Master Qing Cao sighed. "It was a mistake to choose them as the Protectors of the Four Directions. Four trash who didn't dare to cross the Bitter Adversity added together couldn't compare to you. But you were too ambitious and didn't want to be the Protectors of the Four Directions."
The One True God looked at Master Qing Cao. "You were too ambitious. If you want to break through that limit again, you can only restart the universe. I just want to step into the Eternal Life Realm. In the end, I will always be below you."
Master Qing Cao laughed. "The Eternal Life Realm is the limit. There is no breakthrough. I just want to shorten the limit."
The One True God did not speak. Master Qing Cao must have a plan for appearing. The current situation did not allow him to not appear.
"They have already set off," Master Qing Cao said.
The One True God's eyes flickered. "Spiritualized universe?"
"There is no other way. I thought that there was no need for the spiritualized universe to take action. After all, fighting two universes at the same time will do more harm than good. Who asked Lu Yin to rise in the Tian Yuan Universe?" Master Qing Cao said helplessly.
With that, he left. "It is a pity that Taihong died. Among her generation, I thought the most highly of her. She was stubborn and pure. What a pity, what a pity."
His voice became fainter and fainter until it finally disappeared.
The One True God looked at the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realm. Was it a pity?
It was not a pity. If she did not do this, she would not be Taihong. If she did not do this, she would not be able to cross the Bitter Adversity. This was her personality.
A few days later, the Ancient God stood in a dark corner of the Fury Sword Domain. A strand of power fell, penetrating the Sovereign Realm and heading towards the Top World's Heavenly Border.
This strand of power disappeared before it could penetrate the Sovereign Realm.
The Ancient God's expression changed. He suddenly turned around. Behind him, Master Qing Cao looked at him with a smile.
"When I first saw you, I told you that Absolute Beginning's disciples were not bad. You endured humiliation and joined the Eternal Race, endured infamy for countless years, and did not expose yourself even when facing the extinction of the human race. It was all for me."
In the distance, the One True God walked over and looked at the Ancient God. "You are clearly under my control, yet you still have thoughts of rebellion?"
The Ancient God's gaze was calm. He had expected to be discovered. "You have been watching me all this time?"
A cold glint appeared in the eyes of the Only True God. "There are definitely human spies in the Seven Heavens. Excluding everyone else, the only possibility is you."
"Actually, when you betrayed humanity and joined me, I didn't trust you. That was why I controlled you. I didn't expect that you could even resist my control. At the critical moment, you wanted to leak the information."
Grandmaster Green Grass sighed in admiration. "I've waited for countless years for this moment. I've appeared, but you can't spread the word."
The Ancient God suddenly attacked. His Palm God Realm battle aura covered him as he punched at Master Grass.
Only Master Qing Cao could stop him. The only True God was trapped by the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Hei Wushen and the Heavenly Hound could not stop him.
Moreover, he also wanted to test the strength of the Eternal Life Realm.
Master Green Grass sighed. "I'll give you a chance. Give up your human identity completely, lest I have to do anything."
The Ancient God remained unmoved. Not only did he punch at Master Grass, but he also wanted to shatter the entire Sovereign Realm to attract the attention of the Starry Sky Tree.
The fist swept past Master Grass and hit the back.
In the next moment, he disappeared without a trace.
Let alone shattering a Sovereign Realm, he couldn't even shatter a speck of dust.
The Ancient God stood where he was in disbelief.
How … was this possible?
Master Grass stood before him, less than a meter away. He looked at him calmly and gently. "Child, you only have one life. You can't redo it. I'm giving you a chance. You should feel the difference between us."
The Ancient God stared at Master Grass. "There's a limit to you."
Master Grass was helpless. "Is it worth it to exchange your life for a little limit?"
The Ancient God's body was covered in black and grey. "Yes."
He grabbed at Master Grass, and the black and grey power erupted, covering the surroundings. This was a power that had never been used in the battlefield of the Ancient City and the Disaster Realm. This was the peak power of the Palm God Realm. At this moment, it was all unleashed, attacking Master Grass.
Master Grass still stood where he was. The black and grey power that was enough to shock Hei Wushen vanished in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
The only True God's gaze landed on Master Grass's wrist. There, it had increased a little.
No matter what, the Ancient God was still a Primordial realm expert. Eternal Life experts could not ignore Primordial realm experts, but outsiders could not tell.
In the eyes of the Ancient God and Hei Wushen, all of the Ancient God's power was like dust before Master Grass. It would vanish with a single blow. There was no need to even blow.
The Ancient God was stunned. He had never thought that he would be suppressed like this. Was this still the power that living beings should possess?
The Primordial realm? Misery?
None of that was possible. Even his master at his peak could not ignore his current power. Only Eternal Life experts could do that.
"Making all matter disappear. That is the Eternal Life realm," Master Grass said slowly as if he was talking about something unimportant.
"To this old man, everything in this universe, including the Sequence Laws, is nothing but a fleeting cloud. Nothing can get close to it. This is the Eternal Realm."
"Child, I'll give you one last chance. I will guide you carefully. If Eternal Life can reach the Eternal Life realm, so can you. After all, you've taken that step."
The Ancient God stared at Master Grass in shock. Nothing can approach them?
Was this the power of the Eternal Life realm?
Who could stop it?
It was impossible. To them, the Eternal Life realm was equivalent to gods. That was the power that only true gods possessed.
This was the power that the only true god wanted to obtain by sacrificing the entire universe.
The Ancient God pulled back and stared at the ground blankly. This power was enough to bury everyone. Numbers were meaningless.
Master Grass smiled as he watched calmly.
In the distance, Hei Wushen and Tiangou watched silently. They dared not make any noise.
They saw the power that truly stood at the apex of the universe. The power to control everything and prevent anything from approaching them exceeded their imaginations.
Primordial realm experts could prevent anything from approaching them, which was already quite terrifying. However, no power could approach the Eternal Life realm. They were basically undying existences.
The Ancient God had already struck out as hard as he could, but he could not even cause a ripple.
He only wanted to create a disturbance so that the Starry Sky of Trees could sense it, so that Lu Tianjing could sense it.
The mighty Primordial realm, the former ruler of the Three Worlds and Six Paths, had only wanted to do this, but he still could not.
In the distance, Nong Yi stood on a tree branch and gazed at the garden of seeds. He could see this place as a Progenitor, but no matter what the Ancient God did, he was unable to attract Nong Yi's attention. To Nong Yi, the Ruler's World was very peaceful.
The Ancient God's eyes were terrifyingly sunken. The black and grey on his body vanished.
Hei Wushen's eyes flickered. Had he accepted his fate?
In the next moment, the Ancient God's body rumbled. His skin cracked open, and blood dyed the air red. His bones shattered.
The veins turned into fragments and exploded in all directions. An indescribably terrifying aura erupted at this moment.
Hei Wushen was shocked. What kind of power was this?
Just the fragments of his bones and meridians were enough to make him constantly retreat. The Ancient God was actually hiding such power?
However, his body had already shattered, so what could he do?
The only true god was surprised. He had never thought that the Ancient God could erupt with such power. This power was definitely not below the power he had used to uproot the black mother tree with the Freedom of the True God.
The Ancient God raised his head. His eyes were scarlet red. This was his law of sequence, strengthening.
Since there were strengthening methods in the world, he could also strengthen himself.
At that moment, the Ancient God used his own body as an object to strengthen himself endlessly. Even when his body could not bear it, he continued to strengthen himself. He strengthened himself until his flesh and blood were shattered. He strengthened himself until even his meridians were shattered. No matter what kind of power he could unleash at that moment, he would definitely die in the next moment.
Master Qing Cao frowned. "Why?
Any power that is trapped in the universe cannot break through the Eternal Life Realm and control it. "
The Ancient God growled and closed his five fingers. The terrifying power made the only true god take a few steps back. Hei Wushen could not even get close. The Heavenly Dog wailed and kept retreating with its tail between its legs.
Whoosh …
He punched out. When the fist hit Master Qing Cao, the Ancient God's body started to shatter from his legs. His bones, meridians, flesh, and blood were all shattered layer by layer. It spread to his torso, arms, and head. In just an instant, the Ancient God's flesh and blood were stuck to his bones. It was as if he had experienced countless years of decay and vicissitudes just to throw out that punch.
That punch should have been earth-shattering. It should have been the most terrifying punch since the beginning of human cultivation.
That punch should have caused even the long river of time to ripple, making it difficult for future generations to trace back.
That punch should have brought out the glory of the Three Realms and Six Paths.
However, that punch still did not cause the slightest ripple.
In the distance, Nong Yi looked at the seed garden below. When he was old, he wanted to look at the younger generation, as if they were his descendants. This kind of familial happiness was really good.
If he looked to the side, he would be able to see the Ancient God's fatal punch.
But he did not look. The Ancient God's punch did not even have the ability to divert Nong Yi's gaze. It was completely obliterated in front of Master Qing Cao.
Master Qing Cao looked at the ghastly white bone fist and looked at the Ancient God. "Your name is Gu Yizhi. I will remember it."
"Since stepping into the Eternal Life Realm, you are the only person who can hit me so close."
The Ancient God stared at Master Qing Cao. The white bone shattered weakly. It was useless. It was still useless. No matter how hard he tried, he still could not hurt Master Qing Cao at all.
Was there no future for humans?
Impossible. There must be something that he did not discover. Otherwise, why didn't this person restart the universe earlier?
To him, what was Immemorial City?
What was the Above Heaven Sect?
What Three Realms and Six Paths? What Lu Yin? They were all just a snap of his fingers.
But he did not make a move because of the restrictions.
His restrictions must be very serious, so serious that he needed to restart the universe to shorten the time. He might not even be able to make a move himself.
The Ancient God's pupils that were sunk into the white bone eye sockets burst out with light. He opened his mouth and said, "The Heavenly Dao has given, swallowing and spitting out hundreds of rivers. The ancient land is harmonious, imitating the Supreme Sage …"
The only True God was shocked. "Not good, the Primogenitor's Scripture."
Master Qing Cao waved his hand casually, and the Ancient God's body retreated, almost falling apart.
At the same time, in the starry sky of the universe, everyone who cultivated the Primogenitor's Scripture saw a face in an instant — Master Qing Cao. That was the remnant of the Ancient God's gaze.
