Billions of lives were taken without mercy.
That was equal to instantly exterminating all the citizens of two or three imperial dynasties. He killed at a whim, not sparing anyone or showing any pity. He killed just for the sake of killing.
Essence Genesis was not benevolent, viewing all life as ants.
The Southern Sea fell silent. The various experts all over the Divine Continent inhaled sharply.
“Essence Genesis killed billions at a disagreement, not sparing anyone? How ruthless! What horrifying coldness! Does he not fear getting eradicated by the world for such a huge sin?” Jiang Gautama said with an unsightly expression.
Vairocana narrowed his eyes slightly. “Emotionless and inhumane, everything in the world can be killed. With Heavenly Access’s death, Essence Genesis no longer has any restraints.”
Ba looked coldly into the distance. She was also a ferocious and ruthless character, able to view all life as ants too. However, exterminating everything at a disagreement was beyond her.
Ji Dihong frowned. “The Essence Genesis Pennant? How ruthless of Essence Genesis! If not for the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s provocation, I wouldn’t even have known the Myriad Age Daoist Sect had such a ruthless person!”
Above the Southern Sea:
Essence Genesis killed billions of life forms with the flick of his finger and sent a chill through the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s heart.
She had not felt this way in a very long time. She recalled she feared running into such madmen when she was still weak, madmen who would kill one’s entire clan just for a disagreement. Furthermore, this madman was incredibly strong. This was the most terrifying thing.
“Alright, your accomplices are all dead,” Essence Genesis said with an icy smile.
It was more than just icy; even Gu Hai, Kong Xuan, and the others felt their hair stand on end.
Everyone heard an overwhelming murderous intent in that calm tone. No, it was more like a tone of speaking to a dead person.
“Essence Genesis, Sect Master Heavenly Access did die, but do you really think you can kill me?” Purple Jade Heavenly Demon said, ready to fight a powerful enemy.
“My third younger brother died a miserable death. I will not let you die that easily. You shall experience the despair he felt before he died. The earlier accomplices are all gone. What other accomplices do you have? I’ll give you a chance to call them. Call as many as you want. Go on. Call them.” Essence Genesis stared at the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon with a deadpan expression.
“Humph! You want to plunge me into despair? You are too naive. When this peak master wandered the world, you had not been born yet. Humph!” the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon said coldly.
After speaking, the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon waved her hand, and space trembled, generating a powerful suction that pulled on Essence Genesis.
“That is…an immortal firmament?” Gu Hai suddenly exclaimed.
Gu Hai was very familiar with such spatial fluctuations, as he could do them too. This was an immortal firmament.
“That is the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s immortal firmament. Sect Master mentioned it earlier. It’s a secret realm immortal firmament; the Unrestrained Heavenly Demon made it by copying an immortal firmament,” Sha whispered to Gu Hai.
“Oh? It is indeed an immortal firmament? The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon wants to pull Essence Genesis into the immortal firmament? This immortal firmament looked even more violent than mine, but it is quiet and lifeless, unlike the Gu’s Immortal Firmament, which abounds with life,” Gu Hai analyzed as he looked at the distant spatial fluctuations.
Gu Hai’s immortal firmament had formed its own system. Although its laws were not strong enough, the world formed a karmic cycle and had everything necessary. Life forms could flourish and grow there. Although this secret realm immortal firmament was stronger than the Gu’s Immortal Firmament, it lacked a system and was lifeless.
However, this lifeless immortal firmament made Gu Hai feel threatened, as if a huge beast were opening its maw to swallow him.
It looked like Essence Genesis would be swallowed up.
Anticipation flashed in the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s eyes. Once Essence Genesis entered the secret realm immortal firmament, she had many ways to deal with him.
“This is your insignificant trinket? It is only so-so.” Essence Genesis’s eyes turned cold.
He extended his right hand to the front. Three fingers manifested out of nowhere and pinched.
Bang!
A loud report rang out as space shuddered. The three manifested fingers grabbed hold of a transparent ball. This ball had been heading for Essence Genesis, but it now stopped, unable to move, caught by the three manifested fingers.
The secret realm immortal firmament’s suction stopped.
“What? What?! No! My secret realm immortal firmament! Rise!” the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon yelled in shock and fury.
“Trashy toy!” Impatience laced Essence Genesis’s tone.
The three manifested fingers squeezed.
Crack!
An earth-shattering report rang out as the transparent ball suddenly cracked into ten fragments and scattered in the air.
Blargh!
As the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s mind and consciousness were connected to the secret realm immortal firmament, she spewed a mouthful of blood with an expression of horror.
“He crushed the secret realm immortal firmament?” The distant Jiang Gautama’s pupils constricted in horror.
“Is there more?” Essence Genesis stepped forward as he gazed at the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon.
Fluster appeared in the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s eyes. She knew how incredible the secret realm immortal firmament was. If others used it on her, she could not handle it. However, Essence Genesis crushed it with just fingers?
The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon suddenly saw the shadow of Long Zhanguo in Essence Genesis. It was the same horrifying aura that made breathing difficult.
“Essence Genesis, I will avenge today’s humiliation in the future!” The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon turned around and shot into the distance.
The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon was indeed in the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. However, she was not stupid. She already understood she had fallen for Ji Dihong’s plot to use her to probe Essence Genesis. Essence Genesis was incredibly horrifying. Why would she want to continue fighting?
Hence, the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon turned and ran.
Essence Genesis did not give chase. Instead, he extended his hand and waved, grabbing the Essence Genesis Pennant. Then he put it away, making it vanish.
At this time, the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon, who had already fled to the horizon, suddenly returned. Furthermore, she was dragged back by the neck.
It was another Essence Genesis who dragged the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon back. When that Essence Genesis returned, his figure flashed, and the two Essence Genesises merged into one.
“Divine Dao domain? A domain clone?” the Mosquito Daoist said in shock.
“This method does not seem like a divine Dao domain.” Kong Xuan frowned.
Countless experts all over the world goggled.
“Essence Genesis’s clone? He subdued his opponent in one move, instantly grabbing the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s neck?” Jiang Gautama’s face sank.
Ji Dihong clenched his fist. “The Divine Continent’s cardinal south? Are we truly lacking a destiny with it?”
Divine Flame Hall’s entrance, Yan Heavenly Dynasty:
Ba looked at Essence Genesis, then at Ji Dihong, before slowly revealing a smirk.
“Your Holy Eminence, did something joyful happen?” Xingtian asked in confusion.
“We are laughing at Ji Dihong. He finally succeeded in his plot to kill Sect Master Heavenly Access after much difficulty, thinking the Divine Continent’s cardinal south position would become his. Unexpectedly, Essence Genesis appeared, and his dream of establishing the Huang Heavenly Dynasty in the Divine Continent’s cardinal south position burst like a bubble. Excellent! Excellent! Ji Dihong, just remain squatting like a beggar in the Divine Continent’s southwest corner!” Ba sneered.
Above the Southern Sea:
“You…you…how did you do this? Let me go! Let me go!” The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon struggled in terror.
Essence Genesis firmly held the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon, preventing her from escaping.
Aren’t we both in the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm? To think our strengths differ by this much?
“To think you ran? Hah! Given that, it means you are at the end of your road with no other backups?” Essence Genesis continued speaking in a calm tone.
Although the tone sounded calm, the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon shivered. This meant Essence Genesis would deal the final blow.
“Unrestrained Heavenly Demon, save me! My Lord, save me! Save me! Save me!” The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon revealed an extremely horrified expression as she struggled.
“Oh? You still have people to call for help from? Very well, I’ll give you some time,” Essence Genesis said coldly.
Even though Essence Genesis gave the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon time, he still sent a white energy into her body, and her neck transformed into a white jade material.
Then, the rest of her body slowly turned into jade, starting from the neck, hardening.
This petrification terrified the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon.
“Jiang Gautama, save me! Jiang Gautama! Ah! Save me!” the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon yelled in incredible horror.
She’s asking Jiang Gautama for help?
Ji Dihong, Ba, and Vairocana looked towards the Spirit Mountain Holy Land.
Even Essence Genesis turned his head to look at the Spirit Mountain Holy Land.
“Jiang Gautama? Hah! Gautama Heavenly Demon, right? Are you going to help her?” Essence Genesis asked indifferently.
In the Spirit Mountain Holy Land, Jiang Gautama held his palms together, showing a grave expression. However, he did not move.
The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon had been asking for it when she killed Sect Master Heavenly Access. Jiang Gautama wanted no part in it.
“Amitābha, I feel regret over Heavenly Access’s death as well. Sect Master Essence Genesis, my condolences!” Jiang Gautama said indifferently.
Jiang Gautama is not helping?
“Jiang Gautama, you will die a terrible death!” the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon roared.
However, Jiang Gautama remained expressionless, not wanting to interfere.
“Jiang Gautama is not helping you. Do you have other helpers?” Essence Genesis looked at the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon.
“My Lord, save me! My Lord!” Half of the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s body had already turned into white jade. A gut-wrenching pain came from where jade and flesh connected.
“Roar!”
Suddenly, a roar came from above the Southern Sea. An intense gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, howling loudly. Ferocious-beast-like winds manifested in the surrounding sky.
“My Lord, save me!” the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon called out joyfully.
“The Unrestrained Heavenly Demon? To think you only sent a wisp of your consciousness and did not come in person? Humph!” Essence Genesis snorted coldly.
Essence Genesis’s loud snort shook the entire Southern Sea’s space. Then all the ferocious-beast-shaped winds exploded and dissipated.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a clump of black fog appeared near Essence Genesis. That black fog churned and twisted, showing a vaguely human shape.
“The Myriad Age Daoist Sect? Hah! Unexpectedly, while the Myriad Age Daoist’s cultivation was only so-so, such a person appeared among his disciples? Essence Genesis, let go of Purple Jade,” the vague figure made of black fog said indifferently.
“The Unrestrained Heavenly Demon?” The faces of many experts around the world sank.
“My Lord! My Lord, save me! This servant was wrong! I no longer want to be independent! From today on, this servant will serve faithfully by Milord’s side! I will never think of leaving again! My Lord, save me!” the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon shouted with all her might.
“The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon is your concubine? Hah! Hahahaha!” Essence Genesis’s eyes took on an icy cast.
