They are no longer simply Buddhas.

Rather, it is a monster born from the combination of some extreme ideas and ancient power.

"Transcendence? In front of our true bodies, all is false."

The Killing Merit Buddha swung his broken sword, and a dark golden blade light that spanned the galaxy tore through the void, slashing towards Ning Feng with the murderous will to destroy all souls.

"False?"

Ning Feng's body was as fast as lightning, avoiding the dark golden blade light that was tearing through the galaxy.

The primordial light circulated on the surface of the body, turning the scattered murderous aura into nothingness.

His piercing gaze swept across the nine Buddha statues, each with its own distinct form, yet all equally horrifically twisted and distorted. "You've twisted yourselves into this state. Do you think you're worthy of talking about 'merit'? Or of being called a 'Buddha'?"

"Ignorant junior!"

The flesh-and-blood prayer flags of the Cursed Meritorious Buddha fluttered, the sound waves of the wailing resentful souls distorting time and space. "Do you know what 'Great Nirvana' is?"

"That is the end of everything, the complete extinction of all concepts and existence."

"Even space and time itself will collapse, freeze, and return to a dead, silent 'nothingness'."

"How mighty was the Primordial World? How majestic was the Dragon Emperor? But in the face of true 'Great Nirvana', they are but a candle in the wind."

The chaotic head of the Silent Merit Buddha slowly spun, emitting a low roar that devoured light. "To resist this ultimate 'nothingness', to preserve the spark of civilization and continue 'existence' itself, why not sacrifice individual freedom and form, integrate into a higher order, and forge an 'eternal barrier'?"

"We have abandoned our majestic and precious appearances, carried the karma of all living beings, and incarnated into this form precisely to secure a glimmer of hope for future generations amidst the tide of extinction."

"This is... a great merit."

"What is great merit? What is great merit?"

Ning Feng sneered. The Heavenly Dao Sword drew a mysterious trajectory, severing the entwined dark golden tentacles. The twisted Merit Buddha screamed in pain, "Life at the cost of devouring the epoch and refining all living beings?"

"This life is stained with blood and sin, and is cold to the bone."

"You keep saying you're fighting against annihilation, but what you're doing now is no different from the tide of annihilation. It's just another form of destruction."

The blood-colored torrent spewing out of the eyes of the Filthy Merit Buddha collided with the sword light slashed out by Ning Feng, and annihilated each other.

It sneered sharply, "What is destruction? What is rebirth? Where is the boundary?"

"Boy, you are too young. You simply don't understand that under the shadow of 'Great Nirvana', all established ethics and forms must be broken."

"The Way of Heaven initially sought a gentle path, guiding all beings to unite their wills... but it was too slow, too weak."

"Faced with a force capable of obliterating all concepts, the only solution is ultimate integration, the elimination of all unstable 'variables'."

"For example, your ridiculous free will can only gather a powerful enough force."

The dark shadow of the Despairing Merit Buddha hung low in the sky, reflecting countless desperate faces.

Its voice was filled with endless fatigue and coldness. "We... were once like you, filled with passion and a firm belief that the power of all living things could change our fate."

"But failure after failure, the collapse of one era after another..."

“Let us understand that the light of an individual is as small as dust in the face of extinction.”

"Only by embodying rules, embodying order, or even... embodying an existence more despairing than annihilation, can one... survive."

"This is our past, our choice."

"From the 'meritorious Buddha' who protected all living beings, to the 'remnant Buddha' who now absorbs the survival of all living beings."

"We've walked this road for too long, and there's no turning back."

The dark flames surrounding the Karma Fire Merit Buddha burned fiercely, and the sinful souls screamed in the fire, "Merge in, Ning Feng."

"Your talent, your 'transcendent' state of mind, may become a stable 'constant' in the new order."

"Why cling to that fleeting 'freedom' that is destined to be swallowed by annihilation?"

"Join us, become part of this 'eternal barrier', and bear witness... even the cruelest... 'eternity'."

"Did you hear that?"

The voice of the Buddha of Infinite Merit was ever-changing, sometimes compassionate, sometimes ferocious. "This is the truth, this is the past that has led us to perdition."

"The great annihilation is coming, and no one can escape."
