It was as if a demon was suppressing a Buddha, yet also as if a Buddha was sealing a demon. The demon and Buddha merged, yet remained independent, their power transcending time and space, eternally indestructible.
Li Chengfeng roared towards the sky, a furious bellow that shook the heavens and the earth.
Guided by his will, the Black Lotus Buddha-Heart Pagoda hovered steadily above his head, while he continued to sit cross-legged, eyes closed in concentration.
Immediately following, a sword's cry, a resonant '嗡,' echoed through the void. A long sword imbued with the power of both Buddha and demon slowly emerged from the void, hovering before him, its tip lightly pointed, its sharpness fully revealed.
Behind him, the faint image of the Quiet Meditation Monk slowly walked out. It was a figure from the depths of reincarnation, his steps faltering, his face blurred, yet revealing boundless vicissitudes and sorrow.
The Quiet Meditation Monk, however, always maintained a compassionate smile on his face.
Yes, he walked from the end of reincarnation, because in this world, reincarnation was broken, the underworld destroyed. Those departed souls could no longer step onto the shores of reincarnation, but could only wander in this endless nothingness, until eternity.
In that ancient and desolate world, the Quiet Meditation Monk had already transcended all the constraints of the mortal world, becoming an unshakable monument in Li Chengfeng's heart.
For Li Chengfeng, the Quiet Meditation Monk was not only a comrade-in-arms, but also the only battle confidant in the depths of his soul to whom he could pour out his heart.
Although they had only experienced one life-and-death struggle together, the Quiet Meditation Monk's compassionate heart, feeling pity for all humanity and saving all living beings, had silently nourished Li Chengfeng's parched heart like a spring rain.
At this moment, the Quiet Meditation Monk took firm and steady steps, walking step by step towards the top of the towering Black Lotus Buddha-Heart Pagoda.
As he advanced, the pagoda's body radiated brilliant Buddha-light, dazzling and radiant, as if even the sky was illuminated by this divine power.
Each ray of Buddha-light contained boundless compassion and wisdom, seemingly telling of the Quiet Meditation Monk's lifelong cultivation and perseverance.
On the other side of the Quiet Meditation Monk, on a dark and secluded path, the figure of Old Ancestor Qingyun slowly emerged.
He was clad in a black robe, his face twisted, his eyes flashing with cunning and evil light.
As an existence of supreme evil, Old Ancestor Qingyun's return was undoubtedly a huge challenge to this world.
At the beginning, Li Chengfeng used his own strength to send him into reincarnation, attempting to purify his soul. However, the road of reincarnation was broken, and Old Ancestor Qingyun could only wander in the endless void, becoming a wisp of lonely, helpless ghost.
Now, Li Chengfeng forcibly tore him out of the abyss of reincarnation, granting Old Ancestor Qingyun a chance to be reborn.
But this did not mean that Old Ancestor Qingyun would repent and reform. On the contrary, the demonic energy on his body was even more turbulent, sweeping in like raging waves.
His body became twisted and grotesque, growing demon hands, sprouting dark demon wings on his back, and growing sharp demon horns on his head.
Each step made the ground tremble slightly, as if even the heavens and the earth were trembling for his arrival.
When Old Ancestor Qingyun and the Quiet Meditation Monk met each other's eyes, the corners of their mouths curled into a meaningful smile.
This smile was both a mockery of each other's fate and an anticipation of the upcoming battle. The power of Buddha and demon boiled like the sea at this moment, surging and surging, as if to devour the entire world.
That power was so great that even the surrounding air became distorted and chaotic, and a suffocating sense of oppression permeated the heavens and the earth.
At this moment, the Black Lotus Buddha-Heart Pagoda seemed to be awakened by some ancient and mysterious will, standing majestically in the void, resonating with the heavens and the earth.
In an instant, the wind and clouds in the void changed, and from the supreme demon realm—the Ancient Demon Realm—a divine weapon containing endless demonic intent, crossed the shackles of time and space, and invested true Ancient Demon power. That power was tyrannical and wild, like raging waves, tearing through the air and striking directly at the pagoda.
At the same time, from the supreme Buddha realm—the Little Western Paradise—shining with holy Buddha-light, a pure and flawless Buddha-light was also projected from the Buddha realm. That Buddha-light was warm and peaceful, in stark contrast to the tyranny of the demon realm. Although the two forces were subtle, they contained monstrous intent, and together they poured into the pagoda.
At this moment, the pagoda seemed to be endowed with life. It hummed softly, the Buddha-light and demon energy intertwined, dazzling and radiant, illuminating the entire world.
This was the convergence of power between Buddha and demon, the collision and fusion of the wills of the two great worlds.
The injection of these two forces made the pagoda a bridge connecting the Buddha and demon realms. No matter where they were, as long as there were talented and stunning people, they could feel the call of this power and receive the blessing of the Ancient Demon Realm and the Buddha Realm, because this represented the recognition and expectation of the two worlds for them.
Seeing this scene, a look of disbelief flashed in Old Ancestor Qingyun's eyes. It was not until this moment that he truly realized that the young man in front of him, Li Chengfeng, was definitely not something ordinary.
The strength of his strength had exceeded his imagination, and it could be described as monstrous.
Old Ancestor Qingyun felt secretly saddened that his return meant he was no longer the number one person in the human world.
At this time, the entire Seven Emotions and Six Desires Space began to tremble wildly.
It seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and began to slowly shrink, evolving towards a bead.
This shrinking was not a simple spatial compression, but the internal space remained unchanged, but the power of reincarnation was layered upon layer, and the ways of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires were separated and reunited, and were undergoing a special transformation.
In this process, everything in the space would be torn apart, crushed, destroyed, and then recombined into a brand new world. This was like the destruction and rebirth of heaven and earth, full of endless mystery and unknown.
Li Chengfeng sat there quietly, a faint smile on his lips.
He had already sensed all these changes, and he already had a countermeasure in his heart.
He formed hand seals, and as the magic arts were cast, mysterious runes flashed in the air, making a buzzing sound.
He was waiting for this moment. When the entire world shrank into a bead, it would be the best time for him to make a move.
Suddenly, the entire world seemed to be swallowed by an invisible force, and instantly shrank into a crystal clear bead, hanging in the void.
Li Chengfeng, however, was quick-witted and quick-handed. With a flash of his figure, with a 'swoosh,' the bead containing the secret of the Great Shift of the Universe underwent a strange change from the inside out. It flashed in the air and eventually disappeared without a trace.
When the bead reappeared, it was already in the void outside. Old Ancestor Qingyun followed closely behind, his eyes full of astonishment and admiration.
Li Chengfeng reached out and grabbed it, and the bead fell steadily into his hand like an obedient child.
This scene was too dramatic, and Xuanwu and Fairy Soul Hunter were stunned. They almost stopped breathing, because their long-awaited plan seemed to be about to be completed.
