"The opportunity to become Da Luo lies within!"
Shen Ni said with a firm tone, a premonition that his chance to prove his Dao had arrived!
"That's wonderful!" Xiang Gu's Mutual Gaze Corpse was happy for him. Although they did not obtain the Dao Fruit this time, they managed to snatch the completed Da Luo Soul Light, which was akin to indirectly obtaining Da Luo's strength.
By offering this as a sacrifice, perhaps they could trade for something good from the Chaos Demon God!
"Let's go, we shall return to the Undying Mountain to summon the spirit!"
"Perhaps this will cause a great disturbance, fulfilling the beautiful wish to wreak havoc upon the Primordial!"
Shen Ni was brimming with confidence. He lifted the Chaos Coffin, ready to break through the void and return to his sanctuary.
Thud~~
Just as he took a step, Shen Ni suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed with a thud.
"Shen Ni!" Xiang Gu's Mutual Gaze Corpse exclaimed in shock. With one hand, he steadied the Chaos Coffin to prevent Shen Ni from being crushed to death.
"You, you, you... what's wrong with you?"
Xiang Gu's Mutual Gaze Corpse tightened inside, frantically looking at his companion.
He had kept his promise this time, not abandoning Shen Ni to escape alone!
How could he still be dying?
"Curse... curse." Shen Ni's lips were almost devoid of blood, his face ashen and frightening, as if gasping his last breath.
"What?" Xiang Gu's Mutual Gaze Corpse thought of the Heavenly Venerates that had been cursed to death.
"Take me back to the Undying Mountain, quickly!" Shen Ni's voice was extremely weak.
"Alright!"
Xiang Gu's Mutual Gaze Corpse surprisingly proved reliable. He quickly hoisted Shen Ni and carefully sealed him into the Chaos Coffin.
"Hey, hey, hey, Shen Ni, you must hold on, don't die!"
"Xiang Gu the Great has kept his promise; this time I didn't use you as a shield, how can you die?"
"If you die, you'll be the one breaking the agreement!"
"If that happens, don't blame Xiang Gu the Great for emptying your Undying Mountain and inheriting your legacy."
He swung his long halberd and sped back to the Primordial True Realm, causing a ruckus across countless Tao Domains and timelines along the way.
"Who is this, rushing home to mourn?"
"Pangu's axe, who smashed my sanctuary!"
"Hey, my Pill Furnace, the Resurrection Pills I just refined!"
"Dammit, who stole my Soul Stabilizing Pearl!!"
One after another, the Divine beings cursed angrily.
"Those who block my path shall die!"
Xiang Gu's Mutual Gaze Corpse was exceptionally brave. Holding his long halberd and carrying Shen Ni's Chaos Coffin, he headed straight for the Undying Mountain.
Along the way, he also dissolved countless Dao Bodies, plundering each Tao Domain to collect all manner of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Spiritual Elixirs.
He truly lived up to his word: yielding and nodding in the Primordial, throwing heavy punches in All Heavens!

In the Xuantai Universe.
As Xuanqing delivered the final Primordial Seal, evoking the images of Chaos's creation and destruction, everything came to an end.
Infinite Heavenly Venerate's forehead was pierced, and his Primordial Spirit was directly obliterated.
He fell from the Space-Time River into Chaos, with the Great Dao's true intent of ending all laws rapidly disintegrating his form and spirit.
Infinite Heavenly Venerate looked at the figure above the Space-Time River.
Vaguely, he saw the Fuli Primordial Heavenly Venerate sitting amidst the azure sky.
That figure was draped in seventy-two colors, with a bright halo above his head, evolving the images of Chaos's creation and destruction.
He held a Li Pearl in his hand, emitting boundless light, containing everything in the universe within it.
There was a hint of reluctance in Infinite Heavenly Venerate's eyes,
Ultimately, he let out a resigned smile.
"Today, although I perish, I am still the Greedy Demon God!"
Infinite Heavenly Venerate looked at Xuanqing and calmly said, "I was born of the Dao, presiding over greed, and no sentient beings in the world can escape the shackles of this word!"
"Even if I am obliterated today, one day, I shall return."
"Any last words?" Xuanqing's tone was gentle, very kind.
He was always tolerant towards the deceased.
He did not deny Infinite Heavenly Venerate's words either.
Da Luo Supreme, once proven, is forever.
Even if Infinite Heavenly Venerate was mediocre, he possessed the characteristics of Da Luo.
In his past life, he was Da Luo; in this life, he is Da Luo; and if he successfully returns in the next life, he would certainly prove again upon the path of Da Luo.
Moreover, because this fellow dabbled in the faith, future divine beings who toy with faith must be wary.
Suppressing greed, or renouncing it, will be a compulsory lesson for cultivators on the path of faith.
Otherwise, they may very well become his real anchors for return.
"Aren't you worried that I might disrupt your Tao lineage in the future?" asked Infinite Heavenly Venerate.
Xuanqing was puzzled, "What gives you such confidence?"
"If I can kill you now, I can do it again in the future."
"Even if you crawl out of the Space-Time River, I can just kill you again, can't I?"
Before him, a loser once is a loser for life.
Not to mention disrupting Xuanqing's Tao lineage, even if Infinite Heavenly Venerate returns in the future, he may struggle against the disciples of Chan Sect if he cannot go before the beginning of the world and retrieve all that belonged to the Chaos Demon God.
"Also, who told you the Da Luo Supreme can definitely return from the Space-Time River?"
Xuanqing looked at the wide-eyed Infinite Heavenly Venerate and calmly said, "If I want to nail down your coffin lid, I have at least nine ways to do it, nine!"
"Do you understand?"
"So, don't pine for such unrealistic things. You're better off becoming one with the Dao!"
Xuanqing stretched out his hand, and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi flew into his palm.
"Treasure, send him on his way!"
"Okay!"
The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi charged forth.
"Treasure, meet your demise, yah yah yah!!"
Thud!!
The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi fiercely struck Infinite Heavenly Venerate's crown, scattering his True Spirit.
"Treasure, go in peace. Don't die next to me again, okay?"
"Got it? Treasure!"
Infinite Heavenly Venerate's eyes were wide open, dying with grievances unappeased.
It's unknown whether it was out of shame from the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi or not.
But from his final somewhat defiant expression, he likely was curious to know how Xuanqing would nail down his coffin lid.
