After the embarrassment Xing Ruo caused her husband, the situation was truly awkward.

So he broke the silence:

• "Then, I will show you something I only show to my distinguished guests. Let's go."

Everyone moved, descending a long staircase.

The ground floor of Gu Chu Di's palace... As soon as a complete glass-walled square appeared to the left and right, deep in the ocean, the ecological beauty was revealed.

But this thing brought back some past memories for Clark...

• "Xian Tian, listen. This is your debt and what you must repay."

Xian Tian looked with a smile.

Hai Lou was holding him. She said:

• "Then what do you want?"

Hai Lou laughed; she was extremely cute.

• "You must stay with me forever, and never leave me."

Xian Tian looked at her, and his eyes flashed with a wonderful light. He was truly happy.

• "Alright, if you want us to stay together forever. Hahahahaha! Hai Lou, you're really clever!"

The two were happy. There was no despair, only happiness.

In truth, what is despair?

Can any human answer?

Some despair from protecting their family.

Some also despair from life.

Some despair from struggling on death's threshold.

Some also despair from their responsibilities towards everything.

But Clark's answer:

• "There is no despair in truth. As a great demon of my era, I don't believe in the existence of a desperate situation."

• "Only humans despair. That is the truth."

• "As long as I am still alive, I can still struggle. I don't drag myself out of the pit of hell."

• "In truth, humans have two choices: either persevere to achieve a great feat, or... just die without bothering anyone."

• "This is the truth. Either accept it, or die without anyone caring!!!"

Gu Chu Di stopped, with his wife beside him. He waved his hand calmly.

Then he opened a huge door.

Clark and everyone else were shocked. He had placed his celestial island under the ocean.

The beautiful aquatic scenery appeared. The Dominance Immortal cultivated the Water Path, and secondarily the Ice Path.

His celestial island was like the northern sea, full of islands and aquatic oceans.

Mermaids and marine fish appeared. He took care of them.

Soon, he clapped his hands.

And the mermaids began to dance. Their sight was beautiful.

But what truly made Clark wonder was how the Dominance Immortal had been inspired by this design.

He remembered seeing this design with Hai Lou. It was strange to him.

He also wondered: Is this the past or the future? In which era am I? At the beginning or the end?

Many questions swirled in Clark's mind.

But the truth about Hai Lou... he didn't want to know it now.

• "In the pursuit of immortality!!! If I accept any obstacles, I will fall into the traps of emotions."

• "In my world, there is only the pursuit of immortality, nothing more. There is only this choice."

Therefore, he preferred to just watch, nothing more.

The Dominance Immortal laughed when an ancient celestial beast appeared: the Black-Horned Shark. It was twice the size of a humpback whale, and its eye was huge, larger than five elephants.

He said:

• "Master Zo Long, if you can catch it, I will give it to you."

Clark looked coldly and then said:

• "Alright, but will it be considered my victory even if I catch it dead?!"

Everyone looked in astonishment.

They thought Clark was just a liar. Even Beho Chenqing had some doubts about the story of the immortal formation, but in his heart, he didn't doubt Clark.

While Gu Chu Di and Xing Ruo didn't believe.

Xing Ruo said maliciously:

• "Of course it's yours. In truth, we want to be enlightened by witnessing the strength of Master Zo Long that managed to defeat an immortal formation."

Clark looked at that whore. He possessed an internal killing intent.

She was fighting Clark harshly. Even Beho Chenqing felt her malice.

Clark replied:

• "Then, I won't refuse the request of the Dominance Immortal and his wife."

Clark laughed internally:

• "You want to see my strength? Alright, then you'll see something good."

Everyone left the immortal palace. The entrance to the celestial island was open for Clark to enter.

Everyone returned to the palace to watch Clark.

The ancient shark was swimming in the depths, and they could see it.

Meanwhile, Clark appeared in a miraculous way.

He surged forward with astonishing power. He didn't use Sword Path methods because they were from the inheritance of Hei Shenqing, which the Central Lands coveted, and that malicious woman would bring enemies to Clark.

As for using Light Path methods, Clark wasn't good at it and couldn't use them because activating an Extreme Move required numerous attempts and caused a negative backlash for Clark.

He contented himself with his Thief Path style: "Extreme Combo: New Heaven-Stealing Fists."

The Heaven-Stealing Fists radiated with Dao Marks of Darkness, Theft, and Judgment.

That was what Clark had deduced.

And with "Judgment of Self," his offensive power reached the peak of the seventh rank.

His defense was also strong.

Bam! Bam! Bam!!!

Giant punches collided with the shark's body. Marks of the blows appeared.

But in a malicious and shocking manner, the ancient shark possessed mortal-level Extreme Moves, and one of them was immortal-level.

Six horns appeared around the shark and surged toward Clark. He easily evaded them.

But soon the shark surged forward frantically to restrain Clark further.

It spat ice arrows toward Clark.

But with his immortal-level defense, Clark was perfectly capable of dealing with it.

However, what was most suspicious to Clark was the Extreme Move that this shark still hadn't used.

The shark was agile and strange. It attacked sometimes with its body, sometimes with its mouth.

Every time it attacked with its mouth, it placed several clones of itself inside the shark's mouth and attacked him internally.

The battle was one-sided, with Clark's side attacking with insane intensity.

And it showed the meaning of being human. Humans are the origin of will, and half-humans and beasts don't possess will and intellect like humans, so it is easy to enslave beasts and subdue them.

Blood appeared from the shark's mouth, its eye, and marks of punches appeared on its body.

Meanwhile, Clark was completely agile. In reality, if he didn't possess his fake immortal consciousness, he wouldn't have been able to battle such an ancient beast.

This was the truth in the world of the powerful: mortals are plainly beneath immortals.

But suddenly, an immortal aura emerged from the beast's body: the immortal-level Extreme Move from the Ice Path, "Frozen Gaze"!!!

Clark felt danger. He soon began to move erratically.

But that Extreme Move was extremely powerful and terrifying. Merely looking at the opponent was enough to manifest its effect.

The water around Clark's feet began to freeze.

He felt extreme danger. The shark wanted to freeze Clark completely.

But...

• "World, stop time, damn it!"

Bam!

The World appeared in its majestic form around Clark, shattering the ice that was covering him.

Clark surged forward and attacked powerfully using the Cicada, stealing the immortal-level Extreme Move from the shark.

Now it was time to end this farce.

A black aura condensed, and several mortal and immortal auras appeared:

• "Dark Sword of Hei Shenqing!"

Swish!!!

It cut the shark in half.

The darkness was visible, dissolving the shark's body as if it were a solvent.

This was the terror of the Darkness Path.

Ten seconds passed, and it was over.

Time resumed.

Everyone was shocked.

Even Xing Ruo hadn't expected to see Clark so strong. But how did he stop time? There was only one explanation: he possessed his "World" star that stops time. And he also possessed the power of the Sword Path which granted him such strength.

The strength of the Sword Path was well-known. Throughout history, powerful cultivators from the Sword Path had emerged. The Sword Path possessed terrifying, overwhelming power among all other paths!!!

But this person can use these methods with overwhelming power even though he doesn't possess massive Dao Marks??? And it's not even his main path.

It was suspicious to everyone.

Clark returned to them in the palace:

• "Congratulations on your victory, Master Zo Long."

Clark laughed and then said:

• "My apologies to Master Gu Chu Di and his wife. By mistake, I destroyed the immortal-level Extreme Move from the Ice Path."

Gu Chu Di raised his hands to say "it's alright."

But Xing Ruo shouted in anger:

• "I don't care about this ancient beast; we have many like it. But to destroy a rare immortal-level Extreme Move like this, how will you compensate us?!"

Beho Chenqing shouted:

• "You are the ones who wanted to see his strength and challenged him! Do you think we will fall into such a trap?!"

• "Master Gu Chu Di, I don't think you will go back on your word. After all, you are an honorable man, and you were the one who said that if Clark catches or kills the celestial shark, it is his. Isn't that right?"

Xing Ruo wanted to reply, but her husband's patience had limits:

• "Be quiet, Xing Ruo! Don't embarrass me further."

• "Master Zo Long, my wife spoke badly. You can request any compensation from her."

Clark smiled a malicious smile.

Xing Ruo wanted to scream at Clark. But Gu Chu Di raised his hand and released a terrifying aura that silenced her completely. Perhaps he wasn't completely submissive to her wishes.

Clark said:

• "Master Gu Chu Di, I want immortal essence stones. As you know, I am going to Mount Lao Bu, and I might get into fierce battles. Therefore, I need immortal essence stones to utilize my combat power properly."

He nodded in agreement and handed Clark 15,000 immortal essence stones.

Clark, in reality, hadn't expected something this good.

And if he also sold the ancient shark's body, which is considered a seventh-rank refinement material, he could achieve 20,000 immortal essence stones.

It was wonderful and good for Clark.

The four left the immortal palace.

Xiu Lan followed the matter in silence. She felt how distant Clark was from her. She wanted to help him, but she was truly far from winning the heart of a man like this.

It was over. The four were flying, and Xing Ruo was looking at them with pure hatred and anger towards this Zo Long.

Hatred was blazing, but her husband didn't give her a chance to speak.

She had fallen into Clark's trap. Because he played the role of the calm and dignified man, showing respect to the host, while Xing Ruo despised the guest, which would only harm Gu Chu Di as a Dominance Immortal.

Reputation among the righteous was very important.

While among the demonic cultivators, benefits were the most important thing, more important than reputation and everything else!!!

Women were inferior to men in politics, while in emotions they were better.
