Xuankong’er made his move. Within just a few short minutes, he had forged several demonic treasures.
A torrent of malevolent energy surged wildly, directly rushing toward the Supreme Elder Lord.
Caught off guard, the Supreme Elder Lord was startled and hastily retreated.
“Haha, you wicked old Taoist, you’ve hidden yourself well! But today, you’ve finally revealed yourself,” Xuankong’er rescued Ci’en Daoist and, with a slight shift of his will, effortlessly dispelled the magical restraints the Supreme Elder Lord had placed upon Ci’en. Then, with a flicker of his thoughts, he unleashed a massive surge of malevolent energy, transforming it into a massive black demonic whip hundreds of meters long, sweeping across the heavenly soldiers and generals.
The heavenly soldiers and generals, upon seeing the malevolent energy, were immediately frightened and scrambled to dodge. Those who couldn’t escape in time were tainted by the demonic energy. Their minds instantly twisted, turning them into demonic soldiers and generals who turned their weapons against their former comrades, unleashing slaughter indiscriminately!
Yin and Yang counteract each other, and so do immortals and demons.
Who is stronger depends on whose magical power is greater and whose treasures are superior.
Xuankong’er was a prodigy in forging demonic treasures in the Demon Realm. After obtaining Shuimiao’s memories, his forging skills became even more refined, and the demonic treasures he forged were even more powerful. Under a relentless barrage of attacks, the heavenly soldiers and generals’ formation quickly fell into chaos. The Bagua Formation ceased to function, and the Lingxiao Hall was left in complete disarray.
Outside the Lingxiao Hall, destruction reigned, while the interior remained intact.
Tianyi Dejun, Wenchang Dijun, and Shuitianyi Shengmu were guarding Shuimiao inside, fending off the thousands of heavenly warriors who had come to attack.
Shuimiao had already completed the Time Tower and was now forging other treasures within it.
Chongyuanzi had been severely wounded by the Supreme Elder Lord, his spiritual energy greatly depleted. He was now sitting cross-legged on the ground, taking medicinal pills to heal his wounds and restore his power.
“Xuankong’er, you’re nothing but a petty man reveling in temporary success, ignorant of the vastness of heaven and earth! I allowed you to live for many years before, but today will be your end, you evil demon!” The Supreme Elder Lord loomed high above, looking down on Xuankong’er. He activated a crimson gourd, which emitted a powerful suction force, drawing in much of the malevolent energy.
“Haha, you wicked old Taoist, I know you’re skilled in forging treasures, but unfortunately, your craftsmanship is nothing but a pile of stinking dog excrement in my eyes.”
Xuankong’er had never held any respect for the ancient immortals—neither in the past nor now.
Back then, to confront the ancient immortals, Xuankong’er had obtained a vast amount of information on them from Wu Yazi, the Emperor of the Demon Realm. He had studied them diligently, gaining profound insights. Thus, every treasure Xuankong’er forged was specifically designed to counter the ancient immortals.
At this moment, Xuankong’er activated several more demonic treasures: the Xuanyu Drum, the Soul-Confusing Mirror, the Demon Realm Domain, the Ten-Thousand Poisonous Worm, the Horn of Death, and the Zhuxian Demon Sword Formation… These treasures were all forged by Xuankong’er using materials from his spatial artifact. Combined with the Ten-Thousand Evil Worm, they formed seven supreme demonic treasures. Once activated, their power was immeasurable, causing heaven and earth to darken. The once clear and serene First Heaven suddenly transformed into a chaotic realm of immortals and demons.
The Ten-Thousand Evil Worm could release malevolent energy, instantly corrupting people and turning them into mindless killing beasts.
The Xuanyu Drum could shatter puppets, directly damaging the spirits within immortal artifacts.
The Soul-Confusing Mirror could confuse people’s minds, leaving them lost and bewildered.
The Demon Realm Domain was a treasure that connected to the Demon Realm and opened its gates. Once activated, demonic beings would pour through, unleashing slaughter.
The Ten-Thousand Poisonous Worm emitted a toxic aura that accelerated the Five Decays of Heaven and Earth, silently stealing lives.
The Horn of Death was a treasure that drained one’s will to fight. Once activated, it would sap all determination, filling the heart with despair and making it impossible to recover, potentially even driving one to suicide through emotional turmoil.
The Zhuxian Demon Sword Formation was an extremely terrifying killing formation. Once the thirty-six demon swords were activated, they would be unstoppable, slaying gods and annihilating Buddhas without mercy.
Xuankong’er unleashed a grand display, activating seven demonic artifacts simultaneously, making it impossible to defend against.
In an instant, the heavenly army fell into chaos. Many of the puppets used by the Supreme Elder Lord for showy displays were shattered, leaving only thirty thousand heavenly soldiers and generals locked in chaotic combat.
“Though demons may rise a foot, the Dao rises a yard. Xuankong’er, you’ve already used all your strength. Now it’s our turn to act!” The Supreme Elder Lord hovered steadily in the air, completely unperturbed. The seven-colored auspicious clouds beneath him suddenly dispersed, clearing away the evil and toxic energy. “Esteemed immortals, if you do not appear now, when will you come forth?”
“I’ve been waiting impatiently for this moment!”
With a whoosh, Leizhenzi appeared first, swinging his arms and hammering down bolts of lightning toward Xuankong’er.
“I’m here too…”
Nezha emerged, riding his Wind-Fire Wheels and wielding his red-tasseled spear, charging directly at Xuankong’er.
“Let me take his life…”
Erlang Shen intercepted Nezha and charged straight at Xuankong’er.
In the sky, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King arrived with tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals. Experts from various sects joined the fray. The Three Pure Ones and Six Emperors had all sent representatives. Deities from all four directions and immortals from every path came forth, including the Far-Seeing Eye and Wind-Listening Ear, not to mention even the Underworld, which had sent experts to assist. Thousands of ancient immortals surged forward in a deadly assault.
The First Heaven was thrown into utter chaos.
In the sky, all manner of treasures flew about, and countless flying swords filled the air.
However, not a single expert from the Buddhist Realm appeared.
Faced with so many enemies, Xuankong’er quickly found himself at a disadvantage.
At that moment, a loud explosion suddenly erupted from the Lingxiao Hall. The roof was blasted open by something, and a ten-colored beam of light shot into the sky, drawing in the imperial energy of the First Heaven and activating it all.
“Uh…”
Witnessing this, the Supreme Elder Lord was greatly startled.
Previously, the Supreme Elder Lord had placed the Seven-Holed Linglong Tree inside the black hole material of his bag to probe for information on Shuimiao. Later, he discovered that Shuimiao had gone to the Immortal-Demon Realm. He hadn’t expected Shuimiao to appear here. Shuimiao’s sudden appearance had somewhat disrupted his plans. But when he learned that Shuimiao had no powerful treasures on him, he had relaxed. However, now it was clear that Shuimiao had forged another extremely powerful treasure!
Judging by the spectacle, this treasure was at least a supreme-grade holy artifact, perhaps even higher.
The Supreme Elder Lord was not overly concerned about Xuankong’er, but he deeply feared Shuimiao, for Shuimiao was adept at using self-destructing treasures. Even though the First Heaven was vast, it could not withstand the terrifying explosion of such a treasure.
The ten-colored light gradually changed hue, becoming brilliant starlight!
Seeing this, Xuankong’er laughed heartily. “Haha, Supreme Elder Lord, you wicked old Taoist, this time you’re finished! Did you think I was fighting alone? Let me tell you, I’m now brothers with Shuimiao and Ci’en Daoist. Shuimiao is protected by purple clouds, not only being the Holy King of Yin-Yang Forging but also personally appointed by Hongjun Daoist as the First Holy Master of Feng Shui. I was merely stalling for time before. Now the real protagonist has arrived, hahaha…”
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
A series of explosions rang out.
The seven demonic treasures, under Xuankong’er’s will, all self-destructed!
Instantly, the First Heaven was plunged into chaos once again…
Wrapped in starlight, a massive golden disk-shaped treasure, ten meters in diameter, ascended from the ruins of the Lingxiao Hall. Shuimiao, Chongyuanzi, Tianyi Dejun, Wenchang Dijun, and Shuitianyi Shengmu all flew into the sky. Xuankong’er and Ci’en Daoist also flew to Shuimiao’s side. Gazing at the enormous disk-shaped treasure, Xuankong’er hurriedly asked, “Brother, what is this? Is it a replica of the Wheel of Reincarnation? It seems to be a semi-heavenly artifact!”
“Exactly. I added primordial liquid from a heavenly artifact, making this a semi-heavenly artifact,” Shuimiao nodded. Looking toward the Supreme Elder Lord and the legendary deities in the distance, he channeled his magical power, his voice booming like thunder: “To be precise, this is the Good and Evil Judgment Disk. Before it, there is only good and evil. No matter how legendary a deity may be, if their heart is dark, biased, or evil, they cannot escape the judgment of my Good and Evil Judgment Disk.”
The immortals dispelled the evil energy, took medicinal pills, regrouped, and surrounded Shuimiao and his companions.
Before the Supreme Elder Lord could speak, the mighty Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King roared, “Shuimiao, you speak recklessly. A mere mortal immortal dares to utter such arrogance! Do you wish to have your soul scattered, never to be reborn?”
“Wow, that tone sounds exactly like the corrupt and greedy officials of the mortal world!”
Shuimiao stepped forward, smiling coldly, and retorted sharply, “If I’m not mistaken, you must be the legendary Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing? The stories of your family are well known throughout the mortal world. However, your words just now left me stunned and bewildered. I never imagined that a legendary ancient immortal, a god in the eyes of mortals, would be nothing more than a confused bureaucrat who looks down on mortal immortals and speaks with an air of authority. To speak such shameless words without even understanding the situation—can you really be sure that you are the legendary Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, and not some impostor named Zhang San or Li Si?”
Shuimiao’s words were full of sarcasm.
Anyone with a little self-awareness would have blushed upon hearing them.
However, these words made many immortals’ eyes light up. Everyone knew of Li Jing’s bad temper but had only dared to be angry without daring to speak out. Today, they had finally encountered someone brave enough to voice their thoughts.
“Scoundrel! Scoundrel!”
Insulted and mocked by a mere mortal immortal, Li Jing was furious. He immediately summoned his Linglong Pagoda, which flew into the air, growing larger and larger until it hovered directly above Shuimiao and his companions.
“Shuimiao, be careful! That pagoda can suppress immortals and deities!”
Tianyi Dejun quickly warned.
“It’s fine. It’s not a primordial heavenly artifact. Watch me seal it,” Shuimiao smiled, shaking his head. With a flick of his mind, a powerful spiritual force surged into the Linglong Pagoda, altering its core formation and instantly taking control of it. He shrunk it down and held it in his palm.
“Linglong Pagoda? I think this one is a counterfeit too…”
Shuimiao examined the pagoda in his palm and summoned a blue flame, instantly melting the Linglong Pagoda into a pool of liquid…
