The Dragon Phoenix True Body and Green Lotus True Body transformed into two spots of light and disappeared at the end of the firmaments before long.

The two milky-white beams of light dissipated as well.

When the experts of Tianhuang Mainland retracted their gazes, they noticed something unusual!

The third milky-white beam of light still penetrated the world and enveloped the Martial Dao Prime Body!

The Martial Dao Prime Body did not leave and continued standing in midair, looking up at the skies!

“What’s the Martial Emperor’s third true body doing?”

“I’m not sure. He seems to be resisting the guidance of the upper world?”

Many experts discussed in shock.

The milky-white beam of light intensified and a powerful suction force acted on the Martial Dao Prime Body, wanting to take him away from Tianhuang Mainland.

However, the Martial Dao Prime Body remained unmoved.

Both parties exerted strength and the Martial Dao Prime Body channeled his blood qi slowly. In the end, he even conjured a Bloodline phenomenon, a gigantic furnace that burned furiously in midair to fight against the power of guidance!

Before this Tribulation Transcendence, Su Zimo had already made his decision.

The Dragon Phoenix True Body and Green Lotus True Body would undergo Tribulation Transcendence at the same time and ascend to the upper world.

However, his Martial Dao Prime Body would choose to stay in Tianhuang Mainland.

Firstly, the sort of dangers and living beings he would encounter upon arriving in the upper world was completely unknown.

If he left the Martial Dao Prime Body in Tianhuang Mainland, he would not die even if the Dragon Phoenix True Body and Green Lotus True Body encountered any variables.

One day, the Martial Dao Prime Body would still be able to ascend to the upper world!

Secondly, Su Zimo had many old friends in Tianhuang Mainland.

For example, Xiaoning had only just entered the Mahayana realm.

She would have to cultivate for a long time before she could attempt the Tribulation Transcendence.

Su Zimo was the most worried about Xiaoning.

Of course, apart from Xiaoning, there were also monkey, Night Spirit and his siblings as well as bosom buddies like Little Fatty, Ji Chengtian, Leng Rou and Lin Xuanji.

There was also Nian Qi and Tao Yao, his two disciples.

With so many old friends still in Tianhuang Mainland, Su Zimo would be worried if he were to leave right away.

Third, Su Zimo wanted to sever some karma.

“What is the Martial Emperor thinking? Why is he resisting the guidance of the upper world?”

A commotion broke out in the crowd.

“He’s probably worried about some old friends in Tianhuang Mainland,” Someone guessed.

Another person said, “However, if that’s the case, why bother to undergo the Tribulation Transcendence? Now that he has passed the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation, he chose to defend against the guidance of the upper world. This is no longer heaven-defying. He’s challenging the rules of the Heavenly Dao!”

“That’s right! This is a dangerous move that might attract divine punishment!”

Tribulation Transcendence was a necessary step.

The Martial Dao Prime Body could only continue cultivating after Tribulation Transcendence.

Back when experts of the upper world descended, they were all killed by Die Yue and left behind many treasures and cultivation resources.

However, those treasures could not be refined and absorbed without experiencing the Tribulation Transcendence.

The Martial Dao Prime Body wanted to continue cultivating in the lower world!

“Zimo, why are you doing this?”

In the crowd, a woman in a pale yellow robe looked at the figure above the East Sea and murmured worriedly.

“Sister, could he be staying for your sake?”

At the side, a girl in pink with a veil asked softly.

The yellow-robed woman frowned and pursed her red lips. Her heart was completely focused on the person above the East Sea and she did not hear what the girl beside her was saying.

The power of guidance was still increasing within the milky-white beam of light.

The Martial Dao Prime Body did not relax at all. After his Bloodline phenomenon, four Fate Rings were released as well, forming four purple halos behind him that almost broke through the milky-white column of light!

The clash between the two powers was silent.

However, everyone from Tianhuang Mainland watched nervously with sweaty palms.

That was because the void above the East Sea was twisting wildly, disintegrating and collapsing—it shattered against the confrontation of the two powers!

“Old man, what will happen if Brother Su continues to resist?”

Lin Xuanji could not help but ask.

The storyteller had a grim expression as he said slowly, “Nobody knows what will happen. After all, something like this is unprecedented.”

After a brief pause, he sighed. “The Martial Emperor is going against the will of the heavens and challenging the rules of the Heavenly Dao!”

Although the storyteller did not continue, Lin Xuanji’s heart sank.

He could tell that the storyteller was implying that Su Zimo’s actions would probably attract trouble!

Before long, the milky-white light that pierced through the world gradually dissipated.

The figure of the Martial Dao Prime Body reappeared and stood on the East Sea. His face was a little pale but his gaze was still calm.

This struggle consumed a lot of the Martial Dao Prime Body as well.

He had just passed through the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation and was almost exhausted after resisting the power of guidance from the upper world.

“Is it over?”

“The guidance failed and gave up? It decided to allow the Martial Emperor to stay in the lower world?”

The living beings of the ten thousand races had different expressions. This scene seemed to be vastly different from what they had imagined.

Suddenly!

A crack appeared in the firmaments.

An extremely terrifying might emanated from the crack with a chilling killing intent that threatened to destroy everything!

Crack!

There was a deafening bang!

A purple thunderbolt descended from the skies and arrived instantly, descending on the Martial Dao Prime Body!

Everywhere the purple thunderbolt passed, the world was sliced into two!

The living beings of the ten thousand races were shocked.

The Emperors were astounded!

Nobody could describe the power of that purple thunderbolt.

The might of the purple thunderbolt was far less shocking than the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

However, the combined power of the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation was far inferior to the killing power of the purple thunderbolt!

The purple thunderbolt seemed to be a punishment from the heavens that wanted to destroy all living beings who wanted to challenge the will of the heavens and the rules of the Heavenly Dao!

It was too fast.

The moment the purple light flashed, the purple thunderbolt had already landed on the Martial Dao Prime Body.

Boom!

A series of blood lights burst forth from the purple light!

Right in front of everyone, the Martial Dao Prime Body was destroyed in body and soul by the purple thunderbolt without a corpse left!

All the living beings who saw that widened their eyes and mouths instinctively.

The Emperors even forgot to breathe and froze on the spot.

All the Emperors had witnessed the strength of the Martial Dao Prime Body before.

Even the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation could not destroy the Martial Dao Prime Body. However, the purple thunderbolt destroyed him with ease and shattered his soul!

A moment later, the crack in the firmaments closed slowly.

It was as though the purple thunderbolt earlier on was a hallucination of the living beings of the ten thousand races.

However, above the East Sea, the figure that looked down on the world and history was completely destroyed by the purple thunderbolt and became a thing of the past!

“Sigh!”

Many experts shook their heads and sighed.

“The Martial Emperor has clearly succeeded in his Tribulation Transcendence but he still wanted to provoke the heavens. It’s truly a little…”

“He can’t blame anyone for his ending.”

“No matter what, the two true bodies of the Martial Emperor succeeded in the Tribulation Transcendence and have already ascended to the upper world. At the very least, he managed to retain them. That’s already quite a blessing.”

The living beings of the ten thousand races discussed and lingered around the East Sea for a long time.

Some experts even wanted to search for the storage bag of the Martial Dao Prime Body but to no avail.

Against that power, his storage bag should have turned into ashes.

That was what many experts thought.

Actually, the moment the purple thunderbolt descended on the Martial Dao Prime Body, no one noticed that a silver light fell into the East Sea and vanished under the cover of the blazing purple light.
