A colossal cauldron hung in the air, its walls covered in the forms of mountains, rivers, and earth—concave and convex surfaces brimming with an incomparably weighty aura of heaven and earth. Deep within the divine cauldron, those hollows and bulges seemed to have been constructed from countless mysterious ancestral breaths, suppressing the boundless source of the Great Dao of heaven and earth.
That was Earth Spirit Divine Venerable, one of the three great ancient Spirit Divine Venerables.
He had once been one of the ancient Divine Venerables who contended for the orthodoxy of the earth, and likewise wielded a portion of the conceptual authority symbolizing the origin of the earth.
That majestic figure charged forth in an instant, like the earth itself flying into a rage.
The divine power swelling around him was exceptionally vast. He gathered the boundless power of the earth within the golden cauldron, granting it immeasurable divine might.
As radiance swept past, even the azure sword intent wielded by Supreme Clarity Daoist was shaken.
But that was all.
"Earth Spirit, you have lived long enough. Reincarnation is where you belong. Leave this era to the other immortals and gods of heaven and earth!"
A calm voice rang out. A dazzling azure sword intent spun through the air, its radiance twisting and turning at will. Streams of light swept across the sky, carrying a supreme blade edge capable of severing the eternal Great Dao. Even the concepts of heaven and earth's Great Dao seemed utterly insignificant beneath that azure sword gleam.
With a single sword strike, the golden cauldron formed from countless concepts of earth was pierced through. The expression of the anciently clad deity changed, and countless Earth Spirit divine lights rose behind him. Countless transcendent wills condensed within them, converging into a transcendent dharma seal.
