Zhao Sheng evaded swift golden ants in the dark void before three powerful elders led by Hu Qianqian emerged from a portal, confronting him at the spiritual realm's entrance. Suspecting them as Wuxiang Demon Sect remnants, Zhao Sheng demanded entry to retrieve an item, leading to tense exchanges and a veiled threat that prompted their reluctant welcome. Inside the verdant realm of spirit fields and floating islands, he traced his artifact to a barren mountain, unveiling it as the Great Saint’s transformed residual soul—only for Hu Qianqian to suddenly reappear and interrupt.

Hu Qianqian locked eyes with him intently, her gaze growing stranger by the moment, as though appraising a helpless lamb primed for the butcher's blade.

Two breaths later, she clutched her abdomen abruptly and erupted into frenzied laughter, utterly wild and unchecked.

Haha, haha…

Observing this, Zhao Sheng's expression iced over suddenly, his voice stern as he demanded, What are you laughing about?

Haha, I mock your brazenness when death looms so close! Didn't your elders caution you against carelessly invading another sect's gates?

As her words flowed, Hu Qianqian's laughter cut off sharply, her face twisting into a menacing scowl while she glowered at Zhao Sheng.

Scorching flames cloaked Zhao Sheng's figure; he let out a dismissive cold chuckle, remarking indifferently: Heh, this spot ain't a dragon's lair or tiger's den—why hold back from entering?

Humph!

Hu Qianqian snorted disdainfully, Foolish daredevil! We'll see if laughter sticks with you soon.

Her sentence barely complete, a cool, apathetic voice reverberated across the entire spiritual domain: Six Desires Sky, open!

The instant open thundered forth, the skies, ground, Stone Mountain, and every nearby object erased without remnant.

In their stead emerged a freakish realm, shrouded in murk and haze, saturated with a rancid rot stench.

Hmm?

A chill gripped Zhao Sheng's heart; his Great Five Elements Extinction Realm surged outward at once, blanketing ten miles in pitch darkness.

In a heartbeat, a massive black-hole-like Light Ball, utterly dark, manifested overhead in this alien world.

Nearly together, a massive foul-smelling dark yellow tongue plummeted from above, slamming viciously into the Magic Domain Light Ball.

Boom boom… sizzle sizzle!

The Magic Domain Light Ball deformed sharply immediately, as the Power of Destruction gobbled the revolting giant tongue alive.

More than half the tongue evaporated instantly, its stump collapsed abruptly into a massive glob of reeking yellow sludge, cascading waterfall-like.

Upon landing, the yellow sludge softened and cratered the ground across dozens of miles, birthing a sprawling stinking quagmire.

Gas bubbles rapidly surfaced on the mire, proliferating like toad warts, provoking intense nausea.

Noting the failed strike, Hu Qianqian's visage darkened, poised for another assault.

Right then, a Divine Thought ray sliced through the Void directly into her spirit core: …Rudeness calls for return! Sample my Mixed Yuan Qi Great Capture!

Terror seized Hu Qianqian, no evasion possible; her body locked tight, limbs paralyzed on the spot.

Prior to full defense, unstoppable colossal force assailed her; darkness swallowed her sight, her body liquefying into muck.

Meanwhile, Zhao Sheng gradually drew back his right hand, joy absent from his features.

Gua…

Suddenly, a frog croak boomed across heaven and earth.

Gua… gua!

Croaks escalated in intensity and force, trembling the firmament and terrain.

Simultaneously, the mire expanded swiftly in all directions, promptly converting the full landscape into swamp seas.

In the blink of an eye!

With a thunderous boom, enormous dark yellow sludge rocketed upward, forming an infinite yellow mud canopy that engulfed Zhao Sheng, cutting off all escapes instantly.

At that precise instant, a colossal bizarre toad, slimed entirely with streaming yellow mud, ascended from the swamp's midst.

Whoosh whoosh!

Dark yellow giant tongues rocketed from the toad's maw like lightning, void-breaching at inconceivable velocity, impacting the Great Five Elements Extinction Realm forthwith.

Boom boom boom!

The Extinction Realm suffered relentless pounding; odd foul energy aggressively infiltrated its interior.

For an instant, two polar forces collided ferociously at the Law's tier.

ZZZZZZZZ…

Though the foul power paled in raw savagery to the Power of Destruction, home turf bolstered it greatly.

Under Six Desires Sky Realm's enhancement, the foul power ground down the Great Five Elements Extinction Realm through endless depletion.

At the realm's heart, Zhao Sheng stood unharmed, eyes scouring the encircling world, right eye whitening purely, left twinkling with stellar light.

A few breaths passed, then his heart plummeted—no flaw revealed by Eye Power in this realm.

It appeared as if this world was primordial, not conjured by any Great Array.

Still, Zhao Sheng understood perfectly that the vista was no reality.

The Wuxiang Demon Sect's reserves proved profoundly deep; razed repeatedly across twenty millennia, yet clutching such stunning hidden means.

Gua…

The bizarre mega-toad submerged and resurfaced in the swamp, suddenly gaping for a world-shaking croak.

The following moment, Hu Qianqian ascended gradually from the toad's back, grasping a peculiar foot-long sickle-hook weapon.

Sickle-resembling, the weapon emitted dim blood radiance across its form; the hook's edge linked by eerie white vertebral sections, terrifying to behold.

Hu Qianqian mutely hoisted the hooked blade, casually swiping toward Zhao Sheng concealed in the Magic Domain, dispatching a blood-red Sword Light that vanished promptly.

Not good!

The very moment Hu Qianqian brandished the odd weapon, Zhao Sheng sensed crushing peril approaching.

In that pivotal instant, Mysterious Skill triggered on instinct, mana bursting wildly from his palm.

Without delay, Mixed Element Giant Palm materialized from nowhere, shielding Zhao Sheng flawlessly.

Yet a staggering spectacle transpired!

The Sword Light disregarded Mixed Element Giant Palm and Great Five Elements Extinction Realm alike, bypassed bodily protections, landing squarely on the Primordial Spirit within Purple Mansion's depths.

Puchi!

Soul blood!

Spray!

Wild!

Zhao Sheng's Primordial Spirit tore open, essence blood spurting madly, soul sea roiling in agony.

Pain!

Scream!

Internal!

But Zhao Sheng bit down, Divine Sense surging to mend the wound hastily.

Burn!

Soul force!

Madly!

His Primordial Spirit ignited essence, counterforce exploding outward.

Boom!

Toad body shattered, yellow mud exploding everywhere.

Hu Qianqian spat blood, body hurled back.

How... possible?

Zhao Sheng eyes cold, Die!

Power!

Massive!

Mixed Yuan Qi blasted, crushing all resistance.

Hu Qianqian screamed, form disintegrating into sludge once more.

Victory!

But realm persisted, more threats lurking.

Zhao Sheng panted, wounds healing slowly.

Battle far from over.

You court death!

Fool, perish!

Endless assaults came, Zhao Sheng parried fiercely.

Boom boom boom!

Laws clashed, world trembled.

Finally, realm cracked, light pierced through.

Hu Qianqian defeated, Six Desires Sky collapsed.

Zhao Sheng victorious, stepping forward.
