"Mother, please make your move," Cao Ya replied calmly.
Their attitude was also clearly revealed.
Seeing this, the Eternal Mother's deep eyes looked down, sweeping across the Nine Netherworlds.
"Ah!!" Countless demons vanished into ashes in an instant before the gaze of the other shore.
Even those legendary demons trembled in fear, facing the might of the other side of heaven as if they were mere ants.
Only those in the Creation Realm are slightly better off. With the blessing of the Nine Netherworlds, they break through their realms one after another, either reaching the Creation Perfection or going even further, directly entering the realm of the Pseudo-Other Shore!
"This is the Nine Netherworld! The Nine Netherworld, a paradise for demons! In the Primordial Era, the Ancient Era, and the Prehistoric Era, even those who had transcended the other shore would not dare to act so recklessly here!"
Xuanming Ghost Emperor, Asura Ancestor, and others couldn't help but shout!
"Roar!!" The Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable's expression twisted, yet he directly attacked the Eternal Mother. However, the holy deity merely flicked her wrist, instantly injuring the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable.
If it weren't for the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable, who was in the Nine Netherworlds and was already a pseudo-other shore, able to control his own timeline, then under this palm strike, the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable, who was only at the peak of creation, would have his soul scattered!
The Nine Chaos Celestial Venerable cried out, but was captured by the Other Shore One and fell into the deepest part of the Nine Netherworld, unable to escape!
Moved by this, Xuanming Ghost Emperor, Asura Ancestor, and others held their breath, forgetting all about their reputation in the Nine Netherworlds!
Only a fool would make a move! So what if it's a pseudo-Otherworldly being? In front of a true Otherworldly being, it's utterly weak!
However, they were also suddenly surprised to see that the Black Emperor and the Blood Demon made their moves one after the other!
"Huh???" The group of demonic bosses also widened their eyes in surprise.
Because the Black Emperor didn't stop the Eternal Mother, but instead attacked the Undying Buddha directly.
The Nine Nether Blood Demon targeted neither the Eternal Mother nor the Indestructible Buddha, nor the Primordial Emperor…
He actually stopped the Black Emperor?!
"Yang Jian, do you want to be my enemy?" The Black Emperor's eyes were cold, and boundless black energy surged forth.
"The ancient Buddha has excellent eyesight, he actually recognized me... In order to disguise myself, in ancient times I really risked losing control and swallowed the remains of the Heavenly Slaughter Daoist!" The Blood Demon laughed loudly, and a vast and mighty blood-red river stretched across the Nine Netherworlds, blocking the Black Heaven Emperor.
However, the words of these two people shocked Jiu You and countless experts in the real world!
How did Yang Jian... Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun, Erlang Shen Yang Jian, become a blood demon??
Furthermore, the "ancient Buddha" mentioned by Yang Jian... could it be the Bodhi Ancient Buddha? Wasn't the Black Emperor born in the Nine Netherworlds in ancient times, inheriting the essence of time and negativity? How did he become the Bodhi Ancient Buddha?
At this moment, even the immortals of Jade Void, the Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas of Buddhism were astonished.
"So, Erlang has been alive all along and did not perish in the great calamity at the end of ancient times." Master Yuding said excitedly.
Guangcheng Tianzun, Daoxing Xianzun, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, Nezha, Xiaotianquan, and others were also delighted.
After all, during the great calamities of ancient and medieval times, far too many disciples of the Chan Sect perished!
What about the lineage of those from the other shore? It's already remarkable that they could survive the calamity inflicted by those from the other shore. How could they possibly all survive? This applies to Jade Void Palace, as well as Biyou Palace, Tushita Palace, Great Thunder Temple, and so on.
"That Black Emperor, could he be one of the three corpses of the ancient Buddha Bodhi?!" Within the Buddhist sect, various legendary figures and experts at the Creation Realm suddenly stood up, watching intently, and couldn't help but speculate.
Who doesn't know that the ancient Buddha Bodhi sought to sever the three corpses and attain enlightenment!
The widely circulated story is that of the Daoist Zhunti, one of the three corpses of the ancient Buddha Bodhi, who has now blocked the Demon Emperor's Palace!
In Buddhism, there are only four true beings who have attained the other shore: Amitabha Buddha, Bodhi Buddha, Tathagata Buddha, and Mara Buddha. Other beings such as the Holy Buddha are actually other beings who have entered the Buddhist path in pursuit of a higher realm. It is an attempt, but they cannot be considered true Buddhist masters.
The Buddha has transcended, and the Mara Buddha is the sworn enemy of Buddhism. Therefore, all that remains are Amitabha Buddha and Bodhi Buddha.
How could Buddhists not study the paths taken by these two giants?
Who doesn't yearn to reach the other shore of enlightenment?
"They hid it so well!" The heroes, whether they could accept it or not, had to believe the fact that Yang Jian had transformed into the Blood Demon and the Black Emperor had become one of the three corpses of the Bodhi Ancient Buddha, and they couldn't help but sigh.
The great saints and lesser saints of the demon race, the powerful figures of the human race, the outstanding talents of the heretical sects, as well as the Taoists, Buddhas, immortals, and gods, all sighed in dismay. Compared with such a great figure, their methods were still not enough!
"Black Heavenly Emperor, Blood Demon, and Mother, as long as you defeat the Undying Buddha and destroy the Overlord's Blade, the Four Swords of Immortal Slaughter, and the Reincarnation Seal, you can enter the Nine Netherworlds and suppress the Yuan Emperor and his wife!" The Luo Sect's divine envoy whispered, still holding strong faith in the Unborn Mother.
Because the Eternal Mother is not an ordinary being from the other shore, but an ancient being!
"Yang Jian, even if we're here, we can't determine a winner. Why don't we just watch the fight?" The Black Emperor made a few moves, but they were all blocked by the Blood River, so he simply gave up.
After all, this body is only one of the three corpses, with a realm of perfect creation. In the Nine Netherworlds, it is comparable to the pseudo-Other Shore, but it is not as powerful as the original body and the other three corpses. It is impossible for it to defeat "Blood Demon" Yang Jian.
In ancient times, Yang Jian, like Sun Wukong, was one of the most promising beings to reach the other shore!
Even without the intervention of the Buddha Bodhi and the Daoist Zhunti, it would be difficult to suppress Yang Jian.
Moreover, although he and Amitabha Buddha have formed a temporary alliance with the Eternal Mother, it would be a joke to say that their relationship is particularly good.
Who knows, when the end times come, they might turn against us.
Therefore, there is no need to completely break ties with other factions for the sake of the Eternal Mother.
For Yang Jian, the Black Emperor stopping was exactly what he wanted.
Ultimately, the other party's true nature had already reached the other shore realm.
The Daoist Zhunti blocked the entrance to the Demon Emperor's Palace, but the Ancient Buddha Bodhi still did not make a move.
It should be known that when Yuanshi Tianzun entered Buddhism and transformed into a holy Buddha, it was Bodhi Ancient Buddha who guided him!
“The ancient Buddha has spoken, so naturally I have no objection,” Yang Jian said with a hearty laugh.
"It seems you think that with just those three people and a few peerless divine weapons, and by taking advantage of the Nine Netherworld terrain, you can stop a being from the Other Shore," the Black Emperor chuckled.
“Although the Old Mother is powerful, the Nine Netherworlds should not be destroyed yet. Therefore, there is still room for maneuver,” Yang Jian said.
When the universe truly collapses, the Nine Netherworld will also perish. But before that happens, for the sake of the universe's integrity and to create an opportunity to nourish the oldest beings and advance to the Dao Fruit Realm, this Great Realm of the Nine Netherworld must not be destroyed.
Yang Jian knew very well that the Eternal Mother was not content with reaching the other shore and was willing to wait for many eras to slowly "reduce and seek emptiness" before seeking the opportunity to attain the Dao Fruit... She also longed to attain the Dao Fruit in this life and emulate the Dao Venerable!
With such thoughts in mind, how could the Eternal Mother have truly destroyed the Nine Netherworlds ahead of time?
Of course, the assistance of the six peerless divine weapons is also crucial.
The sect leader, Meng Qi, and Sun Wukong, like him, are all at the pinnacle of their cultivation and have mastered the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts." They can change their paths and become powerful demons in the Nine Netherworlds. They can receive assistance and reach the pseudo-other shore, where they can also unleash the power of peerless divine weapons to the greatest extent!
Besides, the strength of the Undying Buddha... Uncle-Master Xuanjie is also unfathomable!
"Buzz".
"Blood Demon" Yang Jian and the Black Emperor confronted each other in the Nine Netherworld, guarding against a sudden attack from the other. At the same time, they also used their divine sense to observe another peak battlefield!
Yang Jian, a wisp of his soul was reincarnated and entered Shaolin Temple. He was Meng Qi's junior brother and Cao Ya's junior nephew.
He and Sun Wukong developed a mutual respect for each other.
"Hey!" Sun Wukong roared. The black demonic ape, with four arms, held the four immortal swords of Zhulu and Xianjue. It also had unparalleled ferocity. It stepped into time and cleaved through the years!
"Fight!!" Meng Qi was even more flustered, unleashing the might of the Overlord's Blade, which shook the heavens!
Their historical timeline, through the power of the pseudo-other shore, has been brought to a close, and will not be traced back to its past by the Eternal Mother, who will crush them in their weakest moments.
Several peerless divine weapons also possess this ability.
Otherwise, how could a demonic pseudo-other shore be qualified to roam freely in the Nine Netherworlds, fearless of the giants of the universe?
"Bang." The white lotuses falling from the sky were all neutralized by the sword energy and saber energy emitted by the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and the Emperor Yuan, and failed to achieve any effect.
"Huh?" Suddenly, the Eternal Mother was surprised.
With a whoosh, a river of time suddenly appeared as the Eternal Mother's slender hand swept across the surface.
Faintly, one can still see scenes from the Middle Ages and the Ancient Times, depicting the heroes of the Eight Desolations and Six Directions.
Among them were many of their own!
However, Sun Wukong, Meng Qi, and even Yang Jian and Gu Xiaosang in that world are merely imprints that maintain history; they are not true beings. Even if they are extinguished by the Eternal Mother, it will be of no use. The universe revolves, the timeline remains stable, and the same imprints will reappear the next second.
Similarly, there are also imprints of important figures such as the Overlord, the Demon Lord, the Heavenly Killer Taoist, and the Demon Saint.
But in the end, throughout the ages, in the time after the birth of the indestructible Buddha Xuanjie, that person seems to have continued to exist as usual.
"Oh no!" Qi Zhengyan, the Jade Void Immortals, Meng Qi, Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and others all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
"Buddha, you are too foolish," the Eternal Mother sighed softly.
The next second, her jade hand pressed down, and the "mystic rings" at each node collapsed.
But then, those "mysterious rings" reappeared.
"Hmm?" The Eternal Mother was unusually taken aback.
Even the most powerful figures from all directions were at a loss.
“Mother, I am different every moment. My thoughts, ideas, power, and the Great Dao are all changing. In fact, the me in those historical moments are no different from the imprints.” Cao Ya laughed.
His magical power can sever the past at any moment; this is a characteristic of the Immortal King in the [Eternal] Universe, and it is very peculiar!
Although the existence of the Gate of Immortality prevents the seven-star Immortal Kings there from transcending time and remaining in the world forever, many of their supernatural powers are still incredible.
"Excellent technique!" praised the Eternal Mother.
It was obvious that after careful observation, she had discerned Cao Ya's extraordinary abilities.
Others, though slow to realize it, also discerned it and were immediately captivated.
"Could this also be considered a characteristic of the Other Shore? Moreover, it must be of great use in dealing with the annihilation of those on the Other Shore, and in ascending to the Other Shore!"
The legends and good fortune surrounding it are something everyone is envious of.
Those with great supernatural powers, especially those who have reached the pinnacle of their creative abilities, dream of obtaining it!
"Impressive!" Even the Black Emperor praised, supporting himself with his hand. This Undying Buddha was undoubtedly the fifth being in Buddhism to have the potential to reach the Other Shore Realm. The Supreme True Buddha was too special to be included in this calculation.
“Uncle-Master Xuanjie…” Yang Jian smiled, recalling his days at Shaolin Temple, and felt nostalgic.
"Haha, you're something else, Buddha!" Sun Wukong laughed, wielding the Four Swords of Zhuxian, pointing them towards the heavens!
"Husband, just how many trump cards does your martial uncle have?" Gu Xiaosang, who was inside the Overlord Blade, was also taken aback.
It should be noted that as the beacon of the Eternal Mother, she is equivalent to an alternative reincarnation of the One Who Reaches the Other Shore, possessing the memories of the One Who Reaches the Other Shore, and her vision and knowledge are exactly the same.
Even so, the situation of the indestructible Buddha remains a great mystery.
"I don't know! No one but myself knows what my master's backup plan is!" Meng Qi said.
"It seems our way out has appeared," Gu Xiaosang chuckled.
Meng Qi was also overjoyed, and the Overlord Blade became even more ferocious!
"Clang." Cao Ya flicked his finger, and the Samsara Seal spun, unleashing a torrent of Samsara power.
Furthermore, various profound mysteries have been bestowed upon it, making it no less powerful than those on the other side.
Although the Unborn Mother is ancient, she is still superior to the One on the other shore.
But with Sun Wukong and Meng Qi as his helpers, Cao Ya remained calm and composed.
The Eternal Mother's several attempts to take Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang away were all thwarted!
Just as the Unborn Mother was about to return empty-handed, a great black river suddenly appeared, seemingly covering the real world, making it visible to countless living beings.
"Black Emperor?"
"True Martial Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable?"
Taoists, Buddhists, demons, monsters, and humans were all astonished. The ancient Heavenly Court Black Emperor, who had vanished for countless ages, and Zhenwu, one of the nine Daoist deities, had actually broken through his realm at this moment, attempting to ascend to the other shore?!
The Celestial Venerable of Morality, Amitabha Buddha, Bodhi Ancient Buddha, Demon Emperor, Azure Emperor, Eternal Mother, and the Demon Buddha beneath Mount Ling all gazed around with indifferent expressions, as if they had some guesses.
Many other shores are locked in a standoff, with no free time, yet this is not the best opportunity.
The only one who was free was the Azure Emperor, who was also a friend of the Black Emperor. Why would he stop him?
"A brilliant plan!" The Black Emperor suddenly chuckled and said, "But how could achieving the other shore be so easy?"
Yang Jian gazed into the distance, his eyes deep, and said, "True Martial Heavenly Venerable, I'm afraid you're in a hurry."
"He can wait until the next era."
The Black Emperor shook his head and said, "The next era? What if Meng Qi fails to inherit the karma of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable? Without this 'cause of all effects' and 'master of creation,' how can there be a new era?"
"Furthermore, the Black Emperor was once a disciple of the Daoist Master. Who knows how many secrets he possesses?"
“Once he reached the other shore, he surpassed the Azure Emperor and others, and went straight into the ancient realm, which is not surprising.”
"Who would want such an unexpected variable to appear at such a critical moment as the end times?"
Yang Jian raised an eyebrow and said, "The other beings from the other shore have not yet returned, or they have perished. Who can stop the Black Emperor?"
"Moreover, the Azure Emperor has the time, but the Headmaster and the Eternal Mother have both been kind to him, so he can't help either of them and can only sit idly by. But the Black Emperor, who is a friend from the past... even a cultivator of the Other Shore, a cultivator with perfected creation, or even a pseudo-Other Shore cultivator, can't stop the Black Emperor!"
The Black Emperor slowly said, "If achieving the other shore were so simple, how could Yang Jian, Sun Wukong, and the former Heavenly Slaughter Daoist have been trapped for countless years? Even the Azure Emperor had to struggle through countless eras in the mortal world before finally achieving it!"
"Unless it is an ancient being, the oldest being, who is the object of the subtraction and emptiness, and has borne the cause and effect, then there will be no obstacles, and he can attain enlightenment relatively easily."
"But the Black Emperor is clearly not someone like Meng Qi or Donghuang Taiyi."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's expression also turned serious.
In the distance, Sun Wukong, Meng Qi, and Gu Xiaosang only diverted some of their attention to the Black Emperor's attainment of enlightenment; most of their attention remained focused on the Eternal Mother.
Honestly, they did hope that the Black Emperor could achieve the other shore.
But these things never change according to anyone's wishes!
At that very moment, another long river of time surged forth, illuminating the real world!
"Hmm? Even the Buddha, who is not evil, must reach the other shore?"
