Ghost King Valley was a deep valley formed by the three huge mountains around it and was steeped in dense fog the entire year. The shrubs here were almost 1-2 meters tall and it was covered in brambles everywhere while the mountain rocks were rugged and steep. Just a slight mishap could cause one’s foot to slip and make them disappear into the depthless chasm.

  The creatures of the valley were so strong that they could contend with a Crossing Tribulation Stage cultivator. As such, the place had become deserted and rarely had any visitors.

  Tang Xiu had only visited the outer sections of the Ghost King Valley during his previous visit and left quickly after obtaining the Soul Phantasmagoria Demonic Flower and the Demonic Revival Grass. This was because the strength of the fierce beasts in just the outer sections of the Ghost King Valley was as strong as his, so he didn’t dare to enter the depths of the valley.

  This time, Tang Xiu had come here as a peak-stage Supreme God and as the Lord of Myriad Realms, so he obviously held no fear at all.

  A few fierce beasts targeted Tang Xiu and surrounded him the moment he stepped into the Ghost King Valley, but he just glared at them once and continued walking deeper into the valley.

  The unfortunate fierce beasts thought a delicious prey had come to deliver itself to them, but they never thought that it was actually the arrival of their nemesis. The fierce beasts didn’t even have a chance to howl before their entire existence was wiped out by Tang Xiu’s glare.

  Learning from this event, Tang Xiu didn’t hide his aura anymore and used his divine sense to manifest eleven incarnations alongside his main body, and the twelve figures walked into the depths of Ghost King Valley directly.

  If Sacred Demon Supreme God were present, he would have definitely recognized them as the auras of these twelve’s heavenly laws and divine force were actually the same as the group of twelve Supreme Gods headed by him.

  No other fierce beast dared to block Tang Xiu’s path for the rest of his journey because of the suppression from his powerful aura.

  An hour later, Tang Xiu reached the depths of the Ghost King Valley and discovered the aura of a destructive divine force from inside.

  “The 100 Supreme God Puppets? If I obtain these 100 Supreme God Puppets, wouldn’t that mean I can take over the entire God Realm in an instant?” Such a thought emerged within Tang Xiu’s mind suddenly.

  “Greetings, Lords!” Tang Xiu had subconsciously crossed the 100-meter range of the Supreme God Puppets while pondering on the matter, so the puppets had sensed his arrival as well.

  Tang Xiu commended his wit when the 100 Supreme God Puppets surrounded him suddenly as he would have definitely entered a fierce battle with dozens of puppets if he hadn’t made prior preparations.

  Tang Xiu sighed inaudibly after looking at the blank look in the eyes of the Supreme God Puppets as well as their lifeless bodies. If it weren’t for the wicked twelve Supreme Gods, these deities would have certainly become overlords and wouldn’t have ended up in such a miserable state.

  As Tang Xiu had incarnated into the twelve Supreme Gods right now, these Supreme God Puppets didn’t show any hostility or vigilance towards him.

  Tang Xiu passed through the Supreme God Puppets and erased the soul imprints left behind by the twelve Supreme Gods and replaced them with his own soul imprints.

  Although it sounded like a simple task, it was a pretty arduous one since just a slight mishap on his end could ruin the Supreme God Puppet.

  Tang Xiu spent three whole days converting the Supreme God Puppets into his battle puppets. He was dead tired by now, as erasing a soul imprint and replacing it with his own were both extremely delicate tasks and required him to rest and recover for some time to refine just a single Supreme God Puppet. However, since he was inside the Divine Origin City, he wasn’t worried about running out of divine origin force at all.

  “It’s indeed worthy of being called the Divine Origin City. The divine origin force present here is much denser than the God Realm’s, and if it weren’t for the array isolating this place, this divine origin force would have spread to the outside world and made the entire Earth Realm much stronger than the God Realm.” After coming to the Ghost King Valley one more time, Tang Xiu had already determined that the three mountains around the valley hadn’t formed naturally and had been moved over by someone using divine force and were the key elements of the array. Furthermore, the main function of the three mountains was to prevent the divine origin force from flowing outside.

  “Huh? The divine origin force inside the Divine Origin City isn’t replenishing itself.” Tang Xiu discovered the abnormality quickly. “Is it because of the missing divinity vein mountain?”


  Tang Xiu felt relieved internally when he recalled that the twelve Supreme Gods had extracted the divinity vein to create the World Core.

  According to Tang Xiu’s speculation, it was highly likely that the divinity vein was hidden under the Divine Origin City and was the source of the divine origin force of the city. The twelve Supreme Gods had extracted the divinity vein to create a new Divine Origin City, but unfortunately, Tang Xiu was the one who picked up this windfall in the end.

  “Since the Divine Origin City and the divinity vein were a singular entity, it’s time to let them become one again.” Tang Xiu waved his hand and moved the Divine Origin City inside the World Core and placed it above the divinity vein.

  As divine origin force was the source of their powers, the Supreme God Puppets became restless when the Divine Origin City disappeared.

  Tang Xiu chuckled and received the 100 Supreme God Puppets into the World Core as well.

  After he was done with this, Tang Xiu left one of his Supreme God incarnations on Earth to handle some of the unfinished matters while his main body returned to the God Realm immediately.

  The reason why he had returned to the God Realm with haste was that his connection with the Golden Peng was becoming weaker by the moment and this gave him an ominous premonition. He obviously didn’t plan to keep staying on Earth since the members of the Great Tang Empire were all still in the Jade Pool Divine Domain.

  Right now, in the Jade Pool Divine Domain, the Golden Peng’s wings had been snapped off already and its entire body was crawling on the ground right now. A sea of corpses laid behind it, and even Drunken Immortal and the others were covered in blood right now and couldn’t even put up a resistance.

  “Golden Peng, I’m giving you one last chance. Form a master and servant contract with me and become my battle mount again, or else, the ants behind you will all die along with you,” Sacred Demon Supreme God said impatiently while directing an ice-cold gaze towards the Golden Peng.

  “Sacred Demon, you exterminated my Golden Peng Clan and deceived me for several eras. You even kept me trapped for a dozen or so eras, so do you believe I would join the ranks of a traitor like you?” The Golden Peng spat out a mouthful of foul blood after hearing Sacred Demon Supreme God’s words.

  “Since you want to continue acting stubbornly, don’t blame me for acting ruthlessly.” A vicious glint flashed through Sacred Demon Supreme God’s eyes as he swung his divine artifact at the Golden Peng.

  The Golden Peng ignored the threat and turned its head towards Drunken Immortal and the others before saying guiltily, “Forgive me for implicating you. You still had some chance to live, but you all fell into danger because of my arrival.”


  After Tang Xiu had left the Jade Pool Divine Domain, Drunken Immortal and Star Radiance led the members of the Great Tang Empire to quickly take control of the Jade Pool Divine Domain.

  The number of people that ascended through the Immortal Exuviate Pond in the Jade Pool Divine Domain kept increasing year by year over the next 100 years, and these consisted of the people from other galaxies and the Milky Way Galaxy, which included a lot of members of the Great Tang Empire.

  Under the supervision of Drunken Immortal, Star Radiance, and the others, the Jade Pool Divine Domain became more and more prosperous, and their strength also climbed up like a growing bamboo shoot. Drunken Immortal had the highest cultivation and had already become a peak-stage Heavenly God and Star Radiance had also become a Great God, while the others had also progressed their cultivation collectively.

  However, an unexpected event occurred while the members of the Great Tang Empire focused on progressing their strength.

  The leader of the twelve Supreme Gods, Sacred Demon, was someone from the Marionette Galaxy, so the Marionette Galaxy had a lot of domains under its control. The Sky Jade Divine Domain was also the domain of the Sacred Demon Supreme God, so, as its subsidiary domain, the Jade Pool Divine Domain was also a domain of the Sacred Demon Supreme God, and all the important posts of these domains were held by descendants of the Sacred Demon Supreme God.

  It was the centennial birthday celebration of the Sacred Demon Supreme God 2 years ago, so all his descendants had sent him presents to congratulate him. However, after tallying up the presents, the deity in-charge of counting them found that two presents were missing. After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that the Peargold and Pearwood brothers from the Jade Pool Divine Domain hadn’t sent presents and hadn’t even made an appearance in the celebration.

  The deity in-charge of Sky Jade Divine Domain felt infuriated after learning this and planned to dispatch the army to capture and penalize the brothers before the Sacred Demon Supreme God learned of the matter. However, when the army of Sky Jade Divine Domain reached the Jade Pool Divine Domain, they discovered that it had changed hands.

  The Jade Pool Divine Domain was on guard about the arrival of the Sky Jade Divine Domain’s army. They led the army into a maliciously prepared trap and wiped it out before it could even declare war on them.

  Two days had passed by the time the deity in-charge of Sky Jade Divine Domain realized something was wrong and the Sacred Demon Supreme God had already learned that Peargold and Pearwood hadn’t attended his birthday celebration. However, as he had too many descendants, he wasn’t bothered by this event and just passed a casual directive to punish the deity in-charge of Sky Jade Divine Domain appropriately.

  The pitiful deity in-charge of the Sky Jade Divine Domain had his life reaped by the enforcers of the Divine Palace and, before they could even figure out where their army disappeared to and once a new deity took the reins, they launched a full-on attack on the Jade Pool Divine Domain immediately.

  Although the comprehensive strength of the Jade Pool Divine Domain was weaker than the Sky Jade Divine Domain, they had prepared well to secure a victory and were also proficient in the art of war because of their ample experience. Hence, this battle actually continued for almost half-a-year.

  The new deity in-charge of the Sky Jade Divine Domain sensed something was wrong and was forced to retreat through the dangerous battlefield and reported back to the Divine Palace.

  The Sacred Demon Supreme God became infuriated after learning that someone had already taken over a domain of his and sent an aide to deal with the matter personally.

  It was also around this time that the Golden Peng returned to the God Realm. After showing the token Tang Xiu had given it, it obtained the approval and trust of all the members of the Great Tang Empire, and its strength recovered back to the Supreme God Stage rapidly by using the large number of cultivation resources that the empire had gathered.

  This led to the tragic end of the people from the Sacred Demon Supreme God’s faction who had arrived in the Jade Pool Divine Domain to deal with the issue, with each subsequent one welcoming their death.

  The Golden Peng would have already led the Great Tang Empire to conquer the Sky Jade Divine Domain if it weren’t scared of the possibility of the Sacred Demon Supreme God discovering its identity.

  The battle continued for more than a year this way and the members of the Divine Palace kept falling to their enemies in this battle. This turned the Sacred Demon Supreme God into the laughingstock in the eyes of the other four Supreme Gods, so he was forced to make a trip to the Jade Pool Divine Domain personally to find out what was going on.

  The Sacred Demon Supreme God was frightened out of his wits when he saw the Golden Peng and the master and servant contract on its body, thinking that another variable like the Free and Unfettered Supreme God had emerged in the God Realm, so he began to scheme behind the scenes.

  The cautious Sacred Demon Supreme God didn’t dare to show his face because of the fear, hid in a secret location, and kept sending large forces to deplete the Golden Peng’s divine force, coming close to killing the Golden Peng a few times. After probing for another half-a-year, the Sacred Demon Supreme God confirmed that the Golden Peng had returned to the God Realm alone and also confirmed that the master and servant contract on its body hadn’t provided any assistance to it at all.

  Chapter 1434 (END) - Myriad Realms (4): The Unstoppable Extermination of the Divine Palace, Strategizing to Unify the Myriad Realms (End)

  “Golden Peng, I’m giving you one last chance. Would you really prefer losing your life instead of surrendering to me?” The Sacred Demon Supreme God made one last attempt to persuade the Golden Peng after recalling all the years he had fought alongside it.

  “The hatred of clan extermination is absolutely irreconcilable, so stop dreaming of it!” The Golden Peng responded disdainfully.

  “You’ve failed to cherish the opportunity, I obviously won’t leave you alive anymore.” The Sacred Demon Supreme God gave up on the Golden Peng after seeing its determination and hacked down fiercely. At the same time, he closed his eyes in pain.

  In the next moment, a loud clanging sound echoed in Sacred Demon’s ears, and when he opened his eyes, he found that his colossal blade had struck the ground and an unfamiliar young man stood before him, while the Golden Peng seemed to suddenly have disappeared.

  The one who had saved the Golden Peng in this critical juncture was none other than Tang Xiu who had rushed back to the God Realm. After receiving the Golden Peng into the World Core, Tang Xiu’s gaze turned frosty when he saw Drunken Immortal, Star Radiance, and the others lying on the ground with injuries all over their bodies.

  Tang Xiu overlooked the time dilation between the God Realm and Earth. He hadn’t expected 100 years would have passed in the few days he had spent on Earth and also didn’t expect so many troublesome events to occur.

  Tang Xiu didn’t dare to imagine how the Great Tang Empire would have ended up if he hadn’t returned to the God Realm in time.

  “Young man. Who are you? And where did you take the Golden Peng?” Sacred Demon’s cautious nature began to act up after seeing Tang Xiu stand before him so boldly.

  “My identity doesn’t matter. All that matters is for me to know who you are.” After observing Sacred Demon for a while, Tang Xiu recalled his master’s reminder and smiled suddenly. Then, he said the following words, “I moved the Golden Peng into the World Core I obtained. It’s severely injured right now, so only the divinity vein inside the World Core and the spiritual medicines inside can allow it to recover quickly.”


  “What did you say? World Core? Young man, where did you find the World Core? Can you let me see it?” Sacred Demon was completely vigilant about Tang Xiu initially, but after the words “World Core,” he urged Tang Xiu to let him see it impatiently.

  Tang Xiu casually threw the World Core to Sacred Demon under his tense gaze.

  While Sacred Demon had his complete attention on the World Core and was just about to touch it, a beam of sword light appeared suddenly and bisected Sacred Demon’s body.

  “Kid! You have a lot of guts for trying to dupe me!” Sacred Demon roared in exasperation a few meters above and directed his angry gaze towards Tang Xiu.

  A young man had actually succeeded in fooling him. If it weren’t for the fact that he had a divine-grade substitution puppet, he would have lost his life already. After all the years of ruling in the God Realm, Sacred Demon had never taken such a huge loss.

  “Duping aside, I will even dare to kill you. Do you believe it?” Tang Xiu replied to Sacred Demon coldly and used his divine sense to transfer everyone from the Jade Pool Divine Domain behind him inside the World Core.

  “It’s been a long time since anyone has dared to talk to me like this, and those who did so in the past have all died. So, how do you want to die?” Sacred Demon probed Tang Xiu’s cultivation secretly as he rebuked him.

  After noticing that Sacred Demon hadn’t taken the initiative to attack, Tang Xiu immediately understood that the other side was afraid of his strength.

  The new enmity and the old enmity had accumulated, and even Tang Xiu didn’t feel like wasting time to talk with Sacred Demon, so he directly took out the demon-killing divine sword of the Free and Unfettered Supreme God and surrounded Sacred Demon instantly using the divine power of incarnation.

  “The divine power of incarnation. Are you a descendant of the Free and Unfettered Supreme God?” Sacred Demon cried out in alarm when he saw multiple incarnations of Tang Xiu surround him along with the divine artifact of the Free and Unfettered Supreme God in hand.

  Sacred Demon didn’t hesitate and contacted the other Supreme Gods in the Divine Palace immediately. “A descendent of the Free and Unfettered Supreme God has appeared along with the World Core.”


  It wasn’t that Sacred Demon didn’t wish to hog the World Core. The reason he had contacted the other Supreme Gods was that he couldn’t see through Tang Xiu’s strength. Furthermore, he had also sensed the confidence and killing intent exuded by Tang Xiu’s body. He had experienced the Free and Unfettered Supreme God’s ambushes and assassinations multiple times, so he didn’t dare to look down on him and gave his all even though he was only battling against his descendant.

  After receiving the Sacred Demon Supreme God’s message, the other four Supreme Demons teleported to the battlefield right away.

  After all, the World Core was the collective creation of the twelve Supreme Gods back then, and possessing the World Core meant full control over the myriad realms. The World Core had an endless amount of heavenly laws stored in it and also had all the treasures the twelve Supreme Gods had gathered from the primogenitor star.

  The World Core was the true Divine Palace in the views of the twelve Supreme Gods, and the current Divine Palace was just an imitation of the World Core that they had created after losing the World Core, so its size and value really paled in comparison to it.

  Therefore, the World Core held an incomparable attractive force to the twelve Supreme Gods.

  When Tang Xiu discovered that all the five Supreme Gods had gathered up, a derisive smile suddenly appeared on his face.

  In the next moment, about 100 Supreme God Puppets were released from the World Core by Tang Xiu and began besieging the five Supreme Gods under his orders.

  “Sacred Demon, you won’t die a good death. You were fully aware that the other side had laid a trap, yet you still summoned us here!”


  “Damn it! Aren’t these the Supreme God Puppets from the Divine Origin City? Why are they attacking us instead of listening to our orders?”


  “Lord, please stop attacking us! We’re willing to serve you as long as you spare our lives!”
……

  The five Supreme Gods knew they had no way out of the situation when they saw the Supreme God Puppets appear and seal their escape routes.

  If they had enough time to prepare, they would have mobilized their armies and gathered all their combat forces in the Jade Pool Divine Domain. The Supreme God Puppets brought by Tang Xiu would have had no use in that case. Unfortunately, Tang Xiu had appeared too suddenly, so the five Supreme Gods weren’t on guard against him and never imagined that he actually had so many Supreme God Puppets on him.

  Although the battle strength of a Supreme God Puppet couldn’t match a real Supreme God, their numbers were too many. About 20 of them were besieging each Supreme God, and Tang Xiu also kept sending beams of sword light at them to control their maneuvers, so the five Supreme Gods could only take a beating passively even though they were strong.

  Tang Xiu ignored the desperate pleas of the five Supreme Gods and silently ordered the Supreme God Puppets to increase their attacks while he used the space-time law to disturb the heavenly laws of the five Supreme Gods and accelerated their defeat.

  The five Supreme Gods stopped pleading after seeing that Tang Xiu was determined to kill them and began using their special skills, substitution puppets, battle mounts, divine artifacts, and consumed medicinal pills to boost their potential to the maximum. They then targeted Tang Xiu and joined hands to attack him unceasingly.

  Tang Xiu had already comprehended the heavenly laws of the five Supreme Gods and even experienced their cultivation process while doing so, and he had also analyzed their personalities clearly, so, all of their schemes were just harmless, ineffective tricks in front of him.

  This was a battle between the Supreme Gods.

  This was a battle that overturned the seas and rivers and shattered the earth and skies.

  This was a battle that was unprecedented since the creation of the God Realm.

  The five Supreme Gods were forced to reveal all their hidden aces and display their full strength since their lives were at stake here.

  On the other hand, Tang Xiu was afraid that the five Supreme Gods would flee and also feared that he wouldn’t find such a good chance to kill all five of them in the future, so he also gave his all in this battle. He even didn’t hesitate to detonate the Supreme God Puppets at some crucial moments just to prevent the Supreme Gods from fleeing.

  A wave of the sword tore the void open.

  A slash of the saber created a chasm.

  A punch of the fist produced a black hole.

  A kick of the leg sundered the earth apart.

  This fierce battle that blotted out the skies continued for five whole days.

  No one knew what this battle was about because everyone who had witnessed it had already turned into ashes.

  Five days later, the Jade Pool Divine Domain and the Sky Jade Divine Domain had been wiped out from the God Realm and all the domains of the Marionette Galaxy had almost turned into ruins, with each split into eight huge sections, reducing the size of the God Realm to a third of its initial size.

  Tang Xiu finally sighed in relief after confirming that the five Supreme Gods had truly perished from and didn’t have any traces left in this world. He only had 27 Supreme God Puppets left now and all of them were missing an arm or limb, causing Tang Xiu’s heart to ache.

  The five Supreme Gods, however, indeed had a deep foundation and a plethora of life-saving treasures as well as unstoppable escape skills and unpredictable assassination skills. If it weren’t for Tang Xiu’s cautious nature that made him maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times, it would have been impossible for him to get rid of the five Supreme Gods altogether, and he might have even died under their attacks.

  The cheers of everyone from the Great Tang Empire welcomed Tang Xiu when he returned inside the World Core along with the 27 Supreme God Puppets.

  Although they didn’t have the strength to participate in this world-shattering battle, they were able to witness the entire battle from within the World Core.

  These five days had been an emotional roller-coaster for them, and even Star Radiance and Bella had fainted from the fear a few times over this short duration.

  “Master, I thought I would have to wait for several hundred thousand years before I could avenge the extermination of my clan and might even have to harbor this grudge for my entire life, but I never imagined you would avenge my clan in just one hundred years.” The Golden Peng tapped its head on the ground before Tang Xiu several times to express its gratitude with tears all across its face.

  The Golden Peng had recognized Tang Xiu as its master only because it placed importance on Tang Xiu’s growth potential. However, Tang Xiu’s strength had completely subdued it right now.

  As for the members of the Great Tang Empire, there was no need to even say anything about them. Tang Xiu had already become someone they looked up to long ago, but even they had never imagined that Tang Xiu would become a Supreme God in just a short one hundred years and wipe out the overseers of the Divine Palace, so they didn’t even know what to say to him.

  “Senior Golden Peng, although the five Supreme Gods of the Divine Palace have perished eternally, the Divine Palace has controlled the God Realm for millions of years, so there’s no doubt that their influence is deeply rooted in the God Realm. I hope that you can take these 27 Supreme God Puppets to cleanse the entire God Realm and wipe out the remnant forces of the Divine Palace within the next 50 years. Can you do it?

  “Senior Drunken Immortal, Star Radiance, Bella. Although the Divine Palace doesn’t exist any longer, the order of the God Realm must be maintained. I need you to help me bring order to the realm and enforce the laws of the Great Tang Empire across the entire God Realm and turn it into a free, just, prosperous, and peaceful cultivation world. Can you do it?

  “Old Sycamore, Eagle. I need you to accompany me back to the Immortal World to select suitable talents and help me maintain the order of the myriad realms and recover the glory of the God Realm. Are you willing?”
……

  After recounting the events that led to him refining the World Core and becoming the Lord of Myriad Realms after gaining a peak-stage Supreme God cultivation to everyone, Tang Xiu’s expression turned solemn as a series of commands left his mouth.
