Above Houtu's head, the sight was truly terrifying!
Torrents surged, endless and unceasing, vast and relentless!
All living beings could see with their own eyes that shocking fissures had appeared across the once-boundless firmament.
Chaos energy swirled and poured down, leaving all living beings utterly horrified, gripped by terror.
After Nuwa had mended the heavens all those years ago, were the heavens about to collapse and the earth split apart once again?
That overwhelming terror still left their hearts trembling.
Across the universe, great stars exploded one after another, turning into enormous fragments that crashed onto the land.
Throughout the Primordial World, countless divine peaks and towering mountains crumbled apart.
Each scene looked like the end of the world.
"Heavens, we truly underestimated Sage Houtu before."
"She's clearly no longer on the same level as the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others."
"Heh, her beauty eclipses past and present, and her strength strikes terror into all ten directions. Sage Houtu's splendor truly has no equal across the ages."
"Indeed, indeed. I have a vague feeling that even Saint Nuwa falls somewhat short of her."
All living beings exclaimed in wonder or whispered among themselves.
After all, they remembered how Hongjun had manifested with overwhelming might and suppressed Houtu within the Underworld.
At the time, she had displayed no strength of unparalleled power.
Naturally, this had led them to believe that an enormous gulf must lie between Houtu's strength and Hongjun's.
Yet only now did they abruptly realize that this was not the case.
Empowered by the Book of Life and Death and the Eternal Cycle Reincarnation Brush, Houtu's might was terrifying beyond anything they had seen.
Even confronting Hongjun head-on, she lost nothing to him in momentum.
Meanwhile!
Within Mount Shu!
