The bloodline of the demons and monsters began to boil within the True Gods, their hatred for humans and Immortals was never less than the others. The mixture of hatred and the allure from the Immortal Ascension Book made their fighting spirit burn fiercely. Si Yi True Monarch calmly said: "To kill Zhou Bai, we need to first figure out what his situation really is." After Zhou Bai activated the berserker stance, his increasingly profound void aura, the power that knocked Bootes out of the Luotian Realm, and the ever-present Guihai Black Fiend in the air, all left the True Gods a bit unsure of what to make of it. Encountering such a situation in ordinary times would be akin to facing an aberrant weapon and hexagram with unknown abilities. The Immortals and Gods would often probe, entangle, understand the opponent's abilities, then constantly weaken the opponent, and finally find a way to deliver a fatal blow. But now, facing Zhou Bai who was step by step approaching the Immortal Ascension Book, they didn't have much time to test things out. So they could only change their approach to something simpler, more brutal, more direct… "I'm the weakest here, so I'll go first." A flash of lightning dashed out, Fu Lei True Monarch of the Thunder Department stepped onto the Path to Ascension, his figure instantly vanished, then a giant over a hundred meters tall descended from the Luotian Realm, his entire body blazing with lightning. In his hand, an aberrant weapon shaped like a huge wheel wrapped in layers of lightning fiercely smashed towards Zhou Bai. Zhou Bai's pitch-black eyes looked at the lightning and giant wheel falling before him, and he punched out. The two domineering forces clashed momentarily, then Zhou Bai's body was instantly pierced by lightning, and the giant before him directly solidified, shattered inch by inch, and dissipated into the air. Immediately after, the heavily injured Fu Lei True Monarch could no longer maintain the Luotian Realm. He was knocked out, his demon body twisting as it struggled out from the Divine Body, only to be stomped and exploded into pieces by Zhou Bai, who shimmered with the radiance of the sun, his blood and flesh scattering along the way, and then being swallowed by the pitch-black Guihai Black Fiend. Zhou Bai frowned, the aberrant weapon just now was quite peculiar, not sure if its power was of a hitting or piercing type, the lightning ignored the defensive power and pierced his body, leaving a large charred mark on his chest. And in the berserker stance, he was unable to heal himself. Current wisdom of Zhou Bai: 96% But the moment after Fu Lei True Monarch's death, another figure appeared on the Path to Ascension, and then disappeared. It was Tian Wei True Monarch of the Plague Department. Multicolored miasma descended from the Luotian Realm, transforming into a giant palm that slammed towards Zhou Bai. Then, it shattered, crumbled. Zhou Bai's face veins bulged, the toxin injected by the aberrant weapon rushed through his body with the power unique to the aberrant weapon, continuously corroding his flesh, a large purple poison injury appeared on his right arm. Zhou Bai didn't know what this aberrant weapon's ability was, nor did he have the time to look at it, he continued stepping forward towards the Immortal Ascension Book. Current wisdom of Zhou Bai: 94% Then another voice rushed onto the Path to Ascension. Inside the hall, the True Gods and Immortals silently watched this scene, hardly anyone spoke. They just watched as one figure after another stood up among the True Gods, rushing towards Zhou Bai, like moths diving into the flame, time and again tumbling as blood and flesh on the Path to Ascension, as if using the flesh and blood of old gods to pave the road for new gods. As one True God after another died, the wounds on Zhou Bai's body increased, his eyes remained pitch black, his momentum not diminishing at all, but his speed was slowing, his movements becoming clearer to more Immortals and Gods. Yet, the True Monarchs until now, did not make a move. The True Gods didn't show a trace of sorrow in the face of the casualties before them. They endured, watched, and analyzed, like a pack of beasts, continuously sending the old and weak beasts to the forefront to buy time for the stronger companions. Brutal, cunning, cold — this was the way of beasts in combat, the way of demons and monsters in combat. "This looks so familiar..." Immortal Qin seemed to recall the past war between humans and demons, where hordes of monsters were commanded to charge at the Immortals as if they dared to die, depleting the Immortals. "They are indeed demons." Ghost Slayer God sighed. And Zhou Bai facing such an offensive was relentlessly aggressive, attacking to defend, without a hint of treatment, not stepping back even a single step, arrogantly advancing towards the Immortal Ascension Book as if he saw all the True Gods as insignificant. Dao An Immortal Venerable couldn't help but frown: "Too reckless." Tian Xuan Immortal Venerable shrouded in beast fur watched Zhou Bai, who was continuously expending and sustaining damage on the Path to Ascension, yet not pausing for a moment, showing an expression of admiration: "This kid sure is stubborn… Haha, I quite like him." Considering Zhou Bai's age, in the eyes of all the Immortals, he is nothing but a child. Yet this very child is fighting to death for the rise of the entire race, facing the waves of slaughter from the True Gods one after another alone. Read full story at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 When the ninth True God fell as a mass of blood and flesh on the Path to Ascension, Zhou Bai was already covered in blood. Nine aberrant weapons, each with its own unique power, were used by the True Gods to strike his body, even with the defensive power of the Twisted Shadow, they couldn't completely avoid it. Thus, the nine True Gods fought to the death, finally leaving nine hard-to-heal injuries on the front of his body. Also at this time, the first True Monarch appeared before him. Various conjectures were transmitted among the True Gods' Primordial Spirit power. 'He seems to enhance his combat power by speaking before every strike.' 'He is ignoring injuries, forgoing treatment.' 'His attacks are indefensible, and seemingly, if hit, will cause retreat.' 'Primordial Spirit power can be materialized, transmitting force through materialized Primordial Spirit power, impacting within the Luotian Realm.' Jiu Xiao Marshal of the Thunder Department, Fan Ming, now stood before Zhou Bai and said indifferently: "This should end." Current wisdom of Zhou Bai: 86% Minutes before the projection began. In front of the small courtyard where Xiang Tiandi was located in the Thunder Department. True Monarch Yan Zhen and True Monarch Greedy Wolf curiously surveyed the surroundings. True Monarch Greedy Wolf: "Why aren't there any guards?" "Don't know." True Monarch Yan Zhen looked towards the small courtyard: "Marshal Xiang, are you in?" True Monarch Greedy Wolf: "We're here to have a drink with you." Xiang Tiandi: "Not here, scram." True Monarch Yan Zhen: "Don't feel embarrassed. We were all knocked down by Zhou Bai, I understand your feelings…" A moment later, the projection illuminated the heavens, True Monarch Yan Zhen turned his head and sighed: "The moon is beautiful tonight…" But then, both True Monarch Yan Zhen and True Monarch Greedy Wolf were stunned into silence by the appearance of Zhou Bai on the screen. The gate of the small courtyard opened, and Xiang Tiandi's silhouette instantly leapt miles, shooting towards the direction of the grand wedding, then suddenly stopped. He turned his head looking at the dumbfounded True Monarch Yan Zhen and True Monarch Greedy Wolf: "You two, come with me." "To find the God Emperor."
