Yuanshi Tianzun shook the Pangu Banner, instantly unleashing a torrent of Chaos sword qi toward Wubinu, a Heavenly Dao Sage on the side of the fiends.
Wubinu brandished his top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Heavenly Wolf Mace, and clashed with Yuanshi Tianzun. The Heavenly Wolf Mace and the Pangu Banner collided repeatedly, producing earth-shattering noises. The surrounding space grew distorted from their fierce battle.
Yuanshi Tianzun let out a great shout and exerted his full strength. The Pangu Banner shone with brilliant light, and the Chaos sword qi poured down like a torrential rain. Wubinu did not show weakness either, waving the Heavenly Wolf Mace to block with all his might.
The two sides reached a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand. At that moment, Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly conceived a plan. He secretly executed his divine powers, fusing his own magic power into the Pangu Banner.
The Pangu Banner instantly grew immensely huge, pressing down toward Wubinu with a momentum capable of destroying heaven and earth. Seeing this, Wubinu's expression changed drastically. He tried his utmost to resist, but in the end, he was still suppressed to the ground by the Pangu Banner.
Yuanshi Tianzun let out a roar, took out the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and smashed it toward Wubinu's head. Just as the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi was about to strike Wubinu, a mysterious force suddenly descended, blocking the attack. Yuanshi Tianzun fixed his eyes on the scene and saw a mysterious figure dressed in black appear on the battlefield.
The mysterious person exuded a powerful aura all over, causing Yuanshi Tianzun to feel a wave of pressure. Yuanshi Tianzun demanded loudly, "Who are you? Why do you rescue this fiend?"
The mysterious person sneered, "I am the guardian envoy of the fiend race, and I have come specially to rescue Wubinu today. You righteous folks are too bullying, and our fiend race will not sit idly by!"
With that, the mysterious person attacked and engaged in a fierce battle with Yuanshi Tianzun. For a time, the heavens and earth changed color, and the wind and clouds shifted. Yuanshi Tianzun and the mysterious person fought to a standstill, neither yielding to the other.
At this time, Wubinu seized the opportunity to break free from the suppression of the Pangu Banner. He joined forces with the mysterious person to fight against Yuanshi Tianzun. Yuanshi Tianzun gradually fell into a disadvantage, and the situation became critical.
Taoist Tongtian hurriedly unleashed the four swords of the Immortal Execution Sword Formation. The four swords transformed into four sharp sword lights, stabbing straight toward Wubinu and the mysterious person. Seeing this, the mysterious person quickly dodged, while Wubinu used the Heavenly Wolf Mace to fend them off desperately.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Taoist Tongtian urged the formation. For a time, countless beams of light intertwined, forming a huge light net that trapped Wubinu and the mysterious person within.
Yuanshi Tianzun seized the opportunity to exert his power, and the Pangu Banner once again displayed its mighty strength. Chaos sword qi surged like a tidal wave toward the trapped enemies.
Under this sort of onslaught, Wubinu and the mysterious person finally could not hold on and sustained heavy injuries. Seeing that defeat was sealed, the mysterious person said through gritted teeth, "Yuanshi Tianzun, just you wait! Our fiend race will not let this rest!" Having said that, he transformed into a ball of black smoke with Wubinu and vanished.
Yuanshi Tianzun and Taoist Tongtian breathed a sigh of relief; this battle had finally come to an end. However, they knew in their hearts that the fiend race certainly would not let the matter rest, and the days to come would likely hold even more challenges waiting for them.
Shengxia was still waiting on the battlefield, so Yuanshi Tianzun and Taoist Tongtian decided to return to Honghuang first to discuss countermeasures with the immortals. When they returned to Honghuang, they found that the immortals were waiting anxiously.
"Greetings, Yuanshi Tianzun! Greetings, Taoist Tongtian!" the immortals bowed in unison.
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly. "This raid by the fiend race was averted thanks to everyone working together with one heart. But the fiend race will surely not let this rest, and we must remain highly vigilant in the future."
"What the Tianzun says is entirely correct," an immortal said. "We ought to strengthen the defensive fortifications of Honghuang while also cultivating more young immortals to enhance our strength."
Another immortal proposed, "Why don't we send people to the Demon Realm to scout the movements of the fiend race so that we can make preparations in advance?"
Shengxia took out a small, rather unsightly nail hammer from the system space and fiercely hammered it toward the man in black.
Goodness gracious! The Chaos split apart abruptly, the heavens and myriad realms trembled violently, and primeval great stars in the Chaos void exploded into dust that drifted across the Chaos void.
A Great Dao Sage wielding a Primordial Spirit Treasure was not just a simple matter of one plus one.
The man in black who had just rescued Wubinu, along with Wubinu himself, were hammered to the point that not even a hair was left, turning into Chaos dust.
Looking at the Witch clan, the Twelve Ancestor Witches transformed into the true form of Pangu. While slaying fiends, they used the baleful qi from the corpses of the fiends to cultivate, and their cultivation realms shot up level by level.
They truly deserved to be called the Witch clan; this really was a great place for them to cultivate. Looking at the scene before him, Shengxia felt a sense of fulfillment. The small nail hammer in his hand shone with a faint light, as if recounting its extraordinary nature.
However, Shengxia did not become arrogant or complacent because of this. He knew deeply that the power of the fiend race remained formidable, and this war was far from over.
The Twelve Ancestor Witches noticed Shengxia's performance, and they developed a strong interest in this mysterious young man.
"Shengxia, what on earth is the origin of the weapon in your hand? It is actually so powerful," Zhujiuyin stepped forward and asked curiously.
Shengxia smiled and put the small nail hammer away. "This is a treasure I obtained by chance, and I am not clear on its specific origins. However, it seems to possess boundless potential."
"If we can find more treasures like this, our certainty in fighting the fiend race will increase by a few more points," Houtu chimed in.
Shengxia nodded. "I will continue to search for other treasures to enhance my own strength. However, the most important thing right now is to reorganize Honghuang and strengthen our defenses."
Yuanshi Tianzun and Taoist Tongtian also expressed their agreement. They decided to establish defense lines in Honghuang to prevent the fiend race from invading again.
Meanwhile, Shengxia also began to study the mysteries of the small nail hammer, hoping to unearth more of its power. A new adventure was about to unfold...
