No one had deliberately spread word of the battle at the World-Severing Abyss.
Yet, like an unstoppable gale, it swept across the entire Hongmeng Universe in an incredibly short time.
There was no embellishment whatsoever.
"The Rebel-Suppression Alliance ambushed the 'Returnees' at the World-Severing Abyss in the far west."
"Alliance leader Heavenly River True Lord joined forces with ten Dao-Fusion Peak cultivators and one hundred and ten Da Luo True Realm cultivators to lay down the ancient killing formation, 'Myriad Dao Heaven-Severing.'"
"Heavenly River True Lord detonated his laws before the formation."
"The Returnee, Zhou Ming, the Green-Robed Man, emerged completely unscathed."
"The Rebel-Suppression Alliance suffered a crushing defeat and fled in panic."
Every living being who heard the news reacted with disbelief.
It was too absurd.
It was stranger than even the most outlandish tale.
What did the self-detonation of a Dao-Fusion Peak cultivator mean?
It was enough to erase an entire great domain from the map of the Hongmeng Universe!
Yet now, someone was telling them that a man had weathered such a blow head-on without suffering so much as a scratch?
What kind of joke was that?!
But as more and more details spread from the mouths of those True Lords...
Everyone fell silent.
They had no choice but to accept this scalp-tingling truth.
The "Returnee" they had always regarded as a "walking opportunity"...
Was a genuine Unity Realm cultivator!
Eastern Wasteland, Chaotic Ancient Divine Mountain.
"Pfft-"
Chaotic Ancient True Lord spat out a mouthful of golden blood containing fragments of the Great Dao, corroding a large hole in the divine-metal throne before him.
His face was deathly pale.
His aura had weakened to the extreme.
During the battle at the World-Severing Abyss, he had burned his Origin once again to detonate the Chaotic Ancient Battle
