With just a single divine ability, "Moving Mountains," Xu Fang summoned two towering peaks from the mortal realm, crushing three hundred thousand heavenly soldiers in an instant!

  Boom!—

  Xu Fang didn't stop. His arms grew longer as he lifted the two mountains again and hurled them with all his might!

  Boom!—

  Boom!—

  The entire Three Realms seemed to fall silent at that moment.

  And the Three Realms seemed to be bathed in a world of blood!

  On the battlefield, Xu Fang stood tall and alone, surrounded by endless resentment, like an ancient demon god!

  Of the million soldiers who had come as reinforcements, less than a hundred thousand remained!

  A true scene of a million corpses and rivers of blood!

  The immortals and buddhas watching from above turned pale at the sight.

  They never expected Xu Fang to be so formidable, capable of fighting a million heavenly soldiers alone!

  "Could it be that his mana will never run out?"

  Someone among the immortals and buddhas murmured in disbelief.

  It was no wonder they found it hard to believe. After all, the consumption of divine abilities was directly proportional to their power.

  The "Moving Mountains" ability was inherently mana-intensive, and the mountains Xu Fang had summoned came from the mortal realm, crossing the barrier between realms.

  This barrier had a time-flow separation, and directly summoning mountains from the mortal realm consumed an astronomical amount of mana!

  How was Xu Fang able to sustain this?

  This question filled the minds of all the immortals and buddhas.

  The Purple Subtlety Emperor and the others had faces ashen with anger. The loss of a million soldiers had dealt a devastating blow to their forces, undoing years of secret efforts in a single day!

  But at this point, there was no use in saying more. The Purple Subtlety Emperor could only let out a cold snort, no longer in the mood to stay, and left with a flick of his sleeve.

  The Gouchen Emperor and the Longevity Emperor also sighed and left one after another, not even bothering to bid farewell to the Jade Emperor.

  Watching their retreating figures, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but let out a cold snort, though inwardly, he was filled with satisfaction.

  And a hint of pleasant surprise.

  To be honest, he had been pleasantly surprised when Xu Fang managed to slaughter the initial three hundred thousand heavenly soldiers. After all, three hundred thousand soldiers, each at least at the Earth Immortal level, was no small feat!

  As for the subsequent million soldiers, his original intention had been for Xu Fang to kill as many as he could. If it became too much, Xu Fang could simply flee.

  This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

  As former ruler and subject, the Jade Emperor was willing to spare Xu Fang once.

  But he never expected Xu Fang to deliver such an astonishing surprise!

  A single battle, a million corpses!

  A single strike, rivers of blood!

  After this battle, Xu Fang's name would spread throughout the Three Realms!

  ...

  Suddently, the Tathagata and the others raised their eyebrows, turning to look, only to find that Xu Fang's figure had already disappeared at some point. To escape under the noses of so many powerful beings, it must have been Master Bodhi's doing!

  "Decree: The Demon-Slaying Divine General Xu Fang has violated heavenly law and committed heinous crimes. He is hereby declared a wanted criminal!"

  Satisfied with Xu Fang's performance, the Jade Emperor spoke calmly.

  The Gold Star of Venus quickly acknowledged the order.

  "Interesting."

  Among the Three Pure Ones, Master Tongtian smiled faintly and sent a mental message: "At the appropriate time, we can make contact with this Xu Fang and probe his background."

  Yunxiao, standing behind him, nodded in agreement.

  With Xu Fang, the main instigator of the chaos, now gone, there was no point in continuing the Peaceful Heaven Assembly.

  The Three Pure Ones and the Tathagata bid farewell to the Jade Emperor and returned to their respective domains.

  The Jade Emperor's decree also spread throughout the Three Realms!

  ...

  Xu Fang, the renowned War God of the Heavenly Court and Demon-Slaying Divine General, had betrayed the Heavenly Court!

  After killing his fellow officials and violating heavenly law, he had fallen into demonic ways, slaughtering over a million heavenly soldiers in a single battle!

  And in the end, he escaped unscathed!

  This news shocked the entire Three Realms. Everyone was stunned by Xu Fang's glorious achievements and his audacity to unleash such carnage at the South Heavenly Gate!

  However, after this battle, the once-famous Demon-Slaying Divine General Xu Fang seemed to have vanished from the Three Realms.

  Despite repeated searches by the Heavenly Court's forces, no trace of Xu Fang could be found.

  ...

  Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed.

  Mount Fangcun.

  Xu Fang slowly opened his eyes from meditation and exhaled a turbid breath.

  "It's been a hundred years..."

  Xu Fang examined the black karmic force enwinding within his body and couldn't help but sigh.

  Slaughtering a million heavenly soldiers in a single battle might have seemed incredibly heroic, but the aftermath was something only Xu Fang truly understood.

  Thanks to the system's daily check-ins, Xu Fang's personal attributes far surpassed those of cultivators at the same level. But even that couldn't withstand the sheer number of heavenly soldiers.

  In the end, Xu Fang's mana was nearly depleted, forcing him to leave a few thousand soldiers alive and flee with the help of Bodhi.

  The depletion of his mana was manageable; it would recover over time. The more serious issue was the karmic force within him!

  A million heavenly soldiers—though their cultivation levels weren't high, they were still living beings of the Three Realms.

  Xu Fang's glorious slaughter of so many soldiers had been satisfying, but the karmic force from those soldiers was now a heavy burden.

  A hundred years had passed, and he had only managed to dissipate thirty percent of the karmic force!

  Examining the remaining karmic force within him, Xu Fang couldn't help but sigh.

  If he couldn't find a way to completely eliminate this karmic force, his cultivation would likely stagnate!

  The merits he had accumulated from slaying demons and monsters across the Three Realms, as well as the the power of worship he had gained in the Heavenly Court, had all been exhausted over the past hundred years.

  Even so, seventy percent of the karmic force remained.

  "Wu Fa, how is it going?"

  A calm voice sounded, and Xu Fang quickly stood up, bowing respectfully. "Master, my mana has fully recovered, but the karmic force within me remains unresolved."

  Master Bodhi's figure entered the cave, and after examining Xu Fang's condition, he nodded slightly. "A hundred years to dissipate thirty percent of the karmic force is not bad."

  "But Master, most of the karmic force within me still remains. What should I do?"

  After leaving the South Heavenly Gate and the mountain of corpses behind, Xu Fang had quietly returned to Mount Fangcun.

  Fortunately, Master Bodhi had always been here, with a protective formation around the mountain that only Xu Fang could pass through.

  "There are only two ways to dissipate karmic force," Master Bodhi said after a moment of contemplation. "The first is to use immense merit to forcibly eliminate the karmic force. However, since you are now a wanted criminal by the Heavenly Court, obtaining such vast merit is unlikely."

  Xu Fang's expression darkened, but Master Bodhi smiled and said, "The second method, however, is worth trying."

  "Master, please explain."

  Xu Fang spoke up. "I have also thought about ways to dissipate karmic force. Aside from merit, I know that some innate treasures can also achieve this. Is that what you mean, Master?"
