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

--useless!

Knowing that Chu Mingkong's killing intent was resolute and there was no possibility of turning back, the Buddha's supreme Buddha body suddenly swelled and throbbed.

The intense yang energy within suddenly became extremely dense. Some cultivators who were nearby subconsciously inhaled and exhaled this pure yang energy, causing their physical vitality to reach its peak. Their spiritual veins transformed into vines, breaking through their skin to grow yang soul flowers.

At this moment, the cultivators from the regions who had never heard of such a supreme being felt an unprecedented fear, a fear ten thousand times more terrifying than the projection they had seen in the sky that day!

The sheer pressure alone was beyond their comprehension and understanding; it was a level they had never even heard of!

Some suffered severe internal organ damage, while others suffered serious damage to their souls. And this was merely the result of being "lightly touched" from afar by the oppressive power of an supreme being.

"Is this the enemy that King Xiling faced in that foreign land? It's so terrifying!"

"Is this really the realm that cultivation can reach? What's the point of our cultivation then?!"

"Are we all going to die here? This giant Buddha is even more powerful than the one that appeared in the sky that day!"

"What nonsense are you regional people spouting? The Ancient Buddha is much weaker than before. What you felt before was just the oppressive power of His projection and that of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, wasn't it?"

"These regional cultivators are too well protected by the Heavenly Gate Barrier; they're too vulnerable!"

The celestial cultivators weren't much better off; they managed to spare some energy to treat the terrestrial cultivators.

The distorted true Buddha shouted:

"Chu Mingkong, if you want to annihilate me, then let us perish together! Let all living beings in this region see just how much firework this dual-force can create!"

Chu Mingkong then further gathered towards the remains of the Heavenly Sword God.

The eternally tranquil heavens and earth were stirred up and turned upside down at this moment!

"Do you want to use the same methods I used to severely injure you to turn against me? Is your extreme Yang power really comparable to mine? The Abyss has witnessed the sedimentation of several eras of destruction."

For similar reasons, these eras repeated cyclical destruction and cyclical desolation. Even the goddesses grew tired of this boredom, tired of the imbalance and destruction brought about by greed and plunder, and therefore chose to sleep endlessly.

Now, I have the weight of several eras to hold as my reasons for facing you!

Do you deserve to stir up trouble?

"Are you worthy of setting off fireworks?"

The remains of the Heavenly Sword God and the Heavenly Demon Emperor gradually disappeared amidst the black waves of fire, transforming into fuel for a black sun in the ever-burning, deep flames.

The entire region was enveloped in black and white colors because of this enormous black sun.

The heavens and earth paled in comparison!

The extreme yang power gathered by the true Buddha is as large as a mountain, but compared to the black sun in the sky, it is but a drop in the ocean.

Chu Mingkong pointed to the black sun in the sky, and at that moment, his voice seemed to become the only sound in the world, spreading to every corner.

"Did you see that Heavenly Sword God who disappeared? I turned him into a halberd handle."

And you, you're equipped with a halberd handle!

The black sun fell, without emitting any oppressive aura; in fact, it fell rather slowly, so one could not sense its terror and thought it was an illusion.

It seems to contain the fall, collapse, and destruction of several eras.

The True Buddha used all his strength, even attempting to gather extreme Yang power through self-destruction, but it was so insignificant in the face of the Black Sun that it was instantly eroded, unable to even ignite the sparks of the bipolar clash.

Before this dark sun, all the Buddhist teachings displayed by the true Buddha are nothing but illusions in the water, easily shattered at the slightest touch.

Finally, the true Buddha raised his arms, attempting to lift the black sun.

But His body was like a snowman exposed to the blazing sun, melting away instantly.

Along with the filthy Buddhist sanctuary, it was crushed by the dark sun, leaving only a bottomless abyss.

The black sun sank into the abyss, never to make a ripple again.

The sky remained gray, showing no signs of recovery.

Chu Mingkong addressed the Heavenly Domain cultivators who had specifically smuggled themselves here:

"Everyone, go back to where you came from. It's getting dark a bit early today, but it will still rise as usual tomorrow."

I should go back for dinner too.

Chapter 288 The Decline of a Great Era

Chu Mingkong's words didn't actually contain much of a threat, but these Heavenly Domain cultivators were all extremely nervous and left in an orderly fashion, returning to where they came from.

Various complex forces gathered there, yet no one dared to cause trouble, and there wasn't even a murmur of discussion.

In a moment of silence and solemnity, the Heavenly Realm was withdrawn.

Only when the familiar spiritual energy returned to their senses did a few people come back to their senses.

"This...it ended so quickly, just like that..."

The sentiment arose from nowhere, but it quickly drew responses of agreement.

"Yes, although the Ancient Buddha was severely injured and fled to the underworld, even a dying camel is bigger than a horse, so the meeting was over in a short time."

"The three most proactive supreme beings have all perished. What will the future hold...? Will Chu Mingkong become the ultimate overlord in one fell swoop?"

"Perhaps things won't be too bad over in Snow River Divine City, since they're allied with Chu Mingkong. I just wonder what will happen at Chaotic Battle Star Tomb and Holy Sun Flower Bridge..."

"I had anticipated a major upheaval and change, but I never imagined it would be this big, forcing even the supreme beings to the point of being wiped out in one fell swoop."

"The future momentum of this region may surpass that of the Heavenly Region. Even if the cultivators there are weak, with Chu Mingkong alone holding them off, all of us Saints and Venerables are useless."

After a long sigh, the monks eventually returned to their respective homes.

......

After Chu Mingkong finished speaking, he left the Pure Land Abyss with an air of great composure. In reality, after all the cultivators had left, he quietly returned to check on the True Buddha's condition.

If necessary, he wouldn't hesitate to deliver a few more blows.

He ventured deep into the abyss and discovered the remains of the true Buddha before he was finally at ease.

Beside the remains, which were almost nothing but a pool of minced meat, the crystallized power of will shattered and was slowly eroded by the power of the abyss, while the divine essence that the True Buddha had once collected was gradually being "extracted" from the True Buddha's power source.

Every power has its day of defeat, but the power of the goddesses is eternal.

"Having seen the goddess's true form is more reliable than anything else; the Buddha is finally completely dead!"

Chu Mingkong couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

To be honest, even he himself felt that it was happening too fast to be real.

The power of that black sun was beyond his imagination; it actually smashed out an abyss.

Looking at it this way, the whole world seems to be surrounded by the Abyss and the Valley of the Sun. These two realms are like a dream carried on a paper boat, fragile and easily broken, yet they have lasted for thousands of years and experienced so many changes of seasons.

"Now it's really time to go back and eat."

Chu Mingkong took the remaining power essence of the True Buddha and left the Abyss.

......

Upon returning to the Kunlun Daoist sect, the disciples looked at him with awe, puzzled but also cautious.

Chu Mingkong didn't explain anything. He just continued to wander around Kunlun as usual. If he wandered around for a while longer, the Taoist disciples would naturally become more vigilant.

The women must have had many questions about the Buddhist Pure Land, but when Chu Mingkong's men returned, those questions seemed less important.

"It's good that you're back. By the time you got back, dinner was already quite late. Yao Ji even asked someone to prepare a lot of dishes for us as a welcome feast."

The plump and mature Aunt Gu felt at ease and came forward to help Chu Mingkong to his seat.

When they got to him, they circled him to check if Chu Mingkong was injured anywhere. But it seemed that everything was fine, and not even a single tear was in his clothes.

Chu Mingkong hugged all his little princesses and kissed them affectionately, then teased Yao Ji:

"I suddenly realized that it was too early to deal with the true Buddha. If we finish this welcoming feast and then go to the Pure Land of Buddhism to get rid of Him, we can have another celebratory feast when we come back."

It's a huge loss that Yao Ji's meal was consumed by both the welcome banquet and the victory celebration.

"This means the cat missed out on a meal."

In his arms, several adorable little babies sat in a row. As soon as Chu Mingkong picked up some food, they all opened their mouths wide, waiting to eat, which was quite delightful.

Yao Ji rarely removed her veil, and as she savored the delicacies, her every move exuded the charm of a beautiful woman.

She said, "There's no rush. If Your Highness really wants a victory banquet, we can have one after the battle of Jianmu, and then another one after Your Highness has completely dealt with the matters concerning the Supreme Beings."

"This is making me feel really stressed!"

Chu Mingkong raised his glass, and amidst the clinking of glasses, the topic no longer turned to the supreme beings.

They only talked about their experiences, observations, and feelings in the celestial realm over the past few days.

Looking back on the journey so far, it all seems incredible.

......

After resting for three days in the Kunlun Dao Sect, the familiar ice cracks reappeared in the sky.

The sky resembled a piece of crystal ice, covered with magnificent cracks.

This was the power of the Snow River Lord. Chu Mingkong knew she meant no harm, but had come to deliver a message.

Chu Mingkong was in the middle of nowhere, so it was difficult for the movements of the Heavenly Domain to reach him. And having Binglan and the others travel a long way to the vicinity of Moonlight Wilderness before sneaking across would take too long. It would be better for the Lord of Snow River to inform him personally.

However, as Chu Mingkong looked at the cracks in the sky, he couldn't help but think of his master's wife, Shen Xuejun.

On the last day after she returned to her original form, Chu Mingkong had a deep and intimate encounter with her under a similar sky.

After a moment of stunned silence, Chu Mingkong finally responded:

"Snow Princess, what happened in the Heavenly Realm?"

[There's been some activity at both the Chaotic Star Tomb and the Sacred Sun Flower Bridge. The situation isn't urgent, but you can come and take a look.]

"There's been movement so quickly?"

Chu Mingkong was somewhat surprised. Could it be that they wanted to negotiate a peace talks?

He didn't really want to take this path, partly because he didn't trust these two supreme beings, and partly because they might revolt again in the future when they accumulated power.

It adds unnecessary trouble.
