Meng Qi stormed into the Earthly Buddha Country wielding the Overlord’s Absolute Blade, unaffected by its Buddhist suppression due to his Shaolin roots and profound cultivation. He derided Zhao Qian, Maitreya's reincarnation, for eradicating desires to fulfill wishes, and swiftly suppressed him despite the home terrain advantage. Ran Deng revived within the Buddha Country and unleashed a cause-and-effect assault, nearly devouring Meng Qi to seize the Cause of All Fruits. As Ran Deng's attack bore down, the Earthly Buddha Country quaked violently, with viscous Human Dao golden light forcing its way in alongside Tao Yu's echoing voice claiming he hears a call.

Under the glow of this thick golden light, Ran Deng's lamp flames seemed to melt in assimilation, as though ready to fuse into the Power of Human Dao!

"How is this possible! This isn’t your domain!"

Zhao Qian, the true master of the Earthly Buddha Country backed by Amitabha and Ancient Buddha Bodhi, now stared wide-eyed as his bond with the Buddha Country swiftly faded.

"You’ve deceived so many of my people into entering, and yet you claim it has nothing to do with me. Where in the world is there such a good deal..."

Tao Yu laughed without a care.

Each individual drawn into the Earthly Buddha Country became a Dao Mark, forging a connection to the Human Dao Dynasty!

Guided by these paths, the Power of Human Dao infiltrated effortlessly, swallowing all in its wake.

The All Heavens Evil Gods could submit to the Human Dao, so naturally, every Buddha in the heavens would follow suit!

The splendor from the golden Buddha statues began shifting into the Power of Human Dao.

Yet, a strange eeriness emerged alongside it.

"Not good!"

Ran Deng, having endured such trials before, knew the Earthly Buddha Country's collapse was inevitable. He flicked his sleeve to grab Zhao Qian and escape before the Human Dao Dynasty fully consumed it.

However, the enigmatic Power of Human Dao worked far quicker than anticipated. It had tainted his Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearl with ease, and by the time he protected Zhao Qian, the space around them was already locked tight!

"Merciful Buddha..."

A familiar chant echoed, as Ancient Buddha Bodhi could no longer remain passive and struck covertly.

At the same moment, the Green Emperor on Fusang countered from a distance. Though his roots as an Other Shore being were weaker than ancients like Ancient Buddha Bodhi.

Yet, unbound as a modern Other Shore powerhouse, the Green Emperor clashed fearlessly against Ancient Buddha Bodhi!

But the instant the Green Emperor's strike manifested, icy eyes materialized overhead, alongside a Fuxi Bagua Map that blocked the assault across multiple realms.

It was the vanished Fu Huang!

Fu Huang, once a contender for supremacy who faded early, now resurfaced to support the Buddhist Sect!

Tao Yu spotted the anomaly at once.

"Is he being controlled? To dominate an Other Shore entity so thoroughly, could this be the doing of the most Ancient..."

Amitabha sought to erase his trace, keeping his presence minimal, so even amid Zhao Qian's crisis, he avoided direct action.

Instead, from afar, he manipulated Fu Huang, leveraging his form to halt the Green Emperor effectively!

This twist caused Ancient Buddha Bodhi's Buddha Hand to redirect, moving from rescuing Ran Deng to thwarting Tao Yu's moves.

Sanskrit script stemmed the flow of the Power of Human Dao, granting Ran Deng precious time.

With the burden lifting noticeably, Ran Deng regained his vigor and burst into laughter.

"Indeed, Benefactor and I are destined!"

Shifting from defense to attack, he lunged once more at Meng Qi, aiming to claim the Cause of All Fruits in this perfect opening.

The Other Shore powers checked each other, presenting a golden opportunity!

Even the Golden Emperor in the palace furrowed her brow at the sight.

She could shatter the deadlock, but as Gu Xiaosang's sworn foe in name, helping Ran Deng was expected; otherwise, her prior deceptions would crumble.

In this clash over Dao Fruits where she held a disadvantage, her best shot at triumph relied on surprise and the subtle bond from her enchanting charm.

Revealing herself now would spell disaster.

Still, she couldn't bear to see Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang come to harm.

"Awakened Celestial Punishment Axe."

Tao Yu's calm words prompted the Golden Emperor's instant response; with a single thought, the Celestial Punishment Axe in his grasp fully awakened.

Infused with the Power of Human Dao and the Heaven Opening Seal's power, the Celestial Punishment Axe cleaved remotely toward the Earthly Buddha Country!

In the Buddha Country, Ran Deng felt the incoming blow but decided to ignore it after quick calculation.

"Though the Buddha Country has been corrupted, it is sufficient to withstand one blow. Borrowing this moment, it’s enough for me to absorb the Cause of All Fruits!"

After completing the absorption and transforming his Illusory Dao Fruit into a prototype, heading back to address the issue would turn far simpler!

However, he quickly sensed something amiss; the Celestial Punishment Axe unleashed the Heaven Opening Seal not to strike the Earthly Buddha Country head-on.

Rather, it zeroed in on the tangled junction where the Buddha Country intertwined with the Human Dao Dynasty!

Boom~

The Human Dao Dynasty had been steadily corroding the Earthly Buddha Country before. This dimensional corrosion had already softened and destabilized the area. The Celestial Punishment Axe’s blow then ripped open a Nine Nether fissure straight away!

"Ran Deng!"

"Your life is mine!"

The Dark Lord and Yuan Hong, who had bided their time, burst out from the Nine Nether with wicked smirks.

In the Nine Nether’s territory, each commanded a Pseudo Other Shore presence.

With the Celestial Punishment Axe brutally tearing open the Nine Nether Power, even if the leaking energy couldn’t fully uphold their standings, sustaining certain features for a short while was effortless!

Frustration etched Ran Deng’s face as he saw the Demon Emperor Claw lunging from the Dark Lord’s grasp, while Yuan Hong nearby hammered down with his bell, baring a savage grin.

"In what way has this humble monk provoked you!"

In reply, he only faced the furious joint attack from the Dark Lord and Yuan Hong.

Had he retained the Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearl, he might have held his own.

Yet after losing the pearl previously, and now with Nine Nether Power temporarily empowering his enemies, Ran Deng grew weary under their tandem onslaught, his lamp flames dispersing like fleeting embers.

Right then, Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang, revived from within him, sprang into action side by side.

Gu Xiaosang fired off a Lifeless Finger straight at Zhao Qian’s forehead.

Meng Qi directed with the Dao Yi Seal, as his Overlord’s Absolute Blade slashed toward the weakened Ran Deng.

Confronted by the looming Absolute Blade, Ran Deng, barely holding on, let out an involuntary sigh.

Since time immemorial, Tianyi’s designs have ever been inscrutable...

Though Ran Deng had long plotted to swallow Meng Qi whole, embodying the Way of Cause and Effect himself, he served as a potent boon for Meng Qi!

Thud~

Empowered by the Human Dao Dynasty’s might, the Human Emperor Sword smashed the approaching Buddha Hand from a distance.

Meanwhile, the Green Emperor and Fu Huang clashed fiercely through the void.

As the Dark Lord and Yuan Hong battered Ran Deng from all sides, his apparently everlasting flame heart was finally extinguished by the Overlord’s Absolute Blade.

Using the Dao Yi Seal to bind it, Meng Qi suppressed Ran Deng’s vital essence in a Snake Swallowing Whale fashion.

Unable to devour it instantly and needing gradual refinement, Ran Deng’s near-Dao Fruit prototype reserves still bloated Meng Qi immensely in one fell swoop.

Meng Qi himself felt a bit dazed at this point.

He’d meant to aid Gu Xiaosang by having her supplant Maitreya as Amitabha’s final vessel for presence erasure.

But against all odds, fortune swung his way!

Ran Deng had schemed to consume him, only for Meng Qi to claim Ran Deng’s Illusory Dao Fruit instead.

"This is Cause and Effect..."

Enlightenment dawned on Meng Qi; without Ran Deng’s own devious intent, success would’ve eluded him too—such is the play of fate and timing...

At the same time, the Dark Lord and Yuan Hong, having thrashed Ran Deng soundly, slipped back into the Nine Nether via the lingering gap.

Each of their maneuvers ultimately bolstered the Human Emperor.

Regardless of their words or deeds, all knew these two stood unswervingly with the Human Emperor!

Without question, they had solidly thrown in with the Human Emperor’s camp.

Two Pseudo Other Shores from the Nine Nether, plus a Human Emperor backed by the Human Dao Dynasty, wielding the Demon Emperor Claw, Celestial Punishment Axe, and Human Emperor Sword—three Supreme Divine Weapons—together with the freshly ascended Green Emperor at Other Shore level.

In that instant, the Human Dao Alliance’s power surged dominantly.

Gu Xiaosang had supplanted the Earthly Buddha Country, swiftly turning the whole Buddha Country into a subordinate realm of the Human Dao Dynasty, their forces now intertwined and amplified!

Under these circumstances, with Amitabha’s ultimate creation shifted to Gu Xiaosang, a deep, intricate bond formed between the Buddhist Sect and Human Dao Dynasty, evoking the feeling that heaven and earth aligned in timely harmony...
