Not to mention those Lords of the Six Paths of Reincarnation or other important figures who are paying attention to Mount Ling.
The Demon Buddha's split-body attack, almost its strongest, crashed down, shattering the starry sea. Cao Ya was extremely solemn.
"Amitabha Buddha, the sea of suffering is boundless, and there is no shore to turn back to. Let this humble monk help you to be liberated." The Demon Buddha stood calmly on the summit of Mount Ling, his right hand outstretched, holding it flat. Immeasurable light burst forth from it, reaching everywhere, welcoming all laws, carrying the flavor of great purity, great freedom, and great liberation.
Against this backdrop of radiance, the Demon Buddha appeared both sacred and serene.
However, when the Demon Buddha gazed at Meng Qi, the demonic intent in his eyes was uncontrollable and extremely intense.
Cao Ya was serious. This time, he directly charged forward to meet the attack. He formed countless hand seals and unleashed beams of divine light, causing the void to tremble. Endless sword light splashed out, all landing on the densely packed "Meng Qi".
These "Meng Qi" look exactly like the real Meng Qi, but they are filled with demonic intent and have red and black swastikas in their eyes. They have been controlled by the Demon Buddha and have become his projections.
"Cao Ya, you are stubbornly clinging to your delusions. As the saying goes, life is full of suffering, and the world is a sea of bitterness. Who can escape it? Since you cannot escape it, you might as well be liberated! Amitabha." The demonic Buddha chanted the Buddha's name, and countless figures appeared around him, pressing forward.
The different versions of "Buddha's Palm" and "Buddha's Reversed Palm" were projected out, their power and wonder were breathtaking.
Even the great sun, obscured by planets, was affected, suddenly becoming illusory and disappearing without a trace, as if extinguished, like a dream or a bubble.
The people around them were stunned to see a section of the once brilliant starry sky suddenly go dark. They were horrified and wondered what kind of trouble this would cause.
"Uncle-Master Xuanjie, let me handle this!" Meng Qi said in a deep voice. His Dharma body was about to be condensed, and he held a peerless divine weapon in his hand. He felt that he could hold out for a while.
"No need," Cao Ya waved his hand and said, "Breaking through to the Dharma Body is your top priority. Only then will this battle truly be over."
"Simply fighting against the Demon Buddha won't free you from him; only after achieving the Dharma Body will you have a chance!"
Don't put the cart before the horse!
As he spoke, Cao Ya activated a large number of laws, which intertwined and enveloped this area, isolating it from the outside world, as if even time, space, yin and yang were to be blocked from the outside.
The demonic Buddha projections with red and black swastikas in their eyes became much more illusory in an instant, and the various "Buddha's Palm" and "Buddha's Reverse Palm" techniques they unleashed also lost their power, as they were blocked by Cao Ya.
Upon seeing this, the Demon Buddha's expression changed, and his face darkened.
Cao Ya breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the current Demon Buddha was just a wisp of a soul. Although it possessed the essence of the other shore, the power it displayed was still within a comprehensible range and did not exceed imagination.
He at least possessed some legendary characteristics and was a Celestial Immortal in cultivation, making him a powerful figure in his own right.
Moreover, much of Cao Ya's strength comes from other cultivation systems.
Among those cultivation systems, there are many that can stand alongside the martial arts system of the "Peerless Supreme" universe.
Just as Cao Ya blocked the Demon Buddha's attack, Meng Qi's journey to attain the Dharma Body also reached its final step.
Whoosh!
The Overlord's Blade severed the past, the Human Emperor's Sword blocked the future, and Meng Qi only retained the present.
At this moment, his primordial spirit, physical body, and dharma form completely overlapped. An unnamed fire burned within him, and he felt crystal clear, yet he did not feel any discomfort. Instead, he felt an unprecedented ease and freedom.
"Cao Ya, you've ruined my plans!" The Demon Buddha stared at Cao Ya with a distracted expression, all his emotions vanished, leaving only indifference and a hidden killing intent.
"There's nothing we can do. With the emergence of the Demon Buddha, our Buddhist Dharma Body is likely facing a great calamity," Cao Ya said with a smile.
At this point, Meng Qi's Dharma body had solidified, and the Demon Buddha's escape was now like a flower in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water—it could still be seen, but it was absolutely impossible to obtain.
After a few more breaths, Meng Qi's Dharma body was fully formed, and it became even more invisible!
Because of the legacy left by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, Meng Qi comprehended the [Dao Yi Seal] during his time in the Outer Realm, which became the prototype of the "cause of all fruits" and further developed some characteristics of the other shore. One day, when he attains the Dharma Body, one can almost imagine what a terrifying scene it will be!
Regardless of the era, the Dharma body is different from that of an immortal!
Even the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation dares not act in front of his external Dharma body when trying to recruit people.
The secrets of all realms and the great mysteries of the heavens can only be gradually known after one has attained the Dharma Body stage, and only after one has heard the legends can one personally participate in them.
Cao Ya felt that Su Wuming had accumulated profound knowledge through the Haotian Mirror and when he attained the Dharma Body, he possessed some legendary characteristics. Therefore, as a human immortal, he was directly comparable to an earth immortal. Meng Qi, who possessed some characteristics of the other shore, was probably even more outstanding than Su Wuming!
Furthermore, Cao Ya hadn't forgotten that Meng Qi still possessed two peerless divine weapons!
The Emperor's Sword was borrowed, but the Overlord's Blade had truly recognized its master.
"If you can't have it, destroy it!" the Demon Buddha said indifferently. He activated some hidden trick, and threads of cause and effect forcibly entangled Meng Qi. Countless figures appeared, roaring madly with despair, trying to drag him down to hell.
"The past is gone, vanished like smoke! The future will not affect me!"
Meng Qi swung his Overlord Blade down, lightning and thunder illuminating the starry sky. The illusory lines of cause and effect snapped with a crack.
Then he cleaved down the Emperor's Sword, his imperial aura surging and boiling, engulfing the heavens, protecting himself and isolating him from the intrusion of the past and the future.
At the same time, Cao Ya helped Meng Qi again, pointing out with a finger and unleashing a burst of sword light.
Sizzle!!
The sword beams pierced through the heavens, colliding with the demon Buddha's divided spirit, causing chaos and destruction throughout the entire sky.
In an instant, the stars beyond the realm trembled, almost with the power to destroy the world.
After all, it was a divided spirit, and its methods were limited. When dealing with Meng Qi, it relied on many backup plans and special connections to attack Meng Qi from both the past and the future. However, when dealing with Cao Ya, it did not have this connection or those backup plans. Naturally, the Demon Buddha's methods were greatly limited.
Moreover, Cao Ya is a celestial being with legendary characteristics and possesses considerable mysterious power. Even the Demon Buddha's divided spirit cannot directly erase his existence.
If even a demigod possesses such power, capable of annihilating celestial beings at will, then what's the point of the Demon Buddha creating the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
Wouldn't it be better to simply distract the enemy and stir up trouble to eventually break free of the seal?
And there's no need to worry about any pieces slipping out of control!
This shows that the power of the demon Buddha's divided spirit was not actually that great.
Even though the seals of Buddha and Yuanshi Tianzun have loosened somewhat with the arrival of the final calamity, the restrictions on the Demon Buddha can never be truly relaxed.
They all attached great importance to this being from the other side.
Just then—
Boom!
Meng Qi stood tall between heaven and earth, and a figure stepped out. Dressed as a Taoist, he exuded a magical aura, surrounded by various strange phenomena. The scene was hazy, illusory, and chaotic, making it clear to anyone who saw him that he was extraordinary.
Dharmakaya!
