"Duobao Tianzun, Sanxiao Niangniang." The Blood Demon glanced at them and breathed a sigh of relief.
If these immortals and gods of the Jie Sect hadn't intervened, those evil gods might have truly escaped from the Nine Netherworlds...
At that time, no one can predict how the battle in the real world will unfold!
The Blood Demon is Yang Jian, and naturally he doesn't want to see the human race suffer a crushing defeat!
My words just now were meant to subtly discourage the Xuanming Ghost Emperor.
If it weren't for his disguise, he might have another scheme, one with far-reaching implications, that he dared not reveal beforehand. He might not have been able to resist revealing his true form and launching a surprise attack on Dipankara Buddha, Zhen Yuanzi, and Maitreya Buddha!
It was precisely because he had long been aware of the situation on the overseas Sanxiao Island that he was able to remain patient.
Before Duobao Tianzun and the Three Immortal Maidens made their move, they were not sure what to do.
Only now, having witnessed firsthand the obstruction of the evil gods, did a great weight lift from his shoulders, and he suppressed his urge to intervene.
He no longer needed to risk forcibly confronting the evil god! He could remain relatively calm and observe how the situation developed.
The Black Emperor was also watching the battle from the sidelines, his expression calm, unlike the Blood Demon who seemed concerned.
Both sides have Buddhist figures, such as Dipankara Buddha and Maitreya Buddha, while the other side has the Buddha of Immortality and the Bodhisattva of Moonlight.
Who wins and who loses is not of much concern to the Black Emperor, one of the three corpses of the Bodhi Ancient Buddha.
He even hoped that the human faction would win!
Compared to Dipankara Buddha and Maitreya Buddha, these two Buddhist giants who rose to prominence in ancient times...
The indestructible Buddha of this era, due to the Great Dao, is favored by the Black Heaven Emperor, who believes he has a greater hope of reaching the other shore!
Just like the Demon Buddha, the Black Heavenly Emperor also did not believe that the Dipankara Buddha could thwart the Primordial Heavenly Venerable's plans, seize the "cause of all fruits," and perfect his own illusory Great Dao of Cause and Effect.
Maitreya Buddha cannot occupy the future, trace back to the past, or reach the other shore.
However, the Undying King Buddha, no one has taken his place on the Great Dao of Reincarnation. Even if Houtu existed, she has been gone for countless years, leaving only a Reincarnation Seal, which has recognized the Undying King Buddha as its master!
Furthermore, the path of reincarnation, like the great principles of time, space, life, the five elements, wind, and thunder, is not unique like "cause and effect."
Moreover, the progress of the Undying Buddha's cultivation surprised even a giant like the Black Heaven Emperor.
“But the Buddha of Freedom in the World, the Buddha of Medicine…” Black Emperor’s eyes were deep.
Medicine Buddha, who is also the Taoist Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and the Azure Emperor of Heaven, has now been stimulated and awakened from the Middle Ages. He has begun to integrate his various bodies and comprehend the other shore. Perhaps, in the near future, he will begin to attain enlightenment!
With their accumulated experience, the probability of success is not small.
Only the Buddha of Freedom in the World has followed the path of time. This path is not the only one, and even if the Heavenly Emperor were still alive, he could still attain enlightenment.
Unfortunately, even the Buddha of Freedom in this world, who lived through many eras, could not fathom the other shore and was stuck at the point of perfect creation, unable to make any further progress.
As Amitabha Buddha's guide to enlightenment, if the World-Free King Buddha attains enlightenment, Buddhism will surely flourish!
The Xuanming Ghost Emperor, who also stands alongside the Nine Netherworlds and suppresses the Nine Chaotic Heavenly Venerables, has thoughts that are not as complex as those of the Blood Demon and the Black Heavenly Emperor.
Who cares who wins? It has nothing to do with Jiuyou!
"Huh? That incorruptible Buddha actually..." Suddenly, the Xuanming Ghost Emperor's eyes widened.
Not only him, but Blood Demon and Black Emperor also showed expressions of shock!
In the vast expanse beyond the realm of reality, deep within the boundless cosmos, the indestructible Buddha's "Mysterious Precept" allows the Samsara Seal to rival the Heavenly Punishment Axe, the Human Seed Bag, and the Golden Treasure—but that's another story.
Most surprisingly, the invincible Buddha, with his unparalleled power, actually knocked down Maitreya Buddha, causing blood to flow!
"How is this possible..." Maitreya Buddha couldn't believe it. He had recovered to his peak, reaching the pinnacle of creation!
Furthermore, Zhen Yuanzi joined forces with him to attack the Indestructible Buddha!
"Bang! Bang!" Zhen Yuanzi was also sent flying backward. With a flick of his sleeve, he annihilated the sword energy and Daoist aura, and unlike Maitreya Buddha, he was not injured.
Such a scene is already breathtaking enough. Zhen Yuanzi and Maitreya Buddha, two renowned figures whose fame has shaken the ages, are actually no match for an indestructible Buddha?!
"Impressive!" Zhen Yuanzi exclaimed. Such a ruthless character is rare throughout history!
He couldn't help but think of his sworn brother, and sighed softly in his heart.
No matter how powerful one's destiny, without reaching the other shore, one cannot truly roam freely throughout the heavens!
Otherwise, why would he seek refuge with the Eternal Mother? It was during a time of turmoil, when those on the other shore were fighting amongst themselves, making it extremely dangerous, and they had to seek the protection of other beings on the other shore!
Coincidentally, the previous incarnation of the Eternal Mother—the Golden Emperor—was someone he knew well.
This battle was also at the instruction of the Eternal Mother; otherwise, how could the Heavenly Punishment Axe have been used?
To be honest, Zhen Yuanzi didn't really want to get involved in these conflicts.
He only seeks to survive the final tribulation and continue his arduous cultivation in the new era, attempting to understand his own path to the other shore.
But when the universe ends, the One Without the Other Shore will intervene, and no matter how perfect your creation is, you will perish.
"Boom!!" Cao Ya remained indifferent, continuing his attack, his divine power surging as he slaughtered his two formidable enemies.
The torrent of laws, the Path of Bright Light, the Path of Reincarnation, the Great Sun Tathagata Fist, sword energy, precious techniques, the Milky Way, and so on were all used, divided into two groups, one to confront Zhen Yuanzi, and the other to launch a strong attack on Maitreya Buddha!
In terms of threat, both enemies are at the pinnacle of their power and should be roughly equal.
However, Cao Ya could see that Zhen Yuanzi, unlike Maitreya Buddha, was not going all out and was holding back!
Of course, based on Cao Ya's personal experience, Maitreya Buddha's offensive capabilities were slightly inferior to Zhen Yuanzi's.
Although both are at the same level of perfection, it doesn't mean there are no differences.
The most obvious examples are Yang Jian and Sun Wukong, who are also at the pinnacle of their cultivation. But how many people of the same level can rival them? Very few!
"Cough cough." Maitreya Buddha coughed up blood, his luster dimmed, and he was swept away by the torrent of laws.
Those layers of white lotus flowers, too, crumbled one after another under the fierce attack of the Great Sun Tathagata Fist.
"Such a terrifying character, yet he has no connection with any other beings?"
Maitreya Buddha murmured, finding it all unbelievable. Was there really no powerful figure eyeing the Immortal King Buddha, seeking to "subtract and attain emptiness"?!
"If it weren't for Zhenyuan Daxian, I alone would probably have perished at your hands."
Even those who follow the path of Maitreya Buddha cannot help but feel moved.
To think that he, the dignified future Buddha, was already lagging behind the Buddha of Mount Ling, Amitabha Buddha, and Bodhi Buddha, and was later surpassed by the Demon Buddha, and now he is even no match for the Undying King Buddha!
His title of "Buddha" is inevitably somewhat shaky, and he himself feels ashamed.
This scene further agitated Maitreya Buddha, making him yearn to establish a Buddhist kingdom on earth, seize the destiny, and reach the other shore of the great realm!
"Fight!" Maitreya Buddha roared, his kind face and ever-present smile gone, his fighting spirit fierce as he clashed with Cao Ya!
However, Cao Ya's divine power was like a cloud, and with a splash of it, it shook the universe, suppressed Maitreya Buddha, and made him feel annoyed.
On the other side, Zhen Yuanzi's magic was extraordinary, with a vast universe hidden in his sleeve, which allowed him to resist another part of Cao Ya's magic power.
Zhen Yuanzi did not go all out, and Cao Ya also consciously reduced the intensity of the fighting. However, to outsiders, the clash was still fierce and terrifying!
"I really want to eat it."
In a corner of the void, a true Buddha was hidden, his eyes gleaming as he stared at Cao Ya, as well as Maitreya Buddha, Dipankara Buddha, and Moonlight Bodhisattva, his face revealing a strong appetite.
This is the Supreme True Buddha, left behind by the Buddha after attaining enlightenment. He was once sealed in Mount Ling. However, because the Demon Buddha killed everyone in Mount Ling, he could only eat the remains and could not successfully attain the other shore. He could only achieve the perfection of creation.
Therefore, what the Supreme True Buddha desires most is to devour all the great Buddhist masters, perfect his foundation, and reach the other shore!
Naturally, Cao Ya, Medicine Buddha, and other Buddhist figures are all objects of the Supreme True Buddha's covetousness!
However, even a supreme Buddha, who is also at the perfect state of creation, is not confident that he can devour the indestructible king Buddha, Dipankara Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, and the worldly king Buddha.
Targeting other legendary Bodhisattvas would easily expose their presence, reveal their whereabouts, and lead to an ambush and complete destruction of this threat to Buddhism!
Therefore, the Supreme True Buddha was extremely cautious, avoiding all eyes and ears, and waited in the shadows for an opportunity.
He felt that now was the perfect opportunity he had been waiting for!
"Whoosh." Immediately, the Supreme True Buddha emerged, infiltrating the Real World and launching a sneak attack on numerous Buddhist masters within the Great Jin Dynasty.
Regardless of which camp they belong to, as long as they belong to Buddhism, the Supreme True Buddha wants to devour them!
"What is that?" The powerful figures were surprised and suspicious. Both camps had discovered the inexplicable deaths of some Buddhist masters, whose bodies had been completely destroyed.
“It is the Supreme True Buddha!” Jiang Zhiwei’s eyes sharpened as she quickly recalled this enemy of Buddhism.
Immediately, everyone's expression changed drastically, for the name of the Supreme True Buddha was now circulating.
Who wouldn't be afraid of something related to the Buddha's attainment of enlightenment?
"Ah!!" Soon, there were more shrill screams, and Buddhist immortals, earth immortals, and celestial immortals at the Dharma Body Realm began to perish on a large scale.
Both the human race and the Maitreya Buddhism were shocked and enraged, yet they were powerless to resist.
Although the demon race and the Luo sect were not the targets of the Supreme True Buddha's devouring, they were still terrified to see their allies or enemies die so easily, their souls and bodies being eaten!
“Supreme Buddha, you should not have been born.”
Just then, an ancient Buddha appeared, clapping his hands together to shatter the void and find the Supreme True Buddha.
"Eating you first isn't bad. No matter how many Dharma Body Realm cultivators devour, it's not as useful as a single Creation Realm expert!"
The Supreme True Buddha grinned, revealing bright red teeth that appeared to be stained with blood and clumps of flesh.
"If you are the other shore of the Demon Buddha, this humble monk will turn around and leave without saying a word."
The Buddha of Worldly Freedom said calmly, "But since it is not, this humble monk has nothing to fear."
Even the most supreme Buddha, with his unique origins, has a restraining effect on Buddhist practitioners.
But what is the identity of the Buddha of Freedom in this world? He is the oldest Buddha, who has guided Amitabha Buddha, Bodhi Buddha, and the Buddha of Vulture Peak. Even though his spiritual attainment is higher, he is still a junior.
The power of the Supreme True Buddha did have some influence on him, though it wasn't negligible.
Originally, the Buddha of the Worldly Freedom did not wish to intervene in this war.
Having saved Maitreya Buddha once, and still acting in the same way, he was too lazy to save him again.
Let the various powerful forces fight it out; there are Buddhist strongmen on both sides.
But at this moment, the Supreme True Buddha's actions made the Worldly King Buddha ask himself, he could not sit idly by!
"Om." The appearance of the World-Free King Buddha is that of a young and handsome Buddha, wearing an ancient monk's robe, revealing pale golden skin, and of unknown origin.
On the person's forehead, there is a crystal "Buddha" character, which is composed of countless swastikas, radiating light. Even the void will be converted and transformed into a crystal pure land.
His face held a hint of coldness, and his gaze toward the Supreme True Buddha was icy.
"You're all alone, just bringing me food," the Supreme True Buddha said coldly.
"Try it and you'll see." With the help of the Buddha King of Freedom, a great river surged forth, and time flowed by.
His illusory path is the law of time. In the ancient times, he witnessed the enlightenment of Huang Laojun and Donghuang Taiyi, and witnessed the Daoist Master creating the path of "reducing and seeking emptiness" and finally achieving perfection and attaining the Dao fruit before departing.
In ancient and prehistoric times, we also witnessed the rise and fall of the Heavenly Emperor.
But he himself remained trapped, with no hope of reaching the other shore.
However, its combat power has improved, and it is slightly inferior to Maitreya Buddha and Dipankara Buddha.
Furthermore, because he is the oldest Buddha, and due to his great age, the supreme Buddha's restraint is less pronounced.
Therefore, when the two powerful figures clashed, they were evenly matched, and neither could gain the upper hand.
"Thump thump!!!" The two fought fiercely, shattering the void. Zen chants rose and fell, and the boundless power of Buddhism shook the mortal world.
In fact, these numerous warbands outside the realm are at least legendary, possessing the ability to reflect the heavens.
At this moment, countless beings in all realms are filled with fear, dreading the divine war of the "Immortal Realm" which could affect all heavens and destroy the universe!
As time goes by, many battles have begun to show results.
But what is most astonishing is that most powerful place, composed of three perfect creations.
"Boom." Cao Ya unleashed a torrent of energy, interwoven with the light of laws, sweeping across the heavens and the earth.
Maitreya Buddha let out a muffled groan, his golden body was broken and cracked, and he began to disintegrate!
"If you cannot reach the other shore in life, you will also perish on the other shore in death!"
Maitreya Buddha said in a deep voice, without fear, but instead burning his soul, his golden body and essence spontaneously combusting, his power doubling, in order to defeat the Indestructible King Buddha, to seek survival from the brink of death, and to find a way out!
However, Cao Ya unleashed his divine power, his magical arts possessing unparalleled might, shattering the radiant light of Maitreya Buddha and breaking his lotus throne.
"Namo Maitreya Buddha, the Savior of the World." Maitreya Buddha sighed softly, somewhat disappointed.
He survived the calamity of the ancient demon Buddha by taking the place of the Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon King, but on the eve of the final calamity, he still died at the hands of another indestructible Buddha King.
"The other shore, the other shore, the other shore... how difficult it is to reach!" Maitreya Buddha sighed slowly. With a pop, his entire golden body exploded, and his soul turned into countless fragments, scattering across the universe and all the worlds.
Cao Ya did not interfere. Maitreya Buddha was dead. Even if he had some spiritual essence and was reincarnated, he would be a new being, no longer Maitreya.
Having mastered the Samsara Seal and being proficient in the Great Way of Reincarnation, Cao Ya was certain that Maitreya Buddha had no chance of survival.
He has the ability to fight against six-star powerhouses, and has killed more than one six-star existence in both the [Sacred Ruins] universe and the [Desolate Era] universe.
Therefore, even after killing Maitreya Buddha, Cao Ya remained calm and unmoved, as the entire battle situation was not yet completely settled.
"Hoo." Cao Ya turned around, his calm gaze fixed on Zhen Yuanzi, which made Zhen Yuanzi feel extremely apprehensive!
“The might of the Buddha King is unparalleled in the world,” Zhen Yuanzi said, showing great apprehension.
To be honest, he was confident that he could defeat Maitreya Buddha, but he wasn't so sure that he could kill him.
Not to mention, this was done by the Undying Buddha while using a portion of his magic power to distract him.
It was absolutely earth-shattering, a shock to the real world!
The battlefields of Northern Zhou and Great Jin were filled with countless Dharma bodies, external realms, half-step external realms, and enlightened beings, as well as numerous legends and creations, including the Nine Netherworld Evil Gods, all of which were terrifying!
