Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1208 - 10: Creation of Heaven and Earth? The Virtue of the Three Sovereigns (Part 3)

At least, Jiang Li was quite flustered by the Pangu Banner.

He thought for a moment and then asked Karma Tathagata: "Layman should have already successfully devoured the True Spirit of Bodhi, right? Do you know the specifics of the End of Dharma?"

Even the third-grade Sun Wukong didn't realize what had happened and directly perished under the End of Dharma, leaving only the True Spirit and Dao Fruit.

As Bodhi is the original owner of the Second Grade Dao Fruit, and also the hardest demon to annihilate, he should be able to last a bit longer and know more details.

"Still somewhat lacking, but the True Spirit of Bodhi has indeed been devoured by the Mazer to the extent of ninety-nine percent."

Karma Tathagata nodded and casually explained Bodhi's situation, "The Mazer was once just one step away from the Tathagata Fruit Position, but then perished under a scheme, using another half of his body to remain in the world, merged with the Great Annihilation Realm, capable of suppressing Bodhi simultaneously on the Buddha and Demon Path. During this period of retreat, he has almost fully mastered the Demon Buddha's power."

"As for the End of Dharma, Bodhi doesn't know much, only that sudden mutations occurred in the Three Pure Ones, enemies of the Three Pure Ones came from outside the heavens, both sides engaged, with aftershocks sweeping the Thirty-three Heavens, causing Immortal Gods to perish one by one. Even many second grades were knocked down to the mortal world by a great force. Afterward, Wa Emperor repaired the heavens once again, Emperor Xi served as protector, Amitabha rushed to the Three Pure Ones, and numerous first grades seemed to have experienced a great war, leading to the comprehensive outbreak of the End of Dharma."

"So, all the First Grade have fallen?" Jiang Li seemed to question but also stated with certainty.

At least for now, the Three Pure Ones have fallen, Emperor Xi and Wa Emperor have been found to have left Dao Fruit, also fallen, just don't know if they, like the Three Pure Ones, didn't leave their True Spirit.

Karma Tathagata saw Jiang Li's face showing a meditative expression, seemingly guessing what Jiang Li was thinking, saying: "As for Wa Emperor, Bodhi doesn't know, but Emperor Xi and Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang, the situation should be extremely dire, even if there's True Spirit left behind, it should be extremely weakened."

"Hmm?"

Jiang Li frowned, "What do you mean by this statement?"

Karma Tathagata slowly explained: "The End of Dharma Tribulation is from top to bottom, when the Sky Collapse happens, no matter whether the tall ones are willing, they have to bear it first. However, even the aftershocks of the End of Dharma are enough to cause all low-level beings to perish. For ordinary people, first-grade and second-grade are not tall ones, but giant gods holding up the heavens."

"Even if it's just a small stone, falling from the extreme of the Sky Dome, it can cause huge destruction. Why, after the End of Dharma, are there still a large number of the Human Race and various beasts, demon kind surviving?"

The current Human Race is not from nothing, reproducing once again, nor are the current beasts.

Even after the End of Dharma, some Great Demon survived and experienced a great war with the Human Race.

Those low-grade Dao Fruits of demons, ghosts, and monsters were refined through slaying actual demons after the End of Dharma.

Even after continuous battles, the Feng family suffered great losses, leading to their decline, until their foundation was divided.

Jiang Li contemplated the reasons among them, and his gaze naturally contracted, "Layman's meaning is, the Three Emperors safeguarded the Mortal World completely, at least partially completely?"

"It's precisely because of the protection of the Three Emperors, Bodhi would fall, otherwise, as long as there's Devil Thought in existence, he would be nearly immortal, even Shakyamuni Tathagata couldn't kill him then." Karma Tathagata remarked on Bodhi's cause of death.

For such an old demon, without mentioning other aspects, survival skills are absolutely maxed out. Moreover, they wouldn't have any noble spirit of sacrificing for righteousness, being malevolent to the end, never redeeming.

In this situation, Bodhi would die, either all living creatures in the world have been exterminated, or someone forcefully disconnected Bodhi from the world's Devil Thought.

Now, the answer is revealed, it was indeed the Three Emperors who sent this old demon into extinction.

To accomplish such a major task under the End of Dharma, even sheltering a large number of living creatures, the consumption of the Three Emperors would surely not be small.

"No wonder Heaven has become like this."

Jiang Li realized, "No wonder after the extermination of the Demon Clan, the Human Race's faith largely returned to the Three Emperors, yet the True Spirit of the Three Emperors never awakened."

Even though not as adept at using Incense Fire Thought Power as the Buddhist, under such a large quantity, they should have awakened long ago. Yet, the True Spirit of the Three Emperors never manifested, and even Heaven, centered around Fuxi Dao Fruit, started bypassing limitations, attempting to override the mortal world.

Thinking this way, some of Jiang Li's previous concerns seemed somewhat redundant.

'Indeed, my virtue is truly not great, no wonder Xuanyuan Sword rejected me.'

Jiang Li self-mockingly had a passing thought, then helplessly said: "What a pity."

"Indeed, what a pity." Karma Tathagata also sighed so.

Though gaining a source of information, they still know little about the End of Dharma.

There's no way, Bodhi, this old demon, had no thought of going to the Three Pure Ones to learn the situation, entirely focused on survival. Knowing the general situation is already considered good.

"Luckily, through Layman, I can confirm the Three Emperors should be inclined towards our side," Jiang Li lamented and added, "If the True Spirit of the Three Emperors could be awoken, perhaps we could learn more."

Although Emperor Jiang was ruthless and heartless, disrespecting his ancestors, loving dumplings, but from the perspective of the Three Emperors, he should still be considered a good person.

At least, compared to Heavenly Monarch, that human-like fellow, Emperor Jiang can be considered to have contributed greatly to the Human Race.

Thus, there would be no need to worry about the True Spirit of the Three Emperors reviving and opposing Jiang Li.

Divine Thought wandered within the body, Primordial Qi surged into the Ochre Whip and Divine Farmer's Cauldron.

Jiang Li planned to contact Emperor Yan's Tao Fruit, see if he could awaken the True Spirit of his ancestor.

'It's time to accelerate the matter of interpreting the Green Emperor Dao Fruit, time waits for no one.'

Having this in mind, Jiang Li once again reached out to grab the Pangu Banner, 'Just right, acquiring this Dao Artifact will help me reverse the Five Viscous.'
