Indeed, it has been too long.

Long enough for everything to change.

“We need to join forces. He’s already half a step into Venerable. If he hadn’t sacrificed so much, he would have broken through after all these years. We just need to buy some time,” Hua Yun said, her gaze fixed on the distant Li Qingshan. She knew he was breaking through, accumulating his strength.

Li Qingshan needed time!

Though she didn’t know Li Qingshan’s exact plan, she could buy him some time.

Shi Tian watched Hua Yun and the Primordial Heavenly Demon converse, his brow furrowed. The earlier commotion had gradually subsided, leaving him unharmed and still as powerful as a demon god.

His hair danced wildly, his eyes glowing with a deep purple light, vast and profound, as he stared at the Flower Immortal and shouted, “How did you escape from the Supreme Path?”

“Not the same way you did,” Hua Yun said calmly.

“You know how I returned?” Shi Tian was shocked, unable to believe it.

“You traded your life to the merchants on the Supreme Path, giving away all your treasures, abandoning everything of your true self, in exchange for a slim chance to escape. You are no longer who you once were. Your body and everything you were has been lost. You will never cross into the next realm. Even though the Venerable aura in this universe is faint, it should have been enough for you to move the other half step forward. But you cannot break through. You will never have hope in this life!” Hua Yun sneered.

“Impudent!” Shi Tian roared, glaring at Hua Yun, his eyes cold and furious. His heart trembled; Hua Yun knew the truth.

“You returned just like I did. How can you righteously accuse me?” Shi Tian fumed.

“I said, I’m different from you,” Hua Yun replied calmly, her whole body glowing with flower petals swirling around her, resembling an unrivaled immortal.

“Your cultivation isn’t as strong as mine. How could you return?” Shi Tian questioned, pointing at Hua Yun in disbelief.

“You always wanted to see the Buddha. On the Supreme Path, you must have heard his legends. The Buddha walked further than you. He sent me back,” Hua Yun revealed, leaving Shi Tian stunned.

As long as she could delay, Hua Yun wouldn’t make the first move.

“The Buddha sent you back?” Shi Tian was beyond astonished.

“Impossible!”

“Absolutely impossible!”

“On the Supreme Path, no one can leave unless they meet the plane merchants, sacrificing everything to trade with them. No one can leave on their own, let alone send someone out!” Shi Tian shook his head, his heart deeply shaken, unwilling to believe it.

“No other reason needed. He is the Buddha!” Hua Yun’s voice was clear and resonant, making Shi Tian fall silent.

He trembled, his expression complex, his eyes filled with venom.

They had entered the Supreme Path at the same time, both starting as Venerables.

But why did the Buddha continue to advance, leaving countless legends on the Supreme Path, while Shi Tian, despite his struggles, could only hear of the Buddha’s name?

At first, Shi Tian admired the Buddha.

But later, jealousy took over.

Both were geniuses of the same universe, both reaching the pinnacle before entering the Supreme Path. But why could the Buddha become famous in the universe and among all clans, while Shi Tian had to struggle for survival amidst countless dangers?

In the end, Shi Tian traded everything with the merchants, choosing a difficult escape from the Supreme Path.

Returning to the Fourth World, he immediately declared a break with the Immortal Plane and built barriers to trap it.

The entire tale of chaos in the Immortal Plane over millions of years began with Shi Tian’s jealousy of the Buddha.

Now, Hua Yun’s words left Shi Tian speechless.

His hatred surged violently.

Under the starry sky, Shi Tian’s hair flowed wildly, and his deep eyes filled with murderous intent.

Anything related to the Buddha infuriated him!

Kill!

At this moment, without any warning, Shi Tian roared angrily. The aura around his body surged, and he stood there like a divine king. Streaks of starlight gathered towards him.

In the end, a vast waterfall of starry radiance fell upon his body, creating a sea of light that made the starry sky tremble.

“Heaven and earth, I alone reign supreme!”

“I am the strongest in this universe!”

Shi Tian roared, his hair flying, his body like a demon god as he swung his fist, invincible.

Thump thump thump!

The entire starry sky revived as if possessing its own will, bursting with Dao patterns that intertwined into countless rays of light, making Shi Tian seem like the ruler of the universe.

The previously dark universe now shone white, the power of numerous stars gathering to forge an invincible path for Shi Tian.

“Boom!”

A giant hand formed from star radiance clenched into a fist, crashing down. Shi Tian roared, more valiant than ever, his body covered in Dao marks, emitting a blazing light.

At this moment, Hua Yun and the Primordial Heavenly Demon became serious, working together with a tacit understanding formed over many years.

“One thought blooms, ruling the world!”

Hua Yun’s clear voice rang out, her thoughts blooming into countless flowers, each containing vast power.

Now, she was surrounded by tens of thousands of flowers, all her thoughts.

These thoughts erupted, clashing with Shi Tian’s massive hand.
