Before Shenxiu advanced to Dharma Body, it had consumed quite a bit of time.
And given the terrifying difference in the flow of time between the two worlds, strictly speaking, this world should have already been destroyed.
But when Shenxiu used the Key of Heart to open the Door of Ten Thousand Gates, he actively used the power of the Light of Order to create a loophole.
A loophole of order, which also belongs to order itself!
The comparative flow of time between the two worlds was subtly altered.
The situation that appeared was that after Shenxiu upgraded and returned, this world seemed to have only passed in an instant.
At this moment, Shenxiu saw that the King of Ten Thousand Demons was only one step away from fully descending into reality, and he directly went all out—no, he released his Dharma Body!
His body quickly swelled and cracked open, with countless mysteries flowing out, as if some monster had torn through a layer of human skin.
Suddenly, he transformed into a giant dark Buddha statue.
This Buddha statue had a thousand arms, each twisted and bizarre, with an eye open in the palm of each hand, and its body branded with patterns of dark, decaying lotuses, more sinister than the Evil God himself.
More crucially, it was far larger than the King of Ten Thousand Demons, looking as though akin to the difference between an adult and a child.
Crack!
Crack!
Many eyes fixated on the King of Ten Thousand Demons, countless arms thunderously fell, smashing onto the King of Ten Thousand Demons.
In an instant, it was unknown whether there were thousands or tens of thousands of strikes that landed on the King of Ten Thousand Demons, directly causing horrifying cracks to appear on his body of curses.
As for curses? Or contamination?
In terms of horror, Shenxiu's Dharma Body was still a notch above!
The next moment, the shattered mythic body of the King of Ten Thousand Demons, gained one crimson eyeball after another, emitting terrifying rays.
Puff! Puff!
Countless rays fell on the dark ancient Buddha, blocked by a layer of stone-like skin.
The giant ancient Buddha then transformed into a shapeless, towering figure, extending countless tentacles and appendages around, the tips split open, turning into ferocious mouths.
An extreme terror and madness reversed onto the King of Ten Thousand Demons, making this mythic being, who had only regained part of his self, instantly lose his rational balance.
On his body, cursive seals transformed into vermin, seemingly wanting to leave that body and split apart!
In a flash, the King of Ten Thousand Demons seemed to travel through space, distancing himself from his previous position.
Sizzle!
His ribs split open, stretching out several strange arms coated with sticky liquid, collectively forming a hand symbol.
It seemed like a beginning but also a primeval form, resembling a Möbius strip.
Shenxiu suddenly felt the surrounding scenery receding, as if time were flowing backward.
—Restart!
This King of Ten Thousand Demons actually possessed the ability to restart the entire world!
He even sensed that Shenxiu had just advanced and wanted to restart him, returning to the moment before the advancement.
But Shenxiu's face bore a smile of a conspiracy triumph, transforming from an indescribable figure into human form and tossing the Key of Heart in his hand.
This was the sole divinity, the embodiment of the Light of Order!
The sole divinity was a symbol, a concept—somewhere between reality and illusion.
And the Key of Heart was the complete manifestation of this sole divinity!
The Sole One, unique in all worlds, unique in time and space!
This restart was naturally bound to fail.
But just as his opponent was about to fail, Shenxiu's smile widened: "If that's the case, then let's play along!"
He suddenly let go of the restriction, allowing the restart to proceed.
Not only that, he even used his own Twelve Yuan Chen Universe Divine Light in combination with the Key of Heart, completely resetting this world.
And, on the timeline, he continuously traced back!
After half-mastering the unique divinity, although he couldn't reverse the Three Thousand Worlds, resetting such a Small Thousand World was no problem.
Originally, Zhong Shenxiu was astonished by the Demon Hunter World that had been reset multiple times, amazed by the power of the tail-eating snake.
Now it seemed that what was difficult for others was easy for him.
In the real world, everyone's actions were in reverse, clocks turned backwards, the sun rose in the west and set in the east...
Everything, everything was regressing, everything was retracing...
The only constant was Zhong Shenxiu himself, who possessed the unique divinity!
Even though the entire Small Thousand World reset, reverting back many years, his power level remained as Dharma Body, eternally attained!
This wasn't his own power level but rather the anchoring effect brought by the unique divinity.
The King of Ten Thousand Demons wanted to reset everything but that was just picking up a rock only to drop it on his own feet.
In Zhong Shenxiu's eyes, the King of Ten Thousand Demons rapidly reversed, the mythical body split again into demons scattering around the world, repeating the harvesting process.
It was during the Late Tianyuan period, when countries were fragmented, demons descended to the mundane world, and human life was like hell.
Zhong Shenxiu couldn't be bothered to study the history of this world; he only faintly remembered it was previously a feudal dynasty followed by a chaotic era of small states warring.
Now, he was walking on desolate farmland.
With the outbreak of war, farmland was abandoned, and famine would eventually hit.
The nearby small village seemed not to have abandoned its fields due to the conflict, but rather because of... demons!
In the barren wheat fields, a white-clad figure could be vaguely seen, wandering back and forth.
She appeared to be a woman, dressed in a long white dress, yet where her feet should be there was nothing...
"Demon Exterminator has come."
"Thank goodness. Honorable Demon Exterminator, please be sure to rid us of that evil spirit."
"She constantly wanders the good fields; we can't farm at all."
In a nearby village, a crowd escorted a Demon Exterminator, who seemed like a monk, coming towards them.
He was tall and burly, wearing large Buddha Beads around his neck, and in his hand, he held a huge black iron Zen stick, as thick as an egg, looking very imposing.
"Please rest assured, noble donors, guarding the way against demons is our duty."
The monk shouted like a Heavenly Dragon's chant, "Bold demon, how dare you plague the world? Watch as I capture you!"
His Qi-Blood was terrifyingly strong, rising like beacon smoke, clearly trained in martial arts. Swinging a hundred-pound Zen stick as if it were waterproof, he could fight ten or a hundred ordinary men of the Great Han, a definite warrior equal to ten thousand in the military.
The monk charged into the farmland.
Then he kneeled...
Demons are existences that defy all reason; they cannot be vanquished by physical blows.
Zhong Shenxiu figured this monk must be a kind of martial arts hero who had never seen a real demon before, given that ancient communications were tragically slow.
This must be his first encounter, attempting to act heroically and righteously, but it ended tragically.
As soon as the monk entered the farmland, he kneeled as if possessed, grabbing his own shiny head and twisting his face to the back.
The crowd of villagers screamed and dispersed in terror.
Only a little girl with a blue birthmark on her face stood still, dazed.
Zhong Shenxiu walked over, smiled, and patted her head, "What's your name? Aren't you afraid of demons?"
"I'm Mo Ye, and I am not afraid!"
The girl looked up, her large black eyes brimming with determination.
