Along the eastern fringes of the West Continent. In fact, it was right in front of the dimensional barrier which separated the West Continent and the Central Continent. There stood a tall wall several thousand kilometres high which sat between two mountains.

It's architecture resembled similar structures from the Primitive World, being a descendent from the Chaos Godfiend civilization. In addition, several devil experts manned the structure. Most of them were Great Unity Golden Immortals and only some were Great Principle experts.

From the perspective of an active world war, this was extremely poor defense. As such it came as no surprise when the earth starting trembling and a thunderous impact noise slammed into the wall.

"Hm? Who dares?"

"Did those villainous invaders come already?"

Two devils at the rushed out of their dorms and into the sky. They were immediately alarmed at the sight. Their bodies were human like and they each wore robes denoting their allegiances to their own sects.

"What in heavens name is that?" One of the two devils gasped. His ginger pointed right at a hideously flabby creature attacking the mountain pass.

The creature had no clear facial features. The only thing that could be identified as such were the fat rolls across what looked to be a head or upper torso which resembled a human posterior, the fact that this beast had no neck did not help things.

The creature wore only some armor, mostly gauntlets and pants. Along its back were feathery wings that looked like they couldn't possibly carry the creature's weight. What's more intriguing was that there was no distinct qi signature which identified its cultivation.

"Oh? This is all the devils could muster for me?" The flabby creature sounded almost disdainful.

It raised its thick arm and swiped along the top of the wall, grinding its stone structure into flying rubble.

"Stop this at once!" One of the two devils raised his hand to farm a gigantic hammer made of blue fire. He was about to attack the beast when out of nowhere he stopped.

He wasn't the only one, his companion had also halted in place. It was as if time itself had halted despite these devil's best efforts to resist.

Ordinarily, time stop abilities were extremely hard pressed to affect immortals of their caliber. But for the caster, a gigantic dragon with the head of a balding human who slithered from behind one of the mountains. Both his eyes were closed and there seemed to be something magical going on between them.

"Their security is too low big brother. Clearly this fort isn't meant for much," said the human faced dragon. He surged forth chomping down hard on one of the devils. His human shaped teeth easily bypassed the devil's defenses and swallowed him whole.

"RAGH! If you think I'll go down that easily!" The devil screamed on his way down the creature's throat. But the creature's body was simply too sturdy, the devil couldn't do any damage as he was attacked by stomach acid.

"Hmph, just be obediently digested like the abhorrent criminals you are. Big brother, the Dragon Sovereign, Phoenix Sovereign, the the rest of the Anti-Devil alliance is arriving in two minutes."

The flabby creature grunted in acknowledgement. It had already grabbed one of the two devils and squished him to death seemingly with little effort. However, a closer look would showcased his palm as having been singed.

Just as the human headed dragon had said. A dragon shaped supercluster burst from the clouds. Accompanying him were a massive blob of flames and golden light. But before any of these shapes could act, a small figure summersaulted towards the two towering creatures.

In an instant, a massive cudgel grew out of the figure and smashed into the already damaged wall. The weapon easily pulverized what little remained of the structure before a second strike disintegrated all remaining piece.

"Hmph! Authentic descendants of Pangu and you can't even break a wall," the provocative voice of the Six Eared Macaque drew the two creature's ire. Luckily, their overlords took action before anything escalated

All three condensed to form the human shapes of the three beast sovereigns.

"Di Jiang, Zhu Jiuyin, you were warned to not charge in ahead," Zufeng was the first to speak up.

"Respectfully Phoenix Sovereign, it turned out these men couldn't amount to much," Di Jiang replied.

Zulong meanwhile glanced at the monkey. "You were to move under Jiang Koilong's command. Why have you disobeyed."

"Hmph!" Liu Er avoided Zulong's gaze like a naughty child being caught doing something wrong. "I cleaned up these two's mess."

Soon afterwards, more people began arriving. Yi Fei'e, Chongming, the ten other blood descendants of Pangu, Leize, and Di Jun. Finally, Da Hai himself manifested.

…

Streams of light penetrated the territory ruled by devils. Streams of light which composed of millions of immortals each. All manners of living beings came with the intent to annihilate devils. Wether they were motivated by glory, vengeance, or responsibility ultimately did not matter.

Da Hai watched as those in charge of vast empires like Zulong, Zufeng, and various East Continent powerhouses wave their hands. Dozens upon dozens of armies pushed forth each heading towards major devil sects to destroy them.

Immediately though, everyone felt a sudden heaviness in the air. An uncomfortable feeling that chilled them to the bone. They'd all suddenly found it harder to fly, harder to manipulate the qi around them, harder to warp reality.

Although those extremely powerful such as Da Hai did not feel the effects as strongly, they were able to notice the detrimental effects on weaker individuals.

"This suppression affect is even stronger? Were the reports wrong?" Zulong wondered aloud. Many top experts were having the same thought.

It took a lot of self control for some individuals to not start flinging accusations of treachery

"No," Da Hai replied. "The effects were manually enhanced."

The ancient sea god swept across the lands with his divine sense. Much of it had vastly changed from whence he was here last. There was not a trace of familiarity which he could exploit.

However, Da Hai's eyes trailed towards the centre of the continent hoping to see visible evidence of Luohu. However, he found not a single trace of Luohu.

Instead, the faceless godfiend Hundun stood upon Sumeru's cliff.

"You can't beat this formation just standing around you know?" Hundun taunted in an amused way. His voice traveled across the sky and could only be heard by Da Hai. This caused the latter to narrow his eyes in suspicion.

'He is awfully calm about everything,' Da Hai thought with doubt.

"Some light suppression on immortal power cannot stop our retribution upon you devils," Da Hai snapped back. He gazed expectantly at various generals leading their armies. He was not disappointed one bit.

Because as the devil formation's suppression field were affecting weaker immortals, top powerhouses were already counteracting it. Chaos Immortals across the alliance expended their own energy to block out foreign intrusions upon their soldier's bodies.

"Let's see you solve this puzzle then junior. Otherwise you'll never get to touch Luohu. Hehehe." Hundun sat dangling his legs without a care in the world. Mentally, he communed with an untold number of devils to fight for West Continent's glory.

"Dragon Sovereign, I trust you'll follow battle plan?" Zufeng asked from across the sky.

"Just worry about the vanguard heading this way. My brother will deal with their pill concocters," Zulong grunted back.

As Yinglong split off with dozens of armies, several other sub groups did the same. The winged dragon had recovered fully thanks to the aid of his master. Now he aims to destroy any possible sects that were suppling enhancement pills to the Devilish Dao. This meant various famous sects who specialized in alchemy.

At the same time, he was accompanied by forces which held many innate gods. Some of them were grumbling about being sent on side errands but Yinglong did need the support of powerhouses.

Most dragon Chaos Immortals were accompanying Zulong after all.

Zufeng's collage of experts were far less then the dragons. But to her side, the two brothers who'd distinguished themselves Di Jun and Taiyi commanded large forces under her. Since the two were avian in nature, they got along great with the Phoenix clan.

Da Hai glanced to his other side and felt his heart tighten. Yi Fei'e rode the Cinnebar Phoenix alongside her sisters beside Zulong's personal army. Despite the latter phoenix's allegiance to her, it seems like none of Zufeng's subordinates were willing to find trouble with her.

"We'll be fine master." He heard her voice in his head. Focusing his eyes, he met his eldest female disciple's stern gaze.

"I have fully recovered as well. I am more then capable of handling myself as I'm sure you already know," she continued.

Da Hai nodded. He swore to look out for his disciples but he also knew they were all accomplished powerhouses by now as well. Well except for maybe the six younger moth fairies.

Whatever the case, as everyone began moving once again, Da Hai flew to join Zulong at the very front.

…

It took half a day before the vast army of the world met a force of billions upon billions of devils. Not many of them were familiar faces but many of their leading figures possessed energy signatures that heavily resembled Devil Great Emperors who had perished on Buzhou.

Such an incident was immediately called out by those who's killed such opponents previously. However, they also noticed that the people who possessed these energy signatures were different people.

"What is this? There are at least five people with the same Daos I've already killed," said a dragon who gapped at a young man on the devil's side.

"Oh? So you're the scoundrel who killed my master," replied the devil who brandished a long sword at the dragon. "Then as the new patriarch of Mt Hen Sword Sect, I will slay you where you stand!"

"Do not be alarmed," Da Hai warned all the immortals on his side. His voice riveted through the army as if it had been placed on loud speaker.

"The Devilish Dao is a method of cultivation which all users exist as extension of the master of said Dao. Every Dao you encounter, no matter who it was that created it, is fundamentally only an derivative of the master. In this case, these poor fools were tricked to be merely Luohu's puppets."

His words enraged the crowd of devils yet drew laughter from the alliance's army.

"So that is the case?"

"Oh it all makes so much sense now!"

"So all their cultivated achievements are now someone else's work?"

"Oh such a pity."

"No wonder they're all weaker than the averages of their realm."

"SILENCE!" The devils roared.

"You invaders do not know of what you speak!"

"KILL!"

"KILL!"

"KILL!"

Devil after devil, these living beings who saw themselves as righteous defenders of the West Continent charged forwards to attack. Unlike the immortals who felt suppressed, the devils were emboldened by their home territory.

"Defenders of the Primitive World, kill these pests!"

"KILL!"

"KILL!"

"KILL!"

Da Hai released a smirk as dragons, phoenixes, and immortals flew past him. Zulong headed the charge from the East Sea, Zufeng the south, Yi Fei'e and numerous powerhouses attacked with the intent to kill. Opposite them, Chaos Immortal level devils charged with vigor.

Di Jun and Taiyi jumped high and immediately began unleashing waves of Pure Yang Fire. The heat of the sun combined with numerous other attacks from numerous experts quaked the land and tore apart the sky.

Zulong smashed down towards a group of Primal Zenith Chaos Immortals and not far from him, his contemporaries did the same.

Da Hai raised his hand intending to attack. He was far in a way stronger than anyone else on the battlefield. There really was no one who could oppose him if he desired to go into a frenzied slaughter. Since no Limitless Supreme Chaos Immortals were here to stop him, he can functionally run rampant without anyone to stop him.

A single motion was all it would take to decapitate millions of devils.

"No no no, fellow daoist please don't do that. Let the little guys have their fun. Limitless Supreme experts like us should fight among equals."

Da Hai's brows raised instantly as Hundun suddenly teleported within his personal space. His arm was still in mid swiping motion when Hundun caught it. With his other hand, the robed faceless godfiend grabbed hold of Da Hai's lower face.

"I thought you were on Sumeru?"

THOOM!

Within a millisecond, Zulong swerved his head back. "MASTER!" He cried out. He reached out and his arm transformed into an elongated dragon claw reaching for Hundun who was a still pushing Da Hai away.

Yi Fei'e also glanced back sword ready. Cinnabar grinder to a halt in the sky and gradually turned his titanic body as his mistress yanked his feathered back.

"Worry about your own battle!" Da Hai roared in their minds. He yanked his arm out of Hundun's grip and struck the faceless godfiend with his free hand. The two separated mid air tens of thousands of kilometres away from the starting battle.

"You know, ever since I heard you killed my brother effortlessly, I've wanted to see how sharp your sword actually is," Hundun said. Six arms emerged from his cloaked form each holding a hatchet. His pose was not dissimilar to the one he held when facing Huoyun so long ago.

That memory came and went in Da Hai's mind as the sea god manifested the Heavenly Cloud Gathering Sword in his palm. So what if Luohu will not come face him? He'll kill his trusted lieutenant and force the bastard out.

Hundun's cultivation level was unprecedented for Da Hai. He'd figured out he had reached new heights just based on reports regarding the battle at Buzhou but experiencing it was another thing entirely. During the first battle at Buzhou, it was like Hundun barely tried.

Beyond that Da Hai didn't know much about Hundun beyond whatever scraps of mythology he could remember. Hundun was currently Luohu's most powerful active subordinate since Mara hadn't been seen since Buzhou. Though he wasn't technically a devil he trained a good majority of them and was integral to their lineage. All that mattered now was that he was an enemy who needed to die.

"Come try it if you dare."

Far below, Liu Er joined the front lines holding a crude cudgel. His focus had left Da Hai and squarely sat on the devils coming at him.

The general leading him, Jiang Koilong was eager to commence the slaughter and despite his disdain for the dragons, Liu Er couldn't agree more. More importantly, he had lost a lot of power thanks to that villainous Da Hai.

As such, he wanted to integrate more flesh and gain back the cultivation he'd lost. Let none ever say Liu Er was a quitter.

"DIE!" The monkey roared, bashing in the head of an unsuspecting devil. "I live for this! Devils of the West, season yourselves for your granddaddy!"

…

For over three weeks, a battle raged between devils who viciously defended their home and immortals who sought to destroy them. In a continuous clash of bloodshed, both sides were somewhat equal in their endeavor.

However, it quickly became clear that the devils were losing ground. With many powerful figures from the rest of the world in the same place, even without Yinglong and several other powerful Chaos Immortals present, the devils simply could not mount a continuous battle.

Zulong, Zufeng, and Qi An represented a fighting force who equated a Limitless Supreme Chaos Immortal. No one could really oppose them aside from slowing them down. In the end, it wasn't enough as they eventually broke free and ran rampant slaughtering countless devil.

Mostly importantly of all, Da Hai was locked in combat against Hundun. Experts at their level found it incredibly difficult to gain a foothold over the other without some sort of deciding factor. For Luohu this was his hidden clone in conjunction to his Immortal Extermination Four Swords. But Da Hai and Hundun were both either unwilling or unable to show off any tide turning trump cards.

Da Hai's sword swings met Hundun's hatchet with reality bending clashes. Their battlefield had transformed into a hazy sea of water and sludge that simultaneously stretched on infinitely yet was locked into a confined space.

Occasionally, outsiders could see massive snake heads rising up and loud roaring could be heard. Other times, it was dead silent invoking a foreboding sense of dread that made people question if Da Hai had died.

Yet Zulong never lost faith in his master.

Gradually, the immortals beat back the devils and slaughtered them by the millions. Weakened and battered, the disorganized force could only retreat to their sect strongholds and recover whilst waiting for support.

However, despite winning the initial clash, Zulong noticed how neither Da Hai nor Hundun had ended their brawl. The warping space around their clash made it incredibly difficult to perceive what was happening within, but also to approach.

"Senior brother!" Yi Fei'e called out. "Cinnabar and I will pursue these cowards fleeing northwards. The Phoenix Sovereign already expressed her intentions to uproot a nearby forest inhabited by flame devils. What of you?"

Zulong looked over, Yi Fe'e did not seem winded at all and neither did her sisters nor mount. The old dragon narrowed his gaze at the distant battle.

"Your majesty, we're awaiting your orders," Leize said after flying close.

"Follow your previous orders. Destroy any devil strong holds you find, ignore Sumeru for now," Zulong said. "It is imperative we take the attention away from our comrades searching for this formation's anchor points."

Zulong stared into the swirling mess of water and sludge for a little while longer before sighing. "Master will keep the only Limitless Supreme Chaos Immortal active right now distracted. Do your parts as well."

The reason he said so was because Da Hai had reached out to him as well. "Zulong," Da Hai had said. "Seems I cannot disengage from Hundun for now. Continue without me and ravage these devil infested lands."

The sheer venom in his voice was palpable.

"Yes your majesty/senior brother," the Leize and Yi Fei'e said.

Following that, the group dispersed. From one gigantic gathering into several massive armies. From those, more groups splintered off to assault more devil sects.

While small cells moved in the shadows, the higher ups began carving a bloody path from the West Continent.

In the coming months, the alliance continued to move across the West Continent fighting off any resistance force they could get their hands on. Over time, the grand army splintered into smaller albeit still quit large forces. After all, it was best for them all to cover more ground.

During this era of fighting, Zulong personally saw to the burning of over three dozen established devil sects. It was almost as if he was inn competition with Qi An and Zufeng to see who could cause the most havoc.

Overtime, hundreds of battles began occurring simultaneously across the West Continent. Nothing was ever concentrated in one place anymore. With groups dashing everywhere seemingly attacking at random, and devils reacting with their own forces, sometimes even ambushing them. Things began devolving into chaos.

All the while, the bloodlust flowing through the Primitive World only seemed to rise.

…

Several months later.

In a burning battlefield, a Devil Great Emperor was entangled in combat against several powerhouses. This devil had a body wreathed in flame and resembled a cloud with an imprinted face.

"I am the Archflame Devil, you juniors think your heretical flames can harm me?" The devil roared. His breath set the sky ablaze and pushed his opponents back. Around him, thousands of weaker devils who cultivated his lineage's fire surged to torch thousands of weakened immortals.

"It's no use, this fire is too hot!" A crane immortal yelped as he was stabbed through the neck.

The gargantuan fire devil spun his body even more. He was like a spinning top which resembled a burning star. This of course drew the ire of Di Jun. He and Taiyi were the ones who initially tangled with this Primal Zenith Chaos Immortal and even they found him to be a tough opponent.

"Avians, do not let up! Douse this fool immediately," he ordered.

Zufeng had saw fit to grant him a commanding position unlike his fellow innate gods. He used his own control over fire to redirect Archflame Devil's attacks away from his soldiers. But even at his best, the Devil Great Emperor was in a league of his own.

"Burn little birdy, haha BURN!" The devil's jaw expanded until he was the size of several mountain ranges. With a maw large enough to swallow large islands, he attempted to pull hundreds of thousands of avians in at once.

Di Jun's brother reacted instantly. Taiyi released the Chaos Bell and tapped hit several times. The ringing of this archaic bell echoed through the sky establishing wonderful effects.

"Hm?" Archflame Devil was started as against his own command, his body stopped moving and his mind slowed. "Wwwwwwwhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaatttttttttt iiiiiiiiiisssssssss tttttttttthhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiissssssss!"

"Quick! Taiyi has brought us some time, fall back!" Di Jun ordered. As Profound Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, Golden Immortals, and Great Unity Golden Immortals all pulled back from their battles, Di Jun released hundreds of blazing palm strikes.

Since he can't damage the Devil Great Emperor, he'll do as much damage to his sect's forces as he can. Archflame Devil could only watch in fury as some of his favorites were burned alive.

"NO! Why does it burn? Why is it so hot?" Numerous devils cried out as they died.

"Brother, how long must we hold out? This Mt Yan sect is too strong for the soldiers we were given," Taiyi warned his brother.

"Not for long. It's unfortunate we can't win by our own power. But our allies from the seas are close by," Di Jun said.

Taiyi narrowed his eyes. "I thought Spring Song Dragon King's army was attacking the Earthworm sect seven billion kilometres away from here?"

"No not them. One of the larger contingents."

They soon pulled back as Archflame broke out of his imprisonment with a vengeance. The two parties began a game of cat and mouse across the nearby mountain ranges. Each time they clashed, they were like suns smashing against each other.

The cries of crows were heard by native creatures mere moments before their homes were torched into ashes. Mountains disintegrated, rivers dried, even their own soldiers we're fully safe from the extreme heat.

"Come back here little crows!" The devil cried. "I swear I'll…GAH!"

Archflame Devil screamed in pain. Blood gushed out from within his fiery form as a sword embedded itself inside him. "Who threw that?"

Di Jun and Taiyi transformed from their three legged crow forms back to human forms when a golden orb appeared in the sky. It spun, drawing all of Archflame Devil's fire into it like a spiraling tornado.

"By heavens its hot here," Yi Fei'e was visibly sweating when she arrived atop Cinnebar Phoenix. The latter was far more attuned to high temperatures, yet even he felt the heat.

"Mistress, my Sovereign's new favorites are over there," Cinnebar pointed towards Di Jun and Taiyi. "They should be the ones who dispatched that messenger."

The moth nodded. She leaped off of Cinnabar and weaved a hand seal. Around her, strings of silk flew out like ropes towards Archflame Devil.

"Don't think you can bind me so easily woman!" The devil roared. He set the strings ablaze with a simple thought.

'That's fine, if restraining is going to be hard. Killing it is then.' Yi Fei'e smirked a little. She and Cinnebar rose into the sky displaying the might of two Primal Zenith Chaos Immortals. Neither were weak examples of such a realm and both manifested a new cosmos.

Seeing though her intentions, Archflame growled in indignation. He turned around attempting to flee. But Taiyi, being the pesky bird he was unleashed the Chaos Bell one more time. He panted as more effort was placed into the ringing treasure.

Temporal magic froze Archflame in place as a polygonal shaped universe enclosed his position. His body shifted from real space into a new reality beyond his control.

As the army consisting of billions of seafolks and dragons arrived, they witnessed a new cosmos contracting. Several Primal Origin level dragons and seafolks jumped in to help. Even Di Jun and Taiyi lent aid sending pelts of fireballs at Archflame.

For his part, the devil felt gloomy. He was resisting the contracting universe yet could not find a clear way to break out.

For several hours, he struggled to push against Yi Fei'e and Cinnebar's contracting universe. For equally as long, his flames began snuffing out. This lasted through twilight and into a new dawn. By the beginning of the next day, he finally perished.

The new universe had shrunken to the size of a single proton within the hand of Yi Fei'e. By griping it, she destroyed whatever was left of the devil.

"Thank you all for your aid," she said.

""""""No need to thank us your highness. It was only our duty!""""""

Di Jun, Taiyi, and the contingent of avians behind them could finally rest.

Yi Fei'e allowed them the time to breath and join under her protection for the time being. Despite this, many avians felt dissatisfied at having seafolk and dragons 'interfering' with their activity.

Yet Di Jun was actually quite happy to find this chance. Previously, he had attempted to seek out the commanding dragons but could not do so due to the invasion. Finding a personal disciple of Yingzhou's lineage was a godsend for his feelings.

So he chose a moment to sneak away from Taiyi and approached Yi Fei'e.

The was watching a three dimensional image of the landscape when Di Jun approached. She waved her hand letting the dragon, and seafolk experts accompanying her to stand down.

"Senior Profound Sky Heavenly Lord," Di Jun greeted. His reference to her was a title the experts around the world started calling her by during the past million years. She also had a princess title due to Zulong but most people outside the seas did not refer to her as such.

"General Di Jun. You are the innate god born of the Solar Star correct? I thought you would be resting with your people? Why seek me out?"

Di Jun coughed into his hands. "I would like to ask…uh that is to say…hm how do I say this…I uh, noticed fellow daoist Xihe did not appear with the rest of the esteemed experts from the four seas. I know she's an exceptionally powerful immortal and I wonder she could be?"

The dragons and seafolk experts looked at each other quizzically. They were only tangibly familiar with the name Xihe. Yi Fei'e however gasped as if she suddenly realized something. Before long, a knowing smirk broke out across her face.

"Right, young man here's the thing," she said with clasped hands. "She's still in the East Sea."

"Huh?"

…

THOOM!

Water and black sludge rippled after smashing against each other. Da Hai and Hundun pushed each other back.

"Huh scary, you're indeed worthy of being a fellow daoist of us true godfiends," Hundun praised. He examined his cracked hatchet, twirling it around as if it were a to.

Da Hai lowered his sword as well. The grayish gas cloud around him was still there ready to strike at any time. The seven snakes transformed from his hair hissed at Hundun but otherwise made no effort to attack.

'Limitless Supreme Chaos Immortal. There's no doubt about it. He's not just a Primal Zenith with enough combat strength to equal a Limitless Supreme. His understanding of the Dao is already on the path of Wuji.'

"Your brothers were dumber than you. They kept themselves trapped forever, unable to comprehend the Dao further."

"Indeed they were." Hundun was uncaring of Da Hai's insult to his group. He shrugged so carelessly that it made Da Hai question the Four Evil's relationships with each other.

"I did advise them you know. Seeking a new Dao, creating a new path where previous mistakes can be mitigated was the only way forward. The gift Pangu left us. Too bad, seems only Yang Mei, Luohu, and Hongjun realized this fact."

Da Hai felt his blood boil at the mention of the latter two names, he made a conscious effort to keep a poker face. Everything started, and always led back to them. The serpents behind him thrashed angrily shooting out jets of scalding water. Hundun merely chuckled at Da Hai's aggressive response.

"You need to control your temper my friend. If you fall apart so easily at mere words…"

"You have no right to judge me fiend," Da Hai spat. "We gonna continue or what?"

"Hm, no I don't think so," Hundun shook his faceless head. He made a few clicking noises before nodding to himself. "Bout that time now."

"What did you do?" Da Hai immediately asked.

"Me? Nothing!" Hundun made a surrendering pose. "But I really must be going. Can't keep playing with you forever you know?"

"Get back here Hundun!" Da Hai grabbed for the godfiend who was already beginning to retreat.

"Worry about yourself first," Hundun yelled back. He did not hesitate to smash two of his hatchets together. Their axe heads cut into each other and the joined treasures began glowing a bright orange light. Hundun threw the unstable treasure towards Da Hai. It was a heartachingly tough call to sacrifice these treasures, but to disengage from Da Hai it was necessary.

The highly unstable qi induced by Hundun transformed the treasures into a bomb. Da Hai gasped at Hundun's wasteful actions but stopped to wrap himself in Pellucid Divine Water.

As the fiery explosion went off. Da Hai heard Hundun's fleeing voice.

"Since I'm pretty sure you know Mara's origins, I'll give you a hint. How many arms do I have?"
