"However, he is also a part of the Buddha," Qing Yu murmured.

Although he fought against the Buddha, vowing to eradicate all Buddhist laws and annihilate all Buddhist disciples, this does not negate Papiyan's origins—he is indeed the heart demon of the Buddha.

This also represents...

A thought flashed through Qing Yu's mind, his pupils contracted violently as he looked in astonishment at the illusory door behind Xinyuan.

Behind this door lies the Pure Land, which houses the Buddha's Dharma Body.

And now, strands of inexplicable aura are drifting out from the door into the void. Qing Yu surmised that the focal point of these auras is the location of Demon Buddha Papiyan.

"Buddha and demon transformation, Buddha can become demon, and demon can become Buddha. Papiyan can receive the Buddha's power, allowing himself to grow ever stronger, becoming the strongest demon, and then reverse to become Buddha. At that time, it will be when the Buddha descends to the world," Xinyuan said with a profound smile, laying out the Buddha's plan to Qing Yu.

To this day, Papiyan has already merged with the true consciousness of the Three Days, and the plan is nearing success.

Qing Yu witnessed Papiyan's transformation and had been to the Pure Land. Others might not guess the relationship between the Buddha and Papiyan, but Qing Yu surely could.

After all, he himself is a practitioner who embodies both Buddha and demon and is the inheritor of the Silent Annihilation Sky Demon.

"But it's not that simple to reverse Papiyan into Buddha. Putting aside anything else, the Demon Buddha himself wouldn't willingly lose his identity to transform into Buddha," Qing Yu interrupted unceremoniously.

The Demon Buddha Papiyan is not a puppet. Surely, he wouldn't be willing to become the sacrificial lamb for the Buddha's advent; he will become the Buddha's final barrier.

"The Buddha planned to such an extent, and this last step, I don't believe he can't cross it," Xinyuan responded calmly.

Indeed, the Buddha is so cunning, using the Buddhist sect as a pawn, planning to this very step.

The Buddhist sect has been repeatedly suppressed, Nalanda Temple accepted the Divine Artifacts of the Three-faced God in three days—these are all inseparable from the Buddha's planning.

Could a person like that fall at this last step?

Qing Yu felt it was precarious for both Papiyan and the Buddha.

Rather than hoping that the cunning Buddha would fall at the final step, it's better to rely on himself—to prevent Papiyan from reaching the ultimate goal and make the premise of reversing into Buddha fall through.

When the Demon Buddha Papiyan reverses into Buddha, an intangible bond will form between his consciousness and the Buddha's, through which the Buddha can escape into Papiyan's body.

By then, Papiyan's body will completely absorb the power of the Buddha's Dharma Body, becoming the new Buddha, with the Demon Buddha no longer existing.

'Such a clever plan, no wonder he could achieve the Tao Realm,' Qing Yu thought to himself.

Neither the Buddha nor the Dao Ancestor is a fool. Qing Yu and the likes of the Supreme Taoist Master might claim they are not less wise than others, but the plans laid down over years by those two old foxes are not something intelligence alone can overcome.

You may be smart, but your opponent isn't an idiot; they won't let you easily break the setup.

"Actually, the Buddha also holds Lord Qingyu in high regard," Xinyuan suddenly said, "If the plan fails, then it will be up to you, Lord Qingyu, to break the seal."

Once again, the same scenario.

Whether the Buddha's or Dao Ancestor's plans succeed, they both have a great fallback. As long as Qingyu seeks to achieve the Tao Realm, he must break the seal, and when that happens, it will be the time when both of them descend to the world.

In any case, those two will not suffer a loss.

Unless Qing Yu is willing to abandon his path forward, abandon breaking through to the Tao Realm, the Buddha's and Dao Ancestor's descendance into the world cannot be avoided.

Of course, if in the end, the Supreme Taoist Master succeeds, defends the Heavenly Dao, and eliminates Qing Yu and other rebellious beings, then all will be well, and those two will have to sit firmly in prison.

It is for this reason that Xinyuan says the Buddha holds Qing Yu in high regard. Because Qing Yu is their backup plan, the best contingency plan.

"Then I really have to thank the Buddha for thinking so highly of me,"

Qing Yu replied, not with anger, but rather with a calm demeanor.

Throwing out harsh words won't hurt the other party in the slightest. It only reveals one's own powerlessness. If you really want to be ruthless, you must show it when dealing with the enemy, like slashing a few more times before they die, or desecrating their bodies afterward.

It's pointless to throw harsh words now.

"Boom—"

At this moment, a roar echoed from afar, an overwhelming demonic explosion erupted in the sky, the airwaves like a turbulent current stormed across the lands, even here, the fierce and wild aura could be felt.

Demon Buddha Papiyan, after continuously receiving the Buddha's power, began to truly counterattack.

"Let us witness the might of the Demon Buddha together," Xinyuan smiled, conjuring the scene from afar in the sky.

"Supreme Demonic Power."

Papiyan, with six arms drawing circles, resembled a thousand hands moving in unison, finally bringing all six arms together to unleash an overpowering Supreme Demonic Power that could topple mountains and overturn seas.

"Bang—"

The Earth shattered under the demonic power's blast, the sky ripped apart under the pressure, the force of the Demon Buddha's attack was unlike any before.

Now, the Demon Buddha truly had the shadow of an enemy of Buddha, no longer just a poor imitator.

"Xuanhuang Emperor Robe."

The Xuanhuang Emperor Qi condensed into an emperor's robe covering the body, the Six Emperors gathered the power of the earth in their arms, confronting the might of the Demon Buddha head-on.

"Boom boom boom—"

The Supreme Demonic Power blasted in succession, forcing the Six Emperors to step back seven steps. But shockingly, despite such an attack, the Six Emperors' arms remained unscathed, Xinglie's Battle Body, undeniably prepared for ages by the Human Emperor's lineage, was indeed terrifying beyond measure!

"An extraordinary battle body."

Papiyan praised lightly, clasping six hands together, "Then take this from me as well."

Wisdom Fist Seal.

Immovable Root Seal.

Vajra Stake Seal.

The Buddhist Sanskrit Seals showcased demonic light in Demon Buddha's hands, the three Dharma Seals came forward simultaneously, "Moluo Shida."

"Xingtian Lie Battle."

Surprisingly, the Six Emperors didn't use their own Absolute Skill, but rather with extreme murderous intent, condensed into a vast battle axe that they wielded with both hands, cleaving straight down.

In their eyes, a battle intent to fight against heaven and earth, never yielding, filled their gaze, bringing ultimate power.

'The battle axe of the Xinglie Clan,' Qing Yu thought, recalling the scene of the great battle he had once witnessed in the memories of Emperor Zhenwu.

The battle axe, formed by murderous intent, Qing Yu had seen in Emperor Zhenwu's memories, was undoubtedly Xinglie's weapon.

Faced with such a formidable enemy as the Demon Buddha, the Six Emperors finally chose to slightly compromise, integrating the last trace of battle intent from the Xinglie Clan, allowing their power to be maximized.

"Boom—"

The battle axe collided with the Demon Seal, causing cataclysmic shockwaves to form, covering a radius of twenty miles in a destructive light sphere. Hundreds of miles away, houses collapsed, and trees were uprooted as if a natural disaster had swept through, leaving a trail of desolation.

This is the ultimate clash of the two, the peak duel of today's world.

And Qing Yu, standing tens of miles away, while warding off the impact of the airwaves, was secretly gathering strength, ready to step in at any moment.
