“How terrifying…”

 

Inside the Divine Eternal Clan, located in a distant land outside the world, Li Motian and the other Divine Eternal Clan Elders were speechless with shock after witnessing the scene. Even the voice from within the forest of steles had fallen silent.

 

“I gave you a choice, and your choice will bring due consequences to your Clan.”

 

Outside the far reaches of the Wu Clan’s territory, Gu Changge’s tone remained unchanged as he calmly looked down upon the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor from above. His palm continued to descend, stretching outward endlessly.

 

The universe seemed to be propped in the middle of his palm, so it took but a moment for his hand to cover the entire territory belonging to the Wu Clan.

 

The phenomenon was absolutely petrifying. Not only did cracks appear throughout the land, but the previous barriers also collapsed and shattered to pieces in an instant.

 

The Wu Clan’s territory, comprising countless universes and worlds, steadily fell apart under the pressure. As the hand descended, mountains and rivers were destroyed. The ground cracked and exploded whilst various buildings were crushed to dust.

 

The innumerable members of the Wu Clan were utterly horrified and frightened by the situation. They were too scared to move despite facing the threat of annihilation.

 

Meanwhile, some of the Dao Realm Elders shouted angrily and rushed forward to counter Gu Changge’s strike. It was a pity their efforts were in vain, and they disintegrated in mid-air.

 

Countless Forces were so shocked and horrified by the sight that they became speechless.

 

Even the Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan could not help feeling frightened. If Gu Changge had been determined to destroy them back then, just as he was today, could they have repelled him? They would probably be as helpless as the Wu Clan.

 

The Wu Clan Founding Ancestor was furious. He had not expected Gu Changge to be so forceful and determined to obliterate his homeland and erase the Wu Clan from existence. Although he did not have much feeling for the descendants of the Wu Clan, they were members of his Clan after all. Furthermore, he had to rely on them to accumulate and collect his future cultivation resources.

 

“Summon sword!”

 

Following a deep roar, his True Body suddenly split open. A brilliant and incomparable light shot forward and rose into the sky, illuminating the entire world. It turned out to be a rather short ancient bronze sword stained with blood. In addition, there were spots where the blade was broken and cracked.

 

At this moment, the sword resonated with a deep metallic sound as though it had been resurrected. The Sword Qi that swept throughout the world was dazzling and crystalline, blooming with the nine colours of the auspicious clouds. Many ancient universes shuddered violently and the void rumbled loudly, reflecting the fearsome power of the bloodstained ancient bronze sword.

 

The scene frightened even the Major Forces as countless cultivators shivered in fear.

 

The sword was not a weapon that belonged to the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor but a monstrous weapon given to him by the Primary Hope Civilisation. It once belonged to an Ancestral Dao Realm expert. However, the sword was chipped during a dreadful battle and remained broken until now. It was said that the bloodstains on the sword belonged to the enemies of the Ancestral Dao Realm expert.

 

This horrifying weapon was the reason why the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor had the opportunity to reach where he stood today. Naturally, the consequence was that his Dao Fruit became corroded and infected to the point where it was now extremely mottled and impure. Be that as it may, he did not care about such matters as long as he could reach the Ancestral Dao Realm in the future.

 

He activated the ancient sword that he had spent countless years refining to cut down the hand that Gu Changge was stretching towards him.

 

The scene was simply too horrendous to describe. The sword beams were incomparably dazzling, shooting out from the depths of the Wu Clan and penetrating the starry sky of the universe to cross the spacetime of the world.

 

The worlds threatened to collapse and explode in the aftermath. At the same time, numerous Fragments of Time emerged from the impact of the attack and transformed into Sword Qi that roared toward the descending palm.

 

*Clang!*

 

An indescribable and deafening sound rang out as though countless weapons had collided with one another. The Great Dao Principles spread outwards like ripples on the surface of water, and even Spacetime was reduced by a layer.

 

Gu Changge’s descending palm collided with innumerable sword beams, and the sword beams swiftly disintegrated. In the eyes of the cultivators, it seemed as though the large hand trembled slightly for a moment. Afterwards, the sword beams were instantaneously extinguished.

 

The Wu Clan Founding Ancestor was filled with disbelief. His ancient bronze sword had been repelled with a violent shudder. Then, he noticed that numerous cracks had not only appeared where the sword was originally broken but were also rapidly spreading across the blade.

 

“Impossible… This is the weapon of an Ancestral Dao Realm expert! Even in battles against opponents of the same level, it had never shattered to pieces! Only a small corner had been chipped off in the fight.”

 

He could not believe what had happened. This was too much for him to bear, yet the impossible had occurred right before his eyes.

 

“It’s just a weapon. Even if the original owner had appeared, I could destroy him with a snap of my fingers.”

 

Gu Changge’s tone did not change. When his palm descended completely, the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor exploded with a painful groan. Even the weapon shattered and fell apart.

 

The whole world fell silent at this moment. The existences who witnessed the scene with their own eyes were equally horrified. They felt as though they were experiencing the pain themselves.

 

Despite the severe injuries, the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor did not die. His enormous True Body quickly shrank in size as he simultaneously attempted to condense it into the size of a Human.

 

He had grown frightened at this point. Unfortunately, the overwhelming size of his True Body would make escape very difficult. It would be much easier to escape if he were smaller.

 

Gu Changge simply watched quietly without interfering even though he knew what the other party was planning.

 

The weapon might have been refined by the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor for countless years, but that did not mean the sword ultimately belonged to him. There was another person’s mark inside the sword, and the hidden mark had long become entangled with the sword’s Source.

 

*Hum!*

 

At this moment, a nine-coloured light suddenly burst out from the cracked weapon. A majestic eight-headed figure emerged from the light. Every head had a different appearance. Some resembled Dragons, and some resembled Phoenixes. Some had opened eyes, and some had closed eyes. Some looked furious, and some looked annoyed.

 

“Please save me, Sir! This is the person who brought chaos to the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. He instigated the rebellion of the Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan, which caused the Immortal Spirit Civilisation to fall into turmoil. Please take action to resolve these issues, Sir!”

 

The Wu Clan Founding Ancestor, who was initially overwhelmed by fear, immediately shouted in desperation as soon as the eight-headed deity’s figure came into view. His reaction seemed as though he had suddenly found his life saviour.

 

It turned out that the Eight-Headed True God was the one who had bestowed the weapon to him in exchange for his loyalty. Many epochs had passed since then. Although he had never come into direct contact with the other party before, he knew about the Eight-Headed True God’s strength.

 

The Eight-Headed True God controlled a vast territory in the Primary Hope Civilisation. There were many strong subordinates serving under him, and most of them were genuine Ancestral Dao Realm experts. In addition, the Force in which he resided in stood at the top of the Primary Hope Civilisation. The number of experts inside that were stronger than Ancestral Dao Realm experts was not small either.

 

“That’s the Eight-Headed True God. It’s true that he came to the Immortal Spirit Civilisation in the past. The experts of my Clan regularly deliver tribute to him every other epoch, and the people under him are responsible for receiving the offerings.” Seeing the figure, Zhuo Fengxie quickly explained in a low whisper. It was obvious that he recognised the figure before him.

 

“Oh, it’s just a Dharma Body. Even if his True Body were here, he wouldn’t be much either.” Gu Changge simply smiled faintly when he heard those words.

 

At this moment, the various Forces of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation were frozen in shock. Nobody could have imagined that the Primary Hope Civilisation’s envoy would appear in such a manner.

 

However, the figure was not the True Body of the Eight-Headed True God. It could only be regarded as a Dharma Body that had been left inside the sword. Even so, he was a being from the Primary Hope Civilisation. His strength and power were far beyond the level that the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor could ever hope to achieve.

 

No matter how formidable and unfathomable Gu Changge’s strength was, it should be impossible for him to compete with a being from a Supreme Civilisation.

 

“Who are you? Why did you challenge the Primary Hope Civilisation?” The Eight-Headed True God’s Dharma Body stood proudly in the middle of the Heavenly Universe. The eyes on one of his Humanoid faces opened and looked at Gu Changge. Then, a slightly ancient voice resounded throughout the world.

 

The Forces could clearly tell that the envoy from the Primary Hope Civilisation was very solemn and cautious towards Gu Changge. He did not dare to underestimate his opponent in any way. That was why he used the word ‘Why’ and not ‘How dare you’ to question Gu Changge.

 

At the same time, he also mentioned the Primary Hope Civilisation in hopes of frightening Gu Changge.

 

His behaviour was a normal reaction in the face of great terror and absolute strength.

 

“Oh? Challenge?” Gu Changge casually glanced at the Eight-Headed True God. A faint smile played at the corners of his mouth, and he leisurely answered the question. “I am simply retrieving what I should retrieve. How is that a provocation?”

 

“Please seek justice for my Clan and the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, Sir. This person has destroyed my homeland and buried countless of my Clansmen in its ashes. He also created rivers of blood and mountains of corpses everywhere in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation…” The Wu Clan Founding Ancestor pleaded in his Humanoid Form.

 

His surroundings were shrouded in dense fog. Sliding over to the Eight-Headed True God, he accused Gu Changge of various actions and crimes in rage and sorrow.

 

“Retrieving what should be retrieved?” However, the Eight-Headed True God paid no attention to the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor. His expression became solemn and cautious.

 

Looking directly at Gu Changge, he said, “The Immortal Spirit Civilisation has been subordinated to the Primary Hope Civilisation since ancient times. It is only thanks to the protection of the Primary Hope Civilisation that the Immortal Spirit Civilisation managed to avoid extinction during the last Great Purge in the previous epoch.”

 

“Prior to that, the Immortal Spirit Civilisation has always been an unowned Civilisation. It was not affiliated with any Force. When you say you want to retrieve what should be retrieved… What do you mean? Could it be that this land belonged to you before the Immortal Spirit Civilisation was even born…”

 

Upon hearing those words, the shock of the various Forces grew even greater. The Primary Hope Civilisation’s envoy had always been arrogant and stoic, so it was rare for him to be as talkative as today. Nevertheless, his tone clearly indicated that he was angered.

 

Before the Immortal Spirit Civilisation surrendered and submitted to the Primary Hope Civilisation, it had always remained as an ‘unowned’ Civilisation. It had not been subordinated to any Force.

 

“No, I believe you have misunderstood my meaning.” Gu Changge interrupted the Eight-Headed True God with a smile. “What I want to retrieve is not just the Immortal Spirit Civilisation.”

 

“What do you mean by that?” When the Eight-Headed True God heard those words, a feeling of strong unease immediately bloomed in his heart. Thus, he questioned in a deep voice. At the same time, his other seven pairs of eyes opened. The brilliance in his eyes was absolutely dazzling, almost as though they could wash away eternity.

 

However, Gu Changge simply smiled without explaining. Raising his hand once more, he slammed it down for the second time.

 

A majestic and crystalline hand immediately appeared, seemingly far more terrifying and powerful than before. The entire Immortal Spirit Civilisation shook from the pressure. Even the Spacetime of the universes trembled in response.

 

The expression of the Eight-Headed True God changed drastically. Filled with horror, he desperately unleashed everything in his power to defend himself.

 

*Boom!*

 

The entire area seemed to explode. Boundless energy poured out, causing both spacetime and the void to become distorted. Even the River of Time that emerged was evaporated in an instant.

 

The Eight-Headed True God’s Dharma Body, which filled the whole universe, could not do anything against the incoming blow. He was instantly knocked down by the descending palm. His body was torn to pieces and reduced to dust, completely destroyed as a result.
