The heavens began from a small hell

Due to past arrangements and games, Gu Xiaosang devoured and refined Maitreya Buddha, a product of Amitabha Buddha's subtraction and emptiness, and thus became a product of Amitabha Buddha's subtraction and emptiness.

With the connection between Su and Meng, the Celestial Venerable of Morality would certainly not prevent Gu Xiaosang from reaching the other shore, even though she is the successor to her rivals, the Golden Emperor and Amitabha Buddha.

If He were to harm Gu Xiaosang, not only would Amitabha Buddha not stand idly by, but Su Meng might also be permanently suppressed, preventing him from achieving the initial form of the Dao Fruit, thus hindering the completion of Yuanshi Tianzun's subtraction and pursuit of emptiness.

The Three Pure Ones are a trinity. Yuanshi Tianzun's attempt to reduce and empty himself was incomplete, and Daode Tianzun was also unable to transcend and successfully attain the Dao fruit.

Because of Amitabha Buddha, Bodhi Buddha will not prevent Gu Xiaosang from escaping her suffering. As for the Green Emperor…

He already owes karmic debts to 'Su Meng' and the Golden Emperor, and will help Gu Xiaosang when necessary.

As for the Demon Emperor, there's no need to elaborate. Because of the attack on the Demon Emperor's Palace by the Demon Buddha Ananda, no matter what He thought, He couldn't interfere in this matter.

The Heavenly Emperor, who had recently taken over the body of the other shore being controlled by Amitabha Buddha, had a conflict of interest with the Golden Emperor, so he simply stood by and did nothing.

Even the Demon Buddha...

They also openly cooperate with Jinhuang.

The skillful and resourceful Golden Emperor has tirelessly created the current situation, ensuring that none of the other shore beings become Gu Xiaosang's external calamity.

Boom!

As Gu Xiaosang reached the other shore, the destruction caused by the final calamity swept across all the heavens. The remaining part of the Nine Netherworld surged and expanded, seemingly about to engulf all worlds and drag everything in the heavens into final destruction.

After disappearing for some time, the Demon Buddha reappeared and headed straight for the Jade Void Palace, which was located at an infinitely high altitude. Judging from his attitude, he was determined to kill 'Su Meng' today so that he could achieve true perfection.

Because of Su Meng's influence, even if He refined the remaining part of the Nine Netherworld, He could not restore it to the rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit. So He simply did not enter the Nine Netherworld again, but instead relied on His own final Dao Fruit to match the timing of Heaven, and His true combat power was higher than His own realm.

Among all those who have transcended the mortal realm, only the Demon Buddha and the long-absent Lingbao Tianzun are centered around the concept of 'ending'. If Lingbao Tianzun were to return and receive the blessing of the final calamity, he would be the truly strongest being from beyond the mortal realm. If he were to also possess the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, it would truly fulfill the words Lingbao Tianzun uttered countless years ago—

In the final tribulation, I will be the supreme one.

All those on the other shore were well aware of this, and naturally did not want to see Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun return. If one were to ask who among the people on the other shore hated the two the most, it would undoubtedly be the Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Emperor of yesteryear was living peacefully at the highest level of the Nine Heavens when Ananda deliberately revealed that the highest level of the Nine Heavens held the opportunity to attain the Dao.

Upon learning of this, the Other Shore could not remain silent. The Primordial Celestial Venerable immediately led a group of Other Shores to storm the highest level of the Nine Heavens, where they beat and killed the Heavenly Emperor who was blocking their way.

This is the origin of the later 'fall from heaven' incident.

The Heavenly Emperor's true nature and spiritual light sacrificed his body and Dao fruit to refine himself into the Other Shore Divine Weapon, the Time Blade, with his true nature and spiritual light hidden deep within the blade, barely clinging to life.

This naturally did not escape the notice of the other shore. Considering that the Heavenly Emperor was the symbol of the continuation of the era, the fall of the Heavenly Emperor would inevitably lead to the premature end of the era. Therefore, no one finished off the Heavenly Emperor.

After Yuanshi Tianzun and the others saw the secret hidden by the Heavenly Emperor at the highest level of the Nine Heavens, Yuanshi Tianzun said, "The matter of the Dao Fruit does not depend on external things" and then drifted away. The Buddha of Mount Ling had a different opinion and decided to give it a try.

As a result, it became a pseudo-Dao Fruit, not only heavily restricted with only one chance to act for a long time, but also stuck in a limbo, unable to fall in realm on its own.

The Heavenly Emperor still cannot forget the indifferent, condescending gaze of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. This innate being seemed to look down upon every acquired being equally.

If the Three Pure Ones hadn't initially failed to understand that their trinity was a different manifestation of the Dao, there wouldn't be any other beings on the other shore in this world... After all, the other beings on the other shore were born during the infighting among the Three Pure Ones, as they supported post-natal beings in their search for allies to escape the sea of ​​suffering.

Now, at the end of the era, when the Primordial Celestial Venerable and the Spirit Treasure Celestial Venerable, who had disappeared for countless ages, were about to return, the Heavenly Emperor, who hated the Primordial Celestial Venerable the most, burned the body and Dao Fruit of the Fuhuang he possessed, and with one hand, he lifted the Jianmu tree that supported the heavens and the earth and smashed it down on the coordinates that the two Celestial Venerables used for their return.

One is the world of Investiture of the Gods, and the other is the world of Journey to the West.

Both worlds are part of the Real World, formed by Yuanshi Tianzun or Lingbao Tianzun opening the root of time and extracting relevant historical evolutions from the Real World. They contain their last traces, which is why they were able to sacrifice both worlds for their return.

As for the original inhabitants of both worlds...

Heaven doesn't care.

As the Heavenly Emperor made his move, Amitabha Buddha met the Moral Celestial Venerable. Their Dharma bodies, Manifestation bodies, and Reward bodies filled every moment of the river of time, surging towards the root of time, before the birth of the first era.

Only the oldest beings like them could reach this place. Although they were both in the nascent stage of the Dao Fruit, the ancient beings only reached the primordial era at the beginning of the first era, and could not reach the time period in which the two beings existed.

This place is a battlefield for only the two of them.

At this moment, Lin Yang also began to act with the demon Buddha Ananda who had stormed the Jade Void Palace. Their back-and-forth exchange looked quite convincing.

Because the Demon Saint Feng Xi was dealt with in advance, she didn't have a role in this part of the story. Therefore, Lin Yang wouldn't appear to be in a passive position because he was tricked by the Demon Buddha Ananda, as in the novel.

The script that the Golden Emperor gave him was to persevere, not to be easily killed by Ananda, nor to easily kill Ananda, because the demon Buddha Ananda's apparent strength was almost the same as that of 'Yuanshi Tianzun Su Meng', who had achieved the perfection of One Qi Transformation into Three Pure Ones and possessed three weak incarnations of the Other Shore.

The Azure Emperor, who originally intended to help 'Su Meng', was ambushed by the Demon Buddha Ananda and was unable to intervene in the battle for a time. The Fusang Ancient Tree, which he had been unable to refine for a long time, was also controlled by Ananda and used to suppress 'Su Meng'.

The Fusang Ancient Tree was grown by watering the blood of the Jade Emperor and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the Green Emperor was conceived from it. That is why Ananda was able to plot against the Green Emperor at this moment and control the Fusang Ancient Tree, which even the Green Emperor could not control.

Bodhi Buddha, who was cooperating with Ananda, was also restrained and unable to break free. Two of his three corpses, Zhunti Daoist and Xuanming Ghost Emperor, were turned against him by Ananda, who was good at tempting people to fall, and were given independent consciousness.

Zhunti Daoist, who wanted to become an independent being, and Xuanming Ghost Emperor, who held the other three corpse incarnation of Bodhi Ancient Buddha, Black Heaven Emperor, hostage and formed an array with their own survival as a threat, so as not to give Bodhi Ancient Buddha a chance to intervene in the current situation.

The three corpses of Bodhi Ancient Buddha are all at the pinnacle of creation, and theoretically they are no match for Bodhi Ancient Buddha, who is only at the nascent stage of the Dao Fruit. However, the incarnations of the three corpses involve Bodhi Ancient Buddha's unique method of subtraction and seeking emptiness, so he cannot use force, otherwise it would affect his own path of cultivation.

"You little rascal, Ananda, you've been holding back."

Seemingly helpless, but actually not wanting to pay any attention to the outside world, Bodhi Buddha cursed inwardly.

His practice of reducing and seeking emptiness was to allow the three corpses to gain independent consciousness, so that they could bear their own karma and imprints. He had been thinking about how to make the three corpses gain independent consciousness, but Ananda had actually done it.

It has to be said that this is truly a case of specialization.

However, Ananda had a trick up his sleeve, allowing only two of the three corpses to gain independent consciousness. The Black Emperor remained in his original form, and Bodhi Buddha's attempt to reduce and seek emptiness could not be perfected, leaving him with no hope of attaining enlightenment in this era.

"Ananda, Ananda..."

The ancient Bodhi Buddha gazed intently at the battle outside Jade Void Palace.
