In the imperial palace, the Willow God transformed into human form, a small jade-green willow tree just one foot tall suspended above its head, exuding strands of chaotic mist, guarding its body.
It was about to depart; light shimmered in its eyes, where image after image of ancient divine scrolls faintly appeared—seeming like the past, yet also like the future—overflowing with mystery.
Shi Hao trembled in his heart. What did this foretell? At this moment, the Willow God seemed transcendent and detached. It smiled brightly, exuding ease and grace. Its eyes appeared to reflect past, present, and future.
“Willow God!” Shi Hao’s voice quivered as he realized this was a farewell happening today, at this very moment. A sense of reluctance filled his heart.
White robes fluttering, the Willow God, as ethereal as a true immortal, stepped forward out of the palace, gazing upwards toward the heavens. Finally, it was leaving this mortal world to embark upon its destined path.
…
Gods howled, and devils roared as if the heavens and earth would overturn, as though returning to the legendary ancient era where gods and mortals coexisted and myriad spirits vied for supremacy.
The sky cracked open with thunder, revealing various primordial beings. Commoners on the ground trembled, disbelieving, gazing up in awe before collapsing in terror.
These were legendary creatures, possibly deities or demons.
The masses shuddered with shock, then with fear.
“Boom!”
Another violent tremor sounded; a massive rift tore through the void. The heavens shattered, and thick, dark mist surged forth.
In the sky, a yellow river surged upwards. Within it floated countless skeletons and corpses, flowing endlessly in an unknown direction.
The torrent of yellow water carried a deathly aura.
“This is the River of the Underworld!” an old man cried.
It wasn’t just ordinary mortals in awe—cultivators too trembled in terror. Was this a Reappearance of the ancient primordial myths? The River of the Underworld surging from another world, threatening to transform the Huangya Domain into a realm of death.
Crimson lightning weaved through the air, crackling above the yellow river. This eerie scene sent chills down the spine, as though signaling the end of the world.
“Breaking through a realm of the dead to destroy the Huangya Domain?” murmured the Little Pagoda.
According to its predictions, those whose lifespans had expired were growing frantic. If they could not find those few treasures in the lower world, they would be forced to perish.
Suddenly, a white-clothed figure ascended into the sky, stepping toward the yellow river in a single stride. With robes flaring as if about to ride the winds into immortality, the Willow God had made its move!
A radiant white palm swept across the skies. At once, the ten directions of deathly mist and rolling black fog dissipated, and even the surging torrents of yellow water reversed course, returning to the upper world.
“You dare!” a roar bellowed.
A silver entity emerged, wreathed in chaotic mist, its back bearing a pair of white, fleshy wings. It was a Chaos Corpse.
Dark clouds churned behind it, and wailing spirits filled the air as a vast underworld realm materialized, ready to collide into the Huangya Domain.
The Willow God rushed forward, delivering one palm strike. Radiant energy surged forth, cleansing the boundless black fog. Before it, the realm of the dead trembled violently and cracked.
“Underworld Treasure Wheel!”
With an explosion, the black domain split open, revealing a black disc that sharply contrasted with the silver entity’s flesh.
Stained with much blood, the wheel constantly dripped crimson—accumulated over endless ages, embodying the will and resentment of countless beings.
With a hum, the wheel descended, releasing a powerful aura of death mingled with chaotic mist. At that moment, the Huangya Domain quivered violently, on the verge of collapse.
The Willow God extended one finger. A streak of green light shattered the wheel, sending it flying beyond the domain. Instantly, the stars dimmed, causing untold destruction!
The Chaos Corpse was stunned. How could his spiritual artifact, refined over endless eons, be knocked away so easily?
“Return!”
With a shout, the black wheel rotated backward, merging with the underworld realm before unleashing boundless aura of death. Then, together, they pressed down upon the Willow God.
The Chaos Corpse dove forward, carrying the underworld and the wheel, launching a full assault on the Willow God. It had unleashed its ultimate battle force, seeking to decide victory or defeat in this clash!
At this level of cultivation, sometimes hundreds of moves weren’t needed; life and death could be determined in an instant!
It knew others were watching from the upper world, preparing to join in against the Willow God. So it could hold nothing back, while the opponent would surely be cautious, hesitant to unleash fully.
“Boom!”
The Willow God stood firm, yet radiant divine light erupted from it. In an instant, one hundred and eight golden branches—each with golden buds and leaves—shot forth from its body like one hundred and eight divine chains of cosmic order.
“Boom!”
The Chaos Corpse was astonished. It discovered that it couldn’t defend itself. Its artifact was pierced by countless holes, and the underworld realm shattered outright!
The one hundred and eight golden branches pierced through the wheel and the underworld, then pierced through the Chaos Corpse’s nearly impervious corpse, leaving it translucent from front to back!
“It’s impossible! My body is no weaker than the golden flesh of the Zhangsix!” it screamed.
“Boom!”
With a sudden tremble of the golden branches, the Chaos Corpse split and exploded entirely. All the surrounding mists were purified and dispelled, leaving only golden branches glowing in the void.
Too swift, too magnificent! The Willow God’s full-power strike shattered a supreme being from the upper world, ending the life of a Chaos Corpse!
One must know that a Chaos Corpse was the most terrifying being—its flesh undying, immensely powerful, brimming with infinite deathly aura. Anyone touched by its aura would see their blood and flesh corrupted, and their cultivation power diminish greatly.
“This…” Even the Little Pagoda was flabbergasted.
In the void, several enormous rifts rapidly opened. The spies watching from the shadows appeared, shocked beyond expectation at the Willow God’s peerless might, which had instantly slain the Chaos Corpse.
“Chi!”
A sword beam pierced through the air, its blazing white-gold light illuminating the cosmos of all ages, extremely piercing—this was a young man, incredibly handsome, wielding a heavenly sword, striking straight down.
The Ageless Sovereign had arrived, though compared to last time, he looked very cold, as if forged from metal.
“Clang!”
The Willow God snapped its finger, using just one digit to deflect the blazing heavenly sword, forcing the Ageless Sovereign to retreat.
“Weng!”
Emerald light flickered, and a colossal tree from the heavens descended. A young man stood atop the ancient tree and moved to suppress the Willow God.
“Ah?!” The Little Pagoda changed expression, crying out in alarm.
The young figure was identical to the Ageless Sovereign, except that it radiated green light and seemed fused with the ancient tree, exuding an overwhelming aura of life force.
“This is the Ageless Sovereign’s Five Element Body—it’s indestructible!” the Little Pagoda said, astonished and uncertain.
“Is it a manifestation?” Shi Hao asked.
“No, they’re all true forms. Some say the Ageless Sovereign was five people, others say he has mastered the Five Elements and thus has five lives,” the Little Pagoda replied seriously, then ascended to join the fight.
Because it understood that the Ageless Sovereign was an enigma—besides being immensely powerful, he was nearly immortal, with five selves united, possessing the invincibility of heaven and earth!
Shi Hao opened his mouth wordlessly. He realized the Little Pagoda was gone too, never to return—he had lost another companion.
Above, the Willow God’s forehead glowed. Immediately, three thousand realms appeared around it, each glowing like a radiant fireball. At that moment, they blazed fiercely, engulfing the colossal tree.
“Chi!”
Blazing sword beams, roaring flames, surging earth mist, raging torrents of water—the ancient tree surged forward. In an instant, five young men appeared, launching synchronized attacks on the Willow God as the Five Elements rotated, opening the Heavens and Earth!
Before the Little Pagoda could approach, someone blocked its path—an archbishop of the Western Sect appeared, radiating golden light.
Moreover, other figures joined the Ageless Sovereign to suppress the Willow God, because they had felt an immense pressure. The Willow God’s decisive elimination of the Chaos Corpse made everyone uneasy.
“Chi!”
Suddenly, leaves swirled from around the Willow God, shimmering beautifully. They transformed from emerald to golden yellow, then became a flock of Kun Peng birds, all flapping their wings to pierce the heavens.
“Bad!”
Someone cried out desperately, quickly launching an attack. Meanwhile, the Ageless Sovereign’s five bodies also shuddered, launching desperate strikes. Here, the Five Elements’ energies boiled violently!
Reaching such a level in the mastery of divine techniques was indeed unprecedented. Each leaf transformed into a Kun Peng, golden with black streaks—how terrifying was that transformation?
It should be known that even one Kun Peng could shake the world. The Willow God displayed numerous such transformations instantly—not true Kun Peng, but the sheer quantity was an immense catastrophe!
Shi Hao watched in astonishment, his heart stirred, his sight broadened. He had never seen such an application before, but it opened his mind to a far greater world, leaving him filled with aspirations.
Amid the terrifying clash, amid the explosive chaotic lights, amid the cries of the Kun Peng, and amid the roars of the Ageless Sovereign, blood rain poured. One figure extinguished, then another exploded.
The Ageless Sovereign retreated, leaving only three figures remaining. Two had perished, leaving everyone present in shock.
For a moment, the sky was silent. Then, numerous figures emerged from the void, each exuding an immense and solemn aura, shrouded in chaotic mist, their eyes deep and ancient.
They spoke no words. Yet the Little Pagoda shrieked frantically, broke free from the Zhangsix Golden Body, and shot into the sky, heading straight for one figure.
Above this person’s head floated a tower—only two stories tall, radiant as jade, surrounding and protecting the figure below, appearing extremely formidable.
“Was it you who destroyed one of our divine kingdoms?” the Willow God spoke.
“You obstructed my path.” The Taoist cultivator responded, the two-story tower above his head manifesting Yin and Yang energies, radiating both forces downward.
“Then let us settle this with a duel!” said the Willow God.
Surprisingly, no one moved in to assist this time. All simply observed, for this Taoist cultivator was known to be extremely formidable and terrifying, having made numerous enemies in the upper world. He was called the Yin-Yang Cultivator, having lived for countless eons.
The battle erupted. The Yin-Yang Cultivator advanced forward, his tower emanating two primal forces, seeking to suppress the entire world!
The Little Pagoda screamed and charged directly forward, clashing against the two-story tower, seeking to seize it.
The Taoist cultivator didn’t care, for even with his own actions alone, he could collapse the void. His physical body was unimaginably terrifying, and he charged forward to strike the Willow God head-on.
“Boom!”
In an instant, he clashed with the Willow God over ten times, rivaling the heavens in power, engaging in pure physical combat.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes widened in shock. The Yin-Yang Cultivator was simply too powerful. He was among the oldest generation and had lived up to his fearsome reputation.
Figures crossed paths and clashed fiercely. Moments later, the Yin-Yang Cultivator’s eyes burned with divine light, emitting two terrifying beams—one pitch black, one dazzling white—shattering the heavens and Earth.
At this moment, even the stars beyond the domain trembled and fell, shaken loose!
The Willow God, robes fluttering, formed celestial seals with both hands. One hand pointed to the heavens, the other to the Earth, and then slowly joined together. The myriad constellations shimmered, appearing briefly in its hands before vanishing.
With a roar, a wave of eternal radiance erupted forth from the combined cosmic seal.
“Boom!”
With a roar of defiance, the Yin-Yang Cultivator exploded. Blood surged skyward, crimson mist scattered and vanished into the void.
