Five hundred billion, against a thousand?
This is a path to self-destruction!
Maitreya Buddha looked up.
He saw, within the Western lands.
Innumerable starlight shone down.
All sorts of auspicious phenomena manifested.
Chaos gave birth to golden lotuses, the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram, the Immortal Emperor descended to the Nine Heavens, stars illuminated the azure sky...
The divine abilities, secret arts, and killing moves displayed by countless Human Race powerhouses and soldiers.
Almost every killing blow unleashed resulted in the fall of Western Sect cultivators, with Buddha corpses scattered everywhere, and broken Buddha kingdoms visible throughout the Western lands...
Maitreya Buddha, seeing his master Zhunti's lifelong efforts, the Western Sect, being destroyed in this manner.
He could not help but beg for mercy, saying, "No! Human Race powerhouses, do not destroy the Western Sect any further!"
"I beg you to spare the West! I am willing to have the entire Western Sect submit to the Human Race Heavenly Court and accept the rule of the Human Race Heavenly Court!"
"All cultivators of the Western Sect are willing to accept the Longevity Edict and hand over all personal belongings to the Human Race Heavenly Court!"
A Human Race commander at the Quasi-Saint level heard this, his gaze gradually turning cold.
"A mere early-stage Da Luo cultivator, not surrendering earlier, but only intending to surrender after being attacked eight thousand years into the Heavenly Emperor calendar..."
"I tell you, it's too late!"
The Human Race general unleashed the Nine Secrets.
Maitreya Buddha's palm-held Buddha kingdom, his very being, was instantly annihilated into fundamental particles.
He let out a despairing scream, his Da Luo body collapsing, and he perished completely!
"Without adhering to the Human Race Heavenly Court, how can laws be established?"
The Human Race general uttered his final words, sealing the fate of the Western Sect.
...
In the eight thousandth year of the Heavenly Emperor calendar, the Human Race Heavenly Court dispatched a portion of its Human Race legions.
This portion of the Human Race legions comprised five hundred billion Golden Immortal Human Race cultivators, six thousand Da Luo Golden Immortals, and eighty Quasi-Saints.
The Human Race legions slaughtered the Western Sect as if they were mere dogs.
Maitreya Buddha perished.
The remaining Arhats and Bodhisattvas in the Western Sect knelt in submission, willing to accept the various restrictions and rule of the Human Race Heavenly Court.
The Human Race legions first checked if these Arhats and Bodhisattvas had ever harmed or persecuted the Human Race.
Only after confirming that the Arhats and Bodhisattvas had not killed even a single member of the Human Race did they agree to incorporate the remaining Western Sect into the dominion of the Human Race Heavenly Court.
However, in doing so, the cultivators of the Western Sect who had not persecuted the Human Race were reduced to less than one in a thousand.
The lineage of the Two Sages of the West—had been utterly annihilated!
As for the surviving Bodhisattvas and Arhats?
Their status within the Human Race Heavenly Court was such that even an ordinary young boy or girl, who had not yet ascended to immortality but was merely at the Qi Cultivator level, could scold them at will!
Even with tens of billions of years of Buddhist cultivation and the strength of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, what was the point?
The Human Race Heavenly Court determined status based on whether one was Human Race or an alien race, never based on cultivation level!
Those not of our kind will surely have different intentions...
...
In the eight thousandth year of the Heavenly Emperor calendar, in the same year.
Countless Human Race flying ships surrounded Kunlun Mountain.
A Human Race commander at the Quasi-Saint level, acting on an Emperor's decree—or rather, a Heavenly Emperor's decree.
Above the Nine Heavens of Kunlun Mountain, he proclaimed:
"By the Heavenly Emperor's decree!"
"Without adhering to the laws of the Human Race Heavenly Court, one cannot cultivate the Dao!"
"Without obeying the laws of the Human Race, one cannot achieve cultivation!"
"The immortal gods of the Chan Sect, who refuse to accept the restrictions of the Longevity Edict and the limitations of spiritual energy, shall face only death!"
The voice spread far and wide across the immortal mountains of Kunlun.
Human Race flying ships descended, bringing countless Human Race soldiers.
Kunlun Immortal Mountain was stained with blood.
Only seven of the original twelve Golden Immortals remained.
Now, these seven Golden Immortals also perished one by one.
Even with the potential of Da Luo Golden Immortals and veteran Quasi-Saints, the Twelve Golden Immortals, during the Witch-Demon era, with the exception of Guangchengzi, were all Taiyi Golden Immortals, or even merely Golden Immortals in cultivation.
Now that the Human Race legions had arrived, with five hundred billion Golden Immortal Humans and eighty Quasi-Saint Humans, how could the Chan Sect possibly resist?
The Twelve Golden Immortals were destroyed, and the lineage of the Chan Sect was almost extinguished.
"Human Race..."
Yun Zhongzi, witnessing the tragic death of Bai He Tong Zi.
Along with Randeng Daoren, they knelt directly before the Human Race soldiers.
A Human Race Quasi-Saint commander first glanced at Yun Zhongzi, then at Randeng Daoren, the Vice-Sect Master of the Chan Sect.
He immediately pronounced their fates.
"Yun Zhongzi, as a True Immortal of Fortune and Virtue, has never harmed the Human Race. Therefore, he shall accept the Longevity Edict and be incorporated into the rule of the Human Race Heavenly Court."
"As for Randeng Daoren..."
The Human Race commander stared at Randeng and sneered:
"Vice-Sect Master of the Chan Sect, how many humans have you harmed? How much human faith have you harvested using the method of incense and true essence? How many humans have you oppressed, there's no need for me to elaborate."
"At least tens of billions of humans have been oppressed by you, forced to cultivate immortal fields for sixty billion years, toiling day after day."
"Since you seek to live, you shall be demoted to a slave."
Randeng Daoren was terrified.
In his heart, he felt extreme unwillingness! And extreme humiliation!
He, a dignified guest of Zixiao Palace, a high-ranking innate deity, a quasi-saint early-stage powerhouse.
And also holding the position of Vice-Sect Master of the Chan Sect.
It could be said that among the three thousand guests of Zixiao, he was firmly ranked within the top one hundred, even within the top fifty of the ancient era's peerless powerhouses.
If it were a Da Luo Golden Immortal seeking refuge with Yuanshi Tianzun, someone with a cultivation level similar to the three hundred and sixty-five demon gods, Yuanshi Tianzun would not have appointed him as Vice-Sect Master.
Therefore, Randeng possessed a certain level of ability! Not like those useless guests of Zixiao who left no name in the洪荒流 novels.
Randeng had left a name!
But at this moment, he felt immense humiliation!
To think that he, an innate deity who had cultivated for tens of billions of years, could only be a slave?
"Cultivating for tens of billions of years, what kind of Dao have I cultivated? What kind of immortal have I become?"
"Before the Human Race Heavenly Court, I am only fit to be a slave?"
"Heavenly Dao! Why do you allow the Human Race Heavenly Court, this evil force, to invade the Great Desolation? To allow demons from beyond the heavens to invade the Great Desolation?"
"Dao Ancestor, when will you return!"
Randeng Daoren roared wildly in his heart.
But outwardly, he dared not speak, nor dare he commit suicide to uphold his responsibility as the Vice-Sect Master of the Chan Sect.
He wanted to live.
He understood that without life, there was nothing.
But by living, there was still a chance to rise again.
...
In the ninth thousandth year of the Heavenly Emperor calendar.
Following the true implementation of the Human Race Heavenly Court's plan to sweep the universe and eliminate foreign enemies.
The Great Desolation world had been almost completely purged.
The lineages of Shangqing, Yuqing, and Taiqing, as well as the Western Two Sages' doctrines, were completely buried in the dust of history.
The beings of the Great Desolation either died or completely submitted to the Human Race Heavenly Court, with no other path.
The forces of the old era were thoroughly buried.
With no possibility of resurgence.
