"Come at me all at once," the Demon Buddha said indifferently. Even though the power of his divided spirit was far from strong, he was still fearless and not afraid that Cao Ya, a celestial being, would ruin his plans.
The methods of those on the other shore are beyond the comprehension of even celestial beings.
If it weren't for the fact that Meng Qi possessed the two peerless divine weapons, the Overlord's Blade and the Human Emperor's Sword, to protect him, he would have devoured Meng Qi long ago, directly merged with him, and then escaped, becoming the only otherworldly being in this era. He would have traversed countless worlds, overturned the dojos of many otherworldly beings, shattered their plans, and destroyed their schemes.
Spatial distance is essentially negligible in the face of unparalleled divine weapons.
No matter how many worlds are separated, nothing can stop the arrival of an unparalleled divine weapon in an instant!
The Demon Buddha himself is the Other Shore; how could he not know the characteristics of the Other Shore level?!
“Demon Buddha, let us witness the power of the Other Shore Ones, even if it’s just a very incomplete version,” Cao Ya said with a grin.
"You'll see," the Demon Buddha said calmly, without showing any anger, as if he felt that a celestial being, without any powerful backing, was not worth his anger.
They're nothing but ants!
Let alone celestial beings, even legends and creation are but ants before the other shore. Only pseudo-other shores and weak other shores possess a certain power to resist.
Only the true being of the other shore can fight against another being of the other shore!
but--
The demonic Buddha before them was not the true form. Although it possessed the essence of the other shore, its power was far less terrifying.
Otherwise, what's the point of Meng Qi resisting? He might as well just commit suicide!
"Whoosh!" Meng Qi drew his sword, took a deep breath, and exhaled, causing the wind and thunder to roar and reverberate across the heavens.
Just then, Meng Qi suddenly roared:
"I will not dwell on the past in this life!"
Before the words were finished, the longsword was suddenly swung out, and a hazy, ethereal purple blade light appeared in the sky, extremely illusory, as if it had come from the spiritual world, the mysterious world, to the material world, the real world, making everything seem unreal.
The blade's light pierced through the void, illuminating the starry sea and revealing ethereal, unique lines invisible to the naked eye.
These lines fill the sky, seemingly a condensation of countless nebulae, yet interspersed with many colors.
The purple lightning longsword neither moved forward nor backward, neither high nor low, but inexplicably rose. One by one, those special lines disappeared, leaving only a few in the end, all of which were the connections between Meng Qi and the Demon Buddha at the summit of Mount Ling!
Cao Ya knew that it was the thread of cause and effect.
Meng Qi's strike severed the cause and effect!
Only by severing the entanglement of cause and effect can Meng Qi truly break free from the control of the Demon Buddha and the other Lords of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Otherwise, under the law of cause and effect, even Bodhisattvas and Buddhas would have to be afraid!
As he swung the Overlord's Blade, Meng Qi raised the Human Emperor Sword in his left hand. Its pale golden divine light shone brilliantly, seemingly filling the heavens and exuding the aura of a human emperor, shaking the firmament.
This divine sword, forged by the Human Emperor, laid the foundation for the great prosperity of the human race. It can be said to be the clan's guardian artifact. It has now recognized Gao Lan as its master and has been lent to Meng Qi.
Cao Ya saw that the front of the Human Emperor Sword was engraved with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and so on. On the back of the sword, there were images of immortals and demons bowing down and the demon race crawling. On the hilt, there were inscriptions about farming, fishing, herding, and all aspects of human life!
Human Emperor!
The Emperor's Sword!
Cao Ya's heart stirred, and she let out a soft sigh.
How could such an outstanding human leader as the Human Emperor have died?
Those on the other shore...
A cold glint flashed in Cao Ya's eyes.
And it was at this moment—
"I have no desire for an afterlife in this life!" Meng Qi roared, and the Human Emperor Sword slashed out fiercely.
As the Emperor's Sword struck, countless illusory rivers emerged, and all sorts of scenes appeared within them. Meng Qi's figure rose and fell, one after another, as if he had captured all the possibilities of the future.
Dominate the future!
But at that moment, all those Meng Qi—peddlers, commoners, kings and generals, talented scholars and beautiful women, slaves and livestock—all these illusory Meng Qi in the river of illusion suddenly smiled inexplicably, their faces carrying a demonic aura, and red and black swastikas appearing in their eyes.
"Meng Qi, past, present, and future, you will all be under my control!" On the other side, the Demon Buddha laughed, his dark gold kasaya fluttering without wind, a deep evil aura beginning to spread and invade all directions.
Meng Qi remained silent, his sword cleaving and striking. All the illusory rivers were shattered under the Emperor's sword, and the futures occupied by the Demon Buddha also exploded, turning into a rain of light and dissipating.
The Demon Buddha, however, did not take it to heart and was not annoyed.
"Ha, Meng Qi, do you think you can get rid of me like this? I have to say, you're too naive." The Demon Buddha shook his head, a hint of contempt in his voice.
Even if he is sealed, even if it is only a wisp of his spirit, his methods are beyond Meng Qi's imagination!
The will of Heaven has always been a difficult question to fathom!
[The Supreme Being] Throughout the universe and countless eras, those on the other shore have always been high above. Even though the Dao Venerable created the Dao Fruit Realm, his splendor on the other shore is in no way diminished.
As soon as the Demon Buddha had a thought, the illusory river reappeared, and the futures that the Demon Buddha had occupied were revealed once again.
The numerous Meng Qi figures, exuding a chilling demonic aura, all gazed at the real Meng Qi, who was wielding a sword and a knife. Their smiles were indifferent as they lifted their feet and took a step, seemingly attempting to forcibly cross the illusory river of time, merge into Meng Qi's body, and become one with him.
The Emperor's Sword glowed, its golden light dazzling, severing time and blocking the arrival of Meng Qi.
But after they disappeared, they immediately reappeared, rushing back with reckless abandon, determined to merge with Meng Qi!
Sudden--
"Looks like I've been underestimated," Cao Ya laughed, his hands forming a fist seal, the Great Dao sweeping forth, the laws surging, he himself being unique in all realms!
There was no trace of "other self" around him, only the infinitely obvious true meaning of "true self"!
At this moment, his "true self" was incredibly strong! Infinitely intense!
This is the road to his legend!
Boom...
The Milky Way is vast, its laws spread, and the Great Dao has severed the illusory river of time, as well as severing cause and effect, making this place seem like a vacuum between heaven and earth, standing alone outside the myriad realms of the universe.
The future that the demonic Buddhas had occupied, without its support, naturally dissipated, leaving only a face full of resentment and hatred as they stared at Cao Ya.
Cao Ya didn't even raise an eyebrow.
Even the Demon Buddha was surprised by this sight and glanced at Cao Ya.
"Your path of legend is indeed unique, quite different from the paths of legend of others," the Demon Buddha said, a wicked smile suddenly appearing on his face.
"I have to admit, Cao Ya, you've exceeded my expectations."
"But Cao Ya, you're underestimating me too!"
"Is the other shore really as simple as you think?"
With a flick of his finger, the Demon Buddha caused the Samsara Seal to spin and churn across the heavens and earth, revealing every aspect of himself to Cao Ya and Meng Qi.
Suddenly, their eyes lit up as a series of images flashed before their eyes, consuming all their vision.
