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

A peerless sword beam, along with the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, strikes together!

In an instant, it tore apart both of the Buddha's backup plans!

"ah!!!"

The Great Sun Buddha let out a piercing scream as his entire body shattered into pieces and exploded.

Even a top expert like him would find it difficult to withstand the combined attack of Jinling Shengmu and Zhao Gongming!

"The golden crow transforms into a rainbow, covering ten thousand miles in an instant!"

The Great Sun Buddha let out a miserable cry, and the golden relic that had been thrown out rolled up his magic weapon and soared into the sky!

Behind him, a tremor arose, and an endless sea of ​​infernal fire formed walls of fire, blocking the path of the Golden Spirit Mother and Zhao Gongming.

"Damn it! Where do you think you're going?"

Golden Spirit Mother and Zhao Gongming attacked simultaneously, extinguishing the walls of fire in front of them, and continued their pursuit upwards.

"Damn it! These two are too formidable! I used every trick in the book, yet I was still no match for them!"

The Great Sun Buddha was extremely frustrated. He hadn't expected that even using three supreme treasures—a powerful weapon, a formation diagram, and a travel artifact—he still couldn't defeat the Golden Spirit Mother and Zhao Gongming despite setting up a temporary trap.

This absolutely drove him crazy!

As for the destruction of his physical body, the Great Sun Buddha did not seem to care much.

Once we escape, we can simply refine another true body.

Now that the Heavenly Emperor's treasure is there to support him, the Great Sun Buddha is truly unafraid of injury. As long as he lives, everything can be rebuilt.

"How can this guy move so fast?"

Jinling Shengmu and Zhao Gongming had just chased out of the ground, but looking around, there was no trace of the relics of the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha.

"Senior sister, what should we do? If we don't get rid of Lu Ya today, he will surely threaten our Jie Sect disciples in the future."

Zhao Gongming's face was still grim. He never expected that after going to such great lengths, he would still let that flat-haired beast Lu Ya escape.

"It's alright! Let's go back for now and crush the Great Yuan Empire first! As for Lu Ya, we'll make him pay sooner or later!"

Forcibly suppressing her anger, the Golden Spirit Mother spoke with a livid face.

Today, I was injured by Lu Ya, and this feud has now been established.

In the future, I will definitely settle the score with Lu Ya!

"Alright! That's the only way."

Zhao Gongming said sullenly.

The two boarded the "Seven Fragrances Carriage" again and headed towards the Great Yuan Empire in the Southern Continent.

At this moment, there were no more members of the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" on the battlefield. The Jie Sect had achieved a great victory in this great battle.

Even the immortals were defeated. Seeing this, the soldiers of the Great Yuan Empire knew they had lost, and they scattered in all directions, each fleeing for their lives.

Soon, the powerful disciples of the Jie Sect who had been pursuing all sides returned.

This time, the powerful masters of the Jie Sect showed no mercy, relentlessly pursuing and killing most of the members of the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance".

Tens of thousands of corpses were left behind.

Three or four quasi-saint level experts perished here.

At this moment, after the immortals of the Jie Sect had finished counting their numbers, the Golden Spirit Mother came before Lin Lingsu and Liu Bowen and his disciple, and said, "The alliance of the Witch, Buddha, and Demon has collapsed. As immortals, we should not interfere too much in the matter of dynastic changes. This place is to be handled by Liu Bowen. The rest of you should return to your caves and focus on your cultivation."

"Yes! We will obey the decree of our senior sister (elder sister/master) (grandmaster)!"

Lin Lingsu, Liu Bowen, and a group of Jie Sect immortals solemnly accepted the order.

Soon, the immortals of the Jie Sect dispersed.

Only the Ming Dynasty navy was left to cross the Yangtze River again and occupy the north bank.

In the end, only Lin Lingsu and Liu Bowen remained in the thatched hut of the Jie Sect.

As a teacher, Lin Lingsu naturally had things to tell Liu Bowen.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Lingsu said, "At this point, with the defeat of the Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance, it's only a matter of time before the Great Yuan Empire is destroyed by the Great Ming."

"Yes. This disciple understands."

Liu Bowen nodded. After such a great victory, the Yuan Empire was definitely doomed.

"After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the struggle in the realm of immortals had only just begun. Zhu Yuanzhang was no benevolent man."

Lin Lingsu continued, "Disciple, I must tell you to be wary of Zhu Yuanzhang. What happened last time must never happen again! The calamity of the end of Dharma has begun, and the immortals of our Jie Sect cannot continue to descend to the mortal world. Many things require the power of a mortal dynasty."

"Yes, teacher! I understand!"

Liu Bowen looked solemn and, after thinking for a moment, explained, "Your Majesty was previously misled by Li Shanchang and others, but now you know to stay away from treacherous people and be close to virtuous ministers."

"Ugh!"

Upon hearing Liu Bowen's words, Lin Lingsu sighed inwardly, realizing that her disciple seemed to trust Zhu Yuanzhang too much.

I'm afraid I'll suffer losses in the future!

However, the disciple is an adult with his own thoughts, and cannot be forcibly changed.

Only when Liu Bowen suffers another loss will he see Zhu Yuanzhang's true colors.

With that in mind, Lin Lingsu stopped mentioning Zhu Yuanzhang.

"This calamity is different from the previous three. The four continents of the Earthly Immortal Realm may be unified. Our Jie Sect has staked its fortunes on the Ming Dynasty, so you must keep a close eye on Zhu Yuanzhang!"

"In this great calamity, our Jie Sect will pay an incredibly heavy price! You must ensure that the final spoils of victory are not stolen by other forces!"

Lin Lingsu's voice grew increasingly stern; the plan had already begun.

It's impossible to stop now; we need to find a new agent.

Since it involves the interests of the entire Jie Sect, even repeated warnings are not excessive.

Hearing his teacher's earnest words, Liu Bowen immediately felt immense pressure, and a wave of tension washed over him.

This major event began when he assisted Zhu Yuanzhang.

It has a similar feel to the Western Zhou Dynasty's replacement of the Shang Dynasty.

This great calamity has already claimed the lives of so many powerful beings, even in its very prelude.

What will it look like when the climax of that massacre arrives?

"Sages, the Primordial Chaos beings will definitely make a move, won't they?"

This thought flashed through Liu Bowen's mind.

Seeing that her disciple was listening attentively, Lin Lingsu continued, "I am preparing to return to the mountain. I entrust all matters here to you, and you will also be in charge of wielding the God-Slaying Whip. My disciple, you must be very careful."

"Yes! Thank you for your care, teacher. I understand!"

Upon receiving the "God-Slaying Whip," Liu Bowen's expression turned solemn. He felt an immense weight on his shoulders. From now on, whether for the sake of the Ming Dynasty or the Jie Sect, he would have to be cautious in his words and actions, walking on thin ice, carefully maintaining a balance between the two sides.

Lin Lingsu gave her disciple a deep look before riding away on a cloud.

I wonder if this disciple is capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Jie Sect!

That Zhu Yuanzhang is cunning and treacherous; it seems that this disciple of mine is no match for him!

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore! It's a pity I didn't foresee this back then, otherwise, if I had entrusted my disciple to Shen Gongbao for a while, he probably wouldn't have been so obedient."

With things having come to this point, there was nothing more to be done but to take it one step at a time. Lin Lingsu could only slowly return to "Wuyishan".

"Teacher! I will complete the sect's mission! I will not let you or the sect leader down!"

As he watched his teacher disappear into the clouds, Liu Bowen's gaze gradually hardened.

Without the help of the Western Buddhas, the Witch Clan's experts, and the powerful beings of the Dragon Clan and Ghost Clan, the morale of the Yuan Empire's soldiers plummeted.

No one could stop the mighty Ming army anymore.

This time, things went even more smoothly than the last major battle.

The Yuan Dynasty's army was truly routed at the first touch.

Even with the unparalleled general Wang Baobao's best efforts to resist, it couldn't stop mortals from fearing immortals.

Without the support of Buddhism, the Tantric sect has long since disappeared, with its temples deserted. Phagpa, the Grand Preceptor of the Yuan Dynasty, has vanished since the last great war.

The people of the Great Yuan Empire searched countless times, but the "Sakya sect" had long since vanished.

In just five years, the Yuan Dynasty collapsed completely.

The current emperor has long since led his people away from Dadu, heading north to flee to another country.

Dadu is currently under the defense of General Timur, buying time for the Yuan emperor to escape. At the same time, this is also to ensure that those who should be sacrificed are left behind for the downfall of a powerful dynasty.

In the past five years, the entire Yuan Empire has been conquered by the Ming army. At this time, the Ming Empire has a vast territory and has begun to digest the newly occupied lands.

The Ming army, which was conquering various places, also began to converge on Dadu from all directions.

In the sixth year, General Lan Yu led an army of five million to the capital.

The army set up camp and rested briefly before preparing to attack Dadu.

This time, most of the immortals from the Jie Sect left, with only some recruited by Zhu Yuanzhang and some wandering immortals who voluntarily joined them serving in the army.

There were also some Qi practitioners in Dadu who were loyal to the court. In addition, Dadu was the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. It was tall and sturdy. For a time, the Ming army suffered heavy losses and found it difficult to take the city in a short period of time.

After half a year of effort and heavy losses, they still failed to capture Dadu. Both General Lan Yu and Liu Bowen, who had accompanied the army on the expedition, were getting anxious.

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang issued one imperial edict after another, all inquiring about the war situation at the front.

Judging from the contents of the imperial edict, Zhu Yuanzhang was clearly running out of patience.

If they still can't win, changing commanders on the spot might be a possibility.

This result was unacceptable to Lan Yu. Such tremendous merit could not be allowed to slip away at the end of the war!

At this moment, Lan Yu and his men were anxious, and Timur in Dadu was also extremely worried. With such an intense siege, the army inside the city had suffered heavy losses, and it was unknown how long they could hold out.

After being besieged for half a year, the people in the city were filled with fear and panic. Even the high monks of the Sakya school were defeated and fled, and many people had the idea of ​​surrendering.

Seven days later, the gates of Dadu, which had not yet been captured, were wide open.

At this critical moment, Timur was betrayed by his own men and beheaded, and the army chose to surrender.

"Hahaha! I never expected that Dadu would fall so easily!"

Lan Yu was overjoyed to see this.

His pressure was finally relieved, and he could report the victory to the imperial court.

The fall of the Great Yuan Empire shook the entire Southern Continent.

The Ming Empire was stronger than ever before.

Less than three years later, it launched attacks on the surrounding countries, seemingly determined not to give up until it had achieved its goal of unifying the Southern Continent.

Under such circumstances, the surrounding countries are filled with fear.

Many countries relied on the Jie Sect as their backing, and at this time, they all found their own backers and wanted to maintain their power.

However, the instructions had already been passed down within the Jie Sect.

They are strictly forbidden from participating in matters concerning the change of secular dynasties.

At most, these royal families, aristocratic clans, and minor sects that were deeply connected with the Jie Sect could be granted amnesty by the Ming Dynasty and would not be purged or have their family lineage affected.

Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally dissatisfied with this move.

However, on this matter, both Liu Bowen and the ministers and generals in the court insisted on granting amnesty.

If we were to attack each of the hundreds of large and small countries in Jambudvipa one by one and wipe out their royal families, how fierce would the resistance be?

How much risk did these generals face?

If they are willing to surrender, and we grant them amnesty, wouldn't it be better for everything to transition smoothly?

Who can slaughter all their opponents like a madman?

In particular, those royal families and aristocratic families are not to be underestimated. They possess the power of immortality and are deeply connected with the Jie Sect. Some members of the royal family and direct descendants of these families even cultivate within the Jie Sect.

Killing such an opponent would mean offending a bunch of people without even knowing why.

You, Zhu Yuanzhang, have gone mad, but we haven't!

It hasn't been long since the last time they turned against the Jie Sect. Everyone can clearly see what the Ming Empire would be like without the Jie Sect.

If this happens again, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty be doomed?

While the Ming Empire was unifying the Southern Continent, a decisive battle was also taking place in the Eastern Continent.

Since the Jie Sect members cannot participate in the affairs of Dongsheng Shenzhou, the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" must find a way to defeat the Human Sect and completely occupy Dongsheng Shenzhou.

The unification of the Ming Empire was a signal.

The battle situation in Beiju Luzhou has also escalated, with frequent large-scale battles between the Wu and Yao tribes, seemingly indicating that another Wu-Yao war is about to break out.

Meanwhile, in Xiniuhezhou, forces such as the God Worshipping Society, the One True Society, and the Brahmanism, seeing the Buddhist sect's defeat in Jambudvipa, immediately seized the opportunity and chose to take action against the Buddhist sect.

Over the years, Chaos Daoist has lived in seclusion in the "Boundless Chaos Heaven" and has begun to re-examine the relationship between himself and his clones.

The ruthless path was definitely not what he wanted, but the incident of his clone being triggered by the inner demon tribulation must not happen again.

Such a drawback is extremely dangerous in a closely contested battle.

"Shangqing Immortal Techniques", "Yuqing Immortal Techniques", "Taiqing Immortal Techniques", "Zhutian Thunder Techniques", "The Way of Creation", "Bodhi Great Techniques", "The Great Techniques of Nirvana", "The Supreme True Demon Scripture", "The Great Way of the World", "The Three Corpses Techniques"...

Over the years, Chaos Dao Lord has cultivated too many systems, including those of the Primordial Limitless Saint and the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal. He has touched upon almost everything that is useful.

Now, the Chaos Dao Lord's body radiates brilliant light, and his colorful divine powers, immortal techniques, great Dao, and laws form runes.

Each rune represents a Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal's understanding of the Great Dao.

It is an unparalleled opportunity.

If a quasi-saint with great supernatural powers were to obtain such runes and comprehend their principles, it might be possible to achieve the Primordial Chaos Realm. (End of Chapter)
