Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I created three thousand demon realms.

Chapter 182 The Struggle Between Buddha and Demon
"What, can't you do it yourself?" Yuan Meng said with a smile.

Sun Wukong fell silent. Even with his usual arrogant demeanor, he couldn't find the words to refute Yuan Meng at this moment.

"Have you thought it through now?" Yuan Meng asked Sun Wukong slowly.

Sun Wukong looked at Yuan Meng, his anger subsided by more than half, but he was still puzzled as to why someone like Yuan Meng would seek him out.
"What exactly do you want me to do?"

Yuan Meng smiled and looked at Sun Wukong: "I'll say it again, come find me after you reach the Quasi-Saint level. I'll be waiting for you on Chaos Island."

The moment the voice faded, Yuan Meng vanished from Sun Wukong's sight.

Sun Wukong looked at the vanished Yuan Meng, a glint of light in his eyes: "Chaos Island, I will go there."

After leaving Huaguo Mountain, Yuan Meng returned directly to Chaos Island.

The trip to Flower Fruit Mountain was merely to help Sun Wukong recover more quickly; Yuan Meng had already made arrangements for how Sun Wukong would be dealt with later.

But for now, let Sun Wukong just go with the flow and follow the arrangements of Heaven.

Yuan Meng didn't want to change these things either.

These things also helped Sun Wukong grow rapidly.

Moreover, there are no side effects, since Sun Wukong was born to meet a calamity.

Western lands!

Within the Great Thunder Temple, the Buddha's light shines everywhere, and countless Buddhist disciples and descendants cultivate on Mount Ling.

A wisp of black demonic energy transformed into a human figure and appeared in the Great Thunderclap Temple. Buddha Tathagata opened his eyes and looked at the black figure that appeared in the main hall.

With long black hair, a hidden face, and an inescapable cunning and evil in his eyes, he wore a long black robe and ignored the many Bodhisattvas and Arhats in Leiyin Temple, looking at the Tathagata sitting in the very center.

"I wonder what brings this fellow Daoist to our Great Thunderclap Temple?" Tathagata said slowly, looking at the black figure in front of him.

"I am Tiancan, one of the demonic disciples under the Demon Ancestor. I have come to ask you all to leave the Western Lands." Tiancan said with a smile on his face, black demonic energy raging, and the aura of a quasi-saint peak permeated the air.

As one of the demonic beings who survived the Dragon-Han Calamity to the present, Tiancan's strength is not weak.

His strength reached the peak of Quasi-Saint, reaching the pinnacle of his path.

Tathagata looked at Tiancan and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you know that even Buddha can be angry!"

Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance and looked towards the direction of Zixiao Palace in the chaos.

The Demon Realm has been born, and Zhunti and Jieyin now know about it. However, due to Hongjun's decree, the sages are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the prehistoric world at will.

Therefore, these saints obediently stayed in their respective temples.

Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that if these sages could truly intervene in the affairs of the primordial world at will, there is indeed nothing they cannot accomplish.

The idea that sages are omniscient and omnipotent is not just empty talk.

Looking across the collapsing heavens, the sages were among the strongest. Among the sages, there were strong and weak, but for those below the sage level...

Saints are absolutely overwhelming beings.

This has led to a major change in Mount Ling. Zhunti and Jieyin are helpless and can only watch things unfold, but they have also made preparations.

The sacred mountains of the Western Land!

Tian Can looked at the Buddha with a glint in his eyes. In Tian Can's eyes, the Western Land had been the territory of the Demonic Sect since ancient times.

Buddhism is merely a latecomer.

Most importantly, the Buddha's light seems to be inherently compatible with and counteracts demonic energy.

"Amitabha!!!" Tathagata chanted a Buddhist prayer, and his golden hand swept directly towards Tiancan, a golden seal appearing, and the Three Thousand Buddha Kingdoms materialized in his hand. The golden hand descended!
The light in Tiancan's eyes shattered time and space, and endless demonic energy surged towards the heavens. The sacred mountain, bathed in golden Buddhist light, was instantly enveloped by the endless demonic energy.

It turned into a place of utter darkness.

A burst of Buddha's light appeared, the golden light clashing with the black demonic energy. The Buddhist disciples in the three thousand Buddha kingdoms sometimes had ferocious expressions, and sometimes smiled peacefully.

This is a clash of ideologies between Buddhism/Taoism and the demonic path.

Buddhas and demons are similar; they are essentially a battle of minds, which is why there is the saying that one can become a Buddha or a demon in a single thought.

Soon in this confrontation, Tiancan, a veteran quasi-saint, gained the upper hand.

The Buddha's disciples and grandchildren in the three thousand Buddha lands have all become demon's disciples and grandchildren.

The entire Ling Mountain transformed into a demonic mountain filled with eerie energy, and the Great Thunder Temple, once bathed in Buddhist light, became a demonic palace.

A wisp of golden light was still struggling amidst the boundless demonic energy.

The vast demonic energy surged into the heavens and pierced through the primordial world.

The Buddha's immortal gold was tinged with a hint of black.

The next moment, the Buddha's eyes held the aura of endless ages, and golden Buddhist flames ignited within him.

Endless Buddhist light once again shone upon Mount Ling.

Those Buddhist disciples and grandchildren who had fallen into demonic possession rediscovered their true selves at this moment, gazing upon the Great Sun Tathagata who was burning himself.

"All Buddhist disciples, temporarily retreat from Mount Ling." The Buddha's voice resounded throughout Mount Ling.

Tian Can looked at Tathagata with icy eyes.

The Buddha is burning himself to briefly illuminate the gate of Buddhism.

Thinking of this, Tian Can's eyes were filled with boundless demonic thoughts, and endless demonic energy erupted once again, overwhelming the golden Buddhist light.

"Amitabha Buddha!!!" the Buddha chanted.

His body burned to ashes, eventually turning into a relic, which carried the true spirit of the Buddha through time and space and disappeared on Mount Ling.

"It ran away?" Tian Can looked at Tathagata, who had transformed into a relic and fled, and narrowed his eyes. He wanted to chase after him, but after thinking for a moment, he looked towards the border between the western and southern lands.

That place is the ancestral city of the ferocious beast clan.

As a veteran Quasi-Saint who survived the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, Tian Can naturally knew about the existence of the ferocious beast clan. At that time, Tian Can was not considered a big shot.

He can only be described as an unremarkable Ronaldo.

In such a great battle, one could perish at any moment, but he was lucky enough to survive unscathed and even became a quasi-saint after two great eons.

The direction in which the Buddha's relic fled was the direction of the ancestral city of ferocious beasts, so Tiancan did not stop it. In Tiancan's view, after the Buddha transformed into a relic, there would be no major problem even if he were to rebuild his cultivation.

Even before you retake the course, you're no match for yourself. So what if you do retake it?

"Congratulations, Demon Lord!" A man dressed in a black robe with long black hair walked in. He looked extremely peaceful, but his eyes contained endless demonic power.

"Wutian, thanks to you, I was able to enter Mount Ling so easily. Otherwise, the battle to protect the mountain from the Buddhist sect would have been quite troublesome," Tiancan said to Wutian with a smile.

He was at the Great Luo Realm of Wutian. Before falling into demonic possession, he was a great protector of the Buddhist realm, Kinnara, one of the Eight Dragon Gods, and the peak of the Great Luo Realm.

"You're too kind, Demon Lord. If it weren't for your help in avenging me, I don't know when I would have been able to take my revenge," Wutian said with a smile, a twelve-petaled black lotus slowly rotating deep within his eyes.

A twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus!!!
