The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord moved exceptionally quickly. He immediately appeared in front of the fleeing group.
Boom!
The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord blocked everyone.
“Hahahaha! Flee? He is the earthly deity body. Like me, he is one of the three spiritual souls. We can consume external things and plunder their ability. When I was at my full power, I could fight him. You cannot escape. Even your Go Dao laws are useless against him. It’s over for you. It’s over! Hah! Old Mister Guan Qi? What a ruthless scheme!” the mortal deity body roared weakly.
“Shut up!” Ensnaring Performance shouted furiously, feeling anxious.
The distant white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord waved his hand.
An incredibly long vine erupted from his hand.
Crack!
The vine was like a long whip. It swung out with a loud whistle, cutting hundred of stars in half.
“Longevity’s wood laws are pretty good!” the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord laughed coldly, flinging out the vine.
Whoosh!
The whip swung at the group.
“Ninth Cycle!”
“Future Scripture!”
“Jia Metal Energy!”
[TL Note: Jia is the first of the ten Heavenly Stems. There is no translation for that. It is also frequently used to denote a sequence like ABC or 123. Jia is frequently translated as alpha or first because of that.]
A scripture immediately appeared in front of the Future Buddha, Gu Hai executed the Ninth Cycle, and Ensnaring Performance shot out a golden sword qi.
Boom!
The whip shattered the Ninth Cycle’s manifested saber, the Future Scripture, and the golden sword qi.
“Astral ritual array!” Gu Hai shouted.
Boom!
The Life Trapper Saber manipulated countless stars to rush forward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The whip deviated after cutting tens of thousands of stars in half, brushing by the group. It had been a close call. They managed to escape the whip attack, but it had torn a large gash in space.
“The earthly deity body is that strong?” Gu Hai showed an unsightly expression.
“Flee? Let’s see where you can flee to!” the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord said coldly.
“Amitābha!” The Future Buddha suddenly revealed a faint expression of pity.
“Future Buddha? I heard that you could predict the future. Did you predict today’s calamity?” the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord said coldly.
“This humble monk’s prediction is just dreaming of some future scenes. I have dreamed of today’s calamity. Otherwise, I would not have come to All Magnificent Island. However, this humble monk had always thought it would be due to the Six Paths Veritable Lord. Unexpectedly, it would be you, Old Mister Guan Qi,” the Future Buddha sighed.
“Oh?”
“This humble monk frequently dreams of the future, but it had never been accurate. This changed twenty days ago, when you all arrived in this world. Only then did I discover that my dreams have become accurate, including today,” the Future Buddha said.
“Dream? Accurate? What did you dream of in the end? Did I kill the Six Paths Veritable Lord?” The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord smiled coldly.
The Future Buddha shook his head. “I dreamed that you lost at the end.”
“Huh?” The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord’s pupils’ constricted.
“Mister Gu, I dreamed that you defeated Old Mister Guan Qi—that is the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord before us,” the Future Buddha said with palms held together.
“Me?” Gu Hai felt slightly startled.
How could I defeat Old Mister Guan Qi as I am now?
“Mister Gu, I even dreamed that I eventually became your subject. I hope that my dream is true. In the future…in the future, find me using my Savant Wisdom Divine Cane,” the Future Buddha said after taking a deep breath.
“My subject?” Gu Hai again felt slightly startled.
“I’ll block him. Leave quickly!” the Future Buddha said seriously.
“Future Buddha, with just you?” the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord sneered.
After the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord sneered, he opened his mouth again.
“Hah!”
A powerful suction appeared, tearing space as it tried to pull the group in.
“Ah!” Ensnaring Performance struggled desperately, refusing to be sucked in.
The Future Buddha did not resist, sucked towards the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord’s mouth. As he flew over, he sat cross-legged in space, pressing his palms together, with a compassionate expression. A golden halo appeared behind his head.
“Buddha said that the world is born when the eyes close, and the world is destroyed when the eyes open!” the Future Buddha said gravely.
As he spoke, his voice seemed to spread throughout the heavens.
“Huh?” The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord’s expression changed.
The Future Buddha’s shut eyes slowly opened.
“The World Cleansing Shut Eyes Meditation?” Gu Hai’s expression changed.
Previously, Qin Zibai’s father, Qin Yun, used the World Cleansing Shut Eyes Meditation. At that time, he was just in the Middle Heavenly Palace Realm but had gained a might that could destroy the world. Now, the Future Buddha himself was executing it?
The Future Buddha’s eyes did not seem to have pupils and appeared extremely cloudy.
Buzz!
Starting from the Future Buddha’s eyes, a murky destructive light spread towards the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord.
Boom!
The light destroyed the stars behind the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord, ripping a large portion of space into pieces and shredding everything there.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Everything instantly exploded. The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord bore the brunt of this apocalyptic attack.
This attack was no weaker than the ten thousand Disintegration Beams. In fact, it was even stronger.
“Future Buddha!” the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord roared furiously.
“Run!” the Future Buddha shouted.
Many cracks appeared in the Future Buddha’s body, accompanied by loud crackling.
“The World Cleansing Shut Eyes Meditation, cleansing the world when the eyes open. The sky tears and the ground ruptures; the souls shatter.” Gu Hai’s expression changed.
Is the Future Buddha going to take the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord down with him?”
No, the Future Buddha’s words meant that he would live. What did that mean?
However, Gu Hai no longer had time to consider this. He clutched the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s limp mortal deity body and shot into the distance with Ensnaring Performance. Now that the Future Buddha had used the World Cleansing Shut Eyes Meditation, the suction from the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord was significantly weaker.
“You bastard, Future Buddha!” The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord felt a towering rage before the destructive light.
Finally, a palm strike penetrated the destructive light and landed on the Future Buddha’s cracked body.
Boom!
The Future Buddha’s body exploded and shattered into powder.
A gigantic black hole appeared above. The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord’s clothes had sustained some damage, giving him a sorry appearance. However, he was too strong. Apart from his clothes, his body was intact.
“Where are they?” The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord’s eyes turned cold as he searched for Gu Hai’s group.
He saw Gu Hai and Ensnaring Performance plunge towards the sea while dragging the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s mortal deity body.
Splash!
The three entered the sea.
“You fled very quickly. Humph! Damn Future Buddha!” The resentful white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord wanted to give chase.
However, a loud report came from outside All Magnificent Island just then.
Boom!
Jiang Lianshan’s Classic of Changes World shattered.
A Six Paths Veritable Lord rushed out in an extremely sorry state.
“Don’t let him run!” A loud shout came from the Classic of Changes World.
In the next moment, Jiang Lianshan, the Supreme Ascendant, Heavenly Access, the Flame Monarch, the Scarlet Emperor, and the White Emperor charged out, bloodied. They chased after the fire deity body, whose flesh had been mostly stripped clean away.
Right now, the fire deity body was in an extremely sorry state, clearly on his last breath.
“Humph!” The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord’s figure flashed.
Boom!
The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord instantly appeared before the dying fire deity body.
“Ah? Earthly Deity Body, save me!” The fire deity body showed great joy on his face.
“Save you? Hah!” the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord laughed coldly and opened his mouth.
“Hah!”
A powerful suction appeared and pulled in the fire deity body.
Jiang Lianshan and the others paused, and their expressions changed dramatically.
“Another Six Paths Veritable Lord?” the White Emperor said in shock.
“He consumed the earlier Six Paths Veritable Lord?” the Scarlet Emperor said in shock.
“How could it be like this?” the Flame Monarch said, stunned.
“This is the earthly deity body? It is even stronger than the earlier fire deity body!” The Supreme Ascendant’s face sank.
Heavenly Access’s expression changed too.
After consuming the fire deity body, the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord looked at Jiang Lianshan and showed a faint, cold smile. “Jiang Lianshan, it took you so long to deal with one fire deity body. You truly disappoint me!”
The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord mocked the group, then ignored it to charge to where Gu Hai entered the sea.
“What did the earthly deity body mean?” The White Emperor felt confused.
“Old Mister Guan Qi? That was Old Mister Guan Qi earlier?” Jiang Lianshan’s expression changed as he recognized Old Mister Guan Qi.
“Old Mister Guan Qi? That’s impossible, right?” everyone exclaimed in shock.
Splash!
The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord dived into the sea in the distance. However, his expression changed when he reached the bottom. Then he waved his hand.
The faint wisps of blood lingering in the water gathered in front of the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord.
“The mortal deity body? To think that you managed to find an opportunity?!” the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord roared in a fury.
The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord flung out his hand in a rage.
Boom!
Plenty of seawater soared into the sky, leaving this patch of sea empty in an instant.
Whoosh!
The seawater fell from the sky. However, Gu Hai’s group had disappeared.
“Humph!” the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord snorted coldly as he rushed out of the sea. He had lost their trail.
“Indeed, the Future Buddha’s words cannot be trusted. Some dream it was, Gu Hai defeating me? What a joke! Gu Hai already got eaten!” The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord showed some disdain.
Gu Hai had pulled the Life Executioner Saber and the Life Trapper Saber out of the limp Six Paths Veritable Lord’s body when he fought the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord. Without the two sabers’ suppression, the mortal deity body recovered somewhat. However, the mortal deity body pretended that he had not recovered.
This continued until Gu Hai and Ensnaring Performance charged into the sea.
Phish! Phish!
The mortal deity body’s right hand and left leg suddenly stabbed into Gu Hai’s and Ensnaring Performance’s chests.
“What?” Ensnaring Performance’s expression changed as he gazed at the limp mortal deity body in disbelief.
“Hah!”
The mortal deity body showed a ferocious expression as he opened his mouth and sucked.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The mortal deity body instantly sucked Gu Hai and Ensnaring Performance into his mouth.
“No!” Ensnaring Performance roared in despair.
However, Gu Hai did not show any despair as the mortal deity body sucked him in. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, and a black Go stone came out of his fingertip.
Gulp!
The mortal deity body swallowed Gu Hai and Ensnaring Performance.
“Hahahahahaha! In the end, I still consumed you?!” the mortal deity body guffawed excitedly.
As the mortal deity body guffawed, he started plundering Gu Hai’s energy. The Life Ender Saber and the Life Killer Saber stabbing into him began to merge into his body.
After the mortal deity body swallowed Ensnaring Performance and Gu Hai, black Daoist robes appeared on his body.
The black-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord did not dare to hesitate. He stepped forward on the seabed and shot into the distance.
After the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord consumed the fire deity body, he immediately rushed over.
Boom!
Boundless seawater went flying, but the black-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord had vanished.
