While the great accomplishment sacred body and the Lord of Reincarnation fought a savage battle, shattering galaxies and shaking the universe,
In another Star Domain, another confrontation that would decide the fate of all the Myriad Spirits in the universe had also reached a white-hot pitch!
Yellow Emperor, Shen, Laozi, and Shakyamuni stood in the starry sky, their gazes calm yet resolute.
Their eyes met. Without a word, they understood one another's intentions.
As the "new spirits" born within the flesh of former Great Emperors of the Human Clan and ancient Heavenly Venerables, they were not the original beings, but they had never forgotten the conviction to protect all life and quell turmoil.
Beneath his ordinary face, Void Emperor's blood boiled.
"Void Emperor fought his entire life, spilling his blood in the forbidden zones. Wasn't it all so that those who came after him could live in peace?"
"How could we stand by today and watch a junior fight alone? So what if our emperor bodies shatter here?!"
"That great accomplished tyrant body is already gravely wounded. Leaving him to Jiang Zhu is the best choice. As for these two old ghosts..." Shennong's gaze swept over the Lord of the Divine Ruins and Heaven-Abandoning Supreme, his Battle Intent soaring into the heavens.
"Leave them to us! Even if we cannot defeat them, we'll gnaw a bone off them!"
"Nonaction, yet nothing is left undone. When we left Hangu Pass, we were already prepared to sacrifice ourselves. Leaving him the weakest enemy is... the Dao follows nature."
Laozi rode the Azure Ox, his Daoist robes fluttering, his eyes as deep as the starry sky.
"If I do not enter hell, who will? Benefactor Jiang Zhu has already shouldered too much. Making him bear this battle alone would be far too cruel."
