"Now you understand why I have so many clues, don't you?"

Wutian sneered evilly.

Beside him, Jianan Xiu Luo also mocked coldly.

"Damn it! All of you must die!!"

Boom!

Great Sun World Venerable revealed his dharma body, his entire being seemingly transforming into the sun, with boundless light radiating in all directions.

The entire world began to burn.

At the same time, treading upon the Lotus Throne, Great Sun World Venerable began to battle Mao Gu.

The two were evenly matched; one wielded Taoist Skill that reached divine heights, while the other possessed boundless Buddhist Law.

Across the vast Star Sea, Buddhist flames and spiritual light erupted everywhere.

Their Dharma Images flickered intermittently.

As the two clashed, void paths opened all over the world, countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals led by the Heavenly Court Immortals descended to join the battle.

Both sides engaged in intense combat.

Apart from the Heavenly Court Heavenly Soldiers, Demon Army forces led by Black Dragon Bodhisattva and Black Elephant invaded this realm.

The entire Medium Thousand Pure Land plunged into utter darkness as waves of monks transformed into demons.

The Heavenly Demon was a peculiar existence that grew stronger when facing strength, weaker when facing weakness, and struck viciously at cultivators with flaws in their Taoist Realm.

Though the monks transformed into demons were numerous, it ultimately revealed the shortcomings of the Pure Land itself—their monks harbored too many distractions and their minds were unsteady, allowing the Heavenly Demons to exploit their vulnerabilities.

Since this was a home-ground battle with various small thousand worlds providing reinforcements, overall numbers were slightly greater than those of the Donghua Heavenly Court.

"You have guts to dare come here."

Great Sun World Venerable ridiculed Mao Gu as he stared him down.

In terms of numbers, their side had the advantage at that time. In terms of cultivation, he and Mao Gu were nearly equal.

"Soon, you'll be able to accompany Mao Ying." Great Sun World Venerable tried to shatter Mao Gu's resolve with words, continuously provoking him using Mao Ying's corpse as bait.

Mao Gu remained silent, unyielding.

At this moment, Great Sun World Venerable turned his attention to the mortal realm. Once both sides' forces collided, it resulted in utter defeat for the monks, with one cultivator effortlessly overpowering ten monks. No matter what Divine Skills the monks used, they were easily countered, as if the cultivators were born natural nemeses.

On the surface, they appeared numerous, but as the fighting continued, their numbers dwindled. The monks transformed into demons and joined the Heavenly Demon ranks, turning against their own allies with fierce blows.

"This... despicable! To collude with the Heavenly Demons!"

Great Sun World Venerable's complexion alternated between green and pale in fury.

Boom!

The Qiankun Treasure Tower descended once more, suppressing Great Sun World Venerable's trembling Lotus Throne.

Below, forces of the Donghua Heavenly Court launched a counterattack.

Song Lin led seven Heavenly Immortals—Heavenly Mechanism, Ji Fa, Ji Dan, Chiyou, Lin Zhen, Mao Zhong, and Moyu Qilin—against the Heavenly Immortals of the Medium Thousand Pure Land.

Miao Yan World.

Song Lin's figure appeared abruptly, arriving in front of Miao Yan Buddha Ancestor seated on his throne.

This person bore a golden divine eye at the center of his brow, rumored to be capable of perceiving every corner of the Three Realms.

"Bao Guangming, you betrayed the Buddhist Sect. You'll die a miserable death!"

Facing his demise, Miao Yan still defiantly spewed threats.

"Let me tell you a secret: from day one, I've noticed your eye watching me incessantly. It's time to pay some interest, isn't it?"

Song Lin utilized the flow of time and space, dragging Miao Yan, who was attempting to flee, before him. He then extended his finger and gouged out the third eye on Miao Yan's brow.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Miao Yan clutched his face, screaming in agony, only to be sent to the Heavenly Burial Coffin a moment later by Song Lin.

Though both were Heavenly Immortals, Song Lin possessed five Tao Golden Pills, capable of contending with True Immortals. Miao Yan, with only one pill, was leagues apart in terms of cultivation, utterly powerless to resist.

Soon, six more Buddhas were killed in succession.

Boom!

A furious roar echoed from the void.

It was the voice of Great Sun World Venerable.

Song Lin raised his head to see a golden portal opening in the void, from which the Heavenly Dragon Eight Tribes emerged.

"They're here. Great Sun World Venerable's trump card has arrived."

Song Lin silently reflected.

The Heavenly Dragon Eight Tribes were led by Heaven Group Buddha, Dragon Group Buddha, and Yaksha Group Buddha—three Heavenly Immortal-level cultivators.

This was Great Sun World Venerable's ace in the hole, and they'd finally pressured him into revealing it.

The three Heavenly Immortals were significantly stronger than those who came earlier.

Song Lin had been waiting for this precise moment.

Boom!

Wutian Buddha Ancestor, stepping upon the Black Lotus, led an army of demons to confront the Heavenly Dragon Eight Tribes.

This marked the grand clash between the Heavenly Demons and the Eight Tribes.

Both sides now waged a bloody battle in the vast expanse of the starry battlefield.

Song Lin ultimately lost; the balance was broken. The mission had failed. If victorious, they could have stormed the world of the Heavenly Dragon Eight Tribes to retrieve Mao Ying's body.

Up until now, Mao Ying had yet to appear; barring unforeseen events, she likely remained in slumber.

Song Lin faced multiple foes alone, while other Heavenly Immortals were tasked with cleaning up the battlefield.

This was the stage for Song Lin and Mao Gu.

The mission this time was clear-cut: execute a decapitation strike.

The aim was to minimize additional losses in combat forces while executing the decapitation.

At most, the battle was set to last a month.

Within that month, reinforcements from the Donghua Heavenly Soldiers would constantly arrive to secure this realm.

This would ensure that other Medium Thousand worlds' responses came too late.

Furthermore, the residual strength saved from the decapitation strike could be allocated to defend this realm.

Beyond Medium Thousand Pure Land.

The scene of the battle couldn't remain concealed for long.

Approximately a month.

Somewhere millions of light-years away from Medium Thousand Pure Land.

Heavenly God Realm.

The Heavenly God Divine Court—Golden Que.

The Golden Que Emperor sat in the center of the stars, overlooking the Ten Directions World.

This being was a golden entity whose visage could not be discerned.

Every inch of his body seemed to embody starry rivers, mountains, cultural institutions, and civilizations.

The Golden Que Emperor bore a seventy-two-colored halo behind his head, which revolved ceaselessly, emitting faint sounds of beings paying reverence.

The Golden Que Emperor drew upon the faith of countless beings, lacking a physical body, embodying the entirety of the Golden Que Medium Thousand's life forms. He was an incredibly mighty conceptual god—so long as even one being believed in him, he would remain eternally indestructible, the strongest entity among the Five Divine Realms.

If not for the Five Realms' tacit alliance, the Golden Que World would likely have unified the realms long ago.

Beneath him were Bai, Chi, Hei, Qing, and Huang—the Five Masters. Additionally, twelve Emperors—Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai—each governing a small thousand world.

At this moment, news of the chaos in Medium Thousand Pure Land reached this place.

The Golden Que Emperor spoke slowly: "Bai Zhu, Emperor Zi, Emperor Mao, and Emperor Shen. The four of you, go investigate."

"Understood!"

A radiant white light rose in the west, accompanied by the Dharma Images of a mouse, rabbit, and monkey.

The four figures transformed their shapes and landed before the Golden Que Emperor.

After receiving their orders, the four departed for the Pure Land World.

Above Medium Thousand Pure Land.

Mao Gu battled fiercely against Great Sun World Venerable.

The two fought countless rounds, yet neither could decisively defeat the other.

True Immortals were at a level where killing or defeating one another was immensely difficult.

If external forces didn't intervene, they might continue fighting indefinitely.

The Pure Land World had already become a Demon Country.

Wutian's demonic flames soared to the heavens, forcing the Heavenly Dragon Eight Tribes to flee in disarray, and the Demon Army invaded the world of the Heavenly Dragon Eight Tribes.

At this moment, the demons roared.

"Found Upper Mao True Monarch!"

"Found Upper Mao!"

"This is bad!"

Great Sun World Venerable's face turned grim as he attempted to muster the forces of the Eight Tribes World against Wutian.

Suddenly, amidst the swirling demonic qi, a jade corpse emerged, with Wutian having long since left this realm.

From Jianan, it was learned that this world was the Buddha Fruit of Great Sun World Venerable. Song Lin wasted not a moment longer here.

Handing the corpse to the other Heavenly Immortals, Wutian instantly teleported to the battlefield where Mao Gu and Great Sun World Venerable were fighting.

"Forget it..."

Great Sun World Venerable sighed.

Boom!

The Lotus Pond exploded, and his dharma body fled to the Great Thousand World.

He chose exile in the end.

Wutian and Mao Gu didn't pursue him further.

Killing him was impossible. Having him flee, however, was advantageous.

Donghua Heavenly Court emerged victorious from this battle.

Medium Thousand Pure Land was seized, along with seven small thousand worlds, leading to unprecedented expansion of their forces.
