Eternal Sacred King Chapter 3371: Flames of War
Bang!
In an instant, a dark silhouette materialized before Su Zimo, effortlessly shattering the Divine Punishment with a simple grasp!
Saint Thearch Reincarnation had finally made his entrance!
Su Zimo let out a long breath of relief.
Had Saint Thearch Reincarnation not intervened to intercept that strike, not even the protection of the Chaos Bell and the Chaos Saint Body could have saved him; he surely would have perished within two exchanges!
If the Green Lotus True Body were to fall, the intricate deduction of the Martial Dao Prime Body would be compromised as well!
With a casual wave of his hand, Saint Thearch Reincarnation remarked, “Divine Punishment, you have grown far weaker than in the past. It appears your recovery has been quite difficult.”
It was true!
The five Genesis Essence Spirits had been burdened by injuries for ages!
A flicker of suspicion crossed Su Zimo’s mind.
As the Heavenly Dao Saint Thearchs, why did the five Genesis Essence Spirits remain unhealed while Saint Thearch Reincarnation seemed to have fully regained his strength?
What manner of wound could be so devastating that even the five Genesis Essence Spirits were unable to achieve a full recovery?
Genesis Essence Spirit Yin Yang remained composed, stating flatly, “Chaos and Life are gone. You cannot create much of a disturbance on your own.”
Genesis Essence Spirit Space Time added in a heavy tone, “Even in our weakened state, our united strength is enough to suppress you!”
“I highly doubt that.”
“Hehehehe…”
Saint Thearch Reincarnation stared at the five Genesis Essence Spirits and burst into a sudden, manic laughter. His shoulders shook with a hint of madness.
Genesis Essence Spirit Nirvana spoke with icy resolve, “There is no point in further discussion. Let us combine our power and execute him!”
Boom!
Genesis Essence Spirit Nirvana initiated the strike.
The raw power of the Heavenly Dao surged forth, saturating the void with an aura of absolute annihilation!
Under the influence of the Nirvana Heavenly Dao, all existence was forced toward its end, destined to crumble into nothingness!
Piak!
With a nonchalant slap, Saint Thearch Reincarnation dissolved the newly formed Nirvana Heavenly Dao energy.
“You need not bother with techniques of this caliber anymore,” Saint Thearch Reincarnation said, his voice laced with mockery.
The face of Genesis Essence Spirit Nirvana grew grim.
With a mere thought, a spear radiating murderous intent pierced through the clouds and landed in his grip. It was the Saint Slaying Spear, a Heavenly Dao Saint Weapon!
“Everyone, stay vigilant,” Genesis Essence Spirit Nirvana warned solemnly.
The other four Genesis Essence Spirits understood the gravity of the situation and summoned the remaining four Heavenly Dao Saint Weapons back to themselves.
Sensing the massive disturbance, the Fiend Lord, the Lord of the Heavenly Being Dao, the Lord of Hell, and the Evil Lady—who had been stationed within the 33 Heavens—emerged one by one. For the first time, they led their vast legions out of the 33 Heavens!
Suddenly, the skies above the 33 Heavens were filled with dancing Evil Fiends, spectral shadows, and banners that whipped in the wind, carrying a suffocating intent to kill!
Previously, the Fiend Lord and the Lord of Hell had hesitated to leave their stronghold, fearing the power of the five Heavenly Dao Saint Weapons.
But now that those weapons no longer posed a threat to them, the Lords of the Four Paths finally stepped onto the battlefield!
The Mountain Chief also led the Human Saints from the Life Sanctuary into the fray.
At the Chaos Sanctuary, Illumination, Nether Glow, and Die Yue took to the skies at the head of their experts, casting their gazes toward the five Sanctuaries.
In the eastern horizon, an immense staff appeared, stretching toward the firmament. Beside it, a colossal figure loomed, radiating a terrifying pressure!
Great Saint Chaos Universe had arrived!
Despite staying neutral during previous conflicts, Great Saint Chaos Universe was prepared to join the struggle in this era!
The major chiliocosm was in upheaval; the world was changing!
“Azure Dragon!”
The Evil Lady’s voice echoed across the five Sanctuaries. “This is the Cycle of the Heavenly Dao. Did the five of you never imagine that this day would arrive?!”
The Cycle of the Heavenly Dao!
Those words carried an almost demonic weight. The inhabitants of the five Sanctuaries felt their hearts tremble with a sudden, gnawing unease.
The expressions of the five Saint Lords turned sour.
The mention of the Cycle of the Heavenly Dao forced them to remember the past; the memories were as vivid as if they had happened only yesterday.
In truth, the five of them were responsible for the downfall of the three Sanctuaries!
During that massive upheaval, Saint Thearch Chaos and Saint Thearch Life had perished, while Saint Thearch Reincarnation had vanished without a trace.
The five Genesis Essence Spirits had been wounded. Before entering their slumber, they had entrusted the five Heavenly Dao Saint Weapons to the Saint Lords, charging them with maintaining the balance of the trichiliocosm.
It was precisely because of those five Heavenly Dao Saint Weapons that the Saint Lords had been able to crush the three Sanctuaries so decisively!
But now, in this current generation, the Heavenly Dao Saint Weapons they relied upon had been reclaimed, stripping them of their greatest advantage.
Not only had the Reincarnation, Chaos, and Life Sanctuaries returned to power, but their number of Great Saint experts now exceeded their own!
They were about to face the vengeful backlash of the three Sanctuaries!
It was the inevitable Cycle of the Heavenly Dao and the workings of karma.
Even the resolve of the five Saint Lords began to falter.
However, they soon regained their composure.
“As long as the five Genesis Essence Spirits can hold down Saint Thearch Reincarnation, the battle is still ours to win!” Saint Lord Yin Yang declared firmly.
“Precisely!”
Saint Lord Divine Punishment noted, “Our five Sanctuaries have stood for countless ages; our foundations are not so easily shaken. The three Sanctuaries will not find it easy to topple us!”
“We must do everything in our power to buy time and wait for the Genesis Essence Spirits to prevail!”
Saint Lord Space Time added, “We may lack the Heavenly Dao Saint Weapons, but so do they. Even with their superior numbers, killing us will be no simple task.”
“Ancestral Fire, Gu Yao has reached the rank of Great Saint. Where will her loyalties lie?”
The other four Saint Lords turned their attention to Saint Lord Ancestral Fire.
Saint Lord Ancestral Fire shook his head slowly. “She will take no side. She would not lift a finger even if she saw me perish.”
“The moment she ascended to Great Saint, the karma between us was severed for good.”
“Kill!”
With no more restraints holding them back, the myriad Evil Fiends and Nether Ghosts from the 33 Heavens launched themselves toward the five Sanctuaries in a frenzied assault!
The major chiliocosm was plunged into total chaos once more!
The fires of war spread rapidly, and few among the ten thousand races could escape the brewing catastrophe.
…
Boom!
Genesis Essence Spirit Yin Yang and Genesis Essence Spirit Divine Punishment struck in unison. They called upon the Taiji Diagram and the Divine Punishment Sword to pin down Saint Thearch Reincarnation!
As Yin and Yang rotated, the very world seemed to spin!
Saint Thearch Reincarnation appeared caught within the Taiji Diagram, facing imminent destruction!
Heaven and Earth were Yin and Yang;
Life and Death were Yin and Yang;
Sun and Moon were Yin and Yang;
Day and Night were Yin and Yang;
Heat and Cold were Yin and Yang;
The seasons, the weather, the thunder and the snow—all were manifestations of Yin and Yang!
Every element of the world contained Yin and Yang within it!
This was why Yin and Yang constituted a Heavenly Dao!
Even someone as powerful as Saint Thearch Reincarnation struggled to escape the grasp of the Yin Yang Heavenly Dao.
The Taiji Diagram, a Heavenly Dao Saint Weapon, could only manifest its full potential when wielded by Genesis Essence Spirit Yin Yang!
The power of the Yin Yang Heavenly Dao permeated every corner of the battlefield, leaving no place to hide!
Buzz! Buzz!
The Divine Punishment Sword hummed and vibrated incessantly.
Each vibration sent out blinding arcs of lightning.
To deliver Divine Punishment on behalf of the heavens—what incredible authority was that?!
Only the Heavenly Dao possessed the right to act in the heavens' stead!
A radiant sword beam manifested within the Taiji Diagram.
The Divine Punishment Sword struck downward, merging its power with the Taiji Diagram as it slashed toward Saint Thearch Reincarnation!
Despite being cornered, Saint Thearch Reincarnation showed no panic.
With a calm expression, he made a casual toss, and a dark, ancient tome appeared in the air. Its pages fluttered as if caught in an invisible wind, emitting a black radiance that held back both the Taiji Diagram and the Divine Punishment Sword!
It was the Human Book!
To be exact, it was the Human Book in its complete form, having been merged with the Book of Life and Death!
