“Supreme Wa, activate the ritual array and protect yourself!” Gu Hai shouted, executing the Ninth Cycle.
The attack tore space as it rushed at the Six Paths Veritable Lord.
“Humph! Five-colored divine light!” The Six Paths Veritable Lord flung out a hand, and overwhelming five-colored divine light rushed over.
Boom!
The saber and the light clashed, causing space to shatter explosively. The Six Paths Veritable Lord attacked with his other hand. However, the Life Trapper Saber at Gu Hai’s side trembled.
Buzz!
A Disintegration Beam descended from the sky.
The Six Paths Veritable Lord frowned as he raised his head to look up. Then, he punched with a ferocious expression.
A manifested fist soared into the sky, looking powerful and invincible.
Boom!
The tears in space grew larger. The manifested fist in the sky shattered, but the Disintegration Beam was completely exhausted, while the manifested saber and the five-colored divine light canceled each other out.
“Your punch?” Gu Hai’s face sank.
Previously, Gu Hai could not bear to use the Disintegration Beam against the water deity body, as he knew how strong it was. That was the power of the law. However, just one manifested fist from the Six Paths Veritable Lord canceled it out?
“Law? The law you are driving comes from external aid. As for my body, it is already as strong as a law. Yours is a natural law, but mine is a solipsistic law,” the Six Paths Veritable Lord sneered.
“Solipsistic law? A body strong enough to surpass all laws?” Gu Hai’s face sank.
“I have no duty to explain it to you!” the Six Paths Veritable Lord sneered before his figure flashed.
In the next instant, he strangely appeared beside Ensnaring Performance, Purple Subtlely, and Longevity. Then, he extended his hand to grab them.
This instantaneous change startled everyone into changing their expression.
“Metal Dao!” Ensnaring Performance sent out millions of sword qi at the Six Paths Veritable Lord.
“Wood Dao!” Longevity shouted, and millions of vines burst out and charged at the Six Paths Veritable Lord.
“Disintegration Beam!” Gu Hai extended his hand and called down a Disintegration Beam.
Boom!
A loud report rang out, and the entire Eastern Sea shuddered.
Ensnaring Performance and Longevity fled in terror, using the power of their laws to escape the black holes.
The Six Paths Veritable Lord again shattered the Disintegration Beam with a punch.
However, the Six Paths Veritable Lord grabbed Purple Subtlely’s neck with his other hand. Then, his figure instantly moved into the distance.
“Release Purple Subtlety!” Ensnaring Performance and Longevity yelled.
“How fast!” Gu Hai’s expression changed.
“Let go of me!” Purple Subtlety said with horror on his face.
“Let’s go? Haha! I have not grasped the earth laws yet. How can I let you go? Wait until I swallow you first!” The Six Paths Veritable Lord smiled coldly.
“Swallow me? Humph! Let’s see how you are going to swallow me. Transform!” Purple Subtlety roared.
Whoosh!
Purple Subtlety’s body suddenly turned soft. The Six Paths Veritable Lord initially held him by the neck, but the Six Paths Veritable Lord could grip nothing now. It felt like his neck had turned into mud, slipping out from between the fingers.
“Oh? Transforming to your true form? I would like to see what the earth-attributed divine beast looks like,” the Six Paths Veritable Lord said out of curiosity.
“Oh! Purple Subtlety transformed. There’s no need to worry now!” Ensnaring Performance suddenly smiled.
“I thought that he would never transform in his life. Hahahaha! Six Paths Veritable Lord, let’s see how you will eat him now!” Longevity laughed confidently.
Gu Hai was initially planning to help. When he heard Ensnaring Performance and Longevity laugh, he felt confused. Is Purple Subtlety’s true form very powerful?
Purple Subtlety transformed in the distance, changing from human form to divine beast form. However, this divine beast appeared bizarre. He turned into a mountain of black mud.
The mud mountain looked extremely disgusting. However, a pair of eyes gleamed with a black light at the top of the mountain. More importantly, the mud mountain gave off a foul stench.
Even when far away, Gu Hai’s expression unconsciously stiffened. Is this an excrement mountain?
“Purple Subtlety is a sludge spirit, the great filth of the world. When it took form back then, it did not have intelligence. It caused trouble everywhere, swallowing and corroding the experts it met to grow stronger. Later on, Heaven restrained it and gave it intelligence. Then, Heaven assigned it to protect all life to atone for its past sins. Heaven gave it the earth laws, resulting in the Purple Subtlety of today,” Longevity explained.
“Huh? Sludge spirit? There is such a divine beast?” Gu Hai’s face stilled.
Far away, the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s expression congealed after Purple Subtlety transformed. He instinctively stepped back and flung away the sludge on his hand with some disgust.
“Go on and eat! Six Paths Veritable Lord, come and eat me!” Purple Subtlety roared as it surged towards the Six Paths Veritable Lord.
As it approached, a powerful stench rushed over.
“Scram, you damned thing!” The Six Paths Veritable Lord threw a palm strike.
Boom!
A palm strike landed on Purple Subtlety’s body. A loud sound rang out as the mud mountain deformed. However, how could mud fear being deformed? It instantly recovered from the blow.
“Again! I no longer fear you now that I’m in my true form. Don’t you want to eat me? Go on and eat!” Purple Subtlety charged at the Six Paths Veritable Lord, wanting to disgust the Six Paths Veritable Lord to death.
Blargh! The Supreme Wa dry retched far away.
Eat? Who could even bring Purple Subtlety to the mouth? Even from so far away, the Supreme Wa felt so disgusted that she nearly vomited, what more eating it?
After Purple Subtlety noticed its true form disgusted everyone, it charged forward cockily. It even turned into a giant mud net to catch the Six Paths Veritable Lord. It seemed like it wanted to swallow the Six Paths Veritable Lord and digest him.
Get eaten by a mountain of excrement?
“This is too disgusting!” Hetu also dry retched in the distance.
“Purple Subtlety, be careful!” Gu Hai shouted, his expression changing. Then, he swung his saber again.
Gu Hai saw the disgust in the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s eyes disappear, replaced by faint anticipation.
Dirty? Disgusting? These were just appearances. To experts, as long as something could raise their strength, its appearance was irrelevant.
“Hah!”
The Six Paths Veritable Lord roared and opened his mouth. A powerful suction appeared.
“What?” Ensnaring Performance’s and Longevity’s expressions changed.
Even Purple Subtlety felt stupefied. The Six Paths Veritable Lord really dared to eat it?
“No!” The expressions of Ensnaring Performance and Longevity as they tried to charge forward.
Gu Hai’s Ninth Cycle arrived.
The Six Paths Veritable Lord punched.
Boom!
The Ninth Cycle and the manifested fists that Ensnaring Performance and Longevity threw exploded.
Whoosh!
The Six Paths Veritable Lord immediately swallowed Purple Subtlety.
“No! No! Purple Subtlety? You ate Purple Subtlety?!” Ensnaring Performance’s expression changed dramatically.
Buzz!
The Six Paths Veritable Lord’s Daoist robes turned brown. Faint brown energy in the air connected with him.
“The earth laws? They are truly strong. Unfortunately, Purple Subtlety does not know how to use them. Hahahaha! Mud sea!” The Six Paths Veritable Lord waved his hand.
Boom!
The mud for millions of kilometers under the sea immediately surged into the sky, forming a sea of sludge that poured toward everyone.
At this instant, it seemed like all the sludge in the world had coalesced.
“Disintegration Beam!”
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The Disintegration Beam descended, vaporizing plenty of the sludge. However, that was like a drop in the sea. There was so much mud it overwhelmed the sky.
Boom! Boom!
Ensnaring Performance and Longevity attacked the mud sea, but the mud sea quickly recovered from the palm prints they left.
“Earth laws? Why are they so strong?” Ensnaring Performance said in shock.
Far away, the Six Paths Veritable Lord showed a ferocious expression. “The earth laws are indeed more powerful than the five-colored divine light. Humph! There are still the metal and wood laws, right?”
The Six Paths Veritable Lord looked at Ensnaring Performance and Longevity.
Now, the sludge sea was omnipresent, encircling the area and leaving no place to escape to.
“Fly to the sky! Head for the sky! Quick!” Gu Hai shouted.
Boom! Boom!
Ensnaring Performance and Longevity immediately turned into two beams of light shooting up.
“Flee? There is nowhere for you to flee, above or below. After I consume you five divine beasts, no one can stop me. Hah!” the Six Paths Veritable Lord roared, and the overwhelming mud sea immediately poured over, trying to cover Ensnaring Performance and Longevity.
“Ninth Cycle!” Gu Hai swung his saber down.
“Humph! Gu Hai, your meager skill is insufficient. The Ninth Cycle cannot even break my mud sea!” Six Paths Veritable Lord snorted coldly, ignoring Gu Hai.
Boom!
The Ninth Cycle struck the mud sea, and the mud sea trembled as plenty of it got blasted off. However, the sludge did not care about this. The blasted parts quickly recovered.
The Ninth Cycle was simply useless against this soft mud. The mud sea could be the world’s best defense.
It looked like Ensnaring Performance and Longevity above would be caught.
Buzz!
The Six Paths Veritable Lord suddenly discovered that the world had turned crimson—including his mud sea.
Whoosh!
Many demons charged out of the crimson mud sea and rushed at him.
The Six Paths Veritable Lord’s figure paused, but he immediately realized what had happened.
“What an incredible bloody illusion! I nearly fell for it. Break!” the Six Paths Veritable Lord shouted coldly, and the mud sea trembled.
Boom!
The crimson world shattered. In that instant, the Life Executioner Saber approached.
The Six Paths Veritable Lord punched.
Boom!
The manifested saber shattered, and Gu Hai moved ten meters back.
The Six Paths Veritable Lord looked at Gu Hai coldly and saw the Life Executioner Saber in Gu Hai’s hand while a crimson saber hovered beside him.
“The Life Killer Saber?” The Six Paths Veritable Lord’s eyes turned cold.
Boom! Boom!
Up in the sky, Ensnaring Performance and Longevity broke through the mud sea and flew out.
“Gu Hai, you truly have plenty of treasures. It looks like I can also consume you along with the divine beasts. Hah!” the Six Paths Veritable Lord roared and charged at Gu Hai.
A suction came from the Six Paths Veritable Lord, and his hand sent out boundless sludge.
“Ninth Cycle!”
Boom!
Gu Hai swung his saber and blocked the suction. However, the boundless sludge dissipated most of the force from the manifested saber. He moved back and rushed toward the sky.
“You can’t flee!” the Six Paths Veritable Lord sneered as he soared up with the overwhelming sludge.
“Disintegration Beam! Ninth Cycle!”
Gu Hai repeatedly sent down Disintegration Beams and attacked with the Ninth Cycle. However, they were useless against the Six Paths Veritable Lord. This was especially so after the Six Paths Veritable Lord consumed Purple Subtlety. The Six Paths Veritable Lord used the earth laws to their limits, instantly dealing with all of Gu Hai’s attacks in a domineering fashion.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The chain of attacks failed to damage the Six Paths Veritable Lord. He continued chasing Gu Hai into outer space.
You can’t escape!” the Six Paths Veritable Lord sneered.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
Everywhere the Six Paths Veritable Lord went, the sludge sea swallowed the stars it encountered and corroded them into sludge. The sludge sea he controlled grew incredibly large. His strength rose infinitely.
Below, Hetu looked at the mud sea that was more than ten times larger than the sky and despaired. “The Six Paths Veritable Lord grew even stronger. It’s over for Gu Hai!”
“No! Gu Hai laid a trap in outer space. It might work,” the Supreme Wa said worriedly.
