"My life is over!" the Great Wise Monk shouted, a ruthless glint appearing in his eyes, before exploding with a loud bang.
The self-destruction of a celestial being blasted a huge hole in the Milky Way and all the laws.
However, although the Dharma body of the Great Wise Monk has perished, his spirit and true soul remain. If he is reincarnated and cultivated again, and is enlightened by his fellow disciples at Hanchan Temple, he will return to the path of immortality and attain the Dharma body once more!
But how could Cao Ya not be wary of this?
whoosh whoosh~~~
Suddenly, endless flames burst forth in the void, engulfing the Milky Way without leaving any gaps.
There is no internal conflict between water and fire; on the contrary, they benefit each other. Through the transfer of many laws, both sides become stronger!
Mutual restraint and mutual generation!
The wind howled, fueling the fire, while the divine force swept through, enough to shatter the heavens and the earth.
"Alas." The Great Wise Monk Zhenling sighed. After using the power of self-destruction to escape from the Milky Way, he had no choice but to stop in the encirclement of divine fire. Divine winds blew and divine fires burned. His Zhenling could not withstand it and finally began to dissipate.
“Cao Ya, you really are the destined calamity of my Maitreya lineage! No wonder Buddha retreated to the Pure Land, leaving the Yellow-Eyebrowed King to walk the world in his place and bear the consequences of his actions…”
The great and wise monk's spirit shook the void, uttering incomprehensible words.
Before he could finish speaking, the divine fire burned his true spirit to ashes, completely severing the great wise monk's hope of reincarnation and a second chance.
Even if the Great Wise Monk Zhenling managed to escape by chance, Cao Ya was still able to find his reincarnation and kill him with a single finger using the Reincarnation Seal.
Of course, on-site eradication is definitely safer and much more convenient.
With the fall of the Great Wise Monk, the laws of the heavens vanished, and Cao Ya raised his hand, recalling the Reincarnation Seal.
Although the Human Race Bag is not as high-ranking as the Reincarnation Seal, it does not contain any marks of important figures that would hinder it. For the time being, it can contend with the Reincarnation Seal and not be at a disadvantage.
Cao Ya had no intention of acquiring this treasure of Maitreya Buddha.
Maitreya Buddha secluded himself in the Pure Land and dared not come out, but the Yellow-Eyebrowed King, who took his place, was not subject to this restriction.
As a figure who once rivaled the Great Sage Equaling Heaven in the Journey to the West, the Yellow-Eyebrowed King possessed considerable strength, at least legendary, and he also had many magical treasures left behind by Maitreya Buddha...
If the Yellow-Eyebrowed King were to actually appear, Cao Ya knew he would be no match for him!
Whew~~~
The human-shaped bag moved automatically without wind, shrinking into a tiny dot that merged into the void. With a sudden leap, it disappeared completely.
Upon seeing this, Cao Ya held the Reincarnation Seal in his palm and pondered for a moment.
The only saving grace was that the world in the Middle Ages had already undergone significant changes. Although it was slightly better than later times, it still did not allow legendary figures to roam the world.
If the Yellow-Eyebrowed King did not want to die, he would not dare to step out of the Cold Cicada Temple in his true form and forcibly roam the real world.
At most, he can create a clone, carrying a magical artifact to attack.
With that in mind, Cao Ya wasn't so worried anymore.
As for Maitreya Buddha...
"Ah, I have quite a bit of knowledge about the death calamity that the Great Wise Monk spoke of before his death."
"The Overlord Celestial Immortal has reached the pinnacle. If he were to become a legend, completely break free from Ananda's control, it would arouse Ananda's fear, lead to a scheme to control the world, and summon heroes to besiege and kill him. The Overlord would perish, most of the saints would also die, and it would cause the ancient Dharma bodies to wither away, and the world would fall into silence."
"However, this calamity is relatively easy for Hanchan Temple to overcome and is not fatal."
"The key lies in the next major calamity!"
"Because of the matter of the Overlord, Ananda completely lost heart and fell into demonic ways due to his obsession. When the Demon Buddha was born, he forcibly ascended to the other shore and swept across all the heavens and myriad worlds. Countless worlds collapsed because of the Demon Buddha, and countless legendary and powerful beings were killed by the Demon Buddha."
"The Demon Buddha is a demon of destruction, adhering to the ideal of annihilation. He not only wants to destroy Buddhas, but also to exterminate all the heavens and myriad worlds!"
"The closer we get to the end of the world, the stronger the Demon Buddha becomes!"
"But that's a matter for the future. The calamity of the Demon Buddha at the end of the Middle Ages has nothing to do with me!"
Cao Ya was quite disappointed. With the birth of the Demon Buddha, how come he couldn't defeat Maitreya Buddha?
Of course, he also knew that Maitreya Buddha had a special identity and great power. He was the future Buddha of Buddhism and the product of Amitabha Buddha's subtraction and emptiness.
Such a powerful being, having received guidance from Amitabha Buddha, could naturally avoid the calamity of death caused by the demon Buddha and live into the next life.
Unless the Demon Buddha is given more years to destroy more realms, making the smell of destruction more intense and the final calamity arrives ahead of time, then the Demon Buddha will become even more powerful, reaching the most ancient level, no less than Amitabha Buddha. A mere Maitreya Buddha would naturally be easily crushed by him.
Even Amitabha Buddha would find it difficult to contend with the demon Buddha in the final calamity!
However, when Buddha intervened, he was invincible in one move. The demon Buddha was defeated and sealed by Buddha and Yuanshi Tianzun, but he could no longer unleash the cataclysmic disaster.
Moreover, the Demon Buddha is destined to destroy the world, which is vastly different from Cao Ya's ideals.
He himself was someone the Demon Buddha wished he could kill as soon as possible.
Therefore, with the emergence of the Demon Buddha, it's uncertain whether Maitreya Buddha will live or die, but he will definitely be doomed!
"I still have to rely on myself. Trying to rely on others is just nonsense." Cao Ya muttered to himself, put away the Reincarnation Seal, left the place, and headed to Chunyangzi's mausoleum.
The power of a Celestial Immortal at its peak may seem formidable, but compared to the great supernatural beings at the Creation Realm and even the Other Shore Realm, what are Celestial Immortals, let alone legends?

In the void, there is a pure land, a boundless Buddhist kingdom with countless believers, all chanting the name of Maitreya Buddha and praising his great compassion and perseverance.
At the heart of the Buddhist kingdom lies a pure land of white lotuses, imbued with profound Zen wisdom and a sense of great liberation.
Upon closer inspection, a faint demonic aura can be seen permeating the Buddhist atmosphere.
In the magnificent and luxurious ancient temple, the Arhats and Bodhisattvas finished chanting sutras, closed their eyes, and seemed to have wandered off to some unknown world.
At the head of the main hall of the ancient temple, there is a nine-tiered white lotus platform, on which lies a golden Buddha with a swollen belly, a benevolent smile, and a fat head and big ears.
Suddenly, a small crack appeared in the void of the Pure Land, and the Human Seed Bag flew out and landed automatically in the Buddha's hand.
The Buddha took the old bag, his expression changed slightly, his smile dimmed, and there was a hint of gloom in it.
“Cao Ya, Ba Wang, Ananda… if Da Zhi’s prediction before his death is correct… this matter is of great importance, and I cannot make a decision on my own; I must consult the Buddha.”
The Buddha ignored the Arhats and Bodhisattvas who were wandering in the heavens, climbed up from the lotus platform, and leaped into the depths of the void. He had already shrunk his golden body and was no longer the fat-headed Buddha. Instead, he transformed into a yellow-browed novice monk, with lowered eyes and meek demeanor, and disappeared into the void of the Pure Land.
He wasn't actually Maitreya Buddha, but the Yellow-Eyebrowed King!
King Yellow Eyebrows, carrying a bag of human beings, muttered incantations. Suddenly, a burst of brilliant light, imbued with Buddhist intent, enveloped him. Then, with another leap, he found himself in an illusory river, devoid of up, down, left, right, past, or future.
King Yellow Eyebrows, holding the bag of human seeds, took a deep breath and continued chanting the name of Maitreya Buddha.
Buzz...
Boundless Buddha light shone everywhere, carrying a perfect, flawless, pure, and peaceful aura, instantly enveloping King Yellow Eyebrows and taking him to a magical world that was a thousand times more perfect than the previous Pure Land!
A giant Buddha with a perpetual smile sits gazing at the lotus pond before him, seemingly admiring the beautiful scenery or perhaps observing the grand path ahead.
"Buddha, I have important news to report." King Yellow Eyebrows bowed his head and knelt down after taking two steps forward.
