Chapter 1806: 1806

“Oh no!”

Bu Fang’s face flickered. It never occurred to him that Soul would self-detonate to open up a gap. The six Great Soul Overlords had blown themselves up, and so was the Cursed Goddess. These were all beings who were very close to Soul God. Did he not feel any pain for their deaths?

Bu Fang’s face grew unsightly. He steadied himself, took a deep breath, and turned his gaze to the distance. There, Soul God had finally pulled his foot out of the cosmic barrier, like a fish that had jumped out of the pond and dived into the great ocean.

Rumble!

At this moment, the entire Primitive Universe began to tremble violently. Sect Leader Tongtian’s expression changed drastically, while the faces of the other almighty experts turned extremely unsightly. Did they fail to stop it after all?

…

On the wall, a mighty aura exploded out from the Daoist who held a horsetail whisk, enveloping the whole Hangu Pass and blocking the terrifying aura that kept falling from the sky.

Houtu, Sun Wukong, and many immortals and deities were staring at the distant sky with blank faces. There, the heavens and earth were shaking, and a dreadful dark cloud was spreading fast. Just the sight alone made their hearts race. It was as if a monstrous being had stepped into this world.

“The calamity has begun…”

Taishang Laojun’s face was gloomy as he sighed, flicked his horsetail whisk, and shook his head. They failed after all. They had sent all their almighty experts, yet they were unable to stop the great demon from the Soul Demon Universe. Their home would soon turn into a living hell.

“Prepare for the battle of life and death…”

Taishang Laojun’s voice echoed throughout heaven and earth. The faces of the immortals and deities on the walls flickered, then grew hard and resolute. In the end, they could not avoid this battle. Houtu looked sad, and Duchess Nightmare sighed.

“We’ve failed even with Bu Fang… Perhaps this is the inevitable trend of the cosmos…”

Duchess Nightmare shook her head. Why did the Great Path of the Primitive Universe turn a blind eye to what was happening? Was it really so ruthless? Everyone knew that the Great Path was ruthless, but if it stayed aloof when its people were facing death… What was the point of keeping this kind of Great Path, then?

…

Bu Fang’s face was unsightly. Soul’s self-destruction was not what he had expected because he did not think she would do that, or rather, he thought Soul God would stop her. But no. Nothing. Soul God just watched as she self-detonated.

In fact, the self-explosion of Soul and the six Great Soul Overlords was the result of Soul God’s instigation. Bu Fang knew that very well. Now that they had blown themselves up, Soul God would not be able to save them from the nothingness even after he broke free of the barrier.

One’s soul was wiped out after the self-explosion. Even if some almighty expert could reconstruct Soul, she would not be the same person again.

Bu Fang could feel Soul’s attachment to Soul God, but it had become the reason for her demise. He had no good feelings about her, but this kind of death still made him emotional.

Soul God was ruthless, and so was the Great Path of the Primitive Universe. Perhaps ruthlessness was a requirement for becoming a supreme being like them.

‘Only by being ruthless could one climb to the top?’ Bu fang frowned. He was a little confused. If the ultimate goal was to be ruthless, then it contradicted the path he chose. Could he really reach the top with this path, then?

ROAR!

Bu Fang did not have time to ponder further as Soul God had finally broken free!

Sloth burst out laughing. He exchanged a blow with Whitey. The impact shook the starry sky and caused the puppet to shiver. Taking the opportunity, the Great Soul Overlord sped away and came to Soul God’s side.

“My lord!” Sloth called out excitedly.

Soul God stood in the starry sky, his body as huge and tall as the star. He turned his empty face slightly to Sloth. In the distance, many Soul Demons cheered with excitement. Their God had finally descended, and under their attack, this world would soon turn into their paradise!

Soul God raised his hand. He was somewhat muddle-headed, or rather, his consciousness was somewhat blurred. Slowly, his body shrank and turned into the faceless man Bu Fang had met in Void City. However, he had his lower body this time. He had legs, though he was still faceless and single-armed. The only things he was missing now were his head, his right arm, and his heart.

Perhaps Soul God’s arrival had attracted the Great Path’s attention that its rumbling sound gradually dwindled. After all, his power was far beyond this realm.

Tongtian, Yuanshi Tianzun, and the others were relieved when the pressure brought by the Great Path was gone, but their hearts grew even heavier now, for Soul God had descended into this universe.

Suddenly, the Great Path turned into a purple dragon and rushed toward Soul God, slithering across the starry sky. It did not target him just now because he was only crossing the barrier between two universes, but now that he had come into the Primitive Universe, it was a different story.

Soul God looked up and lifted his single arm. The power of Great Sins exploded out. He was much stronger than when he was crossing the cosmic barrier.

Behind him, the seven hourglasses burst apart, and the barrier vanished. Even then, the power of the Great Sins exploded out of his arm and materialized into a black spear, colliding with the purple dragon that was actually the Great Path!

RUMBLE!

A power stronger than the Chaotic Energy surged and shook the starry sky. The faces of all the almighty experts fell, while Soul God looked up at the Great Path and sneered.

“You are the Primitive Universe’s Great Path, and I am the Soul Demon Universe’s Will. To be honest, you are one level higher than me… But as the Great Path, you are ruthless. You are in charge of the world’s order, and the replacement of the living beings in the universe has nothing to do with you…” Soul God said.

His voice, which was emitted by vibrating his soul, seemed to be coming from behind a thick curtain. The faces of all the experts in the universe flickered. The replacement of the living beings? How could he be so rampant?

Tongtian’s expression was ugly. “You’re uttering nonsense!” he roared at Soul God and raised his hand. The sword array was formed in an instant, then shot toward Soul God with four swords in it.

Soul God was not bothered. He did not even move when the sword array cut him—he was not hurt at all. Then, the energy of the Great Sins swept out and knocked the four swords flying away.

“What do you think the Great Path is? It is also made of the will of some expert. Perhaps he was watching with a gentle smile on his face as you grew up many years ago… But what about now? He no longer cares about your survival. You risk your lives to defend your universe, but the Great Path only obeys the rules!”

Soul God laughed. “This is destiny… This is the ultimate path for all experts! If you wish to stand on top of the universe, you have to be… ruthless, even if the price of that is loneliness!”

The clouds that were the Great Path gradually scattered. Soul God raised his empty face and pointed his only arm to the distance where Hangu Pass and the boundless Primitive Sphere stood!

Yuanshi Tianzun turned pale, and so did the Buddha and Lady Nuwa. They could not allow that to happen!

A mighty aura exploded. Yuanshi clutched his great axe with both hands as a tremendous amount of Chaotic Energy gathered at the axehead. Lady Nuwa’s eyes shone, her body glowed with the dazzling light of merit, and her colorful stone radiated a blinding light.

The Buddha, on the other hand, was chanting. Countless Buddhas and Arhats appeared behind him and formed an array, while the big bell was ringing, its sonorous sound echoing across the starry sky.

“It’s too late!” Soul God’s hoarse voice rang out.

Bu Fang was frowning. What Soul God had just said made him think. ‘To become the strongest, one had to be ruthless… Is this Soul God’s path? The Great Path of the Primitive Universe is the will of some expert… Did he choose the same path of ruthlessness?’ He sighed and felt a little depressed.

The attack of the almighty experts struck Soul God. The level of his life was too advanced. Although he had not collected all his body parts yet, he stood at the peak of the perfected realm. As a result, the attack did not hurt him.

As the immortals and deities in Hangu Pass watched in despair, Soul God’s power of the Great Sins spread, blotting out the starry sky. Yuanshi Tianzun and the others struggled to resist the power, for it was not weaker than that of the Great Path!

Even though Soul God was not complete, he was already able to suppress them. How were they going to fight him? They felt a sense of helplessness washing over them.

After suppressing these almighty experts, Soul God turned to Hangu Pass once again. He ignored Bu Fang, who was deep in thought. Then, his will exploded out as if he was summoning something.

Rumble…

The Primitive Sphere began to shake. Suddenly, the ground crumbled as a rift split across it, spreading further and further into the distance. Hangu Pass was trembling as well, then a crack appeared in the center, growing larger as rubble fell away.

All the immortals and deities in the city were shocked.

Soul God waved his hand. The Primitive Sphere crumbled even faster, and the air was filled with a rumbling sound. It was as if something terrible was about to rush out from under the ground.

Bu Fang was awakened by the violent tremor. He glanced over his shoulder and was shocked by what he saw. Whitey hovered at his side, its purple eyes flickering, while Foxy and Shrimpy perched on his shoulders.

It looked like the end had descended on the Primitive Sphere. The ground was crumbling, the flood was rushing in all directions, and mountains were collapsing. Across the boundless land, the Saints of the Great Path guarding human cities unleashed their aura and resisted the invasion of the natural disasters with great power.

In the Celestial Court, the Celestial Emperor ordered his generals and soldiers to enter the Primitive Sphere and resist the disasters. However, such resistance was futile. As the ground kept tearing apart, dreadful power exploded out. It was the real end of the world!

Soul God’s aura was shaking. He was very excited because he knew he was about to make a full comeback. Suddenly, he paused slightly as he heard the rumbling sound of the Great Path in the distance.

Bu Fang, Tongtian, Yuanshi Tianzun, Lady Nuwa, and the other almighty experts heard that as well, and they all turned to look in that direction.

There, a colossal figure appeared, his legs slightly parted as he thrust his arms up into the sky to support the crumbling Primitive Sphere with his burly body.

At the sight of the man, the eyes of Yuanshi Tianzun and the other almighty experts gleamed. Bu Fang, on the other hand, was shocked. ‘Who is that? His aura is truly fearsome…’ At this moment, all the immortals and deities in Hangu Pass cheered with excitement as they recognized the towering figure as Pangu, the Ancestral God of the humans!

The Will of the Great Path turned into chains and wound around the colossal body of the almighty expert. They tangled with each other and bound up the crumbling ground and the collapsing starry sky.

Eyes shining, the towering being looked up at the sky and fixed his gaze at Soul God.

“How dare you try to suppress me again?! My return is inevitable!” Soul God growled. The void exploded as his power of the Great Sins turned into fine black strings and shot out, piercing one Soul Demon after another.

Sloth was stunned. The next moment, his forehead was pierced by a black string stretching out of Soul God’s body. All the Soul Demons’ bodies, as well as their true forms, began to wither as black energy rushed out of them, flowed along the strings, and went into Soul God.

Soul God’s aura skyrocketed. The tremendous amount of energy boosted his aura so much that it seemed to be breaking the starry sky.

As the true forms of thousands of Soul Demons danced in him, he dropped to his knees and bowed at the vast Primitive Sphere in the distance!

At the bow, Pangu’s body trembled slightly, and the chains that were the Great Path shattered. Suddenly, a huge head with closed eyes jumped out from the crumbling ground!
