The Sword Buddha, who was even more ancient than the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit and the Victorious Fighting Buddha, established the lineage of the sword for Buddhism, couldn't even withstand the Ru Yi Golden Cudgel's attack.
The initially sturdy Golden Body of Buddhism instantly shattered.
After being sealed for two thousand years, the moment he was freed, he was faced with the fate of perishing.
"My fate …" The Sword Buddha's Golden Body shattered. Before he breathed his last, he let out a disappointed sigh.
After a sigh, his body gradually disintegrated, transforming into streams of air that lingered around.
As the colorful auras lingered, they transformed into a huge black hole. The center of the black hole was deep and heavy, while the periphery seemed to be divided into six worlds.
The Heavenly Realm, Human Realm, Hell Realm, Asura Realm, Animal Realm, and Hungry Ghost Realm — the six paths of reincarnation appeared together.
The Sword Buddha, who had transformed into the Human Realm, seemed to have transformed into reincarnation the moment he perished, wanting to drag the surrounding existences into it as well.
The Jade Spring World, which was initially stabilized by the Immortal Trapping Sword's sword-light, started trembling. As time and space distorted, it seemed like it was about to be sucked into the black hole of reincarnation.
The humongous Demon Monkey bared his teeth and smiled. He lifted the Ru Yi Golden Cudgel and slammed it downwards!
The iron cudgel filled the reincarnation, filling up the black hole. It was even heavier and more vigorous than the black hole's center.
The divine metal treasure that once stabilized the Heavenly River's circulation and the Myriad Heavens' transformation also stabilized the Sword Buddha's six paths of reincarnation.
Qu Su couldn't save him in time. As he watched the Sword Buddha's slough transforming into reincarnation, his originally pale face lost all traces of blood.
His expression was emotionless as he sheathed his sword, "Namo Sword King Buddha."
After chanting his master's official Buddhist name, Qu Su retreated and drifted far away.
Although the Immortal Trapping Sword's sword-light obstructed their path, Yan Zhaoge and the others' attention was focused on stabilizing the Sword Buddha's six paths of reincarnation.
With Qu Su's strength, he could easily escape if he wanted to.
The Golden Body of the Great Sage wielded the Ru Yi Golden Cudgel and forcefully suppressed the Sword Buddha's world of reincarnation.
The black hole gradually disappeared, and the chaotic six paths' auras calmed down.
Yan Zhaoge and the others stood quietly where they were, not speaking as they looked at the scene before them.
"Junior apprentice-sister Di, Daoist Yan, may you rest in peace." After a long while, Gao Qingxuan murmured softly.
Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng both had solemn looks on their faces as they lowered their heads slightly.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation disappeared and the Golden Body of the Great Sage kept the Ruyi Jingu Bang. His body disintegrated into rays of golden light and descended.
Pan-Pan's figure reappeared, the golden light retracting into the tattoo on the back of his shoulder blade.
His figure shrunk to the point where he was no larger than a human palm. Jumping into Yan Zhaoge's palm, he directly sprawled down and fell into a deep sleep.
"You lazy thing, not liking to move at all. This time, it's really been hard on you," Yan Zhaoge curled his fingers, and Pan-Pan disappeared.
While Pan-Pan had expended a great deal of energy due to wielding the Ru Yi Golden Cudgel, Yan Zhaoge and the others weren't afraid of Qu Su, Wang Guan and the others returning.
The Sword Buddha had perished, and the Drum Heavenly Lord had lost his ability to fight due to his injuries.
While Qu Su and Wang Guan were strong, Yan Zhaoge could only rely on the Jade Cauldron cadaver to wield the Immortal Trapping Sword. Together with Feng Yunsheng and Gao Qingxuan, who wielded the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, they might not be able to emerge victorious. However, they could still hold their ground and defend themselves.
"What I'm worried about is them contacting more helpers and making a comeback." Feng Yunsheng said, "Especially the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Future Buddha."
Yan Zhaoge pulled out the broken white jade shortsword from his chest.
Streams of lights flickered continuously on the surface of the broken sword, as if it would shatter at any moment.
"They can't find too many helpers." Yan Zhaoge let out a long sigh, "On the other hand, something unexpected happened to my North Ocean Clone."
Gao Qingxuan and Feng Yunsheng were startled upon hearing his words.
In order to attract the enemy's attention, Yan Zhaoge had faked news regarding the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord in an attempt to incite a conflict between the two heretics using the Humanly Essence Stone fragment that might be in the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord's possession.
Yan Zhaoge wasn't sure if his plan would succeed. He merely hoped to divert the enemy's attention and buy more time and space for them to search for the Immortal Trapping Sword.
Out of consideration, Yan Zhaoge's North Ocean Clone, who possessed the Golden Body of the Great Sage, was also sent to create a facade to increase the credibility of the situation.
However, there was an unexpected change on the other side.
It was supposed to be a facade, but it seemed like it had turned into reality.
The reason was because Yan Zhaoge had attracted the Immortal Court, Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, Western Pure Lands, and the Demon Race's experts out of their seclusion.
Yan Zhaoge, the Incongruence Divine Mother, and the others didn't have any actual clues regarding the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord. They were merely trying to deceive others.
In the beginning, the few heretics held back. However, they were merely probing for information. Everyone held back and restrained themselves, which prevented any major conflicts from erupting.
However, out of everyone's expectations, the Immortal Court and the Demon Race's experts possessed actual clues.
Originally, the items in both parties' hands weren't of any value. Everyone didn't realize how useful they were.
Otherwise, no one would've been able to locate the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord's whereabouts after so many years.
However, when the items in both parties' hands coincidentally met, it was as if a golden carp transformed into a dragon.
Under such circumstances, the items displayed their extraordinariness.
After a brief moment of shock, the two parties that were previously restraining themselves immediately ignited the flames of war and started fighting.
The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, who had secluded himself within the Astro Mountains Starry Seas for tens of thousands of years, appeared once again and seized the treasures of the Immortal Court and the Western Pure Lands.
However, this only temporarily put an end to the matter.
With the treasures of both parties combined, the people of the world truly had a way to locate the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord. Regarding the Humanly Essence Stone's fragments that might exist, a great war would undoubtedly erupt once again.
This time, Yan Zhaoge didn't lay down the Maze Formation to confuse others. Instead, there was actual evidence.
When that time came, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Future Buddha would personally fight against each other.
The flames of war that had just subsided due to Mahamayuri had officially been ignited once again!
"It's precisely because of this that I dare to let Pan-Pan attack with the Ru Yi Golden Cudgel without any worries." Yan Zhaoge said, "Although we have the Immortal Trapping Sword here, the two parties have already started fighting on the other side. I'm afraid they won't be able to care about us for the time being."
If the news here were to be transmitted back first, it would attract the two heretic factions, the Demon Race, and the orthodox Buddhism's troops. The situation would undoubtedly be reversed.
The current situation was what Yan Zhaoge and the others hoped to see the most.
Previously, they had painstakingly planned for this. However, they never expected the outcome to be so ideal.
"The other party won't be able to care about us for the time being. However, after they've finished their preparations, they might send their troops over." Gao Qingxuan said, "After all, we have the Immortal Trapping and Immortal Slaughtering Swords."
