"Isn't this a bit too risky?" Seven Kill Daoist frowned again.
Out of gratitude, he certainly didn't want to see the Undying Buddha die.
Cao Ya smiled and said, "Since we've all come to the Nine Netherworlds, how can we not have a fight?"
Cao Ya then added, "Of course, as you know, that's not the main reason!"
"The Nine Netherworlds are a vast world on par with the Immortal Realm, boundless and beyond, at the level of the Other Shore—unfortunately, they lack independent intelligence, existing only in an instinct—if I could personally experience the Great Dao authority of this plane, its help to me would be no less than measuring the heavens and earth!"
Seven Killings Daoist nodded slowly. Since the Undying Buddha had made his decision, he would not offer any further advice.
Who among the great masters who have reached the pinnacle of their creation has not had a resolute will?
“Alright, as you said, leave the Blood Demon and the Black Emperor to me!” Seven Kill Daoist said, also reminding, “Be careful! This is the Nine Netherworld, not the Real World or the Heavens.”
“If the Xuanming Ghost Emperor and the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable were outside, even if they joined forces, they would not be your match.”
"But since the battle is taking place in the Nine Netherworlds, we must be cautious. Two pseudo-Other Shores are not easy to deal with!"
Cao Ya nodded. How could he dare to be careless when he was a peak six-star expert?
In fact, Cao Ya himself lacked the ability to confront the pseudo-other side.
Even the most perfect outcome is still just a product of fate; the other side, even if it has the word "false," is still tainted by the essence of the other shore.
These are two completely different worlds! As different as clouds and mud!
Cao Ya's reliance is the Reincarnation Seal! It has already recovered to the pseudo-Other Shore level, and has even touched the gate to the Other Shore!
With the aid of peerless divine weapons and their own formidable combat strength, they were able to contend with the two strongest opponents and experience the ultimate Nine Netherworld Dao!
"Xuanming Ghost Emperor, Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable, do you dare to fight?" Cao Ya said loudly, a large seal appeared in his palm, and the Dao of Reincarnation flowed down.
"How arrogant is the Undying Buddha! Do you think this is the real world?" Xuanming Ghost Emperor sneered.
Before he could react, the already agitated Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable, stimulated by this, finally couldn't hold back any longer. Ignoring all threats, he roared and charged out!
However, the Xuanming Ghost Emperor was still somewhat hesitant, still concerned about the Seven Killings Daoist.
But the Seven Killings Daoist's next move dispelled his hesitation.
"Black Emperor, Blood Demon, you should refrain from interfering." Seven Kill Daoist spoke, waving the Nether Sea Sword, unleashing boundless sword light that enveloped these two extraordinary beings.
The Black Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The Undying Buddha, what great confidence you have!"
He clearly guessed that the Seven Killings Daoist's actions were based on the advice of the Undying Buddha.
Otherwise, given the Seven Killings Daoist's temperament, having saved his life and possessing the Nether Sea Sword, he wouldn't have only come to entangle him and the Blood Demon!
"This is the Nine Netherworld. The Undying Buddha is too arrogant; I fear there will be calamity." Blood Demon felt a trace of worry and couldn't help but warn.
The Blood Demon is Yang Jian, and naturally he doesn't want to see the Undying Buddha suffer a great calamity in the Nine Netherworlds!
Immediately, seemingly realizing that his words were too obvious and could easily expose his identity, Blood Demon shook his head and said, "For a ruthless character like the Undying Buddha to dare to make such a suggestion, he probably has other plans in mind."
"The Xuanming Ghost Emperor and the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable should be treated with even greater caution."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Blood Demon made his move, and a river of blood stretched across the sky, gushing forth with a pungent smell.
"We'll wait and see," the Black Emperor chuckled.
"Bang!!" Although he made his move, his demonic energy surged like a vast ocean, but in reality, like the Blood Demon, he did not actually intend to join forces to kill the Seven Kill Daoist.
The Seven Killings Daoist's abilities are no less than theirs, and with the Nether Sea Sword, fighting two against one is no problem!
The Black Emperor's true form—Bodhi Ancient Buddha—is not revealed, so he cannot defeat the Seven Killings Daoist!
However, the Black Emperor clearly had no intention of revealing his secrets. Even though the end times were coming and there would inevitably come a day when he could no longer keep it a secret, he certainly did not want to leak the secret so early.
The Blood Demon, standing nearby, shared the same idea: every extra day they could keep it a secret was a day better than nothing!
In the future, this identity will be of great use and can enable one to achieve extraordinary feats!
"Boom..." Then, the Seven Killings Daoist, wielding the Nether Sea Sword, unleashed a sharp sword light, clashing with the vast ocean of demonic energy and the surging waves of blood, sparking a divine battle that shook the Nine Netherworlds and shocked the entire region!
"What happened?" Countless demons, even those in the legendary realm and a few who had broken through to the creation realm, were startled and fled in panic, daring not to approach!
"Why are the Seven Killings Daoist, the Black Heavenly Emperor, and the Blood Demon suddenly fighting?"
The demons from all directions were bewildered and in a state of complete confusion.
"Haha, thank you both!" Xuanming Ghost Emperor laughed loudly, then suddenly flew out, just like Jiuluan Tianzun, rushing towards Cao Ya!
He manifested his Dharma form, tall and majestic, dressed in imperial robes, exuding unparalleled majesty.
In the distance, a phantom river appears, without beginning or end, flowing towards billions of years in the future.
Countless beings struggle within the river of time. Even those few who reach the Creation Realm only have a clear perception but cannot transcend it and reach the other shore.
Many demons watched, and fear arose in their hearts.
"Immortal Buddha, you are very strong in the outside world, but you are ultimately not on the other shore!"
"Even if your past was in the real world, since you've ventured deep into the Nine Netherworlds and spent some time there..."
"Hehe, having cut off a period of your previous existence, you are now completely defeated!"
The Xuanming Ghost Emperor laughed loudly, and a burst of green energy erupted, transforming into a giant hand that reached into the past to erase Cao Ya's old self!
In this respect, the actions of the Xuanming Ghost Emperor are far more terrifying than those of the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable!
"Roar!!!" The Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable roared madly, and the chaotic laws filled this layer of the Nine Netherworld, occupying the past. Countless demons seemed to be twisted, and their faces showed a look of madness.
Upon witnessing this scene, the evil spirits and deities on the other floors felt their hands and feet turn ice cold.
As expected of the pseudo-Other Shore, its supernatural powers are unimaginable!
The aftershocks of the battle alone were enough to destroy the heavens and the earth and wipe out all living beings in a region!
"Buzz." However, facing the terrifying divine powers of Xuanming Ghost Emperor and Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable, Cao Ya was not flustered at all. He raised his palm, and the Samsara Seal burst forth with faint light.
In an instant, he was also covered by the Cycle of Reincarnation and remained unaffected.
"Peerless divine weapon!" The Xuanming Ghost Emperor's face darkened, and he spoke each word with deliberation.
“Without this treasure, I wouldn’t dare to start a war with you in the Nine Netherworld,” Cao Ya said calmly.
The Reincarnation Seal is a divine weapon of the Other Shore level, which has been revived to near its peak.
Protecting his past is not a big problem.
Unless a fully realized being from the other shore intervenes, the protection of the Samsara Seal cannot be broken!
However, the Xuanming Ghost Emperor and the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable were only aiming for the perfection of creation. They relied on the help of the Nine Netherworlds to achieve the pseudo-Other Shore. How could they possibly break through the defenses of the peerless divine weapon!
Even without Jiuyou, Cao Ya alone could have suppressed them!
If the Samsara Seal were to fully awaken, it would be no exaggeration to say that one seal could subdue the two pseudo-Other Shores without Cao Ya needing to use any special moves!
"Heh, if the Samsara Seal is fully awakened, then the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable and I will have no choice but to retreat."
"Given the current situation, if the two of us join forces, we still have a chance to kill you! And if we take away the Reincarnation Seal, your remains will become resources for us to become stronger!"
The Xuanming Ghost Emperor said coldly, "We are still attacking Cao Ya in the past, which involves the power of the Reincarnation Seal."
At this juncture, a vast expanse of green light surges forth, capable of causing the universe to fall.
"Ah!!" Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable roared, his eyes glazed over, devoid of any lucidity, knowing only slaughter!
Chaotic laws surged from his body, along with the true meaning of destruction, constantly assaulting him!
The Nine Netherworlds on this level are all being influenced by the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable and are about to fall into eternal madness!
"Buzz." Various laws converged on Cao Ya's body, forming a vast ocean that flowed down like a torrent.
At the same time, there is also a Niwan Palace world suspended outside Cao Ya's body, blocking the demonic intent of the Nine Netherworlds!
His divine sense enveloped the ten directions, sensing the Daoist teachings of the two pseudo-other shores!
"Rumble..." The sky collapsed and the earth cracked; this plane was almost completely shattered!
If it weren't for the fact that the Nine Netherworld's essence is no less than that of the Other Shore, it would probably be destroyed in this attack!
In other dimensions, the Seven Killings Daoist, the Blood Demon, and the Black Heavenly Emperor, who were currently engaged in battle, couldn't help but turn their attention.
"The Undying Buddha can actually hold off the Xuanming Ghost Emperor and the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable in the Nine Netherworlds?!"
All three were somewhat surprised. The terror of the pseudo-other shore was something they understood all the more because they were also part of it!
"It seems that the Undying Buddha has truly reached the limit of the Creation Realm. No wonder he had to walk across the Nine Netherworlds. He wanted to understand the heavens and the earth in order to comprehend the essence of the universe."
The Black Emperor was astonished. If his true form—Bodhi Ancient Buddha—and another of his three corpses—Zhunti Daoist—did not show themselves, he alone would not be able to defeat the Undying King Buddha.
"This...it seems that Grandmaster's last words did not mention this..."
Blood Demon thought to himself, his eyes flickering slightly. Many of his actions were guided by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
However, even the oldest ones can only trace back to the past, to the very beginning of creation, and cannot fully grasp the future!
As time flows on, accidents are nothing out of the ordinary.
No matter how powerful you are, as long as you haven't achieved enlightenment, you would never dare to boast that your plans are foolproof!
Moreover, as things stand, the Undying Buddha is a hero of the human race and has no conflict with the Jade Void Palace.
"If I use the Nether Sea Sword, can I defeat King Buddha in the Nine Netherworld?"
Seven Kill Daoist pondered for a long time, then shook his head.
He had absolutely no confidence whatsoever!
In the current situation, although the Buddha of Indestructible King is a rising star, he is actually closer to the other shore realm!
At least, Daoist Qisha believed that even if he measured the entire universe, traveled through the vast starry sky, and ventured deep into the Immortal Realm, he would have no hope of reaching the other shore!
"Boom!" Of course, the Seven Killings Daoist would not fight Cao Ya. The Nether Sea Sword splashed out dark light, entangled the Black Heaven Emperor and the Blood Demon, and also exchanged blows, but only briefly and did not fight with real force.
All three focused their attention on the fierce battle taking place on that floor, observing from their own perspectives.
"Terrible!" The evil gods from different realms sensed the tremors in the Nine Netherworld and were all filled with terror.
Even a legendary demon would die instantly if faced directly!
"Run!" The demons trembled in fear, fleeing far away. If it weren't for the fact that the Nine Netherworld was their lair, a place that even the heroes of the real world feared, they would have considered escaping the Nine Netherworld and seeking refuge elsewhere!
Within the real world, countless experts, even those at the Dharma Body Realm, sensed this commotion!
"What happened in the Nine Netherworld? Such a huge commotion, it's like those pseudo-Other Shores are fighting?"
The divine senses of the powerful beings surged, scanning the Nine Netherworlds, and they were immediately stunned.
"The Indestructible Buddha!!"
They were greatly surprised. How did this human king suddenly end up in the Nine Netherworld?
But soon, they also realized and understood the reason behind the actions of the Immortal Buddha.
Immediately, some people exclaimed in admiration, feeling inferior to the Buddha, and thought that it was no wonder that he could reach the perfection of creation so quickly. His understanding of cultivation surpassed that of others!
Some scoffed, arguing that while many have tried to emulate the Buddha's teachings throughout the ages, only one Buddha from Mount Ling has succeeded.
If this is the way to go, one can break through the barriers to the other shore and achieve perfect fortune. So why have we been stuck for hundreds of millions of years and unable to break through?
But no matter what they thought, Cao Ya continued to follow her own path and reaped the rewards.
“Death…destruction…so that’s how it is…” Cao Ya pondered. He fought against the Xuanming Ghost Emperor and the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable. He was able to resist with the help of the Reincarnation Seal. He was also moved and made progress in the rules of death and destruction.
Although these two paths were not his fundamental principles, they allowed him to draw parallels and make new progress in the cycle of reincarnation.
Furthermore, the next time they enter the system space and share it with other versions of themselves, such as Cao Ya from the universes of [Panlong] and [Sacred Ruins], their cultivation might greatly improve, and they might all break through to the six-star level.
"Rumble!!!" Divine light of various colors rose up, filling the sky and illuminating the nine netherworlds, causing all directions to submit.
This battle lasted a long time, but Cao Ya never fell.
Later, even the Xuanming Ghost Emperor lost his focus and noticed Cao Ya's improvement in the rules of death and destruction, causing his eyes to twitch violently!
"Damn it, you're deliberately trying to trick us, aren't you? We're not fighting anymore!"
Xuanming Ghost Emperor suddenly retreated. With his pseudo-other shore supernatural power, even if he couldn't defeat Cao Ya, it wouldn't be a problem for him to leave the battlefield.
He had no intention of becoming the means by which the Undying King Buddha attained enlightenment.
"Immortal Buddha, if you want to stay in the Nine Netherworlds, so be it. Just don't come looking for trouble with us. Otherwise, you'll be fine, but the human race... hey, besides you, who else has reached the pinnacle of creation?"
The Xuanming Ghost Emperor's voice was full of threat.
"Whoosh!" He vanished in an instant, traversing the void, and returned to his dojo.
Without the Xuanming Ghost Emperor, only the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable remained. Even in his madness, he could feel the taste of death and became much more sober.
With a "whoosh," the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable also retreated immediately.
Cao Ya flipped his hand, and the Reincarnation Seal disappeared into the Niwan Palace world.
“The Xuanming Ghost Emperor…” Cao Ya’s eyes darkened, but he shook his head. He was not yet able to kill the Xuanming Ghost Emperor in the Nine Netherworld! Even advancing further to the Pseudo-Other Shore level was impossible! Only someone from the Other Shore could do it!
However, the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable, as an evil god born from the Nine Netherworlds in response to the impending calamity, has a very special symbolic representation!
If he can regain his senses, the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable will have a great chance to attain enlightenment at the moment when the calamity is at its most intense, using the principles of the destruction of all heavens!
"But it seems that the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable has absolutely no hope of possessing reason."
"Alas, what a pity! Such a golden opportunity to reach the other shore has been wasted! Who wouldn't be heartbroken to see such a perfect destiny unfold?"
Cao Yadu sighed deeply. The Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable was born from chaos and destruction, and he would also perish because of chaos and destruction!
At this moment, the Seven Killings Daoist, the Black Heaven Emperor, and the Blood Demon in the distance also stopped fighting and took a look from afar.
The two then seemed hesitant and returned to the temple.
The Seven Killings Daoist nodded, merged with the Nether Sea Sword, and vanished into the depths of nothingness, leaving only a streak of light.
"Bodhi Buddha, Yang Jian..."
