The Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s blessings cloud sea suddenly crumbled, and countless Myriad Age Daoist Sect disciples showed expressions of despair.
The blessings crumbling meant the sect master had fallen.
Countless disciples instantly knelt. “The sect master died? No!”
Creak!
The Essence Genesis Hall’s doors opened.
The grieving disciples, on their knees, suddenly raised their heads and looked towards the Essence Genesis Hall. Almost no one had ever seen those doors open before, but they were open now.
Boom!
Surging dark clouds appeared out of nowhere, shrouding the Myriad Age Daoist Sect. The surrounding world suddenly turned pitch-black.
Dark clouds?
All the disciples shivered, sensing a destructive aura from these thick, surging, dark clouds, as if overwhelming rage had formed them.
Everyone shivered, horrified by the suppressive dark clouds.
This was destruction, the aura of destruction. It felt as if the master of this anger could destroy them with a thought. Everyone showed horror amid their grief.
Where did the dark clouds come from? The entire land is dark.
Crack!
A bolt of lightning flashed in the dark clouds, the electrical light illuminating the world. That light allowed everyone to see a white-robed, middle-aged man at the Essence Genesis Hall’s doors.
“Second Sect Master?” The eyes of all the disciples who had seen Essence Genesis before lit up.
“Second Sect Master came out of closed-door cultivation?”
“Second Sect Master finally came out!”
Some felt excited, some felt horrified.
Thunder rolled continuously in the sky. Millions of lightning dragons gathered in the dark clouds, poised to descend at any moment to destroy everything.
The flashes of electrical light revealed a cold expression on Essence Genesis’s face. His eyes gave off an overwhelming glint of destruction.
“Who dares to touch my third younger brother?! Who dares?!” Essence Genesis raised his head and looked at the lightning in the dark clouds.
As Essence Genesis looked at the dark clouds, the lightning coalesced in the center, as though under his command.
Boom!
When all the lightning crashed into each other, the sound reverberated across the entire south of the Divine Continent.
The masters of all the sects and dynasties in the Divine Continent’s south shivered.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
The golden blessings dragons of the various dynasties roared in horror. The many sovereigns’ expressions changed as they interrupted the morning assembly to investigate.
When the millions of lightning bolts crashed into each other in the dark clouds above the Essence Genesis Hall, they suddenly turned into a purple eye—a fifty-thousand-kilometer-wide purple eye.
When the purple eye appeared, all the Myriad Age Daoist Sect disciples fell flat to the ground. They felt like something had seized their hearts, flooding their entire body with immense dread.
“Heaven’s eye? This is that aura. This…this…,” a disciple stammered in horror.
The purple eye hovered above the sea of dark clouds. Suddenly, it shone with purple light as it looked at the entire Divine Continent, covering three hundred sixty degrees.
The purple eye’s gaze continuously swept through the world from the Myriad Age Daoist Sect. Some ordinary cultivators could not feel it, but the powerful experts shivered and froze in place.
Divine Flame Hall, Great Desolation City, Yan Heavenly Dynasty:
Ba held a morning assembly, and Xingtian was reporting something.
“Huh?” Ba’s eyes widened. Then she got off her throne and stalked out of the Divine Flame Hall.
Xingtian and the other officials were slightly surprised, but they still followed Ba out.
After walking out of the hall, Ba narrowed her eyes in the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s direction. Essence Genesis had caused too big a commotion when he used this powerful technique to search for Sect Master Heavenly Access. That purple eye had alerted Ba.
Ba narrowed her eyes at the distance. “Essence Genesis? He finally came out of closed-door cultivation?”
A grave look flashed in Ba’s eyes.
However, the purple light only briefly scanned the Yan Heavenly Dynasty before moving north. Soon, it reached Borderless Heavenly Capital.
“Huh?” The pupils of Vairocana, who was reading the scriptures, constricted.
Then, he walked out of his courtyard and stood on the Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza, looking into the distance.
“How excellent of this Essence Genesis! He is even more powerful than the one on our side. He is that much more powerful?” Vairocana said in shock.
Far away, the purple eye did not linger for long, soon shifting its focus to the west.
Hall of Great Strength, Spirit Mountain Holy Land:
Jiang Gautama stared at the Southern Sea as the Past Buddha stood beside him.
“The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon rejected my advice and colluded with Ji Dihong to kill Sect Master Heavenly Access. Hah…” Jiang Gautama frowned.
“Lord Buddha, what is there to worry about? Even Sect Master Supreme Ascendant was so-so. He taught Essence Genesis and Sect Master Heavenly Access. Even if Essence Genesis were strong, it would be limited,” the Past Buddha laughed.
“I hope so.” Jiang Gautama looked into the distance.
“Huh? Gu Hai? To think he appeared on Purple Bamboo Island? He is fighting the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon?” Jiang Gautama said in surprise.
The Past Buddha’s eyes lit up. “Gu Hai went to Purple Bamboo Island? Lord Buddha, this is a heaven-sent opportunity! It is time to destroy him!”
“Wait first. The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon is fighting him. Let’s see what else Gu Hai is hiding. Oh? Sect Master Heavenly Access’s Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array specializes in dealing with the divine Dao domain? Gu Hai’s eyes…one black and one white…I remember the Six Paths Veritable Lord knew this, too, and called them the Eyes of Life and Death or something. This Gu Hai has indeed hidden a lot,” Jiang Gautama said gravely.
“Oh? Gu Hai defeated Sect Master Heavenly Access again?” the Past Buddha said in shock.
“Sect Master Heavenly Access is going to die. Even the protection he gained from Heaven because of his past contributions is useless. What? The Divinity Destroying Heavenly Eye? The Divinity Destroying Light? To think Gu Hai hid so deeply! How did he learn Jiangchen’s technique?” Jiang Gautama’s expression changed.
“The Divinity Destroying Light?” the Past Buddha echoed, stupefied.
Why does Gu Hai know the Divinity Destroying Light? Is it real? Has Gu Hai been holding back? Had Gu Hai used the Divinity Destroying Light on me back then, I would have been dead long ago! The Past Buddha trembled.
“Good thing I observed first. Humph!” Jiang Gautama snorted coldly.
“Lord Buddha, what should we do about that Divinity Destroying Heavenly Eye?”
“Hah! It does not matter. Gu Hai’s Divinity Destroying Heavenly Eye is different from Jiangchen’s. Judging from how he paused, I suspect he cannot execute it casually. I just need to find an opening, and he will die for sure. Furthermore, his growth is too horrifying. I need to destroy him now.” Jiang Gautama’s expression turned stony.
“Lord Buddha is going now?”
“That’s right. I worry that Gu Hai might trick the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon. Humph! If I go, he will die for sure!” Jiang Gautama glared.
Boom!
Just as Jiang Gautama was about to go over, he heard a loud sound coming from the south.
Buzz!
A purple beam shot over, arriving before Jiang Gautama. He paused in shock.
When he looked in the direction of the purple light, he saw Essence Genesis standing in front of the Essence Genesis Hall in the Myriad Age Daoist Sect. There was a fifty-thousand-kilometer-wide purple eye above him, looking over with overwhelming hatred.
When Jiang Gautama saw this gigantic purple eye, his expression changed. “This is?”
The purple light passed in a flash, going somewhere else. However, Jiang Gautama inhaled sharply.
“Essence Genesis came out of closed-door cultivation? What strength! Purple Jade Heavenly Demon, you made the wrong choice!” Jiang Gautama’s expression changed.
“Lord Buddha, what are you saying?” the Past Buddha asked in shock.
“Inform the Unrestrained Heavenly Demon, say the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon is in danger. I’m now based in the land of the living, and it is not convenient for me to make a move,” Jiang Gautama said.
“Ah?” The Past Buddha felt slightly startled.
At the Huang Heavenly Dynasty’s assembly hall, Ji Dihong also paid attention to the Purple Bamboo Forest and the Myriad Age Daoist Sect.
When Sect Master Heavenly Access died, Ji Dihong immediately looked towards the Myriad Age Daoist Sect. Essence Genesis came out, and the purple eye above the dark clouds radiated a terrible fury as it scanned the world. That purple eye quickly focused its gaze on him.
“Huh?” Ji Dihong narrowed his eyes.
“How powerful of Essence Genesis!” Ji Dihong marveled.
Fortunately, I used the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon to probe the situation. This probe indeed brought out a surprising expert.
The gigantic purple eye looked at the Huang Heavenly Dynasty before quickly scanning the Southern Sea.
In just a while, the purple eye saw the Southern Sea’s Purple Bamboo Forest. Sect Master Heavenly Access’s eyes had already turned hollow. As he hovered in the air, he stopped breathing.
“Third Younger Brother!” Essence Genesis trembled in horror.
Bang!
A loud sound rang out as Essence Genesis suddenly vanished from the Essence Genesis Hall’s entrance.
Boom!
The gigantic purple eye in the sky exploded. The dark clouds formed because of the rage quickly scattered.
Whoosh!
The roiling dark clouds disappeared.
Still trembling, the countless Myriad Age Daoist Sect disciples slowly got to their feet.
The earlier horrifying aura lingered in the depths of their memories. The Myriad Age Daoist Sect disciples did not even dare to breathe deeply for a long time after that.
“That was…Essence Genesis?”
“Second Sect Master is so incredible. How horrifying! It felt like facing Heaven!”
“How terrifying!”
“Second Sect Master is going to avenge Sect Master’s death?”
After marveling for a while, everyone turned quiet. A somber atmosphere descended upon the Myriad Age Daoist Sect once more.
Outside Purple Bamboo Island, Southern Sea:
Before Sect Master Heavenly Access died, his final remnant consciousness reversed the Sword Dao Merger Technique, sending his sword conception to Sha.
Plundering from others and giving away were two different things. For one, the other party struggled. For the other, the other party passively received. This resulted in a massive difference in speed; the transfer was over in nearly an instant, too fast for the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon to react.
Boom!
A loud report rang out as Sect Master Heavenly Access and Sha parted. All of Sect Master Heavenly Access’s sword conception had poured into Sha’s forehead.
Buzz!
Countless sword qi erupted from Sha’s forehead. He goggled, making an incredulous face.
“What?” Sha exclaimed.
Whoosh!
Gu Hai immediately flew over and caught Sha.
“Sect Master, you don’t have to do this!” Sha exclaimed.
On the other side, the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon also goggled.
“Sect Master Heavenly Access? You are seeking death! To think you dare to give that boundless sword conception to Sha?” The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon went berserk, instantly radiating a murderous intent.
However, Sect Master Heavenly Access’s gaze was already hollow. His three spiritual souls had been destroyed, and his consciousness had faded. He was utterly dead.
“Died? He died? Humph! Even if you die, that sword Dao is mine! Since I cannot forge you, I’ll forge Sha!” the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon yelled with a malevolent expression.
“Since you don’t even have your sword conception left, don’t blame me for not leaving you with an intact corpse! No one has ever dared to play such tricks on me! Shatter!” the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon shouted, extending her hand towards Sect Master Heavenly Access’s corpse.
Buzz!
At the final moment, space strangely trembled. Then an asphyxiating pressure appeared in the surroundings.
When the pressure appeared, everything fell silent, as if everything in the world feared this pressure.
The wind stopped, and the roaring waves stilled. Everyone stopped as their hearts trembled in alarm. Even the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon paused her hand, her eyes widening in surprise.
A white-robed, middle-aged man suddenly appeared beside Sect Master Heavenly Access’s corpse. With a sorrowful expression, the man gently hugged Heavenly Access, whose arms dangled with pupils dilated and voice already gone.
“Third Younger Brother, Second Elder Brother is late!”
