Henghai Provincial City.

At the eastern foundation of the Construct Wood Great Formation.

Su Shanyue and Zhang Yi stood shoulder to shoulder, facing the Hua Di God.

The Hua Di God's gaze landed on Zhang Yi's face. After sizing her up for a moment, he said, "So you're the little girl Zhang Qiming has been searching for?"

Zhang Yi snorted and immediately took her stance, releasing the aura of her cultivation. "I don't know who else is looking for me, but I know that right now, you are the one I'm looking for!"

The Hua Di God smiled faintly. "To have already reached Half-step Earth Immortal at such a young age, your future accomplishments will be limitless. It's a pity you're about to die here!"

Just then, Ning Shuichen, ranked eighth on the Heavenly Ranking, stepped forward with the Innocence Sword. "Leave him to me," he said. "You two are responsible for destroying the foundation."

"Senior Ning..." Su Shanyue looked at him, her face filled with worry.

Ning Shuichen took a deep breath, instantly entering a mysterious state. His gaze fixed calmly on the Hua Di God. "Facing an Earth Immortal such as yourself, I can likely only manage a single strike. But this strike will shake the heavens and the earth!"

Disdain filled the Hua Di God's eyes. "Then you vastly overestimate yourself. In my presence, you don't even have the right to draw your sword!"

...

「At the southern foundation of the Construct Wood Great Formation.」

Lin Xiyue, Xu Qianqing, Mu Xueyan, and Yang Zhilu stood side by side, confronting the Moon Dog God.

"A mere four Mahayana cultivators dare to delude themselves into fighting a god?"

Lin Xiyue slowly drew her sword and said coolly, "I have seen a true god. So you should know exactly what kind of fraud you are."

Xu Qianqing's eyes glinted with scorn. "Stop putting on this divine act. We didn't come here to listen to your nonsense."

The Moon Dog God roared with laughter, his body suddenly erupting with a powerful cultivation aura. He then locked his gaze onto Xu Qianqing. "A member of the Chu Family... I happened to know your ancestor, Chu Yun."

At his words, Xu Qianqing's brows furrowed slightly. "Does that mean you're a contemporary of my ancestor?"

The Moon Dog God said, "I must admit, Chu Yun was a genius the likes of which is seen only once in a millennium. He managed to step into the Emperor Realm and shatter the void to enter the Upper Realm. However, he died a miserable death."

Xu Qianqing asked, "Did he die because of your Holy Boi Religion?"

The Moon Dog God replied, "You could say that. His talent far surpassed that of the Holy Boi Religion Ancestor—his own brother, Chu Yiguan. Therefore, he had to die."

Xu Qianqing's gaze turned glacial. "Perfect. Then today, I will avenge my ancestor."

The Moon Dog God looked at her with a smirk. "Then let me witness this Wicked Tenderness Technique of yours."

...

「At the western foundation of the Construct Wood Great Formation.」

The Ageless Beauties and Yaya stood shoulder to shoulder, facing the Manifesting Light God.

Dou Dou held a black umbrella in one hand and the broken sword from the Ancient God Ruins in the other. "I am Dou Dou!" she announced proudly. "I do not kill the nameless. State your name!"

The Manifesting Light God, however, remained expressionless. He said nothing, clearly having no intention of humoring her.

Yaya, one hand on her hip and the other holding the Acne-Removing Divine Hoe, chimed in, "Qin Xiaodou, stop wasting your breath. Let's just finish him off!"

"Alrighty!"

Dou Dou stepped forward. "Watch me use the Lightning Five Continuous Whips to take care of him in one go!"

...

「At the northern foundation of the Construct Wood Great Formation.」

The four demons—Kuang Pi, Xiao Luanzi, Yao Ritian, and Lei Luan—stood proudly in the void, looking down at the Vermilion Sun God below.

Kuang Pi's expression was grave. "This one doesn't seem simple."

Xiao Luanzi scoffed. "What's so difficult? He's just one Earth Immortal. Let's get this over with!"

Yao Ritian declared, "I want one of his legs!"

Lei Luan advised, "Don't be careless. Let's end this quickly."

...

「Beneath the Construct Wood.」

Chen Xuanbao stood atop a radiant coffin, currently merging with the Heavenly Azure Battle Puppet. Seeing Di Xuanji and Lin Jianlong approaching, his expression was one of mild resignation.

"It seems I was too naive. Those four wastes failed to stop you."

Di Xuanji stopped and asked, "How do you wish to die?"

Chen Xuanbao gave them a faint, mocking smile. "I remember when you two were called the 'golden boy and jade girl' of the Henghai Battlefield... How nostalgic those times were."

Lin Jianlong asked, "What does this war mean to you?"

Chen Xuanbao declared, "To welcome the descent of the Holy Boi Religion God and cleanse this filthy land."

With that, he turned to Di Xuanji, a sly smile on his face. "You've met Chu Qingchan, I presume? I imagine she told you a great deal."

Di Xuanji slowly raised the Xuanyuan Sheath in her hand and asked again, "How do you wish to die?"

Chen Xuanbao smiled. "If I am fortunate enough, I would like to see the legendary Xuanyuan Sword."

Di Xuanji's entire body erupted with golden Dragon Qi, and the roar of a dragon instantly thundered through the void. "You are not worthy of dying by the Xuanyuan Sword!"

...

「Capital of Hua Country.」

「Imperial Palace.」

Watari Kagura emerged from the void. With a gentle wave of her hand, Sun Li fell unconscious. She then turned her attention to Xia Chan on the hospital bed.

"Lady Kagura, how did you..."

Watari Kagura cut her off, speaking coolly, "Tell me everything you know."

Xia Chan watched her and asked, "Whose side are you on?"

Watari Kagura replied, "This is the world that fool, Ji Gu, wanted to protect. If it is to be destroyed, then I will be the one to destroy it."

Xia Chan's gaze sharpened. Staring at Watari Kagura, she said, "You aren't Lady Kagura... Who are you?"

Watari Kagura slowly extended a hand. "If you won't talk, I'll have to read your soul's memories."

A moment later, Watari Kagura retracted the hand she had placed on Xia Chan's forehead. She flicked a drop of blood into the air, and mysterious runes instantly materialized in the void.

After a long while, the runes vanished.

Watari Kagura murmured, "So it's that boy. Killing him should be enough to stop this so-called 'Earth-Slaying Calamity'."

...

「Tomb of Civilization.」

Luo Xiu slowly opened his eyes, a tiny spark of electricity flickering within his pupils.

"Kid, did you do it?" Master Ping asked, hurrying to his side.

Luo Xiu slowly rose to his feet. "I did."

Great Qian of Tai'a exclaimed in disbelief, "Gods, how many days has it been? You've already comprehended a Divine Skill! Little Master Luo, you're truly incredible!"

Master Ping analyzed, "If my guess is correct, this should be a thunder-attribute Divine Skill. You happen to have a Thunder Path Physique, and on top of that... you possess Holy Blasphemy. That's why you were so fast."

Luo Xiu was curious. "It's related to my Thunder Path Physique, I get that, but what does it have to do with Holy Blasphemy?"

Master Ping chuckled. "Previously, when I was using your essence blood for the Essence Blood Manifestation Art, I discovered the marvel of Holy Blasphemy. You could say that Holy Blasphemy is your innate Divine Skill, just like the Vermilion Bird's Heavenly Vermilion Sword of Ten Thousand Prisons."

He continued, "Even though you've forgotten it in this life, Holy Blasphemy is fused with your very being. It still influences you, even when you're unaware of it. The most direct proof is that ever since you were a child, you've learned everything quickly."

Hearing this, Luo Xiu nodded. It was true, just as Master Ping had said; he had always been a fast learner.

Master Ping smiled. "It's not that your aptitude is exceptional; rather, Holy Blasphemy *is* your aptitude."

Da Qian interrupted impatiently, "Enough, you damned bottle! Stop rambling and get to the point!"

Master Ping asked, "Luo Xiu, what's this Divine Skill you've comprehended? Can it get you back to Earth?"

Luo Xiu sighed and shook his head slightly. "It's Space-splitting Divine Thunder. It lets me perform short-distance spatial leaps or transfers, just like the one the Three-Star Great Emperor used. But it can't take me directly back to Earth from here."

At this, Master Ping let out a sigh of his own.

Luo Xiu looked up at the pitch-black void overhead. "It seems the only way is to go up from here and see if I can get back."

"You cannot go back."

Suddenly, a cold voice echoed from the void.

Luo Xiu's brow furrowed. He knew that voice well.

The void twisted, and a graceful figure slowly stepped out, appearing before Luo Xiu.

It was Watari Kagura.

Holding the Demonic Blade Muramasa, Watari Kagura regarded Luo Xiu calmly. "The Earth-Slaying Calamity has begun," she said. "I have come to stop it."

Luo Xiu was confused. "And to stop it, you came looking for me?"

Watari Kagura stated, "Killing you will stop the Earth-Slaying Calamity."

Luo Xiu was baffled. "Why?"

Watari Kagura explained, "Because you are the one they call the Holy Boi Religion God. The Upper Realm arranged this Earth-Slaying Calamity with you as its final objective."
