ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

The giant carried the combined strength of eight witches, six 10th level Divine Masters, and two 9th level Divine Masters. With Yun Wuji controlling it alongside them, it unleashed an incredible strength.

It was the improved formation Yun Wuji taught back then to the Twelve Guardian Families in the Illusory Demon Realm when they attacked the Four Sacred Grounds. It had a greater effect, but unfortunately, it was harder to master, so other than the witches who shared a special connection between themselves and Yun Wuji, the creator, others did not have enough time to learn it.

"Aghh! D-Devil!!!" The poor Heavenly Mystery Elder roared as the giant squeezed his body. The cracking sound of his bones being broken echoed. Moyu was barely a middle-level Divine Master. He had been lucky earlier to stay far away where no one bothered with him, but now that Yun Wuji targeted him out of the blue, he had no way to escape.

"Your voice is so ugly. I originally wanted to take my time to torture you, but I changed my mind," Yun Wuji spoke casually. He had planned to slowly torment him for being such a noisy bastard, but after the destruction of the Eternal Heaven Realm, that desire had vanished.

"Uwaaaa!" He grabbed the upper body with one hand and the lower body with the other. With a cruel yank, he ripped the man's body into two.

A geyser of blood erupted from the severed halves, raining crimson in a grotesque shower.

Yun Wuji ignored the gruesome display and searched the dead elder's pocket world.

As the strongest Heavenly Mystery Elder and the only one left, he naturally carried all the sect's secret profound skills, records, and arts on his person, and most importantly, the Heavenly Mystery God Canon.

Yun Wuji was very curious about their art of peeking at heavenly secrets. He wanted to see if he could replicate and improve it. Maybe he could actually create an art that let him deduce the future, instead of just using his meta knowledge as an excuse.

He stored everything without a second glance, then turned to the Southern Sea God Realm and Nan Wansheng. "Southern Sea Simp, sorry for making you wait."

"Damn it! What the hell is the Dragon Monarch doing?" Nan Wansheng gritted his teeth and reluctantly ordered the Sea Gods and Sea Kings to stop this crazy bastard.

"Devil... Queen!" Zhou Xuzi's head lifted slowly, mechanically, his movements stiff like a puppet. His vision had long since drowned in blood-red, whether from actual blood or sheer shock, even he couldn't tell. With a guttural roar, his profound energy detonated, propelling his body toward Chi Wuyao like a living missile.

This woman had destroyed everything he yearned to protect, his realm, his family, his descendants, his beloved son Zhou Qingchen... even the fate of the Eternal Heaven's Great Ancestor remained unknown!

"Oh my... so eager to die?" Chi Wuyao's bewitching lips curved into a small smile.

The black mist wreathing her body dispersed and brushed over like black silk. That simple movement immediately carved a black scar in space hundreds of kilometers long.

It was as if she tore an abyss of darkness into the very fabric of reality.

Heavens and earth split apart under the might of that abyss. The insane Eternal Heaven God Emperor was sent flying back to where he came from, blood spurting from his mouth.

Chi Wuyao might not be the strongest God Emperor in the Northern Divine Region, but her power was still far beyond the Eternal Heaven God Emperor at his peak and even more so now, when he was on his last leg.

"My Lord!"

Tai Yu and the other Guardians reacted instantly, surging forward to aid him, but the moment they moved, a wave of sharp sword aura sliced across their path. "Friends, please wait."

"Who?!" Tai Yu whirled toward the source of the sword energy, his voice dropping to a dangerous growl. Deep down, he already knew who stood behind this attack, but his mind recoiled from accepting the truth.

Slowly, two men appeared from their hiding spot. The one who had just attacked was an old man with a clean face, snow-white beard, and a gentle countenance. Dressed in blue, his eyes looked as amiable as an ancient well that had stood for tens of millennia.

Standing by his side was a middle-aged man with long black hair and a goatee. He wore a white and purple robe.

"Sword Sovereign!"

"Glazed Light Realm's Realm King!"

Tai Yu exclaimed in shock as his pupils shrank. What shocked him wasn't just their sudden attack but also the aura radiating from them. The Sword Sovereign gave off a thick, deep aura of a 10th level Divine Master Realm, while Shui Qianheng radiated the aura of a 9th level Divine Master.

However, if it were before, this might have shocked him for a long time. But after seeing so many of his acquaintances suddenly surging in strength, he quickly recovered and asked, "What is the meaning of this? Why are you helping devils?"

"Forgive me, Honorable Tai Yu. This king had no choice." Shui Qianheng's voice was heavy, his expression conflicted. The Glazed Light Realm and Eternal Heaven Realm had always been close, so close that the Eternal Heaven God Emperor once sought to take Shui Meiyin as his disciple. Were it not for the circumstances forcing his hand, he would never have turned against them.

But for the sake of his daughters, wife, and his realm, he had no choice but to fight.

"Since this matter has come to this point, there is no use in talking," the Sword Sovereign said more straightforwardly. He waved his long sleeves, and countless sharp sword auras shot forward, attacking Tai Yu.

Shui Qianheng hesitated for a split second before attacking. He then turned his attention to the injured four Guardians.

"Everything is going according to plan so far. The rest depends on you, little darling," Chi Wuyao thought as she controlled her black silk, injuring the frenzied Eternal Heaven God Emperor.

Needless to say, it was she who 'convinced' both the Sword Sovereign and Shui Qianheng to join the fight. Yun Wuji might not care about recruiting them, but Chi Wuyao was much more calculative. Since she could use them, why not? In fact, if it weren't for the lack of time, she would have recruited other Divine Masters in the Northern Divine Region for this expedition.

On the other side, the fights resumed after the fireworks that were the Eternal Heaven God Realm. Star God Realm, Luo Guxie, and Mu Xuanyin once again locked into battle with the three king realms of the Southern Divine Region.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Luo Guxie exchanged blows with the Purple Micro God Emperor. Green and purple winds twisted into storms and tornadoes, ripping everything around and tearing huge rips in space. Deep purple divine energy formed a sphere barely holding it back. Sweat dripped from the Purple Micro God Emperor's forehead. Luo Guxie's profound energy was far higher than his. He could barely keep her at bay.

Xuanyuan God Emperor once again fought Xing Juekong.

Swoosh! Bang!

Mu Xuanyin's Sword Princess grazed past Cang Shitian's shoulder, cutting through his energy shield and clothes. The energy from her sword created a gigantic glacier that exploded behind him.

"Whoa! That's dangerous!" Cang Shitian thrust his hand forward in retaliation. He glanced behind at the cold glacier stretching thousands of kilometers and exclaimed in an exaggerated manner.

He retreated to the Purple Micro God Emperor's side. "The situation isn't optimistic. Let's work together." His voice was grave. Without waiting for a reply, he launched himself at Luo Guxie, his assault forcing her back several steps.

Mu Xuanyin stepped beside Luo Guxie, her icy gaze piercing the two opponents. "You're wasting too much time on small fry."

"Hmph! I'd have dealt with this trash in five minutes if he'd stood and fought properly." Luo Guxie's cold snort carried undisguised contempt as she glared at the evasive Purple Micro God Emperor. "But this coward is as slippery as an eel."

The Purple Micro God Emperor's cheeks twitched. He was a mighty God Emperor, standing at the pinnacle of the universe. Since when did anyone dare call him a small fry?

Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything about the two. He turned to Cang Shitian and said, "God Emperor Shitian, thanks for—"

Just then, a crimson light appeared before him out of nowhere. It showed up without the slightest fluctuation or sound.

Boom!

Jasmine's God Slaying Blade thrusted toward the Purple Micro God Emperor's heart, soundless. However, at the critical moment, the God Emperor erupted with his profound energy, stopping the blade a few inches away from him.

"Purple Micro God Emperor!" Cang Shitian's expression changed. He roared with all his might, fury clear in his voice as his profound energy detonated.

PFFT—

The Purple Micro God Emperor's eyes bulged. His gaze dropped to the hand protruding from his chest, fingers clenched around his still-beating heart. Slowly, disbelievingly, he turned to stare at his assailant. "You—"

Cang Shitian squeezed the heart in his hand until it burst. Then he pulled his hand from the Purple Micro God Emperor's chest and shrugged his shoulder. "Don't blame me. A man does what he must."
