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

Chapter 222 One thought can make you a Buddha, one thought can make you a demon.

"Amitabha!!!" The Buddha Tathagata made his move, and boundless Buddha light illuminated the entire Xiniu Hezhou, the golden light filled with a sense of peace and tranquility.

Buddha-nature is in flux!

Golden characters hang high in the sky.

Wutian appeared before Buddha, stepping on the Black Lotus of Annihilation. Boundless demonic energy surged and intertwined, the power of the Black Lotus combined with Wutian's own power.

Countless evil thoughts from heaven and earth converged upon Wutian, and the power of demons clashed with the power of Buddhahood.

"Wu Tian, ​​the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but there is always a shore to return to!!" Buddha said, his voice resounding throughout the primordial world. As a quasi-saint, Buddha's strength was naturally not weak.

"Turning back is the shore? Where is the shore? All I see is an endless sea of ​​suffering and hell." Wutian said in a deep voice, his long black hair dancing in the wind, accompanied by boundless evil thoughts.

The many Buddhist disciples and grandchildren on Mount Ling were affected by the demonic power. Their originally peaceful and serene faces became extremely ferocious, like evil spirits in hell, and they all turned into terrifying demons.

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. Wutian, you still have a chance." Buddha said in a deep voice, looking at Wutian with a glint of light in his eyes.

Buddha? What is Buddha? Can a good person who has done good deeds all their life not become a Buddha if they do one bad deed?

Is it possible for a wicked person who has done bad things their whole life to become a Buddha by doing just one good deed?

"What kind of Buddha is this?" Wutian asked the Buddha sternly.

The Buddha remained silent and looked at Wutian.

What is Buddha? What is demon? These are artificial definitions; there has never been a true Buddha or a true demon.

It all depends on the person.

"You want to talk about Buddha? I am the real Buddha, and you guys are nothing but hypocritical fake Buddhas!!" Wutian's voice rang out.

The boundless demonic nature transformed into boundless Buddha-nature, even more intense than the Buddha's Buddha-nature.

One thought can make you a Buddha, another a demon!

Buddha and demon are merely a matter of a single thought in Wutian's mind.

Seeing this, Buddha fell silent. What is Buddha? What is Mara? Is there anyone better than Buddha himself to understand the essence of these things?

The true Buddha and the true demon have never existed.

This does not exist in this world. According to the true Buddha, everything should be done in a virtuous way. No matter who insults you, you should protect others and treat them with kindness. This is the true Buddha.

But who in this world can do that?

There is no one, so there is no true Buddha in the world, or perhaps it is just a false Buddha.

In essence, Buddha and demon are just names for the same kind of power.

Immortals, gods, demons, Buddhas, ghosts, and monsters are all just names that differentiate people based on their power.

Wutian looked at the Buddha.

The Buddha-nature within him transformed into boundless demonic nature—a demon Buddha!

"If I become a Buddha, there will be no demons in the world; if I become a demon, there will be no Buddhas in the world!!" Wutian's eyes were filled with boundless depth, and demonic power surged continuously, intertwining with heaven and earth.

The Buddha's light was suppressed, and the entire Ling Mountain was plunged into boundless darkness.

Wutian took a step forward and appeared in the main hall of Lingshan.

The countless Buddhas watched Wutian walk in step by step, but they were powerless to do anything about it; the Buddha's light had no effect on Wutian at all.

The difference between the demon and the Buddha is merely a matter of a single thought.

"Amitabha Buddha!!!" The Buddha uttered a Buddhist chant, and his body gradually disintegrated, finally transforming into a relic and disappearing into the hall.

Wutian looked at the reincarnated Buddha with a hint of scorn in his eyes. To Wutian, the reincarnation of Buddha was just a minor episode.

Even if Buddha were to be reincarnated, what difference would it make?

In the end, it was Wutian who got this position.

"Wu Tian, ​​stop your insolence! This is Mount Ling!" Guanyin said to Wu Tian.

Wutian looked at Guanyin, and with a wave of his palm, Guanyin was sent flying backward.

"I am the true Buddha!!" Wutian said in a deep voice, and sat on the golden lotus platform.

The Buddha-nature and demonic nature within him constantly intertwine, creating a dazzling yet fleeting spectacle.

Sometimes the boundless chanting of Buddhist scriptures could be heard, and sometimes the boundless howling of demonic scriptures could be heard!

Behind Wutian, worlds surged and shattered, constantly shifting between Buddha and demon.

"How will you choose?" Wutian looked at the Buddhas and Sages in the main hall.

Wutian had no affection for any of these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The only one he truly liked was Tang Sanzang. As for the other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas...

Wu Tian felt nothing at all.

The reason is simple: Tang Sanzang is the only one known to have obtained the true scriptures through reincarnation. As for the other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, well, that's hard to say.

"Wu Tian, ​​don't even think about it," Tang Sanzang said to Wu Tian, ​​and then took action.

The other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas also took action.

As for the outcome, they could be directly plundered, and all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas would be wiped out, their cultivation stripped away by Wutian.

Throughout the western lands, the Buddha's light began to dissipate, and demonic power permeated the land.

What was originally a paradise bathed in the light of Buddha has been transformed into a haven for countless demons.

These demons were all transformed from the disciples and grandchildren of Buddha by Wutian.

The power of demons and the power of Buddhas are like light and darkness; they are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. The saying "one thought can make you a Buddha, one thought can make you a demon" perfectly describes this.

The fall of the West caused countless powerful beings to feel a sense of disbelief, but they quickly recovered.

Although the West has two sages, these two sages are incapable of interfering in the affairs of the primordial world, which is why Wutian was able to achieve this level of power.

It's also because of the existence of other sages; to put it bluntly, it's about maintaining a balance.

Western sages dared not be the first to break the balance, which is why they did not take action.

Those with profound understanding of these things will simply treat it as entertainment; Buddhism is destined to return, it's just a matter of time.

Buddhism will certainly not disappear like this, and that's unrealistic.

If the Buddhist sects in the primordial world cannot deal with Wutian, then Zhunti and Jieyin will naturally take direct action, and this is no joke.

The lineage of the sages cannot be destroyed unless the sages themselves perish.

This is why those with great supernatural powers watched with amusement as the Buddhist sect of Mount Ling transformed into the demonic sect it is today.

The primordial world ultimately belonged to the sages. Even without heaven, it could not stir up much trouble.

Chaos Island!!

"Just who is this Wutian?" Xuanming asked Di Fang with some curiosity.

Although Wutian was extraordinary, he was nothing compared to veteran quasi-saints like Xuanming. He was just curious as to why Wutian was able to conquer Mount Ling so quickly.

"Wu Tian was originally a Kinnara of Buddhism, but due to the injustice of Buddhism, he eventually fell into demonic ways and has now become a Buddhist demon. His strength in the dual cultivation of Buddhism and demon is incomparable to that of an ordinary quasi-saint. Moreover, his primordial spirit has been fused with the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus. As long as the black lotus is not destroyed, he will not die," Di Fang said slowly.

"I see." Xuanming nodded in agreement.

"However, Wutian is also a person destined for tribulation, which can be considered a great calamity for Buddhism," Di Fang said with a smile.

"The rise and fall of Buddhism is quite interesting," Xuanming said with a smile. He didn't seem to have much of a reaction to the Buddhist sect's words.

Such things were just minor incidents in the prehistoric world.

It's not a really big deal.
