“The others may leave!” The white-robed old man raised his hand and the secret border became momentarily distorted. The West Shadow Guard and his group were cast out of the space before they could say anything.

  Then, with a change of scenery, the ladder disappeared and the white-robed old man appeared in front of everyone.

  Cultivator Junjun and the others bowed respectfully. “Greetings to you, our elder.”


  “If my guess is correct, you all must have other luck, which means I’m not that much stronger than you all!” The white-robed old man’s eyes were burning, watching everyone carefully, especially the spatula in the hands of the Food God. Then, he looked at Blackie, his eyes thoughtful.

  ‘Stronger than us all? No way, we’re definitely stronger than you,’ thought Cultivator Junjun. Then, he nodded and said, “There’s indeed luck with us.”


  “And whose secret border might that be?” asked the white-robed old man.

  “What we encountered isn’t a secret border but a powerful Master,” replied the Food God with deference in his tone. “It’s the same master who trained me under the Wisdom of Food. I wouldn’t have been able to pass your test in a million years if not for him.”


  “A living person?” The pupils of the white-robed old man suddenly widened as he said in surprise. “Where did you get this spatula?”


  “It was bestowed upon me by my Master. He has many similar treasures there!” said the Food God.

  The white-robed old man stared at the Food God. “Are they all Chaos Spiritual Treasures?”


  The Food God nodded. “Yes, all of them!”


  ‘There’s more!’ he silently thought to himself at the same time.

  “A living Elite Being. There’s actually still a living Elite Being in the Chaos!” The eyes of the white-robed old man flashed brightly as there seemed to be tears. He trembled with excitement and whispered, “There must be more to this! So many years have passed, maybe it has reached that point!”


  His eyes were bright when suddenly, he grabbed the Food God asked in a shaky voice, “Is it a woman?”


  Everyone could hear the tension and admiration in his voice. His emotion infected everyone. Vaguely, a phantom of a graceful woman appeared in front of everyone.

  The Food God shook his head and solemnly said, “It’s not a woman but a man.”


  “A man?”


  The white-robed old man was stunned. He exclaimed, “How is it possible? Who else can it be besides her?”


  “We can also testify, it’s indeed a man. Can you tell us who’s the woman you’re speaking of?” asked Cultivator Junjun.

  The white-robed old man frowned, his eyes filled with reminiscence. He said, “She’s the lord of all souls. We call her the Soul Master. She rose in the dynasty and lived in the eternal age, an invincible woman with the power to suppress the world!”


  As the white-robed old man reminisced about the endless past, the scenes in the secret border changed accordingly. Suddenly, a river appeared under everyone’s feet.

  The river was wide and had no end in sight. The current was very rapid and roared like wild beasts. Everyone felt a simple aura from it, silent but with enough power to annihilate everything, making it unstoppable and unassailable!

  This is the breath of time.

  Elder Yun’s eyes widened. His face could not hide the look of surprise. “This is the River of Time! Is he taking us back to the past?”


  The white-robed old man did not speak. He kept looking at the far distance with a deep look in his eyes.

  In the next instant, everyone went upstream along the long River of Time and entered a time during the ancient Chaos.

  The Chaos at this time did not seem to be that much different from the Chaos today. Just when everyone was looking at the surrounding environment, the chaotic space fluctuated and exuded an elite aura. The sense of dignity and fierceness made people cower in awe and become totally mind blown by it all.

  Then, a living entity walked out of the void. He…was not a human being.

  His entire body was red-gold and his figure was tall and straight, more than 30 feet high. His shoulder-length hair was purple and his eyes were a bluish-purple with double pupils inside. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate everything!

  The moment they saw him, the muscles of Cultivator Junjun and others tensed suddenly, as if they had seen a natural enemy. Their hearts were full of hatred and caution.

  At the same time, the opposing party’s powerful pressure also made them feel a little uneasy.

  “He’s a creature of the Eldritchs and he feeds on the monks’ mana and Dao,” said the white-robed old man.

  The Eldritch creature held a baby in his hands, flying through the Chaos, passing one world after another. Finally, after choosing a world, he threw the baby into that world.

  The baby sank into the ground in the most central position of the stars, absorbing the nutrients of the world. As time went by, the River of Time jumped forward by 100,000 years.

  The star began to decay and the aura withered. With the Dao emotions lacking, the life span of the creatures in that world was greatly reduced when their life force was sucked away. By then, the baby had grown up and was a teenager of 15 or 16 years of age.

  Another 10,000 years passed and the world became one without any living things. Billions of creatures and not one trace of life could be found. It had finally become an abandoned star in the vast Chaos.

  The baby had grown up to be close to two meters, walking out of the abandoned stars, looking for a new world in the Chaos.

  “The Eldritch creature devours vitality so that it can feed on the monks’ mana and Dao. Once it appears, it’ll bring great calamity and it’ll be the enemy of all living creatures in the Chaos!” emphasized the old man in the white robes. His tone was deep with hatred.

  Everyone nodded at the same time. They did not know much about the Eldritchs before, but now they finally understood why they were seen as a catastrophe. This was a race that viewed monks as their food!

  That meant the Chaos had been a farm all along!

  Suddenly, an overbearing and holy aura rose across the endless distance. The power to suppress the world was transformed into a slender hand in the void.

  The child showed fear and wanted to avoid it but found itself unable to. The slender hand patted the child and immediately annihilated it in the River of Time.

  The next moment, the space in the Chaos trembled and three Eldritchs walked out quickly, exuding an extremely cold murderous aura as they angrily besieged and killed the woman.

  These three Eldritchs’ cultivations went against Fate. Every move made was unbearable, even to the Chaos, and a hole appeared from where each attack landed, annihilating the creatures of all worlds.

  Although they could not see the woman’s face clearly, they could not help but feel that she exhibited unparalleled grace at that very moment.

  It was three against one but she made it all seem so effortless. She was covered with a layer of shining white light as if she was born to be the protagonist between heaven and earth. She was not going to retreat from the three Eldritchs’ attacks. Instead, she would suppress them!

  Chaos in the world and a war broke out.

  Cultivator Junjun and others witnessed this battle from countless years ago. Although they knew it had nothing to do with them, the hair on their bodies still stood up uncontrollably and all they felt was shock.

  In this kind of battle, forget about intervening or watching from a close range. They could not even bear the slightest residue from the attacks.

  At this moment, the woman did not retreat but moved forward. She stepped forward and willingly entered the trap they laid out for her. Then, she raised her slender hand and a black flag appeared in her hand!

  The pitch-black flag unfurled with the wind. Even though there were no patterns on it, it gave off the feeling there were countless words printed on it, like a mirror of the Chaos.

  At the moment the flag appeared, the three Eldritchs’ expressions changed drastically before they offered their weapons, one after another. At the same time, they retreated violently.

  The woman held the flag in both hands and started waving!

  With the first wave, Wisdom flowed out like water, transforming into terrifying ripples spreading in all directions, slashing on the weapons of the three Eldritchs and annihilating them.

  Without giving them time to react, with the second wave that came immediately afterward, a ripple like a big formless hand appeared and smashed everything in its path into a million pieces.

  The three Eldritchs were horrified and were instantly annihilated by the force, forever gone.

  However, the woman did not stop waving the flag as it continued to dance, igniting the sun, the moon, and the stars across the chaotic worlds. It released a wave of Wisdom, spreading to every corner, causing the Chaos ocean to boil!

  The entire Chaos seemed to be empty with only the figure of the woman waving the flag. Suddenly, the Chaos started to vibrate and began to change drastically!

  The Chaos Ocean was actually pushed out by her!

  A 100 feet, a 1,000 feet, 10,000 feet!

  The entire Chaos expanded because of her!

  “So, this is the lord of all souls, the Soul Master!” said Elder Yun with awe.

  “She’s so powerful.”


  The Jade Emperor gulped some air and felt his blood burning with fervor.

  In his life, he had the honor to witness two drastic changes!

  The first time was when the expert used an infinite amount of Chaos Thunderbolt and created the Area of The Gods with the spirit rain brought on by the thunderstorm.

  The second time was now, witnessing a graceful woman, wanting to buck against the trend, expanding the Chaos for the sake of all the creatures in the Chaos with the waving of her flag. All this happened in the time before there was anything.

  It was an indescribable feat! A miracle of the Chaos!

  The most powerful of them all… as it should be!

  Just when everyone was intoxicated, the woman suddenly turned her head and looked in their direction.

  Vaguely, everyone seemed to see a pair of eyes before them.

  What a pair of eyes indeed! They were as clear as water, holy and noble. Not one pair of eyes in all of the Chaos could hold a candle to them. All words fell short to describe them.

  ‘Can she see us?’ wondered everyone.

  The woman’s eyes saw through the endless river of years, condensed all that happened in the endless road, and fell on everyone.

  Everyone’s mind became blank and the River of Time began to roar, speeding up its current and bringing everyone out.

  The scene in front of them dissipated and a voice floated into their ears.

  “Come…and…find…me!”


  “Go and find her! Did you hear that? The Soul Master asked us to find her!”


  Everyone had returned to the present and found it difficult to calm their hearts which were going up and down like ocean waves. Their breaths were ragged.

  “She’s still alive! I knew it! How could the Soul Master be eliminated so easily!” The white-robed old man shouted in excitement, his eyes fixed on the crowd. “It must be the Soul Master who’s about to be born again. There will be major events happening. Go find her, quickly!”


  “Are you not coming with us?” asked Elder Yun.

  “I’m just a strand of a broken soul, coexisting with the secret border. I’ll soon dissipate.” The white-robed old man shook his head without any sadness on his face. With a wave of his hand, a long black sword suddenly shot out from the depths of the secret border and floated above the void.

  The long sword exuded a bloodthirsty aura, raring to attack. Even the space around it was unable to withstand the pressure as one crack after another started forming.

  The sword aura was mighty, and like a black hole, shattered everything in its path! Even light could not escape it!

  Ultimate Slaughter Treasure! It was the Swordsmanship of the Ultimate Slaughter Treasure!

  Everyone felt a sense of horror while looking at the sword.

  The tip of the sword was stained with a few drops of blood and waves of terror radiated from it, making it truly horrifying to look at.

  “This sword is called the Sword of Slaughter! It was conceived from the Chaos, imbued with the Dao of Slaughter with death accompanying it.” The old man in white robes looked at the long sword, and with a soft light in his eyes, he proudly said, “I’ve killed two elite members of the Eldritch with this sword!”


  Everyone’s heart jumped while looking at the blood-stained on the long sword with awe.

  The white-robed old man waved his hand and the long sword appeared in front of the Food God. “Since you’ve passed my test, this sword should naturally be given to you. It contains the heritage of my swordsmanship!”


  After a pause, the old man continued, “However, your cultivation of the way of food is far from my way. This heritage is not suitable for you.”


  The Food God understood and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll only follow the path that’s suitable for me. I’ll find a suitable person to inherit this sword once I’m out of here.”


  It was all due to the expert’s effort he was able to obtain this sword. He dared not be greedy so he made up his mind to hand this sword to the expert once he was back. As to whom the expert wanted to pass on this sword to would be totally up to him. He would accept his decision unequivocally.

  Besides, what was so great about inheriting this sword anyway? Was it not better to train under the expert?

  “Thank you.” The white-robed old man smiled and thanked him! “By the way, this token is our original token. It should be able to help you sense the location of the Soul Master. This matter mustn’t be delayed. Please, make it your priority!”


  He became very solemn and said while sighing, “I can only help you out this much.”


  Everyone stayed quiet and felt bleak.

  “Leave now.” The white-robed old man waved them away nonchalantly.

  The scene in the secret border once again changed to its original appearance with a forest, a small wooden house, and a few playful animals moving around. It was a picture of serenity.

  The white-robed old man turned around and entered the wooden house. Then, the secret border began to disappear with the wind.

  Everyone’s body shook slightly. Then, they bowed respectfully. “Farewell to you, our elder!”


  Meanwhile, outside the secret border, the West Shadow Guard’s face was sullen. The rest of the group stood guard around the secret border, waiting for the Food God and the others to come out.

  “So what if they inherited the Elite Being’s power? All that belongs to them would be mine in the end!”


  The West Shadow Guard’s eyes flickered with cold light. The tension in his body became heightened and he said in a deep voice, “Set up a formation. Kill them immediately once they’re out!”


  The Left Messenger was fearfully watching all this from the sidelines. She did not want to stay there at all because she was terrified and wanted to run away.

  However, whenever she went to persuade the West Shadow Guard, he would roar at her with fury. “You weren’t the one who ate sh*t so you don’t understand the pain we’re going through right now! Those people must die today!”
