Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

Binglan only said one sentence, and so much was guessed.

She did not refute the opinions of the others—although she also felt that Chu Mingkong would find it difficult to achieve anything in a direct confrontation at this level, and might even drag the Palace Master down.

However, she chose to trust the palace master's decision.

......

A beam of golden light descended upon the dark world of Moonlight Arakawa, adding extra brightness to the place.

This beam of golden light, like a slowly drawn curtain, was about to divide the Moonlit Wild River in two, forming a marker line to separate the "territory".

Half of it belongs to the Heavenly Demon Emperor, and half belongs to the Ancient Ancestor Buddha.

This separation doesn't require them to consider anyone's opinion; they don't even bother to "greet" Chu Mingkong inside.

However, this golden light had only been out for a short time when it was extinguished by a black flame sword aura that swept across the Moonlit Wild River.

"How can you have no manners at all? You came in without saying a word and just turned on the lights?"

A colossal python leaped out from the desolate, moonlit river. Before its body was fully upright, its head was already looking down upon all living beings from the clouds.

Chu Mingkong casually sat cross-legged on the snake's head, his gaze meeting that of the two supreme beings.

Beyond the boundary of the Moonlit Wild River, the figures of the Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Ancient Ancestor Buddha gradually became clearer in the sky.

Within a cloud of bluish-green mist resembling poison, a robust male figure appeared. Beneath his dark blue skin were strong, muscular muscles, and his body radiated boundless vitality.

Her pale white hair hung down her back like a cloak, reaching her waist. When a strong wind blew, this head of white hair danced wildly and wildly.

Flames coiled around the two sharp horns on its head, and it could even be said that half of its face and half of its body were shrouded in dancing demonic fire.

From His body, Chu Mingkong could also vaguely sense a familiar aura of "trauma".

I couldn't help but think of the Corpse Immortal that Nongyu had mentioned.

Could it be that the Demon Emperor also tried to gain power from the Corpse Immortal's trials?!

On the other side, the golden cloud, radiating brilliant Buddhist light, condensed into a large golden Buddha statue.

When the dazzling golden light dissipated, the brilliant light gathered in the mind of the Buddha, making him seem like the only sun in the world, whose brilliance could not even rival the sun's.

Upon closer inspection, the light behind his head actually contains the profound essence of several major Buddhist symbols, vaguely evolving into a magnificent Buddhist kingdom like a mirage.

Sometimes he appears as countless Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Buddhist monks, and sometimes as countless Devas, Dragons, and other spirits.

It was like a scroll painting, recording which races had converted to Buddhism.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Ancient Buddha each occupied a corner of the sky, their two different and powerful auras seemingly dividing the sky into two halves.

This scene is reminiscent of the countless gods and Buddhas that fill the sky on the last day of the underworld.

In fact, the sense of oppression was even stronger than the original projection.

But Chu Mingkong remained in that lazy sitting posture and said:

"The pressure you put on me has lessened considerably, but you might think I'm bluffing, because even you can't sense my exact strength anymore."

Chu Mingkong's words struck a nerve with these two supreme beings.

"Could it be...!"

The Heavenly Demon Emperor murmured something, and with a flick of his massive, fiery hand, a demonic claw that pierced through the black tide appeared in the Moonlight Wasteland.

The demonic claw suddenly clenched, and for a moment, the power there was almost completely drained.

However, with Chu Mingkong stationed in the Moonlight Wasteland, the power belonging to this place was not shaken; only the few simulated goddess essences were taken away.

"Huh?! It's fake. Looks like you're quite clever, kid from the lower realm. You stole the real divine treasure here!"

The voice of the Heavenly Demon Emperor resounded throughout the heavens and earth, gradually penetrating both realms, and the entire region began to echo with their voices.

"That's strange, why aren't you guys angry?"

"You two were so smug, thinking I was the guardian of this sacred treasure, but now that you've discovered I secretly stole those power sources from your own confidant, you've taken the initiative and are still so calm!"

"Angry?" The Heavenly Demon Emperor sneered. "You think you've taken over these powers, but aren't you actually just keeping them safe for me? Even if I kill you, I can still take them back."

The ancient Buddha, with a dignified and majestic appearance, radiating great light, had already gathered terrifying power in his palms, yet he still spoke with compassion and calmness:

"If it's not meant to be, don't force it; you have no right to compete for these powers."

Originally, you could have been fortunate enough to enter my Buddhist sect and ascend to the rank of a wrathful king, but alas, you are stubborn and incorrigible, causing harm to Buddhism in every way. Therefore, you should be sent to the eighteenth level of hell to reincarnate and seek enlightenment.

The beings in the lower realms must also be informed of the circumstances of your death, as a warning and admonition: those who offend Buddhism will ultimately face karmic retribution.

Just now, the Heavenly Demon Emperor transmitted the commotion and sounds from this place to the surrounding region.

Now, the Ancient Buddha is projecting the scene at the Moonlit Wasteland onto the sky of the lower realm.

Chapter 262 Fighting Alone

area.

"Hey, look! Something's gotten a little strange in the sky."

"What nonsense are you talking about...wait, what is this?"

The children flying kites responded to the call and all looked up at the sky.

The sky was still the same sky, but strange changes began to appear in the clouds.

The white clouds in the azure sky transformed into human and Buddha shapes, and then into a giant python that reached the sky and stood upright.

If it were just a change in shape, it wouldn't be surprising. Clouds that have been drifting for countless years will eventually be blown into strange shapes for a day or two.

But as the children looked at them, they soon discovered that these uniquely shaped clouds became clearer and clearer, and eventually they even "came to life".

That day, the Demon Emperor and the Ancient Buddha clearly appeared in the Heavenly Realm, but at this moment, the boundary between the two seemed to have been opened, and the two supreme beings suddenly appeared in the sky above the Earthly Realm.

Both sides seemed to be enjoying the same space to themselves.

People in various places noticed this, but had no idea what had happened. They only felt that a divine being had appeared in the sky.

While no one recognized the Heavenly Demon Emperor, the majestic and righteous golden image of the Ancient Ancestor Buddha was known to all ordinary people.

I can't identify which Buddhist master this is, but I'm certain he's from the Buddhist community.

"Could this be a divine manifestation? Does Buddhism really possess such great power, so effective? This old man has never seen anything like it in his entire life. This is even more powerful than cultivators and immortals, isn't it?"

"Aren't Buddhists villains? Why are you worshipping them?"

"Who cares? We should at least pretend to worship first. Besides, if that Buddhist sect, which is like a den of evil, has such a powerful thief leader, shouldn't we be more careful?"

"But who is that green-skinned deity, and who is that riding the giant white python?"

Doubts began to rise, but in many places, people quickly recognized who the man riding the snake was, and quite a few people did.

From Xiling to the old Tianji Empire region, then to the entire New Moon Kingdom, and even throughout the Sword Dynasty, voices of surprise and doubt began to emerge.

"I'm not mistaken, is that His Highness...?"

"There's no mistake, it's His Highness! Where is he? In the heavens?"

In the Sword Emperor Dynasty, Balan accompanied Empress Ba as they walked out of the main hall and, together with the courtiers, looked up at the apocalyptic scene in the sky.

Ordinary people are probably able to watch the excitement and have fun because their spiritual veins are not yet open, which is equivalent to having closed senses.

However, those who had even a little bit of cultivation could feel immense pressure from this abruptly appearing scene.

A terrifying sense of helplessness arose in everyone's hearts, just like the helplessness of an ordinary person facing a tsunami hitting a coastal town and an earthquake shattering the earth.

This is the absolute awe-inspiring power emanating from those two supreme beings.

"What is this...where did this sight come from?" Queen Ba took a deep breath.

"Unimaginable power, is this really a realm that cultivation can reach? It directly reflects the scene in the sky... Let's go, the Daoist sect should know some inside information."

Balan paled slightly, but quickly regained his composure and made a decision for Queen Balan.

The two of them passed through the teleportation array and instantly arrived at the Kunlun Dao Sect.

Within the Taoist community, Taoist priests gazing at the sky like they had just done were a common sight.

Balan was soon led by her disciple to meet Yao Ji, and she immediately asked Yao Ji about the situation.

"Miss Yaoji, what is that in the sky...?"

"That is the great enemy Your Highness is facing, the overlords of the Heavenly Realm, the Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Ancient Buddha."

Yao Ji's emotions were like a deep pool, calm and still, without much ripple. Her tranquility also calmed Balan and the Queen of Ba down somewhat.

Balan lowered his eyes and sighed:

"The experts in the Heavenly Realm are actually this powerful? This completely exceeds the limits of the normal cultivation system, right? Even those who have reached the perfect ninth rank in terms of both physical body and soul cannot be this powerful..."

The Queen of Ba was more focused on practical matters, and she asked urgently:

"What does this scene in the sky mean, and why is it appearing above our skies?"

Yao Ji did not have a definite answer to this question because she had no one to ask and could only offer her own interpretation based on her understanding.

"Perhaps... they wanted to establish their authority in our world, so that no one in this realm would dare to rebel against them. Simply put, they wanted the beings in this realm to know that His Highness had been killed."

Besides this, Yao Ji couldn't think of any other possibility.

Of course, this assumption is a bit... ridiculous for them.

These supreme beings are so powerful, is there really anyone in this realm who can stand against them? It's probably just the wicked sense of humor of these two overlords of the celestial realm.

Balan was a little worried about his old flame:

"What are the chances of Mingkong winning against Miss Yao Ji? I remember that before Mingkong set off for the Heavenly Realm, neither he nor Ancestor Basheng seemed to have reached such a terrifying level."

In particular, Chu Mingkong had only been in the Heavenly Domain for a short time, and no one could imagine how he could grow.

Yao Ji could only shake her head slightly and sigh softly:

"I don't know, but His Highness's ability to face these two beings so calmly suggests that he must have his own confidence, right?"

......

Like the calm before a storm, a repressive silence shrouds the world, but there will eventually be a moment of explosion.

The two supreme beings made their move. Unlike the Heavenly Sword God, they did not test the waters first. Instead, they attacked with all their might.

"It's time to reclaim the power you so arrogantly dared to plunder!"
