Chapter 274

The illusory water flow made a splashing sound, the Human Emperor's body rose directly from that eternal river of time and fate, transcending the boundless vast sea of suffering, aiming to stand at the pinnacle of all heavens and myriad worlds.

The river of time surged continuously, the boundless sea of suffering churned without cease, seeking to stop him, to drag him back into the sea of suffering.

However, the Dao vessel formed by the six fruits was extremely stable, making the Human Emperor's figure also extremely resolute in climbing toward the pinnacle of all heavens and myriad worlds.

Creation-level mighty divine abilities experts gazed at that emperor's figure whose aura constantly shifted, their hearts filled with myriad emotions.

The Human Emperor's performance in ascending to the Other Shore seemed even easier than that of the Azure Emperor of old, almost as if achieved in a single effort!

It seems that after completing the plan to unify the heavens under the Human Dao, the assistance to this Human Emperor is truly enormous.

Among all heavens and myriad worlds, there may yet again appear an Other Shore Heavenly Will!

At the same time, many also turned their gaze toward the direction of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Once this Human Emperor ascends to the Other Shore, truly ruling over the four extremes, the entirety of all heavens and myriad worlds may become a true Human Dao dynasty.

For Amitabha Buddha, whose path of reduction and seeking emptiness requires establishing an earthly Buddha-land to fulfill his great vow, can he bear to watch this Human Emperor successfully ascend to the Other Shore?

Amidst everyone's curious gazes, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss standing amidst Chaos was utterly silent, and the perfect Buddha within it had fallen into slumber, seeming indifferent to everything outside.

Om

At that moment, boundless light suddenly appeared above the realm of reality, accompanied by a series of grand and cold vows.

"If I attain Buddhahood, then all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Vajras, and Wisdom Kings shall become my incarnations!"

"If I attain Buddhahood, in the three realms and ten directions, throughout all heavens and myriad worlds, I alone shall be the Supreme True Buddha!"

As these eerie, even terrifying, vows sounded, boundless pure white Buddha-light suddenly appeared above the divine capital.

The Buddha-light was extremely pure, allowing no impurity, even evoking an indescribable sense of eeriness.

Within the pure white Buddha-light, a pure white Buddha bearing forty Buddha-teeth suddenly appeared, emanating a terrifying aura far surpassing creation.

"What is that?"

"The Buddha?"

"Nonsense, the Buddha has long since transcended; how could it be the Buddha?"

Exclamations of surprise rang out, and many mighty divine abilities experts showed doubtful expressions.

This pure white Buddha, though not equal to a true Other Shore, is not far off, almost equivalent to a weak Other Shore.

Within Buddhism, aside from Amitabha Buddha and the Ancient Buddha of Bodhi, when did another Other Shore practitioner appear?

Moreover, the other's appearance was quite strange, resembling that transcendent Buddha yet not golden-yellow but a near-eerie pure white.

Amidst everyone's doubtful gazes, the pure white Buddha spread his arms, embracing heaven and earth, and figures of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas appeared around him, performing various forms of the Tathagata's Divine Palm.

The next moment, the many figures merged into a single palm, which descended upon the Human Emperor's body as he ascended to the Other Shore.

Divine Palm Complete, Creation of the Age!

Boundless light burst forth, penetrating spacetime, creating all things, establishing the first era.

Boom!

At the moment the Buddha's palm fell, a deep and resonant bell rang, the entirety of all heavens and myriad worlds dimmed, as if everything lost its color, and the Buddha's palm congealed in the void.

Above the divine capital appeared a figure in black robes and a tall crown, ancient attire, aura lofty and ethereal, as if the ancient Heavenly Emperor had returned to the world.

His visage was blurred, above his head hung a slightly illusory bronze ancient bell; its bell sound rippled outward like waves, causing time to stand still and light and shadow to flow backward.

"Donghuang Taiyi!"

Gazing at that ancient emperor's figure, some divine abilities experts who had survived since the previous era felt a jolt, and the name of that emperor, who was honored as one of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity in the previous era, surfaced in their minds.

Did Donghuang Taiyi not fall?

Donghuang Taiyi gazed with deep eyes at the Supreme True Buddha, as if through the Supreme True Buddha he saw a familiar 'old friend', and he let out an angry roar.

Boom

As the bronze ancient bell swayed, it suppressed the river of time and surged directly toward the Supreme True Buddha, battling the monster left behind after the Buddha's path of reduction and seeking emptiness.

The two incomplete Other Shore beings continually collided, crushing heaven and earth, shattering legal principles, solidified time; for a moment neither could escape the other.

However, the Supreme True Buddha had just been blocked by Donghuang Taiyi; the sky suddenly turned illusory, boundless wisdom intent circulated, and a Daoist with hair tied in two buns, a sallow face and faint whiskers appeared in the realm of reality.

He extended his hand, the Seven Treasures encircling, wisdom as intent, the crystal-clear Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree appeared, sweeping straight toward the Human Emperor's body, aiming to sweep him directly into the river of time and fate.

"Ah!"

At that moment, a sigh sounded, and a Daoist clad in tortoise-snake robes appeared above the divine capital, holding a purple jade ruler invulnerable to all evils, which he swung directly at the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree.

Boundless purple qi gathered, intricate Dao patterns flowed, carrying the innate virtue of invulnerability to all laws; even the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree could not sweep it away—this was the Other Shore Peerless, the Yang Yang Ruler.

"Zhenwu!"

Seeing the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree blocked by the Yang Yang Ruler, Zhunti Daoist furrowed his brow.

Even the anomalies of the Purple Azure Palace seem related to this Human Emperor?

In the Nine Underworlds, the Great Emperor of Fengdu, clad in black imperial robes, suddenly opened his eyes, extending a hand from the black prison of Luofeng, holding aloft a wheel of reincarnation emanating mysterious light, drawing the reincarnation power of all heavens and myriad worlds, connecting the Nine Underworlds with the realm of reality, and descending upon the Human Emperor's body as he ascended to the Other Shore.

In an instant, a mysterious small seal appeared above the divine capital, its surroundings six directions of dark vortices continually shifting, hazy and illusory, as if connecting to the source realm of reincarnation of all heavens and myriad worlds, making the whole world seem somewhat dreamlike.

Rumble

A thunderclap shaking the universe rang out, and an ancient, heavy great axe fell from beyond the heavens—this was the Other Shore Peerless, the Heavenly Punishment Axe.

"Burn", "Devour", "Destroy", "Punish", "Exterminate", "Silence", "Extinguish", "Freeze", "Annihilate"

Nine innate Dao patterns rose from the axe, accompanied by primordial thunder, chaos, destruction and similar phenomena, resembling the Heavenly Dao's punishment.

The Heavenly Punishment Axe directly split the six directions of dark vortices surrounding the reincarnation seal, and became entwined with the seal.

In an instant, Other Shore beings and Other Shore Peerless items continually collided; the entirety of all heavens and myriad worlds constantly trembled, unknown how many universes were directly destroyed, and unknown how many were born.

At the same time, the mighty divine abilities experts of Buddhism also received orders, moving to stop the Human Emperor's ascent to the Other Shore.

Seeing this, the mighty divine abilities experts of the Void Homeland and the Demon Race naturally would not stand idly by; emissaries of the Luo teaching, great sages of the Demon Race, and the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp, among Buddhist mighty divine abilities experts, entered battle together.

The entirety of all heavens and myriad worlds fell into chaos, Other Shore battling Other Shore, Other Shore Peerless versus Other Shore Peerless, Creation clashing with Creation.

Within the boundless Chaos, the three kinds of power inside the Fu Huang's body became ever vaster.

The bright moon hung high, the Supreme Ultimate turned, and Buddha light shone brilliantly.

However, at this moment the three forces did not seem like the bright moon and Supreme Ultimate jointly opposing Buddha light; rather, there was a feeling of a three-way mêlée.

In contrast, among the myriad worlds, the mighty adepts of the Daoist sect's Jade Void, Azure Wanderer, and Tusita lineages were at this moment blank-faced, momentarily unsure whom to aid.

As one of the greatest powers among the myriad worlds, they now seemed to have become outright outsiders.

The other mighty adepts also watched this scene speechlessly, feeling an indescribable strangeness.

The Luo Sect, famed for rebellion, and the Demon Race, once hostile to humanity, now jointly supported a human emperor who ruled the five directions in ascending to the other shore.

All of this seemed utterly fantastical to them.

After a long while, many mighty adepts turned their gaze toward the Fusang domain and the Nine Nether realm.

Now four of the Five Emperors have acted; the remaining Qing Emperor, a present-day other shore, likely will not stand idly by.

And with such a momentous event as the human emperor's landing, the Demon Buddha, that troublemaker, would surely not just watch passively.

Everyone awaited the Qing Emperor and the Demon Buddha, these two other-shore beings, to act.

Within the Fusang domain.

The Qing Emperor's aura connected with the ancient Fusang tree beneath him; his gaze, indifferent, looked toward the Nine Nether realm, locking eyes with a pair of pupils hiding a black-red reversed swastika, as if awaiting the world-ending demon to step forth from the Nine Nether.

And in the deepest part of the Nine Nether.

The Demon Buddha sat cross-legged, coldly observing the state of the Real Realm, gazing at those indifferent eyes of the Fusang domain.

Especially upon seeing the figure of Donghuang Taiyi, his eyes betrayed an undisguised killing intent.

However, he did not move, seeming utterly indifferent to the human emperor's ascent to the other shore, or perhaps waiting for something.

Amid the disappointed gazes of many mighty adepts, the Demon Buddha and the Qing Emperor, these two other-shore beings, did not act, seemingly forming a standoff.

Within the Divine Capital, without external interference, the human emperor's person swiftly transcended the river of time and space, beginning to penetrate past and future.

After completing the plan of human governance of heaven and ruling the five directions, his foundation was already comparable to an other shore; adding insights from his other realms, his speed in penetrating past and future reached the extreme, the obstruction of the time-space river almost vanished, and in an instant he arrived at the dawn of this era.

Om

Just then, strands of foul qi suddenly appeared above the Divine Capital, bringing endless chaos and madness.

A pitch-black, eerie hand with six fingers suddenly emerged, as if the condensation of the myriad worlds' foul path, able to corrode everything.

Demon Emperor's Claw!

Demon Sovereign!

Seeing this, many mighty adepts showed no surprise.

During the demonic chaos upon the earth, the Demon Sovereign was an unparalleled genius, merging and mastering heretical demonic arts, founding the primordial demonic path, worthy of being called the pride of the age.

But unfortunately, he encountered the human emperor.

After the human emperor's rise, the Demon Sovereign repeatedly fell to his hand; were it not for the fully awakened Demon Emperor's Claw protecting him, he would long ago have become another soul beneath the human emperor's sword.

Now, with this new human emperor ascending to the other shore, the Demon Sovereign's choice to act to stop him is quite normal.

One does not know whether the Qing Emperor will choose to act.

Boom

Before the crowd's thoughts could fully settle, the entire Divine Capital ancient city suddenly blazed with light, as if transformed into a complete realm of the myriad worlds, bearing an eternal, immutable perfection, like an impregnable fortress.

The pitch-black eerie Demon Emperor's Claw fell upon the Divine Capital ancient city; the endless foul qi circulated, yet could not truly corrode the city, let alone strike the human emperor himself.

"Other Shore Peerless!"

The Demon Sovereign let out a cry of astonishment; only an Other Shore Peerless could possibly resist the corrosion of this Other Shore Peerless, the Demon Emperor's Claw.

This ancient city of the Divine Capital is actually an Other Shore Peerless?

How could that be?

Clang

Before his thoughts could fully settle, a heavy sword's resonance rang; the Demon Sovereign's vision blurred, and a pale gold long sword fell toward him.

Countless images kept turning; the Demon Sovereign seemed to see his own doom of falling.

A grand and righteous kingly sword intent entered his heart, making his innate spirit tremble; he felt only panic and despair, his fighting spirit gone, wanting only to submit to that pale gold long sword.

Now the human emperor seems even more terrifying than the medieval human emperors who once ascended to the other shore!

Just then, the Demon Emperor's Claw in his hand suddenly blazed, staining the Demon Sovereign's spirit and wiping away all negative emotions.

Clang

At the moment the human emperor's sword fell, a river of light appeared around the Demon Sovereign, within which many images flowed—those of past Demon Sovereigns.

Each previous Demon Sovereign had a human emperor's sword fall upon him, to slay him in the past.

Om

The Demon Emperor's Claw blazed, boundless foul intent flowing, directly staining the Demon Sovereign's past and future, as if merging into one, gathering his past and future, then colliding with the pale gold long sword.

Clang clang clang

These two Other Shore Peerless items are old rivals, constantly colliding; the Demon Sovereign thus became entirely a puppet of the Demon Emperor's Claw, this Other Shore Peerless deemed the foremost in foulness.

Upon the river of time and space, the human emperor's person did not heed external changes, but directly stepped into the Chaos between two eras.

Boom—

The myriad worlds dimmed; all light vanished, black and white seeming nonexistent, leaving only a expanse of Chaos.

Other Shore Phenomenon: Heaven and Earth Chaos!

Deepest part of the Nine Nether.

Remnants of the Nether Sea.

Seeing this, the Demon Buddha's lips curled into a faint smile, and he rose to his feet.

Boom

At the moment he rose, the Demon Buddha suddenly manifested a nine-headed, twenty-six-faced anti-Buddha demon form, each face seemingly embodying the various negative emotions in the hearts of all beings, filled with the intent of great destruction, great decline, great madness, and great ruin.

Those dozens of eyes flickered with a dark red hue, countless black‑red reversed swastika symbols circulating within them, all gazing toward the source of the Nine Underworld.

Boom—

The Nine Underworld trembled, countless black‑red reversed swastika symbols flowing into its source like water, spreading throughout the Nine Underworld.

In an instant, all realms of the Nine Underworld were stained black‑red, as if turned into a person's viscera, writhing madly with indescribable chaos and insanity.

All heavens and myriad worlds fell silent; everyone was shaken by the Nine Underworld's changes, to the point that even the Human Emperor's ascent to the Other Shore was forgotten, and all eyes turned to the Nine Underworld.

"The Demon Buddha actually intends to refine the Nine Underworld Realm while the various Other Shores check and balance each other!"

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but feel shocked by the Demon Buddha's madness.

No wonder the Demon Buddha didn't stop the Human Emperor's ascent to the Other Shore—he was waiting for this chance to fulfill his own goal.

Nine Underworld's Sea of Blood.

The Nine Underworld Blood Demon, his body filled with endless bloodlight, his expression shifted slightly, but upon seeing the distant figure that seemed a negative manifestation of time, he couldn't help but sigh.

With the Black Heaven Emperor, this false Other Shore, present, I too cannot act to stop the Demon Buddha.

In that case

Hum

The next moment, the Nine Underworld Blood Demon stepped forward and left the Nine Underworld Realm directly.

As he left the Nine Underworld, the bloodlight around him dissipated, emitting a soft, pure light imbued with the boundless meaning of Chaos, embracing all things.

"Yang Jian!"

"The Nine Underworld Blood Demon is actually Yang Jian transformed!"

"No wonder this evil god suddenly attained the false Other Shore realm!"

One mighty adept after another wore expressions of disbelief, unable to help feeling astonished at how deeply the third‑generation Jade Void disciple had concealed his power.

And as Yang Jian departed, the Demon Buddha's pace of refining the Nine Underworld quickened again; countless dark‑red reversed swastika symbols circulated through the Nine Underworld realms like a relentless maw, devouring the Nine Underworld's myriad Great Dao principles.

The black‑red hue gradually suffused the Nine Underworld realms, and frenzied, bizarre eyes appeared, looking down upon the Nine Underworld's demons and monsters, compelling them to instinctively submit.

Deepest Nine Underworld.

The Demon Buddha's gaze turned beyond the Real Realm to the Fusang Realm, his eyes filled with endless madness, as if waiting for the Green Emperor to enter the Nine Underworld, waiting to stop him from preventing the Demon Buddha's refinement of the Nine Underworld.

Fusang Realm.

Facing the changes in the Nine Abyss Realm, the expression of the Green Emperor's incarnation did not fluctuate much, but instead directly looked toward a figure beside him.

Besides the Green Emperor's incarnation, Feng Yi's true self sat cross-legged here, his internal had already reached the limit, he had arrived at the pinnacle of his own path, only lacking the final ultimate leap to reach the end of his path.

"The time has come; it is time to prove the Dao and become an Immortal Emperor!"

Seeing the changes in the Nine Abyss, Feng Yi's heart stirred; his internal Immortal Emperor's Dharma became completely perfect, and began to undergo the most essential transformation toward a completely new level.

Boom

As Feng Yi's true self broke through to the Ultimate-Path Immortal Emperor, a completely new heretical Other Shore path appeared in the river of fate of the myriad heavens, completely different from the current cultivation system, giving rise to a special future branch.

Completely different from the Other Shore, yet powerful to the point of terror, this vast aura instantly penetrated the entirety of the myriad heavens.

In an instant, the myriad heavens fell silent, and the many Other Shore beings engaged in battle also immediately ceased their movements.

Even the demon Buddha refining the Nine Abyss immediately stopped his own actions.

Tusita Palace, Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Bodhi Pure Land, Demon Emperor's Hall, Jade Emperor Mountain, the Void homeland, and even the deepest reaches of the Nine Abyss.

All the Other Shore dojos trembled, and they saw the future branch that the Green Emperor had previously hidden.

Gazes instantly turned toward the Fusang domain, their eyes filled with indescribable shock.

Hum

At this moment, a white light appeared in the myriad heavens, shattering the phenomena of heaven and earth's Chaos, illuminating every corner of the myriad heavens, including the highest layer of the Nine Heavens and the deepest reaches of the Nine Abyss, even lighting up the scenery of the previous era.

Second type of Other Shore phenomenon: Illuminating the Ten Directions!

The Human Emperor's incarnation has completely ascended to the Other Shore!
