“Hahaha, behold my power!” The old pavilion master laughed maniacally, indulging in his own power. With only a thought, he could turn the entire fourth dimension upside down. Not to mention, this was only the power of one dimension. Having the ultimate power meant being in control of all seven dimensions. At that point, he would have the fate of all beings in the palm of his hands, earning their worship for eternity. He was obsessed with reaching this goal.

  He looked disdainfully at the frosty woman in front of him. ‘She’s nothing but an ant. One puff and she’s gone.’


  His pupils constricted when he saw Daji slowly raising the kitchen knife. It was an unremarkable kitchen knife, but different from ordinary kitchen knives. It was made from a crafting technique that had never been seen before. Even he, a master of the dimension, could not see what the material was.

  “Oh well, it’s still a kitchen knife. It’s not as if it can turn the situation around,” ridiculed the old pavilion master, his voice like booming thunder.

  His huge palm strike was on its way to Daji, and it was getting closer and closer as the powerful force overflowed. Before it fell, the land had beneath it had already collapsed and the soil was gone, forming turbulent Wisdom that raged into a storm.

  Under this power, any power seemed insignificant, and Daji seemed to be just a weak star point, insufficient and insignificant. However, the kitchen knife in her hand gleamed with an unquenchable glow, just because there was a sentence engraved on the handle of this kitchen knife—’A bit of coldness is long, using everything between heaven and earth as ingredients!’


  Under this kitchen knife, everything was food!

  “You might seem powerful but those aren’t your powers. Therefore, you’re weak in my eyes!” said Daji calmly. “Kitchen knife technique, Pao King butchers the cow!”


  She slowly waved the kitchen knife and an invisible aura shot out of the void!

  “This… This is…” The old pavilion master’s body trembled. There was fear in his voice and a chill ran up his spine. He felt a powerful force approaching him, a force enough to make him perish there and then.

  “This is impossible! What did you do?” roared the old pavilion master while trying to accelerate the falling speed of the giant palm. However, he suddenly found that he could not control the palm at all. His body was separating into two different parts! One was a white-haired old man, and the other was the Origins of the fourth dimension.

  “No! The Origins and I are one. This is impossible. Give it back to me! Give it back to me now!” screamed the old pavilion master shrilly. His eyes nearly exploded with anger. He chased after the Origins maniacally but was blocked by an invisible force, making him unable to approach it.

  He looked at Daji sharply and asked, “Why is this happening? What kind of knife technique did you use?”


  “Pao King butchers the cow, skinning and deboning,” replied Daji.

  It was the fable of Pao King butchering a cow. After three years of butchering, he could easily and flawlessly butcher any part of the cow. In Daji’s eyes, she had already seen everything about the old pavilion master, and the old pavilion master was not the old pavilion master, but the combination of an old man and the Origins. Therefore, she separated the two with her kitchen knife.

  One cut, and the aura that was terrorizing the world dissipated, and in the void, the old man and Origins froze. Waves of strange auras began to surround the heaven and the earth, and the Origins gradually scattered away.

  ‘Kitchen knife technique? Kitchen knife technique!’ The old man’s face was filled with disbelief. Never in a million years would he expect to be defeated by a kitchen knife… One that was wielded by a woman at that. ‘Where did all these monsters come from?’


  Suddenly, Daji’s gaze condensed and she quickly grabbed the Origins of the fourth dimension. Endless ice spread through the area, freezing the Origins. A roar came out of the Origins. It condensed into an attack that shattered Daji’s ice.

  “Pao Ding butchers the cow, ripping, and refining!” The kitchen knife in Daji’s hand spun vigorously, and then swiftly cut down on the Origins. Wisps of gray mist emerged from the cloud of Origins. With a slash, this gray mist filled with the unknown separated from the Origins.

  Daji’s expression became serious and she stopped what she was doing. She frowned and said, “That explains why the Origins of the fourth dimension would commit these sins. It’s been contaminated by Heaven! I was too careless and slow. Some of the unknown dispersed with the Origins of the fourth dimension! This is bad…”


  At this moment, Lord Angel and the others limped over in embarrassment and bowed at Daji respectfully from a distance.

  “Thank you, Goddess Daji, for saving the fourth dimension. We bow to you in gratitude,” said Lord Angel sincerely.

  “Goddess Daji, you’re not only the savior of our Angel Clan but the savior of the entire fourth dimension. Your merits are endless and all seven dimensions are blessed to have you,” said War Angel.

  “Thank you, savior! Thank you, savior!” said the other angels as they bowed down to her.

  She was accustomed to receiving flattery like this on account that she had been with Lin Nianfan long enough. She calmly asked, “Do you know this person?”


  Only then did Lord Angel look at the old man. His eyes widened and he exclaimed, “Cultivator Tianji?!”


  War Angel was also surprised. “He’s the old pavilion master of the Heaven Mystery Pavilion. He’s supposed to be dead!”


  Back then, the Eldritchs invaded the fourth dimension and Cultivator Tianji was the one who drove them away. At the same time, he also gave his own life under the witness of the entire fourth dimension.

  Cultivator Tianji was in a state of mania. He looked at everyone and shouted, “Dead? I was dead, but through my good fortune and heaven-defying skills, I was able to postpone it. I won’t die until I reach the pinnacle of all seven dimensions!”


  “You used to be so pure-hearted. How did you end up this way?” asked Lord Angel with complicated eyes.

  “I shed blood for the fourth dimension, and the entire fourth dimension was saved by me. Of course, everything should belong to me! What’s wrong with that? In addition to the fourth dimension, I also want the entire seven dimensions! Power, where’s my invincible power, return my power to me!” shouted Cultivator Tianji maniacally.

  His eyes were red, and he was jumping on the spot like a madman. At the same time, he was trembling as white hair began to grow all over his body.

  “There’s no saving you now that you’ve been contaminated with the unknown.” Daji shook her head and ice shot out from her fingers, instantly freezing the Cultivator Tianji into an ice sculpture.

  Then, she looked at Lord Angel and others. She hesitated a little before she raised her hand at them. Immediately, a stream of light appeared in front of Lord Angel.

  “This is donkey-hide gelatin made by the expert. It’s good for replenishing your blood and strengthening your body. Use it to treat your injuries.” After receiving three high-quality donkeys, Li Nianfan had extracted the gelatin from their hide. He knew the gelatin was good for women’s consumption. There were many of them living in the four-part architecture after all.

  The hearts of Lord Angel and others jumped wildly and their faces were full of ecstasy. Anything bestowed by the expert had always been extraordinary. They had not heard of donkey-hide gelatin before but this just made it even more precious in their eyes. It must be something only the expert could produce. They were confident that the donkey-hide gelatin would not only heal their injuries but advance their cultivation as well.

  “Thank you, Goddess Daji. We, the Angel Clan, will serve the expert with all our hearts!” said Lord Angel.

  “We’ll grow more beautiful feathers to give to the expert!” said War Angel.

  Daji nodded and said, “There are still some traces of the unknown floating around the fourth dimension. I’m afraid that it’ll cause some disaster so be careful.”


  Now, there was a portal connecting the third, fourth, fifth, and seventh dimensions. The combined number of beings was enormous and there were many skilled fighters from all over the seven dimensions in the third dimension. It was only a matter of when, not if, a disaster would arise from the unknown.

  “Rest assured, Goddess Daji, that we’ll all be very careful,” said Lord Angel solemnly.

  Daji nodded, turned around, and shot out across the void, leaving a trail of frost in her wake.

  Not long after Daji and Lord Angel left, the space near the Heaven Mystery Pavilion began to fluctuate. Several people emerged silently. They became shocked after looking around their surroundings.

  “What a terrifying power. Even a trace of it is enough to frighten me,” said one of them.

  “What happened here? We can even sense the energy fluctuation from a dimension away. It must be the pinnacle of power. I must get my hands on it,” said the other.

  “It must be the legendary power of Origins. Whoever gets their hand on it will have dominion over all seven dimensions. The Wang family must get a share of it!” said the leader of the group. His eyes were burning with naked ambition.

  Suddenly, a cloud of gray unknown mist brushed past them, causing them to jerk as an odd look flashed across their eyes.

  “Merge with me and I’ll tell you how to get your hands on the Origins of a dimension.”


  Another group of people appeared after this bunch of people left.

  “So, this is where the Heaven Mystery Pavilion is. What happened here? What could have possibly caused the earth-shattering power to rise?”


  “I thought they were having a party to share the Origins. How did it end up like this?”


  “There’s a trace of Origins here. I’ll be very powerful if I get it.”


  “I’m so glad I didn’t jump on their invitation. I was right to be cautious.”


  “Even the angels’ palace was razed to the ground.”


  “They discovered a portal to the fifth dimension under the angels’ palace and rumor has it that the Origins of the fifth dimension manifested itself.”


  “The dimensions are falling into chaos!”


  “The more chaotic the better. It’s only times like this when a hero like me can shine!”


  The fourth dimension’s commotion had spread to the third, fifth, and seventh dimensions, attracting many skilled fighters. An undercurrent was surging, and for a time, all powerhouses suddenly rose one after another, on standby, ready to stir the situation at any time.

  Meanwhile, in the River of Time, the Soul Master and Elite King were still weaving through the endless waves. They went upstream, witnessing what happened in the endless years, looking for their own past. Ordinary people would already have lost themselves if they spent the same amount of time inside the river as they did. However, there was still no confusion in their eyes as if something was calling and guiding them.

  Compared with before, the Soul Master had become way stronger. During this journey, there were other clones of her along the way. Her strength returned, fusing with each incarnation, pushing her closer and closer to when she was at the pinnacle of all power. At the same time, she had also regained some of the memories that she had lost. It was the same for the Elite King. He became more alive as he witnessed his past.

  The graceful Soul Master walked majestically on the waves and she suddenly asked, “Elite King, do you remember what happened at the last battle during the catastrophe?”


  “Nope,” said Elite King hoarsely.

  “Me neither.” There was deep thought in her eyes as she solemnly said, “The memory of the last battle seems to have been forcefully wiped out, or…maybe we were the ones who did it to ourselves! But why would we ever do that?”


  Thinking of this made her anxious. Regarding the last battle, she could only remember the part where she drove away the Eldritchs and chased after them into the Chaos Ocean. As to how and by whom the Eldritchs were defeated by, she had no memories of that whatsoever.

  She only vaguely remembered that she saw an eye! If an opponent could erase their memories, that meant that he or she could wipe them out, too. Therefore, the only logical conclusion was that they were the ones who wiped out their memories. Moreover, the Soul Master had left a series of clones in the River of Time as a backup.

  They continued to go upstream and were nearly at the time where the catastrophe happened. Then, they would be able to see for themselves what happened exactly then.

  “We’re nearly there.” As they neared, the Soul Master’s tone fluctuated. She suddenly raised her hand and patted the River of Time under her feet.

  The huge waves went soaring to the sky, and between the splashes of water, a projector-like screen gradually rolled out. Then, they saw moving images of the sky shattering while the power of terror raged on. Ultimate spells bloomed, domineering and unparalleled, stirring up the Wisdom and kicking up a storm everywhere.

  It was the time of catastrophe alright. The Nine Elites headed by the Soul Master led all the skilled fighters of all the seven dimensions to a fight to the death against the Eldritchs! Each of the Nine Elites’ demeanors was extremely stunning. They paved the way with Wisdom, chanting as they walked, and even until now, they were unbeatable!
