Chapter 797: Yuding's Defeat and Flight

Xiqi retreated, leaving only corpses covering the ground.

The mountains and plains were completely stained red.

The earth radiated waves of blood-colored light, and the baleful aura soared to the heavens, making one mistakenly believe it was a world of a blood prison.

Following Xiqi's retreat, only four Golden Immortals were still fighting.

Zhao Gongming said loudly, "Fellow Daoist, our cultivation levels are similar; it is difficult to determine a victor if we continue to fight. Since that is the case, we can only distinguish the winner through Spirit Treasures. Please receive my move."

As he spoke, twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls appeared before him, blooming with brilliant Divine Light.

Each Sea-Calming Pearl was the size of an adult's fist, azure and crystalline.

"Go!"

Following Zhao Gongming's sharp shout, the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls shot toward Yunzhongzi like streaks of light.

Yunzhongzi's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly offered up the Heaven-Piercing Divine Fire Pillar.

The Heaven-Piercing Divine Fire Pillar, a Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure, consisted of eight pillars, each over three zhang long and one zhang in circumference; inside each pillar were forty-nine fire dragons, capable of both offense and defense.

In the original work, Wen Zhong died under the Heaven-Piercing Divine Fire Pillar.

The eight Heaven-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars arranged themselves in an Eight Trigrams formation around Yunzhongzi, and one after another, fire dragons appeared.

They roared toward the sky, their voices shaking the firmament, like a group of dragons flying into the heavens.

Boom! Boom!

Each Sea-Calming Pearl, like a comet flying in from the Starry Sky, collided with the Heaven-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars, emitting one massive explosion after another, causing the Boundary to tremble.

Under the impact of the Sea-Calming Pearls, the eight Heaven-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars trembled violently and finally collapsed with a boom.

As the Heaven-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars collapsed, the fire dragons also wailed and disintegrated, turning into countless clusters of Heaven fire that descended from the sky, falling onto the ground; not only did they cause large-scale forest fires, but they also burned huge craters into the ground, of unknown depth.

Yunzhongzi cried out in alarm, struck by several Sea-Calming Pearls, and he was sent flying backward.

His Immortal Garment, a Medium-grade Post-celestial Spiritual Treasure, was shattered, blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and his internal organs felt as if they were churning; the intense pain made his face turn pale, and the muscles on his face twitched incessantly.

Zhao Gongming did not press his advantage.

He withdrew the Sea-Calming Pearls and cupped his hands, saying, "I concede the victory to you. Fellow Daoist, you had best retreat."

Yunzhongzi sighed, as if feeling a sense of relief, and cupped his hands, saying, "Brother Daoist is formidable; this poor Daoist admires you."

After speaking, he turned and left.

On the other side, the battle between Lv Yue and Yuding Zhenren had also reached its end.

Lv Yue claimed to be the number one among the Outer Disciples; his combat power was naturally not poor, and he also cultivated the strange and unpredictable Plague Gu Technique, which made his methods even more insidious.

Caught off guard, Yuding Zhenren was implanted with Plague Qi by Lv Yue.

Suddenly, he felt intense pain in his internal organs, and even his Primordial Spirit felt as if it were about to split; his magic power flowed sluggishly, and his skin faintly showed a purple-blue hue.

"Despicable villain, to actually harm me with the Plague Technique!"

Yuding Zhenren roared.

"Haha, what this poor Daoist primarily cultivates is the Plague Gu Technique; who in the Honghuang does not know this? Where does this talk of harming you come from? It is you of the Chan Sect who are full of talk of benevolence and morality, while in reality, you are sinister, cunning, despicable, and shameless."

Lv Yue laughed heartily, a fierce look flashing in his eyes as he offered up the Xingtian Seal and struck toward Yuding Zhenren.

Afflicted by the Plague Technique, Yuding Zhenren's magic power flowed slowly, and he could only barely recover his Sword to strike at the Xingtian Seal.

Clang!

The Xingtian Seal shot out sparks, but the Sword was also knocked away, and then the Xingtian Seal collided with Yuding Zhenren.

"Ah!"

Yuding Zhenren of the Chan Sect looked up and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

He was sent flying backward, then plunged into the void without looking back, escaping.

"Hahaha!"

Lv Yue did not pursue, laughing joyfully.

Years of pent-up frustration were released in one move today; it was truly satisfying.

Although Lv Yue spoke harshly, he truly had no intention of killing Yuding Zhenren, because although the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect fought fiercely, they also maintained a mutual restraint.

No matter what, the Three Pure Ones were still one entity.

As a direct disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, it was impossible for Lv Yue to truly kill Yuding Zhenren; that would completely tear off the mask of civility. "Good!"

On Sishui Pass, countless soldiers cheered.

The live broadcast room was also boiling:

"Wow, this is a battle between Golden Immortals; it's too spectacular."

"It seems the Jie Sect is stronger after all; both Yuding Zhenren and Yunzhongzi were defeated."

"It's good to watch, but it's not exciting enough. Unlike the Yang God, who killed Taiyi Zhenren in the blink of an eye and stripped Guangchengzi of his fortune, that is true slaughter."

"Although the Three Pure Ones have split up, the affection is still there; how could the disciples of the two sects truly slaughter each other?"

"Hehe, that's not for sure. This time Zhao Gongming and Lv Yue won, and they didn't press their advantage, but if Yuding Zhenren and Yunzhongzi had won, it might have been different. You can't trust the character of the Chan Sect."

"That's also true; you say they are all disciples of Saints, so why are the disciples of the Chan Sect so sinister and shameless?"

It was fortunate that Yuanshi Tianzun was not watching the live broadcast, otherwise he would likely have been angered to death.

Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... the book...!

Tongtian Jiaozhu naturally saw it, and he chuckled softly, feeling a sense of gratification in his heart; who told Yuanshi Tianzun to always like lecturing him and treating his disciples as worthless.

Look now, not only did my disciples win, but your disciples' reputation is also ruined.

Yuxu Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted, his face dark.

Yuding Zhenren and Yunzhongzi were both his personal disciples, yet they were both defeated, and defeated by an Outer Disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu at that; this made him lose face.

……

As the great battle ended, the various Sages also withdrew their gazes.

The Loose Immortals who were livestreaming also ended their broadcasts one after another, but the impact of this battle had only just begun.

Countless related Short Video clips went viral on TikTok.

……

Golden Chicken Ridge.

Xiqi main camp.

Nangong Kuo reported: "Prime Minister, the statistics have been compiled."

"In this battle, our Xiqi had a total of 13 million participants, 15 Warships, 208 Mysterious Immortals, 2,345 Heavenly Immortals, and 8,536 Earth Immortals."

"After this battle, all 15 Warships were destroyed, 57 Mysterious Immortals were killed in action, 900 Heavenly Immortals were killed in action, 3,526 Earth Immortals were killed in action, and nearly 3 million soldiers were killed in action."

"Other light or serious injuries were not counted."

Hearing these numbers, even though Jiang Ziya had been mentally prepared, he still felt palpitations.

This battle was too tragic.

More than a quarter were killed in action.

If there were a few more battles like this, wouldn't all these people be wiped out?

The other high-ranking generals in the tent, as well as Yunzhongzi, also exclaimed in shock; they were also frightened by this set of data.

No one had expected that the foundation of Yin Shang would be so profound.

If not for the 200 Mysterious Immortals of the Chan Sect leading many sect members and disciples to come and assist, they would have long since been wiped out by Yin Shang.

As for Yuding Zhenren, he was not here.

How terrifying is the Plague Technique of a Peak Golden Immortal; until he recovers, Yuding Zhenren will not appear before the world, otherwise he would be a massive source of plague.

Wherever he goes, plague would run rampant.

Nangong Kuo looked at the exclaiming crowd and couldn't help but say: "Although we suffered heavy losses, I believe the losses of Yin Shang are not small either. If not for the final siege, our losses might very well have been equal."

At first glance, this statement seems to have no problem.

But upon a slight analysis, isn't this accusing Jiang Ziya of disregarding the lives of the soldiers to attack Sishui Pass? (End of this chapter)
