Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

In the end, only two beams of light remained, fiercely clashing at the center.

Seven-colored and four-colored, distinctly separated, pressed against each other; neither retreated.

Only then did a sound ring out.

Boom!

A deafening roar, as if heaven and earth were splitting apart — like a mountain peak exploding from within, like an entire stretch of land being overturned.

The shockwave spread downward, slamming heavily into the ground.

Soil for a thousand li in all directions sank uniformly by ten zhang.

Those mountains of piled demon corpses were flung into the air by the shockwave, then shattered into countless fragments in mid-air.

Formations and restrictions activated simultaneously; the cultivators desperately maintained them.

Several array bases shattered with a boom; the raised high walls trembled rustlingly.

"Hiss!"

"How terrifying!"

"Is this the battle of top experts?"

Everyone, all of them, were stunned by this scene.

A few timid young cultivators slumped onto the ground, their whole bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Others opened their mouths wanting to say something, yet discovered they could not utter a single word.

Even the cultivators who were usually the most clamorous were now scared pale as paper.

"Senior Sister!"

Mu Qingshuang looked up at the light in the sky; after a long while she spoke, her voice so light it seemed she feared startling something: "This Sect Master Xu, was he playing pig to eat tiger all along?"

Li Lingbi appeared, looking up at that blinding light, his expression quite complex: "Junior Brother Xu, has he already surpassed Chao Jin?"

Who is Chao Jin?

He was a Spirit Transformation Venerable two hundred years ago!

Moreover, he is the new Sect Master of Dongting Immortal Sect, a top expert who wields a great killing weapon.

You must know, the other party did not dare face the Demon God alone, yet Xu Zhangqing achieved it.

Pei Mo watched this, and could not help but draw a deep breath: "Junior Brother Xu, no, Sect Master Xu, what exactly is his cultivation now?"

Fenglong especially wanted to join in, but with people all around he could only watch helplessly.

At this moment, the confrontation between Xu Zhangqing and Kong Fang continued.

Seven-colored demon light and four-colored finger rays pressed together in the void; two completely different powers crazily tore, crushed, and annihilated each other on a contact surface the size of a needle tip.

The demon light carried a wisp of Creation Power, and Xu Zhangqing's four-colored finger rays likewise contained the power of the Creation Genesis Record.

Two strands of Creation Power, same origin yet different masters, entangled endlessly at the collision point; neither could suppress the other, forming a subtle balance.

Xu Zhangqing could feel Kong Fang watching him.

Not with eyes, but with consciousness.

The other party used the Demon God power that controls all demons to gauge his depth.

The seven-colored demon light trembled continuously; each tremor was a probe, each probe trying to find a breakthrough, a breakthrough that would force Xu Zhangqing to reveal his true strength, yet none was ever found.

As time passed, Xu Zhangqing expressionlessly increased the output of the four root powers in his finger rays; the Nirvana Heart Fire suddenly pulsed, its flame expanding accordingly.

The demon light was pushed back bit by bit; though the speed was extremely slow, like using a dull saber to cut a piece of hard Xuan Iron, it was indeed retreating.

All present who were looking up noticed this change.

"Blocked?"

"Sect Master Xu blocked it?"

"This... simply inconceivable!"

Quite a few people even wore looks of seeing a ghost.

Xu Zhangqing gathered all power into one point; the four rays of light condensed at his fingertip into a four-colored light pearl the size of a fist.

Within the pearl, the four root powers were tightly intertwined.

Yellow-brown bore pitch-black; pitch-black eroded pale gold; pale gold burned away blue-green; blue-green regenerated yellow-brown.

An incomplete cycle, yet the four root powers achieved perfect balance.

The next second, the light pearl shot into the demon light.

Rumble!

The instant the two powers exploded, the sky vault seemed to be torn open from within by something.

That wisp of Creation Power within the seven-colored demon light was locked by the light pearl; the four root powers simultaneously coiled around it, shredding the demon light together with the Creation Power wrapped inside.

Instantly, the demon light began to collapse from within; cracks extended rapidly along the light pillar's trajectory toward both ends, like cracks spreading on glass.

Immediately after, the entire demon light shattered in mid-air into sky-full seven-colored light dust.

The light dust drifted down on the battlefield, like a torn rainbow, dissipating piece by piece.

The last wisp of light dust, when it reached a position three chi from Xu Zhangqing's fingertip, silently vanished.

Everyone saw this scene: Demon God Kong Fang's demon light was shattered head-on by Xu Zhangqing.

Yes.

Not deflecting it back, not neutralizing it.

It was a hard block, then a counterattack back.

Li Lingbi let out a long breath, thinking to himself: "Held."

Mu Qingshuang propped her hands on her knees, her expression still shocked: "Held?"

Qin Baili moved his hand off the sword, the corner of his mouth beneath his mask curving slightly upward, then he muttered to himself: "Held!"

Fenglong nodded slightly, unsurprised: "Worthy of being the true body."

Li Chuan released the Corpse King Sword he had been gripping tightly, then returned to his original position.

"Sect Master Xu!"

"Sect Master Xu!!"

"Sect Master Xu!!!"

No one knew who shouted first, then more voices joined in.

The vast majority of people were hoarsely repeating the same title.

The cultivators who had collapsed onto the ground scrambled up from the floor, their faces flushed red.

In the market and toward the Wan Family's side, the loose cultivators, tribulation cultivators, evil cultivators, and others who had been holding their breath let it fall at once: "This Sect Master Xu is far too powerful!"

Xu Zhangqing hovered in mid-air, four-colored light gradually retracting into his body.

He did not pay attention to the rising and falling cheers below, but cast his gaze toward the Central Region, looking at that dark red sky.

His expression remained calm as ever, yet a hint of solemnity flickered in the depths of his eyes.

Indeed, the four colors ultimately fell short.

To others, he had shattered the Demon God's demonic light head-on, not losing ground in the slightest.

But he knew clearly in his heart that this strike had used every hidden card except the Chaos God.

The Impure Earth Power, Primordial Heavy Water, Nirvana Heart Fire, and Creation Vitality—four primal forces operating to the extreme along the path of the Record of Creation and Genesis—barely managed to block that seven-colored demonic light.

And that demonic light was merely Kong Fang's casual strike.

Not full power, not serious, not even a proper attack.

Just a probe tossed over casually along the causality line after discovering a wisp of Creation Power within Bi Xin's body.

Like a person seeing an ant on the ground, extending a finger and pressing down lightly—not to crush it, just wanting to see if the ant would dodge.

And on his side, he had to reveal nearly all his hidden cards just to receive it.

What if today it weren't four colors?

Could he block it?

Xu Zhangqing asked himself in his heart: if he had not obtained the Nirvana Heart Fire in the Night Crying Secret Realm back then, if the Fire Spirit Root had remained at the basic stage, if now he could only mobilize the Impure Earth Power and Primordial Heavy Water, then he absolutely could not block this demonic light!
