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

Chapter 208 One thought can make you a Buddha, one thought can make you a demon.

Wutian looked at Tathagata.

"Turning back is the shore? Hahaha, this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. In terms of merit, I am greater than you; in terms of strength, I am stronger than you. Why is it that you are the one who sits on the throne of Buddha in the end?" Wutian looked at Tathagata with boundless hatred in his eyes.

"In the end, you only got all this by betraying your relatives and friends. I, Wutian, have been spreading Buddhism in the southern part of the western land. In terms of merit, what have you done?" Wutian said in a deep voice.

"Amitabha!" the Buddha chanted.

"Wutian, you are attached to appearances," Buddha said slowly.

Wutian looked at the Buddha with a cold smile. In terms of merit, Wutian's contribution to the Buddhist sect's success in the entire Western Primordial World was arguably the greatest.

However, after the previous Buddha abdicated, it was not Wutian who succeeded him, which led to evil thoughts arising in Wutian's mind.

In Wutian's view, the reason why Tathagata was able to sit in the position of Buddha was largely because Tathagata was the disciple of the previous Buddha.

He worked like a slave, toiling tirelessly without complaint, only to be slandered in the end. How could this not lead Wutian astray and cause him to harbor evil thoughts?

“You all say that you can become a Buddha by laying down your butcher’s knife, but what I see is just a group of evil people who have put on Buddhist robes. Good people need to reincarnate for ten lifetimes to become Buddhas, while bad people can become Buddhas simply by laying down their butcher’s knife. Tell me, what is a Buddha? What is a demon?” Wutian said in a deep voice.

"The Buddha resides in the heart; to do good is to be a Buddha, to do evil is to be a demon," the Buddha said slowly.

"Is that so?" Wutian looked at the Buddha with a smile on his face.

A black lotus flower appeared on the body of a Buddha.

In an instant, the lotus flower swayed with an eerie dark red light, and the Buddha was completely drained of his life essence by Wutian, even his primordial spirit was annihilated.

"How dare you!!!" A series of chanting sounds rang out, and all the Buddhas in the heavens were enraged.

Wutian looked at Tathagata with a smile on his face.

"Then, if I lay down my butcher's knife now, may I become a Buddha?" Wutian said with a smile.

Tathagata looked at Wutian with a deep chill in his eyes.

To say that one cannot become a Buddha is to slap oneself in the face, isn't it?

To say that one can become a Buddha? We just killed a Buddha; do you think the other Buddhas would agree? They certainly wouldn't.

"Wutian, this is nothing but sophistry," Buddha said slowly.

Wu Tian laughed.

"Hahaha, whether one can become a Buddha by laying down the butcher's knife is a question that ignorant people are good at answering. You know it, and I know it too. Whether one can become a Buddha is just a matter of our word. So look at me now, am I a Buddha?" Wutian said in a deep voice.

Boundless Buddha-nature manifested in Wutian's body.

Surrounded by Buddhist light and filled with chanting, Wutian exuded countless Buddhist qualities, and even received the blessing of a Buddhist golden body.

The gods and Buddhas in the sky looked at Wutian in disbelief.

Wutian, who was just a great demon, has now become a great Buddha.

"So, am I a Buddha or a demon now?" Wutian asked with a smile.

Boundless Buddha light shone upon the Demon Mountain.

Tathagata looked at Wutian, a hint of shock in his eyes: "Buddha and demon cultivating together!!!!"

Wutian smiled and looked at the Buddha: "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. It's good that you've all arrived, so I don't have to search for you all over the prehistoric world. Since you're all here, then you can all die here."

The words fell.

Wutian's Buddha-nature and demon-nature erupted simultaneously; he was half Buddha and half demon, the difference between Buddha and demon was but a thought.

The entire Demon Mountain was thrown into turmoil.

Black lotuses appeared in the sky, swaying with an eerie light.

"Kill!!" Wutian's voice rang out.

Countless demon sons and grandsons from the three thousand demon kingdoms broke out and began to besiege and kill the gods and Buddhas.

The Buddha looked at Wutian, and then made his move.

The golden Buddha's palm went directly towards the Wutian Seal.

The Buddha's light shone upon all things, and countless demons and their offspring dissolved and vanished into the world the moment they touched this light.

All the gods and Buddhas chanted Buddhist scriptures in unison.

Countless rays of Buddha light burst forth, forming a grand array of ten thousand Buddhas!

"Let's see if your Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation is more powerful, or my World Annihilation Formation," Wutian said in a deep voice.

Eerie black lotuses, radiating a dark red light, swayed in the sky, brewing an aura of destruction.

At the same time, Wutian also struck out with a palm, and the Three Thousand Demon Kingdoms appeared in Wutian's hand, causing endless time to vanish.

The Buddha radiated an immortal light, the supreme supernatural power of Buddhism, a six-zhang golden body!
clang!!
The Buddha withstood the attack, but the dark demonic energy subsequently clung to his body. Bathed in Buddhist light, the Buddha's eyes held a hint of solemnity; Wutian was far more terrifying and stronger than he had imagined.

"A grain of sand contains a world, an illusion contains a Buddha." The demonic power within Wutian surged, and in the blink of an eye, countless worlds blossomed and existed.

All the gods and Buddhas were incorporated into it, and Sun Wukong was no exception.

The next moment, the world was annihilated, and with it, the Buddha, who was contained within it, also perished.

The Buddha's boundless Buddha-nature rippled in his eyes, three thousand Buddha-lands surrounded him, and countless chants arose.

"Amitabha Buddha!!!" The Buddha chanted the Buddha's name, and stretched out a huge hand, a golden Buddha palm, which seemed to contain all the heavens and myriad worlds and pressed down on Wutian.

Wutian also extended a palm, and endless time bloomed, spread, and intertwined, directly colliding with Tathagata.

Ghosts appeared on Tathagata's body, and so did Wutian. However, the next moment, Buddhist light and demonic light appeared on Wutian's body.

Wutian's body was repaired.

The Buddha, however, shed golden blood.

"If there truly is a Buddha in this world, then I am the only Buddha." Wutian's voice resounded across the western land, his demonic nature and Buddhist heart blooming simultaneously.

With a dazzling divine light, he took a step forward, and the forces of Buddha and demon intertwined, the two opposing powers merging into Wutian's palm.

The Buddha's body exploded and turned into golden blood mist.

"Amitabha!!" The Buddha uttered a Buddhist chant, and his body reformed, though this time he appeared somewhat weak.

"I want to prove that the previous Buddha's choice was wrong, and that I am the only Buddha." Wutian said slowly, looking at Tathagata with boundless demonic power.

As Buddha looked at Wutian, the Buddhist light emanating from his body gradually dimmed, and finally he looked at Sun Wukong, who was trapped in the small world by Wutian.

"Amitabha Buddha." A Buddhist chant resounded throughout the Western land.

The blazing Buddha light shone upon the western land, making the Buddha's body appear majestic and vast.

Endless Buddhist light, like flames, intertwined and surrounded the Buddha's body.

The Buddha's body was burning, and endless demonic energy echoed and intertwined in Wutian's eyes.

The next moment, Tathagata's body transformed into a golden Buddha standing between heaven and earth.

The Buddha's light shines through the ages.

A relic flew directly from the Buddha's body and merged into Sun Wukong's body.

"Amitabha!!!" The Buddha chanted the Buddha's name, and his body exploded, with endless Buddha light and blood instantly sweeping across the entire Western land.

Buddha's blood stains the mountains and rivers!
A quasi-saint Buddha sacrificed himself, igniting boundless Buddha-nature with his own body.

The light of Buddhahood swept across the entire Western land.

Wutian frowned and looked at Tathagata.

With a final, slight smile, the Buddha vanished from the world.

Golden Buddhist essence resonates and intertwines across the western land.

The beings that had been possessed by demons were completely freed from it.

"Buddha, have mercy!" countless beings exclaimed in unison.

The Buddha sacrificed himself, using his own life as a price to ignite his Buddha-nature and illuminate the Western Land. Countless beings on the Western Land awakened from their demonic possession because of the Buddha's self-sacrifice.

Wu Tian's expression also turned somewhat ugly.

The original plan was rendered futile due to Buddha's self-sacrifice.

Throughout the Western land, because of the Tathagata, the Buddha sacrificed himself, and Buddha-nature resonated throughout the Western land, flowing in every inch of the land.

The demonic power is waning, which Wutian cannot accept.

Wutian looked at the struggling Buddhas with endless killing intent in his eyes.

The next moment, a golden figure appeared behind Wutian. The dazzling golden light flowed with immortal Buddhist nature. The golden cudgel in his hand crushed the ages and attacked Wutian.

boom!
Wutian staggered a few steps and stopped, looking at Sun Wukong who had ambushed him with a hint of anger in his eyes, which then turned into a strange color.

Now, the boundless Buddha-nature within Sun Wukong is intertwined.

The aura emanating from his body was surging and somewhat unstable, sometimes high and sometimes low.

“Buddha’s relic!” Wutian looked at Sun Wukong and discovered the clue on Sun Wukong’s body.

Before his self-sacrifice, Buddha directly integrated his relics into Sun Wukong's body, which is why Sun Wukong is in such an unstable state now.
