Chapter 360 The Holy Demon Sword, Seeking the Purple Clouds

Drops of golden Buddha's blood slowly dripped down. The Great Sun Tathagata chanted a Buddhist mantra in a low voice. His blood-soaked fingers could no longer suppress the surging, earth-shattering sword intent of the Holy Evil Lord. Blood-red lightning burst forth, and a bloody hole was pierced through the palm of the Great Sun Tathagata.

The immense power of Mount Sumeru descended, and amidst the boundless incense and spiritual energy, the pierced palm of Vairocana Buddha slowly recovered. However, Vairocana Buddha's vital energy had diminished considerably due to this injury.

The Holy Evil Lord is, after all, a supreme treasure of the Void, and the damage caused by this demonic sword cannot be easily recovered.

Regaining his grip on the Holy Evil Lord, Youquan wiped away the five pale golden finger marks on the Holy Evil Lord with a wave of his hand. Looking at the Great Sun Tathagata, Youquan revealed his own Dao Fruit of Debate Between Positive and Negative, his eyes, one blood and one gold, staring at the Great Sun Tathagata.

At this moment, the Buddha's own Buddhist foundation was reversed by the Nether Spring. The vast and magnificent Buddha light transformed into cold and deep demonic energy. The raging flames of demonic energy were causing the Buddha's foundation to collapse continuously. However, the Buddha's expression remained unchanged, cold and resolute.

The golden lotus beneath him had transformed into a black lotus flower. The Great Sun Tathagata, draped in a sea of ​​blood and wearing a skull crown, stared indifferently at Youquan, his entire being gradually extinguished under the endless flames of demonic fire.

As the pure and vast Buddha light on Mount Sumeru dimmed, the entire body of Vairocana Buddha was burned to ashes under the watchful gaze of the secluded spring.

Youquan frowned as he looked at the Great Sun Tathagata, unable to believe that the Great Sun Tathagata had fallen so easily. If a Great Luo Dao Lord who controlled the Taixu Supreme Treasure could be burned to death by demonic fire so easily, then Youquan alone could dominate the entire prehistoric world.

Sure enough, only a moment after the death of Vairocana Buddha, two round, radiant relics flew out from the ashes. One relic was pure white and flawless, radiating great light, while the other was peaceful, serene, and radiating supreme bliss.

In the commentary by Youquan, the immeasurable incense and spiritual power accumulated on Mount Sumeru flowed out, and the two relics shone brightly. The white relics transformed back into Mahavairocana Tathagata, wearing a crown of five Buddhas and celestial robes.

The other red relic transformed into Amitabha Buddha, with red skin and golden robes, hands clasped together, and three halos rotating behind his head.

"Another Dharma body at the level of a Great Luo Dao Lord. It seems that Shakyamuni has at least condensed two Great Luo Dao Fruits."

Looking at the newly appeared Amitabha Buddha, Youquan's expression became slightly serious. If it were just the Great Sun Tathagata, Youquan wouldn't care. With the Holy Evil Lord's origin sublimated and the Great Profound Right and Wrong Extermination Sword Formation successfully evolved, Youquan was truly not afraid of a Great Sun Tathagata's Dharma body.

However, the situation is different now that two Dharma bodies at the level of Great Luo Dao Lords are attacking together. Although Youquan is not worried about losing, it will not be easy for him to defeat these two Buddhas.

The Great Luo Dao Fruit of the Great Sun Tathagata is called Nirvana Rebirth. This Great Luo Dao Fruit endows the Great Sun Tathagata with the most sublime Buddha nature. As long as Buddhism exists, the Great Sun Tathagata will be immortal. Even if a Primordial Great Luo Dao Lord wants to kill the Great Sun Tathagata, he can only completely destroy Buddhism first.

It was precisely because of this Dao Fruit that Shakyamuni was able to confidently allow Mahavairocana to participate in the divine destiny of Yin and Yang. This Great Luo Dao Fruit was also Shakyamuni's most fundamental Great Luo Dao Fruit.

With this Great Dao Fruit, Shakyamuni could confidently send his many Dharma bodies out into the world. Even if all of Shakyamuni's Dharma bodies were destroyed, as long as Buddhism existed, Shakyamuni could perfectly revive them using the Nirvana Rebirth Fruit.

The Great Sun Tathagata and Amitabha Buddha stood in front of Mount Sumeru. The boundless incense and spiritual power behind the Great Sun Tathagata's head solidified into a tangible form, and the Great Sun Dharma Realm Seal was unleashed once again.

Amitabha Buddha remained calm, with a vast expanse of light emanating from the three opposing halos behind his head. All the Buddhas of the ten directions, Bodhisattvas of the three realms, and eight hundred Arhats reappeared behind Amitabha Buddha.

By combining the power of all Buddhas, Amitabha Buddha unleashed a palm strike, its immense power even surpassing that of the Great Sun Tathagata who had borrowed the power of Mount Sumeru. The Holy Evil Lord's light split, revealing the Buddha Sword Blood Tathagata. Youquan grasped the Holy Evil Lord and Blood Tathagata in each hand and charged towards the Great Sun Tathagata and Amitabha Buddha.

The Holy Evil Lord, wielding overwhelming demonic energy, forcibly tore apart the Great Sun Dharma Realm Seal, while Blood Tathagata, with even more immense and domineering power, directly repelled Amitabha Buddha's power of ten thousand Buddhas.

Two divine swords, carrying unparalleled killing intent, slashed towards the Great Sun Tathagata and Amitabha Buddha. The fierce battle between the three Great Luo Dao Lords pulverized the surrounding giant stars into dust.

The power of the Holy Evil Lord's ultimate return to nothingness emerged, and the power of the Blood Tathagata's Heavenly Dao Origin vibrated and burned. The Nether Spring, using its strongest power, once again suppressed the Great Sun Tathagata and Amitabha Buddha.

The two divine swords, with their unparalleled sharpness, forced Mount Sumeru back. The power of ten thousand Buddhas summoned by Amitabha Buddha was shattered by the domineering Buddha light that tore everything apart. The boundless blood light that kept bursting from Youquan's body was like a rushing river of blood that covered all things in the universe.

Countless stars collapsed and shrank the moment the Blood River appeared, and all the power of the stars was swallowed up by the Blood River.

The Great Sun Tathagata and Amitabha Buddha continuously drew upon the power of Mount Sumeru to attack the Nether Spring, while the Holy Evil Lord and Blood Tathagata unleashed their opposing Yin and Yang powers, constantly shattering the power of Mount Sumeru.

Looking at the approaching Mount Sumeru and the two Buddhist monks, Youquan's indifferent face revealed a cold glint: "It's a pity that Shakyamuni didn't personally take action this time, otherwise I really wanted to see if I had surpassed the head of the Buddhist sect."

"The warm-up ends here. However, compared to me, you who have evolved from incense and spiritual power combined with the Great Luo Dao Fruit are still far behind."

The immense power of the Great Luo Dao Fruit, the debate between right and wrong, continuously clashed with the Great Luo Dao Fruits emanating from the Great Sun Tathagata and Amitabha Buddha. With his superior cultivation and foundation, Youquan once again suppressed these two Buddha incarnations at the Great Luo Dao Lord level.

The power of the Dao Fruit of the debate between positive and negative was evolved to its extreme. At this moment, Youquan revealed another trump card of his. The Holy Evil Lord, covered with scarlet patterns, bloomed with brilliant Udumbara flowers. The demonic sword, which should have been extremely yin and evil, now merged with the true meaning of both Buddhism and demonism, transforming into an evil Buddhist sword.

Similarly, the tadpole-like purple talismans and ink inscriptions on the Blood Tathagata began to expound the various profound meanings of the Blood Sea Demonic Path. This divine sword, whose essence leaned towards the righteous and compassionate meaning of Buddhism, transformed into a holy demonic sword at this moment.

The two divine swords, originally biased towards one path, now fused together with the complete true meaning of the Yin-Yang Great Dao of Buddhism and Demonism. With a clang, the two divine swords cleaved through the dark sea of ​​stars.

Blood Tathagata, with its boundless radiance, tore through all of Mahavairocana Tathagata's Great Handprint of Light, pierced the Buddha's heart, and nailed him to a large silver star in a distant starry sea, sprinkling golden Buddha blood across the cosmos.

The surging Buddhist light and demonic flames of the Holy Evil Lord intertwined and burned. Amidst the raging flames, Amitabha Buddha's powerful consciousness, encompassing all things in the universe, was pierced by an even more terrifying sword light.

The Holy Evil Lord, wielding the all-encompassing dark golden light of the Evil Buddha, cleaved away the Mount Sumeru, which was carrying a torrent of incense offerings. The deafening roar that resounded throughout the three thousand worlds echoed across the vast void of the starry sea.

A huge crack appeared on Mount Sumeru, and the Dharma body of Amitabha Buddha, a great Luo Dao Lord, had disintegrated along with the disappearance of the relics.

Youquan glanced at the dying Great Sun Tathagata on the distant silver-white star, and a pale expression appeared on his face.

With her right hand raised high, Youquan looked at the tiny, rice-grain-sized nick on the Saint Evil Lord's translucent blade, her expression unchanged. Compared to the wounds inflicted on Mount Sumeru, the damage from the Saint Evil Lord was still within Youquan's acceptable range.

Holding two swords, Youquan surveyed his surroundings, his fierce divine intent after the fierce battle stirring up bursts of wind and thunder in the sea of ​​stars.

Although Mahavairocana and Amitabha are not true Great Luo Dao Lords, their combat power is not much weaker than that of a true Great Luo Dao Lord, not to mention that the two of them also brought the Buddhist Taixu Treasure, Mount Sumeru.

However, even with such power, Youquan still easily defeated him. The strength that Youquan displayed was enough to make any Great Luo Dao Lord in the Primordial World take him seriously.

Because of the battle at Youquan, the five major powers that were originally observing—the Qilin Royal Family, the Phoenix Royal Family, the Xuan Turtle Royal Family, the Xuanmen Immortal Path, and the Buddhist Path—temporarily ceased their killing intent.

The power of the Divine Path is too great now. They have no intention of fighting to the death with all their might. The Divine Path is only one side after all. Even with the help of Taiwei, Yangmei, and Youquan, it is still only a top-tier power.

The five major powers believed that once they were fully prepared, they would be able to defeat the Divine Path and stop the Divine Path's Yin-Yang Sacred God Mandate.

The Holy Evil Lord and Blood Tathagata transformed back into a divine sword, which was sheathed on Youquan's back. They sat cross-legged in the sea of ​​stars, and Youquan continued to guard Zhuzhao and Youying in the Sun Star and the Moon Star.

Incidentally, Youquan is also drawing on the essence of the Sun Star and the Moon Star to repair the wounds inflicted by the Holy Evil Lord during his collision with Mount Sumeru.

The golden halo of the sun's corona grew increasingly dazzling, and the silver moon's radiance became ever more crystal clear. Sensing the growing aura of Zhuzhao and Youying within the Sun and Moon stars, Youquan slowly closed his eyes.

Given the rate at which Zhuzhao and Youying are growing, the great war between the Shinto and the five major powers won't be long.

On the Taiwei side, fifteen of the twenty-seven Great Luo Dao Fruits have successfully advanced over the years. With the sublimation of their own Dao cultivation realm, the evolution and perfection of the Great Luo Dao Fruits have become increasingly easier for Taiwei.

The advancement of just fifteen Great Luo Dao Fruits was enough for Taiwei to feel that he was ready to advance to the Hunyuan Daojun realm.

The cultivation system corresponding to these fifteen Great Luo Dao Fruits has been further perfected with the addition of the laws of heaven and earth of the two eternal great worlds and the Pangu inheritance contained in the heart of Pangu.

However, Taiwei had no intention of advancing to the Hunyuan Daojun realm. As mentioned before, there is not much difference between Hunyuan Daojun and Daluo Daojun in essence; the difference lies only in their combat power and the perfection of their cultivation systems.

Taiwei plans to directly advance to the Hunyuan Daluo Daojun realm after perfecting all twenty-seven Daluo Dao Fruits and twenty-seven cultivation systems.

Taiwei estimated that he should be able to advance to the Hunyuan Daluo Daojun realm before other Daluo Daojuns in the Primordial World advanced to the Hunyuan Daojun realm.

Each of the many Great Luo Dao Lords in the Primordial World possessed extraordinary talent and aptitude, but unfortunately, from the moment Taiwei forged the Limitless Balanced Heaven and successfully underwent tribulation, a qualitative difference already existed between him and these people.

Few of the Great Luo Dao Lords in the Primordial World can pose a real threat to Taiwei anymore.

Taiwei never imagined that after becoming the number one person in the prehistoric world, he would kill off all the Daluo Daojuns who represented the foundation of the prehistoric world. Only with the existence of these top-level experts could the evolution of the prehistoric world be better promoted.

However, Zi Xiao was not among the top-tier beings who were able to survive. Tai Wei and Zi Xiao had accumulated a complex web of cause and effect, and Tai Wei had no interest in cleaning it up one by one.

Taiwei has now become the number one person in the primordial world. In addition, in this era, Zixiao brought the Yin-Yang Holy God's destiny of the divine path into the open, which means that Taiwei has to pay a greater price to offset the favor he owes Taiyi.

Therefore, Taiwei has decided that he will deal with Zixiao before the Yin-Yang Holy God's Mandate fully erupts!

Taiwei, dressed in a white feather robe, arrived in the Eastern Wilderness accompanied by a beam of silver light that transcended time and space. His three thousand black hairs were draped behind him, and Taiwei's eyes, one gold and one purple, saw through all illusions.

The three thousand Heavenly Daos of the primordial world began to tremble, and the power of the Great Luo Dao Lord, along with the fully unsealed Nine Li Heavenly Demons, continued to search for Zi Xiao's location.

If Taiwei continues to let Zixiao run wild, Zixiao will not give up her entanglement with him. Taiwei has no desire to continue getting involved with Zixiao.

Silver volcanic eruptions leaped and spread across the land, while countless winds and thunderclaps exploded in the heavens and the underworld. The supreme and boundless divine will of Taiwei recklessly manipulated the fate and secrets of countless living beings.

In the nameless place, hidden in the shadows, Zi Xiao immediately sensed that outsiders were searching for him. His brows furrowed, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Having already advanced to the Great Luo Dao Lord and clearly condensed two Great Luo Dao Fruits, Zi Xiao did not believe that anyone in the current prehistoric world could threaten his life, even if that person was Taiwei.

Faced with Taiwei's provocation, Zixiao had no intention of hiding. He was a top-level Primordial True Saint and a Great Luo Dao Lord. There was no one in the Great Primordial World who could make him flee without a fight!

Thirty thousand feet of purple energy transformed into dragons and snakes floating in the sky. Zixiao appeared in the sky, stepping on ten thousand feet of purple energy. The Taixu Supreme Treasure, the Jade Disc of Creation, floated with three thousand Heavenly Dao patterns, which transformed into three thousand Purple Heaven Divine Thunders, which bombarded Taiwei the moment they appeared.

"I thought you would hide and not come out. Facing me like this is not like your usual style."

Thousands upon thousands of silver-white lightning bolts transformed into a magnificent canopy of silver hair above Taiwei. Purple aura and silver lightning exploded one after another, but Taiwei remained completely still. The first clash between the Nine Li Heavenly Demon and the Creation Jade Disc, two supreme treasures of the Void, ended in a draw.
