While Wu Tie, Gongsun SanYang, and the Devil Sovereign were battling in the firmament, the current God‑Emperor of the Fufeng Divine Dynasty, Fu Fengyu, together with the dynasty's princes and ministers, rushed to Fengfeng City via a teleportation array.

Interpretation: "Just as Wu Tie and Gongsun SanYang and the Devil Sovereign were fighting above the firmament, the current Fufeng Divine Dynasty's God-Emperor Fufeng Yue, together with the many princes and ministers of the Fufeng Divine Dynasty, rushed to Fengfeng City via the teleportation array."

Fu Fengyu's younger brother, the Prince Yi of the Fufeng Divine Dynasty, Fu Fenggui—a veritable half‑step Sovereign expert—stepped onto flowing clouds, following the guidance of Fu Fengyou and Fu Fengya, and traced the ascent path of Gongsun SanYang and Wu Tie, shooting straight up into the sky.

The younger brother of Fufeng Yoke, Prince Yi of the Fufeng Divine Dynasty, Fufeng Gui, a formidable half‑step Sovereign‑level expert, stepped on flowing clouds, following the guidance of Fufeng Youran and Fufeng YaSi, tracing the ascent path of Gongsun SanYang and Wu Tie, and shot straight up into the sky.

Interpretation: "Fufeng Yue's younger brother, the Prince Yi of the Fufeng Divine Dynasty, Fufeng Gui, a mighty half-step Sovereign expert, directly stepped on flowing clouds, following the guidance of Fufeng Youran and Fufeng Yasi, along the trajectory of Gongsun SanYang and Wu Tie ascending to heaven, he shot straight up into the sky."

At the speed that covers ten thousand li in an instant, Fu Fenggui spent a full quarter of an hour climbing to an altitude of thirty million li above the ground, but upon encountering the first of the Nine Heavens' Gang winds he could advance no further.

Unwilling to yield, Fu Fenggui carefully activated an innate spiritual treasure to shield himself, gritted his teeth, and pushed upward another roughly hundred zhang.

Interpretation: "At the speed of fleeing light covering ten thousand li in an instant, Fufeng Gui spent a full quarter of an hour climbing to a height of thirty million li above the ground; upon encountering the first Nine Heavens Gale, he could no longer advance even an inch."

Suddenly a wind howl like thunder cracked the azure sky, and a dreadful gust stripped Fu Fenggui of all his magical power; his limbs twitched as he plummeted straight down from that thirty‑million‑li height.

Unwilling to yield, Fufeng Gui activated an innate spiritual treasure to protect his body, cautiously gritting his teeth as he broke through upward by about a hundred zhang.

Interpretation: "Unwilling to accept defeat, Fufeng Gui activated an innate spiritual treasure to protect his body, carefully and gritting his teeth, he broke through upward by about a hundred zhang."

As he fell, he coughed up blood; the gust not only scattered his bodily magic but invaded his very spirit. Fortunately, a secret treasure on his soul suppressed the invasion, damaging only part of his origin without threatening his life.

Suddenly, a wind howl in the clear sky thundered like a clap of thunder, and a terrifying gust swept away Fufeng Gui's entire magical power, causing his limbs to twitch as he plummeted straight down from a height of thirty million li.

Interpretation: "Then a wind howl in the azure sky thundered like a clap of thunder; Fufeng Gui was blasted by a dreadful gale, his bodily magical power scattered, his limbs twitching as he plummeted straight down from the height of thirty million li."

Even so, after Fu Fenggui fell from that height and was rescued by the Fufeng Divine Dynasty's high‑ranking officials in midair, his cultivation was forcibly driven down from half‑step Sovereign to the Ninth Heaven of the Divine Realm.

As he fell, he coughed up blood; that gust not only dispersed his magical power but also invaded his body, striking his very soul. Fortunately, Fufeng Gui's soul was shielded by a secret treasure, sustaining only partial damage to his origin without endangering his life.

Interpretation: "As he fell, he coughed up blood; that gale not only scattered Fufeng Gui's bodily magical power, but also invaded his body, directly striking his soul. Fortunately, his soul had a secret treasure suppressing it, only damaging part of his origin, without threatening his life."

Fu Fengyu stood with his hands behind his back on the highest tower of Fengfeng City's lord's manor, gazing at the azure‑blue sky, and sighed helplessly: "If one does not reach Sovereign level, one is ultimately an ant… yet this world does not allow our human race to achieve Sovereign level… if…"

A flash of extremely dangerous, ruthless light flickered in Fu Fengyu's eyes.

Interpretation: "Even so, after Fufeng Gui fell from the sky and was rescued by a group of high-ranking officials of the Fufeng Divine Dynasty in midair, his cultivation had been forcibly dropped from half-step Sovereign to the Ninth Heaven of the Divine Realm."

That gleam of menace appeared and vanished in an instant; Fu Fengyu sighed, shook his head slightly, and muttered: "Wa Island… hey, Wa Island… with Wa Island's suppression, even breaking through to Sovereign level… but if I truly could use that method to break through, what could Wa Island do?"

"Perhaps…"

Interpretation: "Fufeng Yue stood with his hands behind his back on the highest tower eave of the lord's manor in Shanfeng City, gazing at the azure-blue sky, he couldn't help but sigh: 'If one does not reach Sovereign level, one is ultimately an ant… yet this world does not allow our human race to achieve Sovereign level… if…'"

"If one does not reach Sovereign level, one is ultimately an ant… yet this world does not allow our human race to achieve Sovereign level… if…"

The Yin‑Yang Daoist, the Canghai Daoist, the Five Elements Daoist, together with the Six Desires Devil Sovereign, came shouting to the skies above Fengfeng City and then ascended straight toward the firmament, while Fu Fengyu, Fu Fenggui, and the other high officials of the Fufeng Divine Dynasty stood on the ground, gazing upward with complex thoughts.

Interpretation: "A flash of extremely dangerous, ruthless killing intent flickered in Fufeng Yue's eyes."

We'll translate: "A flash of extremely dangerous, ruthless killing intent flickered in Fufeng Yue's eyes."

They stared, mouths agape, as nine fierce, terrifying, unfamiliar auras shot up into the heavens.

Interpretation: "That flash of killing intent had just appeared and instantly vanished; Fufeng Yue sighed, lightly shaking his head: 'Wa Island… hey, Wa Island… with Wa Island suppressing it, even if one broke through to Sovereign level… but, if I truly could use that method to break through to Sovereign level, what could Wa Island do?'"

Hey, Wa Island's suppression has broken through to Sovereign level—that method.

Every one of them trembled, some even frozen in shock—these nine auras had never appeared before in either the Supreme Devil Kingdom or the Fufeng Divine Dynasty.

Interpretation: "\"Perhaps…\""

We'll output exactly: "【12】 \"Perhaps…\""

So… they most likely came from the continent targeted by the 'Disaster‑Water Eastward Lead'!

Interpretation: "The Yin-Yang Daoist, the Canghai Daoist, the Five Elements Daoist, together with the Six Desires Devil Sovereign, came shouting to the skies above Shanfeng City, then straight up they ascended the firmament; meanwhile, Fufeng Yue, Fufeng Gui, and the other high-ranking officials of the Fufeng Divine Dynasty stood on the ground, gazing up at the sky with complex thoughts."

Shouting, they arrived above Shanfeng City and shot straight up to the firmament, their minds filled with complex thoughts.

"Good heavens… I've said it before: better we flee than let wolves in again. Now look—the Supreme Devil Kingdom still eyes us tigerishly, and another evil wolf watches; our Fufeng Divine Dynasty… our Fufeng Divine Dynasty…" An elder of the Fu clan, white‑haired, his breath failing and his lifespan at its end, panted and shouted hoarsely.

Interpretation: "They stared, dumbstruck, as nine fierce, terrifying, unfamiliar auras shot up into the sky."

We'll translate: "They stared, dumbstruck, as nine fierce, terrifying, unfamiliar auras shot up into the sky."

"Luring the wolf to devour the tiger is indeed a good stratagem." Fu Fenggui, the formulator and leader of the 'Disaster‑Water Eastward Lead' plan, shouted sternly: "I fear that continent's strength is too weak; right now they also have Sovereign‑level beings—perfect, perfect… when tiger and wolf fight, we finally have a chance to profit!"

Interpretation: "Each of them trembled all over, and some were so frightened they stood dumbstruck—these nine auras had never appeared in the Supreme Devil Kingdom or the Fufeng Divine Dynasty."

We'll translate: "Each of them trembled all over, and some were so frightened they stood dumbstruck—these nine auras had never appeared in the Supreme Devil Kingdom or the Fufeng Divine Dynasty."

As soon as Fu Fenggui finished speaking, he saw in the high heavens black‑and‑white spiritual light pouring down like a whale sucking in water; then, on the north side of Fengfeng City, three powerful, evil demonic auras simply vanished into thin air.

Interpretation: "So… they very likely came from the continent targeted by the 'Luring the Disaster Eastward' stratagem!"

We need to keep the quotes around the term. We'll translate: "So… they very likely came from the continent targeted by the 'Luring the Disaster Eastward' stratagem!"

"That is…" the Fufeng Divine Dynasty's high officials felt their souls shaken; they stared, speechless.

Interpretation: "\"Good heavens… I said before, better we flee than let wolves in again. Now look, the Supreme Devil Kingdom still eyes us tigerishly, and there's another evil wolf watching—our Fufeng Divine Dynasty… our Fufeng Divine Dynasty…\" An elder of the Fufeng clan, white-haired, his breath failing, his lifespan at its end, panted and shouted hoarsely."

"That is, the Blood Sea Old Ancestor, the Sect Master Pudu, the Soul‑Devouring Old Ancestor… the three old monsters of the Supreme Devil Kingdom, just…" A Fufeng Divine Dynasty general stuttered and screamed: "I have seen those three old monsters act on the battlefield; their aura is unmistakable."

The black‑and‑white spiritual light recoiled; in the high sky six strange demonic lights flickered rapidly, and a terrifying demonic pressure crushed down from the extreme heights. Inside Fengfeng City, the half‑step Sovereign experts of the Fufeng Divine Dynasty, keenly perceptive, felt the six demonic auras rushing upward; cold sweat broke out over them, quickly soaking their clothes.

Interpretation: "\"Luring the wolf to devour the tiger is indeed a good stratagem. \" Fufeng Gui was the formulator and leader of the 'Luring the Disaster Eastward' plan; he shouted sternly: \"I fear that continent's strength is too weak; right now they also have Sovereign-level existences—perfect, perfect… when tiger and wolf fight, we finally have a chance to profit! \"

"If they could both suffer mutual destruction…" Fu Fengyu clenched his fists, a mix of dread and hope in his gaze as he looked up at the sky.

Interpretation: "Just as Fufeng Gui's words left his mouth, he saw in the extremely high sky, black-and-white spiritual light pouring down like a whale sucking in water; then, to the north of Shanfeng City, three powerful, evil demonic auras vanished into thin air."

Black‑and‑white spiritual light poured down like a whale sucking in water, and three powerful, evil demonic auras vanished into thin air.

"They must suffer mutual destruction." Fu Fenggui gritted his teeth and muttered lowly: "If not, then we'll have to go all‑in…"

Interpretation: "\"That is…\" the Fufeng Divine Dynasty's high-ranking officials only felt their souls shaken; each stood dumbstruck, unable to speak."

We'll translate: "\"That is…\" the Fufeng Divine Dynasty's high-ranking officials only felt their souls shaken; each stood dumbstruck, unable to speak."

Fu Fenggui's gaze suddenly turned cold and icy, like a blade, as he furtively swept over the assembled civil and military officials of the Fufeng Divine Dynasty, and even the clan's elders and princes.

Interpretation: "\"That is, the Blood Sea Old Ancestor, plus the Sect Master Pudu and the Soul-Devouring Old Ancestor… the three old monsters of the Supreme Devil Kingdom, just like that…\" A general of the Fufeng Divine Dynasty stuttered and screamed: \"I've seen those three old monsters act on the battlefield; their aura is unmistakable. \""

The Sect Master Pudu, the Soul‑Devouring Old Ancestor, and the three old monsters of the Supreme Devil Kingdom stuttered and screamed.

High in the firmament, one hundred and eight Canghai Divine Pearls came crashing down upon Gongsun SanYang in a wild frenzy of chopping and striking.

Interpretation: "The black-and-white spiritual light recoiled; in the high sky, six strange demonic lights flickered rapidly, and a terrifying demonic pressure crushed down from the extreme heights; inside Shanfeng City, the Fufeng Divine Dynasty's half-step Sovereign experts, keenly perceptive, felt the six demonic auras rushing upward, and cold sweat broke out all over them, quickly soaking their clothes."

In an extremely short time, Gongsun SanYang produced over a dozen immensely powerful merit holy artifacts and Buddhist treasures, throwing all his strength into blocking them.

Interpretation: "\"If they could both suffer losses…\" Fufeng Yue clenched his fists, looking at the sky with both fear and hope."

We'll translate: "\"If they could both suffer losses…\" Fufeng Yue clenched his fists, looking at the sky with both fear and hope."

Though he was badly injured and his vital energy greatly depleted, the power of the Canghai Divine Pearls vastly exceeded that of ordinary spiritual treasures; in the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, all of his holy artifacts and Buddhist treasures were forcibly shattered by the pearls and then swallowed whole by the Grand Dao Furnace.

Interpretation: "\"They must both suffer losses. \" Fufeng Gui gritted his teeth and muttered lowly: \"If not, then we'll have to go all-in…\""

Gritting his teeth, he muttered lowly, "Go all‑in."

The Five Elements Daoist, the Yin‑Yang Daoist, together with the Canghai Daoist, launched a fierce assault; the three of them surrounded and pummeled Gongsun SanYang until he coughed up blood profusely, his last trace of magical power completely exhausted, and finally he was swept into the Yin‑Yang Daoist's treasure vase.

Interpretation: "Fufeng Gui's gaze suddenly turned cold and icy, like a blade, as he furtively swept over the civil and military officials present of the Fufeng Divine Dynasty, and even the clan elders and princes."

Amidst the bitter demonic clouds, only the Devil Sovereign, protected by the Nine Dragons Fallen Mourning Stele, and his five avatars remained.

One hundred and eight Canghai Divine Pearls came crashing down upon Gongsun SanYang in a wild frenzy of chopping and striking.

The Yin‑Yang Daoist, the Canghai Daoist, the Five Elements Daoist, together with the Six Desires Devil Sovereign, each wearing a smile, approached; though the Devil Sovereign's voice varied in pitch, they chorused in unison: "Surrender, why struggle uselessly? Nine against one—do you still think you have a chance?"

Interpretation: "In an extremely short time, Gongsun SanYang produced over a dozen immensely powerful merit holy artifacts and Buddhist treasures, and threw all his strength into blocking them."

Over a dozen immensely powerful merit holy artifacts and Buddhist treasures were thrown into the fray with all his strength.

"Surrender… we'll treat you well as prisoners." The Six Desires Devil Sovereign's eerie, grating laughter rang out again, continually stirring the devilish flames within the Devil Sovereign's body, boiling his essence and blood, and withering his frame rapidly: "Why suffer needlessly? Isn't it painful enough? Surrender, why bother?"

Interpretation: "But he was badly injured, his vital energy greatly depleted, and the power of the Canghai Divine Pearls vastly exceeded that of ordinary spiritual treasures; in just the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, all of Gongsun SanYang's holy artifacts and Buddhist treasures were forcibly shattered by the Canghai Divine Pearls, then swallowed whole by the Grand Dao Furnace."

One hundred and eight Canghai Divine Pearls, arranged in the void according to the positions of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil, laid out a formation; the pressure of one hundred and eight Canghai worlds then crashed down.

Interpretation: "The Five Elements Daoist, the Yin-Yang Daoist, together with the Canghai Daoist, launched a fierce assault; the three of them surrounded and pummeled Gongsun SanYang until he coughed up blood profusely, his last trace of magical power completely exhausted, and finally he was swept into the Yin-Yang Daoist's treasure vase."

Launching a fierce assault, the three of them surrounded and pummeled Gongsun SanYang until he coughed up blood profusely, his last trace of magical power completely exhausted, and finally he was swept into the Yin‑Yang Daoist's treasure vase.

A miserable dragon's roar rose to the heavens; the nine devil dragons shielding the Devil Sovereign and his five avatars suddenly shrank by more than half, their thick black scales exploding into countless fragments amid the piercing cracks, their black skins torn by the dreadful pressure, and black dragon blood poured down like a waterfall across the sky.

Interpretation: "Amidst the bitter demonic clouds, only the Devil Sovereign remained, protected by the Nine Dragons Fallen Mourning Stele, along with his five avatars."

Nine against one, do you still have a chance to win? \""

Each wearing a smile, they approached, their voices varying in pitch, and they chorused in unison.

A towering giant tree floated above the Five Elements Daoist's head; the three‑legged golden crow, its flesh condensed to the size of a calf, lay lazily on the treetop of the giant mulberry, its small eyes continually emitting threads of golden light, constantly burning fist‑sized holes into the nine devil dragons.

Interpretation: "\"Surrender… we'll treat captives well. \" The Six Desires Devil Sovereign's eerie, grating laughter rang out again, continually stirring the devilish flames within the Devil Sovereign's body, boiling his essence and blood, his body rapidly withering: \"Why struggle uselessly? Isn't it painful enough? Surrender, why bother? \""

Eerie, grating laughter continually stirred the devilish flames within the Devil Sovereign's body, boiling his essence and blood as his body rapidly withered.

The Yin‑Yang Daoist's head bore a hovering Yin‑Yang Two‑Qi Vessel; black‑and‑white spiritual qi swirled rapidly behind him, forming a ten‑thousand‑li diameter taiji yin‑yang fish that spun without cease.

Interpretation: "One hundred and eight Canghai Divine Pearls, arranged in the void according to the positions of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil, laid out a formation; the pressure of one hundred and eight Canghai worlds crashed down."

Arranged in the void according to the positions of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil, a formation was laid out, and the pressure of one hundred and eight Canghai worlds crashed down.

A miserable dragon's roar rang out as the nine devil dragons shielding the Devil Sovereign and his five avatars suddenly shrank by more than half; their thick black scales exploded into countless fragments amid the piercing cracks, their black skins torn by the dreadful pressure, and black dragon blood poured down like a waterfall across the sky.

This region of void was held fast by the Yin‑Yang Daoist's innate yin‑yang two qi, completely sealing all ordinary evasion arts.

Interpretation: "Behind the Five Elements Daoist, five-colored divine light surged like a vast sea, endless."

We'll translate: "Behind the Five Elements Daoist, five-colored divine light surged like a vast sea, endless."

Although they lacked Wu Tie's brute force of flesh‑and‑blood combat and the splendid variety of thunderous arts, they harmed invisibly, undermined foundations silently, being all the more vicious, evil, and impossible to guard against.

Interpretation: "An immense force surged from the taiji dual fish, sealing time, sealing space, locking onto yin-yang and the five elements."

An immense force surged from the taiji dual fish, sealing time, sealing space, and locking onto yin‑yang and the five elements.

The Devil Sovereign and his five avatars already struggled to endure the Yin‑Yang Daoist's assault; then, after a barrage from the Six Desires Devil Sovereign, their formation collapsed instantly.

Demonic sound: each note could stir the darkest, deepest desires in people's hearts, arousing invisible demonic flames that burned and destroyed everything.

"You…" the Devil Sovereign wanted to utter a few harsh words, then gave his all to break out.

Interpretation: "Their attacks lacked Wu Tie's brute force of flesh-and-blood combat, nor the splendid variety of thunderous arts, yet they harmed invisibly, undermined foundations silently, being all the more vicious, evil, and impossible to guard against."

Lacking Wu Tie's brute force of flesh‑and‑blood combat and the splendid variety of thunderous arts, they harmed invisibly, undermined foundations silently, being all the more vicious, evil, and impossible to guard against.

But the Canghai Divine Pearls gave him no chance to speak harshly; a single pearl flashed in and struck his mouth heavily.

Interpretation: "The Devil Sovereign and his five avatars already struggled to endure the Yin-Yang Daoist's assault; then, after a barrage from the Six Desires Devil Sovereign, their formation collapsed instantly."

Already struggling to endure the Yin‑Yang Daoist's assault, a barrage from the Six Desires Devil Sovereign instantly threw their formation into chaos.

His teeth shattered like powder, blood gushed like a spring, the Devil Sovereign hoarsely cried out, shaking his head fiercely, unable to utter another word.

Interpretation: "The Canghai Daoist raised his brow, lightly tapped a finger, and twelve Canghai Divine Pearls seized a gap in the nine devil dragons, darting forth nimbly and striking the Devil Sovereign heavily once more."

He raised his brow, lightly tapped a finger, and twelve Canghai Divine Pearls seized a gap in the nine devil dragons, darting forth nimbly and striking the Devil Sovereign heavily once more.

The Grand Dao Furnace drifted slowly over, its great mouth hovering upside‑down above the Nine Dragons Fallen Mourning Stele.

Interpretation: "Just then the Devil Sovereign had already been beaten to the point of countless broken bones; after being struck hard by those twelve Canghai Divine Pearls, he let out a miserable cry as both arms and both legs were shattered to pieces by the pearls."

Countless bones were broken, and after being struck hard by those twelve Canghai Divine Pearls, the Devil Sovereign let out a miserable cry as both arms and both legs were shattered to pieces by the pearls.

The Nine Dragons Fallen Mourning Stele let out a low growl; the nine devil dragons no longer cared for the Devil Sovereign's or his avatars' lives, each lifting its head and focusing entirely on the Grand Dao Furnace.

Interpretation: "\"You…\" the Devil Sovereign wanted to utter a few harsh words, then gave his all to break out."

He wanted to utter a few harsh words, then gave his all to break out.

Wu Tie sat cross‑legged in midair; the golden sword curtain, having lost Gongsun SanYang's control, saw its downward pressure suddenly ease.

Interpretation: "But the Canghai Divine Pearls gave him no chance to speak harshly; a single divine pearl flashed and struck his mouth heavily."

His teeth shattered like powder, blood gushed like a spring, he hoarsely cried out, shaking his head fiercely, unable to utter another word.

The sword intent and qi bursting from the golden sword curtain suddenly stagnated; the square sword marks it kept carving on Wu Tie's body vanished instantly. The golden sword curtain emitted a low hum, and its vast brilliance began to collapse inward.

Interpretation: "The Grand Dao Furnace drifted slowly over, its great mouth hovering upside-down above the Nine Dragons Fallen Mourning Stele."

As the sword curtain collapsed, it became like an iron gate; the gate quietly opened, and Wu Tie's merit power flowed in like a gentle stream.

Sat cross‑legged in midair, the golden sword curtain, having lost Gongsun SanYang's control, saw its downward pressure suddenly ease.

The speed of the sword curtain's collapse grew ever faster; after a quarter of an hour, when Wu Tie's accumulated vast merit had been forcibly consumed by half, a longsword wholly like cast bronze—ancient in form, upright in aura, majestic and dignified, its divine light concealed—leapt out of the vanishing curtain of its own accord and jumped into Wu Tie's hand.

Interpretation: "Wu Tie raised his head and said solemnly to the golden sword curtain: \"Holy weapons have spirit; you should be able to feel my merit, you should be able to sense my original heart. \""

He said solemnly to the golden sword curtain, "Holy weapons have spirit; you should be able to feel my merit; you should be able to sense my original heart."

The sword intent and qi bursting from the golden sword curtain suddenly stagnated; the square sword marks it kept carving on Wu Tie's body vanished instantly; the golden sword curtain emitted a low hum, and its vast brilliance began to collapse inward.

With a muffled 'hum', the blade of this holy sword gave Wu Tie an extremely dull feeling, lacking the cold light flashing and sharp edge of ordinary weapons.

Interpretation: "As the sword curtain collapsed, it became like an iron gate; the gate quietly opened, and Wu Tie's merit power flowed in like a gentle stream."

However, Wu Tie could feel the mighty, terrifying power contained within this longsword.

Interpretation: "But Wu Tie could feel the mighty, terrifying power contained within this longsword."

The mighty, terrifying power contained within this longsword.

At the same time, this long sword faintly communicated with heaven and earth, as if the whole heaven and earth were revolving around this long sword.

Compared to that sword, after losing his rival, the black sword that had recondensed its true form was blazing with edge, its light myriad zhang, piercingly sharp to the bone, and he was utterly out of place in this world, aloof and peerless, disdaining any exchange and communication with it.

"You are a peerless killing sword, aloof and stern." Wu Tie patted the sword hovering before him, which constantly emitted a sharp sword cry, its tip pointing at the holy sword held in his right hand, the black sword eager to leap forward at any moment.

"And you, are the true sovereign's weapon, upright and proper, vast and immense, and capable of moving the power of heaven and earth; as the sovereign issues a single command, countless common folk will follow." Wu Tie held the black sword in his left hand, the yellow sword in his right hand, and smiled: "All good, all good, all..."

Wu Tie suddenly felt as if he had a toothache, and lightly sucked in a breath of cold air.

In his mind, countless sword formation diagrams surged forth. These were from Old Iron's inherited vast database, the most powerful and grandiose sword formation diagrams from the primordial mythic era.

Some of these sword formation diagrams are things that exist only in myth and legend.

Wu Tie, almost instinctively, among so many diagrams, had a flash of inspiration and directly selected one diagram.

He waved the left-hand black sword, which was incredibly sharp, with murderous intent unmatched, as if it wanted to slaughter all living beings and exterminate humanity; then he waved the right-hand holy weapon, which was grand and magnificent, upright and proper, containing boundless merit and boundless creation.

Wu Tie murmured: "One kill, one heal; one death, one life; one withering, one prosperity; one extermination, one propagation... This is the opposition of life and death, and also the transformation of yin and yang."

Wu Tie then looked at the Yin-Yang Daoist's head, at the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle.

The Yin-Yang Daoist's face twitched heavily; he pointed a finger, and the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle whooshed back into his body. The Yin-Yang Daoist gave a dry laugh to Wu Tie: "Fellow Daoist, I only have this one bottle; fellow Daoist, you'd better let him go!"

Wu Tie slowly nodded: "Ah, I never thought of stealing your treasure... I just need a clump of innate Yin-Yang Two Qi origin... Well, also, the foundation of this black sword is still too lacking."

The black sword suddenly emitted a sharp, ringing sword cry; its blade violently jumped and writhed, and a slash of sword light was about to chop toward Wu Tie's right-hand holy sword.

"Well, well, well, I'm not saying you're no good... You are indeed forged from a fragment of the main body... While this holy weapon is at least forged from thirty percent of the remnants of a supreme sacred artifact... Your origin is stronger than his, but who let you be so deficient?"

"Hmm, don't worry, don't worry, I'll immediately help you recover a bit more vital energy."

Wu Tie, with a hint of a strange smile, glanced at the Demonic Sovereign covered in blood, then lowered his head to look at Mu Dalu below.

"Hmm, the treasury of the Supreme Demon Kingdom, plus the compensation from the Fufeng Divine Dynasty... will surely let your power increase greatly, catching up to your good brother, good partner!"

As the words "good brother, good partner" left his mouth, the black and yellow swords simultaneously trembled and roared, seeming quite dissatisfied, quite unwilling.

Wu Tie, however, smiled, lightly waved them, and step by step walked toward the Demonic Sovereign.
