Heaven died, and the world grieved.
Blood rain fell from the sky, and sorrow filled the world. A doleful atmosphere spread throughout the world. What about all life? Although some people accused Heaven of unfairness, most were grateful to Heaven. When great disasters happened in the world, Heaven would send out blessings, even arranging for the five divine envoys to travel the world to provide relief.
The Six Paths Veritable Lord was compassionate and empathetic, someone everyone respected.
Now that demons had killed Heaven, everyone in the world cried for Heaven amid the doleful atmosphere, be they sincere or not.
All life wished they could gnaw on the demons’ flesh, chew on the demons’ bones, and drink the demons’ blood. However, they only could feel hatred, unable to do anything.
Now, their emperor’s voice rang out.
His Holy Eminence is fighting the Demons? The Greatly Compassionate Greatly Sorrowful Six Paths Veritable Lord is also fighting the evil demons, taking revenge for Heaven?
Everyone felt startled.
The evil demons are too strong, and His Holy Eminence is not strong enough, so he is asking to borrow our energy?
Most people did not hesitate.
“Your Holy Eminence, use my energy!” An old man was the first to raise his right hand.
Whoosh!
The Qi Nation’s blessings drew out all the old man’s energy, and he immediately slumped to the ground.
The old man was sapped of energy, but it did not matter. He could recover with time. It would all be worth it if the emperor could kill the evil demons.
“Your Holy Eminence, use my energy!”
“I’ll give it to you, Your Holy Eminence!”
“Your Holy Eminence, kill the evil demons! I’ll give you all my energy!”
Whoosh!
The energy of countless Qi Nation citizens gathered in the golden blessings dragon in the capital amid rumbling.
“Roar!”
The golden blessings dragon flared with bright golden light and rushed to the Go Dao ritual array in the assembly hall.
That Go Dao ritual array connected to Old Mister Guan Qi’s Go Dao ritual arrays in outer space. It seemed to accelerate the golden blessings dragon greatly.
Boom!
The golden blessings dragon carried the boundless energy of the Qi Heavenly Dynasty to outer space, reaching Old Mister Guan Qi in mere moments.
Boom!
The golden blessings dragon rushed into the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord with all of the Qi Heavenly Dynasty citizens’ energy.
The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord that was Old Mister Guan Qi gave off a dazzling golden light, gaining a massive boost in strength.
The Qi Heavenly Dynasty was just the start.
The four heavenly dynasties and eight holy lands all drove the boundless energy of their people, bringing it into Old Mister Guan Qi.
The golden light around Old Mister Guan Qi shone brighter, and he grew stronger. From being suppressed, his Go Dao ritual array regained lost ground.
Boom!
The two Go Dao auras returned to equilibrium.
“Hahahaha! Old Mister Guan Qi, you are using my body to drive the energy of four heavenly dynasties and eight holy lands?” the distant heavenly deity body roared ferociously as he fought Senior Wu.
“Senior Wu, our Go Dao aura is already equal to his! Quickly attack!” Old Mister Guan Qi shouted, ignoring the heavenly deity body.
“I’m already doing my best. The heavenly deity body is stimulating his potential, burning his lifespan. His strength increased tenfold. Can’t you become any stronger?” Senior Wu said, feeling depressed.
Boom!
The tortoise heads and snake heads relentlessly slammed into the heavenly deity body, wanting to knock him into the chaotic spacetime. However, the heavenly deity body did not budge.
“I’m already doing my best, and that is because of my strong Go Dao. Even with my weak strength, I can maintain a balance with him. If you want me to be stronger, then you will have to grant it to me. You are only capable of brute force. Senior Wu, you might as well grant it to me!” Old Mister Guan Qi’s eyes turned cold.
The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord suddenly opened his mouth.
“Hah!”
A mouth suddenly moved toward Senior Wu from behind it to swallow it.
“What?” Senior Wu’s expression changed.
Senior Wu had been fighting against the heavenly deity body with all its strength, so it did not keep its guard up against Old Mister Guan Qi. Who could have expected Old Mister Guan Qi to attack it from behind now?
“Hah! Hahahaha! Senior Wu? Don’t you see? Old Mister Guan Qi was lying to you from the very start. He wanted to consume you all along. Everything he did was for this moment. You got tricked by him!” the heavenly deity body roared ferociously.
Boom!
The white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord had already consumed half of the profound tortoise’s body.
“Old Mister Guan Qi, you tricked me! You are seeking death!” Senior Wu roared ferociously.
The profound tortoise body could not launch a counterattack as it was trapped, but there were still nine snake bodies.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
The nine snakes suddenly soared up, no longer fighting the heavenly deity body. Instead, they charged at Old Mister Guan Qi, wanting to rip him apart.
“It’s useless. The snake bodies could never harm me!” Old Mister Guan Qi sneered.
The nine snakes froze midway to Old Mister Guan Qi.
“What?” Senior Wu exclaimed.
“It’s Feng Yue? There’s Go Dao energy in its body, sealing our energies!” a snake head exclaimed.
At this moment, Prime Feng Yue appeared dazed, controlled by Old Mister Guan Qi.
Shangguan Hen goggled. “I knew it! Back then, Old Mister Guan Qi wanted to help Feng Yue and me improve our cultivations. I did not go, but Feng Yue did. His cultivation did grow remarkably. It turned out to be a scheme for today? Old Mister Guan Qi was already scheming against us back then!”
“What? Ah!” the other heads roared.
“Old Mister Guan Qi, how dare you?!” Senior Wu roared, feeling depressed.
Senior Wu’s mortal enemy should be Jiangchen. Unexpectedly, Old Mister Guan Qi had schemed against it? It would die in the mouth of someone it never expected?
Gulp!
Old Mister Guan Qi ignored Senior Wu. He swallowed the nine profound tortoise heads in one go, and his strength increased significantly.
Gulp!
He swallowed the nine profound snake heads in another gulp.
Boom!
The aura around Old Mister Guan Qi now blazed like a flame, looking savage and malevolent.
The countless stars in the surroundings gave off dazzling light because of this strong aura.
Old Mister Guan Qi’s strength had peaked.
Now, his Go Dao aura overwhelmed the heavenly deity body’s.
The heavenly deity body was slowly forced towards that chaotic spacetime.
The balance tilted in Old Mister Guan Qi’s favor.
The heavenly deity body showed a ferocious expression. “Scheming against everyone? Hahaha! To think that you don’t let off even your allies?”
Old Mister Guan Qi showed a cold gaze. “Although there were some minor flaws, everything moved as I expected. No matter what, I had to consume the black tortoise progenitor as I needed the Nine Palace Diagram on its back. The Nine Palace Diagram can divine the future. I can achieve my goal only if I grasp the opportunity of the future. Humph!”
Whoosh!
Suddenly, black energy burst from the heavenly deity body, rushing toward Old Mister Guan Qi.
Boom!
The black energy suddenly vanished as it neared Old Mister Guan Qi.
“I already said I have the Nine Palace Diagram now. You want to flee? It’s already too late! Obediently enter the chaotic spacetime!” Old Mister Guan Qi said ferociously.
No matter how the heavenly deity body struggled, it could not change anything. It inched closer and closer to the chaotic spacetime.
Am I going to lose?
“No!” the heavenly deity body roared ferociously.
However, he had already done his best. He could not resist Old Mister Guan Qi’s Go Dao aura.
All my efforts are wasted?
The victory seemed set. The heavenly deity body was going to lose.
Boom!
Just then, a beam of light shot over.
Jiang Lianshan, the Scarlet Emperor, the White Emperor, the Three Lives Buddhas, Ji Dihong, the Supreme Ascendant, and Heavenly Access arrived.
On their way there, they had seen everything that had happened. The earlier scene had shocked them terribly.
Old Mister Guan Qi did it? He defeated the heavenly deity body alone?
“Old Mister Guan Qi? Hah! What a deep scheme! Everyone became your pawns? Even the black tortoise progenitor became your pawn? All this to defeat the heavenly deity body? You truly made use of all opportunities, not even letting off the energy of all life?” Jiang Lianshan said with narrowed eyes.
“Everyone, you did not come at this time to help the Six Paths Veritable Lord, right?” Old Mister Guan Qi said indifferently.
“Help? Not to that extent. However, the Immortal Origin…” Determination flashed in Jiang Lianshan’s narrowed eyes.
It was not just Jiang Lianshan. The eyes of Ji Dihong, the Three Lives Buddhas, and Heavenly Access gleamed with desire.
“The Immortal Origin? There are so many people. How are you going to split it?” Old Mister Guan Qi smiled coldly.
Ji Dihong’s expression changed slightly. Then, Jiang Lianshan suddenly shot a cold gaze over. Ji Dihong immediately smiled and backed off.
Jiang Lianshan swept his gaze over everyone. Anyone who met his gaze thought for a while before choosing to give up.
Perhaps because of Jiang Lianshan’s threat or other considerations, everyone stopped competing with Jiang Lianshan.
“There’s no need to split it now,” Jiang Lianshan said with a cold smile.
Jiang Lianshan stepped forward, wanting to step into the area where the two Go Dao auras clashed.
“Haha! No one to compete with you? That might not be the case. Jiang Lianshan, you might have made preparations all over the world. However, preparations might not be sufficient at times. You also need great luck,” Old Mister Guan Qi said seriously.
“Huh? What do you mean?” Jiang Lianshan asked.
“Just because they are not competing does not mean there is no one else. You becoming the immortal? That might not be a good thing. You should get past him first!” Old Mister Guan Qi said.
“Who? You still have helpers?” Jiang Lianshan said coldly.
Old Mister Guan Qi shook his head as he said, “Mister Gu, you have been hiding in the darkness and observing for a long time already, right?”
“Huh?” Everyone’s face sank.
“Heavenly Go Pavilion Master, you consolidate yourself at every step, making careful calculations along the way. Gu Hai is in awe!” A voice came from a nearby star.
A black-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord walked out from behind that star.
When everyone saw the black-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord, their expression changed. There’s another Six Paths Veritable Lord? However, they immediately reacted. That is Gu Hai?
Gu Hai also controls a Six Paths Veritable Lord?
“Gu Hai?” Jiang Lianshan narrowed his eyes.
Old Mister Guan Qi looked at the distant black-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord and said, “Mister Gu, I’ll leave Jiang Lianshan to you. I’ll deal with the heavenly deity body first. What do you think?”
“Alright!” the black-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord said.
The black-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord was Gu Hai. After answering, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Lianshan, who was about to charge into the area where the two Go Dao auras clashed.
