"Not knowing the Buddhist gate, not cultivating the fast, not fearing the evil karma of this life and the next, not observing the precepts, not believing in the cycle of reincarnation, this is the defilement of sentient beings."
"In the Age of Dharma Decline, sentient beings have many karmic obstacles, sinking into desire and never attaining liberation, never hearing the true Dharma of Buddhism, and thus, the end of the epoch is unavoidable."
"However, Buddha's nature is compassionate, and he cannot bear to see the mortal world fall. The future Buddha Maitreya will descend to save the world..."
At Shaolin Temple, countless monks chanted the "Maitreya Descent Sutra."
"Thus have I heard. At one time, the Buddha was in the Jetavana Grove, bestowed by Anathapindika, in Savatthi, with a great assembly of five hundred bhikshus."
"At that time, the Buddha said to Ananda..."
Before they could reach the scriptures about the future Buddha Maitreya descending to save sentient beings from the epoch of Dharma Decline.
The tide of destruction had already swept over Shaolin Temple.
Whether it was the martial prowess of Grandmasters, Innate realm cultivators, or the Maitreya Buddha's future enlightenment and descent to save people as recorded in the Buddhist scriptures... none of it allowed the monks to remain immortal under the laws of the Immortal Emperor.
Under the laws of the Immortal Emperor, all beings are equal.
There was no difference in the time of death.
...
The Beggar's Sect, Qiao Feng of the North.
In the South, Murong Fu of the Murong family.
The Central Plains, Western Xia, Dali...
Even the Liao Kingdom, and the Jurchen tribe in the lands of Bai Shan Hei Shui...
Under the destruction of the world, there was no difference.
The Central Plains and its surroundings were destroyed!
The three protagonists of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils were destroyed, and the plot of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils was destroyed!
However, the power of destruction had not stopped!
In regions of the Eurasian continent not covered by the plot, in North and South America, countless lives were swept away by the destructive force and annihilated.
On Earth, life was destroyed, and the surface biosphere fell silent.
However, after a few more moments, even the Earth itself was destroyed, turning into dust.
The eight planets were destroyed.
The single star in this fictional world, the star named Sun, which provided light and heat, maintained the operation of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils plot, and was the most basic planetary ecological environment suitable for humans.
Naturally, it could not escape the fate of destruction.
The internal environment of this fictional world was completely destroyed.
However, the power of the Immortal Emperor's laws was not limited to destroying a single solar system.
The destruction at this moment was merely spatial destruction!
A year ago, two years ago, three years ago, there still existed figures like Murong Fu, Qiao Feng, the three masters of the้้ฅ sect, the Sweeping Monk, and Master Ku Rong.
There also existed kingdoms like Dali, Tubo, Song, and Liao.
Beings bound by time would believe that this fictional world had been destroyed.
However, beings who transcended time would believe that this fictional world had not been destroyed.
Fang Ming was one such being.
The primordial spirit in the rotten wooden box, the former Immortal Emperor, was also one such being.
Therefore, a trace of the Immortal Emperor's laws, naturally, did not only affect the current timeline but also the past and future.
...
A hundred years before the opening of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils plot.
This was the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
Murong Longcheng was fighting with Xiaoyaozi.
Suddenly, he saw a destructive wave approaching from afar.
This chaotic era came to an end.
Again, the Central Plains and its surroundings were destroyed.
Again, Eurasia, North and South America were annihilated.
Again, the Earth was destroyed.
Finally, the solar system was destroyed.
...
During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
At this time, martial arts had not yet truly risen.
The martial arts cultivation system known as Houtian, Xiantian, and Grandmaster had not yet been organized by people.
However, in this era, there was a martial artist.
She was divinely gifted with a sword.
She was extremely powerful. Although she had not undergone a standardized, qualified, and systematic stage of martial arts learning, she was already far superior to the Sweeping Monk, Xiaoyaozi, and other Grandmaster-level experts.
She was the creator of the Yue Maiden Sword, Yue Maiden Ah Qing!
If the Jin Yong world had a realm beyond breaking the void, Yue Maiden Ah Qing would even be qualified to break the void and ascend.
"Three thousand Yue soldiers can swallow Wu..."
The maiden Ah Qing stood atop the city.
The three thousand Yue soldiers were originally her disciples. After she passed down her swordsmanship, Yue's strength grew even stronger.
When the Yue army, led by the three thousand elite soldiers, broke through the state of Wu, and the head of the once invincible King Fuchai of Wu appeared before the King of Yue.
The state of Yue became famous among the seven states for the first time!
And it has always been the case that once the birds are gone, the good bow is put away.
In the Yue King's palace, the three thousand Yue soldiers, disciples personally taught by Ah Qing, attacked Ah Qing herself.
The three thousand Yue soldiers were the elite of the elite, and they had learned a trace of the profoundness of Ah Qing's Yue Maiden Divine Sword and Heavenly Human Sword Dao. With the momentum of a large army surrounding and killing, they attacked a young girl...
Some people thought they had it in the bag.
But in reality, the three thousand Yue soldiers could not stop a Heavenly Human realm martial artist, who could break the void in the Huang-series world.
In less than a moment, Ah Qing had defeated the three thousand Yue soldiers, and wherever she went, she could not be stopped.
If it weren't for her own despair and unwillingness to harm the one she loved, the Yue King's palace could not have stopped her.
The kings of all nations, even with countless guards in their palaces, or even in military camps, could not stop a Heavenly Human martial artist.
Under the decapitation tactic, no matter where they were, no matter how many armies guarded them, not a single king could escape Ah Qing's divine sword, but she herself did not wish to do so.
Looking at the destructive wave in the distance.
The maiden Ah Qing pointed her bamboo stick forward.
This was her sword.
All things in heaven and earth could be swords.
Ah Qing was a Heavenly Human realm martial artist. Her heart was almost one with the heavens, and when she acted, she subtly resonated with heaven and earth in her spirit, drawing upon the infinite power of heaven and earth.
This was the realm of a Heavenly Human martial artist who grasped the profound mysteries of nature's creation, the realm of the mind.
If not for the martial artist's spirit and mind, even if they could reach the heavens, they would find it difficult to escape the shackles of a mortal body. Even if they resonated with heaven and earth, they could not leap more than thirty feet.
Bound by the limitations of their own bodies.
At this moment, Ah Qing could almost resonate with all the spiritual energy in the entire Central Plains region and mobilize all of it...
"The tribulation of world destruction... unavoidable..."
Even heaven and earth themselves were trembling.
Ah Qing, united with the heart of heaven, naturally knew that the tribulation was unavoidable.
But she could vaguely see what was contained within that Immortal Emperor's law and gain some insight from it.
In terms of power, Heavenly Human realm martial artists were only at the peak of the two-star level, slightly approaching the three-star level, situated between the two-star and three-star levels.
However, Heavenly Human realm martial artists, who comprehended the profound mysteries of nature's creation and almost replaced the heart of heaven with their own, possessed a spiritual and mental realm that many eight-star, nine-star, or even ten-star immortal-heroic cultivators had not comprehended.
The primordial spirits of the Primordial Sages were merged into the Dao of Heaven, becoming one with the heart of heaven. If divided by spiritual and mental realms, it seemed that there was no difference in rank between them and the Heavenly Human realm martial artists.
It was just that one merged with the heart of a ten-star world.
And the other merged with the heart of a two-star world.
There might be an infinite gap between the two, but there were ultimately many similarities.
Ah Qing gained some insight.
From the Immortal Emperor's laws, she seemed to have understood something.
If she had enough time, perhaps she could overcome the shortcomings of a powerful spirit and mind, but a weak body, a weak soul, and weak true qi.
In a short period, she had seen the path ahead.
