After ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍hearing Li Tianwei’s words, the System had no idea how Li Tianwei had gone about doing it, or rather, what exactly he had been analyzing.

“Very ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍simple. It’s an entirely new kind of power. I’ve already seen my enemy.”

Li ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Tianwei merely nodded lightly as he spoke and looked into the void, as though he could see something through it.

The ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Evil Manifestation Demon Lord, who existed between existence and nonexistence, also sensed Li Tianwei’s gaze and suddenly felt a chill run through his entire body.

“Why ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍do I feel like he can see me?”

Looking through the barrier separating the cultivation world, the Evil Manifestation Demon Lord met Li Tianwei’s eyes and inexplicably had that thought.

“Is it just an illusion? Those people couldn’t possibly know of our existence.”

“At Tianshu’s speed, he should make his move against him soon enough. Once that happens, we’ll know exactly what that fellow really is.”

“What am I even afraid of?”

The Evil Manifestation Demon Lord thought to himself.

At that moment, after receiving Li Tianwei’s reply, the System also responded.

【As long as you’re alright.】

Although it had no idea what Li Tianwei had been doing, as long as he was unharmed, the System finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, the Sun–Moon Banner, having waited so long without any response from Li Tianwei, was already nearing its limit.

As the Buddhist Sect joined the battle, several great wars erupted. During this period, even Evil Souls at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm had been annihilated.

Although the Sun–Moon Banner could command such an enormous number of Evil Souls and possessed the ability to illuminate everything in existence, it still had its limits.

Under the combined counterattack of the entire Western Spirit Domain, even the Sun–Moon Banner, despite being an Immortal Artifact, could not withstand it.

Not to mention that the Tianshu Demon Lord was secretly stirring trouble from the shadows.

Previously, the Sun–Moon Banner had no way to deal with them.

But things were different now.

The moment it saw Li Tianwei finally regain his focus and stop staring into the sky, the Sun–Moon Banner finally let out a long sigh of relief.

“Finally... finally...”

For the first time, the Sun–Moon Banner truly relaxed.

The Western Spirit Domain had overwhelming numbers. The Evil Demons and cultivators had joined forces.

But it also had someone backing it.

Thus, the Sun–Moon Banner immediately transmitted its voice to Li Tianwei.

“True Lord, True Lord, something has happened.”

“Those mortals and those bald monks have actually joined forces with the Evil Demons to attack us.”

The Sun–Moon Banner’s voice entered Li Tianwei’s consciousness.

Li Tianwei, who had been communicating with the System, turned around and looked up at the banner fluttering high in the sky, its resentment soaring into the heavens.

However, compared to before, its aura was no longer as overwhelming.

Seeing this, Li Tianwei immediately understood what had happened.

He had already anticipated this after learning about the Demon Lords from the Evil Demons who had invaded the Northern Spirit Domain.

“The Demon Lords?”

Li Tianwei murmured softly, as though he had already understood everything.

There was no prophecy or foresight involved.

It was simply the result of research, observation, and deduction.

“I’ll handle this.”

“I’ll lend you some power. Just carry out your previous arrangements as you originally planned.”

“They’ll be coming here very soon.”

Li Tianwei gently waved his hand.

A vast surge of power swept across heaven and earth before directly pouring into the Sun–Moon Banner.

Feeling Li Tianwei’s power arrive, the Sun–Moon Banner, whose strength had been more than half depleted, shuddered as though receiving long-awaited rain after a drought.

With Li Tianwei’s power supporting it, the Sun–Moon Banner instantly regained its spirit.

“Come on then, you old bald donkeys! Let your Grandfather Immortal Artifact show you what real power looks like!”

The Sun–Moon Banner roared.

Its power erupted instantly, surging directly into the Evil Souls scattered throughout the land.

Empowered by the strength of Li Tianwei, their true master, these Evil Souls seemed as though they had been injected with stimulants. They charged forward one after another, becoming even more fearless of death.

For a time, the Evil Souls launched a counterattack.

“Soon... very soon... you’ll finally make your move as well.”

“But now, you are the enemy of everyone in the Western Spirit Domain.”

The Tianshu Demon Lord, who had been observing everything, not only felt no concern but was instead delighted.

In his view, Li Tianwei’s intervention meant he had already lost their previous contest.

It proved that Li Tianwei’s power had a limit.

He did not possess the strength to suppress everything absolutely.

“In that case... it’s my turn.”

“The True Buddha Descending into the Mortal World is about to arrive.”

The Tianshu Demon Lord smiled faintly.

After ruling the Western Spirit Domain for so long, he had always been preparing to completely replace the Dao.

Long ago, he had already infiltrated every law, every regulation, and even the Buddhist Sect itself, completely replacing their so-called formless Buddha.

With a single decree from him, the entire Buddhist Sect would rush about carrying out his will.

That alone demonstrated the overwhelming authority of the Buddha.

Now, there was even less need to mention it.

As more and more people fell under his deception, they continuously provided the Tianshu Demon Lord with boundless power.

“Namo Amitabha.”

A burst of Buddhist chanting echoed between heaven and earth.

Everyone, no matter where they were in the Western Spirit Domain, could hear it, and it stirred within their hearts.

At that moment, many people involuntarily raised their heads toward the heavens.

There, above the Western Spirit Domain, sat a figure upon a lotus throne.

Behind him, Buddhist light radiated in every direction, while an increasingly solemn and majestic aura spread outward.

Yet to every different person in the Western Spirit Domain, the Buddha seated upon the lotus throne appeared with a different face.

“The Buddha has descended.”

“Yes! I see the Buddhist light! I want to ascend to the Western Paradise.”

“Father, Mother... that Buddha looks just like you!”

Countless voices, thoughts, and desires all drifted toward the descending Tianshu Demon Lord.

“I want wealth.”

“I want to become Emperor.”

“I want to stay alive. As long as I can eat my fill every day, that’s enough.”

“I want all my enemies to die.”

The weight of those countless beliefs continued to accumulate until it reached an unimaginable level.

The Tianshu Demon Lord could sense that it would not be long before he completely replaced the Dao.

When that time came, the Western Spirit Domain would become his domain alone.

“Yes, I’ll give you everything.”

“As long as you believe in me.”

The Tianshu Demon Lord did not care about anything else and continuously painted grand illusions for them.

Meanwhile, the powerful cultivators of the Great Lotus Temple also received every detail regarding the Great Evil.

Namely, Li Tianwei’s portrait.

And the decree contained only one command—

Destroy him at all costs.

With the Tianshu Demon Lord fanning the flames, it was no longer just cultivators.

More and more mortals joined in as well.

If someone could overlook the entire Western Spirit Domain from above, they would discover countless tiny black dots.

Crowds upon crowds were continuously advancing toward Li Tianwei’s location.

Moreover, in every street and every corner, an unmistakable banner could be seen.

A pure yellow banner embroidered with the words:

Exterminate Evil and Destroy Wickedness, Welcome the Descent of the Buddha.

These banners completely represented the direction in which the Western Spirit Domain had chosen to stand.

In contrast, the Evil Souls, which had only just begun their counterattack, were once again subjected to overwhelming suppression.

Especially those monks.

The moment they witnessed the true Buddha descending into the world, they became utterly frenzied.

“Buddha! Buddha!”

They roared as one, continuously unleashing all manner of evil-exterminating incantations and techniques upon the Evil Souls.

Many Evil Souls were annihilated on the spot.

The unity of the Western Spirit Domain had become terrifying.
