Yan Zhaoge stood in the air above the blood sea. His hands were placed behind his back, looking relaxed.
He casually destroyed the Buddhism imprint on the Twelve Devilish Grand Formation's runes, cutting off the Dipankara Ancient Buddha's hope of refining the blood sea and releasing the Devils.
The Buddhas of the Western Pure Lands couldn't withstand his attack and retreated.
If they didn't, they would follow the footsteps of the Unbreakable Vajra Buddha and the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.
Within the Twelve Devilish Grand Formation, the Primordial Heavenly Devil and the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil were staring at the Amitabha Buddha.
The Amitabha Buddha's expression was calm, like an ancient well without any ripples.
The Supreme Elder Lord and the Eastern Sovereign Taiyi were on the other side, looking calm.
The Heaven and Earth Heaven Earthly Yellow Exquisite Pagoda revolved above the Elder Lord's head, causing streams of Heaven and Earth Heaven Earthly Yellow Qi to descend.
Affected by the battle between the Dao Ancestors, the Twelve Devilish Grand Formation grew weaker and weaker.
However, all of this seemed to have nothing to do with the Dipankara Ancient Buddha.
The ancient Buddha watched as the imprint he left on the blood sea's runes was erased by Yan Zhaoge. His hopes of ascending to the Dao Realm were dashed once again, and he couldn't help but feel exhausted.
"I wonder if Benefactor Yan is going to help Daoist Xuandu or Daoist South Pole?" The Dipankara Ancient Buddha stared at Yan Zhaoge.
Everyone else's gaze was also focused on Yan Zhaoge.
Previously, Yan Zhaoge was stuck in the Grand Void and didn't manage to transcend the Origin Heavenly Tribulation.
Now that he had transcended the Origin Heavenly Tribulation and became a new Grand Heavenly Immortal, he seemed to have the Nine Underworlds' situation in his grasp.
Looking at that young face, the few Grand Heavenly Realm experts that had attained the Dao for more than one epoch had a complicated look in their eyes.
Yan Zhaoge didn't answer. Instead, he turned his head and looked above the Nine Underworlds, at the boundlessly high place.
There, a white jade door was faintly discernible.
If possible, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord naturally hoped that the new Dao Ancestor would appear from his alliance, the Western Pure Lands.
However, the situation had reversed. The Dipankara Ancient Buddha no longer had any hope, and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord couldn't ignore it any longer.
At the same time, the Celestial Extermination Formation appeared indistinctly. Its sharpness was restrained, but its spearhead was pointed straight at the Celestial Court.
It was just that this time, the attitude of the White Jade Gate was extremely unyielding. Even though the Immortal Extermination Formation was threatening their foundation, they still covetously eyed the situation in the Nine Underworlds.
The Immortal Court had been completely annihilated, and he had become a general without an army. To the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, ten thousand years of hard work going down the drain was naturally a huge blow.
However, the addition of a new Dao Ancestor to the enemy's side posed a similarly huge threat to him in the future.
At that time, they might not be able to protect the foundation of the Immortal Court even if they were to face even more powerful enemies.
Since that was the case, he might as well grit his teeth and pay the price now, hoping for a chance to turn the tables in the future.
Only four Dao Ancestors could break the Immortal Extermination Formation.
However, the Immortal Vanquishing Array could not harm a Dao Ancestor.
Both sides fell out, and the result was mutual destruction.
When it really came to a time where he had to make a choice, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord did not lack this kind of resolution.
However, right at this moment, a white lotus floated over.
Although the white lotus was not as powerful as it was before, it seemed a little weak compared to the jade gate.
However, when this white lotus appeared in the air, the pressure from the jade gate immediately dissipated.
It was the Future Buddha Maitreya, who had suffered a huge loss previously, coming out of seclusion again. He was now in a stalemate with the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.
Currently, the Supreme Elder Lord's Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was standing in the Nine Underworlds. The Nine Underworlds could no longer restrict the Eastern Sovereign Taiyi, giving the Amitabha Buddha a chance to attack the Maitreya Buddha together with the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.
Although the Maitreya Buddha had suffered a loss previously, he did not want to decide the outcome of the battle. He only wanted to restrict the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord would not be able to do anything to him within a short period of time.
Under such circumstances, the threat brought by the Immortal Extermination Formation became unbearable.
Seeing this, the Dipankara Ancient Buddha and the other Buddhas of the Blessed Lands were completely destroyed.
Yan Zhaoge didn't seem surprised. Instead, as if he had verified his guess, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.
He turned his head and looked at the central Saha Pagoda.
As time passed, the radiance on the central Saha Pagoda was slowly fading away.
The pressure on the people suppressed by the pagoda did not decrease. However, when the radiance on the central Saha Pagoda dissipated, everyone would immediately regain their freedom.
As for the Daoism, they would still have the absolute advantage.
"One of them tricked my wife, and the other tricked senior apprentice-brother Nie." Yan Zhaoge's gaze moved between the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and the Xuan Du Great Daoist, "It's so hard to choose."
The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor said, "Daoist Yan, you've misunderstood …"
"I didn't misunderstand anything." Yan Zhaoge interrupted him, "With your Origin Heavenly Scripture cultivation, how could you not know about the Rahu Saber that Jian Shunhua left behind for a thousand years before entering the Nine Underworlds, as well as the whereabouts of the Rahu Saber?"
He stared straight at the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, and a jade-green radiance appeared within his eyes.
As if he was attracted by something, the same jade-green radiance appeared within the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's eyes as well, intertwining and forming profound runes.
"As expected, when I was searching for the Shakyamuni Śarīra in the central Blessed Lands of Saha's ruins a thousand years ago, I was careless and was discovered by you."
The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor remained silent for a moment and sighed, "How sharp. Back then, you were only in the Grand Virtual Realm and didn't cultivate the Origin Heavenly Scripture. However, your attainments were still so deep."
Ever since Yun Zhongzi perished, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor became the person with the highest attainments in the Origin Heavenly Scripture. Only, not many people knew about this.
The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor stood amidst the thunderbolts, his figure faintly discernible, "Unfortunately, you've ascended to the Grand Heavenly Realm, and I've yet to ascend to the Dao Realm. I'm a step slower than you …"
If he was a step slower, the difference would be like heaven and earth.
The Taiyi Cultivated Deity tried to ease the tension between the two, "What happened between Daoist Feng and Daoist Nie is regrettable. Fortunately, the outcome can still be salvaged."
"Finally, senior apprentice-uncle Elder Lord is willing to take action personally. For now, we should focus on the Nine Underworlds' situation. Fellow Daoist Yan, please think about it."
To avoid being disrespectful towards the Elder Lord, Yan Zhaoge's words were reserved.
What he meant was that even if the Elder Lord took action today, it was still hard to say what would happen in the future.
As such, Daoism's direct lineage had to make use of this opportunity to plan for the Nine Underworlds' situation. Only by having a new Dao Ancestor would they be able to stabilize the situation in the future.
"You're right, Daoist." Yan Zhaoge nodded towards the Taiyi Cultivated Deity. Then, he looked towards the Xuan Du Great Daoist and the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor with a smile that didn't seem like a smile, "Is this the reason why the two of you are so fearless?"
He smiled, "Unfortunately, I don't have to pick one out of the two of you. Don't think too highly of yourselves."
Everyone frowned when they heard his words.
Yan Zhaoge pointed towards the Twelve Devilish Gods and Devils Grand Formation beneath the blood sea, "Who do you think the Elder Lord's participation helped?"
"No matter if it's the central Saha Pagoda's appearance or me ascending to the Grand Heavenly Realm, the Eastern Sovereign doesn't seem to mind it at all. Why do you think that's the case?"
He glanced at the Nine Underworlds above his head, and the white lotus that was faintly blocking the jade door, "Do you think that the Future Buddha was willing to help us block the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord just to ensure that the Dipankara Ancient Buddha wouldn't ascend to the Dao Realm?"
