“What’s wrong now?” Zeng Busi glared at He Sanxiao.

He was recovering from his sadness and becoming happy.

“No!”

He Sanxiao frowned, his eyes flashing. “Something is wrong.”

“Something is wrong? What’s wrong?” Xiahou Chuanwu was puzzled.

“I can’t put a finger on it.” He Sanxiao spun on the spot.

“Wait.” Yu Huatian pondered and said, “If the Essence Souls and Primordial Spirits of First Chief Bai and the others died on the Continent of Divine Grace, what about their physical bodies? Why haven’t they come out?”

“Yes!”

He Sanxiao suddenly turned around and looked at Yu Huatian. His eyes lit up as he said, “Sword Sage Pei, First Chief Bai, and the others only lost their Primordial Spirits in battle, but their physical bodies are still alive. What’s the situation with their physical bodies now?”

“Well…” Zeng Busi was stunned.

“I don’t know where Sword Sage Pei’s physical body is, but First Chief Bai’s physical body should be in White Emperor City, right?” Xiahou Chuanwu’s gaze was focused as he stared at Zeng Busi.

“I’ll go look for them immediately!”

Zeng Busi growled with his eyes closed.

Seeing this, Shi Que, Gong Junlian, Dongfang Pochu, and the others held their breaths and waited for the outcome.

Zeng Busan, Bai Zhankong, Pei Donglai, and Martial Sage Kong had all died in battle on the Continent of Divine Grace.

It was unknown where the latter two’s physical bodies were, but the former two’s were in White Emperor City that was floating in the air.

Zeng Busi’s physical body was also there. If he went to find Zeng Busan and Bai Zhankong, they would soon know the outcome.

This outcome…

“No!”

Suddenly, Zeng Busi cried out in alarm. He stood up and went berserk. “No, this is impossible! How is this possible?!”

“What’s wrong? What exactly happened?” asked He Sanxiao nervously.

“That’s right. How are their physical bodies?” Yu Huatian echoed.

Shi Que, Gong Junlian, Dongfang Pochu, and the others also held their breaths.

“This is impossible…”

Zeng Busi murmured, his face blank. His eyes were filled with fear and disbelief. “This is impossible…”

Buzz!

Xiahou Chuanwu landed a slap on Zeng Buqi’s chest, jolting him.

“Wake up, what’s going on?!” Xiahou Chuanwu growled.

“Dead… dead.” Zeng Busi came back to his senses. He shouted with a shadow of a smile, finding this reality difficult to accept, “Dead! Three and the First Chief are both dead! Their physical bodies have stopped breathing! Their heartbeats and consciousness have been destroyed!”

“How is this possible?”

“That’s impossible!”

“…”

The rest let out exclamations, shaking their heads in disbelief.

He Sanxiao and Xiahou Chuanwu stiffened.

“Dead? The Essence Soul was destroyed, and the physical body died as well? This is a fatal blow on the soul that completely destroys the consciousness as well!”

Xiahou Chuanwu spoke in a trembling voice, his eyes filled with shock, terror, and lingering fear.

“Why, why did this happen?”

Dongfang Pochu found it difficult to accept. “Didn’t they say that the destruction of the physical body or the Essence Soul has a limited effect on the other half? Why have they… died this time?”

“The demons! This must be the doing of the Saijin Demons!” Zeng Busi gritted his teeth and his body trembled slightly. “They seemed to have killed the Essence Soul, but in reality, even their consciousness had been destroyed! Without consciousness, the physical body…”

Without consciousness, how could the physical body continue to exist? Naturally, its vitality would be severed!

Zeng Busi’s physical body in White Emperor City had just gone to look for Zeng Busan and Bai Zhankong’s physical bodies. He discovered that the bodies they left behind had already turned into two corpses.

Dead…

The Essence Souls and physical bodies were both dead, completely dead!

No matter how unbelievable Shi Que, Gong Junlian, and the others found this, they had no choice but to accept this fact.

“In other words, Martial Sage Kong is also dead?”

Dongfang Pochu said softly, “His Primordial Spirit was destroyed and his physical body’s vital energy severed along with that?”

Silence.

A heavy and oppressive silence echoed.

Zeng Busan and Bai Zhankong’s physical bodies were both dead.

Could Martial Sage Kong be an exception?

Even Pei Donglai was most likely dead.

The cheers and joy from a moment ago were completely fake. It was too early to be happy.

The truth before them was cold, despairing, and terrifying.

If even Martial Sage Kong was dead, who could stop such a terrifying expert among the demons if the Two-World Gate were to be reopened?

Silence.

There was only silence.

At this moment, everyone was silent.

…

Also Earth Star.

Yu Nation, in the Blood Imprisonment Tower in the center of the Golden Sparrow Mountain Basin.

In an independent space.

The Cosmic Tower floated quietly. Inside the door of the fifth level, the Blood Doppelganger sat cross-legged and twisted its body.

Suddenly, the Blood Doppelganger, which had its eyes closed, opened its eyes and its breathing became heavier.

The Blood Doppelganger clearly did not need to breathe, but Su Jingxing was subconsciously panting heavily.

Su Jingxing’s Primordial Spirit had died too quickly.

After destroying the demonic artifact, the force that descended from the sky was too terrifying. With a light strike, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul collapsed and completely dissipated.

If not for the fact that Su Jingxing’s Blood Doppelganger had been staying in the Indestructibility space on the fifth level of the Cosmic Tower and its consciousness was protected by the Cosmic Tower, its consciousness would have dissipated the moment the Primordial Spirit collapsed.

“Demon Emperor? It’s definitely a seventh-realm Demon Emperor!”

Su Jingxing’s Blood Doppelganger recalled the feeling when the Primordial Spirit. Even Su Jingxing’s spiritual martial arts body could not withstand the powerful force that instantly reversed life and death and destroyed everything.

This power was called the power of the world.

A terrifying power that had fused with the Law of Life and Death!

And the power of the world was something that only seventh-realm Demon Emperors, Spirit Emperors, and Devil Emperors, human martial artists in the Seeking realm of the divine martial arts system, were qualified to grasp.

In this realm, the fusion of Laws would open up a world in the body.

The power of the world was even stronger than that of time and space.

Even Su Jingxing’s two-tribulation Overlord spiritual martial arts body could not withstand this force.

Only by continuing to transcend the void lightning tribulation and becoming a three-tribulation Overlord could he be immune!

“Aren’t the strongest existences on the Continent of Divine Grace the three Demon Kings? Why was a seventh-realm Demon Emperor here?”

Su Jingxing’s Blood Doppelganger gradually calmed down and pondered over the key question.

Clearly, the information obtained through the Memory Card and his interrogation was not complete enough.

The seventh-realm Demon Emperor who destroyed Su Jingxing’s Primordial Spirit with a shot of power of the world was also on the Continent of Divine Grace.

However, this fellow had been hiding behind the scenes the entire time.

Seeing that the demonic artifact was about to be destroyed, it suddenly attacked and killed Su Jingxing’s Primordial Spirit.

Even though the Cosmic Tower would revive him in the next second after his “death”, the Blood Doppelganger still felt lingering fear.

The power of the world fused with the power of the Law of Life and Death was too powerful.

It could alternate between life and death at will.

However…

During this process of “dying”, Su Jingxing’s Blood Doppelganger actually gained some enlightenment.

The… the Law of Death?

No, it should be the Dao sentiment and insight of death!

Such Dao sentiment and insight could only be comprehended by those who had “died” once and had powerful soul power.

Especially when Su Jingxing relied on the Cosmic Tower. One second ago, he “died”, and the next second, he was “revived”. The change between life and death brought about even stronger comprehension.

If, if he could follow this thread of comprehension and go deep into it, he would definitely have a chance to comprehend the Law of Life and Death!
