Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I pioneered a divine kingdom of faith.

Chapter 197 The Demon Realm, The Struggle Between Demon and Buddha

"Fate has befallen me, granting me immortality," Yuexi uttered softly.

A strange scene unfolded: the Eternal Spear stopped in front of Moonbeam, as if it could no longer reach its target.

Odin reached out and summoned the Spear of Eternity back.

His eyes held a solemnity, an aura of destiny.

Odin was not surprised at all, after all, the three Fates of Norse mythology had foretold the existence of Ragnarok, and fate is a concept in Norse mythology.

And it will also come true.

Above the sky, endless lightning intertwined.

Yuexi glanced at it and realized that the world's will, emboldened by Norse mythology, was trying to kill her.

Countless bolts of lightning struck.

Yuexi showed no intention of retreating. Thunderbolts struck, each bolt powerful enough to destroy an ancient mountain range, but to Yuexi, these bolts had no effect whatsoever.

"Kill!" Yuexi shouted softly, took a step forward, and appeared in front of Odin. Her slender white fingers shone with endless divine light.

Terrifying beams of true dragon divine light burst forth.

Odin, wielding the Spear of Eternity, clashed with the moon and the sun.

The Norse gods watched this scene with horror in their eyes, witnessing the endless divine lightning and Odin's spear of eternity radiating boundless divine light.

An endless tide of magic was surging.

Yuexi's body radiated boundless power, and every move she made possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth.

The war lasted for hundreds of years.

The story ends with Yuexi leaving the world of Norse mythology.

The Norse gods also breathed a sigh of relief.

The combat power displayed by the Moon Goddess was so extraordinary that even the Norse gods were somewhat overwhelmed.

Now that Yuexi has retreated, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Odin returned to the Silver Hall, his eyes filled with an immense heaviness.

He knew very well that Yuexi's retreat was not out of fear of him, but rather that she had left voluntarily. If she hadn't left, Odin would have been powerless to stop her...

The abilities of the other world are too bizarre.

Just like with the same abilities, the other world is always far superior to that of the Norse gods.

This is an application of ability.

Just like Thor and Lei Yue, both are based on the laws of lightning, but in reality, it's not that simple.

Those at the same level rely on their own understanding of the laws.

Relatively speaking, there are not many beings in the primordial world who utilize the Law of Thunder. In short, it's a matter of intense competition. Among beings of the same realm, the contest depends on who has a deeper understanding of the Law.

The world of Norse mythology, while not necessarily having a comfortable environment, is far too peaceful compared to the primordial world.

This is due to the differences in the world.

The world of Norse mythology is not as competitive as the prehistoric world.

Wild world.

The emperor looked towards Flower Fruit Mountain.

A deafening sound rang out.

A monkey was born, a divine embryo nurtured by the five-colored stones left over from Nuwa's patching of the sky.

Sun Wukong can be considered a second-generation descendant with a very strong lineage.

When the Heavenly Emperor Haotian saw Sun Wukong's birth, he knew that a new calamity was coming. This was also because Zhunti and Jieyin from the West had come to give him a special greeting.

Not only the Heavenly Court, but also the Dragon Clan, the Underworld, Zhunti and Jieyin went to make arrangements to have them act alongside Sun Wukong.

Of course, this came at a considerable cost, and that's no joke.

It should be understood that neither the Heavenly Court, the Dragon Clan, nor the Underworld are easy to deal with, and neither Zhunti nor Jieyin can use their status as saints to suppress them.

Aside from the Heavenly Court, who would be afraid of you, Zhunti and Jieyin?

It's like everyone has a saint. The ancestral dragon of the dragon race is still alive, and so is Pingxin of the underworld.

Therefore, one can imagine the enormous price that Zhunti and Jieyin paid.

This is also why the Imperials did not have any designs on Sun Wukong.

After all, the West has already paid such a high price, so naturally, if they want Sun Wukong, the price the Imperials will have to pay will certainly not be low.

"This monkey is really pitiful," Xuanming said slowly.

Di Fang nodded. It wasn't surprising that Xuan Ming could see it. Xuan Ming was considered an ultimate veteran quasi-saint, although he couldn't predict the secrets of heaven.

However, some cause and effect can still be observed.

From the moment of his birth, Sun Wukong's karma became inextricably linked with Buddhism.

"It's pitiful, but it's also a good thing for him," Di Fang said with a smile.

Xuanming looked towards the Emperor.

"Becoming a disciple of a sage is no easy task, and as long as he isn't schemed against, becoming a Great Luo Immortal is practically guaranteed," Di Fang said slowly.

Sun Wukong's final achievement was becoming the Victorious Fighting Buddha of Buddhism, but he had to avoid being tricked by the Taoists beforehand.

It should be noted that the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods was only ten thousand years ago.

All three branches of Taoism were tricked by Buddhism.

In the original story, Sun Wukong developed his Fiery Eyes in Laozi's alchemy furnace, but in reality, he was ruined because he consumed too many pills and peaches of immortality.

It seems like a good thing, but actually it wasn't. Sun Wukong's potential was completely wasted in the alchemy furnace.

Otherwise, Sun Wukong's achievement would not have been limited to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

It should be noted that Sun Wukong only became a Da Luo after completing the journey to the West. This was because he completed the great calamity, and the Heavenly Dao bestowed upon him the merit that made him a Da Luo.

To reiterate, Sun Wukong is indeed pitiful, but if we're talking about truly pitiful beings, there are many more pitiful than him.

It was mainly a struggle between Buddhism and Taoism.

Sun Wukong became a victim, tricked and wasted his potential before it could be fully developed.

Similarly, the great calamity of the Journey to the West is just the beginning; the real calamity is yet to come, and that is when the great calamity truly begins.

That is the battle between the demon and the Buddha!

The journey to the West is a great calamity; the pilgrimage itself is only halfway through. The real calamity is yet to come.

The birth of the demon race.

Among the myriad races of the primordial world, there exists a demon race, known as the extraterrestrial demons. They are not beings from other worlds, but rather reside in the Demon Realm.

The Demon Realm was evolved from the Demon Ancestor Rahu himself. Countless demons were born in the Demon Realm, and these demons are also called extraterrestrial demons.

The most terrifying of these is the inner demon. After the birth of the demon race, the cultivation of immortal beings in Hongqi became more dangerous, and they had to be on guard against the invasion of those inner demons at all times.

These inner demons are invisible and exist in the heart of every cultivator.

This is what they mean by "going astray in cultivation".

Besides the inner demons, there are also terrifying extraterrestrial demons, who are considered the most powerful beings among the demon race.

The demon race is divided into many groups, but the strongest is the Heavenly Demon race.

The conflict between the demon and the Buddha refers to the emergence of the demon realm.

Before the Investiture of the Gods, the three major Taoist sects might have intervened in this matter, but now, none of them have any intention of intervening.

Anyway, the demon realm was born in the west.

Before the birth of Zhunti and Jieyin, that place was the territory of the demon ancestor Rahu. It only became the territory of Buddhism after Rahu died and Zhunti and Jieyin became saints.

If the Demon Realm were to emerge, the Western Lands would undoubtedly be the first to be affected. Moreover, this is an era in which even saints cannot intervene; otherwise, the West would have nothing to fear even if the Demon Realm were to emerge.

But things are different now. Sages can't interfere in the affairs of the primordial world, and the emergence of the Demon Realm is also considered part of the primordial world, so the Buddhist sect has no choice but to bear it alone.

There is no longer a situation where a sage intervenes.

The conflict between the demons and the Buddhas became extremely fierce. The Buddhist sect was overthrown in the conflict, and Wutian ascended to the position of Buddha.

Speaking of this, we can say that the great calamity of Journey to the West can be divided into two stages: one is the stage of obtaining the scriptures before the great calamity of Journey to the West.

One is the stage of the struggle between demons and Buddhas after the completion of the Journey to the West.

The world of demons and Buddhas is quite cruel; countless Buddhist disciples have died, and even the Buddha himself was forced to reincarnate and start anew.

The losses should not be too great.

This is the complete calamity of the Journey to the West: the first half is the flourishing of Buddhism, and the second half is the emergence of the demon realm.

One can only say that every action has its own destiny.
