Today, Sun Da Ren has come a long way since his battle at Copper Gorge. Although the ancient gods still maintain their status after enduring endless ages, their actual strength is no longer shocking.
When facing ordinary cultivators, their greatest reliance is the "protection" conferred by their status: mortals will suffer calamity if they slay a god.
However, Sun Da Ren happens to be unafraid of this curse. He draws on the power of the River God and the drop of divine blood in him allows him to withstand divine power. Although he can't hold it for long, capturing the Divine Wood and killing "Eddy" before him is not a problem at all.
Moreover, he also has two treasures that restrain General Eddy - Lao Er's Fire Pill, and the revered Shell Awl, a Supreme Treasure of the Human Race Great Saint.
General Eddy's real strength is about the Sixth Great Realm. With his biggest reliance gone, he can only fight Sun Da Ren like a normal cultivator, naturally resulting in utter defeat.
