Shu Province.

The murderous aura and bloodlust that once filled the fields were swept away in just one day. In their place was Buddha Light, also accompanied by something sinister.

Fantian, riding on a Scripture Pillar, scattered Buddha Light everywhere. All those steeped in the killings of worldly society, all the anxious and uneasy commoners, were baptized by the Buddha Light and fell into a deep sleep.

The strange thing happened after they awoke. Everyone waking from that slumber seemed like a different person entirely, their faces filled with fanaticism and unsettling madness.

The Buddha Light, which should have been peaceful, brought forth the ultimate in sinister intent.

Aside from some martial artists at the True Pill Realm, even those at the Divine Origin Realm who had cultivated spiritual power were not spared.

Where the Scripture Pillar passed, followers were everywhere.

"The time has come."

In the high skies, Fantian heard the sound of various scripture recitations, his face showing an eerie expression, "Mie Tian, Shitian."

Two figures appeared beside Fantian, a dusky gray Mie Tian, and Shitian filled with Divine Thunder. The two likewise sat cross-legged, their True Qi forming black and silver-blue lotus platforms, their backs against Fantian's, gazing in all directions.

"The Three-faced God stands together."

In an instant, blazing Buddhist Light shot up into the firmament, as if the legendary Pure Land of Posa was descending into the world. In that light, illuminating all directions, there was a monk sitting cross-legged under the Bodhi Tree, with thirty-two marks and eighty secondary signs, preaching and attesting to the Dao.

"All these living beings—whether born from eggs, from wombs, from moisture, or spontaneously, whether lacking form or possessing it, with perception or without, neither perceiving nor non-perceiving—I will lead to Nirvana without residue and extinction············"

"Tathagata?"

At the border of Shu Province, a tall figure stepped into the territory, gazing distantly at this extraordinary phenomenon, with Blade Energy shooting into the sky.

"This trip was not in vain." The Sword God strode ten zhang in one step, his Sword Intent imposing.

Initially thinking only to conveniently avenge the fallen Flame Sky, he unexpectedly encountered such an immense surprise. The phenomenon of evolving into the state of the Buddha already indicated the extraordinary nature of those occupying Shu Province.

The Sword God traversed through the air, like an unsurpassed Heavenly Sword passing through; wherever his silhouette passed, a long blade shadow was left, with himself as the blade body and the advancing Sword God as the blade tip, targeting directly towards the monk under the Bodhi Tree.

As the Sword God advanced, the monk's chanting grew ever more resounding, like the sound of heaven, echoing ceaselessly. At that moment, the scripture was just reciting······

"······I shall extinguish immeasurable living beings."

The monk raised his head, the thirty-two marks converging into one, revealing a solemn, pristine... yet eerie visage.

He revealed a slight eerie smile and said, "In the age of the Decline of the Dharma, my followers and descendants will be monks, wearing your robes, corrupting your Buddhist Law, bearing the name of a monk yet walking the path of demons!"

"Boom——"

The Buddha Light all transformed into Devil Light, the Bodhi Tree withered and perished, and atop that black lotus, not the Buddha of the order, nor the supreme virtue, but the true Enemy of Buddha was seated.

"Tathagata——"

The monk's semblance cracked like shedding skin, revealing within a peerless demon with three faces and six arms, with three voices blending with difficulty—a peculiar eeriness and a profound majesty, "We have returned. With three aspects turning into a demon, I am Papiyan."

"The Difficulties of Sound and Form, in the Heart of the Realm, are released by Pojia Qi, responding with a maze of grief."

At the moment this Enemy of Buddha appeared, all those baptized by Buddha Light began to chant scripture mantras in unison, a fanatic fervor and defiance bolstering them.

"Papiyan·····"

And at that moment, the blade arrived.

The Broken Sword Blade descended like a celestial peak, crashing down, with the Sword Gang that traversed the universe cleaving towards the newly emerged Demon Buddha.

"Haha······Take this blade from me." The Sword God held his sword, his battle intent blazing.

Indeed, this was a delightful surprise; within the dwindling remnants of the Peacock Remnant in the Western Regions, such formidable power remained. The unity of three supreme beings had forged this unparalleled demon before his eyes.

"Clang——"

Facing the Sword God directly, Fantian's complexion turned cold as he met the strike with an open palm. The indestructible Sword Gang met the dark golden-glowing palm, emitting a crisp, pleasing sound.

Taking the Sword God's strike head-on, Papiyan's Golden Body remained unscathed.

The emergence of this Demon Buddha was due to Nalanda Temple's three days, but what truly established its strength was the original Three-faced God that once rivaled the Buddha.

Forcing the Heavenly Dao to give the Buddha a back door, allowing the Buddha to attain enlightenment, the Three-faced God's power would not be inferior to the Sword God, perhaps even surpassing it.

Though merely the remnants of power now, nurtured over many years by the three days, it could again reveal the might of the Three-faced God of the past.

"The blade, we have taken it," Papiyan's head slightly twisted as Shitian's face spoke, "now take a blow from me."

Furious Demon Thunder twisted in the hand, filled with defiance and an ominous aura, forming countless Thunder Balls rotating overhead, "Thunder of Buddha's Punishment."

The Demon Thunder, entirely contrary to Buddhist Law, struck with thunderous speed. Within each ball of black thunder was the extreme raging Demonic Qi, with writhing lightning sparks harboring a loathsome ominous intent.

"A minor trick."

The Sword God's blade blocked sideways, still executing a simple slash, but that fierce Sword Intent made the Demon Buddha twitch his eyelids.

Slice.

The Demon Thunder was entirely obliterated by the Blade Energy, the arrogant Demon Intent incapable of leaving a trace.

The Sword God emerged from the Blade Energy, faced directly by a streak of black blade mark attack.

"Clang——Clang——"

In close combat, devoid of flying Blade Energy and True Qi, yet the most terrifying peril existed. Each slash from the Sword God carried the ultimate sharpness and tyrannical Sword Intent, while Papiyan, with his prowess embodied, maximized the power of the Demon Buddha Golden Body, resisting this unparalleled sword.

The two scrambled in mid-air, their straightforward and direct combat styles, blow-for-blow attacks kept the entire sky in turbulence.

It was as if the Sword God was ignorant of diversion; he relentlessly pursued a frontal assault, lacking any thought of a flank attack. Confronted with such a robust attack style, Papiyan's other two faces and four arms found it hard to display their might, feeling constrained under the onslaught.

Finally, after hundreds of head-on clashes, the frontal arms showed blade marks, struggling to endure.

"Switch."

With a change of visage, and a transformation of form, a pair of slender grayish palms clamped onto the slicing Sword Gang.

At this point, the figure of Mie Tian held a demonic smile; Shiva's Eye at the brow opened wide, unleashing Destruction Fire in torrents.

The Sword God tilted his blade to block, the Blade Energy formed a shield, keeping the Destructive Fire three feet away. But like parasites on the bone, the flames surrounded the shield; no matter how much the Blade Energy obliterated, residual force continued to fuel the fire's further burning.

From afar, it looked like a fiery globe.

Seizing the opportunity, Papiyan's six arms raised high, in the gesture of holding up the sky, led by Mie Tian, where a pure black light wheel formed between the six arms, "Destructive Holy Heaven Wheel."

The light wheel thundered forth, cleaving through the Sword Qi Shield, and collided directly with the Broken Sword Blade.

"Sizzle——Sizzle——"

The rotating destructive light wheel produced a piercing sound before exploding suddenly.

"Boom——"
