“Hetu?” Gu Hai’s face sank.

Gu Hai had already steeled himself for a showdown with the Six Paths Immortal, so why was Hetu getting involved now?

Hetu did not want this, either. Why am I so unlucky? Now, I can’t escape; the Divinity Destroying Light has been unleashed and is about to destroy me.

In the distance, Gu Hai felt helpless. He was too far away to intervene.

Hetu was trapped by Heaven’s eye, unable to move as he watched the Divinity Destroying Light approach, seemingly sealing his fate.

However, at this critical moment, a figure in white robes suddenly appeared between the Divinity Destroying Light and Hetu.

It was Sha. With a cold look in his eyes, he raised his azure-edged sword, sending an azure-colored manifested sword skywards that formed a massive azure sword lotus, which collided with the Divinity Destroying Light.

Boom!

A deafening sound rang out as a vast area of space shattered. The impact sent shock waves throughout the Divine Continent. Countless experts felt a sudden disturbance and turned their attention to the south.

“Blo-blocked?” Lady Houtu exclaimed in astonishment from far away.

In the sky above the Myriad Age Daoist Sect, Hetu stared wide-eyed as Sha, his robes billowing in the fierce wind, continued to wield the azure-edged sword. However, the Divinity Destroying Light had disappeared.

The azure-edged sword had stopped the Divinity Destroying Light’s power.

In the distance, Lady Houtu gasped, and the Myriad Age Daoist Sect disciples were equally shocked.

The Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s second-in-command had actually managed to block Heaven’s eye and the Six Paths Immortal? Was it real?

“I’m…I’m not dead? I’m not dead?” Hetu’s face suddenly lit up with joy.

Heaven’s eye fixed its gaze on Sha, betraying a hint of surprise and a surge of murderous intent.

“An azure-edged sword of one meter stopped this Immortal’s Divinity Destroying Light?!” The Six Paths Immortal’s voice rang out, carrying far and wide.

One should know that even the likes of Heavenly Gautama could not stop this Divinity Destroying Light in the past. However, Sha had intercepted it now, revealing the immense strength of his sword Dao.

“Six Paths Immortal, this is the Myriad Age Daoist Sect. The sect master is Essence Genesis! Since Sect Master isn’t here, should you not wait for Sect Master’s return before displaying your Immortal’s might?” Sha said coldly.

“Hah! Are you lecturing this Immortal?” retorted the Six Paths Immortal, his voice chilly.

“Lecturing? I wouldn’t dare! It’s just that in the host’s absence, shouldn’t a guest understand basic courtesy?” Sha countered coldly.

“Host? Hahaha! This entire immortal firmament belongs to this Immortal. Wherever this Immortal is, he is the host. A mere sword cultivator who doesn’t know his place deserves to die!” The Six Paths Immortal’s eye widened, exuding a murderous intent.

When the murderous intent appeared, space trembled. A colossal fist, over three kilometers in size, suddenly materialized out of nowhere.

The fist descended with an unstoppable force.

As it smashed down, it seemed to carry an overwhelming might that shattered the space below. A wave of destruction headed straight for the Myriad Age Daoist Sect.

Crack!

The fist was still high in the sky, but the immense pressure already caused many cracks to appear in the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s grounds. Buildings collapsed, and the land exploded.

Blargh!

Blargh!

Blargh!

Various Myriad Age Daoist Sect disciples vomited blood, appearing shocked.

Hetu showed an expression of despair. “The Six Paths Immortal is really serious this time. This fist is the Fist of the World, over ten times stronger than the earlier Divinity Destroying Light. If this fist lands, I’m definitely done for. I don’t want to die! Why am I so unlucky? No!”

Rumble…!

The fist descended from the sky, unstoppable, devastating everything in its path.

Sha’s face turned grave, but he did not retreat. Instead, his eyes narrowed, and he raised his sword once more.

“Winds spanning fifteen thousand kilometers, one sword to break the heaven!” Sha glared.

The sword thrust forth, forming another massive sword lotus that collided with the Fist of the World.

Boom!

A deafening explosion thundered as space shattered anew, even more violently than before, shaking the Divine Continent.

The sword lotus exploded.

However, the Fist of the World did not descend. Instead, it clashed with Sha’s manifested sword, resulting in a tense standoff.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Sha’s manifested sword vibrated, on the verge of collapse.

Sha’s expression grew grim, but he did not back down. His eyes remained fierce as he continued to repel the Fist of the World.

“What an amazing display of strength by Sha! He actually blocked the Fist of the World!” Lady Houtu exclaimed in amazement.

Lady Houtu felt that if it were her, she would not have been able to stop the earlier Divinity Destroying Light, let alone a punch from the Fist of the World, which was ten times stronger.

Gu Hai’s expression darkened. “Sha is at his limits. I have to help him!”

“Help? What are you thinking? You’ll only enrage the Six Paths Immortal!” Lady Houtu exclaimed in alarm.

His face set with obdurate resolve, Gu Hai pushed off the ground, and his figure flashed as he rushed over.

“Don’t!” Lady Houtu called out.

Gu Hai had his reasons for going. Hetu’s unexpected appearance had allowed Long Wanyu to be overlooked, but it had put Sha in danger. Gu Hai felt indebted to Sha and believed he had to do something.

Now, Gu Hai’s body was exceptionally robust, and he should be able to hold out for a while. What was more important was that Gu Hai and the Six Paths Immortal were destined to face each other in battle sooner or later. Right now, this was just a strand of the Six Paths Immortal’s consciousness. Was he going to cower from just this?

Gu Hai rushed forward instantly.

Long Aotian, watching from afar, goggled.

“Gu Hai has gone mad! He wants to help? Is he seeking death?” Long Aotian exclaimed in astonishment.

Nevertheless, Gu Hai went anyway.

However, the moment Gu Hai arrived, the Fist of the World unleashed its might once more, shattering Sha’s manifested sword.

Boom!

The manifested sword shattered, and the Fist of the World descended with a tremendous force.

Sha’s face twisted with determination, but he did not flinch. He prepared to raise his sword again.

Just then, Sha suddenly felt a surge of aura. He glanced over and saw Gu Hai charging towards them. Gu Hai’s presence was like a helping hand, which warmed Sha’s heart.

Since it was Gu Hai, Sha felt reassured. He raised his sword without overthinking.

“Hah! Your sword is impressive, but can it withstand the power of the world? Shatter!” The Six Paths Immortal’s cold voice filled the world.

Carrying the power of the world, the Fist of the World was even more ferocious than before, and it was about to collide with Sha’s sword again as it descended towards the Myriad Age Daoist Sect.

However, a white figure suddenly appeared at that moment.

Whoosh!

The white figure swiftly blocked the path between Sha’s azure-edged sword and the Fist of the World, extending a hand upward.

A purple manifested palm enveloped the Fist of the World.

Boom!

A powerful collision ensued.

The manifested palm and the Fist of the World exploded.

Sha’s azure-edged manifested sword disintegrated amid his astonishment.

Gu Hai, who had just arrived, was a little late. Everything was already over.

Essence Genesis had returned.

Standing in the air, Essence Genesis gazed coldly at Heaven’s eye in the sky.

“Six Paths Veritable Lord, you’ve crossed the line!” Essence Genesis’s eyes were icy.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

Bloodshot lines suddenly appeared in Heaven’s eye as the Six Paths Immortal seethed with anger at Essence Genesis.

An intense cold as chilling as the apocalypse radiated from Essence Genesis and flowed towards Heaven’s eye.

In the flawed immortal firmament, Essence Genesis had already proven his strength, a strength that the Six Paths Immortal could not contend with.

At this moment, the Six Paths Immortal and Essence Genesis locked gazes; there was no one else in their eyes, just the two of them staring each other down.

Cold, vigilant, threatening, and filled with murderous intent, the two locked gazes, neither giving way.

However, the battle that had just raged had come to a halt.

Essence Genesis gazed coldly at the Six Paths Immortal, who refrained from further moves.

“Hah! Essence Genesis? Excellent! Excellent! Very excellent! I’ll remember you. Just wait. My true body will awaken in less than two years, so enjoy these last two years. Humph!” the Six Paths Immortal sneered.

“I’ll be waiting,” Essence Genesis replied coldly.

Rumble…!

Seething with anger, the Six Paths Immortal slowly closed his eye, and the roiling dark clouds around it dispersed.

With a clear sky for five thousand kilometers around, everything that happened earlier seemed like a distant dream. However, everyone understood that it was all too real. The Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s countless collapsed buildings bore witness to the truth.

Essence Genesis once again forced the Six Paths Immortal to retreat?

Leaders of various factions from all around swallowed nervously.

How powerful was Essence Genesis? It was easy to imagine.

Only four figures remained in the sky. Essence Genesis stood at the highest point, followed by Sha and Gu Hai, then Hetu below them.

At this moment, Hetu felt the pressure lift from its entire body. However, it dared not attempt to escape.

Essence Genesis indeed survived and returned. He even compelled the Six Paths Immortal to leave. There’s no escape for me. Fortunately, Essence Genesis returned. I don’t have to die anymore.

Essence Genesis first turned to Sha.

“You did well,” he said, giving Sha an indifferent nod.

Essence Genesis did not hold the Myriad Age Daoist Sect in high regard, but this place held the memories of his first senior brother and third junior brother. It had become like a home to him. He had never cared for or looked highly upon the others in the Myriad Age Daoist Sect. However, Sha’s performance today left him very satisfied.

While he could disregard the Myriad Age Daoist Sect, that did not mean others could trample it recklessly. Sha had protected the Myriad Age Daoist Sect, earning Essence Genesis’s acknowledgment.

Essence Genesis glanced at Gu Hai on the other side.

Gu Hai had not done anything, and Essence Genesis did not make much of it. After all, Gu Hai was an outsider in Essence Genesis’s eyes. With Essence Genesis’s cold and unfeeling nature, there was no reason to be grateful to Gu Hai.

While Essence Genesis ignored Gu Hai, Sha bowed slightly to him. “Gu Hai, many thanks.”

Sha understood that Gu Hai had risked a lot to come here, as it meant pitting himself against the Six Paths Immortal. Although he had done nothing, Sha appreciated the sentiment and accepted this favor.

“The Myriad Age Daoist Sect is unharmed. I’ll take my leave now.” Gu Hai nodded and promptly shot off towards Borderless Heavenly Capital.

Whoosh!

Meanwhile, Essence Genesis arrived before Hetu.

Hetu knew better than to be insolent in Essence Genesis’s presence and immediately took on human form.

“I, I just came out for some fresh air after seeing you leave. That’s all. Just some fresh air.” Hetu tried to appease Essence Genesis.

“Alright. Since you’ve had your fresh air, let’s go back,” Essence Genesis said with a nod, leading the way to Essence Genesis Hall.

Essence Genesis Hall remained intact, unscathed by the immense pressure earlier. Essence Genesis stepped inside.

On the other hand, Hetu suddenly shivered, remembering all the damage he had caused within. Despair washed over him.

“Hetu? What have you done?!” Essence Genesis’s angry voice resounded within Essence Genesis Hall.

Hearing that voice, Hetu felt as if his heart had been wrenched.

“Why am I so unlucky?”
