From within the crack, four very long and huge red fingers suddenly came out and gripped the sides as if it were a wall. The fingers started moving to one side horizontally and the cracked started widening and before long, another set of four fingers came from within the crack. Both of the pairs of four finger exerted pressure on the opposing sides of the crack and the next moment, the space was ripped open.

What came from within the space scared everyone witless. An abomination slowly stepped out form within space. This abomination had completely blood red skin, three arms on each side of its body and it possessed three heads. Each head had a bloodthirsty smile on its face.

The moment this abomination appeared, the Imperial Adviser suddenly kneeled down on both knees and placed his head on the ground. The Jade Emperor raged inside as this was the very stance that everyone who is in his presence takes and now his best friend who he had exclusively excused him from this practice was doing it on this new being. This abomination looked beneath and saw Song Baishen kneeling reverently. The three heads of the abomination smiled and let out a chuckle.

"kukuku"

The moment everyone heard the abomination's voice, all the weaker Deities immediately vomited blood and fainted while the stronger ones felt fear grip their hearts. General Yang was also feeling dread and he looked at the dead body of the woman who betrayed and schemed against him. Then he looked at his own most trusted friend's father who was kneeling in front of the abomination.

'Although these people betrayed me, I had worked hard to maintain peace in the Realms and I won't stand a traitor destroying the peace I worked so hard to achieve' General Yang thought and he unsheathed his sword. Boundless battle intent exuded from his very being as he charged at the abomination that just came out from the space crack.

"HAAA"

With a heroic battle cry, General Yang burned his very Life Essence and boosted his own power for a limited amount of time. General Yang became a golden streak of light as it moved towards the abomination even faster than the speed Jade Emperor had used to advance towards the Imperial Adviser. The abomination noticed the golden streak of light that was coming towards him at break neck speed even to him. It let out a mighty roar and used all six of his hands to intercept General Yang

*BOOOOM*

The clash created such a shockwave that it threw every single Deity and Soldier back by more than a million li. Their clash shook not only the Heavenly Realm but even the Living Realm and the Hell Realm. The entire landscape and space scape throughout the Realms changed. Many civilizations within the Living Realm simply vanished from existence. In the Hell Realm, the prisons broke and it freed the most heinous and dangerous criminals to the entire world.

General Yang noticed that the abomination had blocked his strike. He started burning his Life Essence even more which gave him even greater power but the time he could maintain it for also decreased considerably. General Yang broke past the abomination's defense. The abomination instantly felt great danger, something that it had never felt before from the tiny creature in front of him. It raged as it felt offended by the tiny and weak creature giving it an unfamiliar and uncomfortable feeling.

General Yang didn't give heed to the abomination's anger and moved his sword, faster than he had every done and slashed horizontally, along with putting his all in it. Unknown to him, due to his desperation, he had literally placed his all in it. It means that not only will, but his very Life Essence, Spiritual Essence and the most important of all, his Dao.

*SHINNNG*

A golden colored horizontal slash was released from General Yang's sword. The slash was so terrifyingly powerful that the very space from which the abomination came from was split in two, not to mention the abomination whose three heads simply vanished as they were smaller than the width of the sword slash.

Imperial Adviser was absolutely terrified as he witnessed this scene. He knew very well about the abomination that he had summoned. This abomination was something that even the entire Heavenly Realm, the combined strength of all the Heavenly Deities, Heavenly soldiers, the Jade Emperor and the very Heavens couldn't hope to defeat was killed by General Yang, a mere General of the Heavenly Army.

The Imperial Adviser noticed the space from which the abomination came from was also cut and it was about to collapse. Using all the strength he could muster, he grabbed his son by his neck and jumped into the space crack. He reached the space crack and passed through it by a hairs breath of time before it completely collapsed.

The Imperial Adviser released a sigh of relief when he discovered he and his son made it. He dusted his clothes and stood up but his very heart froze as he saw the scene in front of him. The most terrifying army, that he had ever seen, an army where even their soldier trainee is enough to take on the Heavenly Army and come out on top, was simply lying the ground, each soldier's eyes lifeless.

......

In the Heavenly Realm, a single man with a golden armor was standing with his hands clasped around a sword stabbed into the ground with his eye closed. All the Heavenly Deities who were thrown away returned to the place where the man was with his eye closed. They saw the headless corpse of the abomination lying a few feet away.

As the Heavenly Deities neared the corpse of the abomination to take a clear look, they were assaulted by an unfathomably strong evil aura emanating from it but as they took few steps back, that aura simply vanished. Every Heavenly Deities was puzzled because such a strong aura should've spread across the Heavenly Realm but it didn't move even further than a few feet away from the corpse.

The Jade Emperor understood what was happening and looked at this scene with melancholy in his eyes. Today, he had been tasted a fruit of his own actions ten thousand years later, and the one he disposed of to hide the truth was the one who came out to be the one who protected the Realm.

"An unimaginable evil, slain by the most heroic and chivalrous man I had ever met. Even before his death, being betrayed, he still defended while everyone was powerless by scarifying his life and after his death, this man protects the Realms of the Evil that still lingers" The Jade Emperor sighed as he looked at the place where the abomination had come from.

This event would be recorded forever in the annals of history, the event which be sung by bards for the times to come in all the Realms, the title which the martyred hero gained from the masses, The Defender of the Realms, General Yang
