Fame Soars, Shaking the East Sea Coast!

The earth-shattering roar of World Creation shook the heavens and earth. A sea of lightning, like a vast ocean, shot up into the sky, its brilliant radiance illuminating the entire East Sea Coast region.

The immense energy surged like a tidal wave across the East Sea Coast.

The entire East Sea Coast felt like a lone boat adrift in a raging sea, violently tossing about.

It seemed on the verge of capsizing at any moment.

Faced with such a tempest of energy, all living beings on the East Sea Coast felt their own insignificance.

It was like mortals standing by the sea, facing the boundless ocean with its rising and falling waves, feeling nothing but smallness, and then even smaller.

The inhabitants of the East Sea Coast had never witnessed such a terrifying scene.

For a moment, they were all stunned silent.

"Is this... Heavenly Punishment?"

"That Human Race Holy Father, how can he receive the protection of the Heavenly Dao?"

Deep within the East Sea, on the Ten Continents, several powerful beings who witnessed the entire process of the Heavenly Punishment descending secretly felt a chill run down their spines.

At the same time, they also took note of Gu Xi.

"Human Race!"

"Human Race Holy Father Gu Xi!"

"Heavenly Punishment!"

"... Could it be that this Human Race is destined to be the protagonist of this era, following the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin races, as well as the Witch and Demon Races?"

"Perhaps, this is an opportunity for our Dragon Race to escape our predicament."

"We can have our young ones make contact with the Human Race first."

In the unfathomably deep seabed of the East Sea, a figure as majestic and boundless as an ancient mountain range murmured to itself.

The area where the Heavenly Punishment descended, spanning roughly 150,000 to 160,000 miles, had been reduced to scorched earth.

On the fragmented land, streaks of lightning still snaked about.

Gu Xi, however, had a face full of joy.

The harvest this time was immense.

With the power of the Heavenly Punishment, he had successfully annihilated Great Sage Jin Ling and six other Great Sages, along with numerous Gods and Demons who had coveted and pursued him.

After the tribulation, he obtained 20 Acquired Spiritual Treasures.

Among them were 7 top-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures, all left behind by Great Sage Jin Ling and the other six Great Sages.

However, the greatest gain was not these Spiritual Treasures.

It was the 4 Grand Unity Dao Embryos and 10 Dao Seeds.

These Grand Unity Dao Embryos and Dao Seeds contained the Dao comprehended by their original owners.

Through these Dao Embryos and Dao Seeds, one could quickly comprehend the Great Dao that the original owners had comprehended.

"With these Dao Embryos and Dao Seeds as nourishment, my advancement to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal is no longer an issue. In fact, I might even be able to master some other Great Daos in the process."

"And this display of power should be enough to deter all Gods and Demons on the East Sea Coast from offending the Human Race."

Gu Xi muttered to himself, transforming into a streak of light and returning to the Human Race.

Not long after, a robust and imposing figure appeared at the edge of the scorched earth.

"Truly terrifying. This Human Race Gu Xi actually drew such a fearsome Heavenly Punishment and used its power to obliterate seven Great Sages and the Gods and Demons who participated in the encirclement..."

Wu Li gazed at the boundless expanse of scorched earth before him, his face revealing a look of lingering fear.

Fortunately, he had not participated in this encirclement of Gu Xi.

Otherwise, he would likely have been reduced to ashes by the Lightning Punishment, just like Great Sage Jin Ling and the others.

"This Human Race Gu Xi is very special. He is an individual worth paying close attention to. I must quickly relay information about him back to Ancestral Witch Houtu."

His figure flickered, transforming into a streak of light and departing.

Subsequently, many more Gods and Demons appeared near the scorched earth one after another.

Each of them looked at the fragmented, scorched land with expressions of shock and relief.

Relief that they had not participated in this battle.

"Human Race Gu Xi is too mysterious, actually being able to summon Heavenly Punishment. This person cannot be provoked."

"First Great Sage Qiongqi, then the five Great Sages of the Five Elements Dharma Lineage, and two more mysterious Great Sages... So many Great Sages have died because of Gu Xi. It seems he is now invincible on the East Sea Coast."

"The Human Race is about to rise. Everyone should tread carefully when dealing with the Human Race from now on."

The numerous Gods and Demons departed one after another, their hearts filled with immense shock and complex emotions.

The outcome of this battle was undoubtedly earth-shattering.

All the Gods and Demons on the East Sea Coast knew that from now on, the Human Race would be a dominant force in the East Sea Coast region, even more powerful than the former Guishan Monster Race and Five Elements Dharma Lineage.

Furthermore, as soon as the news of Great Sage Jin Ling and others' demise spread, the Five Elements Mountain, where the Five Elements Dharma Lineage was located, was immediately invaded and plundered by many Gods and Demons.

All core members of the Five Elements Dharma Lineage were wiped out overnight.

The remaining members also fled one after another.

The Five Elements Dharma Lineage, which had dominated the East Sea Coast for countless years, vanished in an instant, just like the Guishan Monster Race.

This made countless beings on the East Sea Coast sigh—there truly are no eternal and undying powers in the world.

They were also filled with reverence for the Human Race!

And Gu Xi's name quickly spread among all beings on the East Sea Coast, striking the entire region with awe.

Human Race tribal settlement.

"The Holy Father has returned."

"Fellow Daoist Gu Xi has returned."

Seeing Gu Xi return, Suiren Shi, Youchao Shi, Ziyi Shi, Teng Snake Demon God, Fire Rhinoceros Daoist, and others breathed a huge sigh of relief.

The combat tremors from tens of thousands of miles away just now were truly terrifying.

They had all been frightened.

They were afraid that Gu Xi would perish in this battle.

"It's alright. From now on, there probably won't be any powers in the East Sea Coast region who dare to oppose our Human Race."

Gu Xi said with a smile.

"Could it be that the Holy Father suppressed those Gods and Demons?"

Suiren Shi and the others were deeply shaken.

"Not suppressed, but eliminated!"

Gu Xi's expression was very calm.

Eliminated?

Could it be that...

Suiren Shi and the others seemed to have thought of something, and recalling the earth-shattering lightning just now, their faces instantly showed expressions of horror.

They had already figured it out.

It was obvious that the boundless Sea of Thunder just now must have been related to Gu Xi.

And since Gu Xi said he eliminated them, it meant that all the Gods and Demons who participated in the encirclement and killing of Gu Xi should have been annihilated by the Sea of Thunder.

Thinking of this, Suiren Shi and the others couldn't help but feel a surge of shock.

They never imagined that Gu Xi could summon such a terrifying Sea of Thunder.

Immediately, they also became excited.

After this battle, it was likely that no power in the East Sea Coast region could stop the rise of the Human Race.

Gu Xi didn't say any more.

He went straight back to his Elegant Abode.

Within the Elegant Abode, a Auspicious Cloud appeared above Gu Xi's head. Within it, a Dao Seed emanated brilliant Immortal Divine Light, and wisps of the grand Aura of the Primordial Merit Great Dao emanated from it.

Beneath the Dao Seed was a hazy Dao Embryo.

In addition, there were three Primordial Spiritual Treasures, namely the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, the Ice Soul Divine Needle, and the God Slaying Pagoda, as well as many Acquired Spiritual Treasures, revolving around the Dao Seed and Dao Embryo.

At this moment, with a thought from Gu Xi, another 4 Dao Embryos and 10 Dao Seeds appeared in the Auspicious Cloud.

"It's time to advance to the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm,"

Gu Xi murmured to himself, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
