The terrifying palm slammed through the sky, causing the world to tremble in response. At the same time, an overwhelming burst of energy gushed forth and exploded.

 

Even if the Eight-Headed True God had only manifested as his Dharma Body and did not arrive in his True Body, the fact that he was powerful did not change. Not to mention, he also served as a representative of the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

Be that as it may, he was smashed to pieces by a single strike from Gu Changge before he could even make a sound. His Dharma Body had instantly turned into powder, scattering across the skies, disappearing into nothingness.

 

The Founding Ancestor of the Wu Clan, who had been complaining to the Eight-Headed True God and accusing Gu Changge of various crimes, froze in shock. He could not believe his eyes.

 

Those in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, who similarly witnessed the scene with their own eyes, also trembled in fear and horror. They were so shocked by the sight that they became speechless.

 

For a moment, a blanket of silence fell over the entire world.

 

Even Zhuo Fengxie and Hun Yuanjun, who were relatively more mentally prepared, did not expect Gu Changge to be so decisive and forceful as to destroy the Eight-Headed True God’s Dharma Body without hesitation.

 

Meanwhile, the members of the Wu Clan were filled with extreme terror and panic. They initially believed that the appearance of the envoy would turn the situation around. Who could have imagined that, in the short span of several verbal exchanges, the envoy’s Dharma Body would be obliterated by Gu Changge with complete disregard towards his opponent’s identity?

 

“You killed the Dharma Body of an envoy from the Primary Hope Civilisation…”

 

When the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor recovered from his shock and disbelief, he involuntarily shuddered in fear. Even the Primary Hope Civilisation was nothing to Gu Changge, let alone the Wu Clan.

 

As soon as the realisation struck him, he immediately became desperate to escape. His condensed Human Form swiftly tore apart Spacetime and fled with no regard for the survival of his Clansmen.

 

However, Gu Changge had already anticipated the Founding Ancestor’s reaction and flicked his sleeves. The sky seemed to overturn in response. Immeasurable power crashed down on the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor, causing him to spew blood, crumbling under the pressure.

 

At that point, it was difficult for him to maintain his Human Form. His strength was greatly reduced after he lost the gifted Artifact. The abundant aura of Chaotic Source Matter was constantly gushing from his body like a deflating balloon.

 

Spacetime in the area shuddered violently as a result. Nevertheless, he was unwilling to admit defeat. He hastily transformed into a cloud filled with an aura of decay and attempted to escape.

 

It was just that Gu Changge had no plans to allow him to escape.

 

Gu Changge lowered his gaze. At that moment, it felt as though millions of blades were slashing downward. Even the sky threatened to shatter to pieces.

 

The Wu Clan Founding Ancestor was different from Zhuo Fengxie and Hun Yuanjun. His life was intertwined with the Artifact. Besides, it was only by relying on the Source Matter contained within the blood staining the Artifact that he reached where he stood today. For these reasons, his Life Force had been swiftly diminishing ever since the Artifact had shattered. Even his Dao Fruit had collapsed, and he was on the verge of falling apart.

 

*Boom!*

 

Boundless blood mist eventually exploded, and the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor perished with a scream of agony. At the same time, countless universes nearby were crushed by the impact and reduced to dust.

 

Zhuo Fengxie and Hun Yuanjun watched the scene with slightly complicated expressions and shook their heads sadly. An ancient monster, who had existed since before they became famous, only had himself to blame for falling to such dire straits. Nonetheless, they quickly came back to their senses. Had they been in the shoes of the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor instead, could they have resisted the temptation of reaching the Ancestral Dao Realm?

 

Across the worlds and universes, the various Forces went silent. The incident outside the Wu Clan had both shocked and horrified them. As strong as Wu Clan Founding Ancestor was, even he could not escape the fate of annihilation by Gu Changge’s hands.

 

The incident today had shaken the entire Immortal Spirit Civilisation. Most Forces had initially assumed that Gu Changge was simply relying on his amazing background to subjugate the Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan. Who could have known that his true strength would be so unfathomable and terrifying?

 

From the perspective of the Ancestors of the various Forces, Gu Changge was at least on the level of an Ancestral Dao Realm expert. No such existence had ever appeared since the birth of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation.

 

Even the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor, who just perished moments earlier, had been one step away from reaching the Ancestral Dao Realm. While they had the feeling that his true strength was relatively inferior compared to those who were truly in that realm, it was still easy for him to slaughter them. In fact, if the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor so wished, slaughtering them all would require no effort on his part. Just a mere desire for their death was enough.

 

Now that the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor, who was the Wu Clan’s last hope, had perished, tragedy swept across the depths of their territory.

 

Most of the territory under the Wu Clan had been destroyed, covered in blood and flames.

 

On the other hand, the Elders looked sad and unwilling. Nobody could have imagined that Gu Changge would be so strong. If he had shown his true strength from the beginning, the Wu Clan would not have made such a choice in the first place.

 

Unfortunately, there was no Pill they could take for regret.

 

Most of the Wu Clan Elders no longer had any other alternatives. Their only options were either to choose to surrender or choose to share the same fate as their Clansmen and their Founding Ancestor.

 

Gu Changge had given them the opportunity from the beginning, but they had failed to grasp the opportunity. Now that the outcome of the battle had been decided, there would be no unexpected changes from this point onwards.

 

The various Forces that witnessed the incident today were forced to reconsider the choice given to them by Gu Changge previously. With half a month left, it was impossible for them to hold out until the experts of the Primary Hope Civilisation arrived. If they persisted in their resistance and opposition towards Gu Changge, then the fate of the Wu Clan would be their future.

 

After Gu Changge slaughtered the Wu Clan Founding Ancestor, he immediately left the area without another word. Everything else that came afterwards was left to Zhuo Fengxie and Hun Yuanjun to resolve.

 

Even after Gu Changge’s departure, the various Forces present remained silent.

 

There seemed to be large mountains pressing down on their chests, leaving them unable to breathe under the pressure. In any case, the commotion and aftermath caused by the incident today showed no signs of stopping or subsiding.

 

The whole Immortal Spirit Civilisation was frozen in shock.

 

Even the powerful and ancient Wu Clan had nearly suffered complete annihilation. Unlike the Gou Clan, which was given the opportunity to survive, the Wu Clan was dissolved on the spot. As a result, countless Clansmen and Elders either perished or surrendered and became enslaved for eternity.

 

The Forces in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation shuddered in fear.

 

Some Forces, like the Divine Eternal Clan, which generally remained uninvolved and refused contact with the outside world were now filled with fear. That was because they had received the message that came from Breeze Ancient City, stating that they had to make a decision within half a month.

 

At present, there were only two choices before them. They could either make the same choice as the Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan to surrender and serve Gu Changge or join hands to combine the strength of the remaining Forces in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation and rebel together.

 

As things stood, three out of the four strongest Clans in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, specifically the Zhuo Clan, the Hun Clan, and the Gou Clan, had already surrendered to Gu Changge. The vast majority of the surviving Clansmen from the Wu Clan were also bound to surrender once the Wu Clan’s situation was resolved. It was unlikely that they would choose to struggle to their death over the option of surrender.

 

In other words, the overall situation in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation was decided from today onwards. Even if the rest of the Forces were to join hands, it would be difficult for them to change anything.

 

Under the current situation and atmosphere, people from all over the Immortal Spirit Civilisation fervently discussed the shocking incident from the other day. Countless naturally speculated about Gu Changge’s actual origins. At the same time, they also wondered about the meaning behind the words he declared to the Primary Hope Civilisation’s envoy the other day.

 

It was just that these speculations could only remain as mere guessed. Zhuo Fengxie and Hun Yuanjun were just as clueless about Gu Changge’s origins or past. Even the Spirit Empress and the White Bone Ancestor King, who had always been beside Gu Changge during this period, knew nothing about it either.

 

…

 

“My connection with the Dharma Body that I left behind in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation has vanished. It seems to have been killed. What a surprise…”

 

At the same time, several terrifying figures stood proudly in a magnificent Spacetime passage leading to the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. Some of them were surrounded by Fragments of Times or shrouded in Chaos Immortal Mist. Moreover, there were both men and women amongst these hazy figures dressed in full armour. They were all armed to the teeth as well.

 

Be that as it may, the leader was none other than the Eight-Headed True God riding a ferocious ancient beast. He was also wearing armour and wielding a Heavenly Sword, which gave him an intimidating aura.

 

The eyes on his Human face blinked constantly. Countless terrible anomalies flashed through his eyes, including the reversal of the galaxy as well as its collapse.

 

At this moment, he stopped in his tracks with a frown on his face. The connection between him and the Dharma Body that he left behind in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation had been severed. That could only mean that his Dharma Body had been obliterated by somebody.

 

Not to mention, that person had completely severed the connection with him during the final moments so that he could not perceive the situation on the other side. That was why he did not know what had happened on the other side or why his Dharma Body was killed.

 

“Who is so daring as to not only challenge the Primary Hope Civilisation but also destroy the Dharma Body that I have left behind? Seems like they don’t think much of me.”

 

The expression of the Eight-Headed True God changed drastically, looking hideous but slightly cautious at the same time. Only a dozen days had passed since he obtained the information from the Wu Clan, summoned his former subordinates and comrades, and departed from the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

Be that as it may, the Dharma Body that he left behind had been killed during this short period. Such forceful methods could be said to show no regard of him at all.

 

“What? Even your Dharma Body was killed? This matter is becoming more and more interesting…”

 

“I thought it was just a reckless guy challenging our authority. But the way you describe him makes him sound like a fearless madman instead.”

 

“Oh? If that’s the case, could the culprit be a Lunatic? When a Lunatic was causing trouble in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Suffering King, we worked together to suppress him with our own hands. How many epochs have passed since that incident? I can’t quite remember anymore, but it sure is nostalgic.”

 

After hearing the Eight-Headed True God’s words, the companions behind him were equally as shocked. Nevertheless, they soon burst into unconcealed laughter. Their tone was filled with contempt and disdain. Some of them even joked around with a sense of nostalgia and ridicule.

 

Coming from their mouths, the ‘Lunatic’ whose very name caused fear in the Ancient Civilisations became targets of ridicule and suppression instead. Their tone of voice seemed to indicate that they were merely facing a prey to hunt.

 

Listening to the conversation between his companions, the Eight-Headed True God shook his head. Various thoughts flashed through his eyes. Then, he spoke gravely. “The Celestial Suffering King had taught us that we should thoroughly consider everything before we take action. Based on the information relayed by the Wu Clan, this person does not seem to be a Lunatic. He did not take action immediately after arriving at the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. On the contrary, it might be better to say he came with a certain purpose in mind…”

 

At this point, he hesitated for a moment.

 

The other party had blatantly slaughtered his Dharma Body even though it was known that he came from the Primary Hope Civilisation. Just from this point alone, it would be better to describe the other party as fearless and confident rather than reckless. After all, such behaviour was no longer as simple as just challenging the Primary Hope Civilisation. It was already a sign that the other party not only held contempt for the Primary Hope Civilisation but also the intention to make an enemy of the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

Furthermore, the other party had effortlessly slaughtered his Dharma Body. Even if he rushed there now, there was nothing he could do anymore.

 

Just as the Eight-Headed True God was hesitating over whether he should continue towards the Immortal Spirit Civilisation to see the culprit with his own eyes, a peaceful male voice suddenly sounded in his ears. “Eight-Head, come back.”
