Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 8: Chapter 111: The Ferocity of Essence Genesis

Essence Genesis Hall’s plaza:

Bai Zizai, Gu Hai, Ba, Zhu Erer, and Jiangchen all narrowed their eyes.

Ming’s methods are utterly perplexing. Another curse? Can someone truly curse the sun? Just where is he from?

The faction leaders in the surroundings had fallen silent long ago, quietly observing this clash among peak experts. A sense of helplessness surged within them as they realized that before these freakish beings, they were akin to untrained novices.

“How can this be?” Zhu Liuliu was dumbfounded.

Did he just ask the sun to ignore me, and the sun actually did? It’s as though he is the sun’s creator.

“It’s impossible. The sun’s core flames can only be invoked by my vermilion bird race. How can you sever my connection with the sun’s core flames?” Zhu Liuliu glared sullenly at Ming.

At this moment, Zhu Liuliu dared not underestimate Ming any longer.

“Who said so? The Yan Heavenly Emperor behind you can also invoke the sun’s heart flames. I heard she recently underwent a baptism with the sun’s core flames and metamorphosed as a zombie ancestor,” Ming said with a smile as he glanced at Ba across the plaza.

Zhu Liuliu turned to look at Ba and then back at Ming.

Unlike Zhu Liuliu’s previous clash with Gu Hai, Ming had hardly attacked him. Yet these seemingly insignificant methods inspired an overwhelming sense of powerlessness in Zhu Liuliu. When Gu Hai defeated him, it had been with Gu Hai’s own strengths, but now, Ming was leveraging the strength of his vermilion bird race. Defeating someone by exploiting their weaknesses was an entirely different concept from defeating them through their strengths.

“Sixth Younger Brother, that’s enough. Stop causing trouble and stand behind me!” Zhu Erer called from not far away.

Zhu Liuliu also understood that continuing to fight Ming would only net him further humiliation. However, to stand there as if he were of the same status as the group of imperial dynasty emperors?

How could Zhu Liuliu be willing?

He glanced around the six seats.

I don’t seem to have a chance of victory against Ming, Jiangchen, Gu Hai, and Ba. On the other hand, it is not appropriate for me to act against Bai Zizai and my second elder brother.

However, am I to just stand like a fool? How could Zhu Liuliu be willing?

Would it kill your Myriad Age Daoist Sect to prepare one more seat?

Creak!

At this moment, the doors of Essence Genesis Hall swung open.

Sha immediately bowed towards the entrance, and all the Myriad Age Daoist Sect disciples followed suit.

It was clear that Essence Genesis was about to make an appearance.

Everyone’s expression grew solemn, and they collectively turned their gaze towards Essence Genesis Hall’s entrance.

Even Jiangchen and Ming put down their teacup and wineglass. Gu Hai, Ba, Bai Zizai, and Zhu Erer’s expressions became serious.

Only Zhu Liuliu remained standing in the center of the six seats, looking extremely awkward. The silence that surrounded him emphasized his clownish appearance.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The sound of heavy footsteps echoed from inside Essence Genesis Hall.

Then, a white-robed Essence Genesis emerged slowly. With each step, the earth seemed to tremble slightly, as if struck by a heavy blow, yet the ground remained unscathed.

“Force resonating with the ground? Essence Genesis has grown stronger again?” Jiangchen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Essence Genesis strolled out of Essence Genesis Hall, his gaze still icy. A small golden dragon coiled around his left arm, its head resting on the back of his left hand, emitting wisps of golden mist.

“Hetu?” Gu Hai, not far away, recognized the identity of the golden little dragon.

“Greetings, Essence Genesis!” The various faction leaders all bowed slightly.

Essence Genesis’s gaze remained cold as he surveyed the crowd. Then his gaze swept over the six seats. Although his eyes remained indifferent, there was a subtle change in his demeanor.

Only the six individuals in the seats were viewed as equals. As for those standing, Essence Genesis maintained a condescending attitude.

Zhu Liuliu felt increasingly uncomfortable at being looked down upon by Essence Genesis.

Why? This great me was only a little late and has yet to snatch a seat.

“Essence Genesis, right? Add another seat for me!” Zhu Liuliu demanded.

Gu Hai and Ba showed strange expressions. Is Zhu Liuliu a professional troublemaker? Now, he is making demands of Essence Genesis?

Essence Genesis glanced at Zhu Liuliu and then turned away, completely ignoring him as if he were invisible.

This outright snub infuriated Zhu Liuliu.

Having just suffered setbacks at the hands of Gu Hai and Ming, Zhu Liuliu was already seething with anger. Even Essence Genesis is treating me with disdain? Does he think I really am on the same level as those trash?

“Essence Genesis, I’m speaking to you. Do you hear me?” Zhu Liuliu shouted coldly.

This was a blatant provocation of Essence Genesis. Not far away, Zhu Erer wanted to intervene, but it was too late. Essence Genesis suddenly turned, his gaze icy as he locked on to Zhu Liuliu.

Unlike Ming, Essence Genesis was not easygoing. His cold gaze held a murderous intent.

Boom!

There was a loud sound, and before anyone could figure out what had happened, Zhu Liuliu appeared before Essence Genesis with Essence Genesis’s hands around Zhu Liuliu’s throat.

“What?” Everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

What had just happened? In the blink of an eye, Zhu Liuliu ended up in Essence Genesis’s grip?

This sudden attack even made Ming’s and Jiangchen’s faces sink. Clearly, Essence Genesis’s strength was beyond their expectations.

“Stop, Essence Genesis! What are you doing?” Zhu Erer stood up from his seat, his face filled with shock and anger.

“Let…cough! Cough!…go of me!” Zhu Liuliu gasped with horror on his face.

Not only did the faction leaders’ eyes widen, but even Zhu Liuliu himself could not believe it. In just a moment, Essence Genesis had his hands around Zhu Liuliu’s throat, sealing Zhu Liuliu’s energy. How is this possible?

“Let…let go of me! If you don’t want to die, let go of me, or my master…,” Zhu Liuliu howled while flailing his limbs.

However, Essence Genesis maintained his icy gaze on Zhu Liuliu. “You are causing the biggest commotion in today’s United Rule Meet. The Myriad Age Daoist Sect is not a place for your unruly behavior. Since you caused trouble here, you will pay the price.”

“Wait! Wait!” Zhu Erer’s face changed as he sensed the murderous intent in Essence Genesis’s tone.

However, everything happened too quickly. Zhu Liuliu did not even have a chance to beg for mercy.

Crack!

Amid the shocked gazes, Essence Genesis broke off Zhu Liuliu’s head. It was not simply the breaking of the spine; he also ripped off the skin and flesh, separating the head from the body with one pinch.

Zhu Liuliu, with his severed head still in midair, could not believe that Essence Genesis would be so bold and ruthless.

Gasps filled the air. None of the sect leaders and sovereigns could hide their horrified expressions. Essence Genesis’s strength was truly terrifying.

“Oh? There’s still a protective energy in his head?” Essence Genesis’s eyes hardened as he looked at Zhu Liuliu’s head.

Even though Zhu Liuliu’s head had been severed, he had not completely perished, staring at Essence Genesis with incredulity. A rainbow light enveloped the head, protecting it.

“That is Sa’s energy!” the nearby Jiangchen said seriously.

“Humph! I don’t care about Sa’s energy or whatnot. No one can save the person I want to kill!” Essence Genesis’s eyes remained cold.

Then he extended his hand and suddenly clenched it.

Whoosh!

Zhu Liuliu’s head and body were instantly drawn into Essence Genesis’s palm as if there was a powerful suction.

“How audacious!” Zhu Erer threw a punch in anger.

Three Great Dao images appeared behind Zhu Erer as his massive fist containing all his strength rushed over.

However, Essence Genesis’s expression grew even more menacing. He was faster.

Essence Genesis tightened his clench.

Crunch!

Every bone in Zhu Liuliu’s lifeless body was crushed. Even the rainbow light was snuffed out in that split second; Essence Genesis’s clench had obliterated Sa’s energy.

Essence Genesis formed a fist, counterpunching Zhu Erer’s outstretched hand.

Boom!

With a deafening report, Zhu Erer was sent flying, hurtling over three hundred meters away before coming to an abrupt halt.

His clothes were tattered, and he was covered in countless wounds, blood spilling everywhere.

Zhu Erer stared at Essence Genesis in horror.

“How…how is this possible?” Zhu Erer looked bewildered.

A full-powered punch didn’t even make me a match for Essence Genesis? I am the Vermilion Bird Prime!

“Hah! The ancient Vermilion Bird Prime? Quite laughable,” Essence Genesis sneered with disdain.

However, not far away, Jiangchen’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

Essence Genesis’s strength was precisely what Jiangchen needed. Seeing Essence Genesis defeat Zhu Erer with a single punch, Jiangchen could not be happier. Moreover, the might Essence Genesis had just displayed was merely a fraction of his full strength. He had not even used his heavenly eye or his Essence Genesis Pennant, not to mention his primal chaos sword qi.

“Sixth Younger Brother! What did you do to Sixth Younger Brother!” After Zhu Erer suffered such a heavy blow, the first person he thought of was Zhu Liuliu.

Essence Genesis slowly opened his right hand.

Whoosh!

Some powder trickled from Essence Genesis’s palm.

There was no blood and flesh because, at the moment of their crushing, they had instantly vaporized. It was as if Zhu Liuliu’s body had been cremated, leaving behind only a pile of ashes.

The ashes fell to the ground in a cloud of smoke.

Zhu Erer was shocked. Even though Zhu Liuliu was careless and had initially been subdued by Essence Genesis, it should not have led to such a thorough death, right? Even Master’s energy within him had been crushed.

After scattering Zhu Liuliu’s ashes, Essence Genesis looked at the seat Zhu Erer had stood up from.

Clap!

Essence Genesis clapped gently.

Bang!

The seat exploded.

“Since you stood up, you don’t have to sit back down,” Essence Genesis said coldly.

By removing one seat, Essence Genesis had removed one slot for equal treatment.

On the other side, Zhu Erer trembled with anger. Sixth Younger Brother…Sixth Younger Brother is also dead? How will I explain this to Eldest Brother and the others?

Essence Genesis’s icy gaze returned to Zhu Erer. His eyes were devoid of emotion, as if he were looking at an inanimate object. This indifference was only slightly milder than the look he had before he killed Zhu Liuliu. However, it could turn colder at any moment, filled with a murderous intent.

“Humph! Essence Genesis, just you wait. I will make you pay for this. My eldest brother won’t spare you, and my master will seek justice for today’s humiliation!” Zhu Erer shouted angrily.

He turned around and flew towards the distance, trying to leave the Myriad Age Daoist Sect. Clearly, he did not dare to fight Essence Genesis any longer and could only throw out threats.

However, Essence Genesis’s gaze grew colder at this face-saving threat, and a murderous intent emanated from his eyes.

“The Myriad Age Daoist Sect is not a place where you can come and go as you please,” Essence Genesis growled with a hint of menace.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a massive purple cloud appeared in the distant sky Zhu Erer fled towards. The purple clouds parted, revealing a purple heavenly eye.

The purple heavenly eye gave off an even stronger aura than Gu Hai’s and Ba’s heavenly eyes.

Boom!

A purple Divinity Destroying Light descended from the sky, shooting at Zhu Erer.

“What?! No!” Zhu Erer roared in alarm.

Boom!

A loud report rang out. Zhu Erer had exploded, reduced to powder. Like Zhu Liuliu, he had turned to ashes and vanished.
