The Canghai Daoist, Yin-Yang Daoist, and Five Elements Daoist burst into wild laughter: "Hahaha, the orthodox lineage of humanity!"

A warrior leader of the Xigu valley, standing beside Xikuang, holding a Fangtian halberd and fiercely attacking the Canghai divine formation, suddenly stopped, lifted his head, and screamed hoarsely at Xihui: "Elders…… these demon troops……"

That warrior leader was struck down by a single blow from a nine-headed white bone staff, suffering grave injuries, his bones shattered all over, he spat blood mouthful after mouthful, his body convulsed, and he could no longer speak.

"We, inheriting the will of humanity's ancestors, strive to uphold the orthodox lineage of humanity and sustain humanity's propagation and survival." Elder Xizhu, gripping the nine-headed white bone staff, his thick tail swaying slowly on the ground, looked down at the gravely wounded warrior leader and coldly said: "Our will is humanity's will, is heaven and earth's will, is heaven and earth's law… whoever doubts us is nothing but demons!"

Xihui coldly said: "Take him away, throw him into the Holy Prison, await judgment!"

The elders exchanged glances swiftly, then lightly nodded.

Two venerable experts who followed closely behind the elders strode forward, seized the gravely wounded warrior leader by his ankle, and dragged him out of the main hall.

"Step back!" Xihui said calmly: "Watch well, the dignity of humanity shall not be violated… anyone who dares to break humanity's rules will surely die!"

Xikuang and the other warrior leaders led large numbers of elite armored troops in retreat, leaving the battlefield to the elders and the three Canghai Daoists.

Xihui touched the healed wound at the center of his forehead, glanced warily at the giant god soldiers continuously flying out of the God-Slaying Vessel after their spirit crystals had been replenished, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, be careful—these war puppets' concentrated fire attacks are extremely lethal; we are not body cultivators, a slight mistake could lead to our demise…… therefore……"

Xihui waved his right hand; with a hum, a full set of battle armor, its entire body formed from exquisite profound ice plates, draped over him.

This armor exuded a chilling Cold Qi; as it enveloped Xihui, countless hexagonal ice crystals swirled around him, forming rings of icy light that protected his whole body.

The Canghai Daoist burst into laughter: "Hahaha, this is the artifact of the Ice Spirit demon… you must have slain an Ice Spirit demon and seized his armor!"

Xihui nodded slowly: "Exactly so, you junior, you have some insight!"

The Five Elements Daoist burst into laughter, his little tongue trembling in his throat: "Ayoyo, my mother too…… you slew an Ice Spirit demon and took his armor—why is there not a single scratch on this set? So seamless, so flawless—don't tell me you also snatched the secret method of forging armor used by the Ice Spirit demon!"

Xihui abruptly shut his mouth, lowered his head to examine his own seamless, flawless ice armor.

Xizhu's body shuddered, and a set of armor radiating terrifying heat—molten lava armor—draped over him.

He said coldly: "What do you juniors know? Our magic reaches the divine, our powers boundless; even the armor of demon soldiers we have shattered, after countless years of contemplation, we can deduce some corresponding forging methods—it is effortless."

Xizhu said proudly: "These damaged armors, we have repaired them ourselves!"

The Yin-Yang Daoist's voice turned extremely soft and eerie: "Alas, it is you elders who personally repaired the demon soldiers' armor you broke… but the Dao of the extraterrestrial demons differs greatly from that of my Pangu lineage. To be able to repair their armor, you must have employed their forging way… Elders, have you comprehended the demons' Dao resonance?"

The Yin-Yang Daoist lightly clapped: "You have comprehended the demons' Dao resonance? Hehe, interesting, interesting… if so, why did you go to such trouble to set up this Heavenly Dao cavern, refining the Grand Dao resonance of Mu Dalu, what meaning does it have?"

The Yin-Yang Daoist whispered: "You have been tainted by the demons' Dao!"

The Five Elements Daoist whispered: "You are no longer pure, you are no longer human!"

The Canghai Daoist chuckled: "You constantly claim to be the orthodox lineage of humanity… yet you use demon troops, wear demon armor, comprehend the demon Dao, and hold a demonic treasure forged from the essence and souls of countless humans… the orthodox lineage of humanity indeed!"

The three Daoists simultaneously lowered their heads and spat: "A bunch of damned dogs!"

Xihui's expression stiffened; he held a spear condensed from seven-colored crystal stones, unleashing a seven-colored divine light that heavily bombarded the Canghai divine formation.

The other roughly one hundred elders simultaneously donned armor of various colors.

Thirty percent of the elders' armor clearly came from the various divine clans… the remaining seventy percent of the elders, their armor or other defensive treasures, all exuded demonic qi and murderous aura, being demonic treasures refined from human blood, human bones, and human souls.

Such as cloaks made of human skin, armor of human bones, capes woven from human hair, and so on……

Xikuang and the other Xigu valley warrior leaders stood aside; about half of the warrior leaders wore dazed expressions, staring in disbelief at those elders who had once been lofty and solemn.

The other roughly half of the warrior leaders, however, had deep gazes, cautiously observing from the side the changes in Xikuang and the others' expressions.

Invisibly, these elite warriors of Xigu who had entered the hall quietly split into two factions.

Some were at a loss, their faces pale with fright; some had red eyes, tears streaming from the corners.

Others wore cold expressions, their demeanor strange as they watched their comrades nearby, even subconsciously gripping their weapons tighter.

The Canghai divine formation trembled violently; under the combined attack of roughly one hundred elders whose power had surged, the Canghai Daoist, Five Elements Daoist, and Yin-Yang Daoist had already expended enormous mana and stamina.

The frenzied assault came wave after wave; the residual force transmitted through the formation struck the three, and the Canghai Daoist, Yin-Yang Daoist, and Five Elements Daoist simultaneously bled from their seven orifices.
