When a person grows strong enough, he starts to style himself a god.

Yet no one can truly be a god utterly devoid of emotion and desire.

Powerful as the Eternal Life God was, he harmed his wife and killed his daughter, thinking he had discarded those contemptible feelings and truly become a emotionless god.

But when he finally discovered he was nothing but a pitiful bug being toyed with, he still couldn’t avoid an enormous emotional upheaval, his psyche collapsing.

This collapse was not merely psychological, but a complete overthrow of every path he had walked before.

So his so‑called divine path, which he had always been so proud of, had actually been arranged for him, laid bare and clear, from the very beginning.

"Aaahhh——!!"

He let out a roar of unwilling despair, and his Primordial Spirit together with his Heavenly-level Infinite Power were completely Devoured into the frost maw formed by Shakyamuni, causing Shakyamuni’s Momentum to grow ever stronger amidst his maniacal laughter. The suction released by that great maw also grew increasingly fierce; not only were Bai Suzhen’s Primordial Spirit and Earth-level Mahavira being pushed back step by step, even Jiang Dali’s Primordial Spirit and more than half of the Power Level Mahavira Power in his Body were being sucked out.

"Hahahahaha——none of you can escape! None of you can escape! And your Mahavira as well, Jiang Dali—this god wants it too, this god will gladly take it all!"

The huge frost face of Shakyamuni let out peals of wild, arrogant laughter, the suffocating aura around him surging and pressing down ever heavier.

Blood gushed in streams from the cracks tearing open across Jiang Dali’s Body as he struggled bitterly to resist.

But now, no matter how strong his Spirit and Will were, after battle upon battle he was already mentally and physically exhausted; he could no longer maintain his Primordial State, his Momentum began to plummet, and the Mahavira shrouding his whole Body also started continuously flowing outwards.

"Roar!!"

At this critical moment, the Fire Qilin beneath him kept letting out soul-shaking bellows, even actively unleashing its own Fire Spirit Power, turning it into an immense, unfathomable force that poured through Jiang Dali’s Body like a thousand rivers, flooding into his meridians to form a support.

"Wong wong wong——"

The Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber in his hands kept humming and trembling.

Jiang Dali’s eyes suddenly bulged wide; with a long howl, he straightened both hands and hacked down viciously with the long saber.

Sword Skill——Fire Qilin Devour!!

"Roar!"

A blazing burst of fire exploded outward the instant the long saber slashed forth; all the Demonic Qi across Jiang Dali’s Body instantly merged into that erupting fireball, and his Demon Intent State dropped from level 10 straight down to level 9.

That fireball instantly turned into a massive Fire Qilin-shaped Saber Qi, filled with a savage, furious aura. Its four hooves pounded madly as it charged into the sky, ramming straight at the frost face hanging in midair.

"Stubborn!"

The frost face in midair snorted coldly, utterly Bu Ju as it rammed down at the same time.

A thunderous boom!

Firelight and frost shattered simultaneously into fragments.

The enormous frost face was blown apart.

The Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber in Jiang Dali’s hands was also blasted flying amid a shrill metallic vibration.

Amid the violently surging Qi Force, a black‑clothed figure with hair hanging loose and wearing a Mystic Ice Mask slowly drifted down. He spread his hands, five fingers splayed, releasing a blinding yellow Primordial Spirit Light, and the suction he unleashed instantly grew even more terrifying as he sneered:

"None of you can escape from the palm of this god!!"

"Jiang Dali, you run!!"

At that desperate instant, Bai Suzhen suddenly let out a crisp shout; her Primordial Spirit and Earth-level Mahavira, which had been desperately resisting, suddenly spun once in midair and then swelled, erupting a blast of Qi Force that slammed hard into Jiang Dali’s Body. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

In that instant, the half‑severed Primordial Spirit and Power Level Mahavira of Jiang Dali were knocked back into his Body.

Whereas Bai Suzhen’s Primordial Spirit and Mahavira shot even faster straight toward the Shakyamuni wearing the Mystic Ice Mask.

"Hahahaha!——what a touching scene, but none of you are getting away!!"

Amid Shakyamuni’s triumphant, villainous laughter, Bai Suzhen’s Primordial Spirit and Earth-level Mahavira plunged straight into the blinding yellow glow in his palm, Devoured into his Body and vanishing without a trace.

"Bastard!!!"

Jiang Dali roared, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood.

But before he could do anything more, that still‑cackling Shakyamuni suddenly let out a muffled groan of shock; the yellow Qi Force spraying from his hands abruptly collapsed, and his Body began to twist and convulse in agony as though in spasm.

"What... what’s happening?"

Shakyamuni’s Body writhed as he cried out in pain, and beneath his black clothes his Body was suddenly surging with a blinding white radiance.

That was clearly the Mahavira of the Eternal Life God and Bai Suzhen.

The Heavenly Mohe Unlimited and the Earth-level Mahavira were actually in conflict with each other.

Seeing this, Jiang Dali suddenly came to his senses. Bai Suzhen had told him long ago that the Earth-level Mahavira she created was meant specifically to counter the Heavenly Mohe Unlimited of the Eternal Life God.

So these two forces were Mutually Exclusive rather than mutually reinforcing; even a simple collision would trigger a huge clash. Now that Shakyamuni had forcibly fused and Devoured them into his own Body, it was only natural that an even greater, more terrifying conflict would erupt.

And the most terrifying outcome that conflict would ultimately evolve into was——an explosion!

"No! No! No! There is no power this god cannot control, none! Since this god has already swallowed it, I will never spit it back out!"

Shakyamuni twisted his Body in midair into all sorts of grotesque poses, howling wildly, the Energy fluctuations radiating from him utterly terrifying. The massive rocks tumbling down around him were blasted to dust before they could even get close to his Body.
