My talent is 1.

Guan Xiangzi had set up the Qiankun Locking Spirit Array in the Thunder God Kingdom in advance.

Every deity who entered the Kingdom of Thunder immediately felt as if their divine power was imprisoned, unable to mobilize any divine power or laws.

"What's going on?"

"It's probably a restriction imposed by the laws of the Thunder God, after all, this is the Thunder God's Kingdom."

None of the gods thought much of it; this was the territory of the chief god, so such a restriction was nothing unusual.

The gods in the Temple of Thor also sensed something was amiss, but no one believed that Thor would harm them, because there was no need to.

The title of the supreme deity was still very useful at this time.

When most of the gods from the Thunder God Temple had entered, Guan Xiangzi activated the Ten Directions Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Array.

"What... what's going on?"

Guan Xiangzi didn't explain to anyone, but instead left the Blood Demon Puppet in the Thunder God Kingdom.

This method can only be used once; using it again will not be very effective.

Moreover, this time, there are tens of thousands of imprisoned gods, which, together with the God of Life and the God of Death, is almost enough.

The Temple of Life is located in the realm of gods. Before the gods could react, Guan Xiangzi was the first to arrive at the Temple of Life.

This time, Guan Xiangzi changed his strategy.

Several array flags were released to set up the Qiankun Locking Spirit Array.

All the deities of the Temple of Life had their divine status immediately imprisoned.

Guan Xiangzi grabbed one and threw him into the Thunder God's Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Thunder is now a breeding ground, with a constant stream of gods being thrown in.

Many of them were not yet deities of the Temple of Life, but came to the Temple of Life seeking help after their divine status or divine body was injured, and were inexplicably captured and brought to the Kingdom of Thunder.

Seeing the increasing number of gods, several god-kings became restless and kept trying to use their divine power to break through the Qiankun Locking Spirit Array.

"Ahhh..."

Perhaps the formations in the divine realm could be broken in this way, but this is the Qiankun Locking Spirit Formation, a celestial formation from the immortal realm. The divine beings that attacked the formation all suffered considerable damage.

Gaia, the goddess of life, didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that her nemesis Hades was causing trouble again.

After all, Hades had been in the realm of gods for a while without any attempt to conceal his presence, so Gaia naturally knew about it.

"Hades, since you're already here, come out. Or have you grown so powerful that you can only bully these little guys now?"

Hades? ... Guan Xiangzi was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood that Gaia thought he was Hades.

Without the Blood Demon Puppet, Guan Xiangzi initially did not plan to set up the Ten Directions Sealing Heaven and Earth Locking Formation, as it was quite troublesome and there were no corresponding array flags available at the moment.

But now, Gaia's misjudgment has given Guan Xiangzi time.

Some of the gods imprisoned in the Thunder God Kingdom possessed the Law of Death. Guan Xiangzi directly extracted the Law of Death from a mid-level god and then threw him back.

He created a clone of his primordial spirit, concealed its aura with the Law of Death, transformed it into Hades' appearance, and appeared inside the Temple of Life.

The main body then took out ten immortal stones and some materials to set up the Ten Directions Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Array.

"It really is you, Hades. You've changed. What strange and wonderful things have you come up with this time? I can't even fathom your divine nature."

That's obvious, Lao Tzu is a primordial spirit, where would he get a divine status...?

"Gaia, you've changed too. Before, you were always heavily pregnant. What happened to you now...? Did you have a 'floor shut down'?"

Gaia did not take Guan Xiangzi's sarcasm to heart.

For the deities of the Temple of Life, nurturing life allows them to comprehend the laws of life more quickly. It can be said that as long as they continuously nurture life, the deities of the Temple of Life will advance the fastest.

Of course, the deities of the Temple of Death are at the other extreme, constantly sensing the aura of death.

Some deities even send their divine thoughts into the bodies of their believers, who, on the verge of death, comprehend the laws of death.

Some even possess the believer's soul directly, committing suicide and returning to heaven, experiencing the transformation of life towards death in the final moment.

"Hades, what brings you here this time?"

"It's nothing, just find a few people with strong life laws to go back and test the effect!"

"Hmph, you're not allowed to touch any gods above the lower rank. At most, you'll be given one lower rank god and three demigods!"

"That's all?... I've prepared a big gift for you~!"

Gaia's eyes lit up instantly... She immediately wanted to discuss the laws of life with Hades.

However, the Hades in the present is Guan Xiangzi in disguise, and he can't stand seeing Gaia like this for a while.

Sensing the resentment of the primordial spirit clone, the main body also accelerated the setup of the formation.

"The big gift you mentioned... I'm really curious!"

Gaia's eyes sparkled with desire, something the God-King and other high-ranking gods of the Temple of Life had long since become accustomed to and unsurprised by.

Guan Xiangzi couldn't stand that look anymore, so he activated the formation!

The Ten Directions Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Formation... Activate!

In an instant, the entire Temple of Life was sealed off.

"What are you doing?... Do you really need to resort to such tricks?... What a strange power! Even I, a supreme god, can be trapped like this!"

Guan Xiangzi's clone instantly returned to its original form and dispelled the Law of Death.

"Heaven and earth turned upside down!...Immortal Soul Lock...Go!"

In an instant, the God of Life was bound by the Immortal Soul Lock. Before the other gods could react, the Ten Directions Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Array and the Qiankun Spirit-Locking Array gradually merged.

Guan Xiangzi activated his immortal energy, pulling the entire Temple of Life into the Kingdom of Thunder.

Gaia only then realized what was happening.

"Who...who are you?"

"You don't deserve to know!"

Finally, there's Hades, who's a bit troublesome.

It's unclear what Hades sensed, but all of Guan Xiangzi's other avatars had returned to their places, leaving only the avatar that followed Hades to the underworld.

Moreover, the passage between the underworld and the abyss of hell has been severed.

Soon, the information transmitted by the primordial spirit clone surprised Guan Xiangzi.

"This Hades is not bad; he'd be considered a figure even in the realm of immortals and demons. What a pity!"

Hades gradually merged his divine realm with the underworld, which is why the underworld was separated from the hellish realm and the abyss.

After all, the gap in the divine realm is still connected to hell.

Guan Xiangzi didn't stop them. If the fusion was successful and Hades was captured, all the creatures in the underworld could be used as nourishment. Why not?

But we can't let him have it too easy. If Hades were to touch the Great Luo Dao Fruit, that would be a real problem.

Guan Xiangzi then set off for the underworld.

Within the Kingdom of the Thunder God, Gaia, the God of Life, the Temple of Life, the God of Space, and Thor, the God of Thunder, all stared at each other blankly.

All three main gods were sealed by the Immortal Soul Sealing Demon Array. The Immortal Soul Lock Crown Xiangzi was taken back; it will be needed to deal with Hades.

These were three main gods, and they were all captured without any chance to fight back.

Just what kind of being is this guy? We're all gods, so how come he's so strong?

Could it be that he's about to become the creator god? ...and devour them all?

For a moment, several main gods were terrified, extremely terrified.

The tens of thousands of gods in the Temple of Thunder and the millions of beings in the Kingdom of Thunder were filled with fear and unease, not knowing what would happen next, but the god could always sense the danger.

The underworld is currently under lockdown. If it weren't for his primordial spirit clone, it wouldn't be so easy for Guan Xiangzi to get in; he would have to put in a lot of effort.

Sensing the changes in the underworld, Guan Xiangzi set off for the location of his primordial spirit clone.

This is a bit of a problem. The entire underworld is too vast; simply setting up an array won't be enough to cover it all.

However, a temple of death is still no problem.

I just don't know how far Hades has progressed.

Guan Xiangzi made no attempt to hide and appeared directly in the Temple of Death, which Hades sensed instantly.

"How did this guy get in?... The underworld clearly closed the passage."

Hades had actually been merging with the Underworld for more than a year or two, but the Underworld was very large, so it took Hades a great deal of time.

Moreover, in order to avoid the creator god, Hades has been very careful all these years. Apart from occasionally showing his avatar in disguise, he has basically stayed in the underworld.

Even so, after hundreds of years, only half of it has been integrated.

But this half also greatly increased Hades' strength.

This is why Hades dared to enter the realm of the gods. When changes occurred in the realm of the gods, Hades saw an opportunity—an opportunity to completely merge with the underworld.

Perhaps by relying on the underworld, one can reach the realm of the creator god.

Chaos himself merged his divine realm with this world, redefined the laws, and rebuilt the order, thus creating the divine realm.

The underworld itself was differentiated from the divine realm; the divine realm is like the yang side, while the underworld and the abyss are like the yin side.

The various small worlds in the middle connect the Yin and Yang sides like a passage.

Guan Xiangzi used his primordial spirit to continuously explore the changes in the underworld, and he was also startled.

There was a close call. Hades had already surpassed the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, so the fusion of the divine kingdoms had to be interrupted.

Guan Xiangzi took out a celestial sword and began to activate his celestial energy.

Heavenly Sword Immortal Technique - Slash!

A terrifying sword aura slashed towards the Temple of Death.

Damn it, he attacked without even asking what happened. What is this guy trying to do?

"Boom!"

Hades was completely dumbfounded... What kind of power is this? ...Can a single sword strike from the God of War have such power?

"Pfft~!"

Hades' divine essence trembled continuously, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Death Sacrifice~!" Hades's entire body surged with laws, and the death laws of the underworld continuously gathered.

A terrifying aura of death swept towards Guan Xiangzi.

Guan Xiangzi took out a black and white treasure box.

Yin-Yang Box - Receive!

The death sacrifice was directly absorbed into the Yin-Yang Box, and the Yin-Yang pattern on the box immediately turned black.

The Yin-Yang symbol continued to rotate, and the white eyes of the Yin-Yang fish continuously emitted white breath. Soon, the Yang aspect of the Yin-Yang symbol gradually turned white, returning to its original state...

"This...how is this possible?"

Hades was still in shock when Guan Xiangzi struck again.

Immortal Soul Lock—Go!

Without the array's restriction, the Immortal Soul Lock missed its target, and Hades escaped.

Guan Xiangzi shook his head helplessly.

Hades is somewhat more difficult to deal with than other major gods.

I was careless; I should have set up the formation before taking action.

It's too late to set up the formation now.

However, although Hades fled, he did not leave the underworld.

His divine essence is resonating with the underworld, and his divine kingdom is gradually merging with the laws and order of the underworld. Even if his physical body wanted to leave, it couldn't.

Guan Xiangzi took out his immortal sword and continued to use the Heavenly Sword Immortal Technique. This time, he poured in a lot of immortal energy and directly attacked the Divine Kingdom through the connection between the Underworld and the Divine Kingdom.

"Boom! ... Crack crack crack..."

Deep within a mountain range in the underworld...

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh~..."

Hades rolled on the ground, clutching his head and wailing incessantly...

A portion of Hades' divine kingdom was shattered, and his divine essence cracked along with it. The pain in his divine essence seemed magnified a hundredfold...

Guan Xiangzi did not stop, and continued his attack...

Even from the gap created by the sword energy, one could already see the divine kingdom.

Guan Xiangzi then stopped using sword energy and instead used Nanming Li Fire to burn it.

Hades' divine kingdom was instantly ignited... and countless undead wailed incessantly.

Let alone the God of Death at the God-King level and other high-ranking and mid-ranking gods, even Hades himself couldn't withstand the burning of the Southern Bright Fire...

The wails of the dead echoed throughout the underworld, and countless spirits knelt on the ground, gazing towards the divine realm…

Not long after, the divine kingdom was burned to the ground, and Guan Xiangzi put away the Southern Ming Fire.

Although many gods were burned, the underworld is so vast, with countless spirits, that it is far more useful than the few gods in the divine kingdom.

The divine kingdom disappeared, but the part that merged with the underworld remains.

Hades fainted, and his divine essence shattered into several pieces.

Guan Xiangzi quickly found Hades and sealed him away.

"Now we have everything, and there's an unexpected bonus!"

Guan Xiangzi grabbed Hades and extracted a fragment of his divine essence. Through the connection between the divine essence and the underworld, he opened countless passages...

In an instant, Guan Xiangzi arrived at the place where the Heaven-Devouring Earth-Eating Array was set up.

"Let's get to work!"

This time, Guan Xiangzi retrieved all his primordial spirit clones.

He took out a celestial puppet and separated a wisp of his primordial spirit onto it.

A large amount of materials from the celestial realm were placed inside the celestial puppet.

Controlling the immortal puppet to the eye of the Devouring Heaven and Earth Formation, Guan Xiangzi activated the formation.

Then open the passage to the underworld...

All the newly appeared passages in the underworld are connected to this passage, located in the Yin position of the Devouring Heaven and Earth Formation.

Hades' divine status is quite useful; he can directly control a portion of the order in the underworld.

"Crack... Boom!"

The underworld is in chaos, and the laws of the underworld are forming turbulent currents that sweep across the underworld, causing countless dead souls to flee in a frenzy!

Guan Xiangzi, controlling Hades, addressed the beings of the underworld...

"Enter the passage and seek refuge in the Kingdom of Death."

When Guan Xiangzi attacked the divine kingdom, the beings of the underworld were unaware that the divine kingdom was gone; they only felt a strange fear.

Although we don't know what happened, the God of Death has spoken, and they are rushing madly into the passage.

As soon as they arrived, all the undead lost control and were directly devoured by the Devouring Heaven and Earth Array, turning into nourishment for the array and entering the Immortal Puppet.

There were so many spirits in the underworld that, with the constant flow of Yin energy, Guan Xiangzi found it difficult to control the death energy of the immortal puppet.

Without hesitation, Guan Xiangzi immediately began to transfer all the gods of the Thunder God Kingdom to the Yang position.

Within the kingdom of the Thunder God, the gods witnessed an incredibly terrifying scene.

Countless giant hands kept grabbing at the gods, and no matter what their divine position was, they were all directly taken away without any ability to resist.

With the replenishment of vital energy from the Yang position, the immortal puppet gradually stabilized.

However, Guan Xiangzi was exhausted. The speed at which the gods were being deployed could not keep up with the influx of the dead. In addition, many of the gods were not powerful enough, and the death energy gradually overwhelmed the life energy...

Guan Xiangzi had no choice but to separate his primordial spirit into a clone, open the Thunder God Kingdom, and unleash his immortal energy to continuously release immortal techniques, directly packing up the millions of beings in the Thunder Kingdom and throwing them into the Devouring Heaven and Earth Formation.

When the Kingdom of God was opened, the living gods finally understood what had happened.

They watched as countless undead and beings from the Thunder God's Kingdom were continuously devoured, struggling incessantly.

He couldn't even care less about the pain of being a god...

Guan Xiangzi waved his large hand, continuing to grab the deities and throw them into the formation...

"This time, we've really committed some serious sins. I wonder if this karma will have any impact in the Immortal Realm."

The four main gods were placed in the Four Symbols positions by Guan Xiangzi... There was no other way, after all, there was only one God of Death. Although he was much stronger than the other main gods, the three main gods combined were no match for the Devouring Heaven and Earth Formation.

Placing it in the Yin-Yang position will cause an imbalance.

Therefore, the four positions are evenly distributed, but the Southern Bright Fire is burning in the Vermilion Bird position where the God of Death resides.

It perfectly balanced the devouring speed of the four main gods.

Hades was in a terrible state... The Southern Ming Fire had just started to ignite when his regained consciousness dissipated again, and even wailing became a luxury...

Finally... all the living beings of the Thunder God Kingdom were devoured.

Guan Xiangzi immediately closed all the passages and threw all the remaining deities into the Yang position to devour them.

The four main gods' devouring speed increased.

Furthermore, just in case, Guan Xiangzi separated the Blood Demon Puppets, placing eight in the Bagua positions and two in the Yin-Yang positions...

The immortal puppet's strength has surpassed that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and Guan Xiangzi feels a sluggishness in his control over his primordial spirit...

"That's about it. Even if I'm not a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, I'm not far off! ... I, Guan Xiangzi, have been on the path of immortality for thousands of years, cultivating and comprehending the Dao all my life, yet today I resort to this demonic art... Hahaha! ...!"

The Eighth Tribulation of a Loose Immortal is probably going to be difficult...

When the Blood Demon Puppet and the Main God were completely devoured, Guan Xiangzi's primordial spirit controlled the Immortal Puppet, wielding an Immortal Sword... and slashed at the void...

On Shangyuan Mountain, the night was quiet, and the sky was dotted with stars...

A beam of light appeared on a mountaintop, startling the hunters who had been asleep.

The hunter's eyes widened as he saw something glittering in the woods not far away...

"What happened?"

The hunter mustered his courage and peered through the window toward the light...

Soon, night returned, and the light disappeared. ...

In the Immortal Realm, Guan Xiangzi had just returned and quickly set up a concealment formation on a mountaintop.

He was severely injured. The attack from the immortal puppet was beyond his imagination, and even his wisp of primordial spirit turned to ashes.

If he hadn't swallowed a handful of elixirs and barely managed to stay afloat, he might have been torn apart by the spatial turbulence, just like the Devouring Heaven and Earth Formation.

Thankfully, they're finally back.

In a sacred mountain... Chaos is covered in wounds; there's no escape here...

Moreover, the chains on his body, of some unknown power, were able to seal Chaos so tightly that he couldn't use any of his strength.

Suddenly, Chaos opened his eyes wide... and looked in one direction...

"The realm of gods?...The aura of the realm of gods..."

Chaos exclaimed in surprise and immediately activated his divine power to connect with the divine realm.

"What's all the noise about? ...Do you want to get whipped again?"

Chaos immediately shut his mouth, but the aura of the divine realm quickly vanished... Chaos could no longer hold back...

Just when hope seemed within reach, despair returned...

"Aaaaah...why?...Why did the divine realm disappear as soon as it sensed it?"

"Crack!" A whip lashed out, and Chaos's lips twitched. The pain in his divine essence brought him back to his senses.

"Idiot, always spouting nonsense about being some kind of creator god?... He doesn't even have a primordial spirit... I wonder how he obtained this Great Luo Dao Fruit?"

"Who knows... A Great Immortal was actually being whipped by the two of us every day. Who would have thought I could brag about this for tens of thousands of years?"

"Don't even mention it, he's the only Grand Luo Immortal who's been captured to mine in the entire Immortal Realm. In the past ten thousand years of the Immortal Realm, this guy is truly one of a kind!"

"This guy is incredibly stupid. I heard that he provoked a Grand Luo Golden Immortal in Wanxian City and got beaten up. Even the Eastern Huan Immortal Emperor couldn't help but go and take a look. Guess what? ... This guy spouted nonsense in front of the Eastern Huan Immortal Emperor, claiming to be the creator god... The Eastern Huan Immortal Emperor slapped him half to death."

"I was wondering why it looked half-dead when it was first delivered."

Chaos was already used to such humiliation.

This world was one he didn't understand at all. He thought countless times that if he hadn't clashed with that guy named Ju Hong, he would probably still be the creator god in the divine realm.

Chaos longed for his days in the realm of the gods, where, though it was boring, he controlled everything in the world and was the supreme being.

Now... he's constantly being whipped by several mid-level gods while mining... Chaos is truly on the verge of tears.

On Shangyuan Mountain in this small world... the hunter still mustered his courage and went there with a torch.

It might cost me my life, but it could also be an opportunity. What if a celestial being passing by? ...Even discarded weeds and leaves could extend my life by a couple of years...

The hunter went into the forest and searched for a while but found nothing.

"What's going on?... I remember this was definitely the place!"

The hunter, holding a torch, cautiously made his way around.

"Huh?...Why is there someone here?"

The hunter brought the torch closer and realized... this person was so young... He observed him more closely...

"Hiss~..."

The hunter gasped; the injury was quite severe...

His body was wrapped in thin white strips of cloth, which were still seeping blood, and the injuries on his legs were very serious.

It's not even certain whether they'll survive.

Could it be... that he was beaten by an immortal? ...and then left here to feed the wolves?

Realizing this possibility, the hunter turned and ran, fearing he would get into trouble.

After running a few steps, the hunter turned to look in that direction, feeling a pang of reluctance.

They went back and carried the man back.

"Hmm... Hmm... Uh..."

It may have touched a wound, because a painful groan came from its back.

The house on the mountain was very simple, and there was nowhere to put the person. The hunter spread a straw mat on the ground and placed the person on it.

After searching around the house, the hunter used some hemostatic herbs he had on hand to apply the poultice.

"You've saved him, now whether he lives or dies is up to fate!"...
