Chapter 744 The Battle of the Other Shore: The Golden Emperor vs. the Demonized Three Pure Ones

On the long river of time, a faint light descends. Though small, it gradually becomes clearer, revealing a hazy world with no end in sight. Within it lies great freedom and bliss, filled with eternal stillness and tranquility, as if it were the original home and final destination of all living beings.

White lotuses bloom, their radiant light transforming into a misty haze. Surrounded by these white lotuses, a holy deity descends, her attire both intricate and light, ancient yet elegant. Her face seems veiled by the endless void, blurred and difficult to discern, leaving only her eyes, which surpass all others in the world, to leave a lasting impression.

"The Eternal Mother!"

The three magnificent lights of the other shore—Buddha's light, Tao's light, and demon's light—sounded as they intertwined, collided, and coalesced to create an unparalleled power that transcended the sea of ​​suffering. Even the slightest trace of their energy could obliterate the perfection of creation.

"You wretched creature, do you dare to challenge me?" However, the emperor before him paid no heed to this immense power.

Surrounded by a clear light, it coalesced into a full, round moon, from which countless tiny white lotuses drifted down. Each white lotus gave rise to a deity, representing a different rule of the Great Dao.

A hint of displeasure flashed in those eyes that held all the beauty in the world. At this moment, He was the only ancient being in the past, the one closest to the Dao Fruit, possessing almost omniscient and omnipotent power, and qualified to look down on everything.

"It's not a challenge, just an attempt to hinder you for a moment and create an opportunity." Among the three beams of light from the other shore, the Demon Buddha made the first move, and the Samsara Seal shook the heavens and the earth.

The power from Lingbao Tianzun burst forth in an instant, transforming into the four great killing swords of annihilation, trap, and destruction, which shot towards Wusheng Laomu, bringing about the freezing of time, the shattering of the void, and the end of all things.

A ray of Taoist light and a ray of Buddhist light followed closely behind, intertwining in mid-air and transforming into an axe that opened up all things. The existence of all heavens was brought about by the speed of this axe light, and the long river of time stood still in front of it.

The radiance of the fusion of Buddhism and Taoism caught up with the sword light of the end, the three becoming one, a unified whole, causing waves to rise in the long river of time, evaporating endless mysteries, leaving only the most extreme power.

This axe was boundless, formless, and without upper or lower limits. It simply existed, yet it tore apart the long river of time. The immense divine axe fell, cleaving down towards the full moon.

At that moment, a detached and emotionless voice rang out: "Even a grain of rice can shine!"

That perfect, flawless, and bright moonlight illuminated the entire river of time, encompassing everything—whether creation or end, existence or anything else—all were reflected in this moon, as if returning home.

In all the heavens and myriad realms, apart from Su Meng Tianzun, who transformed from one Qi into the Three Pure Ones, who else could understand the mysteries of the Three Pure Ones on the other shore better than Her, the Queen Mother of the West of Kunlun?

Under the moonlight, the Triune axe was nothing but a toy, shattering completely in an instant.

"Mere remnants, yet you dare to defy me!" the imperial figure in the radiance said displeasedly.

"We do not want to fight you, we just want to stall you for a while."

"Time changes everything. If Mother doesn't want the other beings on the other side to discover your schemes, then stop for a moment." The Demon Buddha smiled. As the three avatars that Meng Qi had created, they had separated from Su Meng Tianzun and become independent individuals. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were Su Meng's sons. Logically speaking, they should call Gu Xiaosang "Mother."

"Hmph, go say that to Su Meng. I don't have unfilial sons like you!" Gu Xiaosang snorted coldly, quite displeased. The fact that her husband had given birth to three sons on his own... was quite common among those on the other side.

For example, she was conceived by the Unborn Mother, and Gu Xiaosang is almost identical to her, making her a mythical clone.

But seeing her husband raise three sons on his own and then immediately declare that he wanted to kill Su Meng to attain enlightenment, Gu Xiaosang, who still had some humanity left, found it somewhat difficult to accept.

Therefore, the grape trellis in Yuxu Palace collapsed once again, and to this day, that Heavenly Venerable is still repairing the grape trellis.

The next moment, the power of the Bitter Sea surged, and the three rays of light—Opening, Existence, and End—merged into one, forming a long river of time. As incarnations created by Su Meng Tianzun, although they were rebellious, they were indeed genuine beings of the Other Shore level.

It possesses power at the level of the weaker than the other shore from the moment it is born. Even if it splits into three and falls in realm, it can return to its peak as long as it reunites.

However, what they were facing now was the real ancient being, the Golden Emperor of the Other Shore, Gu Xiaosang!

"Get down!" the one on the other shore shouted.

With a flick of the finger, the power of the ancients erupted, and the supreme radiance formed by the three intertwined beams was struck and trembled continuously. The world that existed within it collapsed everywhere, and the cracks of the undying path remained forever.

"Your playful antics end here!" That slender, fair hand, perfect in every way, scooped up an ancient, weathered divine axe from the river of time and placed it into that perfect jade hand.

It resembles a bronze casting, ancient and majestic, with nine inscriptions on it, including flames, thunder, and void, like an embodiment of the Tao.

It has nine ancient seal script characters depicting the Great Dao, seemingly explaining the impending calamity and the destiny of transforming into immortals and falling to the mortal realm.

The tall, stunning figure carrying a divine axe that exuded a sense of vastness seemed somewhat out of place with her demeanor.

But at this moment, no one noticed this imperfection; everyone was focused on dealing with the axe of the banished immortal.

This is because it is an ancient being from the other side wielding an unparalleled divine weapon.

"Reincarnation Seal!" The Demon Buddha clasped his hands together, fully activating the power of this indestructible seal. The seals conjured up scenes of the Nine Netherworlds and the mortal realm, dark and profound, mysterious and enigmatic, seemingly capable of casting any great supernatural being into different reincarnations, and imbuing those on the other shore with acquired feelings.

"It's just a projection. Do you think you can defy the heavens with this?" Gu Xiaosang held the Heavenly Punishment Axe in her slender, fair hand, surrounded by nine clear Dao patterns. She slashed at the unified light source that contained the profound mysteries of the Three Pure Ones with a stern and murderous gesture.

The Reincarnation Seal only belonged to him in the past. The original Reincarnation Seal now belongs to another. If it weren't for Su Mengtianzun using his power to separate time, he wouldn't even be able to manifest this mark.

"when!"

In a single exchange, the Reincarnation Seal was sent flying by the Axe of Annihilation. Gu Xiaosang continued to swing the divine axe in her hand, unleashing the power of a banished immortal from the three dimensions of past, present, and future, aiming to knock down their realm and turn them from immortals to mortals.

Having just traversed the land where the old and new eras intersected, and arrived in this past time and space, a banished immortal axe, intertwined with chaotic thunder and calamity, suddenly appeared above their heads.

Having initially separated into one, they were planning to seize the imprints of the Three Pure Ones from the past, enhance their foundation, and forge their own path in preparation for their future ascent to the other shore. Just as they had condensed their physical bodies, the Demon Buddha Meng Qi, who was sitting cross-legged under the Bodhi branch, had a Heavenly Punishment Axe descending from above his head, the power of the banished immortals surging, aiming to completely end him.

.........

On the other battlefield, Qin Tian had already suppressed the demonic Buddha who possessed the Three Pure Ones' Body. Countless runes flashed in his pupils, analyzing the mysteries of the Three Pure Ones' unification. "A money-giving boy!"

"Meng Qi is so kind to me. He just gave me some rare and precious materials, and now he's given me the profound teachings of the Three Pure Ones to help me advance even further." Why did Qin Tian believe so much that the Three Pure Ones' Dharma images that came to cause him trouble were a gift?

Because he already knew that Meng Qi was a qualified Yuanshi Tianzun.

The three avatars, created from His own essence, are free from outside interference. How could they possibly escape His control? How could they escape the control of Heaven's will?

It's all fate, it's all destiny!
These three seemingly incredibly powerful individuals have actually been operating under the arrangement of fate all along; every step they take is a reflection of destiny.

However, this arrangement is probably not very stable, otherwise Gu Xiaosang wouldn't be in charge of overseeing and controlling the overall situation.

"Alas, it's a pity I time-traveled too late; I'll never see a true Mang Jingang."

"All that remains is the Primordial Celestial Venerable Su Meng!" Qin Tian sighed, but quickly put that sentiment out of his mind.

Meng Qi's own changes in personality have little to do with him; it is the profound meaning of the Three Pure Ones that is most relevant to him.

This is absolutely the best of the best. If the profound meaning contained within it could be integrated into his Pangu Dharma Form, it would definitely take this Dharma Form to the next level, transforming it into an unparalleled masterpiece.

"Since it is Pangu, how can it not contain the profound meaning of 'one breath transforming into three pure beings'?"

"I'm going to take your ultimate techniques!" Qin Tian raised his hand, and the Overlord Blade tore through the void and fell into his hand.

"Hmph, we also have artifacts from the other shore!" The Taoist leader beside the Demon Buddha raised his hand and summoned a Seven Star Sword.

The ancient sword reveals seven crystal-clear holes, as if the seven realms of the universe remain within them, dim and uncertain, dark and gloomy, like the intertwining of the end and the beginning, representing the balanced evolution of all things in the middle.

"Having traversed countless mountains and rivers, and searched through the ages, I have finally recovered a portion of the lost artifacts from the Tushita Palace!" The Demon Buddha stroked the Seven Star Sword, and wisps of magnificent sword energy swept across its surface.

"The genuine Seven Star Sword!" Qin Tian's eyes flickered slightly. Once upon a time, he also had a Seven Star Sword, but he later melted it down and took it a step further, transforming it into the Supreme Heavenly Blade.

“This is not easy!”

"With this thing in hand, Golden Horn and Silver Horn could deal with Sun Wukong when he reached the pinnacle of his cultivation. It is undoubtedly an absolute divine artifact from the other shore."

In this world, the Journey to the West is not for the purpose of spreading Buddhism to the East, or rather, the spread of Buddhism to the East is merely a means. It is an immense ritual that imprints the concept of "Journey to the West" throughout all the heavens and myriad worlds, using this ritual to benefit the officiant.

It was through this very ritual that the Buddha ascended to the status of an ancient being, almost comparable to the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

The eighty-one tribulations of Journey to the West, which can cause even the perfectly enlightened Sun Wukong to suffer setbacks, more or less involve the realm of the afterlife.

The Vajra Bracelet is an unparalleled divine weapon, as are the Immortal Binding Rope and the Purple Gold Gourd... which are clearly also unparalleled divine weapons.

This shows how wealthy the Three Pure Ones were.

At the very beginning of the era, there were only three beings of the other shore in the world: the Three Pure Ones. At that time, countless things were formed from innate rules similar to the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool, and without exception, they all fell into the hands of the Three Pure Ones and became artifacts of the other shore.

Therefore, the Three Pure Ones can be considered the richest people in the world.

"I'm sorry, Meng Xiaoqi."

"Blame your heartless brother!" Qin Tian wielded the Overlord Blade, transforming from extreme stillness into extreme dynamism.

The most domineering move in the Six Slashes of the Overlord, when combined with the ultimate power of the Dharma Form, is enough to unleash power far exceeding that of an Overlord of the same realm.

A dazzling, blazing sword light surged upwards, traversing the void. Various "forces" emerged under the characteristics of this Pangu Dharma Image, becoming his tools.

Ripples of time rose up, transforming into a black and white cage, freezing the Demon Buddha there like a clay puppet.

The blade light that followed was exceptionally domineering, possessing the aura to shatter all laws and annihilate the enemy's head, and it rushed straight towards the three heads.

"Disperse!" The Daoist leader on his right opened his eyes, but without making any move, time began to flow again. All things and phenomena are built upon existence, and the long river of time is no exception.

The Daoist Master's gaze shifted again, and the domineering blade light that had cleaved through the void was immediately banished into the boundless void.

Qin Tian's gaze remained calm as he manifested his three-headed, six-armed form, his combat power surging. His aura filled the surroundings, turning them into a chaotic and terrifyingly oppressive atmosphere: "It's all time to end this!"

Just as the battle here reached its climax, the war that had been fought over the long river of time had already come to an end.

.........

The Heavenly Punishment Axe fell continuously, striking simultaneously from the past, future, and present, shaking the rules of all realms, turning fallen gods into humans, and plunging those on the other shore back into the sea of ​​suffering.

Under the Trinity, although they reached the pinnacle of their lives, they could never defeat that ancient being who stood alone in the world. He controlled the future and had already determined their fate of defeat.

The unified form of the Three Pure Ones was shattered by the Heavenly Punishment Axe, and transformed back into three beams of immortal light—Tao, Demon, and Buddha—falling into the long river of time.

"If you want to challenge me, at least your true forms must personally step out and merge into one..." Gu Xiaosang did not kill him. The Three Pure Ones Demon Shadows were not surprised. As products of Meng Qi's subtraction and emptiness, no matter who killed them, the Golden Emperor would not kill them.
