Chapter 1056 Phoenix, Phoenix (Please refresh, 4600)

The Heavenly Dao monsters are in a frenzy and chaos, and the Supreme True Buddha is extremely biased. Ironically, these two hidden dragons and phoenix chicks have actually focused their attention on Su Lin, the Haotian Buddha.

Adding to the fact that the Demon Saint had been wronged, it's now a three-on-one battle against Lu Bu, and Su Lin has inexplicably become the man with the highest hatred value in the entire scene.

'Su Lin, quickly join everyone in using my power! These little punks might just be able to make me feel the heat of the engine oil.'

001/Heavenly Court/Creation Engine MK2000/Demon Slayer Great Sage couldn't wait to unleash its unique qualities as a peerless divine weapon of the Other Shore level.

Since leaving Gensokyo, it has never encountered a mecha of equal strength, and before it knew it, it was back to being a decoration in Iwamori's office, which made it feel a little bored.

'I refuse.'

'As long as we use cultivation + technology + magic + the Law of Cycles + martial arts + vengeful spirits... uh, what did you just say?'

Sorry, partner, at least for today.

Su Lin stood with his hands behind his back, calmly gazing at the enemy before him: 'There is not a single heretical element within my immortal cultivation style.'

“Even if I have to carry the entire heavens on my back and drag the Primordial Imperial City with one hand, I am still invincible in the world.” Su Lin said calmly, but his thoughts were already sending another translated message in the chat group.

[Su Lin: "Can't your father protect the Great Zhou capital and you, you unfilial son, with just one hand?! @Meng Qi, you bastard, speak up!"]

With a wave of his sleeves, a burst of pure energy shot out and split into three. One of them was the Daoist master, clad in dragon armor, sitting on the roof of a Mercedes-Benz, with nine true dragons pulling the chariot as it traveled through the river of time.

A monk draped in a brocade robe, with the golden body of a formless Buddha behind him, exuding an aura of self-importance.

The last person was a being with a strong aura of the Netherworld, wearing a crown and a black robe that resembled the Abyss Emperor reflecting the dark universe.

"Your Majesty has finally returned, and the final calamity has not yet arrived. Why must things come to this?"

Maitreya's voice came from the depths of the Pure Land, carrying a persuasive tone: "Benefactor Su Meng and Benefactor Gao are troubled by demonic obstacles and are too deeply involved. If this continues, there will be a crisis for all living beings. We are only acting out of good intentions and are willing to lend a helping hand."

Compared to the strange phenomena on Su Meng's body and the fact that the Golden Emperor was willing to pay a huge price to take action.

The ancient Jade Emperor escaped by faking his death, at the cost of a drop in his cultivation level. He relied on the return of the Nine Netherworlds to maintain a seemingly powerful pseudo-Other Shore realm, which is not something that needs special attention.

At that time, many important figures speculated that the Jade Emperor was not dead, but they did not know how He continued to exist or what His current identity was.

However, Su Meng's actions clearly involved more than just His arrangements, which is quite intriguing.

"Times have changed. This is no longer the ancient era. It is better to focus on restoring yourself and wait for the Buddha of Infinite Light to return. Perhaps he can use the Infinite Life Sutra to find a way for Your Majesty to restore your realm. At that time, you will no longer have to cower in the Nine Netherworlds and accompany those filthy demons."

Maitreya spoke again.

After completely equating Su Lin with the ancient Jade Emperor, perhaps at the behest of Amitabha Buddha, Maitreya appealed to his emotions and offered him benefits, hoping that Jade Emperor would not interfere in this matter.

After all, within the realm of reality, it would be a stretch to say that the realm of the Jade Emperor is the perfection of creation. His cultivation and aura are full of contradictions and chaos, and he has several characteristics of the other shore but no other shore ability.

Amitabha Buddha undoubtedly offered a very sincere condition, even offering to use the Infinite Life Sutra to help Him recover.

If it is to pursue that final Dao fruit, given the ambition of the Jade Emperor, he would certainly agree to it.

Moreover, even in the mortal realm, there are dragons stranded on sand and tigers fallen into the plains. Now, with the Heavenly Dao monster and the Supreme True Buddha eyeing them covetously, and the Demon Saint dead but still burdened by karmic debts, all that's needed now is to abandon protecting Su Meng.

"Who do you think you are?" Su Lin glanced at Vacuum Homeland, the pure land of his hometown.

"Why is Your Majesty doing this?" Maitreya asked in surprise.

The Jade Emperor, having lie dormant in the cycle of reincarnation, did not hesitate to be reborn as Ananda and then return from the Nine Netherworlds, plotting for eternity. How could he not see the current situation clearly?

Whether it's the simultaneous fall of ten thousand Buddhas or the matter of the demon race, in the current real world, they can be described as enemies of the entire world.

Not to mention that He had also killed the Black Emperor and formed a karmic bond with Bodhi Buddha. Although they were Buddhist comrades who had helped each other since ancient times, it would be difficult for Bodhi Buddha to make further arrangements. Amitabha Buddha, on the other hand, became the Buddhist other shore with the best opportunity to reduce and seek emptiness.

This move benefits Amitabha Buddha, so He intends to win over the Jade Emperor and resolve the hostility of Buddhism. Logically, this would be quite beneficial to both sides.

"You are nothing but petty scoundrels, how dare you threaten me?"

Su Lin's voice was powerful enough to be described as magnificent. He calmly said, "Don't even mention Amitabha Buddha, even the Three Pure Ones wouldn't be worthy to speak to me like this. I don't need them to teach me how to do things!"

[Su Lin: "@Yuan Huang, this is the fatherly love your father gave you, understand?"]

The group members didn't know whether Su Lin was being consistent or hypocritical, and the group chat was flooded with all sorts of overly affectionate greetings. But at least in the eyes of outsiders, he was now the perfect embodiment of the "God of Heaven."

They're incredibly arrogant.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Mad Blade Su Meng was His own son, inheriting such an arrogant personality.

Meng Qi was now engulfed in chaos, filled with darkness, as if it were a world of its own.

Logically speaking, breaking through to the legendary level is not like the leveling-up method in folk tales where you can break through on the spot and refresh your health and mana bars. Before a celestial being proves themselves to be a legend, they must find a suitable and secluded place to break through. Only when the extraordinary phenomenon takes shape can they have no worries about the future.

Su Meng's feat of breaking through enemy lines amidst the surrounding demons, the Luo Sect's attack, and the monsters from the other shore suggests either a complete loss of reason or an utter lack of concern for his current predicament.

But why?

With the help of a special God of Heaven?

Not only was Maitreya puzzled, but even the other important figures who observed the real world couldn't understand the thoughts of the Jade Emperor.

He has mastered the method of transforming one breath into three pure beings, and Su Meng has the cause of all the results. Even though this matter involves the three pure beings, Haotian is currently unable to support the situation alone. Times have changed, and even the Heavenly Emperor has changed with the era. He is no longer the supreme being who once dominated the ancient times.

This performance was even more dominant than that of Taigu.

Just as Maitreya was still unsure, the phantom of the Five Virtues Phoenix, which seemed to possess the remnants of the Demon Saint's power, remained still. Instead, the Supreme True Buddha was the first to act.

When the Buddha's palm struck out, the terrifying shockwave swept away billions of lives like a landslide and a tsunami.

The stars were few and far between, a pale gold glow shimmered, and the world seemed to have returned to chaos.

He began to disregard the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon's attempts to stop him, and even disregarded the loss of his power.

The reason was simply because the Heavenly Buddha Venerable that Su Lin had transformed into smelled so good. Even all the Buddha remains of Mount Ling combined couldn't compare to the deliciousness of this golden body in front of him, nor could they match the allure of this golden body.

Almost driven by instinct and desire, the Supreme True Buddha, unable to contain his greed, used the remains of Maitreya's golden body as support to reveal forty Buddha teeth to the incarnation of the Heavenly Buddha, who also practiced Buddhism, and bit down with his blood-red maw.

"If I attain enlightenment, then all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Vajras, and Vidyarajas will become my manifestations."

The radiant light of the Buddha permeated the air; though it was pure and pristine, allowing nothing but myself, it could be described as almost demonic at its extreme.

"If I attain enlightenment, I will be the sole supreme Buddha in the three realms and ten directions, in all the heavens and myriad worlds."

The chanting of Buddhist scriptures resonated deeply, stirring the heart and making it difficult to generate any thought of resistance. For Buddhist practitioners, the supreme Buddha is the nemesis that leads directly back to the source.

The Jade Emperor's use of the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" technique to sever the Buddhist incarnation was tantamount to giving away a weakness for nothing.

"Your Majesty, please prioritize the path to enlightenment." Maitreya's voice echoed once more from his homeland of emptiness.

Even Maitreya himself didn't know why Amitabha Buddha seemed to attach great importance to the returning Jade Emperor, and even tried to win him over at this point.

The Heavenly Buddha was enveloped by the pale golden giant palm struck by the Supreme True Buddha, and a series of illusory figures appeared around him, including the Golden-Winged Roc King, Manjushri Bodhisattva with five wisdom topknots on his head, as well as other Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats, almost forming a grand array of ten thousand Buddhas.

These are all powerful Buddhist figures who were devoured by the Supreme True Buddha. Now, as the Heavenly Buddha Venerable is surrounded by the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation, the phantoms of the Buddhas are each unleashing the Tathagata Palm they have mastered.

All Buddhas together praise it, and all Bodhisattvas press it down.

The divine palm returns to one.

That supremely pure Buddha, residing in the position of the World-Honored Tathagata, opened his arms, drawing the Heavenly Buddha in as if embracing him, and then...

Then came the chilling sound of chewing.

Although the Heavenly Monster was repeatedly crushed by the Nine Dragons, its essence remained unharmed. It resembled a lump of mud, its eeriness undiminished, and instead made the world even darker red, revealing madness and chaos.

Amidst a halo of Buddhist light, Su Lin slowly emerged, his expression utterly indifferent: "The Path to Dao Fruition?"

"All I see is you allowing evil creatures to wreak havoc on the land, and you seeing cunning and self-righteous pawns."

If it weren't for other people, how dare you say such things?

Not only Maitreya, but even some of the observers in the shadows found it extremely eerie.

When 'Ananda Tawo' returned, the mark of the Jade Emperor and the river of time manifested, and the influence of the Demon Saint Spear spread to the real world, bringing all the truths of the past into the eyes of the great power.

Even Maitreya wondered if Haotian had made a mistake in his arrangements when he returned, causing him to lose his mind.

At this point, the chilling chewing sound grew even louder, like the screeching sound of something sharp sawing wood.

roar--!?

Seemingly angry, seemingly terrified, the eerie Buddha formed from pure white light swayed and trembled at the location of the Supreme True Buddha.

Beneath the beautiful exterior lie forty golden Buddha teeth.

The Heavenly Buddha, who appeared to have been chewed, wore a strange smile, his golden body broken and his hands clasped together.

At the cracks and broken parts of its own body, countless pure white swastika characters wriggled and gnawed at the forty Buddha teeth and the illusory images of Buddha.

"Without the perception of self, without the perception of others, without the perception of sentient beings, without the perception of a life span."

"The self-image is itself a non-image; the image of a person, the image of sentient beings, and the image of a lifespan are all non-images."

"All phenomena are called Buddhas."

Each pure white swastika seal forms the image of a Bodhisattva or a Buddha.

If the path attained by the Supreme True Buddha is "all Buddhas are me", then the Heavenly Buddha Venerable is "I am all Buddhas". However, in terms of devouring, the two are similar types of substitutes.

You eat me, I eat you, maintaining a strange cycle.

So much so that the pale golden giant hand actually began to emit wisps of genuine aura from the afterlife?!

The irregular dark red vortex suddenly disintegrated, the aura of the Heavenly Dao monster began to climb, and its physical body continued to dissolve.

Since ancient times, Donghuang Taiyi, also known as the Heavenly Dao Monster, has been controlled by the Demon Buddha. However, after being suppressed by the Buddha, he has never dared to truly control him, fearing a backlash.

Seeing that the 'Haotian Shangdi' had been subdued by Su Lin, he simply released his control over the Heavenly Dao monster, letting it seek revenge against the Heavenly Emperor.

"Being the Jade Emperor isn't so easy!" Ananda, sealed within Mount Ling, held the Samsara Seal, his smile tinged with madness.

"Since the Three Pure Ones have all successfully seized the Dao Fruit, then Buddha certainly won't be able to unleash the power of a half-step Dao Fruit within the reset timeframe, so there's no need to be wary."

"But this formless golden body looks somewhat familiar, huh? The Three Pure Ones can steal my fish to make subtractions and seek emptiness, so I can steal yours too!"

"I won't let you perish so easily. You are the most suitable thing for me to use to reduce emptiness!"

Above the Great Zhou Imperial City, the Heavenly Dao monsters whose flesh had dissolved and the infected demon races converged into the sky, where a giant, dark red hand filled with madness and tyranny covered the heavens.

Compared to this, the entire real world seems to have shrunk to a tiny size.

Only Donghuang Taiyi, who hates the Jade Emperor to the extreme, would disregard the erosion of time and the wear and tear, and unleash the power of the other shore realm in this world.

However, there is also something puzzling: the Demon Saint, whose hatred was no less than that of the Heavenly Dao Monster and who even had some remaining self-respect, did not take the opportunity to launch an attack.

The fiery phantom of the Five Virtues Phoenix remained suspended in mid-air, gazing intently at what lay before it.

Even so, it seems that the only way out for the Jade Emperor at present, besides escaping into the Nine Netherworlds, is to seek the protection of Amitabha Buddha.

Regardless of the reason, Su Meng, who is so arrogant as to choose to break through at this time, is probably doomed.

Who knows

"I refuse to live a life of dishonor!"

Su Lin directly used Meng Qi's lines without intending to pay the bastard any royalties: "If you don't attain the Dao Fruit, you will be the most respected in this world!"

Past and present intertwine, the Milky Way preserves ancient relics.

The Akasha Records, a fantasy cultivation version, features the Heavenly River Battle Armor woven from the essence of the twelve sacred beasts. With Su Lin's successful cultivation of the 'Heaven-Defying Technique,' it can now be activated with a large amount of immortal energy to achieve some effect.

It is no longer used solely for defensive purposes, as it was in the past.

"All that has passed away will eventually return."

A million Imperial Guards, the constellations of the heavens, primordial demon gods, the ancient immortal realm, and even projections of the Fusang Ancient Tree—it was as if the ancient Heavenly Court had been resurrected and recreated by the Jade Emperor, and all of it was real?!

This is something only the other side can do.

Those who cause chaos in the Three Realms shall die!

The darkness suddenly collapsed, and the dark red clouds were impacted by the purple light. It was unclear whether Haotian was unsure of his current realm or was overwhelmed by the sight of the ancient Heavenly Court returning. Apart from the maddened Heavenly Dao monsters, even the Supreme True Buddha felt a sense of retreat.

However, those on the other side are ultimately just ants.

Even without knowing what method was used, when faced with the Heavenly Dao monsters that had been released from the control of the Demon Buddha, those reappeared things were like dreams and bubbles, gradually shattering.

But the Jade Emperor, who personally led the expedition, remained as dazzling and majestic as in the primordial era, showing no sign of compromise or retreat.

Even if the opponent is Donghuang Taiyi, it's a setup by the Daoist Master, and there's a transcendent being behind it.

Inside the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, the group members looked up at the sky.

"Boss Iwamori, are you really not planning to make a move? Without cheating, the gap between you and the Other Shore is still quite large, right?"

Huai Shi was somewhat worried that Donghuang Taiyi might damage the harmony between the chosen Taiyi and Haotian.

"If Brother Cheat doesn't use cheats, would he still be called Brother Cheat?" Xiao Yan joked.

But looking at these magnificent scenes, a long-lost sense of urgency arose in his heart, and he began to crave greater strength.

"Although we're reluctant to use other resources for the sake of the art style, it's really difficult to rely solely on these recreated things." Iwamori crossed his arms and surveyed the battle situation.

“No,” Kaguya yawned, pausing as she pressed her thumb on the handheld console: “He has one more forbidden technique.”

"What forbidden technique? Does it require light or creation?"

"The deceased white moonlight, childhood sweetheart, and admired person. In short, a memory kill."

Kaguya looked up and said, "I noticed before that he has a great talent for this."

In full view.

Between the mad Heavenly Dao monster and the Jade Emperor, a black-gold phoenix-winged spear pierced through space and blocked the way. Accompanied by invisible flames spreading out, the phantom of the Five Virtues Phoenix turned its head to face the Heavenly Dao monster.

The five virtues intertwined, tearing apart the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Dao monster.

Ananda, inside the seal of Mount Ling, stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Feng Xi?!?"

Inside the Demon Emperor's Palace, layers of curtains suddenly parted, revealing a woman whose face seemed to embody the beauty of the world, gazing towards the direction of the Great Zhou.

Eyes twinkling.
