The Black Lotus emerges, lawless and unrestrained.

With the arrival of Guu Yuchan and the others, the battlefield underwent an earth-shattering transformation instantly.

Lingwei's forces faced a crushing defeat, retreating step by step.

Now, only Song Lin's people remained beside the two.

Gazing at the monks pressing forward relentlessly, and the Heavenly Humans with hatred in their eyes.

Lingwei murmured to himself, asking, "How did you do it? What Demon Art have you used to deceive these people?"

"Your nurtured Buddhas—I've merely guided them slightly. If only you'd given me more time, I could've turned even half of the rest to my cause," Song Lin retorted.

Lingwei Buddha's nature was extreme, and his disciples and followers naturally modeled themselves after him. While he possessed profound Taoist Realm and a clear conscience, the others weren't necessarily so steadfast.

Wherever one's Taoist Realm falls short, a Heart Demon inevitably emerges.

Thus, Song Lin took the opportunity to convert them.

Looking up at the sky, it was filled with jet-black Buddha statues, transforming this place into the semblance of the Demon World.

At this moment, black energy completely engulfed Lingwei's Golden Body.

Just as Song Lin had predicted; if the opponent seized his Shariputra relic, then he would reclaim it in return.

The battle between the two Heavenly Immortals was not visibly fierce; their battlefield was within their bodies, located at the Spirit Platform three inches from their brows.

With the Shariputra relic's power lent by Song Lin earlier, entry was comparatively easy.

The saying goes: welcoming a god is easy, sending one away is hard.

Within the Spirit Platform.

Song Lin stood atop the Black Lotus, facing Lingwei across the void.

The pervasive black energy polluted this place that resembled the Pure Land.

Lingwei's body was tainted with considerable black energy.

The black energy pressed closer step by step, causing Lingwei's dharma image to flicker intermittently.

This was due to Guu Yuchan's assistance from the periphery — whenever Lingwei's dharma image appeared, a fierce thunderstrike descended, giving him no room to struggle.

"Who exactly are you!!"

Lingwei roared in fury.

He refused to believe this individual was merely an ordinary genius.

This person's power couldn't be encapsulated by the term "genius"; they were undoubtedly an evil demon from beyond the realms.

"Donghua Heavenly Court, Shenxiao Heavenly Emperor—the very world to which you sent people," Song Lin replied.

"You are…"

Lingwei Buddha's Heart God trembled violently. He recalled the Great Sun World Venerable's words years ago, mentioning that the Small Thousand World contained someone destined for Buddha; he instructed Lingwei to enlighten them, with the promise that all the resources of the Small Thousand World would belong to Lingwei as a reward.

At that time, Lingwei inwardly sneered, thinking the World Venerable must have gone mad—how could anyone be more significant than an entire Small Thousand World?

Now, it seemed his guess wasn't wrong; that person was likely the one before his eyes.

"…"

Seizing the moment while Lingwei was distracted, Song Lin gathered all his mana to launch an attack, fully intent on devouring Lingwei's Shariputra relic.

The Taoist Realm accumulated over countless years would now become a mantle for someone else.

Within the Spirit Platform, a lotus-shaped Tao Golden Pill was formed.

At this moment, Lingwei had yet to perish.

Boom!

Suddenly, the pitch-black sky was pierced by beams of golden Buddha Light.

An invisible, overwhelming force descended, carrying an utterly suffocating energy.

To make a Heavenly Immortal feel this way, especially a dual-core Heavenly Immortal—

Who else could it be but a True Immortal?

"World Venerable!!" Lingwei shouted in exhilaration.

"The Great Sun World Venerable? Looks like luck is on your side," Song Lin said coldly.

Song Lin swiftly withdrew from Lingwei's Spirit Platform.

In the Lingwei World, he revealed his Lotus True Body.

At the lotus's center lay the Teleportation Array.

"All troops, retreat!!"

With Song Lin's command, the great army surged toward the Teleportation Array.

The Green Dragon Bodhisattva suddenly pointed toward the Bodhi Tree and exclaimed, "Bodhi World!!"

The Bodhi Tree was the essence of the Western Pure Land.

Song Lin descended beneath the tree. First, he struck Lingwei's dharma image with a palm strike, shattering it. Ignoring Lingwei's True Spirit scattering everywhere, he directly uprooted the Bodhi Tree with sheer force.

As the Bodhi Tree was extracted, the world began to collapse; fissures appeared in the void like a shattered mirror.

The Bodhi Tree, akin to the Mother Tree of All Things, served as a cornerstone for sustaining the world.

With the Array's activation, Wu Chen on the other end dropped his pretense and controlled the Mother Tree of All Things' roots to absorb the energy of the Western Pure Land.

The Western Pure Land was no longer habitable.

Song Lin hastened to shield everyone during their withdrawal.

With the Bodhi Tree uprooted and the Mother Tree absorbing energy, the world's collapse accelerated.

At that moment, a massive hand of Buddha appeared in the sky; compared to it, the entire star was as insignificant as a grain of rice.

Song Lin realized this was none other than the legendary Great Sun World Venerable.

At this time, the final group had still yet to evacuate.

Song Lin stood atop the Black Lotus, raising his right palm vertically, striking straight toward the sky to collide with the enormous hand.

Boom!

The tremendous shockwave utterly obliterated the Pure Land.

Song Lin first sensed the crushing weight of Taishan, as though an entire world pressed upon him.

Crack, crack...

The Black Lotus Dharma Body began to disintegrate—fortunately, the Black Lotus Dharma Body was inherently intangible. Had he brought his Nine-Transformation Golden Body here for direct clash, just one strike would have severely injured him.

"Is this True Immortal power?"

Bang!

After three breaths, the Dharma Body turned to ashes.

At this moment, the Teleportation Array shut completely.

On the other end, the Divine Turtle and others immediately activated the Nine Tripods Formation, utterly concealing this Small Thousand World.

Song Lin did not enter Donghua World but flew amidst the void outside dimensions.

This place was the Great Thousand World beyond the Small Thousand World.

All around were colorful chaos streams of the void.

These represented the most primal, violent energies, with each stream being perilous beyond imagination. Given Song Lin's current fragile form, he likely wouldn't last a second.

Thus, he avoided these turbulent currents as much as possible while examining them closely.

The chaotic streams of the void were made of irregularly colored fragments; upon closer inspection, they appeared to be fragments of shattered and warped Great Dao.
