a cold expression, seemed oblivious to the situation.
The Emperor of Fengdu chuckled and dared not provoke the two powerful figures any further.
It should be noted that the Demon Emperor's Claw broke free from the Demon Lord's control, which was the result of the machinations of the other six Paths of Reincarnation.
Although they were all in the same boat and the situation was dire, they had no choice but to unite and jointly establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation Space.
But if given the opportunity, they would never miss it to weaken others!
Meng Qi's initial success in fighting against the Demon Buddha can be attributed, apart from the machinations of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, to the involvement of the Demon Lord, the Emperor of Fengdu, the Water Ancestor, and the Daoist Lord Lu Ya.
The Overlord's Blade, the Demon Emperor's Claw, and the Reincarnation Seal were successively obtained by Meng Qi, Qi Zhengyan, and Xuan Jie, and were no longer affected by the Demon Buddha and the Demon Lord. The Great Emperor of Fengdu and others were happy to see this happen.
The only thing that disappointed them was that the Seven Killings Daoist still possessed the Nether Sea Sword!
After all, who doesn't know that in the Middle Ages, the Seven Killings Daoist died at the hands of the Demon Buddha? Even if he reappears, it goes without saying that he is already basically a puppet of the Demon Buddha!
That Nether Sea Sword was an unparalleled divine weapon forged by the Heavenly Killing Daoist, and it was the number one weapon for killing!
"On the battlefield of Northern Zhou, the human race can be said to have a great advantage." Emperor Fengdu sighed as he watched the battle.
If the human race is at a great disadvantage, they might be able to seize some advantages!
"The Great Jin battlefield, didn't it satisfy your requirements?" the Demon Lord said coldly.
The Emperor of Fengdu was speechless and said, "There are countless experts within the Great Jin Dynasty. Even in our prime, we would be in danger if we dared to enter. How much more so now? We are merely an incarnation of a wisp of magical power!"
As he spoke, the Great Emperor of Fengdu looked at the Demon Buddha with fear in his eyes and said, "As for the Demon Buddha, if he were at his peak, he could sweep across the eight wastelands and be invincible in the nine heavens and ten earths!"
Zhen Yuanzi, Maitreya Buddha, Lu Ya Daojun, Bull Demon King, and Immortal Buddha, though fierce, are all formidable characters at the level of perfect creation!
Even the Great Emperor of Fengdu did not possess such spiritual power in his past lives.
Only the Seven Killings Daoist and the Demon Lord can compare.
The only one who can truly win through words is the Demon Buddha!
In the northern battle, only Guangcheng Tianzun and Randeng Gufo have achieved perfect enlightenment. The rest, such as Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, Daoxing Xianzun, and Yuding Zhenren, are indeed enlightened, but most are at the initial or intermediate level, and a few are at the peak, but none have achieved perfection!
"The power of the Xuanjie is indeed remarkable!" The Demon Buddha ignored the Emperor of Fengdu and praised him.
Such speed is comparable to the perfection of creation, a rare sight throughout history!
There is hope on the other side!
Even though Cao Ya seized the Reincarnation Seal, and the Demon Buddha harbored murderous intent, he also showed no lack of appreciation.
Although he became much more extreme after being reborn into this era, much of the grandeur of the Primordial Supreme God still remains.
Otherwise, how could the Fire Emperor and others have been so deeply entangled in their feelings and willing to serve him with utmost loyalty?
The subsequent harm that caused the Fire Emperor to turn from love to hatred is another matter entirely.
"Huh? Those people from Jade Void Palace..."
