“Oh no!”

Bu Fang’s face flickered. It never occurred to him that Soul would self-detonate to open up a gap. The six Great Soul Overlords had blown themselves up, and so was the Cursed Goddess. These were all beings who were very close to Soul God. Did he not feel any pain for their deaths?

Bu Fang’s face grew unsightly. He steadied himself, took a deep breath, and turned his gaze to the distance. There, Soul God had finally pulled his foot out of the cosmic barrier, like a fish that had jumped out of the pond and dived into the great ocean.

Rumble!

At this moment, the entire Primitive Universe began to tremble violently. Sect Leader Tongtian’s expression changed drastically, while the faces of the other almighty experts turned extremely unsightly. Did they fail to stop it after all?

…

On the wall, a mighty aura exploded out from the Daoist who held a horsetail whisk, enveloping the whole Hangu Pass and blocking the terrifying aura that kept falling from the sky.

Houtu, Sun Wukong, and many immortals and deities were staring at the distant sky with blank faces. There, the heavens and earth were shaking, and a dreadful dark cloud was spreading fast. Just the sight alone made their hearts race. It was as if a monstrous being had stepped into this world.

“The calamity has begun…”

Taishang Laojun’s face was gloomy as he sighed, flicked his horsetail whisk, and shook his head. They failed after all. They had sent all their almighty experts, yet they were unable to stop the great demon from the Soul Demon Universe. Their home would soon turn into a living hell.

“Prepare for the battle of life and death…”

Taishang Laojun’s voice echoed throughout heaven and earth. The faces of the immortals and deities on the walls flickered, then grew hard and resolute. In the end, they could not avoid this battle. Houtu looked sad, and Duchess Nightmare sighed.

“We’ve failed even with Bu Fang… Perhaps this is the inevitable trend of the cosmos…”

Duchess Nightmare shook her head. Why did the Great Path of the Primitive Universe turn a blind eye to what was happening? Was it really so ruthless? Everyone knew that the Great Path was ruthless, but if it stayed aloof when its people were facing death… What was the point of keeping this kind of Great Path, then?

…

Bu Fang’s face was unsightly. Soul’s self-destruction was not what he had expected because he did not think she would do that, or rather, he thought Soul God would stop her. But no. Nothing. Soul God just watched as she self-detonated.

In fact, the self-explosion of Soul and the six Great Soul Overlords was the result of Soul God’s instigation. Bu Fang knew that very well. Now that they had blown themselves up, Soul God would not be able to save them from the nothingness even after he broke free of the barrier.

One’s soul was wiped out after the self-explosion. Even if some almighty expert could reconstruct Soul, she would not be the same person again.

Bu Fang could feel Soul’s attachment to Soul God, but it had become the reason for her demise. He had no good feelings about her, but this kind of death still made him emotional.

Soul God was ruthless, and so was the Great Path of the Primitive Universe. Perhaps ruthlessness was a requirement for becoming a supreme being like them.

‘Only by being ruthless could one climb to the top?’ Bu fang frowned. He was a little confused. If the ultimate goal was to be ruthless, then it contradicted the path he chose. Could he really reach the top with this path, then?

ROAR!

Bu Fang did not have time to ponder further as Soul God had finally broken free!

Sloth burst out laughing. He exchanged a blow with Whitey. The impact shook the starry sky and caused the puppet to shiver. Taking the opportunity, the Great Soul Overlord sped away and came to Soul God’s side.

“My lord!” Sloth called out excitedly.

Soul God stood in the starry sky, his body as huge and tall as the star. He turned his empty face slightly to Sloth. In the distance, many Soul Demons cheered with excitement. Their God had finally descended, and under their attack, this world would soon turn into their paradise!

Soul God raised his hand. He was somewhat muddle-headed, or rather, his consciousness was somewhat blurred. Slowly, his body shrank and turned into the faceless man Bu Fang had met in Void City. However, he had his lower body this time. He had legs, though he was still faceless and single-armed. The only things he was missing now were his head, his right arm, and his heart.

Perhaps Soul God’s arrival had attracted the Great Path’s attention that its rumbling sound gradually dwindled. After all, his power was far beyond this realm.

Tongtian, Yuanshi Tianzun, and the others were relieved when the pressure brought by the Great Path was gone, but their hearts grew even heavier now, for Soul God had descended into this universe.

Suddenly, the Great Path turned into a purple dragon and rushed toward Soul God, slithering across the starry sky. It did not target him just now because he was only crossing the barrier between two universes, but now that he had come into the Primitive Universe, it was a different story.

Soul God looked up and lifted his single arm. The power of Great Sins exploded out. He was much stronger than when he was crossing the cosmic barrier.

Behind him, the seven hourglasses burst apart, and the barrier vanished. Even then, the power of the Great Sins exploded out of his arm and materialized into a black spear, colliding with the purple dragon that was actually the Great Path!

RUMBLE!

A power stronger than the Chaotic Energy surged and shook the starry sky. The faces of all the almighty experts fell, while Soul God looked up at the Great Path and sneered.
