Eternal Sacred King Chapter 3374: Suppression of Divine Punishment

The five Genesis Essence Spirits were chilled to their core as they perceived the shift!

Working in unison, the five of them were currently locked in a stalemate against Saint Thearch Reincarnation. At this stage, the powers were so evenly matched that a clear victor had yet to emerge.

The equilibrium would undoubtedly shatter if another Heavenly Dao Saint Thearch entered the fray!

This meant that regardless of which side Su Zimo chose, his involvement would likely decide the winner of this supreme clash between Saint Thearchs!

The very destiny of the trichiliocosm hung in the balance of this confrontation.

“Desolate Martial!”

Genesis Essence Spirit Yin Yang suddenly called out, “Reincarnation is consumed by boundless ambition. Should you assist his victory, the trichiliocosm will be plunged into an inescapable doom!”

Having ascended as a Heavenly Dao Saint Thearch, Su Zimo remained remarkably composed. He observed the battlefield of Saint Thearchs with a calm gaze, showing no urgency to strike.

The power of choice was now firmly in his grasp.

There were still mysteries he sought to unravel.

Su Zimo remarked, “Reincarnation intends to eliminate the Saints of the world to establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation, ensuring that virtue is rewarded and vice is punished. If that truly is his goal, it is not without merit.”

Genesis Essence Spirit Divine Punishment spoke with a heavy, resonant voice, “His hunger exceeds the lives of the Saints. He seeks the annihilation of Great Saints and even us, the Genesis Essence Spirits!”

“When the six of us governed the trichiliocosm, we provided a system of checks and balances,” Genesis Essence Spirit Ancestral Fire interjected. “Once we are gone, Reincarnation will rule without rival, and that will surely spell catastrophe for the trichiliocosm!”

Genesis Essence Spirit Space Time added, “The Immeasurable Calamity of All Beings poses no threat to us. We would never have interfered if Reincarnation only sought the destruction of the Saints.”

Su Zimo gave a slow nod of understanding.

This revealed the true catalyst for the ancient war between the Saint Thearchs.

He had previously wondered why the Genesis Essence Spirits would fight if the Immeasurable Calamity of All Beings could not touch them.

The realization hit him: the true threat was not the calamity itself, but the existence of Saint Thearch Reincarnation!

“How did the Chaos Green Lotus and Saint Thearch Life meet their end?”

Su Zimo questioned further.

In the ancient war, the five Genesis Essence Spirits held the upper hand and likely would have emerged victorious eventually.

However, it should have been impossible for the five of them to utterly erase the Chaos Green Lotus and Saint Thearch Life from existence.

Beings on the level of Heavenly Dao Saint Thearchs were equivalent to Genesis Essence Spirits. To be completely extinguished, a far superior power would have to be involved!

Yet, no such power existed within the trichiliocosm.

Unless…

“In that ancient conflict, Chaos, Life, and Reincarnation were unable to overcome us even together,” Genesis Essence Spirit Nirvana explained. “When Chaos and Life realized their cause was lost…”

Nirvana paused momentarily, his expression flashing with a chaotic mix of emotions—loathing, fury, resentment, and even dread—as if he were reliving a nightmare.

Taking a slow breath, Genesis Essence Spirit Nirvana continued, “In their final moments, Chaos and Life combined their might and chose to strike at the trichiliocosm itself! They were the true madmen!”

Su Zimo was momentarily stunned before the pieces fell into place.

Upon his ascension to a Heavenly Dao Saint Thearch, he had felt the subtle fractures permeating the entire trichiliocosm.

Those scars were the remnants of the assault launched by the Chaos Green Lotus and Saint Thearch Life against the fabric of the universe.

While their power was insufficient to completely demolish the trichiliocosm, they didn't need to.

Their objective was merely to wound the universe!

Since the five Genesis Essence Spirits were born from this cosmos, these irreparable cracks meant their own internal injuries could never truly heal.

In contrast, Saint Thearch Reincarnation had attained his status through personal cultivation. Consequently, he was immune to these hidden flaws.

Seeing no path to victory, the Chaos Green Lotus and Saint Thearch Life chose self-sacrifice. They gave their lives to weaken their enemies and clear a path for Saint Thearch Reincarnation, preparing for the clash of Saint Thearchs in this era!

Only the ancient, evolved power of the trichiliocosm itself possessed the strength to fully destroy the Chaos Green Lotus and Saint Thearch Life.

As they spoke, the violent struggle between Saint Thearch Reincarnation and the five Genesis Essence Spirits raged on.

Su Zimo turned his attention toward Saint Thearch Reincarnation.

Unlike the five spirits, Saint Thearch Reincarnation remained silent, offering no pleas for assistance.

In Su Zimo’s heart, he felt that Reincarnation’s original path might not have been entirely flawed.

To create a world of true justice by eliminating all Eternal Beings, the five Genesis Essence Spirits naturally had to be removed.

If he spared the Genesis Essence Spirits while slaughtering the Saints, he would be no different from the Saints who oppressed common life.

Yet, he too was an Eternal Being.

What would he do once the five spirits were suppressed?

Su Zimo could not be certain.

Perhaps Saint Thearch Reincarnation would eventually transform into an even more terrible threat.

Regardless, Su Zimo would not side with the five Genesis Essence Spirits to kill Reincarnation based on a mere suspicion.

Moreover, it was the five spirits who had previously attempted to end his life, while Saint Thearch Reincarnation had intervened to save him!

His future actions remained a mystery.

But for now, Su Zimo had no reason to stand against Saint Thearch Reincarnation.

“Desolate Martial, why do you delay?!”

Genesis Essence Spirit Nirvana roared.

Dong!

The Chaos Bell chimed in a thunderous reply to Nirvana’s shout.

Through that resonant sound, Su Zimo’s intent was made clear to the five Genesis Essence Spirits, and their hearts plummeted!

Boom!

The Chaos Bell, hovering above Su Zimo, suddenly plunged into the fray, intercepting Genesis Essence Spirit Yin Yang and Genesis Essence Spirit Space Time!

Even though they shared the rank of Heavenly Dao Saint Thearch, the five spirits were burdened by ancient wounds.

Su Zimo, currently at the zenith of his power as a Heavenly Dao Saint Thearch and wielder of the Chaos Heavenly Dao, held his own against two opponents simultaneously without faltering!

On the other front, Saint Thearch Reincarnation, who had been struggling against five, now faced only three. His burden lightened instantly, and his presence surged with terrifying intensity!

He pushed the Heaven, Earth, and Human Books to their absolute peaks, masking the firmament and turning the cosmos upside down as he unleashed the full might of the Cycle of the Heavenly Dao!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The collision of Saint Thearchs was a world-shattering event.

The chaos wasn't limited to the major chiliocosm; even the medium and minor chiliocosms were shaken as disasters began to manifest everywhere.

The vast majority of beings in the trichiliocosm were oblivious to the cause. They could only stare in horror at the crimson sky and the falling rain of blood.

Within the major chiliocosm, the brutal war between Saints and Great Saints persisted, growing ever more gruesome!

Saints fell one by one as the battle ground on.

Even the Great Saints were drenched in blood and riddled with wounds!

The five Saint Lords were reaching the end of their endurance.

A flickering flame of hope still burned within them.

They prayed for the five Genesis Essence Spirits to triumph on their battlefield, just as they had in the past!

“Ah!”

Suddenly, a scream of pure agony echoed across the major chiliocosm.

It was the voice of Genesis Essence Spirit Divine Punishment!

Ultimately, the three spirits could not withstand the focused onslaught of Saint Thearch Reincarnation. Divine Punishment was first pinned down by the Earth Book.

The Human Book followed up with a devastating strike, leaving Divine Punishment severely wounded before the Heaven Book descended to consume it!

Genesis Essence Spirit Divine Punishment fought desperately within the Heaven Book, but it was futile. It was utterly suppressed and finally destroyed by the artifact!

With the suppression of Divine Punishment, the Heaven Book erupted with a blinding radiance, crackling with lightning as its power and aura surged to new heights!

Originally, the Heaven Book was a record of the 3,000 Great Daos.

Now, it contained a true Heavenly Dao—Divine Punishment!

Simultaneously, a new page manifested in the Human Book.

While each existing page of the Human Book cataloged an entire race, this new page held only a single entry: Genesis Essence Spirit Divine Punishment!

Likewise, the Earth Book had feasted upon the soul of a Genesis Essence Spirit!

The strength of the three books skyrocketed following the fall of Genesis Essence Spirit Divine Punishment.

The three Heavenly Dao Saint Weapons—the Heaven, Earth, and Human Books—continued their terrifying evolution!
