Chang Ming and the Mosquito Daoist wanted to stop the Fly Daoist, but they could not. The powerful explosion even pushed the two back.
After the Fly Daoist’s head exploded, black fog surged out from the remnants of his head. A mangled corpse worm howled in the black fog.
“Fly Daoist, you trash! To think you dared to self-detonate?! Do you think I can’t obtain the Blood Shaman’s deity with your death? Also, your Heart of Darkness is mine. All mine! The two of them can forget about escaping alive. This peak master wants them dead!” A furious roar came from around the corpse worm.
Thud!
The Mosquito Daoist threw a palm strike.
Boom!
The corpse worm exploded.
Now, only a headless corpse remained of the Fly Daoist, fallen in a pool of blood in a sorry state.
“You would rather die than let the corpse worm eat your three spiritual souls? Hah! We are the same, indeed.” A ferocious look flashed in the Mosquito Daoist’s eyes.
Chang Ming’s body flared with crimson light, the effects of the Blood Shaman’s deity already starting to show.
As Chang Ming looked at this headless corpse, he suddenly knelt.
“Master, although this disciple doubted Master, even a master for a day is like a father for life. This disciple Chang Ming swears to avenge Master!” Chang Ming snarled through gritted teeth, scowling ferociously.
After speaking, Chang Ming kowtowed three times to the Fly Daoist’s corpse.
The Mosquito Daoist took out a coffin and carefully placed the Fly Daoist’s headless corpse into it.
“Old thing, although we fought for many years, I’m unused to your sudden disappearance. You would rather die than let the corpse worm eat your three spiritual souls. Although your three spiritual souls shattered, I will think of a way to revive you. Perhaps I cannot do that now, but it does not mean I can’t in the future. Rest well. You will always be my—the Mosquito Daoist’s—rival!” The Mosquito Daoist clenched his fist, showing a determined expression.
“Mosquito Daoist, Chang Ming, come and face death!” A loud shout came from a distance.
The faces of the Mosquito Daoist and Chang Ming sank.
“Oh no! The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon is really coming!” Chang Ming’s expression changed.
Thud!
The Mosquito Daoist closed the coffin lid and quickly put away the Fly Daoist’s corpse.
“We have to leave immediately. Quickly! Go to the central corpse pit and meet with His Reverence!” the Mosquito Daoist yelled.
Whoosh!
The two immediately shot towards the central corpse pit.
“Trying to leave? No one can escape me!” The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s furious voice came from the horizon.
In Kong Xuan’s layer of the Three-Layered Past Conception:
Previously, the Sword Deity Six Paths continuously knocked back Kong Xuan when they fought.
Kong Xuan was in the middle-stage ninth-layer Upper Heavenly Palace Realm, even more powerful than the Mosquito Daoist. However, the Sword Deity Six Paths, an eighth-layer Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator, had suppressed him.
The person with a higher cultivation lost to one with a lower cultivation. This was not normal, but it happened here.
The Sword Deity Six Paths’s sword Dao was too powerful, breaking all techniques with his sword strikes. No matter how many beams of five-colored divine light there were, the Sword Deity Six Paths’s holy sword cut through them like cutting cloth.
Kong Xuan previously stood among the strongest in the world. However, he only suffered injuries when facing the Sword Deity Six Paths.
Just when he got severely injured and the Sword Deity Six Paths was about to kill him, the Avian King suddenly appeared and swallowed him.
Initially, the Avian King could fight the Sword Deity Six Paths on an equal footing.
However, Kong Xuan’s resentment had awakened the ancient peacock deity in the Avian King Resentful Spirit. When the ancient peacock deity learned that the peacock race faced extinction, it did not hesitate to give Kong Xuan everything, passing on the ancient peacocks’ inheritance.
The ancient peacock deity vanished, and the Avian King Resentful Spirit weakened, resulting in the Sword Deity Six Paths killing it.
The ancient peacock deity had healed most of Kong Xuan’s injuries. More importantly, he had gained the ancient inheritance and become a super peacock deity, gaining the six-colored divine light. This six-colored divine light was even more powerful than the Avian King Resentful Spirit’s.
Previously, Kong Xuan had powerful energy but did not know how to use it. Now that he had the ancient inheritance, he instantly understood.
His energy did not increase, but the strength that this inheritance brought was not something measured in quantity of energy.
Kong Xuan showed an icy gaze. “Sword Deity Six Paths? It is my turn now!”
“Your turn? Humph! You are just a defeated enemy. You overestimate yourself!” The Sword Deity Six Paths’s eyes turned cold.
Shing!
A sword light rushed towards Kong Xuan.
Shing!
The sword light passed through Kong Xuan’s body, not touching him at all.
“Huh?” The Sword Deity Six Paths’s face sank.
A boundless azure light haloed Kong Xuan’s body. When the light appeared, it dyed the surroundings azure. Countless peacock plume feather images manifested in the azure light.
A vast world of peacock plume feathers suddenly materialized.
From just one, Kong Xuan’s figure suddenly multiplied into one hundred—into ten thousand Kong Xuans.
“What is this?” The Sword Deity Six Paths’s expression changed.
“This is my peacock race’s divine Dao domain!” Kong Xuan’s eyes turned icy.
Coo!
A peacock cry suddenly spread out, and a humongous peacock image appeared above the peacock plume feather world. That image looked down from above, radiating a heavenly might.
“Peacock deity?” The Sword Deity Six Paths’s face sank.
“That’s right. In my peacock plume feather domain, I am god! A mere eighth-layer Upper Heavenly Palace Realm like you wants to kill me? You are seeking death!” Kong Xuan snorted coldly.
The ten thousand Kong Xuans flung out their arms simultaneously.
Boom!
Each Kong Xuan shot a beam of six-colored divine light at the Sword Deity Six Paths.
Previously, the Sword Deity Six Paths could barely block one beam of six-colored divine light from the Avian King Resentful Spirit. Now, there were ten thousand beams of six-colored divine light. The Sword Deity Six Paths had a presentiment of destruction.
“This is not real!” The Sword Deity Six Paths’s expression changed as he swung his sword at a beam of six-colored divine light.
Boom!
A loud report rang out, and space trembled. That beam of six-colored divine light was real.
“Bastard! How can this be?!” The Sword Deity Six Paths turned around and fled in horror.
Whoosh!
The Sword Deity Six Paths moved away from his original spot in an instant, and the rest of the six-colored divine lights intersected in that spot.
Rumble…!
A black hole tore open in space. If the beams of six-colored divine light had not canceled each other out, that horrifying might would have reduced anyone who entered to ashes, no matter who it was.
Kong Xuan’s eyes lit up. He had just received the peacock race’s divine Dao inheritance and wanted to try it. Unexpectedly, it was so powerful.
“Hah! Hahaha! This is the power of the divine Dao. This is the true inheritance of my peacock race! How incredible! How powerful!” Kong Xuan said with wild joy in his wide eyes.
“I don’t believe you are all real!” The Sword Deity Six Paths felt incredibly anxious.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Sword Deity Six Paths’s speed was already at his limit, too fast for the physical eye to see.
Shing! Shing!
The Sword Deity Six Paths’s sword lights filled the entire peacock plume feather domain, each sword light cutting through various Kong Xuans.
However, the Sword Deity Six Paths failed to cut even one. It seemed like all of them were illusions; he could not touch them.
Untouchable? How do I fight?
“Your cultivation is not comparable to mine, and you want to fight me in my divine Dao domain? What a joke!” Kong Xuan sneered.
As Kong Xuan sneered, the figures withdrew and combined into one. Clearly, he found bullying the Sword Deity Six Paths with ten thousand of himself boring.
“Divine Dao domain? There must be weaknesses! There must be!” The Sword Deity Six Paths again swung his sword ferociously.
The Sword Deity Six Paths tried to use his holy sword, which had broken through all techniques previously, to chop down Kong Xuan, tearing through space as he did so.
“Weaknesses? There is nothing without weaknesses in the world. However, you have no way to reach the divine Dao domain. You are just the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s metal deity body—and only a replica at that. You want to know my weakness? I’ll tell you. I am god in my domain!” Kong Xuan’s eyes turned cold.
He ignored the approaching sword strike, and his figure flashed.
Whoosh!
Kong Xuan seemed to travel through time and space, moving from the distant sky to centimeters from the Sword Deity Six Paths in an instant. The Sword Deity Six Paths’s expression changed dramatically, and he called back his sword.
However, it was already too late. Kong Xuan extended his hand and placed it on the Sword Deity Six Paths’s chest. Colorful light suddenly appeared on his palm—the six-colored divine light—and stabbed into the Sword Deity Six Paths’s chest.
“No!” the Sword Deity Six Paths roared in despair.
Boom!
The six-colored divine light cut through the Sword Deity Six Paths, and his body exploded.
Although the Sword Deity Six Paths no longer controlled the returning holy sword, it continued flying towards Kong Xuan.
Whoosh!
The holy sword passed through Kong Xuan, strangely not touching him. It seemed like Kong Xuan stood in another time and space.
The holy sword flew away.
The Sword Deity Six Paths goggled at the uninjured Kong Xuan in incredulity. Now, only his head remained; his eyes darkened with despair.
“Divine Dao? Of lifespan, blessings, divine, cultural, and spiritual, it turns out the divine Dao is so powerful? The animal spirit deities in the world have taken the wrong path. No wonder the humans were weak in ancient times. Few humans could cultivate a seventh physical soul, but practically all the animal spirit primes had this seventh physical soul, the deity. The divine Dao? The divine Dao is the greatest!” Kong Xuan said in shock.
Boom!
Kong Xuan smashed the Sword Deity Six Paths’s head with one palm strike.
He picked up the Sword Deity Six Paths’s holy sword, and his expression changed greatly. I dealt with that incredibly powerful Sword Deity Six Paths so easily?
“It turns out the divine Dao from the ancient inheritance is so powerful!” Kong Xuan evinced intense joy.
He turned and put away the peacock plume feather domain and looked at the distant black foggy region.
“Unborn Man, I’ll help you!” In a flash, Kong Xuan arrived above that black foggy region.
The Unborn Man fought Lifespan Chunshen in the black fog. The two could hear the sounds from outside as they fought.
The two raised their heads nearly simultaneously and saw Kong Xuan standing in the air, holding the Sword Deity Six Paths’s holy sword.
“What? That’s impossible! You killed the Sword Deity Six Paths?” Lifespan Chunshen exclaimed.
Even the Unborn Man was shocked.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Lifespan Chunshen tore space, creating a large opening.
“Trying to run? Stand still!” The Unborn Man extended his hand to grab.
Rip!
The Unborn Man only caught the hem of Lifespan Chunshen’s clothes. Lifespan Chunshen escaped.
After Lifespan Chunshen escaped, the black fog withdrew, revealing the Unborn Man.
“Lifespan Chunshen escaped?” Kong Xuan asked.
The Unborn Man stared at Kong Xuan in shock. “You killed the Sword Deity Six Paths?”
“That’s right. What should we do now? Should we search for His Reverence or chase after Lifespan Chunshen?” Kong Xuan frowned.
“Lifespan Chunshen is a slippery eel. He must have fled; we can’t catch up.” The Unborn Man shook his head.
“Let’s go to the central corpse pit!” Kong Xuan said.
“Alright!” The Unborn Man nodded.
The two stepped forward and quickly shot towards the central corpse pit.
