Cao Ya glanced around, his eyes darting about. He saw the Monkey King's golden cudgel, its golden light dazzling, its Dao faintly visible, stuck in the center of a giant pit, towering into the sacred mountain, connecting heaven and earth, like an ancient divine mountain.
All that's left is the Golden Cudgel; the Monkey King, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, is nowhere to be seen.
Not far from the golden cudgel is a heavy, solid, and not very high mountain peak, which looks just like a five-fingered hand!
Cao Ya knew that was the place where the Demon Buddha was sealed, and it had many similarities with the Five Finger Mountain where the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was sealed in the past.
This unusual "Five Finger Mountain" is quite unique. Instead of mantras and sutras, the top is a tree branch that shimmers with seven-colored light, exudes Buddhist energy, and wisps of supreme aura flow down, which is awe-inspiring.
The wondrous Bodhi tree!
Legend has it that this was the Buddha's peerless divine weapon, used to suppress the demon Buddha when the Buddha was defeated in the Middle Ages.
Cao Ya looked up and saw that the Bodhi tree branch was crystal clear, with nine branches, some withered and some flourishing, some illusory and some real, full of the charm of great purity, great wisdom, great light, great freedom and great bliss.
This Bodhi tree branch is stuck on the summit of "Five Finger Mountain," its light appearing and disappearing intermittently, as if flowing water is watering the seal.
The demon Buddha's distraction was located between the "Five Finger Mountain" and the golden cudgel, exuding an indifferent aura and concealing evil intent, wearing a dark gold cassock that exposed one shoulder.
What can appear outside is naturally a divided spirit. The true form of the Demon Buddha, as well as most of its power, are still sealed and suppressed by the Buddha and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
One of them was an incomplete Dao Fruit Realm cultivator, and the other was the oldest being. Although the Demon Buddha was strong, he could never defeat them.
It would be tough enough to handle just one person!
Cao Ya scanned Mount Ling again. All the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats were dead, and the powerful demons also died one after another. Both Buddhas and demons perished, and death permeated the air, sweeping across the heavens and the earth.
Although Cao Ya knew that under the golden cudgel, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven fought desperately, winning a space for survival for some of the demon race's Great Sages and Lesser Sages.
However, Ananda's scheme back then led to Feng Xi, the Demon Saint who had become the Demon Saint of the Other Shore, leading the demon race to besiege Mount Ling. In the eyes of the Demon Saint and the other powerful demons, with Ananda and the great and lesser saints of the demon race on Mount Ling as spies, they could coordinate an attack from the inside and outside, gaining the upper hand and having a backup plan. Ananda was so cunning that both sides believed he was their spy. The demon race was confident in attacking Mount Ling, and the Buddhist Mount Ling was even more confident in annihilating the demon race. However, no one expected that at the most critical moment, Ananda would betray them, not only betraying Mount Ling but also betraying the demon race.
He simultaneously harmed both the demon race and Mount Ling, leading to the terrifying scene of ten thousand Buddhas falling and ten thousand demons being annihilated.
Such a great calamity would deter even those on the other side from lingering.
There were far too many powerful beings and legendary figures who died at that time!
You must understand that at that time, the Heavenly Court had already fallen, many beings from the other shore had disappeared, and because the Fire Emperor Feng Xi ascended to the other shore and became a Demon Saint, it was an era belonging to the demon race, an era in which demons wreaked havoc on the land!
On the other hand, because the Buddha of Mount Ling had just transcended, his prestige was at its peak, and Mount Ling also dominated the universe.
Simply put, the demon race and Mount Ling were the most powerful forces in the universe at that time, and even the lineages of other beings from the other side were inferior to them.
One can imagine how many big shots are in the leadership of these two super powers that dominate the world.
Their fallen resentment and deathly aura, when combined, are enough to pose a threat to those on the other side!
However, the other shore was incredibly powerful, and the demon saint eventually escaped. From then on, he relentlessly pursued Ananda until the death!
There is also a death order within the demon race: hunt down any human martial artist who has cultivated the "Ananda Breaking the Precepts Blade"!
Meng Qi suffered a lot because of this order.
In fact, Meng Qi and the Demon Buddha Ananda were natural enemies, and their relationship was one of irreconcilable conflict.
The infamous fall of Mount Ling, which shook the ages, saw the vast majority of powerful beings perish on the mountain, except for Ananda, who had foreseen the event, and the only other being, the Demon Saint.
Instant death!
Although they also knew that at the critical moment, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, seemed to sacrifice himself and hold up the sky.
However, they dared not linger long on Mount Ling, where ten thousand Buddhas had fallen and ten thousand demons had perished, and they had no idea whether the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's actions had succeeded or not.
Ananda later fell into depravity due to his obsession and became a demon Buddha, and he cared even less about it.
Although the Demon Saint cared, she had no way to resolve the situation and could only wait. Later, various changes occurred, and she even appeared to pass away, transforming into the Demon Saint Spear.
When the Demon Saint passed away, the era of the demon race was gradually coming to an end, and the era of the human race was beginning to arrive!
In truth, we should thank the Demon Buddha Ananda, who was ruthless and cunning, and who secretly plotted to destroy Mount Ling and the demon race, thus giving our human race the opportunity to rise again...
Cao Ya's mind raced.
After the great event of Mount Ling's fall, Mount Ling was destroyed, Buddhism was damaged, and its powerful figures were reduced to ashes. As for the demon race, it was even more severely damaged, with only a few powerful figures left. The Demon Saint, who suppressed the foundation of the other shore, was driven by anger, hatred, and guilt towards the demon race, and relentlessly pursued Ananda. However, Ananda, relying on the peerless divine weapon of the other shore level, the Reincarnation Seal, stepped into the mysterious cycle of reincarnation and escaped the Demon Saint's pursuit.
During this period, the Human Emperor rose to power, forged a sword on the Dragon Platform, and used it to slay gods, demons, and monsters, leading the human race to survive through hardship.
In the end, the Human Emperor successfully reached the other shore, able to confront the Demon Saint. Only then did the human race achieve its great and powerful status.
Later, both the Human Emperor and the Demon Saint, the two beings of the Other Shore, passed away one after another for some reason, completely unlike what one would expect of a being of the Other Shore.
The Human Emperor, for the sake of humanity, modified the Heavenly Dao and altered the rules of the universe, thus passing away peacefully.
As for the Demon Saint, he only appeared to have passed away peacefully.
However, the secret of the Demon Saint's demise is a top secret in the universe, known only to the Demon Emperor and the Demon Saint, and including Cao Ya, there are only three.
Since it concerns the Demon Emperor's quest for emptiness, how could he possibly make a big fuss and let others know the secret of the Demon Saint's death?
For example, the Demon Buddha in front of him always believed that the Demon Saint Feng Xi had passed away like a human emperor.
As a result, in the medieval era, Ananda always felt guilty and remorseful towards the demon saint Feng Xi, which caused Ananda's strength to decline instead of increase. Even when dealing with a legendary overlord, he needed to plan and lure others into the game.
It wasn't until Ananda's good thoughts vanished and evil thoughts arose, that he completely fell into demonic possession and transformed into a demonic Buddha, that he was able to ascend back to the other shore. He was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the first incarnation of the Jade Emperor in the ancient era, becoming a strong figure among those who had reached the other shore. Moreover, due to the nature of the path, demonic thoughts filled the wilderness, and the desire for destruction permeated his mind and body, triggering the cataclysmic calamity at the end of the Middle Ages!
Countless hidden big shots have died at the hands of the Demon Buddha.
All parties involved suffered severe damage.
Moreover, after the Middle Ages, the world underwent another great change, and even the appearance of the Dharma Body became extremely difficult.
If the end of the world had not been approaching and the world had not changed, where would so many Earth Immortals and Human Immortals be in the present real world?
