“Third Younger Brother, Second Elder Brother is late!”
A sorrowful voice rang out, revealing the white-clad man’s identity.
This was the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s second sect master, who had never shown himself, Essence Genesis.
Sect Master Heavenly Access had already stopped breathing, his pupils dilated. His arms dangled at his sides. There was a swastika prominent on his forehead, and black energy emanated from his brain, hinting at a miserable death.
The Soul Destroying Seal had destroyed his three spiritual souls, bringing a thorough death; no signs of life remained.
Essence Genesis only needed one glance to know there was no saving his third younger brother. He was too late. No, he had known only after his third younger brother died.
As Essence Genesis held Sect Master Heavenly Access, the words in his dream echoed in his mind.
Second Brother, Junior Brother always used to go against you, arguing with you all the time. It was not that I did not like you; I just found you too cold, like an ice mountain. First Senior Brother said you would end up cultivating to an emotionless state. He wanted me to help you interact with others. Junior Brother is incapable and can only constantly agitate you, constantly argue with you, and constantly snatch from you.
Second Brother, I’m going to join First Senior Brother now. I will no longer argue or contend with you. I will no longer snatch from you.
Take care, Second Brother! Take care, Second Senior Brother! Take care, my second elder brother!
Take care, my second elder brother!
“Hahahaha! Third Brother, I did not cultivate this powerful technique just to benefit myself; I did so to protect you and First Senior Brother! First Senior Brother left, and you left too! You left too!” Essence Genesis suddenly guffawed bleakly.
As he guffawed, a tear came out of his right eye.
If Sect Master Heavenly Access were alive, he would find this incredibly strange. His second senior brother cultivated to an incredibly cold and distant state, never feeling sorrow, what more leak tears? According to his first senior brother, his second senior brother never cried, even when he was young.
Now, a teardrop came from Essence Genesis’s eye. That drop slid down his face and fell into the sea below.
Essence Genesis’s aura had calmed the sea long ago. When the tear plopped on the mirror-like sea, the seawater suddenly started freezing with the tear as the center.
Whoosh!
The seawater within a radius of four million kilometers froze into ice nearly instantaneously. Essence Genesis was not good at expressing his feelings, but when his feelings erupted in his heart, it was even more horrifying than a volcanic eruption.
There was sorrow, and underneath it was rage—overwhelming rage. This rage spread out from Essence Genesis. Roiling dark clouds instantly filled the sky for four million kilometers around and steadily thickened.
The heavenly-might-like dark clouds caused the faces of Gu Hai and the others to sink.
Across the world, Ba, Vairocana, Jiang Gautama, and Ji Dihong narrowed their eyes when they saw Essence Genesis’s overwhelming rage.
The rage soared into the sky, bringing destruction to the world.
The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s expression also changed.
Now, the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon had an awful premonition. Essence Genesis differed from her expectations. He was far from similar to Sect Master Heavenly Access.
No wonder Ji Dihong used me to probe the Myriad Age Daoist Sect. So…so, this is Essence Genesis?
The horrifying atmosphere was suffocating. Essence Genesis’s murderous intent even locked on everyone here.
If anyone made any strange movements, Essence Genesis would immediately kill them.
No one moved as they watched Essence Genesis gently tidy Sect Master Heavenly Access’s clothes. Then he took out a coffin and placed Sect Master Heavenly Access in it.
“Third Brother, you must be tired. Rest well. I’m here now. Second Elder Brother is here now. Sleep for a while. When you wake up, everything will be fine.” Essence Genesis revealed a benevolent smile as he looked at Sect Master Heavenly Access’s corpse in the coffin.
This smile was for a dead person, but everyone else had chills.
“Essence Genesis, it’s Gu Hai! Gu Hai has a grudge against Sect Master Heavenly Access. He colluded with Sha and worked from both within and outside to kill Sect Master Heavenly Access!” Purple Jade Heavenly Demon suddenly yelled.
“Purple Jade Heavenly Demon, you are shameless! It was clearly you who killed Sect Master Heavenly Access!” Kong Xuan roared while glaring.
“Second Sect Master, it’s the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon!” Sha called out weakly.
“That Sha even plundered Sect Master Heavenly Access’s sword conception! Look! That’s Sect Master Heavenly Access’s sword conception! Sha plundered it all!” Purple Jade Heavenly Demon called out again.
Essence Genesis ignored what everyone said. Instead, he looked at Sect Master Heavenly Access as he slowly closed the coffin lid.
Creak!
After closing the coffin lid, Essence Genesis extremely carefully put the coffin away.
Only then did Essence Genesis turn slowly to look at everyone. However, his gaze was like he looked at corpses.
“Sha plundered Sect Master Heavenly Access! You can check!” the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon yelled again.
Essence Genesis ignored her. Instead, he slowly waved his hand.
Buzz!
Space suddenly trembled, slowly manifesting a scene.
This scene showed the earlier battle, looking like a holographic projection displaying everything that had happened.
This sudden move caught the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon off-guard.
What’s this situation? What is this technique?
Far away, Ba’s expression turned serious. “The Final Radiance Technique? Restoring the scene of the past?”
In Borderless Heavenly Capital, Vairocana narrowed his eyes slightly. “Consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace? This Lord of Primordial Beginning too?”
Jiang Gautama’s face sank. “Oh no! The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon messed up. Have you informed the Unrestrained Heavenly Demon? Quickly! Hurry! Hurry!”
Ji Dihong stood at the entrance of the assembly hall and narrowed his eyes. “With this, no one can fool Essence Genesis. His technique can see the past? Purple Jade Heavenly Demon, help me test Essence Genesis’s strength.”
With Essence Genesis’s technique, everything returned to how it was before.
Sect Master Heavenly Access fought Gu Hai, but Gu Hai showed mercy. Gu Hai even used the Divinity Destroying Light the first time the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon tried to kill Sect Master Heavenly Access. The Divinity Destroying Light pierced the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s chest, saving Sect Master Heavenly Access once.
He saved Heavenly Access once?
In the scene, the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon tried to kill Sect Master Heavenly Access a second time, using the Soul Destroying Seal. Gu Hai tried to save him but could not keep up with the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon. Although he failed to save Sect Master Heavenly Access, he had put in his best effort.
Gu Hai immediately felt the murderous intent locking down on him vanish. It’s gone? Essence Genesis stopped targeting me with his murderous intent?
Essence Genesis also saw Sect Master Heavenly Access’s sword conception clearly. Sect Master Heavenly Access had given it to Sha before dying. Hence, Sha was also innocent, so Essence Genesis removed the murderous intent on Sha.
Essence Genesis also did not go after Kong Xuan and the others because of Gu Hai.
Essence Genesis clearly saw everything in the projection. There was no disputing it. It was the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon who repeatedly tried to kill Sect Master Heavenly Access.
Buzz!
The scene faded, and the projection vanished.
The truth had been revealed.
The murderer was the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon!
Essence Genesis slowly turned his head to look at the wary Purple Jade Heavenly Demon.
“Hah! Haha! My third younger brother was in despair when he died!” Essence Genesis laughed icily as he looked at the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon.
This laughter made the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s hair stand on end. There was no denying it now. For Essence Genesis to laugh now, the more he laughed, the more intense his murderous intent.
“Essence Genesis. Humph! I’m also in the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. Don’t think I fear you!” the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon snarled ferociously.
After speaking, the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon unleashed her aura. With her surging aura came the purple bamboo domain. Many purple bamboos manifested, ready to face a powerful enemy.
Essence Genesis did not rush to attack. Instead, he looked at the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon. “Although my third younger brother frequently bickered with me, he was still my third younger brother, my only family. How bold of you!”
As Essence Genesis spoke, his murderous intent filled the purple bamboo domain.
Rattle!
Countless purple bamboos shook.
The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s expression changed as she opened her mouth and spat out a clump of golden blessings.
The golden blessings soared into the sky, with a golden dragon swimming in them.
“Southern Sea’s Purple Bamboo Island, the eight thousand subordinate islands, the various aquatic animal spirits, and all citizens, listen to me! This island master needs your energy now! Quickly raise your right hand and lend me energy!” the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon called out.
“Roar!”
The golden blessings dragon roared and spread the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s voice to the entire Southern Sea.
Countless citizens in the Southern Sea’s eight thousand islands were shocked. Then they raised their right hands.
“Island Master, use my energy!”
“Island Master, I’ll lend you my energy!”
“Quickly, raise your right hand!”
Countless citizens and aquatic animal spirits immediately lend their energy. All the dragons in the Southern Sea Dragon Palace also raised their hands to lend their energy.
“Eight thousand islands in the Southern Sea! To think the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon has already amassed so much energy? This is at least double the number of citizens of the Yuan Imperial Dynasty, right? At least one hundred billion citizens? That many? This amount of energy will be vast,” Kong Xuan said in shock.
Surging energy rushed into the golden dragon in the blessings cloud sea from the eight thousand islands. The golden dragon roared, poised to charge the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon.
At this moment, Essence Genesis revealed a smirk. “These are all your accomplices? Great! There are accomplices!”
After Essence Genesis spoke, the dark clouds four million kilometers around suddenly churned, then withdrew and formed a large black pennant.
“The Essence Genesis Pennant? The fourteenth-ranked of the top sixteen ancient treasures?” The Mosquito Daoist narrowed his eyes.
There seemed to be billions of densely packed sword qi trembling within the Essence Genesis Pennant.
“The Essence Genesis Pennant?” The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s expression changed.
“Accomplices? All accomplices must die!” Essence Genesis’s eyes turned cold.
Essence Genesis extended his right hand and flicked a finger.
Boom!
The Essence Genesis Pennant suddenly shook, and billions of yellow sword qi rushed in all directions of the Southern Sea.
“What did you do?” The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon extended her hand to the sky.
Buzz!
Countless sword qi passed through the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s hand, not touching her. Then the sword qi became like heavy rain spreading all over the Southern Sea.
“Argh!”
“Don’t kill me!”
“Save me!”
Boom!
Countless miserable cries rang out. The golden blessings dragon taking in the citizens’ energy exploded like a balloon, releasing all the energy.
“Roar!”
The golden blessings dragon shrieked and scattered. The surging blessings dissipated.
A loud sound rang out in the Southern Sea, and everything returned to quiet.
Everyone gaped, appearing shocked and horrified.
Even Gu Hai could not help betraying a trace of horror.
There were eight thousand islands and billions of lifeforms on the islands and in the sea. When Essence Genesis attacked, he killed them all.
Essence Genesis spared no one.
Corpses filled the place everywhere one looked. He even killed everyone in the dragon palace.
Billions of lives were taken without mercy.
