Chapter 3359: Chapter 3357: Choice

The battle between Saint Lord Space Time, the Mountain Chief, the Evil Lady, Saint Lord Nirvana and Great Saint Chaos Universe caused a huge commotion in the major chiliocosm!

The living beings of the ten thousand races knew that the major chiliocosm was about to face another turmoil!

However, no one could anticipate the final outcome of this battle.

Among the five Saint Lords, there were still people who had yet to attack.

As for the Lords of the Four Paths, only the Evil Lady appeared.

It was not until a green light bloomed above the Nirvana Sanctuary that the experts of the ten thousand races vaguely realized that the person who could truly determine the outcome had already appeared!

Boom!

There was a loud bang!

Great Saint Chaos Universe fell heavily to the ground, creating a gigantic pit.

Saint Lord Nirvana was in possession of the Saint Slaying Spear. It was already his limit for him to last until now!

Great Saint Chaos Universe struggled and stood up from the deep pit. His body was already covered in injuries and he was extremely weak. His Great Dao was shattered and he did not have much combat strength left.

However, one of his palms was still clenched, protecting Monkey from all harm.

“Chaos Universe, die!”

In a flash, Saint Lord Nirvana arrived before Great Saint Chaos Universe in the next moment. The Saint Slaying Spear buzzed and trembled, emitting an aura that could destroy Great Daos as it stabbed over!

Before the Saint Slaying Spear arrived, the surrounding void had already shattered.

Saint Lord Nirvana had naturally already sensed what happened in the Nirvana Sanctuary.

However, even if he gave up on killing Great Saint Chaos Universe and returned right now, it would be too late.

The only way was to kill Great Saint Chaos Universe first before heading over to kill Desolate Martial!

Suddenly!

A green figure appeared in the shattered void in front of Great Saint Chaos Universe. His blood qi burst forth and Chaos Qi filled the air. He wielded two swords and slashed towards the Saint Slaying Spear!

Su Zimo had arrived!

Clang!

The spear and swords collided and sparks flew, emitting a deafening sound!

Su Zimo shuddered and could barely maintain his grip on the Avici and Nether Swords as he retreated a step.

As for the Avici and Nether Swords, they let out dull hums as well. Their bodies trembled endlessly as they tried their best to resolve the impact of the Saint Slaying Spear.

Ever since the Avici and Nether Swords were born, they had always been successful and destroyed everything.

However, against a Heavenly Dao Saint Weapon, the Avici and Nether Swords were still slightly inferior in the end!

Of course, the two swords were still much stronger than Saint Weapons.

Even after taking the Heavenly Dao Saint Weapon head-on, they were not shattered or damaged.

“You came at the right time!”

Saint Lord Nirvana’s gaze was cold and murderous.

“Desolate Martial, hand over Illumination and Nether Glow and I’ll leave you with an intact corpse!”

Saint Lord Yin Yang’s voice sounded.

Two Saint Lords were here!

“Can you hold on?”

When Great Saint Chaos Universe saw that, he was secretly speechless and sent a voice transmission, “Why don’t we escape to the 33 Heavens? Their combat strength is limited there.”

Great Saint Chaos Universe saw Su Zimo’s head-on clash with Saint Lord Nirvana earlier on.

Given his judgment, he could naturally tell that it was not easy for Su Zimo to defend against Saint Lord Nirvana.

Su Zimo had yet to advance to the Saint realm. The reason why he could fight against Saint Lord Nirvana was entirely because he had just obtained the Chaos Saint Body and the Avici and Nether Swords.

Su Zimo had no chance of winning against two Saint Lords and two Heavenly Dao Saint Weapons!

Saint Lord Nirvana and Saint Lord Yin Yang wielded Heavenly Dao Saint Weapons and blocked Su Zimo’s escape route one after another.

Naturally, the two Saint Lords knew that today was the best opportunity to kill Su Zimo!

Once they missed this opportunity today, it would be too late for regrets.

To Su Zimo, the current situation was even more dangerous and treacherous than what the Mountain Chief faced in the Space Time Forbidden Ground earlier on!

When the Mountain Chief faced the two Saint Lords, he had the Human Book and the help of the Evil Lady.

As for Great Saint Chaos Universe, he had already lost his combat strength and could not help much at all.

This meant that Su Zimo would have to face the two Saint Lords alone!

…

Ancestral Fire Sanctuary.

The battle between the Great Saints outside was earthshaking, but Saint Lord Ancestral Fire stood in front of a quiet courtyard with a heavy heart and hesitated.

The turmoil of the major chiliocosm this time round made him feel uneasy.

Perhaps because he had a hunch of what was to come, there were things he wanted to say to the people in the courtyard.

He was worried that he would no longer get the chance to do so in the future.

“Gu Yao.”

A moment later, Saint Lord Ancestral Fire said in a low voice, “I lost my composure earlier on and hit you… It’s my fault. Please don’t blame me.”

It was silent in Gu Yao Courtyard and there was no response.

Saint Lord Ancestral Fire sighed gently. “I know that you still bear a grudge against what happened back then.”

“Although Yan Ji died, she has already reincarnated in this generation and the two of you have already reunited.”

“As for your mother, she… I didn’t expect her to be so unyielding and resolute. Her death hurts me more than anyone else.”

“My sister and I naturally believe you.”

A voice sounded, crisp and pleasant with a hint of mockery. “Just like those consorts and Dao Companions in your harem. It’s the same way you’ll be sad when they die.”

Saint Lord Ancestral Fire stammered, “Your mother is definitely different from them…”

“I don’t see any difference.”

The voice sounded once more and mocked, “Back then, it was Mother and Uncle Gu who accompanied us all the way as we grew up while you spent your days gallivanting with that group of consorts and Dao Companions, long forgotten about us.”

“Yan Ji, you…”

Saint Lord Ancestral Fire was momentarily speechless.

After a moment of silence, he said, “As Saint Lord Ancestral Fire, I possess eternal life. It’s normal for me to have more than one wife and some consorts.”

Yan Ji said, “That’s right. You couldn’t bear to part with your status and everything you had. That’s why you chose to break off ties with Mother back then to suppress the three Sanctuaries.”

“I had no choice in what happened back then.”

Saint Lord Ancestral Fire said, “Even if I chose to join forces with the three Sanctuaries, it wouldn’t have changed the outcome. I would have been killed as well and the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary would have been destroyed! Even as a Saint Lord, I couldn’t have changed the entire situation.”

“Gu Yao, Yan Ji, I’ve let you guys down previously.”

A look of guilt flashed through Saint Lord Ancestral Fire’s eyes. “I hope that I can make up for it in the future and hope that you guys can forgive me.”

In front of outsiders, he was the high and mighty Saint Lord revered by the ten thousand races.

However, at that moment, he only wanted to be a father.

The door of Gu Yao Courtyard suddenly opened.

Saint Gu Yao and Yan Ji stood at the door.

The appearance of Yan Ji was none other than Demoness Ji of Tianhuang Mainland!

At that moment, Demoness Ji’s expression towards Saint Lord Ancestral Fire was extremely hostile.

On the other hand, Saint Gu Yao had a calm expression.

“Father, please leave.”

Suddenly, Saint Gu Yao spoke.

“Gu Yao, y-you’re finally willing to call me father?”

Saint Lord Ancestral Fire was delighted and could not believe it for a moment.

Ever since Xuan Pin died, Saint Gu Yao had never taken the initiative to meet him or address him as her father.

“You’re willing to forgive me?”

Saint Lord Ancestral Fire asked hurriedly.

Saint Gu Yao looked at Saint Lord Ancestral Fire with an indifferent gaze and said calmly, “I no longer blame or hold a grudge against you. Naturally, there’s no need for forgiveness.”

When Saint Lord Ancestral Fire saw Saint Gu Yao like this, he seemed to have thought of something and his heart sank. “You’re going to take that step?”

It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for a Saint to advance further.

It was especially so after that huge turmoil where many Saints died. Ever since then, no Saint in the major chiliocosm could advance further to become a Great Saint!

However, Saint Lord Ancestral Fire knew that if anyone could become a Great Saint, Gu Yao would be one of them!

Now that Gu Yao had taken that step, it meant that their father-daughter relationship would be severed forever!

Saint Gu Yao said, “More than six billion years ago, you had your difficulties and made your choice. Right now, it’s the same for me.”

“This is the last time I’ll call you father.”

With that said, the door of Gu Yao Courtyard closed once more.
