Chapter 912: Chapter 912: Three Thousand Heavenly Paths

It was an absolutely breathtaking sight. The purple pillar seemed to envelop Guo Shifu alone, yet at the same time, it appeared to encompass all directions. Numerous laws and rules intertwined like a spider\'s web around it.

This scene was indescribable, yet this was the exact feeling Zhong Shan experienced.

Faced with this purple pillar, Zhong Shan suddenly felt a sense of reverence. He was shocked; even in the presence of a sage, he had never felt this way.

What exactly was the purple pillar around Guo Shifu?

Not only Guo Shifu, but also a red-robed sage in the distance was suddenly enveloped by a red pillar of light, which also shot from earth to sky. It was a heart-stopping sight, but in an instant, the light disappeared.

Suddenly, the purple pillar and the red pillar reappeared, clashing together in an explosive collision. Then, both Guo Shifu and the red-robed sage vanished.

Did Guo Shifu really dare to fight a sage? Everyone was dumbfounded.

The two disappeared, and if not for the lingering oppressive aura, everyone would have thought they had left.

Were the two peerless experts still here?

Everyone wanted to retreat, but the oppression seemed to confine them all, making it hard to breathe. It felt as though any resistance would result in being simultaneously attacked by both Guo Shifu and the sage.

No one moved.

"Hmph!"

A shadow flashed, and suddenly, a figure appeared beside Zhong Shan.

Da Xi Holy Court, Wang Ku!

"Holy King," Wang Ku respectfully greeted.

Zhong Shan glanced at Wang Ku in surprise.

"I happened to be nearby and sensed a strong presence, so I came. Who is it?" Wang Ku asked.

"Guo Shifu, have you heard of him?" Zhong Shan inquired.

"No, I have never heard of him," Wang Ku shook his head.

"A man named Guo Shifu is currently battling a sage\'s divine sense," Zhong Shan explained.

"Holy King, should we leave immediately? I can take everyone away," Wang Ku said solemnly.

A Great Immortal? Despite being a Great Immortal, Wang Ku seemed completely unaffected at this moment.

Zhong Shan shook his head.

"We can\'t leave, nor should we," Zhong Shan said solemnly.

"Huh?" Wang Ku was puzzled.

"The situation compels us. If the sage wins, there\'s no need to leave. If Guo Shifu wins, leaving would be useless," Zhong Shan shook his head.

Meanwhile, Zhong Shan was at the center of everyone\'s attention.

The other Great Immortals suddenly noticed Wang Ku and recognized him at once. "Isn\'t he the commander of Da Xi\'s legion? Why is he unaffected by this terrifying pressure?"

Seeing Wang Ku\'s composure, the other experts were astounded.

Soon, another flash of light appeared in the distance, and a blue light suddenly landed in front of Zhong Shan.

"Luo Xingchen!" Qing Ming Shengshang exclaimed.

Not only Qing Ming Shengshang, but almost everyone was shocked. "Can someone tell me what\'s going on? Wasn\'t Luo Xingchen dead? He was killed right here by Zhong Shan himself!"

How did he suddenly appear again?

Today\'s events had overturned everyone\'s understanding. Zhong Shan had blocked the Ancient Immortal Destruction Array, the fierce demon Guo Shifu had emerged, a sage had descended, the mystery of the former Great Zhou had resurfaced, Guo Shifu was fighting a sage, and now, Luo Xingchen, who was supposed to be dead, was alive again?

"Holy King!" Luo Xingchen respectfully greeted.

Seeing this, almost everyone felt an urge to curse aloud, feeling utterly confused. Luo Xingchen, the once greatest expert of the Wheel Domain, known for his mastery of time, was now bowing to Zhong Shan? Had he abandoned his Time Dojo to become Zhong Shan\'s subordinate?

Is this some kind of joke?

Is the world changing too fast, or are we just unable to keep up with the times?

The Great Immortals exchanged looks, each seeing the same conflicted expressions on the others\' faces. Since Zhong Shan blocked the Ancient Immortal Destruction Array, some had realized that this was destined to end in failure. However, they had never expected such a complete defeat.

Luo Xingchen had actually pledged allegiance to the Da Xi Holy Court?

"I was just in Changjing and suddenly sensed a surge of malice from the direction of the Wheel Hall. Knowing the Holy King was here, I dared not delay and came immediately. What is this place?" Luo Xingchen frowned.

Mud Bodhisattva, standing nearby, recounted the recent events to Luo Xingchen.

"A battle of the Heavenly Dao!" Luo Xingchen raised an eyebrow.

"A battle of the Heavenly Dao?" Zhong Shan frowned.

"Yes, the purple pillar and the red pillar you saw earlier should be two Heavenly Daos. It\'s common for sages to merge with the Heavenly Dao, but I didn\'t expect Guo Shifu to do it too. He is a Forefather Immortal, the closest realm to a sage!" Luo Xingchen said solemnly.

"Can Forefather Immortals merge with the Heavenly Dao?" Zhong Shan frowned.

"No, not all Forefather Immortals can. You must have heard of the Three Thousand Heavenly Daos, three thousand different Heavenly Daos that transcend all laws," Luo Xingchen explained.

"Correct. The Heavenly Dao gives birth to endless laws, and the laws give birth to rules," Zhong Shan nodded.

"The eternal constant in this world is the Heavenly Dao, the Three Thousand Heavenly Daos, existing everywhere, omnipresent. Our ancient immortals can only perceive the shadows of the Heavenly Dao through laws. By advancing to Forefather Immortal, one can see the Heavenly Dao," Luo Xingchen explained. "The Heavenly Dao is formless and invisible, yet it can be seen?" Zhong Shan frowned.

"Forefather Immortals can see it and use it. The highest level of Forefather Immortals can merge with the Heavenly Dao. Although the merging is not perfect, they possess the power to break the heavens," Luo Xingchen said.

Zhong Shan understood that the so-called power to break the heavens meant the ability to tear open the void. Forefather Immortals, the origin of immortals, the pinnacle of immortality!

"The Wu Tribe has Forefather Shamans, cultivators have Forefather Immortals, Buddhists have Forefather Buddhas. Each race considers \'Forefather\' as the ultimate. Above the Forefather level are the sages of heaven and earth, the Yang Nine and Yin Six," Luo Xingchen explained.

"Guo Shifu and the sage\'s divine sense are currently engaged in a battle of the Heavenly Dao. Hence, we cannot see their forms, but they are here, omnipresent!" Luo Xingchen said solemnly.

As Luo Xingchen spoke, the void suddenly trembled. The terrifying spatial vibrations caused a black dot to appear in the distance, a black hole in the void.

In the blink of an eye, nearly ten thousand black holes appeared in that black dot.

Guo Shifu was battling a sage.

Almost everyone felt an immediate urge to retreat.

"Holy King? Shall we leave?" Luo Xingchen asked worriedly.

"Boom!"

The void trembled once more, and in the distance, countless mountains were suddenly crushed into powder. Only the Wheel Hall remained strangely intact, as if a faint black aura had suddenly emerged to shield it from the spatial tremors.

"Roar!" Guo Shifu let out a wild roar.

A blood-soaked corpse suddenly descended from the sky.

"Trying to fight me with a Great Immortal\'s body? Come back with an Ancient Immortal\'s! Hahaha!" Guo Shifu laughed maniacally.

A beam of white light shot up into the sky, and the sage retreated in defeat.

"Guo Shifu, the Great Zhou is gone. Your arrogance will lead to an early death. Next time we meet will be your end!" The departing white light left a cold message.

"Hmph!" Guo Shifu snorted coldly.

"Defeated?"

Almost no one could accept this fact. Defeated? Impossible. How could a sage be defeated? Sages are invincible!

Everyone\'s minds were roaring with disbelief.

But the body that the sage had occupied indeed lay fallen on the ground. Defeated, the sage had left!

What would the powerful Guo Shifu do next?

Guo Shifu gazed coldly in the direction the sage had left for a long time.

The destruction of the Great Zhou was an eternal pain in his heart. The mighty Great Zhou was gone just like that? Even though he could now only bully a sage\'s divine sense, if the Great Zhou were still around, Guo Shifu would dare to confront any sage in person.

"Roar!"

Unable to vent his frustration, Guo Shifu roared towards the sky, causing the heavens to tremble and the weather to change.

In the distance, some of Da Xi\'s lower-level soldiers had blood seeping from their ears, with some even fainting on the spot.

"Holy King, what should we do?" Luo Xingchen asked worriedly.

Zhong Shan\'s eyelids twitched. He possessed the Emperor\'s Diagram, which allowed communication between the yin and yang realms. With Mud Bodhisattva and others here, Zhong Shan could definitely save them and take them to the yang realm in a short time. But what about Da Xi? Should he abandon Da Xi Holy Court in the underworld?

Guo Shifu\'s resolve was unyielding, and he would surely fulfill his vow. The bloodbath in the Wheel Domain would indeed start here, as Guo Shifu\'s cold gaze suddenly fell upon Zhong Shan and his group, signaling the beginning of the massacre.

Wherever Guo Shifu\'s gaze fell, everyone felt a wave of fear.

He had driven away a sage; what chance did these Great Immortals stand against him?

The terrifying Guo Shifu—once he decided to kill, who could escape?

Guo Shifu surveyed the area, his eyes narrowing as he looked in the direction of Yan Chongzhi, noticing the golden phoenix.

"A phoenix? And a golden one at that? You, as a noble golden phoenix, actually stoop to pulling a carriage? Whose carriage is this?" Guo Shifu\'s voice thundered coldly.

His voice, like a heavenly thunderclap, left everyone dizzy.

"It is mine!" Zhong Shan said in a deep voice.

Almost all the Great Immortals were stunned. Was Zhong Shan courting death? Moreover, everyone suddenly realized that Guo Shifu seemed to be very protective of the phoenix race.

"Is the phoenix your national beast?" Guo Shifu asked coldly.

"No," Zhong Shan shook his head.

"If not, then you must have forced the phoenix to pull your carriage. You deserve death!" Guo Shifu\'s voice was icy.

"No, senior, we willingly serve the Holy King. He did not force us!" A phoenix in the distance immediately responded anxiously.

The phoenix flapped its wings and flew straight towards them, seemingly unaffected by Guo Shifu\'s eerie aura.

"Whoosh!" In a flash, Guo Shifu was in front of them.

Da Xi\'s ministers quickly surrounded Zhong Shan protectively.

"As a phoenix, you willingly pull a carriage? Since when have phoenixes become so lowly?" Guo Shifu\'s eyes turned cold.

But just as Guo Shifu\'s eyes turned cold and he prepared to strike, his expression suddenly changed.

"The king\'s aura?" Guo Shifu stared at Zhong Shan in surprise.

"You have it too?" Guo Shifu looked at Mud Bodhisattva in amazement.

"You too? The king\'s aura? The king?" Guo Shifu turned to look at the phoenix that had approached.
