After capturing the Lotus Platform Spreading Buddha, Yan Zhaoge didn't immediately end his life. Instead, he walked towards Nezha.
Nezha's expression was slightly complicated as he looked at the Lotus Platform Spreading Buddha.
Due to his injuries, the Lotus Platform Spreading Buddha was coughing non-stop. However, his expression became calmer instead.
"It seems like today is the day to end the karma between us. Although you're the one doing it, not the other way around." The Lotus Platform Spreading Buddha let out a long sigh and stopped looking at Nezha. Instead, he turned his head towards Yan Zhaoge with much difficulty, "Young Heavenly Lord, you live up to your name."
"It's a pity that I didn't know that you created this Fallen Deity Sword. Otherwise, I wouldn't have allowed you to grow to such a stage." The Buddha said softly, "Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao isn't too biased. This sword art of yours shouldn't be easy to cultivate, right? If you could expand it further, it would pose a huge threat to both our Blessed Lands of Saha and the Immortal Court's Infernal Devils. "
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Even without my Fallen Deity Sword, how could you guys have progressed so far?"
"That's right. After obtaining the Immortal Extermination Formation, your Three Clear lineage finally had a chance to recover." The Lotus Platform Spreading Buddha nodded, "Moreover, your cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. You're no longer the same as before."
He sighed towards the sky, "In the past, I allowed you guys to cause trouble for the Immortal Court's Infernal Devils. As a result, I've been too lenient towards you guys. Today, you guys have finally grown stronger."
"If I knew this would happen, I would've suppressed you guys together with the Immortal Court's Infernal Devils. However, it's meaningless to talk about this now."
The Lotus Platform Spreading Buddha shook his head.
"Forget it." Yan Zhaoge smiled, "If the Maitreya Buddha were to say this, it wouldn't be a problem. However, you're overestimating yourself. No matter if it's the Immortal Court or you guys, you're too weak in front of the Western Pure Lands and the Demon Race."
"It's fine for you heretics to fool the middle and lower ranks. How could a leader like you not notice this?"
The Lotus Platform Spreading Dharma Buddha wasn't angered by his words. Instead, he smiled, "Our central Blessed Lands of Saha experienced many changes in the past, and we managed to reach where we are today. Our strength doesn't just depend on our combat prowess. Otherwise, how could you Three Clear lineages reach where you are now when you were so weak?"
He closed his eyes. "However, my end has been decided today."
"Jinzha, now that things have come to this, there's really no need to say anything else." At this time, Nezha said, "As you said, since you came to me today to end your karma, I will fulfill your wish."
After saying that, Nezha looked towards Yan Zhaoge, "Fellow Daoist, please give him a clean answer. Don't humiliate him."
"Although the Lotus Platform Spreading Dharma Buddha is taking advantage of your perilous state, I'm willing to give him his final dignity." Yan Zhaoge looked at the Lotus Platform Spreading Dharma Buddha and said, "Fellow Daoist, please."
Then, a flame lit up in his palm.
"Namo Maitreya." The Spreading Dharma Buddha on the lotus platform uttered a Buddhist mantra. He closed his eyes, and the Buddha light imbued with the power of faith gradually dissipated. His aura returned to silence and was extinguished within the flames on Yan Zhaoge's palm.
The Buddha's figure grew smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared.
After the flames had been extinguished, only a single sarira remained within Yan Zhaoge's palm.
He passed the sarira to Nezha. Nezha received it, and his gaze changed. In the end, he let out a silent sigh.
Ever since the Antiquity Era, his relationship with Jinzha and Muzha wasn't that good due to Li Jing. They couldn't even be considered as brothers.
After that, due to various reasons, nothing happened between them.
As time passed, the original grievances and entanglements also slowly faded.
During the Great Calamity, although Jinzha had already entered the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus heretics, he didn't interfere when Daoism was facing a calamity.
Muzha followed his two masters, Guanyin and Samantabhadra, to the Western Pure Lands. Similarly, he didn't participate in the Great Calamity.
As such, Nezha only hated Li Jing and the Dipankara Ancient Buddha. He didn't hate Jinzha and Muzha too much.
Unfortunately, in the end, a battle still had to end.
Muzha and Li Jing had always been close. If Nezha killed Li Jing, he and Muzha would definitely become enemies.
As for Jinzha, he had already parted ways with Li Jing and Muzha. They were even opponents. However, a battle still had to happen between him and Nezha.
Their complicated feelings caused Nezha's heart to be filled with complicated emotions.
Yan Zhaoge came to Nezha's side and placed his hand on Nezha's back.
As the Spherical Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual revolved, it enveloped Nezha. As it revolved, the lingering black qi became fainter and fainter.
"Remain calm, Daoist brother. They can't do anything to us," said Yan Zhaoge.
"Yes." Nezha calmed his mind and nodded. He sat in a lotus position by the void and resisted against the Primordial Heart Devil's technique with Yan Zhaoge's help.
"The Western Pure Lands didn't expel us only because Jinzha wanted to cause trouble for me." Nezha said, "If the Primordial Heart Devil wanted to scheme against me, the Nine Underworlds Devilish Dao should've sent someone to ambush me as well."
One of the contents of the transaction between the Nine Underworlds and the Western Pure Lands was for the Nine Underworlds to search for the Yellow Earth Apricot Flag for the Western Pure Lands.
Of course, the Nine Underworlds could do such a transaction. Firstly, they already had the White Cloud Bound Flag. Secondly, they had the Nine Underworlds' Deep Sea's seawater, which could suppress the Yellow Earth Apricot Flag. As such, it wasn't surprising for them to give this treasure to the Western Pure Lands in exchange for what the Nine Underworlds needed.
However, if there was a chance to create a Devil Lotus Crown Prince or Lotus Devil Lord that originated from the Lotus Third Prince, Nezha, like how he did with the Six-Eared Macaque, the Nine Underworlds would be more than happy to see it happen.
In this aspect, there was no need for Nezha to belittle himself.
A Devil Lord with the same strength as him might not be any weaker than the Yellow Earth Apricot Flag. It was definitely worth it for the Nine Underworlds to split their forces and fight for it.
After all, with Nezha's strength, he could even fight against the Dipankara Ancient Buddha in an environment like the Western Pure Lands.
If the Nine Underworlds used his Heart Devil to create a Great Devil, it would be able to possess the murderous aura that plagued him previously.
Nezha's murderous aura was extremely rare, and it complemented the Devilish Dao. By then, the Great Devil might even be stronger than Nezha himself.
Due to Yan Zhaoge and the Spherical Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual, the Nine Underworlds Devils' plan failed.
However, they couldn't stop the Nine Underworlds Devil Slaying Ritual.
As such, when the Lotus Platform Spreading Dharma Buddha invaded, Nezha was also worried that the Devilish Dao experts would suddenly appear.
"Indeed, there's a Great Devil's invasion." Yan Zhaoge smiled, "However, my wife has been guarding outside the Western Pure Lands. We don't have to worry about anything."
Feng Yunsheng's perception towards the Devilish Dao was much sharper than others.
The Nine Underworlds Devilish Dao had split their forces into two. On one hand, they had to deal with the Yellow Earth Apricot Flag, and on the other hand, they had to take care of the Devilish Dao. It would be very hard for them to break through her defenses.
"I really have to thank you and Daoist Feng this time." Nezha turned his head and looked towards the Western Pure Lands, "Unfortunately, even though I was filled with confidence, I couldn't take on the Dipankara Ancient Buddha."
"It's fine." Yan Zhaoge smiled, "The outcome of this battle isn't decided yet. The real battlefield is at the Yellow Earth Apricot Flag."
