The Cosmic Marble Buddha was slightly moved after he witnessed Lin Feng’s sword in action, as it slayed the Heavens and Earth and catalyzed the end of countless concepts of the Great Dao.

In terms of destructive power and offensiveness, it was already far more powerful than his current self and Shakyamuni when he entered the Death Sea.

The Cosmic Marble Buddha took great notice of such an immense power. He even tried to figure out Lin Feng and the Heaven-Destroying Sword’s past, present and future. But he was caught in a loss.

Void space broke open and a charming young monk in a grey robe walked out. He bowed respectfully towards the Cosmic Marble Buddha, “Greetings, Buddha.”

This young monk in grey was the Golden Cicada Master, who had been hiding for a long time.

The Golden Cicada Master sighed and said, “I still thought that there’ll be some time before Lin Feng’s sword re-appears again. Lin Feng unsealed his Heaven-Destroying Sword in this crisis, but who would have expected that it would be successfully cultivated?”

The Cosmic Marble Buddha said calmly, “Following this, the situation will reverse again because of the Hades tribe reappearance.”

The Golden Cicada Master replied, “I will take due care.”

The Cosmic Marble Buddha nodded his head, “Golden Cicada, leave with Peacock.”

One of his 48,000 arms stretched out and his palm opened wide apart. A light ball flew out from his palm.

In the light ball, there was a monk in white seated cross-legged. Behind this monk, there was a penta-colored radiance that shone. But the undulation of power from this monk revealed him to be demonic.

However, this monk clasped his palms together and Buddhist powers surged out. Although he was still weak, his powers were increasing.

Even though he converted into his human form, the Golden Cicade Master could tell that this demon in the light ball was the most powerful under the Golden Roc Grand Sage, the Peacock Grand Sage.

The Peacock Grand Sage appeared very calm. He turned to Buddhism just like the Golden Cicada Master and practiced under the Cosmic Marble Buddha.

The Golden Cicada Master wasn’t surprised by this. The Peacock Grand Sage was meditating and had no intention of stopping, thus the Golden Cicada Master received the light ball from the Cosmic Marble Buddha directly. After that, he bowed towards the Cosmic Marble Buddha and said, “I shall take my leave.”

After he finished speaking, the Golden Cicada Master turned into a beam of golden light and left this Middle World.

The Cosmic Marble Buddha appeared indifferent and he shut his eyes slowly. He pondered in his head, “The Great Void Sect didn’t lose the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, but they can’t challenge the Celestial Sect of Wonders anymore…”

In boundless void space, there were no longer any enemies left. The frightening hostile gas whirlpool slowly disappeared, and Lin Feng retracted his sword. His figure shrank and he returned back to Mount Yujing. Mount Yujing also slowly returned to the Divine Lands.

Although Lin Feng’s sword disappeared temporarily, the entire Grand Celestial World situation had already changed significantly.

After the Hades tribe was forced back by Lin Feng, the Immemorial Celestial Dragons could only stay in the Black Sea. The Ancient Demon Apes returned to hiding in the Lingyuan Mountains. The three strongest tribes in the Barren Expanses were all forced back, while the Divine Lands’ human cultivators started to mount a counterattack.

Although Lin Feng remained in the Divine Lands without making a move, the Celestial Sect of Wonders continued to lead the charge as the human cultivators overwhelmed the Barren Expanses.

The Divine Lands had a shortage of resources previously, while the Barren Expanses had an abundance of them that were very useful for humans in the cultivation of magic items and pills. They could also be used to cultivated other types of resources. The humans ravaged the Barren Expanses in search of these resources then.

Right now, the humans also started to seize the same type of resources from Middle Worlds and alternate planes of spaces that the demons once controlled.

The Heavenly Master Sword Sect, Lightning Sword Sect, Sword of Radiance Sect and other sword sects suffered huge losses previously because of the Saintly Celestial Primordial Sword Formation. They were scavenging for resources now to make up for their previous losses.

The Great Qin Empire also did the same, as they followed everyone to counter against the Barren Expanses.

After the three strongest demon tribes retreated, the rest of the demons were also forced back. It was not difficult for them to make a choice between saving their lives and losing both their lives and their land.

In this War of the Two Worlds, it wasn’t just in the aspect of resource competition that had the greatest influence.

The Barren Expanses wasn’t exactly barren. It’s just that the flow of spiritual energy in the Barren Expanses wasn’t suitable for humans. It was more suited for demons.

However, the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Purple Clouds Sect, Royal House of the Northern Tribes, Great Zhou Empire and other powers were starting to take control of a few places in the Barren Expanses that had great potential.

These sects and powers possessed sufficient number of powerful cultivators and amount of resources to change the geography and environment of a certain plot of land. After a period of restructuring, they would be able to turn these plots of land into grounds that were suitable for humans.

In the past, the problem of taking control of such plots of land didn’t lie in how to restructure them. Rather, the problem was how they could be defended.

That’s why no one could gain any significant control over any areas in the Barren Expanses except for the Great Void Sect’s Mount Taihua and Shi Tianhao’s Wasteland Residence.

At the same time, both these places also had defensive measures in place to guard against any unprecedented situations or attacks by the demons.

Mount Taihua and Mount Baiyun were connected by a stable passageway. This allowed Mount Taihua to be reinforced by Mount Baiyun when necessary. It was only through the reappearance of the Hades tribe that the passageway was destroyed.

Whereas Shi Tianhao’s Wasteland Residence wasn’t too far off from the opening of the passageway in the Barren Expanses that led to the Divine Lands.

Shi Tianhao seized this territory then for the purpose of introducing a bait to be used during the War of the Two Worlds. It’s just that the progression of the War of the Two Worlds went entirely wayward from what was expected, hence this move to take control of the Wasteland Residence didn’t proceed in the way they wanted.

However, the humans’ victory in the War of the Two Worlds led to countless territories in the Barren Expanses being seized by various sects and powers.

With Lin Feng around, the demons couldn’t do anything about it since they couldn’t deal with his sword.

It wasn’t just the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ territories in the Barren Expanses that the demons were afraid of attacking. They did not dare to touch the territories that belonged to allies of the Celestial Sect of Wonders too, as they were afraid that the Celestial Sect of Wonders would reinforce them and help them to exact revenge. Even the Hades tribe, Celestial Dragons and Ancient Demon Apes did not act recklessly too.

Because of the pressure exerted by the humans, the demons started to team up together. The three strongest tribes led the rest of the demons against the humans.

This was unseen before, especially since there was no Holy Demonic Emperor to unify the demons.

Qinglian led a portion of the Hades Beast to a particular ground in the Barren Expanses. The Earth Dragon King emerged from the Black Sea and arrived at this ground to rendezvous with Qinglian. The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage remained on Lingyuan Mountains while the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage rushed to this rendezvous point too.

The gathering of the second most powerful demons from each of the three strongest tribes slowed down the pace of the humans.

The Illusory Sun Hades, Origins Dragon King and Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage did not act recklessly. Whereas Lin Feng remained on Mount Yujing that continued to hang high in the sky above the Divine Lands.

Both parties started to develop their own chemistry. The most intense and brutal segment of the War of the Two Worlds was about to ensue. This was the finale of the war.

But the humans pushed the frontline of the war all the way to the Barren Expanses. The amount of territory that the demons controlled decreased slowly.

Many of the human sects and powers started to turn towards the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Lin Feng’s might was unrivalled at this current moment.

But there were many who developed various ideas as the war reached this stage.

The Heavenly Master Swordmaster and the Celestial Sword Elder came to the Barren Expanses at the same time. The Heavenly Master Swordmaster looked at a spiritual mountain that the Heavenly Master Swordmaster seized and said, “Lin Feng’s Heaven-Destroying Sword is very destructive. To wield it without suffering from backlash is unimaginable.”

“It seems like Lin Feng also has a limit to how much he can control this sword. He can’t use it too many times repeatedly.”

The Celestial Sword Elder nodded his head after hearing his words, “That frightening sword will is enough to leave one fearful just by sensing its presence. It’s just like seeing the destruction of the Grand Celestial World. Honestly speaking, I don’t think anyone else can wield the sword apart from Lin Feng.”

“That sword is different from the Supreme Heavenly Mirror. It can’t be controlled just because one’s cultivation is high.”

The Heavenly Master Swordmaster added on, “That’s right. Moreover, even if Lin Feng had his limits and he exceeds that limit, no one can stop the sword. If he suffers from the backlash from the sword, his enemies will suffer the same fate too. The best result is if everyone dies together. But the problem is that no one knows what the limit is. They may be killed by him because they want to test his limit.”

The Celestial Sword Elder laughed bitterly, “Lin Feng is unpredictable. No one knows the true extent of his powers. At least I don’t believe that four strikes is his limit.”

The Heavenly Master Swordmaster said, “It definitely isn’t. The Supreme Heavenly Mirror is still in the Great Void Sect’s hands too.”

The Celestial Sword Elder sighed suddenly, “The Supreme Heavenly Mirror still remains with the Great Void Sect eventually. But the Great Void Sect can no longer compare to the Celestial Sect of Wonders. They can only remain committed to their own defense. Maybe they’ll have a fighting chance if they wait for the Supreme Heavenly Mirror to reach its peak. But who can predict what’s going to happen?”

It’s just like how no one predicted the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ phenomenal rise.

The Heavenly Master Swordmaster remained calm and his gaze flashed. He did not object to that conclusion.

In the Divine Lands right now, almost everyone had the same thought.

The top sect in the Divine Lands, the Great Void Sect, had been surpassed by a new power!

Maybe it’s just for the moment, since the future was unpredictable. But no one could refute this point.

The number one Holy Ground in the Divine Lands now belonged to the Celestial Sect of Wonders!

On Mount Yujing, Lin Feng sat quietly above the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. The frightening Heaven-Destroying Sword reverted to Xuan Li’s look and she stood beside Lin Feng quietly.

At this moment, a system announcement rang in Lin Feng’s head.
