Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 348 The Decisive Battle Between Dao and Demon
A three-thousand-year-old baby.
Niu Yi was speechless for a moment. Seriously though, even if he lived for several decades, even to the age of hundreds of thousands, in this person's eyes he would still be a child.
After speaking, the Jade Emperor ignored Niu Yi and began to stroll around the Heavenly Emperor's Palace on his own. Niu Yi quickly stepped forward to accompany him.

Perhaps because Niu Yi named it Baiyujing, most of the buildings in Baiyujing are white and gold, with palaces and pavilions made of white jade bricks, stone bridges and pavilions everywhere, truly a dwelling place for immortals.

The gold accents on it make the elegant and ethereal Baiyujing appear noble.

"Your Heavenly Emperor Palace is quite well built, no less impressive than the grand halls constructed by those officials. I imagine that if Zhang and Lu saw it, they would be quite impressed."

"Speaking of which, your own Golden Gourd Mountain, Rotten Peach Mountain, and Daojun Mountain are all well-built, and I find them pleasing to the eye."

As the Jade Emperor spoke, he patted the throne formed by Niu Yi's heavenly merits.

"Since you want your Dao Lord clone to take over this world so that you can reincarnate in another world to comprehend the Dao, why not build a passage here that can also connect to the Three Realms? If there are people in this world with enough talent who are expected to transcend, they can go to the Three Realms to cultivate."

"This matter can be handled by Zhang and Lu's second class."

Niu Yi's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he quickly replied:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but..."

The Jade Emperor waved his hand casually and said:

"No need to thank me. Both classes are quite experienced in this matter. This world still belongs to you alone."

Niu Yi nodded thoughtfully. With so many powerful figures in the Three Realms, it was impossible for him to be the only one with his own world. That's why Zhang and Lu's team were so familiar with the place.
In any case, this is a good thing. There can only be one being in this world who is equivalent to the Great Luo, and that is the Heavenly Emperor who holds the power of the Heavenly Dao.

However, the Three Realms do not have this restriction. If someone truly wants to continue cultivating, or even to attain the Dao Fruit and transcend life and death, they will have a path to take another step forward.

The Jade Emperor strolled around Niu Yi's Jade Capital before leaving. Before departing, he spoke to Niu Yi rather solemnly:

"We must win that battle two days from now with great fanfare."

Niu Yi quickly agreed, feeling inexplicably strange. It wasn't until the Jade Emperor had been gone for a while that he belatedly realized what was going on, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"This guy, he's not going to use me as a bet with someone, is he?"

some time ago.

The Three Realms, the Heavenly Court, the Golden Palace and Cloud Palace.

The Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, Laozi, and Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun were watching the cloud scene in the center of the Cloud Palace, chatting and laughing.

Several fairies were attending to him, and would promptly refill his cup if the imperial wine ran low.

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun looked at the ten-thousand-foot-tall Buddha and demon in the mirror, stroked his beard, and nodded, saying:

"The demonic cultivators from this outer realm follow the path of sacrifice. It seems they sacrificed their own world to achieve the demonic path."

"With Guangyi's current abilities, five moves would be enough to deal with this demonic cultivator."

The other three nodded slightly, and the Jade Emperor smiled and said:
"Since we have nothing else to do, how about we make a bet? Let's bet on how many moves my beloved minister can use to defeat that demonic cultivator."

"Okay~"

Two days later, in the world of Liaozhai, the heavens and earth suddenly trembled. All the beings, whether in the underworld, the mortal world, or the Jade Palace in the heavens, came out to watch the constantly trembling heavens and earth.

In this world where the sky is round and the earth is square, as the world evolves, the boundaries between heaven and earth continue to expand.

The mortals on the ground were filled with terror, thinking that the world was about to be destroyed. They all bowed down and knelt down, begging the gods to save them.

The ghosts in the underworld are comforted by the Netherworld, but the cycle of reincarnation is also undergoing inexplicable changes because it is closely related to the Heavenly Dao.

Only the many immortals in the Jade Palace in the heavens knew about this matter long ago, and they watched this scene with anticipation. The spiritual energy around them, which had been calm for several days, suddenly rose again, and the entire Jade Palace was being lifted up slowly by something.

Niu Yi sat on the throne in the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, quietly sensing the exhilarating Heavenly Dao. Soon, a magnificent crown, radiant with golden light, appeared above Niu Yi's head and gradually descended upon him.

His aura grew increasingly profound and terrifying, as Niu Yi had begun to gradually take control of the Heavenly Dao. This process was going very smoothly, and the Heavenly Dao seemed quite pleased with him.

At the same time, on the ground, the incense smoke and vows stored by divine healers, Daoist lords, and immortals were being activated by something, and began to resonate with some being outside the chaos.
“BOOM!!!!”

Suddenly, a violent roar came from the sky. The many immortals in Baiyujing looked up and saw that a huge, dark crack had suddenly appeared in the sky.

Behind the towering Buddha-demon stood dozens of pitch-black arms that stretched open the crack, and its form slowly entered the world.

The endless, dark demonic energy emanated from this Buddha-demon, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the sky above Baiyujing in darkness, and the demonic energy continued to spread rapidly.

"Is this the extraterrestrial demon that Guangyi and Qinglian were talking about?"

Yan Chixia, Xiahou Jianke, Tianji Laoren, Du Wu Xiaohai, and other immortals from Baiyujing all watched this scene with solemn expressions.

Even though they had anticipated this, the opponent's power was still far greater than they had imagined. The demonic energy, which seemed capable of turning the entire world into a demonic realm, exerted an unprecedented and terrifying pressure on them.

In a grand hall somewhere in Baiyujing, He Liansheng sat cross-legged on a green lotus. The black broken sword and the few fragments in his arms seemed to sense something and were trembling constantly, yet they were still firmly bound by He Liansheng.

The lotus petals slowly closed, gradually enveloping He Liansheng and the black sword, transforming into a lotus bud that vanished in an instant. In the sky, the terrifying Buddha-demon, radiating demonic energy, had completely opened the crack with its arms, its figure slowly entering this world, its pair of scarlet demonic eyes fixed on the most magnificent Heavenly Emperor Palace in Baiyujing.

"You scoundrel! Today is the day you die!"

The voice of the Buddha and the Demon resounded throughout the heavens and earth. Streams of demonic energy around him transformed into a crimson sea of ​​lightning, rapidly pressing down on Baiyujing, as if to engulf the entire city.

But at the same time, a bolt of lightning tinged with purple suddenly appeared out of thin air and collided with the crimson sea of ​​lightning, bursting out with a burst of intense light.

This heavenly thunder seemed endless, surging from all directions of the world with the boundless wrath of the heavens, determined to annihilate the Buddha and the demon!

"Humph!"

Buddha Demon snorted coldly, his demonic energy surging. At this moment, he had already retracted the many black arms behind him, and his figure completely entered this world.

Behind the Buddha and the Demon, a hundred arms formed hand seals, which quickly transformed into a scarlet hellish world filled with an aura of destruction and despair. This world crossed the sea of ​​lightning and pressed down on the Jade Palace below once more.

Countless bolts of lightning struck this hellish world, but could only slightly slow their descent, unable to shake it in the slightest.

A resolute look flashed in Yan Chixia's eyes, and he transformed into a crimson-gold sun.

Even if the opponent is incredibly powerful, he still has the courage to wield his sword!

But at that moment, Yan Chixia suddenly felt a hand land on his shoulder, pressing down all his magical power and the Great Dao of the Sun.

Yan Chixia turned his head and saw the Lord of Baiyujing, dressed in a magnificent imperial robe interwoven with white and gold, wearing a golden crown, and exuding an aura of endless majesty, standing behind him, looking at the hellish world that was constantly pressing down.

Niu Yi slowly opened his palm, using the power of the entire world to create a massive, yet vibrant, phantom world that clashed with the hellish world.

"boom------"

In a violent explosion and a blinding flash of light, both vanished without a trace.
Suddenly, a bald figure in a black robe appeared on the body of the Buddha-demon. As the radiance in the sky gradually dissipated, he looked down at Niu Yi, who was wearing an imperial robe, with a slight change in expression.

"You scoundrel! How could you have so quickly mastered the power of the Heavenly Dao of this realm!"

Niu Yi looked at the Buddha and the demon, and laughed loudly:

"I must thank you for this. If you hadn't been so hated, how could I have made it so easy for me?"

The Demon Lord narrowed his eyes, his voice filled with boundless killing intent.

"You worthless scoundrel who only knows how to talk big! Today I'll show you, you frog in a well, the difference between us!"

As the Demon Lord spoke, he clasped his hands together, about to unleash something, when suddenly his expression changed drastically, and he looked up at the sky!
"who!"

"Om~"

Suddenly, a cold light appeared from the sky and slashed straight at the Demon Lord!

Sensing the sharp aura within, capable of easily cleaving through all things, the Demon Lord unhesitatingly unleashed his magic, his figure transforming into demonic energy and instantly disappearing above the Buddha-Demon's head, leaving the ten-thousand-foot-tall Buddha-Demon pierced by this cold light and falling towards Niu Yi.

Dressed in imperial robes, Niu Yi grasped the gleaming white light in his hand, revealing a halberd that was buzzing excitedly.

"Long time no see, old friend."

Niu Yi looked at the Sun and Moon Steel Halberd in his hand with a smile on his face. Then, without hesitation, he quickly poured endless power of the Heavenly Dao into the Sun and Moon Steel Halberd and slashed it towards the ten-thousand-foot Buddha Demon in the sky!
A chilling light that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth flashed out instantly, striking the Buddha Demon in the blink of an eye and cleaving him in two without any resistance!

"what----"

Just then, a mournful wail suddenly rang out from above Baiyujing, which was far from the Buddha and the Demon. The Demon Lord's figure was rapidly appearing above Baiyujing, with a scarlet blood line appearing in the middle of his body, constantly spreading demonic energy.

"You're just like me! You're not even from this world! Who are you?!"

The Demon Lord stared at Niu Yi below with a look of terror and anger in his scarlet eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Niu Yi remained silent, but instead brandished his halberd, unleashing another slash of cold light!
His strike was based on cause and effect, which the Demon Lord could not dodge no matter what. Moreover, the strike was not aimed at the Demon Lord in the sky, but at the rift that had been torn open in the sky.

"what------"

Soon, another wail was heard, and the Demon Lord's figure above Baiyujing vanished into thin air. Meanwhile, a figure with two slash marks on its body, carrying surging demonic energy, appeared out of thin air as it frantically fled towards the crack.

The Demon Lord felt the excruciating pain and the uncontrollable wounds on his body, and his heart roared!

Leave this world!
That thief lost the support of the Heavenly Dao in this world, which is why I had a chance to survive!
However, just as the Demon Lord rushed into the crevice, a golden rod filled his vision.
"Hey, monster, where do you think you're going?!"

"boom----"

Before the Demon Lord could even rejoice, he was struck in the face by the iron rod, his consciousness dazed, and he was violently thrown back into this world.
