The three Quasi-Saint spoke in succession, their tone chilling, as if Yama, the Hell, had descended upon them, sending shivers down the spines of those who heard them.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the Heavenly Venerable and Dao Merging Great Expert changed drastically. They had never heard any of these high-ranking Quasi-Saint threaten someone with words like this before.
Such a scene is truly unprecedented since the beginning of time.
Many eyes shifted to Logo, wanting to see what this Great Yi Heavenly Venerable planned to do.
"A dead end?! That's like a toad yawning—what a boastful tone."
Logo slightly raised his eyelids, disdainfully saying, "If you're going to make these threatening statements, at least if you can shake the Spirit Saint Dao Realm, then they might have some credibility. Otherwise... they're nothing but barking dogs!"
"You!!"
The Demon Ancestor glared angrily, and countless demons roared and danced wildly above his head.
The Great Luo Heavenly Venerable raised his hand, stopping the Demon Ancestor's words, and looked at Logo, saying, "Fellow Daoist's talent is unparalleled in the world. Don't you know that all things in heaven and earth are mutually generating and restraining, that there are no insurmountable barriers in the world, and that the general trend cannot be changed?"
Upon hearing this, Logo raised the Immortal-Execution Sword in his hand, gently stroking its blade, which was capable of slicing through all matter. Unmoved, he merely glanced indifferently at the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable and said, "The power? I am the power. What are you going to do about it?!"
The Great Luo Heavenly Venerable frowned, unable to grasp the thoughts of this Great Yi Heavenly Venerable. He felt that the other party was like a rock in a latrine, both smelly and hard, but at the same time, there was also a sense of elusiveness and difficulty in finding him, which was really troublesome.
Before the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable could speak again, the Demon Ancestor finally lost his temper, his voice cold and resolute, filled with a bloodthirsty killing intent, "Within the Three Realms, the Demon Path, the Buddha Path, and our Three Sects constitute the dominant force."
"Yuanshi, your talent and brilliance are undeniably unparalleled throughout history. However, your cultivation time is ultimately too short, and your knowledge is too shallow. This world is vast, and the Chaos Sea is boundless and fraught with countless dangers. Some of these perilous places are enough to easily Destruction the Three Realms."
"Are you really willing to forge an irreconcilable feud with us for the sake of a holy succession?!"
The Demon Ancestor revealed his true colors, no longer bothering to conceal his true intentions, and issued an ultimatum.
The Great Luo Heavenly Venerable and the Buddha did not stop them; perhaps they had already grown impatient.
After years of being high above others, one eventually becomes detached from the lower classes. One may appear indifferent, but in reality, one's patience is not much.
Especially given the extremely hostile attitude of the Great Yi Heavenly Venerable, the future course of events for both sides is already clear.
Inside the Dao Realm, at the top of the Saint Road, Logo stood with his sword in hand, his expression unwavering and unchanged by the Demon Ancestor's words.
He simply turned around quietly, and Mist gathered behind him, obscuring all view.
They said nothing, yet they said everything.
It goes without saying.
The Great Void fell silent for a moment.
Many powerful figures gasped in shock.
Countless subtle gazes fell upon the three Quasi-Saint.
The Buddha closed his eyes slightly, the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable remained expressionless, Demon Ancestor laughed coldly.
After a long silence, the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable sighed, "Very well, since this fiend is ignorant of destiny and the grand scheme of things, then let him perish along with the Spirit Saint Dao Realm!"
"What are your plans, fellow Daoist?" the Buddha asked.
The Demon Ancestor also looked over.
Their conversation was blocked by an invisible barrier; no one else could hear it.
The Great Luo Heavenly Venerable Venerable's eyes were icy cold as he looked at the Spirit Saint Dao Realm as if it were a death tomb. "Arrogance will surely bring disaster. I hope that when this Great Yi Daoist Da Yi dies, he will not regret it and will still have such a tough attitude today!"
Having said that, the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable continued, "My mind is made up. Since I cannot obtain the Spirit Saint's inheritance, I will bury it completely, and no one will be able to obtain it."
The meaning of the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable is very clear: even without the inheritance of the Spirit Saint, the three of them, as Quasi-Saint, are still the most powerful beings in the Three Realms, the closest to the Sainthood.
Without external threats, we can simply wait for time to pass and eventually achieve a breakthrough.
The Buddha slowly nodded, "The reason we didn't invite external forces to Destruction the Spirit Saint Dao Realm in the past was because we still had expectations for the Spirit Saint's inheritance. Now that those expectations are shattered, and the cycle of cause and effect has ended, it's time to make a decision!"
"But..." the Demon Ancestor frowned, "The final calamity still has about ten thousand years to go. For us, that's just a blink of an eye, a mere instant. But the Great Yi Heavenly Venerable cannot view it that way."
"He's only a little over a thousand years old since his birth. With the passage of ten thousand years, and the help of the Spirit Saint Dao Realm and the Spirit Saint inheritance, who knows how far he can grow? What if his strength advances even further..."
Quasi-Saint strength advances further, one will become a true Saint.
Unrivaled throughout the Three Realms.
If the Great Yi Heavenly Venerable has truly reached that point, the end of those three Quasi-Saint will be near.
"Fellow Daoist's concerns are quite valid." The Great Luo Heavenly Venerable nodded slightly. "This is a crucial point that I, this humble Daoist, will naturally not overlook."
"Oh? So what do you plan to do?" the Demon Ancestor asked.
The Great Luo Heavenly Venerable ignored the Demon Ancestor and instead looked at the Buddha, smiling, "It's simple, just shorten the duration of the final tribulation."
"Shorten the time of the final tribulation?!" The Demon Ancestor was taken aback, somewhat confused.
The Buddha, however, instantly understood and looked at the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable, his gaze becoming solemn. "Fellow Daoist, do you intend to..."
"You two, stop playing games and get to the point!" the Demon Ancestor roared.
The Great Luo Heavenly Venerable was already used to this guy's temper and didn't take it to heart, but he stopped being mysterious and simply uttered two words: "Samsara!!"
"Samsara?!" The Demon Ancestor's pupils contracted slightly, and he instantly understood the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable's intention.
Good grief, you guys are ruthless!
Our Demon Sect sect is nothing compared to you!
A thought of Samsara?!
Will the fundamental order of the Three Realms be shaken?
Countless lives will be affected as a result.
"This is a matter of great cause and effect, a matter of great karma. Have you truly thought this through, fellow Daoist?" the Buddha said, closing his eyes.
"Things have come to this point. Since we've already formed an enmity, we can't delay any longer. It's best to cut the Gordian knot. Do you really intend to continue giving this Great Yi Daoist Da Yi time to grow?" Great Luo Heavenly Venerable sneered.
The Demon Ancestor shook his head and chuckled, "I am fearless. The number of deaths is just a number. The Destruction heaven and earth is of no consequence. Moreover, Samsara is under the control of your Buddhist and Daoist sects, so I have no say in it."
"No, no, what you speak of is the Lesser Samsara. To shorten the duration of the final tribulation, we must use the Lesser Samsara to instigate the Great Samsara of Heaven and Earth. This requires your help, fellow Daoist. The Three Sects —Tao, Buddhism, and Demonism—are all indispensable!"
The Great Luo Heavenly Venerable spoke with a resounding tone.
The Buddha nodded and said, "Excellent, excellent! Your intention, Great Luo, is also my intention!"
"Heh, you two are truly shameless. You speak so grandly, but aren't you just trying to get my Demon Sect to bear the wrath of Heavenly Dao for you? And you're spouting this nonsense about the Great Samsara of Heaven and Earth." The Demon Ancestor said disdainfully, but quickly nodded. "I agree. This matter must be implemented as soon as possible."
"Good!"
"Return to the Saint Realm immediately to prepare!"
The three Quasi-Saint acted swiftly and decisively; once they made a decision, they immediately began to take action.
The Three Sects people returned to the Saint Realm in a grand procession.
