Chapter 1 Undetermined

The origin of the term "Dianhua" (enlightenment) is now untraceable.

For ordinary people, "Dianhua" is often used to describe high monks, virtuous individuals, or enlightened masters guiding ordinary people to awaken, comprehend, and understand the principles of Dao.

In the cultivation world, Dianhua is also a divine power.

Masters of this divine power can make stubborn stones nod, plants and trees gain spirits, decaying wood become useful, and the foolish and ignorant become enlightened.

Turning decay into magic.

Legend has it that those with great divine powers can use this divine power to transform all things into immortals.

There are many cultivators in the world who practice such divine powers, and among the powerful onlookers, many are masters of it.

However, even the great deity in charge of "teaching and transformation" in the imperial court couldn't help but tremble and stare in disbelief at the giant god who shook the universe with every step.

All things have spirits, and theoretically, all have the opportunity to attain the Dao, but the more spiritually abundant an object is, the harder it is to enlighten and transform.

Mount Sumeru has stood in the Western Regions for countless eons, a place where the beliefs of countless Buddhist lands converge.

Such an existence is impossible to enlighten.

Not to mention him, even a Saint would have no chance!

But now, something that everyone believed was impossible has actually happened.

Boom!

Under the gazes of many powerhouses, some shocked, some astonished, and some horrified, the Sumeru Handprint, seemingly possessing the power to dominate the universe,

Collided head-on with that "Fearless Seal"!

Crack!

This was a terrifying collision, the void collapsing and shattering, countless vitality and spiritual energy crushed and annihilated by violent ripples.

These two handprints shared great similarities, both being great Buddhist divine powers, and both containing indelible beliefs and wills.

The powerful onlookers felt the void shifting, as if two supreme beings were demonstrating the Dharma in the void.

One held great compassion, seeking to save all living beings with fearlessness.

The other held the belief in eternal strength, crossing the sea of suffering with great freedom.

This was no longer a simple collision of divine powers, but a collision of Dao, even more terrifying and brutal than a collision of divine powers.

"As expected of the Supreme Awakened One, actually able to contend with Sumeru!"

Among the disheveled hair of the Sumeru giant god, the Red Boy Vajra felt even more apprehensive.

He had imagined the extraordinary nature of this Supreme Awakened One countless times, but seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel his mind shake.

Sumeru had never appeared before the world, but it was the most outstanding existence among the myriad spiritual intelligences enlightened by his Buddha.

It existed with the belief of billions of years of Buddhism, born from the blood of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, immortal since birth, and its power was unparalleled in the universe.

Even with the blessing of Buddhist fortune, this Supreme Awakened One had only cultivated for a thousand years, yet had achieved such a feat?

Startled, the Red Boy resolutely made a decision, sensing the aura of the "Exotic Treasure Illustrated Record" left by the Buddha:

"Heaven and earth, Qiankun, sun and moon essence, Yin and Yang, five elements within. Once enlightened to the power of creation, transform myriad things, granting them spirituality!"

"Hmm?"

Failing with one strike, Gautama's mind jumped again, sensing an extremely strong crisis.

That was...

With no time to marvel at the pure and absolute power of this giant god, he raised a palm, about to strike towards the rising aura deep in the void.

But before he could strike again,

Buddhist sounds echoed in the darkness, and powerful auras gradually awakened from the depths of the void.

Whoosh!

Deep in the void, the collision between those two supreme beings finally reached its final eruption!

Rumble!

The greatest sound is silent, the greatest form is formless!

No one could see or hear what exactly happened in the center of that earth-shattering collision deep in the void.

But the Earth Immortal Realm, separated by infinite dimensions of void, heard a collision sound that exceeded anyone's ability to hear or imagine.

It resounded thunderously!

"Ah!"

In the void, the experts of the various sects and holy lands were the first to bear the brunt, the torrent of divine powers erupting from them extinguished like candles in the wind.

They coughed blood and flew backward in the terrifying void ripples.

"Such power..."

Gautama's mind stirred, and he had to lower his hands, forming a fixed seal under his abdomen, and with the blessing of the Bodhi ancient tree, pointed towards the world.

Buddhist light spread out, expanding with the sound waves, like a lotus platform covering the sky, isolating the sound waves.

This collision had already surpassed the limit of creation and the limit of heaven and earth. Even separated by boundless void, its sound was enough to鎮kill all beings below the Primordial Spirit in the Earth Immortal Realm.

However, even with the obstruction, the echo of this sound wave still shook the entire Earth Immortal Realm, mountains shifting, earth shaking, and rivers and seas boiling.

In the starry sky, countless stars were extinguished, and even shattered!

Rumble!

The huge collision sound continued to spread in the void, not only causing huge waves in the Earth Immortal Realm, but also penetrating countless voids.

Echoing in the dark skies of the Celestial Realm, the Nether Realm, and the Animal Realm.

The realms shook, and the world turned upside down!

Countless beings in each realm looked up, seeing terrifying void torrents pouring down like heavenly rivers, setting off terrifying hurricanes sweeping across the four poles!

In the sky, black cracks appeared, shattered and mottled, like a bronze mirror smashed to pieces.

And in that boundless dark void, a god-man rose like the morning star at dawn.

He raised his hand, and a tender sapling intertwined with seven colors pierced through the darkness and fell into his palm.

Behind him, a huge world that could not be fully seen by the naked eye, the celestial eye, or even divine sense, gradually cracked.

Streams of scarlet, viscous blood rivers could be seen seeping out of the cracks, dripping, disappearing into the void.

As if the heaven and earth were bleeding.

Wailing~~~

Wind sounds like ghosts crying and gods howling flowed through the hearts of all the onlookers, and an indescribable sense of sadness surged in everyone's hearts.

This was the crying of heaven...

"Is the victory or defeat decided? So quickly..."

A powerhouse staggered in the void, almost unable to stand, looking at that scene, a deep despair flowing in his eyes.

That was a Saint's incarnation!

In all the ancient legends, they were absolutely irresistible existences.

It wasn't that no one thought that this old Buddha, known as the closest to a Saint since ancient times, could defeat the incarnation of the Great自在Demon Lord.

But no one could have imagined that it would be so fast...

"Very good, very good!"

The vibrating and cracking Demon Realm Great Heaven and Earth seemed unable to restrain the dissipation of that boundless and huge sea of blood, and scarlet, terrifying blood flowed in the void.

"Miesheng, you are very good..."

The Great自在Heaven Demon Lord stood in the boiling and激荡sea of blood, a coldness freezing the heaven and earth flashing across his indifferent face:

"Everyone underestimated you..."

True destruction was far more difficult than anyone imagined.

The Imperial Heaven was like a completely closed ring, and the transformation of all things within it, the change and destruction of heaven and earth, was just a transformation of different forms.

Destruction in the ordinary sense had no meaning to the Imperial Heaven, to heaven and earth, or to the Saints.

However, at this moment, he felt the demise of the Demon Realm, an irreversible demise.

And the source of everything was that seemingly tender little twig in Miesheng's hand...

"Can you hear it?"

Miesheng stood in the void, and on his chest was a scarlet sword mark, which had left an indelible wound on his indestructible golden body.

So much so that he bled non-stop.

But he seemed unaware, just spreading his hands wide, as if embracing the entire heaven and earth, and his expression changed for the first time:

"Heaven is laughing!"

In the heavens and earth of the realms, and even in the void, there were sounds of 'wailing' echoing.

In everyone's senses, it all seemed like a lament, but Miesheng seemed to hear laughter from it.

"With you in this epoch, it's really amazing..."

The Great自在deeply looked at the calm yet crazy monk, his figure flickering, gradually collapsing and disappearing:

"This seat will see how you use the merit of one lifetime to shake the general trend set by us for billions of epochs..."

Whoosh!

As the voice echoed, the incarnation of the Demon Realm Lord, who had been blocked in the Demon Realm since his descent and had never truly appeared before the myriad spirits of this epoch,

Had disappeared without a trace, only its cause飘忽, under the blessing of the boiling and激荡sea of blood, echoed in the heavens and earth of the realms.

And even above the冥冥unknown river of time:

"Souls, return!"

"Souls, return!"

"Souls, return!"

.......

Demonic sounds rumbled, echoing endlessly, spreading in various spaces and times as the river of time reappeared.

"What is He going to do?"

Sweeping a glance at the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram that was still scattering '炁機', Yang Jian's heart sank inexplicably, and he looked towards the boundless river of time.

The river, encompassing endless years of ancient and modern times, was so huge that he couldn't see his teacher's trace even looking at it.

He could only see that, as the sound waves echoed, ripples appeared on the river, and wisps of flowing light and fragments eventually turned into terrifying figures.

Stepping out of the river!

They either wore ancient clothes, or had simple faces, or held divine weapons, or rode spiritual treasures and exotic beasts...

Their auras were different, but they all revealed an unparalleled domineering will.

"The Divine Ghost Eight Formation Diagram? The one holding the feather fan, could it be that last Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion of the previous dynasty, Zhuge?"

"Ah! That, that peacock, could it be the legendary first demon of the epochs?!"

"Human body, bull's head, like a celestial star, this giant demon, could it be the giant demon who overturned Mount Sumeru back then?!"

"That, what that figure is holding in his hand, could it be the legendary Spirit Yang Rod?!"

"These, these existences are all existences who were said to have attacked the heavens in legends! How could they obey the Demon Lord's call?!"

........

Seeing the legendary existences stepping through the barrier of ancient and modern times and about to reappear in the world, the heavens and earth of the realms were silent.

Then, it was in complete uproar as some people recognized some of the figures.

Everyone was in disbelief.

"Yu, Peacock, Bull Demon, Zhuge... using the most powerful existences of the epochs of time and space to stop me?"

Looking at the figures stepping out from the depths of the river, Miesheng's eyes flickered slightly, as if memories涌上his heart.

Some of these people he knew, some he didn't, but just from their auras, he could recognize that these existences were all peerless powerhouses.

"Unfortunately, they can't beat me..."
