Chapter 481: This Battle, We Won!

As the space in the Outer Domain overlapped and oscillated, many Outer Domain stones collided, forming a storm of Innate Violent Qi.

"Senior Wutian, let's go!"

The bombing was finished, so there was no need to stay here for the time being.

Wutian nodded and used the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus to take the few of them back to the Inner Realm.

After Tang An disappeared, Nuwa and Fuxi appeared; they stopped tangling with the Origin Demon and vanished into the Outer Domain.

The Origin Demon was furious and wanted to forcibly reopen the Two-Domain Passage to go and kill Tang An.

However, the Saints in the Inner Realm were not to be trifled with.

Everyone took out their signature skills one after another to place seals within the Two-Domain Passage, and Nuwa even used the power of the Mending Heaven Stone to mend the space of the Two-Domain Passage.

In a fit of rage, the Origin Demon projected his Dharma body into the Three Realms and looked at Tang An.

"Next time, I will surely kill you."

Tang An stood with her hands behind her back, a Thousand-Zhang Golden Body also condensing behind her.

"What a coincidence, we in the vast Huaxia have a saying: things do not happen more than three times. When we fight again next time, I will certainly not spare your life."

The two stared at each other, their auras evenly matched.

And the Outer Realm Demon Race had lost all advantages of time, place, and people; he had already lost the chance to kill Tang An.

"The Great Tribulation is not over, the winner is not yet decided."

"I hope you have the same good luck next time."

Tang An smiled faintly, "Then I shall take your kind words."

The Origin Demon did not speak again, and his Dharma body vanished within the Three Realms.

Seeing the Origin Demon leave, Tang An turned her head to look at the battlefield of Zhenmo Pass.

Outside Zhenmo Pass, there were countless corpses, and the stench of blood was extremely heavy. Yet inside Zhenmo Pass, not a single drop of blood had been stained.

In truth, this battle appeared to be her victory, but Tang An knew clearly in her heart. In war, there are never true winners.

"Tang An is here to thank you all." She held a salute with both hands, offering thanks to the immortals, demons, humans, and the Demon Saint Wutian who had participated in this battle.

"We... won?" The voice of a minor immortal appeared abruptly.

But no one blamed him; everyone looked at Tang An.

Tang An nodded with a smile, "Just now in the Outer Domain, I destroyed thirteen Origin Demon Nests, wiping out nearly half of their military strength."

"Without a doubt, we have won this battle."

Hearing that she had destroyed thirteen Origin Demon Nests in one go, even the Sanqing Saint found it difficult to calm their emotions for a long time.

In the past, there were indeed Guardians who could manage to destroy one or two Origin Demon Nests. Yet, no one had ever been able to destroy thirteen Origin Demon Nests in one go during the first battle.

Terrifying, simply too terrifying.

"Won! We won!"

The minor immortal was the first to shout, followed by four or five voices of incredulous, joyful questioning.

Then, a massive, heart-stirring atmosphere was ignited; whether they were immortals or demons, no one cared anymore. Everyone wept with joy, embracing the person nearest to them to celebrate.

After all, the Outer Realm Demon Race was generally stronger, and this battle had been fought very arduously.

"Satisfying! Let's see if the Outer Realm Demon Race dares to clamor again in the future!"

"Who said they were immortal and indestructible? With Chang'an Princess here, she can destroy them!"

"Right, with Chang'an Princess here, the safety of the Three Realms is guaranteed!"

Everyone raised the magical artifacts in their hands and shouted in unison for Tang An.

"Chang'an Princess!"

"Chang'an Princess!"

"Chang'an Princess!"

In their hearts, Tang An had already become an invincible existence.

And their Faith Power transformed into streams of red light, merging into Tang An's body.

Tang An nodded and smiled in response to everyone; she was also very grateful for their adoration.

Only...

Her body was excessively exhausted, her Qi Sea was severely injured, and her meridians were damaged; even the leaves of the Ginseng Fruit could not fully repair them.

Fortunately, the power of Faith and Merit could repair all the hidden injuries within her body.

But she had suddenly received the Faith Power of heaven, earth, and man; it was like someone who had been hungry for a long time suddenly binge-eating, and her body certainly could not handle it.

"Jiuyue." Tang An gripped Jiuyue's hand.

She was now suddenly weak and drained, needing Jiuyue to help support her. After all, at such a heart-stirring moment, it would not do for her to collapse right then.

Jiuyue immediately sensed Tang An's weakness and hurriedly supported her.

Tang An looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu, "Master, I leave... leave it to you, we... we will first..."

But before she could finish her sentence, Tang An lost consciousness.

"Sister!"

"Master!"

Jiuyue transformed into her nine-tailed fox form, wrapped her fox tail around Tang An's waist, and pulled her onto her back.

Taishang Laojun teleported over to check Tang An's injuries, "Excessive consumption, she will be fine after eating some Immortal Pills later." He gave Tongtian Jiaozhu a look and then left with Tang An.

Tongtian Jiaozhu sensed something was wrong immediately, so he also passed the buck, leaving the current situation to Yuanshi Tianzun and the Jade Emperor.

"Remember, reward based on merit. If there is any unfairness, when my disciple wakes up later, she will surely dismantle your treasuries." After saying this, Tongtian Jiaozhu teleported to Zhenmo Pass.

On Zhenmo Pass, in the pavilion.

Jiuyue, Sun Wukong, and the others brought Tang An here and placed her on a jade bed.

Her complexion turned pale and then flushed, from which one could see just how chaotic things had become inside her body.

"Senior Brother." Tongtian Jiaozhu followed over, and at a single glance, he saw the chaos and ruin within Tang An's body.

"Her Qi Sea..."

Taishang Laojun signaled for him not to make a scene, "The news of the Guardian falling is not suitable to be spread at this time."

That was why he had only said earlier that Tang An was suffering from overexertion.

But she was far from just overexerted; her meridians were on the verge of shattering, covered in cracks. Her Qi Sea had nearly become a ruin, and the Dharma Power within her body was in disarray, surging everywhere.

"This child, I fear she swallowed many Immortal Pills without regard for her life."

Taishang Laojun's tone was chiding, yet his eyes were full of heartache. "Tell me, this disciple of yours, why does she not cherish her own body at all?"

Tongtian Jiaozhu was truly heartbroken, "Stop talking so much, hurry and treat her."

Taishang Laojun sighed, "She has consumed too many Immortal Pills; taking any more would surely do more harm than good."

"For now, you and I can only help her force the Dharma Power in her body back into her Qi Sea and wait for her to recover slowly on her own."

For the first time, Tongtian Jiaozhu felt that his Senior Brother was not omnipotent. For instance, right now, he could not even heal his precious disciple.

"If she hadn't insisted that you and I guard the Inner Realm and not let any Saint interfere in her affairs in the Outer Domain, how could she have been hurt like this?" He was both anxious and angry.

Unfortunately, saying anything more now was useless.

Taishang Laojun sighed, "There are not many people she can trust, and you and I barely count as two."

"If you and I cannot stabilize the Inner Realm and let other Saints interfere in the affairs of the Outer Domain, she will very likely be attacked from both sides."

"Enough, let's not say more; let's first take action to force the rampaging Dharma Power in her body back into her Qi Sea."

Even he felt that Tang An was too hardworking and too desperate.

She was clearly a little girl who loved to be lazy, loved to be crafty, and loved to swindle and deceive everywhere. Yet for the sake of all living beings in the Three Realms, she had no choice but to mature, no choice but to grow up, and no choice but to risk her life.

Fortunately, her sacrifice was not in vain; after this battle, the Three Realms would usher in at least several thousand years of stability.
