With that single finger strike, the entire sky shattered.
And it was not rely shattered. The Creation-Devouring God-Finger carried the power to swallow heaven and earth, devouring and sweeping up all the branches within it.
“Damn it, stop!” the Celestial Vine Dao Lord roared in fury.
But Xu Zimo did not stop.
Within that single strike, the vast majority of the branches were destroyed. Even if the opponent evolved all things, it was useless.
Xu Zimo never intended to kill him with just one finger.
He closed the distance, his terrifying power surging endlessly.
His speed was extre. With a single slash, his blade plunged straight into the trunk of the Celestial Vine Tree.
All of this looked chaotic, but in truth it happened in only an instant.
“Impossible. How can you be this strong?!” the Celestial Vine Dao Lord roared.
His own flas erupted, burning the heavens and boiling the seas, his montum ferocious.
“You’re just as stupid as that Chen Cangtian. You don’t understand how vast this world truly is,” Xu Zimo said calmly.
The Shadow Tyrant in his hand swept upward, splitting the entire tree cleanly in half.
The Celestial Vine Dao Lord reverted to human form, his body drenched in blood, clearly gravely wounded.
“Patriarch,” Chen Cangtian rushed forward to support him, asking anxiously, “Are you all right?”
“Run. Go back and seek reinforcents, now,” the Celestial Vine Dao Lord shouted, shoving him away.
Chen Cangtian seed to understand sothing and imdiately fled into the distance.
“Do you really think you can escape?” Xu Zimo snorted coldly, stepping into the air to give chase.
But at this mont, the Celestial Vine Dao Lord seed to go mad, using every last ounce of strength to stop Xu Zimo.
He roared loudly.
“Vines As Fuel! Eight Desolations Ablaze!”
He actually released all the fla edict he had comprehended, using them to burn himself alive.
Billions of branches pierced through the void, sealing off the direction in which Chen Cangtian was fleeing.
Imdiately afterward, blazing flas engulfed all the branches.
A sea of fire blocked Xu Zimo’s path.
The Celestial Vine Dao Lord had gone insane, using his own life to buy ti for Chen Cangtian to escape.
But this was his only remaining choice.
Otherwise, neither he nor Chen Cangtian would escape.
Letting Chen Cangtian try to stop Xu Zimo so he could flee was clearly impossible.
…
“You think this asly fire can stop ?” Xu Zimo smiled calmly.
Flas surged around his body.
The sa roaring fire erupted, rushing straight into the sea of flas.
Almost instantly, he transford into fire itself and vanished into the inferno.
Even the Celestial Vine Dao Lord could no longer locate Xu Zimo’s presence.
When Xu Zimo reappeared, he had already passed through the fire and appeared behind Chen Cangtian.
“Run!” the Celestial Vine Dao Lord shouted in desperation.
But how could Chen Cangtian’s speed compare to Xu Zimo’s?
Xu Zimo slashed once, severing both of Chen Cangtian’s legs.
“Don’t co closer. Don’t approach . You’re a villain!” Chen Cangtian scread.
Xu Zimo grabbed him and slowly dragged him back toward the Celestial Vine Dao Lord.
At that mont, the heavens and earth fell silent.
Even the spectators watching the battle were so frightened that they dared not show the slightest displeasure.
“Look carefully. This is the fate of anyone who opposes ,” Xu Zimo said calmly.
He hacked Chen Cangtian into minced flesh with his blade and scattered it through the void.
Then he turned his gaze to the Celestial Vine Dao Lord.
At this point, after burning himself, the old ancestor was utterly weakened, with no strength left to resist.
“Wasn’t it better to just live? Why did you have to provoke ?”
The Celestial Vine Tree was torn out by the roots and brutally slain in the sky as well.
A Sage Monarch and an Infinite Dao cultivator were both dead.
They were clearly powerful beings.
Yet they seed so fragile, their lives so short, leaving many people sighing in shock.
“If anyone wants to inform the Eighteen Blade Purgatory, I don’t mind,” Xu Zimo said, looking at the crowd.
He added calmly, “Tell them this. I’ll be waiting right here in the Three Corpse Burial Ground.”
After saying that, Xu Zimo left with Ye Qingcheng and the others.
After all, their real objective was the Three Corpse Cave.
The matter of the Eighteen Blade Purgatory was, at most, just an appetizer.
But as they watched Xu Zimo’s departing figure, many people muttered to themselves, “Is the world about to change?”
“The Eighteen Blade Purgatory has suffered heavy losses this ti. They definitely won’t let this go.”
Soone nodded.
“Yes. When Chen Xuan died before, it was just a conflict among younger disciples.”
“Now even an Infinite Dao cultivator has been killed.”
“I’m afraid the Grand Desolate Heaven is about to enter a period of turmoil.”
…
“Are you really not afraid of the Eighteen Blade Purgatory?” Ye Qingcheng asked curiously.
“Why should I be afraid?” Xu Zimo was getting a bit annoyed by the question.
He said, “Do you even know my background?”
“To be honest, among the major powers and famous young elites of the Upper Heavens, I know most of them. But you’re not among them,” Ye Qingcheng shook her head.
Clearly, she had great confidence in the intelligence network of Jade Court.
That in itself was not wrong.
It was just that the True Martial Sacred Ground had not been in the Upper Heavens for very long, so Jade Court’s information lagged behind.
They were still in the process of understanding it and were not yet fully aware.
“You’ll find out in the future,” Xu Zimo replied.
“To be precise, Ruhu and I co from the sa faction.”
“Then when he encountered danger, he wouldn’t have needed to avoid seeking help and instead co to the Three Corpse Burial Ground to grow stronger,” Ye Qingcheng said.
In her heart, this only further confird her belief that Xu Zimo’s faction was weak.
But the truth was more complicated than that.
When Lin Ruhu’s incident occurred back then, the True Martial Sacred Ground had indeed declined.
Naturally, it was impossible for it to offer him much help.
The group walked and talked along the way, finally stopping before the Three Corpse Cave.
This cave was far more than a simple cavern.
It was located on a high slope, and the cave entrance alone was at least a thousand ters tall.
Inside, it was deep and unfathomable.
Dense corpse mist billowed outward.
Xu Zimo had only seen corpse mist of this magnitude before in the Middle Corpse Palace.
Aside from that, he had never encountered anything like it.
“With corpse mist at this level, once we enter, we’d probably turn into corpse puppets instantly,” Ouyang Xiu said in shock.
Ji Zhan nodded in agreent.
“You two stay outside. I never planned on taking you in,” Xu Zimo said.
He glanced at Ye Qingcheng, then entered the cave together with her and the Ancient Heaven Dao Lord.
The mont they stepped inside, overwhelming corpse mist surged toward them, violent and invasive.
The Edict of Death spread around Xu Zimo’s body.
He rged himself into the corpse mist and was not affected at all.
As for Ye Qingcheng, she took out a Night-Luminescent Pearl from sowhere.
The mont it appeared, a faint glow spread within ten ters around her, and all corpse mist automatically retreated.
As the Holy Maiden of Jade Court, it was only natural that she lacked no treasures.
Xu Zimo was no longer surprised by such things.
The Ancient Heaven Dao Lord remained hidden in the void, presumably with his own thod to avoid the corpse mist.
