The great axe that cleaved toward Source Wisdom's corpse radiated fierce black light. That light tore through the chaos; wherever it passed, the chaos split apart, opening directly into the Source-less Land beyond the world.
Boom!!
The arm Source Wisdom's corpse had reached forward with was cleaved open at the palm, leaving a huge wound from which silvery blood spilled.
The corpse was likewise halted by this blow and had no choice but to retreat several steps.
If Source Wisdom Grand World Lord had still been alive, Hongjun's axe would have been unable to harm him. But the one controlling Source Wisdom's corpse now was merely an alternative lifeform, the Wisdom God. With only a half-step Transcendence-level body, he was utterly unable to gain the upper hand against a revived World-Venerable ancient artifact.
After driving back the corpse of the Source Realm with one axe strike, Hongjun's body paused. The Immemorial Great Axe had also endured considerable recoil from that blow; after all, it had struck the body of a World Venerable.
Behind Hongjun, the Dao Immortal Grand Celestial Venerable, who had rushed forward, seized the World-Venerable Spirit Pearl that had absorbed the power of the world's creation and temporarily recovered to its peak. He then smashed it directly into Hongjun's back.
Boom!!
Struck by the blow, Hongjun staggered forward, but he took advantage of the motion to swing his great axe backward, hacking heavily into the World-Venerable Spirit Pearl. With a crack, another fissure appeared on the spirit pearl, only to be swiftly repaired by the power of the world's creation.
Yet the tremendous recoil sent Dao Immortal, who was holding the spirit pearl, flying away.
At that moment, Source Wisdom's corpse charged forward again. This time, it did not reach out to grab him, but clenched its fist
