Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

"Bang bang bang..."

The Great Emperor of the North Pole, Ziwei, unleashed a full-force attack that was practically at the level of a half-step Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal. As this strike was unleashed, the Imperial Dragon Qi became the only light in the world. Under the Emperor's majesty, all external demons were utterly defeated.

The nine demon god-level experts wore expressions of despair as the kingly and domineering power within the golden light blasted their bodies into countless clumps of flesh, blood mist, and blood rain.

One strike slays nine demon gods!

This scene is absolutely breathtaking.

The demonic armor on the Devouring Immortal Demon Emperor's body shattered, and his demonic body was covered in wounds from which demonic blood flowed continuously. He had collapsed to his knees, and the demonic blade in his hand had been completely broken.

In the battle against the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, "Eating Immortal City" was utterly defeated and offered no resistance.

"How is this possible? How could I have lost so badly?"

Even at this moment, the Demon Emperor of the Devouring Immortals still couldn't believe what he was seeing.

That's horrible!

The ten demon gods joined forces, and with the assistance of a grand formation, they actually defeated the Great Emperor of the North Pole, Zhongtian, in a single move!

As for the remnants of the demon race on the teleportation array, they trembled with fear, their faces filled with sorrow. Their annihilation seemed inevitable.

"To submit or to die?"

The Great Emperor of the North Pole, Ziwei, looked down at his defeated opponent from his high position, his voice deep and majestic.

These six words resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and at the same time, they resounded in the hearts of the remnants of the demon race. Defeat was inevitable, and it seemed that they could surrender and survive.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became strange.

"To submit or to die?"

The Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven spoke again, uttering the same six words. Each word felt like a hammer blow to their hearts.

"hehe……"

A bitter laugh escaped his lips. He glanced back at his people on the teleportation array; only tens of thousands remained…

The vast "Food Immortal City" ruled over hundreds of millions of miles of the southern continent, occupying one-third of its territory. Its people numbered in the hundreds of millions, but now only a small number of them were able to escape here with him.

Seeing the hopeful yet fearful expressions on his people's faces, the Demon Emperor's heart bled, and he seemed completely lost.

"To submit or to die?"

The Great Emperor of the North Pole, Ziwei, remained cold and ruthless, uttering those six words in a deep voice. But this time, everyone felt a chilling killing intent.

Three strikes and you're out!

Everyone understood that this was the emperor's last chance for them.

"Submit..."

Finally, the Devouring Immortal Demon Emperor turned around, looked at the high and mighty Heavenly Emperor, and uttered the word "submit" in a hoarse voice.

This time, he knelt on both knees instead of one, holding the broken demonic blade high in his hand.

"Splash!"

On the teleportation array, tens of thousands of demons knelt down, following their king.

From this moment on, the rule of the Immortal-Eating Demon Clan came to an end.

One-third of the southern continent has been taken over by the Jie Sect, becoming a new world for spreading their doctrines.

Just as the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven subdued the Devouring Immortal Demon Emperor and began to have his subsequent army incorporate the Devouring Immortal Demon Clan, the other two great masters, the Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Earthly Demon Emperor, were still putting up a fierce resistance.

Master Xinghe used the "Xinghuang Banner of the Earthly Branch", the "Flame Banner of the Earthly Branch", the "Azure Lotus Banner", and the "Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner" to protect himself. He could manipulate earth, water, wind, and fire, making him impervious to all magic. The Heavenly Demon Emperor, who fought against him, could not even damage him.

Conversely, Master Xinghe wielded the deadly weapon, the "Xinghe Slaying Witch Blade," and relentlessly attacked the Heavenly Demon Emperor, leaving him in a sorry state.

On the other side, the Earth Demon Emperor had the upper hand in his battle with the Golden Spirit Mother. However, the Golden Spirit Mother was protected by the "Four Symbols Pagoda," so she was not at a disadvantage and was still able to hold him off.

On the battlefield, after receiving news of the Immortal Devouring Demon Emperor's surrender, the Devouring Immortal Demon Clan knelt down and surrendered, making the situation increasingly unfavorable for the two Demon Emperors who had come to their aid.

When the Great Emperor of the North Pole, Ziwei, appeared on the battlefield, the Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Earthly Demon Emperor sighed and had no choice but to retreat. The two demon cities trembled in the air, and with a "boom," a spacetime tunnel was opened, and the two demon cities rushed into it one after the other.

Immediately, it disappeared.

Thus, in this battle on the southern continent, the Jie Sect achieved an unprecedented victory.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Earthly Demon Emperor did not return to their territories. Instead, they went to the Central Continent to prepare for the final battle with Demon Ancestor Rahu.

With the southern continent empty and no other demons offering large-scale resistance, the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven gave an order, and the important figures of the Heavenly Court and the Jie Sect each occupied a state to maintain their rule.

This time, all the great supernatural beings of the Jie Sect came out, including the three holy mothers, Jinling Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, and Guiling Shengmu, who led an army of millions and went to the territory of the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

Meanwhile, Fairy Yunxiao, Fairy Qiongxiao, Fairy Bixiao, Zhao Gongming, and Fairy Caiyun maintained the territory of the Devouring Immortals Demon Clan. They also had tens of millions of troops at their disposal, along with powerful beings from the Heavenly Court to assist them. In addition, the Devouring Immortals Demon Emperor and other demon experts who had surrendered were enough to stabilize the situation.

Kong Xuan and Yu Yixian, along with Wu Yunxian, Jin Guangxian, Qiu Shouxian, Ling Yaxian, and other experts, led a large army to pacify the territory of "Hell City".

While other forces were in a state of chaos, the armies of the Jie Sect and the Heavenly Court had essentially ended the war.

As for the spoils of war, besides the largest sect, the Jie Sect had one-tenth of its territory in the Southern Continent, which was given as rewards to the small and medium-sized forces and rogue immortals who joined the Jie Sect's coalition.

As for the Heavenly Court, it's naturally impossible for it to manage the Southern Continent.

The Heavenly Court is nominally the ruler of the four realms: Heaven, Demon, Immortal, and the Netherworld, and governs everything.

Having a great cause is enough. The Heavenly Court can intervene in various forces at any time. This is why the Chaos Dao Lord firmly controls the Heavenly Court. This power is the sword hanging over the heads of various sects and forces. This sword will not be used easily, but that doesn't mean it will never fall.

Within just a few days, news of victory arrived from the southern continent.

All forces were shocked, and even the great sages who were still in the chaos looked at each other in dismay.

At this moment, only the Tongtian Sect Leader laughed heartily, extremely pleased with himself.

As for Chaos Dao Lord, he had no time to care about this issue at all; he was only one step away from becoming a Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal.

Before the final battle in the Demon Realm, Chaos Dao Lord needs to complete his final transformation. A half-step Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal is not enough to gain an advantage in the contest with a Saint.

One-fifth of the Demon Realm's territory is simply not enough to satisfy the appetite of the Jie Sect!

At this moment, the most anxious force is Buddhism.

Bhaisajyaguru Buddha was defeated and seriously wounded. Most of the twelve divine generals under this Buddha were killed or wounded, and almost all of the 84,000 Yaksha followers also perished.

This time, Bhaisajyaguru Buddha went to great lengths, but unexpectedly, he ended up like this.

The Buddhist forces are almost withdrawing from the Western Continent, only temporarily stabilizing their position in the Western Desert. The message for help has already been transmitted back to Xiniuhe Continent through the Dark Rift Valley.

When this message reached the Great Thunder Temple, the Sandalwood Merit Buddha, the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha, and the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva looked at each other and smiled; their goal had been achieved.

"Since the Medicine Buddha is in trouble, we cannot stand idly by."

Having summoned all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit recounted the battle situation in the Demon Realm, and then uttered these words.

"Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha is merciful."

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas responded.

"However, this matter is of great importance, and this humble monk must first go to the 'Paradise' to tell the two leaders."

The Sandalwood Merit Buddha spoke solemnly.

In fact, there was only one goal: to take advantage of the fact that the demon army had to step up its efforts and kill the leader of the Eastern Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli, who was vying with him for power in Buddhism, before reinforcements arrived.

This guy actually dared to call himself a leader of a sect, which shows how ambitious he is. People like him have long been a thorn in the side of both local and foreign forces within Buddhism.

This is an unforgivable mistake!

"The Buddha's words are reasonable! The demon race is now powerful, and our Buddhist army has suffered heavy losses. We must choose a strong Buddhist force to enter the demon realm to relieve the siege."

The Great Sun Buddha, knowing the profound meaning of the Sandalwood Merit Buddha, also stalled for time, saying, "In the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, our Buddhist sect still has a hidden force. At this time, we request the leaders of the two sects to allow them to fight."

"The Buddha of Great Sun is right!"

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva nodded in agreement. In any case, none of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were in a hurry. Only the Arhats and Vajras below were anxious because their level was too low. They were eager to help Bhaisajyaguru Buddha out of his predicament.

As for the ancient Western religions such as the Saha world, although the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were not satisfied, the three leaders of Buddhism did not say they would not save them, and their reasons were quite sufficient.

I seek the wisdom of the sages; surely this choice cannot be wrong?

Who dares to refute this?

And so, a grand meeting was held in the "Great Thunder Temple" for three days and three nights.

After making perfect arrangements in all aspects, the Sandalwood Merit Buddha left the Great Thunder Temple and slowly rode on auspicious clouds towards Chaos.

Half a day later, the head of the Buddhist sect finally arrived at the "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss." He told the young novice monks beside the two saints his purpose, and then asked the young novice monks to go and inform them.

Under normal circumstances, as the head of Buddhism, the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit would give an order, and the young novice would not dare to ask his purpose. This time, in order to buy time, he became amiable and talked with the young novice for a few minutes.

"Buddha, please follow me. The two religious leaders invite you."

After a while, the young novice monk came out and invited the Sandalwood Merit Buddha to pay homage to the leader.

"Amitabha! Please lead the way."

The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss—how familiar is the Buddha with the merits of sandalwood!

However, the young novice monk was still allowed to lead the way, because he was only at the Golden Immortal realm. With such cultivation, he naturally couldn't fly fast in the vast Blissful World.

Upon arriving at the leader's monastery, it would naturally take a considerable amount of time.

With all these schemes, the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit was truly painstaking. His sole purpose was to kill the Medicine Buddha!

Once this hidden danger is eliminated, Buddhism can unite again.

This is not just his will; most people in Buddhism oppose the original Western religious doctrines, which distinguish between their own and outsiders' theories.

Even Amitabha Buddha and Cundi Buddha subtly gave pointers to Bhaisajyaguru Buddha and other Western Buddhas, but unfortunately these people were blinded by jealousy and lost their wisdom.

They believed that only by purifying Buddhism could it flourish again.

The Hinayana Buddhism that Shakyamuni Buddha spoke of is a malignant tumor and a scourge to Buddhism.

Even the disciple of Shakyamuni Buddha, the Sandalwood Buddha, was an outsider, whose character was insufficient to assume the position of the head of Buddhism.

If it weren't for the assistance of Vairocana Buddha, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and the many Buddhas from the Jie Sect who had joined Buddhism, this Sandalwood Merit Buddha might not have been able to seize the position of the leader of Buddhism.

It was precisely because they saw this huge hidden danger that people like the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit, the Buddha of Great Sun, and the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra tried every means to get rid of the Buddha of Medicine. This was not just a matter of personal grudges.

When it comes to the development of sectarianism, both saints tacitly approved of their actions.

However, no matter how slow the Sandalwood Merit Buddha's movements were, there was always an end to the road. Before long, he had arrived at the Eight Treasures Merit Pool and was waiting for the decrees of the two religious leaders.

Time is of the essence, and the Buddhist army in the demon realm could be annihilated at any moment.

Under these circumstances, Cundi Buddha Mother did not waste any words and directly said to Chandana Merit Buddha: "I am already aware of the current situation in the Demon Realm. Ten Quasi-Saints will be transferred from the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss to your command. In addition, ten Quasi-Saints will be sent to you from the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain Xieyue Sanxing Cave in Xiniu Hezhou. You will then transfer ten Quasi-Saints from Xiniu Hezhou, making a total of thirty Buddhas to help save the Buddhist army."

"Yes! Your disciple will obey the sage's decree."

The Sandalwood Merit Buddha felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that the sage was in a hurry and that there was no possibility of further delay.

This matter concerns the overall situation, and he is unwilling to see the Buddhist sect defeated. However, finding a balance in the situation and killing the Medicine Buddha is something that must be accomplished.

Even if the strength of Buddhism is weakened, as long as the destabilizing factors are eliminated, Buddhism will last for thousands of generations. As long as the saints and the sects exist, there will be a moment when it will rise again sooner or later!

This resolve cannot be changed!

After receiving the decree, the Sandalwood Merit Buddha, carrying the ten Buddhas given to him by the Cundi Buddha Mother, left the "Pure Land" and headed towards the Earthly Immortal Realm.

"well……"

Only at this moment did Amitabha Buddha open his eyes and sigh.

"Senior brother, there's nothing we can do about it!"

Cundi Buddha Mother shook her head slightly; how could she not feel good about it?

Both sides are equally dear to us. The Western Sect was founded by two saints, but the obsessions of Bhaisajyaguru Buddha and others were too deep. Even with the vastness of Buddhism, they could not comprehend it.

With the conflict escalating to this point, choosing one side is the only option, making it a difficult decision.

After the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit departed, he led ten Buddhas into the Western Continent of Niuhe. Instead of returning to the Great Thunderclap Temple, he went directly to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, where he intended to personally escort the ten Quasi-Saints back. (End of Chapter)
