From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

The battlefield where the Great Extinction Tathagata fought against the Demon Emperor was the boundary between the Earthly Immortal Realm and the Material Universe.

Without the power of a great supernatural being, even an emperor of the upper realm would need to spend decades traveling to the Earthly Immortal Realm or reaching the material universe.

However, the Great Extinction Tathagata has been deeply rooted in the Immortal Realm for over ten thousand years and is a senior master of great supernatural powers. Even if his magical power and Buddhist teachings are only slightly inferior to those of the Supreme Being Wutian, he has his own methods.

He spread his hands, and another Great Extinction Wheel appeared before him, spinning endlessly and creating an extremely dark void tunnel that led directly to the Netherworld at the bottom of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

According to the tacit understanding between the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling before the Great Calamity began, the Netherworld corresponding to the Six Paths of Reincarnation is located at the bottom of Xiniu Hezhou, while the Netherworld Kingdom of Mount Tai is located at the bottom of Dongsheng Shenzhou.

In fact, after that great calamity years ago, the Heavenly Court had already proactively shrunk its sphere of influence and given up the struggle for dominance over the Netherworld.

Although the existence of Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun and Douzhan Shengfo, as well as the possible presence of Dihuang Daoshen, prevented Damie Tathagata from rushing to invade the Taishan Underworld Kingdom, he had already made arrangements in the surrounding area.

This void tunnel is one of the results of the Great Extinction Tathagata's preparations over thousands of years, and it is enough to directly teleport his main body to the Underworld Kingdom of Mount Tai.

This was originally a last resort, but with the intervention of a powerful stranger, even the Great Destruction Tathagata had no choice but to resort to it.

He had barely taken half a step when he sensed an extremely terrifying aura lurking within the tunnel, concealed yet poised to strike, posing a formidable threat.

This kind of attitude, which goes straight for the life and death of the Great Dao, as if it will not stop until one side perishes, is something that even the Great Extinction Tathagata has not seen for many years.

When he fought the Demon Emperor just now, although the two seemed to be evenly matched, they actually left themselves a lot of room for maneuver and did not really reach the point of fighting to the death.

But now this adversary, who has been lurking until now, has clearly made up his mind to wager the Great Extinction Tathagata on the Great Dao of Immortality, and to completely determine the winner of life and death!
The Buddha's face grew even more majestic and solemn. He clasped his hands together, lowered his brows, and said in a deep voice:
"Da Mie has one question: since you have made up your mind, why do you need to conceal your identity? How many people like you can be found in the Three Realms and Six Paths?"

As soon as the Great Extinction Tathagata finished speaking, a loud laugh came from the end of the void tunnel, stirring up a continuous ripple in the void, rolling and surging without end.

Furthermore, a burning ambition runs through it all, as if it pierces through the past and present, reaches into the future, sweeps away all ages, and dominates the world, surpassing the long river of time!
Upon hearing this voice, the Great Extinction Tathagata became even more certain of his guess—such spirit could not have been cultivated by those reclusive, extraordinary, and aloof immortals.

This unfamiliar, powerful being must have had an extremely remarkable life experience, and may even have, like myself, come from an ordinary background and cultivated to become one!

But the more certain Da Mie was of this, the more puzzled he became.

Such a person could never be unknown; he must be a great ruler, an unparalleled hero. How come I've never heard of him before?
The thought that this person might be connected with the True Martial Emperor gave Da Mie Tathagata a guess.

—Could it be that this person, like the True Martial Emperor, is a former emperor of the Heavenly Court who returned from the Outer Heavens beyond the Chaos Ocean?

So, how many others like them exist? How many have returned to their former lives, and where are they hiding?

In an instant, the Great Extinction Tathagata made many connections, and his gaze became increasingly cautious.

Unexpectedly, the figure that finally appeared before him was an utterly unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar one.

This man was dressed in a green robe, with a jade belt around his waist and a silver crown on his head. Although he was handsome and dashing, his every move exuded boundless domineering power, enough to overturn heaven and earth and overturn the universe.

The Great Extinction Tathagata was an extremely powerful being. With a mere thought, he realized the origin of this person. His gaze sharpened, yet a certain understanding dawned on him, and he said in a deep voice:

"So, you are the one who descended to the mortal realm in your avatar to stop Wutian's scheme!"

The Great Extinction Tathagata certainly knew that Wutian had begun to manage the ancestral star ten thousand years ago, and with the help of the Primordial Demon Ancestor and the Heavenly Demon system, he had planted countless hidden agents.

Unexpectedly, at the moment of final harvest, the situation was disrupted by a cultivator who suddenly appeared. This fellow was only a True Immortal, but his divine will was extremely terrifying. Even the Primordial Demon Ancestor's spiritual consciousness was broken by him.

Left with no other choice, the Demon Ancestor Wutian could only send a portion of his spiritual consciousness down to the mortal realm, combining it with the many Arhat Dharma images on the ancestral star and the boundless demonic power accumulated by the Heavenly Demon Star over ten thousand years, attempting to use this power to sweep away all obstacles.

However, this invincible power, capable of sweeping across the ancestral star, was still taken away by the suddenly appearing Ping Tian Sect Leader and disappeared without a trace.

This incident can be said to be the greatest setback Wutian has faced since the passing of all the Buddhas of Mount Ling. Even if the Great Extinction Tathagata were to remain indifferent to worldly affairs, he would still have to pay attention to this person.

The two of them had also exchanged views and concluded that this Pingtian Sect Leader must be a hidden hand of some powerful being, waiting for Wutian to make his move so that he could restore order.

Wu Tian never stopped calculating over the past twenty years, but he still couldn't figure out who was behind it all, which shows how powerful this great master was.

Upon seeing Xu Xing's appearance, Da Mie realized that the one who had caused the trouble was not just a pawn, but this man's distraction. No wonder, no wonder.

While the great destruction was clear, even more questions arose.

He was deeply shocked as he looked at the magnificent spiritual light that covered Xu Xing's body, totaling 129,600, constantly pulsating, and each with a different shape and aura.

—What kind of spiritual practice is this?!

Xu Xing had actually arrived outside the Underworld Kingdom of Mount Tai long ago, and was only a hair's breadth away from this mysterious void realm.

However, he did not rush in. Instead, he stayed there, waiting for the enemy to attack, preparing to besiege the stronghold and attack the reinforcements.

Upon seeing the Great Extinction Tathagata arrive, he naturally showed no courtesy whatsoever. He took a step forward, raised his foot, and unleashed a punch, pushing the realm of "shattering the vacuum" to its extreme. He pulverized the infinite void into dust and struck the Great Extinction Tathagata on the forehead!
Even with the level of the Great Extinction Tathagata, he could not perceive the process of the punch's force and its path. It was as if from the moment the other person made the move to the moment he was hit, it was all in the same instant, without any gap.

The instant this punch landed, the void tunnel that the Great Extinction Tathagata had meticulously maintained for over ten thousand years suddenly collapsed, forming an effect similar to a super gravity well in the material universe. It also unleashed a destructive force that caused the earth, water, fire, and wind to collapse simultaneously, and the universe to crumble!

There were absolutely no fancy tricks involved, only a consistent fist intent and pure power that was incredibly fierce! The Great Extinction Tathagata had fought the Demon Emperor once before, and was currently in his prime, so he was naturally not afraid of this kind of clash. He clasped his hands together, and his Buddhist power condensed into a Brahma wheel.

At this moment, the Brahma Wheel stopped turning and instead fell from the sky like a giant star, trying to suppress all changes in the void and seal Xu Xing's physical body and martial arts.

He had already experienced a similar path of cultivation in the battle with the Demon Emperor. This move was not intended to injure the enemy, but to stop Xu Xing's offensive and cause his body to be overwhelmed and injure itself.

The Great Extinction Tathagata understood that this path of cultivation based on the physical body, or rather, matter, must have its limits. These limits are not the limits of the cultivators, but rather the limits of the material universe.

Without a doubt, the Demon Emperor has already reached this limit, so Xu Xing, as a powerhouse of the same level, even if he is stronger, will not exceed it by much.

However, Xu Xing had already pushed the realm of "shattering the vacuum" to an unprecedented level, comparable only to the first person in all ages, the Eternal Emperor.

The Great Extinction Tathagata was completely wrong to use the Demon Emperor's physical body to judge him!
Xu Xing sneered, and all the acupoints of his perfected cultivation exerted their power simultaneously, with 129,600 body spirits working together.

His physical body was no longer like a physical body, but rather like a celestial court with myriad gods presiding over it, each performing their own duties. Every change was exquisite and perfectly natural, operating the cosmic pivot, controlling birth and death, and affecting the whole body with a single move.

The Great Extinction Tathagata felt that he was not suppressing a physical body, but an entire universe!

The fundamental energy of the Taoist emperors is hailed as the embryonic form of the universe, and the Buddhas have the ability to create countless worlds with a single thought. However, for these so-called "embryonic forms" and "countless worlds" to grow into a complete material universe, they would require at least hundreds of millions of years of careful nurturing. It is merely a form of praise.

But the power the opponent is using now is absolutely genuine, as if they have mobilized all existence in the universe to crash solidly into them!
Such power is so great that even if the Great Extinction Tathagata were to personally descend or the Heavenly Emperor were to come down to earth, he might not be able to suppress it!

With a single tremor, Xu Xing crushed the World-Destroying Brahma Wheel to dust. His eyes burst forth with divine light a billion times brighter than the blazing sun. He brought his palms together, unleashing a destructive force powerful enough to overturn heaven and earth and shatter the void, and blasted it fiercely toward the Great Destroyer Tathagata!

The Great Extinction Tathagata instinctively wanted to mobilize his Buddhist power to counterattack. On his battle body, which was made of glass, small wheels appeared one after another. With each rotation, his power was pushed to another peak.

This is similar to the method of refining the apertures of a human immortal. However, the physical body of the Great Extinction Tathagata does not have a single aperture, nor is it limited to human form. With billions of Brahma Wheels stacked on top of each other, it is not much different from the power of the "shattering the vacuum" realm.

Even faster than Xu Xing's fist was a terrifying will that expanded infinitely and rose endlessly, traversing the entire cosmos, transcending all phenomena, pressing down, determined to sweep away all obstacles.

Although the Great Extinction Tathagata withstood the impact of the fist intent with his unparalleled fighting spirit, his Buddhist power was still inevitably restricted, and he was hit by Xu Xing's punch.

Although the Great Extinction Tathagata was not directly defeated, a look of shock still flashed in his golden eyes.

His own Annihilation Zen Technique was already considered a unique fighting method in the Three Realms and Six Paths, and its power was undoubtedly among the top in the world. Yet, in this clash without any fancy moves, he was actually at a disadvantage?!

—What kind of supernatural power is this?!

The Great Extinction Tathagata had never before experienced such a supreme and terrifyingly domineering power from any of the great supernatural beings he knew. It seemed as if the Tathagata wanted to shatter all phenomena to prove the one true power.

As the ancient Buddha was pondering, Xu Xing's fist, imbued with the power of 129,600 divine bodies and combined with the workings of the universe, unleashed boundless primordial energy and struck once more!

Xu Xing's attack was successful, so he naturally wouldn't give the Great Extinction Tathagata a chance to catch his breath. Even if the Great Extinction Tathagata had many doubts, he had no choice but to fight back in this dangerous and dangerous situation.

The two unparalleled powerhouses clashed countless times in an instant, defying the limitations of time and shattering the laws of the universe.

Unlike the probing between the Great Extinction Tathagata and the Demon Emperor, where both held back, the two attacked with all their might from the very first move, leaving nothing to hold back. As a result, the battle is now escalating rapidly!

The terrifying aftershocks generated by the two's all-out attack immediately tore apart the gap between the upper and lower levels of the Immortal Realm, connecting the Yin and Yang worlds. The annihilating and turbid energy collided directly with the pure and yang energy, triggering a series of explosions.

They stood in this void realm spanning hundreds of millions of miles, as if countless stars were simultaneously exploding, shattering, and annihilating, while countless celestial bodies were born from within it, with destruction and creation repeating endlessly.

Although the Great Extinction Tathagata suffered a setback in the first battle because he did not understand Xu Xing's power, he still managed to withstand the power of "shattering the vacuum" by relying on his incredibly profound accumulation of Buddhist principles.

Xu Xing's power to shatter the vacuum was enough to break the gap between two universes and shake the foundation of the laws of heaven and earth. Even with the knowledge and experience of the Great Extinction Tathagata, he had to admire it.

However, the countless Brahma wheels rotating around the Great Extinction Tathagata can deflect one-hundred-millionth of the power contained in his punch with each rotation, thereby reducing the damage.

However, with each deflection, the rotation speed of these Brahma wheels also increases slightly.

Now, the Brahma Wheel around the Great Extinction Tathagata is already a thousand times faster than before, and this swirling force has pulverized the Yin and Yang energies that are colliding fiercely in the surrounding void.

In Xu Xing's eyes, this flawless, immortal Buddha body, made of crystal, had begun to sway slightly, and fine cracks appeared on its skin, as if it could not bear the weight and was about to collapse.

In contrast, the power emanating from the Great Extinction Tathagata was also constantly rising, from a level that was slightly inferior to Xu Xing to a level that was comparable to it.

But Xu Xing seemed completely oblivious. He threw another punch, sending the Buddha's body of the Great Annihilation Tathagata flying thirty thousand miles. His left hand transformed from a fist into a palm, forming a heaven-supporting stance, and he laughed loudly:

"Waiting for an opportunity to strike is not the way of a strong person. Since you want to kill me, then come at me all at once!"

With a single palm strike, the various primordial energies and even the surging chaotic power above Xu Xing's head were completely shattered.

Wherever the palm strike passed, the remaining vital energy was swept away, leaving only a wide path stretching for countless miles, leading straight to the end of the void in the Immortal Realm.

There, a colossal steel god suddenly opened its eyes, raised its massive head with its hard lines, and its eyes flashed with eerie green flames. Its iron arm clenched into a fist, and it threw a punch into the air!
